Cristal to Diddy: I Will Cut You!
Diddy needed stitches in his foot after being involved in a brawl -- with a champagne glass!
Although a report stated the hip-hop mogul received 40 stitches after cutting his foot on a champagne glass while partying at his Miami home last weekend, TMZ has exclusively learned that it was actually just five stitches. Diddy wound up having to miss Russell Simmons' Art for Life event last week -- which had peeps thinking he just straight up dissed the event. But turns out Diddy sent Russell over a videotaped message in his place. You know how he do!
A rep for Diddy tells TMZ, "He is doing fine now."

Farrah's UCLA Snooper Peeped Mrs. Ahnuld, Too
The chronic chart-snooper who improperly pried into Farrah Fawcett's medical records was also caught looking at Maria Shriver's info -- and that of 32 other big-name patients -- at UCLA Medical Center.
The further breach of privacy was revealed last night, though the other high-profile patients involved weren't named by the L.A. Times. The woman who did the improper digging was fired last May and was described by UCLA as a "rogue" employee, and the hospital says -- says -- that none of the info was sold to tabs.

Obama to Cigs: I Wish I Knew How to Quit You
There may be something more dangerous to Barack Obama than pastor Rev. Wright -- his nasty smoking habit!
While Barack allegedly quit smoking back in February 2007, ABC News Correspondent Jake Tapper says he ran into the Illinois senator in August when he "reeked of cigarettes." Obama did inhale! Obama even admitted he "fell off the wagon" on last night's "Hardball." Maybe LiLo can lend Barack some of her Ariva.
If BO wants to stay off the cancer sticks, he should just take his own advice and say: Yes We Can!
A rep for Obama would not comment.

UCLA Snooping on Farrah Too?
Farrah Fawcett got snooped on by a UCLA Medical Center employee last year, just like Britney Spears did after her stay there -- and Farrah's lawyers think the National Enquirer and other tabs may have gotten the dirt on her cancer as a result.
According to the L.A. Times, the Enquirer ran a story about Fawcett's cancer returning last year, which appeared before Fawcett had even told her son and closest friends. The hospital fired the employee who had checked out Fawcett's records, says a Times source.
Farrah's lawyer didn't say whether she would sue UCLA, but called the situation "ugly." UCLA says it's checked out any improper reviewing of Fawcett's file, but didn't find any breach.
