Princess Paris' Wedding, Spears & Federline Poor?

Pop princess BRITNEY SPEARS reportedly wants to rush a new album into stores, because she's running out of money since becoming pregnant.

The pop star and husband KEVIN FEDERLINE are struggling to fund their lavish celebrity lifestyle and the recent $7 million purchase and renovations on a new Malibu, California house, because neither is working -- Spears put her career on hold after conceiving the couple's first child, and dancer Federline hasn't worked for over a year.

According to New York Post columnist CINDY ADAMS, the panicking pop princess wants to release another money-making CD.

Adams reports, "Mrs. Federline recently made a quiet call to her record label. The gist of the discussion: We've got to get money in the house. Cash flow is going down. How about we cut another album?"

MARIAH'S SISTER IS A HOOKER
July 9, 2005

The National Enquirer is reporting that MARIAH CAREY's older sister was arrested last month for prostitution in Suffolk County, New York. ALISON CAREY -- who has been diagnosed HIV-positive -- was arrested after agreeing to meet a client on his boat at a Long Island marina because she advertised her services on an Internet call girl site, using the name April.

Police arrested the 43-year-old after she solicited an undercover cop, reportedly offering him sex for $250. She could now face up three months in prison.

This is not the first time the singer's sister has been in trouble for prostitution.

In April, she pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, for which she was fined $200.

Alison has had a troubled past and a stormy relationship with her family, particularly her famous younger sister.

She shockingly confessed she started selling her body as a teenager and that her prostitution paid for limousines to take Mariah to her early shows.

In the early 1990s, Alison was so broke and drug-addicted that her mother got custody of her son.

Alison gave birth to another boy and spent years in welfare motels and sleeping in cars. She later lost custody of that child as well.

In 2000, Alison attempted to sell a tell-all book about her life and her famous sister, whom she called a "vain and heartless multi-millionairess"

People magazine reports that the sexy actress has named her new little girl ZAHARA MARLEY JOLIE.

Hip-hop superstar 50 CENT is reportedly wrapped up in a romance with his new movie co-star JOY BRYANT.

The G-unit rapper -- real name CURTIS JACKSON -- is currently filming the semi-autobiographical drama "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" in his native New York City.

Bryant was linked to R&B crooner USHER earlier this year after she appeared in his untitled 20-minute musical short-film.

An on-set source tells the New York Daily News, "Joy has a history of hooking up with her leading men.

"But her and 50 are keeping this quiet. They avoid each other on the set, but there is a lot of sneaking into each other's hotel rooms."

A representative for Bryant says, "I have no idea and I don't really comment on her personal life."

The hardcore rapper once dated stunning 'Kill Bill' actress VIVICA A. FOX but reportedly dumped her because he thought she was a bimbo.

He said at the time, "We're over. I'm looking for a girl who's intelligent, has class and they don't have to be that beautiful".

"She was really putting him down He's sitting there, sweating, and she's just bitching about him. I was just like, 'Wow, this isn't what I expected at all'. It looked like work"

In related news, Pamela Anderson is back with ex husband Tommy Lee. The former couple were spotted out and about at the launch of Rokbar in Hollywood on Thursday night and left no doubt about their feelings for each another. They held hands, kissed and hugged all night.

P. MCDIDDY'S?
July 9, 2005

Hip-hop mogul SEAN 'P. DIDDY' COMBS is being considered to redesign McDonald's staff uniforms. The rapper's fashion company, Sean John, is just one of the high profile design houses in contention for the job, with RUSSELL SIMMONS, TOMMY HILFIGER and DAMON DASH all being considered, too.

McDonalds, which claims to be the world's largest youth employer, is said to be willing to pay up to $100 million for the right design.

"We believe that restaurant employees are brand ambassadors, and this is a great opportunity to have crew uniforms which are reflective of that," said McDonald's spokesman. "This would create designs that they'll be proud to wear not only in the restaurant, but outside, as well." P Diddy's spokesman told the New York Daily News, "Sean John is one of the hottest brands around, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if McDonald's is vying for it."

If Diddy gets the lucrative contract, it would be another scoop for the multi-talented rapper. He recently signed actress PENELOPE CRUZ to model his clothing line for women.

MADONNA: STINKY AND RUDE
July 9, 2005

According to former model JANICE DICKINSON, pop queen MADONNA was more famous for her horrifying body odor than her singing prowess when she first started out.

The pop sensation used to hit the town with her old pal Dickinson, who claims Madonna's stench was often too much to bear, and she frequently had to keep a safe distance from the Material Girl.

She tells Page Six, "In the '80s before she was famous, I used to go dancing with Madonna at Danceteria.

"Madonna had the most vicious body odor. It was like she had not showered in a week.

"She was a great dancer, but I tried not to get too close to her or I would literally pass out. It was that bad. It was total skank."

PRINCESS PARIS ROYAL WEDDING?
July 9, 2005

Hotel heiress PARIS HILTON has decided she wants to get married at either St Paul's Cathedral or Westminster Abbey, and sees no reason why the British Royal family wouldn't let her.

"I'm the closest thing to American royalty anyway," says Paris, seemingly oblivious to the fact that only royalty or heads of state can be married there. "I've always wanted to be a princess on my big day and only a wedding in England could make that happen. I've got my heart set on a ceremony at St Paul's or Westminster but I've had to write to the Prince to ask for a dispensation."

However, the hotel heiress has an alternative plan should her request be declined. "Windsor is a cool back-up," she adds. "PRINCE CHARLES got married there so it's good enough for me."
