PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER HOSPITALIZED AFTER SKI ACCIDENT

Patrick Schwarzenegger, son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, was hospitalized on Saturday (March 10) after a skiing accident in Sun Valley, Idaho.

The 18-year-old was seen on a stretcher as he took to his Twitter page to post a message reading, "Little ski accident today. Some bruises and stiches down back and but. Thanks to sun valley doctors for everything."

Patrick later posted a second photo of his injuries, which showed a big gash on his backside, while writing, "My ski accident "living the hurt lifestyle"Lawford."

The Schwarzenegger/Shriver clan is no stranger to hospitalizations due to accidents as, just seven months ago, the former couple's youngest son, Christopher, was rushed to a medical facility in Malibu due to a boogie-boarding accident.

REPORT: BRITNEY SPEARS REJECTS $10 MILLION 'x FACTOR' OFFER

Unless "The X Factor" agrees to fork over more money, it seems Britney Spears won't be joining the show's judging panel anytime soon.
The FOX competition series reportedly offered the "Womanizer" singer a $10 million contract to join the second season as a mentor but, according to The Wrap, Spears shut it down in hopes of a much larger counter-offer.

Spears' camp is allegedly looking for $20 million for the singer to appear on the show, a much higher paycheck than former judge Paula Abdul, who earned around $2.3 million during her stint on "The X Factor" last year.

The negotiations with Britney come as producers are desperate to find one more big name celebrity to join Simon Cowell and LA Reid, as auditions have already started with the second season premiere date slated for September 2012.

Spears might be picking the stage over the judging panel as a source close to the singer revealed she is considering a resident performer offer at a Las Vegas hotel in the fall.

JAY-Z & KANYE WEST SETTLE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT LAWSUIT

Jay-Z and Kanye West have to be feeling a little more joyful than usual -- because the hit-making duo has settled a federal lawsuit over their song "The Joy" ... TMZ has learned.

The "Watch the Throne" rappers were sued last October by Syl Johnson for using an unauthorized sample of his song "Different Strokes." Johnson had claimed Kanye tried to get the song cleared for his solo album, "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy," but couldn't get the deal done in time.

So when the sample then appeared on "WTT," Johnson filed the lawsuit.

But in legal docs filed in Illinois federal court this week, the lawsuit was dismissed because the two sides reached a settlement ... though no further details were made available.

Johnson is no stranger to copyright infringement cases; he's previously sued Michael Jackson, Jefferson Airplane and Cypress Hill.

I AM NOT GIVING MY EX $50,000 TO FIGHT ME - USHER

 Usher says there is noooooooo way he is going to foot the bill so his ex-wife Tameka can pay for her legal battle against him ... this according to new documents filed in their ongoing custody case.

As TMZ first reported, Tameka wants Usher to write a check for $50,000 to cover her costs as the two trade legal shots in their fight for custody of their two children.

Usher finds that request absurd... saying in court docs filed earlier this month that Tameka has consistently defied court orders and filed frivolous motions, like the one trying to force him to take a drug test.

Usher claims he's already forked over 25k for her attorneys and has shouldered the brunt of the financial associated with this case, especially when it comes to their kids.

Bottom line ... Usher feels Tameka's actions "directly harm the best interests of the minor children. Clearly, such actions should not be tolerated, much less rewarded."

A judge has yet to rule.

The reconstructed Maybach from Jay-Z and Kanye's "Otis" video was auctioned last week.

The torn-apart and rebuilt Maybach from Jay-Z and Kanye West's "Otis" video has found a new home.

Rap-Up.com reports that the car was sold for $60,000, and was sold in less than five minutes. The car was sold as part of the New York Contemporary Art Evening auction.

Though it sold for less than the expected $100,000-$150,000, the Maybach is a work of art rather than a working vehicle.

Part of the proceeds from the sale benefitted Save the Children to provide food for children in Africa.
