- First Class lounges aren't really exclusive enough for Jennifer Lopez anymore, but she's got a resourceful fix: she slips through a mysterious unmarked door in the lounge, giving the illusion she is entering some platinum VIP area, when really she's just hiding in a storage closet.

- Verne Troyer is suing TMZ for $20 million over that sex tape thing. Not because it's a sex tape, but for copyright reasons. Show of hands: did anyone actually watch the clip of this?

Nicole Richie and
Joel Madden: voting for
Obama. "He is a good man, he is cool... He is just a great person overall," Madden told
Us. But can they override the influence of the Montag-endorsed McCain? • Model and
Sylvester Stallone ex
Angie Everhart was

Kim Cattrall took her sweet time in agreeing to do the
Sex and the City movie because they didn't offer her enough
dough. "I never expected to be paid what Sarah was being paid. But I felt that the offer was not worthy of what the three of us had contributed. And I spoke up about it. I feel like I stuck my neck out. I fought. I don't ever want to be on a set where I feel undervalued." [
