The MySpacer who had gone 16 days without food in protest of Sanjaya Malakar's presence on "American Idol" has finally relented -- under doctor's orders.

"J," the one-letter moniker by which she is known to millions, says that she will continue to fight the good fight the old fashioned way: by voting for anyone other than Sanjaya.

The Muppet-faced fashionista released her eponymous fragrance, "Versace," at Harrods in London today, and though she reportedly spoke both English and Italian to reporters -- saying something about anger and mystery -- subtitles are clearly required to understand the mushmouthed perfumer.

As you may remember from the season finale of Gene's hit A&E reality series, "Family Jewels," both the aging rocker and his longtime girlfriend, Shannon Tweed, underwent his n' hers facelifts. Is that you?!

Shannon originally backed out of the operation when she thought that might have been pregnant. Once she discovered that it was only a false alarm, Gene's better half went ahead with the surgery.

We have now seen it all.

Britney Spears, back from less than 24 hours in a Caribbean rehab facility, showed up at a Sherman Oaks, Calif. tattoo parlor Friday night sporting a new hairdo. KABC in Los Angeles caught her as she got a new tattoo of red lips on her wrist..

Ladies and gentleman, she is now completely bald.

Words escape us.

No, it's not the beginning of a joke, but it could be. Prince insisted on having a table that was occupied by the DJ and his super-rich buddies.

It all went down at PURE nightclub in Las Vegas two weeks ago. Danny Masterson was the house DJ for the club's two year anniversary party -- he spins under the name DJ MomJeans. Masterson was chilling at a table that included Helio CEO Sky Dayton, the creators of YouTube, and "Alpha Dog" star Emile Hirsch. But Prince wanted Masterson's table for himself -- and what Prince wants, Prince gets.

Masterson and his crew had to scram, but the Purple One did manage to compliment Masterson on his DJ skills before having him evicted from the table. Classy.

While one "Hero" saves her mother from a red carpet disaster, a daytime talk show host is caught staring below eye level.

Sporting a haircut usually reserved for 12-year-olds, Clarkson's undergone an image make-under during her time away from touring. Here she's seen being fondled by a bastardized Muppet from Broadway's "Avenue Q."

TMZ's crew and veteran cameraman Josh Levine were all over Hollywood last night, doing what they do best; catching all the action!

We started the night at Hollywood hotspot Area, where the girls were at it again. New BFFs Britney, Paris and Lindsay all showed up at the swanky L.A. club, setting the paparazzi into a frenzy with each arrival. Britney, who showed up with a few of her backup dancers, caught up with her past inside the club: our cameras spotted ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake entering just minutes before Britney!

But it wasn't cost that led him to fill his yard with goats for almost a week. According to Lance's MySpace blog, "Great Grazing" is "an enviromentally safe way of clearing out brush" to prevent fires. Lance got a kick out of watching the goats graze on his land. Some people spend Thanksgiving with a turkey, Lance spent his with 14 goats!

The talk show hostess goes undercover in Nov. 13th's episode as "Uncle Don," to find out how men act when women aren't around. We can describe her look as reminiscent of an ugly cousin of Kanye West. Her ploy was convincing enough to fool fellow model Tyrese on the set of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

Lindsay Lohan had a rough morning Sunday – and by the looks of it, a pretty rough night, too.

At 6:45 am, a TMZ spy spotted Lindsay at Olive and Sunset in Hollywood, near a dog park. Lindsay was sitting in her parked black Cadillac Escalade and our spy, who was walking his dog, could see Lohan through the tinted windows, "freaking out" and talking on her phone.

Then, Lohan called our spy over and told him that two men in a silver Toyota 4Runner -- parked behind her -- had been following her for the last two hours, trying to "hit" her vehicle. Our spy reports that "she seemed out of it," that it appeared she'd been out all night, and that she'd clearly been crying, with mascara running down her face. "I've called the cops," said Lindsay of her alleged pursuers. "But the cops can't catch them."

What Lindsay didn't even realize in her reduced state was that the two men in the Toyota were actually paparazzi. Our spy saw them snapping away. And, he says, as their vehicle started to creep up on Lindsay's Escalade, she shifted into drive, hit the gas and took off. The paparazzi followed her.

Recently, a TMZ spy was scouting the Los Angeles area for a loft when he encountered much more then he bargained for.

When our spy and the landlord arrived at their scheduled destination in downtown LA, there was piano music coming from inside and a sign outside that said "Filming." The landlord insisted that they enter anyway. Imagine our spy's surprise when he saw none other than famed porn star Ron Jeremy sitting at a piano, playing. As it turns out, Mr. Jeremy is quite the accomplished ivory-tickler.

It turns out that a crew was in fact filming Ron playing while a woman was waiting in the wings. Our only guess is that the woman was going to sing while Mr. Jeremy played along.

They might not be gay lovers, but Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey certainly do have cutely butch names for one another. In the November issue of Details magazine, on newsstands this week, cover boy Lance says that the BFFs call each other "LiveStrong" and "J.K. Livin," and when asked whether they're gay, he jokes: "We tried it. Wasn't for us."

The two Austin, Tex. natives have been friends for years, but they really started to bond, says Armstrong, when their respective relationships with Sheryl Crow and Penelope Cruz dissolved. And when it comes to the tabloid attention both attract, they've got totally different approaches. "He's all tin cans and yam," says Lance of the famously crunchy Matt. "I get s**t on my Blackberry ... My cell phone. Most of it is bulls**t."

It keeps getting more interesting on "Dancing With The Stars." Yesterday, contestant Sara Evans announced that she quit the hit ABC show and has filed for divorce from her husband. Citing the need "to give her family her full attention at this difficult time," Evans has left the dancing competition even though she hadn't yet been booted off. It's just the latest spicy turn for the show -- contestant Mario Lopez and his partner have been much-rumored to be taking their dance moves off the floor and into the bedroom, and recently-disposed-of Willa Ford and her dancemate Maxim were another buzzed-about couple.

Meanwhile, it seems that "Dancing" judge Carrie Ann Inaba is tango-ing with the enemy – well, if not the enemy exactly, then the competition. People reports that Inaba has been dating dancer Artem Chigvintsey, one of the professionals on Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance," for eight months, though the relationship only became public after the two were spotted getting cozy after the Wednesday night elimination show.
