Al Gore the Third was doing his best to make his famous father proud early yesterday morning -- doing his bit for Planet Earth by driving a Prius. However, the former vice president was probably less pleased that the 24-year-old was clocked driving the environmentally responsible hybrid -- reportedly loaded with marijuana, Valium, Xanax, Vicodin and the attention deficit disorder drug Adderall -- 100-miles-an-hour down an Orange County freeway. According to a sheriff's spokesman, the younger Gore "does not have a prescription for any of those drugs" and was arrested on suspicion of drug possession. Dad, of course, is busy preparing for his global Live Earth concert on Saturday.

The president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has told Oliver Stone to take a hike. The controversial filmmaker -- whose most recent documentary subject was Fidel Castro -- wanted to make a film about the Holocaust-denying leader, but according to Ahmadinejad, an American is still an American. Or, as his media advisor put it, "It is right that this person is considered part of the opposition in the U-S, but opposition in the U-S is a part of the Great Satan." Stone, who made the proposal a year ago, responded, "I have been called a lot of things, but never a great Satan. I wish the Iranian people well and only hope their experience with an inept, rigid ideologue president goes better than ours."

Tori Spelling wasn't happy when she showed up to film promos for the second season of her reality series Tori and Dean: Inn Love. She reportedly flipped out after determining that the actors hired as extras "looked too good." Those extras probably looked annoyed, too -- the new mom was more than two hours later. Sources tell TMZ-dot-com that Tori refused to interact with the good-looking cast and insisted on filming her parts separately against a green screen. After she left, the extras were also filmed against a green screen -- to later be combined with Tori through the miracle of special effects. I, for one, cannot WAIT to not watch this show...
