Is Mel Gibson the father of Jodie Foster’s two sons, Charlie, 14, and Kit, 12? That’s what the New York Post is speculating, claiming Hollywood insiders are questioning whether Gibson donated his sperm to Foster, especially after she thanked him in her Golden Globes speech by saying, “you know, you save me too.” Insiders believe that if Gibson was indeed the father, it could explain why Jodie has been loyal to him over the years, despite his awful behavior. But a source close to Gibson denies he’s the dad. A friend of the actor tells Gossip Cop any speculation about the kids’ paternity is false and “so stupid.”

Katie Couric has landed the first on-air interview with Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o. Te’o spoke to ESPN’s Jeremy Schaap on Friday but it was not on camera. Manti insisted he was not involved in the hoax involving his fake girlfriend Lennay Kekua. Couric’s interview with Te’o and his family will air on Thursday.
The man allegedly behind the hoax involving Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o and his fake girlfriend reportedly tried out for The Voice, and peddled another elaborate, possibly phony, story. Us Weekly reports that Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, the alleged mastermind behind Te’o’s non-existent girlfriend Lennay Kekua, tried out for the upcoming season of the NBC singing competition. He reportedly told producers he and his cousins started a Christian band together and while traveling to a youth conference in Nevada, they were in a “massive” freeway accident that almost left one of them brain dead. “He had this insane sob story before (he sang),” claimed a source. “It would make for great TV.” Unfortunately for Ronaiah, the judges weren’t impressed with his version of Matisyahu’s “One Day,” and passed on him.
