Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are reportedly going through a “rough patch” due to ego problems:

“Basically, it’s a total clash of the egos between the two of them. It’s always tough to make a relationship work when it’s between an actor and actress. Both tend to be self-obsessed to a degree, and Naomi and Liev fit that description to a T,” says a source, “Liev would like Naomi to take more of a back seat when it comes to her career, he wants to be the major star and breadwinner and he would like her to be more of a stay at home mom. But Naomi knows that her movie making days are running out fast and she wants to capitalize on her looks and fame while she still can – while she’s still young enough.” [RadarOnline]

A source claims that Lindsay Lohan is now getting paid less than Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi to show up at parties: “When Lindsay does get paid for attending events, she now gets $5,000 to $10,000, basically less than Snooki makes,” the source says, “It is sad and it is only getting worse.” [ShowbizSpy]
Though Dina Lohan has struck back against claims that her daughter, Lindsay is broke, TMZ claims they’ve seen copies of two bounced checks reportedly written by the actress to her landlord, which were returned due to “not sufficient funds.” [TMZ]
Meanwhile, a source claims that Lohan “is so out of control, nobody wants her to do their club appearances because she’s such a liability.” [PageSix]
Actress Tia Carrere, perhaps best known for her role in Wayne’s World, has filed for divorce from her husband of seven years, citing irreconcilable differences. [People]
An “insider” claims that no one on the set of Grey’s Anatomy will miss Katherine Heigl very much: “”Most the cast and crew were like, ‘Finally!’ There was such a release. With every movie, she’d get worse and start acting like she was the star. They’re such a family and are glad to have this behind them. I doubt there will be a party to send her off!” [USWeekly]
A top secret script for the upcoming film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was found at a pub by a Sun reader, who kindly handed it back to Warner Brothers: “I couldn’t believe my eyes. I know guys that work on the film drink in the pub, but it’s very embarrassing that someone could just leave it there,” the good samaritan says, “I’m glad I’ve helped to stop any surprises being leaked.” Ten points for Gryffindor! [TheSun]
The FBI is now investigating death threats against ESPN’s Erin Andrews, which were reportedly sent via email into the Dan Patrick Show. [TMZ]
According to Andrews’ lawyer, Marshall Grossman, the FBI is aware of who the stalker is, and “Erin and her family are protected. It is unfortunate that there are sick people who prey on the fears and threaten the well being of others. Erin is not alone among those who have to deal with such predators.” [TMZ]
Robert Pattinson says that fame has made him suspicious of people’s motives: “Being well known is a real burden. I’m less open and have noticed that I’m actually getting paranoid. If people push themselves on me I find it gruelling and repulsive. If I even think someone wants to approach me I feel the need to scream, ‘What do you want of me’. Then later I think, ‘What if this person only wanted to be nice?'” [TheSun]
Ricky Gervais has similar feelings: “I go to restaurants but they’re safe environments. People don’t bat any eyelid in the Ivy but I probably wouldn’t go to Nando’s on a Friday night in Birmingham, and I don’t go to pubs. I’ve had no bad experiences, everyone’s very polite, but you can get phobic. It’s about feeling trapped. If you walk into a shop and you see someone go [he whispers behind his hand], then you walk out again. Walking down the street with someone going, ‘Love the show’ – nothing wrong with that at all. But being plonked somewhere where there’s loads of people who you don’t know but think they know you – that’s a bit weird. We’re not really meant to be famous.” [TimesOnline]

Hulk Hogan says he’ll “always love” his ex-wife, Linda though the end of their marriage was fairly awful: “It’s hard to comprehend when I look at it in retrospect, with a clear head, but Linda’s rage and fury was so frequent it just became expected. It was almost routine.
Her cussing and swearing and disappearing felt like the new ‘normal’ in our household. In fact, we were bombarded by so many moments of misery that any time she said something positive it was shocking.” [TheSun]
A moving van was spotted outside of Jesse James’ home, and several items, including a couch, a love seat, and various boxes were seen being removed from the house, as well. [TMZ]

Belinda Brewin, who was best friends with Paula Yates before she died of a heroin overdose 10 years ago, worries that Yates’ daughter, Peaches Geldof, might be on the same path, and that her father, Bob Geldof, isn’t doing anything to stop it: “‘Bob’s got his head stuck in the sand, but nobody’s in a position to influence him. Everyone can see what’s happening, but would you really want to be the one to have to tell Bob he’s got to do something? If she was my daughter, Peaches would be in her second year of university, not living alone in Los Angeles.” [DailyMail]
