Paul McCartney's long and winding road with Heather Mills is on the expressway to Overville.

Sir Paul has filed for divorce from Heather in what is expected to be one of Britain's most expensive breakups. In the papers, Paul -- who never made Heather sign a prenup to protect his $1.5 BILLION fortune (duh!) -- is said to call his soon-to-be ex both "unreasonable" and "argumentative."

Heather's mouthpiece, Phil Hall, issued his own statement saying that Heather is upset about the reports.

“Heather’s going to be filing her own counterclaims about matters both in this country and America. She does not feel the need to repudiate claims that she may be headstrong or feisty. She is hugely disappointed that matters of such a confidential nature should be aired in public and feels it is inappropriate to speak about such delicate matters when a child is involved.”

Way to bring baby Beatrice into this, Heather. Trying to win some sympathy points?

Paul was warned not to marry Heather, but he did anyway in 2002. They split in the spring after less than four years of marriage and 100s of denials that their marriage was on the rocks.

So... who should Paul date next? Let's play matchmaker for the former Beatle:
Sheryl Crow: She's single after Lance and has a thing for older rockers -- like Eric Clapton. Maybe Paul and Sheryl will make music together?

Geri Halliwell: The former Spice Girl -- who is single -- just had a baby. Maybe she and Paul could get together, change nappies and talk about the good old days they both had with their respective bands.

Yoko Ono: Considering they hate each other, this would be the match from hell. But wouldn't it be funny if their years of animosity stemmed from the fact that they secretly had crushes on one another? Hey, anything's possible.

Christie Brinkley: Paul is such a total believer in love and he's been looking for a true soulmate since he lost his beloved wife Linda. So how about another hopeless romantic: Christie Brinkley. She's blonde (Paul loves the blondes), loves kids (she has three; Paul has five) and they both have houses in Long Island, NY's the Hamptons. That could make those getting-to-know-each-other dates very convenient.

Last week they were photographed separately leaving Gisele's birthday party. Now, over the weekend, Gisele was at Leo's beach house in Malibu, where she was spotted playing with his dog on the beach and chatting up his mom, Irmelin.

Although photogs didn't snap photos of Leo with Gisele, it doesn't mean he wasn't there – he could have been hiding from photogs. After all, he does have a girlfriend, model Bar Rafaeli, who is reportedly off working (which means making a pouty face while looking perfect in a bikini).

Do you think Leo and Gisele should reunite? Do you even care about the former party boy? Talk back below.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. And if you can do it in a white, string bikini? Even better.

Pamela Anderson decided to give marriage another try, getting hitched to Kid Rock (aka Robert Ritchie) on Saturday aboard a yacht in Saint-Tropez. And, like her first wedding to Tommy Lee, Pam decided to marry in a white string bikini.

Is there seriously a string bikini out there that would support those ta-tas? Poor string.

Anyway, Pam -- who was also wearing a captain's hat -- and Kid exchanged vows in front of a mostly celeb-free crowd. Elton John's husband David Furnish was there as was Jimmy Choo owner Tamara Mellon, who is Kid Rock's ex and was reportedly in the wedding party.

"She was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen – like a modern-day Brigitte Bardot," Tamara told People. "Kid Rock was a total rock star. He gave her a good kiss. Everybody was crying." Added David: "It was a real rock n' roll wedding."

Pam plans to post photos from the wedding on her official Web site.

Pam and Kid are now off on a bit of a wedding whirlwind. They also plan to tie the knot in ceremonies on U.S. soil – Michigan, California and Tennessee.

No word on whether she'll be wearing actual clothing at any of those other ceremonies.

Finally, Johnny Depp's Pirates of the Caribbean has been overpowered. Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx's Miami Vice landed the top spot at the box office over the weekend.

Here is the estimated box office business over the weekend:

1. Miami Vice, $25.2 million
2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest, $20.5 million
3. John Tucker Must Die, $14 million
4. Monster House, $11.5 million
5. The Ant Bully, $8.2 million

To celebrate Colin and Jamie's success – as well as the return of Miami Vice -- try the new game Celebrity Concentration: Small Screen to Silver Screen, where you match scenes from TV shows (like the original Miami Vice) to a scene from the corresponding movie version.

Fun, addicting and a great way to ease back into the work week.

Mel Gibson's passions apparently don't include those of the Jewish faith.

As I told you Friday, Mel was tossed in the can after being arrested for suspicion of drunk driving. But apparently that is the least of his worries. While the Oscar winner was in custody, the actor, whose behavior has grown increasingly bizarre over the years, unleashed a series of anti-Semitic remarks.

According to the arrest report on TMZ.com, in addition to threatening his arresting officer and trying to escape, Mel reportedly said: “F***ing Jews. The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world,” and asked the officer: “Are you a Jew?”

He also cussed out the police officers in general, saying things like: "You mother f****r. I'm going to f*** you." The police officer's report also said: "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."

Of course there was major damage control done by Mel's camp over the weekend. On Saturday he released a statement apologizing for the fiasco and blaming his comments on his "battle with the disease of alcoholism." Here's his "apology":

Lindsay "Party Her Panties Off" Lohan is in hot water with her boss.

She's been working on the movie Georgia Rule, but she keeps missing work and it's totally pissing off the movie company honchos. (She was hospitalized for dehydration earlier this week -- after being out all night the night before. Right after she was released from the hospital, she was out on the town again for dinner.) The big boss of Morgan Creek productions fired off a letter to the party girl starlet threatening legal action against her for what he calls irresponsible and unprofessional" behavior.

Here's the bitch out:

Mel was pulled over this morning on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu and was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving. He spent some time in the can, but was released on $5,000 bail.

If the Pacific Coast Highway sounds familiar – that's the busy Malibu stretch Britney Spears made famous when she was photographed driving on it with Sean Preston on her lap.

But enough of Britney – poor Mel! I wonder if the church devotee – who has his own church in Malibu -- got a little crazy at mass and downed all the wine.

Uh-oh -- someone better get his Braveheart behind to confession!

ER star Maura Tierney's marriage has flatlined.

According to People.com, Maura has filed for divorce from her husband of 13 years, actor Billy Morrissette. She cited irreconcilable differences. They have been separated since March 7.

The couple met on a blind date, which took place in the revolving lounge at the top of the Hollywood Holiday Inn. They were set up by mutual friends.

Although they had no children, they have a black pug named Rose-Kennedy -- a nod to Maura's Massachusetts roots.

Maura recently returned to the set of ER after her spring/summer hiatus. She's been playing Abby Lockhart since 2000. Maybe she'll hook up with ER's newest cast member, John Stamos. Wouldn't they would make a good-looking pair?

Page Six suggests that the real reason Prince split with his wife is because he's become a smitten kitten with his new protégé, Tamar.

Celebrity photo agency X17 has photos of Leonardo DiCaprio and his ex Gisele Bundchen rendezvousing. So much for the gossip that Leo and his new girlfriend Bar somebody are getting serious.

Carmen Electra is denying that she's hooking up with Jamie Foxx. That's funny – I can see denying you're hooking up with Dennis Rodman, but I'd let the Jamie Foxx rumor go.

Britney Spears is in hot water… with her former pool boy.

Jon LaLanne – son of exerciser extraordinaire Jack LaLanne-- has gone to the press after getting canned by Britney. He says Britney kicked him to the curb because he was talking with K-Fed too much.

“I was hanging out a little bit,” the ex-employee told In Touch Weekly. “She came out screaming at Kevin for lying around, then looked at me like I was to blame.” The next day, Jon got a call from Brit's peeps telling him not to report for work.

The pool boy says that Britney is such a jealous housewife, that she gets mad if anyone talks to her husband.

“She wants Kevin on a leash,” Jon told the mag. “She fires everybody. I figured, ‘Why not me?’ I just didn’t expect her to be so mean.” He adds: “It’s a revolving door there. She’s not the nice person everyone thinks she is.”

Who thinks she's really nice?

The votes are in… and Simon Cowell is not a good boyfriend.

According to the British tabs, Simon has been cheating on his girlfriend, entertainment reporter Terri Seymour. The object of Simon's affection? A 21-year-old British reality TV star named Jasmine Lennard.

Doesn't Jasmine Lennard sound like a porn star name?

Apparently Jazzy – who has a b-friend – was dropped off in a limo at Simon's London mansion at midnight on Wednesday morning. Despite the temperatures, she was wearing a big fur coat. But when she got inside, she is said to have stripped it off to reveal nothing but lingerie. She stayed until the morning, but when she left she was photographed by a waiting paparazzo.

Hilariously, Simon's rep insists that the late-night get together was "a meeting to discuss TV projects."

Jazzy is a colorful character. She likes to hook up with both men and women. As a teen, she had hot and heavy relationships with coke and Ecstasy, spending time in rehab at the same time as Kate Moss.

This whole thing doesn't surprise me. A friend of a friend actually hooked up with Simon last year. They met at a wedding and went home together. They didn't sleep together… but that wasn't from a lack of trying on Simon's part.

Forget the dog pound for this Idol star – he's totally in the doghouse.

Yesterday, Nick stopped by TRL to plug his album, What's Left of Me. But even though he and Vanessa were getting hot and heavy at NYC's Butter the other night, they barely looked at each other throughout his appearance on her show. Here's a photo of one of the rare moments he even glanced her way.

Why so awkward, kids?

Meanwhile, I walked through Times Square yesterday while Nicky was taping and the young girls were out in full force! The cute little blondies were four deep – with their camera's and cellphones in hand.

I hope Nick at least showed those girls some love.

Not only has Leah Remini seen Suri Cruise, but so has Jada Pinkett Smith -- twice. And I like to believe that Mrs. Will Smith would keep it real and not lie about the child's existence.

"She's one of the sweetest babies I've ever met in my life," Jada tells People. "She's an absolute beauty and she's Daddy's little girl. She's got a head full of black, beautiful hair."

Jada also said that Tom is "excellent," Katie is "loving every single second" of motherhood and they both just "need to be left alone."

In other TomKat news, Page Six reports that the couple will not marry this weekend – which I guess is some big rumor I haven't heard, nor really care about.

Tom's saintly mouthpiece says, "As far as I know the plans are for late summer, early fall."

Or never!

Pamela Anderson does everything big – just look to her boobs for confirmation of that. So she's got some big plans in the works for her upcoming wedding to Kid Rock.

Make that weddings.

"I'm going to get married a few times this month to the same guy," said Pammy during press conference yesterday. Pam – who was wearing a veil -- was in Vegas to promote her new online gaming site, PamelaPoker.com.

Pam and Kid will get hitched on Saturday in the South of France. The festivities will take place on a boat, a beach and then a club.

Shortly after, they'll begin a U.S. wedding tour, where they'll get hitched three more times.

"We had to do Malibu, we've got to do Detroit, and we've got to do Nashville. If Bob knew he was getting married five years ago in St. Tropez, he wouldn't have believed it."

No word on their honeymoon plans, but I'm pretty sure it won't involve a sex tape. The one Pam made on her honeymoon with Tommy Lee became one of the most popular sex tapes out there. And Kid Rock has a sex tape of his own –- with Creed's Scott Stapp and a bunch of groupie girls. Besides, I don't the world can handle another video of Kid Rock doing the deed. The thought is pretty horrifying.... though I wish him well with Pam.

Lindsay Lohan has a new boyfriend, so they're having a cross-country tongue-down fest this summer – when she isn't being hospitalized for her ailment of the day. When Mischa Barton's not getting groped by Cicso Adler, she's summering in London, where she's taking acting some much-needed classes. Scarlett Johannson – with her lips that rival Angelina Jolie's – is working hard and playing hard… with her boyfriend/Black Dahlia costar Josh Hartnett. And Laguna Beach's Kristin Cavallari is trying to turn her reality TV success into a career... by making the scene at every friggin' event imaginable.

These starlets are so all over the place, it's exhausting!

In this week's Daily Blabber video blog, I take a look at the rise and fall of the celebrity "It" girl – from step one: bursting on the scene to step eight: getting C-listed and doing anything for attention.

Have a look.

Perhaps she was always in his hair?

Bizarro music icon Prince is swingin' single. He and his wife Manuela Testolini Nelson are divorcing.

The divorce papers were actually filed on May 24, which makes Prince's divorce this year's best kept secret. Usually the public knows about a celeb's split before the star's close friends, family... or, sometimes, the person they're divorcing.

Prince and Manuela -- who look Prince's last name, Nelson -- got hitched in 2001. They met through his charitable foundation.

Prince was previously married to Mayte Garcia from 1996 through 1998, when their union was annulled.

Keep up with this year's many Hollywood splits – from Carmen & Dave to Charlie & Denise – in the Celebrity Breakup Tracker.

As if Britney Spears needs anymore trouble in her life, she's reportedly having a very difficult second pregnancy.

In Touch is reporting that the mom tart went into false labor on July 15. Although a family member tells the mad that "She's fine now," Brit has her doctor on speed dial just in case anything comes up.

During her first pregnancy, Britney also had a few scares -- and made a few emergency

visits to the hospital.

Brit's doctor has warned her that she may spend the last month of her pregnancy on bed rest, though a friend says she's doing everything she can to prevent that from happening.

Poor Brit -- no cracking on her today.

Candy Spelling may get the last laugh in her bitter feud with her daughter, Tori.

According to the new Us, Tori, who stood to inherit millions for her late father's $500 million estate, she will get just 0.16% of her daddy's bucks. Tori gets a cash inheritance of $200,000 plus about $600,000 in investments that her father had set up for her.

“I believe Candy had a lot to do with what was left for Tori,” the source says of Tori’s mother, who is sole managing executor of the estate. (Candy’s rep had no comment.)

"I'm moving on with my life," said the So NoTORIous star as she shopped at a pawnshop with her new husband, Dean McDermott. "I'm just focusing on starting a loving and healthy family with Dean." Another source tells the mag that the newlywed "doesn't have enough money to buy an apartment, let alone a house."

I really feel for poor Tori. I mean, now she's going to have to earn her own money -- like the rest of us poor slobs who slave away from 9 to 5 in thankless jobs.

What am I talking about? I regurgitate celebrity gossip all day. I have no beef!

But seriously… I feel a little sorry for Tori. Why should her wacky mom get all the money? This is a lady who had two gift-wrapping rooms in her mansion. And an eBay room. Not to mention she started dating before her husband even died. Methinks they should donate all the money to charity instead of stomping around like they've been wronged.

Do you feel bad for Tori? Do you think she's getting what she deserves? Express yourself.

Jim Carrey hasn't had much luck romancing Hollywood ladies (Renee Zellweger and Lauren Holly are exes), but it seems like he's going full-speed ahead with his relationship with Jenny McCarthy: They're rumored to be getting hitched!

'"Jim calls Jenny 10 times a day," an insider tells The Scoop. "Jenny's been busting at the seams to scream her love from the rooftops."

Despite Jenny's urge to scream, both of their spokespeeps deny an engagement. Not that means much of anything these days – publicists are pretty much paid to lie for their clients.

According to rumors, a wedding could take place as early as Labor Day... and the divorce could take place as early as New Year's Day. Just kiddin' about the divorce part, but it's not completely out of the realm of possibility, right?

Rosie O'Donnell has nabbed a big-name guest to appear on The View on her first day: Jessica Simpson.

Apparently Rosie and Jess are old pals from back in the day when Rosie had her old talk show, The Rosie O'Donnell Show. So Ro called up Jess and asked her to come on to promote her new album, A Public Affair.

Rosie's big "get" is a bitch slap at Star Jones, who never nabbed any big name guests during her tenure on the show.

Rosie makes her View debut on September 5.

After recently being spotted at a gay bar in Cape Cod's Provincetown, Lance tells People mag: Yep, I'm gay.

"I knew that I was in this popular band and I had four other guys' careers in my hand, and I knew that if I ever acted on it or even said [that I was gay], it would overpower everything," says Bass, referring to bandmates Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, JC Chasez and Justin Timberlake. "I didn’t know: Could that be the end of ’N Sync? So I had that weight on me of like, ‘Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it's bad.' So I just never did."

"The thing is, I’m not ashamed – that’s the one thing I want to say," he explains of his decision to come out. "I don't think it's wrong, I'm not devastated going through this. I'm more liberated and happy than I’ve been my whole life. I'm just happy."

Now that this whole thing is out in the open, Lance is planning on his next project: an Odd Couple-type sitcom – with Joey Fatone – in which his character will be gay.

Here's why I like Luke Wilson. During a recent interview with EW, he complained that it bugs him when celebrities talk about how grounded they are.

"That's just a real red flag. It's like, 'I like to work on classic cars and ride Arabian horses -- it keeps me grounded. The other 2 hours of the day I'm a f------ a------.'"

I couldn't agree more.

Maybe the My Super Ex-Girlfriend isn't the hottest kid on the playground, but his down-to-earth attitude is totally charming. I think he's my new Hollywood husband. Well -- at least for today.

Alec Baldwin will soon be on the prowl again…

Ugh – what a thought!

The star of 30 Rock has split with his girlfriend, Nicole Seidel, after over four years of dating. The reason behind the split, according to his camp, is his ex-wife, Kim Basinger, who has made it really extremely difficult for Alec to see their daughter, Ireland.

"The stress of the custody hearings took its toll," one of Alec's peeps told Page Six. "They're still friends, and Alec thinks Nicole's great."

In other couples news, Carmen Electra seems to be moving on from her soon-to-be ex-husband Dave Navarro. According to Page Six, Carmen was seen getting cozy with Jamie Foxx the other night at Hollywood club Element.

"Jamie's arm was around Carmen more than once and whispers were exchanged several times," a spy told the tab. "No one saw them kissing, but they left together out the back. It seemed like they were out on a date."

And don't forget that Pam Anderson and Kid Rock are getting hitched on Saturday in St-Tropez. Pammy's working on the last minute wedding plans as I type. One of her orders of business? Asking Kid's ex-girlfriend -- Jimmy Choo shoe designer Tamara Mellon -- to be a bridesmaid.

Clearly Pam has no jealousy issues.

I mentioned yesterday that there was a rumor floating around that former X-Files star Gillian Anderson is pregnant. Well, it's no rumor. It's fact.

People confirms that Gillian and her new boyfriend, businessman Mark Griffiths, are expecting a baby at the end of the year.

Gillian already has an 11-year-old kid from her first marriage – a daughter named Piper. There are no children from her second marriage, which ended in April.

As for the boyfriend, the only real tidbit about him is that he used to date Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell, who is a new mum herself.

In other bump news, the Brits are reporting that Destiny's Child's Kelly Rowland is two months pregnant.

"It's kind of a bitter-sweet feeling because I was planning to release an album next year," Kelly reportedly told the Mirror.

Doesn't she know the three month rule?

Christie Brinkley's husband is begging for forgiveness.

In today's Cindy Adams column, the gossip diva reports that Peter Cook is trying to win back his superwife. Peter, through his lawyer, Norman Sheresky, asked Cindy to deliver this message:

"I love my wife. I have loved her since the day I met her. Please . . . I love her."

Then: "For a lifetime I've tried to prove how much I love her. This is an aberration."

Then, amid tears: "I'm sorry. I'm contrite. I'm stupid. Foolish. No excuse."

Peter's lawyer – a high-profile divorce attorney who helped James Gandolfini end his marriage -- also told Cindy that Christie and Peter have are no plans to divorce at this time.

"What coming divorce action? There is no divorce proceeding that is proceeding. Christie Brinkley has not sued her husband. He hopes there's no divorce. If she wants one, and he certainly hopes this doesn't happen, but if -- it will not be nasty. She can have whatever she wants."

The lawyer also wants peeps to feel bad for Peter, saying: "He's just going to his office where he's hounded. He's just sitting . . . and . . . crying."

Poor Peter. But just a thought: Maybe if he didn't sleep with a 17-year-old, none of this would have happened.

Matthew McConaughey, in Malibu, soaking wet. This is way better than an iced latte. Enjoy the tasty treat.

The 18-year-old from Puerto Rico went backstage after the show to pose for photos and take questions. Then it was lights out, nobody's home. Luckily, someone caught her before she smashed her new tiara.

As Miss Universe, Fainty Rivera Mendoza gets to travel the world for a year on behalf of charities and pageant sponsors. She also gets a yearlong salary, a NYC apartment and a modeling contract.

Sadly, she doesn't get a personal catcher.

One of the best books I ever read was The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory, which is about Anne Boleyn's sister Mary. Well, it's being Hollywood-ized. According to Page Six, Natalie Portman has been tapped to play Anne, Scarlett Johansson will play Mary and wonder from Down Under Eric Bana will play Henry VIII. The movie starts filming in October. I pray it's half as good as the book.

Jessica Simpson may be tres annoying, but ole girl has a killer bod. ($#%&@!) Here she is in Cabo, where she celebrated her birthday. I'm so getting a salad for lunch.

I'm quite depressed to report that Tina Fey is leaving Saturday Night Live, where she has been for the last 9 years. Big boo hoo. She's going to focus on her new baby – 30 Rock – another NBC show, which goes behind the scenes of a late night show. While I'm optimistic about 30 Rock – Alec Baldwin is a regular – I'm glad she's sticking close to home just in case 30 something doesn't work out. I love me some Tina Fey. Girl cracks me up.

Speaking of crack… If you can't laugh about your drug problem, what can you laugh about? Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip's Aaron Sorkin had a slip of the tongue over the weekend when he referred to some TV programs as "bad crack in the schoolyard." The uberproducer was arrested in 2001 for possessing coke, mushrooms and pot. Matthew Perry, who stars in the show, made sure Aaron didn't sweat it out on his own. After Aaron's slip, Matthew joked about "bad Vicodin in the schoolyard." MP's Vicodin addiction is said to have caused his crazy weight gain and loss during his Friends tenure.

Uncle Jesse Blackie Parrish (aka John Stamos) is going to be a series regular on ER this season. Forget Christie Brinkley. Has John Stamos aged a bit since the '80s? Well, the mullet is gone (thank god!), but he still has that same baby face. Meanwhile, John's ex-wife, Rebecca Romijn is reportedly going to marry Jerry O'Connell in September on a tropical island. Why don't I see those two as happily ever after material?

Couldn't afford Madonna tickets? Don't sweat it. She's taping a two-hour special in London this summer and it will air in November.

Heather Locklear needs an intervention.

According to People, the Melrose Place vixen has a new tattoo: the word "Finch" newly tattooed above a heart. Although Heather's peeps deny it, the tattoo is reportedly a nod to her "secret" boyfriend David Spade. Although the meaning behind the tat seems obvious -- David played Dennis Finch on Just Shoot Me -- Heather's camp says that it has absolutely nothing to do with David. (Yeah right!) Instead, it means "she's free as a bird."

Then why not a sparrow, cardinal… or chicken? A finch is a little too ironic, right?

If the ink is a tribute to her new boyfriend, I think somebody needs to step in and give Heath a talking to. Doesn't she know that inking a tribute to her SO is like the kiss of death for a Hollywood relationship? It's like when a celebrity couple costars in project together – expect a press release about their impending divorce within the year.

In fact, I think Los Angeles County should pass a law requiring all celebrities to have a mandatory six month waiting period before they do anything crazy – like tattoo their new boyfriend's nickname on their ankle or, gasp, get married. Put some thought into these things, people.

I predict a trip to the laser surgeon coming. In six months Finch will simply read "Fin" -- a la Johnny "Wino Forever" Depp.

It feels like it's been ages! I'm back from my fantabulous vacation, and I'm tan, rested and ready for gossip. I really didn't read too much while I was gone, so forgive me if I'm still in vacation mode today. I'm still on "Vineyard time."

The one thing I did follow a wee bit is the whole Christie Brinkley/Peter Cook fiasco. What a louse, right? I can't believe Ken cheated on Barbie! But suddenly Christie's popularity points have soared. People are buzzing about her again. This is the most press she's gotten since the National Lampoon's era. To her credit, ole girl hasn't aged a day since the '80s. She looks incredible. Perhaps that Total Gym that she shilled with Chuck Norris really did work.

Note to self: See if that's still available.

The whole Cookie Nookie scandal gave me a big old flashback to last summer's Nannygate. Gotta love that horndog Jude Law. Nannygate also happened while I was on the Vineyard -- last summer -- and I couldn't get enough. From Jude's press release confirming he banged the nanny to Sienna's mum publicly berating Jude, it was the best drama of the year.

By the way, the heck has happened to Jude. Two years ago, he was the next "It" guy. He put out 6 movies that year. He was up for an Oscar. Now he's seen jogging around L.A. in his underpants. And so I digress.

Anyway, I'm glad to be back. In addition to missing gossip, I missed you guys... even those of you who like to call me bad names. Just FYI, "bitch" is a term of endearment in my circle. You'll have to do way better than that. ;)
More later --

Poor Colin Farrell. Even after a much-needed (by his own admission) trip to rehab, he still can't steer clear of the crazy.

While taping an appearance on Jay Leno's Tonight Show yesterday, a woman, identified by Access Hollywood as Dessarae Bradford, ran out of the audience section of the studio and towards Farrell, before she was stopped and removed from the taping by security.

Who is Dessarae Bradford? In 2004 she filed a lawsuit against the Miami Vice star, claiming he was stalking her. The suit was dismissed in 2005. Bradford is also infamous for writing a book in which she details an alleged and very graphic sexual encounter with Alec Baldwin. Wanna buy the book? It'll set you back $19.99, which might be a waste of cash since the title pretty much gives you the gist of the romp.

Score one for Perez Hilton, who posted a very juicy – and surprising – not-so-blind item. According to Perez, rumors about Sienna Miller dumping Jude Law and dating her current co-star can't be true . . . because, Perez says, her current co-star has a boyfriend! A boyfriend who's on location with said co-star, while he and Miller are filming their new movie.

To break it down: Miller is currently in Canada, filming the drama Camille, which co-stars the guy she's been photographed hanging out with lately (and was rumored to be dating), actor James Franco!

Really??!! James Franco? A boyfriend? Totally didn't see that one coming. You?

Seriously, it's time for Naomi Campbell to revisit those anger management lessons she supposedly took awhile back.

The supermodel with the penchant for abusive behavior was reportedly arrested earlier this month after she showed up outside the London home of an ex-boyfriend, creating a disturbance when she demanded the return of some of her belongings.

Yikes. Can't she just drunk dial like a normal ex-girlfriend?

Apparently Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst is jumping on the rock-and-roll wedding bandwagon, too. He announced on his MySpace page that he "met a wonderful girl named Krista from Rhode Island and have asked her to marry me."

Get this, though, Krista from Rhode Island is only 20! Ashlee Simpson's older than that, and can you imagine her getting hitched? But as long as 35-year-old Freddy's happy... Oh, and one more thing, the frontman already has two kiddies, a four-year-old son, Dallas, and 15-year-old daughter, Adriana. Hmm, maybe Adriana and Krista can share clothes and swap boy stories.

Any bets on long this one will last? And seriously, what is up with these celebs are their websites and MySpace pages? From Britney's tiger poetry to Pammy announcing her engagement to Kid Rock on her site, it seems endless lately. Maybe I'll start hitting up Internet Cafes for my celebrity sightings from now on.

I'll confess that I find kid star Dakota Fanning to be uber-annoying, but I'm feeling a lot more sympathetic towards her if this is the kind of judgment her parents and agent are exhibiting on her behalf . . .

The New York Daily News reports that the 12-year-old is starring in a new drama called Hounddog, in which she will appear nude or wearing nothing but underwear, and for which she has already filmed a traumatic scene in which her character is raped.

Her agent says she sees the movie as an Oscar bid for the not-yet-a-teen star, and is proud of the acting skill she has displayed in the movie, which was so disturbing that, at one point, production had to be shut down because of a lack of financing.

This actually sheds a bit of light on a Fanning issue that's been bugging me for awhile. When Mr. & Mrs. Smith came out in 2005, I attended a media screening for the movie, and the theater was totally packed (everyone was looking to get a peek at Brangelina's on-screen chemistry!), so packed, in fact, that a few people were even sitting in the aisles, because they couldn't find a seat. Then who walks into the theater? Miss Dakota, with some sort of flack/handler/agent/manager/whoever at her side. She looks around, picks a seat and all of a sudden, most of the people in an entire row of seats are asked to clear out, because, we overhear a PR rep say, Dakota doesn't want to have people sitting in the seats on either side of her!

Diva-in-training? Yes. But I also remember thinking that Mr. & Mrs. Smith wasn't exactly appropriate for the then-11-year-old kid to see. Apparently, that isn't a concern at Casa Fanning . . . .

Hmmm, the last time a celeb couple made a surprise reunion (I'm thinking Pammy and Kid Rock here), it resulted in a quickie engagement.

Is is possible that notorious, aging Hollywood playboy Jack Nicholson and Lara Flynn Boyle are reunited? And if so, could she finally get his notoriously commitment-shy butt down the aisle?

No, he doesn't have a live-in girlfriend, and yes, he and Carmen are still BFF, the Rock Star rock star says.

Whaddaya think? Is he keeping it real or dishing some PR poop?

Jessica Simpson's all-star video for "Public Affair" premieres today on TRL (MTV, 3:30 p.m. ET), which also includes the potential Jessica-meets-Minnillo showdown we've all been waiting for. Frankly, I kinda doubt it will actually happen . . . that's a lot of drama for one small TV studio, but fingers are crossed nonetheless (and I, for one, am curious to see this dang video after all the hubbub surrounding it, aren't you?)

In less exciting performance news, K-Fed has reportedly been signed to sing live at the Teen Choice Awards next month. Do we care so little about our nation's youth that we're willing to stick them with "PopoZao"????

She really loves to shop there, no? Remember how many pics we saw of her trying on shoes there in the last days of her pregnancy (O.K. alleged pregnancy, for those of you still doubting the existence of Suri Cruise)? Doesn't she know that celebs at her level of tabloid fabulousness are supposed to get all that stuff for free, anyway???

In other TomKat news, there's still no official Suri sighting, but . . .

As one of my coworker's said, "Today, we lost Carmen and Dave, but we gained Pam and Kid."

Isn't it ironic?

And it's true: Pamela Anderson and Kid Rock are, in fact, going to tie the knot. On Pammy's website, she writes:

Yes. I'm finally getting remarried...it's been a whirlwind...spontaneous but well thought through. Feels like I've been stuck in a time warp... I'm moving on...I feel like I'm finally free....I'm in love. I'm happy....I see the light...sounds dramatic but it's true.....I know some women can relate to this....My children are getting older. They know the truth and they are strong, smart kids. They love their Dad (Tommy Lee). They love their new Step Dad who they've known for years...time will pass.

It's about time these two got hitched! Remember how they were supposed to marry in 2002 and then broke up a year later? People.com reports a source close to the couple says the plan to wed on a yacht near St. Tropez on July 29. Just a few weeks ago, they celebrated Pam's 39th b-day on the island. Check out pix of the former Playmate in our Celebrities in Swimsuits slide show!

So I guess there's no hope of a Pammy/ Tommy (to whom Pam was married from 1995 to 1998) reconcilation for good, now, huh? Hmm, you gotta wonder what Kid Rock has to say about that little sex tape the ex-couple made that is still circulating around cyber space. That can't be good for the self-esteem.

Who do you think is a better match for Pammy? Kid Rock or Tommy Lee?

The 19-year-old teen who had an affair with Christie Brinkley's soon-to-be fourth ex-husband is trying to paint herself as a victim in an interview with the New York Post . . . are you buying it?

Here's the glitch: Diana Bianchi, who was 18 at the time of her fling with her older boss, Brinkley's architect hubby Peter Cook, wants us to believe that she was just a naïve girl who was wooed and led astray by the creepy Cook. But even 18-year-olds know the definition of adultery. And besides, even a "naïve" 18-year-old knows that there's something a little fishy about a high school grad who goes from making $12 an hour as a toy store clerk to $50 an hour for clerical work in one fell swoop. But, the big cash bump, a new car, jewelry gifts and other regular goodies aside, Bianchi's attorney tells the Post he's even considering filing a sexual harassment suit against Cook on the teen's behalf.

As for Cook, he's allegedly a repeat offender.

The chatter has been swirling for months (actually, pretty much since they got married), but celeb couple Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro, who documented their goth love on 'Til Death Do Us Part, that MTV reality show, have made it official by confirming via their publicist that they are dunzo.

The shocking part: Rocker and CBS Rock Star reality series fixture Navarro may already have a new live-in girlfriend!

By the way, does anyone else find it sad and more than a little disturbing that Bobby and Whitney(?!?!) are outlasting all the other celebreality TV couples?

Does Christie Brinkley have the worst taste in men, ever?

Her first marriage, to a French artist, ended in divorce; number two, to boozing pop star Billy Joel, ended in divorce; number three, a quickie wedding to a dude she married after surviving a helicopter crash with him, ended in divorce after a year; and now, number four, her marriage to architect hubby Peter Cook is about to end, because, scandal!, he's been having an affair with a barely-out-of-high-school teen!

And what did the cheating motherfella in? The girl's stepdad confronted Cook in front of Christie, according to the National Enquirer, prompting Christie to so some sleuthing on her own: She found e-mails confirming the relationship between the skunk and the skank . . .

You know how Law & Order loves to do those "ripped from today's headlines" stories? It seems they'll be channeling a certain pop princess for an episode this season that revolves around "tabloids, drugs, stalkerazzi and a young superstar whose lack of parenting skills might lead to murder," according to the New York Post. O.K., it's an exaggeration, of course, but sure sounds like they're playing off Brit's recent string of tabloid-making behavior.

Meanwhile, photos are circulating of Britney's manny making a grocery run for the mama-to-be. And they beg the question: If Brit Brit has a manny who's at her side, helps take care of little Sean Preston and buys her marshmallows and two different kinds of mac 'n' cheese, why, exactly, does she need The Federline again???????

People has the announcement and Perez Hilton has the pics of "punk" princess Avril Lavigne's weekend wedding to her Sum 41 lead singer boyfriend Deryck Whibley. The duo, who has been engaged since last June, went the traditional route, with a Vera Wang gown, an all-white ceremony and a sitdown dinner for more than 100 guests. They're a pretty cute couple, no?

Brad Pitt may be nabbing all the headlines while he's off in N'awlins encouraging environmentally-friendly rebuilding of the Katrina-ravaged city, but I think this bit of celeb do-gooding also deserves some props:

Former 7th Heaven Camden kid-turned-Esquire mag's "Sexiest Woman Alive" Jessica Biel is auctioning off a date with herself to help raise funds for a Denver teen who lost her leg in a freaky prom night limo accident.

A lunch date with Biel is in the offering for the highest bidder, with the cash raised going to cover the medical expenses for 18-year-old Molly Bloom, who lost her leg last May when she was run over and dragged almost 40 feet by a Hummer stretch limousine.

The Wilson brothers are everywhere lately! I guess that makes sense with Owen's movie, You, Me and Dupree, opening today and Luke's My Super-Ex Girlfriend being released next Friday.

The most recent spotting? Funnyman Owen in NYC. Our intrepid informant Paul writes:

Celebrity sighting of Owen Wilson waking on Central Park South near 6th Ave. at 7:30am. He was sending emails or something on his handheld device -- prob about to do some TV appearance. He got out of his limo solo and started walking toward the Time Warner buildings.

Geesh, if I was a big-time movie star, there's no way I'd be getting out of bed before 10am!

If you're like us and can't get enough of these goofy brothers, we've got ya covered. Read all about my steamy encounter with Owen's other half, and then play our newest Celebrity Concentration game -- dedicated to famous siblings!

Yay for Friday!

Extra is reporting that Jessica Simpson and comedian Dane Cook, despite continued denials from both, are, in fact, canoodling. Why, why, why, would a cool dude like Dane Cook go there? O.K., I know why, but seriously, why????

Also allegedly coupled (and don't shoot the messenger, as I know there are many Fans o' McConaughey here): People's Sexiest Man Alive and George Clooney's ex.

Meanwhile, there's one couple who seems constantly on the brink of un-coupling: Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, who reportedly got into yet another embarrassing, public shouting match. And yes, this would be the same boyfriend from that Punk'd episode that made her look like a psycho.

O.K., yesterday, Team Jolie scored one by snatching a choice movie role originally meant for Jennifer Aniston. But Team Aniston, you are going to have the last laugh – and it'll be a hearty, spit-Diet Coke-out-your-nose belly laugh – if this rumor, floated this morning by Popbitch is true:

"Rumours coming out of L.A. suggest Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are to have a trial separation while he goes to film Ocean's Thirteen," Popbitch reports in its weekly gossip newsletter.

Whoa! Even those of us who are skeptical about just how long Brangelina would last have to be surprised if this one does turn out to be true, right? Just weeks after Shiloh's birth? That would pretty much reduce Brad's role to that of sperm donor, no? The world's sexiest sperm donor, sure, but a mere sperm donor nonetheless . . .

Sure, pics of little Shiloh Nouvel showing off the pouty lips that already rival her mama's fetched $4 mil from People, but TMZ.com is reporting that the same gossip mag editors who initially turned their noses up at pics of TomKat offspring Suri Cruise are now willing to pony up as much as a cool $5 million for photos! Who's crazy now? O.K., still Tom Cruise, but he's also crazy like a fox, because his well-executed game of hide-and-seek with his alleged baby (seriously though, how many of you really question the existence of Suri at this point?) is now going to result in a wad of bank for he and, no doubt, his Scientology cohorts.

Meanwhile, Cruise may want to start readying his band of attorneys for infamous celebrity biographer Andrew Morton, who's currently writing a bio of El Cruise that's said to tell all, including insider input on the actor's career, religion and sexuality. Morton, as all gossip lovers will recall, is the guy who wrote the book on the Princess Diana/Prince Charles marriage, so the Cruise tome should be a juicy one!

Oh, the humanity. Not only has Angelina Jolie babydaddied with her ex-husband, now she's apparently snagged the Oscar-bait role Jennifer Aniston had her eye on.

Jolie has signed on to star as Mariane Pearl, the widow of Daniel Pearl, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was murdered by Pakistani militants, in A Mighty Heart, the movie version of Mariane Pearl's memoir about her husband.

BUT, the movie is a production of the Plan B company, which is the production outfit co-founded by Brad Pitt and Aniston during their marriage. Pitt got control of the company in the divorce settlement, and Jolie got the A Mighty Heart role that had, once upon a time, according to TMZ.com, been intended for another actress . . .

Yep, Jennifer Aniston.

O.K., we've all seen that Friends episode in which we learned that the sting of a jellyfish sting can be lessened by the urine of another human. But didn't we also learn from that episode that, if it's necessary to employ such a measure, we should at least have the good sense and common decency to be embarrassed about it? Not so, apparently, with Michael Douglas, who recalls a recent trip to the beach in which he got stung, and had to ask his 5-year-old son to tinkle on his back.

"So I asked my five-year-old son if he would pee-pee on my back. He looked at me like he'd gone to heaven," Douglas says. "He was like 'This is what I call a good summer holiday! Pee-pee on daddy's back!' I don't know if it helped at all, but my son was happy. We'll work it out in 20 years (when he's in therapy)!"

Indeed.

Meanwhile, Chevy Chase might want to start scoping out a good doc for his teenage daughter, too. Chase tells Details mag that he and his daughter have the same sense of humor (or lack thereof, we might argue), because she finds it funny when he calls her "whore."

"I can remember the first time I called her a whore. We just laughed for half an hour. Because she's anything but," Chase tells Details. "But she gets it immediately and laughs. I'd call her every day down at school; she might pick up and say, 'Whoretown!' She said something the other day like, 'Dad, how much should I charge?'"

Delightful.

There are many levels of "Ew" to this item about Brooke Burke and Kelly Monoco's "No Scruf.org" campaign. Never mind that there certainly are several hundred real causes that could benefit from their celebrity, but some of us actually dig scruffy faces. C'mon, like Lost's Josh Holloway isn't a zillion times hotter with face fur than without???

...well, except for the table between us, but more on that in a minute.

Hellooo my little gossip junkies!

It's Lindsey. Did 'ya miss me? I've been running around like a crazy person the past few days having all kinds of adventures. Most importantly, however, we need to discuss Mr. Luke Wilson. As you'd expect the man is ridiculously funny. I met him up-close-and-personal yesterday (no, not that close -- what were you thinking?!?). He was in NYC promoting his new movie, My Super-Ex Girlfriend. And so it was that I found myself sitting at a press junket a mere 24 inches from the cuter, in my humble opinion, Wilson brother. Since you couldn't be there, here's a little snippet from him when asked about pick-up lines he uses (joking, of course):

"You might not recognize the voice, and I guess had my hair-darkended, but I'm Owen Wilson. No, um, as a kid it's tough to talk to girls sometimes. Yeah, I ran out of steam on that one. I've never had a good line, really."

I also had the opportunity to talk one-on-one with the film's superhero, Uma Thurman, who is absolutely just stunning. Stay tuned for that interview, coming soon.

And even though I'm partial to the darker-haired Wilson, I also checked out a sneak preview of Owen Wilson's new flick, You, Me and Dupree, which comes out this weekend. Both movies were highly entertaining -- my boyfriend even liked My Super-Ex! Must be a good couple-a weeks for the Wilson family, right? (My Super-Ex comes out July 21). In honor of their summer movies, we created a little game called Celebrity Siblings. Try it out and let us know how well you do. Oh, and does anyone else like Luke over Owen besides me?

And sadly, that's not an exaggeration. According to the Nielsen ratings, last week's TV line-up was the least-watched in all of TV history. This includes the weeks that Cop Rock and The Secret Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer were on the air, people. So what are you guys watching this summer, anyway?

In other TV news, people are still griping about those Emmy nominations from last week. The L.A. Times points out that the lack of younger, hipper actress nominees means it's going to be one boring red carpet this time around. I disagree. Kyra Sedgwick, Mariska Hargitay, Sandra Oh . . . I think they can pull off some fab dresses. And I can't wait to see what the oh-so-cool Chandra Wilson from Grey's Anatomy wears!

Oh, one more bit of Emmy news: The Emmy-nominated South Park episode that spoofs Tom Cruise and Scientology, the one that Comedy Central so famously yanked from rotation, will air again on the network on July 19. Set your TiVos!

Yesterday, she was getting naughty at Disney. Today, Lindsay Lohan is getting naughty on a movie set, in some pics that are certain to, ahem, go down, as yet another wild tale in the L.L. tabloid watch . . .

Here's a TV happening that has the potential to be the most tabloid-worthy MTV moment since Mariah Carey wigged out with the ice cream cart on TRL in 2001:

Blogger MollyGood reports that Nick Lachey's ex, Jessica Simpson, is scheduled to appear on TRL Wednesday afternoon to pimp her new single, "A Public Affair." But wait, there's more . . . Among the VJs who might chat with the ex Mrs. Lachey is the current girlfriend of Lachey, MTV's Vanessa Minnillo!

As MollyGood offers, let's keep our fingers crossed that MTV honchos (or, more likely, Simpson's smarmy manager/dad Joe) don't punk out and deny us this dose of Celebrity Couple-a-Go-Go fun.

UPDATE: SImpson's appearance is scheduled for NEXT Wednesday, July 19. Mark it on your calendars now, people!

Fourth place, schmorth place. American Idol reject Chris Daughtry, who was the early favorite to win the competition in season five, may actually come out on top, after all. Daughtry, who rejected an offer to front the rock band Fuel after the AI season finale, has signed a deal to have his debut record shepherded into release by none other than music industry guru Clive Davis.

Though I was a totally a Yaminian girl, myself, I have to admit that, until Elliott's debut disc inevitably drops, I think Chris' CD has the potential to be the best American Idol contestant album since Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway." His disc, which, according to label PR, includes "A-list collaborations," is scheduled to hit stores before the end of the year.

What do you think? Will you buy it?

PS - For all you aspiring Idols, auditions for the next season kick off August 8 in Los Angeles.

If it's good enough for P. Diddy, J. Simpy and K. Clarky, it's good enough for L. Lohey . . .

La Lohan, who, with her late-night partying proclivities, is probably in need of a quick 'n' easy skin care regime when she wakes up the next afternoon, has signed on to become the latest spokesceleb for Proactiv, the as-seen-on-TV anti-zit program that has been touted by the aforementioned Sean Combs, Jessica Simpson and Kelly Clarkson, as well as Brooke Shields, Elle MacPherson and Vanessa Williams.

Lohan's Proactiv pimp spots, which earned her a reported $2 million check, will begin airing this week on MTV and E!.

And, not that the Blabber is looking to be paid or anything, but we can weigh in with our own thumbs-up review of the Proactiv regime, which is not only a friend to the skin of the party-hearty celeb crowd, but also to the sits-at-their-computers-all-day-sipping-on-Coke Zero-and-munching-Quaker Quakes Mini Rice Cakes (caramel flavor)-blogger crowd, too.

Our gossip leader, Suzy, is off enjoying her time on Martha's Vineyard, but we all know that a true celeb junkie can never be too far from an issue of US Weekly or a hot Internet connection, so Suzy took the time to send us this juicy hook-up rumor she just heard about:

It seems that a certain dearly departed Grey's Anatomy dreamy dude is hot 'n' heavy with one of his former Grey's castmates. The new couple: Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who broke our hearts as doomed heart patient Denny Duquette, and Kate Walsh, the very beautiful (and soon-to-be-ex, if the season finale was an indicator) Mrs. McDreamy, Addison Shepherd.

Again, there could be some pretty babies as a result of this ridonkulously attractive couple . . .

I know, I know, we promised there would be no math on this gossip blog, but a little addition is required to deduce the potential tabloid-worthiness of the newest celeb coupling . . .

One formerly A-list movie star (Eddie Murphy) + one one-hit-wonder pop star (Scary Spice, a.k.a. Melanie B.) = One B-list supercouple?

And if Spice Girl Scary and Shrek star Eddie, reported by Perez Hilton to be doin' the hook-up thang, are tabloid-worthy, what will we call them? Donkey Spice? B.-List Spice? Let's hear your TomKat, Brangelina, Vaughniston-ish nicknames for this new scorchin' (okay, lukewarm) couple . . .

In other gruesome twosome news, former Sylvester Stallone missus Brigitte Nielsen married again. And she married the same guy, hubby no. 5, again. The upside: This might mean we'll never have to see her mashin' with Flavor Flav again.

Hey, everyone. Allow myself to introduce . . . myself. I'm Kim, and, as Suzy told you last week before she jetted off to her fabulous, much-deserved vacay in Martha's Vineyard, I'll be making the wisecracks here at the Daily Blabber for the next two weeks.

Just to give you a peek at my own pop culture obsessions, I'm going to answer the questions Suzy posed to Lindsey recently when Lindsey joined the Blabber:

Name: Kim

Hollywood hottie you most want to swap spit with?
So many hotties, so little fantasizing time in the day . . . But, I'd have to go with John Mayer, even though he's technically a music hottie as opposed to a Hollywood hottie, and Kiefer Sutherland. Wouldn't you feel a little bit safer if Jack Bauer really was saving the world from terrorist baddies?

Biggest Guilty Pleasure:
The Hills, and I'm not even sure I'm sufficiently ashamed of it. I mean, really, it's not even half as interesting as Laguna Beach, and the "stars" are even less likable and more vapid. Yet I can't look away.

Secret Dream:
To be one of the snarky commentators on Best Week Ever.

Celeb you'd most want to party with -- other than Matthew McConaughey because he's mine all mine:
Prolly Vince Vaughn, because I think he'd make you giggle the whole time. As long as he's partying solo, that is; I just don't get the feeling that the female half of Vaughniston has that great a sense of humor, ya know?

Hidden Talent:
Um, well, I can recite entire scenes of dialogue from most episodes of Seinfeld. Yep, there's big things in my future.

O.K., so that's me; I can't wait to find out more about all you celeb junkies during the next two weeks, so let's see more of your answers to those questions, as we return to our regularly scheduled Blabber day. . .

Hi guys--
Just wanted to let you know that I'm going on v-a-c-a-t-i-o-n!! First time since last year, so I'm overdue. But don't worry -- I'm not leaving you high and dry, you gossip addicts! You'll "meet" Kim next week, who will deliver your daily fix. And Lindsey will be helping out as well.

As for me, I'll be in Martha's Vineyard -- my favorite place in the whole, wide world. But I'll be checking in and I'll definitely let you know if I see anyone fabulous. Beyonce & Jay-Z were there last weekend, Meg Ryan has a new spread there... so there are definitely lots of celebrity sightings to be had.

Yours in gossip --
Suzy

Police say that the 55-year-old committed suicide. If you have the urge to read more about the details, click here.

His friends told the NY Post that he has been depressed since his mother died from cancer in 2003.

2003 was the same year he won his first Daytime Emmy and he gave a really memorable speech.

"To my mother who scrimped and saved to send me to Julliard to study the classics... I'm sorry," he chuckled as he held his Emmy above his head.

Later, in the press room, he talked about her illness.

"I was [her] primary caretaker," he revealed. When you are the only one taking care of a parent, your whole day is surrounded with doctors apppointments and trying to figure out what to do. There were times that I found out it's just too much."

Ben's final appearance on As the World Turns will air July 12.

As you can imagine, Sheryl Crow was very upset that her engagement to Lance Armstrong didn't work out. But rarely does a star actually admit that -- especially in print. However, Sheryl, who was recently treated for breast cancer, opens up in the new Vanity Fair, calling the split "devastating." Here are some other highlights:

On her feelings for Lance: "I definitely still love him and always will love him."

On his three kids: "I do think about Lance every day. And I think about his kids every day.

On being diagnosed with cancer right after they split: "It was difficult. I know he wanted to be there. I would have loved for him to have swept in and carried me through."

On moving on: "I still feel bruised. I still feel really raw and vulnerable – not just from the breakup but the whole experience. … But the nice thing about my job is that there is a catharsis that I get to experience when I play some of this stuff.

Tennyson Spencer Crowe was born at 7:27am on Friday in Sydney, Australia. He weighed in at 8 lbs.

"Mother, father and baby are doing extremely well," his rep told People.

They already have a son named Charlie.

In this week's video blog, I give some of these dirty boyz makeovers. So take a look, then talk back below.

The story also appears in their blog:

Publicly, Jennifer Aniston, 37, and Vince Vaughn, 36, have kept mum on their relationship. But during a recent weeklong Mexican getaway, the couple couldn’t keep quiet anymore: “We’re getting married,” Jen told a friend, a source says. (Reps didn’t return calls for comment.)

The big news capped off an otherwise calm, romantic trip. The duo divvied up their week between Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis’ Puerto Vallarta property and Cabo San Lucas, where they holed up in a $5,000-a-night, five-bedroom suite at the Villas Del Mar at Palmilla.

“They didn’t leave the resort too often,” says an employee. “She was a very quiet guest.” To celebrate their last night in Mexico June 2, they ordered in appetizers from local Mi Casa restaurant. “They seemed in love,” says a Cabo San Lucas hotel employee...

“They’re good for each other,” says a source. “He makes her laugh.” Friend Courteney Cox agrees. “They have fun, I’ll say that much,” she says in the August issue of Marie Claire. “They spend a lot of time laughing.”

You'd think Jen would be gun-shy after the Mrs. Pitt fiasco, but apparently not. Do you think she'll be a summer bride? Are you happy for her and Vince? Do you think she's trying to beat Brad and Angelina to the altar? Talk back below.

While Lindsey works on the long list of Emmy nominees, here are the major categories. (If you ask me, the rest are boring anyway.)

Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series
Curb Your Enthusiasm • Larry David as Himself
The King Of Queens • Kevin James as Doug Heffernan
Monk • Tony Shalhoub as Adrian Monk
The Office • Steve Carell as Michael Scott
Two And A Half Men • Charlie Sheen as Charlie Harper

Last year Kathy Griffin unexpectedly filed for divorce from her husband, Matt Moline, who is frequently seen in her reality show Life on the D-List. They briefly reconciled, but now they're apart again and have divorced. So what the heck was going on in the Griffin-Moline household to cause the uncoupling? Matt was stealing from his famous wife.

In a recent taping of Larry King, Kathy went public with her ordeal:

"My ex-husband, without my knowledge, was sneaking into my wallet when I was asleep in the mornings and taking my ATM cards from my private accounts and withdrawing money... That money totaled $72,000."

That Matt must not be that smart. Maybe if he was stealing from someone super rich -- like $20 million-a-movie girls Reese Witherspoon or Cameron Diaz -- the $72,000 would go unnoticed. But he's stealing from a woman who makes her income from a show called Life on the D-List. D-Listers don't have the big bucks.

Kathy is way to smart and sassy for the moron.

The latest in the Candy-Tori feud? Candy has put Aaron's treasured mansion on the market for $150 million.

The house is 56,000 square feet and has 123 rooms -- including a bowling alley and indoor skating rink. Two rooms in the house are designated just for gift wrapping, which Tori spoofed on her TV show So NoTORIous. According to TMZ.com, Candy has already canned a lot of staffers so that the house -- that the family refers to as "The Manor" -- can be shut down and shown to potential buyers.

The new Us Weekly says that Candy and her "very close friend" Mark. L. Nathanson purchased another home in the L.A. area six months ago and they plan to move there.

Aaron, who just died June 23, has an estate worth an estimated $500 million. But Us reports Tori may not see a penny because Candy's still peeved that Tori cheated on her first husband less than a year after Aaron and Candy threw her a splashy wedding.

"With Candy and Mark edging Tori out of the family picture completely, Tori will possibly never see her inheritance," a family source tells Us.

Fun times at the next family event, right?

Anyway, I just finished a Johnny Depp Trivia Quiz, so I thought I'd pass it along for you guys to try. Post your scores below and we'll see how many people score 100%.

Okay class, you may now begin.

What a waste of money! Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly looking for a nanny... for their pretend baby.

Tom Cruise wants a nanny who's packing more than Pampers in her diaper bag — and can kick bad-guy butt, says an insider. "Tom is very security-conscious, and he'd like to hire a woman who could protect little SURI — not just change her, feed her and sing 'Itsy-Bitsy Spider,'" said the source. Tom wants a Charlie's Angel-type who has martial arts skills and shooting expertise — but Mama Katie thinks hiring a Super-Nanny would be way over the top, since they already have top-notch security guards.

Tom and Katie's daughter, Suri, was born April 18, yet nobody has seen the little one. So suspicious.

Update: Today's NY Post also makes mention of the missing baby. It says even Will & Jada Smith think it's weird no one has seen the baby -- and they're tight!

Coming up on Paris Hilton's to-do list? Reproduction.

The heiress recently gave an interview to The London Mirror in which she discussed her strong desire to populate the world with more spoiled, rich kids.

“I know in my heart of hearts I would be a great mother,” said Paris. “I have a lot of beautiful animals that I look after and I feel that I would have a lot to give to my children. . . . And I don’t want to be an old mom — hopefully it’ll happen soon, within the next five years.”

The virginal Paris (ha!) also advises the young women of the world against "giving it up."

“One-night stands are not for me,” she said. “I think it’s gross when you just give it up. Guys want you more if you don’t just hand it to them on a platter. If they want you, then they will wait. You have to make them work for it.”

I find it hard to believe that pornstar Paris made Stavros Niarchos "work for it". Or Paris Latsis. Or Chad Michael Murray. Or Rick Salomon. Or Nick Carter. Or Jason Shaw. Or Deryck Whibley. Or Tom Sizemore. Or... you get the point.

We finally get more info on Hilary Swank's split with Chad Lowe -- and it comes courtesy of Hilary herself.

Hil tells the new Vanity Fair -- which hits newsstands today -- that her marriage broke up, in part, over her hubby's substance abuse problem.

"I knew something was happening but I didn't know what," Swank says – though she doesn't name Chad's drug of choice. "When I found out, it was such a shock because I never thought he'd keep something from me. And yet, on another level, it was a confirmation of something I was feeling that was keeping us from being completely solid. He's sober now. I don't want to make it seem like that's the sole reason; there were other factors. But that just kind of blew it open. It made me look at things a lot deeper. That's when you realize it's not going to work."

"It's an enormous obstacle to overcome, and he's doing it. He's living a sober life," said Swank, who married Lowe in 1997. "I know how difficult it is, and I'm really proud of his sobriety."

"It takes two to make something work or not work. I'm a person with my own faults and troubles," Swank says. "In the end, it just didn't work, but I would never look back on this relationship as failed. I look at it as 131/2 years of success."

Hilary, whose divorce is still pending, isn't thrilled at the prospect of re-entering the dating arena.

"I thought of it -- of that whole world -- I can't imagine it! I can't imagine going out right now and trying to find someone else to be with," says Swank, who turns 32 later this month.

Something tells me that the two-time Oscar winner will have no problem finding "someone else to be with."

Kingston Rossdale and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt are already forming a clique.

On Sunday, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie got their newborn babies together for a "play date." The baby get-together took place at casa Jolie-Pitt in Santa Barbara.

While the babies presumably drooled, pooped and cried, Angelina and Gwen were seen gabbing away -- while sporting matching baby carriers. As for the guys, well, they were testing the waters... on jetskis. Gavin went full throttle, while "Brad Dad" hung close to the shore because he had his boy Maddox with him.

I can already imagine these two kids grown up… They're 25, living together in a London crib. She's an actress; he's in a band. She already broke up a few marriages. He has a love child from his earlier days. Just like their mommies and daddies.

These two are totally going to be too cool for school.

20 years ago, 21 Jump Street made Johnny blow up – with Teen Beat covers galore. But Johnny has always lashed out against the people who turned being turned into a pin-up boy. Fast-forward to 2006 and Johnny is said to be considering reprising his role of Tom Hanson in a big screen version of the TV show.

According to the NY Daily News, Johnny "winced" when he heard the '80s undercover cop show would be turned into a movie. But he said he could get over "past bitterness" with Jump Street creator Stephen Cannell if Tom Hanson was turned into a washed up hustler.

"Now that would be interesting," said Johnny. "To go back and play the same character that I played 20 years ago with a bunch of people talking behind his back, going, 'He's out of his mind. He's really old now. But he thinks that he's really young.' That I would love to do."

Isn't this guy so full of surprises? You really never know what career move he'll make next. But 9 out of 10 times, whatever he decides to do is pretty damn fantastic.

Here's to the return of Tom Hanson... I never quite got over him.

Here's my "You've gotta be kidding me" item of the day, which comes courtesy of the NY Daily News:

Sienna Miller and Jude Law were recently in Santa Barbara, so the on-again couple paid a visit to the nearby grave of Edie Sedgwick, the Warhol muse Miller plays in Factory Girl. Law filmed his beloved tearfully placing flowers on the tombstone of the It-girl. "The footage was so beautiful, I may run it during the credits," Factory Girl director George Hickenlooper tells us …

I don't know what it is about those two, but they just get on my last nerve. Sienna -- who is a better dresser than actress -- making this dramatic visit to Edie Sedgwick's grave to lay a wreath there?!? While doofy Jude videotapes the whole thing? And I can imagine his artful direction: Pretend to wipe a tear from your cheek, love. Then do that pouty thing you do with your lips -- like what you did last summer when you were crying all the time last after you found out I shagged the nanny.

Edie Sedgwick was a real person... not just some character in a movie. You'd think that someone like Sienna -- who constantly whines about how the media is so invasive and how she can't live her live privately – goes to Edie Sedgwick's final resting place and turns it into a scene for a movie?

Talk about invasive. Talk about disrespectful. Talk about tacky.

It was over a long holiday weekend that Newlyweds Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson announced that they were divorcing. And it's over another long holiday weekend that they announced that their divorce is final.

Jessica's rep confirmed to People mag that the couple's divorce was official on June 30. Although they are technically divorced, now is the time when a retired judge will work out the financial details of their split. And Jessica's name has been restored to Jessica Simpson (from Jessica Simpson Lachey).

The first couple of reality TV announced that they were splitting over Thanksgiving 2005. Since then they have both been diggin' the single life, hooking up aplenty. Jessica is currently linked to Jared Leto; Nick is seeing Vanessa Minnillo. (Vanessa talked to blogger Perez Hilton about her Nicky.)

So that closes the book on the one-time cute couple. And it's fitting they regained their independence just in time for Independence Day.
