The Chutzpah of Some People ...

Hey, Billy Crystal's Jewish -- so why not ask him a two month old story about an organization offering Jewish families up to $50,000 to move to Alabama, right?

The Penguin Returns to Gotham City

The Penguin flew solo to a "Dark Knight" after-party in NYC -- where the cast of the flick was absolutely swarmed by autographazzi and pappers staked outside.

Also in NY: Heath Ledger's ex-gf Naomi Watts showed up to the party for support too, Billy Crystal said Madge was a hottie, Ethan Hawke dodged Uma wedding rumors and Gabrielle Union put the A-Rod/Madonna gossip on blast.

In L.A.: Sports stars flooded LAX, the luckiest guy alive escorted Adriana Lima through the airport, Lindsay Lohan was in a foul mood and Robert Kardashian Jr. was clueless about his sis' upcoming jail stint.

Billy Crystal Held Up at LAX

Hearing airport security start shouting can be jarring -- and Billy Crystal definitely had no clue what the hell was going on when they began yelling "BRAVO!" yesterday at LAX.

The TSA code word is meant to make everyone freeze. Sorry Billy, they weren't applauding your work.

Pam Struts, Xena Comes To The Rescue

TMZ's intrepid camera-packin' duo hit the streets of Hollywood on Monday night and caught up with one of the most random lists ever in Star Catcher history.

Josh Levine and G-Hollywood hit up all the hotspots in L.A., hoping to snag the latest Paris Hilton debacle or Lindsay Lohan trainwreck. What they got: Billy Crystal, Pam Anderson and a few D-listers looking for some videographic love; Club regular and struggling actor Cuba Gooding Jr., Geraldo Rivera, Hilary Duff's older sister Haylie, Won G (again), "Laguna Beach" bad boy Jason Wahler, Meagan Good, and making a very rare appearance, Xena the Warrior Princess herself, Lucy Lawless. We're pitching this as an episode of "Surreal Life."

Only in Hollywood, kids, only in Hollywood.

Lindsay's Hunt For Pants

TMZ cameras and G-Hollywood hit the streets of L.A. on Thursday night, stopping by all the hotspots to bring you this star-studded edition of Star Catcher.

Our first stop was at Area in West Hollywood, for Genetic Denim's one-year anniversary party/launch of their revamped collection (with Ali Fatourechi, Scott Sartiano and Shaun Hurley). Stars at the pants party included Lindsay Lohan, Miss Janet Jackson, Stavros Niarchos, Oscar-winner Jamie Foxx, Lil' Jon, Michelle Trachtenberg, "Girl Next Door" Elisha Cuthbert and "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis -- who was a bit confused as what party he was attending.

Then it was off to a grown up party at the Kodak Theater, just down the street from where crooner Tony Bennett was having yet another 80th birthday party. Stars included funnyman Billy Crystal, Warren Beatty and Bruce Willis.

All this and much more in Star Catcher!

Comedy Giants in the Big Apple

TMZ's cameras were rolling in New York City last night and as usual, we caught loads of your favorite celebs.

First, we stopped by MTV to get a quick glimpse of Rev Run and his family striking a pose as they left "TRL."

From there, we checked out the star-studded opening night of Martin Short's new Broadway production, "Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me" where the A-listers were arriving in droves!

Jerry Seinfeld rolled though, along with his good friend and "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David, while Sarah Jessica Parker hit the red carpet with hubby Matthew Broderick. Tom Hanks and Billy Crystal also hit the scene as well as comedian Chevy Chase who arrived with his family.

The last stop for the night was hotspot Marquee where we saw "Idol" wannabe Constantine Maroulis and R&B singer John Legend.

Who Will Host the Oscars?

Chris Rock has already said, "No thanks" to a second shot. And Billy Crystal's said that he's way too busy to host the Oscars for the eighth time. Academy Awards season is upon us, but which top comic is going to lead the way for us on Sunday, March 5?


Here at TMZ we've been wondering who can live up to the hype and hyperbole of Hollywood's holiest showdown. Who will lead us this year on Oscar night, and shine Hollywood's biggest and brightest spotlight on the stars?

Steve Martin seems like an obvious choice this year; he has two big movies between now and then, 'Cheaper by the Dozen 2' and 'The Pink Panther,' and is in Oscar consideration for another, 'Shopgirl.' Martin hosted in 2003 and 2001 to strong acclaim.

Whoopi Goldberg has already been there and done that: in 2002, 1999, 1996, and 1994.

David Letterman hosted in 1995, but has that pesky restraining order hanging over his head which could knock him out of the running.

Billy Crystal Too Busy to Host Oscars

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES -- Billy Crystal won't be singing his movie parodies at the Oscars in March.

Crystal tells Variety that he was asked last week to host, but he had to turn down the job.

Crystal's one-man show "700 Days" opens in Los Angeles next month, he's going to direct a movie and is writing another book.

Crystal is the second star to say "no thanks" to the Oscars. Chris Rock was first.

A decision has to be made soon. The Oscars are just ten weeks away.
