Montana Sues Ex-Wife

Football legend and NFL Hall-Of-Famer Joe Montana is suing his ex-wife and a Texas auction house over the sale of old college love letters.

The former 49ers and Chiefs quarterback is suing his first wife, Kim Moses, and Heritage Auction house for selling the words-of-woo and other memorabilia from his time at the University of Notre Dame. Items includes are: Joe's freshman I.D. card; a letter to Moses penned on a Ziggy card; a University of Notre Dame letter of intent and Joe and Kim's 1979 marriage certificate. The Smoking Gun has photos here.

According to TMZ.com, Joe is suing in excess of $75,000 -- claiming the items were obtained and sold by Moses without his consent. Montana, 51, claims that the sale of the assorted items--which were auctioned last weekend violated his copyright and privacy rights.

Moses' lawyers released this statement: "Ms. Moses is extremely disappointed by this lawsuit. The allegations in Mr. Montana's lawsuit are untrue. All of the items that are the subject of Mr. Montana's lawsuit belong to Ms. Moses, including property that she received from Mr. Montana as token of love and appreciation. The Property Settlement Agreement signed by them makes clear that the property at issue belongs to Ms. Moses."

Still a Bachelor

Bachelor Andy Baldwin and his girlfriend Marla Maples have called it quits, he said.

Baldwin's recent move to Washington, D.C. to take a job as an advocate for Navy Medicine put a strain on their relationship, he tells Us. "The big move coupled with the long distance relationship wasn't working for us so I decided we were better off as friends," Baldwin says.

He first broke the news to the Washington Post. "We were friends, it got romantic for a little while, but we're just friends," he told the paper. Baldwin, 31, and Maples, 44, met last year and spent New Year's together. They recently celebrated Easter in Hawaii. "He's just a good soul," Maples told Us in April. "He's an absolute, complete gentleman." A source close to Baldwin said, “He is inspired by her.”

Baldwin was briefly engaged to Tessa Horst, who won the final rose on The Bachelor.

Wino's Arrested

Amy Winehouse has been arrested in connection with alleged drug offenses and is being questioned by police in East London, her rep said.

A statement from the singer's U.S. spokesperson said, "Amy Winehouse voluntarily attended a London police station today by appointment. She was arrested in order to be interviewed and is cooperating fully with inquiries. The interview relates to a video handed to police earlier this year." In January 2008, after being caught on camera allegedly doing drugs, the soul diva, 24, entered rehab.

Late last month, she spent a night in police custody in London after being cautioned for "common assault," a law official said.

In an interview this past Friday – following reports the singer would perform the new James Bond title song – her music producer, Mark Ronson said Winehouse was "not ready to record any music."

RIP Eight Belles

I was so sad to see the fall (and soon thereafter, death) of Eight Belles during the Kentucky Derby. She finished in second place, but collapsed moments later with two broken front ankles. An ambulance reached the track and euthanized her on the spot. The on-call vet told the AP, "There was no possible way to save her. She broke both front ankles. That's a bad injury."

Too bad he couldn't euthanize Speidi while he was at it:

Baby Got Back

Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a big caboose - and she's not going to hide it anymore! "I came to grips with my bum. Before, I always tied a shirt around my waist when I went for a run. It was ridiculous," the acerbic blond star of "The View" tells next month's Fitness magazine. "I finally told myself, 'I'm not doing this anymore - I have nothing to hide.' I've got some curves, I've got a bubble butt, but I don't mind, because it's what powers me forward when I run."

I certainly can sympathize, girlfriend.

Mariah Engaged to Nick Cannon?

Mariah Carey's keeping mum about that ginormous diamond ring she started wearing on her ring finger last week, but a source say it's definitely from her new beau, Nick Cannon - and that the duo are now engaged.

Cannon bought the bauble for $2.5 million at Jacob & Co. on East 57th Street, where he was spotted again yesterday. "Maybe he's making payments on it," laughed our witness, who overheard Cannon telling Jacob Arabo they are set to marry. Carey's new bling is 17 carats, with a whopping 10-carat center stone, and made of rare pink and purple diamonds. Cannon was also once engaged to Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks.

Cher and Tom?

Cher is admitting to a brief romance she had with Tom Cruise some 25 years later. She was 36 and Tom was just an innocent 23.

Their happy time together took place just as Cruise, now 45, was kicking off his career 25 years ago, the 61-year-old diva tells Oprah Winfrey for an upcoming show taped in Las Vegas. "I was so crazy about him," says Cher, who was 39 when she reportedly met the 23-year-old Cruise at a White House fund-raiser in the mid-'80s, not long after his breakthrough role in 1983's Risky Business. Instantly smitten with the young actor, Cher recalls, "He was so wonderful ... And he was so, like, different."

"He was a shy boy. He didn't have any money. One night we walked into this restaurant in New York and this girl came up, this waitress came up and she took our order and stuff like that and he said, 'I knew that girl in school and she wouldn't give me the time of day.' "

Winfrey's audience particularly appreciated Cher's remembrance of the "long date" she spent with Cruise – "I lived in his apartment," she tells Winfrey – which elicited cheers from the crowd, reports Britain's Daily Mail.

Interesting! I wonder if Katie knew...

SATC Movie Theme Song

Fergie was "thrilled" to record the theme song for 'Sex and the City: The Movie'. The Black Eyed Peas singer - who forged a successful solo career with her debut album 'The Dutchess' - said singing 'Labels and Love' for the film adaptation of the TV show was an honor.

She said: "I was thrilled to do this song. I've been such a huge fan for so long. My mother and I would watch it religiously. The song completely fits the personalities of the girls - it's kind of a love triangle between love, friends and fashion."

She added to OK! magazine: "I saw the movie! But I can't say anything about it!" "Sex and the City: The Movie" sees Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis reunited for the first time since the show ended in 2004. The film soundtrack is released in the U.S. on May 27.

Dinner Conversation

Nobody expected to see Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt at the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington, DC, Saturday night, especially after the obnoxious couple (see photo, facing page) were disinvited from MSNBC's table. But they managed to snag a last-minute seat at Fortune magazine's table.

And, of course, the fame-hungry duo from MTV's "The Hills" spent the night snaking their way through the DC after-parties. They hit the Bloomberg LP soirée at the embassy of Costa Rica, which was such a disaster, half the invitees couldn't get in.

Colin Firth stood outside in the pouring rain, arguing with apologetic event publicists who denied him entry to the over-capacity party, spies said. Inside the event, we hear things weren't much better for celebs who did get let in like Rob Lowe, Eric Dane, Aaron Eckhart, BJ Novak, Donatella Versace, Rupert Everett and "Gossip Girl" star Ed Westwick.

They are so pathetic.

Ice-T To Produce Documentary

Ice-T, who named himself after his hero, Iceberg Slim - is producing a documentary on the pimp-turned-novelist. "Iceberg Slim has been one of the most influential people in black culture," the rapper said. "Few people know the story behind the man and it's time that story is told."

Slim, who churned out such urban classics as "Trick Baby" and "Mama Black Widow," drew on his 35-year involvement in prostitution and crime to turn himself around in middle age and become a world-renowned writer.

Wesley's Heading to Jail

Wesley Snipes is prison-bound.

The Blade star, 45, was sentenced Thursday to three years behind bars as his punishment for failing to file his tax returns, U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges announced in an Ocala, Fla., courtroom. The actor sat stone-faced – and some people in the courtroom gasped – when the sentence was read. "I'm very sorry for my mistakes and errors. I apologize to my family, the court and the community," Snipes said as his wife looked on. "I've asked the court to show me mercy and the opportunity to make things right."

In February, a federal jury convicted Snipes of three counts of failing to file a tax return (from 1999 through 2001). Thursday he received 12 months for each count. Prosecutors say the actor owes a total of $41 million in taxes, of which he paid $5 at the sentencing.

Several famous names sent in letters of support for Snipes, including Denzel Washington, Woody Harrelson and TV judge Joe Brown. Washington called Snipes a "great oak." Harrelson, who starred with Snipes in Wildcats, wrote, "Wes continues to encourage and challenge me to be the best man I can be by being a constant friend."

Breaking News

Star Jones has filed for divorce from husband Al Reynolds. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, Jones says: "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts. I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman."
