NORM: Paula Abdul 'Woman of Year'
Paula Abdul started the year amid controversy but now is the Nevada Ballet Theatre's "Woman of the Year." Paula Abdul is returning to the Nevada Ballet Theatre's "Woman of the Year" event -- this time as the honoree. Last year, she went home with a teacup Yorkie puppy after a winning $10,000 live auction bid. The "American Idol" judge and former Los Angeles Lakers dancer and choreographer joins recent honorees Celine Dion, Carol Channing, Ann-Margret, Debbie Reynolds, Chita Rivera, Rita Rudner and Elaine Wynn. The event will be held Jan. 27 at Wynn Las Vegas. Abdul's selection likely will raise eyebrows in some quarters. Her headline-making year started with a ruckus in January, when two employees at the Silverton said they were fired after Abdul claimed she missed a 7:40 a.m. flight during New Year's weekend. The workers said she called at 6 a.m. to have the flight changed. Silverton President Craig Cavileer issued a statement at the time, saying it was "necessary to clarify that the alleged decision to recently terminate two of our team members was not based on any request or direction of Ms. Abdul as has been reported by the media." Cavileer and his wife, Charlene, are honorary chairs of the upcoming event. Nevada Ballet Theatre co-founder Nancy Houssels, in a Wednesday press release, said, "Everyone knows Paula as the judge of the popular show, 'American Idol.' But they may not be aware of her extensive work with children through her cheerleading camps and scholarship programs. "Her warm personality and talent have touched every aspect of the arts and entertainment world. Paula exemplifies the qualities we look for in an honoree." GOLD RUSH A collection of 32 gold nuggets that were on display at the Golden Nugget for almost 30 years is heading for auction. They were part of Steve Wynn's new Golden Nugget when they went on display in October 1979. Wynn had a deal with Alaskan businessman and entrepreneur Arthur J. Sexauer to display the nuggets, which included the "Parrot head," the largest nugget in the collection at 21.61 troy ounces. It came from Alaska's American Creek. Bonhams & Butterfields auction house will offer the collection in its Dec. 3 sale in Los Angeles. THE SCENE AND HEARD
Sandy Murphy returns to national television at 10 p.m. Sunday in Oxygen's season premiere of "Snapped." The reality show examines women who commit murder. Murphy and Rick Tabish were accused of murdering Las Vegas casino heir Ted Binion in September 1998. They were found guilty of killing Binion in 2001. A jury in 2004 found them not guilty of the murder charges. ...
Rita Rudner will appear on KLVX, Channel 10's Book Club program at 4 p.m. Sunday with host Jamie Carpenter. "Turning the Tables" is the fourth book for Rudner, who opens on Monday at Harrah's after five years at New York-New York. ... SIGHTINGS Jason Priestly of "Beverly Hills 90210," Frankie Muniz of "Malcolm in the Middle," and Cedric the Entertainer, checking into suites at the Fantasy Tower at the Palms on Wednesday. ... Music producer Quincy Jones in Picasso (Bellagio) on Monday night. Jones showed up at Pure (Caesars Palace) on Tuesday, after a recording session with Celine Dion at the Palms recording studios. In Pure earlier: comedian Tommy Davidson, Kenny Thomas of the Sacramento Kings and Josh Radnor of TV's "How I Met Your Mother," after dinner at Social House (Treasure Island). ... Cristina Saralegui, star of Univision's "The Cristina Show," drew more than 3,000 fans at her personal appearance Saturday at Walker Furniture, where she introduced her new Casa Cristina Furniture Collection. THE PUNCH LINE "Bill (Clinton) hasn't been this angry since Hillary made him take his page off MySpace." -- Jay Leno

Screech in sex film By Colin Mahan - TV.com September 28, 2006 at 02:56:00 PM | more stories by this author Dustin Diamond, aka Screech in teen sitcom Saved By the Bell, surfaces in bawdy sex tape. Dustin Diamond Once he was saved by the bell; now he's having a ball. Dustin Diamond, who played Screech in the '90s teen sitcom Saved By the Bell, is now appearing in a 40-minute sex tape, according to the New York Daily News. The actor reportedly engages in graphic sex acts in the video. The tape differs from other sex tapes by Colin Farrell, Kid Rock, and Paris Hilton, because while those were ostensibly private tapes that were leaked to the public, Diamond apparently intended for his work to be seen. Adult entertainment agent David Hans Schmidt is attempting to find distribution for the tape through several adult film channels, including Hustler founder Larry Flynt and Vivid Video's Steven Hirsch. Schmidt is naming the tape Saved By the Smell. Diamond's manager Roger Paul told the Daily News, "I haven't seen the tape. I've heard rumors. Dustin has been trying to escape the Screech typecast. So this may help [him] get more bookings." Since leaving Bell, Diamond has been performing stand-up comedy and playing in the band Salty the Pocketknife. He appeared in Fox's reality show Celebrity Boxing 2 and can be seen fully clothed in an episode of the upcoming ABC sitcom Knights of Prosperity.

Yup. <100> I know he's trying to save his house, but that should be a sign to just let it go, or work it out some other way.

Too bad about Tony Danza's marriage. I figured the cancellation of his show might be part of the reason. At first I thought his show was kind of lame, but after a while I came to enjoy it (though by no means a "must see").

Showbiz Top 5 Monday, October 2, 2006 5. The third, the final and the oldest Hanson has gotten married. Yes, at the ancient age of 25, Isaac Hanson tied the knot with 22-year-old Nicole Dufresne, in his hometown of Tulsa on Saturday. The wedding came just weeks after his middle brother -- 23-year-old Taylor -- and his wife of four years had their third child. The youngest Hanson -- 20-year-old Zachary --married his sweetheart back in June. 4. George Michael has been arrested again! This time it happened after he was found asleep at the wheel of his car early Sunday morning. George was approached by police about 3:30 in the morning in a small town just north of London. He failed a breath test and was taken to the hospital for treatement. A police spokesperson says beyond being high on marijuana and alcohol, George seemed to be very ill, so they took him to the hospital in case it was something serious. But after a couple of hours, George was released from the hospital and taken to the police station, where he was given a warning after admitting to marijuana possession. 3. Jessica Simpson should watch out for her new assistant. Our local spies say she's hired Adrienne Sands, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, to be her new personal aide/minion. But unlike Simpson's former sidekick Cacee Cobb, whom she resembles, Sands has been complaining to people she doesn't know very well. Said one acquaintance, "Adrienne has been telling everyone she's too smart for this job and doesn't like it." A rep for Simpson didn't return calls. 2. As if Eva Longoria doesn't have enough problems with Tony Parker cheating on her... she's got a homeless guy living in her house! Eva has been renovating a home in Hollywood for the past five months, but she didn't want to set foot inside of it until contractors and finished. But her mother was in town and she wanted to show her the place, so she decided to pop by unannounced. Eva said, "We walk in and there are beer cans everywhere and I'm like, 'What is this?' And a guy comes down (the stairs) in, like, boxers and he's like, 'Oh crap..! I'm fixing the electricity.' "He was a worker on the house that just decided to squat. There's nothing there, it's like and empty house... I was livid". 1. Nick Carter is spilling all sorts of dirt now that he's got a new TV show to promote -- "House of Carters" on E! Nick admits now that he cheated on his former girlfriend Paris Hilton with her rival Ashlee Simpson after hearing rumors that Paris had been cheating on him with her "House Of Wax" co-star Chad Michael Murray. Nick and Paris dated for eight months before splitting in July 2004 -- the same month Chad announced his engagement to Sophia Bush. And then after like 4 months of marriage, Sophia dumped Chad for cheating on her... Talk about a tangled web!

and so it continues ... Anna Nicole ex challenges paternity of child NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- A man who claims to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's newborn daughter has filed a lawsuit demanding the reality TV star and baby girl return to California for paternity testing, his lawyer said Tuesday. The lawsuit on behalf of Larry Birkhead, a photographer who says he is Smith's former boyfriend, was filed Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court, attorney Debra Opri told The Associated Press by telephone from southern California. She said Smith was served with court papers Monday in the Bahamas, where the 38-year-old former Playboy playmate has been mourning the death of her adult son. Daniel Wayne Smith died September 10 while visiting his mother in the hospital where she had given birth three days earlier. Howard K. Stern, an attorney for Smith, claims he is the father of the baby girl, Dannie Lynn Hope. He has said the couple plans to marry. Birkhead filed the challenge because Smith has not responded to his attempts to communicate, Opri said. "The access had been cut off about the time of the birth of the child," she said. The lawsuit also expresses concerns about the fitness of the baby's current household. "There are concerns about the health and safety of the child," Opri said. "These are things that will come out in court." Bahamas Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez, meanwhile, said it is unclear whether an inquest is necessary in the death of Daniel Smith. One had been tentatively scheduled. Gomez told the AP that official toxicology results were issued on Friday but that he had not seen them. A U.S.-based pathologist who conducted a private autopsy said last week that Daniel Smith died from an accidental lethal combination of methadone and two antidepressant drugs. Gomez said the Royal Bahamas Police Force is still investigating the death. Anna Nicole Smith has been married twice. She married Bill Smith in 1985, giving birth to Daniel before divorcing two years later. She wed Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. She has since been involved in legal disputes over the estate. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/10/03/annanicolesmith.ap/index.html

Showbiz Top 5 Tuesday, October 3, 2006 5. An arrest warrant has been issued for Bobby Brown after he failed to show up for a hearing in Boston regarding some delinquent child support payments. Kim Ward is the mother of Bobby's teenage daughter La Princia and his son Bobby, Jr. She claims Bobby owes her two months' child support, which adds up to $11,000. Two years ago, Bobby was sentenced to 90 days in prison for missing three months of payments, but that was later suspended after he coughed up $15K. 4. A spokesman for the Pussycat Dolls is slamming reports that the group is on the verge of splitting up, which means -- of course -- that the Pussycat Dolls are on the verge of splitting up. Lead singer Nicole has recently finished some solo work with Diddy, which is what got the rumors started. 3. The photographer claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby has filed court papers to establish paternity and obtain legal custody of the child. After Larry Birkhead found out Anna's attorney Howard K. Stern claimed to be Dannilynn's daddy, he decided it was time to launch his paternity battle. And Larry says there's no doubt in his mind that this is his daughter. 2. Nicole Richie has been at the center of eating disorder rumors and has now reportedly shrunk down to a size double zero. Now her boyfriend Brody Jenner has decided he's going to move in with her just to make sure she's eating. Meantime, Nicole is busy disputing rumors that she was admitted to a rehab clinic last week to help her get over her eating disorder. She wrote a personal message on her MySpace page saying, "I did not check myself into an eating disorder rehab. I don't know why or how this rumor started, but I am home, in Los Angeles, and very happy... I do not have an eating disorder, and I don't know how many times I have to say it." 1. Kevin Federline's second son with Britney Spears was born just three weeks ago, but he is already back to his old bad-boy ways... leaving his wife and babies at home in Malibu to party it up in Las Vegas. Just six months ago, Britney laid down the law on Kevin's frequent trips to Vegas with his posse. She even cut his allowance and made him ask her for permission to go on any out-of-town trips. But with the birth of her second baby Sutton, Britney's a little distracted. So Kevin and his crew took a private jet to the Venetian hotel and casino Friday night for a weekend-long celebration of the one-year anniversary of the club Tao. A source says he booked a table at Tao for both nights and was surrounded by women the whole time, drinking a lot and dancing on the tables. But every time one of the girls tried to take a picture, Kevin freaked out and wouldn't let them.

Federline had bypassed the red carpet event, which celebrities are often paid to attend. When Spaulding started shooting, she heard the bodyguard exclaim, "Oh no you don't," followed by the camera being slammed into her forehead and nose. "I don't have bruises, but I hurt," she said. Spaulding said she received an e-mail apology from a Federline associate.
