OF COURSE NICK CANNON WANTS SOMEONE ELSE TO PAY FOR HIS BIRTHDAY PARTY

Yesterday Page 6 wrote a big story about how Nick Cannon is looking for corporate sponsors to pay for his 30th birthday bash and fill gift bags. The party will be hosted by his wife Mariah Carey, and lots of high profile guest are “confirmed” such as Jay-Z and Beyonce, Ashton and Demi, Kobe Bryant etc, to whet the sponsors appetites. Of course, Nick and Mariah don’t need the money but they’re only doing what just about ALL the celebrities do – let someone else pay for their parties. Jay-Z and Beyonce don’t need the money either, but they never pay for their own parties. Nick has ALWAYS gotten sponsors for his birthday parties – the difference is HE talks about it and other celebrities have their PR people handle it quietly.

Dozens of gold and platinum discs are up for sale as well as tour jackets and VIP backstage passes that Sheila used to get into his concerts, plus magazines and other odds and ends. Music industry experts predict there will be worldwide demand for these rare items because they belonged to Elton’s mother.

HOWARD STERN HAS BEDBUGS IN HIS LIMO

New Yorkers are recoiling in horror from an infestation of bedbugs and even squeamish Howard Stern has been fighting them. The building where Howard does his Sirius radio show was treated for bedbugs over the weekend and Howard sounded doubtful on the air that the problem was over. Stern was doubly horrified when trained dogs sniffed out bedbugs in his limo and THAT had to be fumigated also. Certainly, Howard must be worried about his posh apartment in the city because the bugs travel so quickly. New York is currently the epicenter of the bedbug infestation and the pests cross all boundaries – from hotels to homes to clothing stores and theaters. They are NOT easy to destroy.

HALLE BERRY AND HER CASANOVA, OLIVIER MARTINEZ

Halle Berry is asking for trouble. She’s pictured here walking around Paris looking awfully happy, with her “Dark Tide” costar Olivier Martinez, his dog and her friend Salma Hayek and her daughter. Halle and Olivier finished their movie, Halle flew back to LA for a week and then returned to Paris to see Olivier. Trouble is, the charming Martinez is something of a playboy and has romanced a number of famous women (including Kylie Minogue, Angelina Jolie, Mira Sorvino, and models Elsa Pataky and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.) Odds are not in Halle’s favor for a long term relationship, so hopefully she’s keeping that in mind.

JANET JACKSON AND WISSAM AL MANA: A PERMANENT VACATION?

Janet Jackson, 44, has never been as social as she’s become with her boyfriend Wissam Al Mana, 34, from Qatar. She’s been seen all over Europe with him, including Fashion Week in Paris, on vacation in Sardinia, and he accompanied her to New York where she put on a private concert at Radio City Music Hall. Now they’re back in Paris and going to the gym together. Since they started dating, Janet has lost around 20 pounds, so he’s a good influence. But when does this mogul have time to run his empire?

WATCH OUT, HERE COMES JANICE DICKINSON!

On a recent visit to Robertson Blvd, Janice Dickinson burst into one of her favorite posh stores, screaming into her cell phone as usual, and marched to the rear of the store as other shoppers jumped out of the way. She plopped down on a chair, rummaged around in her bag, and yelled “Where’s my WALLET? I can’t find MY WALLET!” This happens ALL THE TIME! It’s a CONSPIRACY!” Terrified customers ducked out the door as Janice’s long suffering assistant came running in the store. “Your wallet’s in the car!” she said, rolling her eyes.
