Can You Handle The Inauguration? It Depends
Best Inauguration story so far: Several D.C.-bound women went to a Beverly Hills salon on Friday, talking about their trip.
They said they were going to watch the swear-in from the public section, where there is one port-o-potty for every 6,000 people. They were bragging about their solution -- they will all be wearing Depends to the ceremony.
It's the flack jacket of the disconnected.

Howie's Doc -- Something Sounds Wrong
TMZ now has details on the medical scare than landed Howie Mandel in the hospital last night.
Here's what we know. Early in the day, Howie underwent a "cast physical" for his show "Howie Do It." After listening to Howie's heart, the doctor said, "I don't like something." Never the words you want to hear. The doctor said he heard an irregular heart beat and gave him an EKG to confirm.
Prior to the physical, we're told Howie never felt that anything was wrong with his heart.
Later that day, however, Howie began feeling ill from something he felt was heart-related. Our sources say the doctor had given Howie medicine to control his heartbeat and cautioned him not to take it on an empty stomach. Howie, however, took the med without eating anything.
We're told it definitely was not a heart attack and Howie could be back at work today.

Photog Could Get Sacked Over Skier's Shrinkage
The dude who took the incredibly awesome photos of a skier being dangled with his dangle hangin' out -- could lose his job over the incident.
Marty Odem -- a photographer who works for a company that shoots pics of skiers at Vail Mountain ski lifts -- says he's already been suspended over the pics and believes he'll probably get fired over the incident. The photo company says the pics violate the skier's privacy. No pun intended.
Odom wrote on a snowboarding website that he took the pictures on his day off and was carrying his own camera. Even with the threat of losing his job, Odem claims "the photo is worth it."
And it sooo is.

Osbourne Attacks Crying and Stains Ensue
Some of the good stuff was definitely left on the cutting room floor -- but last night VH1 aired the fight between Sharon Osbourne and "Charm School" chick Megan Hauserman, and it got nasty.
Osbourne went ballistic when Megan dissed Ozzy, but what they didn't show was Sharon ripping at Hauserman's hair extensions or the bikini-clad girl's trip to the hospital the next day, where she filed a police report with the LAPD.
One thing is clear -- trash Sharon all you want, just leave Ozzy out of it.

Tara Reid In Rehab, Not Freehab
The most famous celeb rehab joint around is crazed over a story that claims Tara Reid's detox is a ploy to drum up business for the facility.
Star Magazine claims Promises Treatment Center is letting Reid rehab there for free -- with a luxury bedroom and a "no bag check policy."
Star claims attendance is down and profits are low, so Promises "asked around Hollywood to see who wanted to stay there for free."
Promises begs to differ: "The suggestion that Promises would search Hollywood for a celebrity who needs rehab in an effort to garner publicity is libelous, offensive and without merit."
The article has since been removed from Star's website. The mag didn't get back to us with a comment.
