The best in delicious dirt!

Nick at nite?

Not too long ago, I dropped the hint of a possible split between Jessica Simpson and that one guy she married that one time.

You know, that guy who's in that show with her. David? Sean? Alouicious? Oh yes--Nick!

In the middle of their whole "nothing will ever tear us apart even though we've stopped wearing our wedding rings" denialathon, Nick thought it would be a good idea to attend a wild bachelor party featuring the kind of girls who usually entertain at bachelor parties.

And like the well-oiled gossip machines they are, both the National Enquirer and Star magazine cranked out headlines alluding to the fact that Nick broke the "look but don't touch" rule.

Nick, his publicist and the entertainer in question all deny any wrongdoing, and say that the allegations are 100 percent false.

Usually, three people all saying the same thing is all it would take to convince me, but consider this: Nick is a man--he's built to lie. The publicist is paid to lie. The entertainer is probably being paid to get a serious case of amnesia.

So we'll just have to wait it out. In every group, there's the guy who thinks it's a good idea to videotape everything so he can have it as a keepsake. I'm sure if offered the right price, his house will get "burglarized" and the tape will end up on Pay per View.

That's a rap!

Relationships in the rap-music industry deteriorate faster than the cartilage in Whitney Houston's nose.

So it's no surprise that R. Kelly is suing Jay-Z for $75 million and has dropped out of their "Best of Both Worlds" tour.

According to RollingStone .com, the drama started when R. Kelly started showing up late--or sometimes not at all--because the lighting cues were off. We all know that when the lighting is off, that makes it impossible to sing.

Jay-Z tried to downplay the incidents, saying that R. Kelly was a perfectionist who likes to do everything the right way, but I guess on Friday he finally snapped.

According to spywitnesses, R. Kelly pulled another stunt where he walked offstage because he saw people in the crowds pointing guns at him.

After security checked the crowd, R. Kelly tried to make his way back on stage--but had to make a detour to the hospital after someone in Jay-Z's crew assaulted him with pepper spray.

Kelly decided to take the high road and slap Jay-Z with a lawsuit.

What happened to the good old days, when people used to settle things in gang fights? It's just so much more entertaining.

Hey, baby

I've tried to avoid these rumors for several weeks, but I'd have to pack up my PC and quit if they turned out to be true and I hadn't brought them to your attention: According to MSN.com, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are actively trying to procreate.

Some strongly believe it's already happened, others believe it will in the near future, and a few--like me--think they should just slap a diaper on a yard gnome since their collective gene pool leaves a lot to be desired.

Someone leaked to US Weekly that Kevin had personally called them to give the good news, but a rep for the couple swiftly denied any possibilities of any Federline Jrs.

Back to school

Mary-Kate Olsen has decided to grace the city of New York once again with her presence. She's going to school with the rest of the boys and girls, and she's even eating solid food.

Name dropping

Ben Affleck can't be bothered with remembering his girlfriend's name, so he's developed a game plan: Date only girls named Jennifer. Last time it was Lopez, this time it's "Alias" star Garner.

The two made their romantic debut into society at the World Series, where Ben signed autographs and Jennifer hung out in the Red Sox dugout before the game started.

So Ben's found a girl whose name he'll always remember, and he doesn't have to have that Bennifer tattoo removed from his tuckus.
