Nothing True About “True Blood” Vampire Showdown

Truth rating: 0

You’d think a sexy and wildly popular vampire series wouldn’t need much artificial drama. Well, at least one gossip site disagrees.

Betty Crock: Site Brings Back Bad Jessica Simpson & Gerard Butler Rumor

Truth rating: 1

“Stop me if you’ve heard this one before,” Betty Confidential opens. We should have done just that. The site claims Gerard Butler is Jessica Simpson’s “latest Mr. Wrong” after their “date” in October led to nothing other than Butler “swapping spit” two weeks later with Lindsay Lohan.
