Anna Nicole Smith's half-sister is suing the publisher of her book, "Train Wreck: The Life and Death of Anna Nicole Smith," because she claims she hasn't been paid for exploiting Anna Nicole's tragic death.
According to a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month, Donna Hogan claims she never actually entered into a final written contract with Phoenix Books and Audio, Inc. She claims they went and published it anyway, but more importantly, they did not:
-- Promote it
-- List her as the sole author
-- Pay her 40% of the gross receipts
-- Try and sell the book to Europe
-- Attempt to sell the movie rights
-- Pay her $200k upfront
She is seeking unspecified damages.

What a difference a TV show makes -- Rosie O'Donnell's two biggest nemeses of the last year, Donald Trump and Star Jones, are prepared to make nice with the acid-tongued talk titan, as long as she comes on their respective shows.
Trump said yesterday, as People reported, that he wants Ro for his new celebrity-infested "Apprentice" -- but 
Rosie already shot back, saying, through her rep, "It will not happen in this lifetime or beyond." Star, as Us reports, said Rosie's "the kind of guest you want" on her new Court TV series, even though she called her "a former fatty," and accused Star of "selling bulls**t" for pooh-poohing her gastric bypass surgery.
No word yet on whether we'll be seeing Star v. Rosie anytime soon.
Britney Spears -- Terrierist
Britney Spears sucks, at least according to the Humane Society.
H.S. honchos are pissed off after reading that Spears went to a pet store in fancy Bel Air, Calif., and dropped three grand on a Yorkshire Terrier. The Humane Society has been dogging pet stores, claiming many of the pups come from puppy mills.
H.S. is also really upset that Spears spent only 30 minutes before sealing the deal -- "Choosing a dog is a major lifestyle decision that should not be taken lightly." Apparently, the Humane Society thinks Brit might pull a Paris -- as in getting bored (after all, she does have ADD) and jettisoning one pooch for another.
Tara Breaks Out the Pigskin
Everyone's favorite ball-carrier, Tara Reid, busted out a little beachfront football game with a couple of tight ends in Malibu yesterday.
Her arm strength was good, but she could definitely use a little help around mid-field.
Check out the highlights. Da na na, da na na.
It seems that Jon Lovitz got to do last week what many comics have wanted to do for years -- bash Andy Dick's face in. Lovitz tells
Page Six that he confronted Dick at L.A.'s Laugh Factory after the cuckoo comic told him last year that he had put the "Phil Hartman hex" on him, referring to Hartman's murder by his wife Brynn in 1998, and suggesting that Lovitz might die soon. Lovitz expected an apology last Wednesday, but it wasn't forthcoming, so, says Jon, "I pushed him ... Then I pushed him again really hard. He's a disgusting human being." Adds Lovitz, "All the comedians are glad I did it because this guy is an ***hole."
Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada saw the "pushing" slightly differently: "Jon picked up Andy ... and smashed him into the bar four or five times, and blood started pouring out of his nose." Dick's rep had no comment. The Laugh Factory, of course, is the club where Michael Richards went on the
infamous racist rant that TMZ showed you first.

Brit-Brit looked a bit nervous as she left a Beverly Hills tanning salon yesterday ... snacking on what's left of her fingernails.
Wearing a swanky green weave holder, she chomped on her nails while waiting at a stoplight ... perhaps musing about how she'll be the only starlet left in Tinseltown come summertime -- or praying the paps wouldn't get a shot of her goods as her tank top strap fell down her arm.
At least she's nice and spraytanned for her close-ups, y'all!

Tara Reid spent her Christmas terrifying Caribbean locals in a bathing suit, flip-flops and a Santa hat.
The frazzled blonde chain-smoked in sun-soaked St. Barts over the holiday weekend.
Chain-smoking, and these pictures, may be hazardous to your health.

Paris Hilton's year long self-induced sexual hiatus is in trouble if she keeps this up with new bachelor Travis Barker. The "good friends" might want to keep a bucket of cold water around just in case.

Mike Tyson is still the main event in Las Vegas, even though he isn't licensed to fight there. The former heavyweight champion has set up shop (in this case, it's a ring) in the middle in the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood hotel, for a boxing exhibition called "Tyson Training Camp." Not quite the $35 million nights he was used to in the twilight of his career.
In between ferocious left hooks, Tyson tells TMZ he's recently spoken with Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, who is rumored to play The Dynamite Kid in a big screen version of his life. Tyson says he doesn't understand why Foxx would be interested in portraying the embattled star.
"I don't ... see myself in the perspective that everyone else seems. I think the 40 years of my life have been a waste."
Here at TMZ, we believe anyone who could have spawned a Nintendo boxing game as cool as Mike Tyson's Punch Out is not a waste, no matter how far he may have fallen.
