Jun. 14--SO THAT TATTLE doesn't have to write a new version of this story every few weeks, would every young woman who plans to sue "Girls Gone Wild" creator Joe Francis please do it at the same time.

We get it. You were drunk. He photographed your boobies. Now you're not drunk. He's rich. You're horrified.

In the federal lawsuit filed Monday in Panama City, Fla., Brooke Pastolic and Christina Brose said they had been enticed to board a "Girls Gone Wild" tour bus with the promise of free clothing. Once onboard, they allegedly were given alcoholic drinks even though both were younger than 21.

According to the suit, the cameramen then coerced the women into exposing themselves and engaging in sexual activities, but repeatedly stated they would not use footage in a video.

Shockingly, the footage later appeared on two separate "Girls Gone Wild" DVDs.

Gee, ladies, what did you think was going to happen on the "Girls Gone Wild" bus?

The only reason they promise free clothing is so visitors have something to take off.

As for the notion that the footage would not be used in a video, wake up. The footage is always used in videos. "Girls Gone Wild" produces videos.

It's like standing in front of a Mister Softee truck and being stunned when someone tries to sell you ice cream.

The two women, however, claim the now-embarrassing footage was used without their consent.

Unless they gave consent.

But if they gave consent, it shouldn't like count because they were like drunk and it was those "Girls Gone Wild" guys who gave them alcohol. And they were underage. And probably never even tasted demon rum in their innocent lives.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Michael Burke, attorney for Francis' Mantra Films Inc., told the News Herald that "Girls Gone Wild" crews don't serve alcohol on the tour buses and ask women for ID to verify their age.

That's equally funny.

Francis, meanwhile, remains in a Nevada jail on federal tax-evasion charges.

It's like the IRS is saying, "Show us your chits."

He was granted bail after pleading not guilty in that case, but stayed in jail to avoid being sent to Florida to be arrested on charges of possessing contraband and drugs while in the Bay County Jail in May.

He is also charged in Florida with using minors in sexual performances, conspiring to use minors in sexual performances and prostitution.

Game not playing

West Coast rapper The Game (aka Jayceon Taylor), arrested on charges of impersonating a police officer last year, yesterday rejected a Manhattan prosecutor's offer of a guilty plea for a sentence of time already served.

A guilty plea to the misdemeanor charge would have ended the case against him, his attorney, Jeffrey

Lichtman

, said.

"Why should he plead guilty to bogus charges for a non-jail sentence if he's innocent?" Lichtman asked outside court. "And he is innocent. It's rare that I have a 100-percent innocent defendant, but this is one."

The Game was arrested in November 2006, after he told a cab driver he was an undercover police officer and persuaded him to run a series of red lights, police said after his arrest. Lichtman said the "case will end in a dismissal or an acquittal."

They'll all be in court Sept. 20 after The Game returns from a two-month European tour.

It's like prison concierge service

Rich people do lines, they don't stand in them.

Rick and Kathy Hilton visited Paris Tuesday and their prison stop raised new complaints that the heiress is receiving special treatment.

Seems they didn't have to wait in line at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.

Alvina Floyd did.

She waited more than four hours to visit her fiance. It normally takes two hours. Floyd blamed the Hiltons for the delay.

Shatani Alverson said she was hustled out of the jail's visiting room moments after her husband walked in because of the Hiltons. She was told to come back after lunch.

Busy sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said it was routine for high-profile inmates to receive visitors during lunch, a time when the visiting room is normally cleared out and closed.

As for Paris' $1,100/day, taxpayer- paid room at the medical ward (compared to the $100/day cost Los Angelenos pay to house a gal in gen pop), Mary Tiedeman, an ACLU jail monitor, said the area where Hilton's being housed was usually reserved for high-security inmates or those worse off than Hilton has appeared.

"I don't know what her health issue is, but you have got to have a pretty intense medical or mental- health problem to be in that part of the jail," she said.

Ooops . . . HE did it again, maybe

A Kevine Federline spokesperson denied the story to "Extra," but the most fertile man in America may have struck again.

The Star is reporting that while Britney Spears was in rehab, her ex-husband was back in ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson.

An unidentified friend of Shar tells Star, "Shar told me, 'I'm pregnant, I just know it. I know when I have a baby inside of me!' "

Each could now be parents of five.

According to the source, Shar is now about six weeks along.

Said a Spears' insider: "Britney's going to freak. She'll see this as a slap in the face."

Perhaps a slap and a tickle.
