JESSICA Alba knows the trauma of developing a big chest at an early age - she says she was labeled a sixth-grade slut by her elementary school principal and a couple of "self-righteous" PTA moms.

"The accusation still ricochets . . . They think I'm a slut?," Alba recalls in "If I'd Known Then," Ellyn Spragins' upcoming book of essays by female celebrities.

Alba adds: "Boys are awful. They are made of nothing but hormones until they're about 20 or 21 . . . It's fun to have a crush, but don't think it's forever . . . And use birth control and condoms, please."

Kate Hudson would need to have three feet if you believe she's been playing footsie with all her rumored beaus.

Her infatuation with Justin Timberlake is such that she has been "texting him nonstop," a source tells me.

Separately, photos show that she is friends again with former beau Owen Wilson. The two have visited at each other's houses a couple of times since the weekend.

Comedian and actress Rosie O’Donnell wants to return to television in a sitcom about three best friends that would co-star “The Nanny’s” Fran Drescher.

Nine months after her abrupt departure from the daytime talk show “The View,” O’Donnell said on her blog that she had teamed with Drescher on the project, which is still in the early stages.

“Now, Fran and I have a new sitcom, but we can’t talk about it, right?” O’Donnell said at the end of a 13-minute video entry with Drescher, posted on rosie.com on Feb. 22.

“We’re going to do a new, fun, happy, family comedy,” Drescher said.

“She and I!” O’Donnell exclaimed with a grin.

The nascent project is apparently still being developed.

“It’s way too premature” to discuss, said Cindi Berger, a spokeswoman for O’Donnell.

But the comedian wrote on her blog that the sitcom was the brainchild of Drescher and her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, who served as executive producer of “The Nanny.” She said it would be taped in front of a live studio audience in New York.

Fans of O’Donnell reacted excitedly to the news.

“Ro, Is it true you & Fran are going to do a sitcom or are you just teasing us?” one wrote.

“true,” O’Donnell responded.

“omg… you and fran are going to be the new lucy and ethel! i am about to bust at the thought of it,” another wrote, prompting O’Donnell to write: “honey SIGN ME UP.”

After leaving “The View,” O’Donnell came out with a memoir, “Celebrity Detox,” and did a guest stint on FX’s “Nip/Tuck.” She expressed interest in returning to television full time, talking up her desire to host the game show “The Price Is Right,” a gig that ultimately went to Drew Carey. Last fall, O’Donnell was in preliminary talks with MSNBC to host a nightly talk show on the cable news network, but those discussions fizzled.

Jessica Simpson will join rock act Disturbed and comedian Carlos Mencia in Kuwait during a concert for U.S troops next month. The event, to be held March 10, is set to be broadcast live on the social networking site MySpace.com.

"It's truly an honor to perform for the troops," Simpson said in a statement. "Through Operation MySpace, I get to serve my country by doing what I love to do in front of thousands of brave men in uniform. It's every girl's dream!"

Other acts are expected to be added to the bill, which also includes Filter and DJ Z-Trip.

"For years troops stationed all over the world have utilized MySpace as a lifeline to communicate with their loved ones back home," said MySpace's co-founder, Tom Anderson. "Many of them have been generous enough to share their unique experiences with me through messages on MySpace. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to thank them in person and bring along the entire MySpace community."

An abbreviated version of the concert is set to air April 12 on the cable network FX.

It is hard to imagine Reese Witherspoon, one of Hollywood's sweetest yet sexiest stars, ever even having an ugly day, let alone enduring years of taunting for her physical "differences."

But it turns out the leading lady (and producer) of the new fairy-tale flick "Penelope" has had her fair share of ugly years.

"I was actually teased quite a bit growing up," Witherspoon told Pop Tarts at the Hollywood premiere of "Penelope" last week. "I was a four-eyed square with glasses and I was picked on because of my weird, short-person walk."

But even despite the stress of the spotlight, the Oscar-winning mother-of-two has learned to love those "flaws."

"At the end of the day, you just have to accept what you have been given and appreciate the flaws," Reese said. "You can't get too down on it."

So many people ask me, "What’s wrong with Michael Jackson? How did he get into this terrible situation?" His beloved home, the 2,900-acre Neverland Ranch, is about to be auctioned off in public, with all his possessions in it, on March 19 outside the Santa Barbara County Courthouse.

And, no, this is one foreclosure the federal government is not going to bail out.

Not only that: after a big debut week for the 25th anniversary edition of "Thriller" with 166,000 copies sold. But in its second week, the updated "Thriller" dropped 65 percent and sold just 55,000 copies, according to hitsdailydouble.com.

The bigger question is: What happened to all those Michael Jackson fans? Where are the legions of devoted fanatics who write to me, who consider themselves Jackson’s best friends? Where are they?

The fact is, if Jackson can’t sell more than 200,000 copies of a special edition "Thriller" in two weeks, he’s not going to be selling so many concert tickets after all.

And that may be an essential part of the equation as Jackson’s lawyer, Peter Lopez, makes a last-ditch attempt to refinance the $24.5 million loan needed to keep Neverland. Jackson is already leveraged to the hilt. He has assets on paper, but he doesn’t work. He doesn’t tour, and he’s not releasing records. Why would anyone in this economy lend him any more money?

One of Jackson’s biggest problems is that he won’t return to remunerative work. I told you two weeks ago that he recently was offered a great gig: 10 shows minimum, 30 max, at $1 million apiece to perform the "Thriller" album at London’s Millennium Dome. It was a solid offer from AEG Live. But he wouldn’t do it.

He also wouldn’t appear at the Grammys. He also refused to pitch in on "Thriller" publicity — most of it was done by producer Quincy Jones. It seems no one has ever told Jackson the old adage that 99 percent of life is just about showing up.

Working isn’t always fun, but it can be done. Say what you will about Michael’s sister, Janet, but she keeps going, making money. She’s made three albums in four years, tours constantly and knows how to play the game. Unlike Michael, Janet understands that she’s not entitled to anything. She goes out and gets what she wants and needs. Maybe Michael should take a lesson from his little sister.

Still a little unclear is what’s left in the Neverland main house. Now that the foreclosure is in place, Jackson may not have access to a lot of his possessions. If the property is auctioned "as is," the new owner may find himself with a treasure trove of highly collectible artifacts.

The tormented singer, 24, who only last month spent two weeks in rehab, has returned to her old habits after telling chums: “I can’t go on.”

Amy — whose husband is in jail — is taking cocaine, ecstasy, cannabis and booze to dull her emotional pain, according to friends. They shockingly revealed:

She got a reluctant pal to smuggle drugs into the London rehab clinic on her FIRST NIGHT there.

Was “clean” for less than TEN days — in her failed bid to pass a drugs test to get a US visa to attend the Grammy Awards.

FEARS that without drugs she is just a ZOMBIE.

One horrified friend told how last week Amy deliberately burnt her hand with a lighter, screaming: “My life is a shell of what it was.

“People talk to me and I just zone out. It’s like the whole world is now stillborn. Colours aren’t as bright, love doesn’t feel real. I don’t know who I am and I just feel numb.”

The pal added: “We were sat around the table when she held a lighter over her hand and let the flame scar her skin.

“Amy has been up and down in a way she never was before. One minute she’ll be fine, the next she’ll be in a heap on the floor, screaming she can’t go on. She feels that rehab is turning her into some sort of zombie with no emotion.”

Another friend said: “On the first night in rehab she begged a friend to take her in some drugs.

After that she did not take anything for a week to ten days. But that was just about trying to get her to the Grammys. Now we’re back to the dangerous levels of before.”

The revelations follow Amy’s twitchy and erratic performance at the Brits.

Her hubby BLAKE FIELDER-CIVIL, 25, is awaiting court over trial fixing allegations.

Amy — who wears a locket with his photo — is said to have be obsessed with JOHNNY CASH’s version of the haunting Nine Inch Nails track Hurt.

The first line is: “I hurt myself today, to see if I could feel.” A pal said: “It terrifies the rest of us.”

Jenny Mccarthy: 'Carrey And I Won't Wed Or Have Kids'....

Former Playboy pin-up Jenny McCarthy has ruled out marriage to boyfriend Jim Carrey because she's convinced their love will last forever without the need for a wedding ceremony.

The model/actress insists that living together is enough for both stars, who have been married before, and she's tiring of wedding and children questions.

In an effort to end the media speculation about where the romance is going, McCarthy tells America's In Touch Weekly magazine, "We're living together... and we're very happy - all that's (marriage) going to be is a piece of paper, really.

"What is it a guarantee of? I'll be yours forever? I'll be faithful? Bull! "He (Carrey) is the light of my life and we're more in love now than we have been in our entire relationship".

And the mother-of-one insists she doesn't want any more children: "This womb is closed".
