Danny Glover turns the Lethal Weapon of his fist on the paparazzi. HA HA HA! I'm sorry, I tried forever to make a Mel Gibson-related joke here and came up empty. I'm going on two hours of sleep, people... [The Blemish] How many Polish researchers does it take to determine that Naomi Campbell is, scientifically, physically perfect? I don't know the answer, but I'm guessing they were all male. [Agent Bedhead] Leonardo DiCaprio's presence in Israel makes Judeo-Muslim conflict look like a pillow fight. [Ninja Dude] Pam and Tommy will never be over. [Gabsmash] Check out the trailer for Grindhouse. [popbytes] Donald Trump gives the folks at The Insider the sound bite they're paying him for. [POTP] The British government continues to allow Kate Moss to raise a child. [Celebslam] How Lindsay Lohan still has a drivers license is one of the great mysteries of our generation. [GTS] Tori Spelling pops out Liam Aaron McDermott. [PopSugar] Avril Lavigne spits on people all the time, guys. Why is it suddenly such a big deal? [Allie]
Media giant Viacom is suing YouTube, and its new parent company, Google, for copyright infringement, to the tune of $1 billion-with-a-B, after negotiations toward creating a partnership between the two groups fell apart. Viacom wants the courts to issue an injunction preventing YouTube from further copyright infringement while the case is pending.
For their part, the Google folks are "confident that YouTube has respected the legal rights of copyright holders and believe the courts will agree."
I, for one, don't see how that's possible, but what do I know? Man, this sort of thing never would have happened when YouTube was an independent company with zilch on the balance sheet. Damn you, Google. />Media giant Viacom is suing YouTube, and its new parent company, Google, for copyright infringement, to the tune of $1 billion-with-a-B, after negotiations toward creating a partnership between the two groups fell apart.

At least everybody famous.
Mischa Barton ran outside to hurl at a SoHo bar, and -- in a very exciting Page Six scoop -- narrowly missed the shoes of Jamie-Lynn Sigler with her vomit. Where is a camera when you need one? I don't CARE about pictures of Britney Spears leaving an AA meeting -- I want to see the look on Meadow Soprano's face as Marissa Cooper's vomit splashes in her direction. Anyway, Mischa went back inside and continued drinking, because she's not an addict. (In fairness, Us...
On the Britney-Spears-has-a-boyfriend-she-met-in-AA story that's running around the Internet today. I mean, far be it from me to discredit the National Enquirer, but, okay, Britney has been to, what, two AA meetings that weren't held at Promises? And it's not like an AA meeting is a social hour -- especially if you're there with your rehab center. They're going to keep a pretty close eye on where you are and with whom you're talking. And then there's all this shit about Britney calling and e...

It's Top 12 time. NB: I decided to quit smoking yesterday, I'm going on two hours of sleep, and I just gagged my way through the first twenty-five minutes of MTV's True Life: I'm a Genius in order to give my TiVo a head start, so this recap is going to be bitchy.
Before we begin, I'd like to note that somehow it is going to take two hours for twelve people to sing a Diana Ross song. It would probably take less time to teach Paula Abdul to play Diana Ross's entire repertoire on the tuba. B...
Olivia Newton John and her daughter, Chloe, talk to Woman's Day magazine about the battle with anorexia that they both seem to have convinced themselves Chloe is winning. When asked about how she's doing today, Chloe says, "I’m taking very good care of myself now but I’m not going to be like ‘Oh, I eat pizza every day!’" I assure you this girl hasn't eaten pizza since sometime in 2003. Get healthy, Chloe!! Those legs are NOT sexy and it is NO FUN to be hungry. ...
Over the past few months, we have seen without a shadow of a doubt that Anna Nicole potential impregnator Larry Birkhead is -- if nothing else -- a genius at making an household name out of a talentless nobody, so perhaps it's no wonder that super-agent Ari Gold once called on him to resurrect a career for Johnny "Drama" Chase in an effort to appease Drama's more successful younger brother. Check out this screen cap from an episode of Entourage. That is unmistakably Larry Birkhead in that bo...
Oh, Lindsay, Lindsay. Where would we be without you? I know things are rough for you, what with you father being released from prison in, like, two hours, but do you really have to take your inner fear out on all the other women of Hollywood?
Lindsay's prepping to head for London to film a new movie, The Best Time of Our Lives (co-starring Keira Knightley), and decided to get all her NYC ("sober") partying out of her system beforehand. On her to-do list: DJ AM, recently split from Mandy Moore, ...
In a gossip world defined by an unending series of rehab entrances and exits, suicides and divorces, it's refreshing to come across a plain old-fashioned Brooke-Shields-got-stuck-in-her-trailer piece. Shields was in New York, filming Lipstick Jungle for NBC (based on a novel by Sex and the City columnist Candace Bushnell), when she and her two young daughters somehow became locked in her trailer. Crew members could not pry open the front door of her trailer, so one climbed through the window t...
Britney attended another Promises field trip to an AA meeting tonight -- this time the 7:30 pm speaker meeting in Pacific Palisades. The paparazzi were right there to film her when she left, although they don't have footage of her showing up. This pretty much means they weren't tipped off by a staffer at Promises, because a staffer would have given them enough of a heads-up for them to get there when she pulled up -- they were tipped off by one of Britney's fellow rehabbers (who don't find ou...
