Paris Hilton is being sued by a woman who claims the spoiled socialite stole her look.

Apparently someone else wants credit for "skanky chic."

Nicolle O'Neill claims she's suffering from "emotional distress" because she's served as an inspiration to the fashion choices of the party-loving heiress. This is akin to someone seeking props for Amy Winehouse's social behavior, or Lance Armstrong's recent taste in women.

In a bizarre personal injury complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court earlier this month, O'Neill alleges that she suffers psychologically because of Hilton and accuses the 26-year-old of ripping off her style, including fashion-related "patens" (sic) and "stiling" (sic) tips.

More Paris Hilton naked would mean fewer lawsuits for the heiress. We're just sayin. 

There's a claim that Paris stole O'Neill's idea to expose her underwear under her trousers, while O'Neill also states the ex-girlfriend of Stavros Niarchos (and Tyler Atkins, and Alex Vaggo) swiped her idea to shop in vintage stores for retro dresses.

It takes a whole lot to get us on the side of Hilton, but this moron has managed to do it. She may wish to spend more time learning how to spell and less time wasting the time of U.S. courts.

Forget Vanessa Hudgens naked pictures.

Zac Efron doesn't need these props to help him get started. After all, the actor is just 21 years old. He's ready to get it on at any time, enticing photos meant to rev his engine be damned.

That's the message the High School Musical star relayed to the public earlier this week, as he and his girlfriend were spotted holding hands. Just Do It, Zac's shirt says.

And we all know to what he's referring. Vanessa is in for a wild ride tonight!

Streetwalking harlot? Fashion-challenged tigress? Midriff-baring carnie? Employee of a celebrity photo agency? Or fiesta queen? Who the heck knows!

Only Britney Spears - and perhaps not even Britney Spears - knows what the heck Britney Spears was supposed to be as she donned a variety of costumes - including a pink zebra showgirl getup and a TMZ press pass in honor of Halloween at Heidi Klum's annual costume bash at The Green Door in Hollywood.

Hey, it's not like she has anything better to do - like spend time with her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. The court says that's just not safe for the lil' mistakes.

It's official. A judge has ruled that Perez Hilton may legally continue to desecrate the otherwise good name of celebrity gossip at his leisure.

Or something like that.

An L.A. County Superior Court judge just dismissed a $20 million lawsuit filed by DJ Samantha Ronson against Hilton over an article the rotund one ran in May.

The item suggested that Samantha Ronson supplied the cocaine that was found in Lindsay Lohan's car during her infamous Memorial Day DUI crash.

The First Amendment (and Perez Hilton) soundly defeated a lowly DJ.

Perez Hilton, a.k.a. Mario Lavandeira, argued that Ronson's lawsuit was an unfair attempt to stifle his right of free speech, and the judge agreed.

The judge also ordered Ronson to pay all of Perez's legal fees. Oh snap.

Well, that's that. No matter how you look at it, this is a truly a great day, and a great victory for celebrity news... more unfunny, doctored celebrity pics for all.

Following her perfect score on Monday night's Dancing with the Stars, Melanie Brown looks rather happy for herself alongside husband Stephen Belafonte.

Sorry, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, your Dancing with the Stars partner is busy with her husband right now. She'll get back with you soon.

Tennis star Martina Hingis said Thursday that she's been accused of testing positive for cocaine at Wimbledon this year, but she denied using the drug.

She also announced her retirement from tennis.

"I find this accusation so horrendous, so monstrous that I've decided to confront it head on by talking to the press," Martina Hingis said. "I am frustrated and angry. I believe that I am absolutely 100 percent innocent."

"I believe" that I am innocent? That's about as believable as all of those claims of innocence and hunting down "real killers" O.J. Simpson used to make.

Martina Hingis: Snorting coke, retiring from tennis, lookin' good!

"They say that cocaine increases self-confidence and creates a type of euphoria," she said. "I don't know. I only know that if I were to try to hit the ball while in any state of euphoria, it simply wouldn't work.

"I think it would be impossible for anyone to maintain the coordination required to play top class tennis while under the influence of drugs. I know one other thing â€" I would personally be terrified of taking drugs."

Just keep clinging to that raft, sweetheart. The 27-year-old Swiss cutie lost in the third round at Wimbledon this year. Hingis said she was accused by "an outsource testing company" of taking cocaine during the Grand Slam event.

The longtime doubles parter of Anna Kournikova said she was "shocked and appalled" when her urine sample came back positive at Wimbledon.

Martina Hingis, who lost in the third round of the U.S. Open, hasn't played since her second-round loss to Peng Shuai of China in Beijing on September 19.

Martina won three straight Australian Open titles from 1997-99, and also won Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 1997. She was hot back then, too.

What's next for this young, retired star? We can only hope she follows in the tennis / reality TV footsteps of Mark Philippoussis and stars in Age of Love-ette!

At least now Vincent Margera can feel a little better. He's not the only overweight moron to have a mug shot displayed on The Hollywood Gossip dot com today.

Rapper and noted Mariah Carey BFF Da Brat was arrested outside of Atlanta after she allegedly hit a waitress in the face with a bottle of rum while partying at Jermaine Dupri's Studio 72 nightclub around 1:15 a.m. this morning. Classy.

Law enforcement sources say dat Da Brat (real name Shawntae Harris) got into an alteraction and smashed the waitress after she - gasp - bumped into the rapper.

The two began pushing and shoving each other until she walked away. That's when Da Brat allegedly turned around and assaulted her with a bottle.

Da Brat: Da phat booking photo.

The "Celebrity Fit Club" star is currently in custody and has been charged with felony aggravated assault. Da Brat will be arraigned in the next 72 hours.

Da Brat was previously arrested in 2000 for allegedly pistol whipping a woman in an Atlanta nightclub - she pleaded guilty and was put on probation.

We shudder to think - a rapper getting in trouble with the law? We never saw this one coming... much like we were completely thrown off by legal woes encountered by Snoop Dogg, Diddy, Eve, The Game, T.I. and Lil Wayne.

Forget about Britney Spears, Alli Sims and Carrie Underwood. It looks like football star Tony Romo is really going out with One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush.

Nearly four months after splitting with Carrie Underwood, the Dallas Cowboys star quarterback was spotted dining with Sophia Bush on October 22.

And get this - he introduced her to his parents the very next night! Looks like he's got ahold of her heart... let's just hope he doesn't fumble inexplicably.

"She can't believe it's happening so fast!" says a friend of Sophia Bush, adding that the One Tree Hill actress already has plans to fly out east to attend ­Tony Romo's game against the New York Giants on November 11. How cute!

  You heard it first here, gossip fans: the Dallas Cowboys will lose that game. Romo's mind clearly isn't on any football game ... just his game with Sophia Bush.

But will this blissful union last? Romo was seen hanging out with - gulp - none other than Britney Spears at Les Deux on October 26, when they were introduced by Spears' pal Alli Sims - another Romo ex-girlfriend, says an Us Weekly source.

On his KIIS-FM radio show two days later, onlooker Ryan Seacrest said he saw Spears give Tony Romo a lap dance that night at Les Deux.

But a Romo source insists, "Tony was disgusted with Britney Spears. It was purely Britney wanting to do it. All he can talk about is Sophia these days."

If so, Tony Romo and Kevin Federline now have two things in common: getting lap dances from Britney Spears and working (it) with Sophia Bush.

Look, Riley Giles, we're not the ones who made you break up with Bree Tierney.

We also didn't force you to step into the celebrity gossip spotlight by dating the STD-nest that is Lindsay Lohan.

So we don't appreciate you flipping us any kind of bird simply for snapping your picture. We're just doing our jobs and - like the work of Britney Spears' lawyers or the raising of Suri Cruise - it's not easy.

Cut us some slack.

Stephen Colbert really is running for president.

The faux conservative pundit is expected to officially file paperwork today to enter the Democratic primary in his home state of South Carolina, CNN reports.

The 43-year-old Colbert announced his bid October 16 on The Colbert Report, saying he would run as both a Democrat and Republican so "I can lose twice."

It looks like pure cost might have altered that plan. The fee to get on the GOP ballot is $35,000, whereas Colbert only has to cough up a modest $2,500 â€" or get 3,000 signatures â€" to get on the Democrat ballot in the Palmetto State.

Stephen Colbert: A political contender or pretender?

So when should Barack Obama start worrying? Probably not soon. The Democratic officials in South Carolina will meet Thursday to decide if the comedian is "viable" and has spent enough time campaigning before putting him on the ballot.

"He does not appear to be campaigning to win if he is only running in one state," said Carol Khare Fowler, chairwoman of the South Carolina Democratic Party.

Another council member, Charleston Democratic Party Chairman Waring Howe, was more blunt: "Over my dead body will Stephen Colbert be on the ballot."

Still, Stephen Colbert made two "campaign" stops in South Carolina last weekend, speaking at a "Rock the Vote" event on Saturday in Charleston and appearing Sunday in Columbia to receive a key to the city from Mayor Bob Coble.

That event attracted over 1,000 people, most of them University of South Carolina students. Better keep an eye in the rear view mirror, Hillary Clinton!
