Mary Ann Mobley & Gary Collins Mary Ann Mobley has her hands full again with her husband, Gary Collins. An arrest warrant has been issued in Jackson, Miss for a hit and run with another car last night involving a woman and her child. Gary left the scene after he was told the cops were on their way. A witness says Collins was clearly intoxicated. This will be Gary's third DUI offense. One accident in 2007 lead to the death of the other driver.

Mary Ann Mobley, former Miss America in 1959, co-starred with Elvis in the 1965 film, Harum Scarum. Mary Ann is currently in remission from stage 3 Cancer. The couple has been married since 1967.

The reason Miley Cyrus' parents are splitting after 17 years of marriage: Mom Tish had an affair with rocker Bret Michaels, reports the new Us Weekly (on newsstands Wednesday). When Billy Ray learned of it - as well as at least one other fling - he filed for divorce Oct. 27, sources tell Us Weekly. Michaels, 47, "became close to the entire family" this past February when he and Miley released the racy duet "Nothing to Lose," an insider tells Us Weekly. He and Tish, 43, soon began carrying on an on-the-sly romance, sources tell Us Weekly. Tish was seen at Michaels' Feb. 28 show at the Key Club in L.A., and he had once asked her production company’s help to adapt his book, Roses & Thorns, into a movie. "Billy Ray was completely unaware of what was going on," the source says of the "Achy Breaky Heart" crooner, who is seeking joint custody of their three minor children, Miley (who turns 18 Nov. 23), Braison, 16, and Noah, 10.

Two of Michael Jackson's children are adamant -- some of the soon-to-be released MJ song tracks are frauds. TMZ has been reporting, Sony will be releasing a Michael Jackson album before Christmas, featuring 10 - 12 original tracks.  We're told 5 of the tracks were recorded at the New Jersey home of record producer Eddie Cascio.  Michael and his kids stayed at Cascio's family home for 4 months in 2007, when the tracks were recorded, along with remixes that were released on the Thriller 25 Album. The Jackson family believes the Cassio tracks in question were fakes -- sung by a Michael Jackson sound-alike.  We're told Prince says he was upstairs at the Cascio's house when many of the tracks were recorded and was able to hear the music, and none of what he heard matches the Sony tracks.  We're also told Paris is "adamant" -- she does not believe her dad's voice is on the tracks in question. But the estate claims there are sound experts who say con

                                                       Huey Lewis and the News                                                             Soulsville                                                        W.O.W. Records Huey Lewis and the News haven’t made an album in nearly a decade. But for a few years during the ‘80s, they were one of the highest-grossing and best-selling acts on the planet, with songs like “I Want a New Drug” and “The Power of Love” that were not only well-crafted and catchy, but were superbly produced and performed. The News today is mostly intact, and on the band’s new CD, Soulsville, the absence of original guitarist Chris Hayes and bassist Mario Cipollina isn’t even conspicuous, as this is an album Lewis could have made with pretty much anyone. A solid collection of 14 tunes from the Stax/Volt heyday, this album, recorded in Memphis, covers some great songs while paying tribute to that groundbreaking sound and the writers who changed the shape of music wi
