It's been nearly two months since In Touch exclusively revealed that President Donald Trump cheated on his wife, Melania, with porn star Stormy Daniels, but now new details about their alleged affair have surfaced. According to a recent report, the 38-year-old wasn't forced to sign the sworn statement due to "intimidation and coercive tactics." In fact, she didn't seem to take it seriously at all. A witness of the signing told The Blast that her claims are simply "asinine." Anthony Kotzev, the boyfriend of Stormy’s manager, Gina Rodriguez, told the site that he was actually sitting next to Stormy when she physically signed her second statement denying that she was paid any "hush money," and he said the environment was extremely "lighthearted." He added that Stormy was "joking around" while taking the pen to paper. Anthony alleged that the signing took place in January at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel...

After two years of working together, “Octomom” Nadya Suleman has been dropped by her manager, Gina Rodriguez of Gr Media. Rodriguez was responsible for making Suleman tens of thousands of dollars selling stories and pictures and arranging paid personal appearances, and she even put together the X-rated solo movie deal that allowed Suleman and her children to afford a new home.
“It has been very hard to work with her from the beginning but it got progressively worse since she left rehab in November," Rodriguez tells The Huffington Post. "Nadya is back to the same habits as before treatment and I cannot do it anymore. She is dishonest about everything to the point you cannot work effectively for her because you cannot decipher between what’s true and false. I’ve seen the situation the kids are in and it's very sad -- they were the only reason I helped for so long.

Nadya Suleman's solo porn video is nominated for four Avn Awards, but if she wins she won't be there to accept.
Octomom's manager, Gina Rodriguez, said her client will not be appearing at the Jan. 19 porn industry event in Las Vegas, even though Suleman's solo sex vid, "Octomom: Home Alone" is nominated for "Best Celebrity Sex Tape," "Best DVD Extras," "Best Marketing Campaign" and "Best Solo Release."
This announcement contradicts earlier comments by Suleman herself, who told The Huffington Post that she was excited about attending the show.
“I’m very excited to attend the Avn Awards," Suleman told The Huffington Post when the nominations were released earlier this month. “I’ve never been to anything like that before so I’m really looking forward to it.”

“Octomom” Nadya Suleman has come out swinging against "Celebrity Boxing" TV show founder Damon Feldman, who says he has filed a police report after Suleman did not return a diamond ring worth $7,500.
“It's a lie,” Nadya’s manager, Gina Rodriguez, tells The Huffington Post. “Nadya asked to get paid after she finished a pillow fight for Damon, he asked her and her friend that accompanied her on the trip, to meet him in his room and he would give her the money there."
"When her and her girlfriend arrived to the room, Damon opened the door let her in and dropped to his knee and conveniently had a photographer snapping pictures of it quickly. The 'ring' he is talking about was fake and did not fit on her finger.”

“They saw the kids are all well taken care of, eating, bathing and attending school daily. There is no abuse going on with any of the children, this is just another attempt by the former babysitter who called in the report after she was served with a temporary restraining order from the oldest, Elijah, last Friday,” Nadya’s manager Gina Rodriguez tells The Huffington Post. “They were welcomed into the home and they commented [on] how immaculate the home was. We are actually happy they came because this will stop the false allegations the former babysitter keeps making. We told them there is an open door for them and they can come by any time unannounced.

Nadya Suleman just recently endured an alleged flight from hell. This, however, was not because of the passengers or any turbulence during the trip. She was apparently harassed by Virgin America's flight crew.
Her manager, Gina Rodriguez, said that they were going from Los Angeles to New York for a gig when the flight turned into hell because the cabin crew treated them badly. She said that they were actually forced to change seats, were not given their drinks and practically joked about them because the two supposedly overheard the crew laughing at them.
Rodriguez confronted the said attendants and she claims that one of them snapped back at her. The two filed a report to the airline about the incident but there's still no news from Virgin as of the moment.

Then again maybe I won't.
For fans hoping to get a glimpse of a topless Nadya Suleman in her strip club debut, there's bad news. The famed Octomom has pulled out of the gig.
TMZ is reporting that Suleman, who was scheduled to perform for four days in July at T's Lounge in West Palm Beach, Fl, is skipping the shows because club employees began making fun of her.
Suleman's rep (that's shocking enough that she has one) Gina Rodriguez says that exiting became the only option after a club bartender tells the local news, "[Suleman has] a lot of mouths to feed so it was only a matter of time" before she started stripping. The bartender continues, "She must be a little crazy, normal people don't have that many children."
The publication adds that Suleman was also displeased that the club hinted she might get completely naked and offer lap dances if the price was right.

But with Suleman filing for bankruptcy this week and revealing she owes everyone from her parents to her gardener to her baby-sitters nearly $1 million, could the Octomom Odyssey finally be grinding to an inglorious halt?
Not only is Suleman flat broke, but it has come to light in recent weeks that the La Habra home where she and her children have lived the past two years is about to be put on the auction block.
Last week that home was visited by child welfare officials who had received a tip that Suleman was neglecting her children. They took no action but have said they are continuing to investigate.

If you're wondering why Octomom's Facebook, Twitter, and Ustream accounts have all been suddenly deleted ... it's because the mother of 14 has just been dropped by her management team -- TMZ has learned.Sources close to Nadya Suleman tell us, it's all because Octo was the ultimate flake -- her management team would book her on paying gig after paying gig ... and Nadya "would find any reason" to cancel last minute ... often claiming she couldn't find a babysitter.

A woman at a club leaves after receiving a text message, bumping into another woman along the way. She's shot, (that was a woman's hand holding the gun so not much room for a slew of suspects). Patrick (Simon Baker) comments Lisbon (Robin Tunney) looks rested. Chief Henderson (Dean Norris) called for help. Patrick notices two shots were fired to her head. Her name is Yolanda (Natalia Costellanos) and she has a stamp on her wrist from Club Luxure. He also notices her polish was 'sloppily' applied... She was also wearing a sports bra with which Lisbon agrees. Patrick wonders why she was wearing a disguise, which was the key word for this episode, as will be revealed later. Henderson knew her, she was an undercover cop, working narcotics. Known as Yoli, her ID must be kept secret. Henderson leaves after insulting Patrick and telling Lisbon to keep the "circus act under control.

Apparently former reality star and all-around fame hog Tareq Salahi plans to sell his wife’s underwear for charity, and well, we have a couple questions about that. No, our queries don’t include things like, “Dear God, why?” or “Do you really think this is the best way to respond to your soon-to-be-ex-spouse Michaele Salahi’s affair with Journey guitarist Neal Schon?” because really, what would Tareq even say to that? Instead our inquiries include:
What kind of shameless pervert would spend his or her hard-earned money on a pair of undies worn by a Real Housewife of D.C.? Jersey, we can understand, but D.C.? How much are those undies going for? We have a whole mess of student loans to pay off, and we bet we can finagle a cameo onto Rhony. According to Tareq’s ex-manager Gina Rodriguez, who quit over his unsettling plan, Salahi...

Tareq Salahi, one half of the infamous "Real Housewives of D.C." couple that was accused of crashing a White House state dinner, is now selling his estranged wife's used underwear, saying the money raised is going to charity. But Michaele Salahi isn't the only one who will most likely have her panties in a bunch after Tareq's latest stunt, his now ex-manager, Gina Rodriguez, told me she quit over his latest odd decision.
"He is only giving 10 percent to charity and he said it was going to Make A Wish Foundation and Comic Relief, but they knew nothing about it when they were called," a shocked insider tells me, wondering if it is even legal to sell off Michaele's belongings before any divorce is finalized.
Michaele left Tareq a few weeks ago to pursue a relationship with Neal Schon of the band Journey, leaving all her belongings behind.

Though this certainly sounds bizarre enough to invoke speculation of those two dreaded, eye-rolling words—publicity stunt—for now, it's probably best to take Tareq Salahi at his word. Because according to the onetime White House gatecrasher, his wife, the notorious former Real Housewives of D.C. castmate Michaele Salahi, has been kidnapped. "It is our belief as of last night, Michaele Salahi may have been kidnapped or abducted and is being held under duress and forced to tell persons, including authorities, she is Ok," manager Gina Rodriguez said. "Alert!! Urgent! Michaele Salahi Missing!" read the first of many tweets Rt'd by Tareq—and originally sent out by his...

It doesn't pay to play matchmaker for Jose Canseco ... at least according to a Hollywood manager who claims she set the former baseball star up on a date, only to get screwed herself. Gina Rodriguez has prepared legal docs targeting Canseco, claiming she booked him on a TV show called, "Celebridate" back in June -- where famous people are set up on a date with regular people. But Gina claims Jose never forked over the commission check for her work.

She may have a skewed perception of what makes a full house, but Nadya Suleman is on the ball when it comes to her 14 children's education -- even if it costs her more than a pretty penny. Of Suleman's 14 children, until recently, 13 of them were enrolled in a private education -- a decision that had the family more than a little financially strapped.
"Three weeks ago, she pulled the octuplets out and has them at home with her," Suleman's manager, Gina Rodriguez told HuffPost Celeb's Naughty Nice Rob. "She is teaching them from home and saving on money. Her oldest [Elijah] has always been in public school, so the other 5 kids are still in private school."
It's no wonder, with five kids still in private school, that Suleman has recently been making the media rounds, hoping to ignite her presence in the celebrity world in an effort to boost appearance earnings.

Adam Pally as Max on Happy Endings
It's no secret that we're big fans around here of ABC's Happy Endings. That's why I made sure to sit down and do interviews with the entire cast when I was in L.A. for the Television Critics Association Press Tour earlier this month. (Check back next month for those interviews where I talk smack with Adam Pally.)
And it's why we are happy that next week ABC will be airing an extra episode of Happy Endings that the network didn't have room for last spring. (Blame it on Dancing With the Washed Up Has Beens.) On the downside, based on the promo pics provided by the network, it doesn't look like Max (Adam Pally) is going to have much to do.
To which we can only say ... Boo! You better not do that when the show returns in September ABC, or there might be trouble.

Carmen Marron was in that spot seven years ago, with no connections, no clue on how to do it, only that necessary passion and desire.
