Everyone’s wishes might come true soon. Paris Hilton could get up to 90 days in the slammer for violating her probation for the second time. Cops pulled her over on Sunset Boulevard for picking up a tranny, I mean driving without her headlights on. She wasn’t supposed to be behind the wheel since her license was suspended for a full three years after her DUI last September.

This is the second time Paris has been busted for violating probation, making some kind of jail sentence more likely. She was pulled over about a month ago and cited for driving with a suspended license. Her ever-present spindoctor, Elliott Mintz, said at the time that Paris was blissfully unaware that she wasn’t allowed to drive for three years. He declined to comment on this latest incident.

City prosecuters are recommending that Paris’ probation be revoked, and it looks like they’re trying to make a well-deserved example out of her.

Mintz has been driving Paris around since her license was suspended. Janet Charlton notes that he’s died his hair blonde and has even started dressing like Paris. It looks like she needs to hire a professional chauffer.

Paris’ one-time BFF Nicole Richie also faces jail time for her DUI. She was busted driving the wrong way on the freeway back in December and admitted to cops on the scene that she had smoked pot and took a vicodin. Since she has an earlier conviction for DUI in 2002, she faces a mandatory five days in jail if she’s found guilty again. Richie’s lawyer entered a not guilty plea for her on February 21st. There is a pretrial hearing set for April 2nd.

Maybe Richie and Hilton can do a very special “Simple Life” episode from inside the county lockup. They’re sure to get into all sorts of funny hijinks there.

Here is Paris out with her new boyfriend, Josh Henderson from “Desperate Housewives,” on March 28th. He’s driving, but he doesn’t look sober enough to be behind the wheel. Her new boob job is quite obvious at this point. In one of these pictures you can clearly see where her extensions are attached to her head. She’s a living Barbie, I swear. [via] and [via]

35 year-old Mark Wahlberg stars as the kick-ass hero in the upcoming action film Shooter. The film is not getting great reviews and some say it’s confusing, although other critics note that it delivers good mindless action.

Wahlberg has come a long way from his juveline delinquent past. He was one of nine children growing up in Boston, and says he was left to get into trouble by his parents, who worked hard just to put food on the table. He left school in 8th grade and ended up serving 45 days in an adult prison at the age of 16. He was convicted of beating two Vietnamese guys in order to steal some beer one of them was carrying. It sounds like he hit one guy with a stick and then accidentally blinded another in one eye while trying to escape from the cops one the scene. The attack was said to have been racially-motivated, which Wahlberg denies.

As a result of going to jail, Wahlberg turned his life around and embraced Catholicism. He was visited by a kind religious woman in prison, who gave him some rosary beads which he cherised. Wahlberg used to wear the beads around him neck, and once they wore out he got a tattoo of the beads with a cross on his chest as a reminder. He is now a devout Catholic and goes to church frequently.

Wahlberg sounds like a family man and clearly adores his children. He spoke in a recent interview about changing his one year-old son’s poopy diaper and playing horsie with his three year-old daughter:

“I changed a big poopie diaper this morning,” gloats the father of two. In a sec, he proudly divulges diaper-changing details, blow-by-blow.

“My son had woken up, so I went down to get him and smelled that big bomb … ”

This same morning, as he does every week, the Oscar-nominated (for “The Departed”) actor attended 8:30 a.m. Mass at his Beverly Hills church. Yes, bad boy rapper Marky Mark, who used to strip to his skivvies and grab his crotch onstage, is a devout Catholic with body ink as proof.

“I have a rosary tattoo around my neck,” says Wahlberg, 35. “It goes all the way down to there.”

He’s a charmer, this one-time Calvin Klein underwear model who as a teen took out a man’s eye and went to prison for it. In an interview in a hotel room, he amicably chats about everything from his hell-raiser youth in working-class Dorchester, Mass., to the charity he founded for at-risk kids, to his 3-year-old daughter Ella’s preoccupation with pretending she’s a pony.

“She goes neighhhh, neighhhh,” says Wahlberg, imitating a horse. “She wants me to be a mean cowboy and drag her around on a leash.”

The former boy bander also has a foundation for inner city youth, called The Mark Wahlberg Youth Foundation, which is run by his brother, Jimmy. The nonprofit has raised over $1 million for youth groups.

In his free time, Wahlberg enjoys playing golf and has a driving range on the Beverly Hills estate where he lives with his two children and their mother, his girlfriend model Rhea Durham.

Wahlberg will soon be starring in another film with fellow DILF Matt Damon called The Fighter, and has just been announced as the star of M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming thriller, The Happening.

There’s something really appealing about this working class guy who is now a Hollywood actor and buff father of two.

Yesterday there was an interesting article featured on the Yahoo! homepage from Men’s Health in which a relationship expert gives advice based on lessons we’ve learned from celebrity hookups and breakups.

Author David Zinczenko says we should be careful what we take away from the high-profile romances and breakups that we eagerly follow in the tabloids. If we follow the celebrity examples too closely, he says, we could end up sabotaging our own relationships.

Here are his major points summarized along with positive ways he suggests to deal with common relationship hurdles:

Brangelina: your partner can easily leave you for someone from work
To avoid losing your man/woman to a sexy co-worker, make time for romance and rekindle your relationship after the honeymoon is over.

Reese and Ryan: no relationship is solid despite appearances
Even if your relationship feels secure, you should make sure to note weak areas and work on them with your partner.

TomKat: Men should jump on couches and show their love outwardly
Most men are low-key and downplay their love, and Zinczenko notes that women seem to prefer it this way. Over-the-top PDA is too much for most of us, and some simple hand-holding or a peck on the cheek is good enough. Actions speak louder than words when it comes to love.

Overall: Marriage is not a real commitment, and divorce is easy
Celebrities seem to treat marriage as a stepping stone or a temporary arrangement. This criticism isn’t just reserved for the famous people as 1/2 of all marriages end in divorce. Marriage vows should not be taken lightly, and people should take their time before getting married, and be serious about it.

I guess it’s all well and good to covet $800 shoes and purses, but we shouldn’t try to emulate the celebrities in everything they do. They’re only human, after all.

Here are pictures of Brad and Angelina at the God Grew Tired of Us premiere back in January.

Despite earlier reports that probably originated in the British press that K-Fed was going to walk away from his failed marriage to Britney Spears with a comfortable $17 million settlement, the chain-smoking parents have settled their divorce for considerably less. Somehow walking mess Britney had a prenup that protected her dwindling fortune, and sources say K-Fed is going home with just a million bucks. We might not ever know for sure, though, as Britney’s lawyer is expected to try to keep the specifics under wraps:

TMZ has learned Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have reached a settlement in their divorce.
Sources say that under the terms, K-Fed will walk away with around $1 million (In case you’re wondering, Spears’ lawyer, Laura Wasser, drafted and airtight pre-nup). As for their two kids, we’re told Britney and Kevin will have joint custody, sharing physical custody 50/50. The divorce will be final, with a judge’s signature, very soon.

In the past, when Wasser settled a high-profile divorce, the parties filed a “skeletal judgment,” which meant the specific terms were omitted from the public documents.

Still, K-Fed isn’t going to be roughing it on his mere $1 million. He was estimated to have made about six figures for his birthday party appearance at Pure nightclub in Vegas, and his entire luxurious stay and all travel were comped.

Interestingly enough, the lawyer’s office where Britney and K-Fed signed away their marriage was so close to the dentist’s office in Century City, where Britney had two emergency consultations that paparazzi initially reported that she went back there for some additional work on her mouth.

Update: US Weekly says that the $1 million settlement report is not accurate, and claims the two took a 15 minute smoke break from their divorce meeting and were seen chatting amicably.

Here are blurry far away pictures of Britney after signing the divorce papers and some from her wedding. There’s also an early photoshoot with K-Fed to show how young stupid love can go so horribly wrong. Scans from Britney Zone and pictures from Flynet Online and Totally Britney.

Lawyer Howard K. Stern has delayed the inquest into the suspicious death of the son of his lover, recently-deceased Anna Nicole Smith. He claims that it’s impossible to get a jury that doesn’t know the story and have pre-conceived notions about it, considering the widespread press coverage. The investigation will be put on hold for at least two weeks, and Howard’s lawyer is trying to get it permanetly closed.

Howard’s actions seem to indicate some form of guilt. A witness claims to have seen him flushing away some tablets found in Daniel’s pants after he died and Anna was supposedly overheard screaming “you did this!” shortly before staff were summoned to an unresponsive 19 year-old Daniel. A coroner hired by Anna claims that Daniel died of a drug interaction from the effects of several prescription medications, along with the heroin susbsitute methadone, which Anna was addicted to and was not prescribed to Daniel. The National Enquirer claims that actual toxicology reports were tampered with, and that results showed ten times the amount of methadone in Daniel’s system than was reported. This would mean that his death was not an accident and could only have been the result of suicide or foul play.

Daniel was said to have consulted a private investigator shortly before he died. A California PI spoke to In Touch and said Daniel talked to him about concerns over his mother’s relationship with Howard. The man says Daniel felt that his mother was being kept a “virtual prisoner” by Howard, and was worried that she was on so many drugs while pregnant. I guess it’s convenient for Howard that Daniel died before he could do anything about it.

Still, Howard is a creepy lawyer and on the off chance he’s not directly responsible for Daniel’s death he probably just wants to get more time to figure out how to get his hands on the most cash possible.

Howard has also filed an appeal in the paternity case by Larry Birkhead for Anna’s daughter, Dannielynn. Howard has custody of the infant and his appeal will delay the announcement of the DNA results. The next hearing in that case is scheduled for April 3rd.

How long until this guy’s actions catch up to him? I don’t think he’s blameless in Daniel or Anna’s death. Daniel’s death could have been a weird accident, but it seems like he needs to be held responsible for something. He’s an enabler and a user. I’m not so sure he murdered Anna at this point, but he certainly made it easy for her to get as many drugs as she wanted. I’m still predicting some kind of suicide when he realizes the gig is up.

Slurry American Idol judge Paula Abdul is said to have a nervous tic that causes her to pull out her hair. She’s been tugging at it and leaving bald areas on her scalp.

The troubled star is so anxious over the show’s frantic pace she’s developed a nervous habit of tugging at her long locks, which is causing her to pull out clumps of hair. The situation has gotten so bad that Paula’s been visiting a Hollywood dermatologist for hair-restoration treatments, sources say.

[From The National Enquirer print edition, April 2, 2007]

Abdul has blamed her loopy behavior on complex regional pain syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes burning pain throughout the body. She has denied being addicted to drugs for “recreational purposes” but seemed to be, uh, splitting hairs in her statements about it. She claims to not drink, but never said she doesn’t take medication for her neurological condition.

It’s not that surprising to think that she’s pulling her hair out along with all her other issues.

The Enquirer goes on to quote experts who say that Paula’s disorder leads to hyperactivity, which could explain the hair-pulling.

People who suffer from complex regional pain syndrom say it’s completely debilitating and that if more people understood the condition they wouldn’t be so quick to condemn Paula for taking drugs for it.

Media Take Out was calling Danity Kane’s Aubrey O’Day pregnant after she was seen out looking like she had aged 10 years and put on 20 pounds. The transformation is not quite as striking in other pictures taken at the same event, but she definitely put on some weight and it’s more than just a heavy-handed makeup job.

She looks pregnant to me, especially considering how thin she used to be. People are speculating that it’s Diddy’s baby, since he’s pretty good at knocking women up and was said to be having an affair with her.

I was all ready to report that Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams had called it quits again, at least according to the ever-trustworthy Life & Style, but Just Jared just posted pictures of the Ryan at the airport with Rachel’s sister and her boyfriend. If Ryan is having trouble with Rachel, why would he be hanging out with his girlfriend’s sister and boyfriend?

The Notebook stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams were said to be taking time off because Gosling needed space. The were rumored to be having trouble back when Rachel didn’t come with Ryan to the Oscars, where he was nominated for best actor for his role in Half Nelson. Gosling explained that his girlfriend was off working, though, and his mother and sister came with him as his dates instead.

Life & Style said they were taking time off, but if that was true it was short-lived:

After months of fighting and a brief reunion, The Notebook stars Ryan Gosling, 26, and Rachel McAdams, 30, are back off. “There were spending every minute together and he was feeling claustrophobic,” says a friend of his.

[From Life & Style print edition, March 26, 2007, via Sammie's Effluvia]

Usually when a guy says he needs time off or space or whatever, that means he’s not ready to commit, but doesn’t want to split up entirely. Those are the kind of guys that aren’t going to change in the immediate future. I have been in those type of stormy relationships and no matter how hard you try you can’t make it work in my experience. You have to just move on and find a person that’s ready for a long term relationship. Maybe Gosling and McAdams don’t have that kind of rocky relationship though because they’ve been together about a year and a half now. Hopefully it will work out for them.

McAdams was seen with a big diamond ring on her wedding finger back in October of 2005, but if she was engaged to Gosling at that point they must have called it off.

McAdams praised Gosling in an April interview in Elle Magazine, saying that “he’s very brave” in his acting choices and that “He did an amazing job” in Half Nelson.

Just Jared has the recent pictures along with a story from Gosling about his several “homemade” tattoos, including a recent one around his wrist. Thanks to I’m Not Obsessed for these pictures.

There’s going to be an auction for the rights of O.J. Simpson’s murder confession book, If I did it, with the proceeds to benefit the victim’s family. O.J. was acquitted of criminal charges in the 1994 murder of his estranged wife and her friend, Ron Goldman. O.J. was found guilty in a civil trial, though, and still owes $33.5 million to the family of Ron Goldman.

The Sacramento County sheriff’s department will auction off the book on April 17th. They say they only accept cash or certified bank check so come prepared.

A judge eventually froze O.J.’s Simpson proceeds from the book, but it does not seem as if the victim’s families have yet been compensated from his ill-gotten gains. O.J. received a speculted $1 million advance, which he said he spent on bills he owed.

An interview between O.J. and his publisher was yanked from airing on Fox after widespread outrage over the book. Leaked transcripts of that interview reveal that O.J. introduced an accomplice in the murders, a recent friend he called “Charlie” and claimed was on the scene and helped him destroy evidence. I speculated back when that news came out that the accomplice could have been Christian Reichardt, the boyfriend of Nicole’s best friend Faye Resnick. Christian testified at O.J.’s trial that he spoke to him on the phone on the night in question. Reichardt was reportedly trying to help wean O.J. off steroids, and some have speculated that steriod rage may have led O.J. to freak out and commit the murders.

Kate Moss …finally acknowledged as too ferret faced and nicotine stained to model even for her own clothes’ line (at Top Shop) …has chosen her representative muse – model Irinia Lazareanu. Tranny Doherty … like Shannon Doherty but without the wonky eye.

Has she gone for a younger version of the Mossy old charms, scrubbed down those green walls to find the shiny marble underneath … not quite. She is keeping tradition alive by sticking with a new form of heroin chic, but taking it in a tranny direction with Lazareanu - a shocking Pete Doherty look-a-like. There is just no career killing move that Moss can’t find a way to incorporate Doherty into … points for consistency if not for hygiene, Katie me girl.

Not that Pete doesn’t have a girlish charm from certain angles … heroin does wonders for the complexion and certainly induces that blank gaze so popular in the glossy pages of fashion mags. Frillr has the details

“Kate thinks she’s got a very unique, rock-chick look,” says our source. “She really felt that Irina embodies the feel of her TopShop range - her porcelain skin, her big eyes under her thick Sixties fringe - it was a look Kate was impressed with.” Lazareanu has starred in campaigns for Chanel, Mulberry and Hugo Boss

Yeah she really likes getting whacked and putting Pete in a wig is more like it. Top Shop is already in a slight panic about the Kate venture: the Madonna line at H&M has undersold significantly and industry insiders think it may be an indicator of consumer exhaustion. Further adding to top Shop’s worries Irinia Lazareanu – who has some real modelling experience — used to be a drummer for Doherty’s band Babyshambles. Could it be execs are worried that Moss wasn’t exactly compos mentis when she made the choice? Frillr continues with the positive spin but it seems like they didn’t read through their own quotes:

Moss‘s designs launch in the UK later this month and there is already a waiting list for the clothes.
Kate Moss will also debut the collection for Topshop in New York on May 8th at Barneys department store..
Julie Gilhart of Barneys said:”Topshop is the lower end mass store that offers a lot of style; Barneys is an upscale luxury store that offers high style.”

So what are you saying Julie? That the collection is a mismatch for TopShop …. or too low end for you … well one way or another we’ll soon see whether Kate once again manages to snatch victory from the jaws of bad decisions and imminent defeat. That train has been on time for so far …
