Nikki Blonsky (center) and her father Carl (along with mom Karen) put down their airport fight club gloves long enough to pose for friendly pics with Regis Philbin (far left) and his wife Joy (far right) in NYC on Wednesday. In August, Carl spent nearly two weeks holed up in a Turks and Caicos jail after he and his tough "Hairspray" diva daughter got into a bitchfight with "America's Next Top Model" wannabeen Bianca Golden and her fam. They're all due back in court in December.
Courtney Love was doing anything but chillin' in Malibu yesterday. Kurt Cobain's widow had some very un-Disney things to say about purity ring poster children, The Jonas Brothers.
It looks like Sarah Palin may have trouble getting the rehabbed and rumored-to-be-gay vote come November. LiLo ripped Palin apart last night in her blog, asking, "Is our country so divided that the Republicans best hope is a narrow minded, media obsessed homophobe?" She then added the totally non-ironic comment, "Oh, and...Hint Hint Pali Pal- Don't pose for anymore tabloid covers, you're not a celebrity, you're running for office to represent our, your, my COUNTRY!"
Lesson: Leave the gossip mags to the professionals.
...the American Cancer Society!?! WTF?! The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a group with wayyy too much time on their hands, is now going after the American Cancer Society ... for trying to fight cancer -- in humans!
After the ACS went after Michael Jordan for smoking during a softball game earlier this week, the folks at PETA, who obviously couldn't stand to see another organization get attention, released a strongly worded letter of their own -- attacking the people dedicated to helping actual, living Homo sapiens.
Here's the statement: "The ACS needs to get its own act together before it calls a foul on Michael Jordan." See, PETA claims the folks at the ACS are hypocrites because they have fundraisers where they serve "cancer-linked" foods -- and by cancer-linked they mean dead animal, like beef.
Imagine how screwed the Muscular Dystrophy Association's gonna be when PETA finds out Jerry Lewis had a steak once.
Blow for blow, Elton John can still snort Lily Allen under the table -- and when a catftight broke out between the two of them at last night's GQ Men of the Year Awards in London, the Rocketman let her know it!
An obviously trashed Allen tried to spar with the master, cussing him out and taking shots at his age, but Elton shut her down slamming Lily for being a drunk and ripping the singer over her alleged penchant for nose candy.
David Spade officially killed his almost-celebrity feud with John Mayer in Hollywood last night, tucking his tail between his legs and halting his attack on John's "Why I'm Dumping Jen Aniston" speech. Wuss.
Spade also claimed he wasn't making a run at Jen, they're just good friends. Just like Heather Locklear, right?
Roseanne is pissed over public reaction to her blog blasting Brangelina -- and somehow it's all our fault.
Roseanne feels she was justified in calling Brad "vacuous" and Angie "evil." She wrote on her blog today, "The media's images of [Brad and Angelina] are smelly and vile, and I must always attack the media's representation of what is good or cool."
Roseanne capped off the rant with an offering of sorts to us, saying, "Taste my sandy buttcrack, tmz!"
Kid Rock is cruisin' for a bruisin'! Kid's tour bus was spotted near Sturgis, SD with a license plate holder that reads "Follow Me to ... Waffle House." As you may recall, Kid pleaded no contest after getting into an early morning brawl at a Waffle House in Georgia last year.
Chris Orbach -- son of the late "Law & Order" actor Jerry Orbach -- lit into his stepmother for allegedly cutting Jerry's spawn out of his $10 million estate.
In a letter obtained by the NY Post, Chris calls Elaine Cancilla-Orbach "a double-dealing, lying, scheming, miserable fool" -- and says all he's been left with are few CDs, two sweaters, a pool cue and a pocketknife.
Chris also blasts Elaine's decision to donate his father's eyes, saying, "Having to leave my father's deathbed so that some guy with an ice box could shuck his eyes out while they were fresh still makes me sick and furious to this day."
Elaine says Chris is full of bull, noting that Chris was never aware of Jerry's wish to donate his eyes upon his death.
In a video taken after the ferocious fight between Nikki Blonsky from "Hairspray" and Bianca Golden from "ANTM" -- Nikki's mom says her daughter was attacked for no reason.
Nikki Blonsky's mom pops up midway through the video -- shot at the Providenciales airport -- to say that Nikki was "just sitting there" when she was "punched in the head."
You can also hear another witness say "Tracy Turnblad" won't be "dancing around today" after the lady in the green shirt initiated the fight that sent Bianca's mom to the hospital and Nikki, Bianca, and Nikki's dad to jail.
John McCain better watch his hide -- Barack Obama's got a real bona-fide gunslinger on his side.
Turns out that Obama and Wild Bill Hickok are cousins -- ok, so sixth cousins, six times removed -- but they're still related.
Obama fessed up during a speech in Springfield, Mo. The crowd thought he was joking. But the St. Pete Times found out that it's true ... just like Barack and Brad Pitt are ninth cousins.
What's George Michael got against diminutive fitness guru Richard Simmons?
Yesterday, Georgie whammed Little Richard, his short shorts and his Congressional field trip in DC. But a diss from a guy who was arrested for soliciting a policeman in a public restroom is almost a compliment.
The words Lauren Conrad and half off should be met with cheer -- too bad it pertains to her clothing line.
While Heidi Montag was at Kitson selling her clothes like hot cakes -- L.C.'s line was hanging on the clearance rack. Then LC just happened to walk by.
Shanna Moakler is firing back at Kim K's claim she doesn't date white guys, telling TheDirty.com:
"Come on Kim, let the truth be told! You have dated numerous white guys. Your quote saying that you are not into white guys is a sham -- not a SHIM [a she and a him] like you! How about you just be honest Kim and say, "Shanna, I'm sorry for f'n with your man!" It's that simple... then you can deal with the aftermath from Reggie, you know -- your man that you cheated on!"
