Leave it to The Rock's cousin to clear up the whole "female Gladiator who allegedly beat up her husband" story.
Erin Toughill, a new addition to the "American Gladiator" cast, allegedly smacked up her hubby several times -- including once on their honeymoon -- and he since has filed for annulment.
Toa, another Gladiator on the show who also happens to be The Rock's cousin, says he's heard the tale from Erin herself ... and she tells a greatly different story.

Russell Simmons wants to be a baby daddy, even though baby momma ain't so sure.
We obtained a legal document filed by the Russell man, asking for joint custody of his two kids. Kimora Lee Simmons tried to block her ex by asking for sole custody when she filed for divorce back in March. Bitter, bitter.

Hulk Hogan isn't cooperating with his wife's questions about how much bling he's rolling in. Maybe daughter Brooke can gently massage the issue.
Hulk's soon to be ex-wife Linda filed with Florida's Pinellas County Judicial court asking the Hulkster to come clean with how much money he makes -- and she needs to know right quick. Linda is trying to schedule a hearing ahead of a May 13 deadline or else the two could lose an $840,000 deposit on a Vegas condo.
Stay tuned for the battle of the Bolleas...

Heidi Montag has outsold Posh Spice -- in clothing sales.
Unlike Victoria Beckham's dVb collection -- which is now on the sale rack at Loehmann's -- Montag's clothing line Heidiwood has completely sold out at Robertson Blvd. boutique Kitson. "The Hills" are alive with the sound of cash registers.
But if you want to get your hands on one of her hoochie shorts or cheapie dresses you'll have to look elsewhere -- sources tell us Kitson won't be getting a new shipment of Heidi's line until the summer or fall collection comes out. Make it stop!
Moral of this story: It's a lot easier to sell crappy $44.95 jeans, than crappy $250 ones!
UPDATE: The dVb line is holding its own! Posh's line has completely sold out at the Reseda Loehmann's - beautiful Reseda, California - where the "Karate Kid" lived!

Former BFFs Heather Locklear and Denise Richards are both in Hawaii this week -- but that's clearly where the similarities end.
Heather's 46-year-old rockin' bikini bod proved she's still hotter than any husband-stealer 10 years younger.
Meanwhile, 37-year-old Denise will just have to be content with all the extras that come with being a wannabe reality TV star.

50's on the warpath again -- where's Ja Rule when you need him?!
Fiddy is blasting Alicia Keys for saying, "Gangsta rap was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other." 50 Cent now responds, "I don't like people who don't like me ... that statement changes my perception of Alicia Keys totally. It's just not really a bright comment ..." Apparently, it takes being shot nine times to gain that kind of wisdom!
For her part, Keys now says the comment was taken out of context. A little scared, Alicia?
50 tells Showbuzz that in his eyes, Keys is now in the same category as Oprah. As in what -- filthy rich and all-powerful?

A war as big as the one between LC and Heidi nearly broke out on the set of "Live with Regis and Kelly" this morning when the dancing, motor-oiled, Scientolo-grandmama stepped up to the perky one for interrupting Regis.
Kelly looked like she was about to rippa that frozen face off.

Don't call Kimmie "spoiled" -- she prefers going by "disgusting ... cottage cheese stuffed in a trash bag."
Her former BFF Paris Hilton trashed her booty all over a Las Vegas radio station yesterday, but all Kim cared about was being called a "spoiled brat" by TMZ.
Actually Kim, we called you a "spoiled bitch," and we're stickin' by our story.

Jurassic supermodel Lauren Hutton's makeup line comes in four shades: pink, yellow, olive and "Oprah dark"!
While hawking her jank cosmetics at some South Carolina makeup event this weekend, the 64-year-old black-eyed beauty made a Don Imusian slip and corrected a woman who had picked up the wrong shade of her foundation by saying,"This is Oprah dark. You are not Oprah dark." Paging Hermès! For the record, Hutton's makeup comes in brown -- not "Oprah dark."
Don't expect to see Lauren's face paint on Oprah's "Favorite Things" episode anytime soon!

TMZ has learned Lorenzo Lamas got into a screaming match with Shauna Sand this week over her decision to move her botoxed face and family to South Beach.
Lorenzo's lawyer, Cary Goldstein, Lorenzo told Shauna if she even dares to try, he will be in court before she even boards the plane. Lorenzo feels he's the only "stable influence" in the family (we can't argue with that) and does not want his kids living with her thousands of miles away from him. Lorenzo has pretty much had full physical custody of the kids for more than a month now, while Shauna does her thing.
You ask what her thing is? We're told she's frustrated by the L.A. scene and feels South Beach will give her much-needed Miami heat.
This would be a devastating blow to the cosmetic surgery industry in Beverly Hills.

Donald Trump needs to do one of two things: either stop bashing Rosie O'Donnell for five minutes, or just go ahead and send her an open invitation for a romp in his four-poster. Obsess much?
The Comb-Back King has yet again projected his anger away his heinous hairdo and towards Rosie -- this time attacking her about an article put out by a gossip rag that says Rosie allegedly "manhandles" her 12-year-old son.
"Well, I think Rosie is a very abusive person," the Donald told Access Hollywood last night, "She's a slob and I'm not surprised to see it."
The foreplay has gone on long enough.

Three-time Tour de France winner Greg LeMond has been pissing in seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong's water bottle for years -- and now LeMond's biz partner wants out of its deal with him.
Trek Bicycles is hauling LeMond into court to end their business deal immediately because, as the lawsuit says, Greg has "impaired" and "destroyed" their $5 million partnership by dissing cycling hero Lance. The has-been rider has been publicly accusing Armstrong of doping for years -- but who's the dope now?
And Trek is also pissed that LeMond has been selling their super-pricey wheels on the cheap -- they say he's buying bikes at an employee discount, then selling them through back channels, and not through licensed dealers. A lawyer for LeMond couldn't immediately be reached for comment.
