(HMG) – Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has found himself accused of sexual assault again. The alleged victim a young woman in Georgia, has been treated and released from the hospital and interviewed by police, according to TMZ. According to the celebrity Web site, the alleged incident occurred early Friday morning at Capital City, a club in Milledgeville, Georgia. The woman allegedly told police she was inside a restroom when the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback entered and allegedly assaulted her. Police are also reportedly interviewing witnesses and have already interviewed the QB himself. But no charges have been filed yet.

Previously a woman named Andrea McNulty accused Roethlisberger of sexually assaulting her at a Nevada hotel-casino in 2008. A criminal case was never pursued.

This is LOVELY.

Yesterday we reported that Whitney Houston performed Who Would Imagine A King as a touching tribute to her daughter Bobbi Kristina’s 17th birthday during the singer’s Nothing But Love tour in Australia.

Today we found some footage of the performance, and we LOVE it. So beautiful.

And Whitney sounds GREAT!!

It’s her first tour back after a LONG hiatus, so we’re sure the diva isn’t going to be in top form at every concert, but this alone proves that Whitney still has what it takes!!

Congratulations, bb!!

Proactive — especially for this chain!

The Chuck E. Cheese in Harlem has posted new rules about attire and weaponry in the place “where a kid can be a kid.” The new rules state:

“No gang-style apparel, including but not limited to hats, shirts, buckles, bandanas, towels. No gang-type conduct or behavior, including verbal slogans, greetings, hand signs or intimidation.

“No weapons or tools or any sort whatsoever; including knives, chains, screwdrivers, glass cutters.“

But some customers seem to think it’s ridiculous because it perpetuates the negative sterotype of Harlem. Says customer Tish Payne:

“It’s ridiculous. I don’t see gangs going into Chuck E. Cheese’s. They probably put the sign up because of the location. It’s adding to the stereotype that Harlem is trying to deviate from.”

With Chuck E. Cheese’s track record though we think it’s better to be safe than sorry!

Impressive!

Billy Corgan opened up to Rolling Stone magazine about his alleged relationship with Jessica Simpson. There was speculation that the two might be dating when the they were working together on the theme song for her new VH1 show “The Price of Beauty”.

Billy says it’s a difficult thing to define with the media’s constant spin on things:

“If I go, ‘Oh, we’re just friends,’ then it’s like, ‘Did they go out, did he dump her or she dump him, what happened?’ It has nothing to do with any of that,” he tells Rolling Stone. “Sometimes people just like being around each other, and good things come out of that.”

He says that his goal in life is:

“to love whoever I think is worth loving, and I think if people knew her like I knew her, they would love her like I do. It’s really simple.”

That’s a sweet thing to say. I’m sure Jessica would much rather hear things like this in the press than the TMI John Mayer was spewing.

Gilles Marini was seen shopping at the re-opening of Armani Exchange store in West Hollywood. He showed up in sweats and tennis shoes and left in an all new outfit.

I am DYING over the shot with the busload of tourists! It reminds me of a safari. They’re out cruising around, trying to spot celebrities in the wild.

I must admit that every time I see him, I think about this sweet story of him buying the house for his wife.

Beyonce and her mother Tina Knowles attended the unveiling of the Beyonce Cosmetology Center at Phoenix House, a residential substance abuse facility in Brooklyn. The Phoenix House offers career training programs for residents in many areas like carpentry and building maintenance, but Beyonce said that she felt it needed more programs geared toward women.

She has a special bond with the rehab center because she spent a lot of time there while she was researching for her role as Etta James in the film ‘Cadillac Records’.

I believe Jay-Z also does a lot of work to help better Brooklyn area, which is where he grew up. I think it’s fantastic that they give back like this.
