Tom Morello Welcomes Slash, Perry Farrell, Flea at All-Star “Justice Tour” Stop Tom Morello kicked off his seven-city “Justice Tour” last night by calling every able-bodied rock legend in Los Angeles for a surreal night of music and social awareness at the Troubadour. “This is what happens when I go through my Blackberry,” Morello joked to the crowd before Stuart Copeland snuck behind the drums and Perry Farrell grabbed the mike for a thundering version of the Police’s “Message in a Bottle” just twenty minutes into the evening. It was the start of a marathon night that would showcase unforgettable collaborations by rock royalty for more than three and half hours. The concert featured early acoustic performances by Morello, Pete Yorn, Jerry Cantrell and the MC5’s Wayne Kramer. Morello — acting as master of ceremonies and orchestrating the chaos — then brought out what would serve as the nucleus of the evening’s house band: Travis Barker on drums, Flea playing bass and a rotating lineup of Steve Vai, Slash, Dave Navarro and Morello sharing guitar duties. The dream team backed up Cantrell for a version of Thin Lizzy’s “Jailbreak” and rocked out covers such as Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition.” Throughout the evening Morello spoke about the tour’s goal of promoting local social activism and tackling problems endemic to each host city. While the activism is integral to the tour, Morello is quick to point out that the mood is celebratory and he views each night as “a freedom party.” Sen Dog and B-Real of Cypress Hill didn’t need any help celebrating as they arrived onstage (joint in hand) to knock out “Insane in the Brain” and “Rock Superstar.” Morello closed out the show with a poignant rendition of the Woody Guthrie classic “This Land is Your Land” (like he did at SXSW) that had every voice in the packed club singing backup.

Idolator's American Idolatry: Tears, Self-Doubt, And Shaken FaithWhat a doozy of an episode last night, right? It started off with Sundance Head belting out the opening lines of Three Dog Night's "Joy To The World" (talk about Love Boat-worthy entertainment!) and...

America's Next Top Model: The Three Monkeys
Previously - Mad Dog Marvita got sent home, and took my heart with her. Big Whitney's got a big personality. Oh, and her best friend is black. And Dominique...well...Dominique...and then Dominique.
Marvita, did you leave me a blunt and a .40? I hope so. I need something to remember your ass by. This show is empty now. Couldn't you have at least pistol-whipped Big Whitney or Dominique or (most definitely) Fatima before you left?
The girls ride home from judging in the Fab Cab, and people start kissing Mormon Aimee's ass. They're in awe of her skin? I can barely even recognize Aimee. She just kind of blends into the cab's interior.
Lauren is still lacking confidence, and it shows in panel. Claire talks to her husband Matt about their daughter. Her teeth are coming through and she will never forgive her mother for running off to lick Tyra Banks' ass during her formative years. Claire pumps breast milk in her bunk bed every night. It's like something out of a home for unwed mothers in the 50s! She cries while she does it, especially because her milk is starting to dry up. Having to look at Dominique's aged drag face every morning would dry up anyone's breast milk reserve.
More ANTM, after the jump!

‘Page Six’ to Anne Hathaway: You’re a Bad Dog Mom!Photo: WireImageWe're kind of blown away by the way that "Page Six" today implies that Anne Hathaway is a bad pet owner because she hasn't gone back to her ex's apartment to pick up their chocolate lab. She should "step up" and go and get it, the column says, as though the servants at Follieri's apartment that they describe in the same item can't walk it. State GOP brass won't give George Pataki a seat at the Republican National Convention. Ralph Fiennes just bought a place in the meatpacking district, making him just one more overhyped thing down there with an unpronounceable name. If you live in the Alma on West 21st Street, pastry chef Jacques Torres will put a chocolate on your pillow every night. Mary-Kate Olsen made everyone wait for her at this week's premiere of The Wackness. Woody Allen is shooting his untitled "spring project" at Silvercup Studios. Heidi Klum takes three nannies when she goes shopping.Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi have picked a wedding date. We just don't know what that date is. Clear Channel won't let Harry Shearer advertise his new CD, Songs of the Bushmen, on their billboards because it has a mean picture of George Bush on it. Shockingly, Amy Winehouse's apartment is a disgusting mess. The widow of gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson doesn't think his suicide was a courageous act, she thinks it was "the opposite." Oprah Winfrey and Bill Clinton were cold to one another at a party for Nelson Mandela in London, probably because of the primary results. But Naomi Campbell showed up to the event, even though she was axed as a presenter over her whole airport assault problem. A photographer says Marilyn Monroe often didn't wear "pants." That's British for "undies."

Al Pacino And His Interminably Boring Stories [Short Ends]newVideoPlayer("altalk_defamer.flv", 463, 387,"");· Al Pacino made a guest appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman last night to promote his new film, 88 Minutes (aka Nick Of Time 2: Nicked Again!). Let this clip of Al Pacino putting Dave Letterman and the rest of the viewing audience to sleep with his Ted Striker-esque stories be a lesson to all of you up-and-comers in Hollywood; should you ever get called to sit on the chair next to Dave, Jay, Conan, Jimmy or Craig, the most important thing you can do is to PRACTICE YOUR ANECDOTES. And if you get called to do Carson Daly's show? Don't worry, no one is watching. [CBS] · In an unprecedented move in the nearly 100 year history of Hollywood, Marvel and Paramount are banding together to turn the phenomenal trailer for Iron Man into a full-length movie. We can't wait! [The Onion] · The thing about Scientology that creeps us out the most is the fact that even the ones who get away are crazy. [YouTube] · If they cast the Yo Quiero Taco Bell dog in Beverly Hills Ninja instead of Chris Farley, you'd have yourself Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Unholy. [/Film] · Wondering why Short Ends came to you a few hours late tonight? Well, it's because your Uncle Grambo was finishing his taxes. Let this serve as a reminder to all of you West Coasters, there's only three hours left to file your taxes! That is, unless your first name is Wesley and your last name is Snipes. In that case, don't sweat it. [IRS]

The Oscar Glass is Half-Full For Spike Lee [Snubs]Knowing what we know about Spike Lee's constructively critical awards-podium jeremiads, we think the filmmaker doth protest too much this week about his lack of faith in the Academy Awards. Nevertheless, the sadist in us also appreciates his analysis of the vagaries of Oscar justice that we presume will embrace Lee one of these days: Al Pacino over Denzel? When Al doesn't win for Godfather I, Godfather II, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon — they fucked him over at least five times, I know. Then he does Scent of a Woman. Denzel [nominated that year for Malcolm X] already won for Glory: "He's young, he'll be back, he'll be all right. We fucked over Al, we'll give it to him." [Whispering] "Denzel, we'll hook you up, we got you." Training Day! He wins for Training Day. So we don't get it for Malcolm X. It's like the makeup call in basketball. It messes everything up. ...If you don't get it when you should, it messes everything up. The problem is, you don't get it when you need to get it. And when you get the makeup call, then you're fucking somebody else over and it just keeps going on and on and on. Now I love Marty [Scorsese] — does he think Departed was the best film? Hell, no, he knows that, but would he give it back? Hell, no! Of course, there are alternatives to Lee's Makeup Rule: the Crash Rule of Hollywood's Conscience Elite concluding Oscar night with its long-rehearsed, autoerotic grand finale; the Three Six Mafia Rule of being the best alternative in a shitty year... We'd love to hear your own rules below. That said, Lee is a Makeup-Rule candidate all the way, positioning himself for that day 10 years from now when his risky collaboration with Diablo Cody, Mo' Batter Blues, results in his best work since 25th Hour.

Paris Hilton Could Buy a Million More PuppiesParis Hilton has boasted she earns $200 million a year. The hotel heiress claims she rakes in the enormous sum from a variety of business ventures, including her own hotel chain, perfume range and personalized merchandise, and by charging massive fees for personal appearances. She said: "I've made $200 million in the last year, while Jennifer Lopez made $150 million. "I'm developing my own hotels, casinos and clubs and getting into real estate. It's crazy at such a young age. I'm doing so much." Paris' inheritance from her family and the Hilton hotel chain is worth around $50 million, while she earns £8 million a year for her role in TV show 'The Simple Life', in which she stars with friend Nicole Richie. The 26-year-old socialite's perfume and jewellery collection brought in $2 million each last year, while she collected $20 million for personal appearances. Paris can charge $100,000 a time just for showing up at her favorite haunts and is once believed to have been paid over a million to wave to a crowd in Australia for 20 minutes. Her book, 'Confessions of an Heiress', and debut pop album, 'Paris', further boosted her earnings, as did a stuffed version of her pet dog Tinkerbell and advertisements for Dream Catcher hair extensions. She even pockets money from the slogan "That's Hot!" after trademarking her favorite exclamation. Paris also collects an estimated $4 million a year from the infamous sex tape, 'One Night In Paris', she made with ex-lover Rick Salomon. The blond dropped a lawsuit against him in return for half of the profits made from sales. Paris Hilton at a Night By The Ocean - Life Rolls On's 4th Annual black-tie Dinner Gala (07/22/07). Paris Hilton left her Hollywood Hills home en route to her Malibu beach house Friday, stopping on the way to get $40 dollars in gas and an Arizona green tea. When Paris arrived, her blue Bentley convertible was towed to her home. Shortly after, Paris went walking on the beach with her three dogs and headed over to the

Lil Wayne Finds Dog HouseRapper Lil Wayne got low and busted by cops for drugs. Where's your Kool-aid smile now? Law enforcement officials tell us Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Carter Jr., was arrested near Yuma, Arizona last night on three felony counts: possession of dangerous drugs, possession of narcotics and possession of drug paraphernalia. Cops tell TMZ that the Drug Enforcement Agency was involved in the arrest - which means it's a big deal! Wayne is currently in the custody of the Yuma County Sheriff's Department, where he'll be held pending his arraignment at 9:00 AM PT. Wayne was arrested in Idaho last year for felony possession of drugs. He should have dropped the drugs like a hot potato.

![Picture: Progressive New Oscar Rules Prohibit More Than Two Losing Songs Per Movie [Oscar Justice]](http://imagecache03.pixsy.com/06192008/f1/f1ed9af3-619a-4cc4-915e-fad0f227aec0.jpg)
Progressive New Oscar Rules Prohibit More Than Two Losing Songs Per Movie [Oscar Justice]The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences hopes you enjoyed the Enchanted three-fer nominated for last year's Best Song Oscar, because that was the last time a single film will receive more than two song nods in any given season — even if they're virtually guaranteed to lose against upstart Irish indies and/or pimp anthems. A rule change implemented Tuesday night says "there is no limit to the number of songs that may be submitted from a given film," but only two will get the dog-and-pony-show treatment on the Oscar telecast, thus saving the likes Amy Adams the indignity of going "stage commando" during their production numbers. The outcry over Best Foreign-Language Film nominees appears to have subsided for the time being, however, with the honorary 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days Rule apparently ceding more control to the category's Executive Committee: The foreign language film nominations have long been a point of major contention among cineastes, as many of the most lauded titles from the annual film festival circuit are overlooked at Oscar nomination-time in favor of less challenging, more easygoing fare. ... The new rules will allow the 20-member Foreign Language Film Award Executive Committee to determine three of the nine films on the shortlist. The other six titles will be determined by the voting of the "Phase 1 committee," any voting member who views a minimum number of eligible films. The executive committee will make their selections after the Phase 1 committee's voting has been tallied, presumably to avoid leaving out certain titles. Alas, the Academy still has yet to develop a method to account for taste in the vote for the Final Five. Wake us up when Nuri Bilge Ceylan or Apichatpong Weerasethakul win something, will you?
