EVA Longoria Parker put her mouth where the money is at the first annual Lingerie Miami, a charity event that benefits global microfinance organizations, at Vizcaya Garden in Miami.

The comely "Desperate Housewives" star, who co-hosted with model Veronica Webb, decided to auction off a kiss - for which one gentleman coughed up a cool $35,000. (Eva's husband, NBA star Tony Parker, was not in town.)

Others there included pop guru Deepak Chopra and models Elsa Benitez, Joanna Krupa and Ines Rivero.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Rihanna's injuries were severe -- two "huge contusions" which swelled up on both sides of her forehead. We're told she also suffered "a bloody lip and nose."

One of the law enforcement people put it this way -- the contusions "look like an MMA fighter or something ... [It] looked like she was growing devil's horns."

We've also heard that Rihanna may have suffered bite wounds on one of her legs and arms, however, one source close to the situation tells us he doubts that is the case.

Chris Brown has been booked on a felony criminal threats charge. If the D.A. files the case, domestic violence charges could be added.

Tiger Woods welcomed his second child, a son, on Sunday.

"Elin and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our son, Charlie Axel Woods," the golfer, 33, wrote on his Web site. "Both Charlie and Elin are doing great...Sam is very excited to be a big sister and we feel truly blessed to have such a wonderful family."

Woods was due to compete at Torrey Pines in the final round of the Buick, which he's won six times -- but said last week that he'd skip the competition -- the first time he's missed it in 11 years -- if his wife went into labor.

Woods and Elin Nordegren are already parents to daughter Sam Alexis, who was born on June 19, 2007 -- the day after he came in second at the U.S. Open.

Heath Ledger's flawless acting, and tragic passing, immortalized his portrayal of the Joker in Christopher Nolan's Batman blockbuster The Dark Knight. But should Ledger's killer clown be the last Joker to grace the big screen?

That's what the fanboys over at a new site called The Ultimate Joker are arguing. They've launched a petition calling for studios to withdraw the character for good from any future Batman movies, a somewhat strange request given all the actors who have stepped into the Joker's murderous shoes on screens large and small.

"We truly believe Ledger's performance as Joker is the best an actor could ever do," the site's team leader, Fer Barbella, told Wired.com in an e-mail interview.

"Any other performance will be below expectations for sure, so we want to forever keep Ledger's Joker as the one," added Barbella, who launched The Ultimate Joker site last week with his colleague Nico Pimentel.

From Jack Nicholson and Cesar Romero to Larry Storch, Mark Hamill and the underrated Kevin Michael Richardson, Batman's nemesis has been brought to life by some serious talent. Banning Joker from the silver screen might seem like an unreasonable request on its garish face, but the team at The Ultimate Joker is standing by it, and no doubt will be aided if Ledger takes home a posthumous Oscar later this month for his portrayal.

In addition to the online petition, The Ultimate Joker site operators have fired up an Ultimate Joker Flickr pool and posted downloadable web graphics to let others show their support.

Barbella says his crew is only interested in film portrayals, though.

"Television and animation is off our radar," he says. "And we like Jokers like Cesar Romero or Jack Nicholson, and even the voice of Mark Hamill. But we think this psycho in scarred whiteface is the best ever. No one can improve it. So please, Hollywood, use other enemies in the sequels to come."

It is perhaps a plea that Hollywood will ignore in pursuit of profit. After all, the buzz created by the conundrum of who will follow in Ledger's footsteps could be worth hundreds of millions on its own.

But it's a fair question: Should Hollywood retire the Joker from film? Was Heath Ledger the greatest Joker of all time? Why so serious? Shoot us your thoughts in the comment section below.

Miley Cyrus has taken to her official fan site to issue a heartfelt apology for the racially offensive photograph she took with her friends.

In the picture, Miley is seen using her fingers to make her eyes slant, which is considered degrading to Asian people.

It is the 16 year old’s second apology following the advocate group OCA, a national organization dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Pacific Americans, releasing a statement saying the teen set "a terrible example for her many young fans" by "mocking and denigrating individuals of Asian descent."

On her official fan site, Miley writes: "I want to thank all of my fans for their support not only this week, but always! I really wanted to stress how sorry I am if the photo of me with my friends offended anyone. I have learned a valuable lesson from this and know that sometimes my actions can be unintentionally hurtful. I know everything is a part of GOD’s ultimate plan, and mistakes happen so that eventually I will become the woman he aspires me to be. Peace and love, Miles"

Miley first apologized for the picture, which surfaced on the web, last week but was criticized for not being genuine or quick enough in her response to the controversy.
