New Gossip Girl star Michelle Trachtenberg is accused of being just that, after a blog post on Just Jared claims the actress talked smack about newly wedded Pete Wentz as she waited for a flight over the weekend.

"Pete's been a friend of mine for years. I think the world of him. I would never trash him," said Michelle, adding that she's "very happy" for the couple.

Nevertheless, Ryan did pass on some sage advice: "If you're gonna talk crap on somebody, do it via text. That's how I roll."

Unless, of course, you're dissing Simon Cowell each week in front of 30 million American Idol viewers. Then it's OK to speak your mind freely and openly.

Kate Hudson says it doesn't bother her that magazine editors routinely alter her image so that her green eyes look blue. But they also add a lifelike sparkle of intelligence to them. She hates that.

Hundreds of bleach-blond women in tight shiny dresses showed up for the casting call for Paris Hilton’s My New BFF. They were all in one room! We’re totally demanding a refund for our detonator.

Heather “$48 Million” Mills still defends her decision to dump a glass of water on Paul McCartney’s divorce attorney, saying “I cleansed and baptized her.” Guess money can’t buy you sanity.

Perez Hilton, Lauren “L.C.” Conrad and Pam Anderson have all been invited to the venerable White House Correspondents dinner to hobnob with the prez and VP and, we guess, share their thoughts on foreign relations. Canada, if you want to invade, now’s the time.

Blythe Danner says daughter Gwyneth Paltrow’s marriage to Chris Martin is solid. They’re just not seen in public because they don’t like to be photographed together. Danner’s been an actress for 30 years, but she’s still not convincing us.

It takes four hours for Paula Abdul to put on her makeup. Given that most days she looks like a wrestler in drag, we guess it proves the adage less is more.

Ashlee and Pete are getting married. They haven’t yet settled on the particulars—you know, the date, the location, which one of them will wear the wedding dress. Those kinds of things.

Beyoncé’s single-mom sister, Solange, says the diva would have a steep learning curve if she were to become a mom herself. And by “steep learning curve,” we assume she means a staff of nannies.

Gwen and Gavin say they want to wait until their second child is born to find out if it’s a boy or a girl. We don’t want to have to wait that long to find out what weird name they’re going to give it.

Speaking of baby names, do you think Hugh Jackman named his 7-year-old son Oscar because that’s the only way the actor think he's ever gonna get one?

Barron Hilton pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors from a drunken-driving incident and will lose his license for a year. We’re happy that justice has been meted out—and thrilled that Barron’s copycat cry for attention didn’t involve a sex tape.

Antwan "Big Boi" Patton will be performing live with the Atlanta Ballet beginning Thursday. Not to be outdone, we hear André 3000 plans to beatbox at the symphony.

• Britney Spears stopped at McDonald’s yesterday, used the restroom and walked out. Who says we don't give you news you can use?

• David Beckham thinks life is great! In his most recent blog post, he uses the word great no fewer than five times. Either he’s got a limited vocabulary, or there truly is no better word to describe the life of a guy who just scored his first Major League Soccer goal, recorded a message for Idol Gives Back and made $48.9 million.

• In fact, Becks is so on top of the world he looks downright thrilled to be getting pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer yesterday. Think he said, “Actually, officer, I’m a great driver...”?

• Amy Winehouse has been known to make tea for shutterbugs parked outside her home, and now she’s reportedly doling out cash to the paps so they can buy themselves some coffee as they stake her out in the cold. Guess misery really does love company.

• Christina Aguilera’s boobs have gotten smaller since giving birth. In related news, a little part of Jordan Bratman’s soul has died.

• Benji Madden’s ex-girlfriend Sophie Monk was “protected” from the paparazzi by a homeless woman who draped her arm around the pretty blonde and told the paps to back off. We still don’t understand why Benji is with Paris, but we now know why he and Sophie fell in love: They both appreciate the embrace of unwashed women.

• Mischa Barton will accept a plea deal in her DUI case on Thursday to avoid any jail time. Because that 82 minutes buddy Nicole Richie endured was such a killer?

• Frenchie from Rock of Love 2 is selling herself on eBay for $2,500. Bidder must provide a round-trip ticket from Vegas and all other amenities. Except one: In case of water landing, she’s already got the flotation devices. (A fake-boob joke. Yeah, it's that kind of day.)

• Paris Hilton reportedly inquired about purchasing a cheetah while she was in Africa, but she didn’t ultimately buy one. Wait. She wanted to buy a sharp-toothed wild animal capable of tearing her to shreds in a few gleeful seconds—and someone discouraged it?

• The release of Tom Cruise’s Nazi movie has been pushed back a third time. The studio is now looking at a 2009 release date—or as soon as Katie gets knocked up with twins.

• Oprah earned $260 million last year. Think she makes Gayle hide wads of cash under her chairs for Oprah to “find” from time to time?

• Fergie is not pregnant, but if she were, she says she’d ask Gwen Stefani for parenting advice. While you’re at it, Ms. Lady Lumps, mind asking Gwen for some singing/songwriting advice? Please?!

• George Clooney arrives at the spot of Beyoncé’s wedding, but just to tape The Charlie Rose Show on a different floor. Ouch. Nothing says “you’re totally not invited” like riding in an elevator full of revelers while you’re off to work.

• In other Clooney news, people are hating on his girlfriend Sarah Larson, reportedly leaving messages on his voice mail telling him to “dump the bitch.” He tried to trace the call, but came to a dead end. Phew! Um...we mean...

• Fergie says she downs shots of vinegar because it helps flush out fat and control cravings. And it goes great with Josh Duhamel’s diet plan of rolling around in fried cod.

• Cameron Diaz has reportedly been seen canoodling with 300 star Gerard Butler. So that’s who Cameron’s future ex-boyfriend is.

• Idol Gives Back drives the message of charity home by having do-gooder Brad Pitt appear on the show to talk about charity—a speech no one can hear over the wild din of the audience’s collective orgasm.

• Victoria Beckham appears in Marc Jacobs ads sucking on leather gloves and looking like she’s going to make out with a purse. Were these photos shot for the ad, or does Posh just really, really like accessories?

• Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are named “most hands on” couple for being the celebs most often photographed touching and/or kissing each other in public. Miley and Coffee Bean iced mochas were totally robbed.

• Anne Hathaway's boyfriend gets thrown in the slammer for bouncing $250,000 check. We would be thrown in a mental institution for even writing a $250,000 check.

• National Enquirer is totally hot for Jennifer Aniston’s uterus. The mag claims Jen suffered a miscarriage during her marriage to Brad. Forget movies, Jen. You could make a killing with a pay-per-view fallopian cam. Just a thought...

• Lauren "L.C." Conrad won’t endorse a candidate. And we won't ever get back the 15 seconds it took to type that sentence.

• This John-Mayer-made-out-with-Perez-Hilton story just won’t die. We find it a bit far-fetched, but John, if you are into celebrity gossip bloggers, we’re listed!

• Britney’s new/old manager is promising “the biggest comeback in history.” So she's going to prove GOP operatives embarrassingly wrong and win New Hampshire?

• Ah. No. She may be reprising her role on How I Met Your Mother. Same diff.

• Jeremy Piven came to Indiana State University to shamelessly hit on nubile young coeds campaign for presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama.

• Amy Winehouse is going to appear on the nerd-tastic TV series Dr. Who...which we will hereby refer to as Dr. WTF.

• Jessica Alba is going to name her daughter Honor Warren, allegedly because she felt it was “an honor to have Cash’s baby.” In other news, Jamie Lynn is planning to name her child Life-Altering Attention-Getting Mistake Aldridge, or Uh-oh for short.

• Sources tell E! News that Victoria Beckham left vintage boutique The Way We Wore with “period-specific pieces” that are thought to be inspirations for her own line. We don’t know which period she specifically chose, but we pray her line doesn’t include pantaloons.

• Amanda Bynes tells E! News she's just as perplexed by Jamie Lynn Spears as we are: “Well, I have never been 16 and pregnant. But I have a dog, which is a lot of work, so I couldn't even imagine how hard it would be. I was just always told to try and not get pregnant!”

• Meanwhile, Jamie Lynn is hard at work, planning her wedding. Each guest will receive a box of Jordan almonds and some stretch-mark cream.

• Madonna and Guy Ritchie sleep with their BlackBerrys. Which is fitting, since we doubt they still sleep with each other.

• BTW, they totally still sleep with each other. (P.S.: We just threw up a little in our mouths.)

• Matt Damon still listens to his mom, who warns against violence in videogames. Could he be any cuter?

• Tom Cruise is suddenly realizing that improving his image by playing a Nazi might not pay off. Go figure.

• Jessica Simpson was hospitalized for a minor kidney infection and is now recuperating...with the world watching. If she so much as hiccups, we'll bring you the breaking news.

• Amy Winehouse is said to be moving to her third house in less than four months, claiming to be running from “demons” who keep showing up to her home. Weird how all her heroin dealers are named “Demon.” Must be like “Smith” here.

• Two radio DJs you’ve never heard of are the latest in a long line of people to hate on Dane Cook, saying he’s not funny. Cook was going to respond, but he was too busy being successful, handsome and rich.

• The Sex and the City women are apparently fighting over who gets to donate the most money to ailing children orphaned by the genocide in Darfur wear the prettiest dresses.

• Brangelina have rented a house in Texas. It has a real WWF ring! A large pool! An enormous master bedroom! And a custom-made 9-foot wide bed!

• Meanwhile, Jen started her own production company. (Cough.) That’s nice, too.

• Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were (gasp!) married on Saturday in a secret ceremony in the French Quarter…

• Except that they weren’t.

• Safe-sex advocates welcome news that Johnny Depp has been offered $10 million to shill Trojan condoms, saying, “We’d welcome seeing a major Hollywood star helping to promote the cause. And there’s no one bigger than Johnny.” Guess he’ll rep the Magnum line.

• Heath Ledger’s estranged uncles are at it again. One claims the late actor fathered a love child when he was 17, furthering the rift between family members—and making it clear to us why the guy might choose to live a million miles from home.

• Gwen Stefani blogs that she’s excited to be recording No Doubt's new album “with the boys.” Seeing how “the boys” haven’t had a good gig since 2003, we’re guessing they’re pretty excited too.

• Madonna tells Yo on E! that the media needs to back off Britney Spears. "They need to step off," she says, with the little voice in her head silently adding, "and pay more attention to me."

• MTV is reportedly considering turning The Hills into a movie. We would rather they turn it into compost, but nobody listens to us.

• Jennifer Aniston was spotted at a restaurant sitting with Orlando Bloom, which proves that they are totally doing it. (And by “doing it,” we mean, of course, having dinner.)

• Blake Fielder-Civil is threatening to divorce the lumpy-faced Amy Winehouse. Seems she’s always late visiting her Blake Incarcerated—and was so tardy for a recent visit, she was turned away at the jailhouse gates. Forget rehab, get this girl to a Tourneau shop.

• Madonna says she didn’t give Justin Timberlake a B-12 shot just so he would drop trou: "Listen, I don't need to give him a shot to see his butt." So...um, what do you need to do to see his butt? We’re just asking, you know, for a friend...

• Jessica Simpson's mother is fanning rumors that Jess and Tony Romo secretly wed. For her part, Jess says, “Well I guess if my mom said it, it must be true!" That’s not her being coy. She really isn’t sure.
