Cameron Diaz was in court yesterday testifying against photographer John Rutter, who allegedly tried to exhort money from her in 2003 for a set of topless photos.
"Charming the jury as she giggled through part of her three hour testimony Cameron insisted she wasn't ashamed of the topless pics." Although not happy about the release of the photos, she believes she looked good topless.
"At least I have that going for me," she told the courtroom. Cameron says when Rutter first approached her she suggested a partnership, but quickly realized he was trying to blackmail her after he told her he planned to sell the photos to "people who were intentionally trying to hurt me" and who wanted to "portray me as a bad angel".

Nicky Hilton buys her own designs off the shelf
Nicky Hilton was shopping at LA's Kitson earlier this month and a fellow shopper noticed that she picked up $300 worth of her own designs and paid retail. Huh? Apparently this isn't anything unusual.
Her sister Paris goes to Kitson and does the same thing. Why? Publicity? Easy access?
"Gwen Stefani buys her own line L.A.M.B.," said a Kitson insider.

Kelly Osbourne is doing a body over
Osbourne was recently admitted to a hospital because of depression, over her self image. Her mom Sharon said Kelly is constantly attacked by critics over her weight and looks.
"The final straw came when a British talk show host asked Kelly if she had digitally manipulated photos to make herself look skinny," Sharon said. That "finally" caused her mental breakdown.
Well, Kelly learned a lot from that hospital stay. "I'm going to get lifted, sucked, tucked and Botoxed until my forehead doesn't move," Kelly said. Won't that be pretty...Why didn't she think of that before?

Whitney Houston to replace zany Abdul?
Whack replaces whack....if this is true. Rag alert by Star mag: "Producers of American Idol have asked Whitney Houston to be a judge on the fifth season of the show." Hmmm, a pretty close replica of Paula she is. Snort.
Star also says that Mariah Carey has been approached. Uh uhhh. However loopy Carey is, she is indeed the most popular female artist in *history.* Remember- she has had 62 total weeks of No. 1 hits... ranking second only to Elvis. I still can't believe that. Anywho, why the hay would she do American Idol?

No way...
Britney Spears said she would like to design her own range of maternity clothes. NO....not kidding.
She says, "There's so much nasty stuff out their for moms-to-be, I can't work out why stores don't sell funkier stuff. I have ideas about more modern designs and it would be fun to utilize them."
This explains so much.

Hugh Grant is naughty
Hugh Grant and his girl Jemima Kahn reportedly had crazy sex in full view of their stunned neighbors!
"The couple were in such a rush to make love they forgot to draw the curtains of their London home," writes British newspaper the Daily Express.
The neighbor said, "The story of what was seen here has spread like wildfire. A young housewife changing the sheets in her bedroom couldn't help but see what Hugh and Jemima were doing because they were pressed up against their window.
Suffice to say that Hugh, who seemed to be behind Jemima, was showing his love for her in a most enthusiastic and energetic manner."
Hmmm, energetically from behind. Yowza. At least it was with his *girlfriend* and not a HOOKER...

Lenny Kravitz is an established designer
Lenny Kravitz started a business two years ago in Miami called Kravitz Design. He decorated his own homes, including one in New Orleans, and magazines started to take notice such as Vogue.
He has two partners in the firm but Kravitz uses his own fashion style to help create an "opulent retro decor."
"We were quiet at first, just doing some private homes, and then moved into doing a penthouse recording studio. We're doing hotels. We've got three or four things on the table now," Kravitz said.
"I love things that are rooted in classic styles," he said. "You'll see quite a blend of furniture. You might see an art nouveau chair next to a chair from the '60s."
"There's a lot of styles to it, because like in music, I'm well versed in style, so it could be completely modern, it could be classic in different styles," Kravitz said. "It has to be comfortable, it has to have sensuality to it." Sensual he is...

Please give Bono his hat back
Bono went to court in Dublin to sue Lola Cashman, a stylist that worked for the band U2 in the 80's. She took his pants, sweatshirt, earrings, polaroid photos and a Stetson cowboy hat. Bono said the items sound trivial but they are personal.
Cashman spilled it on the band when she wrote a book last year. She claims the items were a gift, Bono says the band only gives that kind of stuff to charities. Come on lady!
Bono said, "It's not something that would happen. You may have wealth and power, but when someone is trying to push us around and threatening to publish books about us, at a certain point you have to say, 'Stop right there!.' "
Oprah...that will show em'
Here's something entertaining: Oprah is having a garage sale and selling everything Hermes in her whole house. Sigh..."Oprah once loved Hermes, she spent millions there," her friend said. Those beautiful days are gone.
Back in June Oprah arrived at the Paris Hermes 15 minutes after they were closed. She was shut down at the door. She just can't get over it. Let it go! Unclench!
She is selling all items Hermes and donating the money to charities that fight racism. Scarves usually run around $400 and a Birkin handbag as much as $20,000.
In addition to this madness, Oprah has been offered $1 million to appear in an ad for Louis Vuitton. POW.

Snoop and his hydro
Snoop was soooo high last week he was over an hour late to his concert in Norway.
Then, Snoop Dogg openly smoked marijuana on stage. "When he did finally arrive he was still smoking the drug and even cheekily offered it to the audience." Had to be some good shiggy nit.
A witness said: "He was too busy smoking a joint and playing his Xbox to get there on time. Then he asked if anyone in the audience wanted a smoke, and he openly admitted he was smoking weed".
Updates today late afternoon!

Mariah Carey...sad surprises
For ME anyway. First, Mariah has a 44 year old sister. Who the hell knew? Second, this sister is a hooker named Alison and she is HIV positive. Third, she was arrested after being set up by the NYPD. For the love of butterflies.
Alison said, "I got a call to meet a guy on a boat that was docked in a marina. I went onto the boat and told them I needed to use the bathroom. The man said, 'Don't use that room,' and he tried to stop me from opening the door but when I did I saw a policeman with radio equipment, and that's when they busted me for prostitution."
"The police have it in for me in Suffolk County", she said.

Alba's dad still mad about GQ
Jessica Alba said her dad still isn't over the GQ photoshoot (above photo) she did in April. She said, "My dad doesn't like it. He is still angry about the cover, which is the most risque thing that I have ever done and will ever do. But my mom was cool."
Her turn-offs? "An overly macho guy is really annoying. When a guy picks fights with other guys, I am usually out of there." Turn-ons? "Confidence and humor."

Speaking of laughing, Harrods' Mohamed Al-Fayed is one of Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston's HOOK UPS!!!
The two whacks want to have more children. So Al-Fayed gave Brown "Egyption Viagra" during an episode of "Being Bobby Brown." Yes, there is a reality show with Bobby and Whitney running now.
"A thrilled Brown swallowed the pill his friend gave him after the Harrods boss told him it would give him an immediate erection." Oh my God.
The episode also featured the Dalai Lama, who met Brown outside a London hotel after the singer and his entourage screamed "Mr Lama, Mr Lama" to get the holy man's attention. Oh that's nice.
