ONE GUESS: DOES KIM KARDASHIAN WANT PRIVACY OR MONEY?

It makes sense that Kim Kardashian has requested that Cedars Sinai hospital staffers on the maternity floor have their cell phones taken away while she’s giving birth in June. (Yes, June.) Only two senior members of the staff will be allowed to have phones. Obviously Kim is determined that NO ONE will snap a photo of her new baby and beat her to the punch by selling the “first baby photo.” That first photo is likely to bring more than enough money to pay for the baby’s college education, if the child Is so inclined. In the meantime, Kim is keeping busy planning the outfits she’ll wear to and from the hospital.

BRITNEY SPEARS BOUGHT A SICK DOG AT THE PET STORE- WHAT’S WRONG WITH HER?

It’s evident that Britney Spears still doesn’t have a 100% grip on reality. She actually went to a pet shop that buys from puppy mills and BOUGHT herself another dog! SO wrong in so many ways! Last fall she purchased her tiny teacup Yorkie Hannah for $1800 from the Barkworks pet store in Thousand Oaks. This chain of pet shops has had their West side store closed down due to sick animals and the Better Business Bureau gave them an F. Needless to say, animal activists have been slamming the store’s policies. Since Britney bought Hannah, the dog has been hospitalized three times with kidney and lung problems, according to RadarOnline. She’s currently in the hospital and not doing well, but fortunately Britney can afford the thousands of dollars in medical bills. Still, we wonder if Brit has learned any kind of lesson here. We also wonder how her split with fiance Jason Trawick will affect her state of mind.

MARIAH CAREY EXAGGERATED THE IMPORTANCE OF NICK’S CANNON’S KIDNEY STONES

We’re still laughing about the revelation that Nick Cannon’s “dramatic” illness was not so dramatic after all. His wife Mariah Carey tweeted for friends to “pray for Nick” when he was hospitalized in Aspen for kidney “problems.” She included a photo of herself languishing at his bedside. It turns out all Nick had was kidney stones – a fairly common and not so dangerous, but uncomfortable, disorder. It’s funny how Mariah tried to turn it into a huge drama. The healthy couple was photographed at the BET Awards this weekend. It looks like some extra straps were added to her dress to keep the top from slipping down.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR HOSPITALIZED: NICE GIRLS HAVE PROBLEMS TOO

Poor Heather Locklear. Anxiety and depression seem to be ruling her life for the past few years. Her frightened sister just called 911 because Heather, 50, had mixed alcohol and prescription drugs and she was taken to the hospital. In 2008, Heather had a suicide scare and checked into a medical facility in Arizona for 30 days to treat her “anxiety and depression,” although it seems apparent that substance abuse was involved. She had a several DUI situations after that and she and her fiancee Jack Wagner split up a few months ago. She and her exhusband Richie Sambora share custody of their teenage daughter Ava, pictured above.

DID JAY-Z EXPECT A SHOOT-OUT IN THE HOSPITAL WHEN BEYONCE GAVE BIRTH?

What the heck is going on with Jay-Z and Beyonce that would make them need a BULLETPROOF door for her hospital room? The couple spent TWO MONTHS renovating (and a rumored million dollars) the huge hospital recovery suite for her birth at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. Besides the black bulletproof door, windows were darkened so no one could see in and the hallways were curtained off from the rest of the hospital. Elaborate security was prepared – both private and the hospital’s own. Whether it really cost a million dollars or not, it sounds like something Al Capone or John Gotti might have done. Other expectant parents and their visitors were infuriated when they were shuttled in and out of rooms to make sure Beyonce’s visitors were not seen. Beyonce had a make up artist and hairdresser prepare her for well-wishers and the exit with Blue Ivy that nobody was allowed to witness.

WHAT REALLY CAUSED WESTON CAGE AND HIS TRAINER TO BRAWL ON THE STREET?

Dieting is hell, but who would guess that it would enrage Weston Cage to the point of brawling and getting locked up in a psycho ward ? Apparently he and his trainer were at the modest Farmer’s Kitchen restaurant in Hollywood where you would expect everything to be healthy. When his trainer nixed the food that the hungry death metal singer wanted to order off the menu, Cage (frontman for Eyes of Noctum, video above) flipped out and tried to kick him. After numerous bloody punches, the trainer subdued Cage on the sidewalk until cops could cart him away. (Sounds like they’re BOTH on steroids or some kind of machismo booster.) Nicolas Cage is with Weston at the hospital where he’s under observation. Weston’s music is definitely on the dark and violent side, but he always seemed like an okay kid.

GORDON RAMSAY CAUGHT GETTING HAIR TRANSPLANTS

We’re not fans of Gordon Ramsay’s nasty disposition on “Hell’s Kitchen” so we were particularly amused when he was caught in the act of having hair transplants. He was photographed leaving a Beverly Hills hair augmentation clinic wearing peculiar headgear that included a surgical cap. Apparently he had plugs transplanted from the back of his neck to his slightly receding front hairline. We hear that he had a new minimally invasive procedure that costs around $30,000 but it heals in a week or so.

TORI SPELLING DIDN’T WANT DEAN’S HOSPITAL DEPARTURE TO GO UNNOTICED

Tori Spelling even turns her husband’s release from the hospital into a photo op! We had to laugh when we saw these very calculated pictures of Tori rolling her husband Dean McDermott’s wheelchair out of the hospital. The balloons and placement of the kids make a great photo. Dean had an accident while dirt bike riding with his buddies last week and suffered a nasty puncture wound on his right side. He did vow to quit the risky sport. Another family that loves the limelight.

“CELEBRITY APPRENTICE” CHANGED EVERYTHING FOR BRET MICHAELS

We had no shortage of reasons NOT to like Bret Michaels. His arrogant self-indulgent rock star reputation, that revolting “Rock of Love” show, that hat/fake hair situation on his head, and his endless whining on “Celebrity Apprentice” about his diabetes and his daughter’s diabetes. At the same time, on “Apprentice” he showed himself to be a more likeable, hard-working decent guy. So when he suffered the brain hemorrhage, we had already started to like him a LITTLE and really felt bad for him and hope he’s all right. Was this caused by that head-bang at the Tony Awards? At this point he has slurred speech and blurred vision and it hasn’t improved. It doesn’t sound good, but hopefully, he will recover.

DAVID HASSELHOFF HAS TALENT FOR MAKING UP EXCUSES

It’s ironic how David Hasselhoff’s kids try so hard to get him to ADMIT he’s an alcoholic, but he just continues to deny everything. He was hospitalized yet AGAIN Sunday when his 17 year old long suffering daughter Hayley blew the whistle on him. Apparently the “America’s Got >Talent” judge was out of control after guzzling vodka and Hayley called her mom who alerted 911. Her poor-excuse-for-a-father was rushed to the hospital, dried out, and released the next day, as usual. This time he came up with an excuse that he mixed ear infection medication with anabuse and got dizzy. Sure.
