Howard Stern may be coming down with a Sirius case of the bleeps.

High-level executives of the satellite broadcaster are developing an internal standards-and-practices document that will set boundaries for Stern and other shock jocks. “It’s something that’s being taken very seriously," a Sirius source said.

Stern's new show also is being broadcast on a time-delay, giving him the opportunity to censor the program — which he already has done. Stern moved to Sirius in part because satellite-radio services such as Sirius and XM — unlike free terrestrial radio — are not policed by the FCC, which spent years waging an indecency war against him.

In a turn of events, the paparazzi then waited with Spears and her brother until authorities arrived. When they arrived, Britney and Bryan reportedly hopped into the squad car's backseat and were driven back home.

Jason Lee has the chickenpox--and his show will go on hiatus.

Although the 35-year-old actor's immediate fellow cast members on My Name is Earl– including Jaime Pressly, Ethan Suplee, Nadine Vasquez and Eddie Steeples – have already had the highly contagious yet common childhood disease (which normally brings about more serious consequences when contracted by an adult), at least one other "Earl" costar said his mother "couldn't remember" if he had had the pox.

When the show's executive producer and creator Greg Garcia was asked this weekend about how he would write around his incapacitated – and itchy – leading man, he replied that no Lee means no show.

"He'll be in all the episodes," says Garcia. "We're just shutting down until (Lee) is feeling better and is presentable to put on TV again." NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly said the hiatus should last "for about three weeks."

Joey Buttafuoco, Amy Fisher and Mary Jo Buttafuoco — the Long Island love-triangle figures who exploded onto the nation's front pages 15 years ago — plan a TV reunion they promise will have "shocking revelations," The Post has learned.

A California producer said he signed all three this month and hopes to sell their TV tell-all this year. "Time heals all wounds," said Fisher, the erstwhile Long Island Lolita. "It's been nearly 15 years, so it's time to just put it behind us. We played this all out in a public eye. It'd be interesting to let the public see the healing process at the end. They saw everything else — why not let them see the final product?"

Fisher, now 31, was convicted of shooting lover Joey's wife, Mary Jo Buttafuoco, in the head in 1992, and served seven years in prison. She was released early, with the magnanimous support of her victim. Joey and Mary Jo ended their 26-year marriage in 2003. Joey has since remarried, and Mary Jo is engaged.

One of Heidi Klum's legs is worth less than the other.

Klum's legs are insured for two-point-two million dollars.

She says her left leg has a "stupid little scar" from when she fell on glass when she was a kid. So that leg is worth only one million dollars, while her right leg is insured for 200-thousand more.

Squeaky clean Jennifer Love Hewitt may soon be a centerfold, sources say. "Jennifer has received some really big-bucks offers for years from magazines, including Playboy, to pose nude," but she has always laughed off the idea, a close friend tells Star People.

Although Hewitt, 26, has a hit with CBS's Ghost Whisperer, she still wants a film career and doesn't feel she's getting the right scripts. "She always gets offered a cute little sidekick role," another friend says. "She told me that maybe a sexy magazine layout with her showing her assets might give her a little edgier image and she might be considered for a femme fatale role. She knows she can pull it off, but she thinks casting directors aren't so sure."

--Keep your fingers crossed, boys.

Angelina Jolie is reportedly pregnant with twins.

It is alleged the 30-year-old actress, who announced last week she is expecting lover Brad Pitt's baby, is expecting two babies because of fertility treatment.

A source close to the couple is quoted in Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Angelina is overjoyed. Getting pregnant with one of Brad's children would have been God's precious gift to her. "Now we believe she is carrying twins. Angie is in seventh heaven." Another source told a US magazine: "I understand that she's undergone fertility treatments to help her conceive and it certainly seems to have worked."

NBC's acclaimed White House drama "The West Wing" will conclude its seven-year run in May -- as had long been expected -- after languishing through a steep ratings decline in recent seasons, the network said on Sunday.

In formally announcing plans to bring the series to a close on May 14, NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly stressed the show's fate was strictly a matter of TV democracy -- "West Wing" simply failed to draw enough viewers to keep it on the air.

"It's no secret that the ratings have been tough for the last couple of seasons," Reilly said at NBC's semiannual presentation to TV critics. "There's a point where you look at the ratings and you just say, 'it's time."'

After reading her hacked-into e-mails and watching her do the nasty on tape with Rick Salomon, is there anything America doesn't know about Paris Hilton?

For those still wondering what the world- renowned celebutard is really like in person, the Web site TMZ.com got the full transcript of her deposition with lawyers representing Zeta Graff, who's suing Hilton for $10 million for defamation over her alleged role in a story that appeared on Page Six.

Among other lowlights from her deposition, Hilton claims Graff once told friends of Mariana Kourkoulos, mother of their shared ex, Paris Latsis, that Hilton had worked as a "prostitute" on billion-nerd Paul Allen's yacht during the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. And that's just for starters.

* Paris on the challenge of friendship: "I meet so many people. I don't even know some of my friends' names."

* On women who stalk women: "I would never say stalking. I'm not a dude. Like, I think a girl can only stalk a guy. She can't really stalk another girl."

* On travel: "I was in Europe for the whole summer, and all there is is, like, French - I didn't see anything because I wasn't in America."

* On the nature of e-mail: "Whatever I write in e-mail, it doesn't mean anything. It is just words I write."

* On spelling Israeli-born music/movie producer Guy Oseary's name: "O with an apostrophe S-e-a-r-y."

[Her Lawyer]: "Do you know how to spell his first name?"

Paris: "Just G-u-i, Gui . . . I've known him for a while."

* On Graff: "[I told her] she is old and should stay at home with her child instead of being at nightclubs with young people. And just that - I just . . . What else did I say? Just that she is not cute at all."

* On Page Six: "I don't know them, but, like, if I see them at a party, they will come up to me, but I don't talk to them."

Lawyer: "So you would not consider anybody at Page Six a friend?"

Paris: "No, definitely not. I hate Page Six."

At one point, she blurts out, "I'm hungry."

Bobby Brown is brushing off reports that he and wife Whitney Houston are headed for divorce court. "The rumors are wrong," Brown said on Thursday. "They're false."

Among several recent reports about the couple, New York's Daily News said the R&B singer, 36, was telling friends that he was planning to divorce Houston, 42. (The Atlanta-area based couple have a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 12). The Daily News also reported that earlier this month Brown was seen with several women backstage at Connecticut's Foxwoods Casino.

Asked by PEOPLE on Thursday how the story started, Brown replied, "I really couldn't tell you. They say I said something about it, but I joke a lot. ... I don't think I said it, but if I did it was a joke. Trust me. ... It's someone that got the words mixed up." When Houston heard the story, Brown says, "Oh, she called me! She's calling me on a regular basis like, 'Bobby! Did you say this? Did you say that?'"

Brown describes Houston as "definitely upset." As for himself, he says, "There's no way I can be upset, because I didn't say it and I'm not trying to divorce her, and that's the most important thing. "She's my friend," he adds. "She's the better half of me. They say opposites attract, but we're not opposites. We're one person. We're loving life, and we're just trying to be as good to each other as possible. And we're moving on."

--Whew. Now I can sleep tonight.

Fabrizio Moretti knows how to keep girlfriend Drew Barrymore happy.

When Jane magazine asked the Strokes drummer to name the craziest place he'd had sex [presumably with Barrymore], Moretti answered: "I had sex in the bathroom at the opera a little while ago, in New York. We went to 'La Boheme' and it was wicked boring. So we decided to go to the bathroom, and we got caught, and it was embarrassing. If we'd gone to the men's room, people would've heard it and said, 'Good on you, man.' But we were in the ladies' room, and when we heard an old woman start to tinkle, we couldn't help but crack up. I guess she told the security guy - he came in and was, like, 'Just go.' "

The Vanilla Sky actress will follow in the footsteps of Beyonce Knowles, Scarlett Johansson and Andie Macdowell to promote L'Oreal Paris' latest hair-dye product Natural Match.
