Star is just bursting with gossip about the hate affair between Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Their most recent report has words to this effect: If Paris and Nicole were out in a wild woods, and Nicole were bitten in her privates by a poisonous snake while she was taking a wee-wee, she would likely die, because there is no way in hell that Paris would suck the venom out. Paris is said to be ticked at her little sister Nicky because Nicky has accepted to be a bridesmaid at Nicole's wedding to Adam Goldstein.
And Nicky has upped the ante by accepting an invitation to Nicole's bachelorette party. There does not appear to be any truth to the rumor that at that party, Jack Black is going to jump out of a cake and fart.
Wagging tongues, however, also say that Lindsay Lohan is partly to blame for the cat fight between Paris and Nicole.

Creative Technology, the Singapore maker of the Zen digital music player, on Tuesday said that Apple Computer's popular iPod and iPod mini music players use Creative's recently patented technology.
Creative said seeking royalties or suing rivals such as Apple were two options open to the company reports AP Apple had no immediate comment.
"We don't rule out any of the alternatives open to us," said Craig McHugh, president of Creative's US division. "It's too early to say we are predisposed to any one of our options, but we will vigorously defend our intellectual property.
"
Analysts said that while it appeared likely Creative would seek royalties from Apple, patent cases such as these could drag out for many years and were highly unpredictable.
"Creative will have a hard time getting its bite out of Apple," said Phil Leigh, analyst at Inside Digital Media.
Creative said it had applied for the patent -- dubbed the Zen patent after its Zen player -- on January 5, 2001, and it was awarded on August 9, 2005.
The U.S. Patent Trademark Office recently rejected a request filed by Apple in October 2002 to patent some of the device's technology.
Microsoft Corp. had filed a similar application in May 2002.
Star is sooooooo mean!
!!!
!! They have to go reporting that the Rolling Stones have a combined age of 245.
Can you imagine such nastiness? Anybody can see they don't look a day over 244. Whereas what used to get the Stones rolling was a ton of drugs followed by two tons of sex, Star intimates that now it takes the knitting of baby booties for grandchildren and the occasional glass of prune juice.
Recently, the gossip world was electric with the news of Keith Richards' having said that Mick Jagger is hung like a girl. It is rumored that he later apologized to girls for having said that.
But who are we to criticize the Rolling Stones?
When we have a combined age of 245, we should be so lucky as to rock a giant sports arena! (By Scott Rose)
What with Live Aid and Angelina and Brad calling so much attention to Africa, The Bosh wants to keep its readers in the know about what's happening on the far side of the Atlantic.
Today's New York Times carries an article describing a condom shortage in Uganda.
Wagging tongues say that while Uganda had a success with its HIV prevention programs, the Bush administration's insistence on abstinence education has led to a decrease in condoms being donated to the country. It is said that Uganda needs 150 million condoms a year. Don't we all?
Because condoms have become scarce and expensive in Ugandan cities, men have begun using garbage bags as substitutes to prevent H.I.V.
infection. We have not been able to reach any of their partners to learn how it feels to get boffed with a garbage-bag-clad willy.
Clearly, the Bush administration is totally correct to insist on abstinence.

If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business."

Friends and family are concerned for startlingly thin Nicole Richie, 23, wondering if she's the latest member of Hollywood's superthin set (whose members include Mary-Kate Olsen, 19, and Richie pal Lindsay Lohan, 20). "She looks like a skeleton," said one insider who saw Richie at the opening of Hollywood club LAX .
"I was horrified at how skinny she is."
"She's been thin for a while," says a source, "but now her chest is practically concave and her legs are thin pins!"
At the center of the controversy over Richie's weight is the star's fiance, Adam Goldstein, a.
k.a. DJ AM, who two years ago carried a whopping 324 pounds on his 5'9" frame before undergoing gastric bypass surgery reports Star Magazine.
Goldstein is now down to a slim 169 pounds, but friends are worried that the pair, who became engaged last February after two years of dating, may be involved in an extreme game of dieting.
"The two of them hardly eat, Nicole especially," says one regular on the L.A.
club scene. "I don't think Adam is aware of how thin Nicole's gotten because he sees her all the time - he just says how sexy she looks. Nicole's now working out all the time and they have both totally cut out junk food.

Wagging tongues are on the move after the Post reported that Britney Spears has spent in excess of $100,000 on the nursery for her baby, whose name has already been decided: Preston Federline. Has a ring, like a rusted bell. The room is said to be covered in "expensive organic fabric on the walls and ceiling.
" There is a hand-painted mural of peaceful scenes in nature, furniture of costly Alder wood, and that would include the changing table. I know I would never put my baby's soiled butt on a plastic changing table; why should Britney?
Meanwhile, a cat fight controversy brews over whether Britney did or did not furnish the nursery from Beverly Hills hot spot Petit Tresor.
PT says she did, her spokesperson says she did not and that they should shut their petite bouche. Considering that Britney has already spent over $100,000 on this nursery, The Bosh counsels her to go the whole hog; Tiffany's has a lovely silver spoon for only $6,000, ideal for placing in baby Preston's mouth at the moment of birth. (By Scott Rose)
In the wake, or better put, the wakes of all the shootings and mayhem surrounding the rap and hip-hop movements in music, The Bosh interviewed music historian Martin Goldberg to learn his opinion of what drives the violence.
Bosh: Dr. Goldberg, thank you so much for agreeing to speak with us. Firstly, I'd like to know; does contemporary urban popular music foment violence?
Dr. Goldberg: The answer is an unequivocal no. The hepped-up, angry sound, the ranting, the screaming, the audio effects as of trashcans being tossed about in an alley, the death-obsessed lyrics and other characterstics of the music in question can not possibly be motivating the people who live with it to acts of violence.
Bosh: Isn't that like Bush telling us that when he talks about war, he's really talking about peace?
Dr. Goldberg: The lack of a connection between reality and what is said there is more heinous than the one here.
Besides, do you have scientific proof that rap music causes shootings?
Bosh: Even if I did, I would still rather eat lobster than do anything with it.
Dr.
Goldberg: A wise choice.
Bosh: Do you consider ominous the name of Suge Knight's record label 'Death Row.'
Dr.
Goldberg: How these pussy cats do know to employ irony!
Bosh: I've been known to employ it myself.
Dr.
Goldberg: Thank you for interviewing me. Now I must go listen to the variations that bear my name.
Bosh: Dr.
Goldberg is referring there to a keyboard work of J.S. Bach.
