Turns out Amy Winehouse's pop is the one blowing a little smoke these days.

The singer's rep is saying that the 24-year-old Brit does not have emphysema, as her father told Britain's Sunday Mirror over the weekend.

Rather, she has "early signs of what could lead to emphysema," rep Tracey Miller said Monday.

Mitch Winehouse was only speaking "out of his concern for her" when he told the press that his little girl was suffering through the early stages of the chronic respiratory disease.

Toby Keith has rocked the world of more than a few kids.

A two-day fundraiser presided over by the country music star raised $709,000 for Ally's House, a charity named after the late daughter of one of Keith's bandmates that benefits families of children battling cancer.

About 750 guests packed the Riverwind Casino's Showplace Theatre in Norman, Okla., Friday for a party, concert and auction that preceded the following day's Toby Keith & Friends Celebrity Golf Classic at a nearby country club.

Two partygoers bid $35,000 apiece to have dinner with Keith, and another paid $25,000 for the chance to be in one of the unapologetically patriotic singer's music videos. Tickets and backstage passes to upcoming Keith concerts raked in about $12,000.

When someone is injured having sex on the job, we're tempted to ask, What kind of job are we talking about here? In this case, however, there's nothing that kinky about it. Cable kinky is all. Mary-Louise Parker told People at last night's Tony Awards that she broke a toe during a sex scene for Weeds.

"How’s that for commitment?" joked the sardonic star.

Paul Newman is: (a) "doing nicely," (b) battling "a form of cancer," (c) both of the above or (d) just one of the above.

The health status of one of Hollywood's greatest leading men was back in play today after a new series of conflicting reports.

Early today, Newman friend A.E. Hotchner was quoted as telling the Associated Press that Newman has a "form of cancer, and he's dealing with it."

Hotchner, who, with the Oscar-winning actor, launched the now ubiquitous Newman's Own label of salad dressings, spaghetti sauces and other specialty foods, said Newman told him of the condition 18 months ago, the AP reported.

In a Reuters report, Hotchner was quoted as saying Newman made his cancer diagnosis "known to a lot of his friends."

Paul Newman is not at death's door, thank you very much.

The Hollywood icon's agent, Toni Howard, tells E! News a slew of gossip reports claiming Newman was terminally ill with lung cancer are "not true." In a separate statement, the actor's spokesman, Jeff Sanderson, said he spoke to Newman and "he's doing nicely."

The reports began in earnest late last month, when Newman backed out as director of Our Town at the playhouse in his hometown of Westport, Conn., citing an unspecified illness.

Several tabloids pounced on the news as evidence of a dire condition. Subsequent photos of a seemingly gaunt-looking Newman at a recent charity event, posted last Friday on Martha Stewart's blog, has added fuel to the speculation, which was even picked up by the Los Angeles Times' gossip blog.

The 83-year-old Oscar winner announced last year that he was ending his acting career after 50 years.

It'll take more than that honking diamond ring to throw off Mariah Carey's balance.

Although paparazzi snaps taken yesterday on the Hawaiian set of the newlywed songbird's new music video, "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time," seem to suggest Carey suffered some kind of injury, a rep for the singer denies that any mishaps took place during the shoot.

"Nothing happened," her rep told E! News. "No truth to this at all."
