Zsa Zsa Gabor in critical condition

Zsa Zsa Gabor was hospitalized in critical condition Friday and might have suffered a stroke while undergoing hip replacement surgery after a fall at her Bel-Air home, her publicist said.

John Blanchette said he spoke to Gabor's husband on Thursday and was told the 93-year-old actress "was bleeding excessively" and was not responding to surgery.

"She hasn't talked. She wasn't speaking. They were worried about that. They took her off morphine to see if that might be the cause," Blanchette said. "She's vacant."

Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, "told me that she was bleeding excessively ... and that the doctors told her that she may have suffered a stroke during the operation," Blanchette said.

Blanchette said he was not able to speak directly to Gabor's doctors and could not confirm her condition Friday.

"We're all still hopeful," he added.

Gabor, a Hungarian-born sexpot of the 1950s and 1960s, was watching her favorite television game show in bed last Saturday when she tumbled out of bed while trying to answer the telephone.

Gabor has to use a wheelchair after being partially paralyzed in a 2002 car accident. She was trying to reach her wheelchair to get out of bed but its brake wasn't on and it moved away, spilling her out of the bed, Blanchette said.

She underwent more than three hours of surgery at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center to replace her hip but may have received other injuries from the fall, Blanchette said.

"She had a bump on her head. She had a contusion on her arm. So they weren't sure what else is going on," he said.

Julianne Hough thought Ryan Seacrest_was gay before they started dating.

While trying to win over the heart of girlfriend Julianne Hough, Ryan Seacrest had to reportedly address his sexuality.

According to TMZ.com, Hough opened up about her new boyfriend while celebrating her 22nd birthday earlier this week with friends at Morton's steak house in North Carolina.

When a pal asked how the two became an item, the "Dancing with the Stars" alum reportedly said that Seacrest, 35, had been chasing after her since she was 18.

"He totally wasn't my type," she said about the well-groomed TV host, according to TMZ. "I thought he was gay."

Despite a dating history that includes actress Shana Wall and Teri Hatcher, Seacrest's sexuality has long been questioned in Hollywood. Luckily for him, Hough didn't buy into the rumors.

"After a few years, he was persistent so I went out with him on a date and I realized how much I liked him," Hough purportedly added.

Though they continue to dodge romance rumors, the under-the-radar couple has been heating up since they were first linked in April

During a recent getaway to Portofino, Italy, Hough was photographed straddling the "American Idol" host while the pair embraced in a steamy lip lock aboard a yacht.

The pair hasn't had much luck hiding their romance as they have frequently been spotted together on dinner dates, shopping trips and taking beachside strolls in Malibu.

Taylor Swift Announces New Album 'Speak Now,'

Taylor Swift will release her third studio album, "Speak Now" -- the follow-up to 2008's "Fearless" -- on Oct. 25, the country star announced Tuesday (July 20). Swift shared the news with her fans on Ustream and said the album's first single, "Mine," will be released around mid-August.

"Ever since we put out 'Fearless' I've been writing this one," said Swift, who added that "Speak Now" will consist of about 14 songs. "Through the past two years, I've been through a lot of things that I have been dying to write about and talk about. There were a lot of things that I wanted to say in the moment but couldn't, and this album is my opportunity to do that.

Swift went into detail with her fans about the making of "Speak Now," which she wrote entirely on her own. "I didn't have any co-writers, and it didn't really happen on purpose," she explained. "I'd get my best ideas at 3 am in Arkansas when I didn't have any co-writers around, so I would just finish it." Swift said the same thing happened in New York, Boston and Nashville. "It just so happened that the songs that made the cut on the album were the ones I wrote myself, so, wish me luck!" she laughed.

The 21-year-old singer/songwriter co-produced "Speak Now" with longtime collaborator Nathan Chapman, who worked with her on "Fearless" and her 2006 self-titled debut.

As for "Mine," Swift said the song is about "my tendency to run from love...Every really direct example of love that I've had in front of me has ended in goodbye and has ended in breakups and things like that. So I think I've developed this pattern of sort of running away when it comes time to fall in love. This song is sort of about finding the exception to that."

Swfit also shared some other big news with her fans -- she recently moved into her first home. "I've been constantly talking about antique shopping," she said. "I'm having such a blast with it!"

Swift's "Fearless" album has sold 5.9 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan, and was the best-selling album of 2009. Combined with her "Taylor Swift" debut as well as holiday albums and other releases, Swift has sold 11.7 million albums overall.

Rapper Ice-T arrested for driving with lapsed insurance

Ice-T got stopped by the NYPD. The famed rapper was arrested in Manhattan early Tuesday for driving with expired auto insurance, police said.The hip-hop pioneer, who stars in "Law & Order: SVU," was pulled over at the corner of W. 40th St. and 11th Ave. at 9 a.m. for not wearing a seatbelt, police said.
When cops stopped Ice-T's 2009 Cadillac sedan near the Lincoln Tunnel , they learned that his insurance had lapsed, police said.
Ice-T immediately began arguing with the cop who pulled him over, according to police sources.
"He got nasty right away, saying, 'What the f--k, why are you guys picking on me?'" the police source said.
An incredulous Ice-T kept asking, "Why are you guys stopping me for bulls--t?"
The cops found two insurance-related lapses and charged the rapper at the 10th Precinct in Chelsea, police said.
In the hours after the arrest, Ice-T, 52, whose real name is Tracy Morrow, lashed out on Twitter against the cops who collared him.
"Some punk b---h rookie cop made the arrest of his bulls--t career today arresting the Notorious Ice T for no seatbelt," the rapper wrote.
"He said 'I know who you are and I don't give a f--k!'" Ice-T tweeted. "That was right after I called him a punk b---h."
The rapper, who also complained that the arrest made national news within minutes, said he was released from the precinct in under 30 minutes. He tweeted that he and his wife, Coco, were taking their dog to the vet when they were pulled over.
His license was valid, according to a spokesman for New Jersy's Department of Motor Vehicles.
Ice-T's biggest hit was the incendiary 1992 song "Cop Killer," which glamorized murdering police officers.
He joined the Law & Order cast - in which he plays a NYPD detective - in 2000.

Lindsay Lohan's lawyer Robert Shapiro quits on eve of jail term

Lindsay Lohan was due to surrender for jail on Tuesday but her lawyer was reported to have quit the case just hours before her court appearance.
Lohan, 24, was scheduled to report to a Beverly Hills judge on Tuesday morning to be taken into custody and start a 90-day jail term for violating her probation in a 2007 drunken driving and cocaine possession case.
But lawyer Robert Shapiro, who took her case a week ago, was reported by celebrity web site TMZ.com to have quit after visiting the judge on Monday.
The Los Angeles Times said an unidentified source at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, said that Shapiro was no longer on the case as of Monday evening.
Shapiro, best known for successfully defending football player O.J. Simpson on murder charges in 1994, said last week he agreed to represent Lohan on condition that she comply with her jail sentence. He could not be reached for comment.
The "Mean Girls" actress has been staying at a sober living facility owned by Shapiro for the past week.
On Monday night she sent out a nervous Twitter message to fans. "(T)he only 'bookings' that i'm familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i'd be 'booking' into Jail... eeeks," Lohan wrote.
Lohan found fame at age 11 in a remake of Disney's "The Parent Trap," and her subsequent work in "Freaky Friday" and "Mean Girls" established her credentials as one of Hollywood's most promising actresses.
But her career has declined since 2007 when she admitted she was addicted to drugs and alcohol, yet maintained a hectic nightclubbing schedule.

Jennifer Love Hewitt's Mom Thinks Daughter's Racy New Role Is Hilarious

Jennifer Love Hewitt has struggled with her body image – but she has no problem embracing a racy new role.

The actress, who has been hitting the gym and staying in shape, stars as a prostitute in Lifetime's The Client List, which airs Monday. And while the revealing part isn't every mother's dream, Hewitt's mom has a sense of humor about it.

"She thinks it's hilarious," the Ghost Whisperer star told PEOPLE at Palazzo Las Vegas's Azure Luxury Pool over the weekend. "She was like, 'So let's review … For 15 years people have been talking about your boobs. Earlier this year, you wrote about your hoo haw in a book. Now you're playing a crack ho on TV.' She was like, 'Do you think maybe you could do an animated movie next?' "

Though she wants to honor her mother's wishes, Hewitt isn't opposed to another racy role.

"I like pushing the edge," she says. "The thing I love is that people have allowed me to push it to a certain point and then back off of it and not have to go too far. As long as they can let me do that, I'm all up for the role."

As for her body, Hewitt says "I think it's really nice when I get named, like, 50 Hottest Bodies. That kind of stuff is good, but the rest, I'm good if they never talk about it again."

Sheryl Crow set to start "International Tour"

Sheryl Crow is about to leave her bucolic spread outside Nashville and embark on an international tour to support her 100 Miles From Memphis album that's out today. But no matter how far she roams, she'll carry the home front with her this time.

 

When Crow makes that 41-date jaunt across North America, the U.K. and Europe (her first U.S. show is Aug. 12 in Gilford, N.H.) she'll be accompanied by son Wyatt, 3, whom she adopted in 2007, and 11-week-old Levi, whose adoption she announced in June. Wyatt gets his own bed on the tour bus, while Levi gets a bassinet and a crib. Crow tested the arrangement recently during five dates on the Lilith Fair tour, "and it worked out fine."

"When they're little, they're not tethered to one place," says Crow, 48, who travels with a nanny and various friends and family. "Until they're in a structured school situation, it's easy to travel. The bus is completely tricked out for kids. I go to work at 9 at night, so I put them down and go to work. During the day, we visit zoos and museums and parks, and they're surrounded by an extremely loving family."

The nine-time Grammy winner was raised with two older sisters and a younger brother in the small town of Kennett, Mo. (referenced in the album title), and she wants her sons "to grow up like I did, with the closeness of a sibling." That also includes being surrounded by a "normal" home environment — a vision reflected in the video for first single Summer Day, where Wyatt is shown briefly romping in Central Park amid kids carrying balloons, ice cream cones and flowers.

But Summer Day aside, her seventh studio album is anything but blissful and homespun (for one thing, Rolling Stone Keith Richards lends a hand). Her intent was to capture the sexy, sweaty, horn-spiked flavor of the classic soul music of her youth, woven by such heroes as Al Green, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye.

"Soul music is typically about sensuality, vulnerability and desire, so I kind of let the music guide me in the writing (of the lyrics)," says Crow, who wrote or co-wrote nine of the 12 songs. "It's an emotionally freer album" than 2008's introspective Detours, which reached No. 2 on Billboard's album chart and sold about 405,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
