Tori Spelling And Family Go Pumpkin Shopping Just Weeks After Near Fatal Pregnancy And Childbirth

By Radar Staff

A tired but cheerful looking Tori Spelling was snapped pumpkin shopping with her brood at a family farm on Sunday after “nearly dying” while pregnant.

The former Beverly Hills 90210 star was dressed in a floaty, Boho-chic maxi dress and was spotted with her husband Dean McDermott, three of their kids and a nanny at the Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark, California.

The outing comes not even a month after Tori was forced to undergo emergency surgery for complications following the C-section birth of her fourth child, Finn Davey.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Tori was rushed to hospital on September 15, three weeks after having the baby.

But the 39-year-old actress looked well on the road to recovery on Sunday and appeared to be having a great time with her hubby, son Liam, five, and daughters Stella, four, and Hattie, one.

Stella rode a pony and the family bought pumpkins…and Tori, wearing over-sized shades, looked healthy after her terrifying health scare.

Kate Gosselin Accused Of Being Cruel To The Family Pets

By Radar Staff

Kate Gosselin has been accused of hitting her children with a wooden spoon, and now in another bombshell revelation, the mother-of-eight is accused of being cruel to the family pets!

Robert Hoffman
, the journalist who became close to Kate’s ex, Jon Gosselin tells the new issue of Star magazine that he allegedly witnessed Kate’s appalling behavior to the German shepherds, Nala and Shoka, that the family kept as pets but eventually gave away.

“Kate left the family dogs in their cages behind the house for hours on end with no food,” says Hoffman, who authored the controversial book Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World.

PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin Through The Years

When Jon and Kate first split up, they would take turns staying at the house with the children, and Hoffman claims that Jon told him that when he would show up after being away for a few days, he’d find the starving dogs living in filth.

“She never cleaned the cages,” says Hoffman. “Jon would return to find them filled with urine, poop and puke. I saw vomit in them.”

Kate not only allegedly let the poor animals live in horrendous conditions, according to Hoffman, she also hit them. “She would knock them over the head and yell,” claims Hoffman. “The abuse caused Nala to become very resistant to Kate, so that any time she came around, Nala growled. After a while, Kate began to fear she’d be attacked, so she sent the dog back to the breeder.”

The Gosselin matriarch was also reportedly very careless about leaving stuff that the dogs shouldn’t eat lying around, including some plastic Easter eggs that the animals apparently couldn’t resist.

“There was an entire bag of them in the garbage,” Hoffman says. “Shoka was up to his waist inside of it.” After one piece of plastic too many, the poor pooch reportedly had to be rushed to the vet’s office for an emergency visit.

Hoffman claims that Kate never wanted dogs, but supposedly agreed to get them solely for the sake of better ratings for the family’s show. “The kids had been begging for pets for years but Kate was adamantly against it, until the show needed content for an episode,” Hoffman writes. “She was only nice to the dogs for the camera. As soon as filming was done, she never wanted anything to do with them. She’d tell Jon, ‘They’re yours… I’m not taking care of them.’”

For more exclusive details about the alleged shocking way Kate treated the defenseless family dogs pick up the latest issue of Star magazine on newsstands Thursday.

Say It Isn’t So! Hulk Hogan’s Family Fears ANOTHER Sex Tape Will Be Leaked

By Jon BoonRadar Reporter

Hulk Hogan’s family fears that another sex tape featuring the wrestling legend could be leaked, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

Hulk’s ex-wife Linda, his daughter Brooke and son Nick have all been put on red alert by the former WWF champ – who has confessed this isn’t the only time he’s possibly engaged in a sexual act on camera.

Hulk, 59, is now bracing himself for another storm and further embarrassment for his family.

PHOTOS: Sexy Sex Tape Celebs

“Hulk is very concerned that a new sex tape could emerge,” a source close to the family told RadarOnline.com.

“After the first video was leaked he warned Linda, Brooke and Nick that he could of been caught on camera in the past.

“The family is absolutely mortified their name has been sullied in such a tacky way. They never imagined that Hulk could drag them into such an embarrassing situation.

PHOTOS: Top Celebrity Sex Scandals

“Hulk’s admission has left the family praying that their reputation isn’t further muddied – last week was a week to forget for the Hogans, including Linda’s DUI arrest.

“But only time will tell if another sex tape finds it way on the internet. The family is certainly bracing for the worst,” the source revealed.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, new clues have emerged to who could have leaked the tape.

PHOTOS: Scandalous Hollywood Ladies

The one-minute clip that was published on Gawker shows the Hulkster baring his pasty rear-end in a sexual encounter allegedly with Heather Clem, the ex-wife of Hulk’s best friend, radio DJ Bubba the Love Sponge.

The website claimed that they didn’t pay for the sex tape and that the person who gave it to them didn’t want any money.

“Hulk didn’t leak the tape,” a source close to the wrestling icon, real name Terry Bollea, told RadarOnline.com. “He probably didn’t even have a copy of it.”

PHOTOS: 10 Stars Involved In Nude Photo Scandals

A voice on the tape is reported to be Bubba, real name Todd Alan Clem, and he and his wife Heather are possibly the only people that had copies of the tape.

Heather is refusing to speak of the tape and has told pals that she is embarrassed that the x-rated footage has found its way on the web.

The release of the tape is raising suspicions that the people involved wanted revenge on Hulk and wanted to embarrass him. Without a profit being sought, the release of the tape is mortifying, as the interactions between Hulk and Heather are less X-rated porn and more humiliating for him.

PHOTOS: The 10 Most Shocking Sin City Celebrity Scandals Of All Times

When RadarOnline.com spoke with Linda Hogan about the sex tape, she said: “I wasn’t really shocked about it” and called the sexual encounter “a little twisted.”

Speculation is growing that the only people who possibly had possession of the tape are Bubba, Heather or workers in his house who knew about it and had access, and point to people that wanted to hurt Hulk.

As more clues emerge as to the origin of the tape Hulk is preparing to take legal action against anyone trying to profit off the release of the tape.

Family Feud! Melissa Gorga Tears Into Teresa Giudice, ‘You Don’t Get To Play Victim’

By Debbie EmeryRadar Reporter

Teresa Giudice is at the epicenter of a volatile screaming match, as usual, during part two of the Real Housewives of New Jersey reunion, and RadarOnline.com has video of the explosive interaction as the hot-headed women attack her for playing the “victim” role.

The tension between the cast members has been building up all season, and it seems that both family ties and friendships may be destroyed for good after the latest round of brutal blows.

PHOTOS: Teresa Giudice Has A Self-Tanner Catastrophe

“This is 15 minutes of fame, you are going to wake up one day and be miserable,” screeches co-star Caroline Manzo, as she blames Teresa’s terrible attitude for her failed personal relationships.

“I am not going to be alone,” says Giudice, desperately defending herself.

Looking so frustrated that she was almost ripping her hair out,” Caroline tells her: “This is your family… I am on the outside looking in and it is so hurtful.”

Next up, Teresa’s estranged sister-in-law, Melissa Gorga, jumps into the ring and tells her: “You’re the one that said all the negative things, how can you sit there and bash my marriage and my man? You did all season long!

“When you finally get a taste of your own medicine, you sit over there and say ‘I can’t breath,’” mocks Melissa.

“We have to put up with your bulls**t all season long, so guess what – you don’t get to sit here and play victim! Guess who the victim is? Me. Get it straight,” screams Gorga.

“I haven’t talked to my brother in a year, that’s your fault,” bites back Teresa, who is well on her way to winning the title of most unpopular Housewife in franchise history.

“That’s your fault, you called his wife a stripper. That’s right he doesn’t speak to you, who can blame him?” Spews her furious sister-in-law.

In part one of the reunion that aired last week, Teresa made fun of Caroline’s weight woes by mocking her size. “Look at yourself, you have three rolls. Blubber, blubber, blubber. And with your tummy tuck. You couldn’t walk for four months because you were hunched over.”

Part two of the sizzling reunion special airs on Bravo on Sunday, October 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
