Lindsay Lohan's lawyers are desparately trying to stop video cameras from filming the civil lawsuit that the actress faces after a car crash two years ago. A video made of the process would be worth a large sum of money. "If a single picture of Ms Lohan can sell for thousands of dollars, a videotape of the deposition will undoubtedly sell for tens of thousands of dollars," Lindsay's attorney said. Despite their efforts, a judge yesterday denied the bid. Lindsay has been sued by a Los Angeles busboy who says that she had been drinking when she crashed her car into his van in 2005. Lindsay denies the allegations and is countersuing.

Rumour has it that Brit Brit is knocked up with music producer JR Rotem's baby and that he confirmed it by telling the paps, "Yes, it's true." All that fat she got lipo-ed out is about to go straight back in.

There's also a nasty little shopliftng rumour. According to staff at the Hustler store in West Hollywood, Brit came in shortly before 1am on 18 November and selected a load of saucy undies to take to the changing rooms. When told that customers aren't allowed to try on underwear she became upset. A source from the scene claims, "She looked out of it. There was nothing going on behind her eyes." Undefeated, Brit swapped her own knickers for a pair of boyshorts that read "Barely Legal" - in front of 15 other customers in the middle of the shop. When asked to pay for the underwear, Brit grudgingly thrust a credit card at them and then, on her way out, snatched a wig off a mannequin and left without paying for it. Skanky.

Now this is a tearjerker. Linda Bollea has filed for a divorce from Terry Bollea, aka the big old man beast Hulk Hogan. They'd been married for 23 years. And of course documented the fairytale for MTV. I thought for a moment maybe they've split because he hit her but there's no way he'd have the strength.He's as big as an ox but weak as a kitten, I'll bet. Like if he tried to stab her it would just feel like a pinprick even though he was putting his back into it.

Sean Kingston is getting props at the moment after debuting his beautiful "Crayola + bike chain" necklace. I like it. It's shiny and pretty and you could backhand someone a treat with it.

Wearing sunglasses at night...to drive. Always a good one. I bet Britney's all like, "F*ck y'all, I don't want no more o' dat pap flash gittin' in mah eyes."

Her album Blackout has bombed big time. It sold just 430,000 copies since its release. In The Zone sold 600,000 copies in its first week alone and her first three albums sold over 10 million. The next single Piece Of Me only managed number 37 on iTunes. Looks like there is such a thing as bad publicity after all.

Colleen McLoughlin has encouraged her boyfriend, Wayne Rooney, to study for the GCSE exams that he didn't take when he was at school. The Manchester United star has hired a private tutor to coach him in Maths and English after football training. An insider explained: "Wayne has had a lot of advice from his United manager Sir Alex Ferguson about how to fill his time away from football. Fergie said he should do something constructive. Wayne's girlfriend Coleen has also been encouraging him to get his head in the books. She did well at school and left with 10 GCSEs." The industrious Wayne is also learning to play the £2,500 guitar that Coleen bought him for his birthday.

Angelina Jolie is an actress, UN goodwill ambassador, mother and now the multi-talented celeb is going to become a journalist. The Tomb Raider star has written an article about Darfur for the Economist's annual publication, The World in 2008, which contains political and economic predictions for next year. Other contributers to the highbrow publication include French president Nicolas Sarkozy, the Dalai Lama and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg. Angelina has previously said that she doesn't want to be remembered as an actress, but rather as a humanitarian, and her photo byline in The World in 2008 confirms this desire, describing her as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

David Beckham has signed a £20million dollar deal to become the new face of Armani. The LA Galaxy star will be modelling Armani's new Emporio underwear collection in billboard and magazine ads over the next three years. The deal is believed to have been personally sanctioned by Giorgio Armani himself, who has dined with the Beckhams in LA. An insider said, "The personal relationship was definitely instrumental. David and Giorgio get on very well, so it was very much Giorgio's personal choice. But Armani also sees this as a sound business decision."

Britney Spears has formed an unlikely alliance with one of LA's most successful paparazzi agencies, X17, to auction off a signed copy of her new album, Blackout, on eBay to raise money for Unicef. Bidding on the signed cd started yesterday at $25 and quickly reached $7200. The troubled pop princess, who is fighting a custody battle over her two young sons, said, "I think it's important to give back and, with the release of Blackout, this seemed the perfect opportunity to give the fans a chance to bid on something to help children everywhere."

It could be the most bizarre celebrity story of the year, and involves Paris Hilton, elephants and alcohol. The socialite is reportedly concerned about the plight of elephants in India who get drunk on rice wine and then electrocute themselves on power lines. Paris is quoted as saying, "The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them." Sangeeta Goswami, head of People for Animals, said, "I am indeed happy Hilton has taken note of recent incidents of wild elephants in northeast India going berserk. As part of her global elephant campaign, Hilton should... think of visiting this region literally infested with elephants."
