Balthazar Getty may be a philanderer, but at least he's a gainfully employed one...so he claimed at LAX yesterday, addressing reports he was sacked by "Brothers & Sisters" producers after hitting the sack with Sienna Miller.

The female Amy Winehouse is back, sorta.
It's been ages since we heard about the Babyshamble and Kate Moss ex, and guess what he's up to now -- ditching a gig. (Shocker, obviously.) NME.com reports Pete was supposed to turn up for a gig over the weekend in London, and bailed "at the 11th hour -- just before he was due on."
The no-show was blamed on an "arm injury." Doherty spent several weeks in jail earlier this year for violating his probation.

Kooky Courtney Love took to her MySpace blog to trash Robert Kardashian -- and now the whole family is hella pissed!
C. Love accused the Kardashian bro of a hate crime -- saying he attacked one of her employees and repeatedly called him a faggot. Courtney says she tried reporting the incident to cops, but they brushed her off. If she was as incoherent in person as she is online, it's not really that startling.
The Kardashian family is none-too-pleased. A rep for the fam tells us, "We are so saddened to hear that someone is blogging this insanity on Christmas Eve. Everything this apparently unstable person writes is obviously untrue and we will forward this terrible nonsense to our attorneys. Merry Christmas!"
And a Happy New Year.

There's a rumor going around Oprah's about to drop $50 mil on a mansion in DC, so she can be closer to the Obama White House.
But Oprah's peeps tell TMZ -- no truth to this at all. In fact, some DC real estate sources say there's exactly one house in the District even approaching that price -- an estate called Evermay -- and Oprah hasn't looked at it.
That said, Oprah's likely to hang inside the Beltway -- but we're guessing it'll be in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Tim McGraw isn't gunning for Tennessee Gov just yet -- he says he's got to get "a lot smarter" before he does.
"There is no truth to this," says McGraw's rep to People, about rumors that spread this weekend. "It's something he is interested in, but not for 2010. Later in life." McGraw was reportedly being groomed for a run at the Governor's office by Tennessee Dems.
He's said before, "I would want to do it just to say I did it. I think I gotta get a lot smarter between now and then!"

For Denise Richards, it's more than complicated –- it's desperate.
A "longtime pal" tells the Chicago Sun-Times Denise is very worried about what's to become of her if/when her reality show gets the axe. "She's willing to do just about anything and take any role that's not pure porn," says the pal. (What are friends for?)
Her most recent credits besides "It's Complicated" include something called "Blonde and Blonder" and an upcoming movie ... from Bollywood.

It's possibly a lil' TMI, but Oprah Winfrey says she's back to 200 lbs. and she's "mad" at herself for letting it all go to ... her waistline.
"I'm embarrassed," says O, in the new issue of her mag. "I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight ... 'How did I let this happen again?'" Apparently since slimming down to 160 in '06, she's put on 40 big ones.
And even a child can figure out what that adds up to.

Fantasia Barrino says reports she's about to lose a house are hogwash.
Reports say the "AI" winner is about to lose one of her homes in Charlotte, NC: She bought the 6-bed, 6,000-sq. ft. mansion back in 2007 for $1.3 mil (not a misprint) but couldn't keep up on payments. So the county will be auctioning off the house on January 12, 2009 unless she ponies up. She's also got another house nearby.
A relative of the singer tells the New York Post the whole thing is just a misunderstanding and she couldn't make a court hearing to address the issue, and her lawyer didn't immediately comment.

Fine. If Josh and Fergie want to lie to our face ... fine. But we're gonna call it as we see it.
The rumored-to-be-engaged couple looked like they were picking out gifts for their wedding registry at Crate and Barrel this weekend -- because they were picking up and scanning a whole bunch of items in the store.
But after the scan-fest, Josh and Fergie -- who only left with one box -- claimed they were only shopping for X-Mas gifts ... no wedding stuff. We're calling full-on B.S.
What do you think?

Everyone's still wondering why Janet Jackson bailed on most of her "comeback" tour –- the one guy who would probably know says it's not because she was PG.
Jermaine Dupri tells Hollyscoop.com his woman isn't knocked up, despite the scuttlebutt. Dupri even called out certain members of gossiping classes for spreading false rumors.
Nonetheless, Janet hasn't totally pooh-poohed the idea of bringing more spawn of Jacko into the world: "I'd love to have children. It's just up to Jermaine, what he wants to do." Do the right thing, Jermaine.

Gordon Ramsay claims he's not screwing around on his wife, and the "Hell's Kitchen" star is making sure everyone -- including his dear mum -- knows it.
Gordo went on attack during a guest appearance on a BBC cooking show yesterday, telling the crowd that the tabloid reports running rampant in the UK are "a load of bull" -- of course, his mother and family were in the audience, so what else was he going to say?
The Brit tabs have been on fire accusing him of having an affair with Sarah Symonds, who just happens to be a spokeslut for AshleyMadison.com, the cheaters' dating site.
Ramsay hadn't spoken out about the allegations until yesterday.
