David Letterman's people made a bold statement this weekend -- not every supermarket tabloid story about Dave's marriage is true.
One of Dave's reps flatly denied a recent report in the National Enquirer, which explained how Dave's wife threw him out of their Westchester mansion -- over that whole affair/extortion thing -- and is now living in a loft in Manhattan.
Letterman's rep tells the Daily News, "The National Enquirer has it wrong."
Whatever. That alien is totally pregnant with Elvis' love child.

The Bad Boys from Boston aren't splitting ways after all -- because last night both Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry denied the break-up hoopla they helped create.

Steven, who was rumored to have quit the band, put it best: "There's absolutely no validity to rumor that Aerosmith is breaking up, mutha f**ka!"
And there you have it.

What is Aerosmith without Steven Tyler?Joe Perry and some guys you can't remember the name of.
The unthinkable might be a reality -- Tyler may be on his way out. Joe Perry told the Las Vegas Sun he thinks Tyler has quit, but he isn't really sure.
He says, "Steven quit as far as I can tell ... I don't know anymore than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don't know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don't know."
Calls to the band were not returned.

The people behind "This Is It" are furious over reports that the Michael Jackson featured in the movie is a body double -- claiming those reports are "pure garbage."
The controversy began earlier this month after Joe Jackson claimed the media was going to "tear this movie apart" -- and insisted it was "mostly body doubles."
But a rep from Sony -- co-producers of the flick -- tells TMZ, "This story is pure garbage and there are no body doubles.
Audiences will begin to see the film tomorrow and every time they see The King of Pop they will know that every frame is unquestionably Michael as he rehearses and prepares for the London concerts that were to have begun this past summer."

She's slept with a lot of people -- a LOT of people -- but Shauna Sand claims she's definitely not a notch on her stepson's belt ... despite what her ex-husband's reality show may lead some to believe.

Sand claims the first episode of "Leave it to Lamas" was based around a "lie" that she knocked boots with Lorenzo's son. A.J. But Shauna says it never, ever happened, and released the following statement:
"It turned out the whole first episode of "Leave it to Lamas" revolved around a lie that the Lamas family concocted about me sleeping with my step-son A.J.
It is absolutely untrue and I'm sick of being used and ridiculed by this family for the benefit of their show. "
So there you have it -- the one man who hasn't slept with Shauna Sand.

Pam Anderson -- former actress/financial maven -- is coming out with both barrels blazing to refute reports she's gone bankrupt.
According to an article that made the rounds, Pammy is allegedly more than $1.2 million in debt -- including over $600k to a construction company that filed a lien against her.
Pam released the following statement:
"It is true that I am in a dispute with some of the contractors working on my home. This is because after paying millions of dollars to build the house I continue to get bills from the contractors. My lawyers are reviewing the work done to see if the bills are fair. If they are, they'll be paid. If they aren't, they won't be."
But Pam does seem to hint at some financial issues, saying, "Mistakes may have been made in calculating taxes owed and we are now in the process of ensuring that any taxes owed are paid."
Warren Buffet, she ain't.

Jaclyn Smith is not dead -- and to prove it, she's writing on her Twitter page.
There are several reports popping up all over the place claiming the "Charlie's Angel" was shot in her home in Honduras -- but she's not even in Honduras ... so, by process of elimination ... we have concluded she could not have been shot there.
Plus, her publicist Jay Schwartz just told us this, "She is alive and well in Los Angeles ... I spoke to her this morning."
Also, Jaclyn posted the following message on her Twitter page -- Jaclyn is safe and home with her family. She is not in Honduras. It is a lie. >cc
