And speaking of pissed off ... we got her at Universal Studios Hollywood -- Disney will love that.

Sapp's Massive Head Larger Than It Appears

If voting were up to the cast and crew of "DWTS" -- we're told Warren Sapp would be the first one to go.

Our spies at "DWTS" tell TMZ Sapp may have big personality when the cameras are rolling, but his big head and man-diva attitude are causing problems behind the scenes.

We're told Sapp talks down to everybody (especially the guy dancers and production assistants), yells at people and consistently walks out of rehearsals with partner Kym Johnson.

Move ovah, Shannon Elizabeth!

Alicia Not Keys to Swizz Split

Super-producer Swizz Beatz is splitting with his wife -- but it's not Alicia Keys' fault. So he says.

We've seen Swizz and Alicia out all over the place getting real cozy, but Alicia insists to US Weekly she's not "in any way linked" to his decision to separate. Swizz claims estranged wife Mashonda is trying to smear Alicia.

The ex-couple also have some cash issues -- there's a lien out for $800K in back taxes.

Brit's Mom Didn't Spill Beans

More on Lynne Spears so-called "tell all" book about Britney. Lynne supposedly says a few days before Brit went completely mental, Sam Lutfi said, "If you try to get rid of me, she'll be dead and I'll piss on her grave."

Here's the deal. That story has already been told and, by the way, it's true. Lutfi even told us what he meant was that no one cared about Britney and she'd be dead without him. And, for the record, we never bought Lufti's story.

As for the London Sun getting an advanced copy of Lynne Spears' book -- something's rotten in Denmark. The Sun has said the book claims Britney lost her virginity at 14 and started taking drugs at 15, etc. etc. We're told none of that appears in the book and it's more about Lynne being a heroic mom. For the record, we're not buying that either.

Oprah Caught Between Barack and a Hard Place

There is a war brewing behind the scenes at the Oprah Winfrey show, one that could force Oprah to break her allegiance with Barack Obama -- so Sarah Palin can get some face time.

According to the DrudgeReport.com, members of Oprah's sharply-divided staff are putting serious pressure on the talk show queen to book the first woman on a Republican ticket -- but not everybody is on-board.

A Winfrey insider tells Drudge, "Oprah's website is getting tons of requests to put her on, but Oprah and a couple of her top people are adamantly against it because of Obama."

But after Sarah's star-making coming-out party, how can Oprah NOT book her? Decisions... decisions...

So far, O's peeps refused to comment.

'Dr.Phil' Set Cursed?

A string of bad luck -- including two deaths -- has the staff at the "Dr. Phil" show wondering if their set is cursed.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ in the last few months two employees of the show have passed away and two others suffered medical emergencies. We're told one staffer recently died of cancer, while a young intern who had strep throat was dead by the end of the week. Our sources also tell us the wife of an editor recently suffered a family tragedy, while a producer suffered a concussion and a broken arm while on the Paramount Studios set of the daytime talk show.

Our sources say Phil and other execs have been trying to retool the show for the new upcoming season and that has some staffers feeling the bad luck may be a sign they should leave well enough alone. We're told Phil held a staff meeting this past Friday where he addressed the recent sad turn of events and attempted to boost the crew's morale.

A rep for the "Dr. Phil" show was not immediately reached.

Nanny Got Brad and Angie's Goat

We started getting tips about Brad Pitt and Angelina Joile -- that they never let the kids go out in public with nannies because they want the public to see them as hands-on parents, which means the kids would basically be held hostage in the house unless their parents take them out. Absolutely not true.

We have really good spies in this department and here's what we know. As it was put to us, "Brad and Angelina don't give a f**k what the world thinks of how they're raising their kids." We're told their entire life revolves around the kids, and the houses they stay in are "dirty from the kids" -- with toys everywhere, food on the floor and fingerprints on the walls.

Jean Reno No 911

Notorious screen villain Jean Reno's demise has been greatly exaggerated.

Various outlets are saying Reno was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack in the Caribbean. Not true, says his rep.

She tells us, "Reports that actor Jean Reno is in the hospital due to a heart attack are false. He is vacationing in the Caribbean and went to a local hospital as a precaution for some discomfort he was feeling due to heartburn and gastroenteritis. It was definitely was [sic] not a heart attack. He is fine and healthy and enjoying the rest of his vacation traveling in the Caribbean."

Isabel Wants No Part of Adrian's Entourage

Isabel Lucas broke up with Adrian Grenier, NOT the other way around.

Despite reports to the contrary, Isabel walked out before Shia LaBeouf's car crash. Our spies say right around Adrian's birthday (July 10), Isabel heard a female friend from out of town was coming to visit him. After this, Lucas was blunt ... him having "girl" friends was a deal breaker.

So she ditched him and he's been begging her to come back ever since! We're told Adrian made a play for Isabel after the accident, but she had nada interest in working things out.
