Strange NY Times story on the courthouse behavior of celebrities. Inside, these tidbits: rapper Jim Jones once put a kaffiyeh over his head and pretended to be Yiddish when someone asked if he was famous outside of a courthouse; Foxy Brown uses her post-perp walks as excuses to show off her glamorous designer duds. And Courtney Love, no stranger to court appearances, jokes with reporters as if she's walking the red carpet at a B-list event. Which, we suppose, in some way, she is. [NYT]

Mischa Barton Fights The Battle Of The (Digitally Enhanced?) Bulge
- Mischa Barton claims she is a PhotoShop Of Horrors victim: A new batch of paparazzi beach shots showed her legs riddled with cellulite. "Those photos are doctored," Barton's rep, Lisa Perkins, says. "I'm not saying she's perfect, nobody is. But they've given a 22-year-old woman the legs and bottom of an 80-year-old." The pix were taken by the dude she's pissed at for snapping topless shots; the same one who ran Nicole Kidman off of the road. [Rush & Molloy]
- You can see the pictures here, with a regular paparazzi shot as well. Photoshop? [Daily Mail]
- Apparently Mariah Carey wanted a $3 million wedding with doves and orchids and Nick Cannon wanted to get married ASAP with no fuss. Mariah agreed because, as she has said, "We really do feel we are soulmates. I never felt a love like this was in the cards for me." Aww, that should be sweet but somehow it's fucking annoying. [Mirror]
- Lindsay Lohan: Seen doing shots of tequila with Lauren Conrad! LL turned her back so no one would see; unfortunately she was facing a window and the whole bar could see her reflection. Whoops! [Rush & Molloy]
- Meanwhile: You know how Lindsay had finally gotten a movie role? In that Manson Girls flick? Well she's been kicked off of the project. Producers "discovered that they couldn't find any name actresses who wanted to co-star with her," says Nikki Finke. [Deadline Hollywood via ONTD]

- Britney's back at work on How I Met Your Mother. She looks cute dressed to match Neil Patrick Harris! [TMZ]

Newlyweds Jay-Z & Beyoncé: Already Brawling

- This should not come as a surprise and hardly qualifies as news, but Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt of The Hills want their own show. They've been in NYC pitching it to execs; it would be about them (gag) planning their wedding. Listen, if we all concentrate, maybe we can prevent this from happening: Every time Spencer gets what he wants, an angel loses its wings. [Page Six]
- Amy Winehouse has taken up painting watercolors. I want to hang one in my apartment so badly. [Mirror]

Axis of vapid indeed. • The latest in Britney rumors: she is in talks to be the new "face" and "body" of Bally Total Fitness. Being in the gym is better than being on the streets, right?

Shudder. [TMZ]
- So yeah, the nanny is countersuing Lowe for sexual harassment. She is seeking $50,000 in general damages as well as punitive damages and unpaid wages. [Reuters]

Julianne Moore talks to Eve magazine about having to severely restrict her diet to maintain an "acceptable" Hollywood figure: "I hate dieting. I hate having to do it to be the 'right' size. I'm hungry all the time...I think I'm a slender person, but the industry apparently doesn't. All actresses are hungry all the time, I think." • Foxy Brown, currently in the clink in New York, tried to get a judge to allow her to go Los Angeles to get her ears checked.

Yup, Eddie Murphy Is Single Again
- Two weeks after they exchanged vows at a "spiritual" ceremony in Bora Bora, Tracey Edmonds and Eddie Murphy have indeed split. The two will "remain friends" and since they never had a legal US wedding, Eddie — who acted like a bit of an asshole to Tracey — won't have to pay any alimony. [People]
- Cops were called to the home of Britney Spears last night, but not for the pop star! Several photographers were arrested for reckless driving. Seriously, it's all fun and games until someone gets nailed by an SUV. Or has a nervous breakdown. [Perez Hilton]
- According to a poll, 51% of people think that Britney should be able to see her kids a few times a week. Only 1% wanted Britney to get full custody. Was that 1% one person? And was that one person Britney? [Reuter]
- Kevin Federline's lawyer says Kevin knows how difficult the custody situation is on the kids — and their mother. "It's a sad situation. There's no victorious feeling." Isn't it amazing how he's become the one to sort of trust and admire? [People]

Foxy Brown's New Album Art Looks Very Familiar
The mentally Ill Na Na strikes again, this time, regarding cover art for her new album Brooklyn's Don Diva which, according to Amazon, will either be released on November 20 or December 11 of this year. Doesn't it look just a lil' bit too much like Lil' Kim's 2003 La Bella Mafia? It would not surprise me in the least if she did that on purpose, even though the two have supposedly squashed their decade-long beef. Or perhaps "night bridge" is just like the popular backdrop at the Portrait Place in Brooklyn's Fulton Street Mall. (Full-size image after the jump.) [Amazon] More »
We're sure this will shock nobody, but Foxy Brown (née Inga Marchand) was placed in solitary confinement on NYC's Rikers Island jail (where she's currently serving one year on probation violations) and will be kept segregated from the general population for 76 days. According to the NY Post, Foxy earned her spot in solitary after she committed three violations, including fist-fighting with an inmate, mouthing off to the correction officers, and refusing to take a drug test.

'NY Post' Columnist Basically Calls Foxy Brown A Nappy-Headed Ho
Believe us, we know all too well that Foxy Brown has been misbehaving for a long time, and recently, she's practically been compulsively violating the terms of her probation (stemming from an incident in which she slapped the crap out of two manicurists over a bill dispute). She's definitely earned her year-long stay in Rikers, but we felt a twinge of empathy for her when we read Andrea Peyser's piece in today's NY Post in which she took Foxy to task for not showing up for her court appearance last week, because reportedly she didn't want to be seen in public without her hair and makeup done. Andrea says:What a tragic sight... Foxy Brown walked into the Brooklyn courtroom wearing no hair extensions, no makeup, no Christian Louboutin stilettos. She wore a sad, brown corduroy jacket and contrasting plaid pants that were not from Prada, but H&M. Her braided hair was matted.Why is it that when people want to take a woman down a peg or two, they almost always resort to potshots about her sexuality or physical appearance? More »

- Sandra Bernhard thinks being famous today is without dignity. "You have to be like Paula Abdul and fall all over yourself and pretend you're strung out on something and behave like a freak," she says. "Paris Hilton and all these sorts of people can be famous now?" Crap, she's right. [The Sun]
