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.
Watch it: Actor Chris Penn found dead
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...
Check out our Best & Worst at the Golden Globes slide show.

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 this girl? She forgives the babysitter banger, who was in a committed relationship, and blames the only person in the equation who was single. Puh-leez. Daisy Wright didn't owe Sienna Miller anything -- but See-See's fiance did. So she needs to be channeling that anger in the right direction -- at Jude!
And, Daisy, if you're listening, I do think what you did was pretty trampy. But no need to hire a bodyguard, buy a pitbull or invest in a can of mace over these threats. Sienna is all of 95 lbs. soaking wet. You could defend yourself by blowing on her. Or, better yet, try lobbing a billiard ball at her. Heard you love pool...
This morning I told you that Lindsay Lohan scrawled a nasty message about Scarlett Johansson on the bathroom wall of a NYC bar. Well, check out Lindsay's work of art, courtesy of Gawker.
And the message was a little more detailed than first reported. In fact, she wrote:
"Scarlett is a bloody [female body part] / L / Peace and love / [illegible] / f---er"
I've been trying to figure out why Lindsay suddenly hates Scarlett so much. Here are some reasons I came up with:
1. Scarlett has Josh Hartnett. He's pretty hot.
2. Scarlett has bigger boobs. The coke/bulimia shrunk Lindsay's.
3. Scarlett's dad isn't in prison and her producer mom isn't competing with her for the limelight. Don't think I've even ever seen them.
4. Scarlett has talent. Herbie vs. Lost in Translation
5.
Oh, wait. I realized what it has to be: Jared Leto. Jared worked his "magic" on both young ladies. Lindsay is reportedly still dating him and they're currently making a movie together.
Should have known. Girl drama always has to do with the boys!
New BFFs Lindsay Lohan and Kate Moss have been hanging in NYC lately. Hmmm -- wonder what they have in common.
One sighting had them at the Dark Room during the Tarts of Pleasure DJ set. They were both chain smoking, and Lindsay borrowed a Sharpie from someone to write "Scarlett is a [female body part]" on the wall of the bathroom. Classy.
Oh, it gets better.
Page Six reports that the duo also went to Scores. That's where things got c-r-a-z-y. They were pole-dancing, kissing and caressing each other for a room filled with "400 slack-jawed male patrons"... Well, just read the whole story in Page Six.
They make me feel like a Girl Scout.
One of my very favorite things to do? Come up with baby name suggestions for celebrities. See Britney, TomKat and Gwyneth.
So let's have a go with it for Brad and Angelina's bundle of joy, shall we?
Do you think they should go the traditional route, choosing Brad Jr. or James (after Angie's former lover brother, James Haven)? Should they pick a Hollywood baby name like Coco, Apple or Moxie Crimefighter? Or maybe something simple like Bill, Bob, Jane or Kate -- that kid's life is gonna be complicated as it is, right?
Share your suggestions for baby Brangelina below and let's see what we come up with.

Ellen just ran a new interview with TomKat, who she (baby) bumped into in Vegas. They told her that they don't have a name picked out, nor have they started any birthing classes yet. They need to get on it -- Katie's getting biiig. For more on Katie's pregnancy -- and Angelina's too --check out our Celebrity Baby Tracker.
Apparently Dave Grohl has been cheating on me.
The Foo Fighters frontman is expecting a baby. His bandmate, Taylor Hawkins, slipped during an interview with MTV.com and revealed that Dave's wife of two years, Jordyn Blum, will be having a baby this spring.
"We're going to be touring Europe in January and February, but we've got be home by March, because Dave and his wife are having a baby," Taylor said, "But I probably wasn't supposed to tell you that."
Oopsie! This is the first baby for Dave Grohl, whose first marriage to Jennifer Youngblood ended in 1995. He's also been linked to Winona Ryder.

For the record, it's Ice-T. Ice Cube's been doing movies -- Barbershop, Are We There Yet?, etc.
Former Sabrina the Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart is now a mommy!
According to People.com, Melis and her musician husband, Mark Wilkerson, welcomed a baby boy earlier today. It is their first child.
The little fella, who they named Mason Walter (cute!), was born at 4:19 p.m. in L.A. He weighed in at 9 lbs.
The actress had a difficult labor, telling People.com: "He was a little stubborn, but all is well. Everyone is well and we are all relieved."
Now Melissa really has some magic in her life. Congrats!

You probably don't want to hear about anything other than Angelina Jolie's pregnancy, however there's some other news in the entertainment world...
So that is a little baby bump growing on Angelina Jolie, at least as far as People magazine is shouting on a new cover. "Yes, I'm Pregnant," the coverline reads. A direct quote? Probably not, but as a paraphrase that's been good enough to get the news everywhere. The article goes on to say that Jolie actually told the news to a charity worker in the Dominican Republic, not to any reporter of any kind. The worker was kind enough to then share the information with the world. People says reps for both Jolie and Brad Pitt, who is the father, by the way, confirmed the news. The baby is due in the summer. And just when Jennifer Aniston was getting back to normal...
Mornin',
I'm going to get a late start on Wednesday because I've been up late putting together a photo spread on last night's People's Choice Awards. Did ya see it? The highlight had to be George Lopez humiliating the crap out of Jessica Simpson.
In an "Oh no he didn't" moment, George took the stage and didn't stick to the script. Instead, he said: "The producers wanted me to apologize that Nick Lachey couldn't be here tonight but we had enough seat fillers."
The camera panned over to Jessica Simpson, who was in the front row with her parents on either side of her. She tried with all her might not to laugh or smile. Her mom definitely smiled, then turned her head so the camera wouldn't see her. They all shifted uncomfortably as the camera stayed on them. It was bad.
Then George started in how bad Dukes of Hazzard was. Papa Joe so wasn't happy. Then, out of the blue, Jess started clapping and cheering -- sorta like when Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing and started the hoedown dance. Nervous reaction I guess.
I dog Jessica all the time, but I felt so bad for her. She was such a good sport for going to the show, presenting, performing, etc. when all this drama is going on in her life. For George to do that was so wrong. And to have the camera fixed on her waiting for her reaction was bad.
But of course I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. It was fabulous in a horrible way.
Here's the slide show, so check out what you missed last night.
And here are a couple of tasty nuggets to tide you over until later. I'm off to bed now.
Mr. Blackwell thinks Britney Spears is the worst celeb fashion offender of 2005.
"When it comes to Couture Chaos, this Tacky Terror should take a bow," griped Mr. B, who especially hated her maternity wear. "From the 'Princess of Pop' to the ultimate 'Fashion Flop!'"
Here's the complete list:
1. Britney Spears
2. Mary-Kate Olsen
3. Jessica Simpson
4. Eva Longoria
5. Mariah Carey
6. Paris Hilton
7. Anna Nicole Smith
8. Shakira
9. Lindsay Lohan
10. Renee Zellweger

I'm almost positive that the Lance Armstrong and Sheryl Crow rumors are true, folks.
I was supposed to interview Sheryl tomorrow about her Wildflower album. Sheryl has said that the album is inspired by Lance. She dedicated it to him. She's said that some of the tracks are about his children.
A few months ago, I went to her concert in NYC. Lance came onstage to give her a guitar -- and a kiss. She mentioned him during the show about five times. She was wearing white and referred to it as her wedding dress.
My point? Sheryl loves to talk about Lance. So much so that when he was picked as one of the most fascinating people of 2005, she sat in on his interview with Barbara Walters and she talked about how hot she thinks he is. She did the same on Oprah.
Back to my interview... It was supposed to be tomorrow. Five minutes ago, I got an email from the publicist setting it up who said, in part: "Also, I am under very strict direction from management that there can be no questions regarding Lance whatsoever. This must be about her and her music."
Huh? Isn't this album about him? How can I not ask any questions about him? In this case, he is the music. So I said thanks, but no thanks.
There's something about the timing of all of this. For the last two years she's been going on and on about Lance. Yesterday, Ted Casablanca says they're secretly done. Today, she suddenly won't talk about him.
And I'm tired of celebs who use their relationships to sell a product -- whether it's Sheryl selling this CD or when Nick and Jessica were selling Newlyweds -- and then think they can turn their personal life on or off like a switch. If Sheryl didn't want to answer questions about Lance, she never should have made an album about him or used their relationship as a marketing tool.
According to the buzz, the reason Hilary Swank and Chad Lowe split is the same reason why Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey ended their marriage: fame!
The NY Daily News says "doomsayers have been predicting the marriage's demise for some time." Why? Two-time Oscar winner Hilary had gotten too powerful for Chad, who is a C-list star at best.
"It's been hard for Chad to live in her shadow," a source told Rush & Molloy. "He's gotten tired of being Mr. Hilary Swank."
Last year, the game-lovin' couple were set to co-produce five episodes of Celebrity Charades for the American Movie Classics channel. Originally, they were going to appear in the special with their stars friends. But Hilary ended up being too busy filming the Black Dahlia, so she bowed out and Chad produced and starred in the lame episodes himself. She also took a producer credit, but reportedly had nothing to do with the show at all. That was said to be another nail in the coffin.
I wonder if she's going to start dating a Hollywood guy now. Play matchmaker for her below.
Like Ashley Judd, I've been a lifelong University of Kentucky basketball fan. That's where my parents met as college students, so out of the womb my sisters and I were rockin' the Wildcats gear -- and listening to stories of all the UK greats. (Thanks, Dad!) But last night, for the first time in my life, I wasn't rooting for "my" team. Josh Lucas had me pulling for Texas Western in his new movie, Glory Road.
Glory Road is based on the true story of Texas Western coach Don Haskins -- portrayed by Josh -- who is said to have revolutionized basketball by playing the first all-black starting lineup in the NCAA championships in 1966. And who did this team of trailblazers go head-to-head against? The University of Kentucky. That unforgettable game is the climax of Glory Road.
You don't have to be a big basketball fan to enjoy this movie, but I think it will up there with the great sports movies of all time. And, no, I'm not talking about Waterboy -- I'm talking about Hoosiers and Rudy.
Today is the day we're going to win, win, win..." Oops – sorry. I loved Rudy.
While I watched Glory -- which also stars Jon Voight, Derek Luke, Emily Deschanel, Tatyana Ali (from Fresh Prince!) and a bunch of really talented newcomers -- I felt like I was courtside watching a real game. You get sucked into it. I mean, people in the theater were clapping, cheering and yelling (!) at the screen. In fact, after the movie, my sister Laura said that the only thing she felt was missing was a cold beer.
There's more to the story than lay-ups and rebounds. You get a real look at the racism and segregation that occured in this country during that time period, which wasn't all that long ago. And, in true Disney fashion, there are a lot of warm-fuzzy themes like friendship, teamwork and discipline.
In short? A total slam-dunk. And I really didn't expect it to be.
After more than eight years of marriage, Hilary Swank and her personal cheerleader, Chad Lowe, have separated.
Their spokesperson confirms the split saying, "Hilary and Chad have decided to separate, but they are hopeful they'll be able to get through this tough time."
No reason was given for their split.
New Yorkers Hilary and Chad tied the knot in September 1997 -- back when an Academy Award was a far-off dream for the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star. When Hil won her first lead actress Oscar in 2000, her husband was in the front row, crying like a baby. Although she forgot to thank him in her speech, she made up for it when she won again in 2005 and called him her "everything."
They have no children.

The Calabasas, California house that Nick and Jessica lived in while filming Newlyweds is on the market. If you have $3.75 million, it's yours. Sadly, Nick Lachey is not included in the price tag.
Has Lance Armstrong pedaled off without Sheryl Crow?
In today's the Awful Truth, Ted Casablanca says that Lance broke off his engagement to Sheryl shortly before Christmas.
"He was a cad," one of Lance's relatives told Teddy about the Tour de France winner. "And Lance's family is trying to get him to change his mind; that's why [the news] hasn't gotten out yet."
But if they have split, Sheryl isn't confirming it. In a new interview with People over the weekend, the songstress talks about getting engaged to Lance, their wedding plans and what it's like loving his three children.
However, Sheryl also tells People that "there's always a little bit of truth" in tabloid stories.
Could the "little bit of truth" here be that they're a little bit finito?
In a story you'd think had to be scripted in Hollywood, Lost star Naveen Andrews, who has been living with his actress/girlfriend Barbara Hershey since 1999, admits that he fathered a love child last year.
Apparently Naveen, who plays former Iraqi Republican Guardsman Sayid, was briefly separated from Babs last year. During that time he met a young student in New York and he would fly her to Hawaii, where Lost films, for trysts. Shortly after, Naveen called it quits with the co-ed and reconciled with the Beaches star, whom he has credited with helping him kick addictions to alcohol and heroin.
According to the National Enquirer, Naveen's fling gave birth to his son on November 28 in Los Angeles and named him Naveen Joshua Andrews. After he confirmed the child was his by taking a DNA test, Naveen allowed his publicist to go public with this whole saga in a press statement.
"For a short period, Naveen Andrews and Barbara Hershey were quietly separated. During that time, Andrews had a sexual encounter with a woman. He has just learned that he is the biological father of her baby boy. Andrews has every intention of assuming appropriate responsibility for the child and proceeding with all integrity in this matter. Hershey and Andrews have long since worked things out and remain committed to their relationship."
We'll see how committed they are later this month at the Golden Globe Awards. Naveen is nominated for his work on Lost, so Barbara is expected to be by his side on the red carpet like she was in September at the Emmys.
And don't think that this is the first scandalous love child for the Naveen. The National Enquirer also says that as a 16-year-old boy, Naveen slept with his married school teacher, who gave birth to his son Jaisal, who is now 13.
Pink and Carey Hart got hitched earlier today in Costa Rica.
Over 100 guests -- including Pink's friend Lisa Marie Presley -- gathered on a secluded area of beach at the Four Seasons resort at sunset for the candlelight ceremony.
Pink, who walked down the aisle to Billy Joel's "She's Always a Woman," wore a cream dress and no shoes. Her hair is back to blonde -- from blue! -- and had pink highlights.
Us Weekly says that during Pink's tearful vows she said, "'I love you because I let you hold my heart and you haven't broken it.'"
Pink, whose real name is Alecia Moore, met Carey at the X Games in 2001. Although they split briefly in 2003, they've been one of the more stable Hollywood couples. Carey even Punk'd Pink in a memorable episode.
Last June, Pink proposed to Carey while the motocross star was in a race in Mammoth Lakes, California. As he made laps around the track, she held up a sign that read: "Will You Marry Me?" Not taking her seriously, Carey continued to race until he noticed she flipped the sign and changed her message to "I'm serious!" He promptly drove right off the track, quitting the race, to accept Pink's proposal. He later gave her a 5-carat diamond.
In October, it was rumored they tied the knot in Vegas, which is Carey's hometown. But I guess they were holding off for this beachy keen affair.
Carey, who owns a Vegas tattoo parlor, plans to tattoo his new bride's name on his ring finger. The couple already both have "Tru Luv" on their wrists.
Sounds like it's the real thing. Congrats!

Adding fuel those pregnancy rumors, Angelina Jolie was photographed wearing black yet again yesterday when she took a walk with Zahara. (For those of you keeping track, she's been photographed wearing only black for three weeks now.) Either she's pregnant or now she's just messing with everyone, which is totally possible. If I were in her motorcycle boots, that's probably what I'd do just to make people wonder.
First I had to read about Nick's shoe fetish. Now, Star Jones shares intimate details about her sex life in an apparent attempt to disprove rumors her husband, Al Reynolds, is gay. The excerpt from her new book -- Shine -- appears on People.com. Prepare to be nauseous...
"The first time he held me in his arms sexually, it was almost frightening because we knew our erotic interest in each other could take over every other thing," writes Star. So we had an intoxicatingly sexual connection the first two months of our relationship."
At the two-month mark, their relationship was so hot that they decided to consult the person who every hot-and-heavy couple talks to about their sex life: their pastor! The spiritual advisor suggested that they stay celibate until they married.
"It wasn't an easy decision," she reveals. "Al is a beautiful man. He's got the legs of a stallion. He'd be a perfect Ralph Lauren model."
And she goes on to say that she doesn't entertain the gay rumors: "One day we would read in the press that Al was out gallivanting with a bunch of women. The next day, we'd read a story questioning his sexuality. I remember my husband saying to me, 'Baby, what am I today?' And me answering, 'Just who you were yesterday, baby.' The attacks on the nature of our relationships never bothered me because I knew this man."
Star also discusses her dramatic weight loss -- 150 lbs and counting -- but won't 'fess up to having gastric bypass surgery.
"I will not be the poster child for a particular method," she tells People in an interview. However, she admits "a medical intervention" helped her "jump-start" her weight loss. An although she won't reveal her current weight, Al says, "I think maybe the two-piece is coming out this summer!"
What a horrible, horrible thought.
Hilary Duff has finally said something smart. The pop tart says that she's not marrying boyfriend Joel Madden anytime soon. Thank God -- she's 18. The girl couldn't even drink at her own wedding.
Kevin Federline, the delinquent dashing husband of Britney Spears, has a new album to promote, so the pimp daddy is on a publicity tour telling lies about how "wonderful" his marriage is. Ryan Seacrest grilled him yesterday and here's what he said.
Did Britney kick him out of the house?
"Nope."
Was his car repossessed?
"No."
Did they talk about getting divorced?
"No way."
Was Britney listening to his interview?
"Probably not. We had a rough night with the baby last night. She's probably catching some Zzzs."
Are they planning on having a second baby this year?
"Nah, not right now, we're gonna wait."
Can he sing?
"Nope." Oops, sorry -- I just made that one up.
I think K-Fed has been studying the Katie Holmes interview style. ("Tom's amazing. It's amazing to be pregnant. My life is just -- giggle, giggle -- amazing.") K-Fed's going to have to spice things up if he wants people to listen to his interviews. And both Kevin and Katie could benefit from a thesaurus.
Too much information, Nick Lachey!
It's early in the morning and I'm still half asleep, so do I really need to read about Nick and Jessica Simpson's kinky sex life?
People.com got their hands on Nick's new interview with Elle in which the former Newlywed reveals that he used to get turned on by putting on Jessica's shoes and walking around in them.
"It was sort of a kinky thing we liked to get into," he said.
He's also a big fan of talking dirty.
"I haven't even realized my full dirty talk potential," he admitted. "I think there's some greater moments out there for me."
What else did he say? Well, he Nick thinks Jessica is the sexiest woman he's ever seen. (Sweet!) But he blames "the exposure" from their reality show for their split.
If you were on the fence about watching the People's Choice Awards next Tuesday, here's a reason to tune in: Jessica Simpson will be opening the show.
"Jessica's true vocal talent, unlimited energy and undeniable charisma will truly be a great addition to this year's show," said executive producer Carol Donovan in a statement.
Blah, blah, blah. I just want to know who she comes with, what she's wearing and if she says anything about Nick.
The People's Choice Awards will be broadcast live January 10 on CBS from the Shrine Auditorium.
Here are some new shots of Brad from The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Is the title long enough for you? The flick also stars Casey Affleck, Sam Shepard, Mary-Louise Parker and Sam Rockwell. It opens later this year.

Can you stomach more Lindsay Lohan gossip?
While the poor teen star is cooped up in a Florida hospital getting over her "severe asthma attack," rumors are flying that she could be pregnant. Apparently one of her friends -- along with her limo driver -- made a run to a local store to pick up some "emergency items" for Lindsay. Among the items the bag? Coco Puffs, mouthwash, cards... and a pregnancy test.
Here are photos of the limo driver carrying the bag with the EPT test and him handing the bag to the friend in the hospital.
Why L-squared would need a pregnancy test while she's in a hospital is anyone's guess. And, of course, the test could have been for someone else. Or, Lindsay could have asked the friend to get the test on the down low so that word didn't spread in the hospital that she's knocked up.
Can you imagine everyone knowing your business like this?
Okay -- sympathy over. If Linds is pregnant, I would assume that the baby daddy would be Jared Leto, who she has been seeing on the sly for months. But ya never know. It could belong to Bruce Willis or Christian Slater. Either way, this news doesn't top yesterday's dish about the starlet. Her interview with Vanity Fair hit stands, revealing her battle with bulimia and talk of drug use.
And this is the last I'm going to write about Lindsay Lohan for a while. I'm sooo sick of her. So unless she gets an Oscar nomination, she isn't making it until Blabber for the rest of the month. And we all know she ain't getting an Oscar nomination.
I'd like to thank the Academy... for hiring Jon Stewart to host the show this year.
The fabulous Daily Show anchor has been tapped as emcee of the 78th Annual Academy Awards, which will air on March 5. Although the deal was made right before the holidays, the LA Times says the official announcement won't be made until next Wednesday.
This is the first time Jon is hosting the biggest event in Hollywood. His previous experience includes hosting the Grammys in 2001 and 2002.
Last year, Chris Rock was the host of the Oscars -- and pissed off quite a few folks with his funny jokes. (His riff on Jude Law was classic.) He reportedly was not asked to do it again -- though he publicly said he wasn't interested in doing it two years in a row. Veteran host Billy Crystal was asked, but he turned down the Academy's offer.
Can't wait to see who Jon will insult on the big night.
On my way to work this morning, I was walking across 42nd Street in NYC. I passed a homeless man, who was sitting on the wet pavement holding a sign. The sign said:
"Nicole Kidman won't go out with me because I have no money."
Pretty original, right? And no, it wasn't Lenny Kravitz. He just dresses like a homeless person.
Make up your minds, people!
The on-again/off-again relationship between Charlie Sheen and his wife, Denise Richards, is back off. "Denise is moving forward with divorce proceedings," her rep tells People.com.
Earlier today, lawyers for Charlie and Denise asked that the case be removed from L.A. County Superior Court and transferred over to a private arbiter. Prior to today's legal filing, the couple -- who split last year when Denise was 7 months pregnant -- seemed to be on the road to reconciliation. At the end of last summer, they were spending time together as a family and Denise was seen wearing a new diamond ring. Just last month Charlie and Denise took a trip together -- without their kids -- to the Caribbean.
In September, Charlie Sheen told David Letterman that he and Denise were reconciling and the reason they split was because he "was a big ass."
A source close to the couple tells People.com: "I don't think this relationship [between Richards and Sheen] is going to work."

Lindsay Lohan has some more confessions to make -- and she shared them with Vanity Fair.
In their new issue -- which hits stands this week -- Lindsay dishes on her self-confessed bulimia, drug use and her volatile relationships with her father and first boyfriend, Wilmer Valderrama. The NY Post ran excerpts from the interview today. Here are some gems:
Umm... What about her mother? Dina Lohan is with her all the time. She didn't stage an intervention when her kid was like 90 lbs.? Perhaps she was too busy trying to get paparazzi to take her picture.
The article says that the day after the interview, Lindsay's spokewoman called Vanity Fair and asked to have the drug references removed from the story. Then, she wondered aloud how she would "spin" it.
As I type, Lindsay is in a Miami hospital after suffering an "asthma attack." Has "asthma attack" replaced "exhaustion" as the celeb term for rehab? We shall see.
Girl. Is. A. Mess. That said, I still sorta like her for some reason.

Courteney Cox is the best friend ever. Brad Pitt tried to buy her a drink recently and she totally ignored him. Meanwhile, here is a photo of Jen and Vince in Vegas over the weekend. What is it with him and the flannel shirts?
Depending on who you ask, Mischa Barton could be marrying Cisco Adler -- or dumping him. Personally, I hope she does the whole dumping thing. He's icky.
Between this and the nanny joke, I think Sienna needs to just stop talking.
Congratulations to Mira Sorvino and Chris Backus, who are expecting their second child this summer. Their daughter, Mattea Angel, was born in November 2004.
Also, boxing champion Oscar de la Hoya and his wife, Millie Corretjer, have welcomed their first child together. Their son, Oscar Gabriel, was born on December 29 and weighed 9lbs. and 7oz. Oscar has two other children, Jacob and Atiana, from previous relationships.
Actually, in an "only in Hollywood" twist, Atiana is the daughter of Shanna Moakler, who is now married to Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker. Shanna and Travis just had a daughter named Alabama on Christmas Eve.
Oscar is becoming quite the popular name. The Tonight Show's John Melendez just gave his new baby the same name.

I admit that I've been doubtful about Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's relationship. They went from cuddling all over town to dropping out of sight. I thought they were over. I'm wrong -- they spent New Year's Eve together. Here are the juicy details.
Not only is Ryan Seacrest pretty, but he's rich too. He just inked that deal I told you about with E! His paycheck? $21 million. Paula's going to be all over him.
I'm so joking. I swear. Remember, I told you I love him?
File this under "What in the world?"
Patrick Swayze, whose fancy footwork dazzled the masses in Dirty Dancing, wants to release a rap single. The actor, who had a hit back in '87 with "She's Like the Wind" told allhiphop.com that he's working on a track which will show that "rap rhythms [are] an emotional undercurrent for ballads."
Uh, great.
Is anybody -- other than my mother who is a huge Swayze fan -- excited about his new career ambitions? And who do you think would win if he faced off with 50 Cent?
Could Mr. and Mrs. Smith be expecting a little one?
For the last week there have been heavy rumors that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are expecting a baby. Now, News of the World is confirming that Angie's expecting.
"It's early days yet so they're not announcing it publicly, but anybody can see how thrilled the pair of them are," a Brangelina friend told the paper. "Angelina can't wipe the smile from her face and Brad is being so protective of her. She's had a difficult couple of months feeling sick and ready to faint."
Brad reportedly called his ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston, to tell her the about the pregnancy so that she doesn't hear the news from anyone else.
So is it true? I'd say it's likely true, but I think we need to wait for better sources to confirm it. I bet we'll have a definite answer in the next couple days.
But if I was a betting gal -- and I've known to be -- I'd guess she's prego. She started taking prenatal vitamins a few months back. Every photo lately she's been draped in loose black clothes. Tres different from her regular ensembles -- like the leather Versace dress at the Smith premiere. So I'd wager that there's another Jolie-Pitt on the way.
What do you think?
That Gwyneth Paltrow needs a stern talking to.
The beautiful, fashionable, intelligent mother of little Apple Martin is going to cause yet another innocent child to seek therapy. Rumor has it, she plans to name her next bundle of joy -- a boy, who is due this spring -- Capone.
Yup, as in bada-bing, bada-bang, bada-bad name.
Gwynnie can't take all the blame for her bad-naming skills. Her husband, Chris Martin, is equally at fault. In fact, Gwyn is said to have allowed Chris to pick Capone. He reportedly selected the name because he thinks it "has character."
Yes, it does have character -- on the Sopranos or in the Godfather.
Suggest better names for Chris and Gwynnie's baby here.
Happy New Year! Hope you guys has as much fun as I did over the long weekend. I'm totally recharged after a few days away, and I'm so ready for all the celeb dirt 2006 has to offer.
Did you see Dick Clark make his comeback on his Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve special? Oy. I literally started to tear up when they finally showed him at 11:30pm. That stroke must have been bad. He sat behind a desk the whole time, and his speech... Dick Clark always had such a boyish look to him -- like he had found the fountain of youth -- so it was sad to see him looking so weathered. Nevertheless, I was really glad that he was on. He must have worked so hard all year in speech and physical therapy just for that appearance and I applaud him. And kudos to Ryan Seacrest for running the show. He did a really good job -- and made sure not to steal the spotlight from the man who's been doing the show for all those years.
Of course I got the biggest kick out of Mariah Carey's dress -- or lack thereof. I said it before and I'll say it again: That girl needs to cover up. One the gals I was with made me laugh when she said: "What is she wearing? Does she think she's part of the Olympic figure-skating team?"
I think Mariah should make a resolution to cover her buttocks in public this year. And while I'm at it, here are some other New Year's resolutions that I've made for the stars:
Make up some of your own resolutions for the stars and share them below.
