Stage Parents Throw Their Kids a Bone
What parents let their kids hang around a guy who looks like he's exposing his penis near a pre-school?
That's exactly what happened in NYC yesterday, when Catherine Zeta-Jones shot a scene for a movie. Check out CZJ running away from a flasher with two kids under her arms. And look behind the flasher at the extras -- little tykes watching Long Dong Silver showing his prosthetic wang.
So producers paid the kids squat and the parents bit the bait. When the mini-extras go to real school, they'll surely be the hit during show and tell.

Dogg's 'Heart Attack' Chillest 911 Call Ever
TMZ has obtained the 911 call that was made after Nate Dogg -- cousin of Snoop Dogg -- suffered what was described as a "heart attack" ... and you're not going to believe how nonchalant the caller is! It sounds like she's calling in about a hangnail -- not for a guy whose life's on the line!
Since the original incident, it has emerged in reports that Nate actually suffered a stroke, rather than a heart attack. The 38-year-old Dogg cousin is currently in a medical rehabilitation facility recovering from the stroke, after being released from a hospital on December 26 -- no other information on his condition is available.
But seriously -- you gotta hear this (unidentified) woman. The 911 operator is a helluva lot more animated than she is.

Britney Will Get Help Like It or Not
TMZ has learned family members and professionals in Britney's life are working as a team to get her mental help -- either voluntarily or involuntarily -- for treatment of what appears to be a severe bipolar disorder.
We're told it's going to happen one way or the other, and fast. So far, Britney refuses to commit herself voluntarily, but the team is persisting.
Sources say they are considering "a number of options," some of which are "creative."
The most extreme option -- going to court and getting an order forcing Britney into in-patient treatment. That would be the last ditch effort.
If involuntary commitment is the only option, Brit must be picked up by cops -- again -- on a "5150," meaning she's a danger to herself or others. Then, while she's in the hospital, health care professionals can go to the County Public Guardian, who can then go to court and ask for what's called a "conservatorship." The conservator would then basically assume control of Brit's life.
If the judge grants the conservatorship, Brit could be involuntarily committed to a mental hospital. Again, that's not the only option and various alternatives are being discussed right now.
