ROSIE O'DONNELL AND HER GIRLFRIEND ARE HAVING "ISSUES":

There have been rumors lately that ROSIE O'DONNELL and her wife, Kelli Carpenter, are on the verge of breaking up. Well, those rumors may not have been too far off the mark.

Rosie says they're having problems . . . but she's not ready to admit it's over. She tells "USA Today", quote, "Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues.

"Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties." --Rosie and Kelli have four children together, who range in age from 6 to 14. And Rosie says they're the priority, no matter what.

She says, quote, "[The kids] are, by far, a priority. But everything's fine and everybody's good and we're still both raising them together. We will both continue to parent them and we're friendly and everything's all right."

Meanwhile, the not-always-reliable RadarOnline.com claims that Kelli already MOVED OUT of the family's Manhattan condo months ago. --And they claim she left because she could no longer deal with Rosie's MOOD SWINGS. (--We'll let you know if any of this gets confirmed.)


WHAT HAPPENED TO LINDSEY?

LINDSAY LOHAN'S face appears to have aged about 40 years OVERNIGHT. "Us Weekly" has put together a slideshow depicting how her looks have changed over the last 10 years. (--It's pretty tragic. Check it out . . .)http://www.usmagazine.com/celebritynews/photos/lindsay-lohan-20092010


MILEY CYRUS DOESN'T MISS TWITTER:

It's been two weeks since MILEY CYRUS quit Twitter and the world stopped turning. And if you're one of the MILLIONS of people who are feeling her absence, I have bad news for you: She's still not interested in coming back. --In a radio interview earlier this week she said, quote, "I really haven't missed it.

"I thought I was going to miss it a lot more than I do, but I haven't even really looked at other people's, which is really weird. I don't really miss it. It's kind of odd." --She also reiterated that her (alleged) boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, was NOT the cause of her defection. It was more about how Twitter was affecting the rest of her life.

She said, quote, "It was 3:30 or 4 in the morning. I couldn't sleep. [I thought], 'Maybe I could sleep if I wasn't so friggin' busy twittering about not being able to sleep.'"


HULK HOGAN'S DIVORCE ALMOST DROVE HIM TO SUICIDE . . . BUT APPARENTLY, LAILA ALI HELPED KEEP HIM ALIVE:

HULK HOGAN almost didn't survive his divorce from his wife LINDA. --Of course it didn't help that Linda had shacked up with a 19-year-old kid.

In his new book, "My Life Outside the Ring", Hulk says he was in such a funk that he almost KILLED HIMSELF. --He writes, quote, "There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy." --It got so bad that Hulk even put a loaded gun to his head. He says, quote, "Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it. -"I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger . . . and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction I would have blown my brains out."

Hulk says he got his head straight by turning to Christ . . . and LAILA ALI. --Hulk believes that a phone call to Laila following that incident really helped him turn things around. (--Hulk and Laila co-hosted the new version of "American Gladiators" last year.)

Laila says she doesn't remember that particular call . . . but she says, quote, "I think that was just divine intervention." --She adds, quote, "I do remember working with Hulk and he was going through a hard time, going through a divorce with his wife. --"I did call him from time to time when we were shooting the show for whatever reason and I did offer him lots of words of inspiration and support."

Laila also recommended Hulk go to her church in Los Angeles. She says, quote, "He loved it. He kept going. I remember I ran into him there."


A SECURITY VEHICLE FOLLOWING MICHAEL JACKSON'S KIDS WAS INVOLVED IN A HIT-AND-RUN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY:

MICHAEL JACKSON'S kids were SORT OF involved in a hit-and-run accident yesterday in the San Fernando Valley. --The kids were being driven to a karate class . . . and they were being followed by a vehicle containing their security guards.

Well, a paparazzi scumbag who was trying to follow the kids rear-ended the security vehicle . . . then drove off without stopping. --Police are investigating . . . and the kids are fine. (--By the way . . . I would just like to take a moment to call out both TMZ and Radar Online for initially posting details of this story that were FLAT-OUT UNTRUE.)

RANDY JACKSON SAYS THE SIGNATURE ON MICHAEL'S WILL COULD BE A FORGERY:

It's no secret that the Jackson Family has been quietly trying to find a way to circumvent the terms of MICHAEL'S will and take power away from his chosen executors, John Branca and John McClane.

Well, this might be part of that effort: RANDY JACKSON claims that the signature on Michael's will ISN'T REALLY HIS. --See, the date of the signature on the will is July 7th, 2002. And it was supposedly signed in L.A.

Bur Randy says that Michael was in New York City from the 5th through the 9th, protesting against the music industry and its treatment of black artists. --As you may recall, Michael gave a speech at REVEREND AL SHARPTON'S National Action Network, during which he launched a PERSONAL attack against Sony boss Tommy Mottola. --He called Mottola mean, racist and, quote, "very, very, very devilish."

Sharpton did NOT support Michael's claims about Mottola at the time. But he might have Michael's back now. His rep confirms that he and Michael were in New York together on July 6th and the 9th. --As for the day in question . . . July 7th . . . Sharpton's rep says, quote, "We have reason to believe that Michael may have been in New York on the 7th and Reverend Sharpton will address this after he discusses it with the Jackson family."

However . . . A lawyer for Michael's estate says there were witnesses who watched Michael sign it. He didn't say WHERE it was signed.


TIME FOR MIRACLES

ADAM LAMBERT has released a video for his single, "Time for Miracles" . . . and since the song is from the soundtrack to the upcoming movie "2012", there's plenty of ridiculous, apocalyptic special effects in the video.

(--Check it out, here . . .)http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=64424781(--"Time for Miracles" probably won't be on Adam's debut album, "For Your Entertainment", which hits stores on November 23rd.)
