HOLLYWOOD DIRT OVERFLOW
NOW, TIGER WOODS' KINDERGARTEN TEACHER SAYS HE OWES HER AN APOLOGY:
Add another name to the list of women TIGER WOODS needs to apologize to. 69-year-old Maureen Decker . . . Tiger's KINDERGARTEN TEACHER . . . wants him to say he's sorry over a story he told five years ago. --In CHARLES BARKLEY'S book, "Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?", Tiger claimed he was the victim of a vicious racial attack on his first day of kindergarten. --He said, quote, "A group of sixth graders tied me to a tree, spray-painted (the N-word) on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. And the teacher really didn't do much of anything." (--This allegedly occurred at Cerritos Elementary School in Anaheim. Tiger was a kindergartner from 1981 to 1982.) --But Decker says this never happened. And she has hired . . . guess who??? . . . GLORIA ALLRED to help her get her point across. --They held the obligatory press conference on Friday. --Gloria said, quote, "Ms. Decker believes that no such incident ever occurred to Tiger Woods on the first day of class, while he was under her care as a kindergarten pupil. --"Neither Tiger, nor his parents, nor anyone ever reported the alleged racial incident to her or the administration. --"Therefore Ms. Decker contends that the incident and the statement that the teacher really didn't do much of anything about it, is completely untrue." --Gloria then asked that Tiger RETRACT that statement and APOLOGIZE to Decker. --Decker then took the microphone and said that she suffered from migraines, elevated blood pressure and colitis . . . which is an inflammation of the colon . . . as a result of Tiger's story. --She added, quote, "I am asking Tiger for a private and public apology to put my mind at ease and set the record straight." --She wouldn't say if she plans to SUE Tiger if he refuses to apologize, but she added that she does NOT want money from him. --Decker claims she's not just jumping on the anti-Tiger bandwagon. She says she took her concerns to school officials back when the story came out . . . and both she and they tried to contact Tiger. --But they could never get a response from him. --Decker says the issue has been coming up again since Tiger's scandal broke . . . which is why she finally chose to deal with it. (--Watch the press conference here . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVoRYOa4jIQ (--In this particular case, if Ms. Decker is telling the truth, then it's hard to fault Gloria Allred for representing her. This woman definitely needs justice.) --By the way . . . TMZ spoke with two other people who say Tiger's story is bull: Principal Donald Hill and Linda DaVeiga, a parent who was a frequent volunteer at the school at the time of the alleged incident.
WILL TIGER HAVE 90 BODYGUARDS FOR THE MASTER'S???
This sounds excessive, but the not-always-reliable British tabloids say that TIGER WOODS will have up to 90 BODYGUARDS keeping an eye on him at the Master's Tournament this week. --We're not talking mall security here, either. He'll have the best money can buy, including former FBI and Secret Service agents. --Eight of those guards will be right with Tiger as a, quote, "last line of defense." --What will they be defending Tiger against? Why, HO'S of course. (???) Apparently, there's a concern that some of Tiger's MISTRESSES could be buzzing around Augusta . . . and these agents are being paid to swat them away. --They're even carrying around photos of Tiger's Angels. --A source says, quote, "None of these girls are allowed anywhere near him. If one photo comes out of a beautiful lady touching him, it would be a disaster." --Tiger arrived in Augusta yesterday afternoon. --He hit the course unannounced, hugged fellow golfer MARK O'MEARA, and played nine practice holes. --O'Meara later said, quote, "Listen, I love the kid. I understand what happened and it's not a good thing that has happened. It doesn't take away from the fact that he's my friend and I care for him. --"It's like I told him out there, 'This is the place where you belong. This is what you love to do.' And he does. He loves to compete and play. So it's good to have him back. The game needs him back, and it's good for him to be back." --Tiger is giving a press conference today at 2:00 P.M. Eastern time. (--Sources say Tiger's wife will NOT be making the trip . . . and didn't even say goodbye to him when he left Florida.)
JESSE JAMES HAS ALREADY LEFT REHAB . . . AND SOME MOVERS CAME AND TOOK SOME THINGS FROM HIS HOUSE ON FRIDAY:
Various media outlets say that JESSE JAMES left his Arizona rehab clinic after just one week, and is laying low somewhere in L.A. --His original plan, supposedly, was to spend 45 days at the Sierra Tucson Treatment Center to get over his RESTLESS GROIN SYNDROME. --A so-called "source" says, quote, "It seems Jesse just isn't that serious about rehab after all." --Also on Friday, a MOVING VAN showed up at the home Jesse used to share with SANDRA BULLOCK, and took some things away . . . including a couch, a loveseat and several boxes. --Jesse's mother and youngest daughter Sunny even brought some of the boxes out of the house. --But since Jesse reportedly owns this house . . . and Sandra recently moved back to her own place in the Hollywood Hills . . . we're assuming maybe these were her things, and they were being brought back to her. (--If this is the case, then perhaps we can also assume that Sandra has made it clear to Jesse that IT'S OVER . . . and thus, Jesse felt he had no more motivation to "get well.") (--That would explain why Sandra asked for her stuff back AND Jesse skated from rehab on the same day. But again, it's all just speculation.) --RadarOnline.com says that Jesse left rehab because Sandra wouldn't return his calls. A so-called "source" says, quote, "She refused to take one of his calls from the rehab center and he got furious and left. --"He's told people he's going back in. But right now it's impossible to predict what he'll do next."
POOR JESSE JAMES IS A "BROKEN MAN":
Is anyone ready to throw a pity party for JESSE JAMES??? I didn't think so. But Jesse's lawyer, Joe Yanny, is sending out invitations. --Listen to this crap he spewed on Friday . . . quote, "This whole thing has destroyed Jesse's entire universe. Right now, he's a broken man." --"The allegations back and forth about what happened . . . those are private matters to be resolved between a husband and a wife. It's not appropriate for a public airing. --"It's nothing but voyeurism at this point. Enough is enough. There are many more significant things in the world that people ought to be talking about and delving in to. --"Jesse is in love with Sandra. The single most important thing to Mr. James and the children is that the marriage somehow survive."
IS DR. CONRAD MURRAY GOING TO SAY THAT MICHAEL JACKSON GAVE *HIMSELF* THAT LETHAL DOSE OF PROPOFOL???
If this is true, it should make for an interesting trial . . . --DR. CONRAD MURRAY is reportedly planning to tell a jury that the lethal dose of propofol that killed MICHAEL JACKSON was actually administered by . . . MICHAEL HIMSELF. --That's what so-called "sources" are telling TMZ. Here's the story . . . --Dr. Murray will supposedly say that he gave Michael a relatively small dose of propofol . . . which is an anesthetic . . . at about 11:00 A.M. That, along with some other drugs, put Michael to sleep for about an hour. --During most of that time, Dr. Murray was sitting right there in the room with Michael. But at around noon, Murray left for just two minutes to go to the bathroom. --While he was gone, Michael suddenly woke up. Frustrated that he couldn't stay asleep, he SELF-INJECTED more propofol . . . too much, as it turns out. Michael immediately overdosed and his heart stopped. --When Dr. Murray came back, he found Michael lying in bed with his eyes open and his pupils dilated. And the rest, we already know. --If this is indeed the defense that Dr. Murray plans to use, JOE JACKSON isn't amused. He says, quote, "I don't believe it. It's not true. Why would [Dr. Murray] hide all the bottles if such a story were true? --"The Coroner's report shows the story is not true," adding, "This really upsets me to hear this." --A rep for Dr. Murray's team has already confronted TMZ's story. Frankly, he really didn't deny it. Here's what he had to say . . . --"We do not know what sources to which TMZ is referring. We only know it didn't come from [Dr. Murray's attorney], who has the final word. -"[We] will not be trying the case in the press . . . it is premature to discuss defense strategy. Dr. Murray's defense will depend on the People's theory of prosecution, which has not yet been made available to the defense team."

JANET JACKSON SAYS HER FAMILY KNEW ABOUT MICHAEL'S DRUG PROBLEM:
JANET JACKSON revealed on "Oprah" this past Friday that MICHAEL JACKSON'S drug problem was no secret to the rest of the family. --She said, quote, "People think we were in denial but we weren't. We tried intervention several times. He was very much in denial. He didn't think he had a problem." --Janet said the last time she saw Michael was a month before his death, at a party she threw for their parents. She said, quote, "He was thin then, and we knew that he had a problem. We all did." --She added, quote, "It's hard to believe still to this day [that he's gone]. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about him. Our whole family thinks of him every single day." --As for who Janet blames for Michael's death, she went with the obvious: DR. CONRAD MURRAY. She told Oprah, quote, "He's the one that was administering the drug, from what I do know."(--Here's video of Janet's "Oprah" appearance . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDRhDhZLECQ
NOW ERIN ANDREWS IS GETTING DEATH THREATS:
After having to deal with a guy peeping into her hotel rooms and taking video of her changing, ESPN minx ERIN ANDREWS is now getting DEATH THREATS. --Erin's lawyer announced Friday that she's received at least a dozen e-mails and phone calls since September. He added, quote, "[The FBI is] on the case. Erin and her family are protected." --Erin WILL dance tonight on "Dancing With the Stars" . . . although security on the set has been beefed up. She says, quote, "I don't quit on things. It's not an option for me." --TMZ says the threats were coming from a man in Virginia. (--The FBI knows who he is, because he didn't even try to hide his identity. They're not giving out his name yet.) --And they were sent to "The Dan Patrick Show" . . . which airs on DirecTV. --Here are a few of them: --"Dear Dan: I hope Erin Andrews gets murdered in L.A."--"I hope she gets shot in the face. I would love to see if she can dance away from a hail of gunfire. That would really make my day."--"I would love to get close enough to her to show her my suicide vest."--"I'm one in a million. She'll never see me coming."--Apparently, this guy's e-mails were sexual at first, but they started getting violent last month.--And check this out: DirecTV didn't tell Erin about the e-mails until last week . . . and she's FURIOUS.--Her attorney says, quote, "We are outraged that these e-mails did not come to our attention until now."--But a rep for DirecTV says, quote, "DirecTV executives at the 'Dan Patrick Show' became aware of the threatening emails on March 30 and immediately notified DIRECTV corporate security who then immediately contacted the appropriate authorities and representatives of Erin Andrews." (--It's not clear who was seeing these e-mails as they were being received . . . or why that person waited so long to bring them to anyone's attention.)
JOHN FORSYTHE . . . THE VOICE OF CHARLIE ON "CHARLIE'S ANGELS" . . . IS DEAD:
JOHN FORSYTHE . . . who provided the voice of Charlie from "Charlie's Angels" . . . died Thursday of pneumonia. He had also been battling cancer. He was 92. --Forsythe did Charlie's voice for both the '70s TV series and those soulless DREW BARRYMORE movie versions. --He also played oil tycoon Blake Carrington on "Dynasty" from 1981 to 1989 . . . and in the 1991 miniseries "Dynasty: The Reunion". --Some of John's co-stars issued statements over the weekend. Here they are:--HEATHER LOCKLEAR (--"Dynasty") . . . "John was a gentleman in every sense of the word. He was a gifted actor who knew the true meaning of being gracious and kind. He will be missed."--JOAN COLLINS (--"Dynasty") . . . "[He was the] last of the true gentleman of the acting profession. I enjoyed my nine years of feuding, fussing and fighting as the Carringtons . . . He will be greatly missed."--KATE JACKSON (--"Charlie's Angels") . . . "I made an effort never to see him when he came in to [record] his voiceover, but I left messages for him. And he would leave me a note saying, 'Hi Sabrina, it's Charlie. You'll never catch me!'"
THE BRITISH TABLOIDS SAY THAT OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN'S "DEAD" BOYFRIEND REALLY IS ALIVE:
About five years ago, OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN'S boyfriend, PATRICK MCDERMOTT, ended their nine-year relationship. Then, he went on an overnight fishing trip. --When the boat got back to shore, he wasn't on it. A search ensued. McDermott was presumed dead. --But there were always those who claimed that McDermott just pulled a runner . . . faking his death to escape financial obligations. --As far-fetched and soap opera-ish as that sounds, it might actually be true. --According to the not-always-reliable British tabloids, a private investigator found evidence that McDermott was working as a ship's mate on a tourist yacht in a Mexican seaside village called Sayulita. --Investigator Philip Klein . . . who'd been hired by "Dateline" to look for McDermott . . . set up a website asking for leads. He was eventually pointed to Sayulita, where McDermott was going by his birth name, Pat Kim. --Klein spoke to several people who knew "Pat Kim" . . . and many of them even knew who he really was. But they didn't care. --A hotel owner by the name of Mark Rubio said, quote, "We realized who he was, but nobody was bothered. This is a pretty relaxed place." --Klein didn't find McDermott himself in Sayulito. Although he had lived and worked there for several years, he'd moved on by the time Klein got there. --But Klein did speak with a, quote, "representative of Mr. McDermott" . . . who provided PROOF that McDermott was still alive . . . including a recent voice recording. --But he says that McDermott hasn't done anything wrong, and just wants to be left alone . . . quote, "Pat has asked that I portray to you his innocence. Pat has committed no crime. Pat simply wishes to be left alone. --"Let him live his life in peace and harmony. He is safe and has started anew again in a new place both physically and mentally. Stop this search immediately."
JESSICA ALBA WANTS TO ADOPT:
Last night on ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", JESSICA ALBA "announced" that she plans to adopt a kid. --Frankly, it doesn't really sound to me like she said anything concrete. But it's basically all over the Internet that Jessica is absolutely, positively adopting a child, like, yesterday. So of course, we have to deal with it. --Here's what actually happened: --Jessica was helping build a house for a family of 13, when she said, quote, "My mom grew up around a huge family, and they always wanted more kids, and I was like, 'Why don't you just adopt?' --"I'm totally inspired. If you have the love, and the capacity to love children, you should just adopt. And I plan on doing it." (--Here's video . . .)http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b174723_jessica_next_angelina_alba_announces.html(--Jessica and her husband have a daughter named Honor, who'll be 2 in June.)
LINDSAY LOHAN MAKES LESS THAN SNOOKI FOR PERSONAL APPEARANCES:
It's hard to tell if LINDSAY LOHAN has fallen as far as it seems . . . or if the media has just totally turned on her. Either way, here's the latest "Lindsay's life has gone to hell" story . . . --A so-called "source" says that Lindsay gets between $5,000 and $10,000 for attending events . . . which means she gets less than SNOOKI from "Jersey Shore". (--If that's true, it's definitely sad. Lindsay should be getting Oscar nominations these days. Instead, the only people who are "picking" her are people who belong to DEATH POOLS.) --Meanwhile, Lindsay fell AGAIN the other night on her way out of some club. No cacti were involved this time, but Lindsay did blame the paparazzi again. --She Tweeted, quote, "See how embarrassing it is when paps push you into a fall w/FENDIS ON! Again to me? And NOW YOU? sober sally's take a timber." (???)(--Here's video . . .)http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=341e723d-d67b-48f7-96ce-213d8cc6d806
"CLASH OF THE TITANS" IS #1 AT THE BOX OFFICE:

BILL MURRAY SIGNED ON TO BE IN "GHOSTBUSTERS 3" . . . BUT IS HE TRYING TO SABOTAGE THE MOVIE???
Back when Columbia Pictures announced they were going to make a third "Ghostbusters" and they wanted all the original stars to sign on, common sense said BILL MURRAY would be the toughest one to convince. --But he shocked everyone and agreed to do the movie. Which seemed like great news . . . until everyone involved realized a reluctant Bill Murray might be worse than no Bill Murray at all. --According the "National Enquirer", he's been so uncooperative, quote, "DAN AYKROYD [had to] call him and snarl, 'Stop acting like a jerk.' [Bill] has turned so cranky and mean that he refuses to answer phone calls." --There's no update on whether or not that call got Bill to fall in line, or when "Ghostbusters 3" might go into production.

Although he had lived and worked there for several years, he'd moved on by the time Klein got there. --But Klein did speak with a, quote, "representative of Mr. McDermott" . . . who provided PROOF that McDermott was still alive . . . including a recent voice recording. --But he says that McDermott hasn't done anything wrong, and just wants to be left alone . . . quote, "Pat has asked that I portray to you his innocence. Pat has committed no crime. Pat simply wishes to be left alone. --"Let him live his life in peace and harmony. He is safe and has started anew again in a new place both physically and mentally. Stop this search immediately."
JESSICA ALBA WANTS TO ADOPT:
Last night on ABC's "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition", JESSICA ALBA "announced" that she plans to adopt a kid. --Frankly, it doesn't really sound to me like she said anything concrete. But it's basically all over the Internet that Jessica is absolutely, positively adopting a child, like, yesterday. So of course, we have to deal with it. --Here's what actually happened: --Jessica was helping build a house for a family of 13, when she said, quote, "My mom grew up around a huge family, and they always wanted more kids, and I was like, 'Why don't you just adopt?' --"I'm totally inspired. If you have the love, and the capacity to love children, you should just adopt. And I plan on doing it." (--Here's video . . .)http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b174723_jessica_next_angelina_alba_announces.html(--Jessica and her husband have a daughter named Honor, who'll be 2 in June.)
LINDSAY LOHAN MAKES LESS THAN SNOOKI FOR PERSONAL APPEARANCES:
It's hard to tell if LINDSAY LOHAN has fallen as far as it seems . . . or if the media has just totally turned on her. Either way, here's the latest "Lindsay's life has gone to hell" story . . . --A so-called "source" says that Lindsay gets between $5,000 and $10,000 for attending events . . . which means she gets less than SNOOKI from "Jersey Shore". (--If that's true, it's definitely sad. Lindsay should be getting Oscar nominations these days. Instead, the only people who are "picking" her are people who belong to DEATH POOLS.) --Meanwhile, Lindsay fell AGAIN the other night on her way out of some club. No cacti were involved this time, but Lindsay did blame the paparazzi again. --She Tweeted, quote, "See how embarrassing it is when paps push you into a fall w/FENDIS ON! Again to me? And NOW YOU? sober sally's take a timber." (???)(--Here's video . . .)http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=341e723d-d67b-48f7-96ce-213d8cc6d806
"CLASH OF THE TITANS" IS #1 AT THE BOX OFFICE:
It's official: "Clash of the Titans" is a box office success. It's made $64.1 million since it opened on Thursday. That's nearly four-times more than the MILEY CYRUS flick "The Last Song". Here are the Top 10 movies in the country . . .
1.) (NEW) "Clash of the Titans", $61.4 million (--That's $64.1 million when you include the Thursday night preview.)2.) (NEW) "Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married Too?", $30.2 million3.) "How to Train Your Dragon", $29.2 million (--Up to a total of $92.3 million in its 2nd week.)4.) (NEW) The Miley Cyrus flick "The Last Song", $16.2 million
BILL MURRAY SIGNED ON TO BE IN "GHOSTBUSTERS 3" . . . BUT IS HE TRYING TO SABOTAGE THE MOVIE???
Back when Columbia Pictures announced they were going to make a third "Ghostbusters" and they wanted all the original stars to sign on, common sense said BILL MURRAY would be the toughest one to convince. --But he shocked everyone and agreed to do the movie. Which seemed like great news . . . until everyone involved realized a reluctant Bill Murray might be worse than no Bill Murray at all. --According the "National Enquirer", he's been so uncooperative, quote, "DAN AYKROYD [had to] call him and snarl, 'Stop acting like a jerk.' [Bill] has turned so cranky and mean that he refuses to answer phone calls." --There's no update on whether or not that call got Bill to fall in line, or when "Ghostbusters 3" might go into production.
WHAT "CLASH OF THE TITANS" PROP INFURIATED SAM WORTHINGTON?
SAM WORTHINGTON starred in "Avatar" and "Clash of the Titans" back-to-back . . . so you'd think he'd be an expert at acting with stand-ins, CGI characters, and machines. Well . . . apparently not. --According to Louis Leterrier, who directed "Clash of the Titans", Sam HATED the mechanical owl, Bubo . . . the replica of Athena's owl who helps Perseus in the original "Clash of the Titans", and makes a brief appearance in the new one. --He said, quote, "Sam couldn't stand the owl. He wanted to destroy it. He kept threatening to drop it. He'd say, 'This is a ridiculous thing to have in the movie! You're going to ruin my career with that owl.'" --Sam doesn't deny it. He said, quote, "That owl did not deserve to be in our movie."
THE GUYS WHO WROTE "HAROLD AND KUMAR" HAVE SIGNED ON TO REBOOT THE "AMERICAN PIE" FRANCHISE:
Here's another rebooted movie franchise that goes into the, "Really, you think we need a remake of THAT?" file. For some reason, the "American Pie" franchise is getting a complete reboot . . . only 11 years after it debuted. (--Universal has been making mediocre, low-budget, straight-to-DVD movies under the "American Pie" banner for several years now . . . apparently, they think the brand name is worth more than that.) --The guys who wrote the two "Harold and Kumar" movies have signed on to write the "American Pie" relaunch. (--The writers are Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, if you're interested in writers' names. Which we're not.) --The producers of the new "American Pie" say they're hoping to get all of the original actors to come back.
WILL SMITH WILL NOT BE PLAYING THE ROLE OF MARVIN GAYE:
CAMERON CROWE, the guy who made "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire", has been working on a biopic of MARVIN GAYE for years now . . . and has spent the past several months trying to get WILL SMITH to star in it. --Well . . . it's not happening. Will just turned down the role. (--So, then . . . moving on to CUBA GOODING JUNIOR?)
WE TV ANNOUNCED TWO NEW REALITY SHOWS: ONE ABOUT WAYNE NEWTON, AND ONE THAT'S KIND OF A "GERIATRIC 'JERSEY SHORE'":
WE tv . . . the cable network that does "Bridezillas", "Platinum Weddings" and more "Golden Girls" reruns than you can handle . . . has announced two new reality shows they'll be unleashing on the world. --The first one is all about WAYNE NETWON (!!!) and the, quote, "women who run his life." That includes his wife, attorney, mother-in-law and publicist. --It comes at a time when Wayne NEEDS the money he'll get from doing the show . . . his wife just filed court papers to try to keep her assets separate from his, and he's hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt. --WE tv is calling the second show, quote, "a geriatric 'Jersey Shore'." And it features everything you'd expect from that: Senior citizens in a retirement community in Arizona getting drunk, hooking up and having graphic discussions about sex. --The show is called "Sunset Daze" and is set to debut on April 28th. There's no word when the Wayne Newton show will start airing.
EVAN LYSACEK HAS BROKEN TWO TOES ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS":

ERYKAH BADU WILL BE FINED $500 FOR HER NUDE VIDEO SHOOT:
Last week, we told you about ERYKAH BADU'S new music video for her song "Window Seat". In the video, she got NAKED and walked around Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas . . . the place where JOHN F. KENNEDY was assassinated in 1963. --They shot the video in one quick take, and no one called the police to report Erykah's nudity . . . so the filming went off without any problems. --That actually UPSET the Dallas police . . . since she got away with doing such a high-profile nude stunt, they believed it could send the message that anyone can just go walking around the city naked, consequence-free. --So, according to "Rolling Stone", last Friday, they started ACTIVELY SEARCHING for people who witnessed the shoot . . . asking someone to step up and file a complaint. --They finally found a woman who was walking through the area with her mother and saw Erykah naked . . . and that woman was willing to file an indecency complaint. --Erykah has been charged with disorderly conduct for the shoot. The Dallas police will mail her a citation that carries a $500 fine. --The public nudity isn't her only controversy, either. Towards the end of the video, once she's naked, Erykah acts like she gets SHOT . . . and some people have felt that's hugely disrespectful to JFK, since he was shot in the exact same location. --Erykah says that people are, quote, "grossly misunderstanding" what happened. Quote, "JFK is one of my heroes, one of the nation's heroes. He was not afraid to butt heads with America, and I was not afraid to show America my butt-naked truth." (--Here is the "Window Seat" video. The nudity is blurred . . .)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCaCIstoOsU
LEONA LEWIS SANG AT HER BIRTHDAY PARTY . . . WITH HER OWN SONG LYRICS WRITTEN ON HER HAND:
LEONA LEWIS turned 25 on Saturday, and celebrated at the nightclub PURE at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas. She performed a few of her songs . . . one of which, apparently, she hasn't quite mastered. --TMZ.com has a photo that clearly shows some of the lyrics to Leona's songs "Bleeding Love" and "Outta My Head" written on her HAND. (--Not knowing "Outta My Head" is sort of justifiable . . . it's off her new album and isn't a huge hit single or anything. But she must've performed "Bleeding Love" 14 million times at this point. How does she not know it by heart?)(--You can see the photo here . . .)http://www.tmz.com/2010/04/04/leona-lewis-pure-las-vegas-birthday-party-photo/

Check out this video from a GUNS N' ROSES concert in Bogota, Columbia, last Tuesday. In the middle of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door", AXL ROSE is running around the stage . . . and WIPES OUT. At least he laughs it off like a champ, though. (--Here's the video. The fall happens at the 1:18 mark . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi4duvF7q58
LIL' WAYNE HAS LAUNCHED A NEW WEBSITE, TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH FANS WHILE HE'S IN PRISON:

(--Generic-looking white shirts that cost $30.) --If you want to write him, you'll actually have to do it with old fashioned stamp-and-envelope mail. The address is available on the website.
WYCLEF HAS RAISED ALMOST $10 MILLION FOR HAITI:
WYCLEF JEAN was born in Haiti and, when the earthquake hit, he stepped up to raise money. Through his non-profit foundation called Yele, Wyclef has raised $9.1 MILLION for earthquake relief. --Now . . . while that is great and all, there's no guarantee all of that is actually going to Haiti. In the past, Yele has been accused of using donation money improperly . . . including a $105,000 payment to a woman Wyclef was allegedly sleeping with.--Wyclef has denied that the foundation has done anything wrong.
NAZZY’S RANDOM STUFF
TWO KIDS ON AN EASTER EGG HUNT FOUND A DEAD BODY:
Now it's time for something we like to call "The Worst Easter Egg Hunt Ever." We don't have a lot of information about what went down, but if you know of an Easter egg hunt that sucked worse, let us know. --It happened on Saturday morning at Beaverdale Park in Des Moines, Iowa. That's where the Beaverdale Neighborhood Association was holding its annual egg hunt for about 100 kids. --Two unidentified teenagers took their younger siblings to the egg hunt, but they wandered off into the woods a few hundred yards from where the egg hunt was going down . . . and found a dead body. --The man's name hasn't been released, and so far the police don't expect foul play. That is all. (Associated Press)
A BLIND GUY SET A NEW WORLD RECORD BY DRIVING A FERRARI 182 MILES PER HOUR:
On Friday, a Turkish pop singer named Metin Senturk set a new land speed record for BLIND PEOPLE by driving his Ferrari 182 miles per hour. (!!!) --A former racecar driver named Volkan Isik followed behind Metin in a separate car, talking him through the drive over radio. But there was no one else in the car with Metin at the time. --He says, quote, "I don't think there are any words to describe this feeling. I am really happy. It was really hard, like a dance with death." (Yahoo News)
TWO MEATBALLS TRIED TO CARJACK A PIZZA DELIVERY CAR . . . BUT NEITHER KNEW HOW TO DRIVE A STICK SHIFT:
There aren't that many details available for this story, but we figured we'd pass it along because it's so incredibly boneheaded . . . --Over the weekend, an unidentified driver for Domino's Pizza was making a delivery in Fountain Hill, Pennsylvania (--in the eastern part of the state, just a few miles east of Allentown). --At some point, the driver was stopped at a red light when two unidentified thieves tried to CARJACK him. But they couldn't do it. Not because they had a sudden crisis of conscience, or because the Domino's guy fought them off. --It's because the delivery guy's car had a MANUAL TRANSMISSION, and neither of the carjackers knew how to drive a stick shift. --Anyway, the would-be carjackers took off running, and the Domino's guy called the police. So far, no arrests have been made. (Allentown Morning Call)
BLONDES EARN 7% MORE THAN OTHER WOMEN:
Just when you thought women couldn't possibly find another reason to resent BLONDES, we get this . . . --According to a new study from the University of Queensland in Australia, blondes earn 7% more than women with different colored hair. Overall, that translates to an average of $2,500 more each year. And that's not all . . . --Blondes also marry wealthier guys. On average, men who are married to blondes earn about 6% more than men who are married to brunettes. (Daily Telegraph)
A TOWN IN ITALY PUT UP A STREET SIGN WARNING DRIVERS TO WATCH OUT FOR PROSTITUTES:
The town of Treviso, Italy, is about 20 miles north of Venice. Apparently, it has a real problem with prostitution --In fact, things have gotten so bad in one especially seedy part of the city, local authorities decided to put up a street sign warning drivers to look out for prostitutes. (???) (Daily Telegraph)
NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) OBAMA PLAYED H.O.R.S.E. WITH AN EX-NBA PLAYER AND WON:During halftime of the Michigan State-Butler basketball game on Saturday, CBS showed PRESIDENT OBAMA playing H.O.R.S.E against former NBA player CLARK KELLOGG. --Obama won, but he said Kellogg missed some shots on purpose. They actually played "P.O.T.U.S.," which stands for "President Of The United States." (--Search for "Obama Clark Kellogg." Obama wins at 4:07.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQaYS0h7zB0
#2.) CHRIS ROCK DID A PARODY OF "HEY YA!" CALLED "CRACKERS":In 2004, CHRIS ROCK did a parody of the OUTKAST song "Hey Ya" called "Crackers" that makes fun of white people, but the video was never released. (--Search for "Chris Rock Hey Ya Crackers spoof." The song starts at :26.)

SEVEN RECOMMENDED SERVING SIZES AND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE:
The portion sizes at restaurants have gotten completely out of control. If you want to make it easy on yourself, just eat half of what they give you, and take the rest home in a doggy bag. That's usually plenty. --But if you want to go on a case by case basis, "Reader's Digest" made a list of seven types of food, along with seven everyday items that are about the same size as the recommended servings . . .
#1.) A THREE-OUNCE SERVING OF CHICKEN OR BEEF IS THE SAME SIZE AS A DECK OF CARDS. Yeah, that's the recommended serving size . . . just three ounces. The smallest steak they serve at Outback Steakhouse is twice that. --And the LARGEST steak is almost SEVEN times the recommended serving.
#2.) A THREE-OUNCE SERVING OF FISH IS THE SIZE OF YOUR CHECKBOOK. Unless it's a really thick piece of fish. In that case, stick with the deck of cards analogy.
#3.) THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PASTA IS THE SIZE OF HALF A BASEBALL. Not sure why "Reader's Digest" went with "half a baseball" on this one. How many times in your life have you seen HALF a baseball. --If you're at a restaurant, hold out one hand and cup it. Then think of how much pasta you could hold without letting it overflow. That's how much you should eat. --If you're cooking at home, just look on the box. It says the recommended serving size right there. An entire 16-ounce box of spaghetti is enough for eight people.
#4.) A CUP OF COLD CEREAL IS THE SIZE OF AN *ENTIRE* BASEBALL. Or, in other words, it's what you could fit in BOTH hands if you cupped them together.
#5.) THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SALAD DRESSING SHOULD FIT IN A SHOT GLASS. It's two tablespoons. And actually, it's more like three-quarters of a shot.
#6.) AN APPLE SHOULD BE THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL. That's what's considered to be a "medium" sized piece of fruit. But a lot of the fruit you see at the grocery store is twice that size.
#7.) A SIX-OUNCE GLASS OF JUICE IS THE SIZE OF A SINGLE-SERVING CUP OF YOGURT. Or slightly bigger than a cup of Jell-O pudding, which is four ounces. --At McDonald's, a CHILD SIZE glass of orange juice is 12 ounces. That's twice as much as you need, and WAY more than your kid needs. (Reader's Digest)
THE GUYS WHO WROTE "HAROLD AND KUMAR" HAVE SIGNED ON TO REBOOT THE "AMERICAN PIE" FRANCHISE:

Not because they had a sudden crisis of conscience, or because the Domino's guy fought them off. --It's because the delivery guy's car had a MANUAL TRANSMISSION, and neither of the carjackers knew how to drive a stick shift. --Anyway, the would-be carjackers took off running, and the Domino's guy called the police. So far, no arrests have been made. (Allentown Morning Call)
BLONDES EARN 7% MORE THAN OTHER WOMEN:
Just when you thought women couldn't possibly find another reason to resent BLONDES, we get this . . . --According to a new study from the University of Queensland in Australia, blondes earn 7% more than women with different colored hair. Overall, that translates to an average of $2,500 more each year. And that's not all . . . --Blondes also marry wealthier guys. On average, men who are married to blondes earn about 6% more than men who are married to brunettes. (Daily Telegraph)
A TOWN IN ITALY PUT UP A STREET SIGN WARNING DRIVERS TO WATCH OUT FOR PROSTITUTES:
The town of Treviso, Italy, is about 20 miles north of Venice. Apparently, it has a real problem with prostitution --In fact, things have gotten so bad in one especially seedy part of the city, local authorities decided to put up a street sign warning drivers to look out for prostitutes. (???) (Daily Telegraph)
NAZZY’S SILLY VIDEOS OF THE DAY
#1.) OBAMA PLAYED H.O.R.S.E. WITH AN EX-NBA PLAYER AND WON:During halftime of the Michigan State-Butler basketball game on Saturday, CBS showed PRESIDENT OBAMA playing H.O.R.S.E against former NBA player CLARK KELLOGG. --Obama won, but he said Kellogg missed some shots on purpose. They actually played "P.O.T.U.S.," which stands for "President Of The United States." (--Search for "Obama Clark Kellogg." Obama wins at 4:07.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQaYS0h7zB0
#2.) CHRIS ROCK DID A PARODY OF "HEY YA!" CALLED "CRACKERS":In 2004, CHRIS ROCK did a parody of the OUTKAST song "Hey Ya" called "Crackers" that makes fun of white people, but the video was never released. (--Search for "Chris Rock Hey Ya Crackers spoof." The song starts at :26.)

SEVEN RECOMMENDED SERVING SIZES AND WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE:
The portion sizes at restaurants have gotten completely out of control. If you want to make it easy on yourself, just eat half of what they give you, and take the rest home in a doggy bag. That's usually plenty. --But if you want to go on a case by case basis, "Reader's Digest" made a list of seven types of food, along with seven everyday items that are about the same size as the recommended servings . . .
#1.) A THREE-OUNCE SERVING OF CHICKEN OR BEEF IS THE SAME SIZE AS A DECK OF CARDS. Yeah, that's the recommended serving size . . . just three ounces. The smallest steak they serve at Outback Steakhouse is twice that. --And the LARGEST steak is almost SEVEN times the recommended serving.
#2.) A THREE-OUNCE SERVING OF FISH IS THE SIZE OF YOUR CHECKBOOK. Unless it's a really thick piece of fish. In that case, stick with the deck of cards analogy.
#3.) THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF PASTA IS THE SIZE OF HALF A BASEBALL. Not sure why "Reader's Digest" went with "half a baseball" on this one. How many times in your life have you seen HALF a baseball. --If you're at a restaurant, hold out one hand and cup it. Then think of how much pasta you could hold without letting it overflow. That's how much you should eat. --If you're cooking at home, just look on the box. It says the recommended serving size right there. An entire 16-ounce box of spaghetti is enough for eight people.
#4.) A CUP OF COLD CEREAL IS THE SIZE OF AN *ENTIRE* BASEBALL. Or, in other words, it's what you could fit in BOTH hands if you cupped them together.
#5.) THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SALAD DRESSING SHOULD FIT IN A SHOT GLASS. It's two tablespoons. And actually, it's more like three-quarters of a shot.
#6.) AN APPLE SHOULD BE THE SIZE OF A TENNIS BALL. That's what's considered to be a "medium" sized piece of fruit. But a lot of the fruit you see at the grocery store is twice that size.
#7.) A SIX-OUNCE GLASS OF JUICE IS THE SIZE OF A SINGLE-SERVING CUP OF YOGURT. Or slightly bigger than a cup of Jell-O pudding, which is four ounces. --At McDonald's, a CHILD SIZE glass of orange juice is 12 ounces. That's twice as much as you need, and WAY more than your kid needs. (Reader's Digest)
