Hollywood Scandals and Gossip

The Christy Martin saga continues to grow stranger and more sordid. This much we know:

Martin, a former boxing champion, was shot and stabbed last week. She survived the attack and told police her husband, James, was behind it. James then stabbed himself yesterday. Seriously.

Now, according to a sheriff's report obtained by TMZ, Martin has stated the reason why her husband went off in the first place: she told James she was leaving him for a woman named Sherry.

In Martin's official statement, she told police she had been staying in a hotel during the days leading up to this violent incident. Allegedly, James was already aware his wife was having an affair and had threatened to release "incriminating videos of her over YouTube" in light of this news.

When Christy told James she was officially leaving him for Sherry, he took out a knife and and a black handgun that he kept in the house.

It's unclear how Christy got away from her attacker, but she made it outside, flagged down a car and arrived at the hospital in time to share her side of the story with authorities.

Alexis Neiers of E!'s Pretty Wild fame was just arrested for a probation violation and authorities say she was in possession of black tar heroin when busted.

Neiers never checked in for probation after being released from jail in July (always a smart move), so this morning, cops decided to visit her at home.

Black tar heroin, an extremely potent form of that drug, was discovered on the premises, and immediately Neiers was placed under arrest as a result.

Alexis Neiers is still on probation for burglarizing celebrity homes in L.A. last year, so this new arrest could lead to some serious time in the slammer.

She was also found with a fake Florida driver's license and was booked on a probation violation, possession of a controlled substance, and perjury.

Forget using heroin ... all you have to do is check in with the probation officer, Alexis! How hard is that? You KNOW they'll look for you otherwise!

An explosive tabloid report this morning claims that Britney Spears was assaulted by her boyfriend Jason Trawick, and that she was pregnant at the time.

He also cheated on the pop star with a teenager, supposedly.

A main source cited in this Star Magazine cover story is Jason Alexander, Brit's former husband (albeit for less than three days) way back in the day ...

STARTLING ALLEGATION: Was Britney Spears attacked by Jason Trawick?

Doctored or not, the cover does show a photo of Britney’s black eye, which Jason Trawick allegedly provided after she accused him of straying.

Perhaps most shockingly, on top of the beatdown, the magazine claims Britney Spears was pregnant with his baby at the time ... and no longer is?

While it's impossible to believe much that Star says, this is unusually inflammatory, borderline libelous stuff to concoct and run for no reason.

What do you think? Could there be any truth to this whatsoever? Spears' official site hasn't denied it on its "BS Alert" ... yet. Stay tuned.
