Alleged Bird Smuggler Don't Cage Me!
Despite the fact that he was found with 14 song birds hidden underneath his pants after he got off a plane at LAX, the dude accused of conspiring to smuggle a bunch of birds into the U.S. pled not guilty to illegally importing wildlife yesterday.
Hey, if OJ got off...
Golic Bites the Hand That Poorly Feeds Him
Former NFL defensive lineman Mike Golic credits NutriSystem for a 51 lb. weight loss -- but how's this for a winning endorsement: "Some of it's awful!"
Golic is still on the company's website as a "Celebrity Success Story." We're guessing that could change shortly.

Nick Hogan -- Anybody Need a Ride?
The guy behind the wheel is Nick Hogan -- the guy in the passenger seat is the ballsiest guy on the planet.
Nick is officially back behind the wheel -- driving a brave passenger around in a black Range Rover near Agoura Hills, California on Monday night. It's been around 18 months since Nick's '07 car wreck that left his last passenger and friend, John Graziano, in a vegetative state -- and Nick behind bars and without a license.
The DMV granted him a driving permit last month for business-related excursions.

Dumbass Criminal Tackles Door, Loses
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS MORON IN ACTION!!!
Cops in Florida are on the lookout for a stupid criminal with a broken face after the suspect attempted to break into a house by diving head-first into the back door -- which was locked.
The guy actually clears a path and gets down into a four-point stance before sprinting into the locked door, busting his head and squirming on the ground like the little bitch that he is.
It all went down Monday afternoon. The guy and his accomplice eventually got into the house, but the alarm went off and they ran off without taking anything. If by chance you recognize the morons in the clip, please contact the St. Petersburg police ASAP.

Steroids Scandal on "DWTS"?
Move over, A-Roid -- Jewel has now taken your place as the face of cheating in pro sports. Alright, it's dancing ... but still.
Jewel took to her blog yesterday to announce she is battling tendonitis in her knee as she prepares for the upcoming season of "Dancing with the Stars." But Jewel, unlike seemingly every baseball player, openly admits she is taking steroids to help her stay healthy. She writes, "Hopefully these steroids will really do the trick and I can keep bad flare ups at a bay in the future."
It is unknown what ABC's policy is on performance-enhancing drugs in reality dance competition shows. Certainly if Jewel should go on to win, "DWTS" purists will call for an asterisk next to her name....

Schwarzenegger Says He's Expendable
File this in the category of "don't trust the flacks who shovel B.S. about their clients": Contrary to the lies we got a few days back that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has not committed to doing a movie with Sylvester Stallone ... Ahnold himself says he is.
The Guv was on George Stephanopoulos' show today, saying he will indeed support his bud by shooting a scene in Sly's movie, "The Expendables."
A few days ago, the Guv's media hack double-talked us and said the only plan the Governor had was to get the Caleeefornia budget passed -- that he knew nothing about a movie. It was so obvious he was lying, but that was his story.
Ditto Sly's rep, said nothing was solid about the Guv doing the movie, even though a rep for the movie's own executive producer told us he was doing a scene.
People were giving Arnold heat for leaving the State to do a movie. Clearly his reps felt they could lie about it until the budget was approved, as if the State is no longer in crisis.
How stupid do they think we are?

"SNL" -- You Can't Beat Us
"Saturday Night Live" will not let a silly little beating stand in the way of what could be a rating's bonanza.
Kenan Thompson told Us Magazine Chris Brown is more than welcome on "SNL" anytime, saying, "We don't care about scandal. We just care about what brings us ratings! If we had them both on the show, that would be crazy."
But wait, there's more. Kenan says, "I know how women can get when you get a text message from another female, so I'm just saying -- you have to learn that you can't put your
hands on a female."
Kenan calls the whole Rihanna thing "an unfortunate situation."
There's a Latin phrase, res ipsa loquitur. Translation: The thing speaks for itself.

Knoxville Claims He Was Set Up
Johnny Knoxville is a self-confessed jackass -- but says even he wouldn't knowingly bring a grenade into an airport.
In a statement on his website, Johnny says the wardrobe gal from a commercial shoot a few days back actually packed a "prop grenade" in his bag -- and he never knew it was there.
Law enforcement tells us Knoxville gave them the same story at LAX yesterday when he was stopped and cited for carrying a real grenade sans ammo.
Knoxville writes "Ah f**k was I bummed when I realized what had happened... They [the cops] were cool as they could be to me, considering the situation, and it is no one's fault but my own. I should have checked my goddamn luggage through and through."
Despite the hold up with security, he still made it to his flight on time and is now in Miami.

UPDATE: We've learned the "grenade" found in Knoxville's bag was the real deal -- but had no explosives. In other words, it was not a toy.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Knoxville was detained this morning at LAX after security found a fake grenade in his carry-on bag. He was in terminal 4 (American Airlines) when a screener saw something suspicious.
Knoxville was detained, cited and released. We're told the citation was for carrying a "prohibited item" into an airport.
