After dumping Jessica the day before, Tony Romo was in a good mood. “Tony was in a really great mood and toasting his new bachelorhood. And at one point, four hot women came over to his table and were pouring shots of vodka in his mouth,” an eyewitness tells Star. “He looked like he was on the prowl.”

Tony caught a cougar later that night, hooking up with 43-year-old actress Michelle Johnson at a gathering she threw in the penthouse of the Sunset Marquis Hotel. He arrived around 2 a.m., and “from the moment he got there, he was all her,” says a partygoer. “They were kissing and she sat in his lap.”

In the wee hours of July 10, he made out with actress Michelle Johnson (Melrose Place, Tales From the Crypt), ex-wife of former baseball star Matt Williams, at a party at LA’s Sunset Marquis hotel!

As for the reasons behind the Jessica Simpson split: “Tony had been telling pals for months that Jessica was always nagging him about getting married,” says an insider. “Also, she was upset that he didn’t have concrete plans for her birthday. She wanted to go on a tropical vacation, but Tony wasn’t into it.. Jess was acting like a child about it, and that was the last straw.”

Another source says: “Nick Lachey still carries a torch for Jessica. He’s been texting her a lot lately and said that they should get together…and she’s always had lingering feeling for him.”

Singer Amy Winehouse ended her two-year marriage to Blake Fielder-Civil when the couple were granted a divorce at a hearing in London on Thursday.

Neither Winehouse, 25, nor Fielder-Civil, 27, were present for the brief proceedings at the High Court’s family division, the Press Association reported.

The couple married in Miami in May 2007, but since then Winehouse has been treated for drug addiction and Fielder-Civil has spent time in prison.

He was jailed after admitting beating up a pub landlord in 2006 and conspiring to cover up the crime.

Winehouse won five of the recording industry’s prestigious Grammy awards in 2008.

Fielder-Civil started divorce proceedings in January.

“We responded to her home last night on a medical issue,” Officer April Harding tells Us. “We assisted with it. She was removed from her home.” Harding tells Us no 911 call was received, and that she was not sure if Barton, 23, was in distress. When asked if the actress was cooperative, she tells Us: “I guess.”

Harding did not release details on where Barton was taken, citing California privacy laws. A source tells Us Barton called the police herself after having a “freak out.”

The actress — best known for her role on The O.C. — was charged in 2008 with DUI and marijuana possession. She was sentenced to 36 months probation, told to attend alcohol education classes and pay a fine.

Barton checked into rehab after the incident, she said, because “I wanted to prove to the court that I would take it completely seriously. “I went to rehab to prove I was sober,” continued Barton in an interview with UK Marie Claire.

She’s set to star in Beautiful Life, premiering this fall on the CW.

Us Weekly magazine has obtained video it says shows never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson’s head catching on fire during filming of his 1984 Pepsi commercial.

Jackson suffered severe burns after a pyrotechnics mishap caused his hair and scalp to catch afire. Still photos of the accident have been seen before, but the new video on Us Weekly’s Web site shows the moment Jackson’s hair caught on fire and the top of his head became engulfed in flames.

Jackson didn’t realize his hair was on fire. In the video, he’s still dancing as the flames are on his head. When he spins, the flames go out. People on the set tackle him to extinguish the fire, and his brother Jermaine Jackson, playing the guitar in front of him and oblivious to the commotion, turns around. When Michael Jackson emerges from the pile of people trying to help him, the top of his head is bald.

The accident, witnessed by thousands of stunned fans at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, came at the height of Jackson’s fame, about a year after the release of his best-selling “Thriller” album. It marked what would be the beginning of serious, lifelong pain for Jackson, who had been treated for painkiller addiction and has been described by relatives and friends as being hooked on pain medication at the time of his death last month at age 50.

Jackson, who was photographed in an ambulance with a bandage on his head and his trademark sequined white glove on his right hand, required several surgeries and needed skin grafts to treat the injury.

In his autobiography, “Moonwalk,” he described the cause of the accident as “stupidity, pure and simple.”

As he described the accident, he wrote: “… bombs went off on either side of my head, and the sparks set my hair on fire. I was dancing down this ramp and turning around, spinning, not knowing I was on fire. Suddenly I felt my hands reflexively go to my head in an attempt to smother the flames.”

As a result of the accident, Pepsi gave Jackson $1.5 million, which he donated to a burn center named after him.

A representative for Us Weekly had no immediate comment on where the video came from.

An attorney for Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe on Tuesday angrily denied reports that she had agreed to take millions of dollars to give up parental rights to her two children with the King of Pop.

In a letter to the New York Post, attorney Eric George said that Rowe, who was married to Michael Jackson from 1996 to 1999 and is the mother of his two oldest children, “has not and will not” give up her parental rights.

Nor will Rowe, whose attorneys have been in talks with lawyers for Michael Jackson’s parents, Katherine and Joe, take any money beyond the spousal support to which she and the singer agreed upon years ago, George’s letter states.

In a 2002 will signed by Michael Jackson, he said he had “intentionally omitted” to provide for Rowe.

The New York Post reported on Tuesday that Rowe had agreed to take about $4 million to give up her parental rights to children Prince Michael Jr, 12, and Paris, 11.

George has asked the newspaper to publish a retraction.

In a statement, New York Post editor in chief Col Allan said, “The Post stands by its story.”

Katherine Jackson, 79, was granted temporary guardianship of her son’s three children on June 29, only days after the “Thriller” singer died.

George’s letter states that no agreement has been reached between Rowe and the Jacksons on custody or visitation.

Jackson, who died on June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest at his rented Los Angeles mansion, was the father of a third child named Prince Michael II, 7, but the boy’s surrogate mother has never been identified.

Rowe in 2001 sought to give up parental rights to her children, but she later went to court to contest her waiver of those rights and it never went into effect.

A custody hearing on Jackson’s three children is set for this coming Monday.

Also on Tuesday, an official from the LA Coroner’s office, which is one of several law enforcement agencies investigating Jackson’s death, visited the office of Dr. Arnold Klein, the singer’s dermatologist, to obtain medical records.

Craig Harvey, a spokesman for the LA Coroner, said results of an autopsy on Jackson will not be released this week or next, as final work is being completed on the case.

A German church says its pastor presided over the wedding between Robert Redford and his German partner.

Renate Massfeller, of the St. Catherine Church in Hamburg, said Wednesday that Pastor Frank Engelbrecht presided over the ceremony Saturday between the 71-year-old U.S. actor and artist Sibylle Szaggars at the luxury Louis C. Jacob Hotel.

The Hamburger Abendblatt newspaper said 30 friends and family members attended the service.

The 51-year-old Szaggars is an abstract artist whose work has been exhibited in Britain, Germany, the United States and elsewhere. She moved to Sundance, Utah — where Redford’s Sundance Institute is based — in the 1990s.

A message seeking comment from Redford’s publicist in New York was not immediately returned.

Her sister Kim may be the one with the famous figure, but this time, it’s Khloe Kardashian who is showing off her svelte new shape.

“I recently just lost 20 pounds!” the reality star told Usmagazine.com at the Three-O Vodka Bubble launch party in NYC Thursday. How’d she do it?

“I try to do just 30 minutes of cardio, mandatory,” Khloe, 25, tells Us. “Obviously if I have more time, I want to do weights, but really that cardio is what works for me because I’m bigger. Cardio is what leans me out, and it still works your muscle definition too. Any kind of cardio.”

And to avoid a monotonous routine, she makes sure to switch hers up. “I do different kinds everyday because I get really bored. I do boxing, I go on hikes, I do stairs,” she says. “I’m always switching it up.”

Khloe — who will appear with sister Kourtney in the new E! series, Kourtney and Khloe in Miami, this August — is more than happy with how far she’s come.

“It’s hard work, but it’s worth it, and once you start seeing results, it keeps you motivated,” she says. “Now I actually get excited. I’m like ‘I’ve got to start seeing arm definition soon,’ so I go to the gym.” Besides her workout routine, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star tells Us her dieting secrets.

“I eat whatever I want until noon. Then from noon on, I watch what I eat,” says Khloe, who adds that she is also launching a diet product called Quick Trim with Kim. “I only drink champagne. 100 calories in a glass, and I’m good.”

Justin Timberlake’s Mirimichi golf course is set to open July 25 in suburban Memphis after a $16 million renovation aimed at making it environmentally friendly.

The Commercial Appeal reported that Timberlake invested in reconstruction of the former Big Creek Golf Course after buying it late in 2007.

Mirimichi director of golf Greg King said Timberlake played the few holes that were ready in the early spring and King is eager for the celebrity owner to play the completed project.

Timberlake bought the golf course to save it from commercial development and the project was designed to be the first eco-friendly course to be certified by the Audubon Classic Sanctuary Program.
