Earlier this month, SNOOP DOGG'S 18-year-old son CORDE BROADUS posted photos of him smoking pot with his dad out of a two-foot glass bong.  And in case you're wondering, Snoop considers that GOOD parenting.

--He tells the "Hollywood Reporter", quote, "My kids can do whatever the hell they want.  For me to say otherwise would be hypocritical. 

--"A lot of mother[effers] don't have a relationship with their kids, and that's when they get on drugs and have suicidal thoughts and drive drunk.  Me and my son is mellow.  I'm his father, so I wanna show him the proper way because he looks up to me.

--"What better way to get it than from the master?"

(--Obviously, we assume that by "getting on drugs," Snoop is NOT referring to marijuana.  He probably doesn't consider the GIGGLE WEED a real drug.)

Madonna Says We Have a "Black Muslim" In the White House

 --The 17th season of "The Bachelor" will premiere in January.

--Chris got a break on a FAILED DRUG TEST, though.  He tested positive for weed in Virginia earlier this summer . . . but he claims he used in California, where he has medical marijuana clearance.

--The judge decided it was cool either way, because she'd never told him he couldn't smoke.  But she warned him, quote, "You are not an average person who can sit in their living room and do what you want to do.

--"You are not only in the public eye, but you are on probation."  (--Brown was given FIVE YEARS for the assault, so he's got just under two years of probation left to go.)

--Billie Joe stopped their performance in the middle of the song "Basket Case" . . . when he noticed that a monitor in the venue was warning them that they only had one minute remaining.  This set him off on a profanity-filled tirade.

--He yelled, quote, "Give me [an effing] break.  One minute [effing] left. You're gonna give me one [effing] minute?  Look at that [effing] sign right there . . . one minute. 

--"Let me [effing] tell you something . . . I've been around since [effing] 198-[effing]-8.  And you're gonna give me one [effing] minute?  You've gotta be [effing] kidding me!  What the [eff]!  I'm not [effing] JUSTIN BIEBER, you mother[effers] . . .

--"I got one minute, one minute left.  Oh, now I got nothing left.  Let me show you what one [effing] minute [effing] means."  He started smashing his guitar on the ground, and bassist MIKE DIRNT followed suit.

--Then, Billie Joe FLIPPED THE BIRD . . . and shouted, quote, "One minute.  God [effing] love you all.  We'll be back" . . . and stormed off the stage.   

--Initially, there were reports that Billie Joe cooled down backstage and was laughing about the incident . . . so there was talk that he may have purposely gone over the top with it to have a "rock 'n' roll moment," and pick up some publicity.

--But on Sunday, Billie Joe's rep announced that he's, quote, "seeking treatment for substance abuse" . . . and added, quote, "Green Day would like everyone to know that their set was not cut short . . . and to apologize to those they offended.

--"The band regretfully must postpone some of their upcoming promotional appearances."  Of course, the timing isn't good . . . Green Day's new album "Uno!" comes out TOMORROW.

 --There's no word what kind of substance abuse Billie Joe is being treated for . . . although, there's a pretty good chance he was ON IT during his freak-out Friday night.

KATO KAELIN believes that O.J. SIMPSON killed his ex-wife NICOLE and her friend RON GOLDMAN back in 1994.  But he doesn't have any actual proof.

--As you may recall, Kato was staying in a guest house on O.J.'s property when Nicole and Ron were murdered.  And the prosecution put him on the witness stand, because he supposedly had testimony that contradicted O.J.'s alibi.

--But when he took the stand, he was so fidgety and uncooperative that prosecutors had him declared a HOSTILE WITNESS.

--Interestingly, the friend Paris is talking to IS gay.  Although he makes it clear he doesn't allow himself to be ENTERED.

--Paris' rep tried to explain away her dumb-ass remarks with this thin excuse, quote, "Paris Hilton's comments were to express that it is dangerous for anyone to have unprotected sex that could lead to a life threatening disease.

--"The conversation became heated, after a close gay friend told her in a cab ride, a story about a gay man who has AIDS and is knowingly having unprotected sex.

--"He also discussed a website that encourages random sex by gay men with strangers.  As she was being shown the website her comments were in reference to those people promoting themselves on the site."

Is Lindsay Lohan Paying Six Figures for Car Insurance?

With all her vehicular mishaps, you've got to figure LINDSAY LOHAN is paying a lot for car insurance.  But how much?  One expert thinks it could be SIX FIGURES.

--A spokesperson for AutoInsuranceQuery.com says, quote, "Lindsay's auto insurance policy is likely to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, not to mention that some insurance providers in California may require a bond.

--"Insurance companies can refuse to insure anyone if they have been suspected of insurance fraud or had too many accidents.  It could happen to Lindsay, but as long as she can afford a very expensive insurance policy or custom plan, she can get insured."

The Latest on Lindsay Lohan’s Arrest

Yesterday morning, LINDSAY LOHAN was ARRESTED for allegedly hitting a pedestrian with her Porsche in a crosswalk in Manhattan, then taking off.

--But it doesn't sound like the incident is quite so cut and dried.  Here's what happened . . .

--Lindsay and some friends were planning to hit a nightclub at the Dream Hotel.  She was driving down a ramp on the side of the building when she ALLEGEDLY clipped a guy in a crosswalk. 

--The guy called the cops, and when Lindsay left the club at 2:30 A.M., she was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident.  Since the charge was only a misdemeanor, she was booked and released without bail.

--The supposed "victim" was treated at a nearby hospital for alleged LEG INJURIES.  He claims he suffered torn tendons, and the pain was so bad they gave him morphine.

--But it sounds like this guy is exaggerating his claim . . . if not completely making it up.

--Surveillance video from the Dream Hotel shows that Lindsay was going REALLY slow.  And according to TMZ, when police watched the tape, they couldn't even agree whether her car actually hit the guy.

--As Lindsay continues down the ramp, the tape shows this man with a supposedly injured leg SPRINTING after her.  It doesn't appear that he ever confronts her, though.

--Meanwhile, when Lindsay and her two passengers get out of her car, they don't seem to be flustered or aware that anything even happened in that crosswalk.

--The alleged victim also claims that Lindsay, quote, "smelled of alcohol real bad" . . . but police say they don't believe she was drunk.  Although they also admit they didn't give her a breathalyzer.

--And other witnesses say Lindsay had just come from a SLASH concert, where she hung out backstage all night.  And since Slash is sober, he doesn't allow booze in the backstage area.

--Lindsay's overworked publicist says, quote, "It appears that this is much ado about nothing.  We are confident this matter will be cleared up in the coming weeks and the claims being made against Lindsay will be proven untrue."

--Lindsay better hope she skates on this . . . because she's still on probation in her necklace theft case . . . and a hit-and-run would definitely be a violation of that.

--TMZ is reporting that the E! network is holding this up.  Khloe's contract with E! includes an exclusivity clause, so they'd have to sign off on her hosting "X Factor".

--Supposedly, E! doesn't mind Khloe working with Fox . . . but they're concerned that her promotional duties for "X Factor" would eat into her availability to do stuff for them.

--TMZ also says the producers want TWO hosts . . . and they'd like to pair Khloe with MARIO LOPEZ.  But former "High School Musical" star CORBIN BLEU is also in the running as a fallback option if they can't land Khloe or Mario.

--The band says they recorded "more than 60 songs" before selecting the final tracks for the album . . . and it doesn't sound like much of the material from the early, drunken sessions made the cut.

--She says, quote, "I think we're going to try and do (some) songs just for country music, and keep doing stuff for pop, as well.  For me, if it's a great song, let's just cut it, and not worry about where it lands.  Whatever it ends up sounding like, that's great.

--"As long as it's a natural thing, and it's something I love, I'm totally cool with doing it."

--Kelly's been getting a lot of love from country fans lately . . . but that won't change her course.  She says, quote, "I have a great career.  I never want to compromise my career just to get more fans.  I think that's cheesy, and I think it's transparent, as well."

--They also issued a statement saying, quote, "Their royal highnesses have been hugely saddened to learn that a French publication and a photographer have invaded their privacy in such a grotesque and totally unjustifiable manner."

--However . . . an Italian magazine called "Chi", which is owned by the same company . . . is planning to publish somewhere between 50 and 200 MORE pictures in a 26-page spread today.

 --Oh, and the publisher claims she has WORSE photos she DIDN'T use.  She said, quote, "There are more intimate pictures that exist that we haven't published and will not publish.  These images are full of joy, not degrading."

-William and Kate sued "Closer" for breach of privacy . . . and they may also sue the photographer who took the pics. 

--These pics were not taken at some public resort, but on private property owned by Will's cousin.  So it's not clear how a photographer was able to get close enough to take them.

Unfortunate Choice of Words of the Day: Kristen Stewart Loves What Her Latest Director Put Inside of Her

While promoting her new movie "On the Road", KRISTEN STEWART said something she probably wishes she could take back.

--She was praising her director, WALTER SALLES, and she said, quote, "HE PUTS SO MUCH INSIDE OF YOU."

--Obviously, that's a bad choice of words because Kristen's LAST director, RUPERT SANDERS, DID put something inside of her in the more literal sense.  (--Well, maybe.  We still don't know officially if they ever had sex.)

--Kristen went on to explain her point a little better . . . quote, "Once we got on set, it was so about just breathing and letting it happen.  He put so much trust in us.

--"So it was like, 'OK, so I have to take my clothes off?'  It's so not a big [deal]."

 (--Saying that the guy made it easy for her to take her clothes off?  Yet again, probably not the best choice of words.)

Are Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson Back Together?

"Titanic" Myth Busted! James Cameron Says Jack and Rose Could NOT Have Both Survived on That Plank

--People often criticize the ending of "Titanic", because the plank that KATE WINSLET survives on could have EASILY fit both her and LEONARDO DICAPRIO . . . meaning his character didn't have to die. 

--But director JAMES CAMERON says that even though they could have both fit, the plank wouldn't have held them both.  Thus, there was no getting around the fact that one of them had to die.

--He says, quote, "It's not a question of room;  it's a question of buoyancy.  Jack puts Rose on the raft, then he gets on the raft . . . He's not an idiot; he doesn't want to die . . . and then the raft sinks.

 --"So it's clear that there's really only enough buoyancy available for one person.  So, he makes a decision to let her be that person."

--He adds that even if they COULD both balance on the raft, because of the buoyancy issue they'd be half-in and half-out of the water, and would have BOTH died of hypothermia.

--He also said he thinks the guys from the show "Mythbusters" are going to do a segment on this very conundrum . . . and he wants to help them prove it once and for all.

--Just ask JULIANNE HOUGH.  She says she's put on 20 POUNDS since she started dating RYAN SEACREST.  And her body isn't the only thing he's ruined.

--She says, quote, "Now we always have great wine, and I can tell the difference.  So I told him, 'You ruined my life because I can't go to a friend's house and drink cheap wine anymore.'"

Simon Cowell Says He Chose Britney Spears Over Mariah Carey Because Mariah "Isn't Someone Who Wants to Say 'No' to People"

--But now, Simon claims he intentionally chose BRITNEY SPEARS over Mariah . . . and he also disses both Mariah and "Idol".

--He tells "In Touch Weekly", quote, "Mariah called me about 'X Factor', and I met with her, but my main concern was that she might have found it harder on 'X Factor' than on 'American Idol' . . .

--"Mainly because 'Idol' is a more GENTLE show and Mariah is not someone who wants to say 'no' to people.  I think she'll have an easier time on 'American Idol' than this show, definitely."

--By the way, TMZ reports that Simon has decided that he wants KHLOE KARDASHIAN to host "X Factor" this season.
