Lil' Kim B.I.G. Full of B.S.
That well-hyped Notorious B.I.G. biopic is getting good buzz -– but at least one person has some big issues with it.
Namely, rapperista Lil' Kim, who says the flick is studded with "many lies" and that her own role in the movie is "a false portrayal of me." Ex-con Kim claims she was Biggie's girl for some time and was mentored by him as well.
Big's mom's response? "This is not a Lil Kim movie. It has nothing to do with Lil Kim. If she's disappointed and upset, that is her problem."
SJP and Matthew -- Separate in the City
Never in the same place at the same time, rumored-to-be-splitting-up couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick dodged our questions -- and each other -- in NYC this weekend.

Lindsay Lohan has been in several nuclear fights with GF Samantha Ronson in the last few weeks. She's now confirming the obvious in a not-so-subtle way.

Buster Bluth Busts Open 'Arrested' Movie Rumors

Oh, and it also looks like they're going to go ahead with that movie.
Straight Talk About Lance Bass
Remember when Lance Bass was straight? Lance's ex girlfriend Danielle Fishel -- better known as Topanga from "Boy Meets World" -- has a recollection.
Pete Doherty Not All He's Cracked Up to Be
The female Amy Winehouse is back, sorta.
It's been ages since we heard about the Babyshamble and Kate Moss ex, and guess what he's up to now -- ditching a gig. (Shocker, obviously.) NME.com reports Pete was supposed to turn up for a gig over the weekend in London, and bailed "at the 11th hour -- just before he was due on."
The no-show was blamed on an "arm injury." Doherty spent several weeks in jail earlier this year for violating his probation.
Kook vs. Kardashians
Kooky Courtney Love took to her MySpace blog to trash Robert Kardashian -- and now the whole family is hella pissed!
C. Love accused the Kardashian bro of a hate crime -- saying he attacked one of her employees and repeatedly called him a faggot. Courtney says she tried reporting the incident to cops, but they brushed her off. If she was as incoherent in person as she is online, it's not really that startling.
The Kardashian family is none-too-pleased. A rep for the fam tells us, "We are so saddened to hear that someone is blogging this insanity on Christmas Eve. Everything this apparently unstable person writes is obviously untrue and we will forward this terrible nonsense to our attorneys. Merry Christmas!"
And a Happy New Year.
Oprah -- Not Movin' On Up to D.C.
There's a rumor going around Oprah's about to drop $50 mil on a mansion in DC, so she can be closer to the Obama White House.
But Oprah's peeps tell TMZ -- no truth to this at all. In fact, some DC real estate sources say there's exactly one house in the District even approaching that price -- an estate called Evermay -- and Oprah hasn't looked at it.
That said, Oprah's likely to hang inside the Beltway -- but we're guessing it'll be in the Lincoln Bedroom.
Ripa: See, We're Happy ... Promise!
In a move just as suspicious as John & Jen's public gropefest, their double date couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos put on their happy faces too -- the same month one rag published a cover story saying they're headed for divorce.
Janet Jackson -- Oven Is Cold
Everyone is still buzzing about Janet Jackson and her possibly being pregs. Her guy, Jermaine Dupri, doth protest once again ... and possibly too much?
"No she is not pregnant and yes we're still together," says JD, on his blog. "It baffles me how y'all let these blog and magazines control your lifes [sic]." After Janet ditched her tour, the rumors flew.
Speculation also has frothed that the pair is splitting up. Again, not true.
"Price" Winner's Final Bid -- I Didn't Cheat!
While conspiracy theorists are raining down on "The Price Is Right" miracle, the dude who nailed the value of his showcase -- to the dollar -- is declaring there was no funny business, just crazy-ass skill.
In a radio interview with DJ Andy Gil on 93.1 in Las Vegas, Terry Kniess explained how he called the exact price of not only his final showcase, but also the initial item up for bid that got him onstage. His trick: he watches the show A LOT.
Terry had already seen the "large, green egg ceramic cooker" on the show three weeks before -- so he knew it was $1175. As for his strategy for the Showcase Showdown -- you'll just have to listen.
Madonna Calls BS on Her Own Rep
So like most of us you were wondering why Madonna's rep came out firing brazenly the other day with a "payout" figure to the AP.
Turns out it was wrong, at least according to Madge and Guy. They say in a joint statement to TMZ, "A misleading and inaccurate statement, specifically in relation to the sums of money involved, was wrongly issued to AP this week.The financial details of the settlement will remain private, save to say that both of us are happy with our agreement. Our primary concern, like any co-parents, is the care and well being of our children."
We contacted Liz Rosenberg to ask her what the hell happened, but haven't heard back.
McGraw -- I Ain't Smart Enough to Gov ... Yet
Tim McGraw isn't gunning for Tennessee Gov just yet -- he says he's got to get "a lot smarter" before he does.
"There is no truth to this," says McGraw's rep to People, about rumors that spread this weekend. "It's something he is interested in, but not for 2010. Later in life." McGraw was reportedly being groomed for a run at the Governor's office by Tennessee Dems.
He's said before, "I would want to do it just to say I did it. I think I gotta get a lot smarter between now and then!"
Denise Will Do Almost Anything for $$
For Denise Richards, it's more than complicated –- it's desperate.
A "longtime pal" tells the Chicago Sun-Times Denise is very worried about what's to become of her if/when her reality show gets the axe. "She's willing to do just about anything and take any role that's not pure porn," says the pal. (What are friends for?)
Her most recent credits besides "It's Complicated" include something called "Blonde and Blonder" and an upcoming movie ... from Bollywood.
