Animated Picture Book: In honor of Horton Hears A Who! (which the FBLA Toddler highly recommends), LAT puts together a picture book of famous people giving voice to famous animated characters. One complaint: This should include audio clips.

First Celeb Testimony in Pellicano Case: Gary Shandling took the stand yesterday. We still don’t understand why Brad Grey isn’t wearing an orange jumpsuit.

Pussy Pundit: Sex scandal in the news? Call Heidi Fleiss. We live in a weird, weird world.

Drew Barrymore To Direct: Juno beauty Ellen Page is set to star in Whip It, which means her big Hollywood projects to date have been written by a stripper and a roller derby queen. We can’t wait to see what Heidi Fleiss is cooking up for her.

Mum’s The Word: Reporter John Horn explores the eerie silence surrounding J.J. Abrams’ (probable) smash-hit Cloverfield.

Patt’s Just Wondering: In a column about the late Johnny Grant, columnist Patt Morrison says “It falls to me to broach the suggestion that Johnny’s passing is an opening to even more openness. Should the city have more say-so over the sign and the walk? Can more royalty money be made? And should it be shared with the rest of Hollywood?” Well, Patt, should it? She never says.

Since the LA Times doesn’t have a gossip page, we have to make do with Page Six of the NY Post. Now, the webversion, PageSix.com, launches with a new design (making it look like Dlisted), there’s even more news you can’t really use, exactly.

Noelle Hancock was Us Weekly’s online editor and had been at the NY Observer. Upward and onward in journalism.

Jan Heger, the daughter of Paris Hilton DUI lawyer Richard Hutton, used to be a researcher at TMZ.

Jana Winter and Elizabeth Wolff have both been kicking around the Post.

Sean Borg–a semi-celebrity refugee from TMZ.

Jackie Gallo and Jarett Wieselman were at InTouch. Maybe they still are.

Libby Keatinge is the author of Beverly Hills Tutor and co-authored The Player’s Handbook with Heidi Fleiss.

And there’s a spot open.

VH1executives must be a cyncial lot, as they’re offering a new reality series in January, Shooting Sizemore, (wasn’t this Super Sizemore–or is that the fake penis’ show?). The fun starts the moment Tom Sizemore steps out of rehab, as he works toward rebuilding his life and his career. Ha! FBLA wouldn’t be surprised if the budget had line items for drugs, booze and hookers. What’s the fun in watching anyone, much less a violence-prone actor, sip tea and recite affirmations? VH1 is counting on stumbles, or else why did they bother?

Heidi Fleiss, one-time paramour, (seen here in happier, if not higher, times) will meet Sizemore in court, during the series.
