American Idol's Underage Drama
Traveling with the "American Idol" tour isn't just child's play -- and the U.S. Department of Labor can prove it. This past week, 19 Touring, the parent company of "American Idols Live Tour '07," was fined $5,000 for violating child labor laws. The reason? Underage performers Jordin Sparks and Sanjaya Malakar.
The Labor Department also says that 19 Touring lacked a certificate of eligibility to employ singers under the age of 18. Who says Sanjaya's a singer?
The company eventually filed the proper paperwork but will still have to pay a fine.
Rosie: I Made J.Lo
Jennifer Lopez was just Jenny from the block -- fat and clumsy Jenny from the block, when she got her start, says squeaky-voiced Rosie Perez in the new issue of Out magazine.

Judge to Britney: Gimme More (of Your Cash)
Popwreck Britney Spears lost custody of her kids to ex-hubby Kevin Federline earlier this week. And in an added blow, the mama-with-the-drama has been told by an L.A. judge that she must pay for her own parenting counseling and drug testing before she can attempt to reclaim custody of her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.
In light of her recent court craziness, friends are worried about Brit-Brit's finances. One source told Page Six that, "she is running out of money. Her fragrance didn't do well. She has no cash flow coming in and she's spending money like water." Maybe it was all the Starbucks and fast food?
Vanessa: Do As I Say, Not As I Do
For a girl who got caught with nude pics of herself, "High School Musical" star/Zac Efron arm candy Vanessa Hudgens sure sounds self-righteous. The Disney-fied teen queen had little sympathy for troubled stars Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears and their drama-filled lives. She told Us Weekly, "I honestly think it's stupid. It's easy to stay out of those situations."
About as easy as it is to keep your clothes on.
Clooney's a Bachelor? Pfeiffer's Fault
Is Michelle Pfeiffer the real reason George Clooney's stayed single for so long? Pfeiffer told a British TV interviewer that she has a long-standing bet with two-time "Sexiest Man Alive" that he'll never get married. Clooney, she said, bet her $100,000 that he'd never tie the knot. But Pfeiffer told BBC 1 host Jonathan Ross that she counter-bet Clooney that he would get married.
"I bet him he would get married, and he keeps inflating it from $100 to $100,000," said fabulous Pfeiffer, adding that, "I still think he will ... he's a handsome devil."
De La Hoya Fix Is in on Kinky Pix
Photogenic boxing champ Oscar De La Hoya says that a slew of photos making the Internet rounds purporting to show him in panties, fishnets and heels are fake -- and he's hired legal heavyweight Bert Fields to give the snaps the ol' roundhouse.
Still, report Rush & Molloy, the exotic dancer who says she took the pictures insists they're real, and that they were taken at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Philadelphia in May. "Now that she's being called a liar, she's ready to sell her story," says Gotham mag columnist R. Couri Hay.
But Fields swings back, saying, as many have, that the photos are "a really bad photoshop job," and demanded in a letter posted at Usmagazine.com that they be taken off the net. A little late.
Denise Tries to Prevent Charlie's Overnight Visits
It just keeps getting uglier in the Sheen-Richards custody tussle, and yesterday the actress asked a judge to "protect her children" from Charlie.
Richards' lawyer tells People that Denise "believes that Charlie has significant personal issues ... which require her to take action," and she wants to stop Sheen's overnight visits with the kids, Sam, 3, and Lola, 2. The lawyer didn't specify what those "issues" were.
As usual, Sheen had plenty of venom in return, saying that Richards "behaves as though she owns our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching."
Hasselbeck – Battling Rosie Was Like Softball Game
Rosie O'Donnell almost made Elisabeth Hasselbeck start boo-hooing during their infamous on-air scrape earlier this year, but Elisabeth used the power of softball to forestall her tears.
Hasselbeck tells Pregnancy magazine, "I almost had the same feeling in me as when I had a championship game and I was up to bat and the pressure was on ... I'm very lucky that tears didn't come out." Hasselbeck played for Boston College before her "View"-ership. Lizzie's second spawn drops in November. Perhaps Barry Manilow can do the show while she's on maternity leave!

The seemingly interminable divorce battle between Lindsay Lohan's parents Michael and Dina is finally and officially over.
A Long Island judge just minutes ago issued his final judgment in the divorce proceedings between the Lohans, granting Dina the split she wanted. We're told that the judge actually complimented the couple for doing the right thing for the kids, and for working "through the night" to get the final details ironed out. No financial details were disclosed.
No mention was made in court of Lindsay or the other children and Michael's ability to see them, but custody is a very different battlefield -- and one that remains to be fought, next month.

Matt Leinart -- 'Acting' Like a Good Dad Should?
NFL stud Matt Leinart has scored himself another high profile job -- but TMZ has learned the pretty boy QB is busting his ass to make sure his new Hollywood gig doesn't interfere with his daddy duties.
A spy on the L.A. set of a new Adam Sandler project has confirmed that Leinart landed an acting role in the untitled flick, featuring "Scary Movie" star Anna Faris. While sources claim Leinart is serious about the part, we're told that he's only shooting on days he's not scheduled to visit his 9-month-old son with baby mama Brynn Cameron, and when he's free from any football obligations with the Arizona Cardinals. But according to Brynn, Leinart's "Hollywood stuff" is taking his focus away from being a good parent, as she complained to the Ventura County Star, "It's kind of hard for me as the mom ... he comes and goes whenever he wants."
When contacted by TMZ, Leinart's rep wouldn't talk about the movie, but assured the Cardinal faithful that "Matt is focused right now on his way to training camp. He has a job to do with the Arizona Cardinals. That's all we have to say about that."
As TMZ first reported, Leinart is embroiled in a nasty legal battle with his Cameron, who is asking for more than $30K a month in child support from the $50 million-contract jock.

According to sources close to the case, Brynn wants Matt to hand over more than $30,000 per month! That's a ton of jack for a 21-year-old living with her parents!

Leinart signed a six-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals in 2006 -- reportedly worth around $51 million.
Kimmel's Benoit Burn Too Hot for TV
There is a line you can cross when roasting Flavor Flav -- and Jimmy Kimmel was the one who crossed it.
During last night's four-letter fest in honor of the "Flavor of Love" star, Kimmel was poking fun at the fact that Flav has several children with several different women, when he said that "Chris Benoit is a better father than you." What, too soon?
A TMZ staffer who was at the roast (airing August 12 on Comedy Central) just happened to be sitting next to two censors for the network. When Kimmel made the crack, the censors looked at each other and laughed while shaking their heads "no." One immediately put down "Chris Benoit" on a list of jokes to cut. Another joke to make the list came at the end, when the Queen of Mean, Lisa Lampanelli, called the "Flavor of Love" girls sprinkled throughout the audience "nappy headed bitches."
C**t, c**ksucker and ni**a were fine -- but current events, ixnay?
Britney's 'Stalker' Calls Children's Services
TMZ has learned someone called Children's Services on Britney Spears multiple times last week -- but it turns out he's a nut.
Sources say Britney has a "stalker" who has become irritated with her. The man began calling the L.A. County Department of Child and Family Services and lodging "bizarre" complaints against Spears.
We're told someone from the Department made contact with one of Britney's reps, but it became obvious during the call that the complaints were bogus -- and the matter was dropped.
Contrary to several news reports, the Department did not dispatch anyone to Spears' home.

Michael, Meet L-I-N-D-S-A-Y Your Daughter!!
The nominees for Father of the Year are in -- and Michael Lohan's name is not on the list.
Battling with his ex-wife, Dina, over visitation rights, Papa Lohan issued a press release this week in which he spelled Lindsay's name wrong. You'd think he'd have screwed up the name of one of their non-famous kids.
"I look forward to order being restored to the chaos that our family life has become," the release reads, according to FishbowlNY. "Lyndsay, Michael, Ali and Cody need stability and both of their parents in their lives. I am anxious to spend time with them and end this cruel, needless separation."
Never misspell the hand that feeds you.
