“Jen’s Secret New Year’s Elopement!” reads a headline from OK! magazine, which claims Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux are planning to tie the knot in upstate New York some time this week.

A so-called “insider” for the tab divulges, “They are both incredibly excited; Jen can’t believe it’s actually happening!” noting, “They’re writing their own vows, and she’s already rewritten hers countless times.”

According to this same source, eloping to upstate New York is ideal for Theroux because “his friends and family are mostly on the East Coast, so they can have a party right after the wedding.”

The alleged “insider” also claims to know all about Aniston’s “classic” wedding dress, describing her top two choices as “a caramel shift design and an off-white column style, both by Carolina Herrera.”

“Jen’s longtime hairdresser, Chris McMillan, will do her hair, and Justin’s pal Terry Richardson will take photos,” adds the source.

On the wedding guest list, says the mag, are “Jen and Justin’s mutual pals like Ben Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor, as well as Robert Downey, Jr.,” and Aniston’s close friend Chelsea Handler.

We’re starting to wonder if OK! is also on the guest list, considering how many intimate “details” about the alleged ceremony they claim to know.

Now that’s a laugh.

Regardless, a rep for Aniston tells Gossip Cop, “It’s all made up.”

Well, here’s something you don’t usually see during movie promotional tours.

Brett Ratner is the director of Tower Heist, the new Ben Stiller-Eddie Murphy movie, and he went on “Attack of the Show” to discuss it with host Kevin Pereira.

Then he talked about having sex with Olivia Munn.

Um… what?

Well, there’s some history here.

Munn, the TV host-turned-actress routinely and wrongly linked to stars like Justin Timberlake, wrote graphically in her memoir about a director many assumed to be Ratner.

In a remarkably… um, candid, moment during his interview on “Attack of the Show” – where Munn used to work, by the way – Ratner disclosed that he used to date Munn back “when she was Lisa… she wasn’t Asian back then.”

He continues, “She was hanging out on my set… I banged her a few times… but I forgot her, because she changed her name, I didn’t know it was the same person. So when she came and auditioned for me for a TV show, I forgot her, she got pissed off and made up all these stories.”

Those stories are a little too graphic to describe here, but Ratner freely goes into detail in the video below.

What do you think about the way both Munn and Ratner handled their history?

Bill Clinton’s birthday bash included many Hollywood stars, but the real action was going on behind the scenes, where an elite team of celebrities brainstormed new ideas for the Clinton Global Initiative.

In this spoof for Funny or Die, an exasperated Ben Stiller picks the brains of a group including Sean Penn, Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen and Jack Black.

The results are pretty hilarious, including appearances near the end by two “Bill Clintons” (only one of whom is real).

“Saturday Night Live” parodied Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill‘s movie, Moneyball — about how the Oakland A’s turned a losing franchise into a winning team — with a film titled, Tinyballs.

When Hill’s character says the Oakland A’s “shouldn’t buy better players. It should make better players,” Pitt’s character says, “What, with heart?”

“No, with steroids,” says Ben Stiller‘s drug-dealer character.

The ballplayers then develop major muscles, big breasts, and tiny testicles.

Jennifer Aniston spent $450,000 on a painting at the “Artists for Haiti” auction at Christie’s in New York.

Her beau, Justin Theroux, bid on Aniston’s behalf, eventually winning Glenn Ligon‘s abstract oil, charcoal and graphite work “Stranger #44.”

Check out a picture of the painting below!

The final bid far exceeded the $150,000 to $200,000 estimated price tag on the canvas.

The event was co-organized by Aniston’s friend, Ben Stiller, and raised $13,662,000 to benefit health and education initiatives in Haiti.

After the auction, Aniston and Theroux joined Stiller and his wife, Christine Taylor, for dinner at Il Cantinori.

Ben Stiller wants his new charity to get a lot of attention.

The cause – supporting schools in impoverished areas around the world – is extraordinarily important, so the actor has decided to ensure extra publicity by “naming” it The Jennifer Aniston Foundation.

Aniston herself is surprised to learn she has such a foundation, and will presumably be even more shocked that its URL is SeeJenniferAnistonNakedFoundation.com.

Stiller announces the move in a new introductory video (watch below).

It’s a funny stunt, but Gossip Cop encourages everyone to check out the (very real) work The Stiller Foundation is doing and to lend aid.

The Stiller Foundation, which the actor launched after an earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, will stage an event on September 23, with all proceeds going to non-profit groups working on the island nation.

Clinton, Stiller and art dealer David Zwirner will share hosting duties.

The former president is deeply involved in helping Haiti recover, having launched the Clinton Foundation Haiti Fund in the earthquake’s aftermath, and creating the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund with George W. Bush.

The Zoolander sequel is coming, and perhaps sooner than we thought.

Ben Stiller just told Empire that he and Justin Theroux have completed the script and handed it over to the studio.

He also he revealed some interesting plot details.

“It’s ten years later and most of it is set in Europe. I don’t want to give away too much, but it’s basically Derek and Hansel ten years later – though the last movie ended on a happy note a lot of things have happened in the meantime,” explains Stiller.

“Their lives have changed and they’re not really relevant anymore. It’s a new world for them.”

“Will Ferrell is written into the script and he’s expressed interest in doing it. I think [his character] Mugatu is an integral part of the Zoolander story, so yes, he features in a big way.”

Are you looking forward to Zoolander 2?

Dane Cook, who has sold out arenas and starred in several films including Good Luck Chuck and Employee of the Month, is going to make his Broadway debut this spring.

The performer is set to appear in Neil LaBute‘s comedy “Fat Pig” about a guy who’s begun dating a large lady, and how the relationship confounds his rude buddy and an ex-girlfriend.

The female roles have yet to be cast, but the part of the man dating the heavyset woman is being played by Josh Hamilton, and Cook is starring as – not surprisingly – the rude dude.

Cook joins a string of other comics who will be on Broadway this spring.

Chris Rock is making his debut in “The Motherf***er with the Hat”; Ben Stiller is starring in “The House of Blue Leaves“; Jim Gaffigan will headline in “That Championship Season”; and Robin Williams will make his Broadway bow as a tiger in “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo.”

Ben Stiller and Edie Falco are coming to Broadway.

The stars are set to play opposite each other in a revival of the black comedy “The House of Blue Leaves,” and Gossip Cop has confirmed Stiller’s participation.

Originally staged in 1966, the play takes place on the day Pope Paul VI visits New York City, and touches upon a number of 1960s themes.

Stiller will play Artie Shaughnessy, a zookeeper who dreams of being a successful songwriter. The role of his schizophrenic wife, Bananas, belongs to Falco.

As it happens, Stiller was also in a 1986 revival, playing Shaughnessy’s son.

Dustin Hoffman is a stubborn Focker, but a Focker nevertheless.

The actor has reportedly agreed to reprise his Meet The Fockers role for Little Fockers, the third film in the Meet The Parents series.

Hoffman, who plays Ben Stiller‘s character’s father, had been resistant to the idea of coming back for the so-called “threequel,” but he’s finally signed on for the Bernie Focker role again.

Barbra Streisand is already returning as his wife.

The production, which was already shot, will film several full scenes in September to incorporate Hoffman’s character.

The couple played by Stiller and Teri Polo have (surprise!) children in the latest installment, which is scheduled for a December 22 release.

Les Grossman is now a star.

After a bit part in Tropic Thunder and hit dance routine at the MTV Movie Awards, the “movie producer” is getting his own film.

Paramount Pictures and MTV Films are developing a movie around Grossman, it was announced on Wednesday.

Tom Cruise and Ben Stiller will produce after having secured Grossman’s “life rights.”

“Les Grossman’s life story is an inspiring tale of the classic human struggle to achieve greatness against all odds,” said Stiller. “He has assured me he plans to quote, ‘F**king  kill the sh*t out of this movie and make Citizen f**king Kane look like a piece of crap home movie by the time we are done.’ I am honored to be working with him.”

Plot details are still vague. When asked about the screenplay, “Grossman” replied, “To quote my great friend Kirk Lazarus, ‘I don’t read the script, the script reads me.’

Producers behind the 82nd Academy Awards just announced eight new male presenters to an already star-packed lineup at Sunday’s broadcast.

Bradley Cooper, Tom Ford, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pine, Keanu Reeves, Sam Worthington, Ryan Reynolds, and Gerard Butler will present Oscars, according to producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman.

The group joins previously announced presenters including Jason Bateman, Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Ben Stiller, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Barbra Streisand, Kathy Bates, John Travolta, and Queen Latifah.

We’d say that lineup isn’t too shabby.

Just when you thought controversy involving Conan O’Brien was over…

The New York Post quotes a source close to producers behind Friday’s Hope For Haiti Now telethon as saying they were “horrified” to witness the deposed “Tonight Show” host “gleefully saying… he’s spending as much of NBC’s cash as he can, while hundreds of thousands have died or face death in Haiti.”

The item refers to a running gag on O’Brien’s final broadcasts in which he “wasted” NBC’s money on expensive, nonsensical comedy bits involving a pricey Bugati car, Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird, and an original Picasso.

Gossip Cop understands anger toward reckless spending in the face of tragedy, but two points:

1. O’Brien did not actually waste millions on the surreal sight gags. As he made clear during Friday’s finale, they were a joke. He didn’t, for instance, buy a real Picasso just to destroy it with caviar. Nor did he really buy the car or the horse.

2. On the contrary, amid the hoopla over his exit, O’Brien mentioned the catastrophe in Haiti throughout his final week, frequently promoting Ben Stiller‘s Stiller Strong initiative to rebuild schools on the island, pleading with viewers to donate, and running the Hope For Haiti Now address at the bottom of the screen during his last show.

Additionally, several times O’Brien acknowledged the silliness and irrelevance of his own problems when compared to the devastation in Haiti. And his “expensive” gags may have wasted time… but not millions of dollars.

Gossip Cop hopes Haiti won’t leave our minds as it begins to leave our front pages. Please donate if you can.

We thought we might escape 2009 without any more ridiculous Robert Pattinson romance rumors.

We worried we wouldn’t have another chance to laugh and laugh and laugh…

And then we saw this.

Yes, hard partying singer Amy Winehouse has “developed a crush” on Pattinson and “finds him and the idea of vampires incredibly sexy.” So sexy, in fact, she’s “threatening to have a vampire-themed blowout” at her home on New Year’s Eve.

News of Winehouse’s crush comes from Janet Charlton’s Hollywood, which infamously alleged Spencer Pratt‘s sister suspected him of setting up her DUI arrest and announced (wrongly) that Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor had split.

But, hey, why should that track record of failure influence our response to Charlton’s statement, “Are we imagining things or does Rob look a little like Amy’s ex-husband Blake [Fielder]? Picture Rob in a wife-beater.”

So, Gossip Cop fans: Robert Pattinson and Amy Winehouse. Couple to watch in 2010?

Just kidding.

UPDATE: Another victory for Gossip Cop. Janet Charlton’s Hollywood has since pulled down her completely inaccurate report!

“Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor Split,” screams the headline from the blog Janet Charlton’s Hollywood.

Charlton then begins her story with “We didn’t see this one coming.” Yeah, well no one did because it’s 100 percent NOT TRUE. 

The bad blogger continues by saying that an “inside source” told her that Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor have “put their house on the market for a good reason: they’re splitting up… Christine supposedly wants OUT of the marriage.” While it is true that they have put their home on the market, Taylor does not want out of the marriage and, once again, they are NOT splitting up. (They’re simply moving.)

Charlton even has the gall to editorialize, “It’s sad because they have two young kids.” Yes, it is sad, but it’s only sad because Stiller and Taylor now have two kids who have to hear a completely bogus rumor about their loving parents.

The only one who should split is Charlton.
