Toy peddlers are laughing all the way to the bank with Heath Ledger's Joker doll selling out at New York stores. Droves of people lined up early at the Toys "R" Us store in Times Square to get their hands on plastic figurines depicting the dead actor's character in the upcoming Batman sequel, "The Dark Knight."

"There are none left in the warehouse, either. You will be waiting a while if you want one," one store employee said. The hard-to-get Joker dolls, which sell for $9.99, were already up for grabs on eBay - with one being sold as part of a $55 package with a Batman figurine. Toys "R" Us spokesman Bob Friedland downplayed the sellout, which comes on the heels of Ledger's death from an accidental drug overdose in January.

"We are getting these products, all of the 'Dark Knight' action figures, on a regular basis," he said. A Mattel spokeswoman said the action figures were delivered to some stores a week ago, but many New York outlets were still waiting for shipments yesterday.

The Spice Girl is believed to be claiming Rock & Republic owe her as much as £50million for "loss of earnings" following her split with the trendy clothing company. The pop star signed up with the fashion label to make her jeans, which sold for more than £200 a pair, in September 2004. But she parted ways with the label two years later amid rumours of rows with designer and owner Michael Ball.

The normally publicity-hungry wife of England footballer David Beckham was reportedly criticised for not participating in enough PR opportunities. A High Court listing shows that Beckham Brand Ltd, a company set up by Victoria and David to deal with their activities in the world of fashion, filed a claim against Rock & Republic last month.

There are no further details available because the claim form has not yet been served on Rock & Republic, but Victoria is reportedly seeking the payout as compensation for lost earnings as she believes the jeans were more profitable than previously thought.

"I'll tell you one affair she didn't have," he told the co-hosts. "I put all my best moves on Barbara. ...I had been in love. I had a huge crush on Barbara." But Geraldo says she "gave [him] the brush off," pinching his cheek and saying, "Oh, you're so cute."

I can exclusively report that Ms. Winfrey’s upcoming interview with Cruise includes questions about Scientology, his verbal smackdown with Matt Lauer on the Today show and, yes, the infamous couch-jumping incident.

Winfrey actually revealed these details herself during this weekend's Las Vegas taping of her joint interview with Tina Turner and Cher. And that isn't all Winfrey shared. The first of the two-part Cruise one-on-one has already taken place at his estate in Telluride, Colo., Winfrey said. "Oprah said Tom gave her a ride on a snowmobile," one Vegas audience member told me. "She also said Katie and Suri were there for the interview, too."

Before the Cher and Turner taping at Caesars Palace, a member of Winfrey's entourage hit the stage to ask everyone not to repeat anything they were about to see or hear. "She had everyone repeat in unison, 'What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' several times," my source said. Come on, O! Did you really think everyone in the audience of 4,000 or so was going to keep a lid on it?

Some parents reacted with outrage over the weekend when the television program Entertainment Tonight began showing commercials promoting a scoop: Ms. Cyrus, the star of the wholesome Disney Channel blockbuster Hannah Montana, had posed topless, albeit with her chest covered, for the Vanity Fair photographer, Annie Leibovitz.

Screen grabs of the photo quickly popped up online, sparking a blogosphere debate. "Bonfire anyone?" wrote Lin Burress on her marriage and parenting blog, Telling It Like It Is, referring to the mountain of Hannah Montana retail items -- makeup, shoes, clothes - in the marketplace. "Parents should be extremely concerned," Ms. Burress said in an interview. "Very young girls look up to Miley Cyrus as a role model."

It is doubtful that one photograph -- especially one that is tame in the context of an Internet awash in nude photographs of other starlets - could dent the Hannah Montana machine, said several Wall Street analysts. Retail sales for the franchise are expected to total about $1 billion in 2008. A motion picture is in the works for 2009 and Ms. Cyrus signed a seven-figure book deal with the Disney Book Group last week.

But keeping a teenage entertainment franchise on track in an age when stars are monitored around the clock by bloggers and paparazzi is extremely difficult, even for a company with the experience of Disney. Executives are constantly battling to keep minor slipups from growing into full-blown controversies. Last week, the public relations problem du jour was a green bra; photos online showing Ms. Cyrus pulling away her tank top to flash her underwear.

*****

Ms. Cyrus had a different view in a prepared statement released on Sunday: "I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed. I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about."

Beth Kseniak, a spokeswoman for both Vanity Fair magazine and Ms. Leibovitz said, "Miley's parents and/or minders were on the set all day. Since the photo was taken digitally, they saw it on the shoot and everyone thought it was a beautiful and natural portrait of Miley."

"Shooting bikinis is now my life, which as you can imagine is unmitigated hell. But if you signed on for the gig, sadly, you have to go and be jolly in a skimpy white bikini. So now I rely on nice photographers and a certain amount of retouching. "I don't mind if you want to make me a bit thinner and a bit younger."

"We all like to get rid of spots and shadows under our eyes. But I've always been quite particular I don't like my face to be retouched." Liz now routinely touches up her family pictures with husband Arun Nayar and son Damian. She said: "Everytime I download my holiday snaps I go over them."

Sources very close to the recent Nina Garcia fiasco confirm exclusively to PerezHilton.com that she was indeed fired from her role as Fashion Director at Elle magazine. Why??? She simply stopped working!

"She became too busy with Project Runway the last year to two," a mag insider tells us. "Nina had been spending about 8 hours a week on average actually in the office and working, and had her 2 assistants doing all of her work for her." How Devil Wears Prada of her! HOWEVER, we're also hearing that Nina may be coming back to Elle! What, say you? How so????

"The mag -- and Project Runway -- is looking into the possibility of giving her the silly and totally inconsequential title of 'editor at large" so she can still work on TV," a source tells us. "But the Runway people have been shopping around for a replacement for her for months because they have been anticipating her getting fired."

Elle is said to have parted company with its fashion director and Project Runway star and author Nina Garcia sources said late Friday. Neither Garcia, Elle editor in chief Robbie Myers nor a spokeswoman for Elle could be reached for comment.

On Tuesday, Elle hosted a dinner with Moschino to celebrate Simon Doonan's new book, "Eccentric Glamour: Creating an Insanely More Fashionable You", but Garcia was notably absent.

Speculation about Garcia's departure has swirled for months, especially after the arrival of Joe Zee at the beginning of 2007 as creative director. Last spring, Garcia left the magazine on maternity leave, and began writing a monthly fashion column for Elle upon her return. Garcia was in the office on Friday morning, but by the afternoon, sources close to the building say Hachette’s Midtown offices were abuzz about the rumor.

As part of the Idol Gives Back fundraising effort, stamps featuring the six Idols and this year's winner will be available to fans. If the limited editions — 100,000 20-stamp sheets for each Idol — sell out, Idol Gives Back would get about $7 million, Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe says.

That would be a step toward topping last year's $76 million raised for foreign and domestic charities, says Lythgoe, who hopes to break $100 million. The stamps are "a great idea, especially for philatelists. I think it's a little bit iconic, too. It's great for Idol."

Thursday afternoon, Evelyn and Leonard Lauder, held a private luncheon at Le Cirque 2000 to honor Elizabeth Hurley’s 13 years as a Lauder spokeswoman. "It's been a lovefest since the beginning," said Evelyn Lauder, who gave Hurley a gold Cartier Love bracelet. "Elizabeth resonates with everyone -- especially the consumers. They say she is the kind of person they would want as a friend." Hurley will appear in two Estée Lauder brand ads later this year: for the new Sensuous fragrance, due out in July, and for Perfectionist, which the company is releasing with an updated formula, also in July.

When she's not at Lauder, Hurley has a host of other things keeping her busy. She continues to design and market her Elizabeth Hurley Beach collection of swimwear (a trademark fight with California-based sportswear brand Hurley International notwithstanding) and has just designed a lower-priced swimwear line for Spanish retailer Mango. Hurley will appear in advertising for the collection, Elizabeth Hurley for Mango, due out next month.

Players can pick from multiple radio stations for the soundtrack, ranging from licensed songs to new ones. Lagerfeld picked his favorite electronica and dance music and peppered the selection with some of his rapid-fire commentary. "They had written a politically incorrect dialogue,' the designer said. 'I loved it, [particularly] in a time when everybody wants to be so politically correct when they talk."

He didn't have to dig too deep to find his music selection. "Music is part of the life of fashion, too,” he said. "Through the famous sound stylist Michel Gaubert, I'm very much 'au courant' and know what's going on."

After years of speculation, singer Beyoncé Knowles wed her longtime boyfriend, rapper Jay-Z, on Friday, a friend of the couple's tells PEOPLE. Though there is no official confirmation, the friend says, "It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family."

The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper's Tribeca apartment that drew Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple's friend Gwyneth Paltrow.

*****

A source tells PEOPLE that Amy's Orchids was hired to provide 50,000 to 60,000 white orchid blooms from Thailand for a "big party." At the apartment, waiters were seen practicing their service. A couple since 2002, Jay-Z, 38, and Knowles, 26, always kept quiet about their relationship, even as they were photographed together on romantic holidays around the world. Still, marriage seemed to be in the cards – eventually. "I never pictured myself as a bride," she told Cosmopolitan in January 2006, "but after my sister's wedding, I did start thinking about what kind of wedding I'd want. I don't think I want a big one."

The photos that first revealed a friendship between Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham left people scratching their heads at what the two could possibly have in common. If, two years later, the answer still isn't clear, look no further than the current issue of Life & Style, which claims the friends share an affinity for splitting low-calorie meals meant for one.

The magazine reports that during a recent outing to Madeo, the duo shared a green salad sans dressing, one piece of fish and one side of steamed spinach. They also ordered one regular Coke and two glasses of ice.

"Katie poured half the soda into each of their glasses, then filled up the rest with bottled water," a Madeo regular told the magazine.

On Being an Outcast:

"I felt very much like an outcast when I was younger. No matter where I went, there was always this sense of not really falling into place or into one category. I moved around a lot when I was growing up, so nobody knew me and I was never one thing or the other. Being biracial, I didn't really have somebody to look at and say, 'Okay, this person is exactly the same as me, and they're out there.' A lot of kids have said that to me, 'Until you put your first record out, I didn't feel like there was anybody that was the same as me.' People who don't feel like they fit in can identify with me. I promised myself when I was a little girl that I would never forget what it felt like to be a kid. I never wanted to grow up and be out of touch with what that feels like."

On Her "Breakdown":

"How do you climb back from the shambles when everybody counts you out? That can be a very difficult thing to come to terms with, especially when you've had so much success from such an early age. I have such faith in God that I really had to surrender everything and just know that I was going to be okay. That's truly where I had to go to when it felt like the bottom. More than anything, it was learning to grow up and take care of myself. Not treat myself like the corporation wanted to treat me, but treat myself like a human being. I've faced my worst fears and come out of them okay. Everything is always going to be all right as long as I hang on to the person inside of me."

Madonna made the record with Justin Timberlake, who co-wrote five of the songs and sings on four, Pharrell Williams, and the producer Timbaland. "I didn't have any idea what kind of music I wanted to make," Madonna told me. "I just knew I wanted to collaborate with Pharrell and Justin. I needed to be inspired and thought, Well, who's making records I like? So I went, 'I like that guy and I like that guy.' It's not like we hit it off right away. Writing is very intimate. You have to be vulnerable and it’s hard to do that with strangers. I had ups and downs before everybody got comfortable, but I grew very fond of Pharrell and Justin."

Celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson, who has trained Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Lopez, and Penelope Cruz, says: "I had one actress training with me four times a week in addition to daily exercise bike classes. When the Press asked how she'd 'transformed' her body, she said: 'Oh, I do yoga and hike with my dog.' It makes me laugh." So the next time you see a pin-thin celebrity bragging about her relaxed approach to eating, remember this: They take drugs

Eating disorder expert Carolyn Costin, who has treated many Hollywood actresses, says she's even seen a rise in "the drugs used for attention deficit being crumpled up and snorted". Some celebrities also take Clenbuterol, known as "Clen". Commonly prescribed to treat respiratory problems in horses, in humans it can cause fat loss. While Clenbuterol and Adderall create a slimming effect in the short-term, after a while, users report a sudden and uncontrollable weight gain. Having tampered with the natural metabolism, the drugs stop working. Manhattan-based trainer Justin Gelband, who works with catwalk and catalogue models, says: "Diet pills and steroids are huge right now. After Kate Moss was caught supposedly doing coke, the modelling agencies started to crack down on girls using hardcore drugs like cocaine and heroin to stay slim. "So now it's more diet pills and steroids; they are easier to hide and, if pressed, the girls can say that they have a prescription."

During the filming of Cold Mountain, there were rumours that one famous actress on set ate only boiled eggs. She would rise in the morning and eat one and then have one or two at the end of the day. That was her entire diet.

Paris Hilton caused a stir when she walked into New York restaurant Nobu recently. When a waiter asked the heiress for her order, he was quietly told: "Mineral water." In fact, over the course of her two-hour "meal", Paris took sips of water and Red Bull - she didn't eat a single bite. And she's not alone. Super-slim Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross was spotted dining at a restaurant a few years back with her now husband Tom Mahoney. Lifelong battle: Marcia Cross describes not eating is 'a constant struggle' According to one eyewitness: "He ordered sea bass and prawns, but she just sipped fruit juice." Marcia recently admitted to the pressure to be thin: "Not eating is a constant struggle. It's like they pay me not to eat. It's a living hell."

Lohan is thinking outside of the box, though. She recently revealed that she's got a business idea to carry her over until her next windfall: She'll be starting her own line of leggings. Lohan told Life & Style, "It will be a while before it comes out, but I'm going to do it. Some of them will have prints and some will have patterns. I love leggings."

"Lindsay has had a reality check - she's not getting offers like she used to. She's definitely thinking she needs a big blockbuster just so she can go back to living comfortably," said one source in the film industry.

Just where did the money go? In Touch weekly outlined some of her spending, and the magazine concludes that Lohan has paid more than $315,000 on rehab stays and more than $1 million on hotels (in particular, they point to the $2,700/night suite at the Chateau Marmot where Lohan lived for a time). And although her rep denies Lohan's cash situation and spending, there is a stunning budget line for tanning: The magazine says that she spent a mind-boggling $70,000 alone on her sunshine in a bottle.

Scarlett Johansson's offer of a dream date with her has fetched nearly £20,000 at auction.

The chance to spend a night with the 23-year-old Hollywood beauty sparked a bidding frenzy among eager suitors on eBay. Bidding began at just 50p but soared upwards with 170 offers made in all. The highest bid was £19,680 and the lucky winner, who is from the UK, will now join the sexy blonde at the premiere of her film He's Just Not That Into You in Los Angeles or New York next July.

He will be ferried to the glittering event in a chauffeur-driven limousine and will join the star on the red carpet. He can take a friend along - but might prefer to keep Scarlett all to himself. After the screening, Bafta winner Scarlett will hand her date a personal handwritten note. But he may have his work cut out wooing her as she is rumoured to be about to marry actor Ryan Reynolds, 31.
