IN DENIAL - ADELE: ADELE hit up Twitter yesterday to deny the Life & Style magazine cover story that she and her baby-daddy secretly got married earlier this summer. She Tweeted, quote, "I'm not married . . . Zzzzzzz."

But a few of the not-always-reliable British tabloids aren't convinced. A 'Daily Mail' source insists, quote, "They did get married, and I was present. It was a fabulous occasion. Adele was dressed in a classic attire and Simon looked very smart and joyous."

I want to believe, un-named source, I want to believe!!!

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER LINDSAY LOHAN BEHAVING BADLY STORY: A dressing room trailer that was created for ELIZABETH TAYLOR has been damaged to the tune of $100,000, and the owner is blaming LINDSAY LOHAN.

A Liz Taylor fan named Angel Alger lent it to the Lifetime network back in July to use in their movie "Liz & Dick". Alger says they promised she'd get it back in better condition, but instead it was returned in worse shape. (PHOTO)

Alger says it there are now cigarette burns on some of the the furniture and on a portrait of Liz, (PHOTO), a mirror, dishes and other glassware were broken, and some things were missing -- including an antique rocking chair that Liz used to sit in every night after filming and a brush that may have still had some of Liz's hair in it.

Alger thinks Lindsay is partly responsible because she claims a studio employee told her Linds and her friends had access to the trailer every night after filming.

But Lindsay's overworked rep says na-ah. Lindsay WORSHIPPED Liz, and would never destroy her belongings. Quote: "This has nothing to do with Lindsay. You should ask the producers about it."

Speaking of Lilo and the 'Liz & Dick' producers ... you know that unpaid $46,000 Chateau Marmont bill we told you about yesterday? Lindsay is saying the producers of the Lifetime movie were supposed to pick up the tab, but sources tell TMZ she always knew her hotel expenses were her responsibility.

Producers did give her a one-time only advance of $5,000 against her salary so she could move into the hotel, but the source says they never ever suggested they would pay for her to stay there.

Meanwhile ... Lifetime yesterday released some new images from the upcoming television movie. Check 'em, yo ...

LADY GAGA'S 'VOGUE' COVER AIRBRUSHING EXPOSED: LADY GAGA graces the cover of the latest 'Vogue,'but apparently the magazine's editors weren't happy with the face Gaga, body or skin she was born with.

Pre-airbrushed photos that hit the 'net yesterday show clearly how her skin was touched-up and her waist minimized.

You have to admit it's pretty ironic they did this much retouching to a woman whose mantra is "Born This Way"

BABY POOP: TORI SPELLING pushed another one out yesterday! Spelling gave birth to a baby boy -- her fourth child with husband Dean McDermott.

Finn Davey McDermott weighed in at six-pounds, six-ounces and 20-inches long.

LEANN RIMES CHECKS HERSELF INTO REHAB: One day after partying like a rock star on her 30th birthday, LEANN RIMES checked herself into rehab yesterday to deal with "anxiety and stress issues".

Despite constant speculation about her skinny frame, her rep insists LeAnn’s not there to deal with drug abuse or an eating disorder -- although that would certainly explain those bikini photos of her looking emaciated, no? (PHOTO)

On a related note ... Rimes has sued two women she claims illegally taped a conversation with her that has now hit the Internet.

The suit alleges the women, Kimberly and Lexi Smiley, are supporters of Brandi Glanville, ex-wife of LeAnn’s husband Eddie Cibrian.

LeAnn says she called Kimberly trying to get her to stop posting negative things about her on the Internet, and Kimberly illegally recorded the conversation, which, taken out of context, paints LeAnn in a “false and negative light.” She is suing for invasion of privacy.

SIMON COWELL TO THE RESCUE!!!: SIMON COWELL is being credited with helping to save the lives of nine people whose boat sank in St. Tropez the other day.

According to reports, Simon was on his boat with his former girlfriend Sinitta when he received a “may day” call about a sinking vessel.

Simon told his captain to head out to the sinking boat. When they got there, he sent a smaller boat out to collect nine passengers and bring them back to his yacht. Simon's crew even helped patch up the other boat and pump water from it.

BABY POOP - HOLLY MADISON’S BABY DADDY FACES 13 YEARS BEHIND BARS: HOLLY MADISON sure picked a winner of a baby daddy. The former "Girls Next Door" star announced that she and boyfriend Pasquale Rotella are expecting their first child in March, but hopefully he won’t be behind bars when the baby is born.

According to 'People' magazine, Rotella was indicted this past April along with six others on 29 counts of bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy and conflict of interest in Los Angeles. Rotella allegedly rerouted more than $2.5 million from the venue to pay off city officials.

If convicted, Rotella faces up to 13 years in the slammer.

COULD BE TRUE, COULD BE CRAP: JOHN MAYER DUMPED KATY PERRY VIA EMAIL: "Us Weekly" is claiming that JOHN MAYER dumped KATY PERRY by e-mail because he was, quote, "tired of her hard partying."

Wait,what? Via e-mail? Who does that? Doesn't he know the proper way to break up with someone is by texting? E-mail is soooo old-school.I guess John is just an old-fashioned kind of guy

A source tells the tab Katy was, quote, "furious and really hurt. She was into him, but he wasn't feeling it." Apparently.

LADY GAGA ACCUSES LINDSAY LOHAN OF STEALING HER EARRINGS: On Tuesday, shortly after the news broke that LINDSAY LOHAN wasn't going to be prosecuted for allegedly stealing jewelry, she Tweeted a picture of herself wearing some fancy-looking earrings.

And LADY GAGA responded with this zinger: "@lindsaylohan ummmm are those my earrings??? this is awkward...:) kiss kiss chateau bunny."

Yes, she was joking. No, Gaga and Linds aren’t battling, and no, Lohan didn’t steal from her friend.

But how's this for a funny coincidence ... notice how Gaga called her a "chateau bunny"? That's a reference to a couple of months ago when they became friends during a sleepover at the Chateau Marmont.

The same Chateau Marmont Lindsay was recently ordered to pack her sh** up and leave from for neglecting a $46,000 bill! Lolz, as the kids say.

On a related note ...

LADY GAGA PAYS FAKE HOMAGE TO MADONNA AT HELSINKI CONCERT: Linds and Gaga aren't battling, but she and MADONNA continues.

Tuesday, Gaga mocked Madonna's recent on-stage wardrobe shenanigans by flashing her thong to the crowd. (PHOTO)

After pulling up her black leather skirt to reveal her behind -- and just before launching into the Madonna's classic "Like a Virgin" -- Gaga shouted, quote,"I don’t give a f*** what people say. We don’t give a f***."

Clearly a reference to Madonna's concert staple "I Don't Give A"from her latest album. Your move, Madge.

MADONNA BOOED IN PHILLY: Madonna’s first stop on her U.S. tour wasn’t without controversy. The MDA Tour rolled into Philadelphia on Tuesday night, greeted by boos and disgruntled fans upset that the show started two and a half hours late.

Madonna apologized when she did finally take the stage blaming her late arrival on being too much of a perfectionist, and told fans to appreciate their freedom given all the human rights abuses around the world. She was booed TWICE

IS ADELE WEARING A WEDDING RING???!!!: Did ADELE already get hitched? Yeah, we don’t know either, but Life & Style magazine reports she’s been spotted with a gold band on her ring finger.

WOMAN CLAIMS KRIS HUMPHRIES GAVE HER HERPES: TMZ reports KRIS HUMPHRIES is being accused of giving a woman HERPES during a sexual encounter two years ago.

Kayla Goldberg is suing Humphries, claiming they had unprotected intercourse more than once after meeting at a club in August of 2010. She's suing Kris for sexual battery -- she claims he knew, but never told her, that he had an STD -- plus emotional distress and fraud. She's seeking unspecified damages.

His rep tells E! News that Kris does not have herpes. Sources close to the baller say Kris is 100% positive he doesn't have herpes or any other STD because he got tested recently after a different woman accused him of infecting her.

BABY POOP: HOLLY MADISON is pregnant. The 32-year-old former Playboy Playmate and ‘Girl Next Door’ is expecting a child in March with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella, according to People magazine.

"Definitely being with the right guy has a lot to do with it," she told the mag. "My relationship is awesome. I’m happier than I’ve ever been in my personal life.” Sas! Take that Hef!

Pinstagram, The Ultimate Mash-Up. Your Instagram Photos In Pinterest Format.

above composite of instagram and pinterest logos ©iihih

I was wondering how long it would take for the ever-growing Pinterest platform to combine with the incredibly popular Instagram app. Not long as you will see with Pinstagram, a new site by co-founders Brandon Leonardo and Pek Pongpaet.

Below is a reprint of the article "Pinstagram: How Instagram Should Look On the Web":

We have all seen those mythical hybrid animals, like the zeroed, a mix of zebra and equine, or perhaps the more commonly known beefalo, a mix of buffalo and cow. You may even be familiar with the leopon, the result of breeding a male leopard with a female lion. Hybrids are real. And there are others too, mind you. But it's not all fur and feathers; many such hybrids live on the Internet. Especially sites like Pinstagram, a "Pinterest for your Instagram images," as co-founder Pek Pongpaet describes it. In an increasingly visual Web, it's a wonder that this hybrid didn't come about sooner.

Like most things on the Internet, Pinstagram happened fast.

"We were joking one evening about how Instagram is worth $1 billion and how Pinterest's valuation might already be in the $500 million range," says co-founder Brandon Leonardo. "And we were thinking about the idea of a Twitter for Facebook, what that would be like. Then I could tell Pek started thinking about it. The gears started turning; he was visualizing a Pinterest for Instagram."

Not more than 24 hours later, Pongpaet had already coded and designed it. This sort of fast turnaround is pretty natural for Pongpaet and Leonardo, who come from a hackathon "get stuff out as fast as possible and ask questions later" type of background.

If this sort of idea had popped up within a larger company setting, for example, it would have "taken months," says Pongapaet.

Since Pinstagram's debut just a few weeks ago, the site has already seen about 6,400 Facebook likes of Instagram images, thousands of tweets and a few hundred pins.

Pinstagram: An Indicator of the Evolving Visual Web
Services like Pinterest and Instagram are integral to the future of the visual Web. No longer do people send photos to document memories; they are lifestreaming as it all happens, with pictures telling the story. It's no wonder that Facebook snatched up Instagram while it still had the chance.

"The visual medium has always had international appeal," says Pongapaet. "Sending pictures is very common. If you stick to English, you'll alienate a lot of people. Visual mediums let you transcend all barriers. It takes seconds to process a photo."

What about Webstagram, the Instagram Web viewer? Isn't this a sufficient way to view Instragram images on the Internet? For some, it's perfect. But like many news Web sites, Webstagram is organized around "popular," "my photos," "liked," "hot," "photo of the day" and more. It feels more like a news website and less like a glossy, Pinterest-like magazine.

"The reason I built Pinstagram is because this is my world view of how Instagram should look on the Web," says Pongapaet. "Our core focus is to recreate the Instagram experience on the desktop and to be able to extend that to our users."

Not everyone wants to see their Instagrams in a Pinterest-like layout, however, and Pongapaet acknowledges that.

"There are always different interpretations," he says. "That's what great about art, about having different APIs - people all have different interpretations."

Pinstagram just integrated into Facebook Timeline. As the Instagram-Facebook integration continues to rollout, so will this nifty Pinterest-Instagram hybrid beast.- by Alicia Eler on May 11th, 2012 for ReadWriteWeb.

Qualy Shakes Things Up With Two New Awesome Seasoning and Spice Shaker Sets.

Two different sets of seasoning or spice shakers have just been introduced by Qualy of Thailand. Four Seasons and Animal Parade consist of four clear domes (with holes in the tops) in a white tray in which you can place herbs, spices and seasonings. With a look reminiscent of snow domes, the products are both fun and functional, like all of Qualy's products.

Four Seasons features trees indicative of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter and Animal Parade features creatures associated with each of the seasons: bunny, camel, elk and polar bear.
