Tommy Lee Jones is suing the producers of No Country for Old Men for more than $10M he claims he is owed.

The lawsuit against Paramount Pictures claims that Jones was promised “significant box-office bonuses” and other compensation depending on the success of the film, which went on to make more than $160 million. Tommy Lee claims he was not paid promised bonuses and had expenses wrongly deducted. The suit says he was paid a reduced upfront fee in joining the film, and that his contract had known errors not corrected before the movie was made.

Over the weekend, Pete’s pal, hip-hop artist Tyga, told reporters that Pete and Ashlee are, in fact, expecting more than one baby.

“They’re having twins,” Tyga said in an exclusive interview yesterday at a pre-VMA party. “They’re really happy.”

A rep for the couple denies the reports.

Pete launched rumors that Ashlee was having twins early in the summer when he told a couple of Arizona radio DJs that he and Ashlee were “keeping a journal for them when they’re born.” Pete later backtracked and said he was just trying to be elusive about the sex of the baby, but I didn’t believe that at the time and I still don’t. If you listen to the radio interview, you can tell Pete knows he screwed up the minute the word “them” comes out of his mouth. I think these two are having twins.

No no, you guys, you don’t understand.

This is the best picture out of the whole set.

The others are equally bad or worse.

Here’s Amy Winehouse performing at Bestival this weekend.

Man, her hair looks itchy.

A lusciously lumptastic Ashlee Simpson is seen leaving a makeup store in LA this weekend.

You know what I find amusing about this photo?

A six-months-pregnant Ashlee Simpson looks, well, about like what I look like normally. Including the little tummy bump. I was talking to a friend tonight about how I am tragically one of those girls who, no matter how thin I get, always has that little belly bump. I could weigh 90 pounds and I’d still have that bump where my stomach is. It’s just my anatomy. I have a little protruding Buddha belly, and it will never ever go away on its own. I am actually looking forward to having a kid so that I will have an excuse to have a tummy tuck and get rid of that thing. I’m just gonna tell the folks in the delivery room to give my husband the kid and wheel me directly to plastic surgery.

Anyway, so, as I’ve mentioned earlier, I’m doing Weight Watchers right now, which has actually been very effective for me, and I’m eating a lot healthier and seeing results, albeit slowly. But, okay, I just have to admit something. When you pay for the Weight Watchers online membership, you get access to their message boards. And they have like a billion different message boards, many of which might actually be useful to me. I don’t use those. But I spend hours a day lurking on the message boards for women who have 200+ pounds to lose. I don’t know why. I’m obsessed. I mean, I’m sure part of it is that it makes me feel better about myself — “Your goal weight is 40 pounds more than my current weight!” — but I also like rooting them on and, like, reading their little stories and journeys as their lives transform. Whenever one of them posts a link to her personal blog, I read the thing all the way through. I look at all the photos. I read all the stats. I’m, like, freakishly obsessed with watching these morbidly obese women lose weight. Why am I so weird?

And then I have to talk about something else.

So by freakishly reading these message boards, I am learning so much about plus-size fashion. And when they talk about a plus-size store, I immediately go and check out that store’s website, because I am so, so weird like that. I’ve noticed a couple of things. First off, all of these websites use, like, the same ten “plus-size” models. Secondly, none of these models are actually overweight. What they do is put, like, huge clothes on these tiny beautiful women, and they just look like something out of Big Love rather than normal women with normal bodies. Here are some examples:

Do you see??? These women aren’t even a tiny bit overweight. They’re just wearing clothes that are way too big for them. Like they raided their moms’ closets. What kind of message does that send? I dunno. It kind of bugged me, but it also kind of made me laugh. The whole thing is so ridiculous.

Michael Phelps?

Is going to Blackoutville.

HotelChatter reports that Michael Phelps ended his crazy night in Vegas by throwing napkins at the bartender and passing out face-down on the bar.

He went in and out of Playboy Club like a swimmer with ADD (went Playboy to Moon, back to Playboy). Lots of his own fishy entourage … He went to the Mint lobby bar had a shot — was seen throwing napkins at the bartender and ended up face down on the bar.

Hey, at least he was in Vegas and not driving. Remember that DUI he got a few years ago? Hopefully Michael can reign things in a bit now that he’s very much in the public eye and a role model for lots of young kids. Get shitty wasted in Vegas in six months, buddy, not now. You’ll still be able to toss your cock in anything you want, but the media won’t be all over it.

Seriously someone get this kid a volleyball named Wilson, stat.

Jason Priestley showed off his new mountain man look at The Human Race’s post-run concert in LA.

Jason has been clear that he has no intention of returning to 90210 as an actor, although he’s hinted that he’d be willing to come back to direct.

Are any of you feeling this look or is everyone as repulsed by it as I am? Like, I feel like we need to send a Haz-Mat team in there to save Tiffani Thiessen.

Thanks Anthony!
