“It’s the ultimate fashion show faux pas,” chides the Daily Mail, “answering your mobile phone while seated on the front row.”

The British tab continues, “But we think Giorgio Armani probably forgave his star guest Jessica Chastain when she interrupted his Paris fashion show to find out about her Oscar nomination.”

Wait, what?!

According to the Mail, Chastain “had been watching models sashay down the catwalk for the Armani Prive haute couture presentation when her cellphone started ringing.”

When she answered, the actress found out she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her role in The Help.

“But given the nature of the call there were no hard feelings from the fashion pack and she received a round of applause from the room,” the paper reports.

So, the entire Armani fashion show stopped when Chastain got the exciting news?

Not exactly.

As a rep for the star tells Gossip Cop, the show hadn’t even begun yet when Chastain’s cell rang.

The exciting moment “was actually 10 minutes before the show started,” the rep explains, “when people were still being sat.”

It looks like the mistake belongs to the Daily Mail, not Chastain.

The mother of a “Toddlers & Tiaras” star is suing media outlets for allegedly “sexualizing” an online story about the 5-year-old girl.

In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in a Manhattan court, Isabella Barrett’s mother Susanna claims The Huffington Post and other sites posted a video of the toddler singing LMFAO’s “I’m Sexy And I Know It” and described the little girl as “gyrating in a nightclub and singing about her sex appeal.”

Susanna argues that it was a deejay who encouraged her daughter to mimic some dance moves, and that the media wrongly portrayed her as being erotic.

“She did not understand the concept of sex, let alone ‘sex appeal’ and could not have been singing about her own sex appeal,” claim the court papers.

The suit, which also names TMZ and the Daily Mail as defendants, says the portrayals have caused Isabella to be “perceived sexually, erotically and pornographically,” placing her “in serious physical danger, attracting the attention of others who would seek to sexualize a child.”

The lawsuit also alleges that the outlets caused the young reality star’s Glitzy Girl jewelry line to lose funding and a contract for another series.

The Barretts are seeking $30 million in damages, according to the New York Daily News.

Simon Cowell has split from his fiancee of two years, Mezhgan Hussainy.

“The X Factor” creator revealed the news in an interview with the Daily Mail, saying, “We have had a break from each other.”

Cowell tells the paper, “It is quite a complicated relationship… We are still incredibly close,” adding, “It’s not on, it’s not off, it’s somewhere in the middle. I don’t know if I will ever get married, but I am happy.”

He also says he regrets gushing about Hussainy on “Piers Morgan Tonight” at the time of their 2010 engagement, when he called her “the one,” explaining, “I have been pretty good about not talking about my private stuff, but I got caught up in the moment.”

Cowell and Hussainy met in 2003 when she was a makeup artist on “American Idol.”

“Jennifer Aniston is cutting back on her work schedule amid rumors that the ‘Friends’ star is pregnant,” begins a piece by the Daily Mail.

According to the British tab, Aniston “has told her agents she needs a break” and won’t “take on any more movies for the foreseeable future.”

“She wants to focus on herself and hopefully becoming a mother,” explains a so-called “source.”

But Aniston supposedly won’t stop working entirely.

Adele is blasting a report that claims her new boyfriend is still married.

Simon Konecki, whom the British singer has been dating for the last few months, is in the process of getting a divorce, says the Daily Mail.

According to the tabloid, Konecki and his wife separated in 2010 but still haven’t made their split official.

But that’s simply not true, says Adele.

She writes on her blog, “Contrary to reports and headlines in the press today, Simon is divorced and has been for 4 years.”

“Everyone in our lives separately and together wish us nothing but the best, and vice versa,” she adds. “These are the facts.”

Perhaps it’s time the Daily Mail took note.

As has been the case ever since she and Ryan Reynolds split, Scarlett Johansson is the subject of new dating rumors.

According to a report from the Sunday Mirror that’s been picked up widely, the actress and British rocker Dan White are an item.

The newspaper hears “the pair are quite smitten and both see the relationship going the distance.”

Wow, is that so?

A so-called “impeccable source” for the outlet alleges Johansson and White recently met at a London club and “got on like a house on fire… There was an instant connection.”

“They’ve been seeing each other for a good few weeks,” says the Mirror’s source, adding, “Dan’s proper happy about it – and what guy wouldn’t be? He already thinks the world of Scarlett.”

We’re sure he does.

But it seems his adoration of the actress is from afar.

A rep for Johansson tells Gossip Cop she’s “never met” White and says “this is a totally made up story.”

As Johansson herself said recently, it’s become “exhausting” trying to keep up with all the tabloid garbage written about her.

This 100% fake story is a perfect example.

James Bond is a neat freak?

That’s what the Daily Mail claims, alleging that Daniel Craig “refused to get into costume to film a swimming-pool scene” at the Four Seasons hotel in London because it was “too dirty.”

A so-called “source” says the actor, shooting the new Bond film Skyfall, said the gym was “dirty and untidy” and “refused to get into costume until it was cleaned.”

So is the rough-and-tumble action star really a locker room diva?

Not exactly.

A rep for Craig tells Gossip Cop the gym story is “entirely fabricated,” adding that the film company also calls the rumor “utterly false.”

We already know that Craig isn’t afraid to speak his mind for real, but outlets need not invent “dirty” rumors.

Lindsay Lohan will be “stepping inside the Celebrity Big Brother house,” reports the Daily Mail.

According to the British tab, producers of the U.K. version of the show “have already flown to LA for business meetings” with Lohan, who is “close to signing on the dotted line.”

The paper goes on to claim, “Crew members have already started shooting background footage of her in preparation for the next series in January.”

What’s more, says the Daily Mail, “Television bosses will persuade the courts to let Lohan to come to the UK by claiming the show will help to clean up her act.

“We hope that the courts will make a special allowance in this case,” says a so-called “insider,” adding, “There aren’t many more controlled environments than the Big Brother house.”

Besides the fact that the U.S. courts don’t give a darn about British TV producers who are trying to boost their entertainment shows’ ratings, the story is completely bogus.

When Gossip Cop asked Lohan whether she was in negotiations to appear on “Celebrity Big Brother,” she told us exclusively “no”

If this rumor sounds vaguely familiar, there’s good reason.

More than two years ago, Gossip Cop busted a strikingly similar story that emanated from a British tab, which said Lohan was in talks to appear on “Celebrity Big Brother.”

Hmm…

We have a feeling we’ll be correcting this same story again… in 2013.

Hugh Grant claims the Mail on Sunday hacked his phone for a 2007 story about his love life.

His allegations came during testimony heard by a media ethics inquiry into the British tabloid press, which has been accused of targeting celebrities and other citizens with phone hacking.

It marks the actor’s first charge that a non-Rupert Murdoch newspaper eavesdropped on his voice mail messages.

Murdoch’s News of the World folded last July after 168 years in print after its editors and reporters were implicated in a major phone-hacking scandal.

Grant believes that the Mail on Sunday‘s 2007 article about problems in his relationship with Jemima Khan could only have been written if that paper had accessed mysterious “plummy voiced” messages left by a woman the Mail claims was a female studio executive.

The actor says there was no such woman, but that he’d been in communication with a producer friend’s assistant.

“She would leave charming, joking messages… and she had a voice that can only be described as plummy,” testified Grant.

When asked whether he had hard evidence of hacking, the actor said he didn’t, but added, “I’d love to hear what the Daily Mail or the Sunday Mail‘s explanation of what that source was if it wasn’t phone hacking.”

Grant also alleges that tabloids have breached his security with regard to his apartment and his medical records.

A rumor picking up a lot of steam today claims Jennifer Aniston had an emotional meeting with Justin Theroux‘s ex, Heidi Bivens, in a New York hotel.

Grazia magazine originated the report after apparently gaining special access to the alleged tearful one-on-one between Aniston and Bivens.

Now the Daily Mail and other outlets are spreading the story about the two women supposedly clearing the air at the Mercer Hotel on November 6.

A so-called “source” for Grazia explains that Aniston “has always been sympathetic to Heidi” because she’s heard how “devastated” Bivens is about the Theroux break-up.

The actress supposedly wanted Bivens to know that there had been no overlap between the two relationships.

Aniston allegedly “explained that she wanted [Bivens] to know, hand on heart, that she would never steal another woman’s man.”

The magazine writes, “Heidi apparently got quite tearful during the meeting, as it was understandably a lot to take in.”

And, for Grazia, a lot to manufacture.

Because this story is 100% false.

A rep for Aniston tells Gossip Cop the meeting is a “complete fabrication” and “never happened.”

“While Prince Harry trains in a heavily Christian town in Arizona, he’s been told it’s best if he keeps his hands to himself,” reports Perez Hilton, who claims the mayor of Gila Bend, Arizona has “warned” the royal against having sex with the local ladies.

The blogger, picking up on a story from the Daily Mail, says, “The small town’s mayor warns HarBear of the many shotgun-wielding fathers in town, and if he were to ‘get to know’ any of the ladies, he’d be stepping on some hot sand!”

Mayor Ron Henry supposedly told the paper, “Some of the dads won’t take too kindly to a Prince fornicating the night away and drinking into the small hours. It is a very quiet town with a lot of good Christian people.”

“This isn’t a party town. I would advise the Prince to take in the beautiful sights of the desert instead,” the Mail quotes him as saying.

But now Mayor Henry is blasting the tabloid reports, saying that he was completely misquoted.

“I am deeply saddened that comments written by the Daily Mail were not only taken out of context but also total fabrications,” says the mayor in a statement.

“In fact, the negative comments were the words of the reporter who chose to sensationalize and fabricate a story rather than report the truth. I would never make such outlandish comments.”

He continues, “We have tremendous respect and adoration for Prince Harry and the Royal Family. We are excited, proud and honored to have him in our community.”

A week after it emerged that Madonna’s brother, Anthony Ciccone was homeless and living on the streets under a bridge in Traverse City, Michigan, now her older sibling is speaking out.

Anthony, who lost his job a year and a half ago at his father’s Suttons Bay winery that was funded by Madonna, now says, “I’m a zero in their eyes; a non-person, an embarrassment… If I froze to death, my family probably wouldn’t know or care about it for six months.”

And while it may seem heartless that a multimillionaire like Madonna has no contact with her brother, the fact of the matter is Anthony’s a drunk — and doesn’t seem to care about getting help.

Six years ago, Madonna paid for Anthony’s two-month stint in a Houston rehab facility, but he’s still not willing to change his drinking ways.

‘My family seem to think rehab is some kind of magic panacea for life’s ills,” Anthony tells U.K.’s Daily Mail in between drinks of cheap wine.

In 1993 Anthony, who’s had a string of jobs including tuning pianos in Michigan, canning salmon in Alaska, and scouting film locations in New York, fathered a son he hasn’t seen in more than a decade, all thanks to his alcoholism.

While certainly not an excuse to be a drunk, Anthony says it’s a “burden” being Madonna’s brother.

“People have their ideas and expectations. My sister’s a multi-millionaire — but she earned it, I have to give her credit for that. But you’d think there’d be some more family loyalty, and that’s not the case,” claims Anthony.

He adds that as children “we hated each other — sibling rivalry… She was a b***h, just like she is now. She remains true to form. You have to give her credit for consistency.”

Or maybe Madonna and her family have tried their best to help an alcoholic family member who’s unable to be saved because he’s so completely in denial.

What do you think?

The Daily Mail claims that Linday Lohan‘s relationship with fashion designer Philipp Plein may already be more than just professional.

Last week, Lohan jetted to Italy to be the face of Plein’s line at Milan Fashion Week.

And now, writes the tabloid, “It might not be just their professional relationship that has gone from nought to sixty in such little time.”

The paper claims last night “they appeared to share a lingering kiss, shield by a bodyguard.”

How convenient a bodyguard was in the way, so the Daily Mail couldn’t get a shot of the alleged smooch.

Instead, the tab deceptively ran a photo (right) of a man who is not Plein, talking closely to Lohan to make it appear like a kiss was in the making.

Regardless, there is NOTHING going on between Lohan and Plein.

The actress tells Gossip Cop exclusively, “No! It’s strictly friends and business.”

And oh yeah, the Daily Mail couldn’t even get the designer’s name right in its article. They wrote “Phillip” — it’s Philipp.

Whoops.

Last month, the Daily Mail wrongly reported that Blake Lively, Selena Gomez, Emma Roberts and Elizabeth Olsen were starring in a “Sex and the City” prequel movie, based on Candace Bushnell’s novels, detailing the early lives of the New York City foursome.

Gossip Cop debunked the rumor, so now the British tab is taking a different angle on the same story.

The paper writes, “‘Sex And The City’ is to return to our TV screens after producers met in Hollywood last week to discuss the new show,” quoting a so-called “source” as saying, “Everyone is agreed a TV show is the direction they want to take the franchise in.”

According to the paper’s supposed “source,” “Sarah Jessica Parker will be producing. She was worried about doing another film after the bad reaction to the SATC2 movie, but a TV show is definitely something she wants to happen.”

No, it’s not.

While there has been talk about a possible prequel TV series, a rep for Parker tells Gossip Cop the actress is NOT involved with the project, adding, “The Daily Mail story is false.”

The tabloid is now 0-2 when it comes to the franchise.

While Blake Lively has “her own career and millions in the bank,” writes the Daily Mail, when it comes to love, she prefers an “old-fashioned” approach.

According to the paper, the “Gossip Girl” star turned to the “cult dating manual ‘The Rules’ to hook Leonardo DiCaprio.”

“Not calling him, making him jealous and acting ‘busy,’ are just some of the commandments in the bestselling book” that Lively used to win over DiCaprio, reports the outlet.

A so-called “friend” of Lively’s claims, “Blake loves [the] dating book ‘The Rules’ and has been following it to the letter… She knew Leo could have any girl he wanted and she figured she had to stand out from the crowd… She’s making him work for it — and he’s fallen hard for her.”

Now it’s time for Gossip Cop to throw the book at the Daily Mail.

Lively did not ensnare DiCaprio nor did she trick him via games.

The two, rather naturally, fell for each other.

A source close to the actress tells Gossip Cop the tabloid’s story is a “bunch of lies.”

The tabloid says the new mom “ordered a $1,600 bottle of Angel champagne – and had it delivered to the ladies toilet” at Juliet Supperclub in New York last Thursday.

And that’s not the end of the singer’s supposed “diva behavior,” says the paper.

Betty White might be America’s Sweetheart, but according to quotes attributed to her in the Daily Mail, she isn’t so sweet on Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen.

In a story that’s been picked up by multiple outlets, the paper reports that White had stern words for show business’ younger generations, supposedly citing Lohan and Sheen by name.

“They party too much, don’t learn their lines, are unprofessional and they grumble about everything,” the Mail quotes White as saying about contemporary celebrities. “I think they are terribly ungrateful.”

The “Hot in Cleveland” star reportedly continued, “I cannot stand the people who get wonderful starts in show business, and who abuse it. Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen, for example, although there are plenty of others, too.”

But did White actually call out Lohan and Sheen, as alleged?

Gossip Cop wanted to make sure and reached out to White’s agent, who told us the quotes are, to the best of his knowledge, not attributable to her.

Could something have been miscommunicated?

“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may boycott next month’s Oscars ceremony because they don’t want an awkward red carpet confrontation with the host, Anne Hathaway,” begins a story in the Daily Mail that got picked up by numerous outlets.

The reason?

According to the tab, the couple is upset over a “Saturday Night Live” sketch from November in which Hathaway did a cutting impression of Holmes.

“The whole thing has left a sour taste with Tom,” a so-called “source” tells the Daily Mail.

As a result, says the source, “Tom and Katie don’t want to have to cross paths with Anne” at the Academy Awards.

Interesting, but…

Completely “ridiculous,” says a source close to the couple, who explains that “no one knows,” at this point, who will and won’t be at the Oscars because “nominations haven’t been announced” – and, to an extent, it’s the nominations “which dictate the presenters.”

Gossip Cop‘s impeccable source adds if Cruise isn’t at the Academy Awards, it’s because ”he is shooting a film that has to wrap,” and not because of an SNL skit.

He then quotes “insiders” as saying,”Eva had her heart set on adopting a child from Haiti. She so wants to be a mother. She wanted to adopt with Tony, but she’s happy to go ahead as a single parent and is very excited after what’s been a dark period.”

Perez further editorializes that Longoria is being “selfless to look beyond her own pain and still focus on what’s important to her!”

And that would be incredibly selfless, if it were true.

But a source close to the “Desperate Housewives” star says she has no plans right now to adopt.

According to various poorly informed “sources,” Chace Crawford is really busy these days.

The “Gossip Girl” actor has been linked to Rachel Bilson by Life & Style, while the Daily Mail claims he’s with Kelly Osbourne.

Instead, the site just regurgitates Life & Style‘s eyewitness’ claim that Crawford and Bilson were “flirting” and the “attraction was obvious” at a group dinner in New York, while also rehashing the Daily Mail‘s report that Crawford and Osbourne “have been on a couple of dates.”

Let us kill two birds with one… story.

In a piece titled, “She’s Gorgeous Topless — But Is Jen Aniston Too Skinny?” once again the novices at HollywoodLife are thin on facts.

In just the first two sentences of a piece on Aniston’s new perfume ads, the facts-challenged site makes two glaring errors.

HollywoodLife reports, “Jennifer Aniston looks unbelievable in the ads for her new fragrance Lolavie! The black-and-white photos were leaked and published by the Daily Mail, and they show Jen posing topless on the beach.”

First, the fragrance is NOT called “Lolavie,” it’s simply called “Jennifer Aniston.”

(At one point, the perfume was going to be named “Lolavie,” but was changed because it sounded too similar to Marc Jacobs’ “Lola” fragrance.)

Second, the photos were not “leaked.” They were in a press kit sent to the media.

Once again, HollywoodLife’s reporting makes little “scents.”

“Will Robyn (and Australia) Take Mel Gibson Back?” asks PopEater today, a day after Gossip Cop answered the very same question.

Of all his mistakes, says the site, none upsets Gibson more than ending his nearly 30-year marriage to Robyn Gibson for a relationship with Oksana Grigorieva, with whom the actor is now locked in a heated custody battle.

PopEater claims, “Now the troubled star will do whatever it takes to win [Robyn] back including moving his entire family back home to Australia.”

Wait– move back where with whom?!

Other outlets like HollywoodLife and The Daily Mail (and, of course, Perez Hilton) floated this same foolish story over the weekend, and Gossip Cop was the FIRST to call the rumor for what it was: total bunk.

Yesterday, Gibson’s rep told us the rumor was “complete rubbish,” and so today’s PopEater piece is now day-old rubbish, which stinks even more.
