Mr. Colbert, j'accuse!
Comedy Central fake talk-show host
Stephen Colbert
, whose
The Colbert Report
has been hyped as the very salvation of political satire, has been accused by Air America radio host
Cenk Uygur
of joke pilfering.
In a video he posted on YouTube, Uygur, who jockeys the morning show The Young Turks, compares a joke he says he told Sept. 7 with one Colbert told on his show four days later.
And the joke? It makes the assertion that Republican presidential aspirants sound like Klingons (from Star Trek) when they bloviate about honor and valor and so forth.
A rep indicated Colbert - who, face it, is just a Jon Stewart wannabe - may address the issue on his show.
Could the fracas be a gag by Colbert, who often stages fake feuds a la Andy Kaufman? Sure.
A valet's take on Sinatra

Mr. S: My Life With Frank Sinatra
by
Ol' Blue Eyes

George Jacobs

Boxer trades boxers for panties?
Celeb site X17online.com, which is rich with paparazzi pics, on Wednesday posted six photos of a dude in drag (fishnets, heels, girlie undies, wig) that it claimed showed boxing hero
Oscar De La Hoya
.
"[The photos] are not real," De La Hoya's rep Debbie Caplan tells the N.Y. Daily News. She said the pics were doctored. "His head's too small and it doesn't even look like his body."
A surfeit of surgery?
Why did weirdchick hottie-to-die-for
Rose McGowan
lose out to petite weirdchick cutie
Christina Ricci
for a starring role in
the Wachowski brothers
' next epic, a feature based on that glorious old cartoon
Speed Racer
?
The N.Y. Daily News says Rose has gone surgery-happy and altered her face - that McGowan face the brothers so loved - way too much.
The 34-year-old actress admits only to having plastic surgery to fix an injured eye. But her rep says, "She was not pursuing this role."
Ricci will star opposite Emile Hirsch, who replaces another early casting choice, Zac Efron.

Enough already, Griffin!
"Enough is enough." So said a full-page ad in USA Today Monday directed at comic
Kathy Griffin
. In its report, USA Today said the ad, which cost $90,440, was taken out by members of the Miracle Theater, a Christian theater troupe from Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
The thesps say they were shocked and appalled by Griffin's speech Sunday at the Emmy Awards. When she accepted her Emmy for My Life on the D-List, Griffin said "a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award.
"I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." And, after making an off-color remark about Christ, she also said, "This award is my god now!"
"We at the Miracle Theater consider it an honor to stand for Jesus today," the ad said.
"We may never be household names. We may never be seen in Hollywood. Although others may choose to use their national platform to slander our God, we are honored as professional entertainers to stand for Christ."
Griffin has yet to respond.
Britney report
So what's a sensible girl to do after a judge dubs her a "habitual" boozer and drug user and decrees she take random drug and booze tests?
Why, she oughta party down, dude!
Hours after getting a dressing down by Judge Scott Gordon in her custody case against Kevin Federline, Britney Spears was seen partying at various Hollywood hot spots. An anon source tells People that Brit and Avril Lavigne kept doing shots, while the New York Post can't confirm any alcohol was consumed. According to Gordon's orders, Brit must be sober at least 12 hours before going anywhere near her brood.
