IF ONLY Tattle could be this adept at predicting the stock market.

Yesterday's final item, dealing with the Las Vegas marriage of Francesca Eastwood (Clint's daughter) and Jordan Feldstein (Jonah Hill's brother) ended with "Tattle will be surprised if this one lasts a year."

Well . . . make that a week.

TMZ.com reports that 20-year-old Francesca is reportedly looking to get the marriage annulled.

Francesca and music manager Jordan, 35, who looks a little like Jonah before he lost all the weight, reportedly had a booze-fueled "wild night in Vegas," which ended up at a chapel with an Elvis impersonator, according to Us Weekly.

Francesca, however, says that she doesn't drink, a denial, which, if true, makes her decision-making even more questionable.

It's not like Tattle to be cynical when it comes to the ways of celebrities and celebrity wannabes, but this is starting to smell like a publicity stunt - and one that's a bit less work than not-so-secretly releasing a sex tape.

Philippines relief

Dozens of top stars have donated songs to an album aimed at raising funds for disaster relief in the Philippines.

Songs by The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Beyonce, U2 and Bruno Mars are among the 39 donated to "Songs for the Philippines," released yesterday on iTunes.

The artists, record companies and music publishers have agreed to donate all proceeds. The money will go to the Philippines Red Cross.

The compilation album has a little of everything, from the disturbing images of a live version of Eminem's "Stan" to the calming effect of The Beatles' "Let It Be."

Alicia Keys visited a Philippine Air Force base yesterday to bring cheer to hundreds of evacuees from eastern provinces wracked by Typhoon Haiyan.

Keys distributed crayons and coloring books to children at the Villamor Air Base grandstand, where evacuees from eastern Leyte and Samar provinces arrive via C-130 planes.

Social Welfare Department officer Jane Abello says that Keys stayed for about half an hour to chat with evacuees. She was in Manila last night for a concert at the seaside MOA Arena.

* Congrats to Kelly Rowland.

Us Weekly says that she's engaged to marry her manager, Tim Witherspoon.

* Israeli-born movie producer Arnon Milchan ("Pretty Woman," "Fight Club" and "L.A. Confidential") has finally admitted that for years he served as an Israeli spy.

In an interview aired yesterday on Israel's Channel 2, Milchan detailed a series of clandestine affairs in which he was involved and particularly how he helped purchase technologies that Israel allegedly needed to operate nuclear bombs.

"I did it for my country, and I'm proud of it," said Milchan, who ran a successful fertilizer company in Israel before making it big in Hollywood.

Katie Couric is leaving ABC News and joining Yahoo to anchor an expansion of the company's video-news coverage.

Couric is the latest high-profile hire for Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer as she brings in well-known journalists in an effort to create compelling content that will attract more people to the company's online services. In the past month, Yahoo has also lured away technology columnist David Pogue and political reporter Matt Bai from The New York Times.

Michelle Knight, one of three young women held captive for years by Ariel Castro in a Cleveland house, has a book deal.

Knight's memoir is scheduled to come out next spring, publisher Weinstein Books announced yesterday. The book is currently untitled and will be co-written by Michelle Burford, who worked on Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas' memoir.

The other two women, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, are planning their own book, collaborating with a pair of Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporters.

* Correction: Last week we reported that Adam Levine was the first Jew to be named People's "Sexiest Man Alive."

A reader informed us that, technically, the first was Harrison Ford, whose mother was Jewish.

* CNN reports that tickets for the Monty Python reunion performance at London's O2 Arena on July 1 went on sale yesterday and sold out in 43 seconds. With that type of demand, the Pythons quickly added four more shows. For the five surviving members of the comedy troupe, it will be their first show onstage together since 1980.

* The London Mirror says that Angelina Jolie is plunking down $20 million for a gift for Brad Pitt's upcoming 50th birthday. Is she buying him a newspaper? Nope.

She's allegedly buying Petra Island, 50 miles and a 15-minute helicopter ride from Manhattan, with two properties on it designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Rick Santorum's first foray into movie production hit theaters with a bit of a whimper.

"The Christmas Candle," from EchoLight Studios, where Santorum is CEO, played in 392 theaters this past weekend and took in a little under $850,000.

By comparison, "The Hunger Games" sequel opened in ten times the number of theaters and did nearly 200 times the business, grossing nearly $160 million.

It's so much easier to criticize Hollywood than make a movie people want to see. Drat that free market.

* "Family Guy" fans have taken to change.org after creator Seth MacFarlane killed off family dog, Brian Griffin.

They're signing petitions urging MacFarlane to bring the dog back.

Seriously people, couldn't you come up with a petition to address a real problem, like bringing Det. Munch back to "Law & Order: SVU"?
