Celebrity Deathmatch

The Smoking Gun: Archive

"JANUARY 13--You could excuse David Letterman for questioning CBS's commitment to his late night program. That's because the Tiffany Network actually opted for a prominent photo of Tonight Show host Jay Leno--instead of Dave--in its online promotion of Sunday night's People's Choice Awards. It wasn't until Letterman himself started ragging on CBS during the taping of last night's program that the image of his NBC rival was hastily deleted and replaced by a shot of the Late Show boss. Network brass apparently were so embarrassed by the gaffe that CBS president Leslie Moonves called Letterman during the Monday taping to apologize and say, apparently facetiously, that the employee responsible for posting Leno's photo on cbs.com had been fired. Below you'll find the before and after images from the network's web site, captured by TSG before the Leno art was deleted. While both Letterman and Leno were nominated in the favorite talk show host category, the People's Choice nod went to Oprah Winfrey. (1 page)"

"1/8 UPDATE: Elecia Battle today admitted that her story of lottery woe was fiction and that she was dropping a lawsuit filed against the real Mega Millions winner. Through tears, Battle told reporters, 'I wanted to win so bad for my kids and my family. I apologize.' She added, 'I'm not a bad person, I'm really not.' Lt. Kevin Nieter, a spokesman for the South Euclid Police Department, told TSG that he now expected charges to be filed against Battle for filing a false police report regarding her supposedly lost ticket.

Oops

The Smoking Gun: Archive

"JANUARY 5--After hours of marital bliss, Britney Spears moved today to legally annul her romantic Saturday morning nuptials at Las Vegas's Little White Wedding Chapel. This morning, Spears, 22, filed the below annulment complaint with the Clark County District Court in a bid to wipe away her blessed, though brief, union to Jason Allen Alexander, a childhood pal from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana. In her complaint, Spears notes that her marriage should be dissolved because she 'lacked understanding of her actions to the extent that she was incapable of agreeing to marriage because before entering into the marriage the Plaintiff and Defendant did not know each others likes and dislikes, each others desires to have or not have children, and each others desires as to State of residency.' It's now up to a Nevada judge to sign off on the annulment request so that Spears and Alexander can return to market. (5 pages)"
