News flash! Not every girl wants to be Jamie Lynn Spears.

A young woman selected by police to trick the paparazzi assembled at Los Angeles International Airport for the recently hatched teen's arrival back in September is threatening to sue the LAX Police Department—because apparently she didn't agree to pose as the younger Spears sister.

Counsel for the would-be plaintiff, Adessa Eskridge, is demanding $2 million to fully compensate for the "humiliation, fear and harassment" Eskridge suffered when she deplaned and, without prior knowledge of what awaited, walked right into the flashbulb jungle. (View the damages claim.)

At the time, an LAX-PD spokesman told E! News that the department was opening an internal investigation because "it is not the policy or practice for Airport Police to provide a celebrity decoy."

Barack Obama is apparently looking to bring sexy back to Washington.

CNN reports that the president-elect has approached the network's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, about taking on the post of U.S. Surgeon General.

Hence, the Detroit-born neurosurgeon, deemed one of the Sexiest Men Alive by People in 2003, has steered clear of reporting on health care policy or any other Obama-related issues, according to CNN.

Gupta himself has declined to comment, but we're suspecting he's pretty flattered.

The 39-year-old University of Michigan alum makes his home in the Atlanta area now, but in 1997 he served as a White House fellow and as a special advisor to then-first lady Hillary Clinton. He joined CNN in 2001.

In addition to anchoring the weekend show House Call with Dr. Sanjay Gupta and filing stories for the network and CNN.com, the doc pens a column for Time, tapes medical segments for TNT reruns of ER, and helms his own podcast, Paging Dr. Gupta.

John Travolta and Kelly Preston have left the Bahamas and returned to the U.S. along with the cremated remains of their 16-year-old son, Jett.

The couple, along with 8-year-old daughter Ella Bleu, left the islands Monday night after the autopsy was complete and returned with their son's ashes to their home in Ocala, Fla.

Travolta's publicist has announced that a memorial service for Jett is being planned for Thursday, and the town is already preparing to help the family with whatever special arrangements they may need for the occasion.

"We're assuming they'll have a lot of friends and family coming in, we're not quite sure who, that will need help moving around town," Ocala Mayor Randy Ewers told E! News. "We have the police department available, and the sheriff's department is working with them."

The Stooges have lost a major source of their Raw Power.

Ron Asheton, a founding member of the Iggy Pop-fronted rock band, was found dead Tuesday at his home in Ann Arbor, Mich. He was 60.

An acquaintaince had called police after not being able to get in touch with him for several days, according to authorities, who said it appears that Asheton died of natural causes. They do not suspect foul play.

The lifelong music lover, whose memorable riffs on tunes like "I Wanna Be Your Dog," "Search and Destroy" and "TV Eye" (see above) helped make the band a major influence on later punk, heavy metal and alt-rock acts, was ranked the 29th best guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone in 2003.

"For all that knew him behind the facade of Mr. Cool & Quirky, he was a kindhearted, genuine, warm person who always believed that people meant well even if they did not," the band said in a written statement. "As a musician Ron was the Guitar God, idol to follow and inspire others. That is how he will be remembered by people who had a great pleasure to work with him, learn from him and share good and bad times with him."
