Announcer: "And now, the world premiere of Heidi Montag's video of 'Higher.'"
Lo, LC, Stephen (and the other 19,997 in attendance): HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Looks like Mel Gibson may have some company.

Upon being fired from the TLC show Miami Ink last year, tattoo artist Kat Von D allegedly signed a photograph addressed to her former boss / co-star, Ami James, and drew a swastika and a flaming Star of David on it...

As much as a lot of people wanna see Kat Von D nude, if she wrote this, that's messed up. We thought she was edgy, but laid back and cool! WTF, Kat!?

No one witnessed Kat Von D write the message, but Chris Garver, another tattoo artist on Miami Ink, said Kat personally handed him the anti-Semitic photo - which TMZ obtained and posted on its website earlier this afternoon.

Ami James, a native of Israel who served in the Israeli Special Forces prior to starting his career as a tattoo artist, reportedly went to TLC management when he received the photo, but sources say he was rebuffed.

After Ami had a lawyer intervene, a handwriting analyst concluded "there is a 99 percent probability that Kat Von D" wrote the message."

In early July 2007, Ami's lawyer went to TLC with the analysis. They simply sent him a letter back that acknowledged receiving the results and said, "We trust that this information will be kept strictly confidential."

Kat Von D's spinoff show, LA Ink, premiered a month later.

Hey, if you've got blood-sucking leeches like Sam Lutfi trying to control your daughter's money and mind, Adnan Ghalib must seem downright normal.

After her release from UCLA and its psychiatric ward, Britney Spears spent her first night at home with her mom, dad and Adnan.

Word has it that it was civil and everyone got along nicely.

"From what I was told, everything was very civilized," a source close to Adnan Ghalib, a celebrity photographer, told People.

After Spears' unexpected release from UCLA Wednesday, "Britney called Adnan to meet her at the Beverly Hills Hotel. He had been talking with [parents] Lynne and Jamie Spears for the past few days," says the source.

Britney and Adnan had a meeting with lawyer Adam Streisand, who announced Thursday that he is off the case. The pair then met up with Jamie and Lynne.

Adnan Ghalib also confirmed in a posting on his celebrity photo agency's website (FinalPixx.com) that he had been in contact with her parents.

"As the day unraveled, they have all agreed to get Britney safely back to her home so she can get the medical care and love that she deserves," says a posting on FinalPixx.com about Spears and Ghalib.

"After spending most of the evening with The Spears [family] ... Adnan left and went back home at 2:30 a.m. to give the family some alone time."

Adnan Ghalib, who began seeing Britney in December, is married to AzLynn Berry, but has been separated for a year and was just served with divorce papers.

Lynne Spears left her daughter's home just after midnight Thursday, while Jamie Spears remained there through Thursday morning.

The folks were reportedly frustrated by Britney's early release and their lack of ability to enforce the court-ordered conservatorship that lets them control her medical treatment, as well as her legal and financial decisions.

Despite reports that they were axed, The Hills stars Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port say they weren't given the pink slip by Teen Vogue.

"I just thought it was time for them to try something new," Editor-In-Chief Amy Astley told Us Weekly. "An internship is a short thing, and I just felt it was time for them to move on a little bit."

Women's Wear Daily previously reported that Teen Vogue decided to part ways with the MTV reality show because of The Hills' gal pals' wild (but entertaining!) lifestyles of clubbing at Les Deux, making out and feuding.

LC and Whitney left Teen Vogue, but weren't fired.

"I think that's really why Teen Vogue had had their moment with them â€" it went into another zone," their boss, editor Lisa Love, said.

So... is The Hills scripted?

"I think why they say all that is because there's so much editing," Love said. "They shoot reality and somehow it's changed in the editing room to appeal to things, I don't know. I've never watched the show."

Ouch! Love added that Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port were great interns and then like all interns, "it's time to go someplace else, right?"

Seems like LC has already moved on. She recently unveiled her new clothing line, the Lauren Conrad Collection!

It's been awhile, but once again, the incomparable Stephen Colbert has taken the time out of his hit Comedy Central show, The Colbert Report, to tackle more important issues. It's been a hell of a week.

Who (and what) makes the latest "On Notice" board? Let's see…

Can you really argue with his selections? Cardin McKinney fans gotta calm down: their gal ain't gonna win American Idol; and President Bush's Economic Stimulus Plan? Weak! As for the rest of the list…

• Seriously, take it easy, Mams Taylor. No way Taryn Manning is worth it.

• We've got our eye on you, Mitt Romney! Keep connecting a vote for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to a national security surrender and we'll make sure you won't even be able to win the presidency of your local kennel in 2012.

• Go find a real cause, PETA. No one cares about roosters. And have you seen Pedro Martinez's change up?!?

• The Middle East: Angelina Jolie is coming for you. Be warned. Be aroused.

• We hope you had your fun with all that alcohol, troubled liver of Kirsten Dunst. The actress has put you on notice: it's time to get healthy.

• Finally, we pity the Las Vegas police force. Katie Rees is out there, drunk, naked and combative!

Who knew that Simon Rex was still alive, let alone making celebrity gossip headlines?

The former MTV VJ was spotted out this week with Paris Hilton. Apparently, these two used to date. Now, having worn out Stavros Niarchos, Alex Vaggo and pretty much every other male in Hollywood, Hilton has come full circle.

Meanwhile, on this night at least, Rex also came... full circle. Think about it.

Come on. Taryn Manning isn't even that hot.

Nevertheless, a fight supposedly broke out last night over the little known actress. A one-sided fight, really.

As TMZ reports, Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe was punched to the ground outside a Los Angeles club Thursday night.

The culprit? Some dude named Mams Taylor. He's a wannabe rapper from England whose been dating the aforementioned Manning. According to sources, Metcalfe told friends that he was jumped because he had been talking to Manning that night.

When Mams Taylor attacks... this happens!

Okay, those two points aren't really related, but they are still facts. Have you heard any of Ashlee's supposed music? Just asking.

In any event, Tony Romo has gotten a lot of flak for his romance with the almost equally talentless Jessica Simpson, but at least her pimp (father Joe) approves. How, he's gotten the coveted endorsement of Ashlee, too.

"I love him!" the quote-unquote singer, 23, told Us Weekly at the Pure TV Grammy party at Goa nightclub in Hollywood last night.

When asked if she is happy for Jessica Simpson, her less attractive little sister replied, "Absolutely happy. [Tony Romo] is really cool."

Added Ashlee's beau, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz: "He is a cool dude."

Tony Romo can't win a playoff game, but he's won the heart of Jessica Simpson, and the approval of her younger, talentless, plastic surgery-loving sister, Ashlee.

This vote of confidence comes on the heels of Holly Wellin throwing her support behind Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential race.

Meanwhile, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz wouldn't budge when asked about their own Valentine's Day plans for next week.

"We can't tell each other, so we can't tell you," Ashlee, who just released her new single "Outta My Head," said.

When asked if the two, who've been dating since late 2006, were ready to tie the knot, the younger Simpson just chuckled.

Pete Wentz said, however, "Maybe we will do it right here. Right here tonight. It is a big wedding night."

Forget Vanessa Hudgens or Ashley Tisdale.

Lucas Grabeel might be the prettiest girl in the High School Musical cast.

Take a look at the actor in a dress on the set of his new movie, Milk. The film is about California's first openly gay elected politician, Harvey Milk (Sean Penn).

Grabeel will reportedly play Daniel Nicoletta, a clerk in Milk's famed Castro Street camera store in San Francisco.
