Hayden Calls Cops After Bouncer Boots Her
Hayden Panettiere called the police on herself! Allow us to explain.
Law enforcement tells TMZ Hayden P threw a hero-sized fit when she got tossed out of a 21+ club in Suffern, NY just before Christmas. We're told a bodyguard noticed her in the packed crowd checking out the Jon Turco Band and thought she looked young, so they checked her ID. He saw her DOB (she's 19) but evidently did not recognize her name. The club, per state regs, had to show her the door and yank her ID.
Now here's the best part: She was so steamed about losing her ID, she actually called the cops on herself to try getting it back. Cops showed up, got the card from the club ... and then gave it back to HP. The pic (right) is of her outside the club. Also, we're told she wasn't drinking or anything.

"Lost" Star Battles Baby Mama and Gets Kid
Naveen Andrews has just left family court with his son, and the baby mama is sitting on the courthouse steps bawling.
The "Lost" star and Elena Eustache, the mother of three-year-old Naveen Joshua, were in L.A. County Superior Court, where a judge changed the custody order after Elena allegedly took the boy out of L.A. County without permission. Naveen also claimed Elena kept the boy from him.
The parents had joint custody, but today, with the help of disso-queen Laura Wasser, the order was modified so Naveen now has sole physical and legal custody pending a full hearing next month.
We're told Elena has alleged Naveen's girlfriend, Barbara Hershey, practices witchcraft and that Naveen and Hershey have poisoned the boy. In response, Wasser asked the judge to order Elena to undergo psychiatric testing.
Elena brought the boy to court. After the ruling, the bailiff took the boy from Elena and gave him to Naveen, who left the courthouse with Hershey.
Under the new order, the boy is allowed to travel to Hawaii where Naveen films "Lost". He can be accompanied either by Naveen or Hershey.
After the hearing, Elena told TMZ, "I can't believe celebrities and their money. They always get what they want."
The pic above shows the boy, Naveen, Laura Wasser and Barbara Hershey leaving court. Elena is in the pic on right.

Porn Kings to D.C. - Help Us Through Hard Times
Joe Francis and Larry Flynt claim the economy has made America's sexual appetite go limp, so they're going to the one place where sex is always rampant -- Congress.
Flynt (the "Hustler" guy) and Francis (the "Girls Gone Wild" dude) are asking the government for a $5 billion bailout, claiming the adult entertainment industry has taken a huge shot to the face because of the downturn -- citing the fact that XXX DVD sales are down 22% from a year ago.
"With all this economic misery and people losing all that money, sex is the farthest thing from their mind," Flynt says. "It's time for Congress to rejuvenate the sexual appetite of America."
Francis sees his industry like the big three automakers, only BIGGER: "Congress seems willing to help shore up our nation's most important businesses; we feel we deserve the same consideration."
Francis says he's going to D.C. to personally make the pitch. Sounds like someone has a bone to pick.
Cops Think Faizon Has Struck Again!
Law enforcement sources say comedian/actor Faizon Love is the suspect in a battery last night in West Hollywood.
The incident went down at 1:00 AM this morning at the Standard Hotel. Love -- who played Big Worm in "Friday" -- allegedly struck a man in the head with his fist. By the time cops arrived, Love was nowhere to be found. Cops tell us -- they'd Love to talk to him.
In June 2007, Love was sued for allegedly committing a "barbaric assault" on a woman who was a former stage manager in one of his productions. She says the actor chased her around the table, yelled and cursed and threw chairs at her after she allegedly rejected his sexual advances. It appears a default judgment was entered against Love.

The Chick Sucked Into Barkley's DUI -- On Tape!
So here it is ... the surveillance footage that cops believe shows Charles Barkley blowing through a stop sign -- and picking up the mystery woman he allegedly claimed had a very special oral skill-set.
The tape -- which also shows a cop car from the DUI task force pursuing Barkley -- was shot from a nearby building in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 31. You first see a woman walking down the street. A short time later, you see Barkley's SUV blow a stop sign, and head in her direction. It appears the SUV stops up the street and picks her up.
Then a cop car comes into frame and chases after the SUV, stopping it for good.
The time code embedded in the footage is one hour off from the time marked in the police report, but we've learned the camera was programmed for Pacific standard time -- not Arizona time -- which is an hour ahead. We're told the camera could only program Pacific, Central and Eastern time.
Barkley is set to face a judge for his DUI arrest on January 20th ... As for the chick, we're thinkin' Sir Charles simply blew that one -- how's that for irony?
All You Gotta Do Is Pay Your Bill, Salley!
Former NBA and "Best Damn Sports" star John Salley should have learned by now ... you don't tug on Superman's cape, and you don't mess around with the most feared legal pit bull in Hollywood.
Marty Singer -- who has struck the fear of God in people who messed with celebs like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Jim Carrey, Celine Dion and on and on -- is suing Salley for stiffing him on a serious legal bill.
Singer's firm, Lavely & Singer, was hired to have Salley's back after dude was sued back in 2005 allegedly for physically and mentally abusing his supposed mistress.
Singer's firm claims Salley has ignored repeated requests to pay the $50,599.22 bill, so it's game on in L.A. County Superior Court.
By the way, the case brought by the alleged mistress eventually was dismissed. No word if there was a settlement.
Arquette's Romance No Longer True
Patricia Arquette has just filed for divorce.
In legal papers filed in L.A. County Superior Court, Arquette says her two-year marriage to Thomas Jane (who played Mickey Mantle in the HBO movie "61*") is kaput -- it's the ol' "irreconcilable differences."
They have a five-year-old daughter. And they have no prenup, which means Patricia's lawyer, disso-queen Laura Wasser, will come in handy. Wasser also recently filed on behalf of Kate Walsh too.
