Nope, it isn't over for Gordon Ramsey.  During a recent appearance on a British cooking show, the chef claimed that Sarah Symonds' story of a 7 year affair is "a load of BS".  Now, more information is coming out about Sarah that may cast doubt on her claims.

A former employer, Noel Biderman of AshleyMadison.com, told this to FoxNews' Pop Tarts:

Symonds was the face of the company in the U.K and we wanted to generate some buzz and one of the ideas we threw around was if she was too have a high-profile affair," Noel Biderman, President & CEO of AshleyMadison.com tells Tarts. "At the time she specifically asked if an affair with a top British chef would accomplish what we needed to do."

And what do you think AshleyMadison.com does?  If you guessed that it is a website for married people who are looking to have an affair, then your guess is correct.  And why would they be working with Sarah Symonds?

Because Sarah calls herself a "professional mistress," and even wrote a book titled "Having An Affair? A Handbook For The Other Woman."  

Apparently, Sarah's alleged affair with Lord Jeffrey Archer wasn't enough publicity.  And her insistence that she was "reformed" and wanted to discourage women from becoming mistresses didn't stop her from working for a website that encourages extramarital affairs.

Nevertheless, the problem with FoxNews' implication that Sarah is just out for publicity for her website is that Sarah left AshleyMadison.com before going public with her story that she had a long-term affair with Gordon Ramsey.

The relationship between the spokeswoman and the company fizzed out after just a few months as Symonds reportedly wanted to head to Hollywood and pursue her lifelong ambitions while the company needed someone who would stay in the U.K.

"There were no ill feelings when she left," Biderman says, adding that he has since reached out to Symonds in the wake of the Ramsay infidelity claims but has not had a response."

So, we're left with more questions.

What's the use of Sarah coming out with this now since her book was published over a year ago and she no longer needs to generate publicity for a website?  Maybe Sarah is going public now for publicity so she can "pursue her lifelong ambitions" in Hollywood? What ambitions, exactly, is she hoping to pursue?

How does this fit with Gordon's reported claim that he only met with Sarah four times? 

And does it matter that FoxNews is providing this information- you know, the news division of the same network that airs Hell's Kitchen?

Something tells me this still isn't over...

Meet Gretchen Rossi, the newest member of the Real Housewives of Orange County.  She spoke to E!'s Marc Malkin, and the information she provided guarantees there will be no shortage of drama in the show's upcoming season.

Gretchen was engaged to Jeff Beitzel who was ill with acute leukemia during the season's filming.  Apparently, behind Gretchen's back, the other housewives called her a "gold digger" because of their 23-year age difference.

(BTW, as someone once asked me, aren't you supposed to be married to be called a housewife? I guess being engaged, divorced, living together, or single with children all qualify.  Welcome to the 21st century!)

Gretchen denied being a gold digger, and told E! that she refused to marry Jeff while he was ill to prove that she was with him out of true love, not just his money. 

I think people would have made assumptions if I had married him during that time, and that's not the reason I was ever with Jeff,' Gretchen says, now 31. 'It just wasn't…I really wanted to marry him when he was healthy enough to walk down an aisle. Jeff asked me many times to marry him while he was in the hospital and I said, 'I'm not doing that.' "

Unfortunately, Jeff passed away last September, after the season completed filming.

In addition to the housewives' accusations about Gretchen's motives for being with Jeff, Gretchen spoke of their insensitivity about his illness.  At one point Gretchen was discussing Jeff's illness with the other housewives, but housewife Vicki Gunvalson wasn't interested.

Vicki is just typing and couldn’t care less about what I'm saying. And then afterward, she's like, 'I don't want be chitchatting about death,' " Gretchen said. "I was like, What?"

I wasn't sure any housewives could top the drama from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, but I could be wrong.  The Real Housewives from the OC's fourth season started last week, so we'll have to see!

ER star Parminder Nagra has confirmed that she's pregnant with her first child!  Congrats to Parminder and her boyfriend of 7 years, James Stenson!

"We are thrilled and overjoyed at the prospect of becoming first time parents."

Since Parminder is originally from England, the couple will eventually have to decide where they want their baby to grow up.

"The plan is to stay in L.A. We still have a home in London, so eventually the plan is to be bi-costal, but who knows what the future holds. We are just taking it one day at a time."

As for tying the knot, just because they're expecting doesn't mean they're going to rush into anything.

"Yes, our plans are to get married but there's no confirmed date yet."

I wonder if this means we'll start seeing more of her out and about.  Stars who normally fly low on the paparazzi radar get pregnant and then BAM!  All of a sudden they're on the cover of every tabloid!

First Jennifer Garner, now Kirsten Dunst has a stalker!  Kirsten has obtained a restraining order against Christopher Smith, who she says is stalking her.  In her declaration to the court, Kirsten wrote:

“Mr. Smith has repeatedly shown up uninvited at my place of residence in Los Angeles, going so far as to ignore police warnings, bypass my personal security measures, trespass on my property, and attempt to gain entry into my home.”

Kirsten's housemate and personal assistant, Elizabeth Donohue, performed a citizen's arrest when she discovered Smith on the property.  Smith was then arrested by the police and placed in a 72-hour psychiatric hold.  Not surprisingly, this has Kirsten fearful.

“Mr. Smith’s sudden, aggressive, and harassing efforts to contact me are extremely frightening. I fear not only for my own personal safety, but also for the safety and well being of my housemate and assistant.”

In his statement to the police following his arrest, Christopher told the police that he knew what he had done was wrong and he had "learned" his lesson.

'I’m in love with Kirsten, so I went to her house,' he said.

'I connected with Kirsten spiritually,' he is also quoted as saying. 'I felt like I connected with her and she connected with me. Now I don’t know if she did. I guess you have to ask her if she connected.' "

Travis Barker and DJ AM are back! After surviving a terrible plane crash that killed four people and left both Travis and DJ AM with severe burns, the pair are reuniting to headline New Year's Nation's Los Angeles New Year's Eve Party at The Lot in West Hollywood.

'I'm ready to get back on stage with AM and continue to rock the house,' Barker said in a statement. 'I'm very excited to bring in the New Year in my hometown of L.A.'"

The duo, who perform together under the name TRVSDJAM, will have their performance broadcast at other New Year's Nation parties across the country as well as have it streamlined over the internet.  This is TRVSDJAM's first appearance since the accident last September.

The swiftness of their recoveries is both amazing and inspiring! 

Paris Hilton paid a visit to the Macy's inside NJ's Woodbridge Center Mall this past weekend to promote her new fragrance, "Fairy Dust". As we all know, this is just the latest of MANY products available to purchase under the Paris brand. She has hair extensions, champagne in a can, shoes, and fragrances.

I'm curious, does anybody on INO purchase Paris' merchandise - particularly the fragrances?
