E_PaulMcCartneyHeather_136.jpgPaul 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:
E_SherylCrow_68.jpgSheryl 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.jpgGeri 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.jpgYoko 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.

E_ChristieBrinkley_68.jpgChristie 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.

So there really is something going on with Leonardo DiCaprio and Gisele Bunchen. Again!

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.

E_MiamiVice_136.jpgFinally, 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.

E_MelGibson_136.jpgMel 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":

E_LindsayLohan3_136.jpgLindsay "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:

MelGibson.jpg
It was the passion of the booze that got Mel Gibson into some trouble earlier today.

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!

E_MauraTierney_136.jpgER 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.

E_JohnStamos_136.jpgMaura 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?

E_Prince2_68.jpgPage Six suggests that the real reason Prince split with his wife is because he's become a smitten kitten with his new protégé, Tamar.


E_LeoDiCaprio_68.jpgCelebrity 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.


E_CarmenElectra_68.jpgCarmen 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.

E_BritneyKevinPreg_136.jpgBritney 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?

E_SimonCowell2_136.jpgThe 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.

VanessaNick.jpg
Although Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo have been seen making out all over the place, they're still dancing around the fact that they're even together.

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.

E_JadaPinkettWill_136.jpgNot 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."

E_TomCruiseKatie5_136.jpgJada 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!

E_PamAndersonKid_136.jpgPamela 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.

Everywhere you turn it's starlets, starlets, starlets!

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.

E_PrinceManuela_136.jpgPerhaps 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.

E_BritneyPregnant_136.jpgAs 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.
