HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW
TIGER WOODS WAS A CHEAPSKATE TO HIS SIDE-ACTION:
Here's another revelation from the "Vanity Fair" article: TIGER WOODS was a cheapskate. At least when it came to his side-action. --MINDY LAWTON claims the only thing he ever bought for her was a chicken wrap from Subway . . . and JAMIE JUNGERS says her relationship with him ended because he refused to help her financially. --Two women DID profit from their relationships with him, though. Alleged madam MICHELLE BRAUN got 15-grand from Tiger for hooking him up with "Playboy" model LOREDANA JOLIE FERRIOLO. --And Loredana got to go on a $15,000 shopping spree on Tiger's dime.
TIGER WOODS' DAD WAS A WOMANIZER AND A DRUNK:
"Vanity Fair" also goes after Tiger's dad, EARL WOODS . . . calling him a womanizer and a drunk. And they say he made an ugly scene one time at a Father of the Year banquet. --The magazine says, quote, "Everybody was in coat and tie, and Earl's sitting there in these little hot pants . . . short-shorts . . . and a golf shirt, and he's got a big old vodka gimlet going and a cigarette burning, and he's sound asleep, just hammered. --"And the announcer says, 'Ladies and gentlemen, Earl Woods!' And he jumped up, spilled his drink all over the front of his shirt . . . And he gets up there at the podium and starts talking psychobabble."
JESSE JAMES WILL STAY IN REHAB FOR 45 DAYS:
RadarOnline.com says that JESSE JAMES will spend 45 days in rehab . . . at a cost of about $60,000. --Jesse is receiving treatment for his RESTLESS GROIN SYNDROME at Sierra Tucson in Arizona . . . the same facility TIGER WOODS went to after he left that other clinic in Mississippi. --But it may be too late for him to win back SANDRA BULLOCK. A so-called "source" says, quote, "Sandra didn't care about Jesse's promise to get help. --"She's so devastated that he's been cheating on her, and cheating for so long and with so many different women. Who knows what he's exposed her too? But his actions exploded her world." --Another source added, quote, "It's a little late, don't you think? He lied to her for years and then when he got caught he was suddenly willing to get treatment."
IS SANDRA BULLOCK BLAMING HERSELF FOR HER HUSBAND'S CHEATING???
Nobody's blaming SANDRA BULLOCK for what JESSE JAMES did to her. Except maybe Sandra. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "When a marriage ends, no matter what the circumstances, you always ask yourself, 'What could I have done differently?' That is exactly what Sandra is doing right now. --"Sandra feels like she failed. Like she was away from home too much filming instead of being a stay-at-home wife."
SANDRA BULLOCK WAS FINALLY SEEN IN PUBLIC YESTERDAY:
SANDRA BULLOCK was finally seen in public yesterday . . . although no photographers got a clean shot of her --Sandra took a trip to the home of an investment manager and family friend by the name of Gabriel Brener. Nobody knows why she went there. --But her presence created a HUGE scene. A witness says, quote, "Everyone was crowding around the car and being very aggressive. The car even went back inside of the gate at one point because they couldn't leave without hitting the paps." (--You can see pictures of Sandra covering her face with a big-ass hat here . . .) http://www.radaronline.com/photos/image/55509/2010/03/sandra-surfaces(--And here's video . . .)http://www.radaronline.com/videos#/75328103001
KIM KARDASHIAN HAS MOVED OUT OF THE HOUSE SHE WAS SHARING WITH REGGIE BUSH:
KIM KARDASHIAN has moved out of the $5.1 million home in the Hollywood Hills that she shared with REGGIE BUSH over the past eight months. --Her new home will be a Beverly Hills mansion she bought recently. --Still, a source says, quote, "Kim's not heartbroken. Her attitude's healthy. They split for a while, then they tried their best to make it work again. It didn't work. They remain friends."
GLORIA ALLRED IS NOW APPARENTLY A HYPE-WOMAN FOR THE MISTRESSES OF FAMOUS GUYS:
It's been ridiculous and transparent the way that attorney GLORIA ALLRED has jumped onto the coattails of all these skanks who've had sex with married celebrities. But she may have just hit a new low. --Gloria is now representing January Gessert . . . the woman who was seen leaving REGGIE BUSH'S house early one morning last month. --The thing is, nobody's really talking about January Gessert anymore. The press had a really quick affair with her . . . then Reggie denied they were anything but friends . . . and she just sort of disappeared back into the woodwork. --Well, she's back . . . thanks to a press conference that she and Gloria held yesterday. --The stated purpose of the press conference was to fend off the allegations that hardly anyone is making anymore. --But in truth, it was a very obvious attempt to hype January's MUSIC CAREER. And the person doing most of the hyping was . . . GLORIA ALLRED. --No joke. After briefly getting those pesky affair rumors out of the way, Gloria proceeded to announce to the world January's stage name, the name of her new group AND her web address. (???) (--If Gloria Allred had any cred left, she blew it on these mistresses. Check out the SHAMELESS video . . .) http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b174347_reggie_bushs_alleged_other_woman.htmlJENNIFER

ANISTON SAYS WE SHOULD STOP EATING (CRAP) EVERY DAY:
JENNIFER ANISTON has some health and beauty advice for us . . . quote, "Just stop eating (crap) all day." (--Of course, she didn't say "crap". She used the S-word.) --That doesn't mean Jennifer is a complete health nut. She says, quote, "Look, I eat really well and I work out, but I also indulge when I want to. --"I don't starve myself in an extremist way. You're not taking away my coffee or my dairy or my glass of wine because I'd be devastated." --She also admits she'd be open to Botox because, quote, "These lines are getting deeper every day."
IS HEIDI MONTAG GOING TO HAVE A BIGGER CAREER THAN LINDSAY LOHAN???
At one point, LINDSAY LOHAN had the potential to become a huge movie star. Very few people were betting against that. --Then she became a COMPLETE WRECK. And now, almost nobody is betting FOR it. --One anonymous Hollywood casting director says, quote, "Lindsay hasn't worked for a long time, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It's very hard to get her insurance and no studio or director is going to hire her without it." --The casting director adds, quote, "At this point, HEIDI MONTAG is likely to make more movies than Lindsay Lohan." (--As frightening as that sounds, it's actually on its way to happening. Heidi was recently cast in a movie called "Just Go With It". Her co-stars are JENNIFER ANISTON, ADAM SANDLER and NICOLE KIDMAN.)
SHOWDOWN: "SAW 7" VERSUS "PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2":
If "Paranormal Activity 2" is anywhere near the huge sensation that the first movie was last fall, there's a chance that it could put an end to the sinking "Saw" series. --That's because . . . as of right now . . . "Paranormal Activity 2" is scheduled to hit theaters on October 22nd, the same day that "Saw 7" opens. Box office showdown! --Last year, the original "Paranormal Activity" was in its fourth week of release when it met the premiere of "Saw 6" on October 25th. "Paranormal", which was riding an incredible wave of momentum, still topped "Saw" $21.1 million to $14.1 million. --The "Saw" franchise has been on the decline at the box office since "Saw 2" came out in 2005. But "Saw 7" will be the first movie in the series to be 3-D. (--"Paranormal Activity 2" will not be in 3-D.)
"THE EXPENDABLES" TRAILER IS ONLINE:
A trailer for the "The Expendables" is online. This is the new SYLVESTER STALLONE movie, which also features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Steve Austin.

KAL PENN IS BACK FROM WASHINGTON . . . AND READY TO RETURN TO "HAROLD & KUMAR":
A year ago, KAL PENN left Hollywood to take a job with the OBAMA administration. Kal took a one-year position as the associate director of the White House Office of Public Engagement. Well, his term is just about up. --According to Deadline.com, he'll resume his acting career this summer . . . when he begins filming the third "Harold & Kumar" movie. --All we know for now is that it'll be Christmas-themed . . . and will likely hit theaters either in December of 2011 or December 2012.
JAY LENO IS STILL INSISTING THAT NBC SCREWED *HIM* JUST AS MUCH AS THEY SCREWED CONAN O'BRIEN:
On Tuesday, JAY LENO gave JOY BEHAR a behind the scenes interview before she appeared on "The Tonight Show". (--In addition to "The View", Joy also has her own show on HLN. This interview was for that show.) --Naturally, she brought up CONAN O'BRIEN . . . and Jay went on his typical rant about how NBC's Late-Night Mess was just as hard on HIM as it was on Conan. --He said, quote, "Conan got screwed . . . I got screwed. I mean, this is TV. The reason show business pays a lot of money is so when you get screwed you have something left over. --"Conan was treated terribly, and I was treated terribly . . . and I think Conan will come back and he'll be strong, and we'll all compete against one another. --"It should be me against [DAVID] LETTERMAN, against Conan, against [JIMMY] KIMMEL, and then you see who wins." --Joy took that opportunity to ask about that HILARIOUS incident when Kimmel ambushed Jay on his own show . . . but Jay skirted the question. --He said, quote, "All comics are friends, [but] when you go on stage your job is to blow the other guys off the stage. I get it. That's the way it works. --"You don't impede somebody else's opportunity, but when you go out there that's what you do." (--Of course, that's exactly what Leno DID do . . . "impede on somebody else's opportunity." Not that he would admit to that or anything.) (--You can find video of this "interview" at the link below. It's brief, but as you can tell . . . Leno is hell-bent on sticking to the same script that he used for his interview on "Oprah" and elsewhere. You can skip forward to the 1:20 mark.) http://joybehar.blogs.cnn.com/2010/03/31/behind-the-scenes-with-joy-at-the-tonight-show/

The episode is scheduled to air on April 25th. (--Mayim has a recurring role on the show playing a therapist, who's a fictionalized version of herself.) --Tragically, however, JOEY LAWRENCE wasn't available. So, instead, they've cast some random actor to play the role of, quote, "fake Joey." (???)
THE DISNEY CHANNEL IS DOING A "HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL" SPIN-OFF:
Shocking News: The Disney Channel isn't willing to send their "High School Musical" cash cow out to pasture yet.

But there's a chance he could do more, if his schedule allows it. (--And just to be clear, this would happen sometime THIS season.)
GABOUREY SIDIBE WILL REPORTEDLY HOST "SNL":
Academy Award nominee GABOUREY SIDIBE . . . the, well, CURVY star of that "Precious" movie . . . will reportedly be hosting an upcoming episode of "Saturday Night Live". --A so-called "source" tells E!

TINA FEY will host on April 10th, RYAN PHILLIPPE is hosting on April 17th, and BETTY WHITE will headline the May 8th episode.)

LOLLAPALOOZA IS UNVEILING THEIR BILL "WHEEL OF FORTUNE"-STYLE:
Rather than just TELL US who's going to be at Lollapalooza this summer . . . organizers have decided to unveil the line-up through a "Wheel of Fortune"-style word puzzle. (???) (--Which, you have to admit, is a fun idea.) --It's currently up on Lollapalooza's website, at http://2010.lollapalooza.com/. --As of late last night, only the letter "O" has been revealed . . . but the people at RollingStone.com claim to have already figured out some of the bands. --They include: Soundgarden, Phoenix, the Strokes, Spoon, Hot Chip, Devo, the New Pornographers and Gogol Bordello. --They also claim to have figured out some of the bands that DON'T have an "O" in their names . . . based on a combination of pre-existing rumors and the number of letters in the names. --Those bands are: The National, Green Day, Lady Gaga and Arcade Fire. (--As usual, Lollapalooza will go down the first weekend in August at Chicago's Grant Park.)
MORE MULLET-STOCK BANDS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED:
The organizers of Rocklahoma . . . which we used to refer lovingly as MULLET-STOCK, back when the bill was full of sweet, '80s hair metal bands . . . has confirmed another batch of performers for this year's festival. (--It's happening Memorial Day weekend in Pryor, Oklahoma.) --The latest participants include: SEVENDUST, LACUNA COIL and FUEL, featuring original lead singer BRETT SCALLIONS. (--You can see the full lineup, here . . .)http://rock.feverfest.com/ --The biggest previously announced performers are: ZZ Top, Godsmack, Tesla, Buckcherry, Cinderella, and Chevelle. Also, Stone Sour were supposed to be there, but they've since had to back out due to conflicts with a European tour.
IS THIS AUDIO OF JENNIFER LOPEZ BEING A DIVA IN A RECORDING STUDIO?
Regardless of what you think of JENNIFER LOPEZ'S singing prowess . . . it isn't hard to believe that she could be a diva in the recording studio. Now, there may be proof. --Audio has surfaced online of J-Lo trying . . . and not very successfully, I may add . . . to sing the BARBRA STREISAND part in "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", a duet Barbra did with DONNA SUMMER back in 1979. --In the clip, Jennifer does a lot of starting and stopping . . . and screwing up. --The story that goes along with this clip is that J-Lo was being such a diva that the producer leaked it to get back at her. --The thing is, Jennifer isn't acting like a diva at all. She doesn't blame anyone else for all her screw-ups . . . and she laughs a lot and says she's sorry almost every time she botches it. --If anything, this clip makes J-Lo seem pretty cool. So if a producer really did leak this to make Jennifer look bad, it totally backfired on him. (--You can listen to it at the link below. ***WARNING***: J-Lo drops an UNCENSORED F-BOMB in it, so you won't want to play it over the air.) http://perezhilton.com/2010-03-31-j-lo-attempts-to-sing-a-barbra-streisand-song-and-fails
AND NOW . . . HERE'S ANOTHER KIND-OF-ANONYMOUS DUDE HOPING TO MEET TAYLOR SWIFT:
TAYLOR SWIFT comes off as so real, and so nice . . . that people feel comfortable telling the world they want to meet her. This time it was college basketball stud OMAR SAMHAN. (--Omar is the 6' 11" center for St. Mary's College. They made it to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament, knocking-off the heavily favored Villanova along the way. Samhan averaged 30.5 points and 9.5 rebounds in the tournament.) --Word got out that Omar follows Taylor Swift on Twitter and that his pre-game ritual includes listening to her music. That gave the reporters at the tournament an angle to talk to him about something other than the game. --Someone pointed a camera at Omar last Friday before his game against Baylor . . . and he went with it. He said, quote, "Are those cameras on? I love you, Taylor. You should call me." --He wasn't done. He also said, quote, "I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan. "I listen to her before games. People think it's weird. But there is so much emotion and excitement before these games, it just kind of slows you down. --"And it keeps me mellow because I'm just like a time bomb waiting to go off. Taylor, I feel like she's singing to me sometimes. I love her, and I'm going to keep listening to her." (--St. Mary's lost their game against Baylor on Friday. Think that'll hurt Omar's chances of meeting Taylor Swift???)
NAZZY'S RANDOM STUFF
THE HOT NEW THING IS TO WEAR A PROM DRESS THAT'S "SLUTTY CHIC":
Yesterday, the "New York Post" ran a hard-hitting story about this year's most popular prom dress fashions. --According to the article, the hot new look is something called "slutty chic." --It means pretty much what you think: Dresses that show lots of cleavage, are super short, skin-tight, and maybe leopard print. --The writer for the "Post" describes it as, quote, "dressing like an extra from MTV's 'Jersey Shore'." That's pretty dead-on. --We just thought you should know what you got yourself into when you agreed to take your daughter shopping for her prom dress. (New York Post)
FAST FOOD HAS BEEN BANNED AT AN AMERICAN AIRBASE IN AFGHANISTAN:
General Stanley McChrystal is the commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, and he has a reputation for being a total disciplinarian; the sort of guy who kicks butt and takes names. Which is what makes him good at his job. --But he isn't exactly a "fun-loving" guy. On Tuesday, McChrystal ordered a strip of fast food restaurants on the American airbase in Kandahar, Afghanistan, to be SHUT DOWN. --The area was known as "The Boardwalk," and it had a Burger King, a Pizza Hut, a Subway, and a brand new T.G.I. Friday's restaurant. --McChrystal didn't give a reason for his decision. But according to his Command Sergeant-Major, a guy named Michael T. Hall, it's because, quote, "This is a war zone, not an amusement park." (London Times)

#4.) TWO KIDS CAME UP AN INCREDIBLY COMPLEX HANDSHAKE:Here's a ridiculously complex handshake that lasts 20 seconds. (--Search for "20 second handshake.")http://www.break.com/index/20-second-handshake.html
THE BEST AND WORST APRIL FOOLS' DAY PRANKS OF ALL TIME:
No one's exactly sure when people started celebrating April Fools' Day, but it's been around for at least 300 years. Probably a lot longer. --And according to a website called The Museum Of Hoaxes, here are the three best and three worst April Fool's Day pranks of all time. They judged them on how creative they were, how famous they became, and how many people they fooled.
THE BEST
#3.) INSTANT COLOR TV. In 1962, there was only one TV channel in Sweden, and it was in black and white. But on April 1st, the station announced that, thanks to new technology, viewers could turn their black-and-white TVs into color TVs. --All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over the screen. They showed people how to do it, and thousands of viewers tried it at home. Obviously, it didn't work. --It's hard to believe that's the number three prank, because number four was pretty good too, and you might even remember it. In 1996, Taco Bell said they were buying the Liberty Bell and renaming it the "Taco Liberty Bell." Outrage ensued.
#2.) THE PITCHER WHO COULD THROW 168 MILES PER HOUR. In 1985, Sports Illustrated said a rookie pitcher named Sidd Finch was planning to play for the Mets. --They said he could throw 168 miles an hour, and that he trained at a monastery in Tibet. Mets fans went nuts, and the magazine was flooded with requests for more information.
#1.) THE SWISS SPAGHETTI HARVEST. In 1957, the BBC announced that because of a mild winter in Switzerland, spaghetti trees . . . yes, SPAGHETTI TREES . . . were producing more spaghetti than normal. --And they showed footage of people pulling strands of spaghetti off tree branches. People immediately started calling in asking how to grow their own spaghetti tree. --So the BBC told them, quote, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best."
THE WORST
#3.) THE PHONY DEADLINE. In 2003, a guy who worked at City Hall in London was on vacation in Canada when he got a phone call from a co-worker, saying he had a huge project due. --The guy got so stressed out, he started having heart palpitations and had to retire. He ended up suing, and City Hall banned employees from pulling any more pranks.
#2.) THE FAKE PRISONER RELEASE. In 2000, a Romanian newspaper announced that dozens of prisoners would be released from prison. So their family members showed up to take them home, only to find out it was all a joke. --The newspaper later published an apology.
#1.) SADDAM HUSSEIN'S SERIES OF EVIL PRANKS. Between 1998 and 2001, Saddam Hussein and his son pulled some of history's more mean-spirited April Fools' Day pranks, no surprise there. --First, the country's government-run newspaper published a fake report that President Clinton was lifting sanctions on Iraq. If it had been true, it would have been huge for the country's economy . . . but it wasn't true. --Then, for April Fools' Day in 1999 Saddam's son Uday announced that the monthly food rations would also include bananas, Pepsi, and chocolate. People got excited, then he said he was just joking. --After that, Saddam and his fellow pranksters ran out of ideas. They did the sanctions prank again in 2000, and the food rations prank again in 2001. And now they're all dead. (MuseumOfHoaxes.com)
