Spin Cycle presents another installment of All The News That's Fit to Razz ...

Kim Cattrall took a swipe at her estranged former Sex and the City co-star Sarah Jessica Parker who recently contacted her after her brother's death ("Dearest Kim, my love and condolences to you and yours and Godspeed to your beloved brother. Xx." Cattrall shot back at Parker: "My Mom asked me today 'When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?' Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now. Let me make this very clear (if I haven't already). You are not my family. You are not my friend. So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona." So don't expect Cattrall in any future Sex and the City movies.

We're more entertained by this continuing Vex and the City drama anyway.

• Spice? Think twice. Earlier this month the Spice Girls shared a recent photo and released a joint statement teasing "The time now feels right to explore some incredible new opportunities together." But Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham told Vogue during New York Fashion Week, "I'm not going on tour. The girls aren't going on tour."

Selling clothes is what she wants. What she really, really wants.

• Actress Jennifer Garner has taken on a new role: saleswoman. She last week posted a photo of famous herself holding up a homemade sign to help daughters Violet, 12, and Seraphina, 9, push Girl Scout cookies with the caption: "Why yes, kind sir, we do have Thin Mints. #tistheseason,#comeandgetem" and "#whodoesntloveagirlscout."

That's one way to sell "Somoa" cookies.

• Fox's music competition The Four has ended with some gal named Evvie McKinney of Memphis winning. The music show judged by Sean Combs, DJ Khaled and Meghan Trainor will actually get a second season, although judge Charlie Walk, the suspended president of Republic Records, is likely out after being accused of sexual misconduct.

Some math: The Four minus one equals The Three. And the number of times we felt compelled to see it equals zero.

• Joining acts like Elton John, Paul Simon, Neil Diamond, Slayer (really, they're still around?) and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ozzy Osbourne has announced he is retiring from the road after riding the "Crazy Train" one last time. This final world tour will be called No More Tours 2 -- yes, because there already was a first No More Tours farewell tour back in the early 1990s.

"Mama, (He's) Coming Home" for good this time. Maybe.

• Admission prices have gone up at Disneyland park in California and Walt Disney World in Florida. On a peak day, a family of four will pay more than $500.

Seeing Mickey Mouse will leave you as poor as a church mouse.

• And speaking of talking animals, in response to backlash, Sony Pictures recently issued an apology about its film Peter Rabbit, in which creatures cause an allergic man to go into anaphylaxis by exposing him to blackberries. "Food allergies are a serious issue," Sony said via statement. "Our film should not have made light of Peter Rabbit's archnemesis, Mr. McGregor, being allergic to blackberries, even in a cartoonish, slapstick way. We sincerely regret not being more aware and sensitive to this issue, and we truly apologize."

Dumb bunnies.

• TMZ reports five Los Angeles County sheriff patrol cars last week responded to singer Cher's Malibu compound, which is equipped with safe rooms, after someone tripped up a panic alarm -- more serious than a burglar alarm.

"If (She) Could Turn Back Time," we "Believe" her people would be more careful. Still, we're glad her security is "Strong Enough" and that "(She's) Found Someone" to keep out the "Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves."

"I Walk Alone" unless you email:
