Kim Kardashian says Nick Jonas is a hottie

Nick Jonas, run for your life: Kim Kardashian thinks you've got the goods. The reality show princess told People that she thought "Nick is so cute" backstage at KIIS-FM's Wango Tango concert Saturday while the brothers played onstage. But don't call boyfriend Reggie Bush just yet.

"I don't think Reggie will get mad because (Nick) is, like, 15," the 27-year-old said. "I really shouldn't say that he's cute. It's a little inappropriate! They're adorable." Yeah, you wouldn't want to start rumors that you'd do something inappropriate with a member of the opposite sex or anything -- especially when they're prone to wearing abstinence rings.

John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston in Miami again

After a couple weeks of "was it them or not?" going on, John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston were spotted together in Miami again. We could basically rewrite what we said two weeks ago and say they hung out at the Mandarin Oriental, where Aniston is filming Marley and Me with Owen Wilson, but that's boring.

Thankfully Star can tell us exciting details likehow the had some drinks, ate some pineapple and smeared suntan lotion on each other. Wow. Next thing you know, they'll be saying the couple were wearing bathing suits (wait for it) ...

"Jen was in a pink bathing suit looking amazing," a source tells the mag. "John did the majority of the talking to Jen, who was listening to his every word intently and leaned in close while whispering in each other's ears."

Oooo, what did he say? Perhaps he was talking about the creepy photog who was taking their photo over and over so he could sell it to Star (but make it so expensive The Juice* can't afford it).

Criminal acts: Foxy, Dourdan and 'The Hills'

• Foxy Brown pleaded guilt to a charge of menacing for throwing her Blackberry at a Brooklyn neighbor, TMZ reports. Now all she has to do is clear up her charges of throwing wig glue at a guy here in Florida and she’s all set!

• CSI’s Gary Dourdan has been charged with felony possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy stemming from his arrest last month, the AP says. He must have thought Amy Winehouse was going to be in town.

• And in case you missed it, The Hills has been renewed for a fourth season, MTV says. What is wrong with you people? Don’t you know you should be watching American Gladiators?

Scarlett Johansson engaged to Ryan Reynolds!

In what is truly a devastating day for mankind — though we’re guessing womankind probably couldn’t care less — Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds have announced they’re engaged. “They’re both thrilled,” ScarJo’s rep tells People. The couple has dated for a year and Reynolds recently popped the question. The Canadian actor was famously engaged to Alanis Morrissette, and is probably hoping this engagement goes a little better. The real question is, how will America’s young males react to the news? First Jessica Alba gets pregnant, now ScarJo is off the market? Where have you gone, Jessica Biel? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you...

Are you ready for TomCruise.com?

Oh. Em. Gee. Apologies for all the e-mails and IMs we're no doubt missing today while we try to absorb the funhouse that is TomCruise.com, the official Web site of America’s Clearest Actor. Thank you, Pop Candy's Whitney Matheson, for alerting us to the presence of this oracle of Cruisedom, which launched Monday to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Risky Business. “I created this site as a thank you, to you, for sharing the journey with me and to invite you to continue to explore what the future will bring,” Cruise writes in an intro. “My hope with this site is to bring you in and share with you the fun I experience every day during the filmmaking process, from working on the script, to the making of the film through to what we finally see when we settle into our seats and the lights go down. This is for you.” It is not, apparently for Katie Holmes or the Church of Scientology, neither of which gets a shout-out in the actor's self-penned biography page. But even though the site is still pretty bare-bones, it does contain clips and photos from many of Cruise’s movies, and if the site’s intended purpose is to remind us that Cruise has made a hell of a lot of awesome movies over the years, well, it succeeds. The man can sure pick a blockbuster. Beyond that, we think there was a secret purpose to this site, and it was to make us snicker with joy at the sight of this still photo from his 1985 flop Legend:

You get 'em, tiger! We highly recommend you spend the rest of your day over there.

'HSM3' gets rolling, Miley Cyrus speaks out

 

Various and sundry Wildcats arrived late last week in Salt Lake City for the start of filming on High School Musical 3: High School Musical with a Vengeance (or whatever it will be called). Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and all the rest were on hand, but not everyone was feeling the East High spirit. E! News says the newly beschnozzed Ashley Tisdale “never cracked a smile and did not socialize with anyone, except Vanessa Hudgens,” and had a police escort by her side at all times. Still, the cast put on their best smileys and somehow managed to remain fully clothed. “We’ve done the first and second one here, and it brings back so many memories,” Hudgens told the Salt Lake Tribune. “Just being here feels like home — being back here with everyone, it’s amazing.” The plot of HSM3 will revolve around Troy and Gabriella’s relationship as they prepare to head off to different colleges. In the interest of realisim, The Juice* hopes to see a touching scene in which the two clique-crossed lovers clumsily culminate their relationship in the backseat of a Ford Focus at a post-prom field party.

Elsewhere in the wonderful world of Disney, Miley Cyrus finally spoke out on the sorta-scandalous photos that have been the talk of every pervert on the Interwebs this past week. According to People, at a concert Saturday night in Orlando for the Disney Channel Games — which is apparently a thing — Cyrus thanked the crowd for standing by her during this tumultuous time: “I saw a sign back there that said, 'Miley, I’m praying for you.’ I could not be more appreciative. Thank you guys for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you.”

Carrie Fisher finally settles Luke vs. Han debate

For years geeks the world over wondered if Carrie Fisher ever had a thing for her Star Wars co-stars, and finally, thanks to the U.K. TV show Bring Back ... Star Wars, she confirms that she was taking the name Princess Leia a bit too seriously.

"I went on the film saying ‘I’m going to have an affair’, like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit — because I’d never had one!” she tells the show's Justin Lee Collins. And Harrison Ford was her target.

“I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he’s had a few drinks,” she says. Shenanigans ensued. “I’m going to get in so much trouble; Once I left the room and came back and he was in the closet not wearing a lot of clothes.”

Actually, the idea of Han Solo naked is kind of weird, so she switches gears and talks about what Mark Hamill thought about all this, saying there was "some jealousy."

“Harrison had this enormous career by the second or third film, that was tough for Mark." Fisher says. "He was like, ‘This wasn’t supposed to happen — it’s the adventures of Luke Skywalker.’ ”

It sure sounds like Fisher and Ford were the ones having the adventures.

Britney's streak, Uma's freak, McCready peek

• Britney Spears is officially going to be be back on How I Met Your Mother, reprising her role as an airhead who has the hots for a dorky loser, E! Online says. What is this, a biography?

• The trial for Jack Jordan, the man accused of stalking Uma Thurman, began Monday with defense attorneys saying he was “creepy,” but not a criminal, Reuters reports. As proof they used Quentin Tarantino’s obsession with Uma’s feet in his movies.

• Looking for deets on that alleged underage affair Mindy McCready had with Roger Clemens? Our print pals in SportsTalk are covering that, so go here for more. You think we’d write about that kind of trash?

Jimmy Fallon will replace Conan O'Brien in '09

In a move that will guarantee The Juice* will sleep better at night, the Hollywood Reporter says Jimmy Fallon has signed on to replace Conan O'Brien in 2009. And by sleep better, we mean that's because we won't be watching TV after 12:30 a.m. anymore.

NBC is expected to announce the move May 12, but sources say Fallon and Late Night executive producer Lorne Michaels will start assembling a team to take over once Conan moves to The Tonight Show to fill Jay Leno's shoes.

Sure, Fallon stepped in for David Letterman back in 2003, but if his Weekend Update stint on SNL proved anything, it's that he has a hard time keeping a holding an audience. Maybe he can just sing those goofy, Weird Al Yankovic-style songs every night.

Miley's things, Carmen's ring, Megan's ka-ching

• Those photos of Miley Cyrus that leaked online are her business, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody actress Brenda Song tells People. “Whatever she does in her personal life is her personal life,” she says. But you’re 20; Why are you hanging out with such a youngin’?

• Also in People, Carmen Electra has gotten engaged to guitarist boyfriend Rob Patterson, with the former Korn touring buddy popping the question during her 36th birthday over the weekend. Hey, he’s a big improvement over Dave Navarro and Dennis Rodman.

• FHM named Megan Fox as the Sexiest Woman in the World in their annual list of the top 100 babes, with Jessica Biel second and mom-to-be Jessica Alba third. But the big story (besides Britney Spears staying on the list at No. 100) is that we can now run a photo of the 21-year-old Transformers star (above).

Kardashians sell; Kidman's swell; O.J., go to hell

• Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian joined smut peddler Joe Francis at Area nightclub in L.A. to launch the new Girls Gone Wild magazine, paparazzi sites point out. They must be trying to secure employment should their reality show go belly up.

• Nicole Kidman has been named a goodwill ambassador for the U.N. Development Fund for Women, which aims to raise awareness about global violence against women, the AP reports. Is she trying to tell us about her escape from the Cruise compound?

• O.J. Simpson has offered to appear on another season of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice, but the tycoon and NBC are rather wary, the New York Post’s Page Six says. Something about the wardrobe not fitting correctly, we’re guessing.

Jessica Gibson's sister worked for Rob Lowe

While Rob Lowe and nanny Jessica Gibson (pictured) are busy suing each other, People has done some sleuthing just in time to dig up more dirt for Gibson's photo shoot for the mag. It seems her half-sister Jamie had also worked for Lowe, according to their father, Jim Gibson. Not only that, but it seems Jamie was the one who introduced Jess to Rob, since Jamie was previously Lowe's nanny.

"I'm sure (Jamie) thinks if only she could go back and change things she would. But, she can't –- there's no point regretting the past," Jim says. "No one in the family wants her to think that way. What's done is done."

Jim also says Jamie (who has a different mother) left to get married, but wanted to quit anyway.

"She was happy to get out of there. She couldn't take it anymore. Nothing really bad happened like it did with Jessie, but Jamie was overworked and couldn't stand it," he says.

Katie Holmes wrestling Suri from Tom Cruise

Ever-popular rag Star is filling us in on the latest with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, since it's been days -- DAYS! -- since we've mentioned them, and the drama is building. The glossy says Katie may be using a shot at a Broadway revival of All My Sons to make her escape from the Cruise compound!

"She desperately needs to be on her own for a while, but there's no way Tom is going to let her take Suri away," an insider tells the mag. "There's no way he'll allow it. He just doesn't want Katie — or Suri — out of his sight for long. He told her that if she goes to New York, fine, but he goes with her."

Holmes has apparently been hoping that a move to Manhattan could be more of a trial separation, which we take to mean in a "wear and wig a dark glasses before hopping a Greyhound" sort of separation. Tom is sure sounding a lot like Sleeping With the Enemy, if we believe Star.

"Tom wants to call all the shots when it comes to Suri," another source says. "He has a lot of rules, and there's conflict." Maybe they're just fighting about how to celebrate Suri's second birthday on Friday.

Ashlee Simpson pregnant with Pete Wentz's kid

Why the big rush to get married for Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz? If you believe Us, it's because the 23-year-old is pregnant with their child.

The magazine says a source confirms to them that the duo are having an old-time shotgun wedding, which must be at the insistence of creepy papa Joe Simpson. The engagement was confirmed by the couple just last week, but Wentz called the pregnancy rumor a "witch hunt" in a statement to MTV News on Monday.

All we can do is thank the powers that be her sister Jessica hasn't yet reproduced.

Calum gets what's Best for him: A black eye

Lindsay Lohan's old flame Calum Best has been seen out an about sporting a nice shiner on his right eye. Wherever did he get such an accessory? If you believe the U.K.'s Sun, it was from a reckoning at a bar in Puerto Banus, Spain.

The paper's readers have tipped off the tabloid, saying Best was seen schmoozing with a woman at Linekers Bar while her husband was off in the restroom. Upon spying Best's intentions (ha!), the man devised a devious plan angry spouses should note.

He apparently walked up to Best, asked the model to pose for a photo, then cracked him a good one when he asked Calum to smile. That's a picture worth a thousand words.

Giada De Laurentiis' c-section: Good or bad?

Once again, our resident mommy member adds her two cents: Giada De Laurentiis' va-jay-jay is up for debate over at Celebrity-Babies.com. While some of the mums are miffed at the picture of the perfectly made up new mother, which no real woman looks like in the delivery room (see it here, courtesy of People), the maternal rage is directed at how daughter Jade Marie was delivered via c-section on March 29.

There's lots of c-sections in Hollywood, with the rumor being celebrity moms will only have a kid if they go out through the window instead of the door to prevent any tearing ... you know ... down there.

Christina Aguilera told Hello the reason she asked for a caesarean section: "I didn't want any surprises. Honestly, I didn't want any (vaginal) tearing. I had heard horror stories of women going in and having to have an emergency c-section (anyway). The hardest part was deciding on his birthday. I wanted to leave it up to fate, but at the same time I was ready to be done early!"

Victoria Beckham was dubbed "too Posh to push" by the British tabs when she had her 1999 C-section for her son Brooklyn and is said to have kicked off the trend. She said the kind cuts for her two other children were medically necessary, but she's widely regarded as having had them done to preserve her famously skinny figure. Others on the c-section greatest hits: Angelina Jolie, Anna Nicole Smith and Britney Spears.

So tell us, Juice*heads, since you had such spirited opinions on Jennifer Lopez's thoughts on breastfeeding, what do you think of all this vagina vanity?

Audrina Patridge hates roomie Lauren Conrad

We get the feeling there are at least a dozen or so people out there convinced The Hills is actually real. So to counter that, we offer (thin) evidence that Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge aren't really the big pals they purport to be on the show.

The New York Post's Page Six quotes a source who says that Patridge "doesn't trust Lauren" and locks the door to her bedroom in the L.A. apartment they share when she's out. Not only that, but she "gets really annoyed at Lauren's cats because they pee on her rug and on her bed." Sakes!

Ever one to try to stoke good PR, Audrina's rep said only, "This is ridiculous. Audrina loves living with Lauren." But we're gonna assume that's because the arrangement is the ticket to staying on the show.

Mary-Louise Parker breaks off engagement, nothing really happens to Scarlett Johansson

Suburbanite drug dealer Mary-Louise Parker has given das boot to fiance Jeffrey Dean Morgan, the AP reports. A friend of the couple says the 43-year-old Weeds star and the 41-year-old actor (who plays her dead husband on the show) had differing lifestyles, but she wants to remain friends. Maybe he can hug it out with Parker ex-husband Billy Crudup (who left her when she was seven months pregnant) on the set of Watchmen.

Meanwhile, The Scoop is yammering about Australian reports that Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are teetering on the edge of Breakup Bluff. It apparently has something to do with hitting a "rough patch" because ScarJo "has no desire for a husband or family just yet." Also, reports she's moved into his L.A. home aren't true, either, which is supposed to be good news for anyone holding out hope that Scarlett will hit on them at the local Checkers walk-up window, we guess.

[Photos: Mary-Louise sure looks thrilled to be seen with Jeff's mom Sandy in December. As for ScarJo -- we just like her. Getty Images]

Disney already writing 'High School Musical 4'

When it comes to the High School Musical franchise, Disney is doing what it does best: exploiting the intellectual property to the fullest extent. While production to part three, Senior Year, is just now getting started, the Disney Channel is already working on a fourth installment, the Hollywood Reporter says.

"We are writing High School Musical 4," Disney Channel Worldwide chief Rich Ross said. "Are we going to have all of the cast back? Probably not. Will we have some of them? I hope so."

The Juice* thinks this smells like the gimmick on Saved By The Bell: The New Class when Dustin Diamond came back and served as a vice-crony to Mr. Belding. Will we be treated to the return of Zac Efron when Troy's basketball scholarship doesn't work out? Nah, we'll be stuck with Corbin Bleu.

Madonna's hometown: Let us honor you!

Madonna may have a chart-topping single, a $120 million deal with Live Nation and a permanent place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but there’s one thing she doesn’t have: A key to the city of Bay City, Mich. Community leaders hope to change that, however, formally inviting their favorite native daughter back home to accept “the highest honor that Bay City can offer,” Mayor Charles M. Brunner wrote in the invitation, according to the Bay City Times. “We have always been proud of your accomplishments.” Really? Back in the '80s, the city shunned the Material Materialist because they didn’t think she had what it took to be a huge star. Funny what a couple of decades being the biggest female musician on the planet will do for your rep. In a line so straight-laced it made us laugh out loud, E! Online reported: “There was no immediate comment from Madonna’s publicist.” No, really?

Your daily troubled starlet update

• Troubled starlet Mischa Barton will plead no contest in her DUI case Thursday, People reports, landing three years of probation, a three-month alcohol education class and a fine of $1,700 — but no jail time. A related marijuana charge will also be dropped.

• Troubled starlet Naomi Campbell has been banned from British Airways after being booted off a flight after a scuffle with a cop, British tabloids said Tuesday. The airline hasn’t confirmed it, and Campbell’s spokeswoman told Reuters, “Naomi has been flying with British Airways for nearly 30 years and has been a good customer. She hopes this can be resolved amicably.”

• Troubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was sued Monday by her former bodyguard. TMZ says David Kim claims LiLo owes him big bucks for unpaid security detail, including driving her around L.A. He wants $55,000; Lohan’s reps had no comment.

• Troubled starlet Britney Spears might be getting into the furniture business. The New York Post says Spears’ dad, Jamie, is trying to make Brit a spokeswoman job for Danish furniture broker Claus Hjelmbak. Hjelmbak denies this (wouldn’t you?) but the Post says a possible deal has been in the works for two months.

• Troubled starlet Pete Doherty has been jailed for 14 weeks for violating his probation and for using drugs, the BBC says. The porkpie-topped “rocker” apparently missed an appointment with his probation team and was late for another. A spokesman told NME that Doherty might appeal the sentence.

• Troubled starlet Amy Winehouse is not in the news today, which is a shame, because we almost had a Troubled Starlet Yahtzee. But we suspect she’ll pop up on TMZ soon enough, freebasing ground-up hippo tusk or some such nonsense.

Rob Lowe gets crazy with the lawsuits

Okay, let’s see if we can make some sense out of this Rob Lowe extortion story. On Monday the actor posted a cryptic missive on the Huffington Post, in which he says an ex-employee was trying to extort $1.5 million from the Lowe family, or else she would accuse them “of a vicious laundry list of false terribles.”

Then things got really crazy.

On Monday, Rob and wife Sheryl filed separate lawsuits against two former nannies and a former chef — whom he alleges had sex on Lowe’s bed and stole prescription drugs. In all, the Lowes are levying several charges including defamation and violation of confidentiality, and they want millions of dollars in damages.

Let’s take this one suit at a time. According to TMZ and People, the Lowes say ex-nanny Jessica Gibson claimed to have “a personal and intimate relationship (with Lowe)”; that she “bragged” about giving Lowe a massage; that Lowe sexually harassed her; and that Sheryl made “inappropriate comments of a sexual and racial nature” to her. (This all sounds bad, but remember: The Lowes are alleging that Gibson is going around spreading all this stuff, which would be defamatory to the Lowes. Moving on.)

In another suit, the Lowes claim former nanny Laura Boyce spread “malicious lies” about the Lowes and used “intimate and salacious” details of her personal life using “profane and vulgar” language.

Finally, the Lowes sued chef Peter Clements, alleging he had sex on the Lowes’ bed “with third parties”; stole pills from their medicine cabinet; broke security cameras; and overcharged them for food. (Okay, stealing pills is one thing, but overcharging for food? That’s the last straw.) Clements told TMZ the allegations were all news to him.

“Everyone knows we live in a time where public figures are targets,” Lowe wrote in his HuffPo editorial. “Well I won’t go away. No one intimidates my family. ... We will defend ourselves with vigor and without fear.”

Aniston works, Sandler and Simpson hurt

• Jennifer Aniston and her producing pal Kristin Hahn have formed their own company, Echo Films, to make movie magic, starting with a deal at Universal, Variety reports. The Juice*’s recommended plot: A hot, young actress is married to a heartthrob who leaves her for a hotter young actress, leaving the jilted lover to take several years before finally moving on with her life.

• Adam Sandler broke his ankle over the weekend playing basketball, but shooting for his Disney movie Bedtime Stories won’t be affected, the AP says. Seriously, how much work is lying in bed telling stories to children?

• Did you hear about In Touch’s report that Jessica Simpson was in the hospital for a minor kidney infection, but was released Monday? Did you care? Yeah, neither did we.

Heath Ledger may have secret Aussie love child

Apparently a sufficient amount of time has passed since Heath Ledger's death that all the atrocious stuff associated with celebrities kicking starts to come out. To wit: Australia's Daily Telegraph says Ledger may have fathered a secret love child.

A 17-year-old schoolboy Heath allegedly had an affair with an older woman who was living with another man at the time. After Heath and the woman broke it off, she discovered she was pregnant with a daughter, the paper claims.

"There is a very real possibility that Heath was the father," Heath's uncle Hadyn Ledger said. If true, that means estate claims would have to be split with Matilda Rose, Heath's two-year-old daughter with Michelle Williams. Of course, we wouldn't be surprised to hear this is some grand money-stealing scheme launched by the dreadful, outcast Ledger uncles, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Williamses split, JT's a hit, 'Today' shows are it

• Marsha Williams has filed for divorce from Robin Williams after almost 19 years of marriage, TMZ reports. Where’s Mrs. Doubtfire when you need her?

• Justin Timberlake will be the host of this year’s ESPY Awards for ESPN, the network has announced. We don’t he’ll be dropping his trousers for any of those winners like he did for Madonna.

• The Today show’s 13th annual concert series will feature Paula Abdul, Miley Cyrus, Ashlee Simpson, Rascal Flatts, Natasha Bedingfield, Neil Diamond, Mary J. Blige, Alanis Morissette, the B-52s, Donna Summer, Chris Brown, Kenny Chesney, Rihanna, Coldplay and Sheryl Crow, NBC said Wednesday. What, no Bon Jovi?

Katie Holmes collapses, run ragged by Tom

We've left Katie Holmes alone for too long -- Star is saying she's sickly and falling apart under the strain of living a fake life with Tom Cruise!

After a lunch at L.A. eatery Joan's on Third recently, a thin, pale and exhausted Katie almost collapsed, bracing herself against a door frame before being whisked off by her bodyguard. A source tells the mag that dizzy spells and headaches are the norm, and despite being emaciated, she feels compelled to lose more weight to please Tom, who is driving her to the brink.

"Katie doesn't get enough sleep — and hasn't for months now," a source says. "She's tired and drained much of the day because Tom is so wired, and they stay awake until after midnight. He has boundless energy, and she just can't compete."

His energy is so boundless, he apparently heads out for days at a time for boys' nights out and trips away from home, leaving her to fend for herself. We'd call that an actor being an actor, but what do we know?

"To him, the home is a status symbol, so it's on Katie's shoulders to pull off something beyond magnificent, something Tom can brag about," another source claims. "She's giving herself headaches thinking about it and making herself sick."

Well, it's not like she's been working a lot lately; Mad Money wasn't all that, dig?

Arnold Schwarzenegger fired Clint Eastwood

Not that you’ve been keeping up with California politics lately, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger proved last week you can choose your friends and family by bouncing pal Clint Eastwood and brother-in-law Bobby Shriver off the state parks commission.

The L.A. Times reports both men, who were appointed by Gov. Gray Davis in 2001 and reappointed by the Governator in 2004, learned about their fate through governor aides, despite their respective relationships to Schwarzenegger.

“I think it was just somebody got a bee under their bonnet at the right moment, so there we are,” Eastwood said.

While the official reason is that Schwarzenegger wanted others to take a crack at the commission, but wor around the campfire is it was because both Eastwood and Shriver opposed an Arnie-backed plan to run a toll road right through Orange County’s San Onofre State Beach, a plan that was defeated by the California Coastal Commission in February.

“I guess he felt we were going to be guys who were going to be obstructionists for anything through state parks,” Eastwood says. Yes, you’d think parks commissioners would be against plans to pave marine estuaries (even though Dirty Harry himself had once argued for laws to be bent so he could build a golf course some years back — that, too, was defeated).

But there’s no hard feelings, especially after Schwarzenegger called and apologized for how the sitch was handled, Clint claims.

“I’m a grown person; I’m not a kid,” Eastwood says. “The parks is a voluntary job, and it’s just a job you do, when they need you. It was fun. . . . They make changes, and that’s their prerogative. It’s not like I need a day job.”

Pam's split, 'Gossip Girl' slip, Bruce is whipped

• Pam Anderson and Rick Salomon's marriage officially never happened, with TMZ reporting an annulment based on fraud going through in an L.A. court. While the site says the claim stemmed from Pam promising Rick they would have kids together (she was pregnant when they separated but isn’t any more), we think any court would easily see the coupling was a fraud.

• In a shocking twist, rumors abound that the CW’s Gossip Girl is going to reveal on its April 21 episode that one of its male characters is gay, TV Guide says. This wouldn’t have anything to do with the other rumors that Chace Crawford has hooked up with boybander JC Chasez, would it?

• And now, almost eight years after getting divorced from wife Demi Moore, 53-year-old Bruce Willis is supposedly getting very serious about girlfriend Emma Heming (pictured), with a source telling the Daily Mail he “thinks the time is right to settle down.” Well, the time is always right to settle down with a lingerie model, don’t you think?

Kristin Davis ex Eric Stapelman is a big jerk

So the cat's pretty much out of the bag: Those really are naked pics of Kristin Davis making the rounds, even though there's be no official admission. What is clear, though, is that they were taken by her ex-boyfriend Eric Stapelman waaaaay back in 1992. So who is this guy?

Thanks to Best Week Ever, who has spent an alarming amount of time doing "research," Stapelman is a decidedly unpopular chef at a schmancy Sante Fe restaurant called Trattoria Nostrani. And according to anecdotal evidence, he's such a vindictive jackhole that he not only sold his pics of Davis to a friend, but he's a veritable Oscar the Grouch at his restaurant.

Restaurant reviews all over the interwebs say Stapelman has a tendency to throw out patrons if they are too "scented," as evidenced by gossipy reviews at Mouthfuls and Trip Advisor. If patrons happen to disagree, the executive chef/owner will chase people out into parking lots and even into other restaurants, yelling the entire way. Gee, we can't imagine why Davis broke it off with him.

'Sex' pics, Wentz is sick, Wino's shtick

• Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis and her reps deny it, but TMZ has discovered that the nude photos allegedly of Kristin were taken by her ex-beau Eric Stapelman, who sold the pics to someone to get back at her. If he wanted to get back at her, they should remind her that Kim Cattrall’s Samantha is supposed to be the sexy one.

• Pete Wentz tells MTV that he once tried to kill himself by taking a lot of the anti-anxiety drug Ativan in his car at a Best Buy parking lot, but his mommy showed up and took him to a hospital. Maybe next time he should just try drinking too much Gatorade or mixing Bayer and Tylenol; listening to his girlfriend Ashlee Simpson sing would be more effective.

• Amy Winehouse wants to raise awareness about breast cancer by posing nude in the April issue of Brit women’s mag Easy Living, RadarOnline says. Wino is probably also hoping the photo, which shows her jaybird-style with duct tape on her breasts, will distract us from the claw marks all over her arms and the raging impetigo on her face ... not working, though.

Some details about new 'Beverly Hills 90210'

Thanks to Variety, we now know some details of the alleged Beverly Hills, 90210 spinoff. Even though the CW hasn't given the show the go-ahead, we do know there will be some effort to make it a wee bit more racially diverse.

It will focus on the family of Tabitha Mills, a sexagenarian actress fighting alcholism by living in a posh Hills estate. Sounds tough. Her son Harrison, who graduation from Beverly Hills High in the '80s, moves back to the famous zip after living in St. Louis for years.

With him comes his Olympic athlete wife, Celia, who can't wait for California. Of course they have two bratty 16-year olds, emo daughter Annie and bad boy adoptee son Dixon. Hilarity ensues.

Other characters that show times have changed include Daphne Silver, Annie's friend, who has a crush on Dixon and hosts her own YouTube series, and Max Silver, Daphne's brother, who manages the family movie theater at the local mall, which no doubt is replacing the Peach Pit.

And let's not forget Navid Shirazi, the producer of the school's video newscast; Ethan Ward, the jock of the group; and Naomi Bennett, Ethan's hot, rich girlfriend. It's good to see the show won't rely on cliched characters.

Sarah Jessica Parker swears she really is sexy

Stand back, everyone: Sarah Jessica Parker is all kinds of upset that Maxim has named her "unsexiest woman in the world," according to Grazia magazine.

"It's so brutal in a way, so filled with rage and anger," the 43-year-old actress said. "It upset (husband Matthew Broderick), because it has to do with his judgment too."

Wait a sec -- who cares what a mag that sells half-naked pics of jailbait and features American Apparel in its fashion section says? Sarah was voted No. 1 over the likes of Amy Winehouse, Sandra Oh, Madonna and Britney Spears, proving that the list is ridiculous. Wino obviously is the winner in that camp.

"Do I have big fake boobs, Botox and big lips? No. Do I fit some ideals and standards of some men writing in a men's magazine? Maybe not," Parker said. "Am I really the unsexiest women in the world? Wow! It's kind of shocking ... It's condemnation, it's insane. What can I do? I guess you can't please all people."

And while we do think Sarah is a little horsey, maybe she should keep in mind that the target audience is college freshman, and the only one she needs to please is Ferris Bueller.

Busey's sorry, Busta's slapped, Minghella's gone and Halle Berry's baby has a name

• Gary Busey has apologized for oozing all over Jennifer Garner on the Oscars red carpet last month, saying, “I meant no disrespect to Ms. Jennifer Garner when I met her at the Oscars and apologize if I made her uncomfortable,” the AP reports. Good thing, too, because Ben Affleck was this close to maybe thinking about saying something.

• Busta Rhymes was sentenced to three years’ probation Tuesday for beating up his former driver and a fan, plus 10 days of community service, a $1,250 fine and court costs, and enroll in a DUI program, the AP says. Good thing, too, because the criminal justice system was this close to maybe thinking about working for once.

• And on a sad note, Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella (above) died Tuesday of a hemorrhage following surgery in London. He was 54. That’s a bad thing, because we were maybe thinking Hollywood would make more good movies like The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain.

• Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry have decided to name their daughter Nahla Ariela Aubry, an Arabic-based name that means “drink of water,” Reuters says. That should slake your gossip thirst.

Kristin Davis denies rumors she's in a sex tape

Rumors abound all over the internet that Sex and the City’s Kristin Davis has a sex tape and is the subject of all sorts of NSFW photos being plastered on the Web (that’s what Google is for, folks), despite the actress’ rep denying it’s Kristin in the images.

The purported tape is being shopped around by a California broker no doubt hoping to cash in on the buzz surrounding Sex and the City’s silver screen debut on May 30, TMZ says. The sales pitch is that it’s Davis with an ex-boyfriend five years ago, and the seller has leaked 20 pics from the shoot as proof.

“This is not a photo of Kristin Davis,” the actress’ rep says. “There is no sex tape.” True, it doesn’t quite look like her, but it would be a good marketing tool to get people aware of the movie’s release. Just saying ... "sex" is right in the title, after all.

Snoop Dogg keeps it real on 'The View'

In what has to be the most incongruous coupling since Joe Pesci hooked up with Angie Everhart, Snoop Dogg showed up on The View on Friday to shill his new album, Ego Trippin', and TV show, Father Hood.

Snoop was nice enough to humor Barbara Walters and the gang questioning him about changing his image (along with asking him about his youth football league, clothing line and addiction to One Life to Live).

"I just think it's evolution; When I become a full-grown man I'm stepping into you know reality and seeing what I need to be doing," he said. "... When y'all seen me before I was still growing, I was still finding out who I was, and right now I've finally come to the pinnacle and I understand that this is what I need to be doing and I'm happy to be doing it."

But don't cry for the passing of our old D-O-double-G; When Babs asked him if that meant giving up the weed, he replied, "I didn't say that." Why not?   

"I just have a medical condition where I need to have medical marijuana in my life," he smirked. "I can't see that good." Riiight.

Catch the whole interview in the video above. And hope your son doesn't grow up to date Snoop's daughter.

McCartney owes, Minnie grows, Ray's show, celebrities act appropo and Madonna is gross

• Paul McCartney will have to pay Heather Mills $50 million in a divorce settlement to be announced on Monday, the U.K.’ Evening Standard reports. Macca should be able to knock that out with another iTunes deal no problem.

• Minnie Driver confirmed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno that she is pregnant, but wouldn’t disclose any other details. Like, what the heck she did to talk her way into that job on The Riches.

• Reports of Rachael Ray’s TV demise are unfounded, the New York Daily News says, with CBS Television Distribution pointing out that her show actually has a waiting list of 150,000 prospective audience members. That’s a lot of 30-minute meals.

• Not On Our Watch, a charity founded by George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle, has donated $500,000 to the United Nations World Food Program, the AP reports. And that’s just from the spare change under their couch cushions.

• And finally, the cover of Madonna’s next album, Hard Candy, has been released. We’re thankful it will only be about an inch tall on our iPod. (Yes, that’s two Apple references in the same item. Sue us.)

Mimi stands in, De Niro wins, Foster fan sins

• Since Janet Jackson is out with the flu, Mariah Carey will replace her as musical guest on this weekend’s Saturday Night Live, the AP reports. NBC must have diva insurance.

• Speaking of insurance, a lawsuit brought by Fireman’s Fund Insurance Co. against Robert De Niro claiming the actor misrepresented his health when signing up for Hide and Seek in 2003 has been dismissed. A prostate biopsy taken five days before the actor signed the medical papers only came up positive two days after filing.

• And speaking of filing, a Massachusetts man was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly mailing a bomb threat to Van Nuys Airport making mention of actress Jodie Foster, E! reports. The big tip? He had admitted to postal inspectors in 2005 he had been mailing anonymous letters pleading to Foster to call him for about a year.

Brit works, Heather's quirks, Simon smirks, Ledger shirks

• Britney Spears is trying to keep busy with an upcoming guest role on How I Met Your Mother, according to Pink is the New Blog. She’ll be the one who argues against dating backup dancers.

• Heather Locklear’s psychiatrist was the one who called 911 over the weekend saying the actress was attempting suicide, even though she really wasn’t, TMZ says. She was just saying marrying Richie Sambora was career suicide.

• The Daily Mail has been flashing pics of Simon Cowell speeding around L.A. in black, $1.4 million Bugatti Veyron, the fastest production car in the world. If only he could afford to make American Idol go faster.

• Heath Ledger’s will was never updated after his 2-year-old daughter Matilda Rose was born, so neither she nor baby’s mama Michelle Williams are entitled to a dime, since he left everything to his parents and three sisters, the AP reports. That’s sad, since the residuals from The Dark Knight alone would put her through college.

Wino's skin, J.Lo's kin, Drew's big spin

• A gross lump on the left side of Amy Winehouse’s face has turned out to be the contagious skin infection impetigo, Us says. We can’t help but think that’s the least serious thing you could catch from Wino these days.

• In case you missed it, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have told People the names of their new twins: Max and Emme. It’s nice to know they didn’t bow to the pressures of selling the kids’ names in sponsorship deals.

• Drew Barrymore announced on Monday’s Oprah Winfrey Show that she’s donating $1 million to the World Food Programme to help feed starving African children. So take that, Scarlett Johansson.

Did Hulk Hogan, Brooke's friend have affair?

One of the reasons Hulk Hogan and his wife Linda are getting divorced may be because he couldn’t help himself with one of his daughter Brooke’s friends, the National Enquirer is reporting.

“My relationship with Terry began at a time when Terry and Linda privately knew their marriage was ending,” Brooke’s pal Christiane Plante told the rag. “She had left him already, although no official papers had been filed.” We’re guessing that isn’t helping Christiane’s friendship with Brooke, either.

"Having felt the guilt and pain build up, I gave a note to Brooke apologizing for my actions,” the 33-year-old Plante said. “I will never be able to fully forgive myself for this. I have lost an amazing friend.” Something tells us Hallmark doesn’t make Sorry I Fooled Around With Your Dad cards.

The Enquirer says the ongoing affair was common knowledge on the set of Hogan Knows Best, but Linda, Brooke and son Nick had no idea. He even had been paying the bill for her Miami Beach apartment, she says.

MySpace spies may have noticed a post to Brooke’s blog a week ago in which she says, “I’m going through one of the hardest issues I’ve ever had to deal with in my life … please keep me and my family in your prayers.”

Perez Hilton was eagle-eyed enough to spot another post two days after that (since deleted) in which Brooke lamented “When your best friend and one of your closest family members that you have loved unconditionally since your first day on this earth, betray you together, you could MAYBE find it in yourself to forgive one day … but you will NEVER forget the hurt they caused you …”

The Juice* couldn’t forgive or forget, because that’s skeevy on a whole different level.

Orlando Bloom is smelly, Miranda Kerr says

Orlando Bloom’s girlfriend Miranda Kerr has raised a big stink about her beau’s stink, Star says.

“Miranda thinks Orlando is too smelly,” a friend of the couple says. “Recently, she asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often. … (Orlando) goes days without washing his clothes. He’ll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks.”

The same “friend” swears Bloom has tried to clean up his act, but apparently he had issues about knowing whether his relationship with the Victoria’s Secret model would last.

Gee, how about some common courtesy, Orlando? Just because you play a pirate doesn’t mean you ahve to live like one.
