Jose Baez Shopping Casey Anthony Interview to Networks

Casey Anthony’s lawyer Jose Baez is reportedly at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in New York City, holding meetings with all of the major TV networks. NBC, ABC and CBS are all competing for the first interview with the accused child murderer, and you can bet HUGE dollar amounts are involved. Sources connected with the negotiations say there is a ” big price tag .” The networks don’t technically pay for interviews, however, they can offer to license photos and other material and pay whatever amount Baez asks. NBC, which is paying for Baez’s hotel room, looks like the frontrunner, but ABC is in the game, while CBS “is a distant third” to land the sit-down. Baez spent part of last night in the hotel bar with famed lawyer Mark Geragos, whose clients include or included Michael Jackson, Susan McDougal (Whitewater), Greg Anderson (BALCO), Winona Ryder, Scott Peterson and Chris Brown . Geragos, who is well-versed in high-profile cases and tricky negotiations such as this, reportedly gave Baez some advice in reaching a deal. Whether or not Casey Anthony is back in Florida already, it looks like she’ll only be in hiding – and flat broke – for so long.

The John Galliano Anti-Semitism Defense: Drugs!

John Galliano entered a courtroom in Paris today to face charges of “public insults based on origin, religious affiliation, race or ethnicity.” The former head of Christian Dior faces a possible sentencing of six months in jail for hurling anti-Semitic remarks at a Jewish couple in France this February. He told them he loved Hitler and made references to how their people were “gassed.” Such talk, labeled as “racial prejudice,” is illegal in that country. Galliano has since apologized for the outburst , but it will take more than that to get the fashion guru off. Aurelien Hamelle, Galliano’s attorney, tells E! News she’ll portray her client as an addict. “He had a triple addiction to alcohol, benzodiazepine (Valium) and sleeping pills… The combined effect of these drugs is a state of complete and utter abandon,” Hamelle said. “When he was in that state he had no way of knowing or remembering what he said.” A verdict on the trial will likely not be announced for a couple months.

Did Jennifer Aniston Go All Angelina Jolie on Justin Theroux’s Girlfriend?

Some critics of Jennifer Aniston’s newest relationship say that she “stole” boyfriend Justin Theroux from his girlfriend of 14 years , Heidi Bivens . In other words, haters say Jen pulled an Angelina Jolie. The 42-year-old fell hard for costar Theroux on the Georgia set of Wanderlust last fall, and “nothing was going to get in her way,” Us reports . But is that really the whole story here? “Jen went after him hard,” a set source says, dishing on how Aniston and Theroux began having secret trysts at her temporary, secluded digs. Charmed by his quick wit, hipster style and impressive screenwriter background, Aniston “overlooked her secret beau’s relationship status.” “Jen wanted Justin and it didn’t matter that he was already with someone,” says the source … but here’s one thing that doesn’t add up. Theroux ended things with Bivens in March. He began dating Aniston after that. Yes, Bivens was still living at their NYC apartment in June, but Theroux was not. So they weren’t living together in earnest. The source even says that Bivens “didn’t know Aniston was the catalyst” behind the split, the source says, “until now … it sucks when your ex dates the most famous woman in the world so soon after a breakup.” That it does, we have no doubt. But he didn’t go public with Jen until very recently, he and Heidi weren’t married, and there’s no proof of cheating. Somewhat unusual circumstances, but not home-wrecker material. There are some parallels here, but nothing like what happened with Brangelina. Perhaps the tabloids should stick to making up flat-out nonsense, like the story about Angelina Jolie being an anorexic heroin addict . That was good! [Photo: Us Weekly]

Congratulations to the couple on the big news. This is the second least expected pregnancy story of the week after Owen Wilson and Jade Duell !

Brandi Glanville on Eddie Cibrian-LeAnn Rimes Engagement: Eh, Whatever …

Brandi Glanville, whose marriage to Eddie Cibrian imploded after he had an affair with LeAnn Rimes, is indifferent about their engagement . “Brandi knew this was coming for a while, but after everything she’s been through since finding out, she couldn’t care less,” says a source. “LeAnn has gotten exactly what she wanted from the get go.” “[Brandi] never wanted Eddie back, so it didn’t matter to her at all if they got engaged, broke up or whatever. Now he’s LeAnn’s problem.” Not exactly a congratulatory message. Hey, at least she didn’t go all Carrie Underwood on his car … again. She really did that last year. “Now LeAnn can wonder what he’s really doing on those boys-only weekend trips, who he’s always texting, who’s at his ‘poker nights.'” Mason, Jake and Eddie have moved in at Rimes’ home. Says the source: “As long as she’s good to her boys, it doesn’t matter to Brandi.” “LeAnn should keep her eyes open,” the insider adds. “A tiger never loses his stripes.” Brandi Glanville was married to Cibrian for eight years and they have two sons together: Mason, 7, and Jake, 3. They divorced in August. Rimes’ seven-year marriage to Dean Sheremet officially ended this time last year. Sheremet himself is engaged to girlfriend Sarah Silver. It’s been a turbulent situation from the get-go, but here’s hoping everyone moves on happily … or as close to it as humanly possible.

Miley Cyrus on Set: Embarrassed, Working Hard

While the celebrity gossip world continues to debate Miley Cyrus and her smoking of salvia – Bill O’Reilly finds it “pathetic,” Dr. Drew says she needs help and Melissa Gilbert thinks Miley leaked the video herself – what is the 18-year old at the center of this controversy up to? Work. Miley is in New Orleans shooting So Undercover , a film that will find her infiltrating a college sorority as a FBI-hired investigator. Sources tell E! News that Cyrus received a surprising visitor on set the other day. Miley Cyrus Bong Video Anna Oliver, the friend who reportedly filmed the video above, paid her pal a visit. They got along okay, but “then Miley told her she had to go back home because she needs to focus on the movie,” an insider said. Overall, how is Cyrus coping with the controversy? A source in Louisiana says the actress is “very committed to the movie” and is “trying to turn things around.” “She’s working out in the gym for two and a half hours a day and hasn’t partied at all,” this insider tells E!. “She’s embarrassed by what has happened. She’s very regretful about what she did and about it getting out.” Tish Cyrus has also been spotted around the set with her daughter, while friends say So Undercover co-star Kelly Osbourne has been there a lot for the 18-year old. “Kelly has been through a lot herself and is being a really good friend for her,” says the source.

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson Simply "Grew Apart," Source Claims

Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson did not split because of Blake Lively or anyone else, nor did their separation stem from one particular issue. They two stars simply grew apart under the strain of managing two thriving careers and leading separate lives, a source close to the couple says. “There’s no third party,” says the source, who adds that Ryan and Scarlett’s separation was a mutual decision they made about a month ago. Reynolds and Johansson were married in 2008. “They had been having some issues for months. Distance played a big role. When you don’t spend a lot of time with your partner you grow apart.” Recently, they “started to lead different lives , and it was harder and harder to come back together and pick up where they left off,” the source says. Still only 26 now (Ryan is 34), “Scarlett was young when they married. She’s a mature person but at points they were just on different pages.” Reynolds, who is filming a movie in Atlanta, and Johansson, who is currently in Jamaica with some girlfriends, remain firmly on good terms. Don’t expect that to waver, either, says the source: “They had an intense, loving relationship, and they’ll always love and respect each other.”
