Even after Bad Brains confirmed the identity of an 18-year-old Brooke Shields in this photo, the actress' representative continues to deny that it's her.

Yesterday a photograph made the rounds on the internet purporting to show Bad Brains frontman H.R. and Brooke Shields sitting together on a couch, with Shields leaning over and lighting what appeared to be a marijuana pipe. Which would be amazing. A spokesperson for Shields quickly denied that it's her. But Bad Brains' management has issued a statement to Gawker claiming that the photo indeed shows H.R. and Shields getting high together in 1983.

She just can't forgive Tiger for sleeping with a porn actress. Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz reunited. Michael Jackson signs a deal from beyond the grave. Every New Yorker hates Brooke Shields. Tuesday's gossip is not taking it anymore.

Having spent New Year's Day drinking champagne with fabulous celebrities and sexing chestnut-haired Bates lacrosse players sitting on a sofa in Chicago watching TV, I saw a lot of commercials. Specifically ones with scary disclaimers. Like the Taco Bell diet.

• Things are heating up between Justin Timberlake and Rihanna. "Hot grinding sessions," "steamy private after-parties," "impromptu lap dances," and non-stop texting sessions have all been on the agenda in recent days, at least if you're buying what the Star's "sources" are selling. [Star]
• Madonna will do anything for the young Brazilian man in her life, Jesus Luz. And if that means taking him to the downtown gay bar Easternbloc so he can "get some DJ experience in her old hood," well, then so be it. [P6]
• Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman's play, A Steady Rain, has set a record for the "highest weekly sales of a non-musical play." We're guessing their good looks, not just their acting talent, may have something to do with that. [Reuters]

Kiefer Sutherland, can drink with an clear conscious tonight after assault charges that stemmed from headbutting a fashion designer have been dropped. And we were hoping to be spared another mediocre season of 24 while he was in the slammer.
