Snubbed By The Fashion Community… And Bitter



As we mentioned last week, hasbeen stylist Rachel Zoe was originally invited to the ultimate fashion party of the year, the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

That is, of course, until host and Vogue editrix Anna Wintour decided to disinvite her.

Anna was the co-hostess for the evening, and bitch can do anything she wants either way!

Of course, Vogue reps are denying that Raisinface was ever disinvited. But insiders insist that she was.

Zoe was spotted at Allure’s "most alluring bodies" photo exhibit in NYC on Wednesday, and her snub was all that journos wanted to talk about!

She was asked by a reporter to comment on the supposed dis-invite.

That's when Zoe snapped back saying, "I don’t really want to talk about that. I’m here to talk about the event."

So then they mentioned the event, asking how does Allure editor, Linda Wells' style differ from Anna Wintour's?

And to that, Zoe quickly responded, "Everybody’s different," and walked away.

She just walked away! Ha!

Seems like someone's still bitter because of the "dis-invite."

She should just be bitter because she's Rachel Zoe!

Pay Up



David Hasselhoff wants his ex-wife, Pamela Bach, to pay a $8,400 lawyer bill he incurred fighting her in divorce court.

Bitchslap!

The Hoff filed papers with the LA County Courts on Wednesday asking that the $8,400 be deducted from the $1 million he's already been ordered to pay her.

He was also ordered to pay Bach $21,000 a month in spousal support and a total of $4,000 in child support for the couple’s teenage daughters.

Divorce is expensive!

Can't knock The Hoff for trying to save money where he can!

Lohan vs. Lohan

As we mentioned yesterday, some crazy ladies on the East coast gave Dina Lohan an award for being one of the Top 20 Moms in Long Island.

Ha ha! HAAAAA!!!!!!!

We still can't help but laugh.

And it seems we aren't the only ones that find it crazy. Ex-hubby Michael Lohan had a few words to say about Dina and her award.

Michael says, "Are you kidding! Top celebrity mom? Look at her off-screen antics, her lack of morals and how she conducts herself. I guess they forgot to mention how this top super-mom leaves her kids alone at night and even parties in their presence. Just wait until we go back to court."

And the drama begins again.

We love you Poppa Lohan!

Michael continued, "She comes stumbling out of Butter at 3:15 a.m. with bloodshot eyes and a red runny nose, yelling 'Oh, [bleep],' when she saw the paparazzi."

According to Michael, it turns out Dina was supposed to have attended their weekly family therapy appointment this week and didn't show in order to go to the award ceremony.

To that Dina responded, "He's a loose cannon. We speak to a therapist once a week and I'm not required to be there. My kids want me there, so I go. Obviously with our [TV] show and the event, [daughter] Ali and I rescheduled. I've allowed him visitation once a week, so I don't understand why he's doing this. He's jealous that I got the award. He even called the organizers and tried to talk them out of giving it to me."

The organizers should have listened!

We bet they probably just wanted the publicity, though. Smart PR people.

Dina's theory is that Michael is just using the media to try and communicate with her, since she has a restraining order against him until 2011.

She adds, "He's using the media to talk to me. I'm getting nervous. Lindsay came to town two weeks ago and wanted security guys there in case he showed up. His parole officer needs to see what he's doing and realize that he cannot address me directly or indirectly. He wears a tracking device and they'll know if he comes anywhere near me. He's on a mission to destroy me."

Restraining orders. Conspiracy theories. Shit talking.

We loves it!

This shit better be on Orange Oprah's crappy reality show!

Stay tuned for more Lohan vs Lohan.

Don't Bother Seeing It



Yes, it really is that bad!

The reviews are in and critics are shredding the new Speed Racer film to pieces.

USA Today gave it a whopping 1 and 1/2 stars.

And, the Associated Press is saying, "In adapting the 1960s Japanese anime television series, writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski have created a noisy, overlong, mind-numbing extravaganza that seems tailor-made for nobody but themselves and their twisted sensibilities. At two hours and 15 minutes, it's way too long for little kids, the only ones for whom this explosion at a crayon factory would seem even vaguely entertaining. Adults seeking the nostalgia of their own childhood will just be disappointed, because Speed Racer the movie bears little resemblance to Speed Racer the TV cartoon."

Sucks for them!

At least the new Batman movie seems promising!

Golden Platinum Balls



And he gets even richer!

David Beckham is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Though he got a huge payday when he joined the Los Angeles Galaxy, the soccer stud makes his big money through endorsements.

The Brit's latest partnership is with Sharpie. Becks is their new spokeswhore and just shot a commercial (above) for the brand, which will begin airing globally in July.

Ronnie's gonna have to work a little bit harder!

Badass!



A little showing off in front of the paparazzi does a body goo!

Robert Downey, Jr. practices Wing Chun Kung Fu martial arts with an instructor in his driveway.

He probably pulled a Spencer & Heidi and called the paparazzi up himself!

The actor later grabbed lunch with his son and a friend.

She Cancelled



What a Diva!

As we mentioned earlier this week, Mariah Carey was set to perform next week in Dubai (on May 15th).

Her concert was to be followed by a Fergie concert the following day.

However, Mimi has just cancelled the show. And, guess what?

Fergie cancelled too!

Sucks for Dubai.

According to the official press release that just came out today, it sates, "Midas Promotions along with Blue Giraffe Entertainment and On Golden Pond Pictures regret to announce the 'Divas in Dubai' concert event is being rescheduled to a later date in the Fall 2008."

Oh that's right. They're calling it "rescheduled" or "postponed."

It goes on to say, “Mariah and Fergie are disappointed that they won’t be able to perform. They had scheduled this one special event in their calendars and were looking forward to performing for the Dubai fans.”

Hah, yea right.

We can figure out why Mimi cancelled. She just got married, her name is everywhere in the press, she probably wants to hide away for a bit.

But why would Fergie cancel? Her life seems pretty boring these days and it's not like she couldn't use the extra money!

As for the "official" reason for the cancellation postponement, it states that “the extremely compressed time frame along with unforeseen logistical complications compelled us to move the event later in the year to ensure a show commensurate with the level of success of these world class Artists and the people of Dubai.”

Riiiiiight.

And for those unfortunate ones that already purchased tickets, no worries. Your credit cards will be refunded within 2-4 weeks. Fun.

Now let's hope Nick Carey doesn't pull a Mariah and cancel on an important CHARITY event!

His "Summer" Look



He got a haircut!!!!!

Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy showed up to a party at Pete Wentz's NYC bar, Angels & Kings, on Wednesday night with a new 'do.

He cut it very very short.

And we LIKE it!

Travis will be on the Warped tour this summer with his girlfriend of several years, which - in case you didn't know - is Katy Perry.

Kimora vs. Russell



Russell Simmons and Kimora Lee Simmons filed for divorce back in 2006, though claim they had been separated for some time before.

Fast forward over two years later and the divorce case is still ongoing!

According to their legal papers, the couple is splitting due to "irreconcilable differences."

This Tuesday, Simmons filed a response to his former wife's divorce petition in a Los Angeles court.

Simmons is seeking for joint physical and legal custody of his daughters with Kimora. The girls are 8 and 5.

But, in Kimora's divorce filings this March, she requested that Russell get only "reasonable child visitation" and is "to be accompanied at all times by the children's nanny and security personnel."

WTF? Since when does a father need to be accompanied by a nanny AND security?

Unless he's a threat to the child.

Is that what Kimora is suggesting? Why else wouldn't she allow joint or unsupervised custody.

Both Russell and Kimora are also asking the court to deny spousal support for the other.

Things are about to get ugly!

She Wants Out

Time to check out of the hospital!

A source close to Katherine Heigl reveals that the actress wants out of her Grey's Anatomy contract.

The insider says, “She's working really long hours and is ready to move on.”

Heigl doesn't really 'need' Grey's anymore, right? She has proven that she's a movie star. Hiegl-fronted flicks Knocked Up and 27 Dresses were box office gold.

A movie industry expert is quoted as saying, “She’s a smart one. She saw what can happen with someone like Jennifer Aniston, who was crazy successful on TV, but can’t seem to carry a film, and she tested the waters early.”

Unfortunately, Heigl probably won't get what she wants says the source — she's locked in to her Grey's contract.

We assume they're right! ABC and its parent company, Disney, aren't the kind of people who'll let a cash cow walk away so easily!

Moooooooooo!!!!!! Milk her!

Orange Oprah, Humanitarian!



Dina Lohan is letting this whole award-winning mother role very seriously.

Not only is she giving Miley Cyrus' mom parenting advice, but Orange Oprah is also now attending charity events!

Seems like Dina wants to "rehab" her image.

Here's Momma Lohan with family friend, Angie Harmon, at the 5th Annual Candies Foundation 'Event To Prevent' Benefit, held at Cipriani in NYC on Wednesday night.

Next thing you know, Dina's gonna be running for city council in her hometown in Long Island….and she'd probably get elected!!!!

Catching Up With Harlow





Ever since she made her public debut, little Harlow Madden has kept a very low profile. She's chill like that!

But, now, parents Joel Madden and Nicole Richie are pimping out showing off their little girl in the new issue of Harper's Bazaar.

And they didn't even get paid for these pics!

She sure is a cutie.

On things getting serious in June of 2007 when they ran into each other at the premiere of Ocean’s Thirteen: “I got texts, and we just started talking. George is funny and sweet, and he’s good to be around. I see him as a normal person, like anyone else. He just happens to have a well-known face.”

On watching marathons of Rock of Love with Bret Michaels while recovering from their motorcycle accident last September: “We caught ourselves rooting for someone or getting frustrated. And we were like, ‘This is sad.’”

Meryl Streep is Julia Child — First Picture!



Here is first look of Meryl Streep as Julia Child from the upcoming biopic Julie & Julia.

Here’s the movie’s plotline via Wiki: Frustrated temp secretary Julie Powell (Amy Adams) embarks on a yearlong culinary quest to cook all 524 recipes in Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking. She chronicles her trials and tribulations in a blog that catches on with the food crowd. The film also covers the years Julia Child and her husband Paul (Stanley Tucci) spent in Paris during the 1940s and ’50s, when Paul was a foreign diplomat who was eventually investigated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy for alleged communist ties.

Julie & Julia is currently filming and is slated to be released in 2009. The film is based on Julie Powell’s memoir Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen. Directing is Nora Ephron, whose film credits include Sleepless in Seattle, You’ve Got Mail and Bewitched. Dave Annable (Brothers & Sisters) and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24) also costar.

Shia LaBeouf is a Muscular Mutt



Here are some new promo pics from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull out Thursday, May 22.

Here’s the official synopsis via Paramount: The newest Indiana Jones adventure begins in the desert Southwest in 1957 – the height of the Cold War. Indy (Harrison Ford) and his sidekick Mac (Ray Winstone) have barely escaped a close scrape with nefarious Soviet agents on a remote airfield.

Now, Professor Jones has returned home to Marshall College – only to find things have gone from bad to worse. His close friend and dean of the college (Jim Broadbent) explains that Indy’s recent activities have made him the object of suspicion, and that the government has put pressure on the university to fire him. On his way out of town, Indiana meets rebellious young Mutt (Shia LaBeouf), who carries both a grudge and a proposition for the adventurous archaeologist: If he’ll help Mutt on a mission with deeply personal stakes, Indy could very well make one of the most spectacular archaeological finds in history – the Crystal Skull of Akator, a legendary object of fascination, superstition and fear.

Rihanna & Chris Brown’s KFC Kiss



Rihanna and Chris Brown share a passionate kiss at a KFC in Miami, Florida on Wednesday.

It was PDA central as RiRi, 20, was seen wrapping her arms around Chris, 19, as they waited by the counter for their order. She also kissed his neck and held his hand… all in public!

The couple has been very coy about their relationship. Rihanna recently told Elle of Chris: “We’ve always been friends, but we’re very close now.”

They are what we call friends with benefits… or Frien-efits!

Jenniter Aniston is Strumming John Mayer’s Guitar



John Mayer arrived at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Miami Beach at 12:30 p.m. today, reports Life & Style.

That’s the same hotel Jennifer Aniston is staying at!

“John came in with another man who looked like a personal trainer,” an eyewitness spills. John was in long gray shorts and a green T-shirt, and he was holding a water bottle. He looked like he had just finished a workout. His hair was still in its new signature cut, and he was in a great mood.”

In Touch is also reporting that after filming for three months in Miami, Aniston has big plans for the wrap party of Marley & Me. The celebration will reportedly take place at Nikki Beach in Coconut Grove on May 10, where John Mayer will perform a special three-song set.

“Everything was changed last minute so John could do this for her. He’s crazy about Jen.” another insider says. “It’s hot and heavy but in that very cool way. John isn’t gong to hide his adoration and he’s telling everyone what a cool chick Jen is.”

Sarah Jessica Parker Talks ‘Parade’ Sex



Sarah Jessica Parker graces the cover of Parade and dishes about politics, parenting and, of course Sex! Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

On Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha not young anymore: “Their lives are much less frivolous. They can’t cope with their problems by putting on their sweats and staying up all night and ordering in food and gossiping about the men in their lives. There is less self-absorption but perhaps a little more self-awareness.”

On spending so much time with her 5-year-old son James Wilke: “I put him to bed every night. I get him dressed. I’m the one who gives him his toothbrush. I take him to school every morning. He’s very small, but his personality is 6 feet 4. I’m spending the whole summer with him out at our beach house.”

On being the stricter parent (her husband is Matthew Broderick): “Does it surprise anybody that I would be? It’s not that Matthew spoils him, but he just has a different way of parenting than I do. I was never spoiled. Oh, dear no. I was the baby of the family only for a wee time, and I was lucky to get any attention, let alone be spoiled. A few years ago, I found all our baby books. My two older brothers’ baby books were filled with pictures. Then we found mine, and it only had my name written in it. There was nothing else in there. Not one picture. So there you have it. I’ve been starved for attention ever since.”

Sex and the City: The Movie opens in theaters everywhere on Friday, May 30.

Scarlett Johansson Dishes on Her Dads

Scarlett Johansson spent some time in the wilderness in a photoshoot reminiscent of her new album cover contemplating life and men for Paste magazine. Sure, she looks cute in that red dress, but we're too busy trying to picture her wedding gown already. In the article titled "My Five Dads" Scarlett keeps quiet about her new fiancé Ryan Reynolds (boo), but she dishes on the men she considers father figures: Bill Murray, Woody Allen, Tom Waits, Barack Obama, and Bob Dylan. Here are highlights:



* On Bill Murray: “Bill brings an integrity to the work because he really personalizes it,” she says. “He shared his own kind of wisdom in that film. Some of his lines were things he had written, very poignant moments like when he says, ‘You get older, you have kids….’ He’s reminiscing with this character. I think a lot of people related to his character because it was really coming from him."

* On Barack Obama: “It’s been so exciting to get out there and talk to kids—and I say ‘kids’ meaning my peers—about why I appreciate Barack. He’s confronting health-care issues that affect young people. You know, most of my friends don’t have insurance. They’re working as photo assistants and stuff like that. These kids on the campaign trail asking questions, they are so well-informed. They’re asking really specific policy questions. It impacts whether they decide to vote for Clinton or Obama, or decide to register as independent or support McCain. They have real concerns, and they want answers. I love that part of it. So that’s a whole other aspect of this life that’s been fun and inspiring.”

* On Woody Allen: "I don’t know why relationships between men and women are always pigeon-holed into being some kind of push-and-pull for sexual power. I’m always kind of weirded out when I’m interviewed by people who say, ‘Gosh! Woody must be in love with you.’ It’s like, ‘f*cking expand your mind.’ We have a great friendship between us and I have such a fondness for him as a person. I can appreciate his quirks.”

A New Dream Car for Dempsey?

Between playing official race car driver and the collection he already has, everyone knows Patrick Dempsey loves his wheels. Yesterday he considered treating himself to another one as he drove his Porsche to check out the Jaguar dealership in LA. We're all glad to have Grey's back even though we're already gearing up for the big finale event in two weeks. While you wouldn't be heartbroken if Katherine Heigl left the show, hopefully we don't have to worry about Dr. Shepherd leaving us to pursue the rebirth of his movie career.

Lindsay Lohan's Labors of Love

Lindsay rewarded her weekend of hard work on the set of Ugly Betty with dinner at Magnolia with Samantha Ronson in LA last night. She's not even trying to stay away from Hollywood nightlife these days, but at least she's balancing her partying with hard work, and not just on the small screen. Lindsay will star in another comedy called Labor Pains after shooting Ye Olde Times with Jack Black. Unfortunately for LL, her parents are too wrapped up in their own drama to keep the Lohan family in a positive media light for longer than a day.

Heidi Montag Is Maxim Hotter Than LC

Heidi Montag looked surprisingly normal, casual and down to earth grabbing lunch with Spencer Pratt in LA yesterday. At this point, really any time that she's not in the tiniest skimpiest thing she can find, it's a triumph of taste. While I much prefer her in sneakers and jeans Heidi to bikini on the beach Heidi, I'd be willing to bet that the editors of Maxim don't agree. In fact, they named her No. 36 on their Hot 100 list while Lauren Conrad came in at No. 56. The editors wrote, "Let's hear it for villainy!" Congrats to Miss Montag, though if I were LC, I wouldn't be too offended.

Another Baby for Tom and Katie?



Do Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a joint production in the works?

We don't mean the movie kind, either: We hear they want to have another a baby.

According to friends who schmoozed with the Cruises in New York earlier this week, Katie wants to have another baby soon, and she has been hinting as much to her husband.

"She said she's got the itch," said a friend close to the pair. "Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister."

Depp Fans Urge a Little More Wrist Action



Johnny Depp doesn't sport all that jewelry just to look hot. (That's just a by-product.)

In advance of his 45th birthday on June 9, Johnny's Angels—a club whose members share both a love for the Sweeney Todd star and a yen for doing good—is urging fellow fans to don a Children's Hospice and Palliative Care Coalition memorial bracelet (which Depp has been spotted wearing) in honor of the brave kids involved with the organization and the way they've touched the lives of others.

Depp's wristwear is imprinted with the phrase "Today Is a Gift...Have Fun," but other choices include "Only Love" and "Live and Love It Up." The messages are printed on a silver bar on a silver or leather band and 100 percent of the proceeds go to the CHPCC.

"Thanks to organizations like Johnny's Angels, more and more people are learning about the work of [CHPCC]," said cofounders Lori Butterworth and Devon Dabbs. "With the support of Mr. Depp's fans, we know that we'll be better able to make a difference in the lives of children with life-threatening conditions and their families."

Other celebs who have worn the bracelets: Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Mandy Moore, Jeremy Piven, Kiefer Sutherland, Nia Vardalos, Bradley Whitford, Jane Kaczmarek and Tom Bergeron.

Gwyneth Paltrow Wears Panties



Miley Cyrus isn't the only one posing for magazines in a bedsheet. British GQ has Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover, and the inside shots of the Iron lady show her in nothin' but peekaboo lingerie like slips, bras and garters.

This is as risqué as gets, but still the mother of two remains a target of the tabloid press.

“I’m not going out without my knickers, and I’m not getting drunk and I’m not on my eighth husband,” she tells writer Johnny Davis. “Sometimes they have to drum up a lot of controversy over nothing.”

The only thing we can accuse Paltrow of being is, well, boring. I mean, she’s cooking family dinners and even recites pasta recipes from memory.

What's next—hosting Tupperware parties?

Plaster of Paris



Is Paris Hilton prepping for a House of Wax sequel?

How else to explain the normally statuesque socialite looking more like a glistening statue Thursday while attending a press conference to announce her partnership with Sally Beauty Supply to design a new collection of hair extensions.

As for the split shot, you'll just have to guess which one is the dummy.

Alec Vows No More Mean Voice Mails



Say what you want about Alec Baldwin, but the man clearly learns from his (very public) mistakes. Sort of.

"If you go through the things I have gone through with the media, like this thing with my daughter, there's only one thing that comes to mind initially: That is how my daughter must have felt to have this played out in public," he tells 60 Minutes of that voice mail in an interview to air Sunday.

"The second thing I realize is, you can pretty much bet all you own that I would never leave another voice mail message for my daughter that wasn't just like something out of a Rodgers & Hammerstein score."

But while the 30 Rock star may refrain from calling his daughter a "thoughtless little pig" on a recorded medium again, he, much to the enjoyment of the public, apparently won't be exercising similar restraint with regard to those on his ex-wife's payroll.

When asked by Morley Safer whether it was appropriate to call Kim Basinger's divorce lawyer "a 300-pound homunculus with a face like a clenched fist," Baldwin replies, "I was being kind, Morley."

Jack Donaghy couldn't have said it better himself.

NBC Toys With Heroes Dolls



Forget saving—come this summer, kids and creepy aging fanboys alike can do whatever they want to the cheerleader.

NBC has teamed up with Mezco Toyz to launch the first batch of collectible figures based on the Heroes characters.

Hayden Panettiere's cheerleader Claire Bennet, Masi Oka's time- and space-bending office drone Hiro Nakamura, Milo Ventimiglia's absorbent Peter Petrelli, Sendhil Ramamurthy's erudite Mohinder Suresh and Zachary Quinto's villainous Sylar are the characters that made the initial cut and are set to debut in all their seven-inch glory in June.

The remainder of the superpowered set will be released in two additional waves over the course of the year, as will—most potentially disturbingly—an assortment of alternate heads for the dolls, which will cost between $17 and $20.

Living out adolescent fantasies in the privacy of one's own home...priceless.

We Almost Had Your Back, Mischa



We wanted to go on record and say that Mischa Barton is beautiful.

We wanted to denounce those recent nasty barbs about her cellulite as getting on our non-size-0 nerves.

We had planned to stand on the rooftops and scream, “Mischa Barton is not out of shape! She is a beautiful woman, and even beautiful women have a little cellulite! Back off!”

But then she went out in public Wednesday night in NYC dressed like Punky Brewster dipped in Mary-Kate Olsen sauce, and we found ourselves having to take it all back.

Damn you, Mischa!

PDA Front and Center on HSM3 Set



Ah, to be young and in love—because we all know how those romances turn out.

Production on High School Musical 3 is in full swing, and costars Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens so far have made the set a PDA-fest.

During a 15-hour shoot in the auditorium of Salt Lake City's East High on Tuesday, sources say when Efron and Hudgens weren't holding hands and laughing at each other's jokes in between takes, they were sprawled out on the front of the auditorium stage "like lovers on a picnic."

"When they're not needed on set, they're on each other's laps," says a set source, adding that the young lovers also were playfully waltzing while costar Corbin Bleu played the piano.

J.Love: No Wedding Date, but Hello, Honeymoon

Tonys Make Whoopi



Whoopi Goldberg's all set to give her regards to Broadway.

The View host has been tapped to emcee the 62nd Annual Tony Awards June 15 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The hardware will be handed out live on CBS. Nominations for the Great White Way's greatest hits will be announced next Tuesday.

"I'm very excited to be hosting the Tony Awards," said Goldberg, whose trophy case includes a Tony to go along with her Oscar, Golden Globes, Emmy and Grammy.

"I love Broadway, and I’m thrilled to be doing anything for the first time. I’m gonna have a blast."

Lancôme Faces Up to Uma



The former face of Lancôme looks angry.

The French cosmetics maker has sued its erstwhile spokesmodel in an attempt to ward off her attempt to collect at least $1 million for the alleged use of her picture in foreign ads after her contract expired in 2005.

Per the complaint filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, Lancôme maintains it never "knowingly or intentionally" continued to use Thurman's face to push its products and that any webpages still featuring her old photos were never meant to be publicly available.

But according to her attorney, Thurman, who inked a multimillion-dollar deal with Lancôme in 2000, says her pics showed up on Asian websites and on a Canadian billboard touting the company's Miracle skin-care line. She has not formally filed suit against Lancôme, which is looking to have a judge preemptively rule that the company did not wrongfully use her image.

Lancôme "pulled the pages off as soon as they found out about them," Peter Raymond, one of the company's lawyers, told the New York Daily News. "They didn't even know they were there."

They are also open to a settlement, he said.

But in a letter to Lancôme, Thurman's attorney, Burt Fields, wrote that even $1 million hardly fits the bill.

"Look at the huge free benefit Lancôme gets from using her," Fields told the Daily News. "The French want to accept that benefit without paying for it."

"Obviously, the French have decided they won't even try to resolve this amicably," he said. "So they have filed this sneak attack."

Better this sneak attack than some, of course. Lancôme's action comes two days after avid Uma fan Jack Jordan was convicted of stalking and harassing the Kill Bill star. The presiding judge remanded him to protective custody and ordered a psychological evaluation. Sentencing is scheduled for next month.

ABC Suffers From Promophobia

ABC had no problem throwing Isaiah Washington under the bus when "Grey's Anatomy" was doing big ratings -- and they have no problem using him in promos now that the show is in a ratings freefall.



Promos for this week's episode feature Isaiah's mug -- and his character is even part of the storyline this week. One problem -- he ain't in it! Isaiah is actually down in New Orleans shooting a new movie with Forest Whitaker.

We're told Isaiah is pissed at the show for using his pic, after they 86'd him from the show because of that whole despicable "faggot" thing.

Isaiah's rep, Howard Bragman, tells TMZ, "Isaiah has no plans to go back to 'Grey's Anatomy' ... That being said, we were more than a little surprised that ABC used his likeness in a promo for the show, and indeed advanced his character's storyline. Mr. Washington's attorney has contacted the Screen Actors Guild and ABC as to the appropriateness of that action."

A rep for ABC could not be reached for comment.

Suri's Big Coverup

"Kate" Holmes has plunked down cash for more than 40 blankets for her little Scientolo-tot. What, like she's supposed to get hand-me-downs from the Beckham boys?



A source at trendy baby boutique Little Giraffe told us that Tom's wife buys the $78 plush, satin and Chenille blanket in bulk - ten at a time. We're guessing laundry day at the Cruise compound comes around as often as "Kate" gets good movie roles.

Robbie Williams Swears It's This Big

Robbie Williams is like the Justin Timberlake of the UK, but here in the States, he's just another fat guy trying to justify something in order to make out with hot girls.



His popularity's growing alright but so is something else. Check out the shiny long hair!

His Royal Baldness Prince William

Unlike his aunt, Fergie the Duchess of York, Prince William doesn't need Weight Watchers to get thin.



The 25-year-old Prince of Wales visited a London hospital on Wednesday -- and hopefully picked up a Propecia prescription.

Even though William's not King of England yet, we can already see his crown.

Shia LaBeouf's Checkered Past



Shia LaBeouf doesn't piss his money away on fancy cars -- he pisses it away on fancy, old cars.

Sources tell TMZ that Shia LaBeouf recently took a train to San Diego and bought a bright red 1975 Checker Marathon -- the same type of car used as a taxi back in the day. No, it doesn't transform into a giant ass kicking robot.

During his Disney days, Shia was driven around in a Checker by his manager.

Denise -- I'm No Dina Lohan!



Denise Richards thinks that no matter what she does on her reality show with her kids, she's going to get the shaft. And she's probably right.

"If I have my kids on my show, I'm exploiting them," she tells Redbook. Yep. "If I don't, people will think I'm not a hands-on mom." Not so much, actually. But "that's why it's very important to me that the girls are part of it." Also, who really cares about Denise Richards by herself anyway?

Charlie's fiancée Brooke Mueller doesn't think it's a very good idea: "It's exploitative and not good," she told Usmagazine a while back. Denise's show debuts Memorial Day.

Nick Bollea Gets Eight Months Jail for Injury Accident



Nick Bollea was sentenced to eight months in a Florida county jail on Friday after pleading no contest to charges of felony reckless driving, stemming from the Aug. 26, 2007, car crash that left his best friend, John Graziano, in critical condition.

In addition to the jail time, which begins immediately, Bollea, 17, was sentenced to five years probation, during which he will serve 500 hours of community service, not be allowed to drink any alcohol and have his driver's license revoked for three years.

"I would like to apologize to the Grazianos and to my family for the accident. Every single day I think about the accident and about John," Bollea said in court.

He then turned around to look at the Graziano family and said: "I will never ever be able to say I'm sorry enough."

Dressed in a gray suit and light blue shirt and tie, Bollea looked somber as he was taken to meet the court officers. His father, Hulk Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea), stood and watched as uniformed authorities removed his son from the courtroom. Nick did not have a chance to say goodbye to his family before he was taken into custody.

In delivering his sentence, the judge specifically asked that Bollea use his community service to do something positive "that reflects what John did in his service to our country as a Marine."

Felony Conviction to Be Erased
Citing Bollea's age and his lack of any prior criminal record – beyond a series of speeding tickets that the judge deemed as showing a "cavalier" attitude behind the wheel – the jurist decided not to force Bollea into guilty verdict, meaning his "no contest" plea will stand. He also will not have a felony conviction on his record once he turns 18 later this summer.

"I think there is an understanding of what happened, and there is a sense of acceptance of responsibility," the judge said, explaining his decision. "There is nothing that the court can impose that is close to what John has dealt with or will have to deal with as he moves forward."

Attorneys: Hulk Hogan's Son 'Took Responsibility'



Nick Bollea's attorneys, Kevin Hayslett and Sandy Weinberg Jr., issued this statement to PEOPLE following Bollea's no-contest plea to felony reckless driving and the eight-month jail sentence:

"Nick Bollea resolved his criminal charges today by pleading no contest to the charge of reckless driving with injury. Nick took responsibility for his actions and was sentenced to county jail.

"During his probation Nick will continue his community service work with the National Wave and Freedom Group where he raises money for the J&J fund to support the recovery efforts of John Graziano as well as John Paul Fillipi who was also injured in a car accident last year.

"As always Nick will continue to focus on his friend John Graziano's recovery."

DMX Arrested…TWICE This Week!



It's true — rapper DMX was arrested twice this week.

DMX's first arrest happened on Tuesday for wreckless speeding (he was going 114 MPH on a suburban Phoenix, AZ freeway).

And then early Friday morning, he was arrested AGAIN after authorities conducted a pre-dawn raid at his Phoenix home. Law enforcement serving a search warrant at the rapper's home found drugs and fire arms stashed away.

The popo had been investigating DMX for about 7 months — they had received a number of complaints about DMX's mistreatment of animals.

In addition to the fire arms and drugs, authorities found 5 pit bull mix puppies, which were taken from the home to an Arizona jail where they'll be cared for by female inmates.

During the search, officers report that the rapper attempted to barricade himself inside his bedroom. DMX eventually came out with no further resistance.

Time for him to go to jail!!!!!!
