I couldn't make it to the Pirates of the Caribbean screening the other night (bummer!), so I asked my friend Dorothy to let me know what she thought of it. Here's her little review. Thanks, Dar!
Ahoy, mateys! As a fan of the original, I've been excitedly awaiting Pirates of the Caribbean 2 knowing that it had to be good because with pirates and Depp, what could go wrong? The answer is absolutely nothing. Pirates of the Caribbean: The Dead Man's Chest is exactly what a summer blockbuster should be. It's filled with action (stunningly choreographed sword fights),adventure (sea battles, cannibal island), romance (by the end, you'll know why Keira Knightly is the luckiest girl in Hollywood), humor (sometimes slapsticky, but always done with a sly wink at the camera) and thrills (the Kraken, looking much better than it did in 1981's Clash Of The Titans). My companion Craig wasn't digging the supernatural elements of the movie, but to me, the fantasy/mythological elements make the story much more interesting. The plot can be a little convoluted, but the basic story is about a debt that Captain Jack needs to pay back to Davy Jones (brilliant British actor Bill Nighy), the squid-like king of the seas. Jack, of course, wants leverage to get out of his payment so he sets out to find both a key and the chest it opens, which contains something Davy Jones really needs. Suddenly Jack, Will and the deliciously scruffy former Commodore Norrington (Jack Davenport) all race to get the chest, each man with his own agenda, while Davy Jones and his ship, The Flying Dutchman, are hot on their heels. Children under 8 might be scared by Davy Jones' crew, made up of men who chose to serve Jones and so begin to look like sea creatures, rather than drown, but adults will appreciate the CGI makeup that transforms the crew in a way that's more Gollum than Jar Jar Binks. From the opening scene to the explosive, cliffhanger endings (there's a lot of shockers in the last 15 minutes), Pirates 2 is pure fun from start to finish. It's a movie that pirates and landlubbers alike will love. So make sure you all go see it on July 7, and stay until the credits run to catch an extra fun scene, savvy?
So the mystery of Brangelina's missing baby shower photos have been solved. Who's to blame? Her brother.
James Haven was in Namibia with his sis and snapped some photos at her baby shower. Fast-forward two weeks, he's back in the States and his camera is on the blink. He takes it to Best Buy and because it's under warranty, he asked them to ship it off to get fixed... without removing his memory card!
The camera is shipped to a camera shop in Connecticut, where a Joe Camera Guy starts fixing the cam... and notices that there are photos -- of Angelina Jolie -- on it. Jackpot!
Joe Camera Guy tries to sell the photos -- he has a coworker as a coconspirator at this point -- by sending out this email:
Dear Sir or Madam,I am contacting you because I have recently acquired some digital photos (450 pictures). On this memory stick are personal photos of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and their children. These photos are in thier [sic] home and on vacation, are good quality and are close up. I am contacting you...to see what these photos may be worth.
The photos could be worth... jail time. The police seized his computer and they're turning the case over to the Los Angeles DA's office.
Nice try, guy.


Plus: You know how celebrities always drop bombs on the Friday nights or Saturday mornings of long holiday weekends? (Nick and Jess split, Gwen Stefani and Angelina both scheduled their c-sections for holiday weekends.) Anyway, who do you think will announce big news this weekend? Think someone will get married? Make predictions below.
So Star Jones isn't going to let this thing with Barbara Walters die. Last night she was on Larry King bitching about it. This morning she was on the Today Show telling her very good friend Al Roker about how she was done wrong. Did I mention they're really good friends? She must have mentioned that at least 5 times.
Anyway, there's really nothing new. She was fired. She says she has a new show in the works or something. And she also kinda sorta confirmed that she had gastric bypass -- finally. Though Starlet just wouldn't come out and say YES! I HAD IT! Here's what she did say:
KING: You're saying you always said there was surgery?REYNOLDS: I've always said that there was a medical -- I mean look at me for goodness sake. I've been...
KING: So where was the impression given that you did this on a diet?
REYNOLDS: I have no idea why anybody would suggest that that's the statement that I've made. I actually have always said it was a medical intervention always.
This whole Star/Babs drama was fun this week -- there's nothing else to watch on TV these days... except Rescue Me, which is my new favorite show and I have to blog about that later. But back to Star, I'm tired of her. Now I want her to go away. Buh-bye.
Hi guys,
I'm going to be a little late getting you your dirt tomorrow morning because I'm going to be on the radio dishing about the celebs from 8 to 10. If you want to see if I'll be in your area, click on the extended entry for the various stations and times. Otherwise, expect your Daily Blabber gossip fix to start at about 11am on Friday morning.
Till then--

Here's a little end-of-the-day roundup...

According to the NY Daily News, one of their spies saw the fellas get into a "pushing match" at Janice Dickinson's weekly party at Hollywood hotspot Bella. While the boys were having words, the name of Josh's gal pal -- Fergie of Black Eyed Peas fame -- came up. However another source says Josh was banging on the bathroom door -- while Tommy was in it -- so Tommy came out and punched him in the face.
Either way, that Tommy Lee better not have left a mark on perfect Josh's face -- or he'll have me to answer to.
Meanwhile, who knew that Janice Dickinson has a "weekly party" that's a big ole Hollywood event? I would think people would try to avoid her as much as possible -- I mean, the only thing that ever comes out of her mouth is: "I'm the world's first supermodel." She can't be the most stimulating conversationalist, right?




It's hot outside... and I'm so concerned for all the pretty Hollywood faces. Do you think they'll start melting away?
This week's Blabber video topic: Celebrity plastic surgery. And I really had some fun poking fun at all those surgically enhanced stars -- like Ashlee Simpson, Meg Ryan, Lisa Rinna and others.
So check out the latest Daily Blabber video blog, then tell me what you think. Who looks the best after their nips and tucks? The worst? Who needs to stay at least 50 feet away from the plastic surgeon's office? Talk back.
Don't think for a minute that the nasty-nasty between Star Jones and Barbara Walters is over.
Yesterday, Babs opened the show by quipping: "And then there were three." From there, she launched into a two-minute explanation about why Star wasn't there. Here's a snippet:
"We gave her time to look for another job and hoped that she would announce it on this program and leave with dignity," said Walters, confirming Jones Reynolds' contract for a 10th season had not been renewed. "But Star made another choice."
Did you think Star would let that go? Hell to the no, folks.
In an interview with the NY Daily News, Star defended herself, saying she was disappointed she was no longer welcome on the set of The View.
Star on Barbara's comments: "For Barbara to say she felt betrayed is the height of hypocrisy."
On Rosie O'Donnell being hired: "Rosie had attacked me on every single evening entertainment program. Barbara used that week to call her and invite her to be part of a show that I helped launch nine years ago."
On being fired: "Barbara did not call me herself. After nine years, she didn't call me. They told me my contract would not be renewed because my approval rating had gone down. ... I was like, whoa! I came to work every day. I held my head up. I operated in grace and dignity. I knew since April but I still came to work."
Meanwhile, a source at The View told the NY Daily News that the staff was glad to see Star leave, saying: "Star has very effectively alienated everybody on the show."
While I eagerly await Barbara's rebuttal, he'res my opinion on the whole thing: Star's approval rating must have gone down. Between the free stuff she was scoring on air for her wedding, endless jabber about Al and refusing to admit to the gastric bypass, she was tres annoying. And there have been rumors -- for years -- that she's a pain in the heinie to work with. So it was her time to go. She made her dramatic exit -- and is getting lots of headlines for it. And this press is definitely helping Barbara and The View. Now it's time for Star to move on to something else... like staying home and driving her husband crazy for a little while. And I predict that in six months she'll be back in our face one again.
Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay has a big baby boy.
According to Us Weekly -- which must pay reporters to troll all the L.A. hospitals 24/7, which would totally piss me off if I was famous and in labor -- gave birth to a baby boy at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The baby father is Mariska's husband, actor Peter Hermann.
The baby weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs., 9 oz. and arrived via -- drum roll, please -- C-section. The C-section is one of the hottest trends in Hollywood right now. In recent months, Angelina Jolie and Gwen Stefani have also had C-sections. But Mariska's baby was a week past his due date -- and clearly a big boy.

Hey guys,
It's Lindsey. I know Suzy told you all that she was going to be making another TV appearance tonight, but the segment has unfortunately been cancelled. Your gossip/Suzy-fix will just have to wait until tomorrow when you can catch her -- and the latest gossip -- on the Daily Blabber Video. Trust me, it's worth the wait!
Cheers!
Lindsey
For a girl who wants to be left alone, Britney sure is lovin' the limelight.
Last week, she sold photos and an interview to OK! magazine for a reported $300,000. This week, she's on the cover of the upcoming Bazaar, showing off her new black tresses. And did I mention that she's naked? Oh, yeah -- that too.
You must, must check out photos from Bazaar here.
And seriously, ole girl needs to quit complaining that her celebrity is ruining her life. She very clearly loves it every little breast-exposing minute of it.
Buh-bye, Bahrain. Hello, Europe.
Michael Jackson has fired his business managers, hired a NY firm to keep an eye on his financial affairs and he's moving to Europe.
Jacko has been calling Bahrain home since he was acquitted of child molestation charges about a year ago. He will still maintain a home there, but he's moving to Europe fulltime to focus on his music career -- or lack thereof.
"He is very serious about his music," said his mouthpiece Raymone K. Bain. "When you are a creative person and the creative juices are flowing again and you're about to embark on new projects, you want to make sure your organization is running smoothly."
Sure -- whatever. Right now, Jacko is in Ireland, but it's uncertain which country he will settle in.
I predict he'll decide to call Italy home. After all, they have quite a fabulous selection of "Jesus juice" there. No matter where he goes, I suggest all Europeans should lock up their children... immediately.
On The View yesterday, which I was lucky enough to catch because I was home sick, Star Jones Reynolds announced that she's following Meredith Vieira's lead and she's quitting the show. But after her abrupt announcement – which was a surprise to Barbara Walters and the other cohosts – the truth surfaced that she was actually fired.
Here's what happened: Before the show, Star told People magazine that ABC had given her her walking papers. So while Star was breaking the news about her departure live on The View, People.com ran her interview in which she claimed she was canned.
"What you don't know is that my contract was not renewed for the tenth season," she told People exclusively. "I feel like I was fired." She adds that she got the news just days before reports surfaced that Rosie O'Donnell – one of her most vocal critics – would be joining the View in the fall.
Barbara Walters wasn't happy about Star's surprise announcement or that People ran the story during the telecast. After the show, Babs struck back, telling the AP that Star betrayed her.
"I love Star and I was trying to do everything I possibly could -- up until this morning, when I was betrayed -- to protect her," Walters said.
Barbara said ABC really fired Star because research indicated Star's weight loss and constant jabbering about her husband, Al Reynolds, was a turn off to viewers.
"We tried to talk them out of it," Walters said, "and we tried to give Star time to redeem herself in the eyes of the audience, and the research just kept getting worse… I would have loved for Star to have left and not said `I was fired,' and not make it look like the program was somehow being cruel to her."
Star said she would be leaving the show in mid-July, but expect her departure to be sooner… like today. People.com reports that after yesterday's show, ABC asked Star not to return. So TiVo the show today because there's sure to be more drama if Star is suddenly gone.
My boss Beth – who is one of my backup Blabbers -- had a baby girl in early May and is off on maternity leave. Well, it seems like she just can't leave her work behind. Spiderman 3 -- with Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst -- is filming her Brooklyn 'hood, so she and Sadie hit the set to bring us some Blab-worthy photos.
This is from NY-er Lauren...
Last Thursday, I was just leaving New York hot spot Plum when Lindsay Lohan walked through the door for some late-night fun. For such a fashionista, I was surprised to see her dressed in a gold sequined bolero (so last year!) a red tank and jeans. I, of course, did a total 180 and followed La Lohan like it was my job. After walking straight to the VIP section and finding that it was all full, Linds moved on to oversee the crowd from the DJ booth. She apparently grew bored after a few minutes and was escorted from the club, accompanied by 2 friends, who hopped in to an Escalade waiting outside.
This comes from Jeff -- via his fiancée -- who was in Chicago last week on business...
Jeff was staying at the Four Seasons in downtown Chicago this week for work and he called to tell me that both Brooke Shields and Debra Messing were at his hotel -- very dressed up for an event.
Not to be outdone, Jeff's brother had a star sighting as well, but in NYC...
Spotted: Mandy Moore with friends at Chinatown Brasserie Saturday night. And her friends knew the people at the table next to them, introductions all around. My table was going "Is that her? Naw, that's not her" and then I heard "And Mandy, this is..."

A Canadian based gossip columnist named Shinan Govani thinks Tori's claims that she made nice with her father are as outrageous as a Melrose Place plotline. According to Shinan, Tori spent all last week in Toronto doing press for her reality show -- and hanging at Starbucks, a bar called Betty's and the Four Seasons. She was up north until at least Friday afternoon... and her father passed away on Friday night.
Poor Tori can't get a break, right? The girl's dad dies and she's still the subject of vicious gossip. That said, I'm not sold on the whole picture-perfect reconciliation thing either. What can I say -- I'm a skeptic.
You guys seemed to like the Johnny Depp eye candy... so you'll dig these 12 sexy foreign superstars...
Hollywood is as American as apple pie. Or is it? Truth is we can't take credit for all the talent in Tinseltown. In fact, some of our hottest leading men carry passports from far-flung locales. Turns out that these actors are so talented they can seduce us with their flawless American accents — or their sexy foreign ones — depending on the role. And though we'll always pledge allegiance to our homegrown American boys, every once in a while we need to fish in international waters and catch ourselves an international man of mystery. Check out our picks for the hottest imports...
I don't think I ever need a reason for a Johnny Depp post, but I do have one. Yesterday was the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest at Disneyland. Johnny was there and even rode the Pirates ride that they have at the park. After, he examined the faux Jack Sparrow animatronic that is part of the ride. The film opens nationwide July 7.
The twinkle is out of Star Jones Reynold's star. As rumored, she's leaving The View.
Access Hollywood broke the news that The View's resident big mouth (no, not Joy Behar – the other one) will announce her departure from the daytime chat fest this week. She will be departing the show in July.
So what does that mean? Basically, there will be no smackdown between Star and new cohost Rosie O'Donnell, who joins the show in September.
After Star mysteriously lost a ton of weight -- which amounted to about the size of Elisabeth Hasselbeck – Rosie blasted her for not 'fessing up to having gastric bypass surgery. Rosie felt that as a former fattie, Star owed it to their tribe to come clean. (Her words, not mine.) Star responded by saying… pretty much nothing. So the tension between the ladies promised for some good TV when Rosie moved in.
So the bottom line here is that suddenly The View was going to be must-see with these two pit bulls on the air together… but now it's back to snoozeville. And Babs better not even think about hiring Kathie Lee Gifford to replace Star. One washed-up former chat queen is enough.
Update: Star just confirmed on The View that she's leaving. She'll be on the show until mid-July.
Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose continues his anger management tour.
The plastic surgery lover was cuffed and stuffed in Stockholm early this morning after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg outside his hotel.
No surprise that Axl was drunk when he started arguing with a woman in the lobby of the Berns Hotel at about 8am. A security guard stepped in and that's when the brawling started. When police arrived, they restrained Axl, who was "too intoxicated to be questioned right away."
This is just one of many incidents in which the bad boy rocker got physical with someone. He's been accused of being abusive toward a range of people, from his ex-wife Erin Everly to fashionista Tommy Hilfiger.
Methinks he takes his whole bad boy rocker thing a little too seriously. After all, he's like 60 now or something, right? Time to give it a rest.
In other celebrity smackdown news, Naomi Campbell is being accused of assault and battery – again. Yet another one of Naomi's maids says the temperamental supermodel caused her personal injuries.
Gaby Gibson asks for "actual, compensatory and punitive" damages in court papers she filed earlier this week. She also accuses Nasty Campbell of employment discrimination and causing personal injuries. The papers don't detail the specific incidents, but Gaby told the NY Post in April that model hit her, called her names and threatened to have her arrested – all over a pair of jeans.
Don't mistake this with Naomi's other "jeans assault." La Campbell is due in court today to answer charges for allegedly hitting Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with a cell phone after accusing her of stealing jeans.
Maybe Axl and Naomi should hook up… and just beat the crap out of each other all day long.
Congratulations to John Cusack. Despite spending more and more of his time out of the spotlight, '80s dreamboat is still hot enough to attract the crazies.
On Friday, the star of collectable flicks like Say Anything and Better Off Dead -- $2 dollars, $2 dollars – filed for a temporary restraining order again an L.A. woman who he says has been showing "unusual interest in him."
E! Online says that a 32-year-old transient named Emily Leatherman is accused of "stalking, throwing long letters of interest over [his] fence in bags with rocks and screwdrivers inside, making unannounced visits to offices of people [he works] with in an attempt to meet with [him] and listing [his] address as her own during a recent address.""Mail addressed to her has been arriving at my residence without my permission," John stated. "I have never met this person." While the 39-year-old actor (who turns 40 on Wednesday) wrote that Leatherman has not committed or threatened any violence against him, she has, he said, caused emotional distress to him and vowed to hurt herself if he did not agree to meet with her.
John wants her to stay the hell away – well, at least 500 feet -- from his home, place of business and his wheels.
For now nutty Emily will have to settle for getting her John fix on the big screen. He's recently wrapped Grace Is Gone and has two other films – 1408 and The Martian Child – in the can.

Now if you were writing the caption for this photo, what would you put? Get creative below.
Did anyone see visions of Patricia Arquette getting married last weekend?
While other brides Nicole Kidman and Marcia Cross distracted the paparazzi, Medium star Patricia quietly married her longtime boyfriend, actor Thomas Jane, over the weekend in Venice, Italy.
"It was a small, intimate celebration with close family," Patricia's spokesperson told People.com.
This is the second marriage for both Patricia and Thomas, who became engaged in 2002 and have a 3-year-old daughter named Harlow. Thomas was previously hitched to actress Aysha Hauer; Patricia was married to Nic Cage. Patricia also has a 17-year-old son, Enzo, from a previous relationship.
No word on whether or not Courteney Cox and David Arquette were there with Coco, but they probably were. The Arquettes are a close-knit showbiz family, who are frequently seen together.
And here's hoping "the forces" keep this marriage together longer than Patricia's Nic fiasco. They were married for just nine months in 1995 before secretly separating, but for some reason they still made public appearances following their split. Their divorce was later finalized in 2001, so that oddball Nic could marry Lisa Marie Presley for an equally short – and bizarre – stint. Lisa Marie also got married – for the fourth time -- this year.
Here's hoping Patricia has better luck with husband number two.


“We just want to thank everyone in Australia and around the world who have sent us their warm wishes,” the couple said in a statement following the ceremony.
The all-candlelight ceremony took place at sundown and Nicole arrived in a Rolls Royce –- with her dad (above) -– wearing a strapless Balenciaga dress. A second car followed carrying Nic's bridal party, which consisted of her sister, Antonia, her daughter, Isabella, and Antonia's daughter, Lucia. Keith's groomsmen were his brother, Shane Urban, and friends Marcus Holden and Peter Clarke. Nic's son Connor was there, but was not a groomsman.
"Nicole cried all the way to the church in the car and then she cried all during the ceremony and had to wipe her eyes under the veil," a guest told People. "It was the most emotional and beautiful ceremony. Nicole looked ethereal with her veil floating, like a vision in white... Keith cried when he looked at her."It was so intense," the guest said. "When her veil was lifted, he moved right in and he grabbed her and kissed her. It was a long, passionate kiss. [Then] everything went from being quiet and elegant and intense to really loud, like we were suddenly at a soccer game. There was screaming and hollering and such excitement.
"But when Nicole and Keith looked at each other it was like they were the only two people in the room. They are so deeply in love. It was the most incredible wedding."
The reception also took place at St. Patrick's and guests included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch. Hugh was also part of the entertainment – both he and Crowded House's Neil Finn performed at the reception. The reception had a "passion" theme with red carnations hanging from huge chandeliers and red roses on the tables.
The happy couple will reportedly be honeymooning in the South Pacific.
Find out how Nicole and Keith met, fell in love -- and all that jazz –- in a new Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban celebrity couple timeline.

Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross and stockbroker Tom Mahoney got hitched on Saturday at the Church of Our Savior Episcopal Parish in San Gabriel, California. It was the first marriage for both.
In front of about 200 guests -– including her Desperate costars Eva Longoria and Felicity Huffman – Marcia walked down the aisle in a Reem Acra dress to the song "Only Love Remains," which was sung by her sister Ellen Cross. Marcia carried a bouquet of white peonies and white roses.
Instead of bridesmaids, Marcia had a maid of honor – her other sister Susan Hett – and seven flower girls, who were the children of her closest friends. Her nephew Jared Hett was the ring bearer and Tom's BFF Ed McClaren was the best man.
"It was a beautiful ceremony," a rep for Marcia told People.com. "They're very happy."
The reception took place in two ballrooms at the Ritz Carlton in Pasadena.
Marcia and Tom were first seen out and about together in March 2005, when they went on a skiing trip together to Deer Valley, Utah. They've been engaged for the last 10 months.
The only thing of note to really mention is that Terri Hatcher wasn't there… adding more cred to the rumors that that costars dislike each other.

It's always a FUN and a real THRILL to write about deaths. Um, not really. But it has to be done, so here goes…

Tori had a falling out with her parents when she had an affair with her now husband, Dean McDermott. (Her parents dropped a couple mil on her wedding to Charlie Shanian a year earlier.) But Tori says that she was able to make peace with her father before he died.
"I'm grateful I recently had the opportunity to reconcile with my father and most grateful we had the chance to tell each other we loved one another before he passed away," Tori told People. "It's a true blessing to have had a parent that loved me unconditionally. He had a heart as big as his talent and today, along with many others, I mourn his loss. He was a great man and even better father."
Patsy Ramsey: The mother of JonBenet Ramsey lost her long battle against cancer. She died in Atlanta on Saturday. The former Miss West Virginia made headlines when her tiny beauty queen daughter, JonBenet, was murdered in their home on the day after Christmas. The case remains unsolved, but both Patsy and her husband, John, were investigated. Patsy was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1993, was treated and lived a cancer-free life for 9 years. Three years ago the cancer came back. She was 49.
E. Pierce Marshall: I know you're probably like: Who the hell is E. Pierce Marshall? I'll tell ya. This is the guy who's been feuding with Anna Nicole Smith over his father's oil fortune. Pierce -- the son of J. Howard Marshall (aka the old guy who married Anna Nicole) – died suddenly on Tuesday in the Dallas area as a result of a brief infection.
In 1994, Pierce's 88-year-old father married the former Playboy Playmate. When Howard died the following year, he left his fortune to Anna Nicole. Pierce had been fighting with the buxom blonde ever since to prevent her from getting his dad's money. No word on how his death impacts the case, which will be heard again after the Supreme Court recently granted Anna another trial.
After getting ridiculed for appearing on national television looking like a cross between Tammy Faye Baker and Anna Nicole Smith, Ms. Britney Spears has undergone an extreme makeover. Check out her new dark tresses right here from her recent visit to New York.
I love it. What do you think? Weigh in below.
Hell has officially frozen over.
For the first time in over two years, Nicole Kidman has been spotted with her children. Nic was spotted with Isabella and Connor Cruise in Sydney, where she plans to get married this weekend.
Nicole and her ex-husband, Tom Cruise, must have one heck of an interesting custody arrangement. The children live with him in L.A., where they are home schooled and take classes at the Scientology Centre daily. They are involved in all kinds of sporting activities – and Tom, usually with gal pal Katie Holmes, is always on the sidelines at all the games. As I said, Nicole hasn't been seen publicly with the children in over two years, prompting speculation that she signed over full custody to her ex. Even during Christmas and Thanksgiving last year, Nicole was in Nashville with her parents and her fiancé Keith Urban and the kids were with Tom and Katie in L.A.
I still think that Nicole signed over full custody to her crazy couch-jumping ex. They were probably just allowed to go to her wedding because it was a special event and it would look bad if they weren't there. Besides, Tom is in Tokyo right now jumping up and down like a lunatic promoting M:I:3.
I tell ya -- Tom Cruise must have something really good on Nicole. Nude pictures? Lesbian dalliance? Sex change? I don't know what the heck it could be. He divorced her out of the blue... and took the kids. There's something way suspicious about that whole arrangement.
Plus: Nicole & Keith prenup details -- joint custody of any children, $600,000 a year to Keith for every year they're together, etc. And Page six also reports that Renee Zellweger and Kenny Chesney may be dating again!
Don't mess with Maddox.
A paparazzo was given the cuffs yesterday when he was found hiding in the bushes outside Maddox Jolie-Pitt's daycare center. Photog Cliff Brewer was arrested for trespassing on Thursday morning after staff members at the Pacific Coast Highway preschool facility saw him and made a citizen's arrest. The guy was booked on a misdemeanor trespassing charge and released on $1,000 bail.
"School officials and myself feel that some of these paparazzi are like predators who will recklessly take and sell photos of innocent children for money," Rich Malchar, Brad Pitt's head of security, said in a statement.
I'm glad little Mad is okay because he's my favorite celebrity kiddie ever. He's so cool with his Ramones t-shirts and such. And I love that Brad and Angelina send their kid to daycare. They have so much money that they could have 5 nannies per kid, yet he goes to play in the dirty sandbox with other kids. They're trying to make him a wee bit normal... even though he's only four and has his own paparazzi stalkers.
Legally Blonde star Selma Blair is zapping her marriage.
After two years of being hitched, the star and her husband, Ahmet Zappa, are going their separate ways.
"Selma and Ahmet have decided to divorce but love each other very much and will continue to be close friends," Troy Nankin, spokesperson for the couple, said in a statement exclusive to People.
After dating for about six months, Selma and Ahmet got married in 2004 at the home of Carrie Fisher. A lot of stuff goes on at Carrie Fisher's house… it's where James Blunt recorded his last album and I think someone else got married there. Must be some spread.
The marriage was the first for both. They have no kids.
Wedding bells will be ringing for Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban this weekend. As I told you, they're in Sydney right now getting ready for their wedding, which will reportedly take place on Sunday. Get the scoop on the hot celebrity couple -- from their first hookup to their last-minute wedding preparations -- in this new celebrity couple photo timeline.
And I'm just dying to see if Nic's children -- Isabella and Connor -- make it to the big ceremony. The kids haven't been seen with their famous mom in quite some time now -- they live with their obsessive, controlling father, Tom Cruise, in L.A.
Pete Doherty is publishing his intimate diaries. Here's an excerpt – Blabber style: I love Kate Moss so much. Let me smoke some crack. Kate is a goddess. Pass the heroin. I'm such a lucky bloke to land a gal like Kate. Shoot me up.
You think celebrities are the only ones with fame on the brain? Not so. More and more, members of celebrity entourages – their assistants and nannies – are stealing the spotlight from their famous bosses. In this week's Daily Blabber Video Blog, I look at some of those limelight lovin' people – like Jessica Simpson's former BFF/assistant CaCee Cobb – who found fame just by being on a star's payroll.

Reese Witherspoon slapped The Star with a lawsuit on Wednesday, accusing them of making up a story that she's pregnant.
The article -- which is in the June 26 issue -- implies that Reese was unwilling to tell producers of her upcoming films that she's preg and that she's been hiding her expanding body under baggy clothing.
"[Reese] does not have a 'baby bump' and has not otherwise gained weight such that she has had to resort to wearing 'Empire-waist dresses,' 'baggy clothing,' or an 'old-fashioned 1920's bathing suit."'
AMI magazines The Star and The National Enquirer have a tendency to make up pregnancy reports. They've been relentless with poor J.Lo., who has reportedly had trouble becoming pregnant. Their two most memorable bs articles were when they "reported" that Jessica Simpson wanted to have Nick's baby... which ran the week N&J split, and a story saying Jennifer Aniston was pregnant, which came out the week Brad & Jen separated.
Apparently they must like spin a wheel in the AMI office and say: Who should we say is pregnant this week? It's sorta outta control, so props to Reese for giving them a lawsuit smackdown.

Update: You knew this whole "good Kevin" thing was too good to be true. The NY Daily News reports that minutes after Kev did his charity work yesterday, he and his entourage drove by the Naked Cowgirl in NYC. Suddenly, the window of his SUV opened and the family man handed the pasties-wearin' babe a few dollars.
To keep you from doing any work this afternoon, I have one more new game for you called Celebrity Matchmaker: Adam Sandler's Leading Ladies. Match Adam's costars to the movies they were in together.
Go!
Introducing iVillage's newest game...
It's time to take your afternoon break because you must try iVillage's new game: Celebrity Concentration. It's just like that game Memory from when we were kids -- you flip over two cards at a time and try to make a match. This is the very first edition of Celeb Concentration and in it you have to match stars to the cartoon characters that they voiced in movies. Think: Owen Wilson in Cars. Will Ferrell in Curious George. Bill Murray in Garfield.
It's tricky. It's fun. It's addicting.
I must confess it took me a few times to clear the board, so let me know how you do...
In Angelina Jolie's interview with the Coop last night, she said that her middle child -- Zahara -- is jealous of her three-week-old baby sis.
"Mad loves [Shiloh]," Jolie said Tuesday on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360. "Because when Z came home she was older, she was 7 months old, so for Mad it's like having this tiny little pet he can just hold and look at. He's great."But, she added, "Z's a little jealous because she's still a little girl."
Angelina also said she was happily surprised that her feelings for Shi-No -- her first biological kid -- weren't any different than her feelings for her two adopted children.
"I was kind of prepared to defend my other children," she said. "I was prepared to kind of give them extra love and attention, because something was going to be different about this new one."
I don't know if you guys watched it or what, but I think Angelina looked incredible. Compared to Britney last week, it was no contest. While Brit was showing her boobies in her fuchsia maternity bra and breast-baring top, Angie was conservatively dressed in her trademark black. With minimal makeup, she was stunning. Her eyes were really shinny and her lips... One look at them and you know why Brad went chasing after her. Those things are like a weapon of man destruction.
Angelina gets an A- for appearance and interview. Britney, as you know, got an F-.
Hey guys, I have to do something this morning, so I'll be delivering the dirt late. For now, chew on these headlines...

Congratulations to Elisabeth Shue, who doesn't have to be pregnant all summer. (I don't know where you guys are livin' but it's gotten sooo hot here in NY.) Elisabeth and her husband, Davis Guggenheim, welcomed a baby girl, Agnes Charles, on Sunday. They have two other kids: Miles and Stella. Congrats to "Ali with an 'i'" who I always thought was so cool in The Karate Kid and, of course, Adventures in Babysitting.
Heidi Klum is going to make us all jealous again: She's having another baby.
According to Us Weekly, Mrs. Hot Bod, who gave birth to her second kid last year and walked the red carpet at the Emmys days later, is expecting her third child. About two months later she was modeling lingerie at the Victoria's Secret show.
Heidi already has a daughter, Leni, and a son, Henry Gunther Ademola Dashtu Samuel. Singer Seal is "Daddy" to both little ones -- though Leni's birth father is Heidi's ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore.
“You’d never have known if you saw her at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards [on June 5],” a source told the mag. “She’s just starting to show… She’s in a really good place. She loves her family. She loves being a mom.”
Despite her making me all jealous by getting back in shape in a nanosecond, I'm very happy for her.
Auf Wiedersehen!
As you'll remember, Tori Spelling's hookup with husband Dean McDermott wasn't without casualties. When they got together -- while filmng a really bad made-for-TV movie -- Tori was married to a cat named Charlie Shanian and Dean was married Mary Jo Eustace.
Clearly, Charlie and Mary Jo aren't Tori and Dean fans.
So on Sunday night, Mary Jo – who is shopping a tell-all about her divorce -- was reportedly asked to leave the Much Music Awards in Toronto because Tori was in attendance. He's the dish, according to Page Six.
“Tori, who was presenting, told the organizers either Mary Jo must go or she would,” said gossip columnist Shinan Govani, who escorted Eustace. “So we were secretly taken to an adjoining building to see it on TV, along with our own waiter and wine and shrimp.” As they watched, Spelling joked to the audience how great it is being married to a Canadian: “They’re a lot nicer and they have nasty ex-wives who write tell-all books. What more could a girl ask for?” Snapped Eustace to Govani: “Welcome to my life. I’m up against a dynasty.”
When asked about the incident by Page Six, Tori didn't hold back.
“She plays the victim card over and over . . . It’s pathetic bordering on lunacy. I hope for the sake of her children she gains some self respect.” Tori also denied she ordered Mary Jo out.
My advice to Tori – Kelly Taylor style – is to zip it. She ruined two marriages when she hooked up with Dean. Clearly "the wife" is gonna be pissed. Let her rant and rave, pen her tell-all book… then move the hell on. But Tori's totally antagonizing her and it makes Tori look like Ms. Nasty. After all, she did steal this lady's husband.

I was traumatized... now you are too. Aren't I sweet?
Since Nicole Kidman first hooked up with her Aussie rocker beau Keith Urban, she's kept her relationship on the down low. Until now. The bride-to-be is finally confirming what we've known for months: She's getting hitched this weekend!
Earlier today Nic and Keith arrived Down Under, where the wedding will take place, and released this statement carried by Australian Associated Press:
"We are very happy to be back in Australia," they said in a joint statement. "We have come home to celebrate our wedding with our family and friends."
According to Access Hollywood, guests -- like Hugh Jackman and Naomi Watts -- will begin arriving this week and they'll be staying at the Intercontinental Hotel in Sydney. Just prior to the ceremony, they will find out where the ceremony will take place.
Major props to Nic for doing all of this under the radar. I have a feeling this couple may have staying power. In addition to the similar roots, they've just been really classy about their relationship -- and not blabbing every single detail about it to any reporter who will listen. Fingers crossed for her... and a round of applause that she came to her senses and got the heck away from crazy Tom Cruise.
Free Katie!
Update: Nicole and Keith give the paparazzi a gift: a case of beer!
DJ Has New Gal to Make Music With
DJ AM has a new Nicole Richie. He's dating Monica Byrne -- no relation.
Cars Over Nachos
Cars ruled at the box office over the weekend for second week in a row. New movies Nacho Libre and Lake House just weren't any competition.
Breaking: K-Fed Has a Job!
Maybe now Britney can afford hair and makeup because her husband has landed a new job. Kevin Federline is the face of a fashion label called Five Star Vintage. He'll appear in some of their ads, which you'll start cringing at seeing in September.
Save By... His Fans?
Remember Screech from Saved By the Bell? Well, he hopes you do because he wants you to give him money to save his house from foreclosure. The check is in the mail, bud.
Kennedy Curse Strikes Again?
Every few years there are rumors that Caroline Kennedy's marriage to Edwin Schlossberg is on the rocks. The New York Daily News speculates about it today. Next month, the couple will be married for 20 years.
No Starr Power
Mischa Barton's boyfriend, Cisco Adler isn't the bread winner. Since May 16, the Whitestarr singer's new album has only sold 812 copies. Let's hope she was wise investing her money from The O.C.
Countdown to Wedding
Mark your calendars: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are getting married next Sunday in Australia. It's okay -- I didn't get my invitation either.

Now that Britney is all grown up, she makes her own decisions -- and that's why she came off as so trashy during her Matt Lauer interview. According to Page Six, she did her own hair and makeup (not-so-smart decisions) and she didn't have her flacks attend the taping of the interview. In fact, when Dateline staffers arrived at her home on the day of the interview, they were so surprised she didn't have minders that they thought they had come on the wrong day.
A publicist would have come in handy during some uncomfortable questions -- like when Brit was asked about Kevin leaving an 8-months-pregnant Shar Jackson for her. Britney defended herself by name dropping that the same thing happened to Julia Roberts when she hooked up with Danny Moder. But Ms. Brit got her facts wrong. Danny was married, but his then-wife, Vera, wasn't pregnant. Clearly Britney's not keeping up on her tabloids.
Britney's publicists are back on the case today though, refuting rumors that Britney plans to give birth in Namibia. According to one of her flacks, that is completely untrue.
PS: Photos of Britney and Sean P. at the beach in Florida. More damage control...
In Anderson Cooper's interview with Angelina Jolie, the superstar admits being "terrified" while giving birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel.
“You know, because you’re there for the birth, which I wasn’t for my first two kids, you’re just suddenly terrified that they’re not gonna take a first breath,” the 31-year-old actress says in an interview to air Tuesday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” (10 p.m. ET). “That was my whole focus. I just wanted to hear her cry.”
She also says that Brad was there for Shiloh's arrival.
“He was in the operating room, yeah, yeah,” she tells Cooper. “And we had amazing doctors. And everybody was so lovely.”
The actress also shared her plans for her next child.
"Next, we'll adopt," she says, but notes she's unsure if it will be a boy or a girl. "It's going to be the balance of what would be the best for Mad and for Z right now."
Are you going to watch this interview? Are you sorta over Brangelina for the time being? Express yourself below.
Brandon Davis, the spoiled brat who went on an apparent drug or alcohol fueled rampage over Lindsay Lohan, is looking at 28 days... in rehab.
According to TMZ, the oil heir -- who once dated Mischa Barton (but I don't know what she saw in him) -- checked into Passages in Malibu last week. The $75,000-a-month center is frequented by celebrity clientele.
"Yes, I am checking into rehab today," the greasy-haired heir reportedly told In Touch earlier in the day at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. "I am on my way right now."
Last month, loser Brandon, who had apparently overindulged while d&ding (drinking & drugging), was captured on camera screaming about Lindsay Lohan. He made numerous crude comments -- all captured on film by the paparazzi -- about Lindsay's anatomy and dubbed her "Fire Crotch." Throughout his tantrum, equally ridic Paris Hilton looked on laughing her boney little buttocks off.
In Friday's Page Six, there was an item that said Brandon's family was insisting that he check into rehab after publicly humiliating their family. They reportedly thought a trip to rehab would be be good PR for their fam.
It's sorta too bad that this brat isn't being sent to scrub toilets somewhere. 28 days in a posh rehab facility doesn't seem like sufficient punishment for such a vile person.
While poor Izzie is in a tailspin over losing Denny, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl has reason to celebrate: She's engaged!
Musician Josh Kelley -- who has one song all about his devotion to eBay -- recently popped the question. They have not set a wedding date.
The couple first met last year when she appeared in a video for his song "Only You." From then on that anthem was all about Katherine -- they fell for each other right away. He later wrote a song just for her called "Katie's Song."
So this seals the deal: Izzie will be back on Grey's in September. After all, Katherine has a wedding to pay for.
I'm off to spend the day with my dad -- he's the best!! -- but I wanted to leave you with a little "daddy" too. Here are really cute candid photos of celebrity dads with their little ones. Some of the guys? Hugh Jackman with Oscar, Jude Law with Iris and Rudy, Brad with Zahara, Heath Ledger with Matilda, and a bunch more.
Hope you guys have a great Dad's day.

Dang, even while hanging with her little boy, James Wilkie, Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a million bucks. Here, mother and son pound the pavement in their New York City neighborhood. Love that dress -- great color! -- but I wonder how she looks so good while she has an active little son who presumably tugs on her all day.
Another daughter for Greg Kinnear? That's as good as it gets.
The actor and his wife, Helen, welcomed their second child on Tuesday in Los Angeles. They named her Audrey Mae.
"Mother and daughter are healthy and resting comfortably. Everyone's very happy," says the actor's rep to People.com.
The couple, who married in 1999, also have a daughter named Lily Kathryn.

Hands down, Gwen and Gavin are my favorite couple right now. They are so cute! And I give Gwennie, Gwen, Gwen props for getting right back out there after the birth of her little boy, Kingston. She's on the go and just living her life. And she looks fantastic -- as usual. Here they are in their Los Feliz, CA neighborhood taking a stroll.
Britney was this week's interview delight. Next week? Angelina Jolie.
Earlier this week, Angelina sat down with Anderson Cooper to tape her first U.S. interview for his show Anderson Cooper 360°. The chit-chat session airs next Tuesday at 10pm on CNN. According to his Website, she'll talk about baby Shiloh, Brad and her passion for refugee relief.
Unlike Britney, I'm sure there won't be any tears over the paparazzi. Despite being the most hunted celebrity in the world, Angelina has figured out a way to use the press attention in her favor – by mentioning the causes that are important to her during interviews. Her media advisor needs to get his or her hands on Britney asap.
I don't know about you guys, but I got such a kick out of the Britney interview. A few things to mention…
I don't think Britney is a bad mother – I agree with her there. I think she's just a new mom, navigating her way through motherhood. I'm sure it's hard – and to do it in the spotlight is even harder. But fame isn't a button that can be turned on and off. She knows that. She's known it from the start – as did her mother, who helped build this career. And she's made a lot of money from it – last night Matt said she's worth about $100 million. She needs to spend some of that money to pull herself together. I suggest hiring a divorce lawyer, a stylist to purchase clothes that cover her body, a driver so there won't be any other driving incidents, and hair and makeup artists. And if she really wants to be out of the limelight, she needs to move to like Barboursville, West Virginia, buy a house on a quiet street and try living a "normal" life. But she'll never do it. She loves fame way too much.
Disagree or agree with me below...
PS: Do you really think she didn't know how far along she is? All my pregnant friends know how far they are to the week -- like "I'm 23 weeks today." Britney doesn't even know what month? Puh-leez. If she didn't want to tell him, she should have just said: "I prefer not to say, Matt." Better than: "I don't know [giggle, giggle]."

Wish me luck! I'll need it.
Update: Here's the link to the Rita Cosby segment on Britney, Jessica Simpson and Taylor Hicks.
J.Lo Thief Guilty
You don’t mess with J.Lo! An ex-con pleaded guilty yesterday to trying to swindle Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony into buying back their stolen wedding video for $1 million.
Madonna Replaces Britney
Now that Britney has dropped Kabbalah, Madonna has dropped her. Well, Madge has found a replacement starlet to bestow her great wisdom on: Lindsay Lohan. Madonna has been advising L2 about her career and they are reportedly talking about collaborating on a song and making a movie together. One of Lindsay’s handlers better step in… Lindsay already has a good movie career. Making a movie with Madonna? That would completely derail it.
No Jail for "Cocaine Kate"
Kate “Hoover Vac” Moss will not face drug charges for the whole “Cocaine Kate” drug scandal last September. She was videotaped doing lines with her then-boyfriend Pete Doherty, who is a severe drug addict, and members of his entourage. Kate has stayed out of trouble since she got out of rehab and has been landing loads of new modeling contracts. Pete is still doing lots of drugs, sticking people with needles and dressing like women.
Sheryl’s Comeback
After being treated for breast cancer, Sheryl Crow is on the road again. She kicked off her summer concert tour, which she speaks about in this new interview with the AP. Glad she’s back!
Nicole Richie is starting to piss me off. Here’s a photo of her out with her ex DJ AM at lunch on Tuesday. If she gets back together with him again, I’m going to scream. It’s not that I don’t want her to be happy and blah, blah, blah – but every time she announces they’ve split I have to put it in iVillage's Celebrity Breakup Tracker. She should cool it with the “We’ve split” press releases if she’s just gonna get back together with him two friggin’ weeks later.
Wow – what a rant! Thanks for listening.
Charlie Sheen has a new, um, victim.
Denise Richards’s soon-to-be ex-husband has a new girlfriend: 28-year-old actress and real estate investor Brooke Mueller.
Sheen's rep tells People magazine, "She's his girlfriend."
On Saturday they made the scene together at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball in Los Angeles. People says Charlie “showed his gentlemanly side” by putting his suit jacket around her shoulders when it got chilly.
How gallant.
My big question here is what kind of a girl would date this cat? He’s such a disaster. Besides the entire situation with Denise (read about the alleged physical abuse, gambling and drug addiction and death threats here), he also is said to have beaten his one-time girlfriend Brittany Ashland and then there’s the whole Heidi Fleiss hooker thing.
I wouldn’t let one of my friends near this guy. But maybe there’s a shady side to Brooke as well?
After all, this Brooke chick goes by three different last names: Mueller, Allen and Wolofsky.
Sometimes celebrities say some of the most ridiculous things, right? I guess that’s why they pay managers, publicists and agents to speak on their behalf -- because sometimes when they’re turned loose, it’s a turn off. Perfect example? Tom Cruise after he fired his longtime publicist Pat Kingsley… and started going ape crap during TV interviews with peeps like Oprah and Matt “Mr. Glib” Lauer.
In this week’s video, I take a look at the five most ridiculous celebrity excuses ever. Like when Winona Ryder…
Wait, instead of me telling you, you should just watch it yourself. Then, tell me what you think. And if you've heard a really bad celeb excuse that I didn’t cover, post it below. There are so many -- and they're really funny to read.
Well at least one Hollywood feud has ended.
Howard Stern and his gal pal Beth Ostrosky saw Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams at Nobu in NYC. Beth was a big fan, so she and Howard approached their table to introduce themselves. Heath and Michelle said hi and sorta blew them off, which totally pissed off Howard, who complained about it on his show. He also made some comments about how he could have slept with Michelle back when she was on Dawson's Creek when she was a guest on his show.
Fast-forward a week. Heath Ledger reads about Howard's rant in Page Six, so he calls Howard to make nice.
"Michelle and I were in a very deep conversation about something in our personal life. I was admittedly a little out of it. I apologize if we came off horribly," Ledger said, according to Stern, who accepted it.
The Nobu run-in was around the time Michelle's dad was arrested on charges of international tax evasion, so it makes sense that they were distracted.
Maybe Page Six can play peacemaker for other feuding folks. Paris and Lindsay could sure use an intervention.

The actor/musician -- whose taste in women has ranged from Angelina Jolie and Cameron Diaz to Lindsay Lohan and Ashley Olsen -- has been making time with Nick Lachey's soon-to-be ex-wife, Jessica.
The Star reports on their recent rendezvous at a NYC nightclub called Double Seven.
“Jared went right over to be near Jess, and sat down next to her. They were talking very closely,” said one source. “Jessica was having a great time. She was dancing and seemed to really be enjoying herself,” said the source. Things got really heated later into the night. “They were draped all over each other. And it’s not like they were trying to hide it – a lot of people inside the lounge saw them openly flirting, and couldn’t believe their eyes. They looked like they were having a lot of fun together. But they didn’t kiss – that was at least one thing they kept out of public!”
A source confirms to People mag that "they're an item," which doesn't make Lindsay all that happy.
"She's telling friends she's furious," says a source close to the actress. "She feels betrayed by Jared."
Whatever -- this Jessica Jared thing won't last long. He's just on a quest to bed every babe in Hollywood. And he's doing a pretty good job.
According to Us Weekly, Zach Braff has scrubbed out of his relationship with Mandy Moore.
“There was no drama,” a source told the mag. “They were ready." One big factor: their nine-year age gap. “Mandy was very young when they got together and she wanted to see what’s out there, now that she’s a woman,” says the source. “Zach was mature and realized it was time to let her do that.”
The split hasn't been confirmed by their reps at this point, but Zach was said to be "on the prowl" at a West Hollywood bar lately. He also tried to get Jessica Simpson's attention, but that didn't work out so well for him.
Who should cute and funny Zach date next? Play matchmaker for him below.
Lindsay & Paris: Still Not Friends
Ignore those reports saying that Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan made nice. On Monday night, Paris walked up to Lindsay at Butter in NYC started shouting at her. One of the first things out of her mouth -- before a barrage of curse words -- was: "I can't believe you and Stavros! You are ridiculous!" Lindsay answered: "That's how you say hello? I don't need to respond to you." Then L-squared left. Lindsay's spokesperson confirmed the incident saying: "Paris tried to pick a fight with her and started screaming at her, but Lindsay took the high road."
David Lynch Yells "Cut" on His Month-Long Marriage
Here's another one for the record books... Director David Lynch has filed for divorce after one month of marriage. He married Mary Sweeney on May 10, 2006 and they separated just one month later. Why bother? They have a 14-year-old son named Riley Sweeney Lynch.
Jerry Lewis Ailing
Comic legend Jerry Lewis is down for the count. He suffered a mild heart attack on Sunday.
Eminem Totes Gun for New Flick
Eminem is set to star in a movie remake of Have Gun -- Will Travel. Pretty funny considering this is the cat who pistol whipped a dude for talking to his then-girlfriend (now ex-ex wife) Kim.
Daryl Hannah Busted
For the last three weeks, Daryl Hannah has been sitting in a tree in a peaceful protest to save a 14-acre fruit and veggie garden from demolition. Yesterday she was arrested and taken to an L.A. jail. This is all well and good -- I'm all about having a cause... but I just keep wondering where she went to the bathroom the last three weeks.
Nick & Vanessa Go From AC to Mexico
After hanging in Atlantic City last weekend, Nick Lachey and his on-again gal pal Vanessa Minnillo are now canoodling in Cabo. PerezHilton has the pics.
While everybody has been obsessing over People's photos of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, OK! landed two great "gets."
The first? Exclusive photos of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's adorable little boy, King. The mag went to the couple's Los Angeles home for a photo shoot, where Gwen told the writer that they're probably going to have to move because they need more space with their new addition. So it's your first look at the baby... and probably the last look at their house.
OK! also landed the first photos of Mira Sorvino and Chris Backus' new baby Johnny Christopher King. The fam -- with their daughter Mattea Angel -- posed for pics at their L.A. home.
I can't believe both boys were given the name King. There's already a Queen in Hollywood -- Queen Latifah -- I wonder if the next trend will be to name kiddies Princess.
Poor Britney can't get a break... but she does ridiculous things.
While shopping for pink thongs at the Victoria's Secret in Mission Viejo, California, Ms. Britney reportedly got down on the floor next to the cash register and changed Sean Preston's dirty diaper right there on the floor.
"Britney then tried to hand it to an employee," a source told Us Weekly. "The salesperson wouldn't take it."
Apparently no one is taking any crap from Britney these days.
Would you be grossed out if you were shopping and this was going on in a store? I guess it's better than at a restaurant... but still. Weigh in below.
Star Jones: Leave My Al Alone!
Over the weekend Star Jones cornered a Page Six reporter to defend her husband, Al Reynolds. She said: "I don't care what people say about me - I have made some mistakes - but they shouldn't talk about Al. He is the kindest, most loving man, and our relationship is so strong and sacred. I can't believe people would think otherwise." I agree with her. If he puts up with her nonsense, he must be the kindest, most loving man around.
Nick Lachey & Vanessa Minnillo: Take Two
Derek Jeter must have had a game out of town last weekend because his on-again/off-again girlfriend was flying solo when she arrived at the Borgata in Atlantic City to see her ex-Nick Lachey. The NY Daily News says that Nick and Vanessa "snuggled up" at the club Mixx. "They were very affectionate," a source told the paper. "They danced together and left together."
Heather Mills McCartney's Secret Life
Was Heather Mills McCartney a hooker? That's the burning question in the papers today. An arms dealer and a Saudi prince both claimed to have slept with her for money. How much? $11,000 for sex with the gun man and $9,000 for a threesome with the prince and another woman. Maybe she doesn't need Sir Paul's money after all. For years the tabloids have been ruthless when it comes to Heather, but this is the icing on the cake. She announced earlier today that she's suing News of the World, the British tab/paper that first reported the story, just as soon as she finalizes her divorce from Paul. Busy lady.
Madonna & Britney: No Longer BFFs
Madonna is reportedly way pissed that Britney dropped Kabbalah. The Scoop says that Madge demanded that Britney return a twelfth-century book on Kabbalah that she gave her as a wedding gift. The source said: “[Madonna] feels she has wasted time, money and precious gifts on Brit.” Britney is now reportedly consulting a "Christian Life Coach" to help her save her marriage to Kevin Federline.
Alec Baldwin Tangles with Patricia Field
Alec Baldwin's endless feud with his ex-wife Kim Basinger isn't the only fight he's got on his hands. Alec is now fighting with Patricia Field -- the fashion goddess in charge of wardrobe on Sex and the City. Diva Patricia was doing the costumes for the upcoming flick The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing, but she recently quit and blamed her departure on Alec's antics. Alec retaliated calling the flame-haired designer a "fruit-salad head, "a "wack job, 24-7" and a "cranky, miserably unhappy woman." Did he steal those names from his divorce filings?
According to Page Six, Orlando Bloom (Mr. Kate Bosworth) and Claire Danes (Ms. Billy Crudup) were snogging on Saturday night.
While taking in a Black Eyed Peas show in Northamptonshire, England on Saturday, they got their groove on -- with each other.
"He was kissing her neck and grinding against her," a snitch told Page Six. "He didn't seem to care who saw it."
Orlando has been on and off with Kate Bosworth for years now. They split briefly in 2004, but reunited last summer while Kate was filming Superman Returns in Australia. Claire is the woman who came between longtime couple Billy Crudup and Mary Louise Parker. When Mary Louise was 8 months pregnant with Billy's baby, he dumped her for Claire.
Stay tuned on this one.

On stealing her "best friend's" husband: "The thing with Heather, that's been hard. You can't help who you fall for and that friendship, unfortunately, was done and wasn't salvageable... People have gone on – 'Would you date your best friend['s husband]? You know, she wasn't my best friend. She was a close friend in the last couple of years. I hadn't known her my whole life [like] people [are] portraying this.... "[It's] been tough having people think that I'm such a crappy friend."
On falling for Richie: "[A relationship was] the last thing I was looking for... It's true when they say things happen when you least expect it."
On getting together with Richie after both of their marriages were over: "We didn't meddle in marriages and anything like that."
On her nasty divorce from Charlie: "Unfortunately the thing with Charlie and I – that was a court document that became public. I didn't hand it to a tabloid and say, 'Here, print this.' And it's sad, and it's horrible that it's gotten to the point that it's gotten to."
On her new outlook on life: "I was always a people pleaser and I just finally got to the point in my life after having my daughters and going through a really ugly divorce ... I've just gotten to the point where life is so short and I just want to be happy."
Are you on team Heather or team Denise? Are you tired of this celebrity feud? Weigh in below.
Funnyman Jack Black and his new bride Tanya Haden have a baby boy.
Jack shared the happy news -- but skimped on the details -- when he talked to Access Hollywood at last night's premiere of Nacho Libre
"Secretly, between you and me, it's already happened. I've got the babe back at home safe and sound, and I'm actually very anxious to get back to my lovin's [loved ones]."
Shortly after the movie started, Jack made a quiet exit from the theater.
All that is known at this point is that the baby was born on Saturday in L.A.
Jack and Tanya met back in high school and reconnected last year. They got married in Big Sur in March.
My friend had a funny star sighting over the weekend. In Dobbs Ferry, New York -- which is a tiny town north of New York City -- Alec Baldwin and his girlfriend pulled up outside The Bagel Authority in his late model, black BMW. After feeding the meter, they went inside and ordered a couple bagels (natch!) and some Snapples. They were dining in, but before they sat at a table the girlfriend called Alec over and handed him some Purell sanitizing wipes. The star of The Hunt for Red October, The Cooler and Married to the Mob gallantly cleaned the table. But not just a quick wipe, wipe -- he went at it, scrubbing the whole table over and over.
Right after my friend told me this story, which I thought was funny -- I like knowing that Alec is a total germophobe -- I saw this in the paper:
A judge wants a psychologist to evaluate Alec Baldwin to determine whether he is fit to see his 10-year-old daughter more often as part of an ongoing custody battle with former wife Kim Basinger... Baldwin was given a week to accept the court-appointed psychologist or the judge said she would select another one. In October, Basinger's attorney said Baldwin suffered from "severe emotional problems" and that he had been accused of domestic violence in the past.
Perhaps they should also test for OCD?
Like I told you earlier, Britney Spears sat down with Matt Lauer over the weekend -- at her house -- for a dishy interview that will air this Thursday on the Today Show and Dateline. Here are photos of Ms. Brit with Mr. Lauer.

Have you seen the new National Enquirer? Well, they have a story claiming that Brad Pitt may not be the father of baby Shiloh Nouvel after all. Do I think it's true? Probably not, but it's worth a look see.
Plus: The Tony Awards used to be all about the stars of stage, but in recent years it's definitely gotten some Hollywood star power behind it. For example, last night Julia Roberts and Oprah headlined the show. We have photos of those ladies and other stars -- like Cynthia Nixon (posing with her girlfriend for the first time), Josh Lucas and some stars from Grey's Anatomy -- in our 2006 Tony Awards slide show.

According to People.com, Isabella Damon arrived on Sunday and weighed in at 7lbs., 7oz.
"Mother and Isabella are doing fine," Matt's rep Jennifer Allen, confirmed to People. "The family is very happy and everyone's healthy."
This is the first child for the Matt and Luciana. Lucy already has a daughter, Alexia, from a previous marriage.
"He's a terrific uncle and he's going to be a wonderful father," Matt's brother Kyle said of his brother. "Thankfully, Lucy has some experience, so that will help. Alexia is a terrific girl. They're all really close, they'll be an intimate family."
I'm sure Matt will have lots more to talk about with his buddy Ben Affleck, who welcomed a daughter last year with Jennifer Garner, as well as his Ocean's Thirteen costar Brad Pitt, whose daughter with Angelina Jolie was born last month.
After taking a beating in the press, Britney Spears decided to sit down with Matt Lauer -- at her home -- to talk about motherhood, her marriage and the manny.
In an interview that's set to air Thursday on Today and Dateline, Miss Brit says she's a "good mom," her marriage to Kevin Spenderline is "awesome" and she's not hooking up with her manny.
Here are some highlights:
At the end of the interview, Britney makes a plea to the 'razzi: "You have babies at home. And...you have a life. And if you don’t, you have to realize that we’re people and that we ... just need privacy and we need our respect. And those are things that you have to have as a human being.”
Should the paparazzi and the media leave Britney alone? Do you agree with her and think she's good mom? Do you hate when celebrities give national interviews and ask to be left alone? Talk back below.

Do you think he's caring and attentive... or creepy and obsessive? Express yourself below.
Oliver Hudson -- son of Goldie Hawn, brother of Kate -- got hitched over the weekend.
Numerous sources report that Kate Hudson's hottie brother married is his longtime girlfriend Erinn Bartlett on Friday in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Approximately 70 guests were in attendance for the sunset nuptials, including family members Goldie and Kurt Russell, Kate and her husband Chris Robinson, brothers Boston and Wyatt and Oliver's biological father Bill Hudson. Kate's two-year-old son Ryder was the ring bearer.
The 30-minute ceremony was officiated by a Buddhist monk, who stood under an altar made of bamboo poles and white fabric. Erinn, who wore a white dress by Les Habitudes, walked down the aisle to a 4-piece orchestra, while all the barefoot guests hid under parasols to beat the heat.
The only person in Erinn's wedding party was Adam Sandler's wife, Jackie Titone. Adam snapped photos of Jackie with a digital camera as the new mom walked down the aisle carrying a bouquet of white roses.
The reception took place at the Club 96.
Congrats!
Let's do one more for good measure... I can't pass on this opportunity for you all to dog Star Jones, so caption this photo as well. Read. Set. Go!

Not too much happening today in the world of celebrity gossip, so let's play 'O Caption, My Caption!
You know the drill: Make up a caption to go along with this picture of Jessica-lite Ashlee Simpson, who has had so much plastic surgery lately she looks almost unrecognizable to me.
Think: Snarky. Snippy. Sassy. Creative. Cute. Go!

With Brangelina returning stateside, they're in the market for a new nanny -- and they're reportedly game for poaching a good caretaker from another famous families.
An L.A.-based nanny for a family in the biz, who comes highly recommended, recently got a call by the company that placed her. They wanted to know if she was happy and blah, blah, blah because they thought that she would be perfect working for another high-profile couple... Brad and Angelina. He said that the job description included 90% travel.
As much as this gal wanted to take a meeting with the most-talked about Hollywood family, she turned down the offer. She knew that her current boss would flip... and she loves the kids she minds.
In other Brangelina news, TMZ reports that Brangelina and clan are moving back to Malibu this weekend. At Brad's pad, new security cameras are in place, booze was delivered and the house has been totally kiddy-ized -- except for Brad's massive art collection.
Too bad the Entourage cameras weren't following Adrian Grenier Wednesday as he and his castmates celebrated the HBO show's new season at P.M. Lounge. Grenier, in a black suit and black tie, slipped out the front door with an Eastern European model and mysteriously returned alone 45 minutes later.
It's like: Have ya seen him? I'm sure this happens three times a night. Who thinks it's surprising?
Britney & Perry Sitting in a Tree...
The press is going crazy about Britney's "manny." The guy -- Perry Taylor -- is like a superstar now. It's insane. So what's the dealio? He's actually her new bodyguard and he's assigned to take care of Sean Preston... unlike, say, the baby's own father. This is Britney's smartest move in months -- hiring a hot guy to cater to her. Perhaps she's not as dumb as we think.
The O'Hurley Spawn
Creepy John O'Hurley and his wife are expecting a kid. I don't know why the man creeps me out so badly, he just does.
Angelina's New Tattoo & Fake Baby?
Angelina Jolie has a new tattoo -- where Billy Bob Thornton's name used to be. What is it? They’re the latitude and longitude coordinates for Cambodia (Maddox’s birthplace) and Ethiopia (Zahara’s birthplace). Will Namibia will be next?
N11º 33’ 0” E104º 51’ 00”
N09º 02’ 00” E038º 45’ 00”
Meanwhile, I'm wondering... Do you think the baby in the photo with Brangelina is really their kid? As Lindsey pointed out -- she looks old for a one-week-old newborn. And I'm wondering why they're so into showing off their kid. Perhaps they hired a stunt baby for the day? Just a thought...
The iVillage parenting team of experts, however, says, "We think she really does look like a one-week old baby, but why not compare her pix to the pix of "real" babies labeled "newborn" in our Snap Happy baby gallery." So, go ahead, browse through the cutie-pa-tootie kiddies and then make your own baby Brangelina call.
I love when people "exchange words" -- funny things come out. Kinda like the time I got into a fight after not-so-wisely taking a jab at a crazy drunk girl's "military" record. But I'll save that story for a rainy day...
Anyway, a Page Six spy gave a play-by-play account of the recent fight between Jeremy Piven and Stephen Dorff at NYC's Bungalow 8 the other night. Here's my written reenactment of the ridiculous exchange:
The Piv is in line for the potty. Dork tries to cut to the front.
Piv (throwing his arm out to block him) : No, no, no. You are going to wait in line like the rest of us, you privileged, spoon-fed son of a bitch.
The Piv turns to the long line of people waiting to pee.
Piv: Anyone wanna see this guy cut the line?
People shake their heads no, prompting Dork to get in Piv's face. Piv doesn't move an inch.
Piv (laughing): What are you gonna do? You're nothing, baby! Nothin'.
Dork turns read and mutters something about having powerful friends and says that Piv has no class.
Dork (leaving): You are done. See you in line for my next movie.
Funny -- I can't name a single movie Stephen Dorff has been in. Can you?
This week's Daily Blabber video is about MTV Movie Awards gossip. Which lusty fella arrived on Jessica Simpson's arm? Who later offered to "tongue box" the soon-to-be single startlet? And who did Jessica Alba call a pervert? Get the scoop on the show -- then see if you agree or disagree with my jabs -- right here.
The show airs tonight at 8:30pm on -- obviously -- MTV. Here are some pictures from the show and red carpet as well.
Finally -- People and Hello! can stop with their ridiculous cease and desist letters. The Brangelina photos are on newsstands… and on the net.
So that Hello! cover circulating earlier this was legit. Here's the link to the cover on their site and they talk a little about the photos.
People also has their cover on their site. In that photo, Brad is staring at the baby and Angie is staring at Brad. Angie's gaze is actually a little creepy to me… What do you think?
Both mags are on sale today, but I'm sure all the photos will be scanned within an hour or two, so I'll link to those when I find them and save you $3.50.
I know – I'm such a pal.
Meanwhile, during yesterday's press conference, Angelina also said that they have no intention of getting married anytime soon.
"There is nothing in the air. The focus is the kids, and we are obviously extremely committed to the children and as parents together," Angie said at a news conference for local journalists at a hotel in the coastal town of Swakopmund. "So that kind of says it for us, and to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing."
So return that food processor to Williams Sonoma, kay?
Update: Here are the photos.
While Denise Richards runs around Paris sucking face with Richie Sambora, Charlie Sheen is still on her mind.
Yesterday, Denise's lawyers met with Charlie's lawyers and agreed to extend the temporary restraining order requiring the Two and a Half Men star to stay away from his soon-to-be ex-wife. This extension is in effect until June 28.
If you remember back, Denise filed some detailed court documents alleging that Charlie was abusive toward her. So he's been ordered to stay 300 yards away from her and all his visits with their two daughters -- Lola and Sam -- must be supervised.
Denise and Charlie have moved on from each other. She took up with Richie a few months back – to the annoyance of her former friend/Richie's estranged wife Heather Locklear. For Charlie's part, he's said to online dating – there's apparently a Web site where millionaire men can meet women.
Millionaire men? Hmmm… maybe I need to check that out. On second thought, I'd rather not if they're anything like gambling, cussing, prostitute-lovin' Charlie Sheen.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie made their first public appearance together today since the arrival of Shiloh.
At a press conference in Namibia, the couple thanked the African country for helping them maintain privacy before, during and after the birth of their baby.
"We have been able to have a very special, peaceful time for our family here, exploring your country and more importantly helping with the delivery of our daughter, Shiloh," Brad told a news conference for local journalists at a hotel in the town of Swakopmund, according to the AP. "So for that we are eternally grateful."
Angie, who gave birth on May 27, was wearing a long black dress. She told the press that she choose Namibia as the place of Shiloh's birth because it's a peaceful place to spend time with her children.
"We both had traveled to Africa and loved this part of the world," said the new mom.
They will stay in the country for a few more weeks before going to Los Angeles where Brad will start shooting Ocean's Thirteen.
Alanis Morissette has a bitter pill to swallow today: Her relationship with Ryan Reynolds is over.
A source close to the couple told People magazine that Alanis and Ryan, who have been engaged for the last two years, have separated. They first met at Drew Barrymore's birthday party in 2002 and started dating shortly after.
Perhaps an indication that their future together wasn't permanent is that they never announced a wedding date. "We're just really enjoying this [engagement] phase," Alanis said in 2005. Ryan added: "We feel like we're already married."
Expect a few male-bashing songs to come out of this split. Alanis's album Jagged Little Pill is said to have been inspired by another ex -- Full House's Dave Coulier, which I still find downright amazing. Uncle Joey caused Alanis to go haywire?
Finally, I have to say that a lot of the gals in my office -- you know who you are!! -- were quite excited that Ryan is single again. There was a mini-celebration in the cubicle pod next to mine. Are you a Ryan Reynolds devotee too? If so, tell me why.

What do you think of these two? Love 'em? Hate 'em? Hopeful that they'll be together forever? Sound off.

As I told you yesterday, Brangelina posed for photos with their new addition, Shiloh Nouvel, and gave the photos to Getty Images to sell. So who was the highest bidder? People magazine!
All the weekly magazine editors were summoned to the offices of the Getty photo agency at Canal and Varick late Saturday night, reports Page Six. "We were sequestered into separate and un-air-conditioned offices," said one. "The photos were shown to us around 10 p.m. to midnight, and then we had to submit bids by 6 a.m. Sunday morning. No one got any sleep at all, as it was a manic game of phone-tag to top each other's bids. I'm convinced it was Brangie's revenge on the weekly magazines." The pictures went to People for $4.1 million.
As I told ya, the money from the sale of the photos goes to an unnamed charity of Brad and Angelina's choice.
Update: Hello! apparently bought the international rights for the Shiloh/Brangelina pics. They confirm their purchase on their Web site, which says: "BRAD PITT AND ANGELINA JOLIE BABY EXCLUSIVE! Don't miss Issue 922 of HELLO!, with gorgeous, exclusive pictures of the Hollywood couple and their baby girl. On sale from Thursday, June 8." The upcoming cover is already popping up in numerous places like Pink is the New Blog, which runs a rather grainy version of the photo. It's also on I'm Not Obsessed. Is it real? Most likely. Besides, the little baby has some full lips.

Sean won Donald Trump's apprenticeship last night. And as he drove away in his fatty new convertible, he screamed: "I'm the apprentice, baby!"
Gotta say that I was pulling for Sean. Despite his endless declaration of love for Tammy, he was -- by far -- the best man for the job. I hope to bump into him in SoHo, so I can hear that cute little accent in person, dahling.
Contrary to what people are saying, Lindsay Lohan is not dating fire(crotch)starter Brandon Davis.
Apparently Brandon's grandmother, richy-rich socialite Barbara Davis, has been telling folks in her circle that after Brandon apologized to Lindsay for calling her firecrotch -- among things -- the dueling duo actually started dating.
According to Page Six, on Saturday night at Kenny G's birthday party – who knew that was a big social event? -- Babs was overheard telling guests: "Brandon is dating Lindsay now!" Her rep backed the story, telling Page Six that Brandon took Lindsay out to dinner last weekend.
So is Brandon "I need to get my mouth washed out and hightail it to rehab" Davis dating Hollywood's hottest young star? Hell to the no, says Lindsay's busy publicist.
"It is unfortunate that Barbara Davis is desperate enough to make up a lie about Lindsay dating her grandson," said Leslie Sloane-Zelnick. "Lindsay took the high road and accepted Brandon's apology last week, but they are not dating and they did not go to dinner together. Lindsay is dating several men who live overseas."
So it sounds like Brandon has a little crush on Lindsay and perhaps he tried to get her attention by misbehaving… kinda like how I used to kick all the boys in the schoolyard during recess with my shiny white patent leather Mary Janes. I was in second grade. What's Brandon's excuse?
You never hear a whole helluvalot from Keanu Reeves. And all the photos I see of him are the same -- he's alone, often on a motorcycle, dressed in dark clothing. The epitome of a loner. So this item from today's Page Six caught my eye:
Keanu Reeves has suffered more than his share of tragedy, with his baby being stillborn at 8 months and the baby's mother dying in a car crash. "Damn it! It's not fair!" he tells Dotson Rader in Sunday's Parade magazine. "When the people you love are gone, you're alone. I miss being a part of their lives and them being a part of mine." Reeves, an admitted loner, also discusses his upbringing - his father abandoned the family, his mother moved around a lot and married a number of times. "I'm trying not to be alone so much. And, man, it's a struggle. I want to get married. I want to have kids... I'll do it. Just give me some time."
Probably the most in-depth thing I've ever heard him say, so I'm a fan... this week. Besides, The Lake House looks really good.
There's some major girl power in the Harrelson household.
Woody Harrelson and his wife, Laura Louie, celebrated the birth of their third daughter on Saturday.
"In this crazy patriarchal world we live in, we are doing our part to balance the energy. We are proud to announce the completion of our goddess trilogy with the birth of our third daughter, Makani Ravello, born on June 3rd," the couple said in an exclusive statement to People.com.
Woody and Laura's other daughters are Denni Montanta and Zoe Giordano. The family resides in Hawaii.
You'll soon get a glimpse of Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt!
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt recently posed with their new addition at a private photo shoot. The pictures will be distributed by Getty Images and all profits will be given to an unnamed charity.
"While we celebrate the joy of the birth of our daughter, we recognize that two million babies born every year in the developing world die on the first day of their lives," the couple said in a joint statement. "These children can be saved, but only if governments around the world make it a priority."
A spokeswoman for Getty told The Associated Press the charity benefiting from the sale of the photos will be named at a later date. She would not disclose how much the pics will cost or when they'll be available.
Since Shiloh arrived on May 27, Brad and Angelina have not made any public appearances. They are probably hoping that releasing these photos will take some of the pressure off of them, but it's unlikely. I predict that every snapshot of this little baby will net big bucks until the world finally tires of Brangelina… and that's not happening anytime soon.
Pretty. Damn. Funny.
That's what I think of the timer in Us Weekly's blog counting down from the last time Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were photographed together. So when was their last photo op? March 25 in Atlanta, which is a looong time for a Hollywood couple to go without getting snapped by shutterbugs -- especially Britney, who is photographed daily.
I'm so waiting for their "We're splitting" press release. It's so close I can smell it.
The Affleck brothers are married off!
After a 6-year courtship, Casey Affleck got hitched over the weekend to Summer Phoenix, uniting two well-known Hollywood families. (Casey is Ben's little brother; Summer is the little sister of Joaquin and the late River.) The couple already have a son -- Indiana August -- who was born in Amsterdam in 2004.
According to People.com, the newlyweds were introduced by Joaquin, who has been pals with Casey since they costarred in To Die For. I totally don't remember Casey in that movie at all -- probably because I couldn't take my eyes off of psycho Joaquin. Anyway, Casey and Summer became engaged over the 2003 Christmas holidays.
In 2002, Summer professed her love for Casey to Us Weekly, saying "I love him so much. Even if he didn't love me, I would have kept on loving him and that would have been that. But I am lucky that I got his love."
This summer, Casey and Summer will spend a good portion of their time in Beantown, where Casey is starring in a movie called Gone, Baby, Gone, which is being directed by... Ben! The bros also worked together in Good Will Hunting, which scored Ben and Oscar and put both of them on the map.
Keep track of all the 2006 celebrity weddings here.

It's adios for Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz.
According to a statement they released to People.com, the couple "decided to take time off as a couple. Due to busy work schedules and so much time apart, they mutually decided four weeks ago that separating was the best thing to do at this time."
Last month, Matthew flew to Spain to visit Penelope while she's filming Manolete, a movie about a Spanish bullfighter. Then he returned to Atlanta, where he's getting ready to wrap We Are… Marshall, a film about the 1970 plane crash that killed most of Marshall University's football team.
Matthew and Penelope had been dating for over a year – they met on the set of Sahara.
Who should Matthew hook up with next? His past girlfriends include Sandra Bullock and Ashley Judd to get a sense of his "type." Play matchmaker for the Sexiest Man Alive below.

Remember why they're fighting? Let me refresh. Last month, Brandon Davis went crazy on Lindsay -- calling her every name in the book -- and it was caught on video by a paparazzo. Paris kept mum while Brandon unleashed his tirade, but she did giggle like an 8-year-old throughout, which was so childish… and almost worse. Lindsay got revenge by hooking up with Paris' ex-boyfriend Stavros. Last week, Brandon reportedly apologized for the name-calling incident, but clearly there was no kissing and making up for Paris and Lindsay... or else these two ladies wouldn't have looked so unhappy when positioned on either side of designer Karl Lagerfeld.
If there was a thought bubble over Lindsay's head, what would she be thinking about Paris? Caption this photo below. Then, catch up on all the other star spats in Feuding Celebs: 12 Raging Hollywood Rivalries.
Unless you're entertainmently challenged -- and you aren't if you read the Daily Blabber! -- you know that Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston are starring in a little movie called The Break-Up, which opens today. And it was while making this movie that Vaughniston -- as they are now known in the world of pop culture -- hooked up. Although they prefer not to discuss their relationship, they both talk around it while being grilled in interviews. And that was the case when one of iVillage's reporters hit the Break-Up junket. Here's what Vince has to say about Jen, relationships, sequels and more…
Was it a particular breakup that made you want to write this?
Whenever I got scripts for romantic comedies, they always had some bizarre subplot that really didn’t have anything to do with relationships -- like if you don’t marry the girl, you will not inherit the family fortune. Or "I have to write an article for a paper and oops -- I really did fall in love with the girl. What do I do?" I always felt that relationships were odd enough as they are.
I actually had the idea 10 years ago because I loved the movie The Odd Couple. As I got older, I realized a lot of people were buying places together because they didn’t want to spend money on rent -- they wanted to have ownership and make their money work for them. And I had friends who ended up in that position, where they were no longer wanting to date the other person and were not married but no one could afford the place on their own. So it seemed modern in that.
It wasn’t based on any one relationship, but there are elements of relationships that I had. And I thought there was stuff that was very universal -- like not remembering to bring home 12 lemons and having the argument be about the lemons but really about so much more than the lemons, but that being the vehicle to discuss stuff.
The chemistry between you and Jennifer jumps off the screen…
What are you alluding to? Where’s my publicist! [Laughs]

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn's romantic comedy The Break-Up opens today and is expected to do really well -- a la Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's "coming out" film Mr. and Mrs. Smith. With all the hype for this movie -- and the Vaughniston relationship -- I had to make sure that we got all the scoop on the two lead actors at the Break-Up press junket. So here are some highlights from Jennifer's interview -- and I'll post Vince's later. Enjoy!
Talk about your experiences in Chicago. Is it your kind of town?
Chicago is my kind of town, yes. I just had a ball there. There’s just something about the people -- hey are kind, respectful. There's an energy when you walk through the streets of Chicago. You just feel great. And as far as the food, the architecture, the theater, the museums, you just have so much. I absolutely love it.
Are you a martini girl?
I am pretty much a creature of habit. So yeah, if I have a cocktail, it’s probably a going to be a martini -- straight, dirty.
Can you talk about the irony of playing a breakup -- and having one -- at a similar time in your life?
The irony of it, well, yeah, pretty ironic. When I first got the phone call that a movie called The Break-Up was coming, I kind of laughed and thought: That’s funny. And sure enough it was. I found it like a sign or something to do it because it was, in a way, a cathartic thing. I felt very lucky in a way that it came to me. If this had come to me at any other point in my life, I don’t know if I would be have been able to really get it for myself on the level I would have wanted to as an actor.
The arguments in the movie are so believable. Were they exhausting at the end of the day?
No, we had a ball! We had such a strict rehearsal schedule. We were in there for two weeks straight, nailing down every scene. We walked through it, we improv'd. Some scenes didn’t get touched -- like the [scene involving the] 12 lemons. That was perfectly written. And it was more fun than anything, because it's so relatable. Everybody -- everybody -- was sitting there going: "Oh my God, it always is about 12 lemons versus three!" Those are the fights that people have or the silly arguments. So it was kind of fun in the irony of it all. It was good.
What kind of girl are you in reality? Are you the one who asks for lemons and do you do the dishes at all?
Oh yeah! I’m a little crazy about doing dishes. I definitely like a clean kitchen before I go to bed. So that is true. But doesn’t everyone? All girls?
Monaco’s Prince Albert II has yet another secret child. This time it's a 14-year-old girl, Jazmin Grace Rotolo, who lives in California.
Albert – the son of the late Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly – reportedly wanted to keep the girl's paternity a secret until she became an adult. (So thoughtful of him!) But he allowed his lawyer to confirm it because at the speculation was causing stress for the girl.
Albert, ruler of the tiny Mediterranean principality, “officially recognizes a paternity that was legally established a few weeks ago,” lawyer Thierry Lacoste was quoted as saying in France’s Le Figaro newspaper.The prince’s daughter, who lives in Palm Springs, is welcome in Monaco, Lacoste said, but she cannot take the throne and will not bear the Grimaldi family name. Neither will Albert’s other illegitimate child**, 3-year-old Alexandre.
Albert met the girl's mother, Tamara Rotolo, in 1991 when she was vacationing on the Cote d'Azur.
Can you imagine waking up one day and realizing that your father's a prince? It's like one of those Disney movies. It's just too bad her prince daddy seems to be such a loser.
** -- I hate, hate, hate the phrase "illegitimate child." Doesn't it make it seem like the kid did something wrong? It's just so cold.
Didn't it feel like Rachel Weisz was pregnant for eternity?
Well, the Oscar winner finally gave birth to a baby boy on Wednesday in New York City. The little fella's father is director Darren Aronofsky, who directed Rachel's next project: The Fountain. They're engaged.
No word on the name yet, but earlier this year Rachel said it would be a simple name because Aronofsky is a mouthful. Backstage at the Academy Awards she told reporters that it wouldn't be Oscar either. We'll have to wait and see what they picked.

Anna Nicole Smith is expecting a little sugar pie.
According to the New York Daily News, Anna's sometime boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who is the father of the baby-in-progress, 'fessed up to new addition.
"I was told by [Anna's lawyer/BFF] Howard K. Stern to deny the pregnancy," Birkhead said from his home state of South Carolina. "But I'm not denying it anymore for legal, moral and ethical reasons. I'm not denying she's pregnant, and I'm not denying I'm the father.
So why was it a secret in the first place? Two reasons. 1) Anna Nicole stands to inherit $1.6 billion dollars from her later husband J. Howard Marshall's estate. If Anna's pregnant – and not married to the father -- it could work against her in court. Make her look like some type of maneater. 2) Larry's friend suggests that Howard is in love with Anna.
"He's in love with her," a friend of Smith's claims. "He is jealous that she is pregnant by another man." Birkhead claims Stern has been bullying him to keep his mouth shut.
I can totally see Howard being in love with Anna… he had all the signs during Anna's reality show.
Meanwhile, in other news:
Now that Angelina popped, we need a new Hollywood mom-to-be to obsess over.
Update: Anna Nicole confirms she's pregnant in a home video journal on her site. It's unclear if she's still with this Larry guy.
Jake and Natalie sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
So I didn't believe the whole Jake Gyllenhaal/Natalie Portman thing until I saw photos of it with my own eyes. And? Well it definitely looks like something is going on.
Although there was rumor that Jake was dating an Olympian, he was making puppy dog eyes with Natalie a week ago in NYC. He gave her flowers, they kissed on the lips, romantic dinner -- lots of date things.
Do you think they make a good couple? I do. Way better than his forever fling with Kirsten Dunst... she bugs me.
Based on your comments in some of my recent Brangelina blogs, you guys are over reading about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's new addition. Don't blame ya. I'm over writing about the kid. So in this week's Daily Blabber video, I thought I'd try to be a little funny... and predict where the members of the Jolie-Pitt clan will be in 20 years. So have a look, then tell me where you think they'll be in 2026. Still together? Donesville? Reunited with former flames? Anything goes.
The Soul Patrol is going to love this bit of news: Taylor Hicks has signed a record contract!
After nabbing the Idol title last week, Taylor had another great day today when it was announced that he has inked a record deal with Clive Davis. Clive was a guest on the show this season.
The first two of Taylor's songs -- “Do I Make You Proud” and “Takin’ It to the Streets” -- will be released on June 13. A full-length album is expected later this year.
“He definitely has his own sound,” Davis told the AP. “He does have that gift, you know who it is when you hear him.”
If a quarter of the people who voted for him buy his album, he'll be a very rich man.
