Paris Hilton
No one has more enemies than Paris Hilton it seems. The heiress is currently tangled up in a slander lawsuit with another socialite, Zeta Graff. Then there’s here ongoing feud with former best bud, Nicole Richie.
Her latest tiff was with Mischa Barton of “The OC” who called her a “silly bitch” in an interview. We thought their brawl had boiled over, but we recently heard an interesting end to the tale.
Reports Australia’s Dolly, Mischa and Paris were sparring at last month’s BAFTAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards) in London.
Mischa’s then boyfriend, Cisco Adler played her knight in shining armor by ending the altercation. “Butt out and get a job,” he told Paris. When asked about the fight later, Adler - who was once engaged to Paris’s friend, Kimberly Stewart - said, “Has Paris nothing better to do than party and row with people? At least Mischa has a job - she's a respected actress."
And Mischa’s not the only Hollywood woman who’s been irking Paris. Pamela Anderson has gotten on Hilton’s bad side after Anderson’s pet organization, PETA pulled a prank on her. During last month’s London fashion week, Paris and designer Julien Macdonald were doused in flour by PETA activists.
The animal rights group targeted Paris for her participation in Macdonald’s show, even though she did not wear any of his fur pieces. Dolly reports that Paris told a friend that, through her connections with PETA, "Pam could have stopped [the attack]. I thought we were friends," she lamented.
Paris and Pamela have been seen shopping together in the past and are believed to have become friends through celebrity photographer David LaChapelle.

MaDonna's Confuses Her Daughter
MaDonna
As long as you weren’t home-schooled, chances are you were teased by your classmates about your parents at least a few times. And if you were lucky enough not to be teased, chances are you worried it would happen anyway.
But unless your parents were honest-to-goodness circus freaks, you probably didn’t have it as tough as Madonna’s children do. The Material Mom recently fessed up to Out magazine about some of the problems her daughter Lourdes faces having such an infamous mother.
Understandably, 9-year-old Lourdes was teased about her mother’s performance at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. The VMAs that year hosted the kiss heard round the world, i.e., Madonna’s lip lock with Britney Spears.
Madonna recounted Lourdes’s reaction to the kiss for Out:
"She even asked, 'Mom, you know they say that you are gay?' And I'm, 'Oh, do they? Why?' And she says, 'Because you kissed Britney Spears.' I said, 'No, it just means I kissed Britney Spears. I am the mommy pop star and she is the baby pop star. And I am kissing her to pass my energy on to her.
Like, kind of a mythological fairy tale.' And she looks at me like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’”Madonna’s loose lips aren’t the only thing that’s confused Lourdes. She also disapproved of her mother’s behavior in the video for her song, “Hung Up.” In the clip, Madonna grinds up against some male dancers. Lourdes responded by saying, “Ugh, gross!
This is disgusting, Mom. Why are you doing that?” Madonna’s answer to her precocious child was, “Because I am having fun. This is what people do; they go out, when they are grown-ups, and dance and have fun.” “I try not to make a big deal out of it,” she told Out

Brown arrested on 14-year-old motor vehicle violations
Bobby Brown
WEBSTER, Mass. --Singer Bobby Brown has been arrested for minor motor vehicle violations dating back 14 years.
The 37-year-old entertainer was in town to watch his daughter in a high school cheerleading tournament on Friday night when a police officer conducted a warrant check and discovered the old misdemeanor charges of unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, and having an uninsured motor vehicle trailer, according to Webster Police Chief Timothy J. Bent. He said a warrant check is "a common thing to do."Brown was "very cooperative" and was allowed to drive -- with his bodyguard -- to the police station after the cheerleading event at Bartlett High School, Bent said.
Brown was detained for about one hour, and was released on $40 bond.
"He was very forthright in wanting to clear this up," Bent said. "He probably didn't know he had this."
Brown's attorney, Maurice Bennett, did not immediately return a call to comment.
Brown lives in Alpharetta, Ga., with his wife, singer Whitney Houston. He has two children with Kim Ward of Stoughton.
Brown was sentenced to 90 days in prison in June 2004 for missing three months' worth of child support payments to Ward. That sentence was immediately suspended after Brown made back payments totaling about $15,000.

Jaclyn Smith's Cancer Scare
Jaclyn Smith
The passing of DANA REEVE to lung cancer has turned the media spotlight back to cancer.
Now, "Charlie's Angels" star JACLYN SMITH is talking about the day she learned she had breast cancer three years ago. "I thought immediately, 'Am I going to be here to watch my children grow up?'" Jaclyn recalls. "You go to that dark place, and then you enlighten yourself and you realize that there's light there."
Jaclyn's lump was discovered in July 2002 after a routine checkup at the doctor. She considered having a mastectomy but after doing some research learned that a lumpectomy and radiation were just as effective.
"We got it early, it was small and my nodes were negative," she says. "Thank goodness I was married to a doctor."
Her husband is a pediatric heart surgeon. Ironically, Jaclyn's diagnosis came 15 years after fellow "Charlie's Angel" KATE JACKSON had the illness. Jaclyn says friends and family helped her through the radiation treatment, and today she says she believes in the power of organic foods, exercise and early detection.
"It is not a death sentence," she says. "Today the survival rate with negative nodes is 98 percent."
SourceHatcher Discloses She Was Sexually Abused
Teri Hatcher
Teri Hatcher, one of the stars of ABC's "Desperate Housewives," says in the upcoming issue of Vanity Fair that her uncle sexually molested her 35 years ago.
The 41-year-old actress says she learned in 2002 that a 14-year-old victim of her uncle had committed suicide. Concerned that he would escape charges of molestation, Hatcher approached the prosecutors.
"This is something I've tried to hide my whole life," Hatcher tells the magazine, which hits newsstands Friday with the actress on the cover.
"I was just blown away by this young girl's pain," she says. "I thought, boy, that's really close to being me. Any day of the week I could feel that sort of pain. I haven't tried to kill myself, but I've certainly thought about it."
After Hatcher came forward, her uncle, Richard Hayes Stone, then 64-years-old, pleaded guilty to four counts of child molestation in the case of the 14-year-old victim and received 14 years in prison.
Chuck Gillingham, the Santa Clara County deputy district attorney in California, said, "Without Teri, this case would have been dismissed."Hatcher said she hesitated because she thought tabloids would suggest she was trying to resuscitate her then-languishing career: "Here's what I anticipated. He did this, he gets off, and Teri ends up on the cover of a tabloid."
Hatcher said she was 5-years-old living in Sunnyvale, Calif., with her family when Stone would manipulate situations to get him and Hatcher alone in his car so he could take advantage of her.
"These are haunting things that I've remembered all my life," she says.
Vanity Fair said it contacted Stone's attorney, Eric Geffon, who declined to comment, and that it could not reach Stone in prison before going to press. An after-hours phone call to Geffon on Tuesday by The Associated Press was not returned.
As many victims of sexual abuse do, Hatcher says she had complicated feelings about the abuse. She didn't see her uncle after she was 8- or 9-years-old, and never told her parents, though she thinks they suspected.
"I think their way of dealing with things is denial and guilt," she says. "Nobody wanted to talk about it. But all I did was blame myself."
Hatcher's career was revived with the hit "Desperate Housewives," for which she's twice been nominated for a Golden Globe, winning last year.
"I have so much pain," she says. "I'm a woman who carries around all these layers of fear and vulnerability. I'm trying to be my powerful me."

Dana Reeve's Final Moments
Will and Dana Reeve
DANA REEVE lost her battle with lung cancer on Monday night at the age of 44. Now, we have the latest on the final moments of CHRISTOPHER REEVE's widow. Plus, we go inside her and the 'Superman' star's longtime romance.
"There have been times, I don't know, just little moments where you don't think you're being particularly romantic but they make a big impression," Christopher said back in 1994.
"I was out for a bike ride one day and I just stopped by the roadside and spent fifteen minutes picking wild flowers from the field and I tied them together with a rubber band. And she was having a rehearsal of a play and I ran to somebody and said, 'Take these in to her.'"
He said that one small gesture made a lasting impact on Dana. "She's been talking about that for years," he said. "All I did was pick a couple, but they actually came from me and I made a little effort. I think people want to know that their partner made an effort, a real effort and not a symbolic one."
Family friend JANE SEYMOUR says the love between them was obvious.
"When Chris called me and told me he had found the love of his life he described Dana as a beautiful woman who sang like an angel," Jane says. "She was his angel. She showed us all the true power of love -- an unflinching optimist who never let anything get her down, and if she did she never showed us."
Seymour remembers Dana as a positive, uplifting friend. "She was an amazing mother who tried to give Will and Chris a normal family life despite the difficulties," she says.
"She tirelessly helped Chris fight for stem cell research and the rights for those who were paralyzed. Her life made a huge difference to us all. She was a true inspiration who always brought a smile and her sense of humor to every occasion."
After Christopher and Dana's untimely deaths, many now wonder what will happen with their 13-year-old son WILL. KATHY LEWIS, president of the Christopher Reeve Foundation, assures that he is surrounded by loved ones. "Will is in the loving arms of family and friends," she tells ET.
Dana, a non-smoker, announced her lung cancer diagnosis last August and at that time told ET she was shocked by the news: "What I didn't know is that lung cancer is the number one cancer. I was always looking for breast, the brain and ovarian and uterine, and you think I'm a non-smoker and I live in the country, so I'm good. So I am completely shocked."
In November of last year, Dana appeared publicly for the first time since the announcement and continued to stay active, including singing at a tribute to hockey great MARK MESSIER just two months ago. She even sat down with ET on January 12, where she reported that her therapy was going well and her tumor was shrinking.
But Dana succumbed to the disease on March 6 when she died at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Medical Center in New York.
Reeve's good friend ROBIN WILLIAMS was saddened by the news. "The brightest light has gone out," he said. "We will forever celebrate her loving spirit."
Inspired by her husband, who died of heart failure in 2004, the inspirational Reeve had taken up stem-cell research and became chairman of the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation.
Reeve was known for the strong support of her 'Superman' husband, whom she took care of for years after a horseback riding incident left him paralyzed in 1995.
Watch ET tonight for more on Dana Reeve's sad death.
