Celebrity Gossip: Celeb Elisabeth Hasselbeck Says, I’m No Plagiarist

She always seems to find a way to come out on top - and the recent lawsuit filed against Elisabeth Hasselbeck proves it.

The “View” host cleared the air on this morning’s show (June 24), reassuring everyone by saying, “I just want to assure you the allegations are without merit and are being handled appropriately.”

Susan Hassett, an author from Massachusetts recently filed a suit against Hasselbeck claiming she stole her idea for a book and went ahead to publish her own version, The G-Free Diet-A Gluten-Free Survival Guide.

The woman is seeking $3 million dollars from Elisabeth, but should not get her hopes up, as Hasselbeck is standing her ground.

A recent statement by Ms. Hasselbeck said that she “worked diligently and tirelessly on her book and is disappointed in this attempt to discredit her work and her ability to bring this important message to the public.”

LeAnn told press, “You know what, I’m a classy woman, I’m never ever going to battle anything out in the press. I have respect for everyone that is involved and everyone’s family, including my own. I would never want to hurt my husband or anyone else with more lies dragged out in the press.”

After hearing such accusations, it is now being reported that “The What I Cannot Change” singer is putting her spokesperson to work who is now claiming, “These comments are incredibly defamatory. While there are always two sides to every story, LeAnn continues to remain above the fray and chooses not to play this out in the press.”

Celebrity Gossip: Is Mel Gibson’s New Lady is Making Demands?

They’ve been in the news quite a bit as of late, and now the tabloids are telling that Mel Gibson’s pregnant girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, is publicly making some demands.

A source close to the couple recently told the National Enquirer that the mom-to-be wants the “Lethal Weapon” star to check into rehab and fix his alcohol addiction problem once and for all.

The insider says, “Mel’s got a hair-trigger temper when he’s drunk, and Oksana insists she won’t stick around when he’s like that. She’s informed Mel that if he doesn’t go to rehab, she’ll bow out of the picture before they go any further.”

Adding fuel to the tabloid fire, a Gibson family friend revealed, “Oksana thinks Mel will be less likely to cheat on her if he’s not out drinking.”

Hollywood Crime News: Jon and Kate Gosselin are Under Investigation

As if they don’t have enough drama, the Gosselin family is now facing possible issues with labor laws.

According to Us magazine, an investigation being conducted by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor is underway to determine if their reality TV show, “Jon & Kate Plus 8,” is violating child labor laws.

After receiving a complaint about the show, Troy Thompson of the PA Dept. of Labor says, “We’re not saying that there was or was not a violation, just that we’re conducting an investigation.”

Being on the show, however, means the kids might be exempt from standards such as how many hours they can work per day. Ellen Dannin, a law professor at Penn State Dickinson School of Law says, “It’s not like acting. They’re just going about their regular lives.”

Funny Gossip: Celeb Kara DioGuardi Feels that Adam Lambert’s a Gay

American Idol judge Kara DioGuardi doesn’t mind telling it like it is when it comes to Adam Lambert, the runner up, and his sexuality.

“I don’t think that Adam was ever in [the closet],” she told The View. “I think he was always openly out.”

Barbara Walters stirred up the conversation when she brought up if Lambert’s speculations on his sexuality could have influenced the votes. Lambert, who wears eyeliner, nail polish, tight pants and is known for his perfect rocker hair, has been photographed kissing other men.

Answering Walters’ question, DioGuardi said, “I hope not. Because we should be judging on talent and viability in the music industry, and they both had that.”

Meanwhile, Lambert has said that people who are concerned about his preferences toward a man or a woman need to “calm down.” The most important thing to him is that he is being true to himself.

“You should own who you are and what you’re about, and never make apologies for it,” he said.

Celebrity Gossip: Celeb Rihanna to Attend Chris Brown’s Hearing

After months of speculation, Rihanna will in fact be served with a subpoena to testify during a preliminary hearing for Chris Brown on June 22nd.

Earlier today, a judge denied Brown’s motion to look into who leaked the photo of the battered “Take a Bow” songstress to the media, saying it would be premature at this point in the trial.

At the June hearing, it will be determined whether or not there is enough evidence to mount a case against Brown, and with Rihanna’s testimony it will most likely move forward.

Brown has already pled not guilty to criminal and assault charges for an incident back in February where he allegedly threatened and beat up Rihanna, who was his then-girlfriend.

When pressed by Jay to divulge more details, Mel simply said, “Look. When it’s all said and done, I did a pretty good hatchet job on my marriage myself. I’m to blame. If you’re inclined to judge, put it here.”

Gibson also cleared up rumors about Oksana’s age, telling Leno that she’s almost 40 before confirming that they are set to have a child together (Mel’s eighth). He quipped, “I guess I’m Octo-Mel.”

Lucy’s father Richard Gordon told press, “We have always been immensely proud of her and her achievements. We love her so much. She was called Lucy and she has lived up to that: she has been the light of our lives, me and my wife Sue, and daughter Katie. She was a lovely, generous, unselfish person who gave her all for others and thought of others before herself ... She has been the most beautiful daughter. We are obviously devastated.”
