VH1's Strange Love could have had a field day in New York with Wednesday's dramatic scene. Apparently the 6-foot-2 Brigitte Nielsen, 41, suffered an asthma attack while driving through her Gramercy Park neighborhood with her manager and Foofy Foofy boy toy, Public Enemy rapper Flavor Flav.

According to the New York Daily News, Flav, 45, was quite heroic when his Amazonian mistress began to hyperventilate. "Flav suddenly jumped out in the middle of the street and ran between moving traffic to flag down an ambulance across the way. He was just so freaked out. Paramedics ran over and put her on an IV and some sort of breathing mask, and took her off on a stretcher," says an on-the-scene spy.

Flav not only attended to his girl in distress, but also to his public. "Flav was on crowd control, shaking hands and signing autographs," adds the tattler.

Isac Aguero made it a Bud Light on Saturday night. His employer thought it should have been Miller Time.

The 24-year-old from Racine said he was fired Monday, the same day a picture appeared in The Journal Times showing him holding a bottle of Bud Light. The picture was taken Saturday night, while Aguero was out in Downtown Racine during Mardi Crawl, and appeared as part of the JT's weekly "On the Town" feature depicting area nightlife.

The problem: Aguero was a forklift operator for CJW Inc., the area's supplier of Miller Brewing Co. products. He said he believes he was fired unfairly. "It was a Saturday and I wasn't at work," he said. "They can't tell me what beverages I can drink."

Hey Brit:

Nice try, but the lame wig does not make you incognito. We still recognize you.

Looks like Usher is well and truly over his split with Naomi Campbell.

The hunky singer was recently involved in a sixsome at the Sanderson hotel in London, says model Joanna Bond, 19. When she walked into the star's room she found "three men and three women interlocked on the bed," Britain's News of the World reports.

Bond, who said she was "powerless to resist," added, "He has a fantastic body. He obviously works very hard at it and is very proud of it. His six-pack was amazing. And he's impressively built where it matters, too."

--Um, 6 people?

Snoop Dogg - who performed a duet at the Brit Awards with Pharrell Williams - did his best to schmooze a reporter backstage.

After being told the attractive young journalist was from Jordan in the Middle East, the rapper, 33, replied: "Sorry, I don't know it. Is it safe there? They brainwash us in America when it comes to the Middle East. But if all the women there look like you, I'll definitely come and visit."

--Nice game there, Snoop.

Harmon's work schedule will not be affected. She is currently shooting 'End Game,' a political thriller opposite James Woods and Cuba Gooding Jr. Her next film, 'Fun with Dick and Jane,' hits theaters this summer.

Sing, sing a song (or 3):

Beyonce Knowles will have her work cut out at the 77th Academy Awards on February 27 - she's singing three of the five nominated songs.

The Destiny's Child star had already signed up to duet with Josh Groban on The Polar Express theme "Believe" and now she has agreed to sing the Original Song nominees from Phantom Of The Opera and Les Choristes.

Phantom star Minnie Driver was considered the obvious choice to sing Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Learn To Be Lonely" at the Oscars as she sang the tune on the film soundtrack, but Knowles has stepped in to perform. She'll also sing "Look To Your Path" from Les Choristes.

Meanwhile, rockers Counting Crows will perform their Shrek 2 Best Song nomination, "Accidentally In Love," while there's no confirmation as to who will sing the fifth nominated song, The Motorcycle Diaries' "Al Otro Lado Del Rey" at the awards show.

--I'm actually more excited to hear Josh Groban sing. He's great!

Ladies' man Robbie Williams turned the full force of his legendary charm on Joss Stone.

After performing Angels with 17-year-old Joss, he whispered softly in her ear. "I told her about my girth," said the 30-year-old star.

Calling her "my lovely wife", he added: "She is amazing and one of the nicest people I've ever met. I feel very sexy towards her, too." Sadly for Rob, Joss is loved-up with American boyfriend Beau Dozier, who was at the ceremony.

--His girth? Please.

Red-carpet fashion maven Steven Cojocaru's gig on NBC's "Today" show is over. "He's not going to be on the program again," "Today" show publicist Lauren Kapp told The Associated Press Thursday. "We are going our separate ways and we wish him all the best."

Cojocaru is scheduled to talk about his recent kidney transplant operation on an upcoming interview on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," Carly Ubersox, a spokesman for Winfrey's Harpo Productions, said Thursday.

Remember when I first posted about this story? Well, it looks like the woman got sentenced:

A woman has been sentenced to two and a half years in jail for ripping off her ex-lover's testicle with her bare hands during a drunken brawl after he refused her sex.

Amanda Monti, 24, flew into a rage in May last year after Geoffrey Jones, 37, who had ended their long-term relationship, rejected her advances.

She grabbed him by the genitals, tearing off his left testicle, then hid it in her mouth before a friend of Jones handed it back to him saying "that's yours".

Prince Charles announced Thursday that he will marry his lover Camilla Parker Bowles, putting an official seal on a long romance that Princess Diana blamed for the breakdown of her tempestuous marriage to the heir to the throne.

The Prince of Wales and Parker Bowles will marry on Friday, April 8, at Windsor Castle, said Clarence House, Charles' residence and office.

They will be married in a largely private civil ceremony at the palace, not in a Church of England service.

--I'll never understand how he could pick Cammy over Di. I mean, look at her!

1 I have my suspicions that.. SHE'S A MAN, BABY!! In which case it is crystal clear why he would pick her...er..him. ~L.

Posted by: Laura Fitzgerald at February 10, 2005 07:17 AM (PQCQQ)

2 Ditto. I mean Diana had looks and a somewhat crazy personality but it was because she got treated like dog crap by Charles and the Royal Family. But you know how some men are, they rather have a ugly woman over someone with beauty.

Posted by: Jen at February 10, 2005 07:34 AM (GUkyr)

3 Wierd discussion about feminine beauty when you think about it. A woman is only "worthy" of marriage if she is beautiful???

Posted by: Jasper at February 10, 2005 07:58 AM (TsKJ3)

4 Not at all--but as far as grace, class, charm, etc. I'd say Di wins hands down. AND--keep in mind Camilla was getting it on w/ Charles when he was still married, so I lose a bit of respect for her there too.

Posted by: Lawren at February 10, 2005 07:59 AM (sql83)

5 So that was grace, class, charm, etc being exuded when Diana was getting it on with Major Hewitt while married to Charles?

Posted by: Mephistopheles at February 10, 2005 09:06 AM (lrCbr)

6 The two simply like each other. They both have many things in common, they share many similar interests, they always loved each other. Take out the 'royal' factor and make them two ordinary people they would be perfectly happy and gotten married 35 years ago. Charles marriage to Diana was damn near an arranged marriage. He didn't know her very well and because he's royalty he had to marry someone of certain stature. No wonder the marriage failed. I happy for Charles. He gets to marry the woman he always wanted to be with.

7 I guess I'm clearly the minority with this one!

8 Nah...i agree with you, L. But...i am so silly, i thought they already were married....duh.

Posted by: Kelly P. at February 10, 2005 09:54 AM (+0CJH)

9 you can say she isn't as attractive as Diana was. She is not as young either. I think they looked like an equally matched couple. (charles and di where far from that, they should have never married). And when is a lasting & successful marriage only about looks and age?

Posted by: lynne at February 10, 2005 10:06 AM (eIOvp)

10 Ok, I think I'm being misunderstood here. I never said anything about a lasting marriage being linked to being pretty. I just happen to like Di. I happen to think Charles treated her like shit, perpetuated her eating disorder, etc. So, I just have kind of a dislike for him. Just my opinion, that's all. I'm sure Di wasn't perfect--I wasn't saying she was. But, she did a lot to perpetuate the "image" that Charles demanded, and he wasn't very nice to her in return.

Posted by: Lawren at February 10, 2005 10:30 AM (sql83)

11 I swear if she took off her makeup and wore a flannel button up and Lee jeans, she'd look like one of my white trash neighbors up here in Nobletucky. *snort* (that was awful of me, wasn't it?)

Posted by: Pam at February 10, 2005 11:43 AM (y0RwV)

12 Lawren - i'll have to send u a link someday to my wedding photo from 1989 -- my hairstylist did my hair just like Di. I used to get told I looked like her all the time (until I got pg x 3 and fat! LOL)

Posted by: Pam at February 10, 2005 11:44 AM (y0RwV)

13 Lawren - I agree Diana was a beautiful, stunning smart, and caring woman. She is an icon indeed. And yes Charles treated her like shit but that is not what you said - so we are calling you on it.

Posted by: lynne at February 10, 2005 01:12 PM (RSvAS)

14 And just LOOK at old Charles! He's still using that old "Pull My Finger" routine... Dan Patterson

Posted by: Dan Patterson at February 10, 2005 01:54 PM (nhmvs)

15 I'm not crazy about Camilla - - I think because of the whole Princess Di thing - - but everyone deserves a bit of happiness in their lives -- so I hope these two are happy

"Playing House"--with Britney and Kevin:

From an interview with Kevin Federline airing tonight on "Access Hollywood: "I love her more than anything. I'll spend the rest of my life with her and deal with the good and the bad," the dancer gushes to Billy Bush.

Asked to describe himself, Federline replies: "I'm easy, laid back and nice." Britney, eavesdropping from upstairs, yells "Sexy!" Asked what they do for fun, Federline says, "We play house, we cook. We are actually going to get lessons soon from a chef."

--Maybe they should get "play" children before they try the real kind.

Yesterday I posted about Jennifer Aniston possibly getting close to Vince Vaughn. Now, it seems Brad is moving on as well:

Hollywood hunk Brad Pitt has been linked to Maxim model April Florio, only a month after announcing his split from wife Jennifer Aniston.

Pitt and Aniston called time on their four and a half year marriage on January 7, but continue to live together in their Beverly Hills, California mansion. Pitt was photographed with 22-year-old Florio in a Santa Monica ice cream store earlier this week.

British newspaper Daily Express reports Florio and Pitt were introduced by the actor's Ocean's Twelve co-star George Clooney in Europe last summer. Florio's agent Mike Esterman says, "I just spoke to her and she was with him in Greece and California." Florio is Miss December in this year's Maxim calendar and has filmed a small role in upcoming Paris Hilton film Pledge This.

He's conquered the world of business, real estate and reality TV. Now, ABC wants to bring you his story. The network has given the green light to a television movie about Donald Trump's life, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

But don't look for the famous tycoon to be in on the project. Trump isn't expected to be involved in the unauthorized flick, based on the book called The Trumps: Three Generations That Built an Empire.

As for who will play the millionaire mogul? A spokesperson for ABC says it will be a challenge to find someone who can pull off the essence of "The Donald," who has become "the American version of royalty."

Ben to marry another Jen?

A "school pal" of Jennifer Garner speculates to People that the cutesy couple could be looking to take their nearly seven-month-old relationship to the next level, perhaps by Valentine's Day.

"It's my understanding that he's going to give her a ring," the mole tells the mag, adding the butt-covering qualifier, "I don't know for sure."

Whispers that the pair, who are both 32, plan to settle down began in earnest after Affleck coughed up a little more than $4.6 million for a 4,500-square-foot gated, five-bedroom and five-and-a-half bath Brentwood home situated just a couple of miles from Garner's pad.

Mandy Moore Creates T-shirt Line:

Pop star Mandy Moore created her own line and label, Mblem, so that she could have an unlimited supply of "functional, casual and sexy" T's.

"It all evolved from the fact that I'm totally the jeans and T-shirt girl. If I can get away with wearing jeans and a T-shirt somewhere, I'll do it," Moore told The Associated Press in a phone interview.

Her Mblem shirts, which are priced at about $50, are available in some of her favorite color combinations, including orange and brown and pink and brown, printed with lyrics of some of her favorite classic rock songs.

Britney Spears' raunchy 30-second ad for her fragrance Curious will make its UK debut during ITV1's coverage on Thursday night.

Dressed in a skimpy pink camisole and jeans, the 23-year-old gets down and dirty with model Eric Winter in a shower.

And, ever the professional, Brit insisted on doing all the scenes herself, refusing the offer of a body double even for the explicit shots.

--Wonder what Kev thinks.

Relationship Advice, by Will and Jada:

"Every time somebody in Hollywood breaks up, Jada and I go and find out why," Will Smith, currently out stumping for the matchmaking comedy "Hitch," tells the New York Post. "With Bruce and Demi, we spent hours talking to them. And Tom and Nicole -- hours, just trying to understand what happened."

The seemingly nosy Smiths, who celebrated their seventh anniversary on New Year's Eve (they have two children together), have so far avoided the problems that plague so many Hollywood marriages by always being upfront with one another, even when it comes to checking out hotties. "I mean, wow, Eva Mendes is freaking gorgeous," gushes Smith of his "Hitch" co-star, an assessment he says he has no problem sharing with the missus. "Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural," he tells the paper. "You're going to be attracted to people. In our marriage vows, we didn't say 'forsaking all others.'"

"The vow that we made was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact," Smith explains. "If it came down to it, then one [spouse] can say to the other, 'Look, I need to have sex with somebody. I'm not going to if you don't approve of it -- but please approve of it.'"

Despite the apparent loophole in their wedding vows, Smith says he's perfectly content in his marriage, whose success he ascribes to one simple tenet: "Are you a person of your word or not?" To that end, the A-lister not only assigns himself relationship homework but devotes oodles of time to dissecting the union with Jada. "I spend hours reading, studying," he tells the Post. "And my wife and I talk about things that work -- and don't work."

--They had me until the allowing your spouse to have sex with someone else part.

1 I agree that it is natural to check out beautiful/hot people of the opposite gender, and you shouldn't expect your sig. other to avoid looking or even aknowledging attraction. But, what the hell is with the "let me do it with someone else"??? I don't get that at all. ps. I had to edit my content to avoid the word $ex. no clue why.

Posted by: at February 10, 2005 11:48 AM (tNznv)

2 That's hot.

Posted by: Iceman at February 10, 2005 12:14 PM (Kohcy)

3 I definitely agree that it is natural to notice beauty when you see it. In a healthy relationship, you should be able to discuss these feelings with your partner. On the other hand, that means you can talk about it, NOT act on it! They have a word for this... not alternative lifestyle, not consenting swinging, it's called CHEATING! By the way "L", I'm crushed that you didn't bet on "Lucky #7".

Posted by: 007 at February 10, 2005 02:05 PM (cUMAN)

4 Wow. Who woulda guess that Will Smith is a name-dropper.

Posted by: Kevvy the Unnamed Source at February 10, 2005 06:01 PM (7V8r+)

5 Well, I think his words are out of context.. this is the information I found after hearing that.... Smith says that the trust he shares with his wife puts any doubts to rest. "Eva Mendes is beautiful. Do I think it would be fun to sleep with Eva Mendes? Uh, yeah. Am I going to try to sleep with Eva Mendes? Of course not. Jada understands completely that I am a man of my word. That's all you've got. You can't have a successful relationship if you don't have it." The love doctor has spoken. ------------------------------------- Further attempts to press Smith on what some press reports have quaintly described as the “open marriage” enjoyed by him and Jada Pinkett-Smith elicit only the confusing response from him that: “Fidelity in a marriage is huge, you’ve got to have that or you have nothing.
