Who's Your Daddy?

Taking a page from the daytime talk show playbook, Fox will air a reality special called "Who's Your Daddy?"

The concept for the program, set to air Jan. 3, is fairly simple. A young woman, adopted at birth, is searching for her biological father. Producers have found him, but rather than a simple on-air reunion, à la "Maury" or "Oprah," they've created a game show-like format for this usually personal experience.

Turns out, before meeting her father, the woman will visit with eight men who claim to share her genes. No surprise, through a series of interviews with the men, she'll have to pick which one is her dad.

Now, mind you, this is reality, so there's a twist. There's an incentive - a $100,000 prize - for the men not to expose details that might reveal the real dad. If the daughter guesses correctly, despite the hurdles placed before her, she'll get the $100,000. If she guesses wrong, the man she picks gets the cash.

And, cash in hand or not, the real father will be reunited with his daughter at the end of the 90-minute special.

--Is nothing safe from the reality show influence?

Insurance May Not Be Enough

A theater star’s penis has been insured for £1million — so he can dip it into a cup of steaming tea in a play.

Comic Arthur Smith, 50 — who appears in TV series Grumpy Old Men — will perform the stunt nightly later this month.

Producers at London’s Comedy Theatre took out the cover. Spokesman Rupert Gavin said: “We’ll try to ensure the water is not actually scalding.”

--Guys, would you risk it?

Let's Get Ready to RUMBLE

A glass-shattering brawl erupted between a hip restaurateur and a miffed model at Lafayette Street hot spot Butter, sending Lindsay Lohan and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen scrambling for safety.

It happened in the wee hours of Dec. 7, when Karim Amatullah, owner of Hue and No. 1 Chinese, faced off with New York Model Management mannequin Susan Bauer. But as with many late-night bar brawls, the combatants tell wildly divergent versions of the story.

Wedding Bells

Mediocre tennis player weds mediocre singer: (Thanks to Kevin for the title)

Russian tennis beauty Anna Kournikova has secretly married her boyfriend, Latin recording star Enrique Iglesias, according to a report in Us Weekly.

When asked about the ring and how things were with her boyfriend, Kournikova, 23, was heard to say: "Enrique is great. Everything is awesome. We are married," according to the magazine.

--I hear the hearts of many men breaking right now.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame


Irish rock sensation U2 will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in March, it was announced Monday. The group's frontman, Bono, and the rest of the band have gained international acclaim since bursting onto the music scene in the '80s with their debut album Boy and subsequent hit recordings like The Joshua Tree.

Their most recent album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, was released in November and has already climbed to the top of the British and American music charts. Also inducted with the group will be R&B singers The O'Jays, "When A Man Loves A Woman" crooner Percy Sledge, blues guitarist Buddy Guy and musical group The Pretenders.

The official induction will take place at the Hall of Fame Foundation's 20th annual ceremony on March 14 in Manhattan.

--Usually the inductees somewhat baffle me. However, I think this is a well-deserving group--especially U2 and Buddy Guy.

Socks for Sale

Smelly socks worn by Ed Harris during the filming of "Empire Falls" were among the treasures snatched up by fans during a weekend sale of props and costumes from the HBO movie.

On Saturday, about 300 people bought a variety of items used by Harris, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward and Helen Hunt during last year's filming in the Waterville-Skowhegan area.

The sale concluded Sunday after the remaining items were marked down in price. Proceeds will help defray the costs of the film, directed by Fred Schepisi and also starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robin Wright Penn and Kate Burton.

The inventory included racks of clothes, shoes, license plates, jewelry, books, signs, gazebos, a couch, menus, a wet suit worn by Woodward and a "fat suit" worn by Hunt.

"I've got Ed Harris' socks, and they smell, but I'm not washing them," said Bonnie Goodwin, pulling her loot out of a plastic bag.

--People never cease to amaze me.

Kitchen Glam

With the upcoming holidays, many women (and men, of course, but these little numbers lean toward being used by women) will be in the kitchen cooking.

Why not look chic while protecting your holiday duds? Well, thanks to Kitsch 'n Glam you can. They have aprons in some VERY cool patterns and colors. Not your typcial Betty Crocker look!

I like this one--and of course, the pattern is called the "Martini:"

Celebrity Justice


Sharon Stone says she hasn't had a facelift and she's suing a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to prove it.

The 'Basic Instinct' beauty filed a defamation suit Monday against Dr. Renato Calabria, claiming he's been wrongfully taking credit in popular magazines and newspapers for Sharon's youthful looks "in order to increase the profits of his plastic surgery business and attract clientele." The 46-year-old actress says she's never had a procedure done by Calabria.

He could not be reached for comment Monday.

Dance Spice


Emma Bunton was once known as Baby Spice; that is, when she was one-fifth of multi-million selling girl group the Spice Girls. These days, she is just known as Emma.

Her U.S. solo debut, "Free Me," is due January 25 via 19 Recordings/Universal. Wildly buoyant, the album is equal parts Petula Clark, Motown and Burt Bacharach-with sun-bleached splashes of bossa nova.

In November, remixes of the title track went top 5 on Billboard's Hot Dance Music Club Play chart and top 10 on the Hot Dance Radio Airplay tally, and Emma couldn't be happier with that success.

--I swore all of their 15 minutes of fame was up. Looks like I may have been wrong.

Bad Decision?

A furor has erupted in the NYPD's 13th Precinct over a decision to hold its Christmas party at rapper Jay-Z's 40/40 Club.

The committee that organizes the precinct's social functions negotiated a great deal with the Chelsea nightspot to have the bash there tomorrow night, said a precinct insider. But many officers are refusing to attend.

"It's caused outrage, divisiveness and tremendous bitterness," our insider says. "Some officers are very upset. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, was arrested on gun charges [in 2001], and he trashed the guys who did it as racist. And we've arrested bouncers at 40/40 in the past. It's just wrong to hold it there."

An NYPD spokesman had "no comment."

Former crack dealer Jay-Z was busted outside the Exit nightclub in April 2001 after his bodyguard was caught with a loaded gun. In 2000, Jay-Z was charged with assault following a knife attack on a record producer.

In past years the 13th has held its Christmas party at other spots in the precinct, such as the W Union Square and Park Avenue Country Club, paying full price and avoiding any appearance of impropriety.

Kidman Quits

Oscar-winner Nicole Kidman has left the big screen adaptation of hit Broadway musical The Producers because of scheduling difficulties.

The actress was set to don fake breasts to play busty Swedish secretary Ulla in the film version of the Mel Brooks musical, opposite Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane. According to Variety magazine, Kidman left the production, due to start filming February, because her hectic schedule would not give her enough time to practice the singing and dancing the role requires.

Kidman is currently shooting a film adaptation of '60's TV series Bewitched.

Ocean's 12


I saw Ocean's 12 this weekend. Seems like everyone in America did as well.

I think the script was much better written than the first one. The delivery of the actors' comedic lines was superb--there was much more humor this time around. thought Matt Damon was at the top of his game. His portrayal of nervous Linus was right on. However, I must say that I just don't think it was as good as the first one. The story was a little disjointed. Anyone else agree/disagree?

Spears' Scents and No Sensibility

Scents and No Sensibility:

Britney Spears caused a real stink when her smelly feet gassed a plane full of people. Passengers complained when the star shed her shoes on a flight.

The smell was so bad that a stewardess asked Britney to put them back on reports The Sun.

One passenger said: "The smell was unbelievable. One woman had a word with the air hostess, then three or four others complained. She looked pretty embarrassed as she tapped Britney on the shoulder and asked her very politely to put her shoes back on.

"Britney went red, laughed and said her shoes make her feet stink. Thankfully she put them on. There's no way we could have put up with that."

And in more yummy Britney news:

Miss Spears had to be carried out of the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel by her mom Lynne and a bouncer after allegedly drinking way too much.

Once outside, the 23-year-old - who had been staying in a sumptuous villa at the Bellagio Hotel - then proceeded to throw up in the car park. Nice girl.

--She's a stinky, vomitous, train wreck.

Sir Kingsley

To Sir With Love?

Brit actor Ben Kingsley's marriage is on the rocks after little more than a year because he insisted his wife's friends call him "Sir."

Kingsley, 60, famed for his role in "Ghandi," was knighted in 2002; he married Alexandra Christman, 30, in 2003. Kingsley supposedly snapped at Christman's pals who dared address him improperly, "You should call me Sir Ben."

--Hey Ben: You're a great actor and all, but, um, GET OVER YOURSELF!
