Watch out For the Pot Brownies

--The question on everyone's mind at the Operation Smile benefit the other night was: Where is Jessica Simpson? The singer has been a huge supporter of the cause for 10 years but stopped after her well-publi cized trip to Africa for the charity last year, and her split from hubby Nick Lachey. "She's turned her back on them," the spy said. "She got a lot of good publicity from the charity but re fused to let pictures of her be in the commemorative book and hasn't done anything with them in a year." A rep for Simpson said she was in Germany being honored at the UNESCO Gala to Benefit Children in Need, "partly for her work with Operation Smile. Jess was one of four honorees for her philanthropic work. She sang two songs, and the event raised about $3 million to build schools all over the world."

--David Hasselhoff has been treated in hospital for alcohol poisoning 12 to 13 times, according to his ex-wife Pamela Bach. Bach's revelations follow the release of a video of the former Baywatch star earlier this month, struggling to eat a hamburger while drunk and hurling expletives at his teenage daughter, who was filming him. She tells Us Weekly, "He has been to the emergency room at least 12 to 13 times at Cedars-Sinai (Los Angeles hospital) - under aliases - for alcohol poisoning. He's been through three rehabs - in 2001, 2002, and 2004." But Hasselhoff's lawyer Melvin Goldsman denies both claims. The couple were married for 16 years before divorcing in July 2006 because of Hasselhoff's problems with alcohol.

--Rumors are circulating that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen may be the next Bond girls. Apparently one of the producers is taken with the skeletal pair and is offering them roles in the 22nd installment of the 007 franchise. The deal is also being sweetened for the girls with the promise of no nudity or sex scenes. Although, weÂ’d rather see Daniel Craig tongue-kiss slated villain Goran Visnjic (from ER) than romp with those two ghouls. (Oh, this would be a TERRIBLE decision...)

--An Andy Warhol painting sold for more than $71 million, more than quadrupling the previous top auction price for the pop artist's work, an auction house said. The Wednesday auction of postwar and contemporary art took in a total of nearly $385 million, making it the second most lucrative art auction ever held, according to Christie's. The auction was to continue Thursday. Warhol's painting "Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I)," went for $71.7 million to an anonymous buyer. The previous auction record for a Warhol work was $17.4 million, set when "Mao" sold at Christie's in November, the auction house said.

--Brit Brit got rid of her wig and her some new extensions. Tacktastic!

--Robert De Niro and Al Pacino will team onscreen for just the second timein "Righteous Kill," a $60 million indie production put together by Nu Image's Millennium Films and Emmett/Furla Films. The two stars play cops chasing a serial killer. "This is an event in world history," he said. "They were in two scenes in 'Heat.' In this movie, they are in the whole thing together." Both thesps starred in "The Godfather: Part II" but had no scenes together.

--An AI conspiracy theory?

--The Office star Jenna Fischer has fractured her back in four places after falling down a set of stairs in a New York bar on Tuesday. The actress was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan after the fall at Buddakan. Her representative tells the New York Daily News, "She avoided anything scary near the spine and she'll make a full recovery in time to shoot season four of The Office this summer." (What did you guys think of last night's show?)

--Passions goes Brokeback.

--Anne Heche's divorce fight escalated Thursday with her estranged husband calling her a poor parent with "bizarre and delusional behavior." Heche says her ex "resorted to lies" to get more money from her. Coley Laffoon, 33, who filed for divorce in February after a five-year marriage, is seeking at least $33,000 a month in support and primary custody of their 5-year-old son, Homer, according to a Los Angeles Superior Court filing. "Clearly, [Heche's] anger toward me has clouded her ability to think rationally about what is in Homer's best interest," says Laffoon's papers, filed May 2 but released on Thursday. Heche, 37, countered by releasing a statement saying Laffoon has "resorted to lies with the court because Anne would not cave in to his astronomical money demands" Â– including what Heche said was actually $45,000 in monthly support.

--A very brave maitre d' bounced Ice T and Coco from a bottle-service table at Maxim's Hot 100 party at Ono in the Gansevoort Hotel to make room for Hilary and Hayley Duff Wednesday night. "Coco was p - - - ed," our sources report. Also braving the huge line snaking around the hotel were Lindsay Lohan and Calum Best, Jay-Z, Avril Lavigne, Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell, Megan Fox, and Richie Rich and Amanda Lepore. The Gansevoort is where Maxim is launching its first in a chain of Maxim Prime steakhouses with Jeffrey Chodorow. (For Hilary and Hayley? OUCH.)

--Two of U2's tunes are in the running to be the campaign song for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign. 'Beautiful Day' and 'City Of Blinding Lights' are two of nine songs in the running to soundtrack Clinton's 2008 race for the presidency. KT Tunstall's 'Suddenly I See' and early 90's indie stars Jesus Jones' 'Right Here, Right Now' are also contenders. The former first lady has launched a contest on Hillaryclinton.com asking people to vote on which song she should use.

Her list of songs are:
U2 - 'City Of Blinding Lights'
U2 - 'Beautiful Day'
KT Tunstall - 'Suddenly I See'
Smash Mouth - 'I'm A Believer'
The Temptations - 'Get Ready'
Dixie Chicks - 'Ready To Run'
Shania Twain - 'Rock This Country!'
Jesus Jones - 'Right Here, Right Now'
The Staple Singers - 'I'll Take You There'

(What? No "Dude Looks Like a Lady" by Aerosmith or "Bitch" by Meredith Brooks? I'm shocked).

--This is one of the funniest 911 calls I've ever heard. Still laughing...oh, and listen to the anchor snort while laughing at the end.

Random Thought of the Day:
How annoying are those Yaz commercials? If I was out with girlfriends at a bar, and one of them spouted off a 5 minute schtick about how Yaz is great but might give me a rash, or how I shouldn't use it if I have kidney, liver, or adrenal failure, etc., I'd slap her. Hard.

3 As a campaign song, Clinton should use "I touch myself" by K's Choice. Similar to the pot brownie cop story, I know a guy who made pot brownies which his clueless cleaning lady proceded to eat. Apparently, she ended up calling him for help because she thought she was having a health emergency. "Um, no emergency, you're fine, you're just f-ing high as a kite."
