Save Paris!

--Brittany Murphy has tied the knot with Simon Monjack, the British writer and director of her latest project. "They were married at their home in Los Angeles several weeks ago in a very intimate ceremony," Murphy's rep said. "It was officiated by a rabbi and they were surrounded by their families." After the wedding they then headed to Louisville for last weekend's Kentucky Derby.

--Paris Hilton is calling on her fans to help her stay out of jail - by endorsing an online petition they can sign. The desperate socialite, who was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail last week after violating terms of her 2006 drink-driving arrest, has teamed up with a pal called Joshua to urge fans to help her. In a post on her MySpace blog, Hilton, who is also asking California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her, writes, "My friend Joshua started this petition. Please help and sign it. I love you all!" The petition, which is addressed to Schwarzenegger, claims "the American public who support Paris are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that drunk driving is wrong. She provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives. If the late former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well." Hilton is due to start serving time by June 5 if her appeal fails, after being sentenced at a hearing at Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. (ARE YOU KIDDING ME?)

--George Michael is headed for the slammer. The pervy pop has-been - once infamously busted for a lewd act in a Beverly Hills men's room - yesterday pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs after being found slumped over his steering wheel at a traffic light last October. "I am perfectly aware that I did something very wrong . . . and I'm perfectly prepared to accept the correct punishment," the former Wham! star told a court in North London. He'll be sentenced May 30.

--Rosie O'Donnell is dying for a game show. The departing buccaneer of "The View" is said to have her eye on "The Price Is Right." Word is that "Price" producers aren't in love with any of the current host contenders - George Hamilton, Mark Steines, Todd Newton and Mario Lopez have been mentioned - but retiring host Bob Barker "is adamant that Rosie not get the gig," according to a source. (A.C. Slater hosting "The Price is Right?" Oh, that's just hysterical...)

--What the hell has happened to Cate Blanchett?

--Mike Myers, creator of the Austin Powers film franchise, told SCI FI Wire that he definitely wants to make another movie and will get to it after he finishes his next project, called The Love Guru. And it might focus on Austin's nemesis, Doctor Evil. "I have figured out that the story will be taken from the point of Doctor Evil," Myers said in an interview while promoting Shrek the Third. "It will be powered from Doctor Evil's point of view." Myers added: "That will be the first of a trilogy. ... I'm just joking! ... I haven't figured it all out. Who knows?" (Come on. This is over. No more Austin).

--Tori Amos has announced she is writing a musical. The singer says that she is embarking on the project which is set for the West End and Broadway when it is completed. "I think I am writing a musical. I'm gushing but I'm under lock and key," she explained. "I'm trying to be Lloyd Webber and Rice. I'm trying to be both (of them). I'm busy. This is such a big project - a double record, 23 songs and the extras."

--The owner of an upscale steakhouse in Louisville said he asked O.J. Simpson to leave his restaurant the night before the Kentucky Derby because he is sickened by the attention Simpson still attracts. "I didn't want to serve him because of my convictions of what he's done to those families," Jeff Ruby said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "The way he continues to torture the lives of those families ... with his behavior, attitude and conduct." Ruby - who owns restaurants in Cincinnati, Louisville and Belterra, Ind. - said Simpson, who was in town for the Derby on Saturday, came in with a group of about 12 Friday night and was seated at a table in the back. A customer came up to Ruby and was "giddy" about seeing Simpson, Ruby said. "I didn't want that experience in my restaurant," Ruby said, later adding that seeing Simpson get so much attention "makes me sick to my stomach." He said he went to Simpson's table and said, "I'm not serving you." Ruby said when Simpson didn't respond, he repeated himself and left the room. Ruby said Simpson soon came up to him and said he understood and would gather the rest of his party to leave. Simpson's attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license. (And we wonder why the world hates attorneys).

--Sanjaya and New York? (That's just a whole lotta "ewwww")

--Oh, Cameron. You're usually a fashion trainwreck, but this is even worse than normal. It looks like an acid-washed singlet. I mean, where in Vogue did you read that braided mom denim was in?

Random Thought of the Day:
I hate personalized license plates. Hate.Them. I'm ok w/ specialty plates--saving kids, whales, whatever, loving you some Jesus, or, showing love for your university. But, thinking you are cute w/ the clever way you fit letters and numbers around to say something? It's just annoying. I've had some people say to me, "well, I just have my name on there." WHY? Why do you need to announce it? "I'm BOB and here I come in my Ford Escort!" Come on. And Mr. IP LAW out there? Well, you should have yours changed to "D-BAG."

2 -Paris has fans? I don't think so. What she has is a group of people who can't look away from a trainwreck. If I were Schwarzenegger, I'd give her MORE time. -I'd like to think Cate is starving herself to play a part but if that were the case, I doubt she'd be "showing-off" her bones. -Great. A military officer chose a chick who can't hold her liquor or her tongue. Nice goin' there L.T. -I wouldn't serve Simpson either but I'd make damn sure he knew the reason.

3 I'm sending Tom Henry a link to your page! You do realize that's his little "IP LAW" Porsche, right?

4 Wow.....you really have strong feelings about license plates. I, on the other hand, have strong feelings about Tori Amos thinking she can use her name in the same sentence as Andrew Lloyd Webber.
