Avril Lavigne’s punk exploits

Celebs Now posted photos of Avril Lavigne’s latest music video shoot, noting how the 22-year-old poser is hanging out with 14-year-olds. Now that’s how you cement your status as a badass! Not that anyone buys into that. I’m actually looking forward to the point in time where Avril’s people begin to craft a new adult image for her.

John Travolta’s boy outed as autistic

Outing gay celebrities is so yesterday. Today it’s all about outing celebrities with retarded children. John Travolta has denied rumors his 15-year-old son Jeff is autistic. Apparently, scientologists don’t buy into autism (as many people don’t buy into scientology). Perez Hilton recently posted photos of Jeff, which weren’t real flattering.

The Rock ends marriage

Pro wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne Johnson split from his wife of 10 years. I remember reading some years ago that he met her in college, while he was a freshman and she was a senior. The Rock is 35, so she must be pushing 40. The Rock has been given a second chance at life. Chase some skirts and not ones that scrape the floor. Snag a couple of college freshman.

Stars aren’t blind to plagiarizing

I don’t know what’s worse: Paris Hilton’s record label getting slapped with a $500,000 lawsuit for copying a UB40 song or UB40 taking credit for Hilton’s single “Stars Are Blind.” Dlisted has YouTube videos of both songs.

‘The Art of War’ by Rosie O’Donnell

Rosie O’Donnell won’t likely be on TV in the fall, but her long-awaited memoir “Celebrity Detox” should hold fans and celebrity storm trackers over. She told convention-goers Sunday that her book wouldn’t be mean, but should provide some behind-the-scenes insight from her time spent on “The View.”

Wanted: Paris Hilton prison pics

Harvey Levin of TMZ tells ABC News that photos of Paris Hilton in jail garb would easily go for seven figures. So what great lengths will the paparazzi take to get that elusive shot during her 23-day sentence? This would be a perfect storyline for Dirt’s fictional schizophrenic photog Don Conkey. I’m betting a jail guard will sell Paris out.

Dinner with Amy Winehouse

Up-and-coming R&B star Lloyd said Amy Winehouse would be his “perfect dinner date” in a cheeky FemaleFirst.co.uk chat. “That would be kinda interesting after a few drinks,” he said, followed by a few chuckles. Guess he likes skanky married chicks. But it was a difficult question, considering half of Hollywood doesn’t eat.

Tony Romo looking to trade Carrie Underwood

There’s chatter about Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo looking to bench current girlfriend Carrie Underwood for Jessica Simpson. A lot of people are calling this a fumble, but I think Romo deserves a pat on the ass. That’s how football players congratulate each other, isn’t it? His next best play would be to dump Jessica Simpson for her little sister, Ashlee, whose looking much better these days thanks to surgery.
