We all know there's no love lost between serial party girl Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton - but it looks like the acrimony between the warring starlets has notched up a gear.
Lohan may have kissed goodbye to a huge pay check - thanks to her ongoing feud with wonky-eyed Hilton.
Li-Lo was reportedly presenting at a fashion show this week and allegedly stormed out half-way through the show after discovering that rival Hilton's handbag range was one of its sponsors.
Show organisers were reportedly so incensed by Li-Lo's hissy fit, they are now said to be refusing to cough up her appearance fee - reportedly $43,000 for just two hours' work.
The Sun reports that Li-Lo then incensed organisers even more by '"swiping a bag containing an array of expensive items on her way out.'"
Once a freeloader, always a freeloader. You go Li-Lo, and take that tacky fake tan with you.
Bad form
The newspaper also claims that Li-Lo's dramatic exit was quickly forgotten when Hilton later made an appearance with new beau Benji Madden, and '"stole the show.'"
Ouch.
Show organiser Claus Hjelmbak: '"I'm grossly disappointed in Lindsay for not fulfilling her contractual duties.
'"But Paris truly saved the night. She was very gracious to everyone - and was the life of the party.'"
The spat between Li-Lo and Hilton has been going on for ages, and things escalated somewhat recently when Hilton allegedly banned her rival from attending any of her extravagant parties.
Saucer of milk for table two, please; talk about catty.
Britney's father on 'knickerwatch'
Former pop sensation Britney Spears' penchant for roaming the streets of Los Angeles without any knickers on is a thing of the past.
Spears' name was once synonymous with going commando, and epitomised the unsightly trend for celebrity vixens that chose to flash their vajayjays over vanity and self-respect.
But Spears has reportedly turned a new leaf - at her father's insistence - who now checks the wayward singer is wearing underwear before she leaves the house.
Jamie Spears, who is now in charge of his daughter's affairs, is said to be fed up with his daughter's revealing fashion sense and is determined that Spears' pantyless days are behind her.
A source tells the National Enquirer: '"Jamie makes sure to ask Britney if she has underwear on before she goes out.'"
Even the popwreck's assistant, Bret, is in on the '"cover up'" strategy and reminds Spears to wear a bra and underwear.
The source adds: '"Britney tries to ignore their requests, but her dad is adamant and insists she change if she's falling out of her top.'"
Meanwhile, Spears has now been ordered to cough up some of her dwindling moolah to pay ex Kevin Federline's legal bills.
The legal fees pertain to Federline and Spears' ongoing child custody case.
Spear's lawyer, Stacy Phillips, has reportedly protested that his client had been overcharged by Federline's attorney, and asked that her former lover contribute to his own bills.
But Los Angeles Court Commissioner Scott Gordon deduced that it was '"reasonable'" to make Britney pay a hefty slice of the fees because '"the actions of [Spears] caused the great majority of litigation.'"

There really is no limit to the indignities that Spears will endure.
So it all sounds like no news, but I'm not above reporting it. And neither are you above reading it. See, we're cohorts in this world of celebrity warfare.
Naked ambition
Who wants to see Amy Winehouse in the buff? Me neither.
Here she is anyway posing in the nude, bar from some strategically placed gaffa tape and a guitar, for Living magazine.
Her state of undress isn't the result of some drug-fuelled fantasy...it's all in the name of charity - Wino posed for photographer Carolyn Djangoly to raise awareness about breast cancer among young women.
Hurrah!
This is wrong...
...on so many levels. This is why some dog owners should be prosecuted.
Call the SPCA.
Sex in Charlotte's City
Celebrity news website TMZ.com has potentially solved the mystery surrounding Sex and The City star Kristin Davis' alleged porn snaps.
TMZ confirms that the saucy snaps were taken way back in 1992, when Davis was 27, by her then boyfriend Eric Stapelman.
The salacious photos were 'leaked' to the media after Stapelman allegedly became irate with Davis for reasons only known to himself - he then sold the piccies to a third party, who reportedly had the piccies stolen from him.
Tack-a-rama!
Davis' rep still maintains that the lass in the snaps is not her.

United front
Celeb gossip tart Perez Hilton ran a story yesterday commenting on what he claimed to be Madonna and Guy Richie's lame attempt to put on a united front as rumours of a marriage breakdown hounds them.
Perez commented on this piccie and roped in a body language '"expert'", Dr. Perezian, to decipher what the couple are really saying to each other.
'"Look at them. Their bodies are not in unison,'" said Dr. P. '"They are not holding hands, and Madonna is covering her mouth - as if she's trying to hide something. They are so over. I give their marriage another six months!'"
What do you think?
Do one, Mucca!
British PR king Max Clifford has some words of wisdom for millionaire moneybags Heather Mills - just quietly disappear.
Amen.
Had she but a modicum of decency and self-respect '"Mucca should avoid any further embarrassment and vanish without a word,'" Clifford reportedly said.
'"I can't remember a public humiliation like it,'" he says. '"You only have to look at some of today's headlines to see it's been a total disaster.
'"She should have kept her head down, instead of attacking Paul the way she did so openly on television. She clearly upset the court; you saw that with the judge's comments. From every way it was a mistake.
'"She should quietly disappear; concentrate on enjoying her money and looking after her little one.
'"Realistically she can't continue to tell everyone she's the victim. She's the girl that cried wolf, and she's cried wolf too many times.'"

Puppy love
This is Pink trying her best to rescue a stray dog on a busy LA freeway.
Sadly, the pooch took one look at the singer and bolted it down the freeway. Can't imagine why...Pink's such a placid and mild-mannered soul.
Harry Puffer
Boy wizard star Daniel Radcliffe has reportedly developed a nasty habit while filming on the set of the latest Harry Potter flick.
Harry Potter has swapped his treasured wand for a cigarette - and he's reportedly hooked on the dirty cancer sticks.
His co-stars are said to be urging the actor to quit his now 20-a-day cigarette habit - because they're concerned about his health.
He's so hooked, his fellow cast members have reportedly nicknamed him 'Harry Puffer'.
A source says: '"Everytime they call '"cut'", he lights up. It's disgusting. Friends and co-stars including Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have been warning him about the dangers of smoking. But he doesn't take any notice.'"
Bang goes that angelic halo above Radcliffe's head - only to be quickly replaced by a toxic smoke ring.

No ER return
Despite what you may have read, gorgeous George Clooney has no plans to return to medical drama ER.
The net's been buzzing with the rumour that Clooney wanted to reprise his role as Dr. Doug Ross when the show returns to US screens later this year.
But in an interview with Entertainment Tonight Canada, Clooney was asked if he is indeed returning to the NBC show. '"No, never - we never even talked about it. No one has ever asked me. It's the funniest thing. The story came out, and I was like 'Where did that come from?' It was everywhere - I mean in one day!'"

Ledger's family feud
Sadly, it looks like the stink over the handling of Heath Ledger's estate simply refuses to go away.
People.com is now reporting that Ledger's uncles are yet again speaking out and protesting over his father Kim's handling of his assets - saying he has '"a bad track record of estate management.'"
Their anger stems from Kim's alleged mishandling of their grandfather's estate 15 years ago in Australia - which reportedly led to Kim being removed as executor.
'"It plunged into enormous debt,'" Mike Ledger, one of Kim's brothers, tells People.

Seal: 'You're scum!'
Yet more proof that paparazzi are becoming more and intrusive and parasitic when it comes to hounding celebs.
Seal and Heidi Klum were spotted by a swarm of paps as they waited for their ride outside an LA restaurant last night, and Seal went off on one.
Goaded and teased by the paps, Seal branded the snappers '"Scum'" and proceeded to deflect their series inane questions...while Klum stood by her man silently. Very alpha male of Seal...grrrrr!
The paps in this clip behave no better than a pack of spiteful schoolgirls.
It's amazing how Seal managed to keep his cool and resist the temptation to lash out and stuff one of the pap's wide angle jobbies up their proverbial asses.
Go here.
