Clueless Putz Thinks Jewel is Alicia Silverstone
As far as we know, Jewel is not Alicia Silverstone -- but that didn't stop one crazy dude outside El Compadre last night from repeatedly screaming at the crutched singer: "Alicia Silverstone, you rockin' one leg ... whooo!!!!"
Awkwardness is funny.
"Dancing" Curse Continues -- 2 More Injured!
The dreaded "Dancing with the Stars Curse" has struck again -- Jewel and Nancy O'Dell have both been forced to quit the show due to dancing-related injuries!
Even with a knee full of steroids, Jewel couldn't power through the strenuous training regimen -- officials confirmed the singer fractured both of her tibias while practicing for the competition.
O'Dell was also hurt in the heat of ballroom battle -- she went down with a torn meniscus that will require surgery.
Producers haven't made any official announcements as to who will replace the two women, but there are serious rumblings that Holly Madison will take one of the spots -- and why not ... she does happen to be an expert at the horizontal mambo.
The storied "Curse" has taken down some of "Dancing's" best over the last few seasons, including -- Marie Osmond (fainted), Stacy Keibler (seizure), Susan Lucci (ankle), Jeffrey Ross (eye), Karina Smirnoff (fainted), Derek Hough (head injury), Misty May-Treanor (torn achiles), Mark Ballas (shoulder), Kym Johnson (shoulder), Toni Braxton (benign lump), Brooke Burke (foot), Julianne Hough (appendectomy), Jane Seymour (food poisoning), Cristian de la Fuente (arm), Kim Kardashian (foot) and Gilles Marini has already been diagnosed with tendinitis. And let's not forget about the most tragic injury of all ... Lisa Rinna's lips.
Who's next?

Steroids Scandal on "DWTS"?
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....

Jewel -- From Homeless to Home Seller
Jewel has now gone from living out of a van to selling her $1.7 million Hollywood Hills home with its own three car garage. Even her cars have a roof over their head now!
The singer's simple 1,781 sq. ft. (that's around a $1,000 bucks a sq. ft.), two bedroom, two bathroom digs has a private deck, office and 'Sub-Zero refrigerator,' according to the L.A. Times.
Jewel even has her own backup house -- a 2,200 acre ranch in Texas.
Danity Kane Hookup -- We Smell a Rat
Jesse McCartney and Aubrey O'Day flaunted their new pairing at the two most pap-filled places in NYC -- The Waverly Inn and Butter. It screams publicity stunt ... but does anyone even care?
Also in NY: Leona Lewis greeted fans and Ryan Gosling dodged questions about rumored girlfriend Kirsten Dunst.
In L.A.: Bai Ling was wacky as ever in her crazy space swimsuit, Ruben Studdard was happy to be recognized, Jewel was sassy as ever and Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt said they tried to get married once ... to each other.

Smurf on Jewel's Turf?
What's Jewel doing out with Perez Hilton?
The blue-haired Gossip Gangstar and the fantastically curved snaggle-toothed singer were spotted heading into Mr. Chow together last night -- in a spectacularly curious collision of worlds.
Surely he's not singing on her next album, and she's hardly scandalous enough to be gossip worthy, so what's the connection?
TMZ checked with the blueberry blogger, and Perez tells TMZ the two are friends, and met up for last night's Young Hollywood Awards. Another mystery solved by TMZ.com!

Bosworth Breaks Bread
"Superman Returns" star Kate Bosworth proved that food is not her kryptonite and enjoyed a girls' night out on the town this weekend.
Bosworth dined at trendy Hollywood restaurant Magnolia on Saturday with four girlfriends -- including pop singer Jewel and their stylist Jessica Paster.
For appetizers, the not-so-big-boned beauty had cigarettes and bottled water, followed by a heaping bowl of bread. Bosworth finished off the course with a wedge of iceberg lettuce.
Jewel, who was quoted in Blender magazine saying "alcohol really does solve all your problems," steered clear of any complications and ordered herself a cocktail.
