Kate Gosselin is speaking out against rumors that her kids were traumatized by their stint on Celebrity Wife Swap – or that she slammed Kendra Wilkinson . The former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star and Kendra star traded places Tuesday night, setting a ratings record but receiving considerable flak as well. At least in Kate Gosselin ‘s case. No surprise there. Kate Gosselin Defends Celebrity Wife Swap, Praises Kendra Certain comments she made appeared unnecessarily critical of K-Dubs, while rumors started flying that her kids hated the experience and were traumatized. How does she respond to those allegations? Kate tells celebrity news show Extra that they’re false, and in the clip above, has nothing but glowing praise for Kendra – and her husband Hank Baskett. She said ABC’s editors probably tried to highlight the differences between them for effect, but there is no feud with the Playboy model, only respect. As for the kiddos, she says they were on board with CWS and had a blast … which is not actually hard to believe considering they got Kendra for a week. She may be the epitome of laid back. Case closed? Seven million people watched, so the joke is on her critics. Good luck to Mark McGrath and Coolio next week, trying to top that figure.
If you’re a gamer or a J.J. Abrams fan, then you already know that, in addition to the rebooting the Star Wars franchise, his Bad Robot production studio has teamed up with video game developer Valve to explore movies and games, including adaptations of the latter company’s popular Half-Life and Portal titles. The two men revealed they are teaming up at the end of their keynote presentation at the Design, Innovate, Communicate, Entertain (D.I.C.E.) summit in Las Vegas on Feb. 6. Their conversation is presented in its entirety after the jump and it’s worth watching, not so much because of the announcement, which is vague, but because the discussion is a fascinating master class on the differences between storytelling in movies and video games. If I’m grading this faux debate, I say Abrams emerges the victor. Not only does he make his points well, the Half-Life clips he uses to illustrate his point also demonstrate how mind-numbingly pedestrian dialogue in video games tends to be. Newell gets in a good line Abrams’ filmmaking aspirations. After the newly minted Star Wars Episode VII director shows how R2-D2 was digitally inserted into a debris scene in the first Star Trek movie, the Valve chief says, “So now I have to go back through all of your movies looking at debris to figure out which movies you’re going to direct next? “ Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter .

Does this guy ever mind his own damn business? Donald Trump is weighing in on the drama between Halle Berry and her ex-boo Gabriel Aubry . Trump took to his regular forum, Twitter to air out his grievance with the Oscar winning actress: Trump can be on some dumb isht sometimes but we saw the photos of Catch Fade Gabe and he definitely got the knockout treatment.. US Weekly is also reporting that friends of the family have concerns Nahla is being treated like a pawn in the game between Catch Fade Gabe and Halle: “They keep playing this game and Nahla is used as a pawn,” a confidante says of the soft-spoken pre-schooler in the new Us Weekly, out now. “It’s her I feel sorry for.” Says another source of the Cloud Atlas star, who has a history of volatile romances: “All [Halle] wants is a normal family life.” Fortunately TMZ is reporting that things are looking up for the troubled family with both sides lawyers working together: There are strong signs … Gabriel Aubry, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez have called a truce in their Thanksgiving Day war … TMZ has learned. The big, big guns just showed up in family court … Blair Berk, who reps Halle, and Shawn Holley, who reps Gabriel. Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Berk, Holley and other lawyers spent hours yesterday trying to resolve the differences that led to the explosion of anger in Halle’s driveway. Berk and Holley straddle both areas of the law — criminal and family — and them showing up together is a sign they may have reached a peace accord. We’re told Halle and Olivier will not be present in court, so it’s highly unlikely either side is asking for an extension of a restraining order since the key witnesses are not there to testify. Gabriel just showed up wearing sunglasses. It would appear the lawyers will talk to the judge about the terms of a settlement. We hope for Nahla’s sake that things get worked out sooner rather than later. We’d hate for her to see her Daddy get treated like a punching bag again. WENN
Dear Bossip , Here is my problem. I was in an incredible relationship for 6 months that went from 0 to 100 quite fast! But, it wasn’t a bad thing. We both were on the same page. He told his family that he found the woman he wanted to marry and I felt the same way. Well, the problem began due to the lack of communication and the differences in our love language. My love language is gift-giving, but the way I receive love is words of affirmation. He was great at doing this. Here comes the problem. Out of nowhere we started to grow apart around the fifth month. He did not express it to me until after we broke up, which was nearly 3 months ago. He felt that I was not showing him the affection he wanted or deserved. He felt under-appreciated and not loved. I was totally blown out of the water because I felt that it could not have been further from the truth. Like, seriously, I love this man still wholeheartedly and unconditionally and will give my all to prove it. Fast forward to recently. Before we broke up we planned a trip to Jamaica to go to our friend’s wedding. He said we can handle this as adults. The chemistry was undeniable and it could not be hidden on the trip. Needless to say, we just clicked again, naturally, as if nothing happened. But, I could tell that he felt guilty about the chemistry and instant connection (Not that he stopped things from happening). So, I asked if he was seeing someone back home, and his response was, “Maybe.” What the heck does that mean? He said he doesn’t know what to call it. Turns out it’s a chick that he works with that has been eyeing since we been together, and she’d been constantly claiming that she can make him happier. Well, I guess she finally got her opportunity. After a phenomenal week, and amazing chemistry, the harsh reality hit me when she picked him up from the airport and jumped into his arms. He was hesitant I assume because I was standing there, but I can see she was happy to show me that she got her chance. My question is: Could she be the rebound chick or could this be more? He openly admitted to missing me and us in Jamaica, but said I hurt him by not showing him the affection he wanted. I told him then why couldn’t we just communicate these things and work on a solution instead of letting the love potentially die? He said he didn’t know. The feelings I felt in Jamaica were not fake. I know love still lives there, but his ego is too big and I believe he is afraid of getting hurt again. How do I right my wrongs? I do not want to give up on such a good man! I love him too much. I did a private boudoir photo shoot and the photographer made him a book and sent it to him. I asked for it back after the trip. He refused and said, “I love it,” and that I made it for him. I said, but I just sent it to you after we were broken up and now you have a new woman. I believe he knows he stills loves me, but don’t’ know if he wants to take the risk. Love is worth all the risks right? You can’t love fully unless you are willing to let go completely. Do you think I am wasting my time or do you think I still have a chance? I asked him was he happy and he said yes. He said she shows affection. I said what about the other eighty percent, love has a ebb and flow. It’s not always good, but it ain’t always bad either. What do I do? I want my man back before it’s too late! I l feel like she had the inside track and used it to her advantage. He was vulnerable and she helped him through it. I’m not blaming her but I want her gone and him back home! Help me! Why are men so full of pride? How do I fix my relationship? – Want Him Back Dear Ms. Want Him Back , Sigh!!! Deep sigh!!! Real deep sigh!!!! Let me do some whoo-sa’s and calm my spirit. Honey, please, for the sake of yourself, and for all of us, stop begging this man to take you back. It’s over. It’s done. He’s moved on. And, I’m for real when I say this, but do you all read your letters back to yourselves, out loud, before you send them in? You answer your own letters! In the very first paragraph you said, “Well, the problem began due to the lack of communication and the differences in our love language. My love language is gift-giving, but the way I receive love is words of affirmation. He was great at doing this.” If he broke up with you because he said you did not show him affection, and he felt under-appreciated and unloved. And, if the way you demonstrate love is through gift giving, and your man wants and needs affection, and he wants to feel appreciated, and he wants to feel loved, then boo boo, you can’t buy those things. Those are emotions and feelings that are done through physical and verbal actions. You can’t buy love! You can’t buy someone! Money and gifts does not equate love. So, why were you floored and shocked that he ended it? This is not rocket science. Your relationship is over because, as you stated, there was a difference in your love language. He wanted one thing, and you wanted another. You got what you wanted. You admitted that when you said that he was great at affirming his love to you. Yet, you didn’t do your part. You didn’t express your love to him the way he wanted. Now, he is with a woman that is doing what you should have been doing from the beginning. He is with another woman who ran and jumped into his arms when he returned from his trip to Jamaica with you. You notice that her act of affection, and attention when he returned, was the very thing he was seeking from you all along. So, let’s answer your other questions: How do you fix your relationship? Ma’am, you don’t have a relationship. The hell! You are truly delusional. He broke up with you. You are no longer together. He is with another woman. There is nothing to fix. Jesus take the wheel! Do I think she is the rebound chick or something more? Who knows, but for right now she is giving him the affection and attention he is seeking. She’s making him happy, and he obviously isn’t interested in dumping her to get back with you. So, what do you think? How do you right the wrongs? Ma’am, you learn from them. You take the lessons, learn from them, and make sure to do better the next time so that you don’t repeat them. Is love worth all the risks? Yes, love is. But, he is not in love with you. You’re in love with him, and in order for it to be reciprocal, and worth the risk, then two people have to be willing to fight for it. He’s moved on. He’s decided that he is better off without you. You’re the one chasing him. You’re the one running after him. He isn’t reaching out to you, or even said to you that he is willing to give it another try. He’s not interested. Do I think you are wasting your time, or if you have a chance? Well, as a betting man, I think you are wasting your time. Your relationship lasted six months, and in the fifth month things began to unravel. It was in the fifth month that you should have sat with your man, talked with him, and made the adjustments so that you can move forward. The two of you should have worked together to get on the same page, and discuss the challenges of the relationship. But, here is my thing: The fact that he is already with the other woman, his co-worker, this says a whole lot. They obviously had been eyeing one another prior to him dating you. I don’t believe that once you started dating that she all of a sudden showed up. This has been an ongoing thing between them. And, yes, she got what she wanted because he was going back to her and talking about his relationship with you. Thus, she listened to what he was complaining about in you, and she became the woman he wanted you to be. (That bish is fierce!) And, that little get together while you were in Jamaica was just that, a little get together. He had sex with you, rekindled with some familiar coochie, and you do notice that when you got back home he went home with her. I’m sure that there were some feelings while you were on an exotic island, and at a wedding so love was in the air, it’s romantic, beautiful, and everything a Hallmark card is made of, but reality set in when it was time to go home. He was reminded of all the reasons of why he broke up with you, and what he had waiting for him when he returned home. Yes, he may have been vulnerable and he really wanted things to work with you, but you didn’t give him what he needed or what he wanted. And, he didn’t think you were, or that you are worth the investment. Girl, please learn from this experience. It’s time to heal your heart, and focus all that energy on yourself instead of trying to get him back. Use that energy to become a better you. Use that energy to love yourself. Don’t chase someone who doesn’t want to be with you, and they are not chasing you in return. Don’t make someone a priority when you are an option for them. Don’t give your all if they are not giving you their all. – Terrance Dean Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think? Share your opinions and thoughts below!

Terrell Owens appeared on Dr. Phil yesterday with the three (of the four) women he has children with, and the TV personality eviscerated all of them. Very politely, but still. The ex-NFL great and the mothers of the kids he fathered (and say he doesn’t pay child support for) hashed out their differences in front of a live audience. And Dr. Phil. The erstwhile TV shrink started the show by going fairly easy on Owens, and never got flat-out harsh with the footballer. But the truth hurts. Terrell Owens on Dr. Phil Phil basically told Owens he’s an irresponsible human being (which T.O. to his credit acknowledged) and needs to be the father he personally never had. It was a sad and confusing display, made all the more so by Owens, now nearly broke and alone, recalling of his (lack of) relationship with his own father. Not that Terrell’s previous flings were spared by any means. Dr. Phil gave them a verbal dressing down as well, accusing them of stonewalling T.O. out of spite and likely scarring their children for life as a result. We never thought we’d say this about the TV spectacle, but maybe they all needed to hear it from someone … and Phil certainly doesn’t mince words.
Water under the bridge … Nick Cannon and Christina Milian have put their differences behind them to reconcile live on his radio show: The pair were one of the urban world’s hottest couples before they split in 2005 following reports of cheating on Nick’s side. Both have moved on since with Christina becoming mother to two-year-old Violet and Nick happily married to Mariah Carey and father to twins Morrocan and Monroe. While Christina called in to promote her new role on The Voice, the conversation soon turned to their failed relationship. “Regardless of my big mouth back in the day, I’ve got all great things to say about Nick too,” Christina admitted. Nick’s co-host Sarah Lee forced Nick to apologise for his womanising ways, saying: “I’m sorry for the things that I did. We was young.” Nick and Christina were always a “cute” couple, do you think the apology was sincere? Source More On Bossip!

Based on the last few years’ worth of voting results, Johnny Keyser has the look of an American Idol champion. He’s young, white and male. But does he have the sound? Yes, based on this 22-year old’s audition in St. Louis last night, the last stop for the Fox juggernaut before it finally showcases contestants to Hollywood. With his family watching, and following Johnny’s tale of growing up without a mother, Keyser received nothing but praise from the judges and unanimous Golden Ticket approval. Does this waterskiing waiter from Pompano, Florida really have a chance of going far? We think so. Listen for yourself: Johnny Keyser American Idol Audition
