Dennis Rodman had his first reunion with his father in over a decade last week - and it wasn't pleasant.

According to the former NBA star's agent Darren Prince, Rodman's dad, Philander, showed up at an exhibition game in Manila "with a camera crew and an entourage of eight people and two bodyguards - he had apparently sold the rights to get him on camera with Dennis.

A scuffle broke out and Philander threw a punch at Rodman's bodyguard, but missed . . . Dennis felt used and was angry as his father has made only one attempt in 40 years to see or talk to him, and that was in 1996 when he wanted the rights to write a book about Dennis." Later, an undeterred Philander showed up at Rodman's hotel with his camera crew where armed guards chased them away.

Prince claims that "hundreds of fans" knew what was going on and started chanting, " 'Get out of here, you deadbeat Dad.' "

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were married Sunday on a private tropical island in Fiji.

The non-denominational ceremony was attended only by the bride and groom, both barefoot and wearing white. "We didn't want to wait another day to get married," Spelling said. Adds her new husband, "I've never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I've had with her. The feeling is overwhelming. We're soul mates."

Spelling, 32, and McDermott, 39, met last summer in Ottawa while filming the TV movie Mind Over Murder. At the time, she was wed to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, and McDermott was married to his wife of 12 years, Mary Jo Eustace.

"It just happened," a Spelling friend said about their romance. "No one meant any harm to anyone. You can't help who you fall in love with and who you're right with." In September, Spelling announced her split from Shanian, and McDermott filed for divorce from Eustace. Spelling's divorce became final last month.

McDermott proposed to the So NoTORIous star on Christmas Eve in Toronto, Canada. His sister put out lights leading to a table for two surrounded by decorated Christmas trees. The couple rode up in a horse-drawn carriage, and McDermott presented Spelling with a diamond and sapphire ring. "It was so magical. All the stars aligned. I have never been happier in my life," McDermott said. McDermott has since shown his love for Spelling with tattoos, including one on his wrist that reads "Truly, Madly, Deeply, Tori" and another on his shoulder: a portrait of her.

The OC star Rachel Bilson has been hiding a painful secret from fans - she once 'died' in a car crash.

The actress almost lost her life at 14 after the car she was riding in with pals crashed into another vehicle on California's beach road the Pacific Coast Highway. She says, "I basically died and then came back. The window went into my head. It was really gross."

The 24-year-old, who has a permanent reminder of the accident in the shape of a scar above her right eye, admits she still suffers from crippling migraines and memory loss - both of which she credits to her brush with death.

Britney Spears has hired a babysitter — for her hubby.

The “Oops, I Did It Again” crooner is paying a minder/bodyguard to keep an eye on her aspiring rap star husband Kevin Federline, according to In Touch Weekly.

“The last thing Britney wants to do is accompany Kevin on all his club dates,” an “insider” told the mag. “That’s why she hired a babysitter — a person who will keep Kevin from misbehaving and report directly back to her.”

The move reportedly came after one of Spears’ most trusted security guys, an ex-CIA agent named Richard, quit because of Federline’s partying. “Richard is a straitlaced guy, and he was upset with Kevin’s behavior,” a “pal” told the mag. Spears eventually convinced Richard to return — after promising to do something about her partying hubby. “I’ll take care of the Kevin situation,” she allegedly promised, “if you take care of me.”

Federline was not thrilled about having the round-the-clock sitter, says the mag, but “Britney told him it wasn’t up for negotiation.”

It seems younger sis Ashlee Simpson's recent nose job makes her look more like her big sis, Jessica. It's the latest move in a makeover that's seen Ashlee go from dark-haired, ratty rocker to sophisticated blonde. And sources tell Star that Jess, 25, is furious over Ashlee's apparent quest to morph into her more successful sis.

Early on April 21, a source says, Ashlee, 21, arrived at the office of famed Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Raj Kanodia with her parents, Joe and Tina, for a nose job. "Afterward, her parents helped her into a waiting SUV," says the source. And as pictures taken just a week later show, the change is dramatic. "Her nose is thinner and more feminine," says NYC-based plastic surgeon and rhinoplasty specialist Dr. Geoffrey Tobias, who hasn't treated Ashlee. In other words, more like Jess'.

Nose jobs like Ashlee's leave no scarring and little bruising — recovery time is usually just five days. But while Ashlee may not be black-and-blue, she may feel bruised by Jess' reaction.

"Jess was furious Ashlee was having her nose altered," says a source close to Jess. "She said the last thing she wants is her little sister looking just like her." Why not be flattered? "The older Ashlee gets, the more competitive the sisters have become," says the source of the once-close pair. "Jess is nervous that Ashlee's itching to muscle her way out of second place [in the Simpson family] by going from singer to actress — and starring in a bigger hit than The Dukes of Hazzard."

6 Her nosejob doesn't make her look more like Jessica, because she has a more masculine nose too. Thats a load.

7 c'mon! i thought ashlee had more brain and was better than that! a nosejob?! what a fuck! it's not enough the sutpid blonde hair like a pathetic barbie doll! i really liked her music, i thought she was a completely different person. oh...! know what? she's got more than one plastic surgery...in some photos of some hard rock cafe presentation or something like that you can really notice it she's beginning a transformation. she's gonna end like hillary duff or some similar plastic brat. don't get me wrong, i really really really loved her, in every way. i even got her same haircut and color it of a deep black ghost like her. but after hearing all the gossiping, i am very diappointed.

8 What the heck? She was beautiful and more exotic before, and now she's just turning into a Barbie doll! If we all looked the same, the world would be a really boring place! We should celebrate diversity of beauty images! I was really disappointed to hear of her plastic surgery.

Posted by: Anjuli at May 13, 2006 07:45 PM (LJ10+)

9 who cares? live and let live. if someone wants to get a nose job (whether a celebrity or not), it's their business. plastic surgery is a personal choice people make for various reasons. a little tuning up isn't a bad thing if it makes someone feel more confident...and if someone says that all of someone's confidence should come from within, then they're just kidding themselves because we all know that how we look has some affect on our confidence levels (of course, not entirely)...especially in today's look-driven society. it's no wonder over 90% of americans say they'd want some form of plastic surgery. if someone wants or gets it, big deal.

Actress Jennifer Aniston is no longer denying that she is in a romantic relationship with actor Vince Vaughn.

According to the Daily Mirror, the two actors have signed a purchase contract together for a new home. The price of the house, in Vaughn's hometown of Chicago, was $12 million.

A source said, "It's in a quiet, private neighbourhood and Vince is so well-liked there that he and Jen are hoping they're just going to be allowed to keep a low profile and get on with their lives." Aniston recently talked about the city during an interview, "I like Chicago. The people leave me in peace. They also have great museums and restaurants there. It's beautiful."

The home that the two have purchased sits on a 7.5 acre spread, and includes 9 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms and a garage big enough for six cars.

After many, many claims she loved eating and was just small boned, Nicole Richie has finally admitted that she has a weight problem and sheÂ’s worried that people will try to emulate her.

“I know I’m too thin right now, so I wouldn’t want any young girl looking at me and saying, ‘That’s what I want to look like.’”

She’s still denying it’s an eating disorder but accepts it is a problem: “I started seeing a nutritionist and a doctor… I do recognize that I have a problem, and I want to be responsible and fix it, and I’m on that path right now.”

They say money can't buy happiness - and in billionaire Mark Cuban's case, it can't even get him into Bungalow 8.

The limelight-loving owner of the Dallas Mavericks was denied entry to Amy Sacco's late-night funhouse, even after he offered door demigods Disco and Armin $1,000 to let him inside - a cringe-inducing ploy used primarily by tacky out-of-towners. An eyewitness tells Page Six that Cuban, accompanied by party promoter Usman Shaikh and a few young ladies, was initially turned away after Shaikh approached Disco and told him that Cuban owned the Mavericks.

"Disco was not impressed," says our snitch. "One of the girls asked if Armin was there and if she could talk to him. Armin comes out and asks Cuban if he wants to buy a table. Cuban says yes. Armin goes inside, comes back about five minutes later and says, 'Sorry, there are no tables available. I can't help you.' "The girl then asks if they could just go in without a table, but Armin says no. Cuban then says to Disco something to the effect of 'I'm Mark Cuban . . . What's it gonna take?' He offers him cash - I think it was a thousand bucks. He reaches in his back pocket, and at this point the girl he is with yanks him by the arm and says, 'No, you can't do that here.' She was mortified."

Cuban then announced that it was "embarrassing" he couldn't get into the club, at which point Shaikh, a corporate lawyer who promotes parties at Pink Elephant, convinced Cuban and his posse that they would receive warmer treatment there. Once inside Rocco Ancarola's nightspot, located on the same crowded West 27th Street club corridor as Bungalow 8, Cuban was spotted chatting up several young women at his table. As he asked one hanger-on to round up some girls, he was overheard saying, "Just say I'm a billionaire. They'll come over." He also cracked, "For every billion dollars I have, my [bleep] gets 10 inches longer."

The last stop of the night for fun-loving Cuban and company was Scores West, where cash is by far the most important credential. We're told Cuban dropped thousands of dollars on champagne and "funny money" in the VIP room before leaving around 5 a.m.

Veteran actress Jane Fonda is the surprise new face of L'Oreal, heading a lucrative advertising campaign at the age of 68.

The star joins a glittering list of celebrity spokesmodels including Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz after signing to front L'Oreal Paris anti-aging treatment. The $700,000 contract will see Fonda endorse the face cream on billboards and magazines, and the actress - who is a vocal critic of cosmetic surgery - insists she is perfect for the role.

She says, "Somebody's got to give a face to getting old. I'm going to try and organize other women in my profession and my friends to say no to the duck lips and getting rid of the wrinkles. I've just traveled through Sweden and Finland, looking at faces that were real... as opposed to, in Hollywood, (where) everybody is starting to looking alike."

Execs at TrimSpa should be careful about scolding their diet-program spokesmodel Anna Nicole Smith if she gains a few pounds. She has an airtight excuse, reports the New York Daily News: She's pregnant.

If true, the former Playmate -- who recently battled relatives of her late husband, J. Howard Marshall II, at the Supreme Court over his estate -- could be in for another fight. Smith, 38, is said to have conceived the child with the help of a friend.

'Anna's freaking out because she got pregnant by this guy, who's now saying, `I want money and access to the kid,' '' says an insider.

Smith has a 20-year-old son, Daniel, with Billy Smith, whom she married in 1985 and divorced in 1987.

"Sopranos" mob boss James Gandolfini says he's fortunate to be unscathed after he crashed into a taxi while scooting around the Village on his Vespa.

"I'm fine," Gandolfini told The Post yesterday, one day after an accident on Hudson Street left him sprawled on his back with ripped sweatpants and a mangled machine. "I'm tough. My bike, that's not so tough. It's not doing well," he said. But the self-proclaimed macho man is looking to soften his image. "Do me a favor," he said. "Get a picture of me smiling in The Post. I always look angry."

Kevin Federline needs to think before he speaks (if that’s possible). While promoting his single “America’s Most Hated” on L.A. radio show Power 106 on April 28, Britney Spears’ hubby admitted he’d like to have a threesome with actress Jessica Alba.

K-Fed also dissed one of his woman’s biggest hits. “I don’t think there’s one [song] that I really hate,” he said. “I could do without hearing ‘…Baby One More Time’ anymore.”

Sources tell Us that Spears’ pregnancy is the only thing keeping the unhappy pop star in the marriage. “Britney sees now that Kevin is a loser,” says an insider, who notes that at the time Britney began dating Federline, she was lonely and looking for someone to replace her ex Justin Timberlake. “Her mistake was that Kevin is the type you fly around the world having a wild time with, not the one you marry and make babies with.”

Denise Richards says Heather Locklear has betrayed her.

In an exclusive interview with TMZ, Richards denies she was involved with Richie Sambora, the estranged husband of Locklear, before Locklear and Sambora split.

"Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie and she knows why my marriage ended with Charlie (Sheen)," Richards said. Richards says comments by Locklear and David Spade, who suggested Richards had back-stabbed Locklear, were a "betrayal."

"It is a betrayal because a lot of it isn't true and they know that and that's what's hard," Richards said. "I have to try and just stay focused on my kids and forget that part of it as difficult as it is." Richards also says that she stands by the allegations she has made against Sheen in their divorce. "I stand by it and it's sad that it's gotten to this," she says. "My focus is just getting my girls through this because it's very, very difficult and very sad."
