• "Yesterday, Rosie [O'Donnell]'s chief writer, Janette Barber, was allegedly escorted from the building after she was caught drawing moustaches on photographs of [Elisabeth] Hasselbeck that hang in the "View" studios."

• Jessica Simpson totally 'freaks out' Leonardo DiCaprio by stalking him at Hotel Du Cap on Saturday night.

• Meanwhile, in other celebrity stakeout news, "Mrs. Kevin Federline is said to have followed Reese Witherspoon's estranged husband to the men's room. Her worried bodyguards are said to have later 'busted in the door and found Britney and Ryan groping and kissing.'"

• NFL is sick and tired of having its players portrayed as a bunch of thugs. After all, it's not as though they're just running around running dogfighting rings, shooting people or punching women in the face. Oh, wait.

Mike Sitrick – the crisis caretaker most recently in the news as Seventeen editor Atoosa Rubenstein's PR pick – lasted only a few hours as Ryan Phillippe's divorcing spinmeister. It all started when Baker Winokur & Ryder, which reps both Ryan and Reese Witherspoon, decided to bring on Sitrick to avoid any conflict of interest for the splitting twosome.

Quickly after his hire, Sitrick put in a call to Bauer's In Touch, offering it an exclusive from Ryan's side. So like any publicist, Sitrick cherry picked some quotes out of the air and said they were from Ryan's mouth; In Touch ran with it as an exclusive. Only problem, as Page Six reports, was that BWR was already talking to People about giving the Time Inc. tabloid Ryan's exclusive. Pissing match ensues, and Sitrick is let go. But always the kings of spin, both BWR and Sitrick are claiming his wax wasn't not due to making up quotes, but that they realized "smaller is better" when it comes to handling PR nightmares.

Just ask Britney Spears — see how well things are going for her without any publicist at all?

It's Ryan Phillppe's fault — at least according to the National Enquirer, which claims the soon-to-be ex-husband of $29-million-per-picture Reese Witherspoon was caught carrying on an affair. From romancing his mistress (said to be Stop Loss co-star Abbie Cornish) at dinner to emailing her on his BlackBerry, Ryan's antics caught up with him at the Flags of Our Fathers premiere, when Reese discovered the BlackBerry emails. How else to explain their barely-there smiles from the red carpet coverage (seen here)?

Next week, look for a copy of fellow American Media Inc. tabloid Star — where they're certain to continue their corporate cousin confusion and blame Reese for the split.

Drew & Fabrizio

Fabrizio Moretti can't catch a break. Alls he was doin' was trying to hook it up with Drew Barrymore in that bathroom at the opera. That damn little old lady with bladder conditions just had to come in and ruin the mood. [Page Six]

• Who needs Nick Lachey (or talent, for that matter) when you've got the best friends a girl could have: perfect ta-tas. [The Sun]

Ryan Phillipe is not about to let Fabrizio Moretti upstage him on the crazy sex stories. We just can't decide what's hotter: Peeing old ladies, or ripping off that non-vintage dress? [The Sun]

• Even though her ex-husband is having a baby, Jennifer Aniston is still going out in public. Amazing. [Extra]
