Clooney can have any woman he wants, but can he get two at the same time?

That’s what some news outlets are reporting, and the actor says it’s just not true.

The ladies’ man was allegedly spotted at a London nightclub recently, dancing and holding hands with Monika Jakisic–his ex–even though he’s been dating Stacy Keibler for three years. But he says that’s a big fat lie, although he has been in London to film “The Monuments Men”.

“I wasn’t holding anybody’s hand. Stop trying to sell magazines by creating scandal that isn’t there,” he said.

A source says he wasn’t concerned about hiding his affection for Jakisic, however:

“They seemed to be having a great old time together,” a source said. “He didn’t seem to care who saw them. He was being openly affectionate. Lots of people were going up and saying hi to George — he didn’t leave Monika’s side. The place was packed but he didn’t seem to care who saw them inside the club. They were laughing and looked very comfortable together and were there ‘til very late.”

Clooney and Jakisic dated in 2007.

Amanda Bynes is at it again.

After several months of odd behavior and legal troubles, the former child actress is now in a bit of a Twitter feud with model Chrissy Teigen. Teigen, who is engaged to singer John Legend, posted her opinion on Bynes’ behavior recently and Bynes was having none of it.

“The fact that Amanda Bynes has any ‘support’ to retweet is really unsettling. Support people with mental illness, yes. But don’t condone/enable scary and poor behavior,” Teigen tweeted.

Bynes promptly shot back with, “Ur not a pretty model compared to me. I signed to Ford models @ age 13. I don’t look up to u beauty wise. I’m far prettier than u! I’m offended that you’re saying I have a mental illness when I show no sign of it, but thankfully not one man that wants me wants you and you are an old ugly model compared to me! You look 45! You’re not pretty so I’m not intimidated by you! I think you’re jealous that you’re just an ugly model whos career is uninspiring! I don’t respect you! You’re no beauty queen! I’m a beauty queen!”

Teigen took the high road afterwards, tweeting, “Nope. Not going to indulge. Wish the best for her, truly.”

The young star has had a rough year, getting arrested for alleged DUIs and hit-and-runs before exhibiting odd behavior in public, such as locking herself in restaurant bathrooms and walking around naked in a gym. She was also arrested last week for smoking marijuana in the lobby of her building and then throwing a bong out the window. She claims it was a “vase”. She then showed up to court wearing a long, stringy blonde wig.

Bynes has continually repeated through public statements on social media that she is innocent and doesn’t drink or do drugs. However, the more outbursts she has, the less anyone is going to believe her.

Twin women living in Arizona suffering strokes within nine months of each other is rare enough; add to that the fact that the women are only 26 years old, and the story is just incredible.

Kathryn Tucker says she had just gone to bed one night when she felt a sudden sharp pain in the back of her head; things began to go numb on the right side and her vision started to black out. Tucker, who had a history of migraines, wondered if that could be the culprit. She went to the hospital, where doctors came to the same conclusion and sent her home.

“I was absolutely terrified,” she said. “I slept for three days straight. Then, when I woke up, my vision was horrible. Everything was distorted and one-dimensional. I could barely get around.”

Tucker immediately went to an urgent care facility for tests and was shocked when she learned she’d had a stroke. Nine months later, her twin sister Kimberly suffered the same fate, only her stroke occurred on the left side.

“Honestly, it’s rare for us to actually evaluate two sisters who’ve had strokes within months of each other,” said Dr. Joni Clark, a vascular neurologist at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. “If they had a family history, it would not be a surprise. It’s quite uncommon.”

Both twins were smokers, were on birth control, and drank excessive amounts of caffeine, although doctors say there’s no link to caffeine causing a stroke. Both women survived their ordeals, but say they’ve had to make serious lifestyle changes in order to maintain their health, including chucking the cigarettes and caffeinated drinks.

Doctors say they are seeing younger stroke patients these days due in part to a lack of exercise and a lifestyle similar to the Tucker twins’.

“The risk is increased for decades after their stroke,” said Dr. Frank-Erik de Leeuw of the Nijmegen Medical Center in the Netherlands. “So we can’t just send them back to their homes and say, ‘Well, we’ve seen you now for one or two times after your stroke — take care.’ I think that’s not possible anymore.”

Daniel Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter in the enormously successful film adaptations of the books, says that although he’s ruled out ever playing Harry again, he’d definitely play Harry’s father, James.

““No more schoolboy stuff. A cameo as Harry’s dad? That would be perfect!” he said.

Of course, Harry famously looks just like his father, so it wouldn’t exactly be a stretch. It would also fit in with Radcliffe’s desire to move away from the role that made him famous while revisiting the characters at the same time. The 23-year old actor has made a conscious effort to distance himself from Harry, taking roles on stage–such as the controversial Broadway production of Equus which required him to be nude–and in films like “The Woman In Black” and “Kill Your Darlings”, a biopic about Allen Ginsberg.

The young actor recently spoke about being a dad, which he hopes is in the cards for him in the near future.

“I definitely want to have kids,” he said. “I’ve grown up around lots of people who were having kids when I knew them, because a lot of them were a lot older than me. And I saw the wonderful change in them. I see that it gives you a sense of purpose that up till now I only really get from work. I want that. I don’t know when or [with whom] but I want it. And I’d like to get started on it before my thirties. I like the idea of being a youngish parent. So I’ve got energy to play football even though they’ll be better than me by the time they’re four.”

Kelly Rowland recently broke down during a live performance of her song “Dirty Laundry”, which talks about an abusive relationship and her feelings about former stage-sister Beyonce’s success.

Rowland wrote the song after her ex-boyfriend tried to turn her against Beyonce, whose solo career went off the charts after Destiny’s Child split up.

“Doing this song for me was so therapeutic,” Rowland said. “Honesty, like my mama always says, is always the best policy.”

The lyrics touch upon Rowland’s jealousy and subsequent guilt after Beyonce went on to become the Queen Bey, leaving her Destiny’s Child mates behind in the dust.

“Bird in a cafe/ You’d never know what I was dealing with…Went our separate ways but I was happy she was killin’ it/ Bittersweet, she was up, I was down/ No lie, I feel good for her but what do I do now?”

After the group went their own ways, Rowland tried out an acting career and appeared in films like “Freddy Vs. Jason”. Michelle Williams went on to have a successful gospel career. Both joined Beyonce onstage for the Super Bowl halftime show this year.

James Lipton has dropped quite a bombshell on us with the new Parade interview; apparently, the “Inside the Actors Studio” host was a pimp in 1950′s Paris.

“It was only a few years after the war,” Lipton said. “Paris was different then, still poor. Men couldn’t get jobs and, in the male chauvinist Paris of that time, the women couldn’t get work at all. It was perfectly respectable for them to go into le milieu [prostitution].”

The 86-year old–who has recently shown up on the new “Arrested Development” episodes on Netflix– says everything had to be done a certain way for him to stay safe. After befriending a young prostitute, she arranged for him to take a job as pimp in order to stay in Paris.

“We became great friends. When I ran out of money, I said, ‘I have to go home.’ She said, ‘No, you don’t. I’ll arrange for you.’ So she arranged for me to do it. I had to be okayed by the underworld; otherwise they would’ve found me floating in the Seine,” he said. “I represented them all, but her especially. I did a roaring business, and I was able to live for a year. The French mecs didn’t exploit women. They represented them, like agents. And they took a cut. That’s how I lived. I was going through my rites of passage, no question about it. It was a great year of my life.”

Lipton, who began acting after he spent time in the Air Force, said he originally had other career aspirations in mind.

“I was going to be a lawyer because that was as far away from my father’s lunacy that I could imagine. He was nuts. He abandoned us. I was afraid of being like that.”

Kate Upton is reportedly pretty irate over a photo of her that showed up in a recent Victoria’s Secret catalog, not only because she never gave her consent, but because the brand talked so much smack about her before she became one of the biggest models in the world.

One of the people in charge of booking VS models, Sophia Neophitou, said last year, ”We would never use Kate . . . She’s like a footballer’s wife, with the too-blond hair and that kind of face that anyone with enough money can go out and buy.”

Of course, Kate went on to be the most popular Sports Illustrated cover girl in quite a while and practically broke the internet with her YouTube video. All that fame must have been too much for VS to pass up, because they included her in the new catalog despite the fact that the photo is from two years ago.

Despite the photos and a swell of rumors, Kate isn’t contracted with the company to become an Angel.

A 24-year old man from Afghanistan recently went to doctors for help in explaining why he suffered from constant headaches, colds, and vision loss in one eye. What they found was astonishing.

The man had a 4-inch long pencil lodged in his sinuses that he never knew was there. Over the years, it damaged his eye socket and caused vision loss. He claims to have no clue how it might have gotten stuck in there, but says he took a bad fall as a child and thinks it might have happened then.

Doctors removed the pencil and the man is now recovering.

We all know the human body is capable of some crazy things–like functioning around a foreign object–but sometimes it does things that almost defy explanation. There have been documented cases of tumors growing fingernails and hair, and a similar case to the man with the pencil in 2007 when a woman underwent surgery for nosebleeds. Doctors found a 3-inch long pencil lodged in her head after a childhood accident more than 50 years prior.

“This was something unique because the trauma was so old,” said Dr. Hans Behrbohm, an ear, nose and throat specialist at Berlin’s Park-Klinik Weissensee. “She shouldn’t suffer any longer,” he said.

LeAnn Rimes has a new album–Spitfire–and it runs the emotional gamut. The 30-year old country singer addresses some of the major life events she went through while writing the songs, including the depression she experienced after having an affair with her now-husband, Eddie Cibrian.

Rimes met Cibrian on the set of “Northern Lights” while he was still married to Brandi Glanville and the two fell in love, but that didn’t mean she didn’t feel guilty about it.

“I think I opened up the can of worms for myself by writing this record. There were a lot of things I didn’t even realize I was feeling…I needed to go somewhere and really process all of that stuff. I was feeling all these crazy emotions and feeling terrible about myself and was disgusted by myself and thought I was pathetic,” she said recently. Her song “Borrowed” is about the affair.

Rimes famously went through rehab last year to “develop and maintain coping mechanisms”. The star said she was stressed and was having trouble with Glanville, as the two of them have had a public battle after the affair. Now, however, she’s feeling good about her life.

“I’m the strongest I’ve ever been,” she says. “I’m the most honest with myself that I’ve ever been, I’m the most secure I’ve ever been about myself and my family, and I’m the most confident I’ve been in a really long time.”

A man in Belarus–which is located between Russia and Poland–has died after a beaver literally bit him to death.

The man, who was on his way to a fishing trip with friends, spotted the large animal on the side of the road as they made their way towards the lake and stopped to have his picture taken with it. But when he picked it up, the beaver attacked and began biting him, eventually slicing open a large artery in his leg. The 60-year old man bled to death before his friends could get help.

“The character of the wound was totally shocking,” said the village doctor Leonty Sulim. “We had never run into anything like this before.”

Beaver attacks are not uncommon in Belarus, though the latest victim is the only person known to have died from one. Locals say the animals are growing exponentially in population–up to 80,000 in Belarus alone–and are fiercely protective of their young, which makes them vicious.

Wildlife experts say they’ve seen a rash of beaver-related incidents involving humans because the animals are moving further away from wooded areas as their numbers grow.

Below is a separate beaver attack, filmed in Russia.

“Arrested Development” has just begun its fourth season on Netflix, and while it’s getting mixed reviews, there are more than enough fans who want to see another one.

The show, which enjoyed success through three seasons on Fox several years back, just didn’t get the ratings it needed. After it was canceled, it garnered a cult following that can be described in some circles as rabid. So when Netflix announced they would be bringing it back for a 15-episode run, fans anxiously awaited the late-May start date. Some celebrated with “Bluth Parties” where guests dressed as their favorite characters.

The new season has drawn some criticism, however, mostly for the new format; instead of including all the characters in every episode, due to problems getting all the actors together at the same time the producers decided to make each episode focus on just one character. A major issue with this format is that part of what made the show work so well the first time was the Bluths playing off one another.

But that’s not to say there aren’t people loving the new season, if for no other reason than they’re enjoying seeing their favorite characters back together again. And if asked, it’s a good bet many of them would say they want another season. Ted Sarandos of Netflix says it’s possible.

“We would love to do more, and we have a deal in place that says that there could be. The problem is logistics. They (the actors) were all working full-time and doing this show in between, and they did it for the love of the show and for Mitch Hurwitz. If we can muster up that love again, we’d love to do it again. And we have talked openly about a movie scenario, too,” he said.

Hopefully the cast can work out their busy schedules and make it happen for us fans or, barring that, perhaps the movie will finally come to fruition.

The new season is up in its entirety on Netflix streaming now.

Twin giraffes were born in New Braunfels, Texas earlier this month, only the second set of their kind in the U.S.

The twins are a female, Wasswa, and a male, Nakato. They will be living at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch in Texas but will be available for the public to check out. Officials say it’s extremely rare for twin giraffes to be born and survive, which is why they waited to long to announce the births; they wanted to ensure the animals would make it. Usually, twins are stillborn.

“Both Wasswa and Nakato are thriving,” said Tiffany Soechting, an animal specialist at Natural Bridge.

Wasswa reportedly weighed 95 pounds and was 4.5 feet tall when she was born. Nakato weighed 125 pounds and was 5.5 feet tall when he was delivered.

Kasey Kahl, who was a contestant on “The Bachelorette” in 2010, was sentenced to three years of probation and community service for a felony assault charge stemming from a bar fight last January.

The 30-year old reality star pleaded no contest to the charges after he was accused of breaking a man’s nose outside a Fresno, California bar. He was also accused of hitting the man’s girlfriend. His attorney, Gerald Schwab, says Kahl could get the charges expunged from his record if he does his community service and complies with the terms of his sentence.

“He does a lot of charity work,” Schwab said, according to the Fresno Bee. “He is a good kid with a good heart, he just got himself in a bad situation.”

The fight allegedly began when Kahl approached a woman outside the bar and began talking to her, but after she told him to “stop talking to her” because she had a boyfriend, Kahl began hitting the man on the face. The woman said she jumped on Kahl to get him off her boyfriend and was hit in the process.

As if Adam Levine hadn’t alienated potential male fans enough with his stardom and abs, he’s now moved on to a Sports Illustrated model after a breakup with Victoria’s Secret model Behati Prinsloo.

Nina Agdal, who was recently named Sports Illustrated‘s “Rookie Of The Year”, has been secretly dating Levine since early spring and has been attending tapings of “The Voice” to support her man.

“Behati was in and out, but they finally ended it,” a source close to Levine said. “It wasn’t an abrupt ending.”

Agdal’s own star is rising; not only is she a SI model who’s turning heads, she was recently featured on “Inside Edition” as she went shopping for a prom dress. The 21-year old agreed to step in for SI buddy Kate Upton after a high school senior asked her to the dance and she had to turn him down due to her schedule.

A huge swarm of bees swarmed the visitor’s dugout at Kauffman Stadium on Sunday, locking out the Los Angeles Angels for about ninety minutes after the first pitch was thrown out at their game against the Kansas City Royals.

Eventually, a beekeeper was called on to corral the bees safely, and none of the players were injured. L.A. didn’t let the setback get to them; the team went on to win 5-2.

Zach Galifianakis has shaved off that famous beard, and the look he’s sporting now makes him look like a totally different guy.

The “Hangover 3″ actor has shaved his facial hair before, but the new goatee opens up his face and gives him a clean, debonair look. He also looks slimmer and says he’s quit drinking recently after an odd incident in New York.

“I’d gotten into the whiskey that night, and was listening to my headphones,” he explained. Crossing Ludlow Street, “this guy in a Jaguar cut me off. As he cut me off, I hit the car as hard as i could with my hand. I turn around, it’s two huge 6-foot-6 guys [from the Jaguar]. They both, at the same time, spit in my face!”

Maybe now that he’s changed his facial hair, he won’t be recognized by the two thugs the next time he’s in New York.

A Japanese teenager ran up a $54,000 bar tab with his buddies using his dad’s credit card, and now a judge says he doesn’t have to pay it back because the bar didn’t verify his identity.

The 16-year old had quite a night on the town with his friends, racking up charges with $3,700 bottles of champagne and several different kinds of booze. They also hit up a popular Kyoto club where they dropped money spending time with beautiful women, though the teen reportedly never paid for sex.

His father is responsible for $783.00 of the debt, but the rest is to be paid by the clubs and the credit card company.

Robert Pattinson, who famously split up with Kristen Stewart earlier this month and was seen moving himself and his dogs out of her home, was recently spotted with singer Katy Perry at a wedding rehearsal at San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California.

The odd couple were watching the event from afar and weren’t with the wedding party, according to a guest.

“Katy and Rob were just sitting next to each other watching the wedding rehearsal in the main courtyard area. They were dressed very casually. She was wearing a hoodie and big sunglasses. There was no PDA between them and no body language that showed they were dating. They just sat together and watched. They were not affiliated with the wedding party and were not seen mingling with guests.”

Pattinson and Stewart had a much-publicized breakup last year when she admitted to having an affair with her “Snow White And The Huntsman” director Rupert Sanders. The two were busted by a photographer, who caught them getting rather handsy in a car and at a park. The “Twilight” couple eventually got back together, but have been plagued by rumors of a breakup for months now.

It’s a bold move to lay your hands on any celebrity, but throw in the fact that said celebrity is Beyonce–who, let’s face it, could buy and sell us all at this point or merely have anyone she doesn’t like rubbed out with no evidence that they ever lived on this planet–and you’ve got a scandal on your hands.

Queen Bey was in the middle of a show in Copenhagen on Monday night when she reached out to slap fans’ hands in the audience and got a return smack…on the bottom. And in that cool way of hers, Beyonce said, “I will have you escorted out right now, alright?”

No word yet on whether Beyonce will be pressing charges of any kind, but it’s safe to say that this guy will get off light if that’s all she does. The superstar is the mother of Jay-Z’s child, after all.

Luckily for us, the whole thing was caught on video.

Rob Kardashian recently showed off a slimmer physique, but he says that despite losing a mess of weight, he still has a way to go.

“I still have to lose like 40 to 50 pounds believe it or not,” Kardashian said. “Six months I should be there.”

The reality star blames an unhealthy relationship with singer Rita Ora for his weight gain, saying he packed on the pounds while they were together.

“It’s crazy how this whole year, my whole relationship was only negative,” he said. “All I did was gain f–king 40 pounds and lose so much money.”

Kardashian says he’s working out regularly–although not as much as he was–and has cut back on the alcohol, which is full of empty calories.

“I’m kind of doing my own thing with Lamar [Odom]‘s trainer. He’s on salary since he was 19 years old, so he works for us. I’ve been spending time with him,” he said “I’m not really drinking out here in Vegas — I’ve been here since Wednesday and I leave Monday — that’s way too long. But I’m trying to get in a healthy direction.”
