PAPARAZZI HELPS HUGH JACKMAN FIND SON

Sexy Hollywood star Hugh Jackman had to thank a photographer for helping him find his lost son on a California beach.The actor was at the beach in Malibu with kids Oscar, eight, Ava, two, when Oscar disappeared.He tells the National Enquirer, "I’d sat down with my two kids, we were playing - and all of a sudden he’s gone. I’m freaking out. I start running down the beach, and I can see this guy running behind me. I turn around - and it’s a paparazzi."So I think ‘Oh, no. That’s all I need - I’ve lost my kid and this guy’s going to take pictures of me hysterical." But the celebrity snapper actually helped save the day. "(He said) ‘Hugh! Hugh! Listen mate, there’s your son. Over there.’ "I looked around and saw my little boy. That paparazzi (sic) was really child minding. I guess those guys do come in handy occasionally."

But now video proof could damage her career and reputation as a huge charity campaigner.The National Enquirer’s source claims the tape’s owner is seeking $70,000 for its sale and is telling the tabloid, "It appears to be from the 1990s, right before Angelina was breaking out in films like Gia and Girl, Interrupted, which won her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress."The key part of the tape is Angelina doing heroin. She says, ‘Wow, this is really good smack - not that cheap crap that’s been stepped on.’ "Angelina is seen sniffing white lines from a plate, and then as the drug cooks on tinfoil, she deeply sucks in its smoke through a tube."

THE NEW YORK WE ARE FAMILY EVENT NEWS

Patti Labelle

It was something of a dream come true for any true New Yorker; MICKY DOLENZ playing with NILE RODGERS and his outfit CHIC. As any dance music fan knows, CHIC really ruled the musical roost in the 80s ... not only with their string of hits, including, "Everybody Dance", "Le Freak", "Good Times", and, "I Want Your Love", but, Rodger's sterling productions for SISTER SLEDGE; DAVID BOWIE; MADONNA; DIANA ROSS; GRACE JONES; DEBBIE HARRY; and, DURAN DURAN. His "He's The Greatest Dancer" was/is a personal favorite! But, last night, at his yearly WE ARE FAMILY event, they saluted PATTI LABELLE; DEEPAK CHOPRA; and, Gibson's HENRY JUSZKIEWICZ, at the Hammerstein Ballroom.Once all the business was taken care of, including a raffle presided over by Rodgers; WAFF's NANCY HUNT and SLASH ... the music got started.First off, Patti Labelle came onstage with her LABELLE-sisters SARAH DASH and NONA HENDRX. The performed "Lady Marmalade"(which was originally released in December, 1974) and announced they had officially reformed and a CD would be out later this year. Always a great song, the original was produced by New Orleans' ALLEN TOUSSAINT, this year's version was amazingly powerful ... and, Patti showed she had not lost one iota of vocal power. The other girls were good, but, Patti blew them away.At 63, she is a force of nature.

We here at TSG are huge fans of the Monkee-man, but, last night he performed at a new peak. I don't know if it was the sterling musicianship all around him, or what ... but, he delivered like never before. Turns out Nile was a major-Monkee fan back in the day, and as he introduced Dolenz, he could hardly contain his enthusiasm. Hey boys, here's a thought: How about a Rodgers/Dolenz project? Hmmmmm ... could be very good indeed.Seen scattered about the lovely Hammerstein, were, Fox News' ROGER FRIEDMAN; GLORIA VANDRBILT; TONY BENNETT; Independent Entertainment's STUART GROSS; Tommy Boy's TOM SILVERMAN; SOPRANO-BOBBY FUNARO; PR Pasha, DAVID SALIDOR; the DAILY NEWS' GEORGE RUSH; and, SUZAN KRESSEL.

GREGG "OPIE" HUGHES NAMED ASSHOLE OF THE WEEK IN NEW ISSUE OF STEPPIN OUT MAGAZINE

Opie And Anthony

Yesterday Gregg "Opie" Hughes from the Opie and Anthony XM radio show in New York City had a melt down on the air over being named "Asshole Of The Week" in Steppin Out magazine. Hughes got very heated with his side kick Anthony Cumia over the article by Chaunce Hayden and eventually walked off the show. To hear the fight, just click on the link at end of story. Below is the Steppin Out story that hits news stands tomorrow.

'THE STEPPIN OUT MAGAZINE STORY'

BY: CHAUNCE HAYDEN

Gregg “Opie” Hughes of the Opie and Anthony 92.3K-Rock radio show (the lowest rated morning show in New York City) is furious at me for publishing a story about an alleged sex tape starring his fiance Lindsey and MTV’s favorite “Jackass” Bam Margera. There’s only one problem, dopey Opie never bothered to pickup a copy of Steppin’ Out to see what we reported or even if the story had ever been published. Um, it hadn’t. Last week Page Six of the New York Post published an item that yours truly was planning on writing a story on the alleged sex tape in an upcoming issue. Page Six was correct. However, what Opie and Bam failed to do was return my request for a comment regarding the sex tape rumor. So the Steppin’Out story was killed. Despite our efforts to get the facts, Opie chose to humiliate his fiance by using the item as a ratings grabber and turning a small mention in Page Six into two days of on-air fireworks. Opie even went so far as to lie about the time he called me on the phone several hours after I interviewed both him and his partner Anthony Cumia for Penthouse magazine and ask if I would change one of their answers. The question was, “Who invented ‘Whip them out Wednesdays (WOW)”? Anthony answered, “We both did.” Later that day Opie called my office and cried how sick he was of Anthony always saying, “We invented WOW.” He asked that I change the answer to read, “I invented WOW years before Anthony and I met.” Which I gladly did. Last week Opie denied the call ever took place. Really? All one need do is read the interview in the January 2001 issue of Penthouse for confirmation. But getting back to the subject at hand...the alleged sex tape.Two weeks ago I was contacted by a former O&A staff member who informed me that there was a sex tape involving Opie’s fiance and Bam Margera and that the tape (allegedly now owned by another former staff member of the O&A Show) was going to be sold on the Internet in the coming weeks. I was told that Lindsey and Bam were allegedly “doing the nasty” on the video tape and that it was made prior to Opie meeting Lindsey. Since the Page Six item came out, all parties involved have denied the video tape exists. I also believe that there is no sex video since nobody has come forward to present the evidence to the media. Now the question has to be asked, “Why do so many ex-staffers hate Opie so much that they feel the need to embarrass him any chance they get?” Well, judging from the lies Opie so easily tells over his airwaves, from this reporter’s perspective it’s easy to see why.For more on this story, you can hear me interviewed on Internet radio at www.robontradio.com. The Opie and Anthony Show is now officially the lowest rated morning radio show in New York City with a 1.7 rating behind WWFS.

UMA THURMAN'S STALKER TRIAL BEGINS

Uma Thurman

Hollywood star Uma Thurman cried and shook with terror after alleged stalker Jack Jordan tried to force his way into her movie set trailer, the stars’ wardrobe assistant testified on the first day of the alleged stalker’s trial yesterday. Joseph La Corte told the jury at New York City Manhattan Supreme Court how the two minders had to block Jordan, and how Thurman was left hysterical by the episode in November 2005. He said, "Her hands were shaking, she was soaked (from tears). She couldn’t sit still." Thurman’s former personal assistant Lisa Grondin also revealed how the trauma caused her to take up smoking again. Jordan is also accused of sending letters and notes to Thurman while she shot My Super Ex-Girlfriend in the city; in one, threatening to kill himself is she didn’t date him. Another read, "My hands should be on your body at all times." After pleading not guilty to misdemeanour stalking, aggravated harassment and felony coercion, Jordan’s lawyer contended that his letters were not illegal, telling the court, "(Jordan) does not think the way you and I think. He doesn’t know the boundaries you and I know. He thinks it’s romantic." Thurman was scheduled to testify today. The case continues.

GWYNETH PALTROW LEFT WITH NUMBNESS

Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow has been left with permanent numbness in one of her legs after breaking her knee while making the new movie Iron Man. Trooper Gwyneth, tried to keep acting on through the pain, before discovering the injury needed surgery. She says, "I broke my knee - because I’m a moron and I’m always bashing into things by accident. I’ve broken my toes 30 times."I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I bashed my knee, it really hurt." The accident even caused a bust-up with director John Favreau, who was convinced she was exaggerating her pain: "I kept exercising and running around in the movie. Then it really started to expand. In one scene I’m running away from Ironmonger - the bad Iron Man - and I said to John, ‘My knee is really hurting, I don’t know how many times I can do this.’ He was rolling his eyes, saying ‘you’re fine’."But I went to the doctor and I had a fracture so bad they had to do surgery the next day. They put cement in there! So I felt very smug and he apologised."It still doesn’t feel right. I had a nerve problem. My legs don’t feel the same. Sometimes it happens with surgery. If I get a wax, one leg hurts more than the other."

According to TMZ, Everhart persuaded police officers to allow her to use the toilet in a nearby restaurant before taking the test, which she subsequently failed.

JAILED PETE DOHERTY TURNING TO ISLAM

He's really interested in it. I think it's helping him in there." Doherty was recently put in an isolated cell after prison authorities thwarted a group of fellow inmates' plots to assault him.

JOE FRANCIS RESPONSE TO ASHLEY DUPRE

Joe Francis

Joe Francis issued the following statement to Times Square Gossip today in response to a lawsuit allegedly filed by Ashley Dupré. We at Times Square Gossip think the governor's hooker should go strut her used stuff on the other corner like all the other trash.

“We were very surprised and in fact amazed today that Ms. Dupré filed a lawsuit against Girls Gone Wild. We have not publicly released any new video of Ms. Dupré, due to corporate policy of not using footage of individuals younger than 18. It is incomprehensible that Ms. Dupré could claim she did not give her consent to be filmed by Girls Gone Wild, when in fact we have videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification. We did in fact offer Ashley via her New York attorney $1 Million to host and promote various Girls Gone Wild activities – She refused this offer and in fact if she’d like to reconsider, we’d be happy to discuss. She should keep in mind, it’s considerably more than the Governor of New York paid her, and our activities aren’t illegal,” said Joe Francis, CEO of Girls Gone Wild.

“She’s seeking $10 Million for topless photos taken in front of a room full of people, including two newspapers and multiple crews we had in the room. These images were taken in public places and contain no sexual contact. We expect to triumph in this matter and continue to offer the best and hottest girls,” added Francis.

Video of Ms. Dupré giving her consent will be available on-line imminently.

I never intended for any of this to happen and I am truly sorry if I have disappointed anyone."Most of all, I have let myself down." Disney Channel bosses have also condemned the Vanity Fair images - accusing the publication of creating "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

ASHTON KUTCHER NEEDS TOILET TRAINING

Ashton Kutcher

Sexy Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher loves to urinate outside his mansion every morning, because he wants to feel closer to nature.The 'That 70's Show" star admits he likes to join his dogs when they empty their bladders in the morning outside the home he shares with his wife actress Demi Moore. And he blames his weird toilet habit on his desire to bond with the earth and feel like a "caveman". He says, "I pee outside, outside my house, in my yard. I usually start off my day by taking my dogs out. While they go, I go."That’s probably my least appealing habit. I just feel like I’m connecting with nature, I bond and feel like caveman. Man, tents, cave, pee, bush." We understand Ashtons call to nature, we have it too, but what does he do when hes at his wife Demi's New York City apartment? We guess he walks right across the street to Central Park. Better be careful of the Gay cruising area, you may be sliding home !

Not only did the Real Housewives of New York (Jill Zarin is seen here with hubby Bobby) put the event on their agendas, but they forked out $1,000 each (forget the milk money, honey) to join everybody from host/artist Hunt Slonem to mother-rocker Anne Dexter Jones and eternal socialite Anne Slater for dinner at tables designed by some of New York's favorites, among them Benjamin Steintz, Amy Lou, Lauren Belasco, floral wizard Charles Terhout, Bridget Vizoso, Deborah Buck, David Scott (whose 'Jack and the Beanstalk' was the beanstalk-of-the-town), Dennis Rolland and other glitterati. Bidding on the Designer tables ran high throughout the evening and resulted in a huge donation of almost a million dollars to Lenox Hill Neighborhood House.

TALK OF THE TOWN MORE THAN ALL TALK

Tribute bands are hotter-than-ever ... clubs across the country can't get enough of them. MICHAEL JACKSON; JOURNEY; RADIOHEAD; BILLY JOEL; BRUCE SPRINGSTEIN; GENESIS; THE CURE; DEPECHE MODE; THE POLICE; QUIET RIOT; FRANK ZAPPA; PINK FLOYD; and, MEATLOAF, among others, ... are all represented with their very own tribute-band. In the beginning, the actual bands often disowned them, but, the Genesis-tribute ensemble, THE MUSICAL BOX, has actually been legitimately endorsed by the band members themselves. There's another one, right here in New York, called TALK OF THE TOWN, which handles music from both THE CARS and THE PRETENDERS ... and, they pull it off tremendously well.In fact, according to TOTT spokesperson MARY BETH CRONIN, "We've actually begun a dialogue with GREG HAWKES from the band, and, he's been an incredible source of inspiration." In fact, he might even be involved in a new single the band is recording right now, though that has not yet locked in.The 5-members of the band, COSMO LoCRICCHIO; JAY SHARKEY; JOE BIVONA; BILLY REUTLINGER, along with Cronin, are planning a massive tour this spring and summer on the North East. "Let's not forget the The Cars were am amazing band in the early 80s ... and, though part of the group re-united with TODD RUNDGREN last year, for a small tour ...calling themselves The New Cars ... their music lives on majestically. Watch for a date at Steve Walter's Cutting Room next month.

But Anderson has been quick to point out that she never eats meat even if there was nothing else on the menu.

WINEHOUSE'S DAD WANTS HER COMMITTED

Mitch Winehouse With Daughter Amy

Troubled singer Amy Winehouse's dad Mitch is seeking to have the star committed to a mental institution, because he is convinced this is the only way he can save his wild daughter from her alleged drug demons.Mitch is so desperate for the Grammy-winner to live a clean and sober lifestyle, and has grown increasingly worried over her erratic behaviour, which resulted in her arrest and subsequent police caution over accusations of assault earlier this week. And now Mitch wants his troubled daughter to be sectioned under the U.K.’s Mental Health Act, because she has proven she is at risk of hurting herself and others. He tells British newspaper the News of the World, "I want her sectioned. The situation is getting out of control. I want her off the street. I don’t think being somewhere (in rehab) for six weeks is going to cure her problems. I think it needs far more radical measures."I’ve been on the phone to Amy’s manager in Los Angeles and he’s starting things rolling. They are going to be speaking to doctors, psychologists and everything else. Ultimately, it’s the doctors who will decide if anybody is sectionable."I’ve told them (medical authorities) she is a danger to herself. There is evidence of self-harming and she’s a danger to other people because she’s attacked someone."Obviously as her dad I will try and do what’s best for her. Unfortunately, what I think is best for her and what she thinks is best for her are two different things."

OPRAH AFRICAN TRIAL TO BEGIN NEXT JULY

The former Oprah employee accused of abusing children at her all-girls academy in South Africa has had her trial postponed until next July. Former dorm matron Tiny Virginia Mokgobo was arrested last October on 14 charges including assault, indecent assault and soliciting underage girls to perform indecent acts. She is accused of committing the crimes at Winfrey’s Henley-on-Klip Leadership Academy over a period of four months in 2007. Mokgobo appeared in Sebokeng magistrates court, south of Johannesburg today when Magistrate Thelma Simpson set a new trial date of July 29th. The decision follows Monday’s court hearings, when Simpson granted a motion by Mokgobo’s lawyer to delay the trial until a further date to allow him more time to consult with his client. The trial was originally due to begin this week.Mokgobo, who has previously expressed her innocence in the charges, is expected to formally enter her plea when she next appears in court in July. Winfrey co-founded the academy in 2006, and in late 2007, issued a heartfelt apology to the students who suffered at the hands of school officials.

AMY WINEHOUSE VISITING THE POLICE AGAIN

Amy Winehouse

Always troubled singer Amy Winehouse's representative is denying reports the rehab singer has been arrested over allegations of assault and is insisting the star is "voluntarily" helping police with their enquiries.The talented songstress is alleged to have headbutted a man while drinking in The Good Mixer public house in Camden, north London in the early hours of Wednesday. She has also been accused of hitting Moroccan musician Mustapha el Mounmi, after he refused to give way to her at a snooker table.The alleged victim reportedly went to police on Thursday and reported his claim, prompting the police to take action.But previous reports claiming the star had been arrested last Friday over the incident have been proven to be false. A spokesman for the star has revealed she is due to attend Kentish Town police station in North London today to be quizzed by cops about the case, but will be attending of her own free will.The representative says, "Amy Winehouse will be voluntarily attending a London police station today by appointment with the police."We understand that she will be questioned in connection with an alleged incident in Camden in the early hours of April 23 2008." Meanwhile, Winehouse’s representatives have also been forced to clear the singer’s name in another incident, which occurred during a night out yesterday.The star began her evening at her regular haunt The Good Mixer, before moving on to the Made In Brazil bar.But the 24-year-old ended the night by being forcibly removed from the venue, with reports claiming she was ejected after being caught taking drugs in the toilet. A bar employee tells the U.K.’s Sky News, "She was in here last night. She went to the toilets and was gone a long time. When a member of staff went in there they found her in the cubicle with someone and they suspected she was taking drugs."We had no choice but to ask her to leave and she was taken outside. We don’t allow drug taking in this establishment." But Winehouse’s spokesman has hit back at the claims, confirming the star was thrown out of the Made In Brazil bar, but denying she was taking drugs.

UPDATE:

A rep from Scotland Yard has just told TMZ they have arrested Amy Winehouse on suspicion of assault. She is currently at the Holborn Police Station. She should be released within the hour.

ASHTON KUTCHER HATES WOMAN IN PANTS

Hollywood star Ashton Kutcher is slamming women who insist on wearing the pants in a new Harper’s Bazaar magazine article.The actor lists his ‘don’ts’ in the article, suggesting that he’s not the only guy who likes women in skirts and dresses and wearing no fragrance. He says, "If I can smell your perfume and we’re not making out, you’re wearing too much. More of a lot of things in life is better. Perfume does not apply." And, though he admits to liking women who cover up, he isn’t fond of what he calls the "Hillary Clinton look." He adds, "I like seeing a female body as much as the next guy, but a midriff on display does not do it for me."By the same token, sexlessness is just that. I call it the Hillary Clinton Look. She would be so much more appealing if she just took off the pantsuit (and) took a lesson from (iconic First Lady) Jackie Kennedy." The fussy star, who is wed to sexy actress Demi Moore, also urges women to leave the jewellery at home: "Women who wear big blingin’ stones don’t look like they have a lot of money; they look like they have a lot of someone else’s money."I don’t want my woman looking like she got bedazzled."

MICKY DOLENZ SIRIUS WITH BRUCE MORROW

Bruce Morrow And Micky Dolenz

Monkee-MICKY DOLENZ was back in New York yesterday in a big way. Fresh from Montego Bay, Micky was up at SIRIUS RADIO yesterday, with his pr-man, 'The Pasha' DAVID SALIDOR, for 3 radio interviews, set up with assistance from the station's STEVE LEEDS: The first was Sirius' Broadway station (BROADWAY'S BEST) with host Mike Parker. Dolenz talked about his experiences in ELTON JOHN and TIM RICE's AIDA and most recently, with STEPHEN SCHWARTZ and the recent national tour of PIPPIN he did. He also said that he was at Schwartz's recent Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, where Stephen received a star on the noted street. Micky revealed he was up for another national tour of a very prominent show, and should know within 2 weeks if it's a go.His next stop was the show, 60'S VIBRATIONS, where he not only picked the play list (Animals; Beatles; Beach Boys) but, recounted a number of very funny remembrances ... most notably, when he was hanging out at fellow-Monkee PETER TORK's house, in the Hollywood Hills, one day in the pool, when STEPHEN STILLS walked up, and said, listen to this song he wrote, and, he ended up playing for the first time "For What It's Worth", which went onto becoming a major record for his then-group The Buffalo Springfield. He also recounted hearing GRAHAM NASH play "Marrakesh Express" for the first times. Heady times indeed!Dolenz's last stop was an old friend, COUSIN BRUCE MORROW. Both of them were at CBS FM several years back, up until the station over night changed their format to the dreaded JACK. That failed miserably, and the station has since returned to their earlier format, but, sadly without the two. Morrow conducted what I feel has been one of the best interviews ever with Dolenz. Bruce then asked Micky to sign a guitar which will be auctioned at an upcoming Morrow-charity event. Morrow asked some TERRIFIC questions. That's clearly why he remains a legend. The interview will be broadcast next Wednesday ... worldwide via Sirius.Tomorrow night, Dolenz, with wife Donna, will be at THE CALLER premiere at The Tribeca Festival in lower Manhattan. This flick has generated a lot of buzz so far and is considered to be a sensation, with FRANK LANGELLA and ELLIOT GOULD. Monday night, Dolenz performs at NILE RODGERS' WE ARE FAMILY EVENT here in NYC. Micky performing with CHIC ... certainly not to be missed. Then on May 4, Dolenz, and his band, appear in Hoboken, at The Hoboken Arts & Music festival.

PETE WENTZ ON DEPRESSION AND ASHLEE

Singing star Pete Wentz is crediting Ashlee Simpson and his regular therapy sessions with helping him overcome depression. The Fall Out Boy admitted that he was once so depressed he tried to kill himself. But Pete is convinced that although he still battles with mental health issues, his relationship with Simpson has made him more emotionally balanced. He says, "The hardest thing about depression is that it is addictive. It begins to feel uncomfortable not to be depressed. You feel guilty for feeling happy."I think I’ve come to terms with that over the last six months. I’m in a happier place… Things are so good with Ashlee."To be in a position where you’re with your best friend and you can hang out with them all the time is great. I never have moments of doubt with her." The couple announced their engagement earlier this month.

So I’ll be leaving, back in a recurring capacity, but time for me to leave and find something else."

She explains, "She really has a way with children - she’s a natural nurturer.I just wish she had waited a bit." And, as for Britney, who was recently diagnosed bipolar amid her custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline, Lynne insists the eldest daughter would greatly benefit from spending more time with her young sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. She adds, "I pray for Britney every day to be a better mother. She’s gone through a lot of trauma, but she seems to be coming out of it, and it’s showing in her relationship with the boys. They’re really bonding."

ICON SHIRLEY TEMPLE BREAKS HER ARM

Movie icon Shirley Temple has been forced to cancel her 80th birthday celebrations planned for today, after breaking her arm.The veteran actress, who found fame starring in 1934 movie Bright Eyes when she was just six years old, was walking around her Woodside, California home in the dark when she fell and landed on her arm. Her injury is limiting her from accepting visits from friends and family, so her birthday will be very small. She reveals "I broke my arm last week at my house. It hurts quite a bit." "I’m spending my birthday quietly at home." Joking about her mishap, she adds: "People should turn on the lights when they are walking around in the dark." But her landmark age will not go completely unnoticed - Fox Home Entertainment, the video division of film studio 20th Century Fox, will release the sixth and final volume of a series of her movies to commemorate Temple’s birthday.

NEW YORK CITY'S BOWERY ROCKS AGAIN !

Randy Jones And Joan Jett

Joan Jett Performs

The nostalgia factor was smokin' hot at the grand opening of the new John Varvatos store at 315 Bowery, the site of the late and much-lamented punk mecca CBGB. The concept store, which has retained as much as possible of the old club’s character, played host to a benefit concert for VH1’s Save the Music Foundation. “Handsome” Dick Manitoba, the Dictators singer turned proprietor of Manitoba’s bar, introduced John Varvatos to the stage. “And isn’t it better that some of the history is preserved, unlike some of the other great New York spots, like 2nd Avenue Deli and the Palladium, which is now a NYU dorm?”Once again the famed CBGB stage was home to acts including Ronnie Spector, Cheetah Chrome (of the Dead Boys), and Ian Hunter (the former frontman of Mott the Hoople), but the real action was backstage. “It’s quite a night for characters,” the great punk photographer Mick Rock said with a chuckle as he squeezed past with that 'Macho Man' Randy Jones(Village People) to grab another Corzo Tequila margarita and watch Slash(Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver), Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Tom Morrello (Rage Against the Machine), Wayne Kramer (MC5), and actor Brekin Meyer perform “Kick out the Jams.” Gina Gershon, who had filmed a scene in the club for the movie Prey for Rock & Roll, ducked out after Joan Jett’s surprise performance, missing Perry Farrell’s energetic turn on stage. Outside behind the venue, Bobbby Cannavale, Zoe Kravitz, Jakob Dylan, Clem Burke (Blondie), Tika Sumpter (One Life to Live), and Sen Dog (Cypress Hill), reminisced about the old days. Back in the huge film-sized dressing room trailer pulled into the back alley behind the club, Joan Jett and Randy Jones traded war stories of the days of Neil Bogart music mogul of Casablanca and Boardwalk Records. “It has been nine years since I last played here,” said Jett."It's been THIRTY YEARS since I played here!', Jones declared, upping the ante! Jones topped the evening with: “I never thought that at CBGB’s I’d smell the mix of (pot) smoke and Bengay in the air. That's more like a Stones concert!”.
Only in New York, kids!

Nicole Kidman

Hollywood star Nicole Kidman is spearheading a huge campaign to raise awareness of violence against women. The sexy actress, who is also the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM), visited the UN headquarters yesterday to launch the Say No to Violence against Women campaign.She says, "One in three women will encounter violence in some way, shape or form against them in their lifetime. So much of it is shrouded in silence. What we are trying to do is say this is something that needs to be addressed."A lot of it is taking away the stigma, creating awareness and not making it a silent pandemic. I want to encourage people of all nations to unite behind our call to end violence against women." Kidman also appealed for increased financing for the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women, which gives grants for innovative efforts in developing countries to help combat the scourge.

SEX TAPE SCANDAL FOR BAM MARGERA ?

MTV Jackass star Bam Margera is at the center of a new alleged sex tape scandal, with very racy footage of the star reportedly to be released on a pay-per-view website.The Television star who has previously been romantically linked to Jessica Simpson, is allegedly shown in the tape performing sex acts with blonde Lindsay Hughes, the fiancee of New York radio host Gregg ‘Opie’ Hughes. Steppin’ Out magazine reports the tape has been obtained by a former employee of Gregg Hughes, who is now considering taking legal action in a bid to stop the x rated film being published on the Internet.The publication’s Chaunce Hayden tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "They’re doing the nasty, and I mean nasty. Hughes is taking legal action to prevent its distribution." Apparently, he’s so distraught, he’s banned the name ‘Bam’ from being mentioned on the (radio) show." The alleged video footage is sure to put Margera’s one-year marriage to Melissa Rothstein under further pressure. Just months into their marriage, in July 2007, Rothstein reportedly gave the star an ultimatum, to quit drugs or end up divorced.

UPDATE: Still to this day there is no sign of a sex tape. And now Hayden And Johnson from Page Six are feuding over the item that Hayden gave them. Page Six printed a retraction. In this business sometimes you get burnt with a un-reliable story. I could care less about any sex tape that i'm not in. Just reporting the news roundup !

JOAN COLLINS ON HER FOUR FAILED HUBBYS

Hollywood star Joan Collins regrets her four failed marriages, calling them "my filth".The 75 year old Dynasty actress, insists husband number five, Percy Gibson, is the real love of her life, and he’ll be her last. But some of her exes were big mistakes, made during periods of "madness". Recalling each of her former marriages, Collins says, "The first time (Maxwell Reed), I was 18 and much too young. My second (Anthony Newley) and third (Ronald Kass), I had children from them." But it’s husband number four, Peter Holm, who comes in for the heaviest criticism.The actress snarls, "(He) was a Swede and it (marriage) came in a moment of insanity… I was going through a madness phase." Collins and Holm were married for less than two years.The actress married her fifth husband, theatre boss Gibson, in 2002.

BARBRA STREISAND IS NOT BEING FUNNY

Funny Girl star Barbra Streisand is denying that she cancelled a planned appearance at Israel’s 60th anniversary celebrations as a snub to President George W. Bush. The Jewish singer was scheduled to sing at the huge event, hosted by the country’s president Shimon Peres, in Jerusalem next month on May 8th, where she was expected to perform a rendition of Hebrew prayer Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father Our King).But the singing star pulled out of the appearance yesterday prompting speculation that she was angered by the planned appearance of the president at the historic event. Streisand has long been a critic of the U.S. leader, voicing her displeasure in a series of statements on her official website, and she was reported to have cancelled the gig in protest. But Streisand’s spokesman Dick Gutman insists the rumors are not true. He tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "However she feels about our current president, that would not have precluded her attendance."And, besides, it’s a three-day event, so simultaneous participation would have been easily avoided." No other reason for Streisand’s withdrawal was given.

SANDRA BULLOCK'S NEW ECO-FRIENDLY LINE

Hollywood star Sandra Bullock is doing her bit to save the environment. She is launching a range of eco-friendly candles. Sandra unveiled her wax creations on an episode of Oprah Winfrey’s talk show today, Earth Day in the U.S. She revealed how she developed the line of candles using soy wax, after learning all about the chemicals that are normally used in their production.She explained, "I started researching and you find out about lead wicks and chemicals in your candles. (Soy wax) is a renewable resource." Sandra is very happy with her new hobby, she joked that it could provide her with a second career: "(It’s) something to fall back on."

JANET JACKSON WOULD DATE ALICIA KEYS

Alicia Keys

Singing star Janet Jackson is admitting a crush on Alicia Keys. Janet has been dogged by rumors that she’s gay and bisexual for years and she admits she no longer cares. But, if she had to choose a female, she’d pick Keys. She says, "I would pick Alicia Keys, for sure. I think she’s wonderful." And, if she could pick out her next life, Jackson insists she’d come back as a man - and date a sex-changed Jermaine Dupri, her current partner. She tells Eonline.com, "In my next life I’m going to come back as a guy and he’s going to be my bitch." Jackson is thrilled about her upcoming GLAAD Vanguard Award honor, because she’s convinced it comes at a time when gay acceptance is better than ever.The singer will be honored for her work as a gay rights advocate at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s 19th Annual Media Awards in Hollywood on Saturday. She tells Eonline.com, "You still have discrimination. It’s sad. It really is. But, I think, slowly but surely, it’s getting better."

Robert Funaro With Willy, Aisha And Steve Schrippia

When PALM WEST does a special event ... it is always extremely special. When their PR-man DAVID SALIDOR (The Pasha) alerts us to one ... we can always look forward to a wonderful time, and their event Monday night, for their new hand-crafted cocktail menu, by the mix-o-logists team of Willy & Aisa (of Contemporary Cocktails), was certainly no exception. GM CHRIS GILMAN (and his staff LARRY BRYANT, DOMINIC SASSONE, and, ANDREW TOBIN) proudly stood by and greeted each and every guest as they entered. That Gilman ... he does a hell of a job there. He is, the reason why the restaurant does consistently well. No question.Be it the heavenly Honeysuckle, which Palm-major domo BRUCE BOZZI, JR., was already sipping when we walked in, or, their special SCREAMING MIMI, champagne, vodka and strawberry juice, they delivered on just about everything.They are all a delicious addition to the already-stunning array of wines and liquors. The Pasha, also pointed out a new vodka, with the very subtle name of Chopin. I had to try it! And, it was good ... very good indeed. I, myself, immensely liked the delicately-named GENTLE PALM ... and, then we were immediately surrounded by many of the Palm-special celebrity names, like STEVE SCHIRRIPA and BOBBY FUNARO from The Sopranos; up-and-coming photographer to the stars JAMES LEVINE, with his lovely wife Alanna(who tried and liked the up-to-the-minute Mojito); portrait specialist ROBERT MILAZZO; Broadway lens-man AUBREY REUBEN; Penthouse-Pet JUSTINE JOLI; Palm-marketing guru ANDREW FREEMAN; our old friend MEREDITH APPLEBAUM and her fiance; and, the lovely SYLVIA WINRICH and FLO ANTHONY. Once we made our way back to one of their PDR (Private Dining Rooms), we were greeted by trays and trays of the Palm's patentee food ... with, more drinks.The new cocktails are simply ... terrific! One last note: On Sunday, Gilman, gave a special party for HAIRSPRAY's DARLENE LOVE, who was ending her long run with the terrific show ... he served, (Stricken) chicken and pancakes ... which is referenced in the show. She's great and we'll miss her! All in all ... another great night at PALM WEST ... which is, the BEST!

ROBERT DOWNEY JR. CALLS STARS ZOMBIES

Hollywood star Robert Downey Jr. is accusing other stars of being too consumed by their own celebrity and is calling his superficially-minded peers "zombies". Robert claims too many of the current crop of screen stars are more interested in being famous than making great movies.He tells GQ magazine, "For some people, fame and success is what finishes their thing, because in some twisted way that’s all they ever wanted. I know people like that."They’re like zombies. But they’re complete zombies. They’re done, they’re cool, in a very two-dimensional way. They can move anywhere inside the frame and they’re well-lit, and it’s fine."

LAWSUIT'S FLY OVER RAY CHARLES ESTATE

Ray Charles

Singing legend Ray Charles children want to take charge of the singer’s recordings and memorabilia after suing the trustees of his huge estate and claiming mismanagement. In lawsuit targeted mainly at Charles’ former manager, Joe Adams, many of Charles’ 12 children claim their father’s legacy has been mishandled.The children want to take charge of all the recordings, property and artifacts relating to their father, as well as marketing decisions and issues relating to the late singer’s charity foundations. Adams, who signed on as Charles’ manager in 1961, was named head of Ray Charles Enterprises and trustee of the children’s trusts following his death in June, 2004. Mary Anne Den Bok, the mother of Charles’ youngest child, Corey, tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper that Adams’ actions, and those of other executives of the estate, have, "distorted and trivialised" Charles’ legacy.Den Bok, an attorney, has filed the new lawsuit in the name of her son and nine half-brothers and sisters. A spokesman for Adams insists the new allegations against his client are "old" and "baseless".

ZSA ZSA GABORS HUSBAND PAYS PAPARAZZI

Hollywood icon Zsa Zsa Gabors fake prince husband Frederic Von Anhalt is being forced to pay $4,510 in compensation for an attack on a celebrity photographer. In his complaint, Dirk Smeten claimed the 62-year-old angrily approached him in Beverly Hills, California in May 2005. Smeten was left him with a cut lip and face, swelling, pain, high blood pressure, headaches and stress symptoms after attempting to photograph nutty Von Anhalt. According to the complaint filed in Los Angeles California Superior Court, "Plaintiff thought he was going to be killed by defendant," Von Anhalt says he attempted to settle the case by offering Smeten $20,000. But Smeten was seeking $137,000 in damages. On Friday, the judge awarded Smeten $4,510.Von Anhalt says, "I knew I had to pay something. His lip was bleeding. The bleeding lip was probably when I pushed the camera in his face."

NO CHINA BAN FOR ACTOR GEORGE CLOONEY

Actor George Clooney is calling for an end to the global hate campaign against China and is insisting plans to boycott the Beijing Olympics are "excessive". Hollywood actress Mia Farrow has publicly condemned China for its alleged support of genocide in Sudan’s Darfur region and director Steven Spielberg stepped down from his position as artistic director for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. But Clooney is a staunch Darfur campaigner and insists boycotting the Games isn’t the necessary action to bring peace to the stricken region. He says, ""It seems excessive to boycott the Games because China does business in Darfur. It’s always more important to keep a line of communication open."

KEITH RICHARDS HAS 3 THOUSANDS GUITARS

Keith Richards

Rolling Stone Icon Keith Richards has 3,000 guitars and only has time to play ten of them.The ageless rocker is sad he cannot use all of his prized instruments, so is considering opening a museum to put the collection on view. He says, "I’ve probably got too many guitars," "I’ve only got one pair of hands. "It’s an incredible collection of instruments, beautiful instruments. But I can’t play them all. "Maybe I will give them away or make a museum."

PETE DOHERTY CAUSES DRUG CRACKDOWN

Jailed Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty has caused a crackdown on drugs after he was allegedly pictured taking heroin in the prison. Last week the British newspaper The Sun published photos of Doherty inside London’s Wormwood Scrubs jail, claiming the star has continued using hard drugs while behind bars.The government’s Prison Service has since ordered a drug sweep with officers seizing cocaine, heroin and cannabis from prisoners. However, a spokesman for the Prison Service says the raids were not connected to Doherty, adding "A full lockdown search was conducted following significant intelligence." The troubled rocker was jailed for 14 weeks on April 8th in Wormwood Scrubs penitentiary for "breach of time-keeping, non-compliance of his (probation) order and using different drugs". We don't think the other inmates are going to be happy with you Pete. Better lube up now !

JAMES EDSTROM-EDITOR

HILLARY CLINTON DELIGHTED AT FAMILY TREE

Hillary Clinton is very delighted about published reports that say she’s a distant cousin of both pop singer Madonna and Hollywood star Angelina Jolie. The Democrat presidential hopeful admits she’s "thrilled" by a new family tree study that links her to the two superstars and humanitarians. She says, "I have no idea whether there is any truth to it (study) or not, but they’re both strong independent women."They’ve also been very quick to give back to charities and humanitarian causes, so it would be an honor to be related to them." In the same familial study, Clinton’s Democratic opponent for the presidency, Barack Obama, was linked to Jolie’s partner Brad Pitt.

JAMES LEVINE WON'T STAGE A PHOTOGRAPH

Every great photographer has a signature technique for capturing unique views of their subjects, and James Levine is no different. According to him, “I don't like staged photographs. I am not your typical photographer who poses his subjects. I like them to relax and be themselves. When I worked in fashion photography, I grew to resent the way that clothes became the star. In my photos, the subject is the star, no matter what they are wearing or what they are doing.” From an early age, James has been fascinated with both music and photography. It is little wonder that musicians are amongst his favorite subjects. “Actors make careers out of portraying characters, while musicians expose their true feelings through their songs. I love photographing musicians … and capturing their emotions.” His attraction to the world of music and musicians comes very naturally. His mother is songwriter and Broadway composer Lucy Simon, and her sister is Carly Simon. “It is easy to become interested in music when Carly is your aunt, and James Taylor is your uncle. In addition, one of my other uncles is Peter Simon, who is one of the best known photographers. Not only did he take music lessons when he was growing up, it was actually New Orleans rocker Dr. John who taught Levine to play the piano when he was a child.“Ever since I was the age of seven, I have had a Nikon camera around my neck,” he laughs. He studied at the International Center for Photography (ICP), and then James then attended the University of Wisconsin, where he received his BA in Communications in 1994.Much of his experience as a master lens smith, was gleaned by working as an assistant to other professional photographers, including Ken Regan of Time magazine, and fashion icon Richard Avedon. He also grew up being friends with famed portrait and magazine photographer Lynn Goldsmith. Apparently much of their photographic alchemy has rubbed off on James Levine, as he has developed his own trademark style of capturing the souls of his subjects on film.Levine’s growing portfolio includes his photos of Chris Rock, Mariah Carey, Paul Newman, Spike Lee, G.E. Smith, Kevin Bacon, Dr. John, Carly Simon, and James Taylor.One of James’ friends is Broadway director Des McAnuff (Jersey Boys and Tommy). In addition, James’ mother wrote the lyrics to the recent Broadway production of The Secret Garden. Now that McAnuff and Lucy Simon are collaborating on the Broadway bound musical version of Dr. Zhivago, it will be James who will be chronicling the progress of the production with his camera. “It is an exciting project,” James explains. “They have already staged a workshop production of it in La Jolla, and the Broadway production promises to be an incredible spectacle. I plan on being right there to capture it on film.”

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio is going to join television talker Tyra Banks as a neighbor, The model-turned-talk show host has reportedly bought a bamboo-floored apartment in New York’s trendy, so called energy-efficient Riverhouse building. Actor DiCaprio bought a luxury pad in the complex last month, according to reports. Riverhouse, which was built with non-pollutant materials and solar-powered energy, overlooks the Hudson River, and comes with programmable thermostats, a 24-hour fresh filtered air system, a dog spa, media cafe and rooftop green landscaping.

He has no fashion style, this outfit looks horrible, either you are a man or a woman. The gay club kids look better than him. The purse does not match anything but his shaved ass. The pants look like they came from a discount store. The sneakers don't fit anywhere and he needs to color his hair better. I look like Britney Spears more when I wake up in the morning !

WATCHDOG QUESTIONS ELTON JOHN NYC GIG

Elton John At Radio City Music Hall

Rocket Man Elton John's fundraising event for Hillary Clinton has been questioned by an American government watchdog, because the singer is not a U.S. citizen.A New York concert the rocker staged last week raised $2.5 million for the Democrat senator’s presidential campaign. He also used the famous Radio City Music Hall stage to show his support..But Judicial Watch claims the fundraiser broke a law prohibiting the raising of funds for election campaigns by foreign nations, because John is British. A statement from the group reads, "Sir Elton John is not a citizen of the United States and is therefore prohibited from making any contribution to Senator Clinton’s presidential campaign." However, Clinton has hit back, explaining a loophole allowed the star to offer his support.Her spokesperson tells the New York Times, "Hillary’s campaign has complied with the law. Since 1987, foreign nationals may volunteer their time for campaigns on an uncompensated basis. Elton John is simply volunteering his uncompensated time to appear at the concert. This appearance is consistent with past rulings".
