Don't expect Antonio Fargas -- who played Huggy Bear in the original "Starsky and Hutch" -- to reprise his role in an over-the-hill sequel any time soon.

Sylvester Stallone, cough. Harrison Ford, cough.

Kenny Chesney partied with all sorts of hot chicks in Vegas this week -- too bad he only saw 'em with about 20% of his eyeballs.

SpyOnVegas snapped the squinty-faced singer behind songs like "Beer in Mexico" and "Keg in the Closet" at the Playboy club looking like .... well, he wasn't looking at all.
Instead, the former Mr. Renee Zellweger was focused on trying not to fall over, as two blondes used the guy as a human stripper pole. Kenny look a little stiff to you?

Ace Young's singing is almost a crime -- and the LAPD will back us up on that one.

In the middle of Young's performance, the former Idol says cops pulled the plug, citing a "noise complaint." Yeah, that's pretty much just another way of saying "your music blows!"

Who needs to worry about having the highest gas prices in history when you can get some free Cheesecake Brownie ice cream?

Despite an economy in turmoil, the ONE campaign held an ice cream social yesterday, during work hours, to thank members of Congress for passing legislation that will help to make poverty history. Know another way Congress could help make poverty history? By actually working!

Ashton Kutcher stopped to pay the valet outside the fifth anniversary party for Dolce last night. A nice gesture, but not really necessary when you own the restaurant.

Why is Baskin-Robbins trotting out Tori Spelling to push its new line of soft-serve ice cream on other pregnant women when soft-serve is a known taboo for preggo women?

Several sources in the know -- including one pregnant OB/GYN -- tell TMZ that there are "definite" health risks associated with soft-serve ice cream for expectant moms because of Listeria bacteria. Softie machines can be studded with bacteria that can cause all kinds of issues for newborns -- in fact, Down Under, it's pretty much forbidden for preggo women.
B-R tells TMZ in a statement, "Our Soft Serve products are continuously monitored by our suppliers, and our pasteurization process is state inspected and certified on a regular basis. The only way Listeria, which has been found in a variety of raw foods, can be found in soft serve would be through improper pasteurization."

No, Suge Knight didn't die or kill anyone -- but that's where Chris Masterson's mind automatically went when we asked if he'd heard what happened to him outside of Dolce last night.

Like Suge, Masterson got knocked down in a street brawl back in December. Maybe they should start a club with Jesse Metcalfe.

We know this is going to sound ridiculous, but Scarlett Johansson's engagement ring is actually blingier and more ballin' than she's letting on.
The buzz on ScarJo's bling is that the ring -- designed by Sonia Boyajian -- is around three carats and cost about $30K. Not so, we're told -- the ring is actually "north" of four carats -- and set Ryan back a cool $120,000! Get a piece of that rock.
Reps for the couple didn't comment.

Audrina's replaced LC with the male version of Heidi Montag. And we don't mean Spencer.

Patridge and her skeezy, hated-by-LC ex Justin Bobby went to Dolce's fifth anniversary bash together last night. All is not well in "The Hills" -- LC was nowhere to be seen and was a no-show to the amateur centerfold's b-day party last week, too.

Star Jones has gone from working with four bitches to eight. Pop off!

The former Mrs. Al Reynolds hosted the reunion of trashtastic reality show "The Bad Girls Club" last night and admitted there'd be a trail of dead bodies if she "punched every bitch who called her fat." Does Babwa make that list?

"Boner" is a free man! A judge ruled on Friday that Andrew Koenig, better known as "Boner Stabone" from "Growing Pains" won't face any more jail time or fines for protesting a Chinese float at this year's Rose Parade. Mike Seaver would be so proud!
Cops arrested Koenig after he ran in front of the float holding up a sign that read, "China: Free Burma" and threw him in the clink for more than eight hours - not so fun, especially if you're nickname is "Boner."
The former child star, now 39, promises to, "continue working to help the Burmese - just not by jumping in front of floats." It's not like he's got much else going on. We're just sayin'.

Even when not snuggling up to Jessica Simpson, Cameron Diaz, Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer knows how to take a hot picture.

The tatted up adult-contemporary practical joker pretended to snatch a camera from a store in L.A. on Tuesday. Your body is a shopping bag?
Joking aside, John wound up spending around $11,000 on camera equipment. Hopefully, John and Jen are making a film together.

A spunky Denise Richards was on the "Today" show this AM whoring out her reality show slamming reports she tried to hit up ex Charlie Sheen for his seed -- saying the email making the donor request is a fake.
The email, allegedly sent to Charlie's fiancee Brooke Meuller, says "I am having a baby in the next year. By myself...my girlfriend suggested Charlie be the donor ... Charlie and I have very beautiful healthy children together. I was strictly looking for a sperm donor if it's any of your business."
Charlie blasted back, calling Denise's claims "absurd," adding "If any proof can be established that these are not in fact her words and statements verbatim, I openly invite her and would even encourage Ms. Richards to sue me in a court of law."

Dina Lohan can't understand why people think she's crazy, claiming she's just a normal soccer mom. Perhaps she's forgetting about the restraining orders, whoring out her 14-year-old daughter for a reality show, letting her thrice-rehabbed older daughter go out to bars during the Xmas holidays ... Soccer, we hardly knew her!
