Tattle | Osmonds plan a golden anni summer reunion

SHE'S A LITTLE bit country, he's a little bit rock 'n' roll and they're all

a lot

older. The

Osmonds

will reunite this summer to see if one bad apple still don't spoil the whole bunch . . . yeah.

The reunion will be for a PBS TV special (to air next March) celebrating a half-century of Osmonds in the entertainment business.

Seven Osmond siblings - Alan, Wayne, Merrill, Jay, Donny, Marie and Jimmy - are scheduled to be onstage Aug. 13-14 at The Orleans Hotel Showroom in Las Vegas, publicist Kevin Sasaki said yesterday.

"At first it was just a tribute to my brothers, but it came together as a celebration of everybody. It's out of control," Jimmy Osmond, producer of the special, said yesterday.

"We started so young, you would think 50 years means we're a bunch of old guys. We aren't a bunch of old guys."

Only because 50 is the new 30.

* Paul McCartney may be turning 65 and making music for a chain of coffee shops, but he was still able to snag 25-year-old Natalie Portman for his new video, "Memory Almost Full."

Thanks to his daughter.

Sir Paul posted on his Web site: "The connection with Natalie came from my daughter Stella, who makes non-leather shoes that Natalie buys, so I just thought, 'Well, I'll ring her up and just see if she'll do it.' So I rang her up and said, 'Hey, I'm Stella's dad!' "

You can't fight time. Even a former Beatle, to some, is merely Stella's dad.

Rosie vs. Elisabeth vs. Donald

Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck went at each other like pit bulls on "The View" Wednesday. So, of course, "Extra" had to stir the pot by getting comment from noted Rosie-rival Donald Trump.

On Hasselbeck calling him obnoxious, Trump admitted, "Well I am obnoxious, on that she's right."

But he was downright nasty when it came to Elisabeth's view of the war in Iraq.

"Elisabeth is not a very smart person," Trump said. "She's one of the dumber people in television. To see that she supports the war, and she's solidly behind the war, give me a break."

Trump therefore had to support Rosie. "I think anybody that's against the war in Iraq is the winner of the fight, because to justify the war in Iraq - only an imbecile could do that."

Thankfully, the two women had an unexpected extra day to cool off. "The View" was postponed yesterday for the president's press conference - so he could talk about the Iraq war.

Hi, Britney, it's rehab calling

The scene: Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood.

The date: May 16.

The time: Late.

An anonymous source tells the National Enquirer: "Britney was in the club's lounge when Ryan [Phillippe] came over to say hi. Both of them had drinks and it wasn't long before Britney had her arms around him."

A club insider added: "They went from saying hello to groping and kissing each other in record time.

"After several of Ryan's buddies joined them at Britney's table, Ryan excused himself and went into the nearby men's room," said the source. "On the spur of the moment, Britney followed. Alarmed, Britney's bodyguards began pounding and screaming on the door. With no response from her, they went ballistic.

"After calling out to Britney several more times asking if she was OK, they busted in the door and found Britney and Ryan groping and kissing each other," said the insider.

A concerned friend of Britney (it's always "concerned" friends who blab to the Enquirer) said: "Britney's life is unraveling - and the sad thing is that it's happening in the public eye."

(Actually our Public Eye logo doesn't run on Fridays.)

Britney and Ryan canoodling in a men's room makes for a good story, but reps for both deny it happened.

Which means . . . who knows?

* The Hollywood Reporter says Mary-Kate Olsen is join-t-ing the Showtime pot-com, "Weeds."

And she's leaving Ashley home.

Olsen, who is so thin she could play a weed, will instead play a devoted Christian and love interest for Nancy Botwin's (Mary-Louise Parker) son Silas (Hunter Parrish).

Season 3 premieres Aug. 13.

* Anne Heche struck back at estranged husband Coley Laffoon, saying in a court declaration that she wants sole custody of their 5-year-old son, Homer.

Fighting back against Coley's claims that Heche made Homer bad lunches and lost a stuffed animal, Heche said that when Homer stays with Laffoon in L.A., he sends the boy to preschool or leaves him with nannies and baby sitters while he "plays pingpong, backgammon and poker and views pornography online."

"He holds a poker game at his home every Thursday night and allows Homer to participate," Heche contended.

Laffoon filed for divorce Feb. 2, and is seeking joint custody and more than $30,000 a month in spousal support.

Heche's spousal support proposal is $0.

Ladies and gentleman, start your lawyers.

* The 20th Century-Fox PR machine is in full-out Fantastic Four mode in preparation for the "Rise of the Silver Surfer" sequel opening June 15.

All four of the film's stars will be at Sunday's Coca-Cola 600 NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series race at Lowe's Motor Speedway, in Charlotte, and they'll watch a team of 20 world-class "human torch" sky divers make a "4" before a "silver" sky surfer flies through it at 125 mph.

The race and F4 pre-race will synergistically air on Fox.

In an even wackier promo, Fox has teamed with the Franklin Mint to make Silver Surfer quarters - actual (though color-enhanced) legal tender that's in circulation right now.

Bet Disney is kicking itself for not minting Johnny Depp doubloons. *
