Britney -- We Need Less "Law & Order"

On Friday's season premiere of "Law & Order," the protagonists are an aspiring rapper and a rich young pop princess who has a reputation for being careless with her baby. Sound familiar?

The long-running police procedural is offering up a not-so-subtle simulacrum of the Spears-Federline family in the episode, though of course what actually happens to the wannabe hip-hop artist doesn't have any basis in reality -- the K-Fed-like character, J-Train, becomes the prime suspect in the killing of an NYPD detective. For the record, of course, K-Fed has never been accused or suspected of killing anyone, except perhaps his own musical career.

Elsewhere on the show, as the New York Post reports, the Britney-ish "Sky Sweet" complains in the episode about paparazzi snapping her as she loses her grip on her baby in Central Park and taking pics of the kid in her car while she goes into a coffee shop to grab a drink. And the writers of the show have seen fit to include some not-very-family-friendly rapping in the show, says the Post, as "J-Train" is depicted recording some racy rhymes before getting arrested by detectives.

"Jeopardy" Champ Didn't Spend Money on "Coke or Hookers"

Even though he won $2.5 million in a record 75 appearances on "Jeopardy," Ken Jennings hasn't even bought himself a new car. In an interview with USA Today, Jennings says he wants to avoid the possibility of becoming a sad "Where Are They Now?" story. "That would be totally ironic, right? You thought he was smart on 'Jeopardy,' but then he spent all his money on coke or hookers or whatever," explains Jennings, who's a Mormon.

The former game-show champ is hyping a new book about trivia that's coming out today, and is developing his own TV game show with the producer of "Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire" which, conceptually, is "Ken Jennings vs. the rest of the world." He'll also be on an NBC game show called "1 vs. 100" this fall to be hosted by Bob Saget, where he takes on 100 players all by himself.



Paris Not Victim of Virgin

It's been a very eventful week of nightcrawling for Paris Hilton, if you believe the hype. Various reports say that she was the victim of an elaborate prank by Virgin Airlines honcho Richard Branson, that she and her sister played mean girls to Mischa Barton at a Fashion Week party, and that she's been banned from one of Gotham's hottest new spots.

The press apparently can't get enough of the lodging heiress' nocturnal movements, whether or not they resemble the truth or not. The Daily Mail of London, for instance, reports (via MSNBC) that Paris was pranked by Branson at a party at his Oxfordshire estate last weekend, where he told Hilton that she would have the "starring role" at the Alice-in-Wonderland-themed bash, then dressed the entire 60-person waitstaff as Alice, and told guests like Princes William and Harry to order drinks from her. Very funny – except that Paris was in New York, as her rep Elliot Mintz helpfully points out.

What's more, Page Six reports today that Paris has been given the permanent 86 from Ian Schrager's Gramercy Park Hotel, because "the likes of Paris Hilton and her ilk are not welcome here." Finally, Rush & Molloy report that Paris and Nicky's favorite furry friend "Greasy Bear" Davis was complaining loudly about being at the same party as ex-girlfriend Mischa Barton Saturday night. "People were getting sick of hearing it, because he just kept repeating himself," says a R&M source. But while Mischa sniped across the room about Paris getting a Teen Vogue cover, Paris and Nicky sent daggers with their eyes across the room, and then took Brandon off into the night.

Eva: No More TV For Me!

Eva Longoria says she's done with TV after "Desperate Housewives." Though she doesn't give any particular reason for her stance, and doesn't plan on leaving "Housewives," she tells the AP, "I love doing both (TV and film), but I would never do another TV show after`Desperate Housewives.' No." Her most recent film role was in the not-terribly-well-received "The Sentinel," with Michael Douglas and Kiefer Sutherland, and she'll be in "How I Met My Boyfriend's Dead Fiancee" in 2007 with Jason Biggs and Paul Rudd.

Party Favors: Jack Nicholson Checks Into Hospital, Xtina Ditched In Favor of Bobby Brown, Bobby Bacala To Do Late-Night

According to a source cited by Page Six, Jack Nicholson has checked into an LA-area hospital for "an infection," though no further details were available. His agent had no comment ... Christina Aguilera was replaced, reports Lloyd Grove, by Bobby Brown as the cover subject of the October issue of Vibe magazine, which made Aguilera's people fuming mad. Her power-broker manager, Irving Azoff, sent a "sabre-rattling" letter to the mag, which says that it was a regime change that caused the switch ... The ever-lovable Steve Schirripa (aka Bobby Bacala on "The Sopranos") will be hosting a late-night talk show that'll be not unlike FOX Sports' "Best Damned Sports Show," with star guests and taped man-on-the-street interviews.

it's apparent greasy bear still has some residue feelings left for MB. i firmly believe peeps would rather party w/MB than him. also if i were the hilton airheads, i'd watch out. MB doesn't seem like a shrinking violet to me. i don't think she's going to disappear into some room in the back to wait for them to leave. personally, i hope she goes OC psycho on them :-).

yea right:  1980 days ago

Does this cow even sing & dance for her tacos anymore? Will she be forever famous for a few tunes and writhing movements several years ago? The state of Hollywierd is just sad. Illigitimate babies (pitt/jolie, cruise/holmes) are all the rage now. What fine examples for today's youth.

Eva Longoria is done with tv shows. Did anyone even know who she was before "housewives"? She should shut her mouth and be thankful she's getting a paycheck. She's marginally hot when she's completely made up but a trainwreck out of makeup. Going to concentrate on movies, Eva? Good decision considering how popular "the sentinel" was. Idiot.

Ha! Eva won't do television after DH? Wish that went for all of her lousy commercials. Another sellout who ends up too big for her L'Oreal.

So Eva isn't going to work anymore after her show is over?
I can't see her having a career on the big screen. Maybe she'll do commercials.

Her career is just about over anyway

eva is well overrated if she thinks she is going to make it big on the big screen, she is crazy, and the name of her new movie tells it all, it should bring in about 3 cents. she is so stuck on herself, why she has a boyfriend is beyond me.

why does tom cruise bring his hair down to make himself look younger, that is crzy he has a youthful looking face, and why does he cover up his face with sunglasses all the time and know he is making katie do the same, why did he ever leave nicole she had so much class, this one doesn't even put makeup on and if i see that pic of her one more time a foot over tom kissing him with that horrible looking green evening dress i am going to just die.
