You don't need to be Monica Leigh to take your clothes off.

While that Playboy Playmate does it for cash and fame, other celebrities bare it all in the name of animal protection. We've documented how Holly Madison and Alicia Silverstone have donned birthday suits in ads sponsored by PETA.

The latest to join those beauties? Former Jackass star Steve-O. We know you'd rather see Trishelle Cannatella naked - his co-star in the new stupid reality show, Dr. Steve-O - but you're stuck with this image for now. Blame PETA.

To help cleanse your eyes, at least, here are past ads for the animal rights organization. These star celebrities slightly more attractive than the jackass above: Joanna Krupa and Roselyn Sanchez.

Move over, John Mayer and Minka Kelly. Carrie Underwood and Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford are the newest couple to feature a current music star and an up-and-comer from a critically acclaimed, ratings-impaired TV show.

Chace Crawford, 22, and the insanely cute Carrie Underwood, 24, were locking lips last Friday at NYC club Marquee, according to OK! Magazine.

"They were canoodling all night and stayed until close," revealed one eyewitness.

Saturday, the couple was spotted at Mario Batali's Del Posto restaurant, the Soho Grand and the Rose Bar in the Gramercy Park Hotel.

Well then, that's a lot of eating and drinking together! These two are totally dating. They are together more than Rihanna and Josh Hartnett lately.

At the Soho Grand, Chace Crawford, who stars on the new CW series Gossip Girl with Blake Lively and Leighton Meester, "held court with [Carrie Underwood] at their own private table, kissing and not leaving each other's side."

All we have to say about this is that it's been a tough week for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, the last handsome youngster linked to the American Idol country queen. First they get drubbed by the Patriots and now this.

Paula Abdul has a new roommate. And we're not talking about another tiny, annoying dog.

The American Idol judge and JT Torregiani are now living together in her Beverly Hills home after just five months of dating, according to an insider in In Touch Weekly's October 8 issue, who added the couple is "already talking about getting married."

Looks like you're not alone, Anna Chlumsky and Shaun So!

"She is a different person since he came into her life," the entertainment news source said. "She has lost seven pounds and always goes to the gym."

Abdul and Torregiani first met in April following an American Idol taping and began dating as the sixth-season wrapped its broadcast run.

"She would love to try for a family," the insider told In Touch, supporting a previous statement made by Abdul that children are the "next step" in her life.

Cash Warren and Jessica Alba are back together.

And you can take that to the bank!

After a rumored split, these two celebrities have found their way back into one another's arms. We're mostly happy for them, but still have to wonder if they'll ever find Chris Ivery and Ellen Pompeo-like stability.

After a week absence that tested our patience, The Hills girls returned to bring Season 3's rising, soap-opera style tensions to a new high.

• The subject of this week's drama: Lauren Conrad sex tape rumors.
• The creator of the rumors (or at least the person bringing them up again, months later): Notorious troublemaker Jen Bunney.

Blame it all on the Bunney, indeed.

Lauren Conrad's fair-weather friend returned to The Hills with a vengeance last night, making that annoying ass pouty face and saying "like" and "um" more times than we can count. And blaming Brody Jenner for spreading those LC sex tape rumors that we thought simmered down months ago.

Of course, to any Hills fan, the theory that Brody Jenner spread sex tape rumors about Lauren Conrad sounds crazy. Where's the motive? This is a guy who won't say a harsh word towards anyone. And his alleged involvement in these rumors is a result of hearsay from - guess who - Heidi Montag.

Yes, Jen Bunney tells Lauren Conrad that Heidi Montag said Brody Jenner made up the rumors. Looks like she's just trying to take the heat off Spencer Pratt.

Traveling the way much celebrity gossip does these days - txt msg, omg - LC gets a message at work that Jen Bunney needs to talk to her. Small talk is not a big part of the equation here, as "Buns" is quick to drop the Lauren Conrad sex tape bomb, so to speak. Poor LC. She's just trying to move on and live her life!

Slightly suspicious of Brody Jenner, Lauren confronts the Prince of Malibu and he skirts the issue, reluctant to admit that he knows Spencer did it. But Lauren starts accusing him and finally he relents, stating that he knows "100 percent for a fact" that the loathsome Spencer Pratt is to blame.

Basically, this whole episode confirmed what we've known for months. You have to love The Hills, people, there's really no show like it.

In other news, Whitney Port was adorable (yet far too sparingly used) at the Teen Vogue offices, while Lauren apologized to Audrina Patridge for being judgmental about Justin Brescia (better known as Justin-Bobby) in Las Vegas.

He had a couple of good lines while shooting pool, although they may have to start giving him subtitles, because he mumbles too much to be understood.

Britney Jean Spears, also known as #1020419, is 5'5" and weighs 125 pounds, her hair is brown and so are her eyes. She was officially arrested at 9:25 p.m. on Monday, October 15, and booked just one minute later.

Yes, one-time singer and venerable train wreck Britney Spears turned herself in and was booked Monday for her two driving-related misdemeanor charges.

"At around 9:25 this evening, Ms. Spears turned herself in to the Van Nuys Jail for booking," said LAPD officer Mike Lopez. "This was by court order, which is common for a misdemeanor charge."

A smiling Spears, wearing a short black dress, a black jacket and carrying a white purse, was accompanied by her good friend Sam Lufti and her lawyer J. Michael Flanagan when she surrendered at the jail.

Above: the Britney Spears mug shot. Just kidding! The LAPD says its policy is to not release the Britney Spears booking photo. But it should leak soon, not to worry.

On October 9, the "star" and "singer" was ordered by L.A. Court Commissioner Rebecca Omens to be booked. She will be arraigned for misdemeanor charges - hit-and-run causing property damage and driving without a valid license.

Spears, who is due back in court October 25, faces up to a year in jail if convicted, but Flanagan previously told People, "We're working toward a resolution of the case, but we don't have a firm deal yet." Bribes go a long way.

The charges stem from a fender bender in a San Fernando Valley parking lot on August 6. Britney Spears made a wide right turn into a parking space, scraped another car's bumper and then left without leaving a note.

On the fourth episode of this young season of The Bachelor, nine very nice women were remaining: Jenni, Bettina, DeAnna, Jade, Stephy, McCarten, Kristy, Sheena and Hillary. But only six would make it through this emotional evening with a chance to capture the heart of Brad Womack. Who would it be?

The final nine were split up into three dates with The Bachelor. Six would go on a group date with the hot one. Two would head out with sexy Brad Womack (on the aptly titled 2-on-1 date) but only one would come home from it alive.

And one woman would get a very magical one-on-one date with Brad.

Jenni received the first note on this night's episode The Bachelor, letting her know that she would be spending 1-on-1 time with Brad Womack. OMG!

He arrived in a helicopter, picking her up right at the house. This is a stud that knows how to make an entrance, that much is for damn sure.

The two flew to a rooftop and shared a romantic dinner - and a good deal of kisses. Like Andy Baldwin and Tessa Horst a season ago, a genuine connection between the two was palpable. And she got a rose to show for it.

What happened next? How did Brad Womack arrive at his decision? Follow the link and find out in this comprehensive episode guide to The Bachelor...

In a rare moment of humility at the BET Hip-Hop Awards on Sunday night, rapper Kanye West won - and said he was undeserving of - an award.

After winning the Video of the Year award for "Stronger," West took the stage and poked fun the many honors he was passed over for - and was not happy about - at the recent MTV Video Music Awards (also the site of the infamous Kid Rock / Tommy Lee fight and the Britney Spears embarrassment).

"Every time I'm nominated for something I fix my scarf, but then I don't be comin' up," the somewhat egomaniacal fiance of Alexis Phifer cracked.

He then became uncharacteristically humble and said that he thought UGK and Outkast deserved the award instead, for "International Players Anthem."

"I've been waiting for the opportunity to win an award I shouldn't win," Kanye West said, calling the groups to come take the statue from him.

After UGK and Big Boi of Outkast took the stage, they thanked the 30-year-old rapper but then gave the award back to Kanye West, saying that he deserved it. Yes, it was a gigantic love-fest at the Hip Hop Awards!

West, Common and T.I. each won two trophies. T.I. was not on hand to receive his awards or perform because he was arrested over the weekend for planning to pick up some machine guns and silencers his bodyguard had ordered. Standard.

The fourth week of Dancing with the Stars was perfect. Or at least one couple on the show was.

Cheetah Girl Sabrina Bryan and pro partner Mark Ballas earned the first 30 out of 30 from the judges for an impressive paso doble.

Bruno said she had power, attack, and stealth, referring to the singer as a little lynx on the prowl. Carrie Ann said she can tell that Bryan really wants this, adding that their performance was perfection. Len said his expectations are very high for Sabrina; he's always looking for things wrong with her performance, but tonight he didn't find any.

The other top performance of the night belonged for Cameron Mathison. The All My Children star danced to the Superman theme music, big "C" embossed on his attire and everything.

Although she is no longer be blogging about The Bachelor, The Sports Gal - a.k.a. the wife of ESPN's Bill Simmons (The Sports Guy) - still occasionally drops some knowledge on the masses regarding pop cultural topics of the day.

In the crosshairs this week: Grey's Anatomy, which she says might drop clear out of her must-TiVo list any day now. Here's what the hilarious Sports Gal says...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I used to look forward to Thursday nights; now I look forward to Friday Night Lights, Gossip Girl, Tell Me You Love Me and Californication.

Grey's Anatomy jumped the shark when T.R. Knight's dork character cheated on his overweight wife with blonde, beautiful, leggy Izzie - a relationship about as realistic as Spencer Pratt from The Hills getting a job.

I'm also a tad fed up with the whole McDreamy / McSteamy thing. The usage of "Mc" for cute guys has been carried way too far. I read something this week that Seth Green was going to be on a future episode as a "sick guy" and the writer referred to him as "McSicky."

McSicky? Come on. Let's stop before we have a McFatty and a McHairlip.

The big problem is that the show became too successful and we know too much about the cast now. I used to think McDreamy was hot until I found out he just had twins and his previous marriage was to a woman twice his age.

TMI! Can I just see Patrick Dempsey pictures with his shirt off please?

I used to really like McSteamy, too, until I kept seeing him in Us Weekly with Dylan McKay's dead wife (Rebecca Gayheart) - they creep me out, though not as much as Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott.

Also, the Isaiah Washington saga overshadowed last season when Katherine Heigl (who plays Izzie) defended T.R., who seemed so wounded by everything (I felt so bad for him). Now, we're supposed to be watching T.R. and Izzy have an affair?

I know it's acting, but come on! Every time they have "sexual tension," I'm watching them and thinking about what a good friend Katherine Heigl was and how I wish I had my own dorky gay friend that I could defend against mean jerks like Isaiah Washington. Now I'm just McBored.
