You can't go one week without hearing a ridiculous story involving some of your favorite celebrities. Thankfully, the Starpulse Rumor Patrol is here to sort out what's real and what's fake.

Jessica Alba Pregnant With Third Child: "Just a little over a year after giving birth to her second baby, Haven Garner, the glowing actress is confiding to friends that she's expecting ANOTHER bundle of joy," claims the National Enquirer. "She knows she’ll have her hands full chasing after three kids while balancing her acting career and running a new company, but she just can’t wait to be a mom again."...

A Michael Jackson auction raised a staggering $5 million dollars for charity - and Lady Gaga was a big spender.

Items ranging from the jacket Jackson wore on the cover of his Bad album to his famous crystal-encrusted gloves went under the hammer. The jacket sold for $250,000 and the gloves hit $100,000 a piece.

Pop star Lady Gaga was the high bidder on 55 items. She tweeted, "The 55 pieces I collected today will be archived & expertly cared for in the spirit & love of Michael Jackson, his bravery, & fans worldwide."

Some proceeds from the auction will be given to several charities, such ...

Lady Gaga is auctioning off the chance to spend a day behind-the-scenes of her North American tour to raise money for charity.

The Poker Face hit-maker will invite the lucky winner and one guest to experience 24 hours on the road with her when she takes her Born This Way Ball shows across the country next year.

The highest bidder will be granted a personal meet-and-greet session with Lady Gaga, as well as a photo opportunity backstage and a goodie bag.

They will also be able to sit in on band rehearsals, explore each department of the tour and later enjoy the evening's concert from a ...

Lindsay Lohan's performance in made-for-television movie "Liz & Dick" has been skewered by critics, but she has one supporter she can count on - her friend Lady Gaga.

The singer and actress became friends earlier this year after they partied together at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. And Gaga has demonstrated that she stands by her friends.

Critics have slammed Lohan's film, which centers on Elizabeth Taylor's tumultuous relationship with Richard Burton. For example, according to the Hollywood Reporter, "It should come as no great surprise that Lifetime's 'Liz & Dick' movie...

Lady Gaga marked Thanksgiving Day on Thursday by visiting a center for sexually abused girls in Peru.

The pop superstar is currently on tour in South America and she was in Peru for the festive holiday ahead of her Born This Way Ball show in Lima on Friday.

Gaga's family flew out to the country to spend the special day with her, but the singer also made time for some charity work by visiting a poor district of Lima to meet girls at a hostel for abused young women.

The Poker Face star greeted 45 girls at the Happy Faces center and shared snacks with them before a leading a sing-along of s...

Thanks to celebs like Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox it seems like every celebrity under the age of 30 has an infatuation with getting tattoos; and many stars are beginning to stray from the typical images of flowers, butterflies, skulls, hearts and barbed wire (perhaps the lamest tattoo ever) to having words, phrases and book or poem exerpts permanently injected under their skin.

Some celebs have even gotten a bit obsessed with getting new ink on a regular basis -- most of them small tattoos -- but enough to become a makeup artist's nightmare for those in the acting business.

Others, like ...

Lady Gaga showed her love for her Brazilian fans from the balcony of her hotel in Rio de Janeiro earlier this week. The singer stepped out without pants in a bright yellow soccer shirt.

Earlier in the week Gaga and her pal, makeup artist Tara Savelo, waved to fans and posed for lots of pictures in their bikinis.

On Wednesday the singer had hamburgers, french fries, soda and other fast food delivered to her fans who were waiting outside of her hotel room. She tweeted, "my lil Rio Babies PIZZA is coming downstairs. I feel like i slept in bed w you last night. every time i woke up i could he...

Shining Star - Lady Gaga: Lady Gaga is a shining star for 2 reasons this week- for being philanthropic by donating $1 million for Hurricane Sandy relief, and by setting a good example for embracing her curvier figure. The star gained about 30 pounds, and she’s not ashamed of it! She was spotted on the beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Wednesday in turquoise blue bikini, and she looks great! She was seen waving to fans from a rooftop pool. In September, Lady Gaga admitted that she has in fact gained weight, and that she “does not feel bad” about her weight gain. Gaga shared on Twitter,"To a...

Lady Gaga and her pal, makeup artist Tara Savelo, hammed it up on their hotel balcony in Rio de Janeiro Wednesday, waving to fans and posing for lots of pictures in their bikinis.

The "Born This Way" singer, who was vacationing in Puerto Rico last week when Hurricane Sandy battered the northeast, has been keeping away from her native New York and the horrible weather the people there have been experiencing (including a Nor'easter that hit the region today, bringing snow, rain and more flooding in its wake). But she's offered some relief to residents of the area by donating $1 million to th...

Lady Gaga has been left heartbroken by the scenes of destruction in her native New York after super storm Sandy wreaked havoc across the country's East Coast on Monday.

The Born This Way singer was on tour in Puerto Rico when the post-tropical hurricane made landfall, and she admits she was plunged into despair as she watched the disaster unfold in her home state.

Gaga took to her Little Monsters blog to offer support to the victims of the storm, admitting she felt as though her "entire childhood is underwater" as New Yorkers work to rebuild the damaged city streets.

A lot of stars have Academy Awards or Grammy Awards, but how many have 19 new species of fern named after them? Botanists at Duke University in North Carolina didn't think twice about bestowing the strange honor on Lady Gaga.

Plant expert Professor Kathleen Pryer says her team named the ferns after the singer due to her "fervent defense of equality and individual expression." But is that really a good reason by the scientific community?

Well, a graduate student discovered the letters "GAGA" appear in the plant's DNA sequence. Okay, we get it.

South African rap group Die Antwoord kills a Lady Gaga lookalike in its latest music video, and it isn't making the "Poker Face" singer very happy.

In the video "Fatty Boom Boom," a man dressed in Gaga's infamous meat dress is ridiculed and massacred by African rebels and mauled to death by a lion.

In another scene a gynecologist removes a shrimp from the fake Gaga's genitals, presumably a joke about past stories suggesting the singer is a hermaphrodite.

In response to the video, Gaga posted on Twitter, "i fink u freaky but you don't have a hit. hundred thousand tickets sold in SA. #that...

Lady Gaga has pulled a song she recorded with rising rapper Kendrick Lamar from his debut album after refusing to allow his label bosses to "compromise" her music.

The pop superstar struck up an odd friendship with Lamar earlier this year and they hit the studio together to record the track "Partynauseous" over the summer.

The tune was expected to appear on the hip-hop newcomer's upcoming release "good kid, m.A.A.d city," but the title was missing from the album when the tracklisting was released earlier this month.

Gaga has now opened up about the reason behind the song's absence, blami...

Lady Gaga showed her support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Monday by visiting the embattled editor in London.

The Australian activist was arrested in 2010 and ordered to reside at an address in the U.K. capital as he fights his extradition to Sweden on sex assault charges. However, he broke that condition in June when he moved into the Ecuadorian embassy demanding sanctuary.

Assange has since been granted diplomatic asylum and he was given a boost on Monday evening when the pop star visited him.

The Poker Face hit-maker spent five hours with Assange, and later posted a pictu...

Lady Gaga can't help but generate headlines these days. If it isn't for her fashion, it's for her weight gain or throwing up on stage in Barcelona, Spain.

We spotted the star in London on Sunday attending the launch of her new fragrance, "Fame," held at Harrods. While her black dress was quite conservative, she amped it up a bit with golden finger jewelry. It wouldn't be a Gaga outfit without a conversation piece.

The singer recently performed during her "Born This Way" tour in Italy, where she hung out with fashion designer Donatella Versace. The pop star is taking Europe by storm!

Lady Gaga has something in common with Justin Bieber - no, not that they both rock the pop charts. Lady Gaga vomited on stage in Barcelona, Spain over the weekend in the middle of a concert.

While performing Edge of Glory and walking over a fire exit set made to look like the music video, Lady Gaga bends over one of the railings, away from the audience, and lets loose. She then approaches one of her dancers and slips behind him so she can hurl the rest out while he dances in front of her.

Amazingly, she continues the song once she's got it out of her system.

The proprietors of Lady Gaga's family restaurant in New York have vowed to fight a damning report from city health inspectors after the eatery was found to be in violation of hygiene and sanitary rules.

The pop superstar's parents, Joseph and Cynthia Germanotta, own the Joanne Trattoria on Manhattan's West Side and it was officially opened with a star-studded launch in February, while Gaga has even admitted helping out in the kitchen herself.

However, New York City health inspectors were less than impressed with the Italian restaurant and it was given a poor rating following a Departmen...

Lady Gaga is to be honored for her political activism by Yoko Ono with a special award in memory of her late husband John Lennon.

The pop superstar will be handed the biennial LennonOno Grant For Peace at a special ceremony in Iceland later this month, and will also accept a charitable donation for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Announcing the news on Friday, Ono says, "Lady Gaga is one of the biggest living artists of our time. She is not only an artist; she is also an activist, using her art to bring better communication to the world."

"She is being acknowledged for her activism, a...

Lady Gaga is living it up in Europe. Yesterday she left the Hotel Principe di Savoia in Milan, Italy, and was mobbed by photographers and fans eager to catch a glimpse of the pop star.

The singer wore a very revealing black dress, held together on the sides by gold safety pins.

On Monday she hung out with Donatella Versace, showing off her puppy and throwing roses to fans from the balcony of the the Palazzo Versace. The singer is currently in town for her "Born This Way" tour.

Last month, after she smoked a joint during a concert in Holland, Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro...

Lady Gaga and fashion designer Donatella Versace had a good time on the balcony of the Palazzo Versace in Milan, Italy, yesterday.

The singer and designer looked very similar with the same shade of long blonde hair. Lost mother and daughter, perhaps? They were joined on the balcony by Gaga's pet puppy Fozzy, and at one point threw white roses to the crowd gathered below them.

The singer, who is in town for her "Born This Way" tour, also appeared in a tight fitting red dress with bondage-like straps on the bodice.

In response to growing criticism about her weight, Lady Gaga posted an image of herself in her underwear this week, tweeting, "join A BODY REVOLUTION." The photo included the caption: "Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15."

She is just one of many celebrities who have opened up about their struggles with weight and body image. It's no longer uncommon or shocking for a famous person to admit they struggled with an eating disorder.

According to the South Carolina Department of public health, approximately 8 million Americans have an eating disorder – 7 million women and 1 million men. Mean...

Lady Gaga is getting a lot of flack lately - for gaining weight, smoking marijuana on stage, and being a "slut." Coming to her defense is Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer.

Last week the singer made headlines after she smoked a joint during a concert in Holland. Staten Island Borough President James Molinaro called her out during an anti-drug event, saying, "This slut is influencing many, many children."

Drugs are definitely bad, but does that mean she's a slut?

Stringer, who aims to be New York City's next mayor, is a friend of Gaga's parents and came to the pop star's defense ...

Lady Gaga posted the above photo today on Twitter and LittleMonsters.com in response to the criticism she has been receiving recently after appearing in Amsterdam sporting a curvier figure.

The pop star tweeted, "join A BODY REVOLUTION" with a link to the photo on her site. The photo itself had the caption, "Bulimia and anorexia since I was 15."

Lady Gaga admitted she gained around 25 pounds recently in a radio interview before her European tour. However, the admission was lighthearted at the time; she blamed the weight gain on her father's Italian cooking.

Dozens of fans have since le...

Lady Gaga was spotted in Paris on Saturday leaving the Park Hyatt Paris Vendome Hotel and wearing a very bizarre pink and blue outfit with blue leather platform boots and a pair of glasses with odd-colored lenses.

The "Poker Face" singer has come under scrutiny over her figure lately -- which the pink and blue ensemble conveniently hides -- especially after photos of her from a show in Amsterdam hit the internet and the airwaves, causing many to criticize her obvious weight gain.

Gaga claims she's put on "like, 25 pounds" recently, but she says it's her father's fault, blaming his Italian...

Kelly Osbourne, one of the commentors on E!'s "Fashion Police," has been watching Lady Gaga's fashion in recent months and believes the pop star may be covering up a pregnancy.

During an appearance on British comedian Alan Carr's talk show she said, "I think she is pregnant because she has been covering up this part of her body recently and I have been noticing that a lot, and her style has changed and you can't bleach your hair blonde when you are pregnant."

However, Osbourne was interviewed before Gaga was spotted lighting up what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette on stage during a ...

Lady Gaga doesn't need to respond to critics about her weight - because she already explained her curvier body before she left on her European tour. After appearing Amsterdam featuring a fuller figure, The Daily News blasted the headline, "Lady Gaga looks 'Gaga-gantuan.'"

Lady Gaga spoke to Elvis Duran to explain her weight gain. "I'm dieting right now, because I gained, like, 25 pounds. And you know I really don't feel bad about it, not even for a second. I have to be on such a strict diet constantly. It's hard because it’s a quite vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I ...

There are celebrities who dress like they're here from another planet -- like new American Idol judge Nicki Minaj and fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld; and there are those celebrities we actually think really may be from another planet -- like Lady Gaga and Tom Cruise.

Karl Lagerfeld: no one on earth would ever consciously choose to look or dress like this.

Lady Gaga: may actually be from beyond. Those pointy horns and shoulders may actually be her true form. And she came here in a giant space egg. Hmmm....

Richard Branson: the dude's obsessed with getting back into spac...

Lady Gaga rarely fails to make a statement. Last week she promoted her new fragrance "Fame" by letting people touch her while she was "sleeping" and getting a cherub tattoo while perched in a giant replica perfume bottle.

Over the weekend she jetted to London for fashion week and drew tons of attention at the Philip Treacy LFW catwalk show at the Royal Courts of Justice in London.

She emerged from her car wearing a giant floral wreath covering her entire head with just her face peeking through in front.

Later, she wore a burka-like Adrienne Landau fur and cashmere cape with Indigo fox ta...

On Friday, Lady Gaga attended her "Fame" Eau de Parfum launch at Macy's Herald Square in New York City by arriving in a replica bottle of perfume carried by a horse drawn carriage.

The pop star wore an unusual, shiny black costume and a metallic copper mask. Her giant heeled boots featured naked gold figures writhing all over them.

On Thursday, the singer launched her perfume at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum where she allowed people to touch her while she was "sleeping" and she got a tatoo of a cherub on the back of her head.

Lady Gaga definitely knows how to put on a show - whether at a concert or a perfume launch. On Thursday night the pop star launched her debut fragrance, "Fame," while inside a giant replica perfume bottle.

After she arrived at the event in a convertible, attendees at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on New York's Upper East Side took photos of the singer wearing a black sparkly blouse, black skirt and red wig inside the transparent glass bottle. She applied make-up and played with an iPad while music (such as David Bowie's "Fame") played in the background.

Gaga called her performance "Sl...
