Pop star Lionel Richie flew into a panic at the news his daughter Nicole was pregnant - as he believed it would spell an end to his sex appeal.

The All Night Long star, 59, believed the birth of 14-month old Harlow, fathered by punk rocker Joel Madden, would signal his sex symbol status was over.

Yet Richie now admits he enjoys life as a grandfather, albeit at a distance.

He tells British tabloid the Daily Record, "I went through a panic - that's the end of my career. But I'm having more fun now with the responsibility of being a grandpa - that is, playing with the baby and handing her back."

Three people were arrested and six others hurt Saturday after bedlam broke out while they waited to audition for America's Next Top Model, police said.

Police didn't know what prompted the chaos involving hundreds of people outside the Park Central New York hotel in Manhattan. The panic left the street outside the hotel littered with shoes and clothing, according to news reports.

"It was pretty scary," Jessica Paravati told WNYW-TV. She said she was caught up in a stampede after waiting on line overnight, hoping for a shot at stardom on the reality show.

Two women and a man were arrested on disorderly conduct charges, police said. Authorities also shut down the audition, saying it wasn't properly organized.

Actor and comedian Steve Martin has offered to pay for the off-campus production of his play Picasso at the Lapin Agile after it was banned from an Oregon high school.

Martin wrote in a letter to The La Grande Observer that his goal in paying for the performance of the play is to keep his work "from acquiring a reputation it does not deserve," the Associated Press reports.

According to reports, Picasso at the Lapin Agile was banned from La Grande High School in Oregon after a parent objected to the production and provided a petition signed by 137 people. The main objections to the play were the drinking scenes and its alleged disrespectful references to women.

    Julia Louis-Dreyfus is working hard at staying healthy and keeping fit.

    "I feel like I deserve a treat when I work hard," said Louis-Dreyfus. "It's important to give yourself a little of what you really want so you don't feel like you're in food prison."

    So what does the former Seinfeld star indulge in? "I have a chocolate drawer in my desk where I keep treats at all times," she says. "As long as I can have one or two pieces, I'm fine."

    So is there anything she simply can't resist? "My biggest food vice is bacon," Louis-Dreyfus confesses. "In fact, I don't keep bacon in my house - that would be way too tempting."

    My husband would understand this temptation, but I can tell you there is definitely bacon in our house.

    America's Next Top Model contestants were led to their new vehicle on the show, a mini-bus that's a 100% BioDiesel.

    Mr. Jay informs us that Tyra wants to call attention to "the environment" and that "Top Model is going green". Sweet.

    One of the super skinny "model wannabes" Mila says it's really important to be aware "what keeps our Earth good". Another one of the girls says she thinks the seats are made out of "recycled tires or something".

    Oh Lord.

    If a show about super skinny girls who intentionally want to flaunt their bodies can single-handedly prevent New York from flooding and India from having hail and polar bears from losing their home, well then so be it.

    No no, I shouldn't be like that, I should be glad that Tyra Banks is having the show "go green" I just wish these stick girls with their pretty faces would read a book every once in awhile. Models are beautiful, but don't you think we should make sure the girls we put on shows like this also have a brain!
