McCain Intern Chef Boyarthief

Published | Updated

Always blame the intern: John McCain's campaign tells TMZ that it was a "low-level unpaid staff debacle" that resulted in a bunch of Food Network recipes being fobbed off as Cindy McCain's on the Senator's web page.

We're told that the intern in question has been "swiftly dealt with" and that the site's already been taken down. Apparently, McCain's peeps say, the web intern saw fit to "add Rachael Ray to our policy team" (so droll, those McCainites) and they apologize to the Food Network for the recipe-filching, as first observed by the Huffington Post.

Fear not, though: Cindy's "recipes" have generated "a tremendous amount of public interest" and they're working on getting the page back up -- with Mrs. McCain's real recipes. Stouffer's creamed chipped beef on white toast, anyone?

Sly Does Jury Duty, Acts Rambo-esque

Published | Updated

Sly Stallone showed up at an L.A. courthouse today for jury duty ... and almost immediately got pissed off at the candy machine -- throw the book at that contraption!

Rambo was escorted into the jury room by six -- count them, six -- deputies and an assistant, who filled out all of Sly's paperwork.

Stallone then retreated to the vending machine, apparently in search of a particular type of candy. When it wasn't there, Sly said, "Oh s**t," and then went to another machine and got Skittles.

He was pacing up and down in the jury assembly room. One prospective juror says Sly was "disruptive," speaking loudly as he paced back and forth. At one point, Sly screamed, "Oh f**k." The prospective juror says it looked as if Sly got a Skittle stuck in his teeth.

Former Idol Contestants' 'Lofty' Demands

Published | Updated

Before fading into fallen "Idol" obscurity, Ruben 'The Velvet Teddy Bear' Studdard and Kimberley Locke can still get their dressing rooms fitted to their liking.

While Locke requests simple and "Fit Club" friendly items like salsa, tortilla chips, and fruit - specifically melons and cantaloupe (ick, really?), Studdard asks for an entire "loft" of wheat bread.

That's a whole lotta PB&J sandwiches.

Britney's Disastrous Photo Shoot

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned that Britney's self-arranged photo shoot and interview with OK! Magazine was a complete disaster. We're told that the photos are so bad, execs at the magazine are, at this moment, trying to decide whether to report what actually happened -- or sanitize the truth to protect the pop train wreck.

According to multiple sources, Britney's behavior during the interview was "nothing less than a meltdown." She was, according to our sources, "completely out of it" during the shoot. The photos are "so bad" we've learned, that to publish them could "kill her career."

Apparently, Brit Brit's eyes rolled back in her head at one point, causing her to look half dead. Her mood, we're told, was extremely erratic. She took frequent bathroom breaks our source says, and each time she returned her mood would change. She was also completely paranoid during the entire interview, fearing at one point the ceiling was about to cave in on her. Out of control y'all!

We've also learned that Brit had some issues with hygiene on the set as well. At one point, Britney ordered up some fried chicken to munch on. We're told after she chowed down, she wiped her hands on a several thousand dollar dress that she was wearing for the shoot, staining it with grease. Yuck! One of her dogs also needed some assistance in the housebreaking department. Our on-set spy says that the dog pooped all over the floor, and Brit used (what else?) -- a dress to clean it up! How trashtastic!

Fergie's obsession with Taco Bell could mean free food for you -- if the Black Eye'd Pea ever feels like runnin' for the border after a concert.

Yoko Ono Eats the Queen's Dog?

Published | Updated

Happiness ... is a warm, tasty Corgi dog, at least for one London performance artist.

Ono was reportedly part of a canine-chewing stunt at a London radio station yesterday, reports Reuters, in which gonzo artist Mark McGowan ate cooked pieces of a Corgi, Queen Elizabeth II's dog of choice. McGowan staged the Fido-feeding (pictured above left) to protest the Queen's husband's treatment of a fox on a hunt last year. While the artist did his best to swallow a few chunks of Corgi (which had been minced with apple, onion and other seasonings), Yoko could only manage a small taste before looking "a bit strange," according to McGowan.

Performance artist McGowan is a rabid vegetarian and animal-rights activist who once notoriously ate a swan to protest the monarchy. He says that the Corgi had died at a breeding farm.

UPDATE:
Yoko Ono's publicist, Elliot Mintz, tells TMZ that his client wasn't anywhere near London for the canine-feeding. He says the report about her is "untrue and absurd."

Gwen Stefani's Healthy Demands

Published | Updated

TMZ has obtained Gwen Stefani's tour rider -- the list of "artist demands" for their backstage dressing room -- and it reveals what a health-conscious diva she really is! Wind it up!

Besides having her room bathed in bright white light (to match her weave!), Stefani asks for 30 bottles of water and a cornucopia of organic items for her Sweet Escape Tour, which kicks off Saturday in Las Vegas. The pesticide-free buffet includes an assortment of teas, fruit, cashews, almonds, vegetables and ranch dressing. Some non-edible needs include ten white towels and four aromatherapy candles, all of which MUST be the same scent. Her Harajuku girls are very sensitive!

Based on her backstage grocery list, it appears our little Gwen is a real natural girl. Well, besides her hair color!
