Britney to Paris: I Blame You!

According to Page Six, Britney is enraged with her manager, Larry Rudolph, for introducing her to "nemesis" Hilton last November -- and reportedly gave him the axe for it last week. But as of this morning, TMZ could not confirm that Rudolph was actually fired ... yet.

As TMZ first reported, Paris thought of herself as a role model for Spears, and even claimed that Britney was "grateful to be under Paris' wing."

But shortly after the alliance had been formed, the lovefest crashed hard and the two haven't partied together since.

Paris' rep, Eliot Mintz, fired back at the Page Six article, telling TMZ, "That's a matter between Britney, Larry and Leslie (Britney's old again, new again PR rep)."

Calls to Britney's reps were not immediately returned.

Leaving borefriend John Mayer at home, a brunette-tressed Jessica Simpson stepped out to Element in a low-cut gazongas-enhancing top, then headed to Parc and then Winston's -- talk about a party train!

While walking her girls from Parc to a faraway parking lot, Jess had a close run-in with a dreadlocked homeless man, who was curious as to why everyone was taking pictures of her. Her sarcastic reply -- "I don't know." Simpson's leather-clad Nick Lachey-alike then stepped in and shielded her from the curious streetperson.

A short time later, TMZ caught Simpson near the end of her uplifted barhopping adventure, telling photographers outside of her final stop, Winston's, that she didn't have any fun at the hotspot, however, photographers and onlookers had fun wherever Jess and the girls appeared.

Katie Holmes is finally in Louisiana to shoot her new movie – could she be sending messages to the world through her role? When asked why she likes her character in the upcoming "Mad Money," Holmes tells the Shreveport Times, "She's ... a little bit misunderstood ... She's a type of person who creates a happier environment than she's actually in. ... I like that about her. She's a free spirit." Speaking of being a free spirit, Holmes escaped the clutches of Tom to visit a local Target, says the Times, and "met some really great people."

Anna Nicole Smith's diaries are in the bargain bin after failing to sell over the weekend – and they can now be yours for $25,000 apiece. "We have a buy-it-now situation," said Doug Norwine of Heritage Auction Galleries of Dallas, to the AP. Two people had bid on the diaries, but pulled out when they got skittish about allegations that the diaries were stolen. This is no doubt very bad news to the nameless German businessman who paid more than $500,000 for the diaries several weeks ago.
