Vivica Fox's Wig Flew Off

This is so funny. Look what I read on Page Six today:

The actress arrived at the Raleigh Hotel at 2:30 a.m. As she was getting out of her car, a witness saw a "fuzzy thing" fall to the ground. He then caught sight of Fox, who "looked strange - she had really, really short, weird hair." Fox cried out to a friend for help. She snatched up the fuzzy thing that turned out to be her wig, slapped it back on her head and, holding it in place, marched into the hotel, saying, "I forgot - I took my pins out already!"

Lil Kim Branded a Lousy Tipper

Hey Lil Kim When you dine out, it's customary to tip your waiter 15%. So that last time, when you and your two friends had dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House and the bill came to $150 and you only left $10.00, instead of $22.50, the trifling waitstaff sold you out to Page Six, making it look like you're low on cash, when really, I think you just didn't know any better.
BTW you looked fabulous at the Baby Phat after party.

Smooches.
