HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW (10-21-09)

CHECK OUT A-ROD FEELING UP DEREK JETER:

Sometimes during the playoffs, baseball players let their emotions get away from them. I think that's what happened in the Yankee dugout during Monday night's game against the Angels.

At least, that's the best excuse I can find for ALEX RODRIGUEZ grabbing a handful of DEREK JETER'S right butt-cheek. (--Here's a picture . . .)

DAVE CHAPPELLE ALMOST BROKE A STANDUP COMEDY RECORD . . . BUT HE BLEW IT BECAUSE HE HAD TO PEE:

DAVE CHAPPELLE and DANE COOK have a rivalry going at a comedy club called The Laugh Factory in Los Angeles. They keep trying to top each other for the record of the longest standup set. --Cook currently holds the record of SEVEN HOURS AND 34 MINUTES.

Chappelle tried to break that record on Sunday . . . but NATURE threw him a curve. --Five hours into his routine, Chappelle's bladder shrunk. And the urge was too great to ignore. Chappelle left the stage to pee, and was officially DISQUALIFIED.

Club owner Jamie Masada took some heat from the audience, but he says, quote, "There are only two rules: You have to continuously tell jokes that are funny and you can't leave the stage, even to go to the bathroom."

(--RICHARD PRYOR set the original record of two hours and 41 minutes back in 1980. That held until 2007, when Cook logged a three-hour, 50-minute set.) (--Chappelle almost doubled the record with a six-hour, seven-minute routine . . . but Cook regained the title last year.)


MICHAEL JACKSON RANDOMS:

#1.) DR. CONRAD MURRAY . . . the final medical caregiver of MICHAEL JACKSON . . . is in a bind. He's behind more than $13,000 on his child support payments, and the cops might be coming after him soon over it.

But because of his newfound infamy, he can't earn any money to pay it back. He's asking the court to let him make, quote, "minimal payments" until he can find a steady job.--In documents filed last week, he says he's, quote, "temporarily unable to maintain a practice or obtain employment because of the extensive media coverage related to the death of Michael Jackson."

#2.) KATHERINE, LA TOYA and JERMAINE JACKSON appeared on "Dancing With the Stars" last night, for their tribute to Michael.

La Toya even introduced the segment, which included the show's professional dancers doing a routine to some of Michael's classics, including "Man in the Mirror" and "Thriller".


NEW MOON!!

#1.) If you're still hungry for "New Moon" footage, a tiny bit more was released yesterday. (--Kristen Stewart slaps a dude, who gets mad and turns into a werewolf. But before he can tear her apart, Taylor Lautner turns into a werewolf himself to protect her. That's where the clip ends, but we assume fur commences to fly. Here's the clip . . .)

TV RANDOMS

-- The last episode of TLC's "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" . . . which airs next Monday . . . will be turned into a one-hour special called "You Ask, Kate Answers". --It's what it sounds like: Kate will spend an hour answering fan-submitted questions about "life, the show, and moving on."

-- Beginning next Friday, the Weather Channel will be supplementing their usual, boring programming with MOVIES. All the movies will be "weather-themed" or "have plots in which weather plays a key role." -The first movie is "The Perfect Storm". Subsequent ones will be the documentary, "March of the Penguins" . . . the thriller, "Deep Blue Sea" . . . and the KATHY BATES horror flick, "Misery". (???) (--It has a snowstorm in it.)
