Tyra Banks Show

Former America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden just broke her silence on the airport scuffle that resulted in her mother's hospitalization and the arrest of Nikki Blonsky, but the Hairspray star isn't joining in on the disclosure circuit just yet.

"Since this is a pending legal issue, she's been advised by her lawyer not to comment," Blonsky publicist Teal Cannaday tells E! News.

Golden, meanwhile, appears to have received no such advising and took her side of the story to her former TV mentor, opening up about the July 29 Caribbean smackdown on The Tyra Banks Show.

As far as her Hannah Montana contract goes, Miley Cyrus isn't going anywhere just yet. And, according to the star herself, that's just the way she wants it.

In response to a weekend report by TMZ alleging that Cyrus was pulling some costar-alienating diva moves on the TV set in an effort to get eighty-sixed by the Mouse House, Cyrus tells E! News that she remains grateful—and, more important, locked in—to the series.

"I am fully committed to Hannah Montana," she says. "It's what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people.

"I'm really excited about our new season. We are making great new episodes that I can't wait for our fans to see, and I'm looking forward to the Hannah Montana movie that will be out in the spring."

Try to forget the vituperative voice mail none of us can forget, least of all the man who made it, Alec Baldwin. Turns out he's a sensitive hothead who's penned an emotional new book, A Promise to Ourselves: A Journey Through Fatherhood and Divorce. Without taking sides in his very public custody debacle with ex-wife Kim Basinger over daughter Ireland, it's easy to appreciate Baldwin's perspective.

Here's a little of the flavor from Chapter 3, "Olives and Cheese":

We've been following this Alec Baldwin versus My Name Is Earl feud with some interest, but now the mud is being flung so quickly we can barely keep up—so bear with us as we recap Hollywood's most fascinating catfight:

The 30 Rock star started it all in a New Yorker profile by saying NBC head honchos pay more attention to Earl than to his series.

My Name Is Earl's creator, Greg Garcia, responded via Defamer by calling Alec a psychotic narcissist.

Alec shot back on the Huffington Post site: "For Earl's creator, Greg Garcia, who referred to me as a 'psychotic,' I have only one question. Why are you Scientologists always rendering these medical opinions you aren't qualified to give?"

Now Garcia's taking no prisoners—firing back at Baldwin, bald people and Yes, Dear. We are not making this up:

Well, Kanye West certainly came out swinging. He just needs to work on his follow-through.

Despite a year-old vow to any media outlet that would listen that he would never again show his face on the backstabbing airwaves of MTV—a proclamation made after being relegated to a small stage and shut out despite five nominations at last year's Video Music Awards—West has apparently forgiven and forgotten and signed on to perform at this Sunday's show.

West will join Britney Spears (whom the rapper previously claimed was exploited by the network at last year's wingding) in book-ending the 25th anniversary edition of the VMAs do, with the hip-hop star set to close the night's censor-ready proceedings.

Ann and Nancy Wilson are hoping the Republicans change their tune—and aren't planning on waiting until November to find out.

The sisterly duo known as Heart sent a cease-and-desist notice to the McCain-Palin campaign Thursday afternoon after their hit "Barracuda" was used—twice—without permission as the official rallying cry for the vice presidential candidate after her nomination acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

The song was chosen as a would-be cute tie-in to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's past—"Barracuda" was her high school nickname.

Only problem, campaign officials failed to ask either the group, Universal Music Publishing or Sony BMG whether the song was fair game to use. It wasn't.

Despite a brief, and quite public, war of words, it seems that all is once again well in the Lohan household. Or at least on its way to being so.

Lindsay Lohan's father, Michael, told E! News he is set to call truce and reunite with his famous daughter and the rest of his offspring at a burial for his father, Richard, who passed away in New York last Thursday after a battle with cancer.

While devastating, the elder Lohan said the passing of his 73-year-old father has brought his family closer together, and while Lindsay was not present for her grandpa's funeral, she will be present for the final service.

"She is going to be at the burial," Lohan told E! News. "All my kids will be there."

And it's not just with his daughter that Lohan has laid down his verbal swords.

She may have had nothing but vitriol for cohost Elton John, but at Tuesday night's London-set GQ Men of the Year Awards, Lily Allen did have some kind words reserved for one British icon: the bobbies.

Before berating the Rocket Man onstage—and, as it were, before dispatching plenty of complimentary tipple—the 23-year-old "Smile" singer had nothing but praise for the London Metropolitan Police, thanking them publicly for rescuing a friend who had recently been abducted at gunpoint.

"My friend Charlie was kidnapped a few weeks ago and was kept in a car boot for six days without food or anything," she told reporters on her way into the show. "It was really scary."

Scarier even than going head-to-head with a cantankerous knighted pop star, if you can believe it.

After Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson blogged out their Michael Lohan frustrations on MySpace, we knew it was only a matter of hours until M.Lo came up with some kind of response. He tells ABCNews.com:

"Who's out of control? Whose life is out of control? Give me a break. Going from place to place, being dragged around by Samantha so she can make more money off of Lindsay being there when she spins...She's gone from making $7 million to less than a million a movie. Who's out of control?

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson took a break from all the fun they've been having lately to address comments Michael Lohan made in an E! News report about Sam planning to pen a tell-all book.

Earlier this week, he told us: Sam’s “using my daughter. People never even knew who Samantha Ronson was until she met Lindsay. She was just some L.A. DJ.”

Not cool, Mike, according to Linds' blog: “He has become a public embaressment (sic) and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).” His motivations are pretty obvi to her. It's all because of “an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME.”

Poor Linds was so upset she was even listening to her daddy-issues anthem “Confessions of a Broken Heart," according to her MySpace profile. Probably on full blast while destroying an innocent room.

Shannen Doherty is Hollywood's original bad girl, but you wouldn't know it from the press she's doing lately—especially the latest Us Weekly cover story in which the actress insists she's found an "inner peace" and refuses to comment on her turbulent relationships with her former 90210 castmates.

This is not the exposé we Doherty devotees expected. Seriously, not even a tiny spat with her reunited costar, Jennie Garth? Au contraire, says the "grown up and evolved" Shannenbot.

What is going on? In her day, ShanDo put the antics of Young Hollywood to shame...
