Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan is not a happy woman.

She's so fed up with the glut of naughty internet sites publishing fake porn pics of her that she's thinking of setting her lawyers onto them. According to men's mag Maxim, the 41-year-old actress is especially insulted by superimposed snapshots because the bodies used are much worse then hers.

She said: "You can't trust the internet. Someone told me there was this website with my head on other people's naked bodies doing lewd, crude, and totally unacceptable things. "I guess at one point I've got to get around to suing them. But the real drag of it was that my body is much better than their bodies... "My God, at least do me justice."

"Additionally, there was this thing written that I had gone into a candle store, and my hair went up in flames because of all the hair spray. "First of all, I never have hair spray in my hair, and I've never even heard of this store, and my hair has never been burned."

Actor Nicolas Cage is angry that his American nationality hindered his chance to become James Bond because he thinks the prejudice is petty and stupid.

The star resents the unwritten rule which states the secret spy can only be played by British actors and is devastated he will probably never get another opportunity to try for the role.

He says, "You can cast a Brit to play Bond but you can never cast an American to play him. "I think that is totally unfair."

--Um, did you ever think you might have lost out not because you are American, but because you'd pretty much be the worst James Bond ever?

Jessica's Simpson's husband Nick Lachey has allegedly "vanished" while his wife is in Africa - further fueling rumors the pair's marriage is on the rocks.

The star, who shot to fame in popular MTV show 'Newlyweds', was last seen by friends two weeks ago at sister-in-law Ashlee Simpson's album launch party in Los Angeles.

Jessica is currently on safari in Kenya with her father Joe and personal assistant Cacee Cobb. The date of the Simpson's trip to Africa - which also involved a visit to Nairobi so Jessica could promote her charity Operation Smile, a fund set-up for children born with cleft lips - meant the pair spent their third wedding anniversary apart last month.

However, Nick's representative insists the star is simply abroad working on his new record. The spokesperson told America's New York Daily News newspaper: "He is out of the country recording his album".

But Jessica's dad hit back at the claims, saying: "They're still together They just had an anniversary vacation. It doesn't sound like a divorce to me."

In a new interview, Shar Jackson says she and Kevin Federline were still together when he and Britney Spears began dating last year.

Jackson, then pregnant with her second child with Federline, says the truth came out only after he flew abroad for a commercial — which became a monthslong trip with Spears. Federline and Spears were wed last year; their son was born in September.

"How do you call yourself a human being knowing that you put somebody else through that pain?" Jackson asks of Spears in the December issue of Sister 2 Sister magazine. "That's a vicious cycle right there, man. We gotta break that."

Jackson, 29, and Federline have a 3-year-old daughter, Kori, and a son, Kaleb, born in July 2004. Jackson, who co-starred in the TV series Moesha, has two older children from a previous relationship. She and Federline "are still really good friends," Jackson says, but she doesn't want child support.

"Hell no. I am a very, very independent woman, OK? If I wanted child support that's an easy procedure," she tells the magazine. Instead, "All I want from Kevin is his time with his children. That's it, bottom line."

Jackson is working on an album, her first.

Madonna's husband Guy Ritchie was unhappy about the skimpy outfit that she wore for the MTV Europe Music Awards.

The film director asked his wife to choose another dress, but the Madonna ignored his request.

"He wasn't happy and told her in no uncertain terms," a source told The People. "He thinks she's too old to be wearing such skimpy things and that she should have toned it down a bit. Madonna listened to what Guy had to say but chose not to do anything about it.

"She went ahead and wore what she was planning to anyway. It made for a bit of an unpleasant atmosphere backstage."

Hollywood legend Warren Beatty and his Oscar-nominated wife Annette Bening caused a stir when they turned up at California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger campaign rally in San Diego, California, on Saturday.

The anti-Schwarzenegger pair pitched up at the airport hangar where hundreds of supporters had gathered to hear the former action star describe how he would "reform the broken system." Beatty and Bening were initially snubbed from the rally when an aide told them they didn't have the correct wristband to attend the talk. Bening stormed, "You have to have a wristband to listen to the Governor? He represents all of us, right?" The door was then slammed in their faces before being opened again as Schwarzenegger started to speak.

Beatty raged about Schwarzenegger's campaign, "This is an abuse of the initiative process." The governor previously said of Beatty's protestations, "There's the main event, then there is the sideshow. I don't care about the sideshow." Beatty currently appears in an anti-Republican radio commercial in California.

Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Shannen Doherty has fallen for her Category 7: The End of the World co-star Randy Quaid.

The actress accepts the star is not a typical hunk, but was smitten after they played unlikely lovers in the new TV disaster movie. She says, "There is something incredibly sexy about Randy and I think it's that, obviously, he's gruff and he's a character and I like a man with character.

"He's like a teddy bear. I had this kissing scene with him and he's so much bigger than me and he just grabbed me by the elbows and took me up and, like, planted one on me, and put me down and I'm like, 'OK.' We made out and he's a good kisser."

Meanwhile the actress has devastated her father by telling him reports she's dating college sports hero Matt Leinart aren't true. The star and her dad are huge fans of top-rated American football team the University of Southern California Trojans, and when he heard his daughter was dating quarterback Leinart, he was thrilled. Doherty says, "That would be the perfect son-in-law. My dad was like, 'Oh my God, is it true, is it true? Matt's going to be my new son-in-law.' He was so excited.

"Matt is handsome and he is talented and he is a great quarterback, but the truth of the matter is he was in the same club (as me) - and that was it."

George Clooney, in London to promote his new movie Good Night, and Good Luck, apparently had a bad night and bad luck outside a London restaurant, where he got into a scuffle early Friday morning.

Witnesses saw Clooney, 44, leaving the after-party at the Floridita bar and restaurant through a side door just before 1 a.m. Meanwhile, Lisa Snowdon, Clooney's former girlfriend who attended the party with him, left through the front entrance.

A witness said that in the alley where Clooney had gone out, "I could see this brawl happening in front of me." The source says the tussle lasted less than a minute. London's Evening Standard reported that the scuffle was between Clooney and a security guard who refused to help the star get to his waiting car and avoid paparazzi, an assertion denied by the actor's rep, Stan Rosenfield.

"The reports published by the London Evening Standard regarding George Clooney are inaccurate," said Rosenfield in a statement Friday. "George did not get into a fight with a Security Guard.... However, he did get into argument with someone connected with the movie. Â… And while it had NOTHING to do with the paparazzi, it did have everything to with someone being unkind to a woman. While no punches were thrown, George told the person to knock it off."

Clooney also released a statement Friday saying, "I wonÂ’t stand by while someone is being insulted and maligned. No person I know would."

Glamour Magazine hosted its 16th Annual Women of the Year Awards at Lincoln Center's Avery Fisher Hall. Among this year's honorees were Melissa Etheridge, Christiane Amanpour, Petra Nemcova and Diane Von Furstenberg. And while some may criticize the idea of an all women's awards ceremony as more homogenizing than recognizing, the evening was a truly memorable and heartfelt affair filled with laughter, tears and powerful stories of inspiration.

The night began like all other award ceremonies: eager fans, beautiful people and a boatload of reporters. Photographers swarmed around honorees Catherine Zeta Jones and Goldie Hawn as they exchanged hugs on the red carpet while other attendees such as Hilary Duff, Thandie Newton and Nia Long stopped to strike a pose before they sashayed into the theater.

Inside, monumental floral arrangements towered among guests as they sipped on champagne and made small talk before pouring into Avery Fisher Hall to hear Mary J. Blige and the New Orleans Children's Chorus give an amazing kick-off performance at the start of the show.

One of the evening's most memorable moments included Brooke Shields' introduction speech of honoree Mukhtar Mai. To punish her brother for a crime he never committed, Mai was brutally gang-raped by four men in her Pakistani village. Her community of friends and family expected her to commit suicide from the resulting shame, but Mai shocked her entire country when she reported the rape and faced her assaulters in a trial. Mai became an instant global icon to women worldwide and was recognized for her courage last night with Glamour's "Bravest Woman in the World" award.

Will Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a prenup?

Sources say they will, and according to one report, that’s why Cruise and his preggers fiancée are taking so long to get hitched. Holmes’s father, Martin, is a lawyer and is representing his daughter in the negotiations, reports the upcoming issue of The Star.

Martin Holmes “is playing hardball with the prenup negotiations,” according to the tab, which quotes a source as saying that Holmes wants to make sure that his daughter will receive “a lump sum payment in the millions if the marriage should dissolve before the five-year mark.”

Such terms are unusual for a prenup, which usually awards a spouse more money for a longer marriage, but, the source tells the mag: “The Holmes family would never tell Katie if they thought her marriage was doomed from the get-go, but they are pressuring her to hold out not only to protect her interests, but those of her child.”

Holmes and Cruise’s rep didn’t return calls for comment, but noted divorce attorney Raoul Felder told The Scoop, “Given Tom’s history, if they don’t have a prenup, forget a lawyer, they need psychiatrists.”

So long, rocky marriage. "Things are really good" with wife Denise Richards, Charlie Sheen announced Thursday on national TV.

Speaking to CBS Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson, Sheen, 40, even flashed the wedding ring on his left hand. "That's a pretty good indication," said a beaming Sheen. On Sept. 21, People reported that Richards was spotted sporting a ring on her wedding finger again as well. At the time, a rep for Richards had no comment about the couple's status, but a source told People that the pair had been spending more time together and with their daughters Sam, 1, and Lola, 5 months.

After three years of marriage, Richards, 34, filed for divorce last March. Sheen, who appeared on The Late Show With David Letterman Sept. 15, said he had two theories about why his marriage hit an iceberg. One: "I was a gigantic ass," he told Letterman. Two: He watched too much sports on TV, neglecting parental duties.

But, he said, the couple were working on their marriage. "I had to take a step back and really take a look at myself and the situation," Sheen said. "I made a commitment to this woman that I love, this family that I love and I realized this can be fixed."

By the time R. Kelly is done with his "Trapped in the Closet" saga, it may have more chapters than "Moby Dick."

Parts one through twelve of the dramatic, over-the-top cheating story were released on DVD this week. Kelly says he actually had 22 chapters completed — "and (it's) still going."

"Other characters are being introduced into the whole situation, and it's just this big whirlwind, a circle of just drama, of things that really do happen on the earth," he told The Associated Press. "It's gonna flip people out because some people are going to see themselves in these chapters, and that's what keeps the excitement going — I think that's what keeps people going, 'I've got the get the next one!'"
