Surprise


Yes, Chris Rock, there is a Santa Claus. Parents with young children who happened to watch "Everybody Hates Chris" in the past week had some explaining to do when the character of Rock's brother suddenly told his younger sister that Santa doesn't exist.

"Everybody knows there's no Santa Claus," Drew said to Tonya on the UPN sitcom. "Come here, let me show you something. I'm taking you to the toys ... Santa doesn't come down the chimney. We don't even have a chimney. We have radiators." Disillusioned, she stomps out of the room.

But wait. It gets worse. Put on the spot, Tonya's dad Julius tells her the Easter bunny and tooth fairy don't exist, either. "Somebody better give me my teeth back," the girl fumes.

A blindsided UPN received "a handful" of complaints about the Santa expose on its sitcom based loosely on comic Rock's life growing up in Brooklyn, a spokeswoman said. This is a series whose use of the n-word in its first episode passed with relatively little notice.

Happy Anniversary, Madonna


Madonna's plans for a romantic Highland anniversary with husband Guy Richie have been dashed - by a broken plane.

The couple were set to fly to Scotland's Skibo Castle, where they were married in 2000, to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary - but their jet suddenly developed technical problems. After waiting for two hours for the aircraft to be mended the disappointed pair decided to call of their trip.

Madonna's spokesperson is quoted in Scotland's Daily Record newspaper as saying: "They were due to make a private visit to Scotland but the plane developed a technical fault and the trip was cancelled."

Earlier this week, it was revealed the singer is determined to inject a little festive cheer into her family Christmas - by stocking up on her favourite beer. The singer has ordered 300 pints of award winning Folly ale for herself and Guy.

Beer fans describe the ale as a "traditional, full-bodied Yorkshire bitter", and one Folly drinker said: "I'm not surprised she fell in love with Folly because it's a wonderful pint." Bosses at the Wharfedale brewery in Skipton were only too happy to deliver the booze to Madonna's mansion in Wiltshire - 275 miles away.

Desperate Housewives News


Desperate Housewives News:

--According to Marc Malkin, of The Insider, Jessica Simpson may be making a guest appearance on the worst show on television, Desperate Housewives. Simpson was having lunch with Housewive's Eva Longoria (her treat, by the way) at Cha Cha Cha restaurant in L.A. last week. Of course, there is no official confirmation, since publicists never do thier job right.

"Thanks for making me laugh," Simpson said to Longoria, a fellow diner reports. "You know how much I need that right now."

--The producers of Desperate Housewives have lived up to their promise to find bigger story lines for Eva Longoria—the second series sees her seduce Felicity Huffman's onscreen husband Doug Savant.

The Latina beauty was furious when she was the only Housewife not to receive a Golden Globe nomination for her role in the hit series last year, and TV bosses pledged to find meatier scenes to aid the sex symbol's quest to prove her talents.

The 30-year-old will sizzle on TV screens as her character Gabrielle Solis has a raunchy affair with Savant's character Tom Scavo. Savant says, "When we come back, Eva Longoria is kissing me! I had a hellacious day on set with just hours and hours of Eva kissing me."

B.I.G. Stabbing


Three people were stabbed early Wednesday at a Manhattan club that was hosting a record-release party for a new collection of duets featuring slain rapper Notorious B.I.G.

Detectives also were investigating a shooting near the club, named Exit, that occurred around the same time. It was unclear if the two incidents were related. Authorities could not confirm reports that the party was attended by Sean "Diddy" Combs and Notorious B.I.G.'s mother, Voletta Wallace. The two co-produced the new "Duets" record, which pairs the rapper's vocals with Eminem, Jay-Z and other artists.

Police said that at 3:10 a.m. patrol officers heard gunfire at a parking garage near the club. Inside, they found three men with gunshot wounds; all were taken to the hospital in stable condition. Moments later, police received a 911 call reporting a stabbing at the club. Officers found three victims - two men who were slashed in the face and one who was stabbed in the stomach; all were hospitalized.

There were no arrests. Detectives were questioning the occupants of a car spotted fleeing the scene shortly after the shooting.

Courtney's Broke


Courtney Love is broke and wants to raise cash by selling her rights to the song catalog of her late husband, Kurt Cobain, and Nirvana.

Sources say Love, whose Crosby Street apartment was in foreclosure earlier this year, is looking for $100 million. This should come as salt in the wounds of Nirvana's Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Chad Channing, who fought with Love for years over control of the songs and over royalties.

Griffen Gets Canned From E!


E! President and CEO Ted Harbert is the grinch who stole Kathy Griffin's Christmas.

Just a week before the holiday, Harbert informed Griffin's lawyer her services would no longer be needed at E! To make it worse, she found out she'd been axed only because her lawyer called asking "what the deal was" with the upcoming Golden Globes.

The tart-tongued redhead brought a much needed sparkle to the E! awards show coverage ever since Joan Rivers left for greener pastures at the TV Guide channel. Griffin, whose latest special, "Allegedly," is airing on Bravo, told Page Six: "I asked my reps, 'What's going on? The Golden Globes are in three weeks.' "

When Griffin's people called Harbert, "Apparently Ted told my reps that the E! red carpet is a puzzle and I am a piece of the puzzle, which is a wonderful puzzle piece, but I don't fit this particular puzzle and that when I see the puzzle, I will get it. I am a piece that doesn't understand only because they can't tell me who will take over.

"They kept saying, 'When you see the new puzzle, you will know it is not a personal insult.' I was like, are you kidding? I got canned, bottom line. I can't even be like Star Jones and be like, 'Oh, I have a book tour coming up!' " Jones briefly worked with Griffin at E! covering the red carpet events, but was criticized for being too much of a suck-up to the stars. When her contract wasn't renewed, Jones claimed it was because she needed to publicize her book, "Shine," out next month.

Griffin also got into trouble on the red carpet when she joked that Dakota Fanning was in rehab — prompting Fanning's reps to threaten to sue E!

UPDATE: Griffen's replacement? Ryan Seacrest. Gross.

Jessica Strikes Back


71% of People magazine readers and 76% of Star magazine readers say that the break up of Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey was all her fault. Of course, not content to let public opinion run it's course, the Simpson camp is said to be gearing up for a massive PR offensive, says the New York Daily News.

Rumor has it that Simpson's PR man, Rob Shuter at Dan Klores Communications (which also reps the Daily News), has been calling nearly every gossip reporter in town with tips about Nick - alleging everything from greediness to lechery.

Reports a spy: "Rob's been shopping around stories that Nick was messing around, and has been trying to take any woman that was in the same room with Nick and passing that off as a torrid affair. Now he's pushing that A.J. manager story. It's all bull."

And if that wasn't enough to give you a taste for celebrity feuding, there are also stories that Nick is trying to parlay his side of the story into a cash deal with OK! magazine. Yesterday, a certain somebody apparently planted an item in a gossip column about Nick shamelessly selling his side of the story to OK! magazine for $300,000 - an item that coincidentally just so happened to tout another Klores client, the New York club Pacha. To which OK! magazine resonded: "We have not done a deal for Nick Lachey's story. We have no deal nor are we looking to do a deal for Nick's story."

Trouble In Sin City


It doesn't look like George Clooney is going to make that big financial score in Las Vegas as he did in "Ocean's Eleven."

Sources tell The Post's Braden Keil that his much-ballyhooed, $3 billion Las Ramblas condominium and entertainment project on 25 acres in Sin City is in trouble and may be scrapped.

Clooney and partners, who include Rande Gerber and Miami builder Jorge Perez, made big news last summer when the plan was announced, with the Hollywood heartthrob saying he'd donate his share of profits to charity. But the Vegas housing market is already experiencing a condo construction glut.
