Solange Knowles Accuses Wrong Police Dept of Racism


Enjoying some fresh air and sunshine, Gerard Butler was spotted at the beach in Malibu yesterday afternoon (August 28).

Joined by his adorable little pug puppy Lolita, the “PS I Love You” hunk chatted on his mobile phone as he strolled along the sand.

The day before (August 27) Gerard was out and about with Lolita again, this time picking up some caffeinated creations at Starbucks coffeehouse.

And on Friday, Mr. Butler enlisted the help of two surfing instructors as he attempted to catch a wave in Malibu’s beautiful waters.

Keeping up on her regular workout regimen, Hilary Duff was spotted hitting the gym in Los Angeles, CA on Monday (August 29).

The “Beauty and the Briefcase” star and a gal pal looked ready to sweat as they headed inside the local exercise facility.

In other news, it's being reported that Miss Duff received a $100,000 payout after being dumped from the upcoming “Bonnie and Clyde” film when she announced her pregnancy earlier this month.

A clause in her “play-or-pay” contract apparently secured the money for Duff, as she’s already given press for the movie.

As the season opener of “Two and a Half Men” draws near, Jon Cryer opened about Charlie Sheen's character’s exit from the show.

The Alan Harper actor told Entertainment Weekly that Sheen’s character will not simply go away after his tragic death on the season premiere.

“The history of the show does not go away at all,” Cryer said. “It will be dealt with all through the first season. It’s not, ‘Oh, that character’s gone, let’s forget completely about him.’ There will be ramifications all through the season.”

As for Ashton Kutcher's new character, Jon told, “I can only say my character ends up being the more romantically experienced one of the two of them. So Alan becomes sort of a mentor character to Ashton’s character. And as bad as an idea as that sounds, it’s just as bad on the show — I’m a terrible mentor.”

After suffering through and recovering from a serious eating disorder, Demi Lovato strutted her stuff at last night's MTV VMAs, but sadly had to deal with some hurtful tweets regarding her weight.

The “Sonny with a Chance” star was being ridiculed by haters for gaining a couple of extra pounds - to which she responded, “I've gained weight. Get over it. That's what happens when you get out of treatment for AN EATING DISORDER."

Awhile later, Ms Lovato deleted that tweet and replace it with, "Guess what, I'm healthy and happy, and if you're hating on my weight you obviously aren't."

Hopefully the negative comments weren't taken to heart, because Demi looked absolutely stunning!

Taking his workout to the beach, Kellan Lutz was spotted out with a trainer on Muscle Beach in Venice, CA on Monday (August 29).

The “Twilight” hunk jammed to his iPod while partaking in the circuit training exercise session - making sure to take several water breaks to stay hydrated.

Branching out from the Hollywood scene, Kellan celebrated the launch of his new clothing line called Abbott & Main in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Of the new gig, Lutz told press, "I love to create. I’ve always wanted to get into fashion. I’ve always liked drawing, not Space Age stuff but high fashion."

Taking to the sandy shore for some family fun in the sun, Gwen Stefani, hubby Gavin Rossdale and their adorable sons Kingston and Zuma were spotted out in Malibu, California on Sunday (August 28).

Ditching the 2011 VMAs for the beach, the No Doubt rocker showed off her killer bod in a slinky black bikini and flowing white skirt as she perused the beautiful locale alongside her loved ones.

Meanwhile, the 41-year-old mom's personal trainer, Mike Heatlie, has dished the details about keeping Gwen in top-notch form, telling Closer magazine it's all about balance.

“You need some carbohydrates. Anybody who says you don’t is wrong. I’ve tried eating no crabs and it’s not that productive – but you should only eat them up until lunchtime."

He later added, “Gwen follows a protein-based diet with vegetables. She has lots of salmon or chicken and vegetables at lunch and dinner, while omelettes, a protein shake or porridge make good breakfast choices.”

Marking their late father's special day, Michael Jackson's three children, Prince, Paris and Blanket, visited the music icon's childhood home as a way to celebrate what would have been his 53rd birthday.

Traveling to Gary, Indiana to honor the pop superstar's day of birth, the trio, alongside grandfather Joe Jackson, ventured to the humble, small time abode located on the aptly named "Jackson Street."

Met with an abundance of Michael's fans upon their arrival, the children took in the house that held fond memories of the Jackson clan before they made their move to California in 1969.

Elated to see the love for their dad still so strong, 13-year-old Paris told press she was "thrilled" to witness the outpouring of support for the "Thriller" singer's legacy during the family's Saturday homecoming.

Attempting to go unnoticed to no avail, Ryan Gosling was spotted at the Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend (August 27).

While exiting the terminal, the “Blue Valentine” stud sported a ballcap and shades while keeping his head lowered, but the sneaky paparazzi tracked him down and snuck some photos.

The travels come as a new TV spot for Gosling’s upcoming flick “Drive” – which hits theaters September 16 - just hit the web.

The film revolves around a Hollywood stunt performer, who moonlights as a wheelman, discovers a contract has been put on him after a heist gone wrong.

She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).

The “Crazy in Love” songstress brought her fashion A-game as she posed inside the Nokia Theatre LA Live to prepare for her big performance, but the BIG news is the confirmation that she's expecting her first child with Jay-Z!

Quite the exciting time for Beyonce, the gorgeous singer's baby news comes shortly after she released her music video for “1+1” from her latest album 4.

Additionally, coming up on October 8th, Knowles will join in via satellite for the Michael Jackson tribute concert at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.

The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.

As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."

Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.

Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).

The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.

Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).

During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”

She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.

Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."

An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."

The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."

In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."

Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:

Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane

Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.

Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!

Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.

As a followup to a story first reported by GossipCenter, the Miami Police Department has denied claims of discrimination made by Solange Knowles.

The singing sister of Beyonce took to Twitter in the wee hours of Sunday morning (August 28) while alleging to have had a weapon drawn on her for no reason - in which she mistakenly blamed the Miami PD instead of the Miami Beach officers responsible for the incident.

With more details coming forth, Miss Knowles is said to have been turned away from entering Club Cameo in Miami Beach due to the fact that she was holding a "giant banana" - though she became angry while feeling that the refusal of entrance was due to racial reasons.

Releasing a statement exclusively to GossipCenter on the matter, Delrish L. Moss of the Miami PD told, "Over the weekend, the lion’s share of the mainstream and entertainment media reported that the Miami Police Department had a confrontation with Solange Knowles, the sister of Beyonce Knowles of record and movie fame."

Moss added, "We have investigated and found that this incident DID NOT occur in our city. We have determined that Ms. Knowles was not in our city at the time of the alleged incident. That city has informed us that they are looking into the incident. This incident DID NOT involve the Miami Police Department in any way, shape, or form."

Meanwhile, Miami Beach Police are looking into the matter and currently trying to contact Solange in regards to her complaints.
