Baby JoBro, Nick, - who just turned 16 - was seen driving around in a Classic Ford Mustang Cobra on Monday.

Big pimpin'!

Here's a fun math game for you!

That car is twice his age and probably only worth a tenth 1/1000th of what the tweenie boy bander rakes in!!!

Someone's feeing a little insecure and threatened!

Anthony 'Ant' Kalloniatis, host of Celebrity Fit Club, has filed a lawsuit in Boston courts to stop British television presenter Anthony 'Ant' McPartlin from using the name 'Ant' professionally in the US.

The American 'Ant' is also seeking $32 million in 'damages'.

Desperate!

For those of you who may not know, the British Ant is actually part of the wildly-popular (in the UK) hosting team of Ant & Dec. They're like the Ryan Seacrests of England. You won't ever see them on Brit TV without the other nearby. Ant & Dec are always 'sold' as a pair.

Anywho, U.S. Ant says he is already losing work after being confused with the English pair and claims their efforts to make it big in good ole' America could kill his own career.

How could someone confuse the two??? The British Ant is hot, the American one - not so much. The British Ant is straight, the American one - not so much. Plus, you don't get the British Ant without the Dec. It's Ant & Dec. Not just Ant!

Just recently, Ant & Dec hosted the ABC quiz show Wanna Bet? in America.

A source familiar with the suit said, "…Ant and Dec did not state they were comedians when they applied to use their names across the Atlantic. Under American rules no two performers can have the same name. If Ant and Dec applied for a trade mark under the name Ant, and said they were involved in comedy, they wouldn’t have been allowed to appear on TV. U.S. Ant is concerned that viewers, producers and show-bookers are confusing them, and he is losing work as a result.”

UPDATE:  The US Ant has given us an official statement.  He says:

"The U.K. SUN is full of malarky.  3/4 of the story they printed is fabricated.  U.S. Trademark law requires me to defend and protect my trademark or it gets diluted.  Thanks to the people who wrote in support of the american hometown boy."

And there you have it.

Do y'all think the lawsuit is lame?!

She may have a case of P.T.S. - poor ticket sales!

We mentioned earlier today that Janet Jackson had to cancel her Montreal concert Monday night after she "got suddenly ill."

Well, this was her second show she cancelled in less than a handful of days - and she came up with a different "excuse" for the first cancellation!

According to the tour publicist, Kitara Garner, Jane's Saturday night concert in Detroit this past weekend was cancelled due to "production constraints."

No further details were given.

The show has been rescheduled for Tuesday, October 28th.

Those with tickets to Saturday's postponed concert can use them on the 28th. As for those who can't make it, they can seek a refund at the point of purchase.

Looks like Janet's Rock Witchu tour is getting off to a bumpy start.

Either way, we still hope Janet's feeling better after her hospital visit.

Maybe seven is a lucky number for Brangelina!

The parents of six are supposedly thinking of adopting one more child!

With newborn twins and 4 under the age of 7 running around, you'd think adding on to the crew would be the last thing they're thinking of!

The two are reportedly not sure at the moment which country they'll want to adopt from.

Sources say some lucky kid from Namibia, where Shiloh was born, might be added to the Brangelina collection.

Or, it could be a little one from Bolivia or Paraguay. Angelina supposedly wants to draw attention to the large number of desperately needy orphaned children in Latin America.

We think they should do Latin America. They don't have a kid from there yet!

We feel sorry for Brangelina. In a few years they're going to have 6 (maybe 7) kids all going through puberty at the same time.

Remember how horrible we all were in our teens?

Scary!

We've been shoe-crazed the last few days.

It's hard not to be!

The Spring/Summer 2009 fashion shows have featured some very interesting and wacky shoes!

What do you U about these babies by designers Aminaka Wilmont?

Where would you wear them in 'real', non-socialite or celebrity life?!

"H.E.R.O. for Children is a non-profit dedicated to improving the quality of life for children infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS."

They're still in gay Paree!

Yesterday, the lovely Dita Von Teese and Katy Perry were spotted at the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 2009 fashion collection in Paris.

Then, after a quick wardrobe change, Dita was spotted at the Patrick Demarchelier exhibition held at the Petit Palais, looking flawless as always.

Actually, Dita was looking pretty FIERCE with her top hat and all.

Loves it!

And, Kitty also showed up to the Patrick Demarchelier exhibition, sporting a Barbie-inspired hot pink dress, which she looked great in.

Wish we could have been there!

We need to go to Paris soon!!!
