Celebrities are taking to Twitter, reacting to the news that Kim Kardashian has filed for divorce from Kris Humphries after just two months of marriage.

While some stars are mocking the reality star’s short-lived union, most are reaching out in support of Kardashian.

Kelly Osbourne wrote, “@KimKardashian thinking of you stay strong don’t listen to the haters listen to your heart! xoxo.”

Fellow divorcee Brandi Glanville tweeted, ”I’m sorry but I’m so Happy KimK is dropping that tool! She can do waaaaaay better!”

“Hoping the best for Kim,” wrote Russell Simmons.

Lisa Rinna looks at the short union as a teachable moment. “Well I think the big lesson is being learned by all,” she writes. “Keep your family lives private your wedding should never be on tv. Sad for them.”

As for the pricey presents the former couple surely got on their August wedding day, LuAnn De Lesseps says, “Def return gifts or donate them to a charity and do some good!”

Samantha Ronson took a jab at Kardashian, saying, “Wait, so it was actually a real wedding?”

Not leaving it alone, she later tweeted, “can he change his name back to ‘C’hris now?”

Spencer Pratt also called out the reality star, saying, “Will @KimKardashian make more money from the wedding storyline or the divorce? #hustler.”

The Roots frontman Questlove took the humorously oblivious approach, writing, “… Wait, Kim Kardashian got married?”

Gossip Cop will continue to update as more celebrities react to the news.

Justine Simmons is the latest victim of a sick death hoax.

The wife of hip-hop icon and reality star Rev Run was said to have died in a car accident on Friday. The rumor began on Twitter and even became a radio report.

It is 100% false.

Simmons is alive and well, and celebrating her 17th anniversary in the Cayman Islands.

Her brother-in-law, Russell Simmons, was forced to debunk the baseless, cruel rumor on his site, Global Grind.

Once again, a nasty prank has gone too far and needlessly worried a public figure’s friends and family.

Gossip Cop hopes the trend ends soon.

Chris Brown‘s behavior has generated a lot of attention, but one response in particular is getting buzz of its own.

In a blog post on Global Grind, Russell Simmons defends Brown, who recently stormed out of ABC after a “Good Morning America” interview veered into the topic of his assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.

“Chris is suffering from the same thing that almost every young star has gone through, including the Disney kids,” writes Simmons.

“Having lost control, some of these young artists, sometimes, do an unspeakable thing at a moment in time. And they pay the price. But… what’s not fair is artists paying the price of the sins in their young lives for the rest of their lives.”

Simmons believes that “when fame snatches your freedom, the ability to control your own life becomes much more difficult.”

He mentions the tribulations of other notable young stars and says that Brown deserves similar lenience.

“Disney kids are allowed a little bit more of a break. Sometimes you have to even feel sorry for them. Not that the media didn’t continue to drive Britney Spears freakin’ crazy. Not that the media doesn’t mess with Miley Cyrus every day. Not that the media doesn’t stalk Lindsay Lohan. I’m just saying, give this man [Brown] a break.”

Many observers (and commenters on Global Grind) have expressed outrage at Simmons for wanting Brown, who committed a heinous act of violence, to get a pass for his transgressions.

Simmons’ support of Brown raises many difficult issues of crime and redemption, youth and personal responsibility, double standards and media treatment.

How do you feel about Brown answering for his past behavior during his current press tour?

What do you think of Simmons’ opinion?

There’s been some confusion ever since Russell Simmons said Tiger Woods was considering donating $3 million to earthquake-ravaged Haiti, and was ”working on sending a mobile hospital with 50 EMTs to go set up a triage.”

While the golfer’s Tiger Woods Foundation hasn’t spoken yet to Simmons, Gossip Cop can confirm that the organization is definitely going to help those affected by the earthquake, although no specific dollar figure has been determined.

According to Foundation president Greg McLaughlin, “Our plan is be part of the relief effort to help rebuild Haiti by supporting organizations that provide critical resources to young people, which is consistent with our mission and previous efforts regarding Hurricane Rita, Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 tsunami.”

Worth noting: For the 2004 tsunami, Woods’ foundation doled out $100,000 in charity, and for Hurricane Katrina, the golfer gave $200,000 to set up an educational fund.

So Woods has been very generous in the past. He’s also, of course, been caught in an image-shattering sex scandal for the last two months.

In this crisis, of course, help is great no matter the context.

Whoa! MediaTakeOut – or MediaFakeOut as some call it – ran with a screaming headline, “Explosive Allegation: Jay Z‘s Former Friend Suggests That [he] Engaged in Homosexual Acts!!!”

According to MediaTakeOut, which also posted a videotaped rant from the past pal, rapper Jaz O, “Jay’s former friend appears to be saying that Jay is involved in some kind of GAY SECRET SOCIETY.”

Because Gossip Cop doesn’t print expletives, we can’t really publish too much of what Jaz O said, but we will report that he also used the ever classy hand signal of sticking his right index finger into his rounded left hand, and noted Jay-Z’s “involved in that play.”

Additionally, Jaz O makes some sort of other nonsensical claim that Jay Z lets people “feel him up.”

Forget how outrageous the allegations are about the man who put a ring on it with Beyonce. We’re sure legal types will address that.

The question is why did MediaTakeOut even publish this story and post the video? Unfortunately, we don’t know because our request for a comment from MediaTakeOut went unanswered.

But we know exactly how Russell Simmons feels about it. Simmons, the legendary founder of Def Jam – the label that Jay Z ran – told Gossip Cop the story is “bad reporting. So stupid.” He added, “That’s ridiculous. Misery loves company,” and felt “it’s sad people writing sad stuff for short-term relief, but then that again promotes long-term sadness.”

The allegations, the reporting – all truly sad (and wrong).
