Baby Knowles?

Beyonce’s father, Mathew Knowles will be heading to court for a paternity suit that was filed against him. He was accused of having an 18-month affair with Alexsandra Wright who claims that her newborn baby Nixon is his. Mathew has not paid child support nor has he taken a DNA test. His lawyer told the press, “We are not aware of the birth of a child” and he was confident that this is simply a rumor. I’m sure we’ll find out soon.
Phillips Family Crisis

Chyna Phillips has checked herself into a rehab facility and is undergoing therapy for anxiety. It has just been a few months since her sister Mackenzie Phillips told the public she was raped by her father John Phillips of the Mamas & Papas. The two were often high on drugs and when she was 19, on the night before her wedding, John had his way with Mackenzie while she was in a drug stupor. Apparently this was the beginning of an incestuous affair that would go on for ten years. Chyna supported Mackenzie her but their mother and ex-stepmother do not believe that Papa John did such a thing. This situation coupled with the fact that Wilson Phillips is not making any money right now could be huge stressors for Chyna. I don’t think a financial struggle is in her future since she’s married to William Baldwin. Mackenzie supports her sister and told In Touch Weekly, “I love my sister so much. She was there for me, and I am here for her…She is so very strong and funny. She is going to be just fine, I know it.”
Mr. And Mrs. Leonardo DiCaprio?

Not yet. Leonardo and his girlfriend Bar Rafaeli were spotted at the Berlin Film Festival where Bar was rocking a new diamond ring on her left hand. A German newspaper claimed that Leo got down on one knee in the hotel to propose to Bar on Valentine’s Day. Rumors spread that the two were engaged but a source close to Leo told the press that the couple is not planning to tie the knot any time soon. Leo’s mom has supposedly been pleading for him to propose to Bar who is ready for a commitment. The couple split last summer because Leo wasn’t ready to settle down. It looks like mom and girlfriend are not getting their wish just yet.
Kristen Stewart a Prostitute?

It looks like Stewart put her girlish charm on the backburner to play the role of a prostitute in the film Welcome to the Rileys. The movie also stars James Gandolfini, a.k.a. Tony Soprano, and is currently showing at the Berlin Film Festival. It is slated for release to U.S. theaters this fall. The film was shot in 2008 before the Twilight Saga hit the big screen. Director Jake Scott told the press how lucky he feels that he had the chance to grab Stewart before she became as famous as she is now. Stewart is a prostitute who is rescued by Gandolfini and his wife. The couple was grieving from the loss of their own daughter and find peace when they are able to help the young woman.
