Tyler Perry decided to reveal he was a victim of sexual, physical and emotional abuse as a child on his website after he watched a screening of his new movie “Precious”, which tells the story of a 16 year-old illiterate obese teen mom struggling to rise above horrible sexual and mental abuse.

The 40 year-old actor/director/producer says it was like his childhood memories came back to haunt him as he recounts his father’s beatings, being molested by his parents’ friends and how is grandmother gave him a bath in ammonia in an attempt to get rid of his allergies.

“It hit me so hard, I sat there in tears realizing that somehow, by the grace of God, I made it through,” writes Perry, who signed on as an executive producer on the film. “My tears were tears of joy, being thankful that I made it.”

“I know that there are a lot of people out there with stories far worse than mine but you, too, can make it. To those of you who have, welcome to life. I celebrate you,” he said. “We’re all PRECIOUS in His sight.”

Tyler, who confessed “I always thought I would die before I grew up”, ends with a message of hope for those going through some type of abuse (read Tyler’s complete confession here). The movie “Precious”, also co-executive produced by Oprah Winfrey, will hit theaters November 6th. [‘Precious’ Official Site]

‘House’ star Olivia Wilde bares all in a super sexy photo shoot for the October 2009 issue of GQ Magazine. The 25 year-old actress doesn’t want to be seen just as another cute face and hot body, in fact, she doesn’t understand why she has been labeled as a sexy vixen and named 2009’s hottest woman by Maxim Magazine (check out the NSFW GQ photos below).

Olivia has been married for 6 years (GASP!!) to Italian-American documentary filmmaker/photographer Tao Ruspoli. Here are some highlights from Olivia Wilde’s GQ interview:

On being perceived as sexy: “I’m definitely at this point now where things are shifting, they’re changing very fast. The only role I really don’t understand is this recent sort of ‘sexiest-vixen’ thing. It doesn’t feel like me, doesn’t feel natural.”

On being #1 on Maxim Magazine’s 2009 Hot 100 List: “The day they announced it, I hid in my bathtub with a big glass of wine. Anytime anyone describes you with a superlative, people are going to disagree. And I didn’t want to have to deal with those people.”

On playing a bisexual character on ‘House’: “I sort of resent people pigeonholing Thirteen as the sexy gay doctor.”

On being married for six years: “There were times when people thought it would really hurt me. People said I shouldn’t be married, or lie about being married, or I should be married to a movie star or rock star.”

Today Show host Meredith Vieira did some things early in her career that she would like to forget like, for instance, taking off her clothes while delivering news for a month. Jay Leno bared Meredith’s secret past as Naked News anchor on his show, saying “I’ve known Meredith a long time. But I did not know this!” and showing a very short clip to prove his point (watch video below).

The clip was played on The Today Show Wednesday (October 7). Al Roker didn’t lose the opportunity to joke about the situation, saying, “Who was your mentor, David Letterman?” OUCH!

UPDATE: Levi Johnston Playgirl Nude Photo Spread Sneak Peek

Levi Johnston, best known as Bristol Palin’s baby daddy, is working out hard in the gym to look his best for a nude photo shoot for an upcoming issue of Playgirl Magazine that will most probably come out before the end of the year.

The 19 year-old, whose biggest concern is whether to show “the front or the back”, is taking this seriously and even hired a personal trainer. “Team Levi is in the process of preparing for his Playgirl appearance,” his lawyer Rex Butler said “He is in the gym six days a week for the next three weeks.”

Yep, we still cannot believe someone is actually paying for Levi to take off his clothes! I’d rather see him fully clothed or just not see him at all (I bet Sarah Palin feels the same way!). It was difficult enough to see Levi shirtless while holding baby Tripp in a tacky photo shoot for GQ (photos here) or watch his Get Crackin’ commercial (watch video here).

Denise Richards peaked in the late 90′s film Wild Things for her steamy hot girl-on-girl action. Since then she has become that B-list celeb that even Charlie Sheen got tired of having on his resume.

Most people who saw her reality television show on E! some how thought even less of her and themselves after watching it. She came across as a whiny, spoiled, egocentric boob flash that left most of us feeling for her poor papa who seemed to always be nearby to clean up her messes.

The Funny or Die clip video above is a few months old, but I found it to be rather humorous, especially as it drug on for about 90 seconds too long. It is the best work we have gotten out of Richards since Wild Things.

And if you haven’t seen her in Wild Things then you should check it out. A very good film late 90′s film with Richards, Matt Dillon, and Neve Campbell.

“The Real Housewives of Orange County” star Gretchen Rossi has vowed to remain natural and not go under the knife because she feels it’s her personal responsibility as a role model (Seriously? Role model?) for young girls.

Gretchen is against any type of plastic surgery that includes breast implants. Is she trying to tell us those are natural? The reality star launched a new project “The Gretchen Project” aimed at “finding alternative ways to maintain everlasting beauty without having to go under the knife.”

“It is hard to stay strong and not go under the knife because I am surrounded by it,” the O.C. starlet said. “But ultimately I feel I have made the right choice for me and I can only hope it sets an example to young girls that you don’t have to have plastic surgery to feel beautiful and confident.”

Gretchen continues to fight her gold digger reputation, despite the fact she got engaged to a much older and wealthy man, Jeff Beitzel, who lost his battle with leukemia last year and made her a very rich woman (more details here).

“Everyone thinks that I am a gold digger! I made my own money before Jeff and make my own money now. I was a top selling real estate agent and was a very well do to and smart business woman. I am proud to say I purchased my own home, car and most of what I have today all on my own. I continue to work hard to have what I have today and will never need a man to take care of me. So technically speaking, ‘sugar mama’ might fit me better than a ‘gold digger’,” she said.

Sugar Mama was also involved in a long list of scandals after Jeff’s death, which included men, nude photos and a lot of alcohol (photos here).

Bristol Palin’s baby daddy Levi Johnston, accompanied by his bodyguard, stars in a new advertising campaign Get Crackin’ with the slogan “Now Levi Johnston does it with protection” for the Wonderful brand of pistachios (watch video below).

There is a very distasteful analogy between nuts, babies and protection and that is how low Levi will get for extra 15 seconds of fame (actually the commercial is 18 seconds too long!). The 19 year-old Dad is ready to take off his clothes for the right amount of money so this can be considered classy, right?

UPDATE: Dancing With The Stars Week 3 Results: Who Was Eliminated?

Republican congressman Tom Delay is expected to announce his retirement from the competition due to stress fractures in both of his feet on tonight’s Dancing With The Stars results show (Tuesday, October 6).

The 62 year-old contestant has been in pain since he started training with his partner Cheryl Burke and before DWTS season premiere. “They put me in Latin shoes with high heels, and my toes almost fell off the first week,” DeLay told me at the time. “So I went to a podiatrist, and I got a little problem with my feet. A cortisone shot cured me up.”

Tom, who bravely danced the samba this week (watch video below), is another victim of the Dancing With The Stars curse that has struck stars like Jewel, Nancy O’Dell and Misty May-Treanor. The question is: will Cheryl be able to get a new partner and continue on the competition?

CNN Headline News anchor Nancy Grace viciously attacked former “Jon & Kate Plus 8” star Jon Gosselin for his recent inappropriate and completely irresponsible behavior. The father-of-eight was not prepared for some straight to the point questions and not even his lawyer Mark Jay Heller was able to save him.

When Nancy asks him about the kids’ future and their emotional health, Jon starts talking about his hard childhood and that completely sets her off. “Why is this always about you?” she interrupts. “Why does it always get back to you?”

Thank you Nancy! This is exactly how you talk to self-absorbed people who are selling out their kids because they can’t get a real job! Too bad Kate Gosselin wasn’t there too!
