TMZ and CNN report that one of the two mystery suspects in the alleged robbery involving O.J. Simpson turned himself in yesterday to Vegas cops and provided evidence, including items believed to have been taken during the robbery. Cashmore will be booked on several charges, including robbery, assault, burglary with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to commit robbery. One suspect is still outstanding; I bet it's Kato Kaelin! It must be! On a funny note, TMZ obtained court documents and police records involving an identically-named "O.J. Simpson" being arrested by Vegas cops in 1996 for robbing a restaurant delivery guy with the use of a deadly weapon. How coincidental! I wonder if that was a "sting operation" too... Of course, it didn't work out so well for young O.J., who pleaded guilty to the crime and was sentenced to five years in the slammer. If only our favorite O.J. would get this treatment also...if he did it *hmph*.

TMZ has obtained court documents filed by representatives for eleven animal rights groups who want Vick's dogs to have a say in the sentencing of Michael Vick. Attorneys for the group filed a brief they say is on behalf of the dogs "which were brutally slaughtered by Vick and his cohorts." The brief, which outlines the horrifying abuse the dogs endured while involved in dog fighting, requests that the proceeds of any fines paid by Vick go to provide care and rehabilitation for the canine victims. It also asks that any fines paid by Vick go toward establishing a no-kill shelter or sanctuary to care for abused dogs, and to fund a public awareness program designed to educate the public on the "abhorrent nature of dog fighting." The dogs also ask that Vick be sentenced to nearly six years in jail. Well, they say every dog has his day...in court, that is.

TMZ reports rapper and 50 Cent *cough retire! cough* protege The Game found out this morning that he could have his cop impersonation case dismissed and sealed if he can keep himself clean for six months. The Game was arrested last November for hopping into a cab and telling the driver he was an undercover cop, then making the driver run several red lights. No mention was made of his pending weapons case in California, and it will have no bearing on the New York case, the judge said. What in the world? The Game is well on his way to music history anyway because he has no future in the present.

Dlisted.com reports that Amy Winehouse performed "Tears Dry On Their Own" and "Me And Mr Jones" last night at the MOBO Awards in London, where she won Best Female Singer. Winehouse stumbled through most of her performance, forgetting lyrics, twitching, fumbling with her dress and towards the end, sounding like she was trying to spit out a basketball-sized loogie. Sources told The Sun that "in her dressing room she was really on edge, then flipped. She was screaming and chucking anything she could get her hands on at the people around her. She wasn’t in a good way." This sounds ironically like Britney at her VMA performance. I can see it now! One night only: Winehouse and Spears---on the same stage---live and on drugs! Um, no. "Gimme" no "more." I do love Winehouse's music though...

Dlisted.com reports that Aretha Franklin and Eartha Kitt were some of the guests at last night's fragrance launch party for Diddy. Diddy is so confident in his new women's perfume "Unforgettable Woman" that he has challenged his female counterparts to a smell-off. He boasted, "I am going to challenge my female counterparts, from J.Lo, Mariah, Sarah Jessica Parker to Gwen Stefani that my fragrance is better than theirs. I am a man, and I know how a woman should smell." He actually knows because he has both "parts"! Diddy is THAT amazing! Blah. As Chris Crocker says in his video, "Eat my c*rnhole!" Forgive me! I had to namedrop him somehow!

Perez Hilton reports that Hayden Panettiere seriously threatened to kill a reporter on the red carpet of the Emmys Awards. TV Guide, a very reputable media outlet, reports that the "Heroes" actress had a nasty confrontation with a reporter from Us Weekly. "It was the unbreakable Hayden Panettiere who threatened to 'kill' a staffer from Us Weekly over something she wrote about her in a recent issue. Just when it looked like Hayden was about to pull a Sylar on said reporter’s skull, her quick-thinking publicist grabbed her and scolded, 'Not on the red carpet.'" Perez slyly adds, "We told you that Hayden was going to be the next Lohan, and now she’s well on her way!" Shame. Meanwhile, Panettiere is rumored to be dating her Heroes co-star, Milo Ventimiglia. They were seen together and dirty dancing at an Emmy Awards party on Sunday. The rumors will soon be truth!

Perez shockingly reports that Dan Rather is suing CBS and Viacom for $70 million!!!! The lawsuit, filed Wednesday afternoon in the State Supreme Court in Manhattan, alleges fraud against CBS. Rather also claims that the network also did not live up to their certain contractual agreements they had made with him and that he was made to be a 'scapegoat' in his acrimonious departure from the nightly news. Poor CBS. They lost so much money over Janet Jackson's "Nipplegate," they have received plenty of yelling over the anti-semitic comments made by Big Brother 8's Amber on the show, and their newest reality show, "Kid Nation," has gotten terrible reviews after last night's airing. Off-topic slightly, my theory is "The Big Bang Theory" will next do a big bang into TV obscurity because it looks absolutely retarded. Again, poor CBS.

I could not go the ENTIRE blog without ONE mention of Britney Spears. Perez Hilton, who, like me, also watches the Billboard Hot 100 weekly, announces "Gimme More" has lept 10 places to #75. Hopefully it will break the top 50. The song is too good to tank!

Perez Hilton and Dlisted.com report that on Wednesday, Denise Richards filed a motion in L.A. Superior Court asking a to protect her children from their father, ex-husband Charlie Sheen. Richards’ lawyer, Neal Raymond Hersh, says, "She believes that Charlie has significant personal issues which he has failed to address and which require her to take action to protect her children. This is not a vindictive action. Any responsible parent in Denise’s shoes would go to the ends of the Earth to protect her children." Hersh did not elaborate what Sheen’s "personal issues" are. For his part, Charlie countered, releasing the following statement: "Clearly the mother of my children has no interest in responsible co-parenting when it comes to my relationship with our girls. She behaves as though she owns our children. She does not. A day of legal reckoning for her is fast approaching. The truth will prevail. It always does." Denise is asking the court to terminate Charlie’s overnight privileges with the their two kids, daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2. Amongst Richards’ shocking allegations:
- She claims that Sheen still exhibits "inappropriate behavior and conduct," including "his attraction to underage women and his sexual explicitness on the Internet, including revealing his private parts."
- She alleges that her children don’t enjoy their time with their father and don’t want to spend the night at his house.
- When it comes to Sheen’s new fiancée, Brooke Mueller, Richards also takes exception to the way the two handled their engagement, claiming the first the children heard of the father’s plans to marry another woman came on a TV interview. In the filing, Richards claims Sheen and Mueller told her they "did it for the press...he wanted to get the cover of People and Us magazine."
- Richards also quoted alleged e-mails from Mueller, where Sheen’s new fiancée appears to apologize for Sheen’s tirades against Richards. "I truly believe he is acting like this…because he is upset about the engagement...Please don’t take anything he said personally. He’s just hurt and reacting with anger," the alleged e-mail from Mueller states.
- The filing also includes a declaration from Richards’ childcare provider, Diana Alvarez, which also fires off some sordid claims against Sheen. In her declaration, Alvarez claims she has witnessed Sheen hit the family dogs, and also claims the couple’s daughter Sam has told her Sheen has threatened to hit her. Alvarez also alleges Sheen "yell...and routinely curses" in front of the children, and even goes as far as to claim Sheen "completely ignores" the youngest daughter, Lola.
Chris Crocker says in his videos that "kids should cuss!" Oh, snap! I namedropped him again... In response to the specific allegations, Sheen’s lawyer, Lance Spiegel says, "Virtually all of these allegations were previously raised and were denied by Mr. Sheen. The parties have been operating under an existing custody agreement for more than a year, and during that period of time there was no attempt to resurrect any of these allegations until Mr. Sheen requested the right to select his own child care provider." I agree when Dlisted humorously demeans their custody battle for being less exciting than that of Britney & K-Fed. Britney and K-Fed are so exciting! The (ex-)Sheens are, well, not.

At the Matthew Williamson fashion show in London on Wednesday, Prince appeared as a guest, but at the end, "whipped out a microphone and started singing directly from his seat, to the pleasant shock of all the guests." Next, his dancer protogées and a microphone stand appeared and Prince rocked out a few songs. I must admit that I love Prince, and I love his music, but times like these (and when he changed his name) make me wonder about him.

Perez reports that things are so acrimonious between former best friends Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag that "LC" almost did not agree to do a third season of The Hills. The Laguna Beach alum told Seventeen magazine: "I actually came dangerously close to not doing season three, because I really didn’t want to do the show with Heidi and Spencer. I’m not who they are. I don’t stage my own publicity. I just kind of live my life and do my job, and I don’t want to be grouped with them." MTV convinced Conrad to stick it out. She says, "Heidi and Spencer were always a part of the show, and they can’t all of a sudden make main characters disappear. And so we continue to follow their lives, and the producers keep letting Heidi and Spencer think there’s some hope [that we’ll make up]." Only people like my sister and Laguna Beach-obsessed fans actually care.

Finally, Perez reports that Jay-Z is "un-retiring" again. AGAIN??? The rapper will drop a new album in November following his first "un-retiring" album, "Kingdom Come," which only produced one hit, the top ten "Show Me What You Got." I swear, if you are going to retire, just do it already! *hint, hint, 50 Cent*
