A paparazzi scumbag happened to be following NICK NOLTE around in Venice, California last Wednesday . . . as Nick went on a most interesting adventure. --It seems that Nick lost a bag . . . and he was looking for it in garbage cans and dumpsters. --What was in that bag??? Apparently, Xanax and beer. --Nick told the photographer, quote, "Somebody's probably swallowed a bottle of Xanax by now. And they've probably had a beer or two."

 

"Advertising Age"magazine says that KIM KARDASHIAN is partnered up with an online advertising company called Ad.ly . . . in a deal that can earn her $10,000 for a single Tweet. --Here's how it works: If Kim posts a Tweet mentioning a product that Ad.ly is repping, they pay her 10-grand. But she can only do it once a day. --Still, one Tweet per day, every day for a year, would net Kim $3,650,000. --Kim has 2.7 million followers on Twitter . . . which is why it's a good deal to have your product mentioned in her Tweets. And according to Fox News, Kim drops a lot of name brands. --It's not clear if Kim is actually doing this. But when reached for comment, she said that all her Twitter product mentions come from the heart. --She said, quote, "I want my fans to know what products, gadgets, foods, clothes and beauty products I like and I love sharing all that with my fans."

 

SANDRA BULLOCK was nominated for a Golden Globe for "The Proposal". And she won both a Globe and a Screen Actors Guild Award for "The Blind Side". When you tally up the box office numbers and critical acclaim, this is easily Sandra's best year. --And she'll probably get an Oscar nomination this morning. (--Nominations are being handed out at 8:30 A.M.) --But here's the flip side . . . The Golden Raspberry Award nominations were handed out yesterday, and Sandra got two of them. --But it wasn't for either of those two movies. Sandra is up for Worst Actress for "All About Steve" . . . and she and her co-star, BRADLEY COOPER, are up for Worst Screen Couple. --Sandra will be battling Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Megan Fox and Sarah Jessica Parker for Worst Actress. --The Worst Actor nominees are Will Ferrell, Eddie Murphy, John Travolta, Steve Martin and all three Jonas Brothers.

 

JAY LENO probably won't like this, but CONAN O'BRIEN is doing something that makes him look even MORE like a hero. --See, the $7.5 million that NBC agreed to pay Conan's staff didn't cover about 50 of his stagehands. So Conan is stepping up and paying them out of his own pocket. He's giving them at least six weeks' severance pay. There's no word how much that comes out to.

 

General Larry Platt . . . the dude who did "Pants on the Ground" on "American Idol" . . . performed the "song" on a commercial flight from L.A. to Atlanta yesterday morning. He did it mid-flight . . . in the aisle . . . in coach. --Platt's manager . . . yes, he has one now . . . says he did it because some of the other passengers recognized him, and "begged" him to do it. --Supposedly, the pilots and flight attendants were so star-struck that they were still talking to him even after all of the other passengers had de-planed. –By the way, Larry was on his way back home from the Grammy’s, where he performed for before the show on E!
