The week in gossip: Beyonce got the chop, Elvis' granddaughter stripped and more ...

Wow, another busy week in Gossip Land. Here are my favourite moments ...

>> Leah Remini, who recently defected from Scientology, filed a missing person report concerning the whereabouts of the wife of Church of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Rather than proving his wife ISN'T missing, lawyers issued this statement: "Mrs Miscavige has been working non-stop in the Church, as she always has. She is not a public figure and prefers her privacy. Mrs Miscavige has been seen and heard of since 2007. Any rumors to the contrary are false. Any person making such a false assertion is doing so recklessly because they do not know the facts or are lying because they wish ill for the Church, Mr. Miscavige and Mrs. Miscavige."

>> Jennifer Aniston revealed how she got in shape to play an exotic dancer in her latest movie: "Honestly it was the craziest workout," she said of exercising an hour a day, six days a week. "My diet has always been pretty clean but I think I was super, super strict, especially in terms of, I'll usually cheat once or twice a week and I just kind of didn't." Can any role be worth that?

>> Beyonce cut her hair off and the social media world went into total meltdown.

>> Tara Reid attempted to explain how sharks mate ... and it was hilarious. See the video by clicking here.

>> Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem finally named their daughter - they called her Luna Encinas Cruz - Encinas being Javier's first surname. Luna, a little sister to Leonardo, was born on July 22 - a Monday. As Monday is 'Lunes' in Spanish - the mother tongue of Penelope and Javier - this could be a possible inspiration behind the name. (Although perhaps the two actors are just really big Harry Potter fans and named her after Luna Lovegood).

According The Hollywood Reporter, Bruce wanted $4 million in salary to work four days on the film; while Sly only wanted to pay $3 million.

"I've been to rehab seven times and to two mental institutions," she told UK Cosmpolitan. "My mum even had me put in a padded cell once to scare me, but like a brat I just sat it out until she said, 'Well, that's not going to work.'"

>> Former Full House star John Stamos did the most beautiful thing for 19 year-old quadruple amputee Kaitlyn Dobrow, who had both her legs and arms amputated during her battle with meningococcemia - he visited her in hospital and promised to take her to Disneyland when she's well enough.

>> Heidi Klum ate a cronut. Or at the very least touched one. Damn her.

>> Michael Douglas took a swipe at marriage counsellors. "I know I’m going to get into trouble here. I have nothing against her and in fact I’m very fond of my first wife. But we should have ended that marriage eight or 10 years earlier," the actor told UK newspaper The Mirror. "It took me too long to realise that if you go to a marriage counsellor to resolve problems, it’s in his interest to keep the marriage going ... I think Diandra would probably say the same thing. That’s the only clear regret that I have."
