Aubrey O'Day Backtracks on DK Dig
Diva Aubrey O'Day found herself in a heap of trouble last week when she all but flat-out admitted to TMZ that she was leaving P. Diddy-created "supergroup" Danity Kane for a better gig with the Pussycat Dolls. Now she's done a 180, and loudly reaffirmed her love for DK!
TMZ's camera's caught O'Day knockin' on DK and Diddy last week, with O'Day saying that she "hasn't looked at [Diddy] for more than ten minutes" and that she didn't know what was up with a second DK album. That's a harsh 'tude from a reality TV pop tart!
In response to the damaging video, the ever-talkative O'Day released the following statement:
Once again I would like to put to rest absurd rumors. I love being a member of Danity Kane and have always been down with DK musically. I'm looking forward to a second DK album and I totally support all members of DK in all of their endeavors.

Greasy: Reports of My Death Exaggerated
FLASH! Greasy Bear is not dead! Who knew it was hunting season?
Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis, the oily moneybag and brother of Gummi, made a sweaty appearance before cameras last night, drowning rumors that he died in Miami last night. Firequash!
The hyperhidrotic heir bear claimed that this "shows how the press is pretty much wrong about everything." Somehow, a PR firm heard a rumor that Greasy had died, and by the time the questions started being asked in Miami, the Greasy one was said to have croaked.
When the cameraman asked Greasy to confirm that he was, in fact, still alive -- the bear, absolutely devoid of irony, replied, "Yes." Although he didn't seem too sure.

The Tush Beefin' With Whitney Houston?!
It doesn't seem like Kim Kardashian has the greatest love of all for Whitney Houston -- and when The Tush comes to shove, move the hell ovah!
Miss Badonkadonk was interviewed on Los Angeles based hip-hop station 93.5 KDAY where she insisted that she has no beef with Whitney -- who was romantically linked to Kim's sex tape partner Ray J -- but used a line from one of the diva's hits to describe her feelings about the situation: "It's not right, but it's okay -- I'm going to make it anyway." Hmm -- no beef? Suuuure.
KardASSian went on to say that her relationship with footballin' hottie Reggie Bush will remain private -- because she has learned from her past mistakes. Sex tape, bad! Mouth shut, good!

The paps spotted Mr. Jenner leaving Les Deux this weekend and tried to get the scoop, but Brody just laughed it off. "No," Brody said when he got the Hilary question. "We're just friends."
Good looking, single, famous friends.

Joel Madden Takes on 'Hills' Pratt
Good Charlotte rocker/Nicole Richie baby daddy Joel Madden and "The Hills" bad boy Spencer Pratt got into a physical altercation Saturday afternoon at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Attention-whore Pratt told In Touch Weekly of the fight, claiming that it was all just one big misunderstanding.
Madden allegedly stormed over to Pratt's table, where he was lunching with his future Mrs., Heidi Montag, and screamed, "you've been talking s**t about my girl!" before, claims Pratt, Madden -- who was there with pregnant girlfriend Nicole Richie -- had to be forcibly separated and removed.
Claims the prattling Pratt, "It all stems from an interview in Details ages ago where I was misquoted, calling Nicole a skinny bitch. It's all a misunderstanding. I've always thought she's a really nice girl and I wouldn't call her that." At least not while her tattooed, tough boyfriend's around!
The Seven Wonders Of the TMZ World!
In honor of 07.07.07, and the announcement that a new seven wonders of the world will be revealed, TMZ created its own seven wonders!
Lindsay Lohan's Driving Skills
Poor Lindsay Lohan: disaster seems to strike whenever shes' behind the wheel. It's a wonder the girl ever gets anywhere at all! It must be all those really tricky L.A. roads. Yeah, that's it!
Nicole Richie's Pregnancy
Was it a pregnancy bump, or had Nicole merely decided to eat a sandwich? For weeks, rumors swirled about whether or not the skinny mini was pregnant -- or just eating again. Turns out Nicole -- always a trendsetter -- is going to be the first celebutante mommy in town.
Britney's Trainwreck-eration
First there was the quickie Jason Alexander wedding. Then came the decision to marry K-Fed and the ensuing divorce. Then there was the partying with Paris. The head-shaving debacle. The paparazzi umbrella-smashing incident. The panty-free partying pictures. The rehab. The post-rehab. The list goes on and on. When will it end?
Brandon Davis' Oily Sheen
For an oil heir with so much cash, how come Brandon Davis can't seem to figure out a way to stop sweating? Somebody get this guy a towel!
Matthew McConaughey's Missing Shirt
For months now, poor Matt has been wandering the world, playing his bongos and collecting sexy accolades sans shirt. Where-oh-where could Matty Boy's t-shirt have gone? And as long as he's looking so good, does anyone truly care if he ever finds it again?
The Heidi Montag - Spencer Pratt Relationship/PR Juggernaut
These two boobs and Heidi's new boobs have managed to stretch their 15 minutes of fame to 20. What's even crazier is that oily, obnoxious and obviously conniving Pratt has actually convinced this girl to marry him. She must be the dumbest blonde around.
The Lack of Underwear in L.A.
Is there a dearth of Victoria's Secrets and La Perlas in L.A.? No Agent Provocateurs around? That must be the reason why so many stars are caught panty-free these days. Or perhaps someone's panty-raiding the underwear drawers of Britney, Lindsay and the like. Mysterious!
Yes Says No, Maybe
Who knew members of the band Yes were still around? And who would ask lead singer Jon Anderson to perform at a music school fundraiser in San Francisco?
Anderson was asked to perform at the PG School of Rock Music and agreed. Now he's backed out of the gig due to "health reasons." TMZ heard that the reason was that Jon's spiritual advisor told him not to perform until 2008, allegedly causing him to pull out of the Yes Reunion Tour as well. His advisor needs to tell Jon that no one cares!
We checked with Anderson's rep, who tells us that Jon pulled out due to health reasons, citing a flu, and denied any of the "spiritual advisor" stuff, saying that the tour is still "in the works."
UPDATE: Paul Green, president and founder of the Paul Green School of Rock, has issued the following statement to TMZ:
"The Paul Green School of Rock inadvertently misunderstood that Jon Anderson was confirmed to perform at the San Francisco school on July 22nd when in fact, Jon had never confirmed the performance. We take full responsibility for the mistake and are deeply sorry for the error. And, we regret comments made by anyone involved with the school that inappropriately suggested that Jon's spiritual beliefs or associations had anything to do with scheduling his performances, especially any reference made about the Honorable Audrey Kitagawa,"

Thank God -- no more lonely Friday nights watching season six on DVD while drinking a bottle of wine by yourself.

Indiana Jonesing for Hawaii
TMZ has learned that the new Indiana Jones movie is heading to Hawaii. Cowabunga!
Cast and crew, including Harrison Ford, Shia LaBeouf and new cast members Jim Broadbent and Cate Blanchett are currently shooting scenes at Yale in New Haven, Conn. (No time for love, Dr. Jones!) Production of the fourth Indiana Jones film has been shrouded in secrecy, but TMZ has learned that the production is expected to shift to the garden island of Kauai within a few weeks ... then it's back to Hollywood to film scenes on the back lot at Paramount.
Watch out for snakes!
Post-Pokey, Same Old Paris?
Paris Hilton said she wanted to change her image from party girl to charity worker, but reports from her recent Hawaiian getaway say that the socialite was up to the same old, same old. Page Six reports that Paris went clubbing at the Hyatt while in Hawaii, and swapped spit with a couple of the local boys. Even worse, a source said, "The paparazzi told us that Paris calls them herself." A lensman told the source, "We love her. She lets us know where she's going to be so we can take as many pictures as we want."
Paris' rep Elliot Mintz says that just ain't so. "The last thing she needs is more paparazzi coverage."
Angry Elton Flips Off Cop
Elton John was not a happy camper after last Sunday's Concert for Diana. When Sir Elton's chauffeur-driven ride was stopped on his way to the concert's after-party, he flew into a wild rage. All cars were barred from within 50 yards for security reasons, but the "Tiny Dancer" singer didn't care. He chewed out the offending cop, and then some. "Get out of my f**king way," he screamed. "Don't you know who I am? I've been working all f**king day and I need to get to my f**king dressing room."
Reports say Elton was in an especially bad mood because he was forced to cut his finale performance short due to technical difficulties.
Nicole Narrows Wedding Dress?
Preggers Nicole Richie is closer than ever to figuring out what she'll wear for her shotgun wedding to rocker Joel Madden. 24Sizzler.com reports that Nicole is considering "Giorgio Armani, YSL, maybe Zac Posen, and some L.A. designers she likes. Nicole's not fixated on getting some huge designer name, though, like how Katie [Holmes] got Armani. And she's already checking out L.A. bridal shops. She's reached out to high-end L.A. bridal boutique Renee Strauss for help in getting a wedding dress fast, so she's fueling the wedding fire, but she loves it. Let's hope she finds something in an empire waist style.
Beckham's Got Balls
Pretty boy soccer star David Beckham isn't even playing for the L.A. Galaxy yet, but insiders are already saying that team members are sick of the circus-like atmosphere surrounding his arrival.
Between the rolled out red carpet and valet at the new VIP entrance at Home Depot Center, and the "posh" boxes that celebs like TomKat and JLo are expected to sit in -- the Galaxy has gone completely Hollywood.
BTW, if you're trying to get an uncensored peak at Beckham's family jewels, don't count on it. Rumor is Becks has a private changing area to keep cell phone snappers and prying eyes away, although Galaxy reps refused comment, saying only that "it's a private matter."
A rep for Beckham told TMZ he was unaware of any "special arrangements" the team is making prior to his arrival. As for celebs who will be taking in Becks' Galaxy debut, to his knowledge only NFL star Reggie Bush has RSVPd.
Dye Britney!
Britney Spears needs to stop doing wrecking her own hair! Oops!
After scalping herself alive back in February, TMZ has learned that Britney has now attempted to dye her ratty blonde mane herself on Saturday. Weave it alone, girl!
Well-placed sources tell us Brit's assistant rushed over to the Epitome Salon in Bel Air at around 6:00 PM, because the former pop star had spilled black dye all over her face. Toxic! We're told the salon staff saved the day and sent Britney's minder off with some much-needed dye remover. Tragedy avoided -- sort of!
If only the rest of Britney's life were as easily fixed!
A rep for Britney could not be reached.

Posh Gets Payback for Being Called "Picky"
Victoria Beckham did not like being called "picky, demanding, and rude," not to mention "full of herself" by Star magazine -- and now the mag's going to have to pony up a pretty penny to Posh to make up for it.
Star claimed back in April that the crew of "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" was complaining that Mrs. Beckham was "picky, demanding, and rude," "full of herself," and "not very nice." (Not very nice? What is this, third grade?). Good scoop -- except that it turns out, as Posh's lawyer explained, that filming on the show hadn't even started when the article was published.
Star's parent company -- Northern & Shell PLC -- apologized in a British High Court today and agreed to pay Beckham's legal costs and undisclosed but "substantial" damages, according to a report.
You can decide for yourself whether Posh is picky or not, when "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" airs on NBC on July 16.
Liza Loved Chachi?!!?!?!!
Believe it or not, "Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2" is not the worst thing Scott Baio has been in.
TMZ has learned that along with blonde bombshells like Pam Anderson, Heather Locklear and Nicollette Sheridan, the 45-year-old '80s TV hunk once bumped uglies with Liza Minnelli! You heard correctly. Liza with a WHAT?!!
We're told by extremely well-placed sources that Baio and the 61-year-old re-assembled diva spent a night together years ago and made beautiful, er, music together. Charles in charge!
Who knew David Gest had Scott Baio's sloppy seconds?!

"Indy 4" on Universal Tour?
Are the folks on the Universal back lot telling the truth to theme park guests?
A few TMZ staffers took a ride yesterday on the Universal Studios Hollywood Tour where they passed an enormous Aztec temple set that tour guides said was being built for the upcoming flick "National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets," but could it really be for the Indiana Jones sequel?
We called Jerry Bruckheimer Films, the production company for "National Treasure," and it turns out the Nic Cage pic is wrapping production next week outside of L.A., so clearly Universal needs to update their tour guides.
Our staffers thought the giant Aztec set could have something to do with the long awaited Indiana Jones sequel, and questioned the tour guides, who had no clue. Later, we contacted Universal Studios Production, which denied any link to Indiana Jones, saying, "We do not reveal the details of our shooting locations." Details about "Indy 4" have been under wraps for a while, but filming reportedly began this week.
As for the folks at Universal ... "Snakes, why did they have to be snakes?"

"Age of Love" Tennis Hunk -- Easy Mark?
All those kittens and cougars purring so sweetly over tennis star Mark Philippoussis in the new NBC show "Age of Love" might be interested to know a little about his romantic past ... as the main himbo of the men's tour.
Mark P. -- or, as he's so affectionately known to some Aussie media, The Poo -- caused a stir a few years back when he had a reported dalliance with Paris Hilton, while he was still in a relationship of several years with Aussie pop star Delta Goodrem, who was suffering from cancer. Paris even reportedly showed pictures of The Poo to journos, telling them she was "head over heels" for the racquet-man. The Poo denied the hook-up with P.
Meanwhile, before that, Mark P. was reported to be playing a bit more than tongue tennis with fellow hot-but-not-so-hot-at-tennis star Anna Kournikova. The Poo's coach, Pat Cash, wrote in his autobiography that he had to beg his protege not to go out (and get in bed) with Anna K. on the eve of a big match.
On top of all that, The Poo has been linked to Tara Reid and several Aussie models, which should raise the question in all those feline minds -- who wants to play with a used racquet, anyway?
