ANNA NICOLE'S FAILED SEARCH FOR CLASS...
There seems to be an eyewitness to Anna Nicole Smith's use of drugs during her pregnancy. In sworn sealed court documents filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by TMZ, Laura Payne alleges that she actually administered pills to the expectant mother from a bottle marked "Methadone" and that she "personally observed" Anna Nicole taking "a rather high dose of Xanax" around the same time, May 2006.
Not so coincidentally, Anna Nicole's dead son Daniel Smith is alleged to have imbibed a lethal combination of methadone, in addition to prescribed antidepressants. This leads some to wonder if his mother's lifestyle contributed to Daniel's demise. An autopsy showed his system had eight times the lethal dose of drugs.
Meanwhile, Anna Nicole in an e-mail to Payne talked of her money woes. "I can't work now so im pretty much f....d for a bit!...sure counting on the court to give me my money...cause all I want to do is move from this house and get a better one and just start over!...and to boot ive gained 30 pounds im horrified!"
Well, the former stripper and widow of an 89 year old billionaIre cadaver got paid $600,000 for the last photos of her with Daniel, then collected close to a $1 million for the bogus "wedding ceremony" to her creepy personal lawyer, Howard K. Stern, and now "Entertainment Tonight" is running an exclusive 2 night interview with the grieving mother with promises of exclusive delivery room footage of Anna Nicole birthing her daughter by unknown paternity. That should be worth another 200 grand, at least. Our feelings of deep sympathy on her unfathomable loss always get screwed up by the money thing. But cashing in on tragedy seems to be a national pastime. Miss Smith, when you get the half billion from your late octagenarian's estate,may we suggest a crash course in Miss Manners as your first expenditure.
BLONDE AMBITION AND RYAN PHILLIPPE
Mr. Reese Witherspoon's inamorata, Australian actress Abbie Cornish, is not a stranger to on set romances. Her former co-stars say the blonde has a history of cozying up to important people who can help her career. Before canoodling wth Ryan Phillippe in Austin, the Down Under gal spent much time on The Golden Age set playing footsies and other things wth director Shekhae Kapur.
What's up with men in Hollywood marriages? Both of the lovely Audrey Hepburn's husbands were serial cheaters, Christie Brinkley can't seem to marry a faithful, adoring hubby, and the fabulous British actress Emma Thompson couldn't keep her man on his side of the bed. If men are from Mars and women from Venus, we wonder how it works in the other galaxies. We've got a call in to Tom Cruise.
SPEAKING OF CONQUESTS...
A recent bedmate of Entourage's Jeremy Piven says that the guy who plays an agent who gets 10 percent from his clients can only give ten percent to his conquests in the sack. The gal goes on to hit the actor below the belt by observing: "Unfortunately, it was not even fun size."
Holy cow! Does this mean that size really does count?!!
HOLLYWOOD QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Which hunky Hollywood star likes to go cruising for bulldogs? No, not the fat, slobbering canine kind. But short, paunchy men with shaved heads and handlebar mustaches.
In the gay world, this star is known as a daddy chaser.
SILLY FACT OF THE DAY
Bonanza's Big Daddy Lorne Greene had one of his nipples bitten off by an alligator.
No word on how soon the reptile croaked from overdosing on ham.
DUH...
It is illegal to carry ice cream in your pocket in Kentucky.

ALL SHRINKS & PRIVATE DICKS TO GREY'S ANATOMY, STAT!!
Seems the obnoxious co-star of ABC's hit show Grey's Anatomy, Isaiah Washington, has a history of aggressive behavior. Last week the good doctor assaulted his co-star Patrick Dempsey on the set, choking him after Dr. McDreamy defended another castmate, T. R. Knight, against Washington's homophobic slurs. This led Knight to out himself publicly the next week.
Now comes word that during a guest stint in 1997 on the TV show High Incident, Washington got into a fight with a crew member that was vicious enough to have the police called in, according to TMZ.com. Then Washington's dark side reared its ugly head again in 2000 in Toronto while filming Soul Food for Showtime. The script called for a peck on the cheek of his actress co-star, but the actor improvised, and attacked with a "forceful, aggressive kiss". The actress screamed. Washington screamed at her. When the producer and director tried to calm the situation, Washington "went off" on them, too. The hair-trigger actor has yet to apologize to his co-stars on Grey's Anatomy, but he will be on Ellen tomorrow to charm the pants off of her and us.
If this guy wasn't an actor on a hit show, he'd be under arrest for assault and battery. His past behavior would've landed him at least in an anger management class. Stardom with all its perks should carry a responsibility. Bad behavior not only should be outed, but punished to the fullest extent of the law. Yeah, he'll be charming lesbian Ellen tomorrow to show he's not homophobic. It's the most mundane M.O. of the classic abuser. We implore the country of Malawi: Do not give this man a baby...
ANNA NICOLE'S BABY DADDY GAME
Seems Anna Nicole has exhausted the "Let's Not Name The Real Father" game. The lucky winner by default seems to be photographer Larry Birkhead. First, she tried to pin the paternity tail on wealthy Myrtle Beach real estate developer, Gaither Ben Thompson, with whom she had a long term sexual relationship, according to TMZ.com. Her alleged designated baby daddy, her personal, full service attorney, Howard K. Stern, accompanied her to South Carolina during this torrid affair. After inquiring about Thompson's wealth, she informed him that he was the father of her daughter.
Thompson thwarted her dreams of financial fairies dancin' in her head by revealing that was impossible as he already had a vasectomy. That's when she allegedly confessed to the realtor that the photographer was indeed the sperm donor. Shutterbug Birkhead has filed legal papers in Los Angeles to establish paternity.
There's yet another twist in this never-ending sap (oops, soap) opera. Seems the house in the Bahamas where Anna Nicole and her lawyer are staying , which she claimed to own to establish legal residency, was actually owned by her ex-lover Thompson. TMZ learned from Thompson's lawyer that the realtor sold the former stripper his home on credit, but she never paid a cent. She's in default and about to be evicted.
"If the Bahamian government believes the alleged home purchase was a scam to gain residency, Anna Nicole could be deported," reports TMZ.
A slutty Daisy Mae goes to the big city and finds alot of rich men to shtup her. She even finds one old coot billionaire to marry her. They don't care that she has a room temperature IQ, the cooth of Cro-Magnon man and makes Marie Antoinette look like a Quaker. After all, life size blow up Barbie dolls are NEVER out of fashion.
SHARON OSBOURNE: GOODBYE, RUBBER BAND DIETING
Dogged by an eating disorder since age 14, the loquacious, ballsy Sharon Osbourne, wife of madman Ozzy, decided in 1999 to have gastric-band surgery, a fairly non-invasive laparoscopic procedure that reduces the stomach capacity. She lost 125 pounds as a result. But now the cravings are back and she's put on 15 pounds in a year. Overeating with this procedure is a dangerous guilty pleasure, leading to excessive vomiting and a risk of tearing the esophagus. Sharon has survived cancer, empty nest syndrome and her husband's alcohol and drug use and a near fatal accident on an ATV. Now she's facing up to another tough battle: overeating is a psychological problem that has no quick fix. She's tried overspending, surgery and hiding in frenetic, non-stop activity.
Sharon's has made a courageous decision. She's having the gastric-band removed and is going into therapy to find out what's eating at her. "My kids, their whole life, have seen me struggle with weight. They say, 'Now you need to spend time on your head'."
"Nothing tastes as good as thin feels." It's a long way from knowing this to LIVING this. Love to you, Sharon. There's nothing you can't do! Thanks for the unremitting honesty that keeps you forever in our hearts.

MADONNA'S BABY DADDY CRIES FOUL
After an international ping pong match between new adoptive mom Madonna, the world press and outraged international adoption rights groups, Babydonna now has another volley to return. Seems Yohane Banda, the birth dad of 13-month old David, now claims he wasn't fully informed that he was relinquishing legal custody of his child permanently. "I am just realizing the meaning of 'adoption'," the illiterate Banda told the press. "If we were told she wants to take the baby as her own, we would not have consented, because I see no reason I should give up my son." However, the Malawi farmer added that he does not want his son returned to the orphanage.
Fear not concerned citizens of the world! It has just been announced that Madonna will explain all to us Oct. 25th through the benevolent god of talk shows, Oprah Winfrey. We'd like to ask the Material Girl, known in certain circles as Esther, a few questions of our own. (1) With your iconoclastic view of the Catholic Church and its foibles, how could you take a missionary position in regard to your $3 donation to Malawi schools & orphanages, stipulating that teaching Kabbalah to kids is a condition for the gift? (2) Is it true that you were set to adopt a California orphan until a dinner with Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt convinced you to adopt an African tot? (3) Have you consulted Mia Farrow who began adopting Third World and disabled tots in the 60's and ended up with 13 children? (4) Is channeling entertainer extraordinaire and ex-patriate (like yourself) Josephine Baker on your "must do" list? Baker fled racism in '20s America to find fame & glory in Paris dancing with only bananas around her waist. She went on to adopt 12 children of different ethnicities which she called her Rainbow Tribe to prove that different races could live in harmony. Viva adoptive show biz parents!!
ANNA NICOLE'S SON BURIED ON DAY 39
A cemetery in the Bahamas was the scene last Thursday afternoon for tragic Daniel Smith's burial. He was laid to rest in a mahogany casket wearing his favorite trucker cap and jeans. His mother ANNA NICOLE SMITH wore a couture mourner's outfit custom-made by the same designer who made her faux wedding gown. In the obscenely long period between Daniel's death from a drug overdose, his mother: (1) sold the last known photos of her son with his new baby sister for $600,000, (2) staged a fake wedding with her long time personal lawyer, claiming that he and not photographer Larry Birkhead is the baby's daddy. She sold those photos for close to a $1 million, (3) allegedly bribed the Bahamian government to fast track her citizenship application to avoid being legally forced to submit to paternity tests. Anna Nicole was heard screaming at Daniel's funeral: "I don't want a husband, I want my son!"
Here's a question we'd like to ask: Daniel took 7 times the prescribed dosage for both Zoloft and Methadone. He was depressed, that explains the antidepressants in his system. But where did he get the Methadone? Anna Nicole's been accused by the alleged father of her daughter, Larry Birkhead, of being a Methadone addict who was admitted to rehab in the 7th month of her pregnancy. Why is there no investigation as to how Daniel got the Methadone?
PARIS IS A SKANK AND A PRUDE...ISN'T THAT AN OXYMORON?
Former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, ex-boyfriend of Paris Hilton, tattles to the British tabloid, News of the World, that the airhead heiress is not the bomb, but a sexual dud in bed because she was wasted on drugs. He told Georgina Dickinson that, "She was a drunken prude who as far as I can see did not really like sex. She relied on drinks to give her confidence in the bedroom and was more often than not too wasted to even perform. I lost count of the nights I had to pick her off the floor and drag her to bed passed out." He went on to say that she was so hooked on drugs that she smuggled it on airplanes in teddy bears!
Who says chivalry is dead?! Nick's reality show with the IQ challenged Carter clan is a red neck grudge match that never ends. It should be called "The Thrilla in Vanilla"...As for Paris' libido, we told you months ago that she herself admitted that she wasn't that into sex and that her boyfriends were sorely disappointed with having to wake her up in the middle of sex for a call on her sidekick...Paris liberate yourself. Close the shop to all foreign invaders for awhile.
TOM CRUISING FOR A BRUISING
It seems the actor's couch jumping and psychiatry bashing caused a mass exodus of lots of his fans. Even his apology to Brooke Shields after he publicly criticized her for taking medication for postpartum depression couldn't add luster to his tarnished image. Once Tom Cruise ranked among the 10 most popular stars in opinion polls by Marketing Evaluations Inc. He now ranks a bleak No. 650.
What a fascinating lesson in the power of today's Hollywood publicist. Once he fired his long-time publicist, Pat Kingsley, and hired his fellow Scientologist sister, all hell broke loose. Mr. Nice Guy or fanatical cultist with a superiority complex: will the real Tom Cruise please stand up, 3 inch lifts and all!
QUESTION OF THE DAY
Which Hollywood fitness fanatic and leading man has his hairline back thanks to surgery and Rogaine? Unfortunately, Mr. Stud Muffin now requires more Viagara than Hugh Hefner to flex a certain muscle for the ladies due to side effects of the drug treatment.
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"Honey, one inch less and he'd be the Queen of Hollywood."
Actress Carole Lombard, observing that size DOES count, during her marriage to the King of Hollywood, Clark Gable.
HAVING A GAS AT A POLITICAL RALLY VERBOTEN!!
Police in Poland have extended their dragnet and gone to Interpol for help in the search for a political dissident who passed gas when asked what he thought of the President. Hubert Hoffman, 45, charged with "contempt for the office of the head of state", failed to show up for his trial on the charge, setting off the manhunt.

MADONNA AND CHILD
Well, the world might be discussing the propriety of Madonna's move to adopt a 1 year old Malawi tot who has a loving father and granny, but the Material Girl has ruled. The little tyke got whisked away by Madonna's minions yesterday to begin life in the lap of luxury at the diva's London townhouse. Madonna and her filmmaker husband, Guy Ritchie, were granted an interim adoption of baby David. This gives the showbiz parents 18 months temporary custody during which time they will be evaluated by the courts of Malawi.
This is a no-brainer. Madonna's $3 million gift to the orphanage and other programs certainly insures a favorable report. Let's just hope that the little tyke in the end gives his ubermensch mutter a glowing report card. Steven Spielberg once told his free-spirited, ageless mom, Leah Adler: "I won the lottery when I got you as a mom!" May little David say the same thing to his new mommy one day and we'll all happily SHUT UP....
BRANDON DAVIS' KARMIC KICK IN THE ASS
Genetic lottery winner, Brandon Davis, grandson of the gargantuan late oil billionaire, Marvin Davis, may still have a big mouth, but he appears to be running out of dough. The perennial Paris Hilton sidekick and boorish blowhard routinely makes fun of Lindsay Lohan's privates ("firecrotch") and finances ("She's only got $7 million). Well, it appears there is a God. The unemployed, IQ challenged, alleged heir wrote a check to "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis for $10,000 and it bounced, refused because of "insufficient funds" according to "Page Six". It appears he also owes big bucks to a record producer and a casino owner.
Better watch that your always wobbly legs don't get broken in a dark alley like the common folk, Mr. Faux Rich Boy. By the way, we hear that you owe more than one young lady an IOU for your performance in the sack. It would appear Mr. Big Shot has no currency in the REAL world.
ANNA NICOLE WATCH
Day 37 and still no burial for tragic Daniel Smith. He remains in a vault drawer at the morgue in the Bahamas.
EVEN MY EX-PROFESSOR IS BARING ALL!
Seems my ex-creative writing instructor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, former Playboy Playmate Alice Denham, has penned a down and dirty tell-all book, "Sleeping With Bad Boys". The formerly sexy prof tattles that the legendary actor James Dean "was a tender and considerate lover" who was totally hung up on her 36 double D's as soon as he got a load of 'em: "You're so huge for a small girl," he told her. "Jimmy was a t--man, and he loved to nuzzle. He was so skilled." Then in a purely Elvis move, the doomed star asked the woman who I fought with for an "A": "Are you my mother? You are, I think. You look like her." Hugh Hefner chose the future prof as a playmate and proceeded to bed her during a cheesy stag movie. While Hef had "staying power and was a good ride", it was nothing personal. Because the bookish former Bunny is a former academic, she throws ex-lovers Norman Mailer and Philip Roth into the mix, lest we think she's gone Hollywood.
I vividly remember Prof. Denham disrobing during class to the delight of my cop classmates. It seems she was always hot in her sweater and needed to strip down to her undergarment to continue her ascent in the world of pedagogy. She actually outdid the original superstar stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee. I really loved this broad, though we didn't always get along. Nobody EVER slept in her class!! (Randa)
TALIBAN GOES TO POT
The Taliban are hiding behind dense, impenetrable forests of 10 ft. marijuana plants. Canadian forces report that the Taliban terrorists are using the forests for cover. Fighting bush by bush, the Canadians are taking on the unexpected and potent enemy by covering their armored vehicles with the cannabis as camouflage. It's a draw: "Far out, man!"
Now, be the FIRST to go out there and spin the down and dirty truths behind the headlines...

BRANDON DAVIS' KARMIC KICK IN THE ASS
Genetic lottery winner, Brandon Davis, grandson of the gargantuan late oil billionaire, Marvin Davis, may still have a big mouth, but he appears to be running out of dough. The perennial Paris Hilton sidekick and boorish blowhard routinely makes fun of Lindsay Lohan's privates ("firecrotch") and finances ("She's only got $7 million). Well, it appears there is a God. The unemployed, IQ challenged, alleged heir wrote a check to "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis for $10,000 and it bounced, refused because of "insufficient funds" according to "Page Six". It appears he also owes big bucks to a record producer and a casino owner.
Better watch that your always wobbly legs don't get broken in a dark alley like the common folk, Mr. Faux Rich Boy. By the way, we hear that you owe more than one young lady an IOU for your performance in the sack. It would appear Mr. Big Shot has no currency in the REAL world.
ANNA NICOLE WATCH
Day 37 and still no burial for tragic Daniel Smith. He remains in a vault drawer at the morgue in the Bahamas.
EVEN MY EX-PROFESSOR IS BARING ALL!
Seems my ex-creative writing instructor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, former Playboy Playmate Alice Denham, has penned a down and dirty tell-all book, "Sleeping With Bad Boys". The formerly sexy prof tattles that the legendary actor James Dean "was a tender and considerate lover" who was totally hung up on her 36 double D's as soon as he got a load of 'em: "You're so huge for a small girl," he told her. "Jimmy was a t--man, and he loved to nuzzle. He was so skilled." Then in a purely Elvis move, the doomed star asked the woman who I fought with for an "A": "Are you my mother? You are, I think. You look like her." Hugh Hefner chose the future prof as a playmate and proceeded to bed her during a cheesy stag movie. While Hef had "staying power and was a good ride", it was nothing personal. Because the bookish former Bunny is a former academic, she throws ex-lovers Norman Mailer and Philip Roth into the mix, lest we think she's gone Hollywood.
I vividly remember Prof. Denham disrobing during class to the delight of my cop classmates. It seems she was always hot in her sweater and needed to strip down to her undergarment to continue her ascent in the world of pedagogy. She actually outdid the original superstar stripper, Gypsy Rose Lee. I really loved this broad, though we didn't always get along. Nobody EVER slept in her class!! (Randa)
TALIBAN GOES TO POT
The Taliban are hiding behind dense, impenetrable forests of 10 ft. marijuana plants. Canadian forces report that the Taliban terrorists are using the forests for cover. Fighting bush by bush, the Canadians are taking on the unexpected and potent enemy by covering their armored vehicles with the cannabis as camouflage. It's a draw: "Far out, man!"

ANNA NICOLE'S MOTHER ALLEGES MURDER PLOT...
The Anna Nicole Smith spin just keeps spinning out of control. Now her mother, Virgie Arthur, says she believes that her grandson Daniel's death from a drug overdose may have been MURDER. The bereaved Texas grandma told Nancy Grace on CNN Headline News that she thinks the perp was in the hospital room at the time of his death. Mmm...the only folks in that room other than poor Daniel were Anna Nicole and her full service personal attorney, Howard K. Stern, who claims that he, and not Larry Birkhead, is Anna Nicole's baby daddy. Is your head spinnin' faster than the kid in the "Exorcist" yet?!
Granny "Smith", a former cop, said of Daniel's lethal overdose of methadone and antidepressants: "Somebody had to give it to him. He had to get it from somewhere." Leaving little doubt as to the Blame Name, she talked to Grace about attorney Stern marrying Anna Nicole legally and being in line to inherit her millions if anything should happen to her. "If Howard Stern marries her and she ends up dead, then who does the money go [to]? Danny's not there," Granny hypothesised.
TMZ obtained a copy of the birth certificate of Anna Nicole's daughter, Dannielynn, which names attorney Stern as the father. Her marriage to him AND legal demands from Larry Birkhead for a paternity test can't be far off.
Lions and tigers and now murder, oh, my!! We hope to resolve at least one issue next week in our podcast: "Anna Nicole Smith's Baby Daddy Revealed". Stay tuned!!
MEL GIBSON...What would Jesus do?
Eyewitnesses report that allegedly contrite alcoholic actor Mel Gibson yelled at a young man who accused him of being anti-Jewish outside a Malibu church last week: "I'm not anti-semitic. You F**CKING better apologize right now!!" The devout Christian family man allegedly pointed his finger at the young man in a menacing manner. One witness opined that the judge should have sentenced Mr. Gibson to Rageaholics Anonymous, as well as AA.
MADONNA...AT LONG LAST MADAM, HAVE YOU NO SHAME?
After strapping herself to a crucifix, straddling a human horse in bondage gear and then recreating herself as a children's book author who spreads the gospel of Kabbalah to Third World countries as a condition of a $3 million donation for education... Madonna's outdone even Madonna THIS time. Cutting threw the red tape of years on an adoption wait list, Madonna went to an orphanage and got herself a one-year old boy from the impoverished African AIDS plagued nation of Malawi. Only problem is he's not an orphan. His mom died at childbirth and his dad and granny, who love him dearly, don't have enough money to keep him. Universal outrage is building that Madonna should have waited her turn AND given money to the tot's dad to raise him in his African homeland.
If this is a publicity stunt for her new children's book coming out October 24, all we can say is retitle it: "The ABC's of staying on top for 25 years: Use your crayons, boys and girls, to copy dead sexpots, S&M mistresses, then make the transition to a new persona with a dead Madonna/whore named Evita until you slide into the revered Dr. Seuss slot as a children's author, then complete this latest incarnation with a copycat adoption of a Third World child just like Josephine Baker in the 20's with her Rainbow Tribe of 12 kids, Mia Farrow in the 60's with her brood of 13, and Angelina Jolie with her adorable Ethiopian and Cambodian adopted tots in the New Millenium."
Suggestion for your next kid's book: "Proust for Children as told in one, long unpunctuated sentence by the major domo chameleon of the 20th & 21st centuries, Madonna, call me Esther..."
GOD TRIPS CAN BE DANGEROUS...
Reuters, Kiev, Ukraine - A man shouting that God would keep him safe was mauled to death by a lioness in the Kiev zoo after he crept into the animal's enclosure, a zoo official said Monday.
The man shouted, "God will save me, if he exists," lowered himself by a rope into the enclosure, took his shoes off and went up to the lions," the official said.
"A lioness went straight for him, knocked him down and severed his carotid artery."
This Ukrainian obviously forgot to heed that Old Russian Proverb: "Pray by all means, but keep rowing to shore."

MADONNA ON AFRICAN BABY BUYING SPREE...
Continuing her copycat ways, Madonna is now one-upping Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. She's adopted a 13 month old African tot who's not even an orphan! After seeing a boost in Namibia's tourist trade after Brangelina's sojourn there for the birth of their daughter, the country of Malawi decided to be a copycat, too, and granted Madonna special dispensation for adopting little David Banda.
New York Post columnist Andrea Peyser articulated what many readers e-mailed in a story headlined: Shameless Star Buys an African Souvenir..."(Madonna) has her heart set on raping Malawi. Days ago, she lined up 12 African boys, hand selected for her scrutiny. She picked out 1 year old David to take home in her luggage...The boy selected in this freakish slave auction is no AIDS orphan. He's got a biological father, plus a granny, but was placed in an orphanage after his mother died. His family loves him. They just can't afford to keep him. If Madonna possessed a speck of sanity or shame, she would write a generous check...Madonna should nail herself on her crucifix, for real this time."
Madonna's gone too far THIS time, even by her own ever devolving standards for reinvention. There's talk that hubby Guy Ritchie is bitterly opposed to this latest publicity stunt, oops, sorry... planned adoption. He feels his wife's daughter by another man and THEIR biological child is enough to cope with in view of his wife's unceasing efforts to conquer the world and put her brand on everyone's derriere. FREE LITTLE DAVID BANDA FROM VEGANISM, KABBALA INDOCTRINATION AND MEGLOMANIA NOW!!!
ANNA NICOLE TRAPPED IN HER OWN LOONEY TOON
Now the former stripper and TrimSpa poster girl has shed another 200 pounds... her Bahamian lawyer. He's like so FIRED! Seems there were violent disagreements with Anna's personal, full-service lawyer and self-confessed "baby daddy", Howard K. Stern and her Bahamian mouthpiece Michael Scott. As Perez Hilton deduced: "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what probably happened: Anna and Howard wanted to do some shady shit and this lawyer dude would not lie!"
A lawyer who will not lie for his client? Isn't this grounds for a suit for incompetence and malfeasance?!!
MEL GIBSON INVOKES THE SODDI DEFENSE...
"Some Other Dude Did It" is the most mundane, classic defense invoked by millions of common criminals around the world when facing the music for their misdeeds. The usually imaginative and talented superstar billionaire, MEL GIBSON, showed an utter lack of originality and self-knowledge when he told ABC's Diane Sawyer in an interview aired this morning that his anti-semitic tirade the evening of his July 28 drunk driving arrest was not him talking. It was Jose Cuervo!! The Passion of the Christ director alleges that tequila was to blame for his "insane" behavior and he admitted that when drunk, he has the capacity to "murder inanimate objects", including toasters. He also went on to say that anyone who doesn't understand that what a drunk man rants and raves about is not anything that he would ever think of sober...
Oy vey, knock if off already and fess up to the WHOLE shmear, Mel. You cannot be successful in an AA program without RIGOROUS honesty. Your daddy Hutton bombarded you from the crib with his anti-semitic tirades and you had little choice. We know you love and honor your father...but grow up and think for yourself. And if you do share his views, be honest and tell the world the truth. The "truth" isn't a business decision. The truth is the truth. And by the way, your self-confessed vanity in gussying up for your mug shot speaks volumes about you, Mr, Gibson. What would Jesus do?
HOLD THE MAYO AND LETTUCE, BUT NOT THE POT...
Three Burger King workers in Los Lunas, New Mexico are in a pickle after serving two cops Whoppers sprinkled with marijuana. The hungry officers started chowing down when they noticed the meat had been sprinkled with a substance that looked like pot. A field test kit confirmed the illegal substance. The cops had the three overzealous employees for lunch...

IS MEL GIBSON RESIGNING FROM THE TALIBAN?
In a pre-taped interview schedued to be aired this Thursday and Friday on Good Morning America, Mel Gibson tells ABC's Diane Sawyer about his drunken, anti-semitic rant during his DUI arrest on July 28, 2006:
"It was just the stupid ramblings of a drunkard, you know and... I need to heal myself and to be assuring and allay the fears of others and to heal them if they had any heart wounds from something I may have said. So, this is the last thing I want to be is that kind of monster."
Duh, what kind of a mea culpa is that, Mel?! Now we know you sat at the knee of your Holocaust denying dad, Hutton Gibson, and that you learned to dislike Jews in the cradle. But grow up!! You may say it was the booze talkin' and not you. To that we say:
"A drunk man says what a sober man thinks." (Check out our All Points Bulletin podcast: "Mel Gibson's Malibu Meltdown" for the down and dirty truth...)
ANNA NICOLE TAKES PEOPLE FOR A $1 MILLION RIDE...
In yet another spectacular display of bad taste, brand new mother AND grieving mom, Anna Nicole Smith, swam full bore into a Bahamian marital charade with her full service attorney Howard K. Stern and collected big bucks. People magazine paid $1 million for pictures of the phony baloney "wedding", non-binding in every country on the face of the earth, including Lichenstein.
After the faux ceremony, the giddy couple plunged into the balmy waters off their catamaran and ruined their perfectly pressed formal wedding attire. No word if the rental company is suing. After the guests toasted the couple with some mid-range champagne and apple cider, the wedding party enjoyed a lavish buffet of Kentucky Fried Chicken, complete with biscuits and gravy!!
It appears that a baby of uncertain paternity and a dead son proved to be more of a lucrative career move for Anna Nicole than marrying an 89 year old billionaire cadaver. The cash register keeps ringing. First, she sold the last photos of her late 20 year old son to the tabloids for over $600,000, and now she's cashed in for a cool million with the sale of photos of her non-wedding. Meanwhile, this Mother of the Year is accused of being a methadone addict who entered drug rehab in her 7th month of gestation. Her ex-lover Larry Birkhead also alleges the former stripper gave birth to a methadone addicted baby. Coincidentally, her son's autopsy revealed he died from a drug overdose of Zoloft and Methadone. His system had more than 7x the normal dosage of both drugs. Next stop: Mother Rehab?
TRUMP RAGS ON ANGELINA
That self-anointed arbiter of beauty and filial devotion, real estate maven Donald Trump pronounced reigning sex queen Angelina Jolie unattractive and a lousy daughter. Talking about Jolie's estrangement from her father, he told CNN's Larry King last night:
"Well, look, number one, I know her father. Her father is a nice guy. I think she treats him like a dog but maybe they have some kind of a thing. I think he's a great actor and she just treats him terribly. She's been with so many guys she makes me look like a baby, OK, with the other side. And, I just don't even find her attractive."
A meglomaniacal, billionaire global brand obviously can shoot from the hip with little or no introspection and get away with it. First off, being a great actor does not make one a great father. Her dad Jon Voight was a married man (like Trump), when he cheated on his wife quite publicly (like Trump), and caused much pain to his children. Jolie remembers watching the Oscars with her mother and brother with little food in the house as her nominee father paraded his girlfriend before the cameras. (What a great guy!) She vowed she would never let that kind of betrayal be part of her life when she grew up. Word is that she did not become intimate with Brad Pitt until his divorce papers were signed. Their daughter Shiloh was born 9 months later. Mr. Trump obviously has amnesia when it comes to his own behavior. And who cares if he finds Jolie attractive, his attentions would be better placed at finding himself a new hair stylist!

CHANGE OF PACE? PARIS TAKES FIST IN THE MOUTH!!
Skanky hotel heiress/amateur porn star Paris Hilton took a closed fist punch to the jaw from former Miss USA Shanna Moakler hours after the celebrity gossip website TMZ posted a video of Hilton making out with Moakler's estranged husband, former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker at a crowded nightclub.
In a further display of "High School Antics 101", as Paris recoiled in pain amid some foul language from the beauty queen's mouth, the heiress' ex-boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos pounced on the Playboy Playmate/"Dancing with the Stars" loser Moakler, bent back her wrists and poured a drink over her.
Paris and Moakler raced to the local police station to file charges against each other. No arrests have been made pending further investigation.
Paris would you please give Angelina and Madonna a call and get your ass to a Third World orphanage. Supporting the extended families of the paparazzi does not count as philanthropy on the world stage!
MOM PUTS MUZZLE ON PARIS' SKANKY MOUTH
The New York Post reports that: "Paris tells the new issue of Blender that she refused to perform oral sex on boyfriends until she was 19 because her mother told her it would leave her with 'holes in your face and craters...I totally believed her.' Paris said one of her boyfriends finally set her straight: 'He's like, Paris, you're 19. You're allowed to do this.' I've only done that with maybe three people in my life.' But one was on video."
How's that for filial wisdom?!! In the jetsetter world, it's not about morality, but looks and money. Now that she's safely past 19, how about charging and building up your blue chip stocks, Paris...Oops, sorry, you ALREADY did that!!
ANNA NICOLE: "THAT'S ALL FOLKS"...NOT!!
In the "Looney Toon" that keeps giving, the saga of alleged pill popper and diet pill peddler Anna Nicole Smith took another stomach turning twist. With her son's body still unburied and in the morgue 18 days after his death, photos of the grieving mother posing sexily in the warm Bahamian waters with her new unofficial hubby, personal full-service lawyer Howard K. Stern appeared in the media yesterday. The former Texas stripper and widow of an 89-year old cadaver celebrated the "commitment ceremony" by diving off a 41-foot catamaran just two weeks after the caesarean birth of her daughter by father unknown. She's reportedly come down with a post-operative infection from this witless misadventure. Meanwhile, in addition to Howard K. Stern and Larry Birkhead each claiming to be the baby's father, a third man has come forward saying the baby's his spawn...
Anna Nicole is the epitome of just how shallow the standards are for today's media stars. A gal with God given looks, an 8th grade education, an audacity reserved for the truly IQ challenged and a way with a stripper's pole & a doddering, decaying billionaire oilman rules the print & electronic media ad nauseum. We gave her the benefit of some well-placed doubt unntil she sold the last photos of her and her late son for over half a million dollars, hurriedly "married" her lawyer, proclaiming him her "baby daddy" and then posed seductively, smiling from ear to ear in some cheesecake photos she knew would go around the world while her beloved son is still in a cold, crypt drawer at the morgue. A class act is a class act...LOW CLASS forever...
WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE...A NEWLY MINTED PAIR OF 40 DOUBLE D'S...
There's a boob bandit on the loose in Germany who got her breasts surgically enlarged and then fled the clinic without paying. In an effort to recoup his $10,000 fee, the doctor has published a five column picture of the woman's naked breasts in what has to be the most unique wanted police poster ever!!

Stern and Larry Birkhead each claiming to be the baby's father, a third man has come forward saying the baby's his spawn...
Anna Nicole is the epitome of just how shallow the standards are for today's media stars. A gal with God given looks, an 8th grade education, an audacity reserved for the truly IQ challenged and a way with a stripper's pole & a doddering, decaying billionaire oilman rules the print & electronic media ad nauseum. We gave her the benefit of some well-placed doubt unntil she sold the last photos of her and her late son for over half a million dollars, hurriedly "married" her lawyer, proclaiming him her "baby daddy" and then posed seductively, smiling from ear to ear in some cheesecake photos she knew would go around the world while her beloved son is still in a cold, crypt drawer at the morgue. A class act is a class act...LOW CLASS forever...

PASTOR JOE DISTRACTED BY THOUGHTS OF JESSICA'S...
That ultimate stage parent from hell, former youth pastor Joe Simpson, must've been thinkin' of something real alluring. He drove his Ferrari into a staircase railing shortly after leaving a salon in Beverly Hills. Like any man as guilty as sin, Pastor Joe drove off before he thought anyone noticed.
This guy's a piece of work. Check him out in this week's blog and podcast about stage parents from hell. Pastor Joe has an unhealthy interest in Jessica's God given endowments, and brags to anyone who'll listen about her double D's and the fact that he fit her for her first bra! When he hit that railing, what was he thinking...
MR. PRESIDENT, YOU AIN'T NOTHIN' BUT A HORNDOG
Ashton Kutcher told TV host Jay Leno last night about the time he and his wife Demi Moore met the 42nd President of the United States: "Clinton was the only President I ever met, but it was like I wasn't there. HE WAS HITTING ON MY WIFE!"
Ah, if the Prez only would have been so single-minded in his pursuit of Osama Bin Laden, he could've nailed HIM in the Sudan in the early 90's...
ANNA NICOLE: THE PLOT SICKENS...
Photographer Larry Birkhead, who is duking it out in court with Anna Nicole Smith's full service, personal attorney Howard K. Stern, for the honor of being called the TrimSpa Queen's baby daddy, in an exclusive interview yesterday with MSNBC's Rita Cosby made some stunning, new allegations about his former lady love. Birkhead says that Anna Nicole has a methadone addiction, and he fears the baby was born damaged. In addition to a paternity test, he's also demanding that the baby be tested for drugs. He accuses attorney Stern of supplying Anna Nicole with methadone. A sad footnote: Her son Daniel's autopsy revealed he died from a lethal combination of methadone and antidepressants.
Anna Nicole's taste for drugs may be back again and her taste in men is definitely up her childhood. Her own no-good daddy left early and well, you can figure out the rest...
BRITNEY'S BABY DADDY A NO SHOW AT HOME
Kevin Federline is still in the running for lousiest father ever. After leaving his girlfriend actress Shar Jackson with their two toddlers for Britney Spears, he married the songstress diva and immediately produced two heirs to HER pop dynasty, insuring HIS financial future. According to "Page Six", the wannabe rapper is up to his old, bad boy ways, leaving his wife and two babies, ages 3 weeks and one-year at home in Malibu, while he chartered a private jet with his buddies for a wild weekend in his beloved Las Vegas. While he boozed it up and party-ed in Sin City, we saw Britney shlepping her two adorable tots around Malibu with the obligatory pit stop at Starbuck's.
Brit, you need more than a jolt of java to keep you going. You need a major rush of reality to get rid of this moocher. While doling out unearned gifts to your hubby, how 'bout getting K-Fed one he deserves... a vasectomy for Christmas. Now that would truly bring joy to the world!!
A BOOB JOB (NOT K-FED) SAVES A LIFE!!
An Israeli woman's breast implants saved her life when she was wounded in a Hezbollah rocket attack during Israel's war with the Lebanese group. Doctors found shrapnel embedded in the silicone implants, just inches from the 24 year old's heart.
A silicone shield against the sword of Damocles...now that's something those folks in the Old Testament NEVER though of!!

ANNA NICOLE SMITH'S SON DIED OF DRUG RELATED CAUSES...
Cyril Wecht, the independent pathologist hired by Anna Nicole to determine the cause of her son Daniel's death announced his findings yesterday. It appears young Daniel died of a "tragic, accidental drug related death. Methadone and two antidepressants.
Zoloft and Lexapro, had a lethal cumulative affect on the central nervous system that stopped his heart."
Anna Nicole's personal lawyer of many years, Howard K. Stern, announced on The Larry King Show on CNN Tuesday night that newspaper accounts of Daniel's death were incorrect. It seems as dawn approached, Daniel slipped into Anna Nicole's bed to keep her company and fell asleep. Ann Nicole awoke to find him not breathing. She screamed for help. But it was too late, the hospital staff could not revive him. She insisted on trying to bring him back to life and had to be sedated. She fell to her knees sobbing: "Oh, Jesus. Please don't take him, take me."
One gets the sad impression from the King interview that Anna Nicole is so grief stricken that she can't bury him just yet. He died on September 10, his body was released last week, but remains in the coroner's morgue.
In a surprise revelation, the lawyer, Howard K. Stern said he, and not photographer Larry Birkhead, is the father of Smith's newborn daughter, Danilynne Hope, named in honor of her late son. Birkhead is demanding a paternity test.
You gotta say Mr. Stern is a full service attorney.

CELEBRITY LIVES CAN MAKE ANYONE'S HEAD SPIN...
Courtney Love inspires Whitney Houston NOT to quit a minute before the miracle?!!
Could the bad girl rocker be the sponsor and inspiration behind Whitney's about face? According to Perez Hilton, "Courtney Love has been to hell and back and the rock legend is using her survivor status to help fellow embattled singer Whitney Houston. Courtney and Whitney have forged a new friendship and it is with the help of Kurt Cobain's widow and Bobby Brown's soon-to-be former wife kicked drugs (as reported in this week's Us Weekly)."
Wow, do we want this item to be TRUE. One day at a time, girls. The highest high is in helping others, just ask Angelina!
Things are never what they seem...The coroner in the case of Anna Nicole Smith's tragic son Daniel got a pink slip yesterday, and it looks unlikely that a coroner's inquest will EVER be convened. According to today's NY POST, the spin offered by the Bahama's Chief Judge Roger Gomez goes something like this: "Partly because of the Anna Nicole Smith case, a number of persons have complained to the court how this case is being heard in such a short period of time (Oct 23). We are trying to get rid of a backlog." The Chief Judge seems to be challenging his fired coroner's initial findings, saying: "So far they (Anna Nicole's own pathologist Cyril Wecht, et al) have not been able to determine a cause of death. If the reports state it's natural causes, there will be no need for an inquest."
Celebrities are different than you & me. They can: (a) get justice quicker than anyone else, (2) delay justice indefinitely, (3) escape justice totally. Who knows what really cause young Daniel's death. Some theories: he took a combination of legally prescribed and over-the-counter drugs that were lethal, it was an undiagnosed heart problem or aneurysm. A young man dies in a hospital room while visiting his mother and is discovered when it's too late. Fact is stranger than fiction. There are reports that Anna Nicole is sedated most of the time, but in her waking moments, she keeps repeating: "I can't believe my baby's gone." No matter what one thinks of the public Anna Nicole, deepest, heartfelt condolences go out to the mother on the loss of her precious son.
Liz Taylor gives the middle finger to old age & poor health! According to the British tabloid, the Daily Mail, the 8 times married 74-year old movie legend and perfume tycoon left her wheelchair and "donned a mask and snorkel, and plunged feet first into the Pacific Ocean for a shark-viewing expedition. Later describing the experience as the 'most exciting thing' she's ever done." Never-say-die Elizabeth gamely went into a lO ft. x 6 ft. Plexiglas cage and was lowered into shark infested waters.
In this youth besotted culture, never ever count a feisty old broad out. Some people see challenges as stumbling blocks, while others see them as stepping stones. It's never too late or too early to make your choice and own your dream.

Mourning Mom Sells Out Before Rites
The NY POST reports that Anna Nicole Smith's 20 year old son Daniel was taking antidepressants after a heartbreaking split with his girlfriend. He died September 10 in his mother's hospital room in Nassau, the Bahamas while visiting her and his newborn sister. A producer on Anna Nicole's last movie, Illegal Alien, reported that Daniel was hospitalized with an irregular heartbeat during the filming, according to Fox entertainment reporter Dorothy Lucey. The mystery into his death after uncontrollably coughing up blood and vomit deepens with conflicting pathologists' findings: Anna Nicole's independent investigator says after his autopsy of young Smith that he hasn't detetmined the cause of death. The local coroner told TMZ less than a week before that she was certain what killed him.
Meanwhile, according to TMZ: "Representatives for Anna Nicole Smith have wrangled more than $600,000 from the glossies and TV outlets for pictures taken of Daniel Smith and his mother and baby half-sister just before his death hours later."
Anna Nicole was reportedly inconsolable after her son's death and had to be sedated. As a teenage mom, she and Daniel had a close bond and grew up together. He remained steadfastly loving, and a little bit embarrassed during her wild drug use, public battles with weight and a lengthy court battle for her share of the estate of her late 89-year old tycoon husband. How does a grief stricken mother negotiate a deal for her late son's images before the funeral is even scheduled? Maybe we're downright antediluvian...
Howard Stern might be finding out that conventional wisdom is just that: Folks don't want to pay for something they're used to getting for free. The NY POST reports that since Stern left terrestial radio at CBS for pay radio ($13 a month subscriptions) and a $500 million deal at Sirius last January, "traffic to Stern's Web site was down a whopping 71 percent and his search-engine action plunged 90 percent."
Maybe the model to look to is the Internet with its video and audio podcasts. Advertising revenues fuel most enterprises, not paid subscriptions. TO REPEAT, PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR WHAT THEY'RE USED TO GETTING FOR FREE, even if you are the self-proclaimed "King of All Media".
The British newspaper, Daily Mail, reports that, "Brad Pitt has been lined up to replace Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible film. It is a move that will make Pitt the highest paid actor in Hollywood history. Paramount Pictures, the company behind the franchise, ended their long-running partnership with Cruise and is planning to install Pitt in the lead role."
The morality tale here: careful whose couch you jump on and which new mother you criticize for post-partum depression...
