- A source dishing on Tom Cruise’s generous tipping calls him “a big giver.” Hmmm. That’s not going to do anything to halt the gay rumors, now is it? [Dlisted]

- Janet Jackson lands on the cover of a magazine called Prestige. The synergy of wishful thinking and publishing is a powerful, powerful thing. [CONCRETELOOP]

- A (pseudo-) sex tape from Mobb Deep’s Prodigy surfaces almost simultaneously with the announcement of his next solo album. I don’t see nothin’ wrong wit’ a little…cross-promotion. [Crunk + Disorderly]

- In related news, Amy Fischer is DJing a release party for her sex tape. Cross-promotion: 2; Dignity: 0. [Best Week Ever]

- Fergie and Josh Duhamel share a day painting at the beach. Burying each other in the sand would have been a greater service to the world, but hey, can’t have everything. [Pop Sugar]

It seems like Josh Duhamel can’t talk about his girlfriend Fergie without using the word, "hot." As a consequence, I can’t read about him talking about Fergie without throwing up. And so, to Josh’s recent assertion that, "[Fergie] would have been too hot for me in high school. I would have been intimidated by her," I say: GROSS. Seriously, Josh’s gushing reads like spin, spin, spin, but what exactly is he trying to convince us? That he really likes girls? That Fergie really is hot? Frankly, I’m still not convinced of either.

The latest development in Josh and Fergie’s steamy courtship is that she has taken up pole dancing. She’s a regular Midwest stripper, past meth addiction and all! Says Josh in next month’s Glamour:

"Fergie is taking lessons, but she won’t get on it until she knows what she’s doing, ’cause she doesn’t want to look stupid."

The woman who coined the word "Fergalicious," who promised to "get, get, get, get you drunk, get you drunk off my hump," who confessed to peeing herself on stage, doesn’t want to look stupid? Interesting. [New York Post]

The Seacrest-y and zesty Josh Duhamel has revealed the details of his first face-to-face encounter with his longtime girlfriend Fergie. Surprisingly, no barf bags were involved. They met in 2004 on the set of Josh’s show Las Vegas, on which the Black Eyed Peas performed. Says Josh of the magic moment:

"After they finished rehearsing, I was walking out, and all of a sudden she was walking toward me. I was like, Oh boy. She stopped. And this is so sad, but I said, in this desperate voice, ‘You’re hot!’"

Josh was either lying or showing that his definition of "hot" has nothing to do with the rest of the English-speaking world’s definition of hot. Either way, Fergie bought it. Sad. But Josh is so macho, right? He should have asked her if she needed a fillin’. Or he could have simply just grabbed his crotch at her. If the shot above (from 2005) is any indication, she’s into that. [People / Image credit: Getty]
