A woman on MySpace feels so strongly that Sanjaya Malakar does not belong on "American Idol" -- that she is starving herself until he is voted off the show!

Identifying herself only as "J," she is now four days into a hunger strike, saying, "I have no problems with Sanjaya personally, he seems like a very personable and charming young man. However, he does NOT belong on 'American Idol.'" Preach it, sister!

After Tuesday night's episode, "J" wrote, "Sanjaya did come out of his shell a bit tonight like the judges said. However, his voice was horrific. He screamed through the entire song and jumped around like a manic person. Nice kid, nice kid, but not for 'American Idol.'"

"J" says she is definitely hungry now, but is drinking a lot of fluids. She also says she is "having slight hallucinations." It's almost like watching him without fasting.

Few actresses can disappear into a character so completely, that you forget who they are -- while some actresses can disappear behind a parking meter, so that you can't see who they are.

Thus marks a trip to the beauty salon for hooded, high-heeled, peroxided mega-twin, Mary-Kate Olsen, photographed yesterday while feeding ... a meter. MK dipped into Neil George Salon for what appears to be a tweak on her blinding bleach job, emerging from the shop with a more golden hue to her blinding 'do.

Stylish Miss Olsen knows that nothing sets off a hair-whitening like a pair of white sunglasses!

The man of many personalities, Sacha Baron Cohen, leaving the Egyptian Theatre on Tuesday night in a not so "sexy time" atmosphere

Nude Photo

TMZ spotted the man of many personalities, Sacha Baron Cohen, leaving the Egyptian Theatre on Tuesday night in a not so "sexy time" atmosphere. Cohen and his future wife, Aussie hottie Isla Fisher, were swarmed by fans and paparazzi as they stopped to sign a autographs before diving into their waiting SUV. "Is nice."

Also seen in L.A.: "Ghostbusters" star Harold Ramis, "Sin City" beauty Devon Aoki, and "The Hills Have Eyes 2" guapo Jacob Vargas got his taste of rejection from dwindling Hollywood hotspot Hyde.

In NYC, TMZ stopped by the "Reign Over Me" after-party where we ran into funnyman Adam Sandler, Don Cheadle, Tim Robbins and comedian Chris Rock.

All this and much more in this coast to coast edition of Star Catcher!

The remains of the King of Pop were spotted yesterday at Harrods department store in London. The former singer was on one of his mega-shopping sprees ... although no word on how he intends to pay for it.

The usually camera-shy creature was all smiles as he showed off a meticulously combed, neo-Liza hairdo, and sporting the same pair of RayBans he's been wearing since the 80s.

After having dinner at Koi on Tuesday, Jurassic supermodel Janice Dickinson proved to be anything but coy, and smeared paps with an X-rated full-frontal horror show.

The 52-year-old mother of two flashed her used goods and revealed a smorgasbord of fabric and flesh, which combined to form an anatomical hodgepodge of nasty.

Unless she was shot with a paintball, Janice may want to get herself checked by a doctor ... perhaps Dr. Perper.

And you thought he was only popular in Germany?

The Hoff was rockin' the dance floor at PURE nightclub at Caesars Palace when he was swarmed by a throng of fans trying to get their photo taken with the "Baywatch" star. As seen in the clip, Hasselhoff does not employ the "white man's overbite" when he dances.

Hoff has a role in the stage musical "The Producers," currently running at Paris Las Vegas. Dave NavarroHe took a break to attend the Versace Fashion Show, hosted by rocker Dave Navarro, who introduced the show by saying, "Las Vegas, you got Versace, you got PURE nightclub, you got hot chicks -- frankly, I dont know where else I'd rather be." He left out Hasselhoff.

Even on her birthday, Rosie can't get away from Donald Trump.

Thanks to Joy Behar, her "View" cohort, who gave Rosie a vehicular manifestation of Rosie's favorite combatant, Donald "Dump Truck" Trump as a gift for O'Donnell's 45th birthday on today's show. Touching, really.

Even though they've sworn-off talking about The Barking Combover ever again (at least six times) on "The View," there he was again! It just never gets old ... unlike Rosie, who's 45 today.

Nude Photo

Normally, when celebs hit popular shopping districts like Robertson Blvd. or Melrose Ave., they have to worry about being hounded by photographers and fans. Not Jeremy Piven.

The Emmy-winner hit up the trendy Thesis boutique on Melrose the other day, and without the aide of a wig, hat or glasses -- went entirely unnoticed. Piven picked up a $600 brown leather jacket by Rare, and was overheard saying he would definitely be back for more. When a store employee asked him if he would like to be added to their mailing list, Jeremy initially agreed. The HBO star then retracted and revealed that he shouldn't give out his address because he "has a lot of stalkers." Really?!

A source shopping alongside Jeremy tells TMZ that, once again, Piven wasn't recognized and was asked by the genuinely concerned shopkeeper why he gets stalked so much. Poor Piven then had to rattle off his credits to identify himself, boasting about his work on "Entourage" and "Smokin' Aces."

No word on if they hugged it out -- that would have required the salesperson to have watched an episode of "Entourage." Being a salesperson is the second hardest job in the world.

Howard K. Stern might have to start spending Anna Nicole Smith's money a lot sooner than he thought

Nude Photo

Howard K. Stern might have to start spending Anna Nicole Smith's money a lot sooner than he thought.

A corporation started by Anna Nicole Smith and handled by Howard K. Stern -- owes more than $30,000 in back taxes and has been officially suspended by the Franchise Tax Board from doing business.

According to records from the California Secretary of State, Hot Smoochie Lips Inc. never filed a tax return with the State of California in 2004, and owes a total of $28,945 in corporate taxes! Howard K. Stern is listed as the company's "registered agent." Anna was listed as the president. But that's not all ...

The Los Angeles County Tax Collecter claims that Hot Smoochie Lips Inc. never forked over $8,920.54 in property taxes they owe on a Studio City home where Anna used to live.

On March 1, 2007, Hot Smoochie Lips, Inc. was put into suspended status by the FTB, which means they can't make any legal, financial or business transactions. It is unclear if any of Anna's other belongings, including cars, boats and other property are actually registered to Hot Smoochie Lips, Inc.

Howard K. Stern was named in Anna's will as the executor of her estate, which means that he may ultimately be the person responsible for cutting a check for all of Anna's debts.

Internet gambling sites are now taking wagers on who Britney Spears' next baby daddy will be

Nude Photo

Internet gambling sites are now taking wagers on who Britney Spears' next baby daddy will be. Odds show that her rebound hunk, Issac Cohen, is a sure bet ... if he's still around.

Estranged husband Kevin Federline comes in a close second, but it is the other suitors who make for an interesting wager. Bodog.com is giving Playboy grandpa Hugh Hefner the same shot as oily heir Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis, and even popularity-challenged President George W. Bush has a shot at it.

If you really want to make some dough, you might want to place your bet with the longshots; it's a toss-up between chatty Mel Gibson ... and pink-haired blogger Perez Hilton.

Queen Latifah emerged from the Maui surf yesterday, and vented her frustrations with paparazzi by flashing some sort of maritime distress signal.

DNA samples of Dannielynn and Larry Birkhead are in the bag, according to MSNBC's Rita Cosby.

Nude Photo

DNA samples of Dannielynn and Larry Birkhead are in the bag, according to MSNBC's Rita Cosby.

Cosby broke the story and TMZ has confirmed that Birkhead and baby were both at a Bahamas doctor's office at 9 this morning and had samples taken. Howard K. Stern's DNA was not taken because by law there is a presumption that he's the father since he's listed as such on the birth certificate.

We're told Birkhead saw Dannielynn in the doctor's office.

If Birkhead's DNA matches Dannielynn's, he can then challenge Stern to pony up DNA and fight for custody.

We're told the samples will be sent to a DNA lab in Columbus, Ohio and will be sent back to the Bahamas in four days.

Letter sent by PETA to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas

Nude Photo

There's a letter sent by PETA to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, warning them not to use live monkeys in the upcoming revival of "Beacher's Madhouse," featuring ousted Miss Nevada Katie Rees.

PETA claims they have been "inundated with phone calls and e-mails from our members who were upset," concerning primates that will be used in the show, as featured in advertisements. PETA claims monkeys in Vegas would suffer from "being displayed in a crowded nightclub with deafeningly loud music, and intoxicated patrons will cause these monkeys trauma, stress, and unnecessary discomfort." Kinda like K-Fed does!

Another reason cited by PETA: "They harbor many diseases that are transmissible to humans, including bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Primates who have been forced to live in artificial, substandard conditions frequently attack humans."

"Madhouse" creator Jeff Beacher tells TMZ, "I love all animals including the ones I hire -- I hire all of them through trained professional animal handlers, who also love animals and treat them properly and with care. I am appalled and insulted that they would accuse me of such accusations." PETA had no problem with the use of Katie Rees.

Naomi Campbell strutted out of her third day of toilet-scrubbing and locker-wiping with a noticeable spring in her step

Nude Photo

Naomi Campbell strutted out of her third day of toilet-scrubbing and locker-wiping with a noticeable spring in her step. Was it the first day of spring? Or maybe ... just maybe ... that she's made a new pal at work?

The supermodel-turned-custodial-miracle is now officially over the hump in her five-day community service sentence. Evidently too pooped after a day in the women's locker room at the Sanitation Department, she had a male functionary lug her work clothes out to the car, and was accompanied by a comrade-in-custodial-arts who looked, well, very happy to be with Naomi.

Meanwhile, the first reviews of Naomi's handiwork have emerged. Deputy Sanitation Chief Albert Durrell deemed her work "satisfactory." She has two more days to get the inside track on that employee-of-the-week award.

Whatever you do, don't call Justin Timberlake the new King of Pop

Nude Photo

Whatever you do, don't call Justin Timberlake the new King of Pop!

The 26-year-old former *NSYNC frontman tells Details magazine that on his first solo album, "I tried so hard to be an R&B artist and it was the pop album of the year, and I was like, 'F*ck. That's the last thing I wanted.'" Be careful what you wish for, JT.

Justin also has a bone to pick with the Recording Academy over the debacle that was this year's My Grammy Moment, which featured JT singing with contest winner Robyn Troup. Timberlake agreed to the performance before the concept was fully developed. When he realized it was turning into a pathetic "American Idol" knock-off, Justin wanted out. Timberlake says he wound up keeping his word, "Because I'm the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to." Save, of course, Cameron Diaz.

Read the rest of Justin's gripes in the April issue of Details or at Details.com.

Vivica A. Fox has been busted for DUI.

Vivica A. Fox has been busted for DUI.

It happened last night on the 101 Freeway in the San Fernando Valley at 10:57 PM. We're told Fox passed a marked black and white while going approximately 80 mph. Sources say the officers went after the 2007 Cadillac Escalade she was driving.

The officers administered a field sobriety test -- which Fox was unable to perform. The former "Dancing With the Stars" contestant was then placed under arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence.

Fox was taken to Van Nuys jail where she submitted to two breathalyzer tests. CHP spokesman Leland Tang told TMZ, "It was definitely over the .08 legal limit."

Fox was cited and released on her own recognizance and ordered to appear in court.

It only took three days, but Naomi Campbell is at the center of another controversy involving a cell phone -- this time, not her own.

It only took three days, but Naomi Campbell is at the center of another controversy involving a cell phone -- this time, not her own.

TMZ has learned that an employee in the Department of Sanitation was reprimanded -- and faced possible suspension -- for trying to take a picture of the supermodel with a cell phone camera while she was working inside. Sanitation Department staff, we're told, have been asked not to interact with Campbell, and workers exiting the building have been tight-lipped about Campbell's stint scrubbing their locker room. A Sanitation rep did not respond to a request for comment.

Meanwhile, Naomi arrived for her penultimate day of custodial wizardry in yet another fetching ensemble -- including some color, finally. She sauntered past photogs in a fur jacket, purple blouse, wide-legged trousers, and burgundy boots.

It could be an interesting day for Campbell, as she's been earmarked for locker-room duty -- the men's locker room, that is.

Justin Timberlake made a late-night stop to see his 'N Sync pal Lance Bass -- and possibly to meet the new man who's been out and about with Bass this

Nude Photo

Justin Timberlake made a late-night stop to see his 'N Sync pal Lance Bass -- and possibly to meet the new man who's been out and about with Bass this week.

Bass and his as-yet-unidentified Reichen-alike pal were rocking Nylon Magazine's 8th Anniversary party at the Hotel Gansevoort in New York's Meatpacking (your joke here) District, along with JT's fellow Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera, Eve, Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Amber Tamblyn, and Joss Stone, among others.

But late into the Manhattan night, after the celebrity flotsam had floated up to the party, Justin showed to pay his respects -- and dashed not long afterward.

K-Fed Ain't Getting What You Think

Nude Photo

News reports are circulating that Kevin Federline will score $19 million in his divorce with Britney. Hardy har har.

TMZ knows the real deal -- and Kevin isn't getting anywhere near 19. The real story -- put a decimal point between the 1 and the 9 and then reduce it significantly.

As for why K-Fed isn't in a position to bargain -- Britney's disso-queen lawyer, Laura Wasser, drafted an airtight prenup before the marriage. Kevin will end up pocketing around a mil.

The divorce is winding its way to a quick end. Britney and Kevin are getting along, and they have agreed in principle to a custody arrangement. As TMZ first reported, there will be a 50/50 custody split for now, but in the long run , Britney will get primary custody.

As for how Britney is doing, we're told she has had an utter personality change since going into rehab. She has become "nice as well as reasonable," according to a source who has contact with her.

Winona Ryder's Girls Interrupted

The gorgeous Winona Ryder was snapped on the set of her next flick, "The Last Word." She'll also be seen in the upcoming "Sex and Death 101."

Unlike many of her peers, the actress has quite a pair ... of films coming up, and we don't want to ... knock hers. She'll be co-starring with Ray Romano, one of America's favorite boobs.

TMZ just wanted to keep you abreast of the work of this talented star.

Felicity Shows for Ryan's Show -- in PJs

Nude Photo

Felicity Huffman's got a look that's made for radio.

The desperate housewife sleepwalked her way over to Ryan Seacrest's radio show this morning -- in her bedclothes! Only problem was, her interview with Ryan was scheduled for tomorrow, not today. Seacrest gamely let her into the studio, where she called herself "a loser," blaming her casual getup on a late work night, and jokingly, on an I.Q. roughly equal to "room temperature."

At least she was kind enough to roll her pajama pants, explaining that the dog had peed on them a little bit.

Lohan's Auto Motive

Nude Photo

Paparazzi may be going wild for Lindsay Lohan -- but the rehabbed sometimes-redhead seems to love it ... until they mess with her ride!

La Lohan was filmed yesterday while leaving lunch at The Ivy, where she was engulfed by photogs. After hopping into her car, Linds blasted Nelly Furtado's "Give It to Me" to drown out all the questions about AA and fellow rehabbed starlet Britney Spears. Though she smiled the whole time, she then snapped -- "Guys, don't hit my car, please!"

Also snacking at The Ivy were back-on-the-tracks trainwreck Tara Reid, and Mexican singer Paulina Rubio. TMZ also caught up with proud papa Dustin Hoffman, "Napoleon Dynamite" star Efren Ramirez with his twin and Dominique Swain, plus Nick Cannon with his Victoria's Secret model girlfriend, Selita Ebanks.

Kim's First Time ... Caught On Tape!

Nude Photo

Kim Kardashian has a sex tape floating around, but when it comes to walking the runway, she claims to be a virgin.

TMZ was there as Paris Hilton's protrustive BFF thrust her way down the catwalk at Christian Audigier's Sexpensive show last night -- and damn, Kim knows how to strut it -- something fierce!

As Kardashian worked it on the runway, ex-boyfriend Nick Cannon was spinning in the DJ booth, proving that the couple who've played together can still work together, and work she did! Also at the show were tatty and hatted Dennis Rodman, titanic oil heir Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis, and ex-Halle Berry hubby Eric Benet.

The Sanjaya Diet

Nude Photo

The MySpacer who vowed to starve herself until Sanjaya Malakar was tossed off "American Idol" has another week of starvation to look forward to.

The woman, who idenitifies herself only as "J," was not pleased that Stephanie Edwards got the boot on last night's show, leaving Sanjaya to continue "singing" at least through next week. "I'm really starting to feel sorry for Sanjaya," wrote the hungry blogger last night. "People keep voting him through because they think it's funny ... and I think it's to the point where this kid is starting to believe his own hype." Yeah, that self-confidence thing sucks.

So it's another week of water and ... well, water for "J." If Sanjaya isn't voted off soon, his singing may literally kill someone.

Hide and Wake

Nude Photo

The snooze button is both your best friend and worst enemy in the morning. Sure, an extra seven minutes of sleep is great, but when you snooze your way to being late for work -- that's a problem.

That's where "Clocky" comes in. The alarm clock literally hops off your bedside table and rolls away when when you press the snooze button. Clocky then looks for a place to hide -- before the alarm goes off again. If a game of hide-and-seek doesn't wake you up, you might want to get a night job ... or married.

Clocky is available in three colors (almond white, aqua and mint), and the wheels can be disabled on the weekend. Start working on other excuses for lateness!

Arizona Jail Goes Sing Sing Over "Idol"

Nude Photo

Not only are they behind bars, they're ready to sing in one! What a con test!

Maricopa County Sheriffs have developed their own version of "American Idol," called "Inmate Idle," in which 15 jailbirds battle for lockdown supremacy, not with homemade shivs, but with their singing! According to reps from the Sheriff's Office, the competition is an attempt to boost morale and give inmates a positive way to spend their jail time.

The vote for the six finalists will be held tonight, with Alice Cooper set to judge tomorrow night's live show. It's rumored that basketball legend Charles Barkley is interested in sitting at the judge's table as well.

The Sheriff who greenlit the event, Joe Arpaio, is notorious for his "unique" treatment of prisoners -- his inmates wear pink jumpsuits and live in tents in the middle of the Arizona desert. No need to say that anyone's singing could get them arrested.

Kelly Osbourne Supports Amy Winehouse

Nude Photo

The rehabbed chunkaliciousness that is Kelly Osbourne and her hell-no-I-won't-go-to-rehab singer pal, Amy Winehouse, spilled out of a Hollywood club together last night.

The duo made a most unlikely pair, as the stickish Winehouse practically fell out of Teddy's nightclub at the Roosevelt Hotel while holding onto brickhouse bud Kelly for support, who nimbly coaxed the stumbly Amy into a taxi. Winehouse fled the stage of a recent London gig in mid-performance ... to go backstage and spew. Another fine mess!

When you're feeling wobbly, it's nice to have a strong friend you can lean on.

La Lohan Looks to La Lord

Nude Photo

If God is Lindsay Lohan's co-pilot, perhaps it's time for some heavenly rehab.

The driving-challenged actress left The Ivy yesterday with a few friends. When she got into her black Mercedes convertible, photogs snapped this shot of Lilo with a book sitting on her center console, titled, "God's Promises for Your Every Need."

Amazon.com describes the book by saying, "No matter what your situation, God has a promise for you!" Maybe His promise to Lindsay should be a head's up next time she's about to run over a cameraman. A little help, big guy!

Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson -- B-Ball Gods or Goons?

Nude Photo

Can white men jump ... or not? That's the debate raging in the TMZ newsroom after we got word from an insider on the set of Will Ferrell and Woody Harrelson's new flick, "Semi-Pro," that both actors are garbage on the basketball court.

According to our source, the pair were a couple of ball-bumbling baboons yesterday. In fact, our guy said that for the majority of the 15-hour day, the guys could barely get a shot near the rim.

This has, however, sparked a rumble here in the office. According to Daniel, a TMZ staffer who has actually played with Ferrell before, "Will definitely has game". Now, since Daniel has yet to reveal the quality of his own athletic talent, it's possible that Will could suck and yet be considered an all-star compared to our guy. (Ed.'s note: I'm good, dammit! -- Daniel)

As far as Woody goes, he played the ringer in the 1992 film "White Men Can't Jump," and appeared to be a b-ball expert in the film. In fact, a friend of TMZ wrote in to say Woody is definitely a baller. Guess anyone can have an off day.

James Denton: "Desperate" Baller

Nude Photo

Hunky TV plumber James Denton no longer has to unclog Teri Hatcher's corroded, rusty pipes in order to get to third base!

The "Desperate Housewives" he-man just bought independent minor league baseball team, the Fullerton Flyers. Denton, along with members of an investment group, obtained the Orange County team for a "seven-figure purchase price," an amount almost equal to the cost of Nicollette Sheridan's makeup.

One thing's for sure ... unlike other "Housewives" stars, we definitely know what team Denton plays on!

"Lost" Diary -- The Man from Tallahassee

Nude Photo

Hey, it's Daniel from TMZ here, back with another edition of the "Lost" Diary.

This week's comments were fun to read since someone tossed out the theory that Jack and Claire's dad, Christian, could be "him" or Jacob. There are two things that support this (and a dozen probably don't). First, he is involved in the flashbacks of Jack, Claire, Sawyer and Ana Lucia. That's a lot of coincidences there. Second, when Jack found his dad's coffin among the plane wreckage, it was empty. So I'm not saying ... I'm just saying.

For all you "Lost" Diary newbies, here's how it goes. I gather with a group of friends watching "Lost," writing what happens on the show as it happens, and throwing in my two cents along the way. This week I am with the usual crew of Ari, Lauren, April and Matt. Lauren is giddy to the point where she might pass out. Let's roll:

Britney Goes on the Attack

Nude Photo

Britney won over the Brits today, after a British court prohibited media outlets from publishing details of her recent rehab.

The injunction stops "person or persons...who has/have been leaking information about Ms. Spears' time in a rehabilitation clinic from further disclosures invading her privacy," according to Spears' London law firm.

One of the lawyers for the firm told TMZ there is someone who is trying to sell a story to English publications, and the injunction is targeted to stop that from happening.

The injunction does not specify who is pitching the story, but it appears it's someone in a position to know about Spears' stay at the Promises rehab facility in Malibu.

Cause of Death In Anna Nicole Case Imminent

Nude Photo

Dr. Joshua Perper has just announced he will hold a news conference on Monday at 10:30 AM to reveal what killed Anna Nicole Smith.

TMZ has just spoken with Gary Bitner, the spokesperson for the Seminole Police Department. Bitner said the findings at Monday's news conference "are going to be a significant announcement."

Bitner also told TMZ that the Seminole Police, the State Attorney and the Medical Examiner have been closely working together, and "it continues to be a non-criminal, unexplained death investigation."

Bitner added Perper's findings "are going to provide some resolution" in the death of Anna Nicole.

Foxy Brown a Wanted Woman!!!

Nude Photo

TMZ has learned there's a warrant out for the arrest of Foxy Brown.

Brown failed to appear in Broward County court today on battery charges -- the result of a big hoo-hah at a Florida beauty supply shop. Brown was applying beauty products in the store's bathroom when the owner tried to close up shop. Brown allegedly threw a tantrum and threw hair glue at the owner, then allegedly spat on him.

After it became apparent that Brown was not going to appear, Judge Lazurus issued a bench warrant for her arrest.

Lily Tomlin Speaks on "I Heart F**kabees" Meltdown

Nude Photo

Lily Tomlin is now joking about her now infamous four-letter-word-filled exchange with director David O. Russell on the set of "I Heart Huckabees." Video of the supercharged meltdown has been making the viral rounds on YouTube. At least it isn't a sex tape!

Tomlin told the Miami New Times, "I've never seen it. Is that when I'm sitting in the seat and really going nuts? Oh my God, I'm gonna die when I see that."

Tomlin is referring to a 2004 video in which she, Dustin Hoffman and a few other cast members are waiting in a car for a scene. Between takes, Tomlin goes ballistic on Russell. "Leave me the f**k alone!" she screams at one point. "Do you know what the f**k is going on, period? F**k you! F**k you motherf**ker!" Not very ladylike.

In another scene, Russell fires back, launching into a furious tirade directed at Tomlin, in which he kicks and even knocks over several props.

"I love David," Tomlin says. "There was a lot of pressure in making the movie -- even the way it came out, you could see it was a very free-associative, crazy movie, and David was under a tremendous amount of pressure. And he's a very free-form kind of guy anyway."

Kid Rock Files Suit Against Assault Accuser

Nude Photo

Kid Rock has struck back against a woman who claimed he threw her into a snowbank -- with a lawsuit.


TMZ obtained the lawsuit filed by Rock's attorneys against Kelly Ann Kozlowski, the woman who last week accused Kid of assaulting her. The musician is seeking undisclosed monetary damages for invasion of privacy, defamation, and for trespassing the Rock residence.

In a police report, Kozlowski had claimed that Kid (whose real name is Robert Ritchie) grabbed her by the neck and threw her into a snowbank, charges that Rock denied -- and that were ultimately unsubstantiated. According to the Rock lawsuit, after meeting the rap-rocker at a local bar, Kozlowski and her boyfriend tagged along to listen to some tracks Rock had recently recorded, but "began placing drinks on [Rock's] recording equipment and was otherwise acting improperly."

This inappropriate behavior got Kozlowski kicked out of Chateau Kid, but not before she threatened to "sue him, or words to that effect."

Is Naomi Having a Hot Time Doing Hard Time?

Nude Photo

Naomi Campbell is almost -- so close -- to being done with her community service, and it looks like there might be sparks -- not BlackBerrys -- flying.

For the second day in a row, Campbell emerged from a day of scrubbing and scouring, again with a strapping young man -- this one identified as her fellow community servant, who did the gentlemanly thing by carrying the supermodel's bag. Naomi apparently returned the favor, giving him a ride in her Escalade -- to where, we're not certain.

A Sanitation department deputy chief said that the pair were the only two community-service-doers in the entire facility. Tomorrow's their last day together -- and, fear not, TMZ will be there to chronicle Naomi's farewell to toilets.

Anna's Diaries Sell for More Than Half a Mil

Nude Photo

Attention Howard K. Stern: Anna Nicole Smith's most private possessions are a frickin' gold mine.

TMZ has learned that in an eBay auction, a businessman from Hamburg, Germany just dropped $512,500 on two handwritten diaries, penned by Anna Nicole between 1992 and 1994.

According to the seller, Thomas Riccio of Universal Rarities, the winner is "a huge fan" of the former Playboy Playmate, but wishes to remain anonymous. The German outbid fans from all over the world, including the United States, England and even the Bahamas.

Simon Is Not Nigel's Bitch

Nude Photo

Simon Cowell does not get his best lines from Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe.

Star magazine reported in its current issue that Lythgoe "watches the rehearsals and writes notes on who Simon should make snarky remarks about."

TMZ spoke with Nigel today, who says it's a bunch of baloney. "I don't make notes," Lythgoe says, adding, "Simon keeps to himself in his trailer before the show with a feed, so he can listen to the music."

Lythgoe also told TMZ that none of the banter between Ryan and Simon is scripted -- "If I would have written any of that it would have been a lot funnier, to be frank." Lythgoe also said: "I wouldn't have kept this gay angst going for so long. They would have both come out by now in my story."

It Ain't Finger-Lickin' Good

Nude Photo

TMZ has learned Jennifer Hudson was drop-kicked by Starbucks after her agent made some crazy demands over a performance -- but Jennifer could be the victim.

Sources say Hudson was slated to perform yesterday at the Starbucks annual shareholders meeting in Seattle. But then the demands started. Among them -- five town cars for herself, hair and makeup artists, security and her assistant. But wait, there's more. Humidifiers were part of the backstage demands.

But the final straw came when Hudson's William Morris agent notified Starbucks: Hudson would need baked CHICKEN WINGS at 10:00 AM.

We're told at that point, Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz had enough and pulled the plug because he didn't like the way the agent was dealing with his people.

But we've learned Hudson -- who has taken heat recently -- had no idea that these demands were being made. We're told her agent put together a wish list on her own, and it was sent over to Starbucks with Hudson in the dark.

The Los Angeles City Attorney has just filed criminal charges against a T.S.A. employee at Los Angeles International Airport, alleging that he took a high-priced watch out of Paris Hilton's luggage.

It happened last year with a baggage screener at British Airways. The employee allegedly took a watch worth several thousand dollars out of one of Paris' carry-on bags.

In addition to that employee, the City Attorney is filing charges against seven other T.S.A. employees, alleging they did similar things to other passengers.

No indication on whether Paris will testify.

I recently saw a test screening of Blood Diamond. This movie was simply amazing. Great acting, great story, great action. Leonardo DiCaprio is fantastic as Danny Archer. He has truly become one on the great actors of our generation. He should get nominated for Best Male Performance, he was that good. His performance in The Departed is just as good. It would be a sin if he is not nominated for either movie. I love Blood Diamond. Its a fantastic movie that definitely is a must see. Its great story telling carried by great acting. There should definitely be some Oscar Nominations. DiCaprio perfects another accent. He is really consistent throughout the film. Djimon Housou also gives a Oscar worth performance playing Solomon Vandy.

The Givenchy little black dress that Audrey Hepburn so memorably wore in Breakfast at Tiffany’s — aka THE little black dress — has just sold at auction at Christie’s in London for a staggering £467,000 (roughly $920,909), a spokeswoman confirms to PEOPLE. That makes the sale a world record-setting amount at auction for a dress made for a film. Right now, the only detail available on the buyer is that he or she is European (and has more money to spare than most!). And who gets this huge amount? Founder Dominic Lapierre, who was selling the dress on behalf of his charity City of Joy Aid said: “There are tears in my eyes. I am absolutely dumbfounded to believe that a piece of cloth which belonged to such a magical actress will now enable me to buy bricks and cement to put the most destitute children in the world into schools.” What could be a more magical movie moment?

Update 12/16/06: So I went to see this on Friday it was sold out in three cinemas I tried to go to. Oh well I will try again next weekend.

After you see the movie read the book! We all know some things are left out of the movie. Okay many things are left out of the movie. But it looks like Will is going to put on a spectacular performance. Here is the editorial review and the movie review….

From Publishers Weekly
Gardner chronicles his long, painful, ultimately rewarding journey from inner-city Milwaukee to the pinnacle of Wall Street. Born in 1954, he grew up like too many young blacks: poor and fatherless, with a mother strong on children and church, yet soft on men. His violent, hateful stepfather refused to accept Gardner as a stepson and thwarted him at every turn. By his own account, Gardner was a good kid who got into trouble occasionally, but stayed on a steady, upward track. After a stint in the navy, he set his sights on a medical career, but a foray into sales led him to the stock and bond market. Gardner’s own weakness was women, and when one of them left him with a son, it led to a period of homelessness on the San Francisco streets. Determination and resourcefulness brought father and son not merely to safety but to the top. Gardner is honest and thorough as he solidly depicts growing up black and male in late 20th-century urban America. His story isn’t especially fresh, but his voice is likable, resulting in a quality African-American/business memoir deserving a wider audience than its niche-market elements might suggest. Photos. Ad/promo to coincide with the major motion picture starring Will Smith.(On sale May 23)

We all knew Beyonce was going to step out in style. She is glowing. Absolutely stunning! Another great selection. I am so glad the ladies decided to look decent and not experiment with trashy styles. Jennifer Hudson looks absolutely stunning as well. Congrats Jen on your win!

I love Toni Collete. From way back in the day when she did Muriel’s wedding she has blossomed into a beautiful woman. Love the blue on her and the cut of the dress suits her well.

Katherine Heigl is a cutie. Love her on Gray’s Anatomy. Cried when Denny died. She knows she looks great in this dress. I think it is great when people dress for their age and dress comfortably.

Together they share the candid experiences that led to a lifelong commitment between two friends who’ve known each other since their college days in the late 1980s at the prestigious Yale School of Drama. It was a dream come true for these two high-profile celebrities when they finally found love and happiness nearly twenty years later in each other’s arms. Angela and Courtney’s friendship-turned-touching-love-story is a tale worth sharing with the world.

FRIENDS: A LOVE STORY openly reveals the serendipitous events that occur when lovers are destined to unite.

“I don’t talk to anyone about my problems with my husband,” the Reign Over Me actress, 35, tells Redbook for its April issue.

Not that there is a lack of communication between the two of them. “The ritual Will and I have is to talk about everything,” says Pinkett Smith.

She just doesn’t care to share their secrets with others. “You can’t expect people to understand your relationship,” she says. “My girlfriends always say, ‘You never complain or talk about your marriage.’ But it’s just not what I do.?
