Getty Images, Twitter.com. Splash News, SIPA USABetween Justin Bieber's elaborate Twitter hoax and Bam Margera's poor taste in pet photography, it was hard to know what to believe this week.
With that in mind, we've taken the liberty of sorting it all out for you right here.
Dig in, because these celebs' stories have been known to change at a moment's notice!
UTTER DISBELIEB: Jury's still out (don't worry, not a real jury) on whether a laptop was stolen from Justin Bieber's tour manager. What isn't in doubt is that the Biebs pulled off a crafty Twitter stunt when he led people to believe that some anonymous creep was gearing up to blast the singer's personal videos online for the world to see, when the only thing getting blasted was the teen's new video with Nicki Minaj. *We wonder what his cousins Ryan Gosling and Avril Lavigne have to think about this!)
JACKASSERY: Bam Margera never would have posed with a fake gun pressed to his pit bull puppy's head if he had known there had been a recent rash of dog abuse in Philadelphia. But otherwise, of course, it would have been hilarious.
SETTING THE SCENE: Hulk Hogan explained the circumstances surrounding the sex tape he unwittingly made about six years ago. And guess what? The explanation didn't make it any less creepy.
TAKEN FOR A RIDE: Lindsay Lohan must be tired, what with being up all night fighting with her mom, while on the phone with her dad, who was taping their conversation because he's out to get her mom, who said Lindsay was dead to her, then hugged her, prompting Lindsay to want to vote for Mitt Romney, probably because she'd have more money to give her family if she paid fewer taxes, but she's not registered to vote, and even if she were it'd probably be in a blue state... Thumbs-up on her red hair, though, even if it's wrong. And at least there is once again room for her at the inn.
ICE ICE BABY: Jennifer Aniston gave us our first glimpse at her massive diamond engagement ring. Let's just say, it ain't the Pitts...Blake Lively also waggled her finger on the red carpet.
TAXI!: Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman, together for 30 years and such a perfect couple we never even thought to think twice about them, have separated and the missus' ring has come off.
OCTOGONE? Nadya Suleman won't be prosecuted for child neglect after a couple of her former nannies told police they had witnessed some unsavory things going down at the Octomom's residence.
