"My Truth is Stranger Than Fiction" Says Bethenny Frankel

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 05:16 PM PDT

"Fiction? For some reason the craziest things just happen to happen to me," she tells me exclusively. "Not many people have an iguana poop in their suite on their honeymoon or their baby nurse attempt to baptize their child."

So states Bethenny Frankel, who was speaking with E! Online's Mark Malkin, tying to dismiss rumors that her 'Lost at Sea' ordeal was not a staged publicity stunt.

"I wish that boat trip were fiction rather than the nightmare it actually was," Bethenny adds. "My truth is stranger than fiction."

The Skinnygirl mogul has claimed that she and her husband, Jason Hoppy, her therapist and her camera team were lost at sea in New England back in September. Frankel reported that they were stranded for about 20 hours after their boat's GPS malfunctioned ~

'We were in the middle of the deep sea with no land or anybody near us. The captain had never, in 30 years, called the Coast Guard.'

But was the story true?

According to Tim Russell, who rescued the stranded passengers and their Captain,' the GPS worked just fine. He told the Jewish Journal that he was called to help them after the Coast Guard refused because the boat wasn't in danger.

Russell adds that when Bethenny and travelers got to shore, she bent down to kiss the deck but not until the cameras began rolling. He even says he never received a $2,800 tip that Frankel told Ellen DeGeneres she gave to him.

So who do we believe? Will we ever know the truth? And should we be hearing the song from Gilligan's Island about now??

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 03:26 PM PDT

Beyonce's publicist has made a statement to ABC.com regarding the rumors swirling that the singer is wearing a fake baby bump prosthesis ~

Yvette Noel-Schure, says in her statement that the fake-bump rumors are "stupid, ridiculous and false."

The rumors started fast and furious right after photos and videos hit the Web that appeared to show Beyonce's burgeoning baby bump to collapse as she sat down during the Australian talk show Sunday Night HD. Suggestions that she is not even pregnant but that she and husband Jay-Z are paying a surrogate to carry their first baby have even been making their way around the web as well.

The couple have announced Beyonce's due date is in February.

Gone Camping: Demi and Ashton

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 05:22 PM PDT

Putting divorce rumors aside, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore have gone on a camping trip.

Did Ashton Kutcher cheat on his wife, Demi Moore on their sixth wedding anniversary?

Everyone wants to know for sure since the reports of Kutcher's alleged affair with Sara Leal came out, but looks like confirmation or denials will be put on hold while the couple enjoy a camping trip near Santa Barbara.

The couple's Kabbalah instructor Yehuda Berg and Kutcher's friend Eric Buterbaugh accompanied them in the great outdoors-so maybe this is a /last ditch marriage saving attempt by Demi and Ashton.

The insider.com has published pictures of the couple sitting by a camp fire at Lake Cachuma, near Santa Barbara, Calif (and neither looks too happy.)

Beyonce: Fake Baby Bump?

Posted: 11 Oct 2011 12:52 PM PDT

Is the baby bump Beyonce is sporting these days the real thing or a fake bump? Believe it or not, there is growing speculation that Beyonce may have worn one of those fake maternity pads people buy at maternity stores to simulate being pregnant.

The 30-year-old singer gave an interview to local TV personality Molly Meldrum on the Sunday Night program and now YouTube video of the show is coming under scrutiny.

At one point - around the 57 second mark - the cameras appear to show Beyoncé's bump being squashed and moving as she sits down.

According to Mail Online, even The Washington Post calling it 'weird' while ABC News asks: 'Is Beyoncé's bump as big as she'd have us believe?'

Could it be too far fetched to think Beyonce wants us to think she is pregnant while a surrogate actually carries her baby?

Could it be that she is using a fake bump to bring more attention to her pregnancy?

Could it be people are bored and trying to create drama around Beyonce's baby belly?

What is not fake is Beyonce's soon to be maternity line, which she revealed she is working on in an interview she gave with Harper's Bazaar recently.

In the interview, Beyonce says she waited to get pregnant as she focused on her career~

'It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother,' she said.

'Now God has blessed us with the ultimate.'
