Evel Knievel dies at 69

In case you haven't read it elsewhere:

Robert Craig "Evel" Knievel, the world famous motorcycle stunt rider who lived in the Clearwater area, died today at 69.

Knievel's death was confirmed by his granddaughter, Krysten Knievel. He had been in failing health for years, suffering from diabetes and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that scarred his lungs.

Knievel had undergone a liver transplant in 1999 after nearly dying of hepatitis C, likely contracted through a blood transfusion after one of his bone-shattering spills.

Megan Gale, Armie Hammer to star in 'JLA'

The blogosphere is spinning out names for leads in the upcoming Justice League of America flick, with Ain’t It Cool News saying Aussie model Megan Gale (right) will be playing Wonder Woman. You’d remember her from ... well ... apparently her naked pictures on the Internet. And also a bit part as a secretary in Stealth. Okay then.

Also from the movie world, Armie Hammer (his actual, SAG-registered name) will play Batman. We last saw Hammer just last week as the drug-dealing pre-med student on Desperate Housewives. We guess being 6-foot-5 and having a weird name makes you qualified to play the Dark Knight. JLA’s box-office receipts will be measurable in nickels at this rate.

Charlie Crist's new girl has expensive tastes

And speaking of Page Six, our own governor Charlie Crist makes the sleaze sheet with the Post’s report that he’s dating Carole Rome, who is currently divorcing Bluestar Jets CEO Todd Rome.

“They met about four months ago and have been together ever since,” spies said. “Carole has been living on Fisher Island since she left Todd in July, and Charlie takes her to Miami Heat games.” St. Pete's own also rented out an “estate” in Southampton last August so his new girl could be closer to her kids, the paper says.

The Post warns Uncle Charlie, however, that friends said the reason Carole left Todd is because he “put a cap on her bank account” when he realized “he could no longer afford his wife’s spending habits.” And you think there’s going to be serious property tax reform?

Between Nehru jackets and parachute pants ...

From Learning2Share, we come across this collection of fashions from the '70s, straight from the pages of Ebony magazine, ca. 1970-76.

This king-collared shirt for a mere $16.95 gives you a little taste, but nothing can top the platform shoes and leisure shirts you'll find in the above link.

We know the '70s came back in a big way recently, but this should serve as a history lesson that lest we learn our past, we are doomed to repeat it.

BREAKING NEWS: Tila Tequila may not be bi

Apparently the New York Post’s Page Six just learned the term “MySpace bisexual,” because they’re all over the news that A Shot of Love with Tila Tequila is fake. Well doy.

“Tila has and has had a boyfriend for over a year, and she’s not really bi,” a source informs the paper. “She’s made out with some girls in her past, as all girls have, but she is not bi at all.” This is obviously a reputable source, because of course all girls have made out with each other.

But don’t think the trashfest is going to be renewed for another season, because Tila has a boyfriend (whom she refuses to leave) “who’s like five years older than her. This is a massive scam ... That’s why they are not continuing with the show, because she won’t dump him.”

Once again, we’re floored to learn that reality TV might not be real — almost as floored as we were to find out this show was even being made in the first place.

Suri Cruise has better shoes than you

Lest you forget Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have more money than half of Europe, OK! says faboo shoe designer Christian Louboutin has designed custom shoes for Suri Cruise. That’s right, the master of the red-soled slingback has made shoes for a girl who’s not even 2 yet, taking a mold of her feet and hand-crafting a pair. “She’ll be the youngest client,” a source told the mag. We should hope so ... what’s next? $750 booties for newborns?

GyllenSpoon might have joined Mile High Club

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal decided skip the in-flight movie to find different entertainment for themselves on a recent trip from Frankfurt, Germany, to L.A., Star says. A source who apparently knows everything said the couple boarded a Lufthansa flight separately, but didn’t take too long to cozy up together.

“Reese and Jake kissed and cuddled together under a blanket in her recliner seat in the back row,” the spy says. But then Witherspoon (who was just named the Hollywood Reporter's highest-earning actress at $15- to $20-million per pic) headed to the lavatory, with Jake not far behind. “I started timing them — they were together in there for 11 minutes,” the mag’s sleuth says, reporting Gyllenhaal returned first, followed by Reese a minute or two later.

“When they each walked by, it seemed like everyone in their entourage took pains to look away. Jake worked on his laptop, and then he and Reese took a nap side by side.” With the way airlines operate these days, The Juice* wouldn’t be surprised to find a surcharge for joining the Mile High Club added to their credit cards.

Jessica Simpson is single and so, so lonely

Here’s a little blue news to start your day: Jessica Simpson is lonely and wishes she hadn’t divorced Nick Lachey. “There are definitely parts of her that regret breaking up with Nick now,” a friend tells Us Weekly. Awww.

Apparently she spent what would have been her fifth anniversary “looking through old photo albums that she made when she was with Nick,” another source said. “... She said she was just being ‘girlie,’ but she was definitely somber.”

And while she dated John Mayer for a spell and is rumored to be dating Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, a third genius pal says “Jessica thought she would be with someone right by now.” Makes you pine for the days when buffalo wings were your biggest hangup, don’t it, Jess?

Akon faces silly charges for beating up child

Do you out there in Juice*land remember how Akon was performing in upstate New York and threw a kid in to the crowd? We’ll give you a minute, since it was waaay back in June. ...

Apparently the boy tossed a pretzel onto the stage during the show and Akon called him up, ridiculing him and starting a new Olympic sport — Angry-Teenager Humiliation — by hoisting him up and giving him the heave-ho (watch video above). Finally, justice is, uh, sorta being served.

The Poughkeepsie Journal says local cops are charging the rapper with endangering the welfare of a minor and second-degree harassment, both misdemeanors and both not the assault charges The Juice* thinks he probably should have gotten.

The move is the result of a second fan who complained she suffered a concussion when the human shot put hit her in the head. Akon is due in court in Fishkill, N.Y., on Monday, but judicial fairness has already left town.

Scientologists celebrate Christmas for charity

Never let it be said the Church of Scientology doesn’t do it’s part for charity this time of year. Its Celebrity Centre in Hollywood is presenting Christmas Stories XV Friday and Saturday to raise money for the Hollywood Police Activites League’s annual Christmas party for underprivileged kids and its other youth programs.

Actors and actresses like Kirstie Alley, Kelly Preston, Anne Archer, Michael Pena, Jenna Elfman, That 70s Show’s Danny Masterson, Traffic’s Erika Christensen, Malcolm in the Middle’s Christopher Masterson and 24’s Marisol Nichols all will be performing skits and telling Christmas stories. We'll lay off the jokes just this once -- the show can’t be all that bad if it’s in its 15th year and has raised about $205,000, can it?

Katie Holmes' new 'do: Hot or not?

Katie Holmes and munchkin Tom Cruise glam it up for the photogs at the Bambi media award ceremony in Duesseldorf, Germany, on Thursday. The Juice* is undecided about Katie's cut. One of our female staffers says she wants the look, but there's a lingering feeling she's on her way to Tokyo to audition for anime cartoons. What do you think? Comment boards exist for a reason, people.

Michael Jackson might rejoin the Jackson 5

In what has got to be the biggest reunion since that woman who played Tasha Yar on Star Trek: The Next Generation came back as a Romulan, Michael Jackson is rumored to be geariing up for a world tour with the Jackson 5 next year.

“We feel we have to do it one more time,” brother Jermaine told BBC 6Music. “We owe that to the fans and to the public.” The brothers — Tito, Jermaine, Michael, Jackie, Marlon, and Randy — last toured together as a six-piece in 1984 before Michael left between his Thriller and Bad albums.

But now Jermaine is promising MJ will be involved. “He has to be, he is a Jackson. He was at the meetings. Michael will be involved.” Because blowing all his money on shopping sprees and court cases necessitates it.

Helio Castroneves wins 'DWTS,' loses in love

Helio Castroneves may have won Dancing With the Stars, but his fiancee, Miami businesswoman Aliette Vazquez (pictured), has called off their engagement.

“There’s been a lot of rumors and a lot of stuff said, and she just wanted confirmed that they are no longer engaged. There’s no animosity, there’s nothing mean. Just a simple confirmation,” Vazquez’s publicist, Howard Bragman, told the AP.

Part of the problem may be rumors of Helio putting his suave Brazilian moves on his dancing partner, Julianne Hough. Hough, 19, called off her own engagement to dancer Zach Wilson earlier this year, but told Access Hollywood, “There was nothing with Apolo (Anton Ohno) last season and there’s nothing with Helio now.”

Bragman, however, didn’t deny this concern. “I’m not gonna talk about the rumors. I mean, they’re clearly out there,” he said. “I will tell you we wanted to be respectful and wait until the show was over. We did not want to affect the outcome of the show.” But affecting the outcome of Helio’s life is a different matter.

Will Lindsay Lohan make a date with 50 Cent?

Lindsay Lohan is reportedly hooking up with 50 Cent, Life & Style says — although in musical sense, since LiLo is recording her third album, Nobody’s Angel.

“They’re talking about working together. Nothing’s firm yet, but they’re in talks,” according to Lindsay’s papa Michael. “They’ve actually known each other for a while, just from being in the business together and crossing paths at events.”

Besides, Radar says Lohan is looking for recently single Heath Ledger, texting him furiously while her boyfriend Riley Giles was out on the town in NYC over Thanksgiving weekend. Fiddy, meanwhile, must be looking for that final nail in his career’s coffin before retirement.

Owen & Michelle, Elle & Bryan, Jen & Ross

• Owen Wilson has been recovering from his depression nicely, spending time with Bionic Woman Michelle Ryan, the Daily Star says. Dating a woman 15 years your junior will do that, we hear.

• Elle Macpherson, who still rocks the looks at 44, has been spotted smooching 48-year-old musician Bryan Adams, the Daily Mail reports. We wonder if it’s the kind of love that lasts forever.

• Jennifer Love Hewitt got engaged last week to her boyfriend, Scottish actor Ross McCall, the AP reports. Remind him not to borrow Jackie Chan’s tuxedo.

Tay Zonday won't go away, shills soda

Decide for yourself if this viral video for Diet Cherry Chocolate Dr Pepper is funny (the name sure is), because Chocolate Rain quit being amusing after about the 400th parody.

Kim Kardashian may have lied about theft

Remember that $50,000 worth of jewelry and gadgets that managed to find its way out of Kim Kardashian’s luggage at JFK airport? The cops are starting to think there was no theft at all.

The New York Post says the Nov. 8 “disappearance” of a Cartier watch, digital camera, some diamonds and a laptop (because we take that kind of stuff with us everywhere we go) may be a PR stunt. The paper says Port Authority police, the NYPD and the Queens DA all deny any report of a theft was made, which is shorthand for a false claim by a spoiled would-be starlet who runs to gossip mags to sob about things before telling the local constable.

Surprisingly, KiKa’s people didn’t comment. Maybe she’s contacting the A-Team.

Christina Aguilera already exploiting her baby

Christina Aguilera became pretty much irrelevant way back when Madonna kissed Britney first, despite what commercials for LG phones would have you think. We’ve been hoping she’d improve with her new glam look and bun in the oven with hubby Jordan Bratman. But her upcoming Marie Claire cover has confirmed it: Xtina officially has tried too hard to make people like her.

Carson Daly bringing show back with scabs

Carson Daly isn’t crossing the picket line exactly, but he is taking NBC’s Last Call with Carson Daly back into production this week, the AP reports. Daly isn’t a member of the Writer’s Guild, so bringing the half-hour show back to the 1:35 a.m. slot sin’t as bad as, say, Ellen DeGeneres’ revival of her show, but the union was not happy. “(We) hope that Mr. Daly will reconsider his decision, including the soliciting of scab writers to provide material for his program,” a statement from the guild read. We’re sure all 10 of his fans are happy, though.

Usher and Tameka Foster have a little Usher

With a new baby on hand, R&B singer Usher needed a fifth. Usher Raymond V was born in Atlanta to the performer and his wife, 37-year-old Tameka Foster, Monday night, the AP reports. “We are so happy and proud of our beautiful son. What a blessing!” 29-year-old Usher said in a statement. The baby weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces. He is the couple’s first child; Foster has three children from a previous marriage, none of whom are named Usher.

O.J. Simpson pleads not guilty in robbery

In case you forgot about O.J. Simpson, the former football great entered a not guilty plea Wednesday at an arraignment hearing at the Las Vegas Regional Justice Center, the AP reports. He appeared with co-defendants Charles Ehrlich and Clarence Stewart on 12 charges for allegedly robbing two sports memorabilia dealers at gunpoint, if you haven’t been reading your Juice*. Clark County District Court Judge Jackie Glass set a trial date for April 7, 2008, which will give us plenty of time to set up an office pool.

Zac meets Matt; Jake plays Joe; Out on Bond; and 'High School Musical 3' coming to theaters

• Matthew Perry will play the older version of Zac Efron in the upcoming flick 17, about a man who wakes up one morning to find he’s become young again, the Hollywood Reporter says. Although we never recall a young Perry eliciting the swooning sighs Zac gets.

• Jake Gyllenhaal will play former Jets quarterback Joe Namath in an biopic for Universal Pictures, Variety reports. Maybe it will end with a drunken Namath hitting on the Monday Night Football sideline reporter (see above).

• One-time James Bond Pierce Brosnan won’t face charges over accusations of hitting a paparazzo because of a lack of evidence, Reuters says. He must have used the laser beam in his watch to destroy the photos before speeding off in his rocket car.

• Speaking of Zac Efron, his latest venture, High School Musical 3, will not only net him more than $3-million, but will also land on big screens in theaters when it is released instead of heading to the Disney Channel, Entertainment Weekly says. No word on the plot, but we reckon it won’t involve Vanessa Hudgens misusing a digital camera.

Daft Punk's Harder Better Finger Stronger

Did you ever want to know the words to Daft Punk's Harder Better Faster Stronger (the original, not Kanye West's sampled version, Stronger)? Well, you're in luck with this handy guide.

Victoria Beckham's breasts may have shrunk

London’s Daily Mail is in tune with the latest in hard-hitting news, so while Melanie Brown was busy losing Dancing With the Stars, they went on an investigative spree looking into the size of Victoria Beckham’s breasts.

Posh’s appearance on the Fox show caused a stir when sharp eyes noticed that her assets seem to have shrunk, leading to rumors that she’s had her breast implants removed. Shocking! We’ll leave it to Juice*heads to decide, but we present this photographic evidence of Vicki in June (at left) and on the DWTS set Tuesday night. Frankly, we’re undecided.

“I would say she is not wearing the push-up bra she normally wears,” her publicist said, “but I have not seen the pictures and I have no idea.” We have an idea that she no longer looks like a toothpick with two beach balls stapled to it, so either way it’s a good thing.

Fabio says he'd take a ride with Clooney

There may not be a showdown of the century between George Clooney and Fabio Lanzoni — mostly because Fabio’s a joke and Clooney owns like half of Italy — but that doesn’t mean the would-be feud can’t stay in the public eye. Now Fabio says he may be willing to bury the hatchet over a shared love: motorcycles.

“I wish Mr. Clooney all the best,” the romance novel cover boy tells Radar. “If George wants to go for a ride sometime, I’d consider taking him up on the offer.” The Juice* suggests the biker boys gear up before the trek, though; We wouldn’t want Clooney busting another rib.

Britney Spears is a pervert, a slob and pregnant

The Juice* tries to maintain a level of credibility, since speculation and rumor is best left to rags like Star, who have lawyers that can defend them if they get sued. To that end, let’s point out that they’re saying Britney Spears' new mansion has a double-locked, X-rated “fantasy room” filled with tickers, whips, spanking paddles, a mirrored ceiling and handcuffs hanging from the bedframe. Yikes.

And let’s not forget the costumes. “She wears Catholic schoolgirl uniforms, a maid’s uniform and a Cinderella outfit,” a source tells Star. “Britney is sexually obsessed.” She’s also obsessed with Marilyn Monroe, it seems, and is pining for a nose job to look more like her idol.

Not outlandish enough? Try the feces-smeared couches in her living room, which Star says are covered in leavings from her dog and two children. Gross. Apparently that court monitor is going to declare her home a “health hazard.”

We’ll see about that one, just like we’ll see if a supposed message left by Brit on her MySpace page saying she’s preggers again — by wannabe actor Michael Marchand — is true. (Or maybe it's music producer J.R. Rotem's kid, like In Touch says.) “Yes, I am pregnant and I am shocked — almost four weeks to be exact,” the post says. “I don’t really know if I’m happy or sad I’m just ... idk I am happy I guess. I saw the ultrasound and it was really kewl!” We know return you to your Pepto Bismol.

More stuff we're ignoring to save our sanity

• Emeril Live with Emeril Lagasse is being taken off Food Network because of an unresolved contract dispute, the AP reports. Now the channel will be forced to fill airtime with reruns called Emeril Reheated.

• Amy Winehouse has canceled her British tour, saying she can’t perform while her husband Blake Fielder-Civil is in jail, Reuters says. Or while she’s high.

• Foxy Brown has been released from solitary confinement after 40 days of a 76-day “punitive segregation” at Rikers Island, Billboard says. Keeping Foxy alone with herself must have been construed as cruel and unusual punishment.

Why on earth would you miss 'Teeth'?

And why didn't anyone think of this movie before? Oh right ... Yes folks, it's a real movie, coming to real theaters. Sorry.

Thanks, Door From Hell.

Rihanna is a style star, says Seventeen

The results are in for Seventeen’s inaugural Style Star awards, and Rihanna takes the top spot among trendsetters this year. Gina Kelly, the magazine’s fashion director, helped pick the winners for the December/January issue, and told the AP that the Umbrella singer got the honor because she embraced ’80s looks and helped restart a trend those of us old enough to remember that decade would like to leave buried.

“I love her because she’s not like anyone else out there,” Kelly says. “It starts with her haircut. When she started out, it was long and pretty, but when she got the asymmetrical bob, she just started to break out — and then she got a cool new wardrobe to match her cool new hair.” Other fashionistas making the cut include Vanessa Hudgens, Jessica Alba, Jordin Sparks, Fergie, Lauren Conrad, Ashley Simpson and Lil Mama. What, no Gwen Stefani? She must be too old these days.

Here's a few things we're not writing about

• Kim Kardashian claims that $50,000 worth of jewelry, a camera and a laptop were stolen from JFK airport in NYC, TMZ says (is that enough acronyms for you?). Yeah, we know, she’s probably afraid pics and videos of her naked will get out.

• Zac Hanson — the youngest one — is expecting his first child with wife Kate in May, People says. And oh yeah, the band is going on tour.

• Kid Rock says his next release will be his “last record” with long hair, People reports. Gas station attendants everywhere ponder a new look.

Britney Spears is supposed to be filming today

If the plummeting sales for Blackout and the general disinterest in the video for Gimme More wasn’t enough, glutton for punishment Britney Spears was scheduled to shoot a new video Tuesday for her single Piece of Me (there's a promo clip above).

Because of a scheduled visit with her boys Sean and Jayden, Brit Brit was only going to be available between the hours of noon and 2 p.m. to work on the video, which is being directed by I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman helmer Wayne Isham, Us says.

But that’s okay, because a body double and 15 extras had been hired to try to sparkle up what’s sure to be another lackluster four minutes of Spears wandering around looking confused.

Jessica Simpson talks turkey with Tony Romo

And while we’re sweeping up after celebrities’ Thanksgiving weekends, In Touch adds fuel to the fire that is a possible duet between Jessica Simpson and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. The rag says Romo and Jess showd up at her grandparents’ Waco, Texas, home last Friday after the Cowboys beat up on the Jets, getting a “hero’s welcome” from papa Joe and mom Tina.

Tony still says they aren’t dating, but The Juice* never brought home dates for Thanksgiving without it being serious. Take that, Nick Lachey ! (Actually, he’s on a beach somewhere with Vanessa Minnillo, not caring a whit what Simpson does.)

Marvel at an Indian version of 'Informer'

If you haven't been following BWE's posts on karaoke songs, that's worth a look, but their selection of this ... song ... is almost too good to be true. Somehow the video for Chori Chori (featuring Indian songbird Aneela and Iranian pop star Arash) -- complete with rip-offs from Snow, The Matrix, Smooth Criminal, Red Heat and a host of other pop culture bits -- is waaaaaay fun to watch.

Lindsay Lohan's boyfriend goes out partying

While The Juice* has been hawking “Save LiLo” buttons in our online store (see right), we’re honestly happy to hear that 21-year-old Lindsay Lohan really seems to have taken her last round of rehab to heart, as noted by her virtual absence from our daily sleaze report.

But while Linds spent the Thanksgiving holiday in group therapy and out shopping with her whole family, the New York Post’s Page Six says her latest crush (and fellow rehabber) Riley Giles was MIA most nights. Giles had come out to Long Island to “meet her friends and family,” a source said, but apparently spent his nights out in the club scene, which can’t be good for his addictions, let alone Lohan’s.

“Riley was not very well behaved when he came back to New York with Lindsay,” a friend told the tabloid. “He was out every night without her, and I’m not sure how much longer that relationship is going to last.” If his idea of rehab is going out partying, maybe it’s best for LiLo if the relationship doesn’t last.

Details loves Kevin Federline for some reason

Truly, friends and neighbors, it’s time to head for the bomb shelters, because Details has named Kevin Federline one of its "50 Most Influential Men Under 45." Read that first sentence again so we’re all on the same page.

The 29-year-old ex-husband of Britney Spears is No. 7 on the list, sharing the title of “Good Father” with Anna Nicole Smith-boinker Larry Birkhead. Did IQs drop suddenly over the holiday weekend? Says the proud papa of four: “To be a father is … everything. It shows me how little I am.”

And while Fed-Ex is finding work from time to time, he tells the mag he’d like to stretch his chops a bit. “I’d actually like to play somebody other than a bad guy or an ass,” he says. Well, life imitates art, you know.

Hey doll, that was awful

Was that really the finals last night on Dancing with the Stars? Some 20-million people watch this show, and what a huge disappointment. Where to start ....

What was Marie Osmond thinking with that embarrassing rag-doll dance? "It's like 'Baby Jane' and the 'Bride of Chucky,'" said judge Bruno Tonioli. "It's unique." And that was about the kindest thing anybody could say.

Even frontrunner Melanie Brown, with steamy partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy, was booor-ing in the freestyle. C'mon, it's supposed to be your chance to wow us. Lame.

At least the flat-footed Helio Castroneves, with flashy pro Julianne Hough, had some fun with the freestyle. Almost saved the whole night. Too bad his first dance was more like a joke than a jive.

So if you're keeping score, Mel B had the most points with 55 out of 60, Castroneves had 54 and Osmond limped in with 46. As if any of that really matters.

You'd like to think that with such a low score, Osmond has got to be out of the running. But she apparently has enormous fan support or she wouldn't have been in the finals in the first place. Everybody knows the show is more of a popularity contest than a dance-off, but this is ridiculous.

So who do you think will win the glorious mirrorball trophy tonight on ABC? Or do we even care anymore?

Up next: remakes of every single Jet Li movie

"The Eye" Exclusive Trailer

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Be sure and tell all your friends you were there the day The Juice* created "Trailer trash," a new category that shows some of the most exciting (or preposterous) movie trailers out there.

Our first victim? The Eye, in which Jessica Alba plays the recipient of an eyeball transplant and begins to see all sorts of ghoulies. Our problem? It's proof that the worst trend in Hollywood, besides masochistic torture porn, is remaking Asian horror films and casting hot Tinseltown girls to play the lead (see The Grudge, The Ring, Dark Water, etc.).

If you want to be scared, watch the originals; nothing is more unsetling for Americans than listening to foreign tongues we don't learn talk about things we don't understand.

Prosecutors: T.I. in three other gun incidents

Things don’t look good for T.I., who is still awaiting trial for gun charges while on house arrest. But in a document filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta Monday, prosecutors plan to show three other incidents in which the rapper illegally had firearms “after having been convicted of a felony offense,” the AP says.

The first was Dec. 22, 2001, in Atlanta. T.I., a.k.a. Clifford Harris, allegedly gave the name Douglas Morgan and was carrying a concealed 9 mm pistol. The arrest didn’t result in a criminal conviction. He was arrested Nov. 1, 2002, in Henry County and later convicted of carrying a 10 mm pistol, the document said. The third arrest was the result of a search warrant executed at his home in Fulton County on Dec. 18, 2004. Officers said they found a firearm with an attached silencer, large amounts of ammunition and photos of Harris holding weapons.

The incident didn’t result in a criminal conviction, the AP says, but after all this, it’s a fairly safe bet T.I. will be going away after being arrested Oct. 13 for allegedly trying to buy unregistered machine guns.

Great, now we're craving sugar and violence

The only point for putting this old Snickers commercial on The Juice* today is because someone just posted it on College Humor. But for the life of us, we don't remember this ad. Does anyone out there in Juice*land recall this animated rumble between the Sharks and the Jets as narrated by Fred Durst and Snoop Dogg?

Quiet Riot's Kevin DuBrow found dead in Vegas

Put down your cans of Aqua Net and shed a tear, children of the ’80s, because Quiet Riot lead singer Kevin DuBrow is gone. The voice behind Cum on Feel the Noize was found dead from unknown causes at his Las Vegas home Sunday evening, a spokeswoman for the Clark County Coroner’s Office told wire services.

“I can’t even find the words to say,” Quiet Riot bandmate Frankie Banali wrote on his Web site. “Please respect my privacy as I mourn the passing and honor the memory of my dearest friend, Kevin DuBrow.” So pull out that copy of Metal Health and girls, rock your boys in memory of Kevin (who was 52, if you can believe that).

Jerry Seinfeld ends his weekend trip to Israel

Jerry Seinfeld’s trip to Israel to promote Bee Movie ended Sunday, and the comedian sure made the most of it. Besides touring the official Israeli Holocaust memorial, Yad Vashem, Seinfeld got to meet Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert and president Shimon Peres, a rarity for entertainers, the AP reports.

It’s a far cry from the treatment Jerry got on his last trek through the country in 1971, when he was a 15-year-old kibbutz volunteer. “I would be in the fields, and nobody wanted my autograph and nobody wanted to take their picture with me,” he told reporters in Tel Aviv. “They just let me hack away at those banana leaves, and no, I didn’t meet the prime minister even once.” He was probably too busy writing that Ehud pilot.

Linda Hogan wants half; Joe Francis, revenge

While Linda Hogan was planning to take half of Hulk Hogan’s stuff — including a Clearwater house and their 17,000-square-foot Belleair mansion (plus child support and alimony) — Girls Gone Wild peddler Joe Francis was accusing guards at the Grady County (Okla.) Law Enforcement Center of denying him food and blankets and threatening to strap him naked to a chair for 48 hours, the AP said.

Francis was held there from may 17 to June 4 while being moved from a jail in Bay County to Reno, Nev., where he is now awaiting trial for tax evasion charges. Officials denied the charges, with jail administrator Shane Wyatt saying “Mr. Francis was treated like every inmate that comes through the Grady County Law Enforcement Center.” And if Joe wanted fair treatment, he should have been plied with tequila shots and then coerced into exposing himself on tape over and over.

It's Music Monday!: Morcheeba and Slick Rick

Now that Thanksgiving is over, we go back a few years to Morcheeba's album Charango, in which Slick Rick did a guest spot called Women Lose Weight, about a man planning to dispose of his portly wife. Enjoy.

Tyra Banks' wigs are destroying her sex life

Talk show and America's Next Top Model host Tyra Banks is in the middle of a hairy problem. According to lifestyle blog FemaleFirst, the 33-year-old has used so many wigs and hair extensions, her natural hair has pretty much given up the ghost. That means Tyra is afraid to spend the night with men for fear they'll run screaming for the door once they see her without her TV hair.

"Tyra is a confident woman for the most part, but she is really insecure about her hair," a source tells the blog. "She doesn't want any guy to see her without her wigs of hair extensions.

"Tyra feels like guys are with her for her image that they see on TV and in magazines. If one wakes up without her glamorous hair, she's worried he may not call back!"

This quote has exclamation points, so it must be true. Besides, everyone knows the way for a woman to gain a man's respect is for her to throw herself at him with little regard as to how much he thinks of her as a person.

More proof Britney Spears can't drive

Online Videos by Veoh.com

While we're still shaking off the culinary cobwebs induced by an overabundant Thanksgiving feast, we have to turn back to Britney Spears and her shockingly apparent inability to drive a car (or do much of anything else on her own, for that matter).

Us magazine provides video of Brit running three separate stop signs while paps kept a fairly respectful distance, recording the whole thing. Mind you, this is not like when photogs chased Princess Diana through Paris -- these guys were just following her around like they always do. What makes it even better is that her producer, Sam Lutfi, was in the car. You'd think he'd do a better job protecting his investment.

And wasn't it just a couple weeks ago a judge told her she couldn't drive her own kids around because she was a marginal motorist at best and a raging psych ward on wheels at worst? Good to know the justice system isn't right about everything!

Linda Hogan, Mary Delgado hate their men

Goodness gracious, The Juice* goes away for a couple days of carb overload and look what happens. First, Linda Hogan tells the Hulkster it's all over (or does she?), filing for a divorce last week in Pinellas County. From the St. Pete Times:

Pinellas County court records show that Linda Marie Bollea, 48, filed a petition for dissolution of marriage from Terry Gene Bollea, 54, on Tuesday. She is represented by Largo attorney Elliot Jay Goldstein.

In an e-mail, Goldstein said: "As this is a very personal matter for the Bolleas and their children, Mrs. Bollea has understandably requested that no further comment be given."

...

Reached by phone on Friday night, Terry Bollea said he had no idea his wife had filed for divorce. When informed during the call that the paperwork was submitted on Tuesday, Bollea said politely, "Thank you for the great information," and hung up.

He called back about five minutes later.

"I'm kind of shocked," he said. "You caught me off-guard. My wife has been in California for about three weeks. ... Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me. ... I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here."

Asked whether he and his wife had discussed divorce, he said, "That's my private business."

Phone calls to Linda Bollea's cell phone went unanswered on Friday night.

And who says newspapers don't inform? We're just doing our jobs, folks.

Next, we find out that Mary Delgado, the former Bucs cheerleader who in 2004 was picked by The Bachelor Byron Velvick, punched the pro fisherman dead in the face during an argument and split his lip, according to Pinellas County sheriff's deputies. Also from TampaBay.com:

On Wednesday, just after midnight, Delgado was taken into custody on a battery charge and was under the influence of alcohol when she was arrested, according to an arrest report. The report does not name her fiance but says the pair have lived together "as a family" for the last three years.

The couple appeared together the day before in a special episode of The Bachelor called "After the Final Rose." During the show, Delgado told the audience she had taken up her fiance's sport of fishing, that the pair was doing a lot of traveling and they planned to get married in November.

Sources that watch that awful show (because The Juice* can only handle America's Next Top Model and A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila) say that just the night before, Byron and Mary were on The Bachelor discussing their wedding plans. Oh, those lovebirds!

And in case you were wondering, yes we're posting this on a Saturday evening, but we ate too much turkey and the family just left town, so this is all we have the energy to do.

Salma Hayek prayed for bigger breasts

Continuing with our Thanksgiving theme, we remind you that Salma Hayek sang the lord's praises to David Letterman a while back by saying her breasts were a gift from God. The Mexican mom said she was so flat-chested as a youth that she actually prayed for development.

“My mother and I stopped at a church during a road trip we were making from our home in Mexico,” she said. “When we went inside the church, I prayed for the miracle that I wanted to happen. I put my hands in holy water and said, ‘Please God, give me some breasts!’ ” Apparently the big guy listens, after all. Why this is news now is anyone’s guess, but we think it has something to do with this picture.

Here's the actual interview, from way back:

Rap moguls were fighting over someone else

Model and actress Julie Ordon (pictured) was as surprised as anyone to hear Sean Combs and her alleged boyfriend, hip-hop marketer Steven Acevedo, were fighting over her at NYC club Upstairs awhile back. That’s because the New York Post’s Page Six says they weren’t fighting over her, but rather over Jessica Gomez, whom Juice* fans may remember as the girl from those too-hot-for-prime-time commercials for Diddy’s new fragrance. Gomez was seen “making out with Steve at Upstairs two weeks ago,” the rag’s source says. “Julie has no idea Steve is with Jessica.” Maybe they’ll fight again in the parking lot after fourth period math.

Thanksgiving at The Juice*'s house ...

Actually, it's just the Peanuts version. But in case you can't watch it on TV tonight, here's Charlie Brown and the gang cooking an anti-Atkins meal to remember.

Dennis Quaid's twins should be OK after OD

Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly, are no doubt on pins and needles after their newborn twins were given an accidently overdose of blood thinner at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

TMZ reported earlier this week that Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace were given doses of the anti-coagulant heparin equivalent to 1,000 times stronger than what was prescribed. Cedars-Sinai’s chief medical officer, Michael L. Langberg, said Sunday three patients each received the incorrect vials, although it appears no one involved suffered “adverse effects” from the mistake.

As for the Quaids: “Dennis and Kimberly appreciate everyone’s thoughts and prayers and hope they can maintain their privacy during this difficult time,” publicist Cara Tripicchio said. And give them time to consult their lawyers.

Tampa dad gave away Hannah Montana tix

It’s Thanksgiving time, so The Juice* is happy to report some goodwill came out of Monday’s Hannah Montana concert despite cries from angry parents over ticket brokers and sky-high scalping prices.

As first reported by WTSP News’ Preston Rudie, Finn Walling of Tampa had been planning to take his 9-year-old daughter Madison to see Miley Cyrus’ alter ego. Unfortunately, Madison caught the flu and couldn’t go, prompting Walling to decide he would just leave the tickets at the will call booth at the St. Pete Times Forum.

“My daughter asked what was going to happen to the tickets and I told her,” Walling explained to The Juice*, “and she said ‘You can’t just leave them there! There are too many people who want to go.’ ” So following Madison’s wishes, Finn planned to sell them, but when he got to the Forum he was shocked to see tickets going
