There Won't Be a Heidi Montag Sex Tape After All |
 It looks like we won't be seeing any Heid Montag sex tapes after all. TMZ says that Spencer Pratt's rep sent a letter to Vivid Entertainment, telling them the negotiations are over because he couldn't convince Heidi to go along with it. The letter states, quote, "Heidi's made it very clear that she is not interested in releasing any tapes . . . It looks like she pulled the kill switch." It adds, quote, "Spencer's not interested in further destroying their relationship by pursuing an avenue she's so vehemently against." The letter also says that Spencer hoped a $5 million deal would have been enough to sway Heidi but it didn't, and she was threatening to sue him if he went any further with the negotiations.

Kim K Says She Didn't Turn Out Like LiLo Because of Her Sister Kourtney |
 On last night's "Tonight Show", Kim Kardashian explained why she never turned out like Lindsay Lohan or one of those other troublemaking celebu-skanks.
Turns out she was too busy watching over her drunk older sister Kourtney.
She said, quote, "Well, I've never really been a drinker. I've never gotten really . . . well, not really . . . I've never gotten into drugs. You know, I think I have such a close family . . .
"At a young age, you know, I think my sisters did enough drinking to kind of fill up the whole family, so I think from a young age, my dad made it very clear that, 'OK, you're the responsible one, you have to watch your sister.'
"And he taught me how to drive when I was 14 in case my sister or her friends were going to be drinking, and I had always had permission to drive, or else I had to call him from the destination to the final place . . .
"So I always felt this sense of pride that he had in me as the responsible one, so I've always wanted to make him proud.
"And I hate the taste of alcohol."

Crocodile Dundee Is Trapped In Australia |
 Paul Hogan is still trapped in his home country of Australia because Australian authorities say he owes them close to $34 million in back taxes.
(Last month, it was actually reported as almost $38 million. But that was in Australian dollars. In U.S. currency, it's closer to 34-mil.)
Paul, who'll be 71 in October, says he doesn't owe that money. And he's screwed if he can't convince anyone of that because he can't afford to pay even one-tenth of the bill.
He told an Australian TV show, quote, "If I was a tax evader, which I'm not, I must be the dumbest one in the world, because they gave me five years notice that they have seized every piece of paper that my tax advisers and lawyers and accountants have ever had. I kept coming back here."
Paul claims he's being used by tax officials . . . quote, "I know they're absolutely desperate to nail some high-profile character with money to justify the expense to the taxpayer."
(Paul went to Australia a few weeks ago for his mother's funeral. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Linda Kozlowsi, who was his co-star in the "Crocodile Dundee" movies.)
(In addition to the three "Crocodile" flicks, Paul Hogan has only made seven other movies. But before anyone knew who he was in America, he was a huge star in Australia, thanks to his own sketch comedy series, "The Paul Hogan Show".)

Michael Douglas Began Chemo |
 In a new interview with "People" magazine, Michael Douglas says, quote, "I'll beat this" . . . referring, of course, to his throat cancer.
Michael will undergo eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy, (he's already completed his first week,) and doctors have said they expect him to make a full recovery.
But he probably won't be available to help promote the "Wall Street" sequel, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps".
(It hits theaters on September 24th which is the day before Michael's 66th birthday. Michael's chain-smoking wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones, has the same birthday as him. She turns 41 this year.)
Meanwhile, on last night's "Letterman", Michael admitted that the cancer is at Stage 4, which is bad. But it hasn't spread down below his throat, which is good.
And Michael said he has an 80% chance of recovery although when he gets deeper into his treatment, his voice might change and he might not be able to swallow solid food.
Michael said he first noticed something was wrong because he had a persistent sore throat earlier this summer. He underwent a battery of tests, but nobody found anything.
After traveling with his family this summer, he returned home and had another test. That's when they found the cancer.

 Animal control officials have launched a CRIMINAL investigation of Samantha Ronson and her bulldog Cadillac, after Cadillac fatally mauled a tiny, 3-pound Maltese that lived in Sam's apartment building.
One official says, quote, "It's all up to the courts whether or not a person is going to lose the right to own the dog, or that the dog be euthanized, or that there's restrictions against the dog."
He added that the investigation could result in felony charges and he's seen dog owners in similar situations pay fines and / or end up in jail.
The investigation could take two to three months. Authorities will be looking into whether or not Cadillac has ever done anything like this before.
Meanwhile, Samantha has reportedly shipped the dog off to New York to stay with other family members for the time being.
TMZ says that Cadillac got out of the apartment while Sam was sleeping.
On Monday night, several hours after the attack, Sam Tweeted, quote, "I feel incredibly sad and wish I could offer more than condolences, unfortunately there are no words to describe how sorry I am."
