Former boybander Justin Timberlake seems to be getting a little too big for his britches.

His handlers at Spyglass Entertainment had journalists at the Love Guru junket signing one of those Tom Cruise-ian ('do not stare at the star') contracts that demands, among other things, that the journalist not mention anything personal or private, destroy all materials not approved in advance, and make the freelancers personally liable for anything they might write about the guy.

Or here's a better idea: Keep all press away from the Love Guru junket, period. That terrible movie had enough publicity during the American Idol finale, and those 10 minutes were agonizing.

Ashley Alexandra Dupré, aka Ashley Youmans, the ambitious young escort who became an instant celebrity after getting caught servicing ex-governor Eliot Spitzer, is being offered $1 million to drop a $10 million lawsuit she's brought against Girls Gone Wild. Dupré is suing the bastards for allegedly plying her with alcohol, "tricking" her into getting naked on camera and then — without her consent — using that footage in a video.

Joe Francis, head asshole at Girls Gone Wild, says Dupré has "zero chance" of winning the lawsuit, as he has "videotape of her giving consent, while showing her identification." Francis recommends Dupré take the million and walk: "She should keep in mind, it's considerably more than the Governor of New York paid her, and our activities aren't illegal," he told the New York Daily News. Oh, man, we hate that guy.

More than ever before, we are hoping and wishing for a hell in which guys like Joe Francis get the shit beaten from them hour after hour by Amazonian superbitches with real boobs and big fists.

"Industry insiders" claim that Ashlee Simpson and her pious pimp of a father, Joe, are leaking tracks from Mariah Carey's upcoming album to mitigate the effect Carey's sales will have on Ashlee's latest record, which premieres one week later. Said a source to MSNBC: "They are backed into a corner with this release date since they already changed it once. Their only option in fighting the Mariah machine would be to create a way to make the album's release less newsworthy." Bittersweet World, the awfully named record from the newly engaged Simpson, has already had its original release date shifted from late 2007 to April 22 of this year.

Here is the foto of the day of Brintey Spears as she left the Mcdonalds in Malibu . We just got it from a freelancer. Guess how many photographers were taking this foto today? Three! It is a sign of the times.

FINALLY, A USE FOR MTV "Like so many of the over-the-top birthday parties that typically appear on 'My Super Sweet 16' on MTV, Ariel’s celebration took the fairy-tale-princess theme to new heights. … As viewers learned, Ariel’s dad was a successful oilman. 'I love oil. Oil means shoes and cars and purses,' Ariel exclaimed to the camera as she and her father stomped around oil drilling sites in the muddy hills near her home in Campbellsville, Ky. … The show typically attracts younger viewers, but this particular episode, shown in February 2007, caught the attention of an entirely different demographic: government regulators. Ariel’s father was Gary M. Milby, a man regulators now say was bilking hundreds of investors across the country out of millions of dollars by offering fraudulent investments in nearly 30 oil and gas limited partnerships with names like 'Black Gold Oil No. 6' and 'Fort Knox Oil No. 8.'"
