The Bald And The Beautiful?

Ruh roh ... can you guess which anger-prone celebrity supermodel seems to be having a hard time hanging on to her hair?



It's unclear exactly what the cause of this receding hairline is (which is strange cuz hair usually recedes from front to back not from side to side) but I imagine losing one's hair doesn't bode well for future success in modeling. Surely there has to be a hair weave to cover up something like this ... if not, there'll prolly be a lot more ass-whippin' in the future.

In the Spotlight: Amy Adams With Pippy and Sadie!



Well, we've got some pooches that have been to pretty awesome places, but how many of us are lucky enough to have pups come along to a movie set? Ahh, the life of celebripups! I'm sure North is rolling around in envy at home (or sleeping . . . we'll never know). Back on track, soooooo lil Pippy and Sadie got to come along with Amy Adams while she works on her latest film, a Nora Ephron adaptation of Julie Powell's memoir, Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment, where her character attempts to cook every recipe from Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking!

America's Next Top Model: "Viva Italia!"



For all of Tyra's over-the-top gimmicks (and exaggerated facial expressions), I rarely find America's Next Top Model funny in an "Ouch! My stomach hurts from laughing!" kind of way — but last night was an exception. Not that anyone meant to be funny, but those girls shooting their Cover Girl commercials in Rome, and in Italian, was downright hysterical. And don't even get me started on how much I laughed once we saw the judges' reactions to the commercials! Dominique's shoot in particular was so "awesomely sexy drag queen," and with her facial expression that conveyed utter befuddlement by the Italian words, you have pure comic gold.

And then there was Lauren. Holy . . . wow. Her shoot was bad. I knew that walking and talking at the same time for her would be difficult (much less in a different language) but this was as big an ANTM train wreckage as I've ever seen. But as bad as Lauren was, the judges are definitely starting to grow tired of Whitney the pageant queen.

The New Prince Of Late Night



As we've known for a while now, when 2009 comes around, Jay Leno's contract is set to expire and he will be given a "forced retirement". In his place will be Conan O'Brien hosting the Tonight Show on NBC, starting in May '09.

So, who will be replacing O'Brien as host of Late Night??????

Rumor was it might be Jimmy Fallon. And, guess what? Reports are confirming it's true.

Fallon is said to be excited about taking over Conan's position. Duh!

NBC is set to make the formal announcement of Fallon joining the show around mid-May.

How does Carson Daly feel about the snub?????

Hell to the NO-J



The Juice has been squeezed!

A publicist for NBC tells Perez exclusively, "OJ Simpson has never been considered to join the cast for the upcoming season of Celebrity Apprentice on NBC. All rumors are completely false."

Additionally, a source close to the show reveals to us that it was Donald Trump who was hot on the idea.

But, we're told, NBC suits "never considered it."

It probably would have been good for ratings. However, it's even better for DECENCY that Simpson won't be on the show!

No Love For Ass



This has to hurt!

It's a good thing Ashlee Simpson has a new project in the works (a baby) because her music career is in the DUMPS!

Ass' new CD, Bittersweet World, released this Tuesday, is only projected to sell between 50,000 to 55,000 copies in its first week.

She's a sweet girl, but….

That is a HUGE disappointment!

To put things into perspective…..

Simpson's last CD, I Am Me, opened to 220,000 its first week back in 2005.

And, her debut album, Autobiography, did 398,000 copies out the gate.

What does this all say?

The love is lost!

Quote of the Day



"It's hard to have kids in this world. I don't think I could properly educate a child right now. Maybe in the future, but I actually haven't thought about it. For now, I enjoy my dog Jack's company.If I were to have a child, I would want to be married with a stable family environment. Not to say that's how everyone has to do it but it's the way I want to do things. My parents divorced when I was young and I'm not saying it was unstable but it's not ideal either."

Wino Attacks!



Shocking new details have emerged regarding Amy Winehouse's insane night out on the town earlier this week that we told y'all about!

According to reports, Wino ATTACKED 2 people that night.

And that's just the start of it!

- Musician Mustapha el Mounmi claims Ames hit him because he refused to give way to her at a pool table. UK media reports Mustapha has a bruised eye and swollen lip. Mustapha says, “I feel so angry. She smashed my face hard. I could not hit back — she’s a woman.”

- Wino HEADBUTTED a Good Samaritan who helped her hail a cab. Police have reportedly began a probe and sources said Amy will be arrested. If convicted of assault, she could face up to six months’ jail and a $4,000 fine.

Wino more or less confirms she's back to using drugs.

An eyewitness reports that Amy was "off her face, throwing drinks around and turning over tables" at London's Bar Tok. The witness also reveals that Ames screamed, "I am a legend, get these people out. I want to take drugs’.”

Wino was seen kissing a mystery man. Yeah, one that WASN'T her junkie husband, who's still in jail.

Insiders who were at Bar Tok claim that Amy was 'snogging' a man before she left the watering hole for the evening.

Worried friends are hoping that someone steps in to 'save her' before its too late.

We hope so, too. But sometimes hope is not enough.

It's just not gonna happen, is it????

Amy is destined to be the female Pete Doherty.

Prove us wrong, girl!

'The Hills': With friends like these ...



Audrina may not be the sharpest tool, but does she really need a “friend” like Lauren?

Lauren Lauren may get to narrate “The Hills,” but I think I speak for everyone when I say the series has turned on our fair narrator, who has reverted to a sniffling, green-eyed high schooler this season. (In fact, we’re going back to calling her by her high school nickname, LC, from now on.)

So without further ado, an open letter to LC …

LC, It’s time to move on. Heidi has. (And what kind of world are we living in when Heidi is the grown-up one?) We’re over LC vs. Heidi.

How is it fair for you, LC, to befriend Stephanie, sister of your sworn enemy Spencer, who once confronted you in a nightclub in defense of her brother, but Audrina can’t reunite with Heidi? I smell a hypocrite in these hills.

What’s worse, it seems as though everyone else around you is evolving. Heidi is Ms. Female Empowerment. Stephanie, our favorite “Hills” informant, sailed her olive branch over to you while letting Spencer crash in her apartment. Whitney matriculated from Teen Vogue (albeit to more grunt work). Brody got himself a new steady. Spencer’s giving Heidi her space (for the most part). Even Justin -- “It’s time to get my priorities straight” -- Bobby has given up the belching, started showering and has gotten a new ’do.

They all make you rather dull in your 24-hour Heidi hate. Not just dull, but downright bratty. I’m pretty sure I wasn’t the only viewer who threw her pillow (or, ya know, something) at her TV set when you started moaning -- “Will you kidnap me please?” “Oh my god, I need to leave this table immediately,” -- after Heidi squeezed into your table at Goa.

After Audrina caught up with Justin Bobby on a friend-date, your first question to her was “Did he burp in your face?” Not very friend-like. You followed that up with, of course, “Seems like you and Heidi are friendly again.” Yikes.

And now that Heidi has soiled your pad by hanging with Audrina in it for a few moments last week, you want to move out? Into a house? Oh sure, you say you’re bored by your West Hollywood apartment. And yes, you did get that spanking new job as model-herder for People’s Revolution. (But seriously, Mama and Papa Conrad, you're too kind.)

Why is poor Audrina in your cross hairs? Sure, you asked her to move in with you and Lo, but not before you harped all over her “dirty” boyfriends behind her back and told Lo how much fun it would be to continue doing so when you both are her roommates.

Looks like someone other than Justin Bobby needs to get their priorities straight.

--Denise Martin

Rihanna and Maroon 5 Team Up for a Collab



Rihanna and Maroon 5 are teaming up for an ultra-glam remake of “If I Never See Your Face Again”, which will appear on the re-releases of both big-name artists.

“We’re both re-releasing our albums — mine’s out June 17,” Rihanna told MTV News. “This is the only collaboration on my re-release, because I always wanted to work with Maroon 5. They’re one of my favorite bands. When they called me to do this record with them, I was so honored.”

“The song was basically done, but we wanted to try something different, so we had her come in and do bits and pieces,” Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine added. “It came together so quick. The only other collaboration I had done before was with Kanye, and it was the same way. It sounds cheesy, but if the magic is there, if the chemistry is there, you don’t even have to think about it.”

Adam and Rihanna give MTV a behind-the-scenes look at the new video and open up about their experiences.

Madonna Materializes at Tribeca Film Festival



Executive producer/writer Madonna joins director Nathan Rissman at the premiere of their new movie I Am Because We Are during the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival on Thursday in New York City.

I Am Because We Are is a documentary directed by Nathan Rissman and produced by Madonna, about Malawi orphans who have lost their parents or siblings to AIDS.

Clay Aiken Defends His Busy Schedule



Work is keeping Clay Aiken busy – as he pointed out to a reporter in Washington, D.C., who asked him if he was doing enough as a member of the Presidential Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities.

The second-season American Idol runner-up and current Broadway headliner, 29, blamed his busy schedule when a reporter from The Washington Post confronted him. "The last time I had two days off in a row was October," said the crooner. "I was on tour throughout the country through Christmas, then I went straight to Mexico for UNICEF. [Then] I went straight to New York for Spamalot."

Having been appointed to the committee in fall 2006, Aiken added, "If there's something I can do remotely, I would've been happy to do it."

Aiken, whose new album is set for release early next month, is scheduled to remain in Spamalot through May 4.

As for this season's Idol, he finds it lacking. What it needs, he suggests, is some of the "kids next door" sense provided earlier by the likes of Ruben Studdard, Fantasia and himself.

Of the current crop of finalists, he says: "My understanding is that a lot of them are coming up from having contracts already. It's different now."

85,000 Apply to Be Paris Hilton’s New BFF



Other than boyfriend Benji Madden, Paris Hilton can count the number of people who want to get close to her: 85,000.

That, at least, is the number of applicants who desire a costarring role on the socialite’s upcoming MTV reality show, I Wanna Be Paris’ New Best Friend — due to begin production next month.

The Internet is serving as Hilton’s casting agent, with the candidates having posted profiles and videos on the show’s Web site, ParisBFF.com, all in the hope of winning public favor (visitors to the site vote for their favorites) and being one of the 20 finalists who’ll end up competing on the show, the Associated Press reports.

Calling into his radio show Thursday, the heiress told Ryan Seacrest she’s already picked out six lucky contestants to compete on the show.

Since ParisBFF.com went live five weeks ago, it has attracted more than 6 million page views — including those from Hilton herself, as she checks the progress of the process.

Says Paris: “I just want to see the contestants and see how they are. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, just as long as its someone I can trust, someone I can have fun with and just someone who’s going to be able to like handle all the other things that are going to come with being my best friend.”

Jack Wagner: Heather Jokes About Marriage Question



It's been a year since Jack Wagner and Heather Locklear made their public debut as a couple, but don't expect wedding bells in their future anytime soon.

"I brought it up to her the other day," Wagner, 48, told PEOPLE Tuesday at his 2nd Annual Celebrity Golf Classic benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. "She was like, 'I didn't catch the name,' and I was like 'It's Jack.' [She said,] 'Oh right, right, right, I'm working right now, don't bother me.' "

The former Melrose Place costars heated up the tournament last year, but Locklear, 46, had to sit out this round due to work commitments: She's in Hawaii shooting the Lifetime movie Flirting with Forty. And how is her beau tackling the difficulties of a long-distance romance while Locklear is out of town?

"I usually say 'You're right. I'm sorry.' That's it," joked Wagner. "You know, long distance is weird. I don't care what kind of couple you are, whatever your business is, being away is always just a bit uncomfortable, a bit difficult," he said. "But you just exercise patience and tolerance and that's it."

Still, her presence was missed at the benefit. "It's just sad that she's not here this year," said Wagner. But, he added, "I'm just happy that she's happy."

Check out Carmen Electra's Engagement Ring



Third time should be the charm for Carmen Electra – as evidenced by the rockstar-sized ring she was sporting Thursday night.

"It's a black diamond, perfect for us," Electra tells PEOPLE. "Different – it's our style."

Celebrating in Austin with her fiancé, guitarist Rob Patterson, 37, while hosting the Dos Equis party to find a new assistant for the Most Interesting Man in the World, Electra was beaming.

"We are so happy," the model-actress told PEOPLE. "This is a really happy time for both of us."

The couple have been dating less than a year. It will be Electra's third marriage.

"This relationship is different than the others," she says. ""It's so special. We both feel it's an important thing right now, and we want to keep everything special, so we're keeping everything secret for now."

Patterson popped the question over the weekend. "It was my birthday, and we were celebrating in Las Vegas together, so [The engagement] was my birthday present," she said.

"It was just the two of us and it was really romantic, he asked me while we were alone in our hotel room." Did he get down on one knee? "I'm not saying, but it was really romantic," she said.

Some Things Secret
Chimed in the groom-to-be: "We do want to keep some things secret. It's funny, though. A lot of people don't know that we actually met like eight years ago, and then reconnected. Most people think we just met."

Elucidating further, Electra added, "We actually went out on a date like, eight years ago, while he was on tour. And then we sort of just went our own way with everything, then we reconnected about six months ago. We started off as friends and then everything has just gone on from there. It's really beautiful."

Regarding a potential wedding date, she said, "We don't have a date set or anything planned yet. We just want to take our time and really enjoy being together. We could be engaged for a while. … We want to take things slow. It's a really serious commitment for us, and it's beautiful."

Carrie Underwood Breaks Down During Atlanta Show



Carrie Underwood had an emotional moment during her concert with Keith Urban at The Arena At Gwinnett Center outside of Atlanta on Thursday.

During a performance of "Don't Forget to Remember Me," from her album Some Hearts, the country chanteuse broke down into tears in the middle of the song's second chorus. According to an audience member, the singer cried through several lines of the song – then attempted to tackle the chorus but broke down again.

According to a rep for Underwood, the emotional song was inspired by the singer's mother – and leaving home. In it, she sings: "Hey Momma ... tell Me-maw that I miss her/ Yeah, I should give her a call/ And make sure you tell Daddy that I'm still his little girl."

According to her rep, "Carrie just got overwhelmed in the moment with the song 'Don't Forget To Remember Me.' When she reflects on what has happened to her in the past few years since Idol, coupled with the crowds' reaction to that song, she just reacts in performance."

But the night wasn't all dour for the former Idol. According to a concertgoer, Underwood later perked up, telling the crowd she's found the love of her life. His name? Ace – her dog!

Producer Pal: Jake 'Really Loves' Reese



Just how serious is Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon's relationship?

"I just think he loves her," Gyllenhaal's producer pal Ryan Kavanaugh told PEOPLE at the 23rd Annual "Salute to Youth" dinner in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Kavanaugh produced the actor's upcoming film, Brothers, which he calls a "passion project."

"[Jake] has obviously had his fair share of dating," Kavanaugh says of Gyllenhaal's romantic life. "I think eventually you come to a place where you know what you want and seeing what we saw on the set, he was certainly completely devoted to her and really loves her."

Over the course of the film, the producer really got to know Gyllenhaal, 27. "He's awesome," says Kavanaugh. "He's a true artist and a really good guy. We used to workout every morning before going on the set so he became a good friend, too."

Gary Coleman, Wife Have Their Diff’rences



He acts like a child. She always makes him the bad guy. After less than a year of marriage, this is what it’s come down to for Gary Coleman and Shannon Price.

While the 40-year-old Diff’rent Strokes star and his 22-year-old bride of eight months aren’t getting a divorce, they will be airing this and other marital laundry next month on TV’s Divorce Court, the Associated Press reports.

“If he doesn’t get his way, he throws a temper tantrum like a 5-year-old does,” Price complains, according to a transcript of the show obtained by the AP. “He like stomps the floor and yells, ‘Meehhhh,’ and starts throwing stuff around. He bashes his head in the wall, too.”

Coleman counters that “the male is always the bad guy,” but acknowledges he does have his demons.

“It’s not her fault,” he says. “I always feel like I have the weight of the world on my shoulders every day I get up. … There are days I don’t even want to get up.”

Miranda Lambert Cleared in Assault Case



Miranda Lambert has been cleared of accusations of assaulting a fan in a Texas bar, authorities announced Friday.

Earlier this week, a woman identified as Aisha Esbay accused the country singer of pushing her multiple times during an argument in Bootlegger's, in Tyler, after she asked for an autograph.

"After police spent numerous hours researching the case, Esbay's claims were found to be completely false," says a statement from the Smith County Sheriff's Office. All alleged assault charges have been dropped against the singer.

Esbay has been arrested and charged with a misdemeanor offense of filing a false report to a police officer, according to police. She is currently being held at Smith County Jail.

Jennifer Aniston Dines With John Mayer



Jennifer Aniston had a private meal with musician John Mayer in a Miami restaurant that opened Friday afternoon just for them.

"I was happy to accommodate them," says Charles Bell, general manager of Michael's Genuine Food & Drink in the Miami Design District, which opened its doors for the pair early at 3:30 p.m. for the 90-minute meal.

Sitting across from each other in a booth, their heads were close together, and they were engaged in a private conversation, says Bell.

"I can't speculate on what kind of meeting it was but they looked happy and seemed to have a great time," he says.

Aniston, in Miami shooting the movie Marley & Me with Owen Wilson, ordered a chopped chicken salad, while Mayer had a Serrano ham sandwich which "Jen ate some of," says Bell. For dessert, they shared a chocolate-and-peanut-butter layered treat.

Ronson's Other Lindsay Gets Taken Away


Click to watch


E! News has exclusive video of overeager clubgoer Lindsay Burns being escorted out of Chicago nightspot Crimson Lounge and into a waiting police car after she took advantage of Lindsay Lohan's early exit and made a surprise appearance in Samantha Ronson's DJ booth.

The 22-year-old Burns was charged with simple battery for allegedly refusing to go down without a fight when security guards tried to remove her from Ronson's unusually vacant side.

Court Guns for Less of Robert Blake's Money



Robert Blake still has to pay. But not quite as much.

Deeming the number "excessive," a state appellate court has halved the $30 million civil judgment handed down against Blake in 2005, stemming from the 2001shooting death of his wife of six months, Bonny Lee Bakley.

The Baretta star's attorneys have been trying to get the wrongful-death verdict tossed for two years, with Blake maintaining that he's broke and his legal camp alleging jury misconduct, but the Superior Court judge wouldn't budge.

The three-judge appellate panel also refused to order a new trial, but ruled that Bakley's family has to approve the $15 million reduction, or else the case will be sent back to L.A. Superior Court to be retried.

Blake was acquitted March 16, 2005, of murder and other charges stemming from Bakley's death outside an Italian restaurant in Studio City. A civil jury decided against him, however, later that year.

Where's the Beef? Not With Pamela Anderson



Pamela Anderson called me to talk about wieners!

The buxom blonde and PETA activist says she's horrified by rumors spreading on the Internet that she was recently caught—and photographed—eating a meat hotdog at her sons’ baseball game near their home in Malibu.

“It’s like Hotdoggate,” she said with a laugh on the phone from Washington, D.C. (she’s there to attend tomorrow's White House Correspondents Dinner).

“Clearly, it’s a veggie dog. They've been serving veggie dogs and veggie burgers at my kids’ baseball games for years now.”

Anderson was a driving force to get the ballpark to offer meat alternatives. She says, “Lovely John, who runs the hotdog stand there from the Kiwanis Club, has been so wonderful to me and my kids.”

Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Wedding Ring Mystery



Beyoncé and Jay-Z are officially Mr. and Mrs. There's no doubt about it since the filing of their signed marriage license was made public.

So you’d think they’d start wearing wedding rings by now. But no, they’re still ringless.

My spies spotted the newlyweds at last night’s wrap party for Beyoncé’s upcoming flick, Cadillac Records, at New York’s Angels and Kings. (Others at the p.i.n.k. vodka-sponsored bash included Beyoncé’s costars Jeffrey Wright, Adrien Brody and Mos Def.)

And while I'm told the couple was lovey-dovey and holding hands, there wasn’t a bejeweled finger in sight—which seems to be in keeping with a Jay-Z sighting earlier this week at a Kanye West party in L.A., again not wearing a ring.

What gives you two?

Jokes in Love



• A new awards category recognizing "outstanding host for a reality or reality-competition program" will be presented for the first time at the 60th annual Emmys this September. Insiders put the safe money on American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest to walk away with the statuette and Tyra Banks to passive-aggressively sulk about it for months afterward.

• The surviving members of the Grateful Dead have turned over the band's archives to the University of California at Santa Cruz. The school’s initial enthusiasm over the gift was tempered when it was revealed that the so-called archives consisted of a half-eaten veggie burrito and some guy in a filthy poncho, calling himself “Sunbear.”

• NBC announced a deal with the NHL to broadcast professional hockey games through the 2008-09 season. Television viewers responded with a counteroffer to continue watching absolutely anything else.

• James Caan stormed off the set of his latest film, Nailed, after he and director David O. Russell got into a violent argument over the right way for Caan’s character to choke on a cookie. Hey, if they need advice on how to choke, they should have called A-Rod! Am I right?! (This joke not intended for use outside of Best Damn Sports Show Ever.)

• In reaction to worldwide food shortages, two giant U.S. warehouse retail chains are limiting the amount of rice their customers may buy. A coalition of American-Chinese restaurants has declared that this news should not affect their clientele: “Our customers will still be able to not eat and eventually discard the same amount of rice that they always have.”

• After two past rejections, the owner of fast-food chain Arby's restaurants finally succeeded in buying competitor Wendy's for an estimated $2 billion.

Get Wet With Jennifer Aniston—Again!



Water, water everywhere…and so is Jennifer Aniston.

I got a sneak peek for you of the Friends star’s new ad campaign for Smartwater.

I’m told several different versions of the ad will run as two- and four-page spreads in upcoming magazines as well as on billboards nationwide.

“I love the reflection of water," copy on one of the ads reads. "But what I drink is a reflection of me.”

The one-day shoot by photographer Craig McDean took place at a lake in the L.A. area.

This is Aniston’s second campaign with the Glaceau brand of water. Her first ads, shot by Mario Testino, debuted last July in magazines and billboards nationwide.

Three months later, football stud Tom Brady announced he had signed a three-year contract to shill for the water, too.

Suite Life's Brenda Song Cries Foul



What kind of Mickey Mouse operation is this?

Disney Channel star Brenda Song has filed a libel suit against a company claiming it used her photo in a newspaper advertisement touting its escort service without her permission.

The ad, printed in the April 4 and 18 (and possibly other) editions of L.A. Weekly, features a picture of the 20-year-old Song imposed with the name "Layla," a telephone number and the slogan, "Hawaiin [sic] beauty. Come get lei'd."

Per the complaint, escort site Cityvibe.com, parent company Vibe Media Inc. and owner Ali Askari, who has not yet responded to the suit, "illegally and shamelessly" lifted her image to peddle "what is undoubtedly a thinly disguised...enterprise."

"As a role model to millions of young people, I feel I have to take a stand against this company in regard to its exploitation of my image," Song, a regular on the the tween-favorite sitcom The Suite Life of Zack & Cody who will be seen later this year on the cruise-ship-set spinoff The Suite Life on Deck, said in a statement Friday.

"In filing this lawsuit, I hope to prevent this company from doing this again to anyone else."

According to the suit, her attorney found out just what the company does when he called the number listed in the ad and was promised a meeting with the girl in the picture that evening. (For the record, he immediately hung up.)

Song, who also recently appeared in the film College Road Trip with Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symoné is seeking at least $100,000 in damages.

Lohan-Ronson Club Crasher Arrested



For Lindsay Lohan and joined-at-the-hip pal Samantha Ronson, three's not only a crowd—it's an arrest.

A particularly zealous fangirl was arrested at Chicago's Crimson Lounge Thursday night after jumping into Ronson's DJ booth, not only wreaking havoc on the professional spinner's set but refusing to leave the area.

Chi-town police Sgt. Antoinette Ursitti confirmed to E! News that 22-year-old Lindsay Burns was charged with simple battery after reportedly punching, kicking and generally resisting removal from the booth by the club's security guards.

Apparently there's only enough room for one Lindsay in Ronson's life—or at least booth.

"She was only 100 pounds, but she managed to take two of my own security guys down," Crimson's general manager Matthew McCahill told E! News. "I just looked over, and I saw that two of my guys were down. I know she kneed one of them, but I don't know how she got the other one down."

As it is, no star was harmed in the making of the scene.

Lohan, who an eyewitness said had spent several hours hanging out beside her bosom buddy's DJ booth, had already retired to her and Ronson's shared suite at Hotel Sax, where the club is located. It was just after the star departed that Burns made her move, resulting in four security guards scurrying to remove her from the premises.

A clubgoer told E! News that three cop cars eventually turned up to the club and took Burns, who was slapped with a misdemeanor for her refusal to cooperate, away in handcuffs.

It's unclear whether Burns has since been released from custody.

Ever the pro, Ronson finished out her set without further incident and headed back to her room.

The dynamic duo of Lohan and Ronson is expected to hit Sin City soon; Ronson is booked to spin at the Las Vegas Planet Hollywood tonight and tomorrow.

Amanda Bynes Goes Brown



Blondes might have more fun, but not the kind of fun Amanda Bynes is into.

The determined trend-bucker (nary a nip slip or DUI in her background) has dyed her hair a luscious shade of real-girl brown.

No word if the carpet matches the drapes, and knowing Against-the-Tide Amanda as we do, we doubt she’ll give the paparazzi the chance to find out.

Tom Cruises In for Connor's Contracts



It's a very risky business, after all.

It seems the casting of Tom Cruise's son, Connor, in the upcoming Will Smith movie Seven Pounds was even a surprise to costar Rosario Dawson—that is, until a certain Hollywood top gun showed up one day.

The actress tells E! News that while the story about Connor's involvement in the flick just went public a few days ago, she's known for quite some time, and recalls how she first found out.

"I think it's actually really funny. During rehearsals, Tom walks in, and I'm like, OK, I guess they're just having a visit," says Dawson.

"And then his son was there, and he's like, 'No, he's actually playing the younger version of Will, and he was there to sign his contracts. It was hilarious. And Tom was just like, 'Yeah, make sure you read the fine
print.' "

That's one lion looking out for his lamb.

Alleged Uma Stalker: Cops Conned Me!



Uma Thurman's No. 1 fan claims New York's Finest fed him some pulp fiction.

Jack Jordan, a 37-year-old former mental patient accused of stalking the Oscar-nominated actress, has asked a judge to throw out statements he made to cops that will be used as evidence against him. Jordan alleges investigators falsely promised to free him if he admitted his unrequited feelings for the Kill Bill star.

But the judge in the case ruled today that Jordan volunteered the information to the NYPD and that his statements will be admissible at his upcoming trial, as will what prosecutors say are some chilling letters from him to Thurman.

The Maryland native was collared in October outside Thurman's Greenwich Village home and charged with misdemeanor stalking and harassment. Officials say Jordan not only sent emails and love letters to the actress (and her family) over a two-year period but entered her trailer when she was on location shooting a movie in Manhattan.

Taking the stand Thursday during a pretrial hearing, Jordan told the court his interrogators promised they would let him leave if he answered their questions about why he so doggedly pursued Thurman—even though his attorney wasn't present.

"I fulfilled their curiosity about the case...I didn't know I was being deposed," he said.

Afterward, he was taken into custody, read his Miranda rights and booked on the stalking charges.

Detective Edward Yzaguirre of the NYPD tried to downplay Jordan's accusations, testifying that officers made no such guarantees.

The detective said he recalled Jordan blabbing about the first time he fell for the A-lister: How when he glimpsed her on the big screen, their eyes locked, and he felt they were destined to be together.

Jordan's overtures became so increasingly aggressive—at one point he threatened suicide if he saw the 37-year-old star with another man—that his family had him involuntarily committed.

Manhattan State Supreme Court Justice Gregory Carro sided with police and prosecutors and ruled Jordan's comments could be used in the case.

Thurman is slated to testify in the case on Monday, and jury selection is slated to begin later in the week.

But an attorney for Jordan, who is free on $10,000 bond, says he hopes to work out a plea deal to avoid a full-blown trial.

Tim Burton Denies Duping Ex



Parting isn't exactly sweet sorrow for Tim Burton.

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory director has lashed out against ex-paramour Lisa Marie, denying allegations that he tricked her out of promised assets from their now defunct 10-year relationship.

"The suggestion made by [Lisa Marie] that I engaged in any conduct which was calculated to deceive her...is completely false and completely ludicrous," Burton says in a seven-page court declaration filed Thursday.

Burton's former leading lady sued him in 2006 for fraud and breach of fiduciary contract, alleging he cheated her out of an equitable division of their accumulated property when he dumped her for actress Helena Bonham Carter five years earlier.

Lisa Marie claims that the filmmaker agreed to bankroll her for life in exchange for serving as his personal manager and acting in his films.

Her suit seeks to rescind three previous legal settlements between them, accusing Burton of orchestrating a conspiracy theory—getting various friends and counselors, including her own lawyer, to convince her into accepting a smaller payout.

But Burton says bunk. "Allegations that I did, or intended to do, anything illegal, unethical or improper to cause [her] to sign agreements are complete fabrications," he states in his affidavit.

Burton says he went to great lengths to reach an amicable settlement, selling two apartment buildings he owned in New York and borrowing $3.5 million to pay her. He also claims to have forked over $715,000 to the IRS in gift taxes for one of his payments to her.

"My goal was to provide [Lisa Marie] with sufficient resources to permit [her] to take care of herself for the rest of her life, and had nothing whatsoever to do with any legal obligation," his statement says.

Burton's lawyer, Joseph Mannis, tells E! News he wants the complaint thrown out.

"We believe that the lawsuit is frivolous and have filed a motion for summary judgment," says Mannis. "Mr. Burton believes he was very generous in the amount of money he gave her and does not believe he owes her more.

"Mr. Burton also doesn't believe he did anything wrong."

The next hearing in the case is set for July 14.

Ma Spears Should Have "The Talk" With Jamie Lynn



Is Lynne Spears bummed that her 17-year-old daughter is going to be a shotgun bride?

Life & Style magazine says that Lynne spoke exclusively to one of its reporters while en route from L.A. to New Orleans, and that she confided, "I'm a bit disappointed that my youngest daughter got pregnant at such an early age."

Lynne dishing to a tabloid (for free) about such a personal family matter? Sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it? Good thing that bastion of journalism integrity OK! magazine is on the case and dismissing such claims:

OK! says the L&S interview never happened, quoting a spokesperson: "When Lynne Spears is ready to give an interview, I can assure you it will be a true account, without speculation as to whether or not she participated."

Maybe the people Lynne should be talking to are her daughters. Too late to have that birds-and-bees talk? Sure, but a little vehicular safety lesson is definitely in order: Check out this video of Jamie endangering herself and her fetus by driving off without buckling up. Are there no seatbelt laws in Louisiana?

Winehouse, Hubby United in Legal Woes



Blake Fielder-Civil will be cooling his heels in the clink for some time to come. The missus, Amy Winehouse, meanwhile, is looking to avoid the same fate.

While the Grammy winner's hubby was in the midst of 90-minute hearing in his ongoing assault and conspiracy case, Winehouse was voluntarily en route to a London police station, where she was expected to be quizzed on an alleged head-butting incident that took place early Wednesday.

The singer, who may be arrested for her purportedly defensive maneuver, was photographed leaving her house with tears in her eyes.

Her appointment meant she was absent from her hubby's date at Snaresbrook Crown Court.

During the proceedings, the judge ordered Fielder-Civil to remain incarcerated for at least a month longer than expected, likely extending his jail stay past June 9.

He was originally set to be released in May, though Judge David Radford ordered the 25-year-old and his three codefendants to stay put in lockup as "the trial can't be heard within those custody limits."

Fielder-Civil and cohorts will be tried on charges of assault and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice (aka witness tampering), stemming from a pub brawl last year. The proceedings are expected to start June 2 and last up to six weeks, during which time Fielder-Civil will likely remain in jail.

While Winehouse may have been absent from her hubby's hearing, the British tabloids have relished pointing out that a pretty young blonde by the name of Sophie Schandorff was there to cheer on the inmate.

The 21-year-old identified herself to the media as Fielder-Civil's best pal and expressed her self-professed platonic relationship by repeatedly mouthing the words "I love you" to her locked-up mate. Fielder-Civil replied in kind, eliciting a warning from the judge.

With friends like these, who needs wives?

Exclusive! Hilary Duff to Star in New 90210?



Step aside, Shannen Doherty. Hilary Duff just might be the new face of Beverly Hills, 90210.

Sources connected to the series tell me exclusively that producers for the CW's 90210 remake have reached out to Hilary to offer her a starring role in the series.

No word yet on whether she is interested in the role, and at press time, we have not received comment from reps for the CW or Hilary.

According to sources, Hilary's potential character is that of Annie Mills. As I reported last month, Annie is a Beverly Hills High student who is into theater acting, just like her predecessor. But instead of Color Me Badd, she’s listening to emo bands. She yearns to fit in with the alternative crowd and leans a lot on her adopted brother, Dixon, too.

She likes to be on stage, and she's cute as a button...sounds like a perfect match for Hilary, no?

Oprah School Abuse Trial Postponed Again



For the second time this week, a South African court has postponed the alleged abuse trial of Virginia "Tiny" Mokgobo, the former dormitory matron at Oprah Winfrey's Leadership Academy for Girls who has been slapped with a slew of assault and abuse charges stemming from her time at the school.

The case had been scheduled to kick off today, but the 27-year-old will now not go to trial until July 29, with the proceedings penciled to run through Aug. 1.

The trial hit its first snag on Monday, when Mokgobo's attorney requested a weeklong reprieve to give him more time to consult with his client. According to her lawyer, discrepancies over payment of her legal bills prevented them from adequately discussing the case.

Ewan Flying to Angels?



For his next movie, erstwhile big-screen Jedi Ewan McGregor may be beholden to a different Force.

The Scottish thesp is in talks to play a powerful papal aide who helps Tom Hanks in Angels & Demons, the big-screen prequel to 2006's box-office hit, The Da Vinci Code. Ron Howard will once again direct an adaptation of a Dan Brown bestseller.

This time around, Harvard puzzlemaster Robert Langdon (Hanks) tries to thwart a plot by the ancient, secretive society known as the Illuminati to blow up the Vatican.

McGregor would be joining a cast that also includes Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer (Munich), who was recently hired for the part of Vittoria Vetra, the adopted daughter of a scientist whose murder sets the thriller in motion.

The presumptive blockbuster will begin shooting later this year in time for a May 2009 release.

Totally New Releases: Babies, Stoners, Random Sex!



This is it. Last weekend before the summer movie season hits, so dig the vajayjay jokes, cannabis cracks and Shannon Elizabeth poker flicks movies while they last. Here's what's opening, and what we thought. Click for full reviews.

Baby Mama: Straight-shooter Tina Fey can't conceive, so she hires nasty slacker Amy Poehler to cook her fetus. And it works! Sharp satire, packed with girlcentric (for a change) gross-out gags. A-

Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay: Half-baked (get it!) cult sequel, with a Neil Patrick Harris cameo, social commentary and a bag of Jamaican High Grade. Funnier the first time. C+

Deception: Basically Skinemax with high production values. And Hugh Jackman and Ewan McGregor. And a high-rollin' anonymous sex club, murder and twists you'll totally see coming. C

Deal: This was better when it was called The Color of Money, when it was about pool instead of poker, when it was directed by Martin Scorsese and, oh, when it didn't star Burt Reynolds and suck. D-

Jennifer Garner Teams Up With Ricky Gervais



Jennifer Garner chats with costar/director Ricky Gervais as she walks back to her trailer after shooting a scene for their new movie, This Side of the Truth, on Friday in Boston, Mass.

Here are some more quotes from her Self interview:

On getting wrinkles on her face: What do you mean? That hasn’t happened yet! No, every now and then I have a moment when I look in the mirror and go ‘Yep, I’m not 22′. Like after a night when I haven’t slept, for example. You don’t think it’s going to happen, and then you hit 30! I’m not freaked out by it, but, you know, if a lotion says age-reverse, I’m more likely to use it now than ever before. Might as well reverse.

On where to vacation over the summer: I love Hawaii. We don’t go somewhere every summer, but last year we had a long vacation in Kauai. Your whole energy just downshifts to a much more mellow place there. I stay as far from the phone and Blackberry as possible. It’s good to force yourself to do that. Whenever your family takes time out to be all together, it kind of has a golden glow when you look back on it. On those sailing vacations when I was a kid, it was hot and there was no wind and we were just sitting in the middle of the bay. But even those things — in retrospect, you think, Oh, we were all together. How beautiful.

Rumer Willis Has Fire From Within



Rumer Willis promotes her new horror film, From Within, at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival on Friday in New York City.

Papa Bruce Willis (and and supermodel girlfriend Emma Heming) came out to support his eldest daughter.

Rumer described a typical slasher film as “all blood and gore, very little plot line. Usually you don’t have a chance to connect with the characters, but the great thing about this movie is that there’s a plot and you actually want the characters to survive.”

Ms. Willis also described her character, Natalie: “I think everyone feels ‘I’m misunderstood, nobody understands what I’m going through’ and I think there’s a universal quality that Natalie has, never feeling totally like you fit in.”

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Body is a Wonderland



Joseph Gordon-Levitt gave some very interesting answers in his latest interview with UK’s bimonthly magazine, Wonderland.

Do you Google yourself? Yes. It was a triumphant day for me about a year ago when my website hitrecord.org came up first on the Google page under my name. I make short films and put them on there. Now I think it’s number four.

So although you’re playing Cobra Commander in the G.I. Joe movie for Paramount, you were never allowed to play with G.I. Joe dolls as a kid? That’s right. No toys that had guns. But I got to know a lot of soldiers through Stop-Loss and I learnt what it means to be one. No matter what you feel about America’s occupation of Iraq, it’s important to distinguish that, in a way, what those soldiers do is the bravest thing a human being can do: they put their lives on the line for each other. I’ve never risked my life for anything.

What is your drug of choice? I guess marijuana. I’ve had a select set of really beautiful, powerful, psychedelic experiences on certain drugs but I never got into just doing it at a party: ‘Oh let’s get f—ed up and drop acid’. That’s so retarded and disrespectful to your body and the drug itself. Mushrooms, acid and ecstasy can offer you a new perspective. They can also offer you nothing.
