Cody Herpin revealed exclusively to Radar Online that during the mediation over custody issues involving 9-month-old Zoie, he requested Jodie take a hair follicle drug test - and she flatly refused.

"Because of her history with drug and alcohol abuse, I'm in fear of Zoie's well being," Cody said. "I'm more than willing to take a hair follicle drug court and challenge her to do the same."

The couple is scheduled to appear in court to reach a settlement on Feb. 9.

The band hasn't done an original set since Just Push Play in 2001. They took last year off to take care of medical and personal business.

In fact, she says, she's only had sex with "a couple of people." And she doesn't just mean since November, when she split with rocker Benji Madden. She means always.

"People make up stories," she insists., "but mostly I just kiss.

"I think it's important to play hard to get. Nobody wants the fake Prada bag; they want the brand new bag that no one can get and is the most expensive. If you give it up to a guy he won't respect you; he'll want you much more if he can't have you."

In October, 2007, Winehouse and then hubby Blake Fielder-Civil were arrested while on a concert tour of Bergen and charged with possessing 1/4 ounce of pot. They spent the night in jail and were released after paying a $428 fine.

The 25 year-old singer appealed, claiming through attorneys that Norwegian cops made procedural errors.

Without explanation, her local lawyer Ole Kvelstad said, "After a careful review of the whole matter, they decided to drop the appeal."

'NASCAR Hotties' are coming to TV!

Okay, it's not going to be called that, but you know it's what the upcoming TLC show NASCAR Wives is all about.

The new series is one of the increasing number of shows that fall in the 'docusoap' category about fill-in-the-blank wives, such as The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo and Army Wives on Lifetime.
(Coming soon is the Real Wives of Bloggers. Ok, that's not possible.)

In terms of NASCAR: "Throughout a 10-month season, the drivers' wives are the glue holding together each racing family," NASCAR spokesperson Jay Abraham says. "This show provides an honest and emotional peek into their experience with our sport."

The wives include DeLana Harvick (wife of Kevin), Shana Mayfield (wife of Jeremy), Angie Skinner (wife of Mike) and -- a bit of a cheat, but she's got the name -- Kelley Earnhardt (sister of Dale Earnhardt Jr)

Watch for it January 24.
