  A person close to the couple says they are now together in Paris. The person insisted on speaking anonymously, noting the subject’s sensitivity.

  The 33-year-old Shakira said in various interviews in 2009 that she was ready to have babies.

  Maxim, the bawdy men’s magazine, isn’t exactly known for the modesty of its cover subjects. But at least one observer says that the February issue featuring “Perfect Couples” star Olivia Munn wearing little more than a pair of verrrry transparent lace panties is going a bit too far.

  “It’s disgusting,” Dan Gainor, Vice President of Business & Culture at the Media Research Center, tells FOX411.“Maxim has moved their magazine from tawdry to full-on pornography.”

  With America now privy to Munn’s personal grooming habits, Gainor predicts that retailers will race to put the offending issue under the counter.

  “Any store could have children coming in. If I were a parent, and I walked into a store and saw that cover, I would make a scene until the manager hid it,” Gainor said.

  Calls to Maxim for comment was not immediately returned.

  One woman in Hollywood who John Mayer hasn’t dated?

  That would be Food Network star Giada De Laurentiis.

  The “Everyday Italian” star debunks rumors once and for all that she hooked up with Mayer in the February issue of Redbook.

  “I was shocked,” the tiny chef says of her reaction to reading reports that she and the notorious ladies’ man were canoodling. “What made it all even more surprising is that I haven’t had any contact with John Mayer in three years. You know how you’ll briefly get introduced to somebody? Maybe we chatted for five minutes, but I wouldn’t consider that intimate… I think the only things that could have possibly have tied us together is that we were at the same hotel that weekend in question–which, by the way, my husband was with me there as well.”

  De Laurentiis knows a thing or two about keeping her husband happy. The Emmy-award winning personality reveals, “All men want to be treated like kings in a relationship.” She warns, “I think if women don’t indulge that sometimes, their men are likely to stray and look for someone who can give that to them.”

  Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may boycott Oscars over Anne Hathaway diss, report claims

  FOX 411 | Editor

  

  The 83rd Annual Academy Awards is gearing up to be the most star-studded event of the year, but one couple who may be noticeably absent is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, whose beef with hostess Anne Hathaway may keep them from the show.

  According to a report from the U.K. Daily Mail, Cruise and Holmes are so furious with Hathaway that they want to avoid any confrontation with her.

  Hathaway, 28, appeared on “Saturday Night Live” back in November, where she mimicked Holmes in a sketch.

  Tom Hardy is not Lindsay Lohan's sober mentor, rep says

  Tom Hardy in 'Inception.'

   

  Lindsay Lohan has been out of rehab for less than a week, and so far the troubled actress has managed to stay out of trouble.

  TMZ.com reports one reason may be “Inception” star Tom Hardy. They say Hardy, who sources tell FOX411 has been sober since 2003, met Lohan through mutual friends, and that he is acting as her “sober mentor.”

  However, a rep for Hardy tells FOX411.com that the report is inaccurate, and that Hardy is not her “sober mentor.”

  Regardless of whether Hardy is one or not, what exactly does a “sober mentor” do?

  “A sober mentor helps recovering addicts get integrated into a sober lifestyle,” Rick Parrish, president of Sober Escorts Incorporated, tells FOX411.com. “For someone who is early in recovery, they may find that they have too much time on their hands. A sober mentor can help them get back in to hiking, biking, and swimming—doing things that release natural endorphins and showing them that being sober doesn’t have to be boring.”

  Kraft debuts commercial featuring Ted Williams

  (AP)

  Voice-over’s hottest success story Ted Williams just got a little more cheesy.

  But not in the way you’re thinking.

  Kraft debuted their first commercial featuring the formerly homeless YouTube sensation Friday, with Williams doing voice-over work for Homestyle Macaroni and Cheese.

  Lynna Galia, a spokeswoman for Kraft, told the Chicago Tribune that they were taken with Williams after seeing his YouTube video and hired him to work on four commercials.

  “We were moved by his story and his amazing voice,” Galia said, adding that Williams’ voice is “perfectly suited” for the ad campaign. “We were in the middle of making our TV spots and in a unique position to help Ted use his great voice and also provide him employment.”

  Kanye West angers the Twitterverse with big 'ol mink coat

  Once again, Kanye West has whipped the Twitterverse into a frenzy.

  This time, however, the controversial rapper didn’t upstage a teenage country singer or berate a morning show host.

  Instead, a photo of West exiting a building in a seriously massive, apparently mink coat was posted online, incurring the wrath of thousands of Twitter followers for his un-PC cold-weather gear.

  PHOTOS: Check out Kanye’s toasty coat.

  “I think its absolutely disgusting that @kanyewest wears a mink fur, leather pants, and gator shoes,” @MsJBRZL tweeted. “How many poor animals did he kill for 1/2 an outfit? Smh!”

  Top model Joanna Krupa compared Kanye to the devil with her tweet on Wednesday, and tells FOX411.com exclusively, “If Kanye is wearing a real fur coat — and that’s what it looks like — then I think he’s a man without heart, soul or any common sense.”

  Krupa, an avid animal rights activist, added that “It looks pathetic: He looks like a mutated, two-legged stuffed animal. Anyone who thinks wearing fur is elevating one’s sex-appeal or status must have deep rooted self-esteem issues.”

  Kanye West has not responded to FOX411.com’s request for comment, and has been uncharacteristically silent on Twitter.

  Which has one Twitter fan worried.

  @theDarrenNelson joked, “@kanyewest where you at? Did PETA kill you for wearing that mink haha.”

  Ha. Ha?

  VOTE: Will court ruling lead to more naked bodies on network TV?

  An appeals court  vacated over a million dollars in fines that the FCC levied against ABC after the broadcast actress Charlotte Ross’ naked bottom in a 2003 episode of “NYPD Blue.”

  Now some say the ruling could pave the way for more nudity on broadcast television, as there is no specific FCC prohibition of such in the first place.

  EXCLUSIVE: Camille Grammer's friend confirms 'RHOBH' exit, suspects co-stars or producers behind porn email

  After an explosive reunion show taping, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is losing its most talked-about star.

  Kelsey Grammer’s soon to be ex-wife, Camille, will not be returning for a second season of the hit reality show about the lives of six pampered Southern California socialites.

  “That’s my understanding,” Grammer’s friend, the Hollywood psychic Allison DuBois, confirms to FOX411.com exclusively. “Camille is glad the reunion is over. She never has to see those women again if she doesn’t want to. It was an eight-hour taping—I don’t know how she handled that.”

  PHOTOS: Celebrity Porn Star Lookalikes.

  Fans of the show know that there is no love lost between Grammer and “Real Housewives” costar Kyle Richards. The two lovely ladies never quite hit it off, but their relationship deteriorated rapidly after Bravo aired Grammer’s “dinner party from hell,” hosted at her lavish Malibu estate.

  “I was completely shocked when I saw the episode,” DuBois told FOX411.com. “Camille brought the DVD over the night before it aired so that we could watch it together, and I was just horrified.”
