Apparently, Mimi doesn’t like getting confused with Mary and has opposed Mary’s request to trademark the name. Mary says Mariah is “Crazy! She’s Crazy! Mary’s my name!”

While TMZ cameras rolled, Mary fielded a phone call informing her that one of her spurned “stalkers” has issued a press release in support of Mariah. Her bubbly attitude seemed to burst.

The arrest was the first of its kind in Lillington, a town about 30 miles south of Raleigh, Powers said.

NEW YORK [AP] — Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees is not getting her tiara back after losing it because she appeared in a slew of prurient pictures — and that’s final, pageant officials said Friday in response to speculation stirred up by pageant co-owner Donald Trump.

“The Miss Universe Organization has thoroughly considered the request of Ms. Katie Rees to be reinstated as Miss Nevada USA 2007,” Paula M. Shugart, president of the Miss Universe Organization, said in a statement released to The Associated Press. “In light of the serious nature of the circumstances, there is no recourse but to stand by our decision.”

Trump, who owns the Miss Universe Organization and Miss USA with NBC, told the television show “Extra” in a segment broadcast Thursday that he was looking at the Dec. 21 decision to fire Rees, fueling buzz that the beauty queen might be reinstated.

Trump decided to allow Conner to remain Miss USA after she agreed to go into rehab and undergo drug testing.

“I have been a huge fan of Edge since the first time I saw him appear on WWE Raw and it has been a dream of mine to meet him ever since,” Haze said. “In fact, he has inspired me to get back into wrestling.”

Haze was especially impressed with Edge’s down-to-earth personality offscreen.

“It was so amazing to finally meet him. It was the best Christmas present I could have asked for,” she said. “He is such a great guy. He was so friendly and absolutely loved the New Porn Order.”

The New Porn Order, Haze’s production company, is set to give out a free breast augmentation to a lucky winner at the upcoming 2007 Sex and So Much More Show in Denver, Colo.

Chicago [AP] - Michael Jordan and his wife of 17 years — Juanita — are divorcing.

A statement from the couple’s attorneys says they decided “mutually” and “amicably” to end their 17 year marriage.

The divorce papers were filed today at the Lake County courthouse, where a judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered.

Juanita Jordan previously filed for divorce in January 2002, but withdrew her petition a month later when the couple announced they were attempting a reconciliation.

“All you have to do is look at their red faces to know who’s taking something to help them perform. It’s disgusting.” Meanwhile, Jameson is giving good Internet.

“We are pleased to report that no follow-up medical attention is needed for any student who ingested Ranch salad dressing,” Bullo said in the letter mailed to parents Dec. 22.

Marco Castro, 17, confessed to police Dec. 12 that he had taken a salad dressing container Dec. 6 from the school cafeteria and ejaculated into the contents in a nearby restroom. He then returned the container to the cafeteria.

According to Bullo, the matter has been investigated by the DuPage County Health Department and the Illinois Department of Public Health.

“Based on this investigation, students and parents do not need to take any health-related actions relative to this situation,” Bullo said. “There is no risk to students.”

Health Department and school officials cited privacy laws in refusing to give more information about Castro’s tests.

The contents of the salad dressing container remained in the junior-senior cafeteria for more than two days until students reported the incident to school officials. At least two students reported eating the tainted dressing, District 200 officials said.

Bullo said she could not comment on how Castro was reprimanded by the school or if he had been suspended. “We did what we could in the matter,” she said.

Castro, a senior at Wheaton North, was charged with attempted aggravated battery and disorderly conduct, a class A misdemeanor. If students press charges against Castro, he could face felony charges.

Castro is scheduled to appear in court Jan. 24.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Chicago, alleges that Play All Ltd. failed to uphold its end of a licensing contract with Chicago-based Playboy and infringed on Playboy’s registered trademark by selling unauthorized merchandise emblazoned with the iconic Playboy rabbit head.

Playboy says Play All ignored Playboy’s request to stop selling unauthorized items and wants a judge to order the company to stop.

“Play All’s continuing illegal conduct therefore irreparably harms Playboy,” the lawsuit says. “It infringes and dilutes the value of Playboy’s trademarks, diminishes Playboy’s reputation and destroys the goodwill among consumers that Playboy has devoted years and millions of dollars to develop.”

Playboy alleges that Play All’s actions have caused Playboy more than $100,000 in damages.

Neither Playboy nor a lawyer for the company returned a call. A representative of Play All could not be reached for comment.

In an April 1, 2004, licensing agreement, Playboy authorized Play All to manufacture and sell certain logoed clothing and apparel in Israel, according to the lawsuit.

The items, including jewelry and handbags, were to hit store shelves no later than Nov. 1, 2004, according to the lawsuit.

Playboy alleges that Play All breached its contract in early 2005 when the Israeli company sublicensed the manufacturing and selling of unauthorized products to another company without Playboy’s permission, failed to have all items ready for sale by Nov. 1, 2004, and did not provide a required letter of credit.

Playboy wants an order that Play All cease selling all trademarked items and destroy any remaining inventory, account for sales of all authorized and unauthorized items, disgorge all profits made from selling Playboy merchandise after the Chicago company terminated its licensing contract and pay damages in an amount to be determined at trial.
