• In the blue corner: Fashion photographer David LaChapelle. In the red corner: Jessica and Ashley Simpson. After the Simpson siblings refused to pose for the cover of Rolling Stone, the pic snapper let loose at the beginning of Fashion Week. Not that we needed him to tell us, but apparently the Simpsons girls are "everything wrong with culture, and everything wrong with art, and what we think of as art and musical culture - in one family!"
• John Travolta and fellow Scientologist wifey Kelly Preston descended upon Louisiana, joining a 400-member cast of Church members, to offer "assists" to Hurricane Katrina victims. Or, in layman's terms, they turned the tragedy into a recruiting effort. Unfortunately Tom Cruise was otherwise occupied.
• Ya want Paris Hilton? Well now, you have to bid for her (at least at a Miami Red Cross auction). While Paris Latsis, her supposed fiance, was at an undisclosed location, Paris' MTV VMA date-slash-record producer Scott Storch and nightclub owner Cecil Barker got into a furious bidding war for a date with the dog-downsizing starlet. Barker won out with a $200,000 offer, but Storch probably already had the prize for free.
• MoveOn.org will be moving on without Chris Tucker after the actor's antics at a taping of a PSA for their hurricane housing project proved fruitless. After making the group change the time for his taping, he showed up only to chat his phone in the paid-for limo before heading back to his hotel and attempting to have the driver take him out on the town.
• With hopes of Colin Farrell fame, Entourage's Adrian Grenier bared all for his new film Across The Hall. But it wasn't just for the cameras — he gave the crew some happy shots as well.
• Ready for Diddy in Atlantic City? Well, Sean Combs hopes you are. He's in negotiations with a Jersey group, who's backed Rande Gerber in the past, to open his own hotel there.
