Remember that whole flap we told you about a couple of months ago, where budding Scientologist Will Smith was accused of being a big fan of Hitler? (He’s not, of course. He just thinks Hitler could have cleaned up his act with a little help from L. Ron.) Quick follow-up: Smith sued the World Entertainment News Network in London’s High Court for misrepresenting his words, and today he won “an undisclosed sum of damages,” which he says he’s donating to charity. Yeah, there are all sorts of organizations that could use the money, Will: Narconon, Criminon, Applied Scholastics, the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project…

I Am Litigious
Pop star Aaron Carter has been arrested for drug possession in Texas. Yesterday he was stopped for speeding and cops turned up two ounces of marijuana during a search of his Escalade. He spent the night in jail and is awaiting arraignment.
I can’t name a single one of his songs, but I know that he used to date both Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff (and it caused some kind of major fallout between the two girls), he’s the little brother of a Backstreet Boy, and there was some drama about him spending a night with Michael Jackson at Neverland a few years back.
Aaron discussed all of that with People magazine in 2004, and responded to the Jacko thing pretty forcefully:
“I don’t do drugs. I didn’t do them with Michael Jackson and I don’t do them with anyone else.”
To be honest, I find it hard to blame the kid for smoking up. It seeks like he’s spent most of life in a vortex of sucky celebrities.
Nicole’s Baby Fish Mouth
You might recall Nicole Kidman’s denial of her use of any cosmetic enhancements a few months back:
“To be honest, I am completely natural. I have nothing in my face or anything.”
So the trout pout that she debuted in Japan yesterday at another premiere of The Golden Compass must be due to the pregnancy curves she’s been sporting lately, right?
This is quite unusual because two days ago, her lips looked, well, normal.
Japanese technology will never cease to amaze me. Next thing you know, they’ll have invented something to help me keep my hair out of my lunch. I have such a hard time with that.
