Sometimes you have to wonder why celebrities bother to hire help, as they are constantly getting sued by their former employees. The latest comes from Sharon Stone's nanny, who was hired to help Stone with her three sons. The nanny, Erlinda Elemen, started out as the "backup nanny" and then was promoted to the "head nanny." Wow, can you believe celeb moms have a backup and head nanny? Must be great to have all of that help. Except the help has a way of turning around and suing -- at least if you're famous.

Anyway, Elemen is claiming that Stone treated her like garbage, basically. Let's go down the list of bizarre complaints the nanny has ...

Tonight on the finale of American Idol, there was a moment almost bigger than the announcement of the winner. After showing alums Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo in the audience, Ryan Seacrest called the couple up onto stage. First there was a bit of small talk, then the lights were dimmed, and Ace said he had a question to ask her.

It was pretty obvious what was happening, but still, hearts were pounding, and she looked nervous. Ace started making a beautiful case as to why they were meant to be together. "We have conquered Broadway together, we have created new music together, we have an amazing group of people around us and ..."

And then he kind of ruined the whole thing.

Have you heard the latest rumor about Kim Kardashian? Supposedly she's on drugs! An unnamed source says sweet sis Khloe is furious over Kim taking Valium and sleeping pills. "Khloe's really freaked out by it: She found a bottle of pills and knew straight away what Kim was doing."

The unnamed "insider" went on to say that "tough love" Khloe has given Kim an ultimatum: Kick the pills in three weeks or she'll tell the Momager and Kanye. Like Kris isn't already poring over every Kardashian mention in the tabloids.

Riiight. What's that I smell? Ah yes, the overwhelming stench of horsepucky. This story has so many layers of baloney I can't even count them all.

OMG, y'all. You'll never guess what kids at a Mississippi school had to see this week! A sixth grader waltzed into school wearing a t-shirt that showed off the United States Marine Corps' bulldog's butt right down to his (barely there) dangling doggy genitalia.

Thank goodness the school administrators came a-running to protect those wee ones and their eyes. They told 13-year-old Jordan Griffith he needed to take the shirt his big brother gave him and turn it inside out. Because we can't just have little kids seeing something they can see in nature on a kid's t-shirt, can we?

Oh ... wait.

Halle Berry is on the warpath against the paparazzi.

This is no "those jerks took pictures of my nip-slip" feud. Nope. The Oscar-winner is pissed about all the photos taken of her 4-year-old Nahla. She recently complained to Access Hollywood:

Nahla was just in a magazine and they said, what does she -- and I think Gwen Stefani’s kid -- have in common? They were both nose pickers, and I thought, "You know we are stooping to a new low when we prop up our children and exploit them like this." And people can’t wait to open up a magazine and see what 4-year-olds are wearing. There is something wrong, fundamentally wrong, with that.

No Halle ... that is fundamentally funny. And, whether you like it or not, it's the kind of stuff your fans want to see.

Lori "Lolo" Jones is an Olympic athlete whose speed is often unsurpassed on the track, but in the bedroom, she is apparently all about slowing it down. The 29-year-old told Bryant Gumbel on Real Sports that she is a virgin.

As Gawker said, the woman is smoking hot, so it's weird. But it's more than that, too. As an Olympic athlete, she sets an example for girls. So when she says that the hardest thing she has ever done in her life is to withhold sex, it isn't a great example for our girls. Additionally, why are we even discussing this? Why is a 29-year-old woman's sexual status even up for discussion?

I get that there are religious people who want to "save" sex for marriage. Like Jessica Simpson. See how well that worked out? But why do we have to hear about it?

Don't you hate it when you're at the organic food co-op, with your eco-friendly hemp tote, and you're loading up on radicchio, which you don't like but you heard was healthy, and someone sniffs over your merch and she's all, "Oh, you get the organic radicchio? Well, I get the quadruple organic radicchio grown by monks who take a vow of organic celibacy," and you're all, "Whatever!" And then she's like, "Oh, is that a mass-produced hemp tote? My hemp tote was hand-woven by farmers in Chile." And you're all, "Whatever again!" Well, apparently this stuff actually happens because a new study says that people who eat organic are more likely to have holier-than-thou complexes and be more judgmental.

Twitter has killed off a long list of still-alive celebrities. Robin Williams is the latest to join RIP'd celebs like Justin Bieber, Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Axl Rose. It seems to have started when some fans confused Bee Gees member Robin Gibb, who really did pass away, with Williams, and began tweeting about his death. Seriously, people? Those two have one thing in common: Their first name. Other than that, it was Williams who scored Saturday Night Fever and Gibb who starred in Mrs. Doubtfire. No, wait. It was the other way around. I think.

Trending on Twitter after your actual death has become a sign of respect and popularity. But trending before it also has its own appeal.
