We got Evangeline Lilly at LAX yesterday and it sparked a very important debate in the TMZ newsroom -- if you had to be stranded on an island, "Lost" style, with only one person, would it be girl-next-door Evangeline? Or sexpot Megan Fox?

There's peace in the golf, as the men in Jessica Simpson's world -- Tony Romo and Joe Simpson -- hit the green together on Thursday.
Earlier this year, there were reports that Papa Joe's meddling led to Tony and Jessica's initial breakup.
Perhaps Joe has learned to leave Jess' love life alone and be content with just mismanaging her career.

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has just pled guilty to one felony count of evading cops in that crazy chase last July.
You'll recall the former UFC champ crashed into cars and almost hit pedestrians before cops hauled his butt out of his monster truck -- at gunpoint. The best part -- Jackson was trying to escape in a vehicle that had a huge pic of him emblazoned on the side.
Based on the plea agreement, Jackson could get 6 months in jail. He'll also have to complete 200 hours of community service -- hopefully, they'll keep him off the freeway.

A visibly shaken Tom Cruise finally opened up about the death of his good friend's son -- describing Jett Travolta's death as "horrific" and addressing Scientology's role in the tragedy.
Struggling to find the right words, Cruise addressed the emotional topic during a taping for tomorrow's episode of "The View," where he claimed his religion does not prohibit people from seeing a doctor and getting proper medication.

One of the chicks from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" is raising hell over her multi-million dollar divorce settlement -- claiming she needs more cash to compensate for her total lack of brain power.
Sheree Whitfield -- who was married to former NFL lineman Bob Whitfield -- just filed an appeal with the Georgia Supreme Court. According to a court spokesperson, Sheree's lawyers argued she was wrongly denied alimony -- and needs it because she lacks the education and skill set to make good money on her own.
Under the original settlement agreement, Whitfield received a $775,000 lump sum, more than $1.1 million in marital property, a portion of Bob's NFL retirement plans and $2,142 a month in child support -- but no alimony.
Bob's attorney claims the $113,422-a-year he's required to give her is enough -- and claims Sheree should be fined $2,500 by the court for wasting everyone's time.
The case is scheduled to be heard on Monday.

This is how desperate people are to get into Barack Obama's sold out Inauguration: The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Georgetown is selling a special Inauguration package: 4 nights in the Presidential suite, a set of Gucci luggage, 2 tickets to the parade and official ball and a 4 night stay at the Ritz in Grand Cayman to recover. Price tag: $99,000.
A Hotel rep says someone bought the package.
UPDATE: The room did sell -- but not for $99,000. We're told it went for $12,000 per night.
We also found out someone did buy a $50,000 "Politically Correct" package at the The Ritz in Washington D.C. -- which includes 4-nights in a luxury suite, 2 tix to the inauguration, 2 tix to the parade, 2 tix to the ball, some jewelry, a designer tux and a dress. It's good to be rich.

TMZ has learned Kevin Costner was rushed to the hospital Tuesday.
It happened in Hollywood, at around 10 AM. We're told Costner was driving to a meeting when he began feeling ill and lightheaded -- so bad he pulled over and called 911. As he waited for paramedics, we're told Costner began vomiting.
Costner was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was held overnight for tests. We're told the tests were normal and he was released yesterday.

Hours after walking away from totaling his Ferrari in a UK tunnel this morning, soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo was spotted driving a new ridiculously expensive automobile and giving the thumbs up in Manchester.
All that greasy body oil and pomade really can make a steering wheel slippery.

Despite mounds of evidence to the contrary, Gerard Butler isn't a player ... at least according to him.
Right. Maybe he was just helping this girl get food out of her teeth, or got this chick's digits to trade recipes with her later over the phone. Nice try, G.

It's pretty clear ...Tom Cruise is not going to Jett Travolta's memorial in Florida today, because he is currently in NYC taping "The View."
Cruise -- who is really close to John Travolta and Kelly Preston -- is at the ABC studio right now, taping the episode that normally is broadcast live -- it will air tomorrow (the delay is because of Prez-elect Obama's speech).
Interestingly, Travolta did not attend Tom's star-studded 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes.

Joe Francis and Larry Flynt have a hard battle ahead if they plan on getting any bailout money from the government -- because based on the responses of several congressmen -- and even a senator -- who were out in D.C. yesterday, nailing down support is gonna be a lot tougher than getting drunk girls to take their tops off.
