Sandra Bullock and Brett Ratner: NOT Dating

Are Sandra Bullock and director/notorious playboy Brett Ratner engaged in a “dangerous” romance? One tabloid would certainly have you believe it, but no. This week, In Touch ran a cover with a laughing Bullock and Ratner Photoshopped atop her, with the headline reading, “SANDRA’S RISKY NEW ROMANCE.” The caption: “Two years after her divorce, she’s opened her heart and learned to trust again. But will dating Hollywood’s biggest player end in heartbreak?” Turns out the only thing Bullock is doing with Ratner is issuing statements. Bullock and Ratner issued the following statement to The Huffington Post , deriding the magazine while firmly denying any claims of a romantic connection : “We think that it’s incredibly sad that in these times, this magazine would resort to a complete fabrication, solely for financial gain,” the twosome said. “There is not a shred of accuracy in their story … We have not seen nor spoken to each for over a decade. We both had a great time after the Oscars.” “Just not with each other.”

Snooki: I’m Ready to Settle Down!

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, ready to settle down? We’ll believe it when we see it, but that’s the rumor going around ever since she confirmed she’s pregnant and engaged. The man responsible for both those life changes: Jionni LaValle. Needless to say, Snooki’s bundle of joy wasn’t exactly planned. But she and Jionni seem thrilled, and more than ready to begin life anew . The Jersey Shore star said: “I’m 24. I’ve had all the fun I’m ever going to have in my life.” Presumably she meant… as a single girl, with no kids? No word on whether she will really be leaving Jersey Shore after this season, but in any case, congratulations to the pair as they begin their next chapter! “I’m not thinking it may happen, I know,” she said last month, about marriage. “I know that I found the right guy… I’m just waiting for him to ask.” Looks like Jionni stepped up in a big way. Will Snooks be a good mom? Will Snooki and Jionni last? [Photo: WENN.com]

Darren Criss Turns Down X Factor Hosting Job

For all the chatter over who may next judge The X Factor – Britney Spears, for $20 million ? – it’s easy to forget: the show is also without a host for season two. And that remains the case, E!

Did Lindsay Lohan Knock Some Dude Into the ER With Her Car?

The alleged victim of Lindsay Lohan’s hit-and-run has gone to the emergency room, according to reports. Could the actress end up taking a hit herself? Hours after the troubled star’s car allegedly swiped a person in a parking lot this morning, the L.A.P.D. confirms that the man sought medical attention. Police Department sources confirmed to E! News that the man who was reportedly hit by Lohan in Hollywood initially did not claim to be injured . However, the supposed victim has recently gone to the ER, although the authorities do not know what reasons he had for going there specifically. There have also been reports that the man is from another country and did not know who Lohan was, but LAPD could not confirm that information. For her part, Lohan is calling out the Hookah Lounge manager, who said she grazed him with her Porsche, Tweeting: “Scrape? This is a complete lie.” “I’ve been at community service.” “Last night, I attempted to wish a friend happy birthday, which I didn’t even get to do because I was freaked out by all of the paparazzi.” Lindsay adds, “These false accusations are absurd.” Lohan, in fact, may have been the one who called the police in the first place because of the swarms of paparazzi blocking her getaway from the club. It remains to be seen if the man will press charges, or if that somehow complicates Lindsay’s probation, but you can bet her lawyer’s sweating a bit. [Photo: WENN.com]

Synthetic Marijuana Spurs State Bans

Seated at a hookah lounge in the Tower Grove district, Albert Kuo trained his lighter above a marbleized glass pipe stuffed with synthetic marijuana. Inhaling deeply, Mr. Kuo, an art student at an area college, singed the pipe’s leafy contents, emitting a musky cloud of smoke into the afternoon light. Mr. Kuo, 25, had gathered here with a small cohort of friends for what could be the last time they legally get high in Missouri on a substance known popularly as K2, a blend of herbs treated with synthetic marijuana. “I know it’s not going to kill me,” said Mr. Kuo, who likened the drug’s effects to clove cigarettes. “It’s a waste of time, effort and money to ban something like this.” On Tuesday, Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, signed a bill prohibiting possession of K2. Missouri is the nation’s eighth state this year to ban the substance, which has sent users to emergency rooms across the country complaining of everything from elevated heart rates and paranoia to vomiting and hallucinations. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/11/us/11k2.html?_r=1&ref=politics added by: unimatrix0
