--Denise Richards and Richie Sambora broke up about two months ago, her rep confirms. Although they were no longer a couple, last month they attended the funeral in New Jersey for Sambora's father, who died of lung cancer on April 21. "Denise ended things but wanted to be there for him as a friend," a source close to Richards said. A Sambora source calls the split "amicable." (Surprised no one picked up on that until now...)

--Marilyn Manson made sure his girlfriend Evan Rachel Wood became the highest paid actress in music video history for her sex scenes with him in new promo "Heart-Shaped Glasses." Manson, who split from his wife Dita Von Teese last December, reportedly as a result of his relationship with Wood, was determined the 19-year-old should be properly compensated for her raunchy appearance. The first two minutes of the "Heart-Shaped Glasses" video feature Manson and Wood writhing around naked, having passionate sex - with many believing the couple actually made love for the cameras. Manson tells MTV News, "I did insist that Evan be paid the most that any actress has ever been paid in music-video history to be in this, even though she wouldn't have asked for it. There's no one else that could've been in it, because it was inspired by her." (Have you guys seen this yet? It's so disturbing! Even for Manson! The video is on YouTube if you want to watch).

--The Tony Award nominations came out yesterday. Click here for a complete list. Heavily nominated shows include Spring Awakenings and The Coast of Utopia. (Even if you aren't a Broadway junkie like I am, you'll still recognize a lot of names).

--Cameron Diaz was left a little red faced on TV yesterday when her loose-fitting top slipped down and left her right breast exposed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Quick-thinking cameramen shot Diaz from the side until show host Ellen DeGeneres alerted her guest to the wardrobe malfunction. The actress, dressed in a beige suit, laughed off the gaffe after DeGeneres said, "They're asking you to pull up your shirt." Diaz said, "Excuse moi. Thank you. I went through so many foolproofs on this too - 'It ain't gonna fall out, I promise.' I hate double-stick tape; you can always see double-stick tape." Comedienne DeGeneres responded, "Well, we saw something else."

--According to Maxim magazine, Lindsay Lohan is the hottest woman in the world right now. The "Georgia Rule" actress-troublemaker tops the magazine's eighth annual "Hot 100" list, a ranking by editors weighing buzz and beauty for women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion. Jessica Alba had to settle with the No. 2 on the list, which is in the magazine hitting stands Saturday. She's followed, in order, by Scarlett Johansson, Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, Ali Larter, Eva Mendes, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Fergie, Sienna Miller, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce Knowles and Katherine Heigl. (LOHAN???? Give me a break.)

The track is called 'Graduation' and is also the title of West's third album, the follow up to 2005's 'Late Registration', reports Billboard. The album is also set to feature the track 'Can't Tell Me Nothing', a clip of which has leaked online. (Hmmm...that sounds interesting...)

--ScaRy?

--Steve Sanders gets dumped again. Will he call Kelly?

--"My greatest competition is, well, me . . . I'm the Ali of today. I'm the Marvin Gaye of today. I'm the Bob Marley of today. I'm the Martin Luther King, or all the other greats that have come before us. And a lot of people are starting to realize that now." --R. Kelly (Why didn't he name a famous child molester? He's that, too).

--Aretha's got her a new man. Bet he makes her feel like a natural woman.

--Grey's Anatomy star Kate Walsh now has another reason to celebrate: In addition to getting her own spinoff, she's also getting married. The actress, 39, confirmed Tuesday that she's engaged to her boyfriend, Alex Young, a production co-president at 20th Century Fox. The Grey's star flashed her Neil Lane Jubilee-cut diamond and said that Young proposed last week in San Francisco. So what makes her fiancé so special? "Oh, everything," she gushed at the Entertainment Weekly upfront party at The Box in NYC. "He's the most amazing man I ever met."

--Sweaty Betty.

Random Thought of the Day:
Ok, it's getting down to the wire. Who are you pulling for on American Idol? Blake? Milinda? Jordan? I think Blake has a good shot because he is the most "commercial" in my opinion. However, I'm pulling for the person I think is the best vocally, and that's Milinda.
