Where's an extra purity ring when you need one?! The eldest member of America's favorite evangelical Christian dandy boy band, Kevin Jonas, was forced to use an unsanitary port-o-potty while out at a baseball field in L.A.

Luckily neither the pomade in his hair nor his skinny jeans were injured.

Move over, A-Roid -- Jewel has now taken your place as the face of cheating in pro sports. Alright, it's dancing ... but still.
Jewel took to her blog yesterday to announce she is battling tendonitis in her knee as she prepares for the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars." But Jewel, unlike seemingly every baseball player, openly admits she is taking steroids to help her stay healthy. She writes, "Hopefully these steroids will really do the trick and I can keep bad flare ups at a bay in the future."
It is unknown what ABC's policy is on performance-enhancing drugs in reality dance competition shows. Certainly if Jewel should go on to win, "DWTS" purists will call for an asterisk next to her name....

File this in the category of "don't trust the flacks who shovel B.S. about their clients": Contrary to the lies we got a few days back that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has not committed to doing a movie with Sylvester Stallone ... Ahnold himself says he is.

The Guv was on George Stephanopoulos' show today, saying he will indeed support his bud by shooting a scene in Sly's movie, "The Expendables."
A few days ago, the Guv's media hack double-talked us and said the only plan the Governor had was to get the Caleeefornia budget passed -- that he knew nothing about a movie. It was so obvious he was lying, but that was his story.
Ditto Sly's rep, said nothing was solid about the Guv doing the movie, even though a rep for the movie's own executive producer told us he was doing a scene.
People were giving Arnold heat for leaving the State to do a movie. Clearly his reps felt they could lie about it until the budget was approved, as if the State is no longer in crisis.
How stupid do they think we are?

"Saturday Night Live" will not let a silly little beating stand in the way of what could be a rating's bonanza.
Kenan Thompson told Us Magazine Chris Brown is more than welcome on "SNL" anytime, saying, "We don't care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings! If we had them both on the show, that would be crazy."
But wait, there's more. Kenan says, "I know how women can get when you get a text message from another female, so I'm just saying -- you have to learn that you can't put your
hands on a female."
Kenan calls the whole Rihanna thing "an unfortunate situation."
There's a Latin phrase, res ipsa loquitur. Translation: The thing speaks for itself.

Anyone else think Whitney Port's hair accessory looks like a giant bird dropped a giant dump on her head? Anyone?

If you wanna get your child the gift of mental illness and homicidal nightmares for their birthday, just give them the Hallmark Joker b-day card -- which plays a voice recording of the phrase "Let's put a smile on that face" when opened ... and watch the smile on their face disappear. Lest we mention the bad taste for Heath Ledger's family....

From the waist up, Serena Williams was schoolmarm chic -- but the PTA might have a problem with those pants, which look like they were picked off the floor of a Spearmint Rhino.

Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens were "spotted" in the adult section of a store somewhere in the world, and just happened to oblige a strange woman with a photo. You know, no strings attached.

Something about this smells, and it isn't the party sheep over Zac's right shoulder.

David Hasselhoff let us know how to say "Merry Christmas" in German -- but when he was done with our questions, all he had to do was turn around and have his embroidered booty tell us to "Back Hoff."

Joaquin Phoenix decided to spit rhymes into a mic the other night at a bar in Culver City, Calif. -- which caused everyone who heard him to spit up in their mouths.

The guy just quit acting to become a rock star ... and if this freestyle disaster is any clue as to how his music career will go, let's just say it's DOA.

One of the guys from 'NSYNC who isn't Justin or Lance claims the only reason he was at a super-discounted outlet tent in Hollywood yesterday was to "take his friend there."

Rrrrright.
