Diva Maguire, Ebay Britney, Gisele and Apple, Exxon $$, and Hotel Rwanda?

1. Rwandan president Paul Kagame dismisses "Hotel Rwanda" as revisionist. Kagame says that Paul Rusesabagina (who Don Cheadle plays) was not so much heroic in his survival as he "was not in the category of those being hunted." Kagame attributes the lives saved at the hotel to a combination of the occupation of UN forces and the desire of the killers to have a place to drink. (Reuters)

2. Tobey Maguire is quite the diva, having a "lion-sized entourage" in tow for his filming of Spider-Man 3. It also took him 50 takes to get "a 20-second scene in which he turns to the camera, walks three steps, and says one line" right. God, to be an actor. (Daily News)

3. Apparently this is a real invitation to Britney Spear's wedding and a candle from it... for a mere $999.99. K-Fed, is that you?

4. According to Page Six, Gisele is the new face for Apple's new line and Dolce & Gabbana's new perfume, The One.

5. The government is seeking an extra $92M from Exxon for their mess in 1989. Good luck with that. Exxon Mobil is still appealing another punitive damage award of $4.5B from the spill. (NYT)
