Beleaguered celebuspawn Charlie Sheen: Everything he touches these days seems to turn to tabloid gold.
Allegations surfaced earlier today that the actor was allegedly cheating on his wife Brooke Mueller with a lingerie model.
No prizes for guessing which prolific publication cornered the market on that little gossip nugget. Yep,
In Touch magazine. The very same scandal sheet which dished the dirt on love rat Jesse James' alleged carnal shenanigans.
The story goes that Sheen, currently nursing his neurosis at a Californian rehabilitation clinic, was snapped leaving the facility (in disguise) for an alleged tryst with knicker lady Angelina Tracy.
Word is Tracy doesn't just make a living in her underwear, In Touch claims she's also an escort. And she's not cheap. US$3,000-an-hour, apparently.
One of Tracy's neighbours claims to have spotted Sheen skulking out of his alleged mistress' apartment on several occasions, wearing a fake Magnum P.I.-style moustache, hooded sweatshirt and shades.
Honing in on an alleged encounter last week, the mole tells the mag she saw Sheen in the oddball disguise.
"He ran down to his car," said the snitch.
"It seemed like he wanted to leave as quickly as possible."
Followed by another supposed witnessed "encounter", when "Charlie had a bouquet of flowers waiting for her, and her face lit up when he handed them to her. You could see them kissing on the lips".
But wait. There's a perfectly reasonable explanation for all of this. Even the dodgy 'tache.
Sheen's publicist Stan Rosenfield says it's all been a big joke - on us and, specifically, the paparazzi.
The actor was merely on a mission to help out a mate.
"The woman in question is the sister of one of Sheen's campmates," Rosenfield says.
"Since Sheen knew he was being followed and how this would look, he wore the moustache in a tongue-in-cheek disguise gesture."
That's nice. But are we buying that explanation?
Oh, the scandal indeed.
No Jolie joy
We're on a roll with the denials today.
Despite what you may have heard at the water cooler, Angelina Jolie is not pregnant.
Star magazine's naughty 'bun in the oven' rumour claiming she is three-months gone and "can't stand for long periods of time", has been vehemently denied by snitches close to her.
Whitney woes
Whitney Houston's tainted love tour continues apace.
The diva debuted her show in Birmingham, UK, last night, and it went down like a lead balloon.
There are reports of disgruntled fans booing the comeback contender, as she appeared distracted during songs, sounded breathless, and left the stage for a 15-minute interval.
As one critic put it, "It was not the performance fans were hoping for."
Quite... if the video below is anything to go by:
Cameron Diaz is dating someone...
But it's NOT who you think.
