A Massachusetts woman is suing the National Enquirer over a story claiming that she gave birth to Senator Edward Kennedy’s "love child" in 1984, and participated in a 20-year cover-up of the purported scandal. Caroline Bilodeau-Allen charges that "virtually every critical fact" in two 2006 stories is "false and defamatory," according to a lawsuit filed yesterday in U.S. District Court in Boston. She denies Enquirer claims that her son Christopher was fathered by the Democratic senator, and that the politician paid her at least $15,000 in hush money. Christopher, now 22, is also a plaintiff in the complaint, which names the tabloid’s corporate parent, American Media, and two reporters as defendants. The woman is asking for $75,000, which doesn’t seem like much. You can see the Kennedy story here and here.

The National Enquirer got a hold of two taped phone calls between Duane Chapman, aka Dog, and his son. Dog is concerned that his son is dating a black woman named Monique Shinnery. For nearly eight minutes Dog threatens to fire his son Tucker from the family bail bond business if he does not breakup with that “black girl,” Dog did also say on the tape "it’s not because she’s black." What it sounded like Dog was saying is that he doesn’t want a black girl around, because if she heard them say "nigger," which he said they use that word sometimes, the black girl would take it wrong and tell the Enquirer, and the rest of the world would misunderstand how the family used the word, and their careers would be over. Guess what? He may be right. Dog doesn’t sound racist. It sounds like he uses the word "nigger" the same way blacks do, except without the derogatory meaning.

After hearing about the tape, A&E issued the following statement:

"A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman. We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action."

A&E Suspended Production on Dog the Bounty Hunter, which means Dog might be fired, or at least indefinitely suspended.

Dog asked to have dialog with Rear End Al Sharpton regarding the tapes, and good old Al issued this response:

Reverend Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and the organization’s Decency Initiative are unequivocally against the use of the "N" word in any context. While people have the freedom to express themselves in any matter in private, when those private conversations become public, it becomes our responsibility to state, as we always have, that we condemn the use of this word as racist and derogatory. Dog the Bounty Hunter has reached out to Reverend Sharpton who is traveling to promote his March on the U.S. Justice Department on November 16th against Hate Crimes and Racial Attacks and therefore Rev. Sharpton has not had a chance to hear the audio of the remarks. However, until he does hear the audio, National Action Network maintains that is against the use of the "N" word.

Dog is now referring all phone calls to his Pastor Tim. Pastor Tim Storey, an African-American, said he spoke with Dog, who cried for 30 minutes, saying:

"I’m shocked, I’m wrong I repent. Can you believe, Tim, that I’m going to be put in the same category as Imus."

Pastor Storey, who performed Dog and Beth’s wedding ceremony, went on to say:

"I was shocked, because I don’t know that to be Duane." He went on, "I felt that he had to be accountable to what he said. When I asked him what took place, why he said it, he said that he was angry with his son about many things. The subject of his son’s girlfriend came up, and in his anger he then attacked that relationship and then therefore challenged the girl by saying she wasn’t good enough. What shocked me was that he used the N word. I know he’s not a racist. He’s been to black churches with me to help inner-city kids. I talked to Dog three times today and he apologized, saying he wasn’t angry at the girl, it was anger toward his son."

It’s not that the girl is black, it’s just that she’s not good enough to be with a Dog’s son, and because the word "nigger" has a different meaning for her than it does for Dog’s family. It appears Tucker recorded conversations with his father, and turned those tapes over to the National Enquirer, which is the ultimate betrayal. With holidays just around the corner, Tucker is going to be awfully lonely.

Riley Giles, Lindsay Lohan’s new boyfriend, denied being engaged to Breanna Tierney who is pictured above wearing an engagement ring. Riley has a criminal history that includes misrepresentation, fraud, and forgery to get more Xanax, all of which he plead guilty to, and he’s been arrested for DUI twice. Riley and Lindsay’s daddy have a lot in common. Below are the side-by-side mugshots of Riley and Lindsay. They make such a cute couple. Riley’s former fiance Breanna still wants this loser despite being dumped for Lindsay. I have no idea why, but I suspect she was kicked in the head by a mule when she was a child. Breanna took her fight for her man to the National Enquirer. Click here to read her interview. Was the diamon in her ring real or fake? Find out in her interview.

The National Enquirer reports that David Hasselhoff has been hospitalized after having a drunken relapse. The Hoff’s rep. Judy Katz issued this statement:

"David had a brief relapse and immediately recognized the importance of addressing it with the assistance of his doctors. He is doing fine and will be back home in the morning".

The children have been in ex-wife Pamela Bach’s care for the last six weeks while The Hoff has been out of the country in Romania shooting "Anaconda 3." Mediation is scheduled for Thursday, and this incident may affect custody of the children. The kids might be better off with Richard Simmons adopting them. At least he’d keep them from getting fat, and having low self esteem. Of course then they’d have to start answering questions about why they have two dads.

Vanessa Hudgens is 18 years-old and she can do what she wants, unless Disney has other ideas. TMZ confirmed the nude picture HG posted earlier today is indeed 100% REAL. Here’s more:

A naked photo of "High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens has been making the rounds on the Internet and TMZ can confirm that it’s real.

In a statement to TMZ, Hudgens’ rep says, "This was a photo which was taken privately. It is a personal matter and it is unfortunate that this has become public." The National Enquirer was the first to report of the photo’s existence, and it has since surfaced on various blogs across the net.

Hudgens, 18, is dating her "HSM" co-star, Zac Efron.

When female stars begin to age some of them debate whether to take their careers to a new level by allowing for a movie scene that includes nudity. Vanessa jumped the gun. However, she does have a whole other side we haven’t seen yet, so stay tuned…
