Kim Kardashian shifts the attention from her ass to her feet. Pink advocates "beat[ing] the crap outta kids." Brett Michaels denies boinking Miley's mom. Demi Lovato's dad bemoans Disney. The bigger Wednesday gossip gets, the harder it falls.

Kim Kardashian tripped and broke her toe. Then she tweeted, "I knew my clumsiness would catch up with me at some point! I tripped on a suit case on the floor and broke my toe :-(" Quick, to the paparazzi, for an instant replay of the spike-heeled, leopard-print Christian Louboutins she was wearing. [Fig. 1, above] The next morning, Our Lady of the Luscious Ass was forced to wear—gasp!—flat shoes. [Fig. 2, at right] This forced her sisters to wear flat shoes, too, lest Kim look short by comparison. [Fig. 3] Later, Kim tweeted that her toe was "an unusual shade of purple." This is not the first time that Kim's shoes have attempted podiatric assassination: Two weeks prior, a pair of peep-toe Louboutins cut her.

  • Pink supports spanking because it's what her parents did to her: "I think parents need to beat the crap outta their kids… I think the whole spanking thing and how it's gotten all PC is for the birds. My dad put me through a wall; it's the only reason I'm still alive. I deserved it. I would have kicked me out when I was eight." Cycle of abuse? [Dlisted]

  • More details on Disney teen Demi Lovato's trip to rehab: It all started with the "Demi Drama," a veritable Ring Cycle of "personal issues" involving cutting, bulimia, an airport catfight with a back-up dancer in Peru, and the fact that she was contractually obligated to tour with the Jonas Brothers even though Joe Jonas broke her heart and is always gallivanting around with new girlfriend and Twilight hottie Ashley Greene, right in front of her face! Apparently Demi "made verbal threats" to Ashley, too. [E!]
  • In an interview, Demi's dad explained, "There are a lot of pressures. That is one of the things I worried about when she signed with Disney." [Radar]

  • A paparazzo who used to be on Tila Tequila's payroll (so that's how she gets them to photograph her!) says she sent a hitman to kill him. Now she's suing him for defamation, but is it even possible to defame Tila's character, given how crappy is already is? [TMZ]
  • Britney Spears is seeking an order of protection from former bodyguard Fernando Flores, the one who said she sexually harassed him and that she had sex in front of her kids. [JJ]
