Anne Hathaway's private diaries have been seized by the FBI "as part of their ongoing investigation into 12 counts of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charged against her ex-boyfriend, Raffaello Follieri, 29." [Us, NYDN]

According to Star (so it must be true), Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura, 21, and P. Diddy Daddy, 38, are engaged.

"He told everyone to keep it extremely quiet because he didn't want it to get out, but you could tell he was excited," an disclosed source said to the mag. "Diddy said they hadn't set a date yet, but he wanted his family to hear the news first."

Diddy Daddy, allegedly, revealed his engagement at his son Justin's eighth-grade graduation ceremony in Riverdale, N.Y., on June 5.

His 10-year, off and on, relationship with model Kim Porter came to an end last July.

I'm pretty sure I don't believe this. But there you have it.

The Wendy Williams Show has been on TV for all of a week, and the claws are already coming out.

Today Omarosa Manigault-Stallworth, 34, was on to plug her new book the Bitch Switch (out in October), when, suddenly, the conversation devolved to Williams calling her "an angry black woman," later adding that she needed Restylane for the lines around her mouth. Snap! To be fair, Omarosa did say Williams, 44, had a sky-high weave, and asked if she had a nose job.

Williams denied it, saying Botox is the only thing she's had done to her face.

All of which is why you'd think this would have made for awkward interview, but these two women smoothly transitioned from one insult to the next, like seasoned pros.

And about that nose job, I think she might've. [Give me a minute to put together a before & after]

Yeah, so it turns out old pictures of Williams are rare. This is the best I could come up with.

Inconclusive.

Khloe Kardashian, 24, spent three hours in jail on Friday, a result of her DUI-related probation violation. She was sentenced to up to 30 days in jail, but we all knew that wasn't going to happen.

I can't believe this mean-old-lady is getting her own television talk show. FOX (of course) will begin airing it on Monday.

And I know this is old news, but I just saw it for the first time recently. [Clip Below]

Background: Back in 2006 Wendy Williams broke the news, on air, that Method Man's wife had cancer. Problem is, she wasn't supposed to. At the time not even his wife's family members knew she was sick. As a result, Method Man was, understandably pissed. [Understatement]

I didn't even know these two were dating. I like Emily Blunt, 25, (The Devil Wears Prada). By all accounts (I'm aware of) she's a good actress. (If you want to see lesbian action, watch her in My Summer Love.) And she had a cool feature in NYT Magazine. Michael Bubble, Bublé, 32, on the other hand, seems like an ass. I remember when he performed on American Idol, then asked if he could still vote for Antonella Barba, even though she'd already been eliminated. I guess he was dating Blunt at the time; since People says there were together for three years. Alright, I'll stop rambling.

Update: LaineyGossip has proof. Bublé's a d. bag.

Let me reiterate, I love newly launched Cityfile, a blog on the who's who of prominent New Yorkers. If for nothing else than for its Wikipedia-esque profiles on NYC scenesters; replete with photo galleries.

Where else are you going to find info. on headband-loving, socialite Arden Wohl; with an accompanying photo that says:

"These are the people who pay for Arden's headbands?"

It's revolting, yet satisfying.

Update: Well go figure. Wohl was arrested on Saturday for defacing a Ralph Lauren (born Ralph Lipschitz) storefront in East Hampton. How like a gang member of her. Apparently she marked her territory by scrawling "Ralphy Lip-shit" in lipstick. [NYP]

I think this means her street cred just went up.

Laurie's son Josh Waring, 19, from The Real Desperate Housewives of Orange County, was allegedly caught trying to sell ecstasy and heroin outside of a Comfort Inn motel in Laguna Beach, Calif. on Sunday night!!!!

Why'd you have to go and get a new, better, richer family Laurie? And why'd you make Josh go live with his grandma? Kinda kidding.

I got hooked on The Real Housewives after watching a marathon while on a flight to New York. It's terribly addictive. Good ol' Josh knows what that feels like.

He's facing two felony counts of possession and intent to sell both heroin and ecstasy, a misdemeanor count of unauthorized possession of a hypodermic needle and being under the influence of heroin -- also a misdemeanor, i.e. if convicted, he's doing some hard time in jail. [TMZ]

While I'm on the subject, I'm tired of media outlets using the terms "jail" and "prison" interchangeably. Prison is worse peeps.

Waring's still young enough to get his shit together. Let's hope he does.

Boo hoo. Hulk Hogan's son Nick Bollea, 17, wants out of solitary confinement. The teen was sentenced to eight months in a Florida jail a few weeks ago for felony reckless driving.

Bollea reportedly spends 16-to-17 hours a day by himself; and receives his meals through a slot in the door, which his attorney says "substantially amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for a juvenile and is not warranted for a non-violent first offender serving a probation sentence." Sorry Bollea there's nothing cruel or unusual about it. That's jail! Go figure.

What is cruel is the way you've been talking about your "friend" who you left in a vegetative state, and almost killed. My stomach felt weird when I read that shit. What's wrong with these people?!

His attorneys are now seeking a transfer to monitored home confinement or the minimum-security area.

"A multimillion-dollar Long Island home at the center of a dispute between Grammy-nominated rapper 50 Cent and his former girlfriend was destroyed by a suspicious fire early Friday."

The case has been referred to the arson squad "because of the intensity of the fire." [AP]

Cent, 32, reportedly promised the said former girlfriend, Shaniqua Tompkins, the $2.4 million house 10 years ago. But now, because they have broken-up, he allegedly wants to evict her and their 10-year-old son

Cent was not in the house at the time of the fire. But his son and Tomkins were, along with four other people. All went to the hospital for smoke inhalation.

For more details check out this AP article.

Update: Tomkins is claiming the fire was an attempted murder attempt committed by Fiddy. She's says "He's obsessed. If he can't have me no one can." [TMZ]

But 50 Cent's lawyer Brett Kimmel released the following statement: "Any suggestion that Mr. Jackson [Fiddy's real last name] had anything whatsoever to do with the fire at his home is outrageous and offensive." [TMZ]
