You Didn't Hear it From Me
Hey there! I wanted you all to know that I've been inspired to start posting my weekly gossip in blog form.

I was inspired by "Rance." Heard about this? It's supposedly a famous actor's anonymous blog. There are all kinds of rumors going around about whom it is. There's speculation that it's George Clooney, Owen Wilson, Tobey Maguire, Vince Vaughn, Ron Livingston and a slew of others. My guess is Jim Carrey, but I really have no idea. Why don't you check it out and let me know who you think it is! Post your comments to my blog, baby!

Can you just imagine the nerdy offspring of this pair? Cool nerds, I'm sure, but nerds nonetheless.

Hot new couple alert: Sofia Coppola and Quentin Tarantino. The two talented directors were spotted Friday at Downtown Cipriani, and Saturday at Hudson Bar & Books. The next day they were strolling, arms around each other, through the West Village. Coppola, who has been single since she ditched hubby Spike Jonze last year, dipped into World of Video on Greenwich Avenue with Tarantino. The two rented some movies and left looking "very cozy." A rep for the directors said they are "good friends." (PageSix.com)

Is there anyone out there who doesn't think MJ did it? I think he's going to the slammer this time.

You have to wonder about Michael Jackson's claim that he replaced Ben Brafman and Mark Geragos as his lawyers because they weren't paying his case enough attention. Brafman confided to a friend just a couple of days ago how he would be flown out to L.A. first-class and put up in a suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel to have just a 20-minute meeting with Jackson (above), who would sit quietly and barely say a word about the child-molesting charges against him. "Michael Jackson shows less concern and interest in his case than any client I've ever had," Brafman told one friend. (PageSix.com)

Every article in every tab about his says the same thing: ain't nothin' going on.

How much would they have to pay you extra to have a hot love scene with Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie? According to Star magazine, Pitt and Jolie are splitting $4 million to keep the steamiest parts of a scene in their flick Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, is reportedly not amused about costar-mating Angelina (she poached ex Billy Bob from then fianc?e Laura Dern) getting sexy on the set with her man. But sources in both the Star and Us Weekly poo-poo the rumors, with a denial from Brad's rep and sources saying that Jen is often on the set, waiting for Brad in his trailer. Tabloid mavens will notice, however, that all the set photos depicting Brad and Angelina's togetherness have been in the mags for weeks. So, there may be onscreen heat, but it doesn't seem to radiate offscreen. Still, the $4 million money shot (rumored to be Brad's naked bum and Angelina full frontal) might just be a wise investment in advance publicity. (Star.com)

Courtney is so far gone she can't even temp a self-proclaimed sex addict.

Courtney Love's attempts to shock R&B hunk Usher failed miserably when the odd couple met for the first time on a TV show recently. The controversial rocker decided to greet the singer wearing only a lacy blue thong when he arrived backstage at "The View." But Usher was far from impressed -- he simply took one look at her and quipped, "Where are your clothes, baby?" (The Daily Dish, SFGate.com)

I'm sorry, but Nicolas Cage sends my gag-o-meter sky high.

Nicolas Cage moves fast. Just two months ago, he started dating 19-year-old waitress Alice Kim. Now an eagle-eyed photographer for the London Sun has caught the pretty brunette wearing a huge diamond and emerald engagement ring. The two met on Valentine's Day when a dateless Cage and pals walked into Sushi Avenue in Los Angeles, and Kim waited on them. Last weekend, Cage, 40, treated Kim and her family to a weekend at Disneyland. A rep for Cage declined comment. (Imdb.com)

What's UP with Britney and all the dancers?!? And how much do you want to bet she made a play for Cris Judd?

Britney Spears' new squeeze, dancer Kevin Federline, has a 7-months-pregnant fianc?e who is speaking out about the pop tart's relationship with him. Yesterday, PAGE SIX printed photos of Spears and Federline, 26, frolicking on a Santa Monica beach and revealed how the couple had left the Beverly Hills Hotel together in Spears' white Mercedes convertible. Now Federline's longtime girlfriend, actress Shar Jackson, 27, is dishing to Us Weekly: "He called me and said he didn't want me to read about it somewhere before he told me. We haven't broken up - yet." Jackson, a recurring character on TV's "Moesha," added that she wanted to "have a talk" with Spears. "Being seven months pregnant, I can't afford to be stressed out." The magazine suggests Spears didn't know Federline had a girlfriend and reports that Spears appeared frazzled at L.A. International Airport the night of April 24, sporting "tear-smudged black eye makeup." This wouldn't be the first time that Spears has been accused of beguiling a male dancer already in a committed relationship. She was said to have had a fling last year with dancer Columbus Short, whose wife Brandi was eight months pregnant. (PageSix.com)

I can't help it I love Janice Dickenson.

"America's Next Top Model" judge Janice Dickenson says Gisele Bundchen walks "like a Clydesdale." (The Scoop, Msnbc.com)

Is Jon Bon Jovi still relevant?

Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has confessed his secret crush: news anchorwoman Katie Couric.
The Bon Jovi frontman insists he admires the 47-year-old for her enthusiasm and her body.
He gushes, "She's hot. She gets all sweet for the morning news and she gets all sassy at night. Katie's got a nice booty." (The Daily Dish, SFGate.com)
