The legal dobermans for Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards were back in court Monday in L.A., tangling over money. Richards' lawyer, Neal Hersh, complained that Sheen hasn't provided an "updated list" of his assets, arguing that Richards may be entitled to a "very substantial" chunk of "certain entertainment contracts." Hersh wouldn't say whether he means Sheen's "Two and a Half Men" paycheck, but told The News' Nancy Dillon, "[Sheen] has to give us a final disclosure by law - and he hasn't." A lawyer for Sheen, who has been honeymooning with new bride Brooke Mueller, declined to comment outside court.
Hiss! Two of the five gals in Danity Kane got into a physical catfight before their Vegas show last week, according to sources. The group was 20 minutes late going on stage because of the alleged scrap.

A rep for the group insisted that there was no physical or verbal altercation.

"When I stuck my thumb out on Hampton Road, the first people that came along picked me up," says LaForce. "They were from France - they didn't know any better!"

But Dutch artist Jan Cremer, who says he knew Dylan at the time, claims he was actually getting sober at his manager's house in upstate New York. "[Bob] swallowed, sniffed or injected too much," Cremer writes in his most recent memoir. Dylan's rep had no comment. "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively and co-star/real-life boyfriend Penn Badgley need to get their story straight. While shopping for glasses frames at Robert Marc in SoHo, Lively denied her relationship with Badgley to a bystander, while Badgley confirmed the duo was dating mere moments later.
Diddy is returning to his original monicker, Puff Daddy, according to his cameo on O'Neal McKnight's new single, "Check Your Coat." "They call me Puff Daddy. ... He's back!" the Sean John CEO hollers. "Yeah, you heard me right - I said Puff Daddy." We give it a month.
The PC from the Apple commercials is really a Mac guy. "I play a PC only on television. I've used Macs since 1984," John Hodgman told us at the Johnny Walker Blue bottle-engraving party. "When I was a kid, I talked my dad into getting the very first Mac and I've been loyal to the brand ever since."
