GUILTY PHIL SPECTOR IS IN SHOCK

It’s been six years, but Lana Clarkson can rest in peace, at last. The revolting Phil Spector (whose excellent music has nothing to do with his demeanor) has been found guilty and faces a sentence of fifteen years to life for second degree murder. No one is more surprised than he is. He’s been getting away with close to murder for years, brandishing guns and terrorizing women and children. We’re betting he’s done nothing to prepare for this sentence because he really thought he could get away with murder. The world is a better place!

MEL GIBSON DIVORCE: BLAME IT ON THE BOTTLE

How Robyn Gibson lasted 29 years married to Mel Gibson is a miracle in itself. Basically, it’s his drinking that broke them up. Almost every dumb or tasteless thing Gibson has done through the years involved his struggle with alcohol. But Robyn knew what she was getting into. Back when he was an unknown actor in Australia he used to get drunk at the local pub with his rowdy pals and the night usually ended with a fight in the parking lot with Mel in the middle. The bartender would phone Robyn and she’d pull up in her pickup truck and his friends would toss belligerent Mel into the back and she’d drive him home. Seven kids later, Robyn is about to become the most eligible divorcee in Hollywood when she gets her half of his 900 million dollar fortune.

We didn’t realize that Mickey Rourke is a huge star in Russia. The Russians LOVE his bad-boy, womanizing villainous image, and Mickey has started hanging out in Russian clubs and restaurants in LA where he gets loads of attention. For the past six months, Mickey has been studying Russian because he plays a Russian character in “Iron Man 2,” and now that he speaks the language, he’s even MORE popular. According to an insider, Russians treat Mickey “like Michael Jackson” – whatever that means.

Hundreds of kids are lined up outside a Vancouver high school where “New Moon” is filming scenes in the cafeteria. Edward and Bella are back together and Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are cracking jokes and hanging out between shots. It WOULD have been nice if Hollywood had been more financially accommodating so the movie could have been made HERE.

Diane Keaton wore her signature turtleneck, big belt, and hat combination to take her son Duke to a Lakers game. We were a bit surprised by the high platform heels she chose. She really got into the game, waving her arms and hollering.

“Medium” star Patricia Arquette turned up in the company of her estranged husband Thomas Jane Easter weekend. She filed for divorce in January, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Jane had a DUI the year before and insiders say it was his drinking that wrecked the marriage. They have a five year old daughter Harlow. Maybe something has changed. The pair showed up at Il Sole for dinner looking perfectly happy and Thomas tried to hide behind an Easter basket as they drove away.

One would think Michael Jackson would be too busy rehearsing for his London concerts to find time to shop in Beverly Hills. But he just HAD to visit the Lladro store because his massive collection of Lladro porcelain figurines of babies and children from Neverland is being auctioned off on April 22. He had second thoughts about that too late, so he’s starting a new collection.

Rob Pattinson kept his best asset covered up when he left “Twilight” costar Kristen Stewart’s birthday party in Vancouver. He might be surprised to learn that more than one aspiring young actor-type turned up at Bryan Rabin’s Diamond Dogs event Thursday night at H.Wood, and they STOLE his look. With hair askew and pasty white skin, the guys turned heads in the rockin’ crowd. We predict a proliferation of Pattinson wanna-bes.
