Hollywood recession tips and minterpreted coughs

Mary-Kate Olsen is celebrating the recession because she can buy cheap hats at Barneys.

A Page Six spy, who recently shared an elevator at Barneys with the diminutive actress, reports Olsen was excited about all the discounted merchandise for the taking. "It's really sad, the recession is everywhere. But at least they are having good sales," said Olsen, who pointed to her hat. "That's where I got this! The recession!"

Someone smack her for me please.

Luke Wilson is back in Austin, Texas for the holidays, and he's spending them at the Yellow Rose gentlemen's club. Ol' Luke was "getting lap dances and rocking out" to heavy metal.

Gew.

Apparently the hand injury Shia LaBeouf sustained in his DUI car crash earlier this year is fairly serious, much more so than has been admitted in the past. "Shia's tendons had fused together, and right after the accident there was talk of a partial amputation," a source tells the Daily News. Good thing he's an actor and not any other job where he'd actually have to suffer the consequences: the writers for the Transformers sequel wrote his injury into the plot.

Courteney Cox says that divorce from husband David Arquette isn't something she'd ever consider. "I don't know what the future's going to hold, but divorce isn't really an option," Cox says. She says the couple attends counseling to work on their issues. "Therapy helps us. It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work. I suppose you can work it out by talking to each other - I would just prefer to have a referee, it reminds us why we're together."

Michael Jackson has announced he is preparing for a comeback world tour, blasting recent reports he is suffering from a deadly lung condition.

Hack, hack, cough!

Hong Kong comedian Stephen Chow said he will no longer direct the Hollywood adaptation of "The Green Hornet" and may not star as Kato, a character made famous by Bruce Lee.

Hmmm.

Lindsay Lohan's girlfriend Samantha Ronson is recovering at home following her admission to a California hospital to treat an alleged struggle with exhaustion and depression.

I guess it would be exhausting making $3 million dollars pressing play on a digital turn table.

Brad Pitt had to enlist a less-famous friend to buy his Christmas gift for partner Angelina Jolie because shop clerks thought he was a prank caller. The star fought to purchase the complete works of Hungarian cult director Bela Tarr for the actress in time for Christmas.

Aww aren't they sweet now that everyone is over the whole home wrecker thing?
