Celebrity Scoops…updated 8.2.12

The paychecks were great, Steven Tyler told Rolling Stone magazine of his “American Idol” gig as a judge, but it wasn’t his “cup of tea.” He said he enjoyed sitting next to Jennifer Lopez, but was leaving to redirect his energy into Aerosmith. He also noted it was a great way to pass the time while he and his bandmates ironed out their behind-the-scenes conflicts. Must be nice to rake in millions while passing time! He gets a bonus point for being honest though.

Speaking of Jennifer Lopez…she and her beau Casper Smart are livid over reports he was caught in a “gay sex club” and exotic massage parlor. TMZ reports their legal eagles have fired off letters to Star Magazine and In Touch warning that the “reports” are “false, malicious and defamatory” and will incite “immense damage” to their reputations and careers. The stories included photos of him outside a XXX peep show in NYC last month and says the spot is a “well-known cruising spot for gay men looking for instant hookups.” The lawyers are demanding full retractions or else a lawsuit will follow.

After reports surfaced that he moved out of the home he shared with Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson has been lying low. The “Twilight” star is said to be staying with Reese Witherspoon and is “a total mess…He’s questioning everything,” an insider tells Us Weekly. Meanwhile, Stewart is “dying to save the relationship” and is texting and calling him frequently.

Remember sweet, innocent MaCaulay Culkin? Well the National Enquirer is reporting that the once adorable “Home Alone” star now has a $6,000-a-month drug habit, regularly shooting up heroin and the addictive painkiller oxycodone. His spokesperson slammed the claims as “ridiculously fictitious” and “insulting.” He’s 31, but looks like he’s far older, and the Enquirer says his use of drugs intensified over the last 18 months on the heels of his split from long-term girlfriend Mila Kunis.

So where is Mila Kunis now? She’s with Ashton Kutcher…in Bali! The two are escaping from Hollywood and spending together time at a five-star resort on the island, reports the NY Post. Sounds fab, but not with him. Sorry but he’s overrated!

Have a sensational Thursday!
