Fallout from the death of Osama bin Laden has dominated news today. Not surprising, as he was one of Earth’s most famous people (for better or worse).

Despite hundreds of news reports and President Obama’s address, some people have still expressed doubt that the Al Qaeda leader is actually deceased.

There are also many other questions and angles to this story.

Does this change your opinion of Obama? Is it okay to cheer a man dying, no matter how awful he was? Is everyone at Fox News and its affiliates a moron?

You know what that means, readers: It’s poll time! Vote below:

Is Osama bin Laden really dead?

These New York newspaper headlines are  …

Does bin Laden’s demise improve your opinion of Obama?

Think this headline mixup was intentional?

“I don’t know why but my bathing suit reminds me of fruity pebbles. ” she wrote.

Jordin, who used to model plus-size clothing, has lost about 30 pounds with the help of a personal trainer.

“Any time I find time – or I’m not sleeping – he’s like, ‘Let’s work out, let’s do something,’” she told Hollywood Life. “I’m like, ‘no,’ but he gets my butt up and I’ve got to do it. It’s fun to do that.”

Here she is in 2009:

T.I. may be a convicted felon who blew a second chance with a probation-violating arrest that nixed his early release, but the man is nothing if not inspirational.

He’s effing tired of jail, but it sounds like he’s hanging in there. The release of his new album, No Mercy, which he finished before his 11-month sentence, helps.

“So here it is. NO MERCY, the most honest and intimate installment of my life story as promised,” T.I. posted on his official site, which he somehow can update.

Says the embattled rapper: “Hope ya’ll enjoy it and it lives up to the very high standards I’ve set for myself or anyone who’s considered to be one of the best.”

Humble as always. The self-adulation continues:

“I must admit it takes a lot to go through as much as I have and still keep the love in your heart and in your art. But at the end of the day, if that’s what it takes to produce the music to keep the world of hip-hop evolving on its axis.”

“Even the lowest of the lows of my life was all worth it.”

“Thanks again for your prayers, your time, and attention. And remember… it doesn’t matter how long it’ll be before the next time you see me. What matters is I’ll be a better man before that time comes. The longer I sit, the smarter I get.”

“I’d like to give a very special thank you to the fans who’ve been writing me and lifting my spirits. I read all of them. I would never be able to write you all back, but I’d like to list as many of you individually as I can and thank the others collectively.”

T.I. ends noting he does not consider himself “done” and is staying positive. He wants to be a “father to his kids,” a “husband to his wife” and “son to his mother.”

Before his Nov. 1 surrender, T.I. not only completed the album, but he also shot a music video featuring Chris Brown for the album’s second single, “Get Back Up.”

Sounds like his mantra for life – and what he told that suicidal guy.

Here’s a piece of news more shocking than any CSI spoilers: Laurence Fishburne’s teenage daughter is about to launch her career … with a sex tape.

Montana Fishburne, who “works” under the name Chippy D, is starring in a sex tape for skin kingpins Vivid Entertainment. You can learn more here.

The film is being released this month.

Montana talked briefly about her new gig last week, saying, “The first time is really nerve racking … but, I have a lot of at-home experience.” Nice?

Why would Montana Fishburne go this route at the tender age of 19? Well, she’s seen the success of Kim Kardashian and what a sex tape did for her.

Seriously.

No word on how Laurence Fishburne feels about this.

“I’ve watched how successful Kim Kardashian became and I think a lot of it was due to the release of her sex tape,” the youngster said in a statement.

Now that’s the kind of person and career to which any teenager should aspire. Just hope Ray J doesn’t make a cameo in Montana’s on-screen debut.

Miles Austin, step off. Your celebrity girlfriend has some competition.

Dallas Cowboys teammate Tony Romo, who has already dated Carrie Underwood and Jessica Simpson, is now dating former Miss Missouri Candice Crawford.

The sister of Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford happens to be Dallas sports reporter now. Conflict of interest much? Bet he gives her some real exclusives …

… if you know what we’re talking about!

Anyway, Candice was one of two special spectators this past Sunday at the Cowboys’ practice: Kim Kardashian, Miles Austin’s girlfriend, was also on hand.

Both watched practice from a private suite. Can the ‘Boys succeed amid this media circus? Will Dallas fans throw Candice under the bus if they suck? Will the famed Kardashian title-delivering string of good luck continue? Time will tell.

The more important question is …

Who’s hotter?

Chelsea Clinton, who Americans first got to know nearly two decades ago as the young daughter of President Bill Clinton, is now a married woman.

The lucky man is longtime boyfriend Marc Mezvinsky.

Wearing a dress by Vera Wang (a family friend who was present), the former First Daughter, 30, wed the investment banker, 32, in Rhinebeck, N.Y.

An interfaith ceremony for Chelsea, who is Methodist, and Marc, who is Jewish, was conducted by Rabbi James Ponet and the Rev. William Shillady.

Saturday’s wedding was attended by 400 friends and family members, most notably Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton (wearing Oscar de la Renta).

The former President and current Secretary of State released a statement: “Today, we watched with great pride and overwhelming emotion as Chelsea and Marc wed in a beautiful ceremony at Astor Courts, surrounded by family and close friends.”

Presenting Mr. and Mrs. Marc Mezvinsky!

“We could not have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate the beginning of their life together, and we are so happy to welcome Marc into our family.”

“On behalf of the newlyweds, we want to give special thanks to the people of Rhinebeck for welcoming us and to everyone for their well-wishes on this special day.”

The guest list did not include Oprah Winfrey or President Obama, who joked on The View about his snub, but did feature Ted Danson, Mary Steenburgen, Madeleine Albright, and a handful of congressmen and other prominent Democrats.

Rhinebeck, a beautiful, small town in upstate N.Y., was swarmed all week by paparazzi and national media trying to catch a glimpse of the festivities.

Everybody understandably wanted to see how the teenager who grew up in the White House blossomed into a blushing bride – and with good reason.

Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky live in New York City and have dated since 2005, although they have been friends since they were teenagers.

They seem so happy together, as are we for them. Congratulations to the couple! Click to enlarge more Chelsea Clinton wedding photos below!

It looks like the second engagement of Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston is off, but that the rumor of him knocking up his ex-girlfriend is not the reason.

His flirting with another ex-girlfriend is!

Bristol, 19, called off engagement #2 to Levi, 20, last week following a huge fight over one of his ex-girlfriends – and we don’t mean Lanesia Garcia.

Garcia was outed as Levi’s possible second baby mama this week, but new reports say that the Playgirl model is not the father of her unborn child.

Luckily for our boy, he wasn’t the one among the “three potential fathers” to have impregnated Lanesia during the probable week of conception.

But Bristol Palin still has beef with him – and Briana Plum.

Levi Johnston apparently got naked a lot in between his two engagements to Bristol Palin, and we’re not even talking about his Playgirl photo shoot for once.

“Lanesia and Levi have dated off and on over the past few years but he’s not the father of that baby,” says a source to E! Online. “Lanesia’s other ex-boyfriend is the father. She’s not the reason that [Bristol and Levi] broke it off.”

That would be Levi’s other ex, Briana: “There was an interview with her and Bristol wasn’t happy about things she said. There was also some picture on Facebook of him and Briana and Bristol just said, ‘Let’s hold off on the engagement.’”

Neither Palin nor Johnston have confirmed this, but the parents of 19-month-old Tripp just got engaged again a few weeks ago, landing them on the cover of Us Weekly amid rumors of shopping a reality show featuring their young family.

Guess even a huge paycheck can’t keep some fake relationships intact.

Can Bristol and Levi still make it work?

Ever since the first reports of Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt splitting up, Hills fans understandably assumed wondered if it was another big PR hoax.

Looks like it isn’t.

Almost two months after the plastic princess went to court seeking legal separation from the puppet master, the reality star has filed for divorce.

Heidi Montag cites the usual “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the pair’s split in a divorce petition filed in Santa Monica, Calif., Court.

“Heidi has amended her petition for separation and has filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Spencer Pratt,” attorney Jodeane Farrell said. The couple has agreed they would like their divorce to be finalized in a timely manner.”

Hopefully Spencer Pratt finds comfort in his beloved crystals.

Adding that terms will be hashed out in an out of court settlement, Farrell said “both parties are amicable with each other and finalizing the divorce.”

The couple staged a sham wedding in Cabo in 2008, then tied the knot for real in April 2009 at a church in Pasadena, Calif., appearing happy.

Things went downhill fast, however.

Heidi Montag underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day, fired Spencer as her manager, released terrible music, accused The Hills creator Adam DiVello of sexual harassment and became estranged from her family and so on.

For his part, Spencer Pratt has grown increasingly eccentric, and even admitted to being a fame whore and choosing his “career” over his wife.

Heidi Montag then and now. Enough said.

He echoed that sentiment yesterday to People.

“I love Heidi but our marriage was a show – it was part of The Hills world,” Pratt said after the divorce filing. “That world is on a sound stage.”

Referring to himself in the third-person, he adds: “It’s clear that reality TV-fame-loving Spencer Pratt does not fit with my ex-wife Heidi Montag’s ambitions for a motion picture actor/pop star career and being a single sex symbol for the world.”

“Some say if you can’t handle the heat get out of the kitchen, Well, Heidi couldn’t handle King Spencer’s fame so she got out of the marriage.”

Right. So basically, his stardom is just too enormous. Makes sense.

Former Vice President Al Gore may have lost the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush, and may be unable to defeat climate change all by himself.

But at least he thwarted Molly Hagerty.

Gore was cleared of a massage therapist’s sexual abuse allegations due to “lack of credible evidence” in the case, Portland, Ore., prosecutors said Friday.

The Multnomah County D.A.’s office decided that a “sustainable criminal case does not exist” after re-examining sexual assault claims by Molly Hagerty.

The masseuse said Gore made “unwanted sexual contact” with her during a massage at his hotel in 2006. The National Enquirer recently broke the story.

Later, two new accusers made similar claims.

DO NOT MESS WITH AL GORE.

Prosecutors declined to pursue the case against Al Gore after interviewing witnesses who were at the hotel and since Hagerty failed a polygraph test.

The D.A.’s office also said that “forensic testing” disputed her accusations. It’s not clear what types of tests were conducted and on what evidence.

We’re guessing the supposedly soiled pants of his … Gross.

“Mr. Gore unequivocally and emphatically denied this accusation when he first learned of its existence three years ago,” spokeswoman Kalee Kreider said.

“He respects and appreciates the thorough and professional work of the Portland authorities and is pleased that this matter has now been resolved.”

Authorities reportedly questioned Gore personally last week.

We know you’ll be shocked to hear this, but Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi was arrested in Seaside Heights, N.J., after an epic bender.

Disheveled in a garish miniskirt that left disgustingly little to the imagination, she was hauled off in cuffs wearing a T-shirt reading “SLUT.” Nice.

“Nicole Polizzi was acting in a disorderly manner while located on the beach,” Seaside Heights Police Chief Thomas Boyd told the N.Y. Daily News.

She was later released with a summons and when Snooki emerged from the station about 7:30 p.m., she was greeted by 100 screaming fans.

She was accompanied by fellow cast members Jenni (JWoww) Farley, Pauly D, Vinny Guadagnino and their newest housemate, Deena Nicole.

A bartender at Aztec Ocean Resort told The News Snooki was there and consumed “three shots of Patron Tequila and a Long Island Iced Tea.”

“She didn’t tip!” said the barman, who would not give his name.

A bartender at EJ’s Ocean Lounge next door said Snooki and friends were there around lunchtime and “were plastered when they walked in.”

“I saw her by the beach, falling around, wobbling. No one could control her. She was so drunk. Too drunk,” said witness Kwame Achampong.

Several celebrity gossip websites said Snooki went out drinking Thursday and didn’t stop until she passed out on the beach Friday afternoon.

“She was passed out face down in the sand,” a source told E! Online. “She couldn’t even stand up. She was on her knees and kept falling.”

The Season 2 premiere of Jersey Shore, set in Miami, aired Thursday night. The cast is now back in the Garden State filming Season 3.
