Famous O.J. Simpson houseguest Kato Kaelin is reportedly working on his own TV show called Houseguest. “It’s a show where I go across America, I knock on doors of the unsuspecting and invite myself in to spend a weekend with the family,” says Kaelin. Right. Then a former-athelete friend of his shows up in a ski mask and cuts everyone’s throat.

The New York Post is running a photo that they claim shows Britney Spears smoking a cigarette on the balcony of her hotel in Australia. (See, along with saying she wouldn’t have sex before marriage, she’s also been quoted as saying she wouldn’t smoke.) I dunno; it’s not a very clear picture. But I think I’ve found my new poll question.

Justin Timberlake has reportedly said that Britney Spears, the famous “no sex before marriage” sex goddess, is in fact not a virgin. I don’t know about you, but personally, this just blows my whole image of her. Say it ain’t so, Joe.

Old news to you celebrity watchers, of course, but I guess it’s time to acknowledge the ongoing sniping taking place over the paternity of actress Elizabeth Hurley’s new baby. The Independent has the latest info, describing how movie producer Steve Bing is going to court in an effort to establish the paternity of the baby, Damian, born last month. This seems odd, since, at least according to the Hurley camp, she’s never objected to having the baby’s paternity established. My own prediction: yeah, Bing’s probably the father – unfortunately for the child, who gets to look forward to having a real wanker for a dad.

Former Playboy playmate Anna Nicole Smith, who recently won an $88 million judgement against the estate of her fabulously wealthy late husband, is back in court asking for an additional $30 million. Explained Smith, “People don’t understand all the expenses I have. I mean, $88 million sounds like a lot of money, but when you actually start adding everything up, it goes pretty fast.”

Just in time to take our minds off the ongoing Middle East bloodbath, the L.A. Times is one of several outlets carrying the AP story on Kid Rock’s marriage proposal to Pamela Anderson last night, and her acceptance of same. Wishing them every joy.

Actor Stephen Fry, the quintessential Jeeves from the British TV series based on P.G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster stories, has this fairly interesting interview currently running in the New Zealand Herald. The thing that makes it interesting to me, besides the fact that I love everything he’s done, is the way he comes across as so dreadfully exhausted with the whole endless treadmill of movie publicity (Gosford Park is opening in New Zealand on Thursday, apparently), that he’s just saying whatever nutty thing comes to mind, in the process painting a pretty compelling picture of a guy who really needs a vacation. This part, for example: “Fry appears perplexed when asked if he would ever entertain suicidal thoughts again. ‘How can I know?’ he asks in a tone of incredulity. ‘I haven’t the faintest idea.'”

From the fine folks at BBspot comes a link to this gem: a Google page documenting the incidence of misspellings of “Britney Spears” in the search requests they see. So, there are apparently nearly 600 different ways to spell her name, all of which have been entered by at least a couple (and sometimes many more) users over the past few months, all of which Google will successfully interpret as being a search for her. Wow. That’s just… um, something.

The Independent News is one of many outlets carrying the story of supermodel Naomi Campbell’s legal victory over The Mirror, which she sued for invasion of privacy after the tabloid published a series of articles describing her treatment for cocaine addiction. Interestingly, the British high court sided with Campbell even though, as one judge put it, he was “satisfied that she lied on oath” about the reason for her admission to a hospital. So you see, even liars can win sometimes – as long as they’re pretty enough.
