It's official: Sienna Miller and Hayden Christensen are snogging. View the evidence.
Update: Wrong, wrong, wrong. Although some people would like to think that See-See has moved on from Jude, it's simply not true. The photos on Egotastic.com were in fact of Hayden and his longtime Lola Skye. They were not of Hayden and Sienna. Read the correction.
Well that was quick!
Destiny's Child, who "retired" last year to focus on solo projects, is already reuniting. The trio -- Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle "I'm Not Heath Ledger's Baby Mama" Williams -- will be teaming up on February 19 for the NBA All-Star Game, which takes place in the group's hometown of Houston. Their handlers insist that this will really be their last performance.
Yeah, right. This is like Cher all over again.
Why do all of Halle Berry's men cheat on her? Page Six says her new boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry, likes the ladies as much as her ex, Eric Benet, does. And wasn't he a sex addict or something?
Not only do Josh Lucas and Matthew McConaughey look alike, but now they're playing very similar roles.
Hot off the heels of Lucas's Glory Road, in which he played a basketball coach, Matthew has signed on to an untitled Warner Bros. production in which he will play a football coach. But not just any football coach, folks. The football coach of my alma mater: Marshall University. (Go Herd!)
The movie will be based on a real-life event that happened in 1970, when most of Marshall's football team -- including players, coaches, sports commentators and local boosters -- were killed in a plane crash. Matthew will play Jack Lengyel, who was signed as Marshall's football coach in 1971 and tried to rebuild the team with a small amount of surviving teammates.
During my tenure at Marshall, NFL hotshots Chad Pennington, Randy Moss and Byron Leftwich were on the team.
Bongo-playing party boy Matthew will have the best time filming the flick, which will shoot in part on the Marshall campus in Huntington, West Virginia, and the surrounding area.
I can't wait to start hearing about all the Matthew sightings at my posse's former haunts. He should check out Hank's (late-night drinks), Giovanni's (late-night pizza), Icon (late-night music courtesy of Fuller) and, of course, the famed Rebels & Redcoats Tavern, where you can eat, drink and bowl a round next door at Colonial Lanes. Watch out for the Rebels owner though, she's a bit of hellion.
Be sure to tell 'em I sent ya, Matty.
What do babies have to do with it?
It's twins for Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance. The couple, who have been married for eight years, are the proud parents of a boy and girl. The babies were born on January 27 to a surrogate.
Angela, who was nominated for an Oscar for playing Tina Turner in What's Love Got to Do with It? (one of my favorites!), is a mom for the first time at 47. Her husband, who appears on Law & Order: Criminal Intent, is 45.

A flight attendant has come forward to defend Kenny Chesney's sexuality. She says she dated the country crooner for 10 years before he met Renee. "'I taught him everything he knows,'" she bragged. Couldn't have been much, lady -- or Renee wouldn't have ditched him after three months.
It's that time of the year again: It's Razzie time.
The nominees are out for the the Razzie Awards, which "honor" the worst in film, and Tom Cruise is at the top of the list.
Mr. Katie Holmes (War of the Worlds) will go head-to-head with Will Ferrell (Bewitched, Kicking & Screaming), Jamie Kennedy (Son of the Mask), Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson (Doom) and Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo) for worst actor of the year.
The leading ladies vying for the worst actress title are Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four, Into the Blue), Hilary Duff (Cheaper by the Dozen 2, The Perfect Man), Jenny McCarthy (Dirty Love), Tara Reid (Alone in the Dark) and Jennifer Lopez (Monster in Law).
Worst movie contenders are Dukes Of Hazzard, Son of the Mask, House of Wax, Dirty Love and Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo.
Winners will be announced on March 4, the day before the Academy Awards. Last year, Oscar winner Halle Berry showed up at the ceremony where the winners/losers were announced to graciously take her lumps for Catwoman.
Tori Spelling's daddy -- uberproducer Aaron Spelling -- has been a naughty boy.
The TV mogul, who is 82 and very ill, is being accused of groping and demanding sexual favors from a private nurse who cared for him.
Charlene Richards, who took care of the 90210 producer in his Bev Hills manse from November 2004 to April 2005, said he "put his hand on her groin and genital area... grabbed or attempted to grab her breasts... exposed himself... and masturbated," according to papers filed in L.A. Superior Court.
Additionally, Tori's pop offered her money for sex, attempted to kiss her against her will and asked her to perform oral sex on him.
The woman is seeking "unspecified monetary damages" (read: millions and millions) for sexual harassment, sexual battery, wrongful termination and other offenses.
Does this mean he won't be able to drop another $3 million on Tori's next wedding?

Screen Actors Guild Awards 42nd Annual Life Achievement Award
Shirley Temple Black
Also check out our photo gallery of unlikely couples at the award show.
Here's what you missed –- or didn't -– during last night's Screen Actors Guild Awards.
7:36 What's with the ponytails? Charlize Theron, Cheryl Hines, Hilary Swank and Sandra Oh... I wore a ponytail all weekend. Does this mean I'm red-carpet ready?
7:40 My sister to me: "Oh, so that's the guy Geena Davis is married to this year?" Yup -- that's husband number four.
7:45 The consensus is that Ellen Pompeo needs to eat. Maybe someone at the Grey's Anatomy set could set her up with an IV drip?
7:51 Matt Dillon is totally channeling Orville Redenbacher with his itty-bitty bowtie. He's still damn cute.
7:58 Eva Longoria looks like Little Bo Peep. Lose the ringlets, sister.
8:00 There's Kiefer Sutherland. Wonder if he has a flask tucked into his tux pocket...
8:03 Did Anne Hathaway just say "Hi-diddley-dee?" She's so annoying.
8:04 Blink 182... Love Sandy Bullock's dress, but what is with the eye blinking?
8:05 Pint-sized Sean Hayes must be psyched he was paired with Little Bo Peep Eva Longoria. He looks like the Golly Green Giant.
8:09 What's Karl Lagerfeld doing at the show? Oh, it's Ted Danson.
8:19 TelePrompTer breaks 19 minutes into the show. Not a good sign.
8:22 Lost wins best drama. Dominic Monaghan and Naveen Andrews kiss... on the lips. Maybe Dom is the mother of Naveen's love child?
8:26 And the winner of the "She Totally Doesn't Look Pregnant" award goes to Rachel Weisz. Gotta love that empire waist.
8:38 Purple is the new black for the women of Desperate Housewives. Felicity Huffman, Alfre Woodard, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria are all wearing purple or lavender.
8:41 Jason Lee isn't there. Maybe he's still contagious... or maybe he's trying to avoid all the people that he exposed to chicken pox at the Golden Globes.
8:50 Who's the houseboy who accepted the award for Desperate Housewives?
9:03 Jamie Lee Curtis trips down the stairs on her way to present Shirley Temple with the lifetime achievement award. Maybe she's been stealing nips from Kiefer's flask...
9:05 Shirley stumbles on the way to the stage. Again, the flask?
9:15 Jack Nasty (a.k.a. Jake Gyllenhaal) loses to my strange crush Paul Giamatti.
9:34 The best speech of the evening goes to S. Epatha Merkerson. The Lackawanna Blues star ended with "I have to say a public thank you to my divorce lawyer" and let out a huge howl. Somewhere Mr. S. Epatha Merkerson is crying in his beer.
9:37 Angela Bassett is the best-looking mom-to-be ever. She's expecting twins -- via a surrogate -- this spring.
9:41 Heath Ledger acts like an idiot while presenting an award with Jack Nasty.
9:44 Reese accepts her award in a cute vintage number. Wonder who wore that get-up before her. And her chin is just totally freaking me out for some reason. I never noticed just how distinct it is -- a la Jennifer Aniston.
9:47 It looks like Hilary Swank has toilet paper coming out of the top of her dress.
9:52 The second L'Oreal ad of the evening with Heather Locklear comes on. Mental note: Find out the latest on her and Richie Sambora. Also: What's up with Charlize and Stuart Townsend? Stuie was also a no-show at the Golden Globes.
9:56 Morgan Freeman is on the purple train as well. Love. That. Man.
9:57 Crash takes the award for best ensemble cast. Don Cheadle, who is a bit of a mess with a big lipstick kiss on one cheek and a cane -- gives the speech.
10:00 As the show goes off the air, you can hear audio of Ryan Phillippe kissing up to Morgan Freeman. "I always wanted to meet you. You just met Reese, my wife..."
That kid will do anything to get his five minutes of air at an award show.

Jessica Simpson may have rejected Adam Levine last week, but this week it's a different story.
Page Six reports that the other night, while Jess was partying her bootie off with Kirsten Dunst at the Chateau Marmont, she hooked up with Adam Levine. "[Jessica disappeared] into Maroon 5 man-whore Adam Levine's room," reports the tab, "and didn't emerge until the next morning."
The next day, Jessica's BFF/assistant, Cacee Cobb, came to the Marmont, where Adam lives, to pick her up. (Check out her walk of shame photo.)
Also at Marmont, Jude Law -- who split with Sienna Miller last week -- was spotted with a stripper (!) who he met at the Body Shop, a local strip club.
A source tells the gossip column: "He's been going to the Body Shop strip club every night and hanging out with this nasty young brunette -- she is really beat looking."
Point: Sienna Miller.
Brad Pitt always morphs into his girlfriends. Meanwhile, whoa, mama! Angie's bump is big.
I'm off Oprah again. Yesterday, she went totally nutso on James Frey. I get that he lied/exaggerated in his memoir. (For example, he wrote that his ex-girlfriend hanged herself when she actually slit her wrists.) That was totally wrong. But the way she ripped him apart, you'd think he was one of the child molesters or murderers she routinely confronts on her show. The man was shaking. I don't think she cared about his "lies" as much as she cared about her own ratings, which I'm sure were huge.
I'm going to buy A Million Little Pieces today just to piss off Oprah.
Yesterday, Joaquin Phoenix walked the line -- between life and death.
According to People.com, Joaquin was driving on a canyon road above L.A.'a Sunset Strip when his brakes failed and his car completely flipped and crashed into another car.
At about 2:50 p.m. on Thursday, Joaquin was driving near Laurel Canyon when he realized his brakes weren't working, a police spokesperson told People. That's when Joaquin lost control of his car, which overturned and collided with another car that was headed in the same direction.
Amazingly, no one was injured.
Joaquin's spokeswoman said that the Walk the Line star was wearing his seat belt and was able to walk away from the scene after being helped out of his car by a passerby.
Here are some new Page Six blind items. Any ideas?
Which spurned starlet hired a private investigator to tail her philandering boyfriend all around Hollywood after their painful breakup?
Which squeaky-clean former soap actor is battling a secret addiction to crystal meth? The hunky star once checked into Passages rehab in Los Angeles in a failed bid to kick the habit.
As long as American Idol's Clay Aiken (pictured with Hilary Duff) has been a household name, there have been rumors that he's gay. The poor kid even defended his sexuality during a Primetime Live interview with Diane Sawyer in 2003, saying, "I have some very effeminate qualities."
Um, yeah.
Anyway, a former Army Ranger has come forward with his claim that he had a gay sex romp with the Idol superstar earlier this month. Clay's alleged lover was sweet enough to share all the private details with the National Enquirer for a pretty penny. Like what? Well, for one, they had unsafe sex. The slimeball also saved copies of Clay's instant messages (his handle? "valleyprettyboy") as well as a washcloth with Clay's DNA.
Typically, I don't give Clay Aiken a second thought. But I must say I feel bad for him today. The guy has bad taste in men -- and I've been there.

Some sightings from my gosse posse...
Britney Spears in the market for a makeover. Again. The pop tart's publicist tells Us that now that it's been a few months since Mrs. Federline gave birth, she's in "a makeover mode."
The mag reports that Britney is frustrated over her post-baby bod, rocky marriage and stalled career, so she's taking time for herself and she's gearing up for a fresh start.
Experts give Brit advice on how to get back on track. Here are some highlights:
What do you think Britney's next move should be? Should she get a makeover? Ditch Kevin? Take singing lessons and put out a good album? Or do you think this pop tart is past her prime, washed up, a has-been. Dish on all things Britney below...
I love Patrick Dempsey. I rented Can't Buy Me Love all the time as a kid. (When I wasn't watching SJP in Girls Just Want to Have Fun.) I thought Donald/Ronald was the cutest. And I dreamed of saving my babysitting money so that I could buy a suede fringy outfit like the one Cindy Mancini stained with wine.
And although I'm a latecomer to the Grey's Anatomy party, thanks to my DVR I'm all caught up on it now. Obsessed. Patrick is still as McDreamy as he was back in the day.
If you're into Grey's Anatomy -- or just Patrick -- you'll dig this new game: Celebrity Matchmaker: Grey's Filmography. You have to match Dr. McDreamy's pals to the roles they played before they became famous.
So play it -- stat!
Celebs are amazing. The more money they make, the more freebies they take. In Struttin' Their Stuff at Sundance, you'll see stars fast and furiously trying to pocket all the free loot they can get their paws on. It's like Supermarket Sweep! And one cheesy boy bander hit every single giveaway. Perhaps because he's not making money selling CDs? Check it out -- it will give you a laugh.
Although Kate Moss and Sienna Miller are too cool to publicly admit that they hate each other, that definitely seems to be the case.
Since Sienna Miller came on the scene -- as Jude Law's eye candy -- she's been talked up as the next big fashion queen. She's actually on the cover of this month's Vogue. But truth be told, Sienna's style seems to be a blatant rip-off of Kate's looks. As I've said before, Kate did 'em all first and Kate did 'em all better.
Also causing friction? Kate's BFF is Sadie Frost. You know -- Jude's ex-wife.
Anyway, Kate must have been in a snippy mood the other day because, while hanging with some of her model friends in Paris, she was overheard having a laugh at Sienna's expense. The topics? Sienna's magazine covers, her breakup with Jude (Kate laughed) and acting "career."
But if Kate's comments bother Sienna, she isn't admitting it. Besides, she's a little busy cozying up to Hayden Christenesen these days. Us reports that at the wrap party for their film Factory Girl, Hayden "had his hands all over her." When the took the stage for karaoke, he "leaned into her, and it looked like he might be kissing her on the neck. She didn't push him away."
Stay tuned.
Rob Estes, who is divorcing his Melrose Place costar Josie Bissett after almost 14 years of marriage, spoke with Entertainment Tonight about the split.
"[Josie] decided to move on to greener pastures," says Rob, who earned a big following during his run on Silk Stalkings. "I live in Seattle... I moved there because my soon-to-be ex-wife's family lived up there, so we moved up there for the kids. Then after we had been there for two years, we split, but I will stay there because the kids love it."
The couple had a difficult time conceiving their two children, Mason, 6, and Maya, 3. Josie suffered a miscarriage during the fifth season of Melrose. She later wrote a parenting book called Little Bits of Wisdom.
Rob and Josie met during an audition in 1991 and married the following year. For three years they costarred on Melrose.

Look -- Angie's belly is growing.
Brad and Angelina are on the move yet again, and I've found some new pictures of them on their London trip:
In other Brangelina news, Us reports...
Jennifer Aniston has a big date... with Oscar.
The busy star, who's currently schmoozin' at the Sundance Film Festival, will make her very first Academy Awards appearance as a presenter at this year's show.
Since the lights went out on Friends in 2004, Jen has been trying to transition from TV to movies. Two of her flicks were recently released -- Rumor Has It... and Derailed -- but they were widely panned by critics. Next year's Friends with Money is said to be better.
No word yet on The Breakup, which is her movie collaboration with new beau Vince Vaughn. But it's going to be hard to compete with the chemistry between Brad and Angelina in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Wowsers.
Other Oscar presenters include Jamie Foxx, Hilary Swank, Luke Wilson, Jessica Alba and Morgan Freeman.
Gear up for the March 5th event by visiting Oscar headquarters where you'll find Oscar quizzes, games, gossip, fashion and more.
Not only is Richard Hatch guilty of exposing his jiggly bum on national television, he's also guilty of tax evasion.
Earlier today, the original Survivor winner was found guilty by a Rhode Island jury after less than one day of deliberation. He faces up to 13 years in prison and a $600,000 fine.
Dickie's conviction stems from his failure to pay the IRS its portion of his $1 million prize winnings from the show. He was also found guilty of skipping taxes on $327,000 he earned hosting a radio show and another $28,000 in rent on property he owned. He was acquitted of seven additional bank, mail and wire fraud charges.
Naughty, naughty.

Say it ain't so! Page Six reports that Halle Berry, who is in NYC filming Perfect Strangers with Bruce Willis, is hooking up with a Versace model named Gabriel Aubry. What happened to Michael Ealy??? They made such a perfect couple.
Forget Julia Roberts! Sarah Jessica Parker may be Broadway bound -- and her costar could be none other than her hubby Matthew Broderick.
The two-character comedy, called Don't Follow Me, I'm Lost, Too -- inspired by the NY Post -- is about a husband-and-wife gossip columnist team working in NYC. SJP took part in a staged reading of the play on Monday.
I'm so there. But I must say that I'm a tad nervous -- whenever real-life couples work together, they tend to split...
Actor Chris Penn was found dead yesterday at his Santa Monica condo. He was in his early 40s.
Though he's best known as Sean Penn's (pictured with Robin Wright Penn) brother, his acting credits include Footloose, Rush Hour, All the Right Moves and Reservoir Dogs. His latest film, The Darwin Awards, was scheduled to premiere today at Sundance.
"Just as talented as Sean -- just a lot less cocky," Slate magazine critic Cintra Wilson wrote of him last year.

Oh, Jesus!
Kanye West poses as Jesus Christ for an upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. And, of course, the talented egomaniac talks himself up in the cover story.
"In America, they want you to accomplish these great feats, to pull off these David Copperfield-type stunts," he says. "You want me to be great, but you don't ever want me to say I'm great?"
I can't wait to get my hands on that issue so that I can count how many times he says "great" in his interview. You know who he should hook up with? Katie "So Great" Holmes. Obviously not right now while she's wearing the stunt belly, but as soon as her Cruise contract runs out, she should get with Kanye and they can just talk about their "great" lives and their "great" love and lots of other "great" things.
Kevin Federline's biggest fan? Not Britney, Shar or even baby Sean P. His biggest fan is himself. Watch him jam out to his song "PopoZao."
Watch it: Kevin Federline, rapper
For those parties concerned, Eva Longoria is not hoing around with Jamie Foxx. That should make her boyfriend, Tony Parker, happy. However, Sienna Miller may be getting busy with with Anakin Skywalker (a.k.a. Hayden Christensen). Wonder what Jude's best friend Obi-Wan Kenobi (a.k.a. Ewan McGregor) thinks about that.
Kanye: I'm the best.
Pam: Like my boobs?
Kanye: I'm going to win a billion awards tonight.
Pam: Like my boobs?
Please, Celebos, god of Hollywood relationships, shoot an arrow through these two.
Apparently no one told Marcia Cross about the InStyle wedding issue curse. Most of the brides who have posed for that "special" issue have ended up getting divorced -- like Courtney Thorne-Smith, Shannon Elizabeth, Drew Barrymore, Jessica Simpson and Andie MacDowell.
Not that I'm trying to jinx the woman or anything -- I mean, she seems nice enough. I'm sure her marriage is totally going to work out. It's the real deal. Together forever. Everlasting love. Till next summer death do they part...
Two stars from Lost may have found everlasting love.
The buzz is that Dominic Monaghan and Evangeline Lilly are reportedly engaged. According to ContactMusic.com, Dom popped the question to Evie on the Hawaii set of their series last week. Her answer? "Yes, yes, yes!"
FemaleFirst reports that the happy pair are planning to jet to the UK to celebrate their happy news with Dom's family.
Since the pair hooked up in the fall of 2004, they have kept their relationship a closely-guarded secret. Their only appearance together was at the Golden Globes in 2005 -- other than that, they walk the red carpet in groups and won't pose together. However, they are frequently spotted by the paparazzi in Hawaii -- hugging, kissing and all that other cute coupley stuff.
Congrats!
Kevin Federline's first baby mama, Shar Jackson, may say she's over her ex, but she sure doesn't act like it.
According to Page Six, Shar showed up at a birthday party for singer Ray J on Saturday night with -- drumroll, please -- Jason Alexander. No, not Jerry Seinfeld's sidekick. The Jason Alexander who was married to Kevin's wifey Britney Spears for all of about 48 hours a couple years back.
Throughout the party, Shar and Jason put on a major PDA display for the guests. Then, they slipped upstairs to the off-limits bedroom area for a quick tryst. An hour later, the disheveled duo returned to the party -- to the surprise of Ray J's big sister Brandy and her new boyfriend Nick Cannon.
I predict these two star in a reality series or something. The title could be something like Revenge of the D-List Rejects.
Holy extreme makeover!
Have you seen Eminem's wife, Kim, lately? She looks nothing like the bleach blonde, lip-liner lovin' cokehead he married the first go-round. She's stunning. Modelesque. I'm sorta shocked by the whole thing really.
Check out her before and her after photos.
And I should also point out that it looks like Eminem is the one with the bad make-up in their recent wedding photo. Rappers can wear lip gloss without losing street cred?
According to Page Six, the John Stamos show Jake in Progress has been canceled. But don't feel too bad for Rebecca Romijn's ex -- rumor has it that ER is prepping to add him to their cast. He made a guest appearance on that show a few months back.
You may have no interest in the Colin Farrell sex tape. Celeb sex videos? you sigh. They're a dime a dozen. That's cool -- just move along to the next post. (It's about Katie's baby bump. You'll dig it.) This entry is for those of you who, whether you want to admit it or not, are interested in the lusty leprechaun's torrid tape. You know who you are.
Colin's infamous romp with Nicole Narain may have been yanked from the Internet, but I've found the next best thing: the transcript. Let me warn ya, this is one of the best examples of T.M.I. I'm talking play-by-play. It's dirty. But I promise you'll laugh in a "eww gross" way at his bedside manner.
I think my coworker, who forwarded it to me, said it best: "It was like he was talking about eating at IHOP..."
Dig in.
I swear there's something suspicious about Katie's baby bump. One day it's massive, the next day it's minuscule, especially after she first announced she was expecting. The disappearing/reappearing bump has even prompted discussions of it being a stunt belly.
She's not really pregnant, my coworker speculated. It's just part of the contract that she appear pregnant for a little while.
Well, now you can draw your own conclusions. Check out Katie's Bump Timeline, then report your conclusions below.

The most annoying couple in the world -- Jude Law and Sienna Miller -- has uncoupled again. And, no, it has nothing to do with a nanny, housekeeper, butler or chauffer.
According to The Sun, Sienna has dumped Jude again after learning of his plans to rent a house in L.A. with his ex-wife/mother of his three kids, Sadie Frost. That's where Jude will be filming Holiday with Kate Winslet.
When Jude told See-See about his new living situation, the string-bean starlet, who is filming Factory Girl in Louisiana, reportedly went ape crap, ordering her aides to find her a new house in London. She had been living with Jude in his Primrose Hill home -- and that's where all of her belongs are currently.
I'm smelling a Jude/Sadie reconciliation... and I'm kind of happy about it.
That Angelina Jolie is such a trendsetter! Fellow Hollywood star Meg Ryan is said to be thisclose to adopting a baby from China.
Late last year the When Harry Met Sally star reportedly received word that she had been approved to adopt. According to OK!, the final stage of the adoption was set to take place last Friday at the American consulate in China. That's where the baby would receive a visa and a social security number.
After the process is complete, Meg and her new daughter will return to Los Angeles, where she lives with her teenage son, Jack. Jack's dad is Meg's ex-husband, Dennis Quaid.
Meg joins a long list of celebrities who have adopted children. In addition to baby mama Jolie, there's Nicole Kidman, Sharon Stone, Edie Falco, Calista Flockhart, Hugh Jackman and many, many more.
Update: It's confirmed. Meg Ryan has a new daughter. Congrats!
Jason Lee can scratch something off his own list: chicken pox! The My Name Is Earl has been diagnosed with the pox, so the series has been temporarily shutdown until he recovers.
Something I don't get? How celebs drop so much money on their cars yet said cars seem to break down all the time. I've seen pics of the paparazzi pushing Jennifer Love Hewitt's Mini Cooper and helping Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. Over the weekend, photogs assisted Britney Spears and her brother when their Ferrari (!) died. Maybe they should drop their cash on cars that work instead of cars that look good. And signing up for AAA wouldn't hurt either.
Apparently Naomi Watts isn't looking for a new man. Over the weekend the Aussie star was photographed with her boyfriend Liev Schreiber at the airport.
Janet Jackson is catching a lot of flack for putting on a few pounds. Well, more than a few actually -- over 40 lbs. Over the weekend the New York Daily News wrote a whole big, long article about her weight gain. Give a girl a break, huh? I'm sure she'll be back in a bikini -- tapping her behind -- in no time.
Diane Keaton blogs about turning 60 and not being a victim of love.
Let's try to figure out these blind items from today's Page Six:
Drew Barrymore crashed Saturday Night Live over the weekend to poke fun at her boobacious display at last week's Golden Globes. Outfitted with very large, very fake breasts, she interrupted Tina Fey and Amy Poehler during the Weekend Update segment and jokingly blasted them for making fun of her "Golden Globes."
It's not too much of a surprise Drew turned up on SNL. Her longtime boyfriend Fabrizio Moretti and his band the Strokes were the music talent for the night.
Just got back from Vermont. I was hanging with some of my best friends -- and doing a little skiing. No Kennedy football on the slopes for me, I'm pretty much a beginner... and it was really icy because of the warm weather. But I was rockin' my new ski gear, so I was snowplowing in style, which would make Isaac Mizrahi so insanely happy that he'd probably try to cop a feel.
Anyway, here are a few stories to get your day started:
As soon as I slather on some Bengay, I'll be back with more dish.
A little weekend reading for ya. Enjoy!
Again, sorry for deleting those posts. I'm in a Friday fog.
No shocker here: Paris Hilton is not that smart. She didn't know that London is in the United Kingdom. She thought Douglas is a Greek surname. And she said that the only language spoken in Europe is French. Read her recent deposition.
Drew Barrymore is on the cover of the new Vogue. But is she wearing undergarments? After the whole Golden Globes droopfest, let's hope so. In other Drew news, Page Six reports on her sexcapades in the bathroom of an opera house with Fabrizio Moretti. She's still a wild child.
Jared Leto has porked out to play John Lennon murderer Mark David Chapman -- opposite his GF Lindsay Lohan -- in what promises to be one of the worst films ever, Chapter 27. He reportedly put on 40 lbs, though it doesn't look like it here. But now maybe all those stupid starlets will stop trying to get with him for a little. Personally, skinny or fat, I just don't see his appeal.
Angelina must not be on bedrest after all. Here she is -- back in Los Angeles -- showing off the Jolie-Pitt baby bump. For more bumps, look here and here.
The dysfunction between Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston will continue!
Bobby tells People.com that the rumors of a split are false. But how exactly did those rumors get started?
"I really couldn't tell you," Bobby said. "They say I said something about it, but I joke a lot. ... I don't think I said it, but if I did it was a joke. Trust me... It's someone that got the words mixed up."
Oh, right -- I know lots of couples who "joke" and tell people they're getting divorced.
Regardless, I'm going to sleep better tonight knowing that this great love is still strong. (Cue: "And I Will Always Love You.")
Long live Bobby and Whitney!
This ad for Diddy's new fragrance, Unforgivable, is apparently causing quite the stir. (Click for larger view.) Retailers across the country are refusing to display this photo of Diddy in bed with two woman, which gives the impression that they may have just -- gasp -- had sex. Estee Lauder, the company that puts out the fragrance, even made the Didster reshoot a new "store-friendly" ad. The original will still be used in mags and billboards.
Of all the ads out there, I really can't believe that they're making such a big deal about this one. I mean, some of the old Candies ads I thought were tasteless -- people sitting on the toilet going to the bathroom. And then there was that whole Gucci body hair ad a few years back. To me, this is pretty much business as usual. Just wanted to see what you all think. Do you find this offensive? If so, tell me why...
Here are two new blind items from today's Page Six. Post your guesses below...
It's Jolie-Pitt. Maddox Jolie-Pitt.
Earlier today in a Los Angeles courtroom, a judge approved Angelina Jolie's name-change request, giving both my main man Maddox and little Zahara the last name Jolie-Pitt.
Last month, "Brad Dad" filed papers to legally adopt Angelina's two little kiddies. This name change is one step more in the process.
It's been a wild year for Brangelina. After falling for each other on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Brad ended his troubled marriage to Jennifer Aniston in January 2005. Brad and Angie first went public last spring when they were "accidentally" photographed together on a remote beach in Kenya. Since then they've been inseparable -- playing with the kids, riding motorcycles, taking flying lessons and traveling the globe on goodwill missions. Last week they confirmed they're expecting a baby.
Whew! And I thought I had a busy year.
If Denzel Washington is having an affair, it's not with his Out of Time costar Sanaa Lathan.
In the February issue of Vibe, Sanaa denies her rumored romp with Denzel, saying "[The rumor] got started because the movie had a love scene with Denzel, and people took that and translated it to real life. They said I was pregnant with Denzel's child, and people were calling my mother, saying I'm having his baby. It's frustrating. People are going to talk no matter what."
Earlier this week, a story broke that Denzel and his wife of 22 years, Paulette, were talking divorce because he is a "serial cheater." His affair with Sanaa is said to be the final straw.
Poor Denzel. Love him.
Are Bobby Brown and Whitney Houston no longer singing their duet "[We've Got] Something in Common"?
Stud muffin Bobby was recently out on the town -- at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut -- flirting with a bunch of women. No big surprise there. What was shocking was that one of the women asked him, "What's up with your wife?" Bobby replied: "We ain't together no more. We're getting a divorce."
Sounds like something Bobby would say, right?
During their 14+ years together, the duo -- initially thought to be mismatched -- made headlines for their domestic battles, legal troubles and love of blow. (I'll never forget Whit's "crack is wack" rant.) Whitney, who was the golden girl of the entertainment industry when they first hooked up, went from being an angelic-voiced siren to a sickly looking wash-up. Her last film was 1996's The Preacher's Wife; her last album was a Christmas compilation in 2003.
Last year, the couple allowed Bravo to tape their dysfunctional relationship for a reality series called Being Bobby Brown. The show was pretty amusing, but in a "I'm watching a train wreck" sorta way. Whitney really used to be such a superstar, but there she was talking about how Bobby helped relieve her constipation. It involved his fingers. TMI!
My question here is: Did anyone really think they would last? I'm guessing the answer is "Hell to the no."
It's the real-life version of Samantha and Smith!
Over a year ago there were rumors that Kim Cattrall was robbing the cradle with a Canadian chef -- 23 years her junior -- named Alan Wyse. At the time, Kim denied they were dating and the rumors dried up -- sorta like poor Samantha's sex drive when she was going through chemo. (Remember that storyline?) Well, Kim's no longer hiding her romance. She and Alan stepped out at a Knicks game on January 11 in NYC. Us Weekly runs a photo of them cuddling courtside in their 1/30 issue.
This hot affair is a case of life imitating art. Sex and the City fans will remember that when the show went off the air Samantha ended up with a much younger actor/model named Smith. Smith was played by hottie Jason Lewis, who is now dating Rosario Dawson.
"I found a lot of guys were absolutely terrified of me," 49-year-old Kim has said. "Younger men weren't. They've got plenty of adventure. The perception is that I'm going to be something in the bedroom they can't compete with, but it's their loss. Only the brave apply."
I'm sure Samantha would give Kim a thumbs up.
Four Weddings and a Funeral star Andie MacDowell is working on wedding number three.
The southern belle, who ended her second marriage in October 2004, recently became engaged to a suit named Kevin Geagan. The couple met in Asheville, N.C., where they both live.
Andie was also previously married to Paul Qualley, the father of her three children, for 13 years before they split in 1999.
When Andie gets hitched again, her new family will be like the Brady Bunch. In addition to her three children, her fiance has three kids of his own. Full house, right?
No wedding date has been set at this point. But if you miss the marriage when it happens, don't worry. I have a feeling she's destined for four.
Thanks but no thanks, love bug.
I think that's what I would say if I was Katie Holmes and I opened a birthday gift from my egomaniac boyfriend Tom Cruise and realized he gave me a custom-designed DVD collection of every single movie he's ever made.
I'd probably even snap: You call that a gift? And storm out of the room like Sami Brady from Days of Our Lives would do.
Here's the whole story... According to the New York Times -- oops, I mean the ever more reliable National Enquirer -- that's exactly what Tom gave Katie as part of her 27th birthday gift. Each DVD was inscribed with a special "love message" to his baby mama. So why did he do it? He was "deeply touched" when Katie told him she watched all his movies as a young girl... and dreamed of someday marrying him.
Double gag.
Hope you're sitting down for this one.
The New York Daily News says that Kate Moss was all over -- drumroll, please -- Jack Osbourne yesterday morning at Teddy's, which is an after-hours club in Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.
Starlets Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson and Jessica Simpson were all reportedly "aghast" as they watched the the mother of one -- who turned 32 the other day -- bust a move on the newly trim 20-year-old son of Ozzy and Sharon.
As creeped out as I am, I guess this is a step up from the crackhead.
For now, Jessica Simpson will not be loved by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine.
Although Jess is said to have hooked up with Adam while she was married to Nick Lachey, the pop tart blew him off the other night, according to Page Six.
Adam -- who's had a host of Hollywood ladies from Paris Hilton to Kirsten Dunst -- tried to get his paws on Jessica again on Monday night, but she turned him down. Jess and her new BFF Eva Mendes were boozin' at the Chateau Marmont in H-wood when Adam "came running over, pulled up a chair and insinuated himself into their conversation."
What did Jess, who is trying to salvage her reputation, do? She made a "speedy exit."
She probably made a speedy exit to his apartment... but for just a moment I'd like to think that she turned the man slut down.
More embarassing than having your husband scream at people during the Golden Globes? Finding out that the "vintage" dress you're wearing is actually three years old and a Kirsten Dunst cast-off.
Although Chanel told Reese Witherspoon's handlers that the silver and white frock she wore was from their vintage collection, the best actress winner later found out that it was only three years old. Worse yet? Kirsten Dunst wore the very same dress to Globes after-parties in 2003.
Oopsie!
Reese's mouthpiece is said to be so peeved for lying to her, she's vowing not to let any of her clients -- like J.Lo and Renee Zellweger -- accept anything from Chanel again.
In an effort to boost ratings, the Miss America pageant will feature seven has-beens "celebrity judges" to rate the competition on Saturday night. They are:
1. Leeza Gibbons
2. Malcolm in the Middle star Jane Kaczmarek
3. Miss America 1985 Sharlene Wells Hawkes
4. Brian McKnight
5. Fashion commentator Robert Verdi
6. Football star Jerry Rice
7. Desperate Housewives narrator Brenda Strong
In short, seven reasons not to waste my time watching that.
Holly Hunter is starring in a double feature: The actress is a first-time mother of twins at the age of 47.
"She had the babies," Holly's spokesperson tells People.com. "They are happy and healthy."
No other information was provided, but the father of the babies is Holly's boyfriend, Gordon MacDonald.
There's a major baby boom in Hollywood right now. At the Golden Globes the other night, numerous top stars were showing off their baby bumps. (See Globe Baby Bump Watch.) To keep tabs on who's expecting, check out the Celebrity Baby Tracker.
Lately I feel like all I write about are celebrity splits. Or stories about stars cheating. Love children. Partner swapping. Ahhh!
I loved looking through all the photos from last night's Golden Globe Awards because there seemed to be so many happy couples. Sure, Hilary Swank was flying solo for the first time after her recent split from Chad Lowe. (She actually told E! not to count them out. "I'm trying to save my marriage," she offered. Refreshing.) But there were a lot of hand-holdin', bussin', stars in love.
Check out Heath & Michelle, Johnny & Vanessa, Rosario Dawson & Jason Lewis and more in 12 Golden Couples at the Golden Globes.
Sure, happy couples aren't as fun to make fun of. But sometimes you just need a helping of happiness now and then.
Some thoughts about last night's Golden Globes...

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.
According to People.com, Brittany Murphy is engaged to her production assistant boyfriend Joe Macaluso. Joe popped the question over the holidays and gave Britt a bauble from Tiffany.
Brittany tried the whole engagement thing before. She was briefly engaged to talent wrangler Jeff Kwatinetz. After things soured between them, she hooked up with Joe on the set of Little Black Book.
Hopefully they'll make it to Just Married.
I'm hopelessly addicted to award shows. I'm the person who starts watching the red-carpet coverage at like noon. (Oops -- look at the time. Gotta run...) I tape E! while I watch the network pre-show, then flip around to see if anyone is covering it live. After the show, I'll stay up all night watching the pressroom coverage. I don't know why I like award shows so much -- the fashion? the faux pas? to see who arrives together? -- I just do.
So you can bet I'm geared up for tonight's Golden Globes. And to get your in the award show spirit, here are some stories to help you get your Globe on:
Be back later to dish on the show!
Pretend I'm an unfunny Tina Fey and Amy Poehler with this little weekend update...
Things between Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston aren't as friendly as reports may indicate.
According to one of Jen's mouthpieces, there's no truth to the rumors that Brad called his ex-wife to let her know he's expecting a baby with Angelina Jolie.
"All the reports about phone calls between Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are all made-up lies," Stephen Huvane told Extra yesterday.
I'm sorta relieved to hear that. I don't know any divorced couples who are still pals. All the ones I know basically hate each other. While it's nice to remain on good terms -- like Bruce Willis and Demi Moore do for the kids -- I really think that's the exception rather than the rule.
Then there's this story, which shoots my theory to crap:
Kenny & Renee: Together and "Still Friends."
It's shoe leather express for Lost star Cynthia Watros. Well, it's probably chauffer-driven SUV express -- this is Hollywood we're talking about, right?
The actress, who is a mama of two, lost her license for 90 days after pleading guilty to drunk driving charges. In addition to losing her license over the incident -- which took place in Hawaii last month -- Cyn must pay a fine of $370, undergo alcohol assessment and receive 14 hours of counseling.
Now it really makes me wonder what's gonna happen to Michelle Rodriguez, who was also arrested for boozin' and cruisin' the same night. Cynthia had no prior charges and Michelle, well, she has a bunch. I so bet she's getting jail time. She entered a not guilty plea and has a trial in March.
Wouldn't it be absolutely fab if Scarlett Johansson makes fun of Lindsay Lohan this weekend when she hosts Saturday Night Live? You know what they say about payback. Memo to self: DVR SNL.
So Posh Spice and Katie Holmes are friends, huh? I bet there's a lot of stimulating conversation there. "Amazing!" Giggle, giggle. "Great!" Giggle, giggle. "Shoes!" Giggle, giggle.
According to Us Weekly, George Clooney and Teri Hatcher recently had dinner in what may -- or may not -- have been a date. One thing we know for sure, there was no sex in the driveway at the end of the night.
Note to Jesse Metcalfe: Make an appointment with your optometrist. It's been way too long. According to Us Weekly, the Desperate Housewives hunk hooked up with mean, nasty, rotten Kimberly Stewart.
Adam Levine from Maroon 5 is the big man on the Hollywood campus right now. He's been linked to Maria Sharapova, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Vanessa Minnillo and now he's reportedly dating Kirsten Dunst. "He's a jerk, but these girls are eating it up," a source tells Us. "He has a different actress at his place every night." At least he's hot.
Which brings me to Nicole Richie... Not only is Nic losing weight, she's losing her mind. She was seen cuddling up to Jackass star Steve-O the other night. Don't get me wrong, Steve-O sure seems fun to party down with, but this is the kid who pierced his butt cheeks together on national television. You can do better, girl.
Ted Casablanca, who reported that Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow split, maintains that while there's definitely trouble in paradise, they still may be together. Ted says that Lance and Sheryl had problems around the holidays, prompting Lance to tell more than one buddy that things were over and he was out. But Lance's beloved mother, Linda, is apparently a huge Sheryl fan and helped smooth things over -- for now. Lance's mouthpiece said: "We do not comment on our clients' personal lives, but I can assure you that [breakup rumors are] totally false." Where there's smoke...
Ted also says that Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake are officially engaged. It reportedly happened after they returned home from their ski trip in Telluride, Colorado. "Justin didn't get down on his knee," said Ted's source. "They were just talking about it and were kind of like, 'Yep, let's do it.' He didn't give her a ring, and she's still not wearing one. But she is squealing, like, all the time."
7th Heaven's Beverley Mitchell and her longtime boyfriend, Michael Cameron, are engaged, according to People.com. Michael popped the question on New Year's Eve in Colorado. They plan to wed next year. Congrats to them both. She seems like a nice girl.
How does actress Katherine Heigl of Grey’s Anatomy spend her time away from work? Perhaps trying to lure singer/songwriter boyfriend Josh Kelley away from the computer. Apparently he's a passionate eBay user -- so much so, that he's written a song inspired by the online auction company (!) and its "it" advertising tagline. The song, "Get with It," is now on iTunes. Hmmm... not exactly a crazy love song, is it, Katherine?
Despite talk of a bust up, Us Weekly says Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell are apparently still together. The couple, who got engaged in September, had a romantic dinner for two at Sonoma Valley, California's El Dorado Kitchen on December 27. They snuggled, shared food -- the whole nine yards.
Supermodel Carolyn Murphy may have been blessed with great genes, but her taste in men? The pits! Page Six says her ex-husband was arrested on extortion charges after he tried to sell the sex tape the former couple made on their 17-day honeymoon in Barbados.
And I have great news for all the single ladies out there. David Hasselhoff is getting divorced! After 16 years of marriage, the former Baywatch star decided it's time to fly solo again. Don't all mail him panties at once.
Yuck! Ick! Nasty! Sorry -- I just grossed myself out too.
Whoever represents Sienna Miller needs to get fired. Immediately.
The pretty little actress just keeps putting her foot in her mouth. (See exhibits A and B.) What ridiculousness has she spewed lately? Well, in February's Interview she basically threatens the nanny that her former fiance/current boyfriend Jude Law slept with.
"I'm quite looking forward to the day when our paths will cross, which I know they will," said See-See about babysitter Daisy Wright. "She better live in fear."
Then she added: "I just hope she doesn't run into me in a dark alley."
Jeez! Here's some advice, Sienna, gal to gal. Pull yourself together. You sound totally nutso. How's this for a plan: Instead of threatening the life of the diaper changer, why don't you resolve your lingering issues with Jude. You know Jude, don't ya, love. He's that cute Brit with the receding hairline... who sleeps on the other side of your bed!
What's wrong with th
