Poor Tina Douglas, mother and manager of Ashanti. Millions of fans are crazy for her daughter, and Tina can handle most of them. Except one guy, Devar Hurd, who got a lot crazier than the rest. He’s charged with aggravated harassment for sending Tina pictures of his penis, as well as long, creepy texts and voicemails about his obsession with Ashanti, who doesn’t even know him. Clearly Devar needs help, and he’s facing two years in prison, if convicted. [NY Daily News]

Lindsay Lohan continues to party nearly every night despite her apparent personal tragedies. But at least she’s making a mediocre effort to look as if nothing’s changed. [Hollywood, 12/18/09]

“My first reaction was, ‘You’re killing the mother of the show! You’re killing the woman who’s suffered more violence than anybody!’ She suffered more violence than Dexter ever suffered. Dexter witnessed the death of his mother, but he didn’t suffer any physical violence. Rita was beaten and raped by an ex-husband on a regular basis, and yet she still has this innocence and sweetness about her.”

—Actress Julie Benz on her initial reaction to finding out that Rita, the character she played on “Dexter,” would be killed off in the show’s season four finale, which aired last Sunday. [E! Online]

Could Betty White be any cooler? This year, she redeemed “The Proposal,” spoke out on Sarah Palin, and showed off her beer pong skillz. Last night, she appeared on the “Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson,” rockin’ a Santa suit. I can’t wait for her to get her Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Achievement Award next month.

The second season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” the drag queen competition show, is coming soon and because this promo shot is so genius, you can be sure we’ll be watching. It’s a perfect spoof of Sarah Palin’s Going Rogue. Sashay, shante.

Alex Rodriguez is amassing a pile of three-strikes-you’re-out puns after a report that he hit on an all-legs blonde at his favorite Miami restaurant, only to be ignored by her three times in a row. This is just days after his highly publicized split from Kate Hudson, and less than a year after his even more publicized divorce from wife Cynthia. [NY Daily News]

Now we know that as a talented, rich, good-looking man, A-Rod is totally entitled to keep on keeping on in the romance department. But he knows that the media is watching his every move, so you think he’d keep it under wraps for, oh, at least a week. After the jump, let’s take a look at some other celebrity men who show us how not to get back on the horse.

“I tried to lose my virginity when I was seven years old. I was on top of a girl who was nine or 10, but it didn’t happen—so everybody doesn’t have to bug out. My mother and the babysitter whipped my ass, but it didn’t knock me off my mission ... When I was 13, and I felt like I was a porno star because I’d been watching porn for so long ... I’m proud to say I love sex. You might catch me in a porn store at any given moment—it ain’t nothing I’m ashamed of. If they start sending freaks to jail, I’m guilty as charged.”

—Sean “Diddy” Combs tells Playboy about losing his virginity in the January/February issue. [PopEater]

If you’d asked me to guess which actress’s films grossed the most in the 2000s, my first thoughts would have been Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock or someone like that. Nope, that award would go to Emma Watson. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Emma, who has been working pretty steadily for nine years (nearly half of her life), is the highest-grossing actress of the decade. Good for her, I say, but honestly, this news really snuck up on me, even though a Forbes Magazine article placed Emma sixth on its list of the “10 Most Valuable Young Stars” earlier this year. Sure, she’s been in all six top box-office “Harry Potter” films, but somehow, it didn’t occur to me that Emma’s role as Hermione, along with her work in “The Tale of Despereaux,” had grossed $5.4 billion so far. In 2008, her films were said to have grossed nearly $754 million each, on average, beating Keira Knightley and the “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise.
