Tex. School Denies Child of Gay Moms

The daughter of a lesbian couple, married legally in Canada, was denied admission by a private school outside of Dallas. FoxNews.com reports that Jill and Tracy Harrison attempted to enroll their daughter Olivia at Bedford's St. Vincent's Episcopal School in Bedford. Upon going through Olivia's application, school officials assumed Tracy was a man, but when the women attended parent's night, Olivia was denied admission. The school released a statement claiming the women's “personal values” were in conflict with that of the Catholic school. The letter made a point to only reference Olivia's biological mother: “We regret the disappointment the mother feels. It is clear, however, that enrolling the child in a traditional Christian school, such as St. Vincent’s School, would not foster her own personal values at home. And it might undermine the moral instruction of our clergy and teachers in the minds of our schools students and parents. Our prayers are with Olivia and her mother.” The Harrisons said they chose St. Vincent's because of recommendations and the school's low student to teacher ratio. added by: TimALoftis

David Bowie Denies Lady Gaga Collaboration

Rock legend’s official site calls document claiming that Bowie and Gaga would work together a ‘hoax.’ By Gil Kaufman David Bowie Photo: Virgin Lady Gaga has often spoken about her love for chameleonic rock icon David Bowie and his gender-bending, glitter-splashed style. Last week, when rumors emerged on a Gaga fansite that the Thin White Duke would be working on Gaga’s upcoming album, fans of both artists were understandably intrigued, excited and a bit skeptical. But Bowie’s official website has denied rumors that he would lend his legendary croon to a song reportedly titled “Vinyl.” The statement, written by the site’s news editor, read in part: “When this tall story first surfaced a few days ago it was denied as a hoax in an update to the same article, and we thought that would be the end of it. I guess some folk see what they want to see though.” The scanned document that popped up last Thursday, which bears the hoax-y title “confirmation of recorded music,” also lists Gaga collaborator RedOne as one of the album’s producers and engineers. Also named on the fake list are famed R&B producer Teddy Riley and his daughter Taja, as well as former Gaga collaborator Fernando Garibay (Pussycat Dolls, Britney Spears). Song titles cited include “Hooker on a Church Corner” and “Scream Loud.” “The rumor that David Bowie has been working with Lady Gaga seems to have taken off,” continued the statement on Bowie’s site. “The hoax was started by some bright spark or other with the above forgery … However, in a nutshell, the suggestion that David Bowie is producing and participating in the production of Lady Gaga’s next album is untrue and a hoax.” Gaga has kept a tight lid on the details about her second full-length studio effort. In an interview with i-D , she said, “The new album is my absolute greatest work I’ve ever done, and I’m so excited about it … The message, the melodies, the direction, the meaning, what it will mean to my fans and what it will mean to me in my own life — it’s utter liberation. I’m on the quest to create the anthem for my generation for the next decade, so that’s what I’ve done.” Though she’s had a close, hit-heavy relationship with RedOne, Gaga promised that she’s updating her sound on the still-untitled album with a slate of new producers who she’s declined to identify. “I will never tell because as soon as I tell, everyone starts working with them,” she said of her new album’s production team. “So all I can say is that nobody knows who they are. They’re all new.” Related Photos The Evolution Of: Lady Gaga Related Artists David Bowie Lady Gaga

Report: Witness in Mel Gibson Case Dies

Mel Gibson’s babysitter , who may have been a key witness in the domestic abuse case involving his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, has lost her battle with cancer. The sitter, whom he crassly labeled a “wetback” in one of his now-infamous rants , and who claims she witnessed the actor’s rage, passed away over the weekend. According to Oksana, the babysitter witnessed Mel storming around the house, slamming doors and screaming on the phone, “I want to [expletive] destroy you.” The woman never provided a statement direct to law enforcement investigators before she died, and says she didn’t come forward sooner because of her cancer. She apparently left the actor’s Malibu mansion before his alleged January 6 rampage, during which Oksana claims Mel punched her while she held their daughter. What the babysitter actually witnessed, we may never know. However, her testimony could have been critical in at least establishing that Mel was very much out of sorts that day. It’s all a moot, tragic point now, however. In one recording, Gibson is allegedly heard referring to the babysitter, saying, “I will fire (name omitted) if she’s at your house. I will make it known and fire her.” The deeply disturbed individual then throws in this dig at her: “I’ll report her to the (expletive) people that take (expletive) money from the wetbacks, okay?” Grigorieva is hoping to strip the actor of custody of their daughter, Lucia, now nine months. Her attorneys say the audio tapes prove he’s a danger to the child. The recordings may not be viable in a criminal probe as they were made without Gibson’s consent, though she claims she did so because she feared for her life .

Obama, Daughter Take a Dip in the Gulf

President Barack Obama and his daughter Sasha took a dip in the water on Saturday afternoon during their brief family vacation in Panama City Beach. White House officials said the two went for a swim at Alligator Point, behind their hotel, before eating lunch at Lime's, a waterfront restaurant at the Bay Point Marriott. Below are earlier versions of this report: 3:30 p.m.: PANAMA CITY BEACH — The first family indulged in a simple lunch by Grand Lagoon at Lime’s Bayside Bar and Grill at the Bay Point Marriott on Saturday afternoon. Early rain eased for the family, allowing them to dine outside on the dock under a partly cloudy sky, despite the heat and humidity. The first family’s menu included chicken tenders, fish tacos and a burger with an order of guacomole. White House officials said the family shared each of the items. Lunch was taken at a leisurely pace appropriate for the family vacation; President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle and their daughter Sasha spent a few hours at the hotel before departing for their next destination, which has not been announced. — 2:15 p.m.: PANAMA CITY BEACH — The oil has stopped flowing and the well has been capped, but the work is far from over in restoring the Gulf region to the pristine condition it enjoyed before the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. With a backdrop of U.S. Coast Guard ships at Navy Support Activity Panama City, President Barack Obama on Saturday vowed he and his administration will not slacken their efforts in the Gulf until the environment and economy are fully recovered. “Our job is not finished, and we are not going anywhere until it is,” he said.

Kara DioGuardi Has Not Heard From ‘American Idol,’ Her Dad Says

U.S. Senate candidate Joe DioGuardi says his daughter is disappointed in the way she’s been treated. By James Montgomery Kara DioGuardi Photo: Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Getty Images Two weeks after she was rumored to have been fired from “American Idol,” Kara DioGuardi has still not spoken to anyone involved with the show, and feels that she has been mistreated by producers. At least, according to her dad, anyway. In an interview earlier this week with Albany, New York, TV show “Capital Tonight,” Joe DioGuardi — a former congressman now seeking the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate — said that his daughter is disappointed by the way “Idol” has treated her, and that she remains in the dark about her future on the show. “Would you believe that she did not hear — and still has not heard — anything?” DioGuardi said. “She read [about her supposed firing] the way you and I did. Her disappointment is that that’s the way she’s being treated, and she feels that’s not proper.” Following fellow “Idol” judge Ellen DeGeneres’ announcement that she was leaving the show, reports began to surface that DioGuardi was out too. “Idol” has been conducting a lengthy search to replace one of them, as well as departed judge Simon Cowell. Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler is apparently in the mix, and, until earlier this week, so was singer/actress Jennifer Lopez , though producers reportedly dropped her from the list of potential replacements after her demands “got out of hand.” Joe DioGuardi chalks all that maneuvering up to “Idol” trying to generate some buzz for the fading show, and added that, despite her bitterness over the way she’s been handled, his daughter would still return to the judges’ table if she were asked. Maybe. “I think what they’re trying to do is create a lot of buzz, like they did with Paula Abdul. They’re trying to reformat the thing, but Kara has a very deep career in music … so she’ll be fine,” he said. “Would she want to do it another year? I think so, but she just got married, and she’d like to have a family, so maybe this is a good opening for her too. She has plenty of options. I think she will, at some point, confront them on that.” Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Oksana Grigorieva Source Describes Mel Gibson Rampage; Says Star Threatened to Hit Baby

Did Mel Gibson threaten to hit his own daughter? That’s the latest allegation from her mother and his ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva in their ugly feud. According to Oksana, Mel said he would “hit” little Lucia, their baby girl, during an explosive blow-up with his ex-lover, saying “‘Take her! I will hit her!” A February 18 incident was the catalyst for Oksana to walk out on the star, taking their daughter with her. Many, many irate Mel Gibson rants followed. The day after, Mel supposedly texted her to say he ” wasn’t safe for you last night.” His nicotine withdrawal may be responsible, in part, for the rampage. On the 18th, Mel and Oksana gathered in the lush grounds of the actor’s Malibu mansion, for a tree-and-placenta planting ceremony in honor of Lucia. But what should have been a joyous occasion turned ugly, Oksana says, when Mel became angry, accusing her of “smiling too much” at the gardener. Was Oksana Grigorieva checking out the gardener? “Oksana has recounted that Lucia began crying, so she went back inside – and Mel followed her in,” a source, familiar with Oksana’s testimony, reveals. “When they got inside, Mel started ridiculing Okana’s accent … In response, she said she rolled her eyes at Mel, which made him even more angry.” The source said Grigorieva apologized to an irate Mel and “begged for forgiveness,” but Mel responded that Oksana was always irritated with him. “Oksana said she told Mel that his comment was she was only irritated when he accused her of smiling at the gardener and made fun of her accent.” Grigorieva then recalled : “This set off Mel and he flew into a rage.” In the hours that followed, Mel returned to the house, after leaving for a break, at which point, “Oksana said Mel told her he needed to leave the house again, in order to show her and Lucia what ‘mean’ really is,” said the source. “He also supposedly told Oksana, in regards to Lucia, ‘Take her! I will hit her. I have got to go,’” and Oksana took him at his word, taking Lucia to one of Mel’s other properties, in Sherman Oaks, Calif. He then started to call. And call … and call, and call … Oksana had already accused Gibson of hitting Lucia and bruising her face during on January 6, the same night he allegedly punched her mother. The 40-year-old Russian beauty was holding the baby when the star supposedly slugged her in the face, causing damage to two of her teeth. As he did this, he also allegedly hit baby Lucia, bruising her chin. The abuse photos of Oksana surfacing online have been cast doubt upon, however, as she reportedly did not produce them during her mediation sessions with the actor. Gibson has not been charged with a crime, denies ever assaulting Oksana, and has accused her of trying to extort him for money with the tapes. Who do you believe?
