“Fantastic Four” star Chris Evans tried to snatch a mere mortal’s bottle of vodka. At Nest in Chelsea, Evans and pals approached a table in the VIP area and started pouring drinks. The table’s occupant appeared and asked Evans, “What the hell are you doing?” Evans and his posse were escorted by security back to the main area.

B-LIST party boy Simon Rex was literally caught with his pants down at the Chelsea nightclub Stereo over the weekend.

The soused “Scary Movie” actor asked to use his cellphone in a private hallway, but when owners Michael Satsky and Barry Mullineaux checked on him 10 minutes later, they found Rex with his pants down and about to empty his bladder on the floor. They immediately bounced him out of the club.

Exposing himself is nothing new for Rex: Before he became semi-famous as an MTV veejay in the 1990s, the former Paris Hilton plaything appeared in gay porn videos.

Brad Renfro is fast gaining a reputation as the Robert Downy JR for the under 30 crowd. What once looked like a promising career for a very talented young actor has all but come to a hault due to the actor’s rampant drug use and brushes with the law for a series of pointless crimes.

Brad Renfro has been jailed for violating his probation. TMZ was the only camera crew in Los Angeles Court Wednesday when the actor copped a plea to driving under the influence. Renfro had two prior DUIs, one as a juvenile and one as an adult. Under the plea agreement for his third DUI, Renfro was sentenced to 10 days in LA County jail and ordered to attend an alcohol program. The judge also ordered Renfro to attend a “hospital and morgue” program, designed as shock treatment.Renfro was immediately taken into custody and sent off to jail.

In return for pleading guilty to DUI, other charges, including driving with a suspended license, were dismissed.On Monday, Renfro was in court on heroin possession charges. A judge ruled Renfro was eligible for a rehabilitation program, thus avoiding jail for that offense.

TOMMY Lee nearly got duped into hooking up with a transsexual while partying in Toronto the other night.

The renowned babe-bagger was hanging out at the Ultra Supper Club when he called over he/she stunner Nina Arsenault, set her on his lap and shared a few shots of tequila. “She downed hers quickly, while, she reveals, he ‘gagged’ on his tequila,” writes Shinan Govani in Canada’s National Post. “She wasted no time, then, in calling him a ‘pussy.’ He apologized, telling her: ‘I’ve been drinking tequila since 7 a.m.’ . . .

Things were going just swimmingly, when somebody took it upon themselves to tell Lee’s bodyguard about the ‘Nip/Tuck’-ness of it all, and the bodyguard then whispered something in the star’s ear. ‘That’s when he took a good, long look at me,’ Nina recalls. A bucket of cold water seemed to come splashing down. ‘You know what? I’m dying for a cigarette,’ Lee was heard to say, as he got up from the table with his posse. ‘Great!’ said Nina, as she trailed behind them.” But when they approached the lounge, the paper reports, Lee’s bodyguard put up his hand and told Nina, “You’re not coming with us.”

Los Angeles, CA (AHN) — Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria plans to file charges against the Texan traffic cop who ticketed her boyfriend, San Antonio Spur Tony Parker, on Christmas Eve.

She claims the officer’s behavior was uncalled for when he pulled her and the hoopster over for impeding traffic. Not shockingly, the cop is currently under investigation for misconduct.

Longoria was apparently shocked and appalled after the officer accused her of making derogatory racial comments about him. He quoted Longoria as saying, “He’s Mexican, he probably just wants an autograph.”

Former child actor Brad Renfro was arrested Thursday in a Los Angeles Skid Row police sting that netted 14 other people, say authorities.

Renfro, who starred in 1994′s The Client when he was 12, is now 23. He was charged with a felony count of attempting to possess heroin and freed on $10,000 bail Friday. He is scheduled for arraignment on Dec. 30, reports the Associated Press.

Renfro’s other credits include Tom and Huck, Ghost World, Deuces Wild and The Jacket.”He was contrite about being arrested and he readily acknowledged that he had a drug problem,” police Lt. Paul Vernon said at a news conference.

If convicted, Renfro could evade prison thanks to a 2000 law requires that first- and second-time nonviolent drug offenders be ordered to treatment programs instead, said Jane Robison, a district attorney’s spokeswoman.

This is not Renfro’s first brush with the law. His most recent previous encounter was on Nov. 24, when he was charged with a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence and two counts of driving with a suspended license, said city attorney’s spokesman Frank Mateljan.

KIDS say the darnedest things! A 6-year-old girl’s candid outburst forced producers of “The Apprentice: Martha Stewart” to change the winner right before the live NBC broadcast of the season finale.

On-set insiders say the granddaughter of Charles Koppelman, a top adviser to Stewart and a judge on the show, innocently revealed the winner to a room full of stunned contestants just before Wednesday night’s live broadcast, sending the producers into crisis control.

Judges Martha Stewart, daughter Alexis, and Koppelman, chairman of Martha Stewart Omnimedia, were about to select a winner between finalists Bethenny Frankel and Dawna Stone when the cute child’s blurt-out ruined the surprise.

Sources say producers then changed the script, which originally called for Frankel to be declared the winner.

This story originally appeared in FemaleFirst, but below is Dlisted‘s hysterical take on the same story:

Picture this: You are Donatella Versace, you are wearing some ugly frock that you sort-of designed, you love champagne, you love coke even more. You’ve invited that fag Elton John over to party. “Fuck the Pain Away” by Peaches comes on the radio and that’s your jam, so you head to the powder room to get a little powder.

Suddenly, the nastiest man you’ve ever seen blocks you. It’s Elton John and you’re confused, but you try and get around his fat arm. He blocks you and says there’s a jet waiting. You say “fabulous, let me get my bikini!” But it’s not going to St. Tropez, it’s going to Arizona. You hate Arizona, but that’s where REHAB is. Oh no, not rehab.This is a true story. Sad but true.Donatella said:

“On June 30 [2004] Elton was in my house in Milan, along with a few friends. I went to the bathroom to powder my nose and they blocked me. They told me there was a plane about to depart for Arizona. “I was shocked but I understood the time had come. I slipped into a tracksuit and … alone and with no make up, caught the plane.”

Please don’t take coke away from Donatella. She won’t be the same. I like her just the way she is. Coked up and with a penis!

You think this couple is happy? Sarah Jessica Parker on her husband Matthew Broderick.

“Both myself and my son are more accustomed to having him (Matthew Broderick) gone in the evenings, so when he’s actually home and he’s not working in the theatre, it’s honestly more of an adjustment to actually have him in the house interrupting our (routine).”
