"Completely unfounded and ridiculous" is how Hunter describes a National Enquirer story claiming she has a love child with Edwards -- and that she was recently visited by the married Edwards at a Los Angeles hotel.
In early 2007, Hunter opened up about her relationship with the former presidential candidate, explaining she produced a series of campaign Internet videos for Edwards after meeting randomly in a New York bar.
"Meeting John Edwards was interesting," she told us. "He was very real and authentic. He was inspirational to me." She added, "I was around him a lot. It was great. We went to Africa. The whole experience was life altering for me."
When asked about the allegations today in Houston, Edwards called the stories "tabloid trash," adding, "They're full of lies."]]>
New twists to Christian Bale's assault arrest are surfacing in London. Reportedly, the clash between "The Dark Knight" and his family at the Dorchester hotel is said to be part of a long-running feud which began when the young Bale chose to live with his dad after his parents split. The current imbroglio may have been ignited by some heated words Christian's mother had about his wife, Sibi Blazic.
The notoriously private actor has said that guarding his private life allows him to be more believable as an actor. He began his career at age 13 when he was handpicked by Steven Spielberg to star in "Empire of the Sun."
His history of dark role choices -- such as "The Machinist" and "American Psycho" -- combined with the assault charges and allegations that he exploded last week on the set of "Terminator Salvation" could make Bale a target for legal trouble, but Judge Pirro tells "Extra" that the reports won't impact his skyrocketing career.
Bale is due back in a London court in September.

Tricia Walsh-Smith lost out on the monster payday she'd hoped for in a divorce settlement with ex hubby, Broadway mogul Philip Smith. Now the YouTube kvetch claims she's receiving death threats!
Tricia's lawyer revealed that her client fears for her safety, but would not dish on any future plans for the weblebrity, except that it's likely Trish will head back to the net!
A judge granted 76-year-old Philip a divorce on grounds of "cruel and inhuman treatment," and the YouTube divorcée received the relatively paltry $750K agreed to in their prenup. "No human being would ever want to go through what I have been through in the last year," Tricia recently said of her divorce battle.]]>

Just days after losing another round in court in her protracted custody battle with ex-hubby Charlie Sheen, reality is hitting reality star Denise Richards at home!
Her home in Hidden Hills, which serves as the setting for her reality show "It's Complicated," is on the market for $4.25 mil -- $140K less than what she paid for it last year. Neighbors of the actress are reportedly rallying to get her booted from the gated Los Angeles community -- complaining that filming of her show, "It's Complicated," causes chaos and commotion.
Richards is refuting the story, claiming that she recently put her house up for sale in order to move to a more convenient place that's closer to her daughters' school.
Levi -- the spitting image of his pop -- even has a connection to Batman Christian Bale! Matthew revealed to OK! magazine that he whistled to his son while he was in the womb -- the same tune that a younger Bale whistled in the flick, "Empire of the Sun."

Father of six Brad Pitt certainly has his hands full six kids, including new babies Knox and Viv -- now he's being blasted for giving daughter Shiloh a ride on his lap while driving a golf cart.
The 44-year-old was snapped at a quad bike track in Miraval with the angelic tot, 2, perched on his lap -- apparently with no seatbelt or helmet. Now, according to The Smoking Gun, Brad is threatening legal action against news outlets who publish the pix -- which show "Pitt and his family as they engaged in familial activities on private property," and, if published, would "violate his privacy rights," according to Brad's lawyer, Yael Holtkamp.
Last September, the A-lister opened up about his tots being paparazzi targets. "It's not going to keep our kids caged in," Brad says. "The only thing that frightens me today is something happening to my kids, or something happening to Angie." France has strong privacy laws which have inhibited the paparazzi.
