Hilton at the Marquee grand opening in Sydney. (Ryan Pierse/Getty Images)The possibility of losing her fame is clearly a touchy subject for Paris Hilton. The heiress banned an Australian TV station from attending the red carpet for the grand opening of the Marquee nightclub in Sydney — all because the reporter asked her what she planned to do with her life once she's no longer famous. Hilton, 31, initially seemed unfazed by the question and smiled sweetly throughout her answer, "I just want to be able to have children and have a normal life and just be with my kids." But once the camera turned off, Channel 7 reporter Edwina Bartholomew was informed that Hilton was "so offended" by the question that she demanded it not be included in the station's broadcast … or else.

Snooki and Jionni ... and her huge ring. (Twitter)Say cheese! Pregnant Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi happily posed with her fiancé, Jionni LaValle, for what could be considered an official engagement portrait on Wednesday. The parents-to-be were reportedly celebrating the end of filming for her "Jersey Shore" spin-off show with Jenni "JWoww" Farley. That could explain Snooki's choice of clothing and accessories in the Twitter pic: a fur-trimmed sweater, giant tiger-print bow, and matching (or rather, clashing) zebra-patterned earrings.Charlie Sheen Apologizes for ‘Cringeable’ Meltdown During Bizarre ‘Today’ Interview

Sheen promoting his new show. (Doug Meszler / Splash News)Instead of "winning," Charlie Sheen is now "apologizing." The disgraced "Two and a Half Men" star went on "Today" on Thursday to promote his new show, "Anger Management," and make amends for his infamous 2011 meltdown. But even more interesting was Sheen's demeanor: during the sit-down interview with Matt Lauer, the actor half-mumbled confusing jokes, fidgeted quite a bit in his chair, and repeatedly talked over the veteran TV journalist.Lady Gaga Wears Crown, No Pants for Her Birthday

Gaga, the birthday girl. (London Entertainment/Splash News)Lady Gaga may have told Oprah Winfrey that she didn't "intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," but she's certainly commanding attention in other ways. Her latest "look at me" moment occurred on Wednesday (her 26th birthday) — a mere 10 days after her comment to Winfrey — when the pop star stepped out in West Hollywood in a rhinestone-covered crown, studded motorcycle jacket … and no pants. Instead, Gaga, who also carried around a little dog in a white T-shirt, opted for a pair of black sheer tights over her brief-style panties. She even posted a photo of her kooky getup on Twitter, with a message to her more than 21 million followers: "I can be, the Queen that's inside of me. You guys are the best."Julianna Margulies: Why I Turned Down $27 Million to Stay on ‘ER’

Margulies on the cover of More. After 12 years, Julianna Margulies has finally broken her silence on her decision to leave "ER" at the height of her career — and a $27 million payday. "The Good Wife" star reveals in the April issue of More that although everyone said it would be "career suicide" not to return to the medical drama she had starred on for six years, she was never concerned of the consequences. "I'm a smart girl," Margulies, 45, tells the magazine. "I had a year's worth of work waiting and a mortgage completely paid at age 32. I was under no illusion that I was going to be some big movie star. My dad said, 'If you got hit by a bus tomorrow, were you living your life truthfully, or were you waiting to get rich?' If I died and my soul started leaving my body, would I be looking down going, 'You idiot. You could have gone to Prague, you could have been on Broadway'? Those are the things I wanted to do."Spike Lee Under Fire for Tweeting Trayvon Martin’s Accused Killer’s Wrong Address

Spike Lee. (James Devaney/WireImage)What a "twit." Spike Lee is taking heat after he re-tweeted what he thought was the address of George Zimmerman, the man accused of killing 17-year-old Florida boy, Trayvon Martin, to his more than 249,000 followers — but it was actually the residence of an elderly couple. David McClain, 72, and his wife, Elaine, 70, are now considering taking legal action against the "Do the Right Thing" director" because they say that are "afraid" to leave their home for fear of retaliation, even though they have no connection with Zimmerman. "We're keeping everything locked," Elaine told The Smoking Gun. "Maybe we should get a lawyer and send a cease and desist letter to Spike Lee."‘Basketball Wives’ Star Tami Roman Suffers Mild Heart Attack

Humphries and Kardashian wed in August and split in October. (Jerritt Clark/WireImage)By Kris Humphries' calculations, he deserves $97,222 for every day he was married to Kim Kardashian. According to an E! Online report, the NBA forward is stalling his divorce from the reality star by rejecting her "generous" monetary offer and instead demanding a $7 million payout for their 72-day marriage, which ended in October. "Kris is dragging it out," says a source. "Kim is ready to move on, but Kris is hoping that stretching it out will get him even more money … There is a fair offer on the table, but he just won't sign it."Single Mom-of-Three Denise Richards: ‘I Feel Guilty Taking a Day to Myself’

Richards with Lola and Sam. (Juan Sharma/PacificCoastNews.com)With three children, a litter of dogs, a busy acting career, photo shoots, and charity work, Denise Richards hardly has time to catch her breath, let alone enjoy a moment to herself. So she takes time when she can, like her 5:30 a.m. coffee break before she wakes up her two oldest daughters Sam, 8, and Lola, 6. The next hour is spent picking out clothes, brushing hair, making school lunches — all with 9-month-old adopted daughter Eloise on her hip and a bottle in her hand. By 7:30 a.m. everyone's out the door and that's when the day really starts for the former Bond Girl. "[My schedule] varies every day," Richards, who next stars in Tyler Perry's "Madea's Witness Protection," tells omg!. "I'm off doing meetings or filming or photo shoots. If I do have a day off, I just hang with Eloise all day … I've been working so much lately, and with the baby, I feel guilty taking a day to myself. So if I have a day off, I'm with Eloise."Angry Khloe Kardashian Quits PETA Over Kim’s Flour Bombing

Looks like Khloe Kardashian-Odom would rather not go naked for PETA after all. The reality star has quit her support of the animal-rights group after one of its "superstar" members flour-bombed her older sister Kim at the launch of her perfume last Thursday night in Los Angeles. In a Monday blog post, Khloe ranted: "I've been a vocal supporter of PETA for a long time but I have also been very vocal about anti-bullying, so this was a huge disappointment for me. As you all know, I don't condone violence and bullying and what happened last Thursday was just that. I am absolutely disgusted by their behavior. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions — I personally don't wear fur but that doesn't mean I am going to force my views on anyone else, ESPECIALLY by violating them. I am a very proud sister right now, because Kim handled last week's incident like a champ. She got cleaned up and was back out there in a matter of minutes."
