For those of you sick of hearing about Disney teen stars buying multi-million dollar homes during a major financial crisis -- just stop reading.

Vanessa Hudgens, 19, just sang and danced her way into a $2.75 million home in Studio City, Cal. Zac Efron can now visit Hudgens unchaperoned in her six bedroom, 6.5 bath, 5,200 sq. ft. home -- which includes pool, spa and a "barbeque island," according to the L.A. Times.

Also on part of Vanessa's new digs -- a wine cellar -- which, of course, she won't use till she turns 21. Because that would be illegal.

H.M.A.S.P. -- Hockey Moms Against Sarah Palin

Posted Oct 12th 2008 4:46AM by TMZ Staff

It probably sounded like a safe bet at the time: self-pronounced hockey mom Sarah Palin dropping the puck amongst peers at a Philadelphia Fliers game. Her campaign manager should've been more informed about Philly fans.

Just for knowin's sake, Philadelphia fans are legendary for being the most brutal in all of sports -- they once booed Santa Claus during an Eagles half-time show. But cut to last night, when Sarah skated into the Fliers stadium to drop the ceremonial puck -- only to be greeted by split of boos and cheers.

Politics really brings the best out in people.

Bon Jovi Sued for Giving Lyrics A Bad Name

Posted Oct 11th 2008 1:00PM by TMZ Staff

Jon Bon Jovi is being sued for 400 bil -- yes, billion bucks by a Boston musician who says Jovi allegedly borrowed lyrics from his Boston Red Sox anthem entitled, "(Man I Really) Love This Team."

Samuel Bartley Steele, the front man for a band calling themselves "The Chelsea City Council", believes Bon Jovi heard his song while campaigning in Boston for John Kerry in '04, then used the lyrics in his own song entitled, "I Love This Town."

Regardless of the result -- Steele is really livin' on a prayer if he thinks he's going to get that amount of cash.

A Bon Jovi spokesperson says they haven't seen the lawsuit yet.

Jennifer Takes Back Seat To Angelina -- Again

Posted Oct 11th 2008 12:02PM by TMZ Staff

It's the battle of the titans! Forbes Magazine recently did a tabloid survey, and discovered that Angelina Jolie is the celebrity face most people want to see on the cover. Jennifer Aniston came in second.

Here's where it hurts -- Aniston was first on the list last year. Does Angelina have to take everything!?

Top sellers included Jamie Lynn Spears and Nicole Richie -- but Angelina had the best average of the three judged categories: Likability, overall sales, and most dependents claimed on a tax form.

Peter Cook: "I'm Not a Scumbag Pervert"

Posted Oct 11th 2008 11:33AM by TMZ Staff

In last night's "20/20" interview with Barbara Walters, Christie Brinkley's ex, Peter Cook, claimed he's not a womanizing, sex-crazed pervert. He's just drawn that way.

Cook went on to claim his motivations in the world's ugliest divorce trial were not financial. Comparing his sullied reputation to an "elephant in the room," Cook told Walters he just wants his kids to know the real him.

He must mean the guy who's the loving father and dedicated husband -- not that other guy who bathed daily in online porn and banged his 18-year-old assistant.

Jay-Z's Big Pimpin' Put on Hold

Posted Oct 11th 2008 11:30AM by TMZ Staff

The next time you say a little prayer at an ATM during your lunch break -- say one for Jay-Z too.

Times have gotten so hard in London, he can't find any clubs that are willing to pay his host fee of 45,000 bucks. The London Paper says Jay has apparently lowered the fee to 15,000K, but still no takers.

It really is a hard knock life.
