LAUREN SPIERER MYSTERY DEEPENS

Bloomington cops found a bag of clothes behind a trash bin at the apartment complex of missing Indiana U student Lauren Spierer.

A security officer discovered the bag of men’s and women’s clothes on the sixth floor. Law enforcement is viewing surveillance footage to see who placed the bag.

Friday marked two weeks since the petite blonde co-ed disappeared after an outing at a local sport bar with pals.

She was last seen in the early hours of the morning walking toward her apartment.  Lauren had left her shoes and cell phone at the bar, The ENQUIRER reported previously.

A seg on last week’s "America’s Most Wanted" generated tips with zero results.

Texas Equusearch, a volunteer group, which assisted in the hunts for both Caylee Anthony and Natalee Holloway, joined the search yesterday.

Bloomington police Capt. Joe Qualters said police received more than 1,000 tips in the past two weeks including 500 tips about a mysterious white truck caught on surveillance video in the vicinity where Lauren was last seen.

"The bottom line is we still have a missing person," Qualters said. "Our efforts to find Lauren will not stop."

Lauren’s father, Robert Spierer said, "Get the courage to come forward to tell us anything you know, no matter how small or insignificant you may think it to be," he said. "Please come forward."

"America's Most Wanted" will again feature Spierer's case on its show Saturday.

Spierer is blonde weighs about 90 pounds and is 4 feet 11 inches tall.

Anyone with information can call 812-339-4477, police said.

ROB LOWE inks deal to play accused murderer DREW PETERSON in a shocking no-holds- barred docudrama.

The  notorious Peterson, the subject of much tabloid fodder, is the former Bolingbrook, Illinois police sergeant  currently awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to the murder of his third wife.

Peterson remains a prime suspect in the murder of 4th wife, Stacy Peterson, who disappeared in 2007, despite much ballyhooed protestations of innocence.

Lowe will bring Peterson's tale of alleged murder and degradation in a new TV movie for  Lifetime.

SOCK IT TO HER! GOLDIE TRASHED BY EX-HUBBY

 Goldie Hawn was a cocaine-using bed-hopper who spent more time working on her career than being a mother to her actress-daughter Kate Hudson. Those are just some of the shocking charges fired off by the star’s ex-husband in a blockbuster new book to be published this fall.

Bill Hudson – a member of the ’70s pop band The Hudson Brothers – paints a dark, unflattering picture of the “Private Benjamin” and “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” star, according to a publishing source familiar with the contents of “So You Are A Star.”

Even before writing the scathing book, Hudson has long been bit­ter over the fact Kate con­siders Goldie’s longtime part­ner Kurt Russell her dad instead of him.

In the book, Bill reveals that he met Goldie on a plane trip from New York to Los Angeles – and on their second date back in 1975, they went to see the Rolling Stones in Los Angeles. It was there, Bill claims, that he first saw Goldie use drugs, including cocaine and marijuana.

Bill writes: “A joint got passed to Goldie, and she took a giant toke. By around song three of the set, Goldie was dancing with people in the aisles. A huge plate of cocaine came by and she took a huge snort.”

The two be­came lovers, and Bill details how she almost derailed their romance by ad­mitting she was also in a rela­tionship. Bill says Goldie told him she loved him but believed in “open” relationships.

Despite the turmoil between them, they married in 1976.

The couple had two children: Oliver in 1976 and Kate in 1979 – but the kids  soon took a back seat .

“Her priorities shifted when she started filming ‘Foul Play’ with Chevy Chase, and our kids were left as No. 2 priority,” Hudson wrote. “I couldn’t believe I was seeing that.”

In the past few weeks, the 73-year-old star has had a hec­tic schedule.

REVENGE OF THE BACHELORETTE!

BACHELEORETTE Ashley Hebert was publicly humiliated by the show’s bad-boy suitor Bentley Wil­liams, but she ended up getting the last laugh because his life is in ruins!

Bentley’s desperate attempt to woo back his ex-wife Suzette Davis has fizzled, and because of his boorish behavior on the show, he’s now the most-hated man in “Bachelorette” history!

As for 27-year-old Ashley, she couldn’t be more pleased with the way things worked out for Bentley ever since he walked off the show after trash-talking her during his private interviews, insiders tell The ENQUIRER.

“Looking back, Ashley is glad she wore her heart on her sleeve,” revealed a source.

“Without re­alizing it, she showed the world Bentley’s true colors.”

Bentley’s coldhearted behavior toward Ashley – he cared more about his hair than breaking Ash­ley’s heart – was also a wakeup call for his ex-wife Suzette.

“She saw what Bentley was really like when he said, ‘I’m going to make Ashley cry. I hope my hair looks good,’” said an insider.

“He’s been desperate to get back with Suzette, and she was consider­ing it because he is their daughter’s father.

“But when she saw how he treated Ashley on the show, she realized she could never spend time with any man who could do what Bentley did.”

EXCLUSIVE! COPS: CASEY TORTURED CAYLEE!

Sources told The ENQUIRER cops believe that little, Caylee Anthony was tortured by her evil mom Casey, who watched her 2-year-old child slowly die just feet away from the toddler’s treasured playhouse and sandbox.

“Caylee’s final minutes were filled with terror,” a source close to the police investigation told The ENQUIRER. June 16, 2008 – the last day of Caylee’s life – was a hot day in Orlando.

Casey and Caylee left their home just before 1 p.m., before grandpa George Anthony went to work. Within an hour or so, after her dad left, po­lice believe that Casey drove back to the house and backed the vehicle into the garage.

“Police are convinced that Casey took Caylee to the backyard and told the child she could go for a swim in the backyard pool,” said the source.

“The day before, Casey’s mom Cindy had gone swimming with Caylee and afterward had removed the above-ground pool’s attachable ladder for safety. Casey put it back on. Caylee loved to swim and was probably excited.”

Police believe Casey told Caylee she was going to go inside the home to get her swimsuit. In­stead, she returned with duct tape, a syringe and a Gatorade bottle filled with a chloroform mix­ture she’d prepared and kept hidden in a Disney bag.

According to testimony at Casey’s ongoing death penalty trial, the murder mom had used her com­puter to research ways to make chloroform at home.

What happened to Caylee next was pure torture.

“Police believe Casey grabbed Caylee and wrapped duct tape around her mouth so she wouldn’t scream,” said the source. “She put her daughter on the ground, sat over her, took out the syringe, filled it with the chloroform mixture and inject­ed it into Caylee.

“As Caylee lost conscious­ness, Casey wrapped more duct tape around her skull to cover her nose so she couldn’t breathe, and watched her little girl die.”

Casey put Caylee in a laun­dry bag, and then stuffed that bag into a garbage bag. She placed her daughter’s lifeless body in her car’s trunk and drove off. For some reason, she didn’t dispose of the body for several days, causing the trunk to fill with the stench of decomposition.

When Casey’s remains were found in an empty lot in December 2008, the Gatorade bottle, syringe and Disney bag were found a few feet from the child’s skull. Her head was wrapped in duct tape.

At the trial, prosecutors said Casey asphyxiated her daughter with the duct tape and introduced evi­dence that shows traces of chloroform in the trunk of Casey’s car. They also revealed that police cadaver dogs detected the smell of a dead body on a spot in the Anthony backyard just feet from Caylee’s playhouse and sand­box – the exact place where the little girl is believed to have died.

LADY GAGA TARGETED BY “JERK” EMINEM

 EMINEM has a new target in his sights – LADY GAGA!

The controversial Detroit rapper – who has bashed Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera AND Jessica Simpson, in his lyrics – has now taken aim at Lady Gaga.

Eminem, 38, mocks the singer – who recently eclipsed Oprah Winfrey as “Forbes” magazine’s “The World’s Most Powerful Celebrity” – in his new song, “A Kiss.”

 In the lyrics, he refers to her as a “mail lady” – a reference to the unconfirmed rumor that Gaga is a hermaphrodite, a person with both male and female sex organs.

Gaga has denied the rumors over the last couple of years, but thanks to Eminem they will likely gain new life.

He insists that thesong is just a joke and a pun – using “mail” instead of “male.”

But sources close to Gaga, 25, say she regards Eminem as a “jerk”.

NICK & VANESSA BABY SECRET

VANESSA MINNILLO and fiancé NICK LACHEY have a secret!

After five years together, Vanessa Minnillo has not only convinced fiance Nick Lachey to finally walk down the aisle… she also has him agreeing to her baby plans!

“Even Nick says it’s amazing how Vanessa can get him to come around to the things she wants in life – all it takes is a sexy wink or a sad puppy dog face and he’s putty in her hands,” a close friend told The ENQUIRER. “They’ve been together for five years and he’s more in love than ever.”

Still, getting Nick, 37, to agree to fatherhood was no small feat – especially since it took so long for the gun-shy former boy-bander to commit to marriage after his painful d i v o r c e from Jessica Simpson in 2006.

Now that asummer wed­ding seems to be a sure thing, Vanessa, 30, has suddenly shifted her focus to motherhood.

“The dynamic of their relationship has changed – the timeline for starting a family has been moved up, and Vanessa would like to be pregnant by fall,” the friend said.

And it seems like Nick is on the same page.

“He’s ready to step up to the plate,” added the pal.

WEINER RESIGNS AFTER ENQUIRER’S CROSS-DRESSING PHOTO!

Scandal-plagued New York Congressman ANTHONY WEINER resigned today after The NATIONAL ENQUIRER published a shocking cover photo of him wearing women’s lingerie!

Caught strutting his stuff in a bra and women’s hose, the world exclusive photo is seen in the upper right –hand corner of the new print edition of The Enquirer, which began hitting newsstands yesterday.

Within hours of publication, Weiner’s office announced he would speak to reporters. 

The 46-year-old married lawmaker – who has a baby on the way -- annpounced at a 2 PM new conference that he had made the decision to give up his House seat and resign.

Our website, NationalEnquirer.com, is now revealing the stunning Enquirer cover to the world containing the embarrassing photo that apparently was the final straw for Weiner after three weeks of disclosures that helped to destroy his reputation and make him an international laughingstock.

The ENQUIRER – depicting Weiner in women’s undergarments and another pic of him in skintight swim briefs – was snapped by a college pal in 1982, when the-then 18-year-old Weiner was enrolled in the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

The scandal erupted on May 28 when a conservative website posted a lewd photo of an underwear-clad crotch and said it had been sent from Weiner’s Twitter account to a Seattle woman.

After initially lying and saying his account had been hacked, Weiner finally acknowledged that he had engaged in several “sexting” relationships with women on the Internet.

The Democratic politician also confirmed exchanging Twitter messages with a 17-year-old girl from Delaware, but police said nothing inappropriate appeared in their texts.

Weiner, who had refused to resign amid an ethics investigation, had recently entered a treatment facility to deal with his “sex addiction.” His pregant wife Huma, was noticably absent from the presser.

To see The ENQUIRER’s shocking photos of Weiner in more detail – and to read the full details on his secret cross-dressing past -- pick up a copy of the new print issue today!

SARAH PALIN PREGNANCY SECRETS

White House wannabe SARAH PALIN is hiding a dark secret from her conservative sup­porters – three generations of her family, including Sarah herself, have gotten pregnant outside of wed­lock!

In the blockbuster new book “The Lies of Sarah Palin,” best-selling author Geoffrey Dunne reveals both Sarah and her mom Sally Heath were expecting on their wedding day.

And as any political junkie or “Dancing with the Stars” fan knows, Sarah’s daughter Bristol is still an unwed mom.

“Sarah Palin’s support of ‘ab­stinence before marriage’ is the epitome of hypocrisy!”

Dunne told The ENQUIRER. A copy of the marriage license of Sarah’s parents, Charles and Sally Heath, obtained by The ENQUIRER, shows they were mar­ried July 29, 1961, in Sandpoint, Idaho.

According to Dunne’s book, “their first child, Charles Jr., was born a little more than six months later, on Feb. 7, 1962.”

Sarah married Todd Palin on Aug. 29, 1988.

But Dunne writes: “Their first child, Track Palin, was born on April 20, 1989, seven months and three weeks following their marriage.”

Sarah’s then 18-year-old daughter Bristol gave birth to boyfriend Levi Johnston’s baby, son Tripp, in December 2008.

“Not only has Palin passed her hypocrisy on to her daughter Bristol, she’s passed on her oppor­tunism as well,” sniffed Dunne.

BRITNEY SPEARS: STILL UNDER DADDY’s THUMB

BRITNEY SPEARS new Femme Fatale tour in Sacramento remains firmly entrenched beneath under the iron rule of her father.

Britney's father Jamie still maintains conservatorship over his daughter and her business affairs, RadarOnline.com reports.

The conservatorship has been in place since 2008 after several very public meltdowns which resulted in Britney being placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold.

A source said "The conservatorship won't be ending this year because everything is going well.

"Britney is on tour again, which she truly loves. This would be the worst time to make a change, while she is on the road, and is in unfamiliar surroundings.

"Is it ideal? No, but she now knows how fragile her mental health is, and that her dad Jamie, truly only wants what is best for his little girl.

"Do they fight? Absolutely!”

A European tour would last no more than 60 days, but the presiding judge handling the conservatorship would have to ultimately sign off on it before Britney could actually commit to cities and dates.

COCAINE WHISPERS HEIGHTEN SPIERER MANHUNT

Indiana cops intensify dragnet for missing coed LAUREN SPIERER as rumors of cocaine use surface, The ENQUIRER has learned. 

Within hours of the petite blonde student’s disappearance Indiana authorities said they suspected foul play, grilling college pals who were the last to see Lauren, 20, alive.

Surveillance cameras captured a mysterious van in the vicinity of the sports bar where Lauren had partying prior to her baffling disappearance.

But now, Indiana media reports that state troopers are following up on rumors that Spierer may have died from an overdose resulting from heavy drinking and cocaine use

Lauren, who is 4-foot-11 and weighs less than 100 pounds, has Long QT syndrome, a heart rhythm disorder in which the heart takes longer to recharge after each beat.

Lauren’s medical condition can lead to fainting, seizures or potential sudden death but factor in the use of coke and booze and the absence of medication and death can come suddenly.

The beta blocker "blunts the adrenaline response in the body," Dr. Patrick Thomas, chief of cardiology at Hudson Valley Hospital Center in Cortlandt, Ill. explained.

He said alcohol can influence the risk of a heart rhythm disturbance because of the loss of potassium and magnesium if the person urinates frequently.

Cocaine poses an even greater risk because it the body responds as if it is pure adrenaline, Thomas said.

"It substantially compounds the risk of heart rhythm disturbances," he said. "That combination would be very dangerous in someone with Long QT syndrome."

Spierer was a known drinker, and in September, 2011, she was arrested and charged with public intoxication and illegal consumption of an alcoholic beverage.

 Her roommate, Hadar Tamir, told cops that she was unaware of Lauren’s heart condition until Jesse Wolff, Spierer's boyfriend, brought it to her attention after Lauren vanished.

Meanwhile, the dredge of a nearby lake netted zero results despite a proliferation of tips following a seg on “America’s Most Wanted”.

Bristol Palin Lost Virginity Drunk, On Wine Coolers

22 minutes ago by TMZ Staff   The night Bristol Palin lost her V card to Levi Johnston was not real romantic -- She was drunk on wine coolers, didn't remember a thing, and when she woke up ... Levi had split.  Oh  young love!



In excerpts from her memoir, "Not Afraid of Life: My Journey So Far," Bristol says she and Levi used condoms, but she got knocked up anyway. Levi's reaction when she broke the news -- "Better be a f**king boy."


Bristol says her mom was kinda shocked, because she had no idea Bristol was sexually active.


When the doctors asked Levi -- a real wordsmith -- to cut the cord, he responded by saying, "gross," and backed off.  The honors were left to Sarah.


Bristol goes on to say Levi cheated on her constantly, coming home drunk,  with hickeys on his neck. She says she finally ended things when Levi told her he got another girl pregnant and that Levi named the child Bentley, which was her first choice when they were naming Tripp.


The book comes out on Tuesday -- Levi's memoir comes out in the fall.


Move over, "Outliers."

The course was required by a judge after the pair filed for bankruptcy during that whole securities fraud mess last year ... in which they allegedly set up a phony company to generate bogus stock sales.


Wilcox -- best known for playing Jon Baker on "CHiPs" back in the day -- pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and was sentenced to three years probation and 500 hours of community service.


The two completed their courses on Monday -- we're hoping they celebrated at a reasonably priced restaurant.

Halle's Baby Daddy In NYC -- On HER Dime

3/9/2011 6:28 AM PST by TMZ Staff   Halle Berry isn't just a baby mama ... she's a sugar mama ... because she's PAYING for Gabriel Aubry to live the HIGH LIFE in NYC this week ... just so he can spend some time with their daughter.


Sources connected to the couple tell us ... Halle paid for Gabriel's flight and is also footing the bill to put him up at the super-fancy London Hotel in Midtown while she films her movie, "New Year's Eve," in the city.


As TMZ first reported, Aubry tried to stop Halle from bringing Nahla to NYC -- but a judge told Gabriel that he knew what he was getting into when he started dating one of the biggest movie stars on Earth ... and ruled against him.


Even though she won in court, Halle agreed to pay for Gabriel's trip anyway ... and who's really gonna turn down the London?!?

Charlie Sheen's Poetic Masterpiece -- 'F**k It'

3/9/2011 12:15 AM PST by TMZ Staff   Charlie Sheen was dropping wisdom long before he made the word "winning" ubiquitous (and annoying) -- TMZ's obtained a copy of "F**k It" ... an original poem Sheen penned back in '96. Deep.


The poem's opening lines are pretty ironic ... considering unemployed Charlie's current situation -- "Keep it light; Keep it tight; Know what's right - Choose your fight."


We're told Charlie scribbled the poem on a blank page in the back of his book of poetry -- "A Peace of My Mind" -- and then handed it to a friend on New Year's Eve in '96.


The closing lines -- "It's up [to] the man with a steady plan, to star in that final show."


Yeah ... so much for that.

Mel Gibson Strikes Plea Deal -- NO JAIL TIME

35 minutes ago by TMZ Staff   Mel Gibson has struck an agreement with prosecutors and has made a plea deal in his looming criminal case ... sources connected with the L.A. County District Attorney tell TMZ ... and Mel will not get jail time.


Our sources say Mel will appear in court Friday and will plead no contest to simple battery -- a lesser charge than corporal injury on a spouse. 


As we first reported, Mel had been agonizing over the impending criminal charge -- related to the January 6, 2010 blowout with Oksana Grigorieva -- worried that a prolonged court fight would be a strain on his family, particularly his children.  We're told ... even though Mel believed he could win the case -- he struck the deal to protect his loved ones.


We're told the deal involves counseling but NO JAIL TIME.


When contacted for a response, Mel's lawyer, Blair Berk, released the following statement to TMZ:  "I know from almost 20 years as a criminal defense lawyer that sometimes justice can come for a client at too high a personal price.  That is particularly so for Mel, whose right to due process can only be exercised in this case with an enormous media circus attached."


Berk goes on, "Mel's priority throughout all of this has been that the best interests of his young daughter Lucia and the rest of his children be put first in any decisions made.  It is with only that in mind that he asked me to approach the District Attorney with a proposal that would bring all of this to an immediate end."

Saints Star -- Mardi Gras PARTY with Super Bowl Ring

3/9/2011 12:20 AM PST by TMZ Staff   New Orleans Saints running back Pierre Thomas celebrated Mardi Gras like a champ -- seriously, the guy threw a party for 1,500 people ... and rocked his Super Bowl ring the ENTIRE TIME.


Sources connected with the party tell TMZ, Pierre wasn't just celebrating Fat Tuesday -- the guy just signed a 4-year $12,000,000 contract extension last week ... and wanted to let loose with his teammates.


We're told the party -- which went down at Metropolitan nightclub in The Big Easy -- featured 8 DJs, 2 dance floors, a dessert bar, and 15 go-go dancers ... not too shabby.


We thought it was bad luck to wear your Championship ring all the time -- but clearly, that theory doesn't hold water.

Mel's Dilemma: Fight Charge or Protect Family

3/9/2011 1:00 AM PST by TMZ Staff   Sources directly connected to Mel Gibson tell TMZ ... he's aware he's going to be charged with a crime, and is "agonizing" over the prospect of putting his family through a public, knock-down, drag-out trial.


We're told Mel is confident he will only be charged with a low-level misdemeanor.  Nonetheless, he is uncertain if he has the stomach to endure a 1-year legal fight and is worried about the impact it will have on his children.


As TMZ has already reported, Mel will be criminally charged with a misdemeanor over the January 6, 2010 blowout between him and Oksana Grigorieva.


We're told the D.A. will file charges against Mel this week -- very possibly today.

No word on how much cash is on the table. So far, we're told Hirsch has yet to hear back.

LeBron Jordan Sues LeBron and Jordan

3/8/2011 2:20 PM PST by TMZ Staff   LeBron James and Michael Jordan have been sued for $150 million -- EACH! -- by a company claiming the basketball stars ruined its business by poisoning its name in the public.


A company called Lebron Jordan, Inc. claims that James' and Jordan's reps at Nike and Live Nation torpedoed a multimillion dollar deal by threatening to sue LJI unless it stopped selling a line of basketball shoes under the "Lebron Jordan" name. 


LJI insists in the lawsuit, filed yesterday in federal court in New York, that it had every right to market its shoes under the "Lebron Jordan" name.  LJI points out that no one has trademarked the words "Lebron" and "Jordan" together, and "you could not even find that name combination on Google."


As a result of the negative publicity ... LJI claims it has been damaged to the tune of $900 million.

Tareq Salahi -- 'Rehab' ILLEGALLY Fired My Wife

3/9/2011 6:14 AM PST by TMZ Staff   Alleged White House crasher Tareq Salahi is hinting that he may SUE "Celebrity Rehab" ... claiming the show illegally fired his wife because of her "health condition."

Team Salahi says they will announce more details about their gripe later today.


Earlier this week, Tareq told reporters that his wife's only addiction was "chocolate" -- leaving many wondering why she was even on the show in the first place.

Lindsay Lohan: I Ain't Pleading to Nothin'

3/9/2011 12:45 AM PST by TMZ Staff   Lindsay Lohan is steadfast .... she's not plea bargaining her felony grand theft case.


We got Lindsay Tuesday night going to her agent's office and asked if she'd accept a plea deal -- which the judge has already said would involve jail time.  Lindsay appears to nod in the negative.


It's an interesting situation ... we've learned Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holley and prosecutor Danette Meyers are meeting with Judge Keith Schwartz Wednesday to discuss a plea bargain.  Judge Schwartz has made it clear -- any plea deal will put Lindsay behind bars ... the only question is for how long.


Lindsay must appear in court on Thursday.  If she doesn't accept a plea deal, the case will be assigned to Judge Stephanie Sautner for trial, and the stakes for Lindsay then go up dramatically.
