HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (10-19-09)
MILEY IN THE CITY
The rumors were true: MILEY CYRUS really does have a cameo in "Sex and the City 2". They actually filmed the scene on Friday. It involves Miley and KIM CATTRALL'S character, Samantha, showing up at a movie premiere in the same outfit.(--Here are some pictures . . .)
THE CAST OF "CELEBRITY APPRENTICE" HAS BEEN CONFIRMED . . . UNOFFICIALLY:
NBC still hasn't announced the cast of the third season of "Celebrity Apprentice" . . . which will air early next year. But it was essentially confirmed late last week, when the cast was spotted in New York City, shooting a promo for the show.
The "stars" that were there included: Cyndi Lauper, Poison singer Bret Michaels, former baseball star Darryl Strawberry, actress Holly Robinson Peete, Sharon Osbourne, disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich . . . . . . Sinbad, comedienne Carol Leifer, Australian chef Curtis Snow, WWE wrestler Maria Kanellis, former WWE wrestler Bill Goldberg, former Olympic swimmer Summer Sanders, and model Selita Ebanks. (--Here are some pictures . . .)
THE JO BRO'S BOUNCE!
The JONAS BROTHERS . . . along with DEMI LOVATO and others . . . have created a bizarre dance video spoof. It's pretty annoying, for adults at least, but over 1.2 million teenagers have watched it since Friday.

STEPHANIE PRATT FROM "THE HILLS" GOT A DUI:
STEPHANIE PRATT from "The Hills" got a DUI early yesterday morning. (--Stephanie is the sister of Spencer.)
Cops nailed Stephanie at about 3:45 A.M. She had been out partying until about 3:00 A.M., celebrating the birthday of fellow reality "star" HOLLY MONTAG. (--Holly is the sister of that A-hole Spencer's wife Heidi.)
A police spokesman says, quote, "It was your basic DUI. Our traffic officers driving down the street spotted her and pulled her over. She was cooperative and there were no issues with her arrest." --Stephanie . . . who's 23 years old . . . ended up spending a few hours in lockup. She was released on $5,000 bail at 10:00 A.M. yesterday.
Here's some irony for you: On Saturday night, before she hit the clubs, Stephanie spoke with E! News. --And she said, quote, "I'm a party-pooper tonight. I got bad news this morning. A friend passed away in a car accident, so everyone needs to drive safe."
Hair was a big seller at two different auctions over the weekend. First, a clump of hair that was shaved off ELVIS PRESLEY'S head when he joined the army in 1958 sold for $15,000 at an auction in Chicago.
At the same time, at an auction in London, 12 strands of hair that were burned off MICHAEL JACKSON'S head during the filming of that Pepsi commercial in 1984 went for $2,000.

MADONNA is being sued by a neighbor in her Central Park apartment building . . . because she allegedly turned her own apartment into a dance studio. --The lawsuit says, quote, "Madonna and one or more of her invited guests repeatedly dance and train . . . to unreasonably high-decibel, amplified music, causing noise and vibration to pour through the walls, ceilings and radiators."
LINDSAY LOHAN'S PROBATION HAS BEEN EXTENDED A YEAR:
LINDSAY LOHAN showed up in a Beverly Hills courtroom yesterday, as she had been ordered to . . . and was greeted with the news that her DUI probation has been extended by a year. --The reason Lindsay's presence was required was because she had been missing too many of her court-ordered alcohol education classes.
Her attorney told the judge that Lindsay was busy with work commitments . . . and had accidentally failed to notify her alcohol education instructors that she was out of state filming a movie and would resume classes when she got back.
After the judge tacked another year onto Lindsay's probation . . . (--Which was originally supposed to last three years) . . . she told her to get court approval the next time she leaves L.A. for work. --She also warned Lindsay that she could be looking at JAIL TIME if she messes up again.
WILLIAM SHATNER ACCEPTED A "STAR TREK" AWARD AT SPIKE TV'S "SCREAM AWARDS":
Spike TV's annual "Scream Awards" taped over the weekend . . . (--They'll air a week from tomorrow) . . . and not surprisingly, a lot of the awards went to VAMPIRES, thanks to "Twilight" and "True Blood".
But it was a non-vampire LEGEND who provided the show's big moment. --As you know, a mini-war broke out earlier this year between WILLIAM SHATNER and J.J. ABRAMS . . . after the two of them failed to agree on a way to incorporate Shatner into J.J.'s new "Star Trek" movie. --Well, when "Star Trek" won the top award . . . which is called the Ultimate Scream Award . . . it was THE SHAT who accepted. --He said, quote, "J.J., I'll handle this." Then he added, quote, "This movie was big. Imagine how big it could have been with me in it? . . . I'll be waiting for your call."
J.J. also won Best Director. (--It's not clear if J.J. was actually at the show. We were unable to find a news report that addressed that particular detail. Yay, journalism!!!) (???) --MEGAN FOX . . . who won Best Sci Fi Actress for "Transformers 2" . . . used her acceptance speech as an opportunity to set the record straight about her feelings toward the franchise, director MICHAEL BAY and the film crew.
She said, quote, "I just want to be very clear that I've always felt that I am a very ordinary part of an extraordinary film. These movies took me out of obscurity and they gave me a career and I am completely grateful to everyone involved with this franchise." --Other winners included "Watchmen", for Best Comic Book Movie and "Drag Me to Hell" for Best Horror Movie. --ROLLING STONES guitarist KEITH RICHARDS got the Rock Immortal Award . . . which was given to him by JOHNNY DEPP.
And GEORGE ROMERO . . . director of "Night of the Living Dead" and its many sequels . . . was presented with the Scream Mastermind Lifetime Achievement Award by QUENTIN TARANTINO.
TLC HAS SUED JON GOSSELIN FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT:
TLC has sued JON GOSSELIN for breach of contract . . . a move that seemed inevitable ever since Jon banned the network from continuing to film "Jon and Kate Plus Eight", or any other show involving his eight children.
But TLC's lawsuit, which was filed Friday, isn't going after Jon for demanding that production be shut down. The "breach of contract" involves all the TV interviews Jon has done recently, which have been done without their consent.
TLC also released a statement . . . saying, quote, "The network has been trying privately and patiently for months to get Jon to honor the contract he signed and to comply with his obligations relating to public appearances and statements.
"Those efforts have been unsuccessful." --The lawsuit asks that Jon be ordered to adhere to his contract with TLC . . . and to give the network any money he made from interviews on other networks' shows. -RadarOnline claims that TLC knows how much Jon has been raking in from those "media appearances" . . . and those numbers could come out at some point. --The site also claims that TLC is asking for damages as well, for defamation. Jon, of course, has repeatedly bashed TLC and "Jon & Kate Plus Eight" in those interviews. --By the way, there's talk that Jon has been trying to land a gig as an "awards show presenter." Supposedly, he's contacted the producers of at least two shows . . . and he even dropped his asking price from $30,000 to . . . NOTHING. As enticing as that must be . . . . . . he hasn't drawn any interest yet.
JON GOSSELIN'S LAWYER RESPONDS TO TLC'S LAWSUIT:
JON GOSSELIN'S lawyer, Mark Heller, calls TLC's breach of contract lawsuit against him, quote, "weak, feeble and baseless."
He also claims that the "exclusive" contract TLC claims they have with Jon is unlawful, because it violates his First Amendment rights. --He adds, quote, "TLC has treated Jon Gosselin like a dog by attempting to keep him on a leash and muzzle him and deny the father of eight an opportunity to earn a livelihood to support his family."
Heller also said that Jon was not properly served with the lawsuit . . . instead, he says they found out about it ON THE INTERNET. --He says, quote, "TLC chose to pander and publicize their [claim] to the media rather than providing [us] with appropriate notice through the traditional judicial process.
"Jon will vigorously defend against this baseless action . . . and we are confident that through the course of litigation it will clearly be evident that TLC exploited, manipulated and abused the Gosselins' vulnerability and financial hardship." --According to RadarOnline, Jon's "exclusive" contract with TLC runs through February of next year . . . and at that point, TLC holds an option to extend it.
But Heller says it's already void . . . quote, "When TLC ended 'Jon and Kate Plus Eight', they also effectively terminated the purported contract. --"Any rights or obligations they perceived existed concerning Jon's conduct or actions, rights or privileges from that point forward were also terminated."
THE TYSON / HOLYFIELD MEETING WENT DOWN ON "OPRAH" . . . AND NO BLOOD WAS SPILLED:
As expected, MIKE TYSON and EVANDER HOLYFIELD were reunited on "Oprah" Friday . . . and it seems like they've put the ear-biting incident behind them. --Tyson had been on "Oprah" earlier in the week . . . and it was then that he said he'd like to meet Holyfield face-to-face and apologize for biting off a piece of his ear during a fight in 1997. And because Oprah wanted it to happen . . . it happened.
Tyson said that his initial apology was insincere, and wanted to express an honest apology. But . . . intentionally or not . . . he seemed to stop short of an actual apology, while instead talking about how awesome Holyfield is.
He said, quote, "This is a beautiful guy. I just want you to know it's just been a pleasure . . . being acquainted with you." Holyfield accepted Mike's kind-of apology . . . and added, quote, "You talk about biting. I'm the person that bit every brother in my family."
(--Here's video of the "apology" and the two of them shaking hands . . .)http://www.oprah.com/media/20091016-tows-mike-tyson-apologize(--And here's a video where Tyson whines about how Holyfield hasn't seemed to want to talk to him ever since he bit off a piece of his ear . . .)http://www.oprah.com/media/20091016-tows-tyson-holyfield-leery
