French law officials want to throw the book at 73-year old screen legend Brigitte Bardot for inciting racial hatred toward the Muslim community.

Brigitte (a vocal animal activist) stated in a letter that she wrote to then interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy (now President of the country) protesting the method of slaying sheep during the Muslim festival of Aid El-Kebir.

"We're fed up with being led around by this whole population which is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts," she said.

A bit harsh, baby?????

Bardot was upset because the sheep weren't being stunned before they are bled to death, which is the 'traditional' method.

The letter was published in a magazine and distributed to supporters of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.

Several anti-racism groups in France filed complaints about the letter, accusing Bardot of provoking discrimination and racial hatred toward Muslims.

Bardot has been convicted of similar offenses on four previous occasions since 1997 and fined $2,250-$7,500.

The court will deliver its verdict June 3.

You'd think that after all those years of being alive the old gal would have gained some wisdom and learned some diplomacy!

Yes, that's really Fred Durst.

For you youngsters that need some background: he used to be the frontman of an obnoxious rap/metal band named Limp Bizkit.

He also had a sex tape.

Apparently, he used to be quite famous in the '90s.

Nowadays, he spends his days, like Monday, taking long lunches at sushi joints in Los Angeles and doing much of nothing.

Sweater-loving, Jello-eating, 80's sitcom dad Bill Cosby is releasing a 'feel good' hip hop CD in May.

Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency blends the comedian's concepts and stories with a hip-hop, pop and jazz soundtrack.

So what's Cosby's 'feel good' release going to address? "The value of an education. The value of respecting one's self and … giving (listeners) a chance to raise their self-esteem and confidence,” Cosby said.

Cosby's longtime musical collaborator Bill "Spaceman” Patterson commented, "He (Cosby) has always understood rap's potential, but he was appalled by the foul language and the misogyny — the way people used a medium that could be used to elevate people, to open their eyes and provoke thought.”

Guest rappers provided the 70-year old with the rhymes for the album.

We're glad Cosby is getting this out of his system. Now maybe he'll shut his piehole about how rap music is evil and shiz!

Don't mix alcohol and meds, y'all!

The National Enquirer is reporting that legendary actress and AIDS philanthropist Elizabeth Taylor was rushed to the hospital after mixing booze and prescription pills!

The 8-times married Liz must have an army of care givers. Why didn't anyone stop her?!

The 76 year-old Oscar winner began vomiting and couldn't breathe when she awoke her assistant at 4 AM on April 6th.

She was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and went home that afternoon.

"Liz was panicking. She really thought she was going to die!" a friend tells the gossip rag.

Good thing Cedars didn't poison Liz!

If she was admitted to UCLA we probably would have heard about this ages ago…snicker snicker.

Stay strong Liz!

And stay sober!

"It really boils down to this: I want to please everybody. I want every guy and every girl thinking that I'm singing these songs to them, because I am. If I make a hard, fast case on where I stand then that takes away a lot of the fantasy. Music entails a lot of fantasy. I want people to be able to go there with me. Some people might think it's a cop-out. I don't care. That's how I feel."

There must be something in the air!

Poor Hef!

Hugh Hefner celebrated his birthday at the Playboy Club in Las Vegas's Palms Casino Hotel on Saturday night with the Girls Next Door.

Did he take his sleeping pill just before the party?

The Playboy legend turned 82 years old.

We should be so lucky to reach that age!

Here's to at least another 18 for Hugh!

We love old people (like, really old), but…

They also make us really sad!

Really old people just constantly remind us that they're THATCLOSE to death, and Bob Barker looks it!

The TV legend was at the Academy of Magical Arts awards show in L.A. on Saturday night.

He's 84 years old.

They drop like flies at 84!

We can't help but have morbid thoughts like, "What if this is the last time Bob Barker is seen out in public?"

At least he's getting out of the house, and that's good.

Hope you're healthy, Bob. Stay that way for a while old chum!
