--U.S. rap stars Sean "Diddy" Combs and Snoop Dogg, who were bitter rivals in a notorious feud between East and West Coast hip-hop in the 1990s, said on Friday they had buried the hatchet once and for all. At a news conference in Helsinki to launch a joint European tour, they said they had "moved on" from the days when members of the two music scenes clashed rather than collaborated. (Oh thank God! The hip-hop peace tour has arrived. Iraq will be saved! )

--The Aspen Ski Patrol had to come to the rescue of three Hollywood actors when they got lost in the snow and fog and ended up out of bounds. Rob Morrow, Chad Lowe and Fisher Stevens all were guided down the mountain to safety Saturday. Morrow, former star of "Northern Exposure," said they are all good skiers but they didn't know the mountain. They ended up with another group of lost skiers, who had called for help on their cell phone. All were in an area closed to skiing. The patrollers decided to lead the pack to the bottom of the mountain, a three-hour trip through heavy snow, streams, and thick forest. (I wonder if they forked over the cash that was needed to fund that rescue so the taxpayers didn't have to pay for their stupidity. Doubtful...)

-- Richard Jeni, a standup comedian who played to sold-out crowds, was a regular on the "Tonight Show" and appeared in movies, died of a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide, police said Sunday. Police found the 49-year-old comedian alive but gravely injured in a West Hollywood home when they responded to a call Saturday morning from Jeni's girlfriend, Los Angeles Police Officer Norma Eisenman said. Eisenman said the caller told police: "My boyfriend shot himself in the face." Jeni died at a nearby hospital.

--Maggie Gyllenhaal is in final talks to replace Katie Holmes in the Batman Begins sequel. The new mom became an instant favorite to take on the Rachel Dawes character in The Dark Knight after Holmes quit the role shortly after becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise. Director Christopher Nolan tells The Hollywood Reporter, "I'm extremely excited to work with an actress of Maggie's caliber, and she's a great addition to the cast." Cameras will role on the film, which stars Christian Bale as the comic book hero, this spring. The film will be released in 2008.

--Former Melrose Place costars Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner have been spotted together multiple times – even holding hands – but pals say the two aren't starting a Hollywood romance. (Hope it's true. He's so much better looking than David Spade!)

--Having already proven that it can sell other companies' music, coffee giant Starbucks is planning to launch its own record label and is close to a deal for the next album from former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney to be its first release, according to sources familiar with the plans. The formation of Starbucks Records, as the unit is expected to be called, could be announced as soon as this week, according to these sources.

--Add Jimmy Kimmel to the list of people who really can't stand eyeliner-loving Jared Leto. The late-night show host told Stuff magazine he'd rather not welcome Leto back as a guest. When asked if Kimmel ever had to hide his disdain for a guest, he chose the actor/rocker. "He was so insufferably satisfied with himself that I wanted to strangle him," said Kimmel.

--Cameron Diaz, was spotted getting cozy with actor-singer Tyrese at the Xenii after-hours party (which changes locales every week) in Los Angeles. The pair engaged in a full-on PDA display at their reserved table, kissing and holding hands.

--DJ AM is once again without a starlet by his side. Friends of Mandy Moore said the singer/actress has kicked the DJ to the curb and is single again. AM, real name Adam Goldstein, used to date Nicole Richie, and after they broke up, told friends he needed to date another high-profile person because his ratings were plummeting. (Way to go, Mandy! I say she should go after Adam Brody!)

--Double the good news for Salma Hayek: The actress is engaged to businessman boyfriend François-Henri Pinault – and she's pregnant. (Who ever thought THAT guy would end up w/ Salma Hayek?.)

--Before sending Kristin Cavallari off to Miami for a wild spring break, her boyfriend Nick Zano - who was left behind in New Orleans, where he's filming "College" - branded his girl. "He wants the other guys who flirt with Kristin to know she's all his," said an insider, who got a peek at the "Laguna Beach" girl's new wrist tattoo during a Victoria's Secret Pink event on the beach. A spy said the body art displays his initials, "NZ," in black ink. When asked about it, Cavallari "got really giggly and started blushing." (Dumbass).

Random Thought of the Day:
I hadn't seen Vanilla Sky, and it was on this weekend, so I thought I'd watch. All I have to say is, WTF? I consider myself pretty avant garde when it comes to art and movies. I like offbeat, I like symbolism, but weird just to be weird? No thanks. Cameron Diaz now officially scares me. I file this right next to the Hollywood crap that was weird just to be weird, Magnolia.

1 Is it just chance that Tom Cruise was in both of those movies? I think not... he just brought his weirdness with him!

2 Pinault's family is worth over 7 billion. That kind of coin can make a barely average guy seem really "hot", I guess.

4 I thought Vanilla Sky was pretty cool ... but then again, seeing a movie like that in a theatre tends to skew your perception a bit. I'm sure if I watched it again on a smaller screen I'd think, WTF, too. I must say, though, I'm sure network tv totally ruined it - there are some great scenes with Diaz and Penelope that ... well, let's just say they can't show on tv.

5 I liked Vanilla Sky when I saw it in the theater. The thing that really put people off was that it is a science fiction film, but not advertised as such because that would make the twist less of a twist.

6 I didn't know Jack and Kris had broken up! I always thought they were a cute couple, even though she could be so annoying on GH..... Okay, I think I just told way too much about myself right there. )
