INSELTOWN TATTLER…
Family Guy creator SETH MACFARLANE is furious at whoever edited scenes from the show to make it look like its main character detonates two bombs at the Boston Marathon. The clip begins with an animated version of Bob Costas asking Peter Griffin how he won the Boston Marathon. The clip then cuts to Peter in a diner dialing a number, followed by an explosion. He tries the number again, thinking the phone is broken and another explosion goes off. MacFarlane tweeted: “The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent.” He added, “The event was a crime and a tragedy and my thoughts are with the victims.”
BILLY RAY CYRUS sat down with ABC’s Nightline last night to promote his new book, Hillbilly Heart, and he was instead grilled about daughter MILEY CYRUS and her wedding plans or lack thereof with LIAM HEMSWORTH. Billy Ray dodged the question by saying, "They're young. They're kids. The great news is they're great friends. They're really, really good friends…And if you end up getting married, that's your business too, you know?" Finally he said that he didn’t know if they would get married or not, adding that Miley tells him, "I play it by ear, and I know whatever's meant to be, that's the way it's gonna happen." Meanwhile, video of Miley smoking a blunt at Greystone Manor in Hollywood over the weekend has leaked online. (See here)
JULIANNE HOUGH was spotted with a new man at the Coachella music festival in California last weekend. Eyewitnesses spotted her canoodling with what the tabloids are calling a hunky Australian mystery man named Tommy. This comes just a month after her split with Ryan Seacrest.
DEMI MOORE was spotted out again with restaurateur Harry Morton. There had been tabloid reports the two had something going on in the past, but their peeps have always said they’re ‘just friends.’ They arrived and left a restaurant separately, although Harry was overheard telling Demi, ‘I love you,’ before they parted. Of course, that could be ‘love’ in just a friendly sort of way.

BRADLEY COOPER may be one of the sexiest men alive, but he still lives with his mother! Cooper tells Details Magazine, "It's probably not easy for her…to be living with her son. My family is very close, and my dad dying was brutal for all of us…we need each other. So here we are. But don't get me wrong. It's not without complications. It's not like I live in a compound and she's in the guesthouse. She's in the next room. But here's the thing: She's a cool chick. We can hang, and she can roll with the punches. If that wasn't the case, there's no way."
SELENA GOMEZ was on ELLEN DEGENERES’ show yesterday and Ellen grilled Selena about her breakup with Justin Bieber. The good news is that Ellen has agreed to play matchmaker! After Selena said that nobody has asked her out since her split with Bieber, Ellen asked what she liked in a guy. Selena said she was looking for someone that can make her laugh and is great to her parents. Selena joked that she felt like she was doing her eHarmony profile, but she won’t have to resort to that as Ellen promised to fix her up. Selena also revealed that she met BRAD PITT at the MTV Movie Awards. Selena said she was in her dressing room when Brad swung by. Selena said, “I was trying to play cool and be really nice and as soon as he walked out I ran and I hid under the craft service table for like two minutes because I couldn't believe it was happening.” Selena also said of Brad, "He's so pretty."
It’s now reported that MICHELLE WILLIAMS may have split from How I Met Your Mother star JASON SEGEL because of his drinking. At the time, sources said the long distance relationship was the primary reason for the split, but Segel checked himself into Alcoholics Anonymous last month in a bid to get sober and it’s now looking like the bottle was the cause of the breakup.

Allure magazine’s "Look Better Naked" issue is coming out next week and you’ll get to see celebrities such as NAYA RIVERA and JENNIFER MORRISON without their clothing, albeit it with naughty bits strategically covered. One person you won’t be seeing is Amanda Seyfried. Word has it that she was up for it, but her publicist shot it down. (See previews here)
It turns out that MIRANDA KERR is hanging up her Victoria’s Secret underwear. However, she denies rumors that she was dropped because she was ‘difficult’ to deal with. Kerr says that after she became a mother, she realized she needed to prioritize her time, plus she has a new cosmetics line in the works and other projects that she wants to focus on.
There’s another sort-of-celebrity sex video being shopped around. This one features former BUCKWILD stars SHAE BRADLEY and JESSE J. They have what’s being called trailer park sex and it wouldn’t seem as if the video is that hot since she doesn't even take her shirt off. According to TMZ, Buckwild producers knew about the tape before they started shooting the show and told Shae and Jesse to keep it under wraps. Now that the show has gotten the ax, it’s up for grabs.
Either AMANDA BYNES is really having a meltdown, or these last few months have been a put-on and she’s really a great actress. Amanda posted a video titled I'm Sucking On A Sour Patch Kid Listening To Music Getting Ready For Tonight. That also pretty much describes the video that shows her making weird faces in front of a mirror while listening to music as she gets ready to go out. (See here)

Real Housewives of New Jersey star JACQUELINE LAURITA is being sued by a bank that says she’s seriously behind on her mortgage. The bank claims Jacqueline took out a $1.6 million mortgage back in 2007, but failed to make a $10,175 monthly mortgage payment. The bank is now asking a judge for permission to foreclose and, to make matters worse, the state of New Jersey says she still owes over $340,000 in unpaid taxes.

Officials investigating the Boston Marathon bombing say metal and ball bearings were apparently packed in a pressure cooker and then placed in a duffel bag or backpack. The FBI is asking people with videos or photos to come forward.
As the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing continues, there are some things you can do to help. The Salvation Army is providing support to survivors and first responders and you can make a financial contribution on their website. You can also donate blood. The American Red Cross website has the details. Massachusetts General Hospital and Boston Children's Hospital are also taking donations and the Boston Marathon is creating a donations page on their website.

Other books making the list included "And Tango Makes Three," a children's tale about two male penguins who adopt an egg together, and Khaled Hosseini's Afghanistan-based best-seller "The Kite Runner."
What do you do to get ready for a first date? According to a Match.com survey, nearly half the women said they research their date on Facebook before the first meeting. This despite the fact that nearly as many men surveyed said that was "completely unacceptable." Seeing as how those objections won’t discourage women from the practice, it’s advised that men delete anything from Facebook they wouldn’t want a date to see!

An unnamed woman in Girard Township, Pennsylvania, whom we’ll call Kim Kardashian, recently called 911 to have police officers sent to her home. When officers arrived, Kim stated that she wanted a divorce from her husband and for him to leave the residence. Not only did police inform Kim that it was a civil matter and that since no crime had been committed they couldn’t make her husband leave, they cited her for disorderly conduct for misuse of 911.
Laurelville, Ohio’s Mike Berkemeier returned home from visiting his daughter in the hospital and ate a piece of cake left on the counter at his home. Mark soon started feeling odd, so he drove himself to the police station where he was met by medics, who rushed him to the hospital. Mark spent the next day-and-a-half recovering from the effects of eating the cake, which had been laced with cannabis oil. It turns out the cake had been brought to Mark's home by the boyfriend of his daughter's friend, who’s really in trouble seeing as how the cake eater is Laurelville Police Chief Mark Berkemeier.
British Judge Raymond Voet has a posted policy in his courtroom stating that electronic devices causing a disturbance during court sessions will result in the owner being cited with contempt.

Army sergeant James Neal Dunn called Tampa 911 operators ten times within 30 minutes to report that his 2004 Ford SUV had been stolen. When officers finally showed up and arrested Dunn for misusing 911 they looked through his cell phone, which contained a text message that read, "truck burning, delete after received." Unfortunately, Dunn failed to carry out that part of the plan and he faces additional charges of second degree arson and was held without bail.

Like a good father, Coos Bay, Oregon’s Ronald Lee Walter was teaching his daughter how to drive. While his intentions may have been good, it might’ve been a good idea for Walter to wait until his daughter was older than 11 years old before she got behind the wheel. It may have also been a good idea not to conduct the driving lesson inside their trailer park. The lesson ended when the girl lost control of their car and stuck another parked vehicle. Walter sent his daughter back to their trailer while he left the scene without attempting to contact the vehicle’s owner. Walter and his damaged pickup were quickly located at another trailer and he was arrested for driving with a suspended license and, yes, DUI.
Two unnamed Omaha men met on Craigslist and agreed to a hookup at a local motel. After their close encounter, one of the men left while the other noticed his wallet was missing. Thinking his hookup stole his loot, our still unclothed friend ran onto the busy street and threw himself at the other man's moving car. The driver tried to push the man away through his open window, but the naked guy refused to let go and was dragged a short distance as giggling onlookers videotaped the naked guy being dragged along and receiving a nasty case of road rash. As it turned out, the man’s missing wallet was later found in the hotel room. (See here)
Tara Driscoll is a former English teacher at Law, Government and Community Service High School in Queens. She may still be a teacher there had she not sent flirtatious text messages to one boy, ordering him to her office where they had an impromptu sex education lesson. After being confronted by the boy’s girlfriend and her friends, Tara cried as she told them she was lonely and screwed up and that they could beat her up right now as she promised not to do it again. Tara was spared the pummeling, but broke her promise as she took another boy to a motel, where she videotaped their encounter. An employee at another school heard about the romps from another girl and alerted authorities and Tara was fired and sentenced to six years’ probation.
