--How much weight do consent forms really carry? Borat may find out...

--David Blaine will spend two days in a spinning gyroscope before attempting to escape from shackles in his latest public stunt. The illusionist revealed his new plans for the New York stunt, which begins later this month, at a press conference on Friday. The 33-year-old will be locked spread eagle into a gyroscope before being dangled 50 feet above Times Square in New York. Blaine will be spun up to eight times every minute for two days, after which he will begin his attempt to escape. Adding more difficulty to the stunt, the 'open' gyroscope will leave Blaine exposed to the harsh New York winter. He says, "Just to make it more difficult on myself, I added a motor (to the gyroscope), so even when I'm sleeping there'll be continuous movement... I think I'm going to have to stay awake the whole time. This one's exciting for me. This one's a fun one." The charity stunt will benefit The Salvation Army.

--Because couch-jumping isn't enough, the TomKat wedding ended with a neverending kiss that caused some attendees to shout, "Stop!"

--Actress Ellen Barkin made her feelings for ex-husband Ron Perelman clear last week when she drenched the billionaire with a glass of chilled water in a restaurant. The pair, who haven't met since their split in January, were both dining at the same New York restaurant when Perelman approached Barkin's table. Sources tell PageSix.com the actress believed her ex was leaning in for a kiss when she threw the full glass over him, but Perelman maintains he was merely passing her table en route to the bathroom. His spokeswoman says, "It is pitiful that Ms. Barkin has fabricated a reason to justify an unprovoked assault on him." Last month, Barkin auctioned all the jewelry her former husband gave her during their six-year marriage for $20.3 million.

--Pete Doherty was arrested for crack cocaine possession. (Is this guy ever going to get jail time?)

--Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes spent $2.5 million on their Italian wedding circus, but the official ceremony took place right in the U.S. of A. TomKat's rep confirms that the couple actually tied the knot earlier last week in L.A.

--Don't expect stylist to the stars Rachel Zoe to be invited back to a Tom Ford party. The former Gucci guru held an exclusive dinner Thursday night in L.A. at Wolfgang Puck's new restaurant Cut at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel for his new fragrance "Black Orchid," where a who's who of Hollywood showed up. As the guests - including David Geffen, Darren Star, John Goldwyn, Jeff Klein, John Demsey, Adrien Brody and Anjelica Huston - took their places, Ford was said to be noticeably irked when he saw Zoe's chair empty. "It was rude. She came for drinks and left, even though it was a small, seated dinner. She went to another party, then came back for dessert to make it look like she had been there all along," said one spy. "It's just not done. So tacky." Perhaps she was just trying to get away from the perfume - which Ford told the Estée Lauder folks he wanted to "smell like a man's crotch."

--During his vows, Tom Cruise may have promised to provide Katie Holmes with "a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat." The couple are expected to choose from five versions of the Scientology wedding ceremony, ranging from the Traditional to the Double Ring. Each includes traditional vows and lasts between 20 minutes to one hour. In the old-fashioned language that marks the Traditional version, the groom is reminded that "girls" need "clothes and food and tender happiness and frills, a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat" -- and is asked to provide them all. The bride, in turn, is told that "young men are free and may forget" their promises. In the Double Ring ceremony, the ring is a symbol of permanency and reaffirms the Scientology principles of affinity, reality and communication.

--Some of the guests' outfits at the TomKat affair:



(Brooke looks fantastic, Marc Anthony looks dirty, and I don't know which is worse, Posh's hat, or what she's doing to her poor boobs in that dress!)
