Here's the Scoop....
Aaron Carter is taking a break - in rehab!
The singer and Dancing with the Stars alum, 23, has entered
an undisclosed treatment facility "to heal some emotional
and spiritual issues he was dealing with," his manager
Johnny Wright says in a statement. Aaron (whose older brother
is Backstreet Boys member Nick) recently approached Wright to
"restart" his music career.
"He has been in Orlando working on a new album, perfecting
his live show and his physical body," Wright says. His stint
at the facility will provide "the guidance and cleansing he
needs. Which is turn will help him on the music journey he's
about to take," the statement continues.
Adds Wright: "Aaron asks that everyone keep him in their
prayers and that they respect his privacy at this time."
A source close to the star says, "He's in a great place. He
was struggling a bit so needed to go someplace to get some
help."

Oprah's Big Secret: She Has a Half-Sister!!!
As promised, Oprah Winfrey spilled the beans on her shocking
family secret during her show, broadcast in Chicago Monday
morning.
The big reveal: Oprah, 56, discovered a half-sister she never
knew she had. Named Patricia, the sibling was given up for
adoption as a child in 1963, and now lives in Milwaukee, Wisc.
The talk show guru learned about the long-lost relative in
November, and they met up in November.
Patricia had long been searching for the identity of the mother
who gave her up for adoption; in 2007, she discovered that
world-famous Oprah was her half-sister.
As for Oprah, she says she was 9 years old and living with her
father, Vernon, when her mother gave birth to Patricia and
gave her up. Oprah didn't even know about her mom's pregnancy,
she says.
"I thought I'd seen it all," Oprah teased about the discovery
on Friday. "But this, my friends, is the miracle of all
miracles."
She added that the news "literally shook me to my core." The
mogul has been frank on her show about her difficult past: She
was born into poverty, sexually abused at a young age and lost
a baby at age 14.

Jack LaLanne Dies at Age 96...
Fitness guru Jack LaLanne has died at the age of 96, family and
friends confirmed to the Associated Press. Jack, who spent his
long life exercising, keeping a healthy diet and advocating the
same for all Americans, passed away Sunday in his Morro Bay, CA
home; the cause was respiratory failure due to pneumonia.
Elaine LaLanne, his wife of 51 years and frequent companion
during TV appearances, said in a written statement: "I have not
only lost my husband and a great American icon, but the best
friend and most loving partner anyone could ever hope for."
Jack was famous for maintaining a muscular, healthy look far
into his geriatric years. He became a star with a morning
workout show, using exercises that required no special equipment,
that aired on TV from the 1950s through the 70s.
He also founded a chain of eponymous health clubs as well as a
popular "Power Juicer" product.
"The only way you can hurt the body is not use it," he once said.
"Inactivity is the killer and, remember, it's never too late."
Among his impressive fitness victories: At age 43, he performed
1,000 pushups in 23 minutes during a TV show. At age 60, he swam
from Alcatraz Island to Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco while
handcuffed, shackled and towing a boat.
"I never think of my age, never," he said in 1990. "I could be
20 or 100. I never think about it, I'm just me. Look at Bob Hope,
George Burns. They're more productive than they've ever been in
their whole lives right now."
Arnold Schwarzenegger said in 1990 of his fellow fitness icon:
"He laid the groundwork for others to have exercise programs,
and now it has bloomed from that black and white program into a
very colorful enterprise."
"It's a lifestyle, it's something you do the rest of your life,"
Jack once explained. "How long are you going to keep breathing?
How long do you keep eating? You just do it."
The star is survived by his wife plus two sons, Dan and Jon, and
daughter Yvonne.

*-*-* GUESS WHO *-*-*-
This actor's ex-wife posted several videos on YouTube, in
which she alleges that the comedian and author was a chronic
cheater in their marriage who then took their son and left
her with nothing after they split...
It's Steve Harvey...
In three videos totaling more than 25 minutes, Mary Harvey
discusses the entire arc of their relationship, from their
meeting in the mid-1990s to the present. She claims he was
unfaithful practically from the beginning and was ruthless
during the divorce.
"He turned my son against me, had me evicted from our house,"
she says. "I woke up, and everything was gone."
In response, a statement from Steve Harvey's attorney, Bobbie
Edmonds, states: "We are appalled and aware of the videos and
other fabricated documents ... which contained false,
misleading, derogatory, disparaging, malicious, explicit and
slanderous information about Mr. Harvey, his current wife and
others."
The statement adds: "The ex-wife is fully aware of the court's
current orders and permanent injunctions which prohibit either
party, their lawyers or representatives from discussing and
releasing information on the Internet and to the media. We are
taking the necessary legal steps to rectify this matter to the
full extent of the law and we will be seeking contempt and
sanctions against her for such reprehensible and callous
disregard for the court orders."
