John Mayer: Jealous of Katy Perry and Russell Brand?

Was John Mayer jealous of Katy Perry and Russell Brand, and did that lead to the couple's second (and for the love of all things good, final) breakup?

According to reports, the singer-songwriter wasn’t happy that his now-ex was still on friendly terms with her former husband, who she split with in late 2011.
Mayer grew tired of Katy’s comparisons between him and the Brit comedian, and it created tension between them that threatened to boil over at any point.
Eventually, it just became too much.

“John and Katy together were like a volcano,” a source says. “Their relationship was incredibly volatile, stemming from the jealousy they both harbored deep inside."
“Sure, Katy was unhappy that John constantly flirted with other girls and played up his heartbreaker image, even when she was standing next to him."
“But, Katy gave it back. She knew that she could push John’s buttons by comparing his flaws to what she saw was great in Russell, which he hated!"
“Katy and Russell still talk to one another, and that irked John. He’s never been in a relationship where he wasn’t the main focus all the time and it bothered him."
During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres this week, Mayer stayed uncharacteristically tight lipped about his failed romance with the pop princess.
“It was a private relationship going in, it was private relationship during, and it’s a very private relationship still,” he said. “Coupling is a tricky thing.”
“I can understand asking the question based on some previous answers I’ve given, but I finally learned how to put the wall between one thing and another."
Well, that's a first.
So no sexual napalm comparisons apparently this time. Sad, in a way, from a celebrity gossip standpoint, but probably for the best as a human being.

Magic Johnson Speaks on Gay Son: "I Love Him So Much"

Earlier this week, Magic Johnson's son EJ (Earvin Johnson III) came out as a gay, holding the hand of his boyfriend in West Hollywood, Calif.
The Los Angeles Lakers legend expressed his full support for the 20-year old (a sentiment later echoed by Kobe Bryant) and now Magic has sat down for a lengthy interview with TMZ.

"We've known for a long time that my son EJ was gay," he said.
"We finally had to sit down and talk about it. I told him, 'Look, I'm gonna love you regardless, just let me know. Are you, or aren't you?' And finally he said, 'Yes, I am.'"

Magic said said he wanted to provide his son "with advice and guidance," while EJ was concerned over how his parents would react.
"He really wanted to make sure I was okay. He wasn't worried about his mom, he was worried about me... I love EJ so much. That's my main man. I told him, 'Nothing has changed.'"
Unfortunately, EJ and the Johnsons have suffered from considerable homophobic backlash within the African-American community.
"It bothers me that they're discriminating against anybody who's gay," Magic said. "I've been in the gay movement for a long time because of HIV and AIDS."
"I see young men who are black who couldn't come out, who couldn't tell their parents, their neighbors. So now, it's my son."
Overall, the Dodgers owner and wildly successful businessman has a simple, admirable take:
"This is the year 2013 ... we should stop discriminating against people. And that's what I'm gonna do with my son. But I'll also support others."
"This is gonna be good for a lot of black young people."

Taylor Hubbell: Who is Heather Morris' Baby Daddy?

Heather Morris is pregnant with her first child, as sources confirm the Glee star is expecting her first child later this year with Taylor Hubbell.
Which raises the question: Who is Taylor Hubbell?!?

Hubbell is...

... a University of Louisiana at Lafayette graduate who played baseball in college and moved in with Morris in early 2012.
... someone who shies away from the spotlight, but who has walked the red carpet with Morris, including just last month at the Spring Breakers premiere.
... Heather's high school sweetheart from Arizona.
... a young man Morris has wanted to wed for years.
"I want to marry him so bad," Morrison told Fitness in 2011, adding that their relationship is her number-one priority. "That's what I really care about. I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue doing it."
We wish this couple the best of luck!

Porsha Stewart: Staying "Prayerful" Through "Difficult Time"

Porsha Stewart made her first public appearance yesterday since her divorce from Kordell Stewart went public, walking the red carpet at the Bravo Upfront party in New York and trying to keep a brave face.

"This is a very difficult time for myself and my family," said The Real Housewives of Atlanta star. "I'm just trying to remain strong. That's all I can do and stay prayerful and lean on my friends and family."

Porsha and Kordell often clashed on the reality show over having children and whether or not the former would continue to work if they did.
But Stewart says she was shocked by Kordell's filing and has since sent in legal documents of her own, asking for alimony and sole use of the couple's Atlanta home.
It's early, but how is single life treatng her?
"Well, when you have strong arms and strong family around you, they cover you – that's what they're there for," Porsha told Us Weekly. "So that's who I'm leaning on. And it's really a blessing to see people, supporters and fans are standing up and just really showing me the love."

Joss Stone Murder Plot: Two Convicted of Trying to Kill Singer

Two men, Keith Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, have been found guilty of conspiring to rob and murder British pop singer Joss Stone in 2011.
Liverpool was sentenced to at least 10 years and eight months.
The sentencing of co-defendant Bradshaw was adjourned.

The pair harbored a deep hatred for the soul artist, the three-week trial at Exeter Crown Court heard, though it is far from clear why (as it often is).
They were convicted of conspiring to rob and kill Joss Stone last summer, they were then planning to dump her body in a river in her native England.

Stunningly, the pair set off from their home with a samurai sword, knives, bags and gloves crammed in their Fiat Punto, bound for Stone's address.
However, their plan to rob and kill Miss Stone - whose birth name is Jocelyn Stoker - was fraught with problems and they were arrested, thank goodness.
The guys became lost around seven miles from Stone's home and stopped to ask postman Alex Greening for directions to the property in Ashill.
They displayed a map with notes and a picture of the celebrity on it.
The pair had earlier been stopped by police at the M5 Michaelwood services in Gloucestershireafter their Punto crashed into metal railings and a digger.
Officers thought the car was too badly damaged to be driven and left.
Not the case. The maligned pair continued their journey south.
They were arrested on June 13, 2011, a few miles from Stone's home when concerned local residents - spotting their crash-damaged car - called police.
The suspicious uniformed PCs discovered Bradshaw did not have a driving license and arrested him. Their weapons and plot were soon uncovered.
Giving evidence to the court, Stone admitted that there was lax security at her home, but said she only learned of the plot against her from police.

Chris Bosh: Robbed on His Birthday!

Talk about a crappy birthday present.
Miami Heat forward Chris Bosh returned to his home around 12:30 a.m. today after an evening celebrating in South Beach... only to find the residence ransacked.

Law enforcement officials tell TMZ that a jewelry drawer was open and Bosh estimates approximately $340,000 worth of items was taken.

Because there was no forced entry, and because the culprit would seem to have known Bosh would be out partying, authorities are looking into anyone who had access to the home.
This isn't the first time this year that Bosh has faced trouble off the court.
Last month, a rumor circulated that Lil Wayne banged his wife. Seriously!

Lena Headey Broke: Game of Thrones Star Has Less Than $5 in Bank

Lena Headey of Game of Thrones fame is broke.
Or awfully close ... she has $5 in the bank. Five.

Queen Cersei may be filthy-rich on-screen, but in real life, the British star, 39, is living paycheck to paycheck as Game of Thrones Season 3 gets underway.
Lena Headey split from husband Peter Loughran last year, and the couple is in the midst of a fight over how to split a joint $46,000 tax refund from 2011.

Loughran is demanding half of the money, while Headey is asking for an emergency $6,000 advance from the communal funds to support their 2-year-old son.
The actress has "less than $5 in her bank account," reports say.
How much less? It's unclear, and pretty much irrelevant.
According to the documents, Headey would be willing to allow Loughran $6,000 as well, but wants the remaining $34,000 kept in a blocked bank account.
Unfortunately for both parties,, a judge on the case has denied both Loughran and Headey's demands, leaving the actress in dire financial straits.
As for how a successful actress on one of TV's biggest shows could have a sub-$5 net worth, we have two words for you:
