Onch Movement Jewelry is suing Britney's #1 fan, Chris Crocker, for fraud and breach of contract! Leave Chrissy alone!
TMZ obtained a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court by Onch, which alleges that Crocker failed to meet his obligations with regard to promoting their jewelry line. In exchange for a round trip airline ticket to L.A., Onch claims Crocker agreed to exclusively wear their jewelry, do two days of press for their line -- including an in-studio photo shoot -- and attend the "Just Britney" art show.
Onch claims they suffered lost profits and their "business reputation in the media has been greatly damaged." Um, hiring Chris Crocker is not exactly the best way to make a good impression! Onch believes they are owed in excess of $1 million in damages. Good luck with that!

Britney Spears Going Broke?
Popwreck Britney Spears lost custody of her kids to ex-hubby Kevin Federline earlier this week. And in an added blow, the mama-with-the-drama has been told by an L.A. judge that she must pay for her own parenting counseling and drug testing before she can attempt to reclaim custody of her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
In light of her recent court craziness, friends are worried about Brit-Brit's finances. One source told Page Six that, "she is running out of money. Her fragrance didn't do well. She has no cash flow coming in and she's spending money like water." Maybe it was all the Starbucks and fast food?

Bonaduce Won't Be Charged In Face-Plant
Danny Bonaduce won't face charges for giving former "Survivor" contestant Johnny Fairplay a face-plant on stage at an awards show.
A charge evaluation document released by the district attorney's office Friday said there was "insufficient evidence" to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Bonaduce committed battery because Fairplay "initiated contact and acted offensively."
Fairplay, 33, said he underwent 2 1/2 hours of dental surgery after Bonaduce tossed him over his shoulders at the Fox Reality Channel's Really Awards on Tuesday.
The evaluation worksheet said Fairplay jumped on Bonaduce, "wrapped his arms and legs around the suspect and thrust his pelvis into the suspect's body."
Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Boxer wrote that Bonaduce did not intentionally injure Fairplay and his "actions fell within the realm of self-defense."
Fairplay's police report claimed Bonaduce walked on stage uninvited and made a "derogatory statement."
Fairplay later said he was giving Bonaduce a hug, one of his signature moves as a performer.
A video of the incident captured the sound of the audience booing.
Fairplay, whose real name is Jon Dalton, appeared in the 2003 CBS show "Survivor: Pearl Islands" and came in third.
Bonaduce, 48, was a child star on "The Partridge Family," starred in the 2005 reality show "Breaking Bonaduce," and has recently co-hosted Adam Carolla's radio show.

Rutgers player withdraws Imus lawsuit
A Rutgers University basketball player on Tuesday withdrew a slander and defamation lawsuit she had filed against Don Imus and CBS Radio, among others, after the shock jock called the team "nappy headed hos."
Kia Vaughn had contended in the lawsuit filed in August in New York state Supreme Court that the comments made by Imus had damaged her reputation. The lawsuit also named various media outlets that broadcast Imus' show.
Marti McKenzie, a spokeswoman for Vaughn's attorney, Richard Ancowitz, said in a statement that Vaughn had chosen to focus on her education at New Jersey's Rutgers University as a journalism major and as an athlete with the basketball team.
"Her strong commitments to both have influenced her decision to withdraw the lawsuit at this time," the statement said.
A lawyer for Imus, Martin Garbus, said his client had paid no money to Vaughn. CBS Radio did not immediately return a message requesting comment.

Kanya Talking Shit Again
Kanye West blames MTV for Britney Spears' less than stellar performance at the Video Music Awards. "Man, they were just trying to get ratings, and they knew she wasn't ready and they exploited her," the 29-year-old rapper said Tuesday on Sirius Satellite Radio's "The Morning Mash Up."
The network made a "bad move" by having the troubled pop star open Sunday's event in Las Vegas, said West, who feels he should have kicked off the show with "Stronger," the first single from his new album, "Graduation."
"They exploited her, they played me and I really don't mess with MTV," he said.
Spears, 25, looked unprepared while performing her new song, "Gimme More," to a bewildered audience of her music industry peers. She seemed nervous and, at times, stopped singing altogether.
In a praise-filled statement released Tuesday afternoon, MTV said it "... has a long and collaborative relationship with Kanye and we hope and look forward to continuing that meaningful relationship."
West said he wanted to perform "Stronger" on the show's main stage where R&B hotshot Chris Brown wowed the crowd with Michael Jackson-esque dance moves but complied when he was asked to host a suite party.
West said it was a blow to the ego when Justin Timberlake, who also hosted a suite party, ended up "on the big stage" to give the closing performance with Timbaland and Nelly Furtado.
"Those are the big things, and you know what I do man, I really made the song 'Stronger,' you know, for stadiums," he said.
West who threw a tantrum backstage after losing all five categories for which he was nominated said he has bonded with 50 Cent over what they view as disrespectful behavior from MTV.
"So why do you have me do 'Stronger' in a suite, but you end the show with Justin?" he said. "I looked at 50 like, yo, we need to help each other as much as possible."
50 Cent has said he'd stop making solo records if West's new album outsells his "Curtis" CD in their first week out. Both albums were released Tuesday.

Jon Stewart Hosting Academy Awards
Jon Stewart will return as host of the Academy Awards.
The star of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" will get his second shot at hosting Hollywood's premiere event, which will be held on Feb. 24 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. He hosted the 78th annual awards show in 2006.
Stewart was "a terrific host" for that event, Oscar telecast producer Gil Cates said Wednesday, announcing the selection in a statement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
The academy didn't indicate why it decided to go with Stewart after using comedian Ellen DeGeneres this year.
"I'm thrilled to be asked to host the Academy Awards for the second time because, as they say, the third time's a charm," Stewart joked.
Previous Cates-selected hosts include Steve Martin, Chris Rock, Billy Crystal and Stewart.
Stewart, a political satirist, injected some political humor into his 2006 performance, taking jabs at the war in Iraq and ribbing Hollywood's elite about their ties to the Democratic Party.
However, some jokes bombed and he got mixed reviews.
"His usually impeccable blend of puckishness and self-effacement fell flat," a review by The Associated Press said, adding he was "too deferential, too nice and too obvious in his targets."
The 44-year-old Stewart, who also hosted the Grammys in 2001 and 2002, noted the split decision on his own cable TV show the night after the Oscars, saying he had a great time but didn't know how he did until he saw the reviews.
"I sucked and was great!" he said. "I was a painfully smug and unfunny heir to Johnny Carson."

Led Zeppelin set for reunion gig in London
cRock legends Led Zeppelin announced a one-off comeback concert on Wednesday nearly three decades after disbanding.
The group split in 1980 after the death of drummer John Bonham and have performed only a handful of reunion gigs, last taking the stage 12 years ago at their induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The show will be held November 26 in London.
Tickets will cost 125 pounds ($254.30), available by ballot only with winners' names chosen at random. Fans can register at for a chance to buy tickets.
The official tickets Web site crashed shortly after the announcement as fans swarmed it for a chance to see the band, known to many of its fans simply as Zep.
The concert organizer, Harvey Goldsmith, said he thought it would be a one-off show, not a full-fledged reunion tour, but said the band seemed to be bonding well together again.
Bonham's son Jason will wield the drum sticks for Led Zeppelin, joining its founding members: singer Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page and bassist John Paul Jones.
The show will be a tribute to the late founder of Atlantic Records, Ahmet Ertegun, who signed Led Zeppelin in 1968.
"This performance stands alone as our tribute to the work and the life of our long-standing friend," Plant said in a statement.
Plant and Page have joined forces over the years, notably on an album in 1994, but Jones has been more distant. When Bonham passed away after a long battle with alcoholism, his bandmates said Led Zeppelin had died with him.
BONDING WELL
Goldsmith said the band was approaching the gig seriously.
"They thought about it very carefully, and even decided to actually rehearse for a few days to see if they could play together again," he told Reuters Television in an interview.
"I only asked them to do 30 minutes and they came back after a week's rehearsals and said they wanted to do a full show.
"So they obviously started to bond back together again. As far as I'm concerned, this is a one-off show, if something materializes after that, I'll be thrilled," Goldmsith added.
The band is scheduled to release a greatest hits collection, titled "Mothership," on November 13, and bookmaker Ladbrokes has made it odds-on favorite to top album charts.
"Reunion gigs are all the rage at the moment and we reckon Led Zeppelin will make the most of their comeback," Ladbrokes spokesman Nick Weinberg said. "We fully expect to see their older fans, and a new generation of rock lovers, getting behind the group."
The concert is slated for London's 02 Arena, which has a capacity of about 22,000. The Who's Pete Townshend, and Rolling Stone Bill Wyman and the Rhythm Kings and others will also play on the night.

Baca Recall A Possability
LOS ANGELES - More than two months after it was initiated, an effort to remove Sheriff Lee Baca from office because of his handling of Paris Hilton's jail sentence has gained scant support.
Andrew Ahlering, the former county employee behind the campaign to relieve Baca of his post, said he had gathered just 40 of the nearly 400,000 signatures needed by December to get a recall measure on the ballot.
Ahlering, who accused the Los Angeles sheriff of giving Hilton preferential treatment by allowing her to return home after serving less than four days of a 23-day jail sentence, also said he had raised less than $100 for the campaign.
But he told the Los Angeles Times on Monday that his effort would get a second wind from Nicole Richie's having spent only 82 minutes in jail for driving under the influence.
The recall petition accuses Baca of giving favorable treatment to celebrities and of "gross mismanagement of the largest jail system in the United States."
A Baca spokesman said Ahlering's difficulty generating enthusiasm for the campaign is evidence the sheriff has the public's support.
"The sheriff has said when the hysteria dies down about the Hilton incarceration people will come to see he made the right decision, and his interest is in the safety of the people of Los Angeles County," sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
Hilton, 26, Richie's co-star on TV's "The Simple Life," walked out of jail after a three-week stay in which she was briefly released to home confinement and then sent back screaming to a lockup. The hotel heiress-socialite was jailed for a probation violation after pleading no contest to alcohol-related reckless driving.

Merv Griffin Was Gay?
Here is a story from Yahoo! OMG
Merv Griffin was gay.
Why should that be so uncomfortable to read? Why is it so difficult to write? Why are we still so jittery even about raising the issue in purportedly liberal-minded Hollywood, in 2007?
Griffin, who died of prostate cancer Sunday at 82, stayed in the closet throughout his life. Perhaps he figured it was preferable to remain the object of gossip rather than live openly as "one of them."
But how tremendously sad it is that a man of Merv's renown, of his gregarious nature and social dexterity, would feel compelled to endure such a stealthy double life even as the gay community's clout, and its levels of acceptance and equality, rose steadily from the ashes of ignorance.
What a powerful message Griffin might have sent had he squired his male companions around town rather than Eva Gabor, his longtime good friend and platonic public pal. Imagine the amount of good Merv could have done as a well-respected, hugely successful, beloved and uncloseted gay man in embodying a positive image.
I had more than a passing acquaintance with him, having worked on "The Merv Griffin Show" as a talent coordinator/segment producer in 1985-86 as the show was winding down. Around the office, Merv's being gay was understood but rarely discussed (and certainly never with him). We knew nothing of his relationships because he guarded his privacy fiercely, and we didn't pry.
Merv's secret gay life was widely known throughout showbiz culture, if not the wider America. It gained traction in 1991 when he was targeted in a pair of lawsuits: by "Dance Fever" host Denny Terrio, alleging sexual harassment; and by assistant Brent Plott seeking $200 million in palimony. Both ultimately were dismissed.
Over the past 16 years of his life, however, Griffin deflected the sexuality questions with a quip, determining that his private life remained nobody's business. He certainly didn't owe us an explanation, but maybe he owed it to himself to remove the suffocating veil he'd been forced to hide behind throughout his adult life. Then again, Merv carved his niche in the entertainment world at a time when being gay wasn't OK, when disclosure was unthinkable and the allegation alone could deep-six one's career.
If you're Griffin, why would you think a judgmental culture would be any more tolerant as you grew into middle and old age? Even in the capital of entertainment -- in a business where homosexuality isn't exactly a rare phenomenon -- it's still spoken of in hushed tones or, more often, not at all. And Merv's brush with tabloid scandal no doubt only drove him further into the closet.
While it would seem everything has changed today, little actually has. You can count on the fingers of one hand, or at most two, the number of high-powered stars, executives and public figures who have come out. Those who don't can't really be faulted, as rarely do honesty and full disclosure prove a boon to one's showbiz livelihood.
Nonetheless, the elephant that was his sexual orientation never really stopped following Griffin from room to room. He could duck it for a while, but it would always find him. It's disheartening that Merv had to die to shake it for good.

Heather Mills Justice
A photographer convicted of assaulting Heather Mills was sentenced Thursday to 140 hours of community service.
Jay Kaycappa, 32, was one of a group of photographers who pursued Mills, the estranged wife of former Beatle Paul McCartney, as she cycled through Brighton, in southern England, in July 2006.
Mills, 39, has said she ducked into an underground passage to avoid the paparazzi. She testified that Kaycappa cornered her and grabbed her shoulder to swing her around and take her picture.
A British court convicted Kaycappa in July. He was also convicted of assaulting Mills' friend Mark Payne the following evening.
The photographer's lawyer said he would appeal.
Mills and McCartney, 65, are in divorce proceedings. They have a 3-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

Posh Fashion Tips
In what Victoria Beckham would undoubtedly consider "major," a style guide penned by her own hand is being published for American readers!
Publishing house HarperEntertainment has acquired Victoria's book, "THAT EXTRA HALF AN INCH: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between."
The book, titled as a tongue-in-cheek nod to Victoria's love of high heels, is described as a "perfect handbag-size style guide for women" -- a revealing and practical look at fashion, beauty and personal style.
"I've always been a girl's girl," Beckham said in a statement. "And I know from experience that making the very best of your self is something any woman can do. I was never the six-foot-tall pin-up…I've always been the girl-next-door who got lucky. I've come a long way in the last ten years, but this book isn't my attempt to tell you what or what not to do. It's just to share some of what I've learned."
Victoria rose to international fame as a member of UK pop group "The Spice Girls," in which she was appropriately nicknamed "Posh." The classy Victoria went on to marry soccer superstar David Beckham, but it's her cutting-edge style and entrepreneurial endeavors that have cemented her place as a fashion icon.
Victoria has been celebrated not only for her modeling career, but for her own fashion designs. Along with a collection for Rock and Republic, Victoria launched her own successful line of clothes and accessories called dVb Style, as well as her own fragrances. Just this year, Glamour magazine awarded her double honors as "Woman of the Year" and "Entrepreneur of the Year!"
Already a best-seller in the UK, "THAT EXTRA HALF AN INCH" will now bring its style hints to American readers, with Victoria's tips on everything from effective shopping, to finding the right accessories, to making the most of the clothes you already have.
The book will be available in stores later this year.

And for those who don't mind shelling out the big bucks (and waiting four months), Madame Tussauds can even custom-make your very own figure.
Talk about a conversation piece!
Could Joel Madden Propose?
Could Joel Madden be ready to propose to his expecting girlfriend, Nicole Richie?
Speculation has run wild for months over whether Madden and Nicole would tie the knot, with anticipation reaching a fever pitch since Nicole confirmed her pregnancy earlier this month.
Regis Philbin broached the subject this morning when he welcomed Madden and his band, Good Charlotte, to ABC's "Live with Regis and Kelly."
"You're going to present her, maybe, with - did I hear the right thing, or should I not even talk about this?" Regis said to Joel.
When Madden replied with an "uh, what?," Regis quickly got to the point.
"A little ring, or something," he prodded.
"I was hoping it would be a surprise," laughed Madden, "but uh..."
But nothing! Joel didn't finish the sentence.
Regis, with a quick "ah dammit," turned straight to Joel's identical twin brother, Benji, and said, "What's new with you, big boy?"
Madden's and Richie's lips have been sealed about when (and if) they intend to marry, but could Joel have hinted at something real when Regis put him on the spot?
Only time will tell. For now, Madden is all about preparing for his child with Nicole, who is currently 4 1/2 months into her term.
"Yeah, we're expecting a baby," he said this morning, to cheers from the audience. "I did it."
He told Regis and Kelly that he's been reading up on the subject, with books such as "What to Expect When You're Expecting," "The Expectant Father" and "Baby Signs."
Nicole was sentenced last month to four days in jail and three years probation stemming from a December DUI arrest, and must complete her sentence by September 28. While rumors have surfaced that the couple plan to tie the knot before she serves her sentence, that has not been confirmed.
One thing that is for certain? Nicole's joy over being an expecting mother:
As she told ABC's Diane Sawyer earlier this month, "I'm so excited about my baby's life and this is just...it's so much bigger than me."

Hip Hop Cash Kings List
Hip-hop star Jay-Z's talent for extending beyond rap to the executive worlds of music, fashion and other businesses has earned him the top spot on Forbes magazine's "Hip-Hop Cash Kings" list.
Forbes on Thursday said Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, raked in $34 million in 2006, the year he released a comeback album "Kingdom Come."
But the boyfriend of pop singer Beyonce earned much of that income as chief executive of New York-based Def Jam Recordings, owner of a sports bar franchise and holder of endorsements deals with Budweiser, Hewlett-Packard and General Motors, Forbes said.
In March, Jay-Z, 36, sold his Rocawear fashion label for $204 million -- a sum that will again place him high up in the music world's earnings for 2007.
Coming in at No. 2 was rapper 50 Cent, a.k.a Curtis Jackson. He earned $32 million from his music and businesses such as a record label, video games and a line of books, the survey said.
Diddy -- real name Sean Combs -- came in third. He owns the Sean John clothing label and a cologne that he licensed to Estee Lauder. He also is an MTV television producer. Timbaland, whose real name is Timothy Mosley, was No. 4 with earnings of $21 million from collaborations and running Mosley Music Group.
Dr. Dre, a.k.a. Andre Young, grabbed fifth place with $20 million from ventures that include running Aftermath Entertainment, followed by Eminem at No. 6, who brought in $18 million, and Snoop Dogg at No. 7, who earned $17 million.
Forbes associate editor Lea Goldman said the hip-hop stars are "masters at branding and cross-promotion" so that "they're still making a killing as the rest of the music industry suffers."
"They get that it's not just about selling albums, but about selling a lifestyle," she said. "So they've plowed their earnings into media empires that include their own record labels, clothing lines, restaurants and bars."
Grammy award winner Kanye West was No. 8 with $17 million followed by Pharrell Williams, who has his own sneaker and clothing lines, and Scott Storch, a former keyboardist with the Roots turned hip-hop and pop writer and producer. Both also earned $17 million.

Tom Cruise Film Company
United Artists, the film company run by actor Tom Cruise and Chief Executive Paula Wagner, said on Thursday it raised $500 million through Merrill Lynch to fund 15 to 18 movies over the next five years.
Wagner called the financing "a milestone event" for United Artists, which was revived last year by Cruise, Wagner and their studio partner, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.
"It leaves us perfectly poised to realize our vision of making movies that are both important and commercial," Wagner said in a statement.
Financial details were not disclosed.
One of Hollywood's biggest box office draws, Cruise has starred in blockbusters like "Mission: Impossible" and Oscar contenders such as "Jerry Maguire."
But last year, Cruise's long-time studio partner Paramount Pictures cut its ties to Cruise and Wagner following the release of "Mission: Impossible III" -- an international hit with $264 million at overseas box offices, but only a modest success with $134 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales.
Cruise and Wagner went to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer where they partnered with the studio behind the James Bond movies to revive United Artists.
Separately, a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer spokesman refuted a published report that Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank had withdrawn from underwriting $1 billion in financing for MGM.
MGM's Jeff Pryor said the studio never had a firm deal with Goldman Sachs or Deutsche Bank, so there was never a commitment from which to withdraw.
"We are confident we will come to (a financing package for MGM), but we are not in any hurry to do a slate deal," Pryor said. "Slate" is used to describe a group of upcoming films.
Pryor added that MGM's priority was completing the United Artists funding, which demonstrated "that even in tough market conditions, good product will always prevail."
United Artists said it expects to release four to six films a year. First up is Drama "Lions for Lambs," directed by Robert Redford and set for a November release. Beyond that, World War II thriller "Valkyrie" will hit theaters in the summer of 2008.
MGM is owned by a consortium of companies including private equity firms Texas Pacific Group and Providence Equity Partners, Sony Corp and Comcast Corp.

Psycho Britney Does It Again
Another day, another bit of bizarre Britney behavior. The cover of the September issue of Allure magazine features Britney Spears posed provocatively in jeans and dark brown wig, her bare breasts covered by her arms. There are two similar shots inside the mag. She very cooperatively posed for the shots in April.
When it came to sitting for the interview she had also agreed to, that became a much different matter.
"Britney showed up for Allure's cover shoot on time and ready to work," editor-in-chief Linda Wells wrote in an a letter for the issue, on newsstands Tuesday.
"She was entirely unself-conscious: She took off her wig and then stripped down to the waist, for no apparent reason, before sitting for hair and makeup," Wells said. "She was agreeable and cooperative on the shoot and left at the end of the day, followed by a trail of paparazzi."
As for the interview that was to follow, the 25-year-old Spears missed four appointments with Allure interviewer Judith Newman, Wells said.
At one point, Spears put off the chat because she was "delayed by important work in the recording studio," Newman wrote. But, she added, "The paparazzi found her a few hours later at a salon, getting her nails done." .
What do you do when you have no profile to accompany some alluring photographs? Newman wrote a first-person essay about her experience trying to track down Spears.
"Britney has long lost her role-model status," Wells commented. "That dream of a comeback seems to occupy an ever-more-distant speck on the horizon."

Gwen Hoping For Baby
Gwen Stefani says she wants more children but not while she's on tour and not until she's done another No Doubt record. Her 1-year-old son, Kingston, has been traveling with the 37-year-old singer on her "The Sweet Escape" tour.
"I go from the tour bus to the hotel room to the concert venue all while carrying my baby," Stefani tells InStyle in its September issue, on newsstands Friday.
"He's just getting into music. He does the whole head-bouncing thing," she says. "I love him so much. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me."
Kingston is the first child for Stefani and her rocker husband, Gavin Rossdale, 39, who were married in 2002.
"Obviously I'm in a race to have another, but I don't want to do it while on tour," Stefani says. "And I want to do another No Doubt record."
"But I can't wait to get pregnant again," she tells the magazine. "It's so fun and consuming and romantic."
Stefani became a staple in the music world with the 1995 release of No Doubt's "Tragic Kingdom" record. British-born Rossdale, who fronted Bush, made his American debut with the more sober album "Sixteen Stone."

Foxy Brown's Temper Flares
Foxy Brown's temper seems to have gotten her in trouble again. The 27-year-old rapper, who is on probation for attacking two manicurists at a nail salon in 2004, has been charged with assault and possession of a weapon her cell phone for allegedly hitting a neighbor with her BlackBerry.
Earlier this year, she was threatened with jail in a hair salon incident in Florida. Police said Brown threw hair glue at a beauty shop employee.
The latest arrest could lead to her probation being revoked.
"We have filed a violation of probation with the court," said Jack Ryan, a spokesman for the city Department of Probation.
Brown was arrested Tuesday for allegedly assaulting Arlene Raymond, 25, who lives near the rapper in the Prospect Heights section of Brooklyn, on July 30. Police said the two women got into a fight over Brown blasting her car stereo.
Raymond alleged that a few days later, they passed each other on the street and Brown hurled her BlackBerry at her, cutting her lip and knocking a tooth loose.
Brown, whose real name is Inga Marchand, was released on $50,000 bail after her arraignment Tuesday on charges of felony assault, misdemeanor assault and criminal possession of a weapon. Her manager, Chaz Williams, said the charges were false.
Brown's lawyer, state Sen. John Sampson, didn't immediately respond to requests Thursday for comment.
The rapper was accused of violating probation in the incident at the Florida hair salon. She was threatened with jail, but was restored to probation in good standing in June by a Manhattan judge, who said Brown had kept appointments with her probation officer, passed drug tests and attended required anger management classes.

Hilton Clothing Released
Police and city workers were called in to handle the crowd and a lane of traffic was closed as Paris Hilton unveiled her clothing line Thursday at a trendy boutique.
The heiress, author, singer, perfume designer and reality-TV star unveiled the line at Kitson, a boutique known for its celebrity clientele. The lane was closed for pedestrians' safety, a city spokesman said.
Clad in a gold sequin mini-dress, Hilton, 26, emerged from a black SUV to a throng of fans who spilled into the street. Inside the store, Hilton was all smiles.
"It's a dream come true to have my own clothing line," she said. "It's just Paris style: fun, bright and flashy."
The collection, which Hilton described as "really comfortable" and "really affordable," includes shoes, T-shirts and jeans. Hilton said she spent a year submitting and approving designs.
"It's just from my closet to their closets," she said. Additional pieces will be released next month, she said.
The heiress also discussed other newsy matters in her life: her pregnant pal, Nicole Richie ("She's going to be a great mom," Hilton said), and the pending sale of her Hollywood Hills home.
"I'm going to miss my house because I love it. I really designed it to be my perfect taste," she said. "But too many people know where I live and I'd rather be in a gated community."

Paris Hilton at a Book Store?????
You gotta hand it to Paris Hilton - the girl knows how to create an image. Be it good or bad, she's very much in control of how she looks when in front of the cameras. The former socialite/future humanitarian checked out some architecture books in Malibu this weekend... ooh, does this mean she has more interests than just shopping? Does she want to be an architect?? Do we care?! Anyway, she was basically on her phone the whole time so she probably wasn't paying too much attention. Maybe she thought they were Dr. Seuss books! I jest, I jest.
Another Britney Spears Subpoena Served!
Looks like Alli won't have to worry about loneliness when she heads down to the courthouse - according to Us Magazine Daimon Shippen\, Britney's other constant companion, got hit with a subpoena last night! The magazine specifically quotes a source in Kevin Federline's camp as describing Shippen as having "a unique position having worked with Britney for a long time and has incredible knowledge of her parenting skills and comings and goings." Of course, our source says Britney's a big-time hands-on mother - looks like this custody battle's going to be one for the ages!
Poor Daimon - this probably wasn't in the job description!
Mary-Kate Loves Older Men
21-year-old Mary-Kate Olsen is in the new movie, ‘The Wackness,’ with 63-year-old Sir Ben Kingsley
where the two share a steamy scene together. The movie, currently
shooting in New York, is directed by Jonathan Levine and is about a
drug dealer who trades marijuana for therapy sessions with his shrink,
played by Kingsley.
I’m not sure how Mary-Kate fits into the movie, but she reportedly
hooks up with Kingsley in what is described as a “full on make-out
session.”
Just to put this into perspective. When Mary-Kate was 2-years-old on ‘Full House,’ Sir Ben was 44. Nice Visual.
Paris Crushes Fans
Two giddy (and, frankly, too grown) female fans approached the front gate of Paris Hilton's Malibu home yesterday hoping to torment meet the hotel heiress. Even stalkers are hotter at the beach!
Bordering
on harassment -- but settling on just plain annoying -- the duo
proceeded to buzz the intercom repeatedly to ask for Paris. The cunning
Miss Hilton tried to disguise her voice as a maid -- with a
faux-Spanish accent to boot, like fellow celebuwreck Britney Spears did at a drive-thru yesterday! Que pasa locas!
The
plan nearly went off without a hitch -- until one of the fans saw Paris
through the gate! Foiled again! Guess this star wasn't blind to these
fans!

Don Imus Settlement
The Associated Press is reporting that shock jock Don Imus has reached
a settlement with CBS after the broadcaster was fired for making racist
and sexist comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team. Calling
Al Sharpton!
According to an AP source, the settlement keeps CBS
out of court and away from Imus' threatened $120 million breach of
contract lawsuit and a possible "non-disparaging agreement" which would
keep Imus from speaking negatively about his former employer. Shut yo'
mouth!
In addition, WABC is reportedly in talks with the radio star to bring him back to the airwaves.

Ving Rhames Killer Dogs
The bizarre dog attack that killed a caretaker at actor Ving Rhames
home just got weirder. The LA County Coroner tells TMZ that it was most
likely something else, and not the dogs, that killed Jacob
Adams. Ving, for his part, isn't waiting for a the final report. He's
already made up his mind as to what happened.
According to the
Coroner, the abrasions and lacerations on Adams' body caused by the
dogs were "most likely not fatal." Huh? Then just HOW did the guy die?
We're told we won't know that until toxicology test results come out.
Initial reports indicated Adams may have suffered a heart attack, but
that has yet to be confirmed by the Coroner.
Ving, for his part, issued the following statement yesterday:
I
was out of the country when this shocking and terrible tragedy occurred
on my property. Jacob Adams was not just a devoted employee -- he was
also a dear friend. I want to offer my heartfelt condolences to his
family. I am relieved to know that the coroner's report confirmed that
my dogs were not the cause of his death -- and that any wounds found on
his body were superficial. I would appreciate the media's privacy for
me and my family during this difficult time.

Paris Hilton Media Blackout
Paris Hilton is angry about her recent media blackout. Since shortly after her
release from prison, several international news agencies have refused to carry
stories about the socialite for at least one month.
From a club in Las
Vegas, Hilton offered the following statement: "I have the wind blow my dress up
and show everyone my pink panties, and no one sees or hears about it. Everyone
in the country saw Britney's and that American Idol girl's panties."
"I
bend over and my breast falls out of my top and no snaps a picture. Claire Danes
does it, and she becomes front page news (even when her new movie bombs at the
box office)."
"I try acting stupid like Jessica Simpson and say that a
trollop is a small scoop of whipped cream and a skank is a male skunk, and
everyone ignores me."
"I've tried getting out of limos without my
panties. I've tried barbequing my dog Tinkerbell. I've driven the wrong way on
one way streets. I've spit on cops and gotten busted for DWI all over again. I
even threw another temper tantrum outside of a court house and no one
cares!"
"What do I have to do to be a media darling again? Why are you
people just ignoring me and treating me like an average, ordinary, white trash
skank?"
A.P. U.P.I. Reuters, CNN, ESPN, USA Today, ABC, NBC, CBS,
Foxnews, the BBC, the CBC, and Telemundo all declined comment and refused to run
her diatribe.
Now, since you had to really search to find this Paris
Hilton story, are you proud of yourself?

Britney Spears Exclusive Interview on X17
X17 has spoken exclusively with a source we've
witnessed to be very close to Britney -- we grabbed him as he left
Winston's Friday night with Brit and Alli (he snuck out the back door,
but X17 was there!). "Jeff" as he called himself (not Jeff Kwatinetz
who was rumored to be Brit's new manager), has been close to Britney
and/or Britney's family since before all of her recent troubles began.
And here’s what he told us ...
“Britney does NOT do drugs!,” says "Jeff" who tells
us he’s strictly against any type of drug use and against anyone
involved in any type of drug use. She might enjoy a drink or two when
she goes out but that’s it. And the lollipops? -- "They're Tootsie Roll
pops, not suckers laced with drugs or whatever Kevin's camp is claiming
-- I've never even heard of that!" She doesn't even go out on nights
when she has the kids and she becomes very sad immediately after they
leave. Her world revolves around her children -- 98% of her energy is
spent on her children and at this point her career takes a distant
second.
Britney never hated Kevin. He was "hardly even present
during most of their marriage" but for the sake of being with her
children 24/7, "Jeff" says, she would have considered staying with him.
However, in order to be a happier mom, she felt it would be best to
part ways with him. Jeff says: “Staying with a liar just to make life
easier for your children -- if that's not pure devotion for your kids,
then what is?? Britney can get any guy she wants, it's just hard to
weed out the good ones from the bad ones"
Britney is NOT worried about Kevin's battle for custody
of Sean and Jayden because she knows no one around her has evidence or
proof of her doing anything negative that would make her an unfit
mother because she has been nothing but a responsible, loving mom.
According to Jeff: "Anyone close to Britney knows that she's an angel
when it comes to being a mom and a friend."
Everyday life for Britney with her kids consists of 23.9 hours/day
focused on the boys, "mom, mom, mom constantly," NO soda in their
bottles -- in fact hardly any soda in the house, claims "Jeff." Britney
spends all day playing with the boys while they're there and allows no
strangers in the house and conducts very little work-related business
when they're around. “Her kids are everything to her, there's no doubt
about it,” he says.
The negative? -- our source says, "You mean besides
the fact she's never made me those potatoes au gratin like she
promised? -- haha!" There's nothing normal about her life right now."
With the media focused on her like they are and the constant legal
battles arising from her family, Britney is anxious over the constant
pressure and threats. “She's a young girl, who's finally attempting to
be totally independent and that's just something that the people around
her -- business people -- do not want to see happen. When someone gets
fired, they immediately decide to hop on board with all the haters.
However you never see them report anything negative when they're
employed, they just run to the tabloids and try to sell their bogus
stories after she's canned them. Any celebrity of her magnitude will
tell you how hard it is to have your life scrutinized every second of
the day, however she remains as polite as possible to the press. She
doesn’t feel as if she needs to defend herself in the media and I
agree. Just don't get in the way of her kids; she is a mother and she
is very protective of her sons, as she should be.”
On Britney's family -- our source says, "They have
issues of their own that they need to work on. They need to quit
blaming Britney.” He's totally "turned off by Britney's family at the
moment" He's also somewhat disappointed in her mom for being so naive
and trusting the people that Britney fired rather than trusting her own
daughter. It was due to the influence of Larry Rudolph on her family
that Britney was forced in to rehab and while she was there, according
to "Jeff." He also claims Promises staff administered medication on
Britney despite a record of constantly clean drug tests that showed no
traces of anything in her body. He says Promises quickly backed off
from the accusations of drug and alcohol abuse and then claimed
postpartum depression after the drug results were clean, but either way
... Britney was FORCED to stay in rehab because her family, her manager
and officials at Promises were all threatening to take away her
children unless she completed the treatment program. “I think Lynne
does love her daughter, however I also believe Britney's anger towards
her is justified. But come on, all moms and daughters have their
arguments. Britney is just upset right now, her family needs to just be
there when she's ready to call upon them."
So why'd Britney shave her head? -- Kevin taunted
Britney that even his smoking of marijuana in her presence (Jeff showed
us a pic of Kevin on his phone of Kev with a joint in his hands,
partying with his friends) would leave traces of the drug that could be
picked up by drug testing when they lived together and he threatened to
use that against her in a custody battle. After Britney shaved her
head, she begged her mom and Kevin to test the hair from the salon
however no one went to claim it. Instead, Larry and her family staged
an intervention in a hotel room with the same interventionist that put
Britney's father Jamie in rehab and also worked with her brother.
Britney begged for them to give her a drug test but eventually felt
there was no other option but to enter a treatment program to prove to
her family that she was clean and to protect herself from any unfounded
accusations in a potential custody battle. Britney met with attorneys
over a month ago regarding legal action against Promises. "I think she
certainly has a case against the rehab center, I feel what they did to
her was not only cruel and embarrassing it added more ammunition aiding
Kevin's eagerness for custody over her finances, whoops I mean
children."
"Jeff" raised the question -- why would Kevin file a civil case if he were truly worried about his kids'
welfare when they're with Britney? He could have just called Child
Protective Services and gotten any urgent claims handled that way,
however his dispute now is clearly for financial gain. Britney isn't
hiding anything. And why didn't he fight for full custody of his kids
with Shar Jackson if he loves his kids so much?"
Our source says "Britney is the most generous person you could meet
-- too generous" and that she doesn't focus on money at all. She has
supported her family financially for years and feels that they
shouldn't be so quick to judge her at times. Britney does have a good
relationship with her sister Jamie Lynne. Despite the current rocky
family emotions "Jeff" does feel that a reconciliation sometime in the
future is possible because he says, “Britney is all about family. I
just believe at the moment, she’s angry, she feels betrayed and she has
every right to feel this way. Deep down, that entire family does love
one another and it's just a matter of time before they're all together
again."
Britney and the press -- “Britney is very clever.
She's a seasoned celebrity veteran, if anyone knows how the press spins
stories, its Britney. Get it straight people, Britney doesn't go out
when her kids are home!! Come on, she has shared custody there is half
the week when she's not with her kids! The press needs to quit being so
ignorant at times. If you had 50 cameras and cameramen hovering around
you, inches away from you at all times, pushing and shoving, wardrobe
malfunctions are bound to happen.”
Britney's love life? -- "Jeff" says “Britney's like a
little girl at times" and is "shy around guys. She's young and single
and would love to find the right man; how can anyone blame her for
that. I think she forgets sometimes that she’s a mega-star, someone who
changed the face of music, an historical icon that still has a lot to
learn and a lot more still to offer."
Whew! This is the interview every magazine is trying to get, but you have it here, exclusively on X17online.com
"Jeff" has turned down countless offers rumored to be over $500,000 to
tell this story but decided to speak directly to X17 outside the club
(after a little prodding!). He wasn’t interested in money, just in
setting the record straight.

Eddie Murphy Speaks Out
With all of the baby mama drama going on around Eddie Murphy and right behind the DNA test ruling that he is in fact Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Murphy who is 46 has publicly admitted the paternity, and said that he has paid child support as well as covering all of Brown's pregnancy expenses. The story gets sticky when Scary Spicy claims that the baby was planned and Eddie Murphy denies that this was ever planned.
Eddie Murphy "views this as a private matter and as such, will not be making any further comments about it."
Now if only Scary could learn to act more like an adult instead of a child. Baby mama's of the world need a lesson in how to behave in public and towards the father of your child!

Paris Won't Comment
Despite best efforts by paparazzi all around the Hollywood area Paris Hilton just won't say anything about her friend Nicole Richie's pregnancy. Perhaps Paris is feeling a bit jealous?
Ving Rhames Dog Kills Man
One of Ving Rhames own employees has been mauled and killed by his four dogs including 3 Mastiffs and even an English Bulldog. Police reported receiving a call at 7:15 this morning about a black male dead on the front lawn and found the 40 year old employee.
The victim was apparently hired by Rhames to care for the property as well as the dogs and calls to Rhames reps have not been returned. The actor is also out of town and was not present when the incident occurred. While the man has numerous bite marks over his body, the medical examiner is unsure whether he was killed by the dogs, or whether the man sustained a heart attack or some other medical condition that caused his actual death.
As more information is released we will keep you up to date.

She has until September 28, 2007 to serve her 4 days in the pokey.

Dog the Bounty Hunter May Go Free!!!
In a strange twist the Mexican authorities have said that they are considering letting Dog the Bounty Hunter go and drop all of the charges against him for the unlawful arrest he made previously in Mexico. This to me is a huge shock, someone like him who acts so self-righteous about others breaking the law should stand up and take responsibility as well. When he crossed into Mexico he didn't care about doing things legally, he wanted to make a name for himself and he has accomplished!
This to me is as bad as the 2.5 days Paris served originally for a 45 day sentence. Send him back to Mexico and throw away the key!!!!

K-Fed Is Free!!!
In a finalized divorce today K-Fed and Britney Spears are now both single! The bad news is there is a 50/50 share custody split still, however rumors are running that K-Fed will be filing for sole custody VERY soon, possibly before the end of the week even. Britney's lawyer Laura Wasser has even asked the judge to seal the custody papers pertaining to the divorce in order to protect the children. Reason for sealing the papers is Britney's lawyer is claiming the custody papers spell out exactly which parent the children are with, as well as all of the transportation issues. Until August the papers are sealed and a final hearing will decide if the papers will be sealed for good.
K-Fed however is raking in a tidy sum of only $15,000 in child support each month, as well as $20,000 each month in spousal support. Spousal support was set in accordance to the pre-nup that was agreed upon before the marriage, how the child support number was decided is still unknown.

Britney Spears Clubbing With Justin Mandile
So who exactly is Justin Mandile? He is the 25 year old real estate agent who works at Sotheby's Beverly Hills. This is the same guy who has thrown down with the likes of Nicky and Paris Hilton to find a place along with the recent Britney Spears. Seems a bit strange she's out club hopping with her real estate agent, but then again she was out with the bodyguard too, so many it's not weird in Britneyland.
Christina Aguilera Cancels
With a bad viral upper respiratory tract infection holding the girl down she has had to cancel two different shows in Melbourne, Australia that were scheduled for Saturday and Monday night. Christina did release the following statement to her fans through a spokesman though.
"Unfortunately, I have fallen ill with a bad flu virus. This is one of the best cities in the world to perform in and I am truly disappointed that I won't be able to share my show with you all. Thank you for all of the continued love and support and I hope to perform for you all again next time."

Lynne Spears Party In Vegas
With Britney melting down everywhere guess it is a good idea to follow around behind her to party...errrr question her behavior. After all, what's better than this, she can hit all of the same party spots and just question staff on her daughters wacky behavior while she parties as well! Lynne took Jamie Lynn with her and they ended up crashing several hot Vegas clubs including Pure.
Jessica Alba and Cash Warren Woes
Considering Jessica ordered her assistant to pack up all of Cash's belonging from their home it seems a bit strange that the couple may end up married but according to sources Jessica's upset because her friend has gotten married and she wants to settle down and get married as well. Seems that Cash isn't quite as ready as Jessica for marriage and the problems erupted, if Cash comes up with a ring to walk down the isle with the happy couple will be happy again.

Can I wrap That Bone For You?
Nicholas Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio sure do have some strange collections that they are determined to grow. The two paired off into a bidding war earlier for the quest to take home a 67 million year old dinosaur skull. Yes you read that right, a skull. Nicholas Cage is now the proud owner of the $276,000 skull of a tryanosaurus bataar which is the Asian cousin of the T-Rex.
Now that the collections are starting to include some strange additions such as skulls we can only wait to see what people like Paris start collecting.

Dogfighting Blow to Michael Vick
Do you know what happens when you are an NFL player indicted for dog fighting? Well from what's happening to Michael Vick you are suspended from just about everything known to man including his Nike, Reebok and the trading card contract he had. Nike itself has released the following statement:
"Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick, and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent."
According to Nike they had already stopped selling all Vick products before the indictment was filed, but after the indictment was returned they decided it was time to suspend his contract. Reebok has even pulled his jersey, and the trading card companies have pulled his card from the packs that are being released.
Guess his life is going to the dogs right about now.

Lindsay Lohan's Not Spilling Beans
According to Lohan's reps Lindsay is not scheduled to do a tell-all interview with OK! Magazine this week. "There is absolutely no truth to the report that Lindsay is doing a tell-all interview with OK! Magazine," says Lohan's rep. "Or anyone else this week. That is completely fabricated."
Guess someone has told Lindsay that she really should stay quiet right now. No tell-all interview hitting newsstands this week at least.

Lindsay Lohan's Newest Movie
Seems that Lindsay's weekend was not a good one once the movie critics were finished with her new movie. "I Know Who Killed Me" came out only Friday and already reviews are not looking good.
"No review could really do justice to the monumental trashiness of this mess; it really has to be seen to be believed," wrote Elizabeth Weitzman of the Daily News.
Can we say OUCH?
Lou Lumenick of the New York Post, "I Know..." is "[A] sleazy, inept and worthless piece of torture porn."
Double OUCH!
"Who could've predicted a bust for alleged cocaine possession, vocational self-destruction, and a general display of young Hollywood stupidity would be the career highlight of Lohan's weekend," wrote EFilmCritic.com writer Brian Orndorf.
Knock out punch! Perhaps she should be a bit pickier about which movies she takes on in the future.

Usher's Canceled Wedding Update
Apparently sources are claiming that the entire wedding has been a hassle since the beginning. With his mom not invited until the last minute, can't agree upon the reception and all of the hassles that being a step-dad to three kids involves it seems to be a good idea that Usher has canceled this wedding. The reason for the apparent rush wedding was because they wanted the wedding over before Tameka Foster started showing, but wouldn't she already be showing at 6 months if she really was pregnant? Perhaps Ms. Foster was playing games and really isn't pregnant, because with a due date of fall she should be showing already, rather than later.
Seems there is a whole lot of unanswered questions waiting to emerge. Fact remains however, never come between a man and his mama!

Matt Damon Receives a Star
The Borne Ultimatum star Matt Damon received his very own gold star in Hollywood on the Walk of Fame on Wednesday July 25th and was surrounded by his wife, mother and a ton of fans to celebrate his latest success.
Rod Stewart Gives Tommy Lee Blessing
With a family all wrapped up in media attention it seems only natural that you should seek out as much support as possible from family and it seems that Kimberly Stewart has done that. Daddy Rod has given his approval at rocker Tommy Lee dating Kimberly. According to sources Rod was impressed when the 44 year old Motley Crue drummer was determined to land a helicopter in his yard to impress the 27 year old Kimberly.
Donald Trump Gives Lindsay Lohan Advice
If you are one of the richest and most successful men in the world you are certainly in a position to hand out advice and the Donald couldn't pass up the opportunity to spew some at Lindsay lately. His advice to Lohan was "Find what you love doing (other than drugs and alcohol), work hard, stay focused, get a new set of parents."
Guess The Donald isn't a fan of Dina and Michael Lohan huh?

Paris Hilton Launching Fashion Line
So she tortures the world with her singing and now she's launching a fashion line. Hopefully the clothes are at least decent. If you are game to check it out the line launches on August 16th at Kitson in L.A. According to the store anyone who purchases $100 or more in gift vouchers can have the jailbird herself help style them! Talk about seeing orange and stripes! With the heiress only expected to be on site from 1-3p.m. she won't be designing for many. However, here is some of the charity work that is associated with her name, the store is donating a "percentage of the proceeds of the event" to the Children's Hospital. What that percentage is hasn't been released.
Eddie Murphy Getting Hitched
Eddie Murphy baby daddy to Scary Spice's baby has popped the question of marriage to his girlfriend Tracey Edmonds with a giant yellow diamond engagement ring. With a small and private wedding in the future, it looks like this funny man is ready to settle down and be serious. How the baby mama problems will affect his future wife is still unknown, but they sure do look happy together.
Paris Shooting Her Video
Looks like Paris really is serious about torturing the world with her next album, the former jailbird was spotted shooting her video at LaChappelle Studios and then decided she had worked enough and jetted off on a small vacay yet again. Hopefully she keeps her legs closed this time, the world can't stand to see any more of her.
33 Things You Didn’t Know About 50 Cent
1 • His mother dealt drugs to support him
Sabrina Jackson gave birth to Curtis on July 6, 1975. She was 15. “She wanted to provide for me, but she didn’t see Burger King as an option,” 50 says. “She found other means: hustling.” His grandmother would mind him for weeks on end. “My mama substituted presents for time: Every time I seen her, it was Christmas.”
2 • She told him he’d been an immaculate conception
“One day I asked her, ‘Mama, why don’t I have a father?’” he recalls. “She said, ‘You was an immaculate conception, like Jesus.’ She was just trying to make me feel special.”
3 • To this day, he’s never met his dad
“I don’t know who he was, and I have no interest in knowing,” he says. “I mean, it’s a source of regret. He could have helped me in life. But that period has passed.”
4 • Before he was 50 Cent, he was Boo-Boo
“My aunt used to say, ‘Come here, Boo-Boo!’ and it just stuck.” Was it hard to command respect on the streets with a name so cuddly? “It’s scarier that way,” 50 says. “If someone calls themselves Terminator, you’re like, ‘Yeah, right!’”
5 • In 1994, he was sentenced to prison for possession of 280 grams of crack and 4 ounces of heroin
To avoid hard time, he enrolled in New York’s Shock Incarceration program: boot camp for felons. For six months upstate, he awoke at 5:30 A.M., did push-ups on his knuckles and sawed trees.
6 • His mom swung both ways
50 Cent recalls: “I ain’t see males around my mom. My mama liked women. But I would never see anything that would make me think something sexual was going on. It didn’t dawn on me till later.”
7 • When 50 was 8, his mother was murdered
Sabrina kept her own apartment across town. In 1983, someone drugged her and turned on her gas oven, leaving her to die. “When they found her, her body was fucked up,” 50 later recalled. Today, he says, “My biggest loss was my mom. Everything that went wrong was wrong because
she wasn’t there — if I wanted to go to the park and it started raining, it was raining ’cause my mother wasn’t there.”
With 50, his grandparents and eight aunts and uncles all under one roof, money was tight. “Hustling was the only option,” he explains. “I wasn’t thinking about a career. I was looking for instant gratification.”
9 • He says his aunts and uncles were his first customers …
“They’d have parties, and at the time, cocaine was like marijuana — it was common. I’d say, ‘Yo, I’ll go pick it up for you,’ then run to the side of the house where I put it in a little bag. It went from there to me hustling from 3 to 6 P.M. every day. My grandparents thought I was
in an after-school program.”
10 • … but one uncle’s addiction almost got 50 killed
A complaint kept arising — his bags were light. He says he discovered his uncle Star had been dipping into his stash. “If the guys I had been selling light bags to thought I was cheating them on purpose, they would have killed me,” he later wrote in his autobiography. He beat his
uncle with a giant wooden fork in reprisal. “To this day, Star and I don’t speak much.”
11 • Even without giant utensils, he packed a killer right hook
When 50 was 14, an older neighborhood dealer opened up a small boxing gym for local kids. “When I wasn’t killing time in school, I was sparring in the gym or selling crack on the strip,” 50 recalled. He took what he learned in the ring out onto the streets: “At the
slightest infraction, I was punching someone in the face.”
12 • He lost his virginity at age 12
“It went well — I was 12 and she was 21!” he says, grinning. “I spent a night at my friend’s house, and his sister had her friend staying over, too. So I started to touch on her. I was a horny little dog, and I got away with it.”
13 • His secret stash spot? Women’s panties!
One morning, when he was 19, 50 was out hustling with the help of a girlfriend when the cops swooped in. “When they searched her, they found 36 vials of crack and 12 packs of heroin in her underwear,” he later recalled.
14 • The streets were 50’s business school. There were hostile takeovers …
At Shock, 50 met a stick-up kid from Brooklyn named Jah. “When we got out, I brought him into my area to rob all the dealers who weren’t part of my group. I said, ‘You can have all the money, just give me their pieces.’”
15 • … special promotions …
“I would take the pieces from Jah and give them away free with every purchase. So even if the fiends catch a sale with someone else, they would go, ‘Nah, I can get this for free!’”
16 • … and market saturation
“When there’s money to be made, there’s no hours, no going home,” 50 says. “In the music business, I adapt the same concepts. When it’s not 50 Cent’s album, it’s the G-Unit album. When it’s not Young Buck, it’s Lloyd Banks. I’m here constantly.”
17 • His next brush with the law involved a high-speed motor cycle chase — and cross-dressing
Shortly after his release, 50 was mis taken for a murder suspect who owned a motorcycle similar to his. When a squad car tried to stop 50 on Queens’s Guy Brewer Boulevard, he fled, escaping only after several squad cars and a helicopter had given chase. He snuck into his
grandmother’s house, donned a dress and a wig, and slipped past patrolmen outside. “They must have been like, ‘Damn, that’s an ugly bitch,’” 50 jokes. The real murderer was apprehended later that day.
18 • He’s a pretty easygoing dad
Does 50 let 10-year-old Marquise listen to his music? “Of course. If I say something a little racy, I’ll be like, ‘You know what that means?’ and he’ll be like, ‘Yeah.’ He already knows. The kids know. The problem is that their parents aren’t asking them the questions. I went into his
room the other night and he was on this porno site — big-booty girls. He was like, ‘I just clicked a link!’ Kids are gonna be kids, man.”
19 • A Queens hip-hop legend gave him his big break
The same year Marquise was born, in 1997, 50 Cent met Run-D.M.C.’s Jam Master Jay at a club. A childhood fan of Rakim, 50 had written only one rhyme, in 1995, for fun — “I don’t remember it exactly, but it was street,” he says. Jay was impressed by his singsong delivery and by his story, and brought 50 into his fold.
20 • Well, it was almost his big break
Things moved quickly: Jay brought 50 to the attention of Columbia Records, they signed him, he recorded an album, then … nothing. “When I met Jay, I wasn’t a starving artist,” 50 says. “But right after I committed to music, I starved.” To keep up with the bills, he returned
to hustling.
21 • He became a papa in 1997 — and started working on his crack-game exit strategy
When then-girlfriend Shaniqua Tompkins gave birth to his son Marquise, 50 quit dealing. As he puts it: “My mama’s motivation to get into the game was my motivation to get out.”
On May 24, 2000, a gunman shot 50 Cent nine times in front of his grandmother’s house. In his autobiography, 50 hints that the hit came about because he’d insulted drug kingpin Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff, but when asked explicitly in interviews about McGriff’s involvement, 50 has demurred. Either way, he was hospitalized, Columbia dropped him — and, unbeknownst to him, his glorious future was guaranteed.
23 • His next mentor was … “Weird Al”?
With a head full of new rhymes and no label to release them, 50 Cent turned to New York’s mix-tape circuit. Instead of filling the samizdat titles with throwaway rhymes, he approached them like albums: “I wrote my freestyles in song format.” He also recorded parodies of hits. As he put it later, “I took the ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic approach.”
When 50 started booking shows, advertising his whereabouts made him nervous. “I wore a vest ’cause I knew it could pop off,” he explains. During 50’s first tour, Marquise wore one, too.
“I was at the airport to go see them when my vest set off the metal detector,” 50 recalls. A TSA supervisor who’d heard his songs let him through anyway. “If they hadn’t let me take the vest, I probably wouldn’t have gone.”
26 • His is the fastest-selling debut of all time
In its first week, 2003’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’ sold nearly 900,000 copies — and did it again in week two.
27 • He’s available for Bar mitzvahs!
“The last Bar Mitzvah I booked, I got paid $500,000 for 30 minutes,” 50 explains. “That’s not a fixed rate, but it’s in the ballpark.”
“I got 500 pairs,” he says. “All G-Unit. A bunch of different colors, limited editions. Tony Yayo is a size over me, but he’ll squeeze his feet into mine and borrow them.”
After Kanye West railed on Dubya post-Katrina, 50 defended the prez, calling him a “gangsta.”
30 • He keeps his most revealing music for himself
On 2005’s “Hate It or Love It,” 50 rapped about his mother’s bisexuality — but that was an exception. “You don’t want to be too complex,” he says. “I have records that I wrote for myself, and they’re playing on my computer at home. Sort of like a diary. But I’m not gonna waste the public’s time with them.”
31 • He’s buddies with Robert de Niro
50’s burgeoning acting career has been respectable — the autobiographical Get Rich or Die Tryin’; the war flick Home of the Brave — if not spectacularly successful. But his biggest role yet is ahead of him, starring opposite De Niro in the upcoming thriller New Orleans. “He invited me to his house — gave me that De Niro look, sizing me up,” 50 says. “But I passed the test.”
Curtis, which 50 says will include several returns to the street-hardened, wisecracking “old 50,” also features collaborations with Akon, Nicole Scherzinger, Robin Thicke, Mary J. Blige and Justin Timberlake. “Basically,” 50 explains, “it’s one of my best pieces of work.”
… Sort of. 50 has alluded to leaving rap behind once his five-record contract expires. “I’ll put out albums like Dre, every five years or every seven,” he clarifies. “I enjoy rapping, but there’s so much more out there.”
Steve Martin's Surprise
Imagine thinking your going to a normal dinner party only to walk into a surprise wedding. This is the situation that went down at Steve Martin's L.A. home on Friday. With surprised guests including Diane Keaton, Eugene Levy, Tom Hanks, and Lorne Michaels in attendance Steve Martin and longtime girlfriend Anne Stringfield got married.
Britney's Disaster
You know it seems this girl can't do anything for her career without turning into a complete trainwreck. During a shoot for her new single "Get Back" Britney Spears broke down completely and turned so hysterical that her video shoot had to be canceled for the day. Has anyone at the studios considered that with all of this girls problems she has no business in a studio and should possibly have some random drug tests? Some of the drugs lately cause erratic behavior which Britney seems to have down pat.
Between her spontaneous pet purchase, no swim suits on the boys swimming, and her 2 botched shoots lately Britney is certainly displaying erratic behavior. Sources on the set of her video have said "You could see she was getting a bit wobbly, but no one expected her to throw a complete fit. Suddenly, she was in floods of tears and stormed off set. She eventually came back but was sobbing hysterically."

Jailhouse Blues
Nicole Richie has been sentenced to 4 days in jail and a fine of $2048 plus 21 days of alcohol education for her 2nd offense DUI charge. Looks like showing up on time and well behaved has a direct impact upon how much time you will serve. Nicole who is expected to have her baby in January sometime is required to report to the L.A. County Jail by September 28th.
Richie Faces The Judge
Nicole is at the L.A. County Superior Court where she is scheduled to appear to answer to charges of her second DUI. Rumors were saying last night that Richie was going to take a plea that would result in a minimum of 5 days in jail. If we remember from Paris's stay in jail 5 days in L.A. is really only 2.5 so we shall see how long she stays. More details available later!
Mother of the Year Award
Ok no not really but it sure would be funny if Britney Spears was nominated. She decided to take a small vacation to Vegas recently taking the boys Sean Preston and Jaden James with her. Her biggest problem isn't the cameraman who shoved Sean accidently, it isn't even the misdemeanor citation that body guard JC or Julio Camera received in connection to the event it is the lack of written permission she has to take the boys out of the State of California from Kevin Federline.
Wonder how this is really going to work out, seems Britney doesn't know how to sneak around and do anything, with the papparazzi following her every move it is quite easy for K-Fed to prove she left the state without permission. Guess Britney won't be enjoying much custody at the rate she's going. Hopefully her yorkie puppy can keep her feeling warm and fuzzy.

Naomi Watts Birth
Naomi Watts had her baby on Thursday morning in the wee hours, however it is still unknown if the baby was a boy or a girl. The magazine that broke news of the birth is "Life & Style" but it will be a while before we know the gender.
Britney Spears Baby Sister Prego?
Rumors are swirling out of the National Enquirer that claims that little 16 year old Jamie Lynn Spears is pregnant! This can only mean that big sister Britney has been a stunning example of how to be a great parent. Whether there is truth to the rumors or not is still unknown, after all it came from the National Enquirer, but still makes some juicy gossip.

Nicole Richie Out of Hiding
We all know that after her postponed court date earlier Nicole disappeared and was not heard from. Now it is time to come out of hiding and Nicole has an interview scheduled with Diane Sawyer of ABC that is scheduled to air on Good Morning America and even 20/20. The dates the interview will be aired is August 2nd and 3rd on Good Morning America and then on 20/20 which airs on August 3rd as well.
Please Say It's a LIE!
Paris Hilton who already hurt people's ears with her first album has headed back into the studio to harm people yet AGAIN! She disappeared into the studio just this morning with her newest dog, of course Tinkerbell is nowhere to be seen and is apparently working on a second album. Apparently enough damage wasn't inflected the first time.
Wasn't Paris supposed to be doing charity work? Wouldn't canceling her second awful album be considered charity work?

Dina Helping Linday
Rumors are running rampant that the coke found on Lindsay Lohan was not hers, at the same time rumors are flying that perhaps she is not who was actually driving. How long it will take the truth to emerge is unknown, but for now Dina is helping her daughter through this difficult time by calling and texting her constantly. Whatever happened to physical comforts, after all Lindsay obviously really needs a parent around, but with dad ordered by the courts to stay away and Dina doing god only knows what it leaves Lindsay all on her own.
Paris Boy Hopping
We all know that there are two Hilton sisters, however typically it is the younger sister that is a troublemaker in a family. Not so in the Hilton household and little Nikki lives in her sisters huge size 11 shoe shadow. To help keep her in the spotlight it is a must to be seen making out with as many guys as possible. This even included the strange looking Cisco Adler former boyfriend of Mischa Barton. Not sure what either girl was thinking about this guy, but I doubt they were sober at the time.
After being caught making out and giving him a lap dance in the club Paris was off to the next club. Wonder who the poor guy was there? Has anyone checked to make sure STD's can't be transmitted by kissing and lap dances?

Britney Spears House Hunting
We all know what can happen in public when you have a psychotic person on the loose. But what happens when the same psychotic person tries to buy a house? Simple, you end up with Britney Spears going swimming in your pool, even taking a bath and using all of the bathrooms. You certainly can't make a house decision without a bath in someone else's home ya'll!
Wonder if Britney has considered that her new $6.5 million dollar home with five bedrooms and eight bathrooms also has a swimming pool? Probably won't be long before Britney forgets the swim suits on the boys again.

Another Celebrity Dog
Looks like Paris Hilton simply couldn't stand that Britney Spears went out and bought a dog. So now Paris ran to Pet of Bel Air and purchased yet another dog herself. This time she has purchased a little chihuahua puppy to add to the collection of dogs she already has including 2 other chihuahuas and even a yorkie puppy. Still waiting to find out what happened to Tinkerbell who hasn't been seen or heard from in weeks at least.
Do these celebs not know how to have their assistant track down a reputable breeder? Must they continue to purchase from pet stores who get their supply of puppies from puppy mills???? Someone please explain to the girls they don't need another dog.

Drew Carey Is the Price is Right?
Surely the execs at CBS have been smoking some of the special grass that is growing in the closets. Drew Carey is good for comedies, not something that is even remotely a normal show. Not sure how well he will be doing with it, but we'll give him a shot. First time he messes up, we shall lock him in the closet.
Car Chases and Lindsay
Apparently someone forgot to tell Lindsay that only stunt drivers should attempt car chases in Hollywood. Lohan was initially stopped by the L.A. police because she was chasing a Cadillac Escalade with a Denali. What happened to cause her to chase the Escalade is currently unknown, however her driving is what has created this mess. Hollywood rich girls should just hire a driver and stay in the passenger seats.
Lohan Bail Set
Lindsay is in the process of being released, her bail has just been set at $25,000 and sh's on her way out of jail yet again. Hopefully someone else is driving her home.
Favorite Rehabilitated Celeb Arrested For DUI
Well it looks as if Lindsay Lohan still has some rehab work left to do. Out in the real world full of temptations she has fallen prey again and was arrested early this morning for DUI as well as a slew of other charges including possession of cocaine, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and even driving on a suspended license.
The poor rehabed celeb was arrested with a blood alcohol level of somewhere in the range of .12 and .13 while the legal limit of California is .08. It seems as if the home based rehab program isn't working as well as Promises was. I hope the rehab center hadn't signed Lohan to be their poster reformed child. Seems she might want to look into a different rehab clinic for the future.

What Happens At a Photo Shoot With a Breakdown Involved?
Simple! Everyone knows that Britney Spears has arrived! I know so harsh, but Britney apparently had a horrible photo shoot for her self arranged OK! Magazine interview that is leaving the magazine dazed and confused. While they are used to dealing with troublesome celebs apparently Britney took the cake with her weird and erratic behavior that would daze and amaze even the most strange of Hollywood celebs.
With several ruined dresses, numerous dog potty accidents, dozens of bathroom breaks and mood swings everyone knew that Britney was in the building. Rumors are running around that say that if the photos are actually released from the photo shoot it could kill her career. Seems strange something could kill a career that is already dead. Apparently Britney needs new manners in how to behave, and a new manager to keep her in line.

Paris and Posh Friends Forever
Ok well maybe not, that would mean that Posh would really have to lower her standards. The other day Posh was overheard saying some not so nice things about poor lil Paris. This whole situation was stirred up because Paris told a British publication that she thought she and Posh could be great friends. HAhahahah someone forgot to tell Posh the good news because she has told a friend "Over my dead body! We couldn't be more different. You won't catch me falling out of nightclubs with no knickers on."
Sounds like the newest Hollywood blond at least has the intelligence to leave the house fully dressed. We can greatly appreciate her style and class, hopefully the celebusluts do not influence her to act badly.

Earth to Britney
Let's discuss this, bras and panties go under your clothes. At the very least, if you are going to strip and go swimming then you should really make sure that your wearing a cute and sexy matching set. The funky pink selection certainly didn't go together.
We can hope in the future Ms. Spears keeps her clothes on after two hour long business meetings.

Paris Votes?
Please say that the fate of the "Free World" does not rest on the beautifully manicured hands of the most famous jailbird in the country! Say it's not so!!!! Paris Hilton is claiming that she votes in every election and even magically voted in the Presidential election last year. Guess someone was smart enough not to tell her when the real election is so she can't screw it up for the rest of the country. Now let's hope her phone doesn't get any messages letting her know when election day really is, she might actually show up which could be a catastrophe!
Mommy Paris?!?
According to sources that spoke to Closer a British magazine Paris Hilton is looking forward to starting a family of her own. Oh the horrors! It has been rumored that if Paris doesn't find Mr. Right immediately that she is considering adoptiong! This is a nightmare in progress if this really does happen, people like Paris certainly do not need to ruin the world with their children.
While the brood of adopted children works really well for people like Angelina, there is no reason why someone like Paris should screw up the poor needy children of the world. Hopefully the adoption agencies are busy with Angelina and Brad and do not have time for Paris.

K-Fed Shopping Spree
So while Britney is walking around buying poor innocent animals such as London to corrupt K-Fed is doing some shopping of his own. Seems the biggest difference is Britney Spears is shopping for herself while K-Fed is shopping for the boys nursery. K-Fed has recently just dropped another $14,000 over the initial $45,000 that Britney spent decorating their rooms after Sean Preson was born.
Rumors are also circulating that K-Fed called child protective services because Britney's pool was unsafe since there was no safety fence surrounding the pool. At this point it is all rumors and speculation since Britney Spears is one of the most hated mothers in the world. But the rumors are swirling that the call to child services is what has prompted Britney to move from her home to the hotel she is staying at lately. Guess she can't afford a fence, or even a new house, especially since she can't afford swim suits for the poor boys.

Perez Hilton Being Sued AGAIN
Ok this seems to be nothing new at all. The self-proclaimed gay Queen of All Media is once again being sued because he doesn't know when to shut his mouth. Samantha Ronson the DJ friend of our favorite recovering alcoholic is after Perez and Sunset Photo Agency for a small price of only $20 million dollars. That's a whole lotta blogging Perez, get busy typing! Samantha's lawsuit is for libel because the Queen...errrr loser of all media has claimed that Samantha has been tipping off the paparazzi for the location of Lindsay and that she stopped on purpose at a gas station so pics of Lindsay passed out in the car could be taken. Perez and the other site also claimed that it was Samantha's coke found in Lindsay's car.
Looks like Perez will be paying out a hella lot of money in the next few years as his number of lawsuits continues to rise. Seems he is the most popular person out of LA to sue! Anyone want to take bets over the next person to sue Perez?

Paris Ego Filled Interview
We all know that Paris Hilton is so full of herself it's not even funny but not the ego trip queen is telling The Sunday Times a British newspaper "There's nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blond - like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana - and right now, ...I'm that icon."
OMG someone knock some sense into her. Someone as famous as Marilyn Monroe, nor as respected as Princess Diana should ever be compared to the celebtrash that Paris Hilton is. That's such a major crime of unlimited proportions. I don't recall ever seeing Princess Diana serving time in jail...guess I missed that breaking news story.

Party Time for Lindsay
After a rather boring 45 day stay at the rehab center Promises Lindsay Lohan left and ran straight to the biggest party city in the country. Celebrating the birthday of pal Jenny was the goal, but sources have said there was no alcohol anywhere near Lindsay. Her publicist Leslie Sloane has said that Lindsay decided to wear an ankle bracelet designed to monitor for alcohol so that she could really stay on the sober side.
We wish Lindsay luck, maybe now the party crew is down to only Britney, Nicole and Paris things can smooth out for everyone.

Calling All Yorkie Breeders!!!
Let me get this straight...Britney Spears can't even manage to find swim suits for her boys, drops them in public (oh wait sorry) almost drops them in public and someone trusted her with a yorkie puppy? Somebody sure wasn't thinking clearly when they sold her that dog. Nor was she thinking clearly when she bought it. Who in their right mind pays $3,000 for a yorkie puppy? I sure haven't spent that much on my yorkies combined and I have 4. Guess as long as you look stupid someone will always pull the sucker routine to make as much dough as possible off of you.

Nicole Plea in the Works?
As the case gears up to get started, rumors are flying that Nicole Richie's lawyers will be taking a plea agreement that has been offered to the accused Nicole. With her motion for a continuance hanging in the balance, and Nicole in Canada it is uncertain whether the plea will be taken, or whether it will be a fast haul back to L.A. to be on time for court.

Prison Break Lane Garrison Hitting the Beach
With his real life starting to look like prison is only a few steps away Lane Garrison was spotted roaming the beaches of Malibu yesterday. Wondering why he's looking at prison in real life as well as the show? Easy, Lane was driving a car that was involved in an accident and has been responsible for killing one teenager and injuring two others. The blood alcohol level that Lane was arrested with was a whopping 0.20 which is more than 2 times the legal limit! Also adding to his problems is the positive test for cocaine. With a confession on the books for vehicular manslaughter he is looking at up to 6 years and 8 months behind bars when he is sentenced on August 2nd.
Nicole's Continuance Given a No Go
Uh oh, seems as if one Hollywood blond should have told another Hollywood blond that pissing off someone with the authority to send you to jail is a big no no these days. With Paris fresh from the jail scene herself, you would think Nicole would be playing good girl in court. Instead she was busy requesting a continuance until August 5th, however the commissioner hearing her case has said no and that the court proceeding will start tomorrow at 8:30a.m. as scheduled no exceptions. Let's see how this little Simple Life girl is able to survive court.
Here's a tip, learn from Paris and at least show up on time if nothing else. Don't keep a judge waiting unless you don't mind waiting behind bars a few days.

Lynne To Court!
Everyone knows that psycho Britney wants her mother as far away as possible from her children, but the reality of the issue could be that Britney Spears has no way to keep her mother away if granny takes her case to the courts. California Family Code Section 3104 gives judges the legal right and power to award grandparents visitation rights if certain criteria is met. One of the biggest requirements is the existence of a preexisting relationship! This is Lynne's case is most definitely true.
The biggest problem for Britney is if K-Fed decides to side with Lynne she could very well walk away with court ordered visitation and there would be nothing Britney could do to stop it. Since K-Fed has made arrangements with Lynne for her to see the kids before the chances of him siding with her are pretty good. Sorry Britney, maybe you can win your next fight.

Lindsay's New Man
Curious about the identity of Lindsay Lohan's newest boy toy? It is none other than A.J. Lamas the son of famous Lorenzo Lamas. With a few acting credits to his name, he may be looking for a name for himself, or helping the Promises resident feel a little more comfortable in her skin.
Gummi Lashes Back at Perez Hilton
With Perez opening his rainbow mouth the other day it was just a matter of time before Gummi lashed back at him. With his lack of true fame coming to bite him in the ass gummy has said that he is nothing more than a "desperate homosexual" and "Perez wishes he could be like the people he writes about". Sounds like Gummi has Perez figured out pretty well. I am starting to think that Gummi could be my next best friend.
Too bad people seem to really care what Perez has to say, after all he has done nothing to be famous, instead he leaches off the fame of others and steals pictures. Nothing original or creative there. My money is on Gummi to win this feud.

Hilary Duff Beach Party
While all celebs seemed to be spending a lot of time on the beach yesterday surrounded by new guys to flirt and drool over Hilary certainly wasn't going to be left out. She was seen prancing around the beach with a complete layer of make up and an obscene amount of jewelry for the surf and sand. Boy toy of the day happened to be MTV's own Frankie Delgado who Hilary has been playing around iwth a bit lately.
Bai Ling Vegas Wedding
Seems that Bai Ling is proud of her sudden marriage, bad news is she forgot to tell her reps! Ooooppps! Bai Ling claims she was married yesterday while she was in Sin City, but her new hubby is a hush hush for identity.
Party Crasher
Since Paris has moved to the beach right next door to Lindsay Lohan it's only normal for her to pop over and say hi during Lindsay's party. Seems the friends who live to be enemies have ended up right next door to each other on the sandy beach. Eeeks the horror! With Lindsay out for the holiday from Promises the rehab and Paris out from the pokey, Paris popped over to Lindsay's porch to make a short appearance before heading back to her own party.
Britney's New Man?
Seems that while Britney is cleaning house and moving mama and K-Fed out of her house she is busy getting ready to move another man in. Spotted yesterday going to the Four Seasons Hotel with a new mystery man it seems the crotch showing mama is trying to hook a new Mrs. Britney.
Baby Bro Gone?
Lindsay emerged from her party yesterday onto the paparazzi surrounded beach to search for her lil brother who disappeared. After finding him two houses down the way, she ripped into him and took him back towards her beach house. Perhaps someone forgot to tell Lindsay that lil siblings never usually listen, add a beach and the child is gone surfin.
Luckily Dakota was spotted very quickly and sisters Lindsay and Ali took him safely back home.

P's Mama Heads to Beverly Hills
As if the one again off again relationship is not bad enough, Kim Porter, model and mama to P.Diddy's three kids has packed up the kids and headed to Beverly Hills. With reports running rampant that Diddy was spotted with Sienna Miller last week. Seems that Porter has had enough and is going to get some distance. What happens at this point is still up in the air because sources claim that the two quarreling lovers "can't be together right now".
Orphaned Britney
Poor little psycho Britney has delivered a horrible sting to her mother. Along with the ugly legal papers that went, she has also been noted as saying she "didn't have a mom anymore". Yikes, you mean girls like her appear from under rocks? Please say it's not true! Surely Britney the crotch showing and party queen mom is not casting judgment on someone else as a mother.

Say It's Not So!!!!!!!!
OMG turn her lose from jail and the kids are following her around yet again. Our favorite jailbird to make fun of Paris Hilton has been nominated for two, count 'em two Teen Choice Awards. Umm yea she's not an idol to kids or anything. Parents around the world are cringing that a DUI criminal is nominated.
Her nominations include Best Female Reality/Variety Star for the TV show The Simple Life, this obviously means way too many children are allowed near the television. It is our sincere hopes that someone else wins and is able to shove the jailbird socialite to the bottom of the food chain.

Fergie Selling Ad Space in Songs?
The Black Eyed Peas bombshell Fergie is raking in a cool $4 million dollar contract in exchange for placing product placement in her songs. As you may already know she has been endorsing the clothing company Candie's and will be placing small advertisements for their clothing in her second solo CD. Fergie's label company has said that has had an executive speak up saying "With record sales in decline, you must find novel ways to make money out of the music. The trick is to make the brand part of the song so that it slips down rather easily rather than chokes the fan."
Interscope has promised that Candie's will have no say in how the song will be written, or what Fergie will say. With Stacy Ann Ferguson now doing adverts in her songs, are they going to improve or get worse?
