--Nicole Richie is seeking treatment for what her rep describes as an inability to put on weight. "Nicole Richie has decided to undergo diagnostic treatment to determine why she's not been putting on any weight," her rep said. "She is working with a team of doctors and specialists whose focus is nutrition. It is important to Nicole that she achieves this goal in a healthy way as this is not a treatment for an eating disorder."

--Model Naomi Campbell returned to a police station Thursday after allegedly being involved in an altercation with a woman the day before, reports said. British TV network Sky News and The Sun of London reported that Campbell attacked her "drug counselor" on Wednesday. The woman showed signs of being "scratched all over the face," The Sun said. (What the hell is wrong with her?)

--Rapper The Game found his long-lost sister via Myspace.

--Brad Pitt found an interesting way - make that walk - to blow off steam and bring some levity to the set of his new movie, "Babel." In an interview, the 42-year-old actor says he amused himself and his colleagues by yanking up his pants to give himself a wedgie, sticking out his rear and waddling about like a duck. "Throughout the movie, I'd walk around like this," he says. "You've gotta find things to make you laugh during the shoot," he adds. "Cate (Blanchett) called it the Hungry Bum." He explains: "When your bum's so hungry it's trying to eat your pants." (I bet he thrives to opportunities to joke around. Something tells me Angelina isn't much of a jokester.)

--"If I hang out with a British person for an hour or so, I start talking just like them. I can pick up accents pretty well."--Lindsay "I'm so talented" Lohan

--The drunken steroid-induced Rage machine known as Danny Bonaduce crashed on to the set of 'The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson' today to pimp his guest-starring role on 'CSI' and the second season of 'Breaking Bonaduce.'

--Singer/actress Ashlee Simpson is the new international face of footwear firm Skechers. The 22-year-old is currently starring in Chicago on the London stage and enjoys wearing the casual shoes when she finishes performing. She says, "My feet really take a pounding every time I perform in the show so it's a relief to get into my comfortable sneakers at the end of the night." "I grew up wearing Skechers and hope to add a few more pairs to my wardrobe."

--"I used to be embarrassed to go to the store and buy tampons, but that's all past tense. Once you make it through that, you're good." --Kevin Federline (What a guy. Rapper, tampon buyer, baby maker...where can I find me a fine man like that?)

--Katie Couric wasn't worth the investment.

--Keith Olbermann is very close to his day of reckoning for a one-night stand. The 30-something Cuban lass who says the MSNBC loudmouth courted her, bedded her, then told her to get lost, says she's about to release the 100 or so more e- mails she claims he sent her before their night of unsatisfying sex in a Manhattan hotel. The woman, who calls herself KarmaBites and launched a blog to warn others about his boorish bedroom habits, says of the outspoken Olbermann's refusal to say a single word about her story: "Do you actually believe KO wouldn't deny my story publicly if it weren't true?" And she believes Olbermann is getting heat from his new girlfriend, Katy Tur. "Methinks he's feeling the pressure of the new squeeze to deny this publicly, but sadly for him he can't," KarmaBites says. "I guess my only alternative is to publish the e-mails . . . I'm tempted to re lease the e-mails just to see what excuses they come up with." She also says the more criticism she gets from Olbermann's fans, "the closer I get to going full-throttle and publishing all of the dirt. You're KO's worst enemy. I hope you can live with it."

--For the love of God, Kate, cut that boy's hair!
