Integrity Toys

They must have broken the mold when they made Katy Perry in doll form. How else to explain why her would-be pint-sized doppelganger looks more like Dita Von Teese than the "I Kissed a Girl" warbler?

Anyhoo, the chart-topping popster has been immortalized in plastic by the folks at Integrity Toys, which is offering a limited-edition 12-inch fashion prototype to the fanatics.

A waiting list has already formed for the 500 figures, which retail for $49.99 a pop.

Now we just want know, which celebrity doll should Perry's replica get to smooching?

When it comes to the pursuit of happiness, where there's a Will, there's a way.

Mr. Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, are so determined in this photo to express their infatuation for each other, they obviously don't have the patience to wait that one extra millisecond it would take for their lips to lock.

Granted, it's not as unsettling as, say, when Liza Minnelli sucked face with David what's-his-name, but it definitely got us thinking about other celebs who've managed to turn their PDA into LOL, like the ones in our Celebrity Makeout Mishaps gallery.

Retro-pop trainwreck Amy Winehouse may not seem like much of a career counselor,
but apparently she's taken on that role for her 12-year old goddaughter, Dionne Bromfield.

This week, she had Dionne sing in her place at a gig in London, according to U.K. tab the
Mirror, and the experience proved to be less stressful for Dionne than Winehouse, who
sobbed to reporters backstage:

Notorious prankster Sacha Baron Cohen decided to disrupt the Agatha Ruiz de la Prada show during Milan Fashion Week Thursday by taking it upon himself to strut his silly stuff as one of his many alter egos, flamboyant Austrian model Bruno.

Upon refusing to step off, security guards were called in and he was subsequently taken to a local police station, as this video shot by an Italian TV crew shows. No charges, however, were filed.

Bruno, er, Cohen is in Milan shooting yet another film with a long quirky title—Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Male. 

Was Cohen simply having a little fun with the fashionistas, or did he give new meaning to the term fashion faux pas? Sound off in the comments section!

One Top Chef competitor's burger joint has found itself in a bit of a pickle.

The suddenly ironically named Good Stuff Eatery, a Washington, D.C., burger joint opened this year by season four's hat-wearing reality chef Spike Mendelsohn, has found itself on the business end of some rather unappetizing health code violations.

The District's Department of Health cited the restaurant for what they have deemed several "critical" missteps, including such culinary clangers as storing beef in an alley behind his Capitol Hill café.

For his part, Mendelsohn denied any food faux pas.

"I know how to run a restaurant, and I know how to keep it clean," he told D.C.'s WTOP news radio. "You can come right here and you can eat off the floor. I don't run anything unhealthy."

David Blaine lives to pretend to almost kill himself another day.

The 35-year-old illusionist/stuntmeister/attention-junkie has survived his latest feat of fortitude, a 44-foot "jump" after hanging 50 feet above the skating rink in New York City's Central Park, upside down, for 60 hours.

The mystery, supposedly, was whether Blaine's head would pop off, his lungs would explode or some other dastardly fate would befall him (pardon the pun) after spending all that time inverted, which in and of itself could cause breathing trouble, blindness, a stroke and a host of other organ difficulties, according to a vascular surgeon at the scene.

But not only did Blaine look pretty damn good, albeit a little bleary eyed, once he was turned upright, he evaded sharp scrutiny altogether. When it came time to "dive," he sort of fluttered down to Earth before the hoister of his harness whisked him away.

Mystifyingly into the ether, he'd have us believe.

Nicole Kidman is giving a whole new meaning to the expression "There must be something in the water."

The 41-year-old Oscar winner, who welcomed daughter Sunday Rose in July, believes swimming in the "fertility waters" of the Australian Outback during production of her upcoming film, Australia, may have contributed to her conceiving.

"I never thought that I would get pregnant and give birth to a child, but it happened on this movie," Kidman tells the Australian Women's Weekly, adding that six other women who also went for a dip soon began sporting baby bumps as well.

"There is something up there in the Kununurra water, because we all went swimming in the waterfalls, so we can call it the fertility waters now."

In other news, Keith Urban's ego has completely deflated.

You can't make this crap up!

Who knew that Dane Cook getting evicted for failing to clean up his dog's doo-doo was really somehow related to Animal House, or at least that film's star, John Belushi?

That's what Cook is contending in a new court filing, in which he tries to stave off eviction from his West Hollywood apartment where he reportedly, repeatedly let his dog defecate in the public courtyard. (View the documents.)

On the bright side, David Blaine is making last night's Emmy hosts seem positively relevant compared to his latest publicity, er, death-defying stunt.

The so-called street magician has kicked off his latest crowd-drawing exploit in New York City this morning, embarking on a three-day feat of endurance in which he will hang upside down—no smoke, no mirrors, no wires—in Central Park, culminating in a live two-hour finale on ABC Wednesday night.

This one, going under the appropriately sensationalistic title of David Blaine: Dive of Death, takes place 50 feet above the iconic Wollman Rink in full public view and began in earnest at 8:30 a.m. this morning. Blaine will go without food, but with liquids, for the roughly 60-hour period.

He will also be unable to sleep and be fitted with a catheter for all his disposal needs.

Usually a hotbed of friendly hostility onscreen, The View was reportedly a hotbed of good vibrations backstage this week. That's because musician and erotic boutique owner Dave Stewart, of Eurhythmics fame, brought samples of his sex-shop wares for each of the show's divas.

Specifically, according to the gossips at Page Six, Stewart brought $325 gold vibrators for Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Sherri Shepherd and Elizabeth Hasselbeck, which had the women "atwitter over their present."

Needless to say, we expect the show to be really humming next week.

Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse are old news. At least to spammers, phishers and other online villains, who have attached their hopes—and pop-up ads—to Brad Pitt, Heidi Montag and George Clooney.

Pitt, Montag and Clooney are among the stars currently most used by cyber tricksters to lure users to sites rife with spyware, viruses and other system-clogging junk, according to the Internet security company McAfee.

Spears, Hilton and Winehouse are among the stars who used to be hot and now are not.

"We know in general that the bad guys are going for the most popular celebrities," says McAfee research analyst Shane Keats. "And we know Paris Hilton has not been as much in the news this year as last year."

Andy Dick's defense team was left speechless today.

With his lawyers primed to enter a plea in Riverside, Calif., in the comedian's battery/public intoxication/Xanax-and-pot-possession case, both sides instead found themselves on the receiving end of a schedule change.

Dick's arraignment has been delayed until Oct. 3 "as a result of a miscommunication between defense counsel and prosecutors regarding plea negotiations,” a court public information officer told E! News Tuesday.
