The number one gift that teens prefer is the greenback, dough, dinero, or simply cash.

Thirty-eight percent of U.S. teens would prefer cash for Christmas this year, followed by cell phones or portable electronics, a survey found.

Other in-demand holiday gifts included clothing and a car, according to a survey of 700 U.S. teens, conducted by Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Teens would rather go and buy the items themselves instead of getting those non-stylish things from their family. I also prefer cash in hand. Less hassle with getting cash, no need to stand in line to return things you don’t like. Talking about cash, gift cards are not cash, don’t assume they are because they are not. No one wants to be limited to one store and not being able to use all the value and finding out a few months later that the card lost value because it was not used.

Fergie

Stacy Ferguson or better known as Fergie of the Black Eye Peas has accepted a job as a stripper at the Bada Bing strip club. That’s right the same strip club own by Tony Soprano himself. If you have been living under a rock for many years, Fergie is not a real life stripper and Tony Soprano is not a real life mobster. Fergie will be playing an undercover cop working at the fictitious strip club.

Fergie apparently impressed Sopranos bosses after playing opposite John Travolta in the crime comedy Be Cool.

It also didn’t hurt when she did the video for My Humps. In other Fergie news, there’s also talks that Fergie will be going solo with her first solo album next year.

Can Fergie survive as a solo act in the music business as well as in show business? Will she be like Gwen Stefani and become so successful that she left her band in the dust, I doubt it. Correction, Gwen plans on making another record with band No Doubt.

According to reports, Nicole Richie has told a friend that Paris Hilton is a crank calling her.

Nicole has been getting phony phone calls very late at night, practically every night, and she suspects the culprit is her ex-best friend,” reports the forthcoming issue of In Touch Weekly. “Nicole doesn’t have proof, but she’s almost sure it’s Paris,” a friend told the mag.

I’m sorry but this can’t be true at all. Paris is way too busy with her own problems to have time to even play pranks on someone she doesn’t even like anymore. We all know Paris been busy with getting her car to the auto body shop to get it repair, crying over her lost video camera, and reliving her childhood as a child who was bullied. And less not forget the whole scandal involving the king of Girls Gone Wild Joe Francis.

Paris Hilton is involved in a fender bender with lover Stavros Niarchos driving while drunk. After crashing into a truck and then almost running over a person, they are finally stop by police. After a few words are exchanged the officers let them all go.

Is it me or did Stavros commit a hit and run? In my part of the world you usually get in trouble for that kind of thing. You might want to go see the whole video before it is gone.

Update:
There is an internal police investigation underway spearheaded by the media asking why Stavros was never given a breathalyzer test. The investigation will look to see if the officers violated any procedures or policies.

It must be hard being Paris Hilton, always losing things. This time Paris cries over losing her video camera at a club.

Paris doesn’t shed tears over people. They’re like spilled milk, ya know? But losing one’s video camera at a club, now this is call for waterworks! But yo! Earth to Planet Paris–what the hell are ya doing trotting around a damn recording device at a club?

She enlisted the help of fellow revelers to find her device, to no avail. “She was very anxious and crying for some time,” said a tear-witness.

I bet she’s worry “Second Night In Paris” is about to come out to a internet near you. Hasn’t this girl learn by now not to have any kind of recording devices. First she makes a night vision porn which gets stolen and then naked lesbian pictures on her Sidekick gets hacked into and now she loses a video camera at a club. This cat will never learn, did she think she was a director at the club with that camera?

To who ever found the recording device at the club, we want to see it. This damn video camera must contain the hottest Paris doing the nasty ever for her to cry over it. Or is she crying because mommy Kathy Hilton will kill her if another sex tape comes out?

Who needs to watch any soap opera when they can watch the real life soap opera that celebrities are involved in. A friend of Lindsay Lohan reports that Lohan say “It would be great to run away, get married barefoot on the beach and shock everybody.”

Another pal says that “Lindsay says she has met the man of her dreams,” and adds that Leto has encouraged her to eat healthy foods, which has helped her bring back her curvy figure. But friends are reportedly telling Lohan to take it slowly with Leto, a notorious ladies’ man who has dated Cameron Diaz, Scarlett Johansson and Ashley Olsen.

Lohan’s eagerness to wed is supposedly not just because of her fondness for Leto — but also because of her ire at Paris Hilton. “She’s angry at Paris for hooking up with Mary-Kate Olsen’s ex, Stavros Niarchos,” says the friend. Olsen and Lohan are buddies. “Catching a husband would be a poke in Paris’ eye.”

If Lohan is so excited to wed Leto because she is angry at Paris for hooked up with Mary-Kay Olsen’s ex, isn’t Lohan doing the same thing? Doesn’t Lohan realized that she is also dating one of the other Olsen sisters ex-boyfriend? As you can see the world of Hollywood real life soap is more exciting then your small screen soap.

Stay tune for the next episode in which Lohan bitch smack Paris bitch because Paris didn’t give a shit about Lohan’s marriage talk. And on a future episode watch for Mary-Kay to make an appearance when she takes back her Stavros and dump his ass after she finds out he’s got bugs in his pants.
