Paris going back to jail ?


Paris Hilton is set to go back to prison - for a West End musical.

The hotel heiress, who recently served 23 days in jail for driving with a suspended licence, is to appear in a London stage version of cult Australian TV show 'Prisoner: Cell Block H'.

A source said: "Everyone is very excited. There was a real buzz around the show when we thought we would get some well-known Australian soap actors but Paris is a major coup.

"The casting agents never thought she'd be interested, but before meeting with the directors she researched the show by watching DVDs of the original series. She absolutely loved it and thought it was brilliantly camp."

Paris, who is said to have been keen to tread the boards in the West End for some time, is to star as an inmate in the production set in a women-only prison. It is believed her character will be involved in a lesbian romp.

The source added: "Paris is keen to stretch herself as an actress so she's happy to kiss another girl for the audience and actually thinks it'll be fun to play a lesbian.

"She'll also get to stretch her vocal chords and she loves that."

If Paris does appear in the West End it will be just the latest addition to her growing list of talents.

She has previously starred in a number of films, including 'House of Wax', released a signature perfume, recorded a pop album, designed her own clothing range, appeared in an adult film and starred in her own reality TV show The Simple Life.

Britney Spears spotted sporting a rock


Britney Spears, at the opening of the LAX nightclub in Las Vegas' Luxor resort, sported a diamond ring on her left hand, prompting the rumor mill to churn.

Questions abound about whether she was in a new relationship, throwing the media a red herring or creating hype for her rumored comeback launch during Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards program, the Las Vegas Journal-Review reported. Observers said they thought it was probably to stir interest in her comeback.

Meanwhile, the pop diva had a falling out with singer-songwriter Ne-Yo, a Las Vegas native. In an radio interview in Los Angeles, Ne-Yo, real name Shaffer C. Smith, said things were off-kilter as far as his work on Spears' comeback album was concerned.

Smith said he wrote between six and eight songs for Spears, but lost contact with the singer and her label when she entered rehab. He said he sold several songs to Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger.

(When) Britney's people called and said, 'Why are you giving away Britney's songs?' ... I say, 'Uh, hold on ... y'all didn't cut me a check,' Smith said.

Lindsay gets priorities straight in rehab


Lindsay Lohan has flown a top hairdresser to her rehab centre - so she can look her best if she is photographed by the paparazzi, it was claimed today. . Insiders say the Mean Girls starlet knows snappers are staking her out.

So she got an employee of celebrity stylist Ken Paves to fly to her clinic to give her a makeover.

A US source revealed: "Ken sent someone out to Utah to do Lindsay's extensions this week."

Lohan, 21, is at the exclusive Cirque Lodge treatment centre battling a drug and alcohol addiction.

She has been snapped there several times - and became the subject of an OK! magazine "exclusive photo shoot" several weeks ago.

Lohan claimed it was not sanctioned.

"Someone on the premises of the rehab took pictures of her and sold them. She didn't know about it, and it was a violation," a friend said.

It has been claimed that Lohan has failed drug tests while in rehab. And she was reportedly caught having sex in a bathroom stall with a male patient, and refuses to do any chores.

She pleaded no contest to drunk driving and cocaine possession last month, receiving a sentence of just one day in jail.

It comes as singer-songwriter Tori Amos has been performing a track that takes a stab at the apparent stupidity of Lohan.

The lyrics of 'I'm Not Stupid' read: ""Just a little chat I need to have. When I was 21 do you think I had a bag of cocaine in my car?

"Let's just say, when I was 26 (or seven - or eight) and I was a billionaires, what would I have done? Many naughty things. Many, many, many naughty things. But I would have had a driver."
