Sideshow: Big numbers from 'Blurred Lines'

On Tuesday, Conrad Hilton, 20, youngest bro of Paris Hilton, agreed to plead guilty to assaulting flight attendants on a London-L.A. flight last year.

'Blurred Lines' went boom!

AYK, the family of Marvin Gaye is suing Pharrell Williams, rapper T.I., and Robin Thicke for a cut of the bucks from their 2013 smash hit "Blurred Lines," which has a musical bedrock said to recall Gaye's 1977 dance classic "Got to Give It Up." Court docs reveal just how much money that smash made, and what the cut was. All in all, it made $16,675,690. Whoa! Thicke got $5,658,214, Pharrell got $5,153,457. T.I. got only $707,774, but that will still keep you in Doritos for a bit.

Conrad Hilton flight-rage plea

On Tuesday, Conrad Hilton, 20, youngest bro of Paris Hilton, agreed to plead guilty to assaulting flight attendants on a London-L.A. flight last year. He punched the plane (ow!), offered to fight and "rip through" crew members, and claimed he could "own anybody on this flight." He also called other passengers "peasants." (Peasants, flying from London to L.A.? That really hurt!)

He'll be in court Thursday and will officially plead guilty later. The rap could, but probably won't, get him six months in jail, a year's probation, and $5,000 in fines.

Catwoman, both sides now

In the latest edition of her comic (on, let's see . . . page 18) feline phenomenon Catwoman kisses a lady. One kiss is no confirmation, but after 75 years, what many have suspected seems purrrfectly true, though the whole wide world knows she still has a jones for Batman.

Dot dot dot

CeeLo Green, on probation since 2012 for giving a woman ecstasy, is done with his time. After fulfilling 360 hours of community service (hear that, Lindsey Lohan?) and getting a glowing report from his counselor, he's finished. . . . The family of Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thomson is said to be shopping around a spinoff of their reality show à la The Beverly Hillbillies in Hollyvoid. But TLC says they can't - despite ditching their show, it has them under contract until May. Nuh-uh!, says the fam: Our health insurance hasn't been paid since November (though TLC agreed to under said contract).     . . . Robert Herjavec (Shark Tank, and soon to be on Dancing With the Stars) has separated from and intends to divorce spouse Diane Plese. They've been wed since 1990. . . . George Clooney is supposed to be so great and all that for "admitting" that his splendid, sparkling spouse, Amal Alamuddin, is the "smartest one" in their marriage. Well, duh. . . . Know how it often rains, hard, on U.K. music festivals? Well, Lionel Richie is playing the Glastonbury Festival in June. He asks the BBC, quite sensibly: "Why don't you just put a roof on everything?" Yeah! Why not?
