So-called 'magician and endurance artist' David Blaine is up to his antics again!

He's going to try to break the world record for 'holding one's breath under water' LIVE on the Oprah Winfrey show next Wednesday, April 30th.

We'd bet money he's gonna fail!

This is just a nice, big ratings stunt.

The current world record for holding your breath under water is 16 minutes and 14 seconds.

That's a hell of a long time!

Good luck, David Blaine!

We had the pleasure of seeing Billy Elliot the musical in the West End when we were in London in February and it was absolutely amazing.

The show opens on Broadway this October, and we can't wait to see it again!

And, in a wonderful and surprising casting choice, a Latino has been cast as the young boy from northern England.

Yes, he will have a British accent, but we love that the producers were able to think outside the box!

David Alvarez (center) will play the title role alongside two other rotating Billies, Kiril Kulish (left) and Trent Kowalik (right).

We actually saw Trent as Billy in London and he was fab!

It's kinda insane, all the young actors playing the title role are typically between the ages of 11 and 14 and they've pretty much all been dancing since the age of THREE! And they sing too!

We love it!

Perez is such a musical theater queen!!!!

New reports have surfaced indication Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Heather Mills, used to be a prostitute. (Why am I not surprised?)

According to the report:

Former prostitute Denise Hewitt has claimed that Heather Mills was paid £10,000 a night to work as a high-class escort.

Hewitt revealed on the Channel 4 documentary Heather Mills: What Really Happened that the animal rights activist performed lesbian sex for cash during the ’80s…

Mills repeatedly denied rumours that she worked as a prostitute and claimed the reports were part of an ongoing smear campaign by the media.

Hewitt also claims that Mills told Paul McCartney she would leave him if he didn’t marry her. The road not taken, eh, Paul? And when his back was turned:

[Hewitt] said Heather had made disparaging remarks about her future husband’s age, saying: “Well look at me, I’m marrying an old man with bigger tits than me.”

We already know she sometimes doesn't like to shave her armpits.

Now, it's just been reported that Ms. Julia Roberts has a little secret….

She never wears deodorant!!!

Roberts says, "I don't like to share that with a large number of people, but it's just never been my thing."

She's not a fan of deodorant, sprays, or roll-ons it seems. Instead, she opts to use just soap and water to stay fresh.

She adds, "Sometimes, midday at work, I freshen up."

At least she stays clean, though we wouldn't want to get stuck in an elevator next to her!

We bet Heather Mills is gonna be running that big fat mouth of her's again soon cause the shiz is going to hit the fan in the U.K. on Tuesday night (this evening)!

You lucky Brits have the chance to tune in to Channel 4 to see the new Mucca 'tell all' documentary!

We're sooo jealous! We wish we could see it!

The doc reportedly confirms the rumor that Mucca was a money grubbing, 'high class' hooker.

Muccity Muck's former friend, Denise Hewitt, reveals that Mills counted Australian tycoon Kerry Packer and a royal prince of Saudi as loyal 'customers'.

Hewitt said that she and Mucca used to get lots of jewelry from their johns and would do naughty stuff like 'full sex and girly-girly scenes' to return 'favors'.

Heather refused to return calls for comment.

Snoop Dogg is set to make an appearance on ABC daytime soaper One Life To Live.

Why????????

The two episodes featuring Snoop are scheduled to air next month.

One Life worked Snoop into a bachelorette party storyline. He'll perform the tracks Sensual Seduction and Life Of Da Party in the show.

According to the report, Snoop also reworked the theme tune to the soap, which will replace the original theme on the two episodes in which he features.

Snoop also revealed he’s been a fan of the show for his entire life saying:

"I've been a fan of One Life To Live since I was a baby. My momma always had it on the tube in the crib growing up. The opportunity to change up the theme song and give it some of my flavor will make the show the life of the party."

We would've never pegged Snoop as a soap lover!

This is messy!!!

Sources very close to the recent Nina Garcia fiasco confirm exclusively to PerezHilton.com that she was indeed fired from her role as Fashion Director at Elle magazine.

Why???

She simply stopped working!

"She became too busy with Project Runway the last year to two," a mag insider tells us. "Nina had been spending about 8 hours a week on average actually in the office and working, and had her 2 assistants doing all of her work for her."

How Devil Wears Prada of her!

HOWEVER, we're also hearing that Nina may be coming back to Elle!

What, say you? How so????

"The mag - and Project Runway - is looking into the possibility of giving her the silly and totally inconsequential title of 'editor at large" so she can still work on TV," a source tells us. "But the Runway people have been shopping around for a replacement for her for months because they have been anticipating her getting fired."

What is gonna happen????

Stay tuned!!!

We live for this shiz!!!!!

Christian Siriano thinks The Hills girls have nothing on him! Them chickens is ash and he's lotion!

The Project Runway winner told Life & Style in Vegas this past weekend that despite the money the rich Hills girls threw at their fashion lines the results weren't "that great."

We tend to agree with Christian on this one!

And so do you, Perezcious readers!

The Project Runway winner went on to say, "I mean, it's fun and flirty and young, but they're not innovators. None of them will ever be an innovative designer. Buyers and editors are looking for longevity, and hopefully they will see that in me."

There's absolutely NO WAY Heidi or Lauren would have survived Project Runway.

Can't pay anyone to do things for you!

You do all the shit yourself on that show. For real. Like in real reality!

Tom Cruise is concerned that Victoria Beckham may have too much influence on his wife, Katie Holmes.

According to a source:

“Katie sees Victoria as a role model.”

“She copies Victoria’s look and even cut her hair the same way. She is very thin largely because she is following Victoria’s strict 900-calories-a-day eating plan. She is copying Victoria’s fad of eating seaweed shakes, frozen grapes and edamame beans. She is tiny.”

At a recent lunch at L.A.’s Osteria Mozza, Holmes ate “only steamed asparagus as an appetizer, then a tiny plate of chilled beets for her entrĂ©e,” a diner told Life and Style magazine.

During another encounter, Katie and Posh shared a green salad without dressing, one piece of fish and one side of steamed spinach.  They also ordered one regular Coke and two glasses of ice.

Marilyn Monroe may have died decades ago, but it has just been revealed that she appeared in a sex tape in the 1950’s.

The silent black-and-white 15 minute flick shows Monroe performing oral sex on a man whose face is just out of the shot. The guy never moves into the shot, indicating that he knew the camera was there, but Monroe never looks at the lens.

According to the NY Post:

An illicit copy of the steamy, still-FBI-classified reel - 15 minutes of 16mm film footage in which the original blond bombshell performs oral sex on an unidentified man - was just sold to a New York businessman for $1.5 million, said Keya Morgan, the well-known memorabilia collector who discovered the film and brokered its purchase.

The footage appears to have been shot in the 1950s. When it came to light in the mid-’60s, then-FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had his agents spend two weeks futilely trying to prove that Monroe’s sex partner was either John F. Kennedy or Robert F. Kennedy, according to declassified agency documents and interviews, Morgan said.

Even from the grave, Marilyn Monroe is an attention whore.

The Lohans are fighting again, and we love it! Unfortunately, this shiz is probably too real to end up on Orange Oprah's "reality" show, whoring out little sister Aliana.

We reported a few weeks ago that Lindsay headed home (to Long Island, NY) for Easter to spend time with her ailing grandfather.

Well, according to Linds' pop Michael Lohan, she never even made it to her gramps' hospital bedside — then or anytime since!

Ouch!

In addition to dissing her gramps, La Lohan snubbed her grandmother as well, who was involved in a pretty major car crash on Easter Sunday! Granny Lohan had to be medevacked by helicopter to a hospital after hitting a telephone poll and tree.

No Linds visit for the old gal either!

Michael Lohan says that he's re-opening his divorce case in hopes that Dina Lohan will take a more active role in getting their kids to pay respects to his parents. "[Dina] told me, 'It's up to the kids if they want to see their grandparents.' But she's made no effort to put them in touch or make this happen. That is the bottom line."

Ha! Like opening up that old legal wound will help anything.

We think Orange Oprah lost all control of Linsday at age 10!

So Linds, time for clubbing but no time for family, eh?! We know she can't use the work excuse!

Lohan's spokeswhore was unavailable for comment.

On a side note, Poppa Lohan is also suing his ex over her upcoming reality show, Living Lohan, slotted to air this summer on the E!. "It's the exact same show I pitched. She even used my title."

The gloves are off. Let the punching begin!

This is how we love the Lohans, trashy and fighting it out in public.

The former Spice Girl's dVb denim line has been dropped by severeal top boutiques in America.

Why???

The pricey jeans haven't been selling!

Plus, Victoria has failed to actively promote her line, which would help sales.

Explaining his decision to dump Victoria's denim line, Kitson owner Fraser Ross says, "We asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn't. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell."

And Posh wasn't selling.

Bad news for NBC. Very bad!

As Conan O'Brien is set to replace Jay Leno on the Tonight Show next year……

Craig Ferguson, whose Late Late Show began in January 2005, finally managed to beat his competition for the first time in over three years.

This marks the first time Ferguson's show has gotten higher ratings than Conan's Late Night.

Ferguson's executive producer, Peter Lassally, stated that Ferguson's "getting looser and looser all the time and for the last few months it's clear that he's having such a good time that you can't resist it as a viewer."

That's great news for Ferguson, who's probably been having a great start of the year. Just two months ago, the Scottish Ferguson was officially sworn in as a US Citizen after passing his American citizenship test.

And now, later this month he will be hosting the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington, D.C., which as you know, Perezzers will also be attending!

In response to Ferguson's ratings spike, NBC noted that O'Brien was still ahead with viewers aged 18-49, to which the network bases its advertising sales on. And with the younger half of the demographic, O'Brien gets more viewers than David Letterman.

We wouldn't know who's better to watch. We're usually passed out by the time both shows air!

We usually HATE it when actors try to be musicians. They're rarely able to do it well.

Thankfully, Taryn Manning is an exception!

We've always had a soft spot for her band, Boomkat, and now they're finally back with NEW material.

Runaway is their first single and it's a bit creepy watching the video because Taryn looks so much like Lindsay Lohan in it, but the song actually would be perfect for L.L.'s upcoming album.

It's smart, sophisticated pop with a bit of a "chill-out" vibe. And, it sounds a bit autobiographical too.

Cameron Diaz is one of those hippie chicks that takes yoga and shoves coffee colonics up her butt.

The sometimes acne-ridden actress gets all zen and opens up to the new issue of W magazine about discovering herself and shit.

*On whether she dreamed of being an actress when she was a kid:
“Oh, no. I wanted to be a zoologist, to study the sociology of animals,” she says. “But that’s pretty much what I do now anyway. I thought I’d be on the plains of Africa watching lions, but instead I’m in Hollywood watching train wrecks.” And then she busts out laughing and adds hastily, “I’m just kidding.”

*On her goals:
“Just kind of taking more time getting to know myself. It sounds so corny that I can’t believe I even just said that, but, you know, there comes a time when you really have to get to know who you are…I’ve just been figuring out what interests me and spending time with people who are important to me and being present in my own life.”

*On Vegas:
“I looooove Vegas. It’s such an easy trip from L.A., and there’s always a hotel room because there’s about a billion of them,” she says, before adding with a laugh, “but honestly, you don’t even really need one if you’re just going for the weekend!”

The record is called Chinese Democracy but there's no word yet as to when it's going to be released. Axel Rose and Geffen are supposedly haggling over money and rights issues.

A G&R reality show is also rumored to premiere alongside the record release.

Just what TV needs! Another show featuring old rockers and skanky groupies.

So we should look out for it on VH1?

Mr. Janet Sells Out Big Time
The music industry must be getting really desperate for cash money!

The music industry must be getting really desperate for cash money!

Universal just announced that its Island Def Jam branch is teaming up with Procter & Gamble, the big consumer goods giants (P&G makes everything from Charmin toilet paper to Maybelline makeup), on a hip hop label to be named TAG Records. P&G's TAG body spray for men is the inspiration for this label!

A body spray!!!!!

According to the announcement, Jermain Dupri will act as president of TAG Records.

This type of corporate 'sponsorship' of a record label is a first!

We're used to seeing TV content and to some extent movies bastardized by advertisers. But, now music?!

In case you didn't know, the P&G folks are in part responsible for soap operas. Back in the day they wanted a way to push their soap products so they got together with media heads and created programming to put around their commercials.

Anyway, this new venture is a 'win-win' for Universal/Island Def Jam and P&G.

The record company's label artists will get shit loads of support from the marketing gurus at P&G. You need marketing to $ell records!!

P&G will have a direct way to convince young, urban-music-lovin' guys that they need to buy TAG body spray is just for them!

We're not hatin'. We heart capitalism!

The King Is Alive!
Looking out-of-it, singer Ryan Cabrera was seen leaving Prince's secret concert at the Green Door in L.A. on Wednesday night with his worse for wear girlfriend, model and Lisa Marie Presley's daughter Riley Keough. We hope these two kids aren't getting into any "trouble" they shouldn't be, if you know what we mean, Lindsay Lohan! At least [...]

Looking out-of-it, singer Ryan Cabrera was seen leaving Prince's secret concert at the Green Door in L.A. on Wednesday night with his worse for wear girlfriend, model and Lisa Marie Presley's daughter Riley Keough.

We hope these two kids aren't getting into any "trouble" they shouldn't be, if you know what we mean, Lindsay Lohan!

At least we now understand Riley's attraction to Ryan.

He totally reminds her of her gradfather (circa '70s, pill-popping, about-to-die, fat Elvis era)!
