COURTNEY LOVE REPLACING PAULA ABDUL?
Forget those Internet rumors that American Idol wants to replace Paula Abdul Paula Abdul with now-sober rocker Courtney Love.
"I did not call Courtney Love and am afraid someone may have misrepresented me," executive producer Nigel Lythgoe said in a statement. "Courtney Love is a very talented artist, but the judges for American Idol are Paula, Randy and Simon. We have no plans to add to or replace any of them."
MINORITY REPORT: JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE MOVING ON
Looks like Justin Timberlakehas bounced back just fine after his break up with actress Cameron Diaz. According to the rumor mill, he may have moved right into the arms of Jessica Biel. The two have been spotted chilling, flirting and snowboarding lately – but don't peg them as a new couple just yet, sources say in the new issue of PEOPLE.
Earlier this month, Timberlake invited Biel and a few friends to hang backstage at his concert in San Diego, and the pair were spotted snowboarding together with a group of buddies at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, on Jan. 25. But a close source insists, "It's all about having fun."
Some how I believe that. I don't see these two as a couple.

CURRENT MISS USA A COCAINE ADDICT TOO
Well it seems that our current Miss USA, Tara Conner, is not only an alcoholic but a recovering cocaine addict. Boy have times changed. "Cocaine was one of the drugs that I did use. It's hard to look back at that," she tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "I was an equal-opportunity [user] – I would try anything once." (Note to Tara, ‘Girlfriend, you don’t have to tell everything.’)
The 21-year-old Russell Springs, Ky., native spent 31 days at the Caron Foundation rehab facility in Wernersville, Pa., as part of a "second chance" offered to her by Donald Trump, co-owner of the Miss Universe organization, following press reports of underage drinking, drug use and promiscuity.

When asked about the rumored romantic escapades, she hedges: "I would talk to more than one guy at once – it doesn't mean that I was sexually active with every one of these people." It was alcohol, she says, that had the biggest hold on her. Citing a family history of alcoholism, Conner says that for many years she was "a functioning alcoholic. If I got caught [drinking], I would stop – I was able to do that."
VIVICA SHOWS ALL
Help me understand why Vivica has to consistently be so "in your face." I happy to see a vibrant 40-something woman. But my goodness, have some class. She took this recent shot for Smooth magazine.
RAPPER JAY-Z HAS A STALKER
So it seems that Jay-Z has a stalker - and that stalker surfaced on Dr. Phil. Via the Dr. Phil: 
"I’ve been stalking Jay-Z more than three years,” Katrina says matter-of-factly....I can’t seem to think of anybody else. He is my all and all." Katrina buys every magazine Jay-Z is in, has called him over 300 times and e-mails him 200 times a day, but he has never responded. She even had a T-shirt made up with Jay-Z's and her picture, that she says she sleeps in every night...Katrina's friends have pointed out that she'll never be able to take Jay-Z from Beyonce. "I don’t care. To me, I am Beyoncé. I am every man’s dream. I’m accomplishing it by just looking in the mirror and saying, ‘Jay-Z’s going to be my man,’" she says.

DIDDY SPOTTED WITH J.LO LOOK-ALIKES
So it seems actress Sienna Miller, whom Jude Law jettisoned in recent weeks, isn't the only girl on Diddy's mind these days. The NY Post reports that on Friday night, Diddy was with two other beauties around 4 a.m. when he hit Scores West.
Diddy and the two ladies were seen to enter one of the club's private rooms, but not before he picked out two "very pretty" Scores dancers to entertain the threesome inside. Diddy's bodyguards posted themselves outside the door.
Word is that when it came time to tip the dancers, Diddy was patting his pockets, claiming he didn't have any do-re-mi left.
"They were J.Lo look-alikes," the Post reports.

PARIS HILTON SUES PARISEXPOSED.COM
Paris Hilton has filed a federal lawsuit against Parisexposed.com, which launched Jan. 23. The site allowed visitors to view Hilton's bank records, personal diaries and home videos for a $30.97 fee. The site claimed the items were auctioned off after Hilton failed to pay the rent on a Los Angeles-area storage facility.
In a lawsuit filed Monday, Hilton, 25, says the items went into the 6,000-sq.-ft. storage unit two years ago when she and her sister, Nicky, 23, moved out of a house that had been burglarized. Hilton claims a moving company was to pay the storage fees.
"I was appalled to learn that people are exploiting my and my sisters' (sic) private personal belongings for commercial gain," Hilton says in a statement accompanying the lawsuit, according to the Associated Press.
The lawsuit alleges that defendants Nabil and Nabila Haniss of Culver City, Calif., paid $2,775 for Hilton's items and then sold them for $10 million to entrepreneur Bardia Persa, creator of Parisexposed.com.

BRANDY SUED
Singer-actress Brandy was sued for $50 million today by the family of a woman killed in a four-car freeway crash which police have blamed on the 27-year-old performer.
According to the Washington Post, the wrongful death lawsuit by the parents of Awatef Aboudihaj, 38, was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court a day after police recommended that prosecutors charge Brandy with a misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter.
The California Highway Patrol found that the entertainer, whose full name is Brandy Norwood, was at fault in the December 30 accident for failing to prevent her Land Rover from hitting the car in front of her when traffic suddenly slowed, CHP spokesman Leland Tang said this week.
Aboudihaj was killed when her vehicle slammed into a third car, careened into the freeway's center divider and was hit broad-side by a fourth automobile, police said.
The lawsuit, filed as a three-page form complaint, says her death was caused by "reckless driving" by Brandy. It seeks $50 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
Investigators have ruled out alcohol and drugs as factors in the crash and say there was no evidence that Brandy was using a cell phone or was otherwise distracted. She was in her car alone, Tang said.
Brandy issued a statement through her publicist last week expressing condolences to the victim's family.
PARIS HILTON & NICOLE RICHE BACK TOGETHER?
Could Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton be patching things up? The two were spotted dinner at Mr.Chow in Beverly Hills on Monday. Perhaps they were discussing Paris' lawsuit that was filed that same day to recover her personal items, including risque videos, that have been displayed on pay-per-month Web site Parisexposed.com for the pastweek.

DIDDY IS SO BUSTED WITH SIENNA MILLER
Oh my goodness guys....I typically don't get excited by gossip because hey, that's what I do. So when I saw the title of this TMZ video starring Diddy and Sienna Miller I thought, 'No big deal. Who knows if he's with this chick.'
But believe me when I say HIS REACTION IS PRICELESS. Puffy you are so d*mn busted.
Watch him walk 20 steps behind her, debate whether to go in or not, groan out loud in disgust and finally throw his fist in the air as if to say, 'D*mn!" Oh and when all else fails he sends his boys over to the reporter to handle the situation.

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer continued to share quality time together Friday night at his concert at the Bank United Center at the University of Miami, where Simpson was dancing to Mayer's entire set and 20-minute encore, sources tell PEOPLE. With a camera in hand, Simpson – who took in the show from the sound and lighting area alongside stylist Ken Paves, Billy Joel and his wife, Katie Lee Joel – snapped photos of herself and Paves, Mayer and the crowd.
Though not a practitioner herself, Jennifer Lopez spoke up on behalf of Scientology – and revealed that her father, David Lopez, is a follower – during a weekend interview with a Miami TV station. "My dad has been a Scientologist for 20 years," Lopez, 37, told South Florida's NBC6. "It's weird people want to paint it in a negative way." Lopez made her remarks while being asked about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' Nov. 18 "wedding of the decade" in Italy, which Lopez and her husband, Marc Anthony, attended. Asked for her response to some people's negative perception of Scientology, Lopez said, "I, myself, am Catholic. But it's just sad that people would look at it (Scientology) in that way."

BRANDY FACES JAIL TIME
If the California Highway Patrol (CHP) gets its way, Brandy could be facing charges over a fatal crash. The CHP concluded its investigation into the Dec. 30 collision involving the R&B singer – and recommended to the Los Angeles City Attorney's office Monday morning that she be charged with a misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence, according to patrol spokesman Leland Tang. If convicted, the 28-year-old star could face up to one year in county jail.
Goodness. This is such a sad situation. You can't bring the lady back, but accidents do happen...I hate it.

MINORITY REPORT: KATIE HOLMES
Katie Holmes turned down a $2 million deal to star in the sequel to Batman Begins. The actress was expected to reprise her role as Rachel Dawes alongside caped crusader Christian Bale for Batman: The Dark Knight but has pulled out because of "scheduling conflicts".
Rumors have already circulated that Katie has been replaced by Wedding Crashers actress Rachel McAdams for the comic-book adventure. Katie has instead signed up to star alongside Queen Latifah in the comedy Mad Money.

The movie follows three female janitors working at the Federal Reserve who plot a major heist. The former Dawson's Creek actress' move into comedy is believed to be part of her plan to re-launch herself, following her career break to marry Tom Cruise and have their daughter, Suri.
However, film insiders have suggested she has been struggling to find work because of her controversial conversion to her husband's Scientology faith.
A source said: "Studios may be gun-shy if her new status as a tabloid fixture. And her expectations may be raised as the new Mrs Cruise. Stars of much bigger stature, including Meg Ryan and Demi Moore, have found it tough to regain their momentum after taking time off."
MARIAH CAREY GRACES PLAYBOY

FASHION FACEOFF: LINDSAY LOHAN , JENNIFER HUDSON
So who rocked it better?
Jennifer Hudson v. Gwyneth Paltrow
I'm a big Gwyneth fan, but this dress just hangs better on Jennifer and all her curves. It looks a little frumpy on Gwyneth.
Jessica Biel v. Hilary Swank
Same scenario as above. Jessica just has the curves to pull it off.
Fergie v. Hilary Duff
This is a tie to me. I pretty much hate the dress.
Lindsay Lohan v. Julie Bowen
This simple number looks stylish and young on Lindsay but frumpy and plain on Julie.
Jennifer Hudson v. Gwyneth Paltrow

MINORITY REPORT: JESSICA SIMPSON , IVANKA TRUMP
So what does Donald Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, really think of her father’s hair? The blond beauty told People magazine, “Maybe I'm just used to it, but I love his hair! I've heard all sorts of crazy things, but I can verify with complete conviction that it's not a hairpiece. It is what it is!” (Girl quit playing….You know his head looks like a nest. That man has hair that only a daughter could love. No one will ever say Ivanka’s not loyal.)
Anne Heche has split from her cameraman husband Coley Laffoon. Heche dated Ellen DeGeneres for several years before the couple broke up in 2000. In 2001, she published an autobiography, Call Me Crazy, in which she detailed her struggles with mental illness. Aww….All this just as Ellen gushes to The Advocate about her great her relationship with Portia de Rossi is. "I could say the same thing I've said in every relationship: 'I'm happy.' But there's happiness and there's love, and then there's completion," the Emmy-winning talk-show host says. "It doesn't take away from any of the relationships that I've had, 'cause I've had amazing relationships. ... But I feel like I found my perfect fit." (I really like Ellen. You have to trust a white woman who moves like a sister.)
Look who’s being spotted together again in Miami...John Mayer and Jessica Simpson. Maybe there’s really something here. What an odd couple. (Oh, and hate the platform shoes.)

KIMORA ACTS A FOOL AT ALICIA KEYS' BIRTHDAY PARTY
It was supposed to be Alicia Keys' 27th birthday party, but Kimora Lee Simmons took center stage when she got into a bizarre screaming fight with another woman Wednesday night.
The intimate fete at Bed started out mellow enough, with Keys hanging out with her boyfriend, Kerry (Krucial) Brothers, and pals like Clive Davis, Missy Elliott and Common. But minutes after everyone had sung "Happy Birthday," a shrill voice shattered the vibe.
The intimate fete at Bed started out mellow enough, with Keys hanging out with her boyfriend, Kerry (Krucial) Brothers, and pals like Clive Davis, Missy Elliott and Common. But minutes after everyone had sung "Happy Birthday," a shrill voice shattered the vibe.
"Get out of my face, b-!" shrieked Kimora, according to a witness.
According to the NY post, guests wheeled around to find the designing wife of rap mogul Russell Simmons yelling at a woman in jeans and a tan vest. "Kimora said that the woman had thrown a drink at her," says one attendee. "She didn't look wet to me. But security grabbed the girl and ushered her out." Asked by another guest what the fight was about, the woman said, "She's jealous of me!"
Kimora's rep described her as "a disrespectful fan" who "accosted" Simmons. One source added, "Kimora doesn't even know this person, but [the woman] constantly shows up at events where Kimora is expected. Frankly, it's a little scary. Kimora is looking into getting a restraining order."
Whatever the back story, Alicia didn't seem to appreciate the drama. "When Kimora was leaving, Alicia totally ignored her," claimed a source. Keys' rep insisted, "She had a wonderful time."

Former Spice Girl Emma Bunton is pregnant with her first child. "I guess I will be handing over the 'Baby' tag now to a deserving little new owner," the 31-year-old said in a statement. Bunton and boyfriend Jade Jones, 27, a former member of the British boy band Damage, have been together for eight years. They moved in together to a five-bedroom home in north London in 2005.
Lindsay Lohan is back at work according to her rep. A source close to the Lohan saga says Lohan's latest movie, I Know Who Killed Me, began shooting again on Thursday, and her scenes were scheduled to start filming today. (I hope this isn't another I Know What You Did Last Summer movie.)
Hilary Duff says she and ex-boyfriend Joel Madden still speak to each other – but that she's excited to start playing the field and jump into dating. While on Ryan Seacrest's L.A. radio show Thursday morning, the now single actress and singer said dating "is fun. I kind of feel like a guy, like I can do it now." She added, laughing, "But I feel kind of wrong at the same time." Duff, 19, said her breakup with Madden, the lead singer of Good Charlotte, late last year, after two and half years together, wasn't bitter. "There was nothing – no fight, no 'He did this, I did this,' " she said. "It was just time for people to move on and do different things." (Gag, gag....Can't stand Hilary. Give me Lohan any day.)
Just a year after separating from wife Hilary Swank, Chad Lowe is moving on. He's got a new gig (as Deputy Chief of Staff Reed Pollock on FOX's 24) and a new leading lady - producer Kim Painter. Of course, his last relationship, with the two-time Oscar-winning Swank, was higher-profile, and some observers wondered whether her skyrocketing career hurt their marriage. But Lowe says that's not true. "I was always proud of her achievements," he says. "It's true that I was less than inspired by the opportunities coming my way as an actor. But that in no way negated my support or admiration for all she's accomplished."
In July, Swank told Vanity Fair that Lowe's substance abuse prevented them from being "completely solid." "I was disappointed with her decision to go public with my sobriety," says Lowe. "But I don't deny that I had a problem and that it strained our relationship. Was this the reason it ended? No. I've been sober for nearly four years and have never felt better. (I'm) forever grateful to Hilary for her support."

USHER STEPS OUT WITH RUMORED NEW LADY
So, Usher officially has a thing for older women. The R&B singer was spotted at the 2007 Trumpet Awards on Monday with none other than Tameka Foster - his "stylist" and rumored chick on the low.
Months ago, Tameka was rumored to be stepping out on her hubby with Usher. However these days I hear she's officially divorced. Yes Momma Usher is going to have her hands full trying to pry this mother of three from her baby.
Normally, I would call this foolishness, but as a woman of a certain age now I say , 'You go girl.' Haters hate...

MINORITY REPORT: LINDSAY LOHAN , VICTORIA BECKHAM
Actor-turned-singer Jared Leto snatched up little Elijah Wood? When on Earth did this happen? In the Feb. issue of Jane magazine, Elijah said the Jared snatched him in October at the MTVU Woodie Awards in New York.
"He was basically upset at the fact that I said I didn't like his band," Wood says. "He said that initially and then walked away." But things escalated from there. "I guess he thought I was laughing at him," Wood says, "but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, 'Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.' And that's when he came back and grabbed me." In the January/February 2003 issue of Blender, the Lord of the Rings actor told an interviewer, "I would never try to be like other actors and attempt to make (music) myself. I mean, have you heard 30 Seconds to Mars? ... F---ing awful, man!" Wood went on to say that the whole incident at the awards show felt surreal. (Goodness Elijah. As hot as Jared is, you can’t let people punk you. Man up.)
Guess who’s blogging…Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham. For the past few months, the former Posh Spice has been penning small missives to fans on her Web site, dvbstyle.com In her latest post, titled "Greetings from L.A.," she gushes about moving to Los Angeles later this year, where her soccer star husband David will play for the L.A. Galaxy. "I've been so touched by the support from all the people we've met," she writes. "People in the street have been calling out things like 'Welcome home, we're so excited you're here.' That has been fantastic, and one of the best things about this trip." The DVB Style site launched in October ("DVB" stands for David and Victoria Beckham) and is intended to spotlight the Beckhams' various fashion projects.
Friends report that Lindsay Lohan is loving life in the Wonderland Center addiction-treatment facility. Lohan, 20, who had planned to attend the Sundance film festival, has instead been taking hikes on the center's lush three acres and attending treatment meetings. The hillside Wonderland has all the amenities of a spa, including yoga instructors and beauty consultants. Apparently, the final straw came when Lohan hit Hollywood's Les Deux on Jan. 5, less than 24 hours after having her appendix removed. (Keep your head up girl. She’s another one I like in spite of...)

As hot as Jared is, you can’t let people punk you. Man up.)
Guess who’s blogging…Posh Spice aka Victoria Beckham. For the past few months, the former Posh Spice has been penning small missives to fans on her Web site, dvbstyle.com In her latest post, titled "Greetings from L.A.," she gushes about moving to Los Angeles later this year, where her soccer star husband David will play for the L.A. Galaxy. "I've been so touched by the support from all the people we've met," she writes. "People in the street have been calling out things like 'Welcome home, we're so excited you're here.' That has been fantastic, and one of the best things about this trip." The DVB Style site launched in October ("DVB" stands for David and Victoria Beckham) and is intended to spotlight the Beckhams' various fashion projects.
Friends report that Lindsay Lohan is loving life in the Wonderland Center addiction-treatment facility. Lohan, 20, who had planned to attend the Sundance film festival, has instead been taking hikes on the center's lush three acres and attending treatment meetings. The hillside Wonderland has all the amenities of a spa, including yoga instructors and beauty consultants. Apparently, the final straw came when Lohan hit Hollywood's Les Deux on Jan. 5, less than 24 hours after having her appendix removed. (Keep your head up girl. She’s another one I like in spite of...)

MINORITY REPORT: BRITNEY SPEARS , KEVIN FEDERLINE
A top executive at the National Restaurant Association has blasted the upcoming Kevin Federline Super Bowl ad for Nationwide Insurance which shows Britney Spears' ex daydreaming about being a rap star but really working in a fast-food joint. According to the exec., the commercial is "demeaning and unpleasant" to the nation's 12.8 million restaurant workers. (Really, these National Restaurant people should get a life. It’s just a commercial.)
Grey's Anatomy's Isaiah Washington who said a week ago that he needs help to resolve issues "within my own soul" following his anti-gay remarks, is now seeking counseling.
"With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling," he said. "I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again. I appreciate the fact that I have been given this opportunity and I remain committed to transforming my negative actions into positive results, personally and professionally."
(Y’all, this sh— is crazy. I didn’t see Michael “Kramer” Richards headed to a shrink after calling us n*ggas.)
A new Web site called Parisexposed.com has promised to reveal even more about Paris Hilton than we care to know. Launched Tuesday, the site offers up everything from steamy videos of the hotel heiress in bed and the tub to bank statements and pictures of her dog. Hilton had once kept all these items in a storage facility, but they were auctioned off after she failed to pay her bill. The belongings are now in possession of the Web site operator, who's making them available for $39.97. (She of all people should know better. Besides what else is there that the public hasn’t seen.)
I tried to give Brit Brit the benefit of the doubt, but it looks like she really does have a new man if a recent shopping trip is any indication. It seems Britney Spears (with 16-month-old son Sean Preston in tow) and two girlfriends hit Los Angeles boutique Trashy Lingerie on Friday, where she picked up a handmade Valentine-themed outfit. Spears's sweetheart - actor-model beau Isaac Cohen - who recently stayed with the singer in a Fantasy Tower suite at The Palms in Las Vegas, apparently inspired the singer's interest in undergarments: "She said it was for someone special," says store rep Bridget Silvestri. Looks like Isaac may have something to look forward to Feb. 14.
