Gossip / Rumors

Nick and Vanessa arrived to catch Joey McIntyre's impromtu performance at the club, in which he's a part-owner. At one point, Nick was seen with a Jessica Simpson lookalike sitting in his lap. As she got up, the buxom blonde bombshell signaled Nick to call her ... with a blatant thumb and pinky phone gesture. Vanessa caught it and and yelled, "What are you doing?" and a stern, "We need to talk!"

Vanessa then bolted outside. Nick followed and hailed a cab. Vanessa jumped in a different cab, leaving Nick standing alone on the sidewalk. He went over to Ness's cab and a heated exchange followed. The couple finally left in the same cab. A TMZ spy close to the twosome told us, "Every couple has their spats, they're not going to break up over it."

Even before news hit that "The Megan Mullally Show" had been cancelled, Mullally's former "Will & Grace" co-stars wanted nothing to do with the doomed blabfest.

Sources tell TMZ that with her ratings already in the basement, Megan wanted to reunite the "W & G" cast on a special episode around her birthday, which fell during November sweeps. While Sean Hayes did appear in an episode that month, there was no getting Debra Messing or Eric McCormack aboard Meg's sinking ship. Iceberg!

In January, NBC cancelled the daily talker after airing fewer than 75 episodes. Although Messing guested on an early episode in September, Eric never did. Get out!

An NBC rep told TMZ, "We invited several people for that show. Some people could make it, others couldn't because of schedules."

TMZ has learned that disgraced Miss Nevada, Katie Rees, is shacking up in the Hardwood Suite in the Fantasy Tower at Sin City's Palms Casino Resort (Justin Timberlake was a recent guest), and she even had a slumber party there -- with her girlfriends (look out!)! Of course, the suite costs a steep $25,000 per night, which leads us to ask, where's the money coming from?

For her recent Miss Jet Las Vegas gig at the Mirage, Rees was rumored to have been paid a paltry $5,000, which would get her about four-and-a-half hours in the room (not including taxes and fees), which happens to have its own basketball court. We're told that she got a "special rate," but didn't get the room completely comped.

Meanwhile, Britney Spears is back in Vegas -- this time, it seems, to work. She's holed up at the Palms as well, in a Sky Villa in the Fantasy Tower, which also goes for $25K per night. Brit doesn't even have to leave the hotel to lay down tracks -- there's a recording studio in the Tower.

Britney can afford it -- she's worth nine figures. But Katie Rees? Bet Tara Conner wishes she'd done a little more to push Trump over the edge.

Joss Stone recently canned her mother as her manager, but the 19-year-old may be in over her head by trying to handle her career by herself. A TMZ source tells us that Joss "has been much more flakey lately since her mother was taken out of the loop."

Stone recently canceled at the last minute on several interviews, blaming a case of bronchitis. A TMZ staffer attended her concert at the House of Blues in Los Angeles last night, reporting that Joss was "Unbelievable! She did have a rattling sound and coughed every so often, but her performance couldn't have been better."

Joss proved her performance skills, but it's unknown if she'll be able to cope with the business side without mom.

Love told Usmagazine.com that she's been approached by "Idol" producers to appear on the show. What's more, a source says that Love might actually be supplanting Abdul, whose tenure as a judge has been studded with all manner of wackiness and scandal, including a well-traveled bout of nuttiness in local TV interviews last month. "Idol's" reps had no comment.

That's just child's play for Courtney, a woman who's done and displayed just about everything under the sun and her shirt to humiliate herself, including (allegedly) flinging mike stands, baring her breasts, and melting down at roasts. (Her reps could not be reached for comment.) And with a national stage of 30 million viewers a week, who knows what insanity awaits?

It's no Diddy for Sienna Miller. Sources tell TMZ that, contrary to reports, Sienna Miller isn't involved in any way with P. Diddy, and that her very convincing sex scene with Hayden Christensen in "Factory Girl" is just the result of good acting.

TMZ is told that there is "no sexual anything" between Sienna and Diddy, and, in fact, that Sienna has never actually been out alone with the rapper. Diddy, according to a source, showed up to the Manhattan premiere of "Factory Girl" and when Sienna went to the bathroom, he was waiting around, "lurking outside the men's room," but Sienna managed to sneak out from under his nose. Her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, says the pair are "just friends" and that when he showed up to Bungalow 8 later on that night, Sienna wasn't there.

Meanwhile, rumors that Miller and co-star Christensen actually had sex while filming a scene in "Factory Girl" just aren't true. As real as it may look, we're told it's just not so. "When you do a love scene," says her rep, "there is a minimum of five people in the room. There's no real sex and the scene proves she knows how to give a good performance."

ParisExposed.com includes sex photos and videos, highly-sensitive medical records, diary entries and audiotapes of her conversations. The cache was stored at a warehouse and was purchased for $2,775 at a foreclosure auction after the storage bill went unpaid. The contents were then re-sold to Bardia Persa for a cool $10 mil. Persa then allegedly created Parisexposed.com., a subscription site which is burning up the Internet.

Just hours after filing the lawsuit yesterday, Paris and Nicole Richie were spotted at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills. While Paris may have looked relatively unfazed for the cameras, her rep tells TMZ that she's "deeply hurt" by having her private escapades laid bare once again.

The suit, which asks for compensatory and punitive damages, claims the use of Paris' most personal belongings for commercial purposes is a violation of Federal Copyright laws as well as a violation of Paris' right to privacy. The suit also seeks a restraining order and an injunction against the website.

The supermodel-turned-talk diva is on a fat attack after websites posted unflattering vacation photos of her in a one-piece bathing suit. On this Thursday's episode of her eponymous show, Tyra dons the same swimsuit in an attempt to prove that the photos and headlines were wrong -- claiming that they were taken at a bad angle. Take a look, she may be right!

Banks disses and dismisses the headlines attributed to the pics, with her "favorites" being "Porkchop" and "America's Next Top Waddle."

Diddy, father of newborn twins, was spotted dropping off Miller at her NYC hotel this morning after a rumored night of partying together in the city. Diddy had a trapped rat look when he noticed cameras watching from across the street -- and we're told a bodyguard was sent over to the photographer to try and get him to delete the footage.

Combs and Miller were rumored to have gotten cozy at a MySpace party at TAO Park City during Sundance as well. Maybe Sienna's working on a second career as a rapper.

Sources tell TMZ that Britney has been trying to phone former flame Justin Timberlake, but he's not taking her calls -- and, as TMZ recently reported, JT isn't keen on any love rematch. We're also told that when JT's ex, Cameron Diaz, got wind of the calls, she didn't like it one bit -- and has tried to get through to Britney's people to ask her to stop calling her old boy.

Over the weekend, the long lens of the paparazzi caught Britney engaged in two of her favorite pastimes -- carrying several small objects in her hands without the aid of a bag, and eating McDonald's food. The mother of two was spotted going into a Hollywood recording studio with cigs, Red Bull, CD, etc., and then she pulled up to the Golden Arches after the session for a healthy repast.

Jennifer Aniston is pissed off at Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Raj Kanodia.

Sources tells TMZ that a furious Aniston has placed several calls to Kanodia's office to express her extreme displeasure that Kanodia spoke to US Weekly for an article entitled "Jen's Secret Nose Job." The magazine claimed that Aniston underwent rhinoplasty at Kanodia's office on January 20.

In the article, Dr. Kanodia said he would not confirm that he performed the surgery and then went on to describe how rhinoplasty works.

Kanodia is reportedly responsible for recent transformations of Ashlee Simpson and Cameron Diaz.

Calls to Dr. Kanodia's office were not returned.

TMZ spies caught Lindsay Lohan out of rehab again yesterday, and this time the actress hit one of the most popular celebrity hangouts in L.A.

Lohan, who seems to be more addicted to attention than anything else, took a break from treatment (again) and enjoyed a quiet lunch on a street crawling with paparazzi. With the hundreds of eateries in town, La Lohan picked the Newsroom Cafe, a restaurant on Robertson Blvd., right across the street from The Ivy and Kitson! Ever hear of those places?

A source tells TMZ Lindsay hit the health food joint with a couple of friends at around 2:30 PM and tried to go unnoticed in a baseball cap, ponytail and oversized sunglasses. Here's a tip: If you really don't want to be seen, Robertson is a really bad idea. Linds sat with her back facing the crowd, but on the outdoor patio. Oh Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay!

The athletic twosome were spotted wearing his n' her outfits while enjoying a few holes in Oahu.

Nothing like hitting a few balls to take your mind off a broken heart.

Salma and Penelope have both denied anything more than a platonic relationship, but many still wonder if things might just be under wraps.

Lindsay Lohan will have a hard time staying clean and sober if she doesn't have a strong support group after rehab. That means she'll need to surround herself with an entirely new entourage -- who won't enable her addiction.

Just before entering rehab, our spies caught Lindsay "dining" with friends at Orso in Los Angeles. Lohan ordered a salad, and barely touched a leaf. When she ordered a cocktail and was asked to show her ID, Linds recoiled and asked for a water instead. Our spy then watched as her friends ordered drink after drink for her -- which Lohan consumed. After lunch, Lindsay jumped into her Mercedes convertible and sped off with the stereo blaring.

As TMZ first reported, the two have been spending a lot of time together in the wake of Cameron's split from Justin Timberlake. We're told the duo hit various golf courses and restaurants on the island ... and that Diaz is shacking up at Slater's island home.

Cameron was often seen hangin' ten with former flame Justin Timberlake. A distant memory. Cowabunga dude.
