Bear in mind, the Girls Gone Wild creator is still in prison. But maybe Paris Hilton can relax; it doesn't have to be so bad.

TMZ has learned that Joe Francis was moved last night from his cell in Bay County Jail - which was making him cry "every day," sources said - to a facility in nearby Jackson County, all under the watchful eye of US Marshals.

The federal government, according to sources, is planning to take Francis to Nevada in the next day or so to face tax evasion charges there. So at least Antonella Barba will know where to send that audition tape.

Francis was a no-show in Judge Dee Dee Costello's courtroom this morning, even though he was scheduled to face criminal charges today - of using minors in a sexual performance. An official in the Florida State's Attorney's office tells TMZ that his office has filed a motion with federal judge Richard Smoak to prevent Francis from leaving the state.

So Joe may wish to wipe that smile off this face. His future looks bleaker than that of Kate Bosworth and James Rosseau.

Typically, this would involve candle wax, handcuffs and the closest male with a British accent - but the former American Idol champion isn't comparing herself to Calum Best, don't worry.

Instead, Kelly Clarkson is telling people that her record label, RCA, asked her to cover a song by a certain red-haired, loose actress.

"My label literally sent me a Lindsay Lohan track from her last album and wanted me to record it for my new album," the American Idol winner tells MTV News.

"And while I like Lindsay Lohan, like I'm cool with her and I think she sings the song well ... it's already been on an album. I don't care what pop star it is."

Clarkson says she was offended by the suggestion - and wants people to vote for her as their favorite Idol over Carrie Underwood.

"They were just sending me stuff that was like almost insulting. I'm like, 'You can't even find new songs? You don't want me to write my album but you're sending me hand me downs?' " she tells MTV News. "I ended up writing the entire thing with the people that I write well with."

Sounds like quite the storm brewing. Is this the sort of controversy Blake Lewis, Jordin Sparks or the winner of this year's competition will need to deal with in a few years?

Meanwhile, Kelly's new album was completed in January and My December will hit stores on June 26. Simon Cowell has already bashed it probably.

Britney Spears almost lost her new wig while making her way to her second home, Millenium Dance Studio. But luckily, she quickly grabbed it to made sure the blonde polyester mop didn't fall and expose her bald head.

Which is too bad.

While we're glad Britney Spears is awake enough to feel when her wigs fall off, as it means she's probably not drunk or stoned, we would not have objected to a shot of good ol' Cue Ball.

It was a busy day for Spears, who hit up not only dance class but the recording studio, where she did some "work" with none other than J.R. Rotem.

Britney is reportedly gearing up to play the House of Blues in Orlando, Fla., after a string of short, mediocre gigs in Southern California and Las Vegas.

Tickets went on sale this morning for the May 19th show, which will cost "only" $35, compared to triple-digit sums some idiots (talking to you, Lindsay Lohan) plunked down to see the gyrating wigger in California.

Still, that's $35 that's better spent on a pack of smokes, a case of beer, and a bucket of fried chicken. If you ask Kevin Federline, at least.

Sorry, Asia Nitollano.

As you suffer on the sidelines, another hottie may have taken your place as a member of The Pussycat Dolls.

At least occasionally.

Yes, that's Carmen Electra posing in front of a sexy, cat-like stage. She may not really be a singer, but, well are any of the Dolls?

After all, Nicole Scherzinger is almost better known for who she's dating these days than what she's singing. Which is understandable when the guy loosening up her buttons is none other than Laguna Beach star Talan Torriero.

But we love The Pussycat Dolls despite their lack of actual talent. It's not like that's stopped us from following the life of Kim Kardashian.

Or Britney Spears. 

Some celebrity gossip you just never see coming.

Like Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock calling it quits.

Or Spencer Pratt coming up with some new PR scheme.

Similarly, Denise Richards and Richie Sambora have broken up, her rep says, and unlike in the case of her pal Pamela, it didn't take an appearance by Borat to kill the relationship.

Although they were no longer a couple at the time, last month they attended the funeral for Richie Sambora's father, who died of lung cancer on April 21 in his native New Jersey.

"Denise ended things but wanted to be there for him as a friend," a source close to Richards tells People.

A Sambora source calls the split "amicable."

"They did break up about a month prior to Richie's dad's death," says the source. "She came to the funeral to support him. He needs to focus on his daughter, Ava, and wishes Denise and her kids all the best."

Richards' mother has kidney cancer, and she told People in February she and the Bon Jovi guitarist were important in helping each other cope with their parents' illnesses.

Richards, 36, and Sambora, 47, began dating in April 2006 after splitting from their respective spouses.

Richards' four-year marriage to Charlie Sheen officially ended in November when she got pissed about his addictions to drugs and prostitutes.

Sambora and Heather Locklear finalized their own divorce in April. Since then, the former Melrose Place star has been linked to David Spade and Johnathan Schaech, whoever that is.

The drama on the 10th season of The Bachelor is peaking as Andy Baldwin cut the field down yet again, and it's time for The Hollywood Gossip's weekly recap of the always-enthralling Monday ride.

As usual, ESPN's Sports Gal will do the honors.

The wife of ESPN's beloved sports scribe, a.k.a. Bill Simmons, offers her thoughts below on last night's events and the three remaining would-be Mrs. Baldwins, and how his choice for the final twosome came as a shock. Not!

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

I really enjoyed the "The Bachelor: Hawaii."

The show started with Andy Baldwin wearing his white Navy uniform, walking around Pearl Harbor and telling us, passionately but seriously, "It's not about yachts, it's not about sports cars, it's about being a U.S. Naval officer."

The camera showed him from various angles as Baldwin looked very serious and pretended the cameras weren't there. It looked like he was filming a photo shoot for a new Andy Baldwin cologne line called "Pearl Harbor."

The girls arrived one at a time (first Bevin Powers, then Danielle Imwalle, then Tessa Horst) and Andy didn't greet them with his usual dorky energy because he was busy feeling serious.

Yes, we realize the title of this post is oxymoronic, as nothing at all about Nicole Richie could possibly be considered classic. That word implies something once had redeeming qualities or some semblance of worth, and while Richie may not be as detestable as Spencer Pratt (who is, really), she's hardly vintage.

Just the same, the photos below are a heck of a lot more pleasing than the sickly, ghostly, flat-out wrong Nicole Richie pictures presented to us these days.

Yes, long before Nicole was known for blowing chunks and Joel Madden, she was just Paris Hilton's slightly chunky, fun-loving pal on the reality TV hit, The Simple Life.

Check out this old Maxim/Stuff spread. While they may be the most airbrushed photos of all time, we definitely prefer the old Nicole. Much like we dig the old Kate Bosworth. 

Kate Bosworth is possibly anorexic.

That's up in the air. She's definitely impatient and bitchy, though!

The moody, skinny Blue Crush star made it decided to make it a girl's night out after getting in a tiff with her boyfriend, James Rousseau.

According to the New York Post, Bosworth and Rousseau were spotted bickering at Seventh Avenue and 10th Street at about 7 p.m. Thursday. A spy's take:

"He was trying to hail a cab, but he couldn't get one fast enough for Kate. She then started walking away to hail a cab herself. She was p!$$ed!"

After that, she disappeared faster than the subject of a Criss Angel illusion. Just call her f*%k-'em-and chuck-'em Bosworth.

Later, Bosworth, who has been looking kind of healthy in recent bikini photos, was seen bar-hopping in the East Village with a gal pal.

That pal was Helena Christensen - who evidently had a limo, which picked them up from East 11th Street bar Angels & Kings at 11:30.

Too bad for you, James Rousseau. Looks like the only doggy style action you'll be getting for awhile is taking the pooch for a walk.

What sort of trickery does it take to date a gorgeous actress? Ask Criss Angel.

The magician might tell you that spelling your first name in a stupid fashion is the illusion you need to make someone like Cameron Diaz think you're mysterious enough to go out with. After all, the pair hit the town in Las Vegas last night.

The Shrek princess and the weird magician - who stars in the reality TV show, Mindfreak - began their evening with dinner at the Bellagio's Prime steakhouse, then rode to the Mirage in Angel's Rolls Royce for the 10:30 p.m. performance of Cirque du Soleil's Beatles tribute LOVE.

Walking arm-in-arm into the theater Diaz and Angel looked like an actual couple. A witness said Justin Timberlake might have reason to be jealous because "they were snuggling with each other and he was making her laugh. They seemed really happy."

Cameron and Criss, who has been linked to Minnie Driver, previously met up on Saturday night at the VH1 Rock Honors and later partied at the Jet Nightclub with Diaz's BFF Drew Barrymore.

Meanwhile, the actress talked about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Timberlake on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show airing Tuesday.

"I love how people just expect when people break up to hate each other," she said, "but you know ... we're still in each other's lives. When you care about somebody, you just want them to be happy and that's what we both are now."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves, Cam. But you may wanna close your eyes to avoind seeing just how happy Scarlet Johansson and Jessica Biel have made Timberlake recently.

He may have made a bad decision with his recent DUI, but at least Ty Pennington isn't a washed-up, middle-aged, steroid-using fiend.

Sylvester Stallone pleaded guilty this morning in a Sydney court to bringing banned muscle-building hormones into Australia.

Richard Gere's nemesis will be sentenced next week.

The Rocky Balboa star didn't appear in court, but said in an apologetic letter to Sydney's Downing Center Local Court that he had "made a terrible mistake" because he was "ignorant" about local laws, according to the AP.

Right, because steroids are all good in the U.S. of A. Surprisingly, Jason Wahler hasn't been arrested for using any. Give it time.

Stallone was accused of bringing the restricted growth hormones into the country when a customs search in February turned up 48 vials of Jintropin, a human growth hormone.

Then, said a prosecutor yesterday, the Brandon Davis look-alike threw four vials of the male hormone testosterone out of his hotel room when customs officials searched it.

The maximum penalty for Sylvester Stallone's offense could be 5 years in prison and $91,500 in fines, but he will face up to $18,500 for each charge because his case is being heard in local (not federal) court.
