"American Idol" loser Blake Lewis has learned a good lesson: If you can't make money singing your own songs ... play someone else's!

After opening for techno king Darude, the 27-year-old beat boxer spun at a spring break event in Clearwater, Fla. this weekend. He's the next Kelly Clarkson Samantha Ronson!
On a bright note, tix to see Blake did cost $20 more than Taylor Hicks' show in West Hollywood last week.

You won't find DJ Samantha Ronson with much to say about galpal Lindsay Lohan -- or their blowout before the curb-hopping incident that plopped the starlet back into rehab -- but when it comes to Candy Spelling, Ronson's sure got a mouthful!
Ronson wrote a MySpace blog to Spelling in response to Candy's open letter to Britney on TMZ. Ronson calls Spelling's tactics of reaching out to people through this site "insane," but adds that "it is nice to see old people using modern technology." Burn!
Sam proceeds to attack Mama Spelling, telling her to focus on her own children, saying she "doesn't seem to me like she is all set on the home front," adding that the only market for an adviser like Spelling is "maybe somewhere in Texas." What's wrong with Texas?!
TMZ cameras caught the DJ out last night going into Hyde -- and it was back to good ol' tight-lipped Ronson.

Sources have revealed to TMZ what Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson were fighting about in the early morning post-partying-party hours -- before Lilo confronted a Beverly Hills curb and was popped for DUI.

Our source, close to Ronson, says that while Lindsay was just revving up the party at Lindsay's condo in the wee hours of Saturday morning, Samantha was urging Linds to slow down, rest a bit, and save it for the long weekend. Apparently, Lohan didn't care for someone telling her what to do and the two had it out -- and Lindsay kept on partying.
The story then goes that Ronson stormed out, followed by an apologetic Lindsay -- leading to the accident. Oddly enough, Samantha, who's posted two blogs on her MySpace since the incident, has yet to address the events of the weekend. On a side note, both blogs were written just past 4:00 AM.
Ronson was not available for comment.

Being a DJ is a surefire way to get into the Hollywood hotspots. Plus, you're more likely to hook up with a smokin' hot starlet if you're a DJ than if you're a bouncer. For example, DJ AM and Mandy Moore. Yeah, like that would have happened if he worked at, say, Taco Bell. So how, you ask, can you get started in the glorious world of DJing for the stars?
A good start is the Numark mixing console for the iPod. Using the console, you can mix the music from two 3rd generation or later iPods. Control the iPods completely from the mixer control surface. The Mixer even has an s-video output to play videos you have stored on your iPod.
Book a few gigs with your Numark iPod mixer -- and soon you'll be spinning for Lindsay Lohan at Pure. At that point, the celebrities will be lining up to date you. It's just that easy!

One of Hollywood's hottest DJs is not a Jamie Foxx fan.
DJ Samantha Ronson was in Vegas working a People Magazine party on Thursday to kick off all the Grammy mayhem. According to Ronson's MySpace page, Jamie Foxx "kinda mc'd the event ... which to be honest was really annoying -- he's funny for about 3 minutes -- then it's just self-indulgent look at me s**t." Sounds like Samantha would've liked to make him disappear.
Sam has DJed before at parties where Foxx showed up, and claims that he pulls the same number every time; he has his people request songs that only he likes, then for attention, gets up and sings the "Golddigger" chorus when it plays. She did mention one highlight of the night ... "he was reading index cards to present the different performers and when the 'five for fighting' guy was coming onstage he was supposed to say "phenomenal," which he actually pronounced as PUHEEEENOMENAL! wow!!"
Sounds like the beginnings of a good ol' celebrity feud!
Our pals at SpyOnVegas.com caught Foxx pouring shots of TY KU down the throats of some hotties in the front row and was heard calling the drink his personal "Jesus Juice."

Is this the same Elliot Mintz that used to be a DJ in the '60s?
You may have just dated yourself, Chris! Yes, the Elliot Mintz of today is the same as the Elliot Mintz of the 60's. He used to DJ for KPPC, the underground rock station straight from Pasadena. Mintz can also list the legendary John Lennon as one of his PR clients and personal friends. He worked for nine different radio stations over a ten year period as a disc jockey and radio host. He interviewed over 2,000 people and was the entertainment correspondent for Eyewitness News on KABC in Los Angeles. He is an award-winning journalist, has represented more than 40 clients and currently represents roughly ten individuals whom he chooses not to name.
Of course we know that this bachelor is also the publicist and go-to man for none other than Paris Hilton -- and was quoted in a recent NY Times profile as saying he adores Paris.

R&B superstar Ashanti knows how to party ... birthday party that is.
Ashanti celebrated her 26th birthday over the weekend in Las Vegas at the celebrity equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese for birthday parties -- TAO nightclub at the Venetian.
Ashanti's "good friend" Nelly played the role of erotic dance partner, doing a little bump and grind with the b-day girl to Nelly's hit song "Shake Ya Tailfeather." But the highlight of the evening came when the DJ cranked up one of Ashanti's hits and brought out the cake. As fans gathered and snapped pics, Ashanti and Nelly smiled uncontrollably while everyone ate the cake.
We can't wait 'til her 27th birthday.

Lindsay Lohan showed everyone her hidden talent as she played guest DJ last night at club Tenjune in New York.
Lohan rocked the club at a party for Jalouse Magazine. The starlet was there to show her support for the European publication that currently has her face gracing the cover of their magazine.
Seems like the teen queen has recovered from her brush with grand theft, because she was all fun and games at the hotspot, as she pushed aside well-known DJ Steve Aoki to show the crowd her turntable talent.
Lindsay was joined by the likes of Kate Bosworth, Russell Simmons and Vanessa Minnillo at last night's soiree.
