Kim K: My Sis is Ready to Rumble in Jail
We just broke the news -- Khloe Kardashian, Kim's lil' sis, will surrender Friday to begin serving 30 days in the slammer for a probation violation after a DUI.
Kim K, who might have trouble getting her major asset in a 12x8 cell, is now speaking out, saying on her blog, "Khloe is ready and willing to serve out her sentence, no matter how long and where, and have this resolved."
And Kim says, "I urge people to learn from the mistakes of others. Please drink responsibly and it's never acceptable to drink and drive!"
A Kardashian Goes to the Pokey!
Guess who's going to jail Friday? Kim K's less famous sis.
Khloe Kardashian not only got a DUI that flew completely under the radar, but she violated her probation and she has been sentenced to 30 days in county jail.
Khloe K. got the DUI on March 4, 2007. She had a .13 blood alcohol level, well above the .08 limit. Khloe was placed on 36 months probation.
Earlier this month, she admitted she failed to comply with her Cal Trans requirements (i.e., picking up trash on the freeway, something we think she's familiar with) as well as her alcohol ed program. She was ordered to re-enroll in the alcohol program, the Cal Trans requirements were dropped, and the judge ordered her to serve 30 days in the slammer.
As we know, 30 days can turn into 30 minutes, because of overcrowding.
Two Coreys Accused of Being Fruit Pirates?!
Washed up 80's products Corey Feldman and Corey Haim are teaming up again to fight accusations of "pirating the fruits" of someone else's horrible reality show idea. At least it gives them something to do.
In a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, a trio of writers/producers accuse the Coreys of stealing the brilliant idea of taking two has-beens with the same name and giving them a show -- "The Two Coreys."
Basically, the litigious threesome claims they had an agreement with the Coreys to sell the show as a team -- but the boys made a "secret" deal behind their back, went to A & E and left their former partners high and dry. Now they want at least a cool $1,000,000 to make things right.
A rep for the Coreys had no comment.
Tila Tequila Winner Outed?
Spoiler alert! If you're one of the seven people that are actually watching "A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila," beware.

Posts on Banhart's now defunct MySpace page indicate former Playboy model Kristy wins the bisexual love fest. Our sources tell us that's right on -- Kristy wins the whole shebang. Even though she refuses the offer.
Kristy claims to have the "assets" needed to win Tila. Indeed.
Audrina's Hills Meant For One
Audrina Patridge and her sister Casey had a few drinks in West Hollywood the night before last -- and the evening played out like a lame-ass episode of "The Hills."

And get this: Audrina said she might move out of Lauren's pad and shack up with Justin Bobby! Lucky bastard.

"Idol" Top 12 Say See Ya Later, Losers
TMZ spies say the "Idol" party last night was fueled with emotion, and a little bitterness for good measure.
We're told booted "Idol" Asia'h Epperson was torn up and overwhelmed, staying only for a few minutes before bolting. Contestants were most upset about Luke Menard getting the ax because they liked him -- they really, really liked him, although his singing kinda sucked.
Although no underage contestants were spotted Lohaning it up, Danny Noriega and Ramiele Malubay were pretty wrecked over his elimination. The two BFFs were inseparable.
Our spies say although all the contestants were there, there was no sign of Randy, Paula, Simon or Ryan. Contestants, meet pecking order.
Mischa Barton Charged With DUI, Pot Possession
TMZ has learned the L.A. District Attorney is charging Mischa Barton with four misdemeanor counts: driving under the influence, driving with a blood alcohol level of .08% or higher, driving without a license and possession of marijuana (under an ounce) -- all stemming from her December 27 arrest.
The former "O.C." star was pulled over in West Hollywood, Calif. last year. Cops said she "was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and failed to signal when making a turn." When deputies pulled her over, they determined that she "was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage."
Her next court date is February 28.

Brandy's Ma to Kim K You Screwed My Girl, Too
Brandy's mom is suing everyone Kardashian, claiming they raped her financially.
According to a lawsuit filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Sonja Norwood, the mom of Brandy and Ray J, claims in 2004, when Kim K was a stylist, she was given permission to use Sonja's American Express card to make "one (and only one)" purchase on behalf of Sonja.
According to the suit, Kim allegedly gave the card to other members of her family -- Khloe, Kourtney and Robert Jr. The suit claims in 2006, the Ks racked up $62,793.83 in unauthorized charges. And, in 2007, they blew another $57,841.82. The total: $120,635.65!
And get this for audacity: the suit claims the Kardashians charged thousands of dollars in their own stores, Dash and Smooch.
It's unclear why Sonja didn't just cancel the card.
UPDATE: TMZ got the following statement from the Kardashians: "The charges against the Kardashians are meritless. Both Kim and Khloe were employed by the Norwoods and never used their credit cards without their express authorization. The Kardashian family looks forward to proving the absurdity of these claims in a court of law."
UPDATE: TMZ obtained this statement from Sonja Norwood: "I did not want to commence litigation against the Kardashian family without conducting an exhaustive investigation into the charges, and discussing all options, including criminal prosecution, with my family. After Ray J and Brandy urged me not to file criminal charges because of their prior friendship, I decided to afford the Kardashians an opportunity to resolve this matter without a lawsuit.
When the fraudulent charges were brought to their attention, they apologized profusely, and advised us, through their attorneys, that they would pay the debt in full. However, they have since reneged on that promise. The investigation has revealed that the Kardashians used their two stores and other stores that I have never visited to take advantage of me. I very much look forward to having the Kardashians account for their misconduct in a court of law. I also welcome the examination of any so called evidence to determine whether it was fraudulently obtained or whether it constitutes a forgery."

Wayne was arrested in Idaho last year for felony possession of drugs.
Cryer to TMZ: Eat Crow!
TMZ made fun of Jon Cryer for picking the Giants to beat the Packers on Sunday, and Jon wants us to know that he knows we screwed the pooch on that one.
We posted this video of Jon proclaiming his love for the Giants with the headline "Jon Cryer in for Giant Letdown?" So when the Giants pulled off the overtime win, we got an e-mail from "Jon Cryer," rubbing it in. He wrote, "Ha HAAAA!!! Go Giants!!! I called it."
We get a lot of mail, so we checked, and it really was Jon who e-mailed us! He wrote us again to say, "Yes it's me ... Go BIG BLUE!!!! The Patriots are only favored by 13 points!! It'll be a walk in the park."
Never go against Jon Cryer.
