Vienna Girardi is supposedly scared of Jake Pavelka. He says he’d get engaged to her all over again. Another day in the aftermath of the Breakup of the Century.

After a taped reunion interview that reportedly involved Jake making a fist in anger, a Vienna source says she is afraid of Jake and doesn’t want to go near him.

While ABC claims that no one was ever in physical danger, witnesses say the scene was ugly, and Vienna Girardi wants nothing to do with the guy ever again.

“I am afraid of Jake because he is verbally abusive and controlling, I’m afraid of what he might do next,” she told a close friend. “I just want to be left alone.”

The friend adds that Vienna “just wants a normal life” and is allegedly “starting a regular 9-5 job in marketing” today, which she’s really “looking forward to.”

Marketing what, her own topless pics and celebrity news interviews?

It’s been reported that one reason for the breakup was that Jake refusing to put it to her, but he was all over Vienna when it came to publicity about the couple.

No wonder he says do it all over again - the two were all over the news!

While he’s hurt by Vienna’s alleged cheating, “I’m getting all the Tweets and support from fans,” he says. “You guys are going to get me through this. Thank you.”

“My goal in life is to make decisions that minimize regrets. I don’t regret anything I’ve done,” he said on Good Morning Texas. “It’s been the most amazing ride.”

Yes, folks, it’s been an amazing ride … broken fake engagement and all.

“I’ve gotten to do things that most people never even dream of doing, and I sit here [thinking], ‘What have I done to deserve this?’ Somebody pinch me.”

We’d love to, Jake. Got a vice handy?

Let’s forget that strange hit-and-run for a moment.

We’ll also gloss over the whining and scripted events on Bethenny Getting Married?, easily the most ridiculous concept for a reality show to ever air. (After all, Bethenny is married! There’s no question mark needed!)

Instead, let’s simply focus on the recent fashion choices made by actress January Jones and professional celebrity Bethenny Frankel.

They each donned a white Alice + Olivia dress at public events over the last couple weeks, though the ladies accompanied the outfit by very different footwear. Compare and contrast now:

Who wore this dress better?

Wow. What an amazing coincidence: the same week E! airs an episode of Kourtney and Khloe Takes Miami that focuses on Scott Disick being a pathetic drunk, that loser happens to get in a filmed fight with his neighbor.

It’s almost as if the marketing team planned it that way!

Below, a THG intern offers up her thoughts on this week’s installment of the most scripted show on television…

It’s weird that Kourtney said she doesn’t go to clubs when she’s photographed at them ALL THE TIME and was at one two episodes ago.  Still, this gave her a chance to get out of town with Khloe and head to Chicago.

You’d think Kourt would want to support Scott’s club opening, but nope.  She goes to the Windy City and pushes around Mason while walking next to Khloe, who literally is a foot taller than her in one scene.

The girls are in Chicago to explore Khloe’s obsession with all things forensics and serial killers.  She meets with a renowned doctor to do some investigating.  As the doctor is explaining what a sociopath is, Khloe is having flashbacks and relating everything to Scott.  She reallyyyy has it out for the guy.

Meanwhile, back in Miami Scott’s friends fly down for the opening of his club “MIA.”  When they visit the store, the boys invite the Dash employees, who respond with: “We know it’s a bad idea, but we should go anyway to show we are on Kourtney’s side.” 

What?!? That’s the most illogical rationalization I’ve ever heard.  Inappropriate all around.

Scott feels the need to prove to this boys that he’s not a boring ol’ dad and can still hang. So he chugs Patron - and gets drunk.  He calls one of the girls a hooker, the girl cries and then goes home.

While it’s never polite to call a girl a hooker, the girl really didn’t need to overdramatically beer tear about it.  You’re hanging out with Scott Disick, he could be shoving money down your throat… Oh wait I think he pulled that in this episode, too. 

The Dash employees totally seemed ditzy and dramatic.  They crossed the line, which was really stupid of them, but then again the E! producers probably obviously told them to.

Furthering all things inappropriate, Khloe point blank tells Scott that she thinks he is a sociopath.  He freaks out on her.  She tries to embarrass him at work.  All Kourtney wants to do is protect that little nugget of a baby, Mason.  Khloe needs to tone it down.  Then again, Scott needs a Valium…or five. 

Ah, just another week in the world of twisted reality TV.

Last night’s BET Awards featured lots of big names - Kanye West, Usher, T.I. - but perhaps the most talked-about performance came from Chris Brown.

The embattled singer, who has kept a relatively low profile of late, provided an emotional tribute to the late Michael Jackson, breaking down in tears.

Chris was introduced by Michael’s brother, Jermaine Jackson.

After a lengthy performance featuring the sickest Michael-inspired dance moves you’ll ever see, Brown took the mic to sing “Man in the Mirror” and lost it.

Nearly six minutes into the elaborate MJ homage, his voice cracked, he couldn’t sing, and at one point he crumpled to the stage in apparent agony.

MAN IN THE MIRROR: For Chris Brown, that Michael Jackson hit took on an entirely different meaning as he paid tribute to his idol on stage at the 2010 BET Awards.

Coupled with the one-year anniversary of Michael’s death, the moving moment was made even more so by the song’s lyrics and Chris’ recent past.

The 21-year-old returned to the stage later to apologize to his fans: “I let you all down before, but I won’t do it again. I promise you,” Brown said.

Say what you will about the guy and what he’s been through, the performance was actually pretty cool and showed how MJ’s music influenced him.

Was that really what it was about, though? Or was it about exploiting Michael’s memory for some much-needed positive PR, as some fans have said?

Here’s Chris Brown channeling Michael Jackson …

Mel Gibson’s lawyer says his former girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva is making up horrible stories about him because she’s having buyer’s remorse … so to speak.

Stephen Kolodny says it’s all over a custody agreement she signed: “Oksana’s deceitful conduct in trying to terminate Mel’s access to his daughter continues.”

This is serious stuff: Oksana Grigorieva claims Mel Gibson punched her twice in the face last January, knocking out her teeth and giving her a concussion.

It all started last week, when the Russian pianist took out a restraining order barring Mel from getting near Oksana or their daughter, 8-month-old Lucia.

The next day, Mel’s lawyer went to court and got the judge to modify the order, allowing Gibson to have contact with the child, his first with Grigorieva.

Kolodny claims, by modifying the order, the court rejected Oksana’s argument that the baby was in danger and affirmed their recent custody agreement.

SHE SAID, HE SAID: Did Mel beat Oksana, or is this a bitter ploy?

Sources connected with Oksana Grigorieva, however, claim she believes Mel Gibson is “extremely violent” and poses an ongoing threat to her and the baby.

Kolodny scoffs at the claim, saying “Mel was hopeful that their break-up was behind them and Lucia would be the beneficiary of cooperative parenting.”

“Apparently Lucia will be denied that good fortune.”

He noted that they agreed to a deal offering overnight, unrestricted visitation, and which would result in Mel having 50/50 custody of their daughter.

Finally, Kolodny says, “Making sensational allegations is not the way to resolve this,” adding that Mel wants a custody resolution in court, not the press.

Lies or not, allegations surfaced last week from sources in Oksana’s camp who said she had “to protect the baby during one of [Mel’s] violent episodes.”

“She tried to protect his reputation, despite her fears of him. She regrets believing his empty promises to obtain help to control his violent nature.”
