Lohan to play Playboy bunny, Not so great <i>Sex</i>pectations

KEY POINTS:

We all know that Sex and The City's Carrie Bradshaw has the occasional slip when it comes to dress sense.
Well, if these recent snaps are to be believed, Carrie's been lobotomised and whacked with the ugly fashion stick. Take a look at this get-up she was spotted wearing on the set of the film.
This half harlequin, half hippy look is enough to make me die inside. There's sartorial sin, and there's downright nasty. Ironic? I think not.
In other Sex news...
* My spies also tell me that the producers of the movie have scrapped plans for Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris Noth to sing the film's theme tune. They've wisely decided it was a naff idea and would have left people chundering in the aisles. Thank God for that.
* A 'fight' breaks out on the set of the Sex and The City movie.
* Random footage of the cosmopolitan New York ladies filming can be seen here and here.
Lohan to play Playboy bunny
Ah, Lindsay Lohan. Now that you're fresh out of rehab, how are you planning to celebrate your newfound piety and sobriety?
How about a drastic change in lifestyle, perhaps? Some serious pampering, a spot of knitting on the side and some chamomile tea?
Or, you could get your kit off and cavort around half-naked for director Brett Ratner.
Somehow, I think you'll be opting for the latter.
Yes, rehab queen Lindsay Lohan is being lined up to play the part of a Playboy bunny in an upcoming biopic of dirty old man Hugh Heffner's, well, life - but only if she stays sober.
Ratner, whose signed on to direct the film, told E! Online: "She is very talented - if she is sober. She would be great as a Playboy Bunny."
Clever tactic there, Ratner. Stay sober, and the part is yours, darling. But only IF you manage to stick to your teetotalling ways.
Here's to your sobriety, darling!
Bobby's one finger salute
Rapper Bobby Brown's lawyer has confirmed that the 'star' did indeed suffer a heart attack this week
"They did diagnose him as suffering from a mild heart attack. They attributed it to stress and diet."
But that's not the full story now is it, legal eagle Phaedra Parks?
My spies inform me that the notoriously petulant Brown was so convinced he was dying, he made a video for those he'd leave behind - and stuck a finger up at ex-wife Whitney Houston. Ouch.
Brown, 38, taped the parting message while in hospital after suffering from a tightening of the chest on Tuesday evening.
The video is alleged to show Brown telling his current girlfriend Alicia Etheridge that he loves her, and then proceeding to lift his arm and stick his middle finger up at Whitney.
Former druggie Brown, whose name is often used as slang by drug dealers to describe Heroin, insists his hospital visit was NOT drug related.
Wino's potty hands
It's official: Amy Winehouse has the grossest celebrity hands I've ever seen.
Forget Madonna's veiny claws, or Sarah Jessica Parker's elongated talons, Winehouse wins the prize for ugliest hands, hands down (sorry).
Amy, when your mitts are that foul, it's time to scrub up and admit that you have a problem. I suggest you pen another single to the tune of "yes, yes, yes to rehab!"
And as for that birds nest-like hair and blonde streak, don't even get me started.
Obligatory Britney clip
Britney goes topless in uncut version of her new video. Shock horror.
Odd is the only word I can best use to describe this uncut version of the new Britney single Gimme More.
It has all the hallmarks of a Britney video: scantily-clad, grey cell challenged woman who is red of neck and low on talent cavorts around a pole with her puppies out.
What's odd is that the video looks like it's been filmed using a cameraphone.
The quality is poor, and the music is obscured by what I can only describe by what sounds like a bunch crickets on heat.
Gimme More? I'm not giving you any more, Britney. It's time you were off, babe. Be off with you and join you redneck cousins to distil moonshine and chew "tabaca".
Kylie's comeback video
The new video for Kylie's first single 2 Hearts is on the Interwebnet. Take a peek here.
Hoff the wagon
David Hasselhoff's hospital visit this week was linked to alcohol poisoning, my spies inform me.
His reps called it a "relapse". All I can say is that it must have been one hell of a bender you went on, Hoff. Still, if you're going to go off the wagon, you might as well do it in style.
Poor Hoff. The man needs some love and support.
As for how Hoff is doing, his rep says he checked out of the hospital and he's fine.
Lopez pregnant
Us Weekly insists that Jenny from the block Lopez is indeed pregnant. Four months gone, to be exact.
However, don't ask Lopez if she's pregnant. She'll deny it all and hide under a cape.
Fast gossip:
Warning: some of these websites contain swearing.
* Amy Winehouse is still a mess: Hollywood Rag
* Charlie Sheen murdered a sex doll: Mollygood
*Paris Hilton is dating a pizza delivery boy: RR
* John Travolta wants to fly the Spice Girls around in their jet: SOW
* Ben Affleck is a bigger failure than previously believed: The Blemish
