Jon Gosselin, Kids' Clothing Designer Extraordinaire
All play, no work makes Jon Gosselin a dull boy.
The newly single 32-year-old Jon & Kate Plus 8 star may be in St.-Tropez with his 22-year-old gal-pal, Hailey Glassman, but that doesn't mean the trip is all fun and games.
Well, maybe it does.
The happy, hand-holding couple was spotted Saturday spending time aboard Ed Hardy designer Christian Audigier's yacht and, while much has been speculated about the reality patriarch working for the Frenchman, only E! News knows exactly what they've been discussing...
Real Housewife of New Jersey's Real Book, Real Crimes
If you're looking to get your hands on that book made famous by The Real Housewives of New Jersey's vixen Danielle Staub, you'd better be willing to shell out some serious dough.
The out-of-print tome, Cop Without a Badge: The Extraordinary Undercover Life of Kevin Maher, is now selling for upwards of $760!
"Danielle's become a star," author Charles Kipps tells E! News exclusively. "People seem not to be able to get enough. It's really been a real frenzy."
The Bravo series' star is included in the book under her former name, Beverly Ann Merrill. The story is about police informant Kevin Maher, Staub's ex-husband, and details her involvement in a kidnapping and extortion plot.
Speidi Week Continues With Shocking Playboy Promises
With the wedding, the singing and the swine-flu-mask pics, you probably think the media-sucking Speidi couldn't be more overexposed.
Think again.
A source close to the negotiations tells E! News that, not only is Heidi Montag going to bare her body & soul for Playboy, but she'll be the July/August cover girl.
Sadly, Mrs. Spencer Pratt's R-rated areas, including her Hills, will be kept under wraps. Although she will be scantily clad, she will be covering the "necessary parts," the insiders says.
In case you're among the five people who pick up the lad mag "for the articles," the reality-television duo will score a feature story as well.
A rep for Playboy tells E! News, "We're not commenting." Speidi's rep, Rick Rhodes, declined to comment as well.

Chad Lowe and Ladylove Expecting
Hilary Swank may have two Oscars, but ex-husband Chad Lowe is about to receive a little man (or woman) of his own.
The 41-year-old Life Goes On actor is expecting his first child with girlfriend Kim Painter. The baby is due in May.
"I am thrilled for them," the mom-to-be's father, Jack Painter, tells E! News. He admits his daughter has shared with him the baby's sex, "but you're not going to find out unless she tells you."
Lowe and Painter began dating in January 2006, one year after he and Swank announced their separation.
Hayden Panettiere's Papa Cops Plea in Battery Case
Hayden Panettiere's dad may not be a hero, but at least he can take the fall.
In a Beverly Hills courtroom on Tuesday, Alan Panettiere pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge for allegedly hitting wife Lesley following a party in August.
According to the D.A.'s office, Papa P received two years of probation and must pay $520 in fines. He'll also have 30 days to enroll in a yearlong domestic violence treatment program and attend counseling sessions.
The court also issued a protective order requiring that Panettiere not "use force or violence...annoy, harass or molest any person or witness involved in this case, especially Lesley Panettiere or injure her property."
Alan Panettiere is set to return to court on July 30 for a progress report.
Paris Hilton Gets a (Computer) Virus
It was bound to happen sometime.
Paris Hilton caught a virus.
Quiet your dirty minds, though. The heiress' website was hacked recently, exposing fans to a variety of dangerous viruses…computer viruses.
"Some parts of Paris Hilton's website were infected with malware, a nasty bit of viruses and spyware that can try to access your computer and get bank records and credit card numbers," Garry Scott, a spokesman for computer safety consultant ScanSafe, tells E! News.
"This is not the first time she's had these problems due to her high profile."
Britney Spears & Benji Madden: Nothing to See Here
True or false: Britney Spears and Benji Madden are totally getting it on, thanks to Pimp Daddy Spears.
According to Spears' rep, the answer is the latter.
“The claims made by In Touch are completely false,” she tells E! News. “There is not an ounce of truth to any of it.”
The tab’s claims involve Brit-Brit’s dad, Jamie Spears, and manager Larry Rudolph creating a whole Circus of potential suitors—Madden, Chace Crawford, Jesse Metcalfe and Michael Phelps among them.
Meanwhile, the Good Charlotter spent Monday evening at the D&G store opening with his ex, Paris Hilton, and they were both spotted at Christina Aguilera’s birthday party again Thursday evening.
