Snoop, Vanessa Williams and Sherri Shepherd in Millionaire Hot Seat

Snoop Dogg, Vanessa Williams and Sherri Shepherd are among the stars booked for next month's 10th anniversary celebration of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" when host Regis Philbin returns to ABC for a two-week primetime event.

Additional guest stars include Lauren Conrad, Patricia Heaton, Shawn Johnson, Steve Nash, Katy Perry, Rachael Ray, Wynonna and a "surprise guest."

The "Millionaire" event premieres Sunday (Aug. 9) from 8-9 p.m. and will air for 11 nights, Sunday-Thursday at 8 p.m., with the finale on Sunday, Aug. 23 from 8-9 p.m., ET

The Outlaw Lil' Wayne

In a recent interview with Ozone Magazine, Weezy--apparently unaware the tape recorder was still on--started to brag about his tear drop tats. He crowed, “I will murder you, your family your child your son, your newborn”. My nomination of him for Father of the Year has already been signed, sealed, and delivered. Now it's your turn.

Madea to the Rescue...

When Tyler Perry heard about the 65 kids in Philly who were kicked out of the Valley Swim Club pool after paying to use it, TP decided to take matters into his own hands:

"So what I did was on Aug 1st thru 3rd I’m sending these kids to Disney World, and then to a Disney water park. I want them to know that for every act of evil that a few people will throw at you, there are millions more who will do something kind for them. This is all about the kids."

Beyonce in Chicago

Mrs. Jigga makes sure the Chi doesn't run out of Hamburger Helper before her concert on Friday. If you advertise it -don't you have to use it yourself?

Kim K. fires back at you haters

"I'm off to South Africa for Russell Simmons Diamond Empowerment Fund. DEF is a
non-profit organization that aims to empower disadvantaged people in African
nations where diamonds are a natural resource, through education. Some people
online have been judging me for my charity work with the DEF. No charity work
should ever be judged, it's just wrong. We can all do something to help!

I am so excited about the trip! Has anyone ever been?? Or is anyone from
South Africa?"

Um, yeah. Lots of people are from South Africa, but maybe that's not exactly what she meant. I think the charity is interesting. I'll try to dig up more information on it. What exactly are Kim and Reggie going to do over there?

She's so sick and filthy with Benjis

Beyonce continues to feel your pain in this recession. In her interview in the June issue of UK Glamour Beyonce reveals her storage issues:

"Put it this way, I've turned my old apartment into a closet," Bey lamented.
"I probably get about 15 bags sent to me a month. Armani gave me this croc bag, which was huge - I could only imagine how much that thing cost. It would be so expensive that even I wouldn't buy it.”

By the way, the bag in the pic is the $42,000 Louis Vuitton Tribute Bag a.k.a. the Frankenstein. Supposedly there are only 24 in existence. Some feel that is 24 too many.
