Who knew that Jamie Lynn was a blade gal? Jamie waved a knife around to stop a fight at a Pita Pit in Hammond, Louisiana last weekend.

Selena Gomez Exposes Ankle in Abu Dhabi & Angers Mosque Leaders
Selena Gomez stripped down and showed way too much skin on her ankles while visiting a mosque in Abu Dhabi — and now she’s getting blasted for her “disrespectful” poses. Folks at the mosque tell us the main issues their members have with the pics are:
1) Selena’s exposed leg, and her sexy pose … both are no-nos. It’s a respect thing.
2) Mosque rules prohibit laughing and smiling … again, it’s about respect.
Selena did one-up Rihanna, in a sense. RiRi visited the same mosque last year, but when she posted pics … she was immediately asked to leave. Mosque leaders went easier on Selena.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is Married
Joseph Gordon-Levitt married his girlfriend Tasha McCauley on December 20th, in an intimate ceremony at their home. If you didn’t even know Joseph had a girlfriend, that’s not surprising. He doesn’t publicize it much. And that’s partly her choice. Tasha is the founder of a robotics company based at NASA Research Park in Silicon Valley, California. And Joseph has said that she, quote, “really doesn’t want to be a part of” the celebrity spotlight.
