Tattle | Remy Ma pleads not guilty to murder try

GRAMMY-NOMINATED rapper

Remy Ma

(aka Remy Smith, no relation to

Yo-Yo Ma

) pleaded not guilty to attempted murder and more yesterday in the shooting of

Makeda Barnes-Joseph

in Manhattan's Meatpacking District.

At Ma's arraignment, bail was set at $250,000.

Police found Barnes-Joseph with a gunshot wound to her lower torso early Saturday (so someone was packing more than meat), in the area usually crowded with late-night weekend revelers.

Three blocks away, officers discovered a luxury SUV owned by Ma. The SUV was involved in a single-car crash and abandoned, police said.

Barnes-Joseph was hospitalized in stable condition yesterday. Prosecutors said she and Ma knew each other.

Ma turned herself in Saturday night. She was charged with attempted murder, assault and weapon possession.

"I ask everyone to keep an open mind," said her lawyer Scott Leemon. "Things are not always as they seem."

They never are.

Posh the ammunition

Those Spice Girls may not stay together, but they stick together, reports newsoftheworld.com.

Victoria Beckham ("Posh") has named Eddie Murphy "Beverly Hills C--k" for the way he loved, impregnated, cheated on and dumped Melanie B ("Scary").

Posh unveils Murphy's new monicker on "Victoria Beckham: Coming to America" tonight at 8 on NBC.

(Hey, Murphy once made a "Coming to America" also.)

In the show, while Posh bakes an apple pie (a completely staged "reality" show moment), her assistant asks her if she would spit in Murphy's food.

"I'd spit in his food definitely," she says, making one question the pie's glaze.

Then she adds: "I'd chop his di-- off too."

A Hollywood observer tells newsoftheworld.com, "It's a declaration of war. It's about Posh becoming a controversial figure in the States who is brave enough to slag off other big names."

That kind of nonsense may work across the pond, but Murphy at his lowest ebb is a bigger star here than Posh will ever be and calling someone a "co--" doesn't make you controversial . . . unless you're in second grade.

Has she anything left to see?

Now that Lindsay Lohan is back trolling the clubs it's time for her to make a little non-news.

(As there will be no advance screenings of Lindsay's upcoming thriller "I Know Who Killed Me," non-news may be the only kind she makes for awhile.)

Anyway, newsoftheworld.com reports that someone stole nude pictures of Lindsay from her computer (or some other computer, it's unclear).

They were reportedly taken by Calum Best, one of her many hound dog ex-boyfriends.

A pal told newsoftheworld.com: "Lindsay's furious that naked pictures of her could appear on the net at any moment."

Whoa. She plays a stripper in her new movie and now she's worried people might see her naked?

* With a new lenient law on the books, Bunny Ranch owner Dennis Hof (HBO's "Cathouse") can now advertise his "girls" and their services and he plans to spend $250,000 in national advertising to promote his sexy specials - including those for military personnel and senior citizens (defibrillators extra).

According to Wireless Flash, Hof says, "Now you'll be able to pick up a newspaper and turn on the TV and see an ad for the world famous Bunny Ranch!"

As long as we see some of those ads in the People Paper, Dennis. Call 215-854-4877 for rates cheaper than a Bunny Ranch quickie.

* Wharton alum Ivanka Trump really has a knack for climbing the corporate ladder.

At the tender age of 25, she is joining the board of Trump Entertainment Resorts Inc.

Nepotism? Of course not.

"She's been outstanding in everything she has done, and she will be an outstanding board member," daddy Donald Trump told the Press of Atlantic City.

* Mariela Mollinedo, the newly crowned Cholita Pacena 2007 Bolivian beauty queen, was stripped of her title after judges discovered she had worn fake braids during a pageant celebrating Aymara Indian fashions.

Not fake breasts. Fake braids.

Fake breasts probably would have been OK.

Cholita Pacena, you see, is an annual event featuring the elaborate hair-braiding style favored by La Paz's Aymara women, known as "cholitas." But after the contest ended, judges discovered that Mollinedo's long black braids - an essential part of the cholita look - were extensions.

* Protesters are already gearing up for the spring of 2008.

That's when Lionsgate will release a documentary about world religion by Bill Maher (admittedly not a big fan of religion) and director Larry Charles ("Borat," "Curb Your Enthusiasm").

The good news is it can't possibly be more depressing than the "Iraq for Sale" documentary we saw last night on Starz.

Said Maher in a statement, "Comedically, the topic of religion is hitting the side of a barn - it's literally hard to miss. This movie will make you laugh so hard you'll pray for it to stop."

Said Charles in the same statement, "Nietzsche said God is dead, but he didn't see the grosses for 'Passion of the Christ'." *
