Will Nicole Plea Out?
Nicole Richie will have to decide today whether to take a plea deal offered by prosecutors in her DUI case -- though she's armed with evidence about her cop-administered drug tests, as TMZ discovered yesterday, which may hold the key to her defense.

Rosie – Elisabeth's the Devil!
Rosie O'Donnell will say it's just comedy, but the rage that propelled her off "The View" was very much in evidence on a recent cruise, when she mocked and trashed fren-nemesis Elisabeth Hasselbeck in front of 1500 people. A source tells Us that O'Donnell used a giant photo of Hasselbeck's face drawn as the devil, and said, "Her only f-king credit was 'Survivor.' Come on!" (Guess she won't be going back anytime soon.) After all that, she said of E, "Just go have your baby and have a nice life."

Gene Simmons tells AOL's Spinner that today's rock stars are a bunch of poseurs, and that the world's quintessential pose-expert, Paris Hilton, is the biggest rock star of all. "No, there's not a single rock star left. All the rock stars and the biggest ticket sellers in the world are from days gone by. There's not a new band in the world that even comes close. Paris Hilton is a bigger rock star than anybody ... she just doesn't play guitar." ... Oprah Winfrey will produce and Denzel Washington will direct -- together for the first time on a film called "The Great Debaters," and 24Sizzler.com has an exclusive excerpt from the script. ... The Boss is back with a new album, and FOX News says it's going to be with the E Street Band, so no "Seeger Sessions" stuff or solo introspective head-scratching, just good ol' rock 'n' roll.
