KEY POINTS:
Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino doesn't do mornings.
The petulant star was spotted at the Sundance Film Festival this week popping out for a morning coffee, and he spat the dummy when an onlooker started filming his expedition.
Emerging from a Starbucks with his crabbychino, Tarantino flew into a rage and mouthed off when someone had the nerve to roll the film.
"What's going on here?" the director asks, before appearing to slap the paparazzi in full view of a bemused crowd.
Watch the grump-fest here.
C'mon Tarantino, you're at a film festival, for heaven's sake. And being documented by paps is part of the fame game.
I'm not a big fan of the paparazzi, but I think you're reaction was slightly OTT.
I have a message for you: Your proctologist called. They found your head.
This isn't the first time the director has been involved in a scrap.
In 1997, he was sued by Don Murphy, a US film producer, for $5,000,000. Tarantino allegedly attacked the producer in a restaurant, slammed him against the wall, and punched him.
Super Kylie
God bless Saint Kylie.
As Britney Spears' life spins out of control, pop princess Kylie zeros in on the troubled singer and offers her some help.
Kylie's no stranger to public downfalls herself - a career nosedive in the nineties, questionable boyfriends - but she's managed to march her way through it with consummate professionalism.
So, it's with open arms that Brit should embrace the pint-sized singer's wise words.
Kylie said: "I wish someone would write a manual about fame because it's not easy. I'm always loath to say that because there are a lot more difficulties out there that people deal with every day - but when fame is handed to you, it is unique.
"It's not to the same extreme, but I can remember having a mini-meltdown myself - and unless you've got good people around to support you, you've got a problem.
"Who knows what is going on in her life? Britney isn't that young any more. I think she will still come back but it's like she's taken an extended holiday.
"Whatever help she needs, she should reach out and get it."
We heart you, Kylie.

Little things...
Remember Verne Troyer?
He was the tiny actor who played Mike Myers' Mini Me sidekick in those annoying Austin Powers flicks.
Well, the diminutive one was spotted leaving the Ivy restaurant with some mystery woman this week.
But that's not the gossip...
As Troyer was leaving the celeb hangout he was accosted by a pap that saw fit to tell the dwarf that his wife was on the brink of suicide.
Not only that, but the pap also informed Troyer that he's left her penniless and now she's addicted to drugs and in a mental hospital.
Watch the strange encounter here.
Big boobie withdrawals
Aussie singer Peter Andre has spoken out about his wife Jordan's recent breast reduction.
Andre tells Loaded Magazine that he actually misses wifey's former cleavage.
"I used to think just a little more than a handful was plenty enough and I was simply into legs and bums, but Katie and her amazing boobs changed my mind, big time. Once I had those babies in front of my eyes I was a changed man.
"I often get asked what Katie's breasts feel like and I can tell you that they feel amazing. And very, very real. And very heavy."
That's just way too much information.
He adds, "I secretly thought they might have been too big for her body at one point. To be honest, she wasn't even my type. I don't mean she wasn't pretty, but those fake breasts and blonde hair wasn't what I'd normally go for. However, a few nights alone with her and I soon knew what all the fuss was about."
Are you boasting on complaining, Andre? She's all yours, mate!
The Nightmare begins...
For no reason other than financial greed, Hollywood is splicing together a remake of classic horror film A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Being an ardent blood and gore fan, I think I just died a little inside.
Variety reports that Michael Bay is in the process of preparing the script as we speak. Filing is due to begin in May.
Why tinker with something that's already a classic?
Hollywood is clearly experiencing an ideas drought and is hell-bent on making money from old rope.
Green all over
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and if Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't watch out, his ex Kirsten Dunst could be making moves to snag him back.
The Spiderman actress is reportedly not over their romance.
And to add insult to injury, Gyllenhaal appears to have his feet well and truly under new love Reese Witherspoon's table.
Star magazine claims Dunst has been seen crying in public on several occasions.
Thankfully, Dunst can rely on her friends in times of crisis. Well, the ones who don't shoot off to a tabloid, that is.
A 'friend' says: "Seeing photos of him out with her kids is just too much to handle. She always thought she and Jake would reunite, but now those dreams have faded."
Oh Dunst, who needs men and marriage anyway? Marriage? No thanks. I can't mate in captivity.
Scientology scare
Tiny Tom Cruise's wife Katie Holmes is reportedly unimpressed with her man's appearance in those ridiculous Scientology videos that emerged last week.
MSN says: "A distraught Katie Holmes has stormed out of a crisis meeting with her husband Tom Cruise, furious over damaging publicity about his Scientology beliefs, and humiliated over the disastrous reaction to the movie he told her to make.
"The actress is said to be inconsolable after a string of leaked Scientology videos have flooded the internet and divided Hollywood...Katie had already been forced to fend off questions about Andrew Morton's controversial book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography. While at first Katie put on a brave face, declaring that she and Tom weren't bothered by the book, after this new scandal she can no longer ignore the Hollywood backlash..."
I don't know about you, but I always thought there was something a bit Stepford Wives about Tom and Katie's marriage.
I mean, does Holmes ever speak? Does she actually have a pulse?
This latest setback for Cruise is obviously a minor glitch - he'll just get wifey re-programmed and re-wired.
They're so out there...
The long arm of Scientology knows no bounds.
Longtime Scientology stalwart Nancy Cartwright - the voice of Bart Simpson - allegedly coughed up an eye-popping $10 million (NZ$12 million) to the church last year, to help it spread the word according to founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Pagesix.com says the donation was all part of "Scientology's Global Salvage effort, which aims to 'de-aberrate' Earth - meaning to rid mankind of psychology ills and other 'aberrant' behavior.
Interestingly, the website also claims Cartwright coughed up twice as much as the cult's show dog, Tom Cruise, who only parted with a paltry $5 million (NZ$6 million)
Seriously, Tom, I question your commitment.
Britishney's back
Britney Spears' alter-ego, the pink haired potty mouth with a refined British accent, has made yet another appearance.
The pink prat got lippy with a pap yesterday when he had the cheek to try and open her car door for her.
Watch Lady Pink in action here.
Pink Britney doesn't like gays either, apparently. Lady Spears, in her best British accent, exchanged words with a pap and asked him where his "f**k buddy" was, and told him "gay videos are in."
Video here.
Drink and dial
A broad from Fox Lake, Wisconsin was given a ticket by police for operating (a vehicle) while intoxicated (OWI).
Pat Dykstra was driving home from a night on the town when she felt compelled to dial 911 to inform police that she was probably too drunk to drive.
Here's a snippet of the call:
Caller: I just want to know if somebody can follow me home because somebody seems to think I can't drive home straight.
911: OK, why is that?
Caller: He seems to think I am too intoxicated to drive.
911: OK, and so you called 9-1-1 or he called 9-1-1?
Caller: Well, he wanted me to call 9-1-1 'cause he thinks I'm too drunk to drive.
The caller then gave cops a detail description of the car she was driving and her home address.
She arrived home and was met by awaiting cops who gave her a breathalyzer.
She blew a .14.
Listen to an audio clip of the driver's call.
