Did Ashton Kutcher steal the idea for Pop Fiction from Anna Nicole Smith? That's what Smith lawyer/lover Howard K. Stern is alleging, saying that he and Smith pitched a similar idea to E! execs in 2004. According to Stern, Kutcher's show (in which celebs stage fake photo-ops to trick the press) is nearly a carbon copy of Celebrities Strike Back, Stern and Smith's treatment (TMZ has the WGA-registered documents).Stern even says that as recently as two months ago there was talk of Paternity Sweepstakes Winner Larry Birkhead being the subject of the first prank, and then hosting the show. In response, E! issued this statement: "Pop Fiction is a program independently created and developed by Ashton Kutcher's company, Katalyst. Pop Fiction is not based on any idea or concept that may have been pitched to E! by any other party."Kutcher's Pop Fiction debuted on Sunday with (fake) stories about Paris Hilton and her "guru" and Avril Lavigne and her "baby bump." It's a great idea for a show, ...

Think Tom Cruise was the first star to flip out on national TV? Don’t be crazy!1) Tom Cruise loses control.Declaring his love for Katie Holmes, Cruise jumped on Oprah’s couch. He pumped his fists and squatted like a scary version of The Thinker. He made weird faces. In short, he acted nuts. Then he went on Today and loonily challenged Matt Lauer’s knowledge of psychiatric history. Of course, Cruise’s 2005 publicity-grabbing antics didn’t hurt the box office for War of the Worlds (or for Holmes’ Batman Begins), so who’s crazy now?2) Michael Jackson dangles a baby.Jacko had pulled plenty of wacko stunts before, but this one seemed dangerous: holding his son (nicknamed “Blanket”) over the railing of a Berlin hotel balcony in 2002. “I got caught up in the excitement of the moment,” Jackson explained. Perhaps most shockingly, no charges were filed.3) Farrah Fawcett spaces out.The Charlie’s Angels goddess denied allegations that ...
