While Tyra Banks promotes the inclusion of the first transgender contestant on the upcoming season of “America’s Next Top Model,” former judge Janice Dickinson says she’s been there, done that. The self-proclaimed “world’s first supermodel” told New York magazine she broke that ground on her Oxygen show “Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency.”

“I did it on my show first with Claudia (Charriez),” the 53-year-old said. “But you know what? There’s not going to be a moment where Tyra’s not going to knock me off, so I’m not bothered by her.”

Well, maybe she’s a little bothered. Seems Janice thinks her former “Top Model” boss owes her some gratitude.

“I (never got) a note or call (from Tyra) thanking me for helping to put her show on the map,” Janice complained. “Whatever. She’s not my favorite person.”

I don’t really know what to say about this, except to say that DeAnna Pappas has one hell of an ass. Check out these bikini pictures of her and the douchebag in the lame swim trunks. That’s one round, voluptuous piece of ass right there.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad, Michael, should be celebrating his pre-engagement bliss, but instead he’s worrying about his oldest daughter, Lindsay.

“I’ve been up and down the road (in discussions) with my ex-wife (Dina) and it’s to the point now that I’m going to confront Samantha and Jenny Muro (Lindsay’s production assistant) myself,” Michael says of why he is speaking out.

What has stirred Lohan’s ire? He feels Lindsay is drinking again and her partner, Samantha Ronson, is to blame.

“Samantha drinks and passes the drinks under the table to Lindsay, and behind the scenes it gets worse and worse,” says Lohan. “Sam is using my daughter. My daughter isn’t working because she’s always with Sam. Even my ex-wife knows it. She just isn’t doing anything about it.”

Lohan hasn’t yet decided how he’ll proceed with handling the situation, but he has begun taking responsibility in his own life.

A rep for Lindsay says, “This is totally a lie and untrue.”

He says he’s been in contact with Kristi Kaufman, who made the claim that Michael fathered her daughter some 13 years ago. “Kristi Kaufman has been called and we have agreed to go through a mutual lab (for a paternity test) over the next 30 days,” says Lohan.

He also chimed in on another scandal, that of John Edwards. “The only advice I can give anyone (in his situation) is be upfront, be honest and we have to try our best never to make the same mistakes again.”

WE know how Matthew McConaughey learned to be so open about his sex life - from his mom, Kay McConaughey. In Kay’s new book, “I Amaze Myself,” she talks about some pretty personal stuff, including how her husband, Matthew’s father, died while she was having sex with him. “On Monday mornings, he and I often said goodbye by making love,” Kay, 78, told Us magazine. “One day, all of a sudden, it just happened. I knew that something was wrong, because I didn’t hear anything from him. Just nothing. But it was just the best way to go!”

Perhaps it’s a case of too much baby lifting, because new dad Keith Urban has been diagnosed with a slipped disc, his publicist, Paul Freundlich, confirms to PEOPLE.

The rep wouldn’t comment on what caused the injury, but says it won’t affect the singer’s touring schedule.

Urban, 40, mentioned the setback to fans at a concert Saturday night at the Konocti Harbor Resort & Spa in Kelseyville, Calif., but, according to CMT.com, he went on to deliver an enthusiastic performance.

The singer has been dividing his time between Australia – where he, wife Nicole Kidman and their 7-week old daughter, Sunday Rose, have been visiting family – and his North American tour dates.

Next up is a headliner slot at this weekend’s Country Rocks Festival in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to be followed by a Sept. 5 appearance in New York City’s Columbus Circle for the NFL’s Kickoff Show.

Luckily for Vanessa Minnillo, life doesn’t always imitate art.

Case in point? In Disaster Movie, hitting theaters Friday, Minnillo’s cheerleader character just can’t get her boyfriend to say “I love you.”

“He just can’t drop the L-word,” Minnillo, 27, tells PEOPLE of her character’s commitment-challenged boyfriend. “And what a girl wants more than anything in the world is for their boyfriend to say ‘I love you.’ ”

But, says Minnillo, her real-life beau Nick Lachey, 34, doesn’t have any similar hang-ups: “The L-word is not thrown around by men as easily as it is by women – but I didn’t say it first! He’s very loving. We’re very open and vocal.”

While Minnillo and Lachey may be in sync when it comes to their love for each other, their attempt to exercise together is not so harmonious.

“We used to work out together, but we stopped,” says Minnillo, laughing. “We’re doing different things. And the guy runs forever! Like, I swear, he’s running 11 miles a day. I can’t run. That’s the one thing I can’t do, because I feel like the further I jog away from my house, the further I have to jog back!”

Could Whitney have left the People’s Revolution, the PR firm she works for on the show?

Amidst rumors that Whitney may be getting her own spin-off, a source at Diane von Furstenberg confirms to OTR that the reality “star” (we use the term “star” loosely) started working for the clothing designer yesterday.

The Hills’ least dramatic lady has begun interning in the PR department at Diane von Furstenberg. Meanwhile MTV has been busy filming at the company’s offices this week. Not only that, but the designer hired Whitney’s friend as well… suspicious. Sounds like a set-up.

If all goes well (meaning high ratings of course), MTV may be giving Port her own show next year. Could she be bidding farewell to California and hello to the Big Apple permanently?

Watch out NYU students, MTV may be coming to town and bringing with it spoiled, whiny drama queens.

Not that you’d notice a few more.

RICKY MARTIN’s baby news hasn’t been well received by everyone - one leading Latino Catholic cardinal has slammed the pop star for acting without dignity.

The Puerto Rican singer recently fathered twin boys, born to a surrogate mother, who is rumoured to be a cousin of the singer.

And, following on from congratulations from his pop peers, those who aren’t happy about Martin’s new paternal role are speaking out now.
The cardinal of Honduras, Oscar Andres Rodriguez, accuses the singer of going against human dignity.

On a visit to Chile, the Catholic leader said, “What Martin did diminishes the dignity of a human being. You can’t just buy or rent life. It’s even worse when someone famous and in the public eye is doing it.”

And he isn’t alone - Mexican talk show host Esteban Arce has also spoken out against Martin.

On his show Matutino Express, Arce said, “I don’t think it’s right to deny children of maternal figures, just because you have a big ego.”

And now she is bringing Benji Madden into the pathetic fray that is her singing into a microphone. How lame is this crap? And does anyone actually care?

Hollyscoop says, Paris had recently blogged about working on a new album, but we wanted to know if her rocker beau Benji Madden would be making a cameo in it.
Paris said, “Well, actually I have a studio at the house. He [Benji] actually helped me write some of the songs for my new album, and for the BFF show. He’s a really amazing talent, songwriter and singer.”
So will there be a duet? Paris said, “Yes, definitely. When the show comes out.”
