Did Giuseppe Cipriani Flee the Country?
♦ Haven't seen Giuseppe Cipriani around town lately? There may be a reason for that: He's believed to be outside the U.S. since he's on probation and because Andrew Cuomo is investigating how the family managed to keep its liquor license earlier this year. [P6]

Kid Rock has a hit without iTunes
"All Summer Long" is one catchy tune. Built on the groove of the late Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London," spiced up with Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama," the song nonetheless soars on Robert James Ritchie's down-homey delivery of one of the best ballads to hit the airwaves in years. I've heard it on Top 40,…

Amy Winehouse Performs in Russia, Possibly Sober
Rejecting a plan to reinforce his white trash bonafides by marrying a 1974 Pontiac GTO sitting atop cinderblocks on a patchy lawn in an economically depressed suburb of Detroit, Kid Rock instead opted to brawl in the parking lot of an Atlanta-area Waffle House this weekend, an altercation that earned him a…

TMZ TV: Tommy Lee And Kid Rock Go At It
Last night saw the debut of "TMZ" in its televised form, and we're kind of astounded. It's actually really good in a "death of Western culture" kind of way: crass, snappy, humorous, knowing, smirking, and sarcastic. Their turnaround time is impressive, and the little graphical flourishes they toss in make a good case…

'Borat' Now Accused Of Ruining Doomed Celebrity Marriages
The dissolution of Pamela Anderson's marriage to Bob "Kid Rock" Richie after just four months may have been the celebrity break-up that launched a million, "Go get her, Borat!" wisecracks, but the internationally renowned joke recycler may have had more of a direct hand in the snuffing of their white trash love than…
Pamela Anderson's Latest Doomed Marriage Fizzles Before The Five Month Itch
Chickens' rights activist Pamela Anderson announced on her website today, in a brief message amounting to a haiku of shattered love, "Divorce: Yes, it's true. Unfortunately impossible."
