CELEBRITY TWEETS

Clipped from: www.tmz.com (share this clip)

Katherine Heigl had a run-in with her neighbor that required a little police assistance. Heigl and her husband Josh Kelly were apparently relaxing and making out in their hot tub Wednesday night when her neighbor, as she puts it, started "screaming at us to go inside." Feeling like she was being harassed, Heigl had her security team call police. When police showed up at her door, she was still in her bikini and cameras were rolling. She says the whole thing is ridiculous: "... we were totally hanging out, like just making out in the hot tub. It was totally PG, we're not idiots. We're not gonna be out there doing anything scandalous." Check out the photos here and the video here

There is no truth to the rumor that Celine Dion will have a C-section to deliver her twins on Oct. 22nd. "There's nothing scheduled," according to her husband. He told People.com her doctors want her pregnancy to go as long as possible, at least until early November. source

Eva Longoria got waxed. The actress has her own wax lookalike at Madame Tussauds and the big reveal took place at Eva's Eve Nightclub at CityCenter in Vegas. Check 'em out side-by-side here: go! Which one do you suppose her hubby would rather take home?

Two power-divas sit down for a chat. Barbara Walters will grill Oprah on December 9th about her final talk-show season and her new Oprah Winfrey Network. source

Speaking of Babs, Walters gave her 'View' colleagues a tongue lashing after Whoopi and Joy Behar stormed off the set during an interview with Bill O'Reilly. What got 'em all hot? O'Reilly said the President's approval ratings began falling after his remarks about the proposed mosque near Ground Zero. After Whoopi and Joy left, Barbara said "I love my colleagues, but that should not have happened." Watch it here go!

"Listen and you'll learn something" Classic.

Christina Aguilera isn't messing around -- she's already filed for divorce from hubby Jordan Bratman, just days after announcing their separation. The two have been married 5-years and have a 2-year old son, Max. source

The press is dubious over the story that rapper T.I. helped prevent a man from jumping to his death from the top of a building. Police say T.I. appeared out of nowhere to talk the man down. USA Today points out that this comes a day before he's supposed to appear in court on charges he violated his probation after being arrested on drug charges earlier this month. Was this all a set up? read on

Coal miners are all the rage, which is why Spike TV and reality producer Thom Beers announced a new show devoted to coal mining. The show, simply called "Coal," will explore the business through the eyes of a couple mine owners in Westchester, W.VA. Look for it in April. Thom Beers, by the way, is the same guy that brought us "Deadliest Catch" and "Ice Road Truckers." source

Flicks opening today include "Jackass 3-D" starring Johnny Knoxville and the gang (Rated R), "Red" starring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Morgan Freeman and Richard Dreyfuss (Action/comedy Rated PG-13), and "Conviction" starring Hilary Swank (drama Rated R)

WHO SAID IT?

"I said 'What would happen if I ran into that field and just took a pumpkin?' I'm not going to do it, obviously, but there's a piece of me that's desperate to find out what would happen if I ran in and grabbed a pumpkin."

-Kelly Ripa on Regis and Kelly Watch

JOKE OF THE DAY

A businessman dragged himself home and barely made it to his chair before he dropped exhausted.

His sympathetic wife was right there with a tall cool drink and a comforting word. "My, you look tired," she said. "You must have had a hard day today. What happened to make you so exhausted?"

"It was terrible," her husband said. "The computer broke down and all of us had to do our own thinking."

The captain of a Qatar Airways flight died in midair from an apparent heart attack. The co-pilot safely landed the plane. The passengers knew something was wrong when the co-pilot illuminated the "Fasten Seat Belt" sign, followed by the "Hang on, Pilot is Dead" sign. go
Look for the Apple iPad to be sold at your local Verizon store later this month. The companies made the official announcement yesterday, but with a big downside -- Verizon won't sell the 3G version. Instead it'll only offer the Wi-Fi version with the option of bundling it with a "MiFi" gadget. Sounds like Verizon's only getting to first base with Apple on their first date go
