--While Paris Hilton was sneaking into prison in Los Angeles in the wee hours of Monday morning, her younger brother, Barron, was getting mugged at knifepoint near Penn Station. Barron, who is tall and blond and believed to be 18, had shown up earlier at Stereo on West 29th Street with three male friends and two girls. "They were all underage and they hung around for a while trying to get in the club," said an eyewitness. "They were waiting outside Stereo. Eventually they all left together at around 4 a.m. "An hour later, two security guards from Stereo were driving by Penn Station on their way home and they saw Barron and his friends. Then they saw two muggers confronting the group, and they all got out. One had a knife and was trying to get money out of the kids. "One guy had Barron at knifepoint, and the guards got out and chased away the guy with the knife. The attackers didn't get any money," said the witness. "Eventually Barron and his friends all piled into a cab." The insider added that the guards recognized Barron because "he tries to get into Stereo all the time."

--Tom Sizemore surrendered Tuesday to face a hearing on whether he violated probation with his recent arrest for drug possession. Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis later ordered the "Saving Private Ryan" actor held without bail pending a June 19 hearing, said Jane Robison, a spokeswoman for the district attorney's office. Sizemore, 45, had arrived at a county courthouse in a convertible and was greeted by reporters. When asked how he was doing, he replied: "I'm OK. Sizemore was arrested last month at a Bakersfield hotel. Authorities said they found methamphetamines in his car. He was released but a Los Angeles judge later issued a warrant for his arrest for violating probation in another methamphetamine case. If convicted, he could be forced to serve out a 16-month prison sentence.

--Can McPheever spread from TV to the big screen? Katharine McPhee will make her feature film debut in the indie romantic comedy "The Last Caller." According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Last Caller" is budgeted between $5-and-$8 million with a production start this fall in and around New York. Michael Albanese wrote the project, which focuses on a self-obsessed woman (McPhee) looking for "love, hope and meaning" in the big city. McPhee's role won't involve any singing, she tells the trade. (Did Idol contestants learn nothing from "From Justin to Kelly?")

--When ex-wife Demi Moore started carrying on with younger man Ashton Kutcher, Bruce Willis was seeing red. But Will Smith talked him out of his jealous rage, Willis tells Playboy. "During some very dark hours he talked to me about it. He said, 'Dude, you've got to do whatever it takes to get the kids and all the spouses or the girlfriend together. You've got to show your kids it's OK.' It was like a light went on. Ding. So Will, thanks. And thanks for all those good movies you're making." (I love Will. That's one seemingly awesome Hollywood marriage)

--Christina Aguilera and her hubby look like they're going to a fraternity luau. Remind me again how a guy like that bags someone like her? (And, don't tell me it's love. A great, sweet personality can make an average/cute guy hot in a girl's eyes, but there ain't enough love in the world to make him anything close to attractive).

Random Thought of the Day:
Most over-the-top obnoxious people annoy the hell out of me: Nancy Grace, Carrot Top, that Tony Little workout freak with the ponytail, and the list goes on. However, I have major love in my heart for two people that most would deem utterly obnoxious: Dr. Phil and Kathy Griffin. I love it when Dr. Phil sticks it to the dysfunctional people he has on his show. And, I just love Kathy's perpetual making fun of Hollywood starlets. I think her show is hilarious! ("My Life on the D-List"). Ok, so her face is way too drawn from all her plastic surgery, but I try to look past that. And, I despise the commercials Dr. Phil does for Match.com, but again, minor professional mistake on his part. Anyway, just needed to get that off my chest! Ha.
