The nation's favorite hood ornament, Tawny Kitaen recently gave an interview to Blender magazine.

Among dishing on her divorces, she dished a little fun fact about Laguna Beach's Kristin Cavalleri:

Do you feel bad for people like Nick and Jessica, whose divorce ends up being fought through the tabloids?They did it to themselves. These were two people who strove for attention. Who was really talking about them before this happened? Also, I have a little secret about the girl Nick was supposedly datingÂ…

Kristin Cavalleri?
Yes. I owned a store called Tawny K. We were painting on a Sunday and I get this call from these four girls from Laguna. They’re begging me to please just let them see the store. So I did. When they start to leave, I get this feeling something’s wrong. My boyfriend stops one girl and she’s got merchandise in her purse. The three other girls start hauling ass. I call the cops and when the girls come back, they’ve got pants, underwear, tops. They take them to jail, handcuffed, the whole thing. I don’t press charges. Cut-fade, two weeks ago, there’s a split picture of Jessica on one side and this girl, Kristin, from Laguna Beach, on the other and my daughter is like, “Oh my God. She was the one who stole from your store.” And now she’s this big thing.

The ladies from "The View" shredded a copy of Time magazine yesterday after getting dissed by the issue's cover girls - controversial country music group, The Dixie Chicks.

"We are furious!" roared "View" moderator Meredith Vieira in the opening moments of the show, "Furious!"

In Time's cover story this week, Dixie Chick Emily Robison says that the group takes its political views very seriously and will try to limit appearances to high-caliber, meaningful gigs. Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines' "new motto is, 'What would Bruce Springsteen do?' " says Robison. "Not that we're of that caliber, but would Bruce Springsteen do 'The View'?"

Even with a new CD to promote, the group has no plans to appear on "The View," the article says. "They're . . . not doing . . . 'The View,' " sneered co-host Joy Behar as she tore the article into confetti and tossed the shreds over her head.

When the singing group was starting out, however, it had no problem appearing on the show and was even interviewed by former co-host Debbie Matenopolous. "This is obnoxious, obnoxious," said Vieira. "We started these girls - back in 1998, they couldn't get arrested. We were one of the first national shows to give them a platform, because they deserve a platform - they are incredibly talented performers."

"It's one thing to diss the Bush administration, it's treason to diss 'The View'!" said Behar. For the next hour, the four hosts of the women's coffee klatch show repeatedly slammed the Dixie Chicks until the show was over - when Vieira made it clear they were joking around and invited The Dixie Chicks to appear anytime.

--Hell hath no fury like the View women scorned.

Is there trouble in TomKat land?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reportedly got into a big fight — that ended with Holmes deciding to take baby Suri to Ohio to introduce the infant to family and friends. Tom, who is rumored to have a rocky relationship with Holmes’ parents, won’t be joining them, according to Life & Style Weekly.

“He told Katie he wasn’t going, considering the bad relations between him and her family,” an “insider” told the mag. “Katie was really happy he said that, because she’d been afraid to admit to him that she didn’t want him to go.”

The couple allegedly had a “huge argument” which ended with Katie declaring, “I’m doing this and you can’t stop me.” Her rep denies the story. Cruise reportedly decided to fly his fiancée and tot to Toledo, drop them off and fly back to pick them up.

The episode, however, may be giving Holmes second thoughts. A “confidant” of hers told the mag: “Katie’s very unhappy and beginning to realize she may have made a major mistake being with Tom.”

Even Paris Hilton was amazed after she collected $200,000 just for showing up at a charity event in Cannes on Saturday.

And FoxNews.com's Roger Friedman reports she was paid $1 million for a similar event in Vienna a few weeks ago. What does she have to do for the money? "All I had to do was wave, like this," she said, imitating Queen Elizabeth II's stately palm swivel.

Still, some party folks try to keep Paris out. She was not invited to the Vanity Fair party at Cannes' Hotel du Cap over the weekend.

The FBI searched the home Tuesday of a woman who runs an LA paparazzi agency. The allegation is that her computers were used to illegally hack into the computers of Us Weekly magazine to obtain information about celebrities, in particular Charlie Sheen.

Sources say the U.S. Attorney obtained the search warrant several days ago. Law enforcement went to the home of Jill Ishkanian, a partner at Sunset Photo and News, where they seized computers and other items. As of now, the official file is sealed. Ishkanian founded Sunset Photo and News last year after leaving Us Weekly, where she worked as a reporter.

In a related development, TMZ spoke with former Hollywood madame Heidi Fleiss, who says she was contacted by officials and accused of being involved in the alleged hacking plot. The reason? Sources say Fleiss and Ishkanian are close friends. Fleiss told TMZ the allegations against her are "ridiculous."

Ishkanian's lawyer, Glenn Feldman, contacted TMZ and says his client has been subpoenaed by Britney Spears' lawyers in her suit against Us Weekly. Spears claims that an article in Us Weekly alleging she made a sex tape with husband Kevin Federline was bogus. Feldman says he finds it "coincidental" that his client is suddenly being targeted. Feldman adds that Ishkanian "did not receive any information from Us Weekly by hacking into any computer, especially information about Charlie Sheen."

'Superman Returns' star Kevin Spacey almost quit making movies because he was sick of living in hotel rooms.

The Oscar-winning actor - who is currently artistic director at the Old Vic Theatre in London, England - says he is happier on stage than in front of a camera.

He told Britain's Observer newspaper: "I was beginning to feel I just didn't want to go through another ten years of living in hotels, making three or four movies a year. "I long for the ritual of theatre. I adore it. And I want to do plays that challenge me. The truth is that I come into this place every night, I love getting up on the stage and having an incredible company of actors to work with."

Spacey added: "My commitment here is for ten years. It will take five to establish myself and build up the audience who come and see the work. "I took six weeks out to shoot the new 'Superman' movie. That to me is the right balance. The movies are not my first priority - the theatre is."

--I think he's one of the finest actors on screen today, and ever for that matter. I'd put him up there with the Jimmy Stewarts, Tom Hankses, and DeNiros of the world. Guess I'll have to head to London if I want to see much of his acting.

--Cate BlanchettÂ’s next role is a bit out of character - not to mention out of gender. The actress will be one of six actors to portray singer/songwriter Bob Dylan in an upcoming biopic about him.

While at the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday to promote Babel, Blanchett confirmed that she would be playing a young Dylan in the biopic called I'm Not There. She will be sharing the part with Heath Ledger, Richard Gere, Ben Wishaw and Christian Bale.

The movie, which also stars Michelle Williams, Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg, will be directed by Todd Haynes, whose previous credits include Velvet Goldmine and Far From Heaven. Haynes said, "Bob Dylan was somebody who has rejected all of the various personas that he has embodied over the years. He continues to move forward by discarding himself, so my idea is to put together a film of multiple characters and tell their stories simultaneously."

Producers claim the movie will be a “ferocious musical romp” "evocation of Dylan's various persona, his public image and what he expresses in his songs." Shooting will begin in Montreal in July.

Geri Halliwell has gone a little bit less mainstream for the name of her new baby. Presenting...Bluebell Madonna Halliwell.

"Scarlett was another name I loved, as Scarlett O'Hara was my fictional heroine," Geri told Hello! magazine. "But as I walked round the park in the last few weeks of pregnancy, I seemed to see bluebells everywhere. "But what really clinched it for me was my mother telling me that the bluebell is increasingly rare - it's a precious flower, which seems just right for my daughter.

"There's a good reason I picked Madonna as a middle name, too. As she came out of my tummy, Bluebell had both arms flung wide in the air as if announcing to the world, 'Hi! I'm here!' "She was screaming her head off, as though she was shouting, 'Hello Wembley!' No one else has that name, apart from the Virgin Madonna and the singer, whom I love."

Talking about the Caesarean birth, Geri said: "Once they started going in for the baby, it felt like rooting around in a handbag. It's not painful but you can feel it. "I was sooo in love with her at once. I'd die for her."

A celebrity stockbroker, Hollywood dad and multimillionaire will remain behind bars in Sydney while his supporters raise $1 million for his bail.

Larry Richard Williams, father of actor Heath Ledger's Oscar-nominated fiancee Michelle Williams, is wanted in the United States for allegedly evading $1.5 million in tax between 1999 and 2001. The monies relate to proceeds from Williams' 10 books and his earnings from the international speaking circuit.

The two-time US Senate candidate and prolific sharemarket trader was arrested after arriving at Sydney airport on Saturday, ahead of a month-long speaking tour of Australia and New Zealand. Central Local Court magistrate Allan Moore today granted Williams $1 million strict conditional bail, so he could fulfil his Sydney speaking commitments from June 10-14.

Outside court, his lawyer Chris Watson said Williams would remain in jail until at least tomorrow while supporters worked to raise the steep surety, $500,000 of which must be provided up front. "It's a very difficult bail but hopefully he's got a lot of support and a lot of people believe in him," Mr Watson said. "I probably think we'll get him bail by tomorrow with any luck." Williams' bail money was largely tied up in assets, Mr Watson earlier told the court.

Offers to post bail had flooded in from strangers across the globe who were "prepared to put down their savings", he said.

Last week was a whirlwind for Lisa Welchel aka Blair from the The Facts of Life. Welchel–now a devout Christian, author and proponant of punishing kids with with hot sauce–joined the old gang including Mindy Cohn and Nancy McKean in New York City to promote the DVD release of the series. Well it’s been a while since the church-going Texan has been in the big city, and according to her blog, things have changed.

Like Radio: “One lady called in and said that “Jo” was her first crush. Then another caller and asked if “Jo” and “Blair” grew up and ended up living together in a house full of cats…A few more callers later and it suddenly dawned on me why this show was called “OutQ 106.” (It was a gay radio station.)”

And TV: “To be honest, I had been very disappointed the day before because, although, every place had been given a copy of the book, nobody mentioned it. I figured that God didn’t really need me to promote my book. If He wanted people to know about it then He is certainly capable of whispering into the right people’s ears.”

And Fine Dining: “Now, it was time for dinner at another fabulous restaurant, Café De Artiste. I decided to try something different so I ordered Wiener Schnitzel. I was surprised when it was served to me and it was flat like a pancake. I thought it would be more sausage-like.”

--Where was Tootie?

On-again, off-again couple Nicole Richie and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein are off again.

"We are confirming that we have amicably separated," the pair said in a statement released by Richie's publicist, Cindy Guagenti.

Richie, 24, and Goldstein, 33, began dating in 2004 and announced their engagement a year later in February 2005. But in early December, Richie's rep confirmed that the wedding was off. But by March of this year, the pair were an item again, holding hands all over Los Angeles and even vacationing together at the Las Ventanas resort in Los Cabos, Mexico.

"They decided to try again," a friend said at the time. "They never stopped caring about each other." Although Richie hadn't put her engagement ring back on, the friend said, "they really are so happy together. ... It was only a matter of time before they got back together." Richie even threw Goldstein a surprise 33rd birthday party at Pure Nightclub in Las Vegas recently, where she toasted him by saying, "This is (Adam's) eighth year of sobriety. I'm so proud of you. You've come so far and I love you so much."

On Wednesday, Goldstein was in New York City to DJ at the Entertainment Weekly Upfronts Party in New York. Said an observer: "He was keeping to himself at the party Â… but he was working. He didn't look particularly happy, but he could have just been concentrating."

Richie, meanwhile, is said to be at home in L.A. gearing up for a press tour promoting the new season of The Simple Life and working on her first album and a follow-up to her novel The Truth About Diamonds.

The final secret of "The Da Vinci Code" - the mystery of Tom Hanks' long, college-professor hair - may be out.

Top dermatologists believe the two-time Oscar-winner , whose hairline has headed north in recent years, popped the hair-growth drug Propecia to get his locks back. "The drug gives new hair the look Hanks is now sporting," said one expert. "I haven't a clue," the actor's flack, Leslee Dart, responded.

But Hanks did cryptically reveal to Entertainment Weekly that he'd worked with a "hair chemical expert."

Rebecca Romijn has told how she loves X-rated sex - and gets turned on by playing a dominatrix.

The 'X-Men' beauty - who plays mutant Mystique in the sci-fi series - also says she's happiest when she's stark naked.

She is quoted in Britain's News of the World newspaper as saying: "I love to be nude and I love sex. "Being a dominatrix in the bedroom, sex in cars and in public places all turn me on. And I love fantasising about being naked on an island with lots of other naked people."

The actress, who is engaged to 'Sliders' star Jerry O'Connell - also revealed her biggest turn-on is having her ears kissed. She said: "Having them kissed turns me on like nothing else. They're easily my most erogenous zone."

An elderly man on an American Airlines flight was restrained by passengers, including television's "Dr. 90210," after he got out of his seat and shoved a flight attendant late Monday, officials said.

The jetliner landed safely in Los Angeles and police took the 80-year-old man, who did not speak English, to a hospital for a 72-hour mental observation, airport spokeswoman Nancy Castles said. "He evidently started to panic about 15 minutes before landing, when everyone is supposed to be buckled into seats," Castles said.

None of the five crew members or 122 passengers aboard the MD-80 plane from Austin, Texas, reported injuries, American Airlines spokesman Billy Sanez said. The man hopped out of his seat in coach and marched into first class, Sanez said.

Dr. Robert Rey, a plastic surgeon who practices martial arts, told The Associated Press he got out of his seat and intervened when he heard the man make a "big noise" as he pushed a female flight attendant toward the cockpit. "When you get a black belt, at that stage your brain just clicks into action," the doctor said. "I restrained this gentleman in a very aggressive way without hurting him."

Joan Cusack will portray cooking legend Julia Child in a new film.

The gourmet was famous for introducing French cuisine and cooking techniques to mainstream America through her many cookbooks and TV shows. She died in August 2004, just two days short of her 92nd birthday.

Cusack says, "Many people don't know all about the real Julia Child. She had this great marriage." The star admits her own cooking skills are less than impressive, adding, "Actually, Julia didn't start cooking until she was 37. I love that about her! It's never too late. Even for me!"

HereÂ’s to the cocktail!

May marks the 200th anniversary of the mixed drink, or at least the first published definition of the mixed drink. And though martinis and cosmos can be found in bars from London to Tokyo, it turns out the cocktail is as American as apple pie.

“They’re made in America,” said Phil Greene, a board member of the Museum of the American Cocktail. “We did something that the Europeans had never done before: We started mixing ingredients because our own heritage is sort of mixed.”

Cocktail aficionados gathered on May 13 in New York and Las Vegas to toast the bicentennial of the mixed drink and swap tales and recipes from its history.

--Cheers!
