Looks like Beverly Hills 90210 is losing its leading man.  Actor Dustin Milligan, who plays Ethan Ward, has been let go from the show, according to EW.com.  This will be a huge shake up for the show, as Dustin’s character is part of one of the show’s central couples. 

An insider says that the decision to let Dustin go was not personal, but rather creative. “Everyone loves Dustin. There was just a feeling that the character had run its course.”

The news of his dismissal follows closely on the heels of an announcement that resident bad boy Liam (played by Matt Lanter) will be a regular next year.

So I guess it’s true:  nice guys do finish last. 

Well, well, well.  Seems like Daddy Spears, who has whole heartedly taken credit for his daughter’s recent return from Crazyville, may not be the concerned father he’s always trying to portray to the media.  In a recently leaked voice message left back in January by Britney, the pop singer reminds a lawyer that she wants to break the conservatorship.  Seems Daddy Spears has been threatening to take Brit’s kids away from her.  Tsk, tsk.  And the drama continues!

God help us all!  The wonderfully old talented New Kids on the Block have announced that they will once again be touring this upcoming summer. Soccar Moms, rejoice!

Betcha Zac Efron though that by being a big Hollywood star he’d miss out on all the bullying and getting picked on that can happen in high school.  Well, think again, Zac. It seems that there was an unfortunate picture taken of him and his, ahem, ear wax and now the paparazzi is having some fun with the young star.  Zac and girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens were leaving Beso’s after celebrating a friend’s birthday when the couple was attacked, not by cameras, but Q-tips!  The couple laughed it off, but it’s a firm reminder that one false step and even the mighty popular can fall a bit. 

Contrary to the recent rumors about Twilight’s Robert Patterson and his lack of personal hygiene, the teen heart throb does, indeed, shower.  And he’s gone on the record to say so.

In an online interview, Patterson clears up the air about gossip and cleaning.  Despite the rumors that someone on the set of New Moon complained that Rob stunk, the actor has never even been on the set.  And yes, folks, he does shower. 

Now let’s move on to something more important, like boxers or briefs, shall we?

Despite all the rumors over the past few months and her character’s cancer story-line, Katherine Heigl says she isn’t actively trying to leave Grey’s Anatomy. 

In an interview with US magazine, Heigl says that while she wants to stick around the hit TV show, she has no idea what’s in store for her character, Izzie.  Izzie was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and even though her brain surgery was a success, there is only a 5% chance that she will live.

At a party celebrating the shows 100^th episode, Heigl told the associated press that “I was assuming that [Izzie would die] at one point, and I got a lot of shrugged shoulders and shakes of the head, so I don’t know if that’s a yes or a no. No one will tell me and I don’t know how this is going to go.”

Series creator Shonda Rhimes is staying closed mouthed about Izzie’s fate, as well as what goes on during the 100^th episode.

“The only thing I’ll tell you about the 100th is that it takes place on Meredith and Derek’s wedding day. That’s big … and that’s all I’m going to say.”

While I’ve never been a fan of this show, I have been tuning in this season.  Hallucinations, post traumatic stress and a wedding ring being drunkenly pitched into the woods.  What more can I ask for?

While I’m sure it would have been loads of fun to watch Paris Hilton bitch slap someone, the brawl that her and honey Doug Reinhardt were involving in was actually the result of someone man handling the heiress.

According to RadarOnline.com, out for a night of partying at Fontainebleau‘s LIV nightclub Thursday, Paris approached the DJ to request a tune.  It was then that a bodyguard took offense and shoved her out of the way.  Boyfriend Doug came to the rescue, getting into a little melee with the body guard. Words and fists were apparently thrown around although no one was arrested.

Doug ended up with a bloody lip, but Paris wasn’t physically hurt.  Only her pride was damaged. 

Everyone’s favorite train wreck, Courtney Love, is getting her ass sued off by designer Dawn Simorangkir.  The counts against Love are libel, invasion of privacy-false light, intentional interference with a prospective economic advantage, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and two breach of contract charges.  

Apparently Love has been blogging like crazy on her MySpace page and some of what she is saying about Simorangkir isn’t very nice.

According to Simorangkir, Love hired her to design some clothes, but then freaked out and refused to pay for a designer dress when presented with the bill.

So Love has been blogging about the designer on her MySpace page and through Twitter, spreading the hate by referring to Simorangkir as a “drug addict and dealer”. Oh and she also claims that Simorangkir will “end up in a circle of [s]corched earth hunted til your dead.”

Nice, eh?  In response to the lawsuit, Love once again blogged about it on her MySpace account.  I’d tell you about what she wrote, but damned if I can understand her. 

Rapper T.I. was sentenced to a year behind bars for thinking it was okay to buy unregistered silencers and machine guns.  The rapper could have gotten ten years, but plea bargained out for a mere 364 days, plus a load of community work once he’s released.

According to OK! magazine, T.I. will have to pay out a fine of $100,000 plus do 500 hours of community service once he’s released. This is on top of the 1,000 hours he agreed to complete before going to jail. Not wanting to miss out on publicity, he turned some of his community hours into and MTV reality TV show.

For those of us that were hoping that maybe, just maybe it would give us a year long break from his, ahem, music, sorry to disappoint.  T.I. said his career will continue, even while he serves his time.

“I’m still going to be able to make things happen. From where I am I’ll still be able to pull strings, call shots, put things in order that need to be put in order for his[sic] success to bring itself forth.”

Great.

Paris Hilton and her latest boyfriend, ex Hills cast member Doug Reinhart are apparently so cookoo for coco puffs, head over heals in love with each other that they want to make babies!  Yes, folks, Paris is considering procreating.

The pair told In Touch magazine that they’d love to have babies some day. Doug says, “I’d love to have some mini Parises one day.”  God help us.

And according to an insider, Paris thinks Doug is much better Daddy material than her ex Benji Madden.  Apparently Paris “thought she could look past his tattoos and piercings, but Paris wants her children to have a clean-cut father.”

Paris, you are so smart!  You should definitely only take into consideration looks when deciding on having kids with someone.  After all, personality and temperament don’t really factor in, do they?
