Rubbing
her the wrong way
Now that Singer
Christina Aguilera is a STAH, she's getting the evil eyeball
from various jealous ninnies. The 5-foot-2, 18-year-old burning
up the charts with her hit single "Genie in a Bottle" was
home-schooled. So she lept at the chance to attend her boyfriend's
high school prom in Pittsburgh in May. But when she showed
up, she got killer stares from the other chicks, who paid
her the ultimate insult: When the DJ put on "Genie,'' the
clique left the dance floor "en masse,'' she tells People
magazine. "It was kind of sad,'' she said. "All I want to
do is be normal. But really, it's other people who won't let
me be that way.'' A word of advice: You're gonna be richer
than all of them put together -- get over it!
Then there's the time she went to a high school prom with
TWO dates. "I called my friend Marcy and said, "Let's just
have fun with this. Set me up with a really cute blind date,''
she says in Entertainment Weekly. "But then a friend of mine
was hurt because he wanted to go with me, so I ended up with
two dates.'' Which --again --pissed off the girls: Aguilera
said she ended up talking to mostly guys at the dance in her
hometown of Wexford, Pa. "Only two girls came up to talk to
me. Later, I found out they were telling their boyfriends,
"If you talk to her, I'll kill you.''
Chris
Rock

Heck, lighten
up!
Host Chris
Rock AIN'T apologizing for his ribald comments about singer-actress
Jennifer Lopez's ample butt at the "MTV Video Awards." Rock
rocked the crowd with vicious slings at Britney Spears, the
Backstreet Boys, Ricky Martin, etc. About Lopez, he said:
"She came here with two limos: one for her and one for her
butt.'' That's a knee-slapper, if ever we heard one. But Rock
caught flak.
He told reporters in Los Angeles: "I wasn't anti-Lopez. I
was pro-ass..., Only white people think asses are bad. They
were cheering up in Harlem." Maybe, but 'N Sync was, sniff,
hurt by Rock's zings. "The best revenge for us is to do a
parody of (Rock) in a video," Johnny Wright, the band's manager,
told Entertainment Weekly. "The new video is probably going
to have a (Rock) look-alike in it. Payback's a bitch."
Eminem

My name
is...Mommy Dearest
Goodness,
rapper Eminem's own mama is slapping him with a lawsuit over
the horrible stories he told anybody who would listen about
his horrible, horrible childhood. Debbie Mathers-Briggs says
her 26-year-old enfant terrible implied she was an unstable,
skanky lawsuit-happy druggie who moved around aimlessly during
the rapper's formative years. She wants $10 million from the
little punk. Eminem --whom she named Marshall Bruce Mathers
III obviously just to embarrass him --blabbed to Rolling Stone,
Rap Pages, The Source and "The Howard Stern Show," to name
a few.
Cindy
Crawford

A real
cutup
You'd think
that with guys these days making a major stink and demanding
their foreskins back, new mama Cindy Crawford might've made
the politically correct choice and let the lil tyke keep his.
But she had to take him to the wee-wee cutter. Cowardly Cindy
confesses she had to close her eyes at the bris ceremony for
her boy, Presley.
"I'd never been to one before and I'd probably have chosen
not to (circumcise)," notes the model. "But [Jewish husband]
Rande [Gerber] was understanding about my wanting a home birth,
and, it's like, you have to compromise." By the by, the 3-month-old
IS called Elvis. "Even (by) my doorman," she says. It's the
price he'll have to pay." Don't worry: He'll sue when he grows
up.

ends...

jail time. But the judge said Weiland is "killing himself''
