WAS A LIQUORED-UP LADY GAGA BANNED FROM... THE NEW YORK YANKEES CLUBHOUSE?

Lady Gaga showed up at Friday's NY Yankees game wearing only a black bra and panties.

The rumor was... she managed to get into the team's clubhouse. And that got her banned.

Gaga was said to be banned forever from the Yankees clubhouse, under orders from the team's co-chairman after she brought along two female friends, and they went into the clubhouse without an official invite.

Gaga was swigging whiskey and "fondling her boobs" during her 30 minute meeting with the team.

Turns out, the media, which is supposed to be allowed into the clubhouse 10 minutes after the final pitch, was held out-- for Gaga.

Yesterday, New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman said, "She's not banned. Celebrities aren't banned. If Michael Jordan showed up here he would have access [to the clubhouse], but not after a loss."

He added, "That was the wrong time and the wrong place. It's been taken care of."


TIGER WOODS' SUPPOSED-BABY MAMA KEEPS YAKKING

The woman who claims Tiger Woods is the father of her 9-year-old son says Tiger has sent presents for the boy in the past.

Porn star Devon James filed a paternity action against Tiger last week. Her rep claims she told him about the kid back in August 2008.

After James got pregnant in 2000, she didn't see Woods again until 2006. The rep says she was scared to tell the golfer about the boy at that point because she thought Tiger would take her son away from her.

The rep says when they saw each other in September 2008, Tiger brought a golf club, a hat, and a bracelet that Tiger said was "for your son."

Asked if she had already been with a guy before she met De La Torre, Diaz says, "Yes! Oh my God, no - I don't want my mom to know. Actually, f**k it. I had already had sex. I had a lot of encounters that weren't 'going all the way' but were fun and made me very enthusiastic and excited about the possibilities."

"Japan was great. I had my own apartment. I met somebody I ended up hanging out with. It was amazing to be young and free and have all those experiences."

The pal says, "Bar accompanies Leo when he goes to the Lakers games or even when he watches games at his local sports bar, Goal in Hollywood. She decided that she was never going to change Leo so she decided it was just easier to start watching sports with him."

Miley Cyrus is hoping that when her album, "Can't Be Tamed", comes out this week, people will stop seeing her as Hannah Montana and more like a grown-up modern pop diva.

She said: "I'm just at a certain place where I've changed a lot as a person. I've grown up a lot, which everyone does."

As for how she wants people to see her musically, Miley said: "My 13-year-old self would have beaten up my 17-year-old self because she would be like, 'You're a sellout!' But that's not what it is. It's not dance music that's just about, 'Ooh, I'm in the club and everyone's looking at me.' It means something. I'm not just sitting here trying to sell glitz and glamour because no one lives that life. A lot of pop songs are super shallow, but this music isn't."

"With anything, the clothes I wear or the way I want to look, I don't plan it. Even with the video for 'Can't Be Tamed', I had the treatment, but beyond that, it was whatever comes. We didn't have all the choreography set in stone because I didn't want it to end up looking fake and polished. Everything in life has to come naturally or I feel like it's just been done."

DREAMIE ROB PATTINSON PREDICTS HE’S ‘GOING TO DIE AT 30’ [2010-06-15 01:00:00]

24 year-old 'Twilight' hunk Robert Pattinson once said in an interview that he worried that so many good things have happened to him at such an early age.

He says, "I guess I just thought if too many good things happen, then you're going to die at 30. I didn't want that to happen. Yeah, so probably, I'm going to die at 30. Actually, it's God saying, 'Hey, you shouldn't have asked for too much.'"

Pattinson says going from a little-known British actor to an A-list heartthrob has been "crazy."

"It's not what people tell you when people warn you of being an actor. If and when I have children, [and] they ask if they want to be actors, I'm like 'Yeah, it's great. You don't have to do anything. Everything goes right.'"

For the most part, Pattinson says he is enjoying fame "rather than looking like it's freaking you out and you want to leave."

The one downfall?

He says, "I used to spend a lot of time walking in cities by myself, and I can't really do that without being, um, a little paranoid. You get better at hiding and you get better at choosing which areas are the right areas to go to. And you also get better at interacting with strangers."

But it looks like she had a change of heart.

Katy said: "Lately, I've just been seeing some things that are kind of not something I would do, I guess. But I'm still one of Gaga's biggest fans. It's just that some people have different viewpoints."

"People say I'm a very hypocritical person, 'How do you say that and sing, 'I Kissed a Girl'? Spirituality and sexuality are two separate things. When you decide to put it into the same subject, it gets interesting for some people.

(EVEN, DURING A LOUSY ECONOMY)... CMA FEST ATTENDANCE WAS UP 16 PERCENT [2010-06-15 01:00:00]

The CMA Music Festival hit an all-time record in 2010 selling out each night at LP Field-- that's an increase of almost 17 percent.

Estimated daily attendance at the festival, which ended Sunday, climbed 16.7 percent, from 56,000 to 65,000

Average nightly attendance topped 49,000.

There was a 33.3 percent increase in the sale of 4-day ticket packages, which resulted in a decline in the sale of single night tickets. Many seats that had been originally designated for single night ticket purchase were converted to four-day ticket packages due to the high demand.

The fest also experienced its biggest crowds to date in the free areas including the Chevy Music Stage on the Bridgestone Arena Plaza and the Family, Fun, and Sports Zones along with the Music City Zone, which launched in 2009 on the Public Square at Metro Courthouse.

With musicians volunteering their time, the CMA will donate half the net proceeds from the event to music education on their behalf through a partnership with the Nashville Alliance for Public Education called "Keep the Music Playing" and the remaining half to The Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee to aid flood victims in need.

Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Kellie Pickler, Trace Adkins, Blake Shelton, and Justin Moore performed Sunday, the final day of the fest.

(WOULD YOU BELIEVE)... SPENCER PRATT STEALING MONEY FROM HEID?

[2010-06-14 01:00:00]

Word has it...

Heidi Montag has hired a Los Angeles Sheriff's Department private investigator to find out whether estranged husband Spencer Pratt has been spending cash behind her back.

The star hired the PI last Monday ... the day before she filed separation papers.

The source says (to X17online)...

"Heidi and Spencer share a bank account, and it's no secret that Spencer has been spending her money like crazy. She obviously knows that she makes way more money than he does, and he knows that, too. People think this separation is fake, but it's 100% real because she knows Spencer is ripping her off. The divorce definitely should be happening by the end of the week or by early next week, but the separation had to happen first until she gets her finances squared away."

AND... the source confirms that Heidi believes another girl has been spending time with Spencer since they've separated.

"To make it worse, Heidi has her suspicions that Spencer is secretly spending her money on another girl. Her accountant has recently notified her of some big purchases from a jewelry store. When she confronted Spencer, he said he bought himself a new watch. Heidi doesn't believe him. That's why she hired the PI, and after a week of following him, Heidi's convinced that another bitch is getting showered with gifts at Heidi's expense. She's over it."

Spencer has no idea that Heidi has hired a PI to investigate him, says our source, "but it looks like he's going to find out now."

Heidi is living with Spencer's former pal, Cougar Zank in Malibu. As for a relationship between the two, the source says "it's a possibility." Spencer and Cougar have recently had a falling out because Cougar is now "siding with Heidi."

As for where their relationship stands now, "Spencer has definitely been trying to win Heidi back."

Just last Thursday, he paid a visit to her Malibu home. "Spencer didn't actually think that Heidi would go through with filing for a separation, so he was definitely shocked.

Whether or not these two will get back together, no one is 100% sure, "but they're definitely a married couple going through problems."

Gaga retreated into the lower decks of the field because, "she felt it was unfair that she was seated right by the paparazzi. Having them take pictures of her all game would've been annoying to all the fans. That was going to ruin it for everyone."

KATY PERRY WOULDN'T LET THE LABEL TELL HER WHAT TO DO ON HER NEW ALBUM [2010-06-14 01:00:00]

Katy Perry's said that her upcoming "Teenage Dream" album isn't the follow-up to her debut, "One of the Boys". She claims it's more like a continuation.

Katy said: "I don't really feel like I'm back, I feel like I never really went away, because things were kind of continuing. I just got off tour last year, and I started the record in October!"

"In the very beginning of this album, I was telling the record executives, 'Listen, don't tell me when it's over, don't tell me when to turn it in, don't tell me when we're out of money. I'll let you know when my gut says 'Go.' Because I've always followed my intuition, and that's worked for me. I'm not going to overthink that, because it's always worked for me."

"Halfway through the record, I was telling them, 'I've got a lot of jewels, but I don't really have that crown. I really don't have that full-blown presentation.' So I wanted to finish off a couple of songs, one called 'Fireworks,' which is probably my favorite song off the record, something I'm most proud of. And then a song called 'Peacock,' which is like the world's biggest innuendo."

"Teenage Dream" drops August 24^th.

The video's director, Steven Klein. Defended the video and said: "The religious symbolism is not meant to denote anything negative, but represents the character's battle between the dark forces of this world and the spiritual salvation of the Soul."

"Thus at the end of the film, she chooses to be a nun, and the reason her mouth and eyes disappear is because she is withdrawing her senses from the world of evil and going inward towards prayer and contemplation.

SHERYL CROW TEAMING UP WITH KEITH RICHARDS AND JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE FOR HER NEW ALBUM [2010-06-10 01:00:00]

For her new album, "100 Miles From Memphis", Sheryl Crow hooked up with artists like Keith Richards and Justin Timberlake because she wanted to add a little more "soul" to her music.

She said: "The timing of it was perfect. I've always had a lot of people around me encouraging me to really get back to my roots. I was a kid that grew up listening to the radio; we'd tune the transistors to pick up the Memphis stations, and that kind of music was just a part of our consciousness. It just was a perfect time to go full-throttle with it."

Keith Richards is featured on a track called "Eye to Eye," while Timberlake does an Al Green-style version of Terence Trent D'Arby's "Sign Your Name".

Talking about Justin, Sheryl said: "I've always liked him. I played the song for him, and when it got to the chorus he's like, 'Who's doing the backgrounds?' I said 'We haven't done them yet,' and he said, 'I got it.' It was all very organic and, man, perfect. People have no idea how talented this guy is."

Another surprise is Sheryl doing a cover of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back". People may remember Sheryl was a backing singer on Michael Jackson's 1988 world tour.

She said: "We were recording an unreleased track by Marvin Gaye called 'Desperate Situation' and it was in that range so I just busted into 'I Want You Back' and the band followed, and when it was done everyone was like, 'What in the world?! We've got to put that on the album!' It's definitely an homage; the Jackson 5 was the first album I ever owned and the guy gave me my first job in the business and was incredibly generous with his talent with me."

The album drops July 20^th. Sheryl will hit the road for the summer starting on June 11th. She'll also perform at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival on June 26th and will play five Lilith Fair dates in July.
