--Shock jock Don Imus reportedly plans to sue CBS Radio in an effort to collect the $40 million balance left on his contract, according to Fortune.com. Imus was fired by CBS on April 12 after making racially insensitive remarks about the Rutgers University womenÂ’s basketball team. According to Fortune.com, Imus has hired Martin Garbus, a New York-based First Amendment attorney. The report says that ImusÂ’ five-year contract, which was signed in 2006, paid him $10 million per year. A source told Fortune.com that ImusÂ’ lawsuit will be based on language in the contract that encouraged the radio host to be confrontational and irreverent on the air. The source said ImusÂ’ contract stipulates that the host must receive a warning before being fired.

--Neve Campbell will marry British actor John Light at a secret location in Los Angeles this Saturday. The Party Of Five star has been dating the Royal Shakespeare Company actor since 2005, after they met while filming movie Investigating Sex. The couple have been living in London for two years, but will marry in an intimate ceremony at a secret Malibu location - where Campbell is filming TV show Medium - according to PageSix.com. Close family and friends have been told to not reveal the location and time.

--Tom Poston, the tall, pasty-faced comic who found fame and fortune playing a clueless everyman on such hit television shows as Newhart and Mork and Mindy, has died. He was 85. Poston, who was married to Suzanne Pleshette of The Bob Newhart Show, died Monday night at home after a brief illness, a family representative, Tanner Gibson, said Tuesday. The nature of his illness was not disclosed.

--Crash star Jennifer Esposito's four-month marriage to Wedding Crashers actor Bradley Cooper is over, according to reports. The sexy actress has reportedly filed for divorce in Los Angeles County Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences" for the split. The couple wed in secret at the end of December after an 18-month courtship. A spokesman for the actress says, "Jennifer asks that you respect her privacy at this time." Cooper's representative tells Tmz.com the couple have been separated for "quite a while." (That certainly didn't last long. Wonder if he's like his character, Zach.)

--Melanie Brown, who welcomed her second daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, last month, says she's taking ex-boyfriend Eddie Murphy to court to force him to take a paternity test. "He's not doing a DNA test and he's not signing the birth certificate," Brown said Tuesday at a party for the U.S. launch of the BOOTS beauty brand in Hollywood. "So it's going to have to go to court so he can be forced to do it, which is strange since he was the one asking for it."

--"I don't think there has been a role for an actress like this movie was for me in so long. At first I was like, 'I can't do this, I'm getting my legs cut off. I don't want to look like that in scenes, I want to look decent.' But that was just me being young and stupid. And I have my first sex scene in it, which I always said I wouldn't do. I wanted to do this movie so people can see that I'm a f**king actress and I've been doing it forever and it's about time people see that. It felt so good to really act. I just pray people won't rip me apart for it, and be negative. The thing with the press, and why they need to leave me the f**k alone for a little bit, is because I don't want that distracting from my work. I want to get a nomination. I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being the 'party girl'. I hate that. I bust my ass when I'm filming and when I have time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance." --Lindsay Lohan

--What happened to Kirsten Dunst's feet? (Nast...)

--Though many a D-lister has become "famous" for befriending Paris Hilton, the heiress' new fling, "Desperate Housewives" actor Josh Henderson , isn't one of them. "Everyone in Los Angeles is just calling him 'Paris Boy,' " said a Page Six source. "No one really knows his name, but he walks around acting like he's God's gift." Surely if the twosome are snapped after going on a few more dinner dates, he'll become a household name.

--After a long-term relationship with New York and flings with Miami and Los Angeles, the MTV Video Music Awards are dancing with lady Vegas this year. The 2007 MTV Video Music Awards will air live from the Palms Casino Resort on September 9, it was announced on Wednesday (May 2).

--Lindsay Lohan just can't seem to stop partying - and, unluckily for her, word on the street is that someone may have recorded her revelry with a cellphone video camera. Sources won't yet divulge what Lohan was allegedly caught doing, but if true, it won't sit well with her younger fans. Apparently, all the naughtiness went down last week at a party at a private house in Beverly Hills that was also attended by her frenemy Paris Hilton, shipping heir Stavros Niarchos and Ryan Seacrest. At one point, the party was disrupted by a huge rat that ran into several rooms, causing revelers to scream, drop their drinks and run, until Niarchos kicked the rodent out onto a balcony. (A rat? Thank God for Stavros's quick thinking! Ha.)

--Do you think they sit around and talk about how awesome they are?

Random Thought of the Day:
