Free Britney

If you catch our paraphrased Star Trek drift, it looks like Josh Henderson is preparing to boldly go where only a few hundred men have gone before.

What we're saying is that the Desperate Housewives actor is getting cozy with Paris Hilton and it's only a matter of time before he waxes that booty. Let's be honest with ourselves. She gets around... like a record. No offense, Stavros Niarchos.

The cute new duo shared a late dinner at West Hollywood hotspot eatery Koi Tuesday - and it looks like PDA was on the menu. "They weren't very shy about showcasing their affection," kissing and touching each other," a fellow diner reports.

One can only wonder how Desperate co-star Eva Longoria feels about Josh's conquest. We have a pretty good idea what another co-star, Jesse Metcalfe, is thinking. He's indifferent - that stud can sleep with whatever girl he wants.

And we all know what Randy Spelling is thinking. Something along the lines of: "Good thing I tapped that before she became a disease-ridden waste."

Ray J.

Kim Kardashian.

Some things are just meant to be together.

With this philosophy in mind, ESPN and ABC decided to collaborate with the Sports Gal for weekly recaps of The Bachelor, the new season of which debuts Monday.

Her recaps will run Tuesdays after the show.

Suffice it to say, the Sports Gal's worse half, the Sports Guy (a.k.a. Bill Simmons) is pretty psyched up about her efforts, which will run alongside his ESPN columns.

He writes:

"She's aiming for four paragraphs per recap. So alert your girlfriends, wives, mistresses and platonic female friends that you're secretly trying to sleep with - on April 2, the Sports Gal returns. In the words of Pete Carroll, I'm as shocked as you guys."

Well put. Like the Sports Gal, T.H. Gossip will be tracking the progress of Andy Baldwin as he attempts to follow in the footsteps of Lorenzo Borghese.

And after what he pulled with Sadie Murray, those are some big footsteps.

Giant boobs.

They're pretty synonymous with Victoria Beckham.

And while one can forgive David Beckham for being attracted to them, there is just something we have to get off our chest (pun…. intended).

It's amazing someone as well-endowed as Posh Spice has not realized that women typically wear bras under thin T-shirts or revealing tops like this one…

Then again, the woman hangs out with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, so it's not like she's a beacon of common sense to start with.

Nevertheless, what the hell is she thinking? Sure, we're always happy to post these pictures on The Hollywood Gossip dot com. And we don't mind looking at them for our own enjoyment, either. It'll certainly make great reality TV fodder.

But think of the example she's setting for her son (pictured with her). Is this what he's going to grow up thinking is normal? Crazy drunk cyborgs for parents?

Just watch. The kid is going to form a celebrity toddler support group with Sean Preston.

You don't hear too much about Michelle Williams these days. Maybe that's a good thing. The former Dawson's Creek star seems content to stay out of the spotlight, chilling with Heath Ledger and their daughter, Matilda.

Thus, when we came across these pictures today, we were somewhat taken aback by the actress' cuteness. So we present to you these recent pics of Michelle. We know, we know. It's not as interesting to read about as Jessica Smith getting arrested... or as lewd as the Kim Kardashian sex tape stills.

But that's okay, because Michelle Williams is a cutie:

Former Laguna Beach star Jessica Smith was arrested for driving under the influence on Monday on a freeway near Laguna Beach, the California Highway Patrol reports.

The 19-year-old Laguna Beach alumna was driving her 1999 Volkswagen Bug (loser!) with one other passenger inside when her car rear-ended an Acura.

The wreck was due to Jessica Smith's "level of intoxication, unsafe speed, and wet roadway conditions," a CHP statement read.

Well, at least one out of the three factors wasn't her fault. She was arrested on a felony DUI charge and booked at the Orange County Jail.

The driver of the Acura, Roy Hernandez of Lake Forest, Calif., sustained minor injuries. The passenger in Jessica Smith's car, Lindsay Cooper, 20, suffered minor injuries.

Smith is still being held in an Orange County jail. Her bail was set at $100,000, and she is due in court tomorrow morning. Maybe pal Kristin Cavallari can bail her out.

Smith dated co-star Jason Wahler on Season 2 of the show. After they broke up, the couple totally hooked up again - when he was seeing Lauren Conrad. Drama!

Then, last season, with all her classmates graduated, Jessica Smith was, like, totally "that girl" who hung around town and couldn't leave high school behind.

She appeared on Season 3 on a regular basis as the girlfriend of junior Cameron Brinkman... as long as his friends or other hookup possibilities weren't around.

Incidentally, Wahler was recently sentenced to jail time for his role in an assault case last year. Maybe he and Jessica can commiserate. Somehow we forgot to list Jessica in our Jason Wahler DUI sweepstakes. We also left off Taboo. Shame.

Taboo, a member of the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas, was arrested on DUI charges last night after he crashed his car.

The incident happened about 20 miles east of Los Angeles.

No word on whether fellow Black Eyed Peas Fergie or will.i.am have spoken to Taboo.

According to police, Taboo - a.k.a. Jaime Luis Gomez - was cited for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of a prescribed medication without a prescription, and driving under the influence.

That's a stellar combination of substances that would make Nicole Richie proud. Maybe they were even hanging out together before the wreck.

Taboo is the latest D-list celebrity to be arrested, following the likes of Jason Wahler. Congratulations on this high honor, man.

Get it? He was stoned! Anyway, check out our full gallery of celebrity mug shots.

Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears are not getting back together!

Well, romantically, at least. That's been his stance from the get-go. But the Bosh reports that the two are set to record a duet.

JT is confident the record can help Britney Spears rebuild her faltering pop career and get her back on track.

"Britney was extremely touched that Justin had been in contact. Going into the studio is Justin's way of helping her get better," a source says.

The pair are planning to visit a L.A. recording studio with Timbaland to re-record the Motown classic "You're All I Need to Get By" - originally a hit for Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in 1968.

Earlier this month, Timbaland approached Justin, who first met Spears while starring on "The Mickey Mouse Club" and dated her for four years, to help propel Britney back to the top of the charts.

"I feel her pain, it really bothers me," Timbaland said. "I asked Justin, 'How would you feel about me working with Britney? Would you do it with me?' He said he would - if she's serious."

Britney checked out of rehab last week. Shortly before she was admitted, she shocked the public with bizarre behavior such as shaving her head.

The sober bald beauty stepped out in public for the first time with two of her girlfriends, Spears took a one-hour dance class at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood on Friday, March 23.

Later that evening, a blue-eyed Spears and three girlfriends met up for a sushi dinner at trendy Japanese fusion joint SHU-Sushi House Unico. Too bad a newly-single Timberlake missed out!

Hopefully, this is a sign of a healthy Britney getting her life back on track. Surely Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline will appreciate it.

You're not being punk'd. Well, probably not.

T.H. Gossip recalls that MTV did announce it was canning the show once before, only to run it back with several more seasons.

But this time, it looks like the affable Ashton Kutcher is pulling the plug on his popular gag show for good after eight stellar seasons.

The final season of MTV's Punk'd, which premieres April 10, will showcase Hilary Swank, Magic Johnson, Nelly Furtado and Jewel getting served.

For those who can't wait that long for their celebrities-getting-hosed fix, Rumer Willis' stepdad will host a "sneak peek marathon" on April 7 in which all eight episodes will air in succession.

Finally, on June 5, Kutcher will host the special "Punk'd Awards," to commemorate his life's work. Which is actually a pretty funny show.

Some of the many Punk'd career highlights:

• Tricking Halle Berry into thinking she couldn't get into a movie premiere... of her own film.
• Making Lindsay Lohan believe she made a limo driver miss his child's birth.
• Convincing Justin Timberlake that he failed to pay the IRS, and as a result, the government was confiscating all of his belongings.
• Staging a carjacking and police standoff during Hilary Duff's driver education class (in our opinion, his finest hour).
• Watching Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo freak the f--- out as waitresses hit on her boyfriend, Chris Ivery.

When Andy Baldwin takes center stage on the new edition of The Bachelor, which premieres next week, he'll certainly have some tough choices.

One is a lawyer who's also a bodybuilder. That's hard core. Another will sing the national anthem to a guy in the first episode. There's a former beauty queen in there too (sadly, her name isn't Katie Rees - she's a one-time Miss Illinois).

And there are 22 more.

Subtitled "Officer and a Gentleman," the 10th edition of The Bachelor will feature Andy Baldwin, a 30-year-old doctor and lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, surrounded by 25 women all looking for the man of their dreams.

The show debuts at 9:45 p.m. next Monday, April 2. We can't wait.

As usual, the festivities begin with the women arriving via limousine. But unlike past seasons of The Bachelor, Baldwin must give a rose to one of them as soon as she says hello.

ABC notes that Linda, the aforementioned bodybuilder, challenges Baldwin (a veteran triathlete not related to Alec Baldwin) to a push-up contest. Another lovely lady does backflips in her evening gown. Ten women go home on the first night, with one of them really not happy about it.

Maybe this time will be the charm for the lucky lady. None of the past seasons of The Bachelor have spawned an actual lasting marriage. That's right. We're talking 0-9.

It's worth noting that The Bachelorette spinoff star, Trista Rehn (now Trista Sutter) is married to Ryan Sutter, however. She's also pregnant with their first child! Congrats, Trista and Ryan!

As for last year's Bachelor, Lorenzo Borghese? He could still make it 1-8... sort of. In terms of entertainment, he set the bar pretty high for Andy Baldwin after choosing Jennifer Wilson in the season finale, only to dump her for runner-up Sadie Murray after the show ended.

The incomparable Posh & Becks were reportedly all kinds of f*%ked up after a drunken night out with rap mogul Diddy in London.

Diddy's in town on business (though he reportedly canceled his tour with Snoop Dogg) but found time to met up with the hot couple at London's Automat Bar.

Sources say a couple of hours of Cristal swigging left David Beckham and Victoria Beckham almost crawling to their car. Lightweights. Peep these pics:

What a couple of hacks. Don't they know that Scientology doesn't permit this kind of hard-core substance abuse? Bad Posh. TomKat is not gonna be pleased.

Incidentally, what is that metrosexual ass clown wearing? Just because you got a big contract and you're moving to L.A. doesn't mean you have to look like a tool. Or maybe it does. The L.A. Galaxy may have written a clause in. We really don't know.

No word on whether any large breasts were on display during this boozefest. It's a pretty safe bet, though, given who we're dealing with.
