So, Does That Mean Kendra and Bridget Will Have to Move Out?

--Anna Nicole had lupus?

--ReyBiel?

--Djimon Hounsou will follow in the briefs of Freddie Ljungberg, Mark Wahlberg and seven others when he becomes the latest Calvin Klein underwear model: "The Fall 2007 campaign, which will be shot in late March or early April, will appear internationally in more than 20 countries, with print and outdoor media timed to coincide with September 2007 magazine issues. Hounsou is the ninth man to be featured in a Calvin Klein Underwear campaign and the first actor in over a decade." He'll be launching Calvin Klein Steel for the Fall 2007 season. (Seems a far stretch from Oscar-nominated actor, but don't forget he pranced around shirtless in Janet Jackson's "Love Will Never Do Without You" video).

--Hollywood actress Daryl Hannah is overjoyed she turned down the role in Pretty Woman made famous by Julia Roberts because she now thinks of it as "degrading for the whole of womankind". The star declined the part of prostitute Vivian Ward in the 1990 movie - which shot Roberts to fame - because she disliked the tone, as did Meg Ryan and Michelle Pfeiffer. Hannah says, "One of the things I'm most proud of is refusing to take Julia's role. Every time I see it I like it less and less. They sold it as a romantic fairytale when in fact it's a story about a prostitute who becomes a lady by being kept by a rich and powerful man. I think that film is degrading for the whole of womankind." (Riiiiigggghhhhtttt...)

--Conan O'Brien let the stork out of the bag Monday night � by congratulating Liev Schreiber for expecting a baby with Naomi Watts. "Yes, I'm going to be a dad," Schreiber said in response to the announcement by the Late Night host. "Very exciting."


--Amid all the Oscar buzz this weekend, word has leaked that Hugh Hefner and girlfriend #1, Holly Madison, will wed before the end of the year. "This is very secret, but the word is 'yes,'" says an insider. "Hef has decided he will marry Holly, and he wants it for his show, The Girls Next Door. Hef thinks business all the time, and looks for a new hook, although he also does really love Holly." Hef was reportedly hoping to keep the wedding plans secret in fear that monogamy would kill the appeal of his reality show. This would be the third marriage for the Playboy magnate. (I'll admit it...I not only watch, but DVR that show. And, I actually think Hef and Holly are kind of cute together. Does that make me sick?)

--Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson may have walked away with gold, but according to the actress (and many critics), her red carpet style was anything but award-winning. In a Today Show interview, the 25-year-old American Idol alum admitted to Matt Lauer on Tuesday that her outfit was her only Oscar regret - adding fuel to a Page Six report that Hudson was forced to wear the much-maligned metallic bolero jacket picked by her stylist, Vogue editor Andre Leon Tally. (Told ya she deserved to be on my Worst Dressed List).

--Get your bald Britney dolls here.

Random Thought of the Day:
I consider myself a decent speller. I even won a few spelling bees in my day. (Yes, I know I'm a dork). However, I, to this day, have to spellcheck the word "aparrently." Even this time. Is it one "p?" Is it one "r?" Is it two "p's" and two "r's?" Thank God for Yourdictionary.com.

The Oscars

I have an early meeting, so I don't have time for an in-depth post. Click here for a list of winners.

A few thoughts:
--They took way too long to get to one of the major awards.
--Was Jack's hair an ode to Britney?
--The suit Ellen wore for her opening was heinous.
--Overall, Ellen did a pretty good job. (Other than thinking Penelope Cruz was from Mexico).
--Al Gore looked like a big, fat, sweatball. Ewww. And, enough already!
--Why can't someone w/ moderate intelligence do the red carpet? Seacrest is such a rod, and Dipandi and Matenapololalawhatever are both total morons.
--Clint Eastwood's wife/date was so annoying. When Ellen was doing the crowd stuff, she kept trying to get involved and take part. Um, no sweetie. When Ellen is talking to Spielberg and Eastwood, you shut your mouth. And, did you see her later picking lint off Eastwood's pants? Someone should have smacked her.
--Were best movie presenters Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson wasted? They sure seemed like it!

My picks for best dressed (and overall, I must say this was a well-dressed bunch):

My pics for worst dressed:


(I actually really liked the above dress Jessica Biel wore...however, it did NOT fit her well, so it puts her on my worst list).

Promises, Promises

--A day after entering Promises, a residential rehab facility in Malibu, Britney Spears has checked out of the treatment center, a source confirms. "It was against their advice," says the source. "If she comes back for treatment, Promises will have to assess the situation. Sometimes people come back, but it doesn't look good." After checking out, Spears arrived at the Bel-Air Hotel on Wednesday. When asked how she was doing, she replied, "Great. I'm great." (How sad is it that K. Fed could end up looking like the better parent here?).

--Nicole Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden are currently house hunting in Los Angeles - just three months after the pair began dating. The Simple Life star pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to a charge of driving while under the influence and faces up to a year in jail if convicted of a second DUI. Richie, who lives in a West Hollywood condominium, and Madden, who has a house in suburban Glendale, are searching for a new home to live in together. A source tells Us Weekly, "Nicole hasn't moved in with him yet...but they are looking at places."

--A Hollywood movie studio filed a lawsuit claiming gossip blogger Perez Hilton posted a stolen topless photograph of Jennifer Aniston on the Web. Universal City Studios Productions LLLP filed the suit Tuesday claiming the stolen image was posted on the perezhilton Internet site by Mario Lavandeira, aka Hilton. The picture was allegedly "misappropriated and illegally copied" during production or post-production of the 2006 romantic comedy hit "The Break-Up," starring the actress and Vince Vaughn, the suit said. The shot of Aniston, 38, was not included in the final version of the movie, which earned more than $118 million at the box office. The lawsuit, claiming copyright infringement and filed in U.S. District Court, said Lavandeira "posted all or parts of the stolen footage from the motion picture on his Web site." (Yikes! I always get nervous when I hear stories like that).

--Funny blog: Jet Blue Hostage

--Sorry, ladies, but Usher is officially off the block. Sources say the R&B icon is engaged to his longtime girlfriend and stylist Tameka Foster. "It's 100 percent official," said an insider. The couple began dating more than a year ago, but tried to keep it quiet - going so far as denying their relationship - but they recently became more open with their love. "She is wearing a beautiful ring," said a friend of Usher, "and he's been introducing her as his fianc�e."

--The ABC network is planning a spin-off of its hit medical series Grey's Anatomy, featuring the character of Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, played by Kate Walsh. The show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, is preparing a two-hour episode Grey's Anatomy, set to air in May, that would serve as the pilot episode for the proposed spin-off. If the network approves, the show will be considered for spot on the schedule next autumn. An ABC spokeswoman confirmed the plans, but said the plot line for the spin-off was being kept under wraps and no title has been selected. (Um, why?)

--Marcia Cross became a mom on Tuesday, welcoming fraternal twin daughters. The girls, Eden and Savannah, who were born at a Los Angeles hospital, are the first children for the Desperate Housewives actress, 44, and her stockbroker husband Tom Mahoney, 49, who married in June 2006.

--Kim Kardashian filed a lawsuit Wednesday against Vivid Entertainment over the distribution of a sex tape she made with her former boyfriend, R&B singer Willie "Ray J" Norwood. Kardashian, 26, a pal of Paris Hilton and daughter of O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian, is asking for unspecified damages, attorney fees and all profits from the sale of the tape, according to the LA Superior Court lawsuit. "This tape, which was made three years ago, and was meant to be something private between myself and my then boyfriend is extremely hurtful not only to me, but to my family as well," Kardashian said in a statement. "I am filing legal charges against the company who is distributing this tape since it is being sold completely without my permission or consent." (I don't feel a bit sorry for her).

--Comic Kathy Griffin lost her father, John Griffin, last Friday, but she has an amazing work ethic and is forging on and will still host the raucous GAYVN Awards - the Oscars of gay porn - in San Francisco Saturday night. Luckily, she'll have plenty to work with, thanks to nominees with titles like "Big Rig," "Booty Thief" and "Harassment at the Work Site." John and Kathy's mother, Maggie, were an integral part of Griffin's act and appeared regularly on her Bravo show, "My Life on the D List." (That is sad. I watched a few episodes of her show, and he seemed like a wonderful, sweet man).

--The family of a woman who died two years ago is suing Michael Jackson and a California hospital, claiming the gravely ill patient was moved to make room for the pop star when he arrived with flu symptoms. The complaint was filed against Jackson and Marian Medical Center on the second anniversary of the death of 73-year-old Manuela Gomez Ruiz. The family had previously complained publicly that Ruiz, who had suffered a heart attack and was on life support, was suddenly moved to make way for Jackson, whose admission to the hospital caused cancellation of a court session in his child molestation trial. Ruiz suffered a second heart attack and died later that day.

--Miss the old Brit? Having a hard time remembering what she was like pre-train wreck? Click here for a montage set to the tune of "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye To Yesterday."

--Lindsay Lohan may have thought of her "A Prairie Home Companion" director Robert Altman as a father figure, but she didn't show up for his memorial service here Tuesday - and was out partying in L.A. with "Jackass" badboy Steve O instead. After Altman's death in November, Lohan released a statement that he "was the closest thing to my father and grandfather that I really do believe I've had in several years." A source sneers, "If he was so important to her, where was she?" Among those who did show to honor the legend at the Majestic Theatre in Manhattan were Lily Tomlin, E. L. Doctorow, Harry Belafonte, Julianne Moore, Kevin Kline and Tim Robbins.

Random Thought of the Day:
I used to go to this babysitter occasionally when I was little, who was an old lady with a huge beehive hairdo. She clearly used a can of Aqua Net a day, contributing probably more than any other human being to the hole in the ozone layer. The bathroom had a shag toilet seat. Yeah--no joke. Shag like shag carpet. And, it was pink.

We (other kids and myself) used to play cops and robbers and when we pretended to shoot her, she'd pretend she was dead and stick out her false teeth. Her husband, a guy we called Pop, had a tattoo of a dagger that used to stick out of the top of his shirt so we could see it.

I remember all kind of random memories from being over there, but when I try to picture their faces, their actual faces and not other things I remember about them, I can't really see them. Is it weird that I can remember so many details, yet can't remember what their faces look like?

The Hollywood Trifecta: Lawsuits, Babies, and Rehab

--Newly bald Britney Spears checked into rehab again on Tuesday after a bizarre weekend that included tattoos and a shocking new hairdo. Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, told People magazine's Web site that Spears, 25, had voluntarily checked herself into a treatment facility. "We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time," Rudolph was quoted as saying. Spears is a patient at Promises, a treatment center in Malibu, the entertainment television show "Extra" reported. Last week, she checked herself into Eric Clapton's Crossroads Centre rehab clinic on the Caribbean island of Antigua � but stayed only 24 hours.

--Tony Award-nominee and TV actor Daniel McDonald died of brain cancer on Thursday in New York City. He was 46. McDonald received a 1997 Tony Award-nomination for his performance in Steel Pier and also appeared on Broadway in Mamma Mia! as Sam Carmichael and High Society as CK Dexter Haven. He was also seen in the US tour of Contact, the music and dance show, in 2002. McDonald often worked in television, appearing in such popular series as Sex And The City, Law & Order, CSI: Miami, Law & Order SVU: Special Victims Unit and Murder, She Wrote. He also appeared in the feature films The Ice Storm and What's Love Got To Do With It.

-- Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears aren't the only party babes who've entered rehab. Hania Barton, 19, Mischa Barton's little sister, has checked into a rehab center to treat her "addiction to prescription painkillers," according to Web site Celebritybabylon.com, which also carried photos of what look like crushed pills on Hania's tongue at a party. The Web site quotes a source "very close to the family" as saying Hania is "at that point where she could be going down the wrong path, and it's being dealt with immediately." (She could be Mischa's twin).

-- A judge on Tuesday ordered that O.J. Simpson's income from past work in movies, television and commercials go directly to the family of murder victim Ron Goldman, but he rejected the family's bid to collect Simpson's earnings on future projects. (Good. That scumbag deserves nothing).

--Tom Brady was shocked by ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan's public announcement she was expecting his child. The 36-year-old actress announced she is more than three months pregnant with the New England Patriot star's child through Liz Smith's gossip column in the New York Post. Moynahan reportedly didn't inform Brady, who is now dating supermodel Gisele Bundchen, that she was announcing the pregnancy until the very last minute. A friend of Brady's tells Us Weekly he was blind-sided by Moynahan's press blitz saying, "He's disappointed this is how she's decided to play it. She announced it to make him look like a jerk." Sources say the couple didn't know Moynahan was pregnant when they broke up in November, but Brady "has known about it for a while." The birth announcement reportedly put a damper on Brady's romantic Paris getaway with Bundchen. The couple were on holiday at The Ritz hotel when news of the pregnancy broke. (It worked. He did kind of look like a jerk. And, I hardly believe he's "excited" about all of this, as his publicist said. The pic is of them in Paris).

--Trista and Ryan Sutter of The Bachelorette are expecting their first child, the couple said. "We are so happy after two years of trying," Trista says.

-- "My mom dressed me in silk to go to elementary school. In kindergarten, they sent me home because I couldn't do finger painting in my dress" - Allegra Versace, on being the daughter of Donatella Versace, in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar.

--A second wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against R&B singer Brandy stemming from her fatal car accident in December. It was filed on behalf of two boys whose mother, Awatef Aboudihaj, was killed in the freeway crash that police say was triggered by Brandy in Los Angeles on Dec. 30. Paul Philips, an attorney for the boys, Mrwan Mohamed, 14, and Kareem Mohamed, 10, said they are suing for an undisclosed amount, "but this is a priceless case to these kids who've lost their mother. These boys don't even quite understand their loss yet." Brandy's rep previously said in a statement: "The accident was a terrible tragedy and Brandy's heart goes out to Aboudihaj's family."

--Naomi Watts has a bun in the oven. The Aussie actress, 38, is pregnant with her boyfriend of several years, Liev Schreiber, sources said. Us Weekly caught the blond bombshell at Pastis this weekend looking "visibly pregnant. Liev was smiling and looking at her stomach. They were cute." Schreiber and Watts have wanted a baby for some time now, friends told Page Six, and "no one would be surprised if they married soon, but kept it quiet like Heath [Ledger] and Michelle [Williams]." (I reported on this abotu a month ago...looks like they are still keeping it under wraps).

--Brody Jenner says he's "horrified" by a profile written about him in the new issue of Details magazine. In the article, Jenner and his best friend/manager, Spencer Pratt, are characterized as scheming to make Jenner famous � partly by dating or befriending famous people, including Nicole Richie, who Jenner briefly dated. "Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna start dating Nicole Richie. And you're gonna get that skinny bitch to eat, all right?," Pratt says, as part of the pair's alleged plan to seek fame. "You are about to become The Guy Who Got Nicole Richie to Eat. Process that s--t, bro. You'll be, like, a f---ng hero to America." However, Jenner said that the article unfairly makes him look uncaring about those he truly cares about.

--Owen and Kate are still going strong:

--A reader emailed and suggested I do more "commentary." Well, I'd love to, but I simply don't have the time. However, the reader suggested that at a minimum, I do a "Random Thought of the Day." So, I thought I'd give it a shot. My random thought of the day:

Attention ladies who carry Vera Bradley purses: they are fine. They are not really my style, but whatever. However, what makes you think every pattern goes with every outfit? It's like you forget that purses are supposed to match, just because it's Vera Bradley. Your red purse with chickens on it does not match your pink blazer. Your lime green backpack-thingy with daisies does not match the horrendous winter-themed sweater you have on. Does Vera Bradley make women go blind?

Brady Babymama Drama

--Though they split up last year, actress Bridget Moynahan and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady are expecting a baby together. The pregnancy was first reported by the New York Post columnist Liz Smith. Moynahan, 35, who is over three months pregnant, is said to be "healthy and excited," the paper reports.

--Eva Longoria and Tony Parker will marry in a French luxury chateau - according to press reports. Longoria and her basketball fiance are to wed in Paris this July, but guests including the actress' Desperate Housewives cast mates Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman and Nicollette Sheridan are being kept in the dark about where the actual event will be held.

--Don't try to get too close to ex-NBA star Reggie Miller. Thursday night at Las Vegas bar Rum Jungle, spies witnessed "a really cute girl" chatting it up with the retired Pacers star. "His agent started yelling at the girl," said our spy. "He started saying, 'Move five feet back! Everyone has to keep five feet away from Mr. Miller.'" According to our source, the stupefied lady stopped trying to flirt up the player and just walked away. (Please. I've been within 5 feet of Reggie Miller. It's not that exciting).

--Cameron Diaz was spotted getting cozy with Blood Diamond Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou at L.A.'s Hyde Lounge on Thursday. "It looked like the perfect post-Valentine's Day date," a patron said.

--Actor Sylvester Stallone was detained for several hours at Sydney Airport on Friday, after officials found "prohibited items" in his luggage. The Hollywood tough guy arrived in Australia to promote his latest movie Rocky Balboa, when his and his entourage's baggage was seized. Australian Customs Service national investigations manager Richard Janeczko says, "As a result of having their luggage x-rayed, a number of prohibited items were seized by customs.

He explains, "That was just a misunderstanding."

It's Too Freaking Cold To Think of a Clever Title

-- Not quite the Oscar, but Scarlett Johansson still was all smiles Thursday about being crowned the Harvard Hasty Pudding woman of the year. And happy to participate in the rambunctious roasting that goes along with the honor. She participated in a mock SAT exam, and endured a lampooning of her famous unclad Vanity Fair cover pose. But the blonde actress kept mum when asked to make an analogy between director Woody Allen, in whose films she has appeared, and fashion designer Issac Mizrahi, who groped her breast on the red carpet at the Golden Globes last year.

--A Florida judge yesterday ruled Anna Nicole Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead can obtain one more DNA sample from her body and review specimens already taken. Birkhead is in a paternity fight over Smith's daughter Dannielynn and wanted to make sure no substitute samples could be used in subsequent DNA tests. Probate Judge Larry Seidlin ordered the medical examiner, at the request of Birkhead's attorneys, to take on more oral swab of Smith's body for review by Birkhead's expert. The order came after three hours of arguments and testimony yesterday morning. Attorneys for Birkhead, Smith's companion Howard K. Stern and her mother, Virgie Arthur, are currently gathered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida fighting for the release of her body.

--Lawyers for black audience members who were the targets of Michael Richards' N-word rant at the Laugh Factory last November plan to hold a "mock trial" of him at Loyola Law School in L.A. tomorrow.

More than 100 music acts, including Pharrell, John Legend, Black Eyed Peas, Fall Out Boy and Kelly Clarkson, will participate. Diaz told the audience, "This is the only issue in the history of mankind that affects every single one of us - our planet is in danger. But at least someone is doing something about it." Promoters said the concerts will take place in Shanghai, China; Johannesburg, South Africa; Sydney, Australia; London and cities to be announced in Japan, Brazil and the United States. Pharrell added, "Our atmosphere, our planet, is being abused, and we need to make this part of our daily consciousness. On July 7, you're going to see the biggest party on earth!"

--J.Lo and Marc Anthony are already sucked in...

--Tony Danza was onstage in "The Producers" Wednesday night when two women in the audience started filming his performance. "Tony warned them, shaking his finger and mouthing 'please stop' - but they waved the camera in his face," a tipster reports. When the curtain came down, Danza told them to "get the hell out." Danza's rep said, "As any theater patron should know, it is prohibited to film in the theater, not to mention it is very distracting to the actors. Tony did his best to politely ask these women to stop filming, unfortunately to no avail." (Good for him. That is completely unacceptable...)

--She had some mighty Fiennes sex. So says flight attendant Lisa Robertson, who's tell ing friends that, despite her earlier denials, she did indeed have an unprotected quickie with Ralph Fiennes in the bath room of an India-bound Qantas jet. Not only that, but the 38-year-old fly-girl also claims they went on to enjoy a night of passion in a Mumbai hotel at Fiennes' in vitation, according to London's Daily Mail. "I've always fancied him," she re portedly told pals. "I just stood up, reached down for his hand and told him to follow me." Fiennes was in India to preach safe sex.

--Tragic model/actress Anna Nicole Smith left everything to her dead son Daniel and didn't change her will after his death in September. Smith's longtime attorney and husband-to-be Howard K. Stern has revealed all about his late girlfriend's last will and testament in a tearful interview with TV show Entertainment Tonight. Stern told reporter Mark Steines that Anna Nicole's will was drawn up in 2001, and never changed. In the interview, which aired on TV Monday night, Stern said, "Everything went to her son Daniel. Now, because Daniel's gone and (baby) Dannielynn is an only child, everything goes to Dannielynn. Everything.

"But do I have even one iota of a doubt that I'll be back for season four? No. Not one iota." (Yay! It just isn't PR without "Make it work.")

--A Broadway star who once played the Beast in "Beauty and the Beast" claims an audiotape Manhattan prosecutors have of him allegedly admitting to dressing-room sex with a 15-year-old girl was obtained illegally. James Barbour, who is charged with statutory sodomy, was in Los Angeles when he spoke to his alleged victim in New York. While it's legal to tape a phone conversation in New York state � so long as at least one of the parties is aware of the taping � California law requires that both parties be aware. Barbour says he didn't know the conversation was being taped, making it illegal and inadmissible, his lawyers argued in papers filed yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court.

"If I have to see Anna Nicole Smith on television one more time," Rosie said on "The View," leaving the rest of the thought unsaid. "She can hardly speak now.

"This is a tremendous step forward for Island Records and its established roster of artists who will benefit enormously from Jermaine's presence," Reid said in a release.

Sixty-one percent of women polled said it would be worse to lose their favorite article of clothing than give up sex for a month. Nearly half of the women, or 48 percent, taking part in the survey by consumer products giant Unilever said their favorite article of clothing was more reliable than their man in giving them confidence and making them feel sexy. (Ummm...no comment. Ha. What do you think, ladies?)

--Bundy are still going strong. (The article notes that Brady left Miami the day before the Super Bowl � and met up with his new supermodel girlfriend, and they act like it's because he cares so much for her. I'm sure it didn't have anything to do w/ the fact that he just didn't want to watch two other teams battle it out this year).

--File this under "I Don't Buy It."

--Does anyone watch "The Real Housewives of Orange County" like I do? Well, if you think Slade is a massive tool (like I do), click here and check out his website. (Nice waterfall picture, buddy!)

The couple rolled the scooter back to their hotel.

--Paris' wallet will burn for her sins if it's up to the National Boycott of Paris Hilton Movement. The group has written FILA demanding the clothing giant cut endorsement ties with her following the "very horrendous and hurtful" slurs against blacks and gays she uttered on a video - or face a boycott. "Paris Hilton, is not the 'face' you or any Fortune 500 company desires," group spokeswoman Linda Taylor told FILA. Company reps did not return calls. Paris has said she regrets saying the n-word and "faggot."

The Indianapolis Colts clinched a Super Bowl XLI victory last night! Peyton answered the critics! I was sporting my Marvin Harrison jersey with pride. It was a blast! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

And, it wouldn't have been the Super Bowl without the battle of the commercials. Frankly, I was disappointed this year. My faves were the Doritos commercial and the David Letterman-Oprah Winfrey commercial. The rest were all fairly forgettable. But, the game sure wasn't!

Super Bowl Weekend Is Upon Us

Season three winner Alonzo Bodden and season two finalists Ant and Kathleen Madigan will help pare down the field before the audience weighs in with their votes. (Did anyone watch this show? It looked awful. And, Bill Bellamy? They were reaching for a host if they picked him).

--Lindsay Lohan has pulled out of a new movie she was scheduled to shoot with Annette Bening, so she can take some time to relax after her current rehab stint.

In a statement to website Tmz.com, Zelnick says, "(She has) decided not to push herself." This marks the second time the two actresses were supposed to work together - Bening was originally cast as Lohan's mother in Freaky Friday, but a scheduling problem forced the Being Julia star to pull out. (That's too bad. Judging by the title of the movie, the movie was made for Lohan).

Lee hasn't gone totally girly, though - our source also saw him tweak the cocktail waitress' nose. "He just would not leave her alone," the tipster said. (And, I actually know what he was doing before he was at the nightclub. He and his band, Supernova, were playing Radio City. Iceman, care to comment?)

--And finally...there's a little game called the Super Bowl this weekend. GO COLTS!!!

The former Hole rocker said on Tuesday she had been contacted by Lythgoe about becoming a judge on the reality talent competition, possibly as a replacement for Paula Abdul. She told Us Weekly, "He called. He was wondering if I was interested. I thought it was kind of weird, but brilliant." Lythgoe denies the conversation took place telling the magazine, "I did not call Courtney Love and am afraid someone may have misrepresented me. Courtney Love is a very talented artist, but the judges for American Idol are Paula, Randy, and Simon. We have no plans to add to or replace any of them." A source close to Love adds, "It was probably a prank." (She'd be hilarious!)

(Where's Johnny Dakota and his "There's No Hope With Dope" campaign when you need him?)
