Italian stud Pauly D and his laptop could be hitting the road when he's not shooting the next season of the 'Jersey Shore' in Italy.On "Good Morning America" Tuesday, Britney Spears told Robin Roberts she was "going on tour with Enrique Iglesias in June." Only hours after she made the announcement and a press release was circulated, the Latin heartthrob seemed to have had, well, a change of heart, and pulled out of the tour due to what we're told were "scheduling conflicts."
The good news for pop consumers who were hoping to get a swarthy side of man candy with their bubblegum-and-Jagermeister Britney fix: We hear DJ Paul (Pauly D) DelVecchio may join Spears on her "Femme Fatale" tour. It's unlikely the reality star, who had Spears as his "special guest" at The Palms Las Vegas last Friday (where he is a resident deejay), will be along for the entirety of the tour. He'll begin taping a fourth season of "Jersey Shore" in Italy next month. Still, the pairing comes as no surprise to us. The Italian stud and the Southern songstress are represented by the same manager, Larry Rudolph.�
Mellencamp's no Cougar
John Mellencamp is with the over-40 ladies on this one: Nobody likes getting called a cougar. In a Q&A Monday night at 92nd Street Y, Rolling Stone's David Fricke asked the "Hurts So Good" rocker the worst thing a record company ever asked him to do. "Making me change my name to Johnny Cougar," he replied. Mellencamp also relates to the angst of aging. Admitting that he was once considered rather handsome, he said that he now felt like a "stack of sh?." Ah, vanity! Perhaps he should look into those new man-Spanx?
The chat wasn't limited to gripes. Mellencamp revealed he'll have a one-man show of his paintings at the Tennessee State Museum ? and did a spot-on impression of Miles Davis while discussing their two-man show years ago.
Gal pal Meg Ryan came along for the evening, but after briefly hanging out backstage, she sat in the audience like an ordinary fan.
Salute on Ellis Island with Joe
Yankees fans who'll miss Joe Torre on Opening Day Thursday can catch the team's former manager at Ellis Island on April 13 when he is awarded the 2011 Ellis Island Family Heritage Award. The honor celebrates April 17, 1907, the day when the largest number of new arrivals to America ? 11,747 ? were processed (5,000 was more typical). Tennis ace Martina Navratilova, former Maine Sen. George Mitchell and Chrysler savior Lee Iacocca also will be honored.
Brain 'Em, Dano!
At the Cinema Society's Nancy Gonzalez-sponsored screening of "Meek's Cutoff" at Landmark Sunshine Cinema on Monday, Paul Dano confirmed he's had "a meeting" regarding the lead role in a spinoff of "The Bourne Legacy." But, he added, a "ton of great young actors did as well. So ? we'll see." Rivals reportedly include Jake Gyllenhaal and Shia LaBeouf. But Dano, a "Cutoff" star along with girlfriend Zoe Kazan, likes it because he wants "to kick some ass at some point."
You talkin' about me?
Radion Veteran Bill O'Shaughnessy says there's no shame in New York. USA Today critic Bob Minze�sheimer once declined to review an anthology of O'Shaughnessy's work, calling it "a New York book" ? but the Whitney Media honcho wears that title as a "badge of honor." In fact, he says that although his new book, "Vox Populi," "still probably wouldn't pass muster" with Minzesheimer, he's delighted with the response it's gotten from Gothamites, including Mario Cuomo. After all, if there's one place New Yorkers are nice, it's in their blurbs!
