Rumor Mill: Is Tara a Terror?



While rumors spread across the internet that Tara Reid has been showing up late to the Vancouver, Canada, set of her upcoming film Vipers, and that the movie’s director has been bad-mouthing her behind her back, those behind the scenes of Vipers tell OK! a very different story.

“Tara has been a complete professional,” claims producer Mary Anne Waterhouse. “The entire cast and crew have enjoyed working with her.”

As for reports that he had unkind words for his scandal-magnet star, director Bill Corcoran explains, “I don’t understand where these false reports are coming from. They can’t be further from the truth. Tara has been a delight to direct.”

Filming on Vipers is slated to wrap up this week, just in time for Tara to enjoy Thanksgiving.

Hayden Panettiere Says Warrant Filed for Her Arrest



Hayden Panettiere is a wanted woman after interfering with a dolphin hunt in Japan last month.

“I learned that they have an arrest warrant out for me in Japan,” the Heroes star, 18, told E! News Wednesday. “We just found out.”

Usmagazine.com has learned the warrant is for obstruction of commerce.

The actress, along with other activists, attempted to block a pod of dolphins from being led into a nearby cove for massacre by fishermen in the southwestern Japanese town of Taiji on October 30. The fishermen insisted hunting dolphins is a Japanese custom, and Panettiere had no business interfering.

To avoid arrest for trespassing by the Japanese national police, Panettiere said she fled to the Japanese city of Osaka and left the country immediately.

The actress released a statement about the arrest warrant on Thursday. “We can no longer hide behind out-dated, senseless cultural traditions and lazy, bad habits that are resulting in the annihilation of our planet’s resources and the extinction of our species,” Panettiere said. “As a spokesperson for the “Declare Yourself” campaign, I encourage everyone – particularly young people – to educate themselves on the candidates and their positions on environmental issues.”

She closed, “Every generation has its own challenge; this is the challenge of our generation.”

Dita’s a Tease



Burlesque queen, fetish model, professional clotheshorse Dita Von Teese, well known for her sultry, retro-glam style, is also one of the faces of MAC Cosmetics Viva Glam line, which in addition to sexying up the lips of ladies everywhere, also helps out a good cause, as all the money from the sale of Viva Glam products goes to the MAC AIDS Fund.

Given Dita’s connection to all things carnal, when OK! recently caught up with the former Mrs. Marilyn Manson at the MAC AIDS Fund event in New York City, we were dying to know the latest news from her boudoir. Alas, the raven-haired beauty kept her famous red lips shut tightly on the subject, saying coyly, “I have all kinds of special people in my life,” before adding, “don’t you wish I would tell you.”

Actually, yes Dita, that’s why we asked.

Oddly enough, one topic the sexy siren was willing to chat openly about was her passion… for baking. “I’m an excellent baker,” she tells OK!. “I like to do pumpkin pie and fancy, pretty cakes… things like that — Christmas goodies.”

We hope that whomever that special someone in Dita’s life is enjoys those goodies this holiday season!

Report: Britney Spears Not Allowed to Drive Kids



After being told that Britney Spears ran a red light with her young sons in the car, a judge ruled Friday that the pop star may no longer drive with the children, TMZ.com reports.

The sealed order came after a 90-minute hearing with lawyers for Spears and ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Attorneys declined comment on the reported ruling after the hearing.

“Orders were made. … I can’t discuss the content of those orders,” says Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. “Documents have not been released by the court, and I don’t know if they will be. The matter will be continued at a future date.”

Spears’s lawyer Anne Kiley told reporters afterwards that everything “was great.”

At the request of Federline’s attorney, Shane Partridge, the photographer who filmed subpeoned video of Spears’s allegedly running a red light on Nov. 8 was also present, but he did not participate in the hearing.

“The tape of Britney running the red light was not viewed today, but it was a major point of the hearing,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Britney’s lawyers brought in an expert who argued that, for whatever reason, Britney could have made the turn through the red light.”

Jessica Simpson’s Type: “A Man With a Cute Butt”



After a string of failed romances – Nick Lachey, Adam Levine, John Mayer — Jessica Simpson says she is now looking for a different type of guy: a family man.

“Like, if a kid were to come up to him and tug on his shirt, he’d pick him up on twirl him around,” she explained on The View Thursday. “I definitely love a family man, a guy that’s not afraid to pick up the babies.”

Oh yeah, she added: “And somebody who wants to meet my grandparents immediately … if he has a cute butt, that’s all right.”

(Her celeb crush? “[George] Clooney is a little hottie,” she gushed. “He’s a man!”

Still the single singer, 27, said she is too busy for love at the moment.

“I’m kind of married to my music right now and focusing on writing an album,” said Simpson, who is recording a country album in Nashville.

Britney Spears Runs Over Yet Another Photographer’s Foot



Another day, another driving debacle for Britney Spears.

The singer, 25, allegedly ran over a photographer’s foot while leaving the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills Wednesday.

The accident occurred around 9:30 p.m. when Spears and pal Sam Lutfi pulled up to the valet and photographers began surrounding her Mercedes SL65. Spears then pulled into the back entrance. She was still there as of 10:20 p.m.

Another emergency custody hearing in her battle with ex Kevin Federline is set for Friday.

Federline’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan — who has insisted Spears not be allowed to drive when with her kids — requested the hearing after a video surfaced of Spears allegedly running a red light with her boys in the backseat in L.A. November 8.

Kate Walsh: No Time for Kids



Though former Grey’s Anatomy star Kate Walsh might have recently gotten married in a fairy-tale wedding to TV exec Alex Young, the Private Practice star says both she and her new hubby have a little too much to focus on right now before they think about starting a family.

“Both of us are pretty much working constantly and seeing each other when we can,” Kate, whose wedding was featured exclusively in the pages of OK!, tells TV’s Extra in an interview set to air Wednesday.

So what about those baby rumors? “I’m pregnant with triplets now and I feel really good!” Kate jokes, before quickly correcting herself. “No, I’m not… Right now, my baby is Private Practice… She is beautiful and strong, growing every week.”

Owen Wilson’s Mystery Girl Revealed!



Owen Wilson is stepping out with a new blonde stunner — and it’s not Jessica Simpson.

Usmagazine.com has learned that Wilson’s current squeeze is One Model Management catwalker Le Call, 25.

The pair (who met through friends) have been dating casually for several weeks but are seeing a lot of each other, a source close to Wilson tells Us.

“She’s a sweet girl with a great heart,” says the source. “She helps keep Owen grounded.”

Despite being photographed around the Big Apple, the troubled funnyman, 39, and Call, a Cape Girardeau, Missouri, native living in NYC, haven’t been hitting the club scene.

Adds the pal: “They enjoy biking and doing outdoorsy stuff.”

That’s a departure from Wilson’s flir–tation with Simpson, 27, with whom he was spotted in early November living it up at bars in Manhattan and Santa Monica, California.

Notes the source: “Owen needs someone like Le. She has been a great sense of comfort for him.”

Will the Real Heidi Montag Please Stand Up?



Well, it seems clear after last night’s episode of The Hills that Heidi and Lauren are definitely not going to be friends again, right? Unless you read Blender magazine’s new feature on aspiring pop star Heidi, who says the person we know as Heidi on The Hills is just a character she plays. Huh?!

Says Ms. Montag of life on reality TV, “I’m just glad I don’t have to deal with all the drama. I mean, it’s fun to watch, but I’m glad it’s not my life. I’m actually a drama-free person.”

Among other choice tidbits from Lauren’s former BFF, who, of course, was accompanied by her ever-present bore-friend Spencer Pratt:

On the gigantic (and rumored to be fake) engagement ring fiancé Pratt gave her: “It’s at home,” Montag told the interviewer. “I take it off at night because it’s big and I don’t want it getting caught in my hair or scratching my face, and I didn’t have time to put it on today.”

On her career plans: “I’ve always been singing. I’ve been dancing since I was 2—hip-hop, jazz, tap, everything. I was a wicked stepsister in Cinderella. I was a fairy in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. I was Beatrice in . . . an old English play. Acting, singing, dancing —it’s always been in me.”

On how, in addition to her music ambitions, she’s also planning on becoming an award-winning actress: “I also plan to win an Oscar,” she says. “I’m very ambitious.”

On how she’s not a brainless shopaholic: “I like to read a couple books at once. I was reading the Princess Diana book. I’m reading a book about Chicago and the mob. Right now I’m also reading the Bible, beginning to end. I’m very religious. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.”

Wow, this definitely isn’t the Heidi we know from The Hills, is it?

Which, of course, begs the question: Is the Heidi we see on the show closer to the real Heidi than the “real” Heidi who’s being interviewed in Blender? —

Jen Garner: Losing Baby Weight Was a Hassle



Most mothers would sell their soul to look as good as actress Jennifer Garner does only 23 months after giving birth to her adorable baby girl Violet, and the slim star admits that it was a lot harder than she had at first expected.

“A first I thought it would just happen,” she confessed on The Morning Show With Mike and Juliet, and when the baby weight didn’t magically disappear, Jen said, “eventually, I just hit the treadmill.” And though Jen ultimately realized that “the thing is to aim for balance,” the former Alias star also admitted that her current role in Cyrano De Bergerac on Broadway has her staying slender. “I’m on a natural diet of being put into a corset every night!” she joked.

However, Jen’s Broadway diet hit a hitch this weekend when the stagehands of the Great White Way decided to go on strike, temporarily shutting down all the major shows in NYC. So what’s an actress to do with her free time? “I get to put my daughter to bed,” Jen said with a smile. “I really just hang out with her.”
