Now that Diane Sawyer's comforting bosom has lured all kinds of pregnancy details out of Nicole Richie, we can get right down to what actually matters: Putting our hard-earned blogging cash — all $20 of it — on the 11-1 odds Bodog.com is giving that she will name her kid "Britney."

LonelyGirl15, the runaway YouTubes hit that we once watched for 15 seconds and never returned to after deciding we didn't care if Bree is a real person or not, has just wrapped its first season. Yay? [CNN.com]

· Now here's a classy problem: So many movies are making so much money that studios are having a hard time holding onto screens for their weeks-old, but still popular, product, as the flood of new releases suck up precious space at the multiplex. [Variety]
· Producers Alan Ladd Jr. and Jay Kanter win $3.2 million in damages from Warner Bros., which a jury determined screwed them out of millions in Blade Runner, Police Academy, and Chariots of Fire profits through those cute creative accounting practices studios love so much. [THR]
· Not that we don't like Steve Zahn, but it can't be a great sign for Jennifer Aniston's movie career if he's the biggest name they could get to star alongside her in a romantic comedy. (On second thought, feel free to swap their names and muse that Zahn should fire his agent.) [Variety]
· Katherine Heigl starts a production company with her mother. Adorable! (OK, she's her momager, but still. Cute!) [THR]
· Good news, karaoke fans: Fox has decided to keep Don't Forget The Lyrics on in the Fall, as part of a scheduling strategy they hope helps reverse their recent trend of throwing up their hands in defeat until American Idol saves them in January. [Variety]

Be forewarned: This one's going to be pretty rough. According to KNBC.com, a man was mauled to death by a dog on Ving Rhames' property:

The near-constant attention that's accompanying the imminent opening of Rush Hour 3 seems to have turned the already unedited Brett Ratner into something of a chronic oversharer. A couple of days ago, Ratner offhandedly informed the audience at Chinese Theatre know that he lost his virginity at a precocious 13, and in an interview posted on The Advocate's website today, the director deflects accusations that his new movie features some cheap, homophobic jokes by falling back on the time-worn defense [along the lines of—see clarification immediately following!], "Some of the best blowjobs I've ever gotten were by dudes pretending to be chicks." [Ed.note—Allow us to clarify that we are not saying that Mr. Ratner ever spoke these words. They are an apparently confusing attempt to parody the "Some of my best friends "are of x race/sexual persuasion/religion" defense used when an open-minded individual is accused of bias. Also, we in no way mean to imply that the act described to the Advocate below was among the best he's received. Thanks for staying with us during this joke-killing Defamer Clarification.] Wait, what? Ratner explains:

The dogged persistence with which Lindsay Lohan appears to be grinding her career into a fine powder and snorting it off the seat of the crapper is so thorough, and so consistent, that it's almost a welcome show of commitment in this fickle town. In addition to appearing headed for a long, glorious career in the straight-to-video market thanks to I Know Who Killed Me, Lindsay has also managed to convince the folks at Louis Vuitton that she's a sticky-fingered little wastrel who can't be trusted:

Trust us, you'll want to watch this clip of an X-Gamer wiping out in the middle of a "big air" event. Don't worry—he was more or less fine after the 50-foot fall. [Gawker]

By now, we thought that former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington serial silence- breakings about the turbulent events of his recent career would be yielding diminishing returns, with nothing he could offer at this point possibly topping the virtuoso gay-conspiracy theories and McDreamy character assassinations to which we've been treated since his firing. But we were wrong. So very, very wrong. In an interview with EW.com meant to clarify the timeline of his controversial addition to the cast of Bionic Woman, Washington recounts the amazing speed with which newly installed NBC rock star Ben Silverman moved to adopt him into his network family once he discovered that the actor had been disowned by ABC. We pick up the narrative at the Chateau Marmont, where Ozwald "House of" Boateng, upon hearing that his buddy Isaiah needed a new job, set into motion the following series of completely fucking insane events:

As it turns out, the punishing questions of Good Morning America celebrity interrogator Diane Sawyer that led an overmatched, psychologically vulnerable Nicole Richie to admit that the baffling urban planning of Glendale induced her to drive the wrong way on the freeway were only intended to soften up the subject for the kill.

· Ever find yourself wondering what Survivor legend Sue Hawk is doing with herself these days? Wonder no more: Thanks to a visit from Access Hollywood, we know she's blasting snakes with a shotgun and lighting shit on fire with a propane torch. In other words: Exactly what we thought she'd be doing. Hey, beats going to jail for tax evasion.
· In case you have any doubt about who owns the Lane Garrison beat, here's one TMZ for each post they've run about his court appearance today: TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ, TMZ.

After Paris's lesson that "pokey" refers to more than just something you do with a Greek dude after the clubs close became a complete media clusterfuck, it was probably inevitable that Nicole Richie's legal drama would feel like sloppy seconds. Sure, her crime was more interesting — doping up her cramps like they were Corey Haim, and then getting duped by Glendale's otherworldly freeways — and there's that pregnancy wrinkle, yet her sentencing still had a been-there, done-that feel. And now comes news that she could even end up enslaved to the same burly, unwaxed inmate:

· The Egyptian hosts the L.A. premiere of Trapped Ashes, the story of "seven strangers trapped inside an infamous house of horrors"during a Hollywood movie studio tour and forced to tell their most terrifying personal stories in order to get out alive." Doesn't that happen at least once a day at Universal? Anyway, after the screening, various cast and crew members will stick around for a discussion.

While we were secretly hoping that the ongoing feud between filicidal Viacom overlord Sumner Redstone and traitorous offspring Shari would end with an executive futilely attempting to pry the ageless patriarch's bony fingers from his rebellion-fomenting daughter's throat, it now seems that their battle might end without a death in the family. Slate's Kim Masters reports that the conflict seems like it may "blow over," but gets some company insiders to handicap how the fight might've turned out had it continued:

Brazen Santa Monica jaywalkers, beware! A concerned operative with your best interests at heart writes: "Massive jay-walking sting operation outside HBO, MTV, and Lionsgate. No fewer than four Santa Monica motorcycle cops at the corner of Colorado and Cloverfield, ticketing dozens of pedestrians. Be warned."
