"No sir it wasn't me, sir -- I swear it wasn't"

​"No sir it wasn't me, sir -- I swear it wasn't!"

That's what Jermaine "Huggy" Hopkins, the fat kid in the film Lean on Me, famously told his prickly principal (played by Morgan Freeman) to get out of a jam in the 1989 classic.

The line apparently didn't work as well on the cops, who say Hopkins tried to buy about 200 pounds of weed from an undercover Maricopa County Sheriff's deputy.

Hopkins, who lives in North Carolina, got popped in Avondale on Tuesday when police found 200 pounds of weed -- and $100,000 in cash -- in the vehicle he was driving.

Fight-Night fight! The above logo is for the Celebrity Fight Night Foundation, a ball hosted in the Valley each year. Below is the logo for an upcoming pay-per-event. May the best fight night win the lawsuit!

​

An Arizona non-profit company that hosts a yearly event to benefit Phoenix's Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center is asking a federal judge to stop a pay-per-view boxing event from using its name.

The Celebrity Fight Night Foundation wants a restraining order issued against FilmOn.com before its November 5 broadcast. Also called Celebrity Fight Night, the pay-per-view event features a freaky cast of characters including Nadya "Octomom" Suleman, Amy Fisher, Kato Kaelin and others.

In the complaint, (see below), the foundation alleges that it's been using its name since 1994 for a annual ball that has raised $70 million over the years. The money goes primarily to the Parkinson Center, which is located at Barrow Neurological Institute.

The public is already confused, the foundation says, attaching as an exhibit a recent online article that blurs the two events.

Kiowa Gordon, 21, was NOT arrested on suspicion of DUI on Monday, police say. But Gordon was arrested for two outstanding warrants.

​
Police put out an all-points correction this morning on incorrect news reports that Kiowa Gordon of Twilight series fame was arrested for suspicion of DUI.

He wasn't even driving. But he was busted on Monday -- for an outstanding warrant.

Mesa police, in a news release this morning, blamed Channel 12 News (KPNX-TV) for broadcasting the false information, which they say has "now been picked up across the country."

A Google search shows that many outlets lifted the incorrect news from azcentral.com. That's what they get for poaching. An Arizona Republic article on the Web site about Gordon has for now been replaced by an ellipses.

The real story, though, is at least in the same ballpark.

John Galliano apparently hearts Adolph Hitler.

Unlike Charlie Sheen, fashion designer John Galliano -- the other pseudo-celebrity to apparently go off the deep end this week -- isn't "winning!" He is, however, heading to rehab and -- per-usual when a celebrity needs to kick one habit or another -- he's "rumored" to be rehabing in Arizona.

At the same facility Tiger Woods was "rumored" to have attended when he was treated for his poon addiction in late 2009.

As you may have heard, Galliano was canned by fashion house Christian Dior for making anti-semetic statements (the guy apparently loves Hitler. Jews... not so much) while apparently drunk at a cafe in Paris.

​If you're gay, black, Hispanic, Jewish, Asian, a woman, or you're just able to hear, you may be pissed off at Mel Gibson these days.

And for good reason -- the dude's nuts.

Aside from the public outcry following Gibson's screeching at his now-ex-girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, that "if [she] gets raped by a pack n***ers, it will be [her] own fault," RadarOnline's slow leak of the now-infamous recordings of phone conversation's between Gibson and Grigorieva have landed the Lethal Weapon star in a bit of a PR pickle. (Wonder what Lethal co-star Danny Glover thinks about Mel these days?)

Fortunately for Mel, the Baltimore Sun has a five-point "re-branding" plan for the foul-mouthed star, which includes joining Arizona's Minutemen Civil Defense Corps.

If you're not familiar with Mel's most-recent rants, we've got a small dose for ya after the jump.

​The VH1 reality show Celebrity Rehab has run into a bit of a production snag that has postponed taping of the upcoming season.

While there is certainly no shortage of celebutards fucked up on drugs, there is a shortage of celebs willing to sell their souls to the reality gods and have their recovery from substance abuse used as entertainment.

It's reported today that despite signing  reality stars like Tila Tequilla, and Jason Wahler -- of Laguna Beach and DUI fame -- the show has failed to sign anyone else.

The show's creator and host, Dr. Drew Pinsky, has reportedly been turned down by celebs like Heather Locklear, Charlie Sheen, Brooke Mueller, Jenna Jameson, and was even given the cold shoulder by Lindsay Lohan, who was offered $1 million for her participation.

There is one drug-ravaged celeb who agreed to be on the show, but, unfortunately for Dr. Drew, he's sitting in a Maricopa County Jail and a judge won't let him out to "recover" on national television.

Reality TV star and Playboy playmate Kendra Wilkinson.

​

Move over Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Pam Anderson, and the droves of other celebutards who thought the sex tapes they "privately" made with their one-time significant others would never see the light of day -- there's a new celebrity sex star on the rise and her "co-star" happens to be a local boy.

You may be familiar with Kendra Wilkinson, the one-time "girlfriend" of geriatric Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner.

Wilkinson was made famous for being hot as hell but dumber than a fucking rock her charm and charisma while living with Hef at the Playboy Mansion and starring in E!'s The Girls Next Door with Hef's other two bimbettes who were one-fourth his age.

Hef and his hoochies split a few years ago, and Wilkinson seemed to be settling down with her new husband, NFL nomad Hank Bassett -- with whom she now has a child.

But Kendra's new "mommy dearest" persona is taking a beating these days with news that she and an old flame made a sex tape, now being made public.

Kendra's co-star Justin Frye.

​

Kendra's old beaux and co-star, we learned today, happens to be a cage fighter from Lake Havasu named Justin Frye, and he's the one who sold the tape for 50 percent of slaes and a $100,000 bonus to Vivid Entertainment, the porn company that planning for its release.

Frye is described as "a thrill-seeker who can be seen riding motorcycles, snowboarding, and partying.

We tried to get hold of Frye this afternoon at a gym where we hear he trains but were told he wasn't there.

However, we tracked down a slideshow of Frye's "partying," which you can see after the jump. Be warned, though, Frye and his buddies make the Jersey Shore boys look classy.

It looks like Nik Richie's getting nervous.

​
On the heels of a new lawsuit filed against him, the self-described "reality blogger" took down several blog posts from www.thedirty.com that had targeted a woman who sued him last year for invasion of privacy.

Richie published the posts last week to retaliate against Kristen Creighton of La Porte, Texas, who won a $1.5 million judgment in October against Richie and his company, Dirty World.
