Mario Lopez hosts competition for a boob job

Mario Lopez might want to be a little more choosy about the gigs he accepts.

Case in point: Last night’s Boobs or Bust 2/Go Big or Go Home party at Jet nightclub in Las Vegas. The former Dancing with the Stars contestant hosted the evening, which featured a contest for women competing to win $5,000 to help pay for breast augmentation surgery.

I kid you not.

Here’s how it worked. The club distributed preprinted "boob bucks" to bottle-service customers. Women hoping for new breasts had to convince said customers to hand over their bucks. The gal who collected the most scored the grand prize.

And what would a Sin City bash like this one be without entertainer Jeff Beacher? He was dressed as Santa Claus, while his mini Spice Girls (little people dressed as the recently reunited pop stars) performed “Wannabe.”

Lopez’s girlfriend and former Dancing partner, Karina Smirnoff, should be happy to know her hunky boyfriend was on his best behavior. Lopez made sure security kept overly eager gals hoping for his bucks at bay.

Johnny Depp: I don't want to be a product

To Johnny Depp, freedom means simplicity and anonymity.

"I'm sure it will be a possibility someday again. Maybe when I get old. They get tired of you," the actor tells Esquire magazine in its January issue, available Friday. "`Didn't you used to be Johnny Depp?' That will be the clincher."

The 44-year-old star of "Sweeney Todd," which opens Christmas Day, talked with the magazine about the lessons he's learned over his two decades in Hollywood.

His friend and mentor Marlon Brando taught Depp to keep his private life private.

"That's your world and it's nobody else's business," he recalls Brando saying. "It's not anybody's entertainment."

A self-described people-watcher, Depp says he's learned to enter restaurants through the kitchen and hotels through the parking garage.

"It'll definitely make you a little weird if you're constantly being stared at," he says.

While he loves his work, Depp says he's "not a great fan of all the stuff that goes along with it."

"I don't want to be a product," he says. "Of course you want the movies to do well. But I don't want to know ... who's hot now and who's not and who's making this much dough and who's boffing this woman or that one. I want to remain ignorant of all this. I want to be totally outside and far away from all of it."

Janice Dickinson under attack for calling Tyra Banks fat

Janice Dickinson is desperately back-tracking after calling retired catwalk favorite Tyra Banks "fat" on TV.

The two beauties clashed when Dickinson was a judge on Banks' 'America's Next Top Model' show, and the former was asked to leave.

Dickinson has maintained she wishes only the best for her former boss, but poked fun at Banks' body during a chat on US TV on Monday morning.

She said: "You want to see someone who's fat, I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat."

Her comments enraged Banks fans and led to a public outcry, prompting outspoken Dickinson to explain what she said on US news show Access Hollywood.

She says: "I was not criticising her, it's the truth. She's large. She admits herself that she is a fat blank, blank, blank, referring to her derriere.

"Ms Banks is a wonderful lady and this is a big brouhaha over nothing."

Tom Cruise joins Will Smith at Hollywood ceremony

Being immortalized in cement can be a nerve-racking experience, but Will Smith got a little help from his friends – in particular, Tom Cruise – at the Monday ceremony in his honor on Monday in the forecourt of Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theater.

Cruise arrived at the event, sans Katie and Suri, moments before Smith did, and was quickly embraced by Smith's family – his mother Caroline and his children Jaden and Willow. (His wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, was off directing a movie and could not attend.)

"Just tell me where you want me," Cruise told the clan. Willow, who is 7, replied excitedly, "Here!" – picking the seat between her and her grandmother.

Smith, 39, a two-time Oscar nominee, soon arrived and was feted by friends, family and fans. "This is absolutely an honor," he told the crowd. "I was sitting in the car and I was okay. Then I got here and I'm not as okay as I was."

Speaking about the power of the movies, Smith – whose latest is I am Legend – related a story that Nelson Mandela had told him about how the messages of racial equality from Hollywood films had inspired him in prison. "I want to do everything that I can do with my life in instructing my family and friends to make this world a better place," Smith said.

Smith chanted "T.C.!" repeatedly when Cruise was introduced, and they shared a chat and a laugh while Smith put his hand- and footprints in the cement.

Asked to reveal what Cruise, 45, had said to him, Smith told PEOPLE, "That's top secret. No, I'm kidding. He said, 'We've got to make a movie together!' "
