The Claws Are Out -- Girl Fight at Kress!

We'd like to think this brutal battle erupted over politics or how to settle conflict in the Middle East -- but one chick probably just called the other a "bitch," and she strongly disagreed. With her fist.

Spitzer Hooker Booker Dupes Uma's Folks

The woman who helped book Eliot Spitzer's trysts with Ashley Dupre booked a job with Uma Thurman's folks -- under an assumed name.

Tanya Hollander, who knows a thing or two about secret identities, got a job at the Menla Mountain Retreat, an upstate conference center run by Robert and Birgitte Thurman, even though she was about to get probation for her involvement in the Emperor's Club VIP prostitution ring. She used a fake name, Tania Robyn Cyrlin, and didn't tell the Thurmans about her past.

The managing director of Menla says, "Clearly, had we been aware, we might have hired someone else."

Fool Us Once, Sue You; Twice, Screw You

Duane "Dog" Chapman and wife Beth have escalated their war against their former talent agent, claiming he and his company have deceived them yet again.

The Chapmans are embroiled in a fight over fees Boris Krutonog and his company, Pivot Point Entertainment, allegedly began collecting in connection with an A&E deal. The Chapmans say Krutonog secretly negotiated a producer's fee with A&E, which is based on a percentage of their earnings from the network. The Chapmans claim the fee is a subterfuge for a talent agent's fee, which Krutonog can't collect because he is not a licensed agent.

Now the Chapmans claim Krutonog is at it again, secretly filing a claim with the New York Labor Commissioner to resolve the matter, even though the case is already being heard by the California Labor Commissioner (New York is more likely to cut Krutonog a break).

The Chapmans now want the judge to put the brakes on the New York case. Wouldn't it be easier to just pick the dude up in the middle of the night and cart him over to Mexico?

William Balfour Arrested for Hudson Murders

Chicago cops have arrested William Balfour for the murders of Jennifer Hudson's mom, brother, and nephew.

Balfour was transferred to CPD custody today after they served an arrest warrant. Charges from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office are pending.

UPDATE: We're told the CPD had no new evidence against Balfour -- but they were finally able to scrape all the dirt on him into one pile, which was enough to make the arrest. Also, Balfour is still waiting to be formally charged -- and this could take a day, or up to a week.

Nic Cage
Flanked on either side by his child bride Alice and simian son Weston, Nic Cage patted his weave and posed for a family portrait in Austria this weekend.

Weston's prom date/girlfriend obviously ignored the memo and went with the cheery blonde locks instead.

Boy George -- He Really Wanted Me to Hurt Him

Boy George told a jury today in London he did in fact handcuff the male escort who's accusing him of false imprisonment and that he'd beat him with a paddle but, as he said, "I certainly wasn't going to kill him."

BG says he was pissed off because he suspected the guy was jacking photos off his computer. "I was just so angry," said Boy. "I just wanted to make sure he did not leave my house."

Audun Carlsen accused Boy of chaining him up and beating him with a chain.

No cops were called when Matthew McConaughey banged on a drum in Rio this weekend.

Granted, this time there were no drug charges that were eventually dropped and he wasn't hanging out naked with Cole Hauser in the middle of the night.

Matt just needed a baby and a hot model girlfriend like Camila Alves to set him straight.

Bail Set for Plaxico Burress

A judge set bail for Plaxico Burress at $100,000 today and a grand jury hearing has been set for March 31. He did not enter a plea.
Read the docs
The prosecutor had asked for a $250,000 bail due to the nature of the felony. His attorney argued that since Plax had a $35 million contract, he wasn't going anywhere. Apparently, the judge agreed.

According to court docs that detail what went down over the weekend, Plax was holding a drink in his left hand while fidgeting around his waistband with his right. A witness reported hearing a loud "pop" sound and Plax saying, "Take me to the hospital." His leg began to shake and a pistol fell out of his pant leg and onto the floor.

As for the illegal weapons charge, if convicted Plax could face as much as a 15-year prison sentence. His lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, told the judge the gun in question had been registered in Florida and even though Plax has a house in New Jersey, he spends half his time in the Sunshine State.
