DJ J-Boogie, Justin Boland, is all set to marry his girlfriend of six years in about 21 days from now in a small, private ceremony with family in Saratoga, Calif. “It’s really funny because everyone who sees her always thinks she’s Latina,” he remarked to friends during the Mission Vinyl sale at Fabric8. “They never guess that she’s actually half-Vietnamese.” The couple plans to jet to Mexico for a mini-moon, then go big in Zanzibar later in the year. The former Nickelodeon TEENick TV host’s music has appeared on MTV and Playboy and has a new album up for release by Om Records near the end of September. “But, knowing Om, it’s probably more like mid-October,” he laughed. Mission Vinyl followed his concert at the Great American Music Hall, and he was reunited with artist Romanowski and a friend.

We’re all out of Prince Albert in a Can, but would you settle for Salman Rushdie in a Closet? That’s right: the Booker Prize-winning author was locked in “a cupboard under the stairs” by his Special Branch bodyguards while they got drunk at the bar. Mind you, they were protecting him in the first place from the fatwa via the Iranian Ayatollah. Ron Evans’ autobiography, On Her Majesty’s Service, portrays Rushdie as a rude and narcissistic slob, whom they nicknamed ”Scruffy” (for obvious reasons). “The original team with Scruffy got so fed up with his attitude that they locked him in a cupboard under the stairs and all went to the local pub for a pint or two. When they were suitably refreshed they came back and let him out.” Besides paying rent while on the job, Evans recounted how an Asian paperboy was mistaken for a terrorist and nearly shot, and Rushdie charged them a corkage fee for opening wine bottles in the house.

The stars of Aaron Woolfolk’s first feature-length film, The Harimaya Bridge, convened in the upstairs office of the Bryant Mortuary on July 23 to discuss the final hours of their shoot in San Francisco. Japanese actress, Saki Takaoka, was quiet and bashful during the press conference as her co-stars, Danny Glover and Ben Guillory (The Color Purple) answered questions about her such as, “What kind of animal would she be?” When Takaoka finally had her answer, she admitted loving Lethal Weapon as a little girl, getting a huge thrill about working with Danny Glover and why Americans have to say everything they feel! ”

Nicole Scherzinger and The Pussycat Dolls are livid over reports that they personally kicked Britney Spears’ cameo (in their recent music video) to the curb over “jealousy.” “She came out, she did a cameo … We love her, we’re all huge fans of Britney, always have been,” Scherzinger told Access Hollywood. “Not everything makes the final cut, but we want to do something with her in the future.” Even though both bandmates, Melody Thornton and Jessica Sutta, vouched for the Cheetoh-binging pop queen … this smacks of the ol’ “have your people call my people” kiss-off.

Mark Wahlberg wants David and Victoria Beckham to leave Los Angeles, even if Kate Beckinsale insists that the Beckams are just normal and “a hoot” to hang out with. The Boogie Nights actor is sick of the Papp love, and want some privacy. Wahlberg admits never having met the Beckams, “but that f***er lives down the road from me, man! He has to go back to the UK, because he has the paparazzi all over my house. I was in the UK for the last week and they don’t want him back there. They said, ‘Keep him over there!’ ” So much for family values!

We know 50 Cent is a pretty passionate guy — I mean, the dude’s house was burned down! But, when it comes to friends, he’s just as hot: 50 Cent treated Val Kilmer to a $100,000 1965 Chevy Impala after they became friends shooting Streets of Blood in Louisiana. They both adore vintage cars, according to In Touch Weekly. “Val was shocked. 50 is an amazing guy and incredibly generous,” said 50 Cent’s producing partner Randall Emmett.

Scottish artist KT Tunstall thinks that Oasis‘ Noel Gallagher is an a** … but so does the rest of the world. The only difference is that, this time, Tunstall came to the aid of Gallagher’s recent nasty remarks about Jay-Z’s inclusion in a traditionally rock music festival. “People need to get a f*****g grip - Jay-Z is one of the biggest stars in the world. Of course he should be headlining,” she told Britain’s Daily Star of the June 28th event. “Glastonbury is about diversity and introducing new people to stuff they maybe haven’t seen before. It’s prejudice against hip-hop. So does that mean we should get rid of the world music and dance stages?” Tunstall also called out that nobody cared when Kylie Minogue, clearly NOT rock n’ roll, was included on the roster. Gallagher just got PWND.

Oh, Sharon Stone … Word has it that the back-tracking actress has been dropped by a Chinese film, Mermaid Island, largely in part to her insensitive comments recorded at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. Stones had indicated that the recent earthquake in Sichuan Province was “karmic,” and that it was done in retribution to the nation’s political stance against Tibetan independence. Although Stone admitted that she was pretty stupid and a victim of “news sensationalism,” it’s not going to bring back her contract with the film or Dior anytime soon.

Britney Spears: she’s only MILF who still made it to Maxim magazine’s Hot 100 list while apparently subsisting on a diet of Cheetohs and Frapps, while mistaking tunic tops for sundresses. Nevertheless, the “Gimme More” singer is reprising her fame via The Pussycat Dolls, and was spotted in Burbank on the set of their newest music video on June 4. Nicole Scherzinger and Carmit Bachar, the only two Asian American members of The Pussycat Dolls, made both the Maxim Hot 100 list as well as FHM magazine’s Top 100 Sexiest Women. Maybe Spears just wants to be sexy by association? Keep it classy, L.A.

MTV is rolling out the newest line of reality TV focused on insecure wannabe celebrities in search of an entourage, because buying friendship is too expensive and paying for a male escort will get you on the front page of Star magazine. The Hills‘ star, Brody Jenner, and Ryan Seacrest are banking on Bromance – which has a lot of Hollywood insiders snickering about Seacrest’s dubious sexual orientation, and others crying foul over the Entourage-esque storyline. Contestants will be expected to go skydiving, play wingman at night clubs, group date at Spago, and spend lots of “alone time” with Jenner … that is, when he’s not fleeing the Papps. Did I mention the “Hot Tub elimination ceremony”. If anything else could be more wet, hot, and in spandex, it’d get its own float in the Gay Pride Parade.
