...Big Pussy!

Vincent Pastore will no longer be putting on a little red bolero jacket and dancing the mambo, according to a press release from ABC. The actor said the physical demands of the 10-week competition are just too much for him. "When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars, I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me. Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity."

No word on who his replacement will be.

Old Vinny only got through one week of rehearsals.
The joke here is so obvious, and I'm much too much of a lady to make it.
Wink, wink.

As mentioned, Tracy and I will be debating some of the hot gossip that we disagreed on this month. For example -- the fact that Tracy thinks Gisele is skanky and how I think Will Smith is too much of a goodie-goodie. Today's topic? Britney. Let's just dive in...

Suzy: Now for Britney... I wish you'd be harder on the girl. I know she's in the midst of a very public meltdown, but don't you think she brought these problems upon herself? Who told her to marry scummy boyz? Have two kids and have someone else raise them? She had it all -- fame, fortune a cute boyfriend, hair -- and threw it all away. I like the girl -- I do. But I just don't feel bad for the predicament she's in. Famous or not, in life you have to surround yourself with exceptional people. People who know you inside and out and genuinely want the best for you and will watch your back. You've had the same posse since high school/college, so I'm sure you can see my point. How did things get so far outta control? She needs to fire her employees, family members and friends.

Tracy: Oh, Britney! To be honest, I just feel like how much more can anyone say about her? And I guess I'm a softie when I see someone get so slammed by everybody in the world. Don't get me wrong, I fully enjoy participating in ragging on stupid antics of celebrities, but sometimes I can't help but reach a saturation point. She's a wacko with tons of problems right now, no doubt, but that sentimental (or wimpy, you choose) part of me wants her to get it together and make a huge comeback. Psssst! I even want her to get back with J.T. Shhh...

Suzy: Beats the hell outta K-Fed! But let's just let her get her hair back first.

Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl may not be playing our beloved Izzie much longer, according to People.com. Heigl has dropped out of contract negotiations with the ABC drama and sources say she is not happy with treatment she is getting.

"Katie is disappointed and hurt that (producer) Touchstone doesn't value her as much as her other costars, especially Sandra Oh and Isaiah Washington," the source says. ABC had no comment.

Izzie should hit the movies -- she's so the next Charlize Theron.

First Naomi Campbell takes on TV, now Victoria Beckham will be hitting the small screen.

E! is reporting that Posh will be appearing in a "real-life documentary" for NBC. Previous reports have said that Vicki's hubby, David, and their kids would be a part of the show, but a rep is now saying it will just be about Spicy herself.

Now remember, this is NOT a reality show, it is a documentary.
There's a difference.
Really.

"My daughter is going through a phase of wearing jeans so tight she can't bend her knees in them. I have a go at her and say, 'Can't you wear something else? You have a closet full of clothes and you wear the same pants every day . . . And please wear a belt because I don't want to see your butt crack when you bend over.' "

-- Madonna, the cone bustier-wearing, cross-burning, nude-posing, stage-humping, water bottle deep-throating pop star, to British Elle, about daughter, Lourdes.

The Los Angeles County Department of Health sent alerts to guests of Sports Illustrated's swimsuit issue party, starring Beyonce as the cover girl, saying a worker for Wolfgang Puck had acute hepatitis A. The health department advised vaccinations for anyone who ate uncooked food at the party and three other events from Feb. 14-20.

Other models in attendance were Bar Refeali (Leo DiCaprio's current flame), Veronica Varekova, Yamila Diaz-Rahi, Ana Beatriz Barros and Marisa Miller.

No illnesses have been reported, so far.

Jeez, they might as well have gone to the nearest Taco Bell.

Remember last week when we dished about Brody Jenner and his terrible friend Spencer Pratt talking trash about everybody in the latest issue of Details?

Well, it seems that Lauren Conrad, who dated Jenner for a blink of an eye, is not happy. The Hills star skipped Us Weekly's Oscar party -- which was co-hosted by her own show! The buzz at the bash was that L.C. was so pissed at what Spencer said in the men's magazine that she refused to be in his presence.

When Jenner was asked about Conrad on the red carpet, he said, with a twinkle in his eye I'm sure, "I love Lauren. It's all good." Lauren's co-star, and Pratt's girlfriend, Heidi Montag, would only say, "I wish she was here."

Lauren's got class and pride and that's a lot more than I can say about the rest of them.

And by "hit" we mean a right hook to the jaw of Gerard Rechnitzer, a real estate broker, who was attending a post-Oscar party Sunday night.

Rechnitzer returned from a trip to the little boy's room to find Diddy hitting on his woman. When the man began to usher his fiance out, the rap mogul asked the lady to come to a party he was having. When Rechnitzer persisted, Diddy allegedly socked the man in the face. The man called 911, but Diddy left before police arrived.

I think the girl is at fault here. I mean, yeah, Puffy shouldn't have hit the guy, but the lady, who was probably loving the attention, could have put a stop to the altercation a lot sooner. No? What do you think?

As mentioned yesterday, Tracy and I will be debating some Hollywood gossip issues that we didn't agree on this month. Like what? Well, like the fact that Tracy called my girl Gisele a skank. A skank! Isn't that a term reserved for Paris Hilton and her peeps? Anyway, today's topic is Will Smith. Tracy is jiggy with Big Willie. I find him too much of a goodie-goodie bore. Here, we duke it out Blabber style...

Tracy: Now, about Will Smith. How could you possibly disagree with me on his hotness? The man is a gift from God and having it all certainly agrees with him. With talent up the wazoo, adorable offspring and a wife that adores him, Big Willie Style is the total package. I certainly wouldn't kick him out of bed -- or off the couch, or the kitchen table... um, sorry, whatever. If you think differently I'd like to hear your crazy reasoning.

Suzy: You know what it is? The Pinkett-Smiths bore me. Just once I want to hear Will drop the f-bomb in one of his songs -- or take a role in which he plays a beer swiggin', adulterous jerk. Instead everything is peachy keen perfection and a cynical gossipeur like myself just doesn't buy that. Truthfully, I think there's something going on between the Smiths and Cruises. What do they have in common? It's quite suspicious. I think the Pinkett-Smiths have been sipping the Kool Aid.

Naomi Campbell is one of my favorite people to talk trash about because she is so -- how can I put this -- INSANE!
Now we can all watch as the drama unfolds together.

The supermodel is set to star in her own MTV reality show, which will depict her search for a new assistant. A source said: "Naomi is famous for her spats with staff, so the idea is to try to have some fun and capitalize on the situation. Plus, it's TV work, which Naomi hopes will lead to acting jobs."

Naomi's last six assistants have quit because of her violent temper.
SIX!
I'm setting the TIVO now.

We knew Drew Barrymore spent her birthday with BFF Cameron Diaz on the beach in Hawaii, but we just heard that Drew also had a male companion.

Hottie director Spike Jonze accompanied Drew and Cameron on their island getaway, and Ms. B and Spike shared some couple time in the ocean. He was also by her side on the trip home.

Whatever is going on is certainly working for Drew, who has been looking mighty fine as of late.

Ok, Suzy. Just breathe.

The word on the street is that former Melrose Place co-stars Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner were seen at a pre-Oscar party "hand-in-hand".

Now, if you've kept up with how Suzy and I came to be, you know that we met at a former place of employment, where we bonded over our love for Jack Wagner. Well, it was actually our love for Wagner's character on General Hospital, Frisco Jones, but we spent countless hours talking about how one day he would be ours. I think we even agreed to share. We went as far as going to see him in concert together -- but that's a whole other story.

Anyway, Locklear, who's recently broken up with David Spade, always had intense chemistry with Jack on -screen, and now it seems to have carried over. Spies say the duo "looked very much like a couple - they seemed very comfortable together. They stayed close to each other during the party and they even left hand in hand.”

Foiled again, Suze!

Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger, who met and fell in love on the set of Brokeback Mountain, have managed to fly under the radar since coupling up. The twosome, who live Brooklyn with their daughter, Matilda, kept out of trouble by blowing off the Hollywood life for a while.

Well, time might be up. Sources say Michelle and Heath had a huge falling out when Heath spent Valentine's Day with a bunch of other ladies at Teddy's in Los Angeles. Though the source says Ledger wasn't doing anything inappropriate, Michelle heard about it and freaked. She's reportedly giving him the cold shoulder.

Hopefully this is just a small bump in the road for the lovebirds. I'd really love to see them make it.

Why he can't Bobby Brown stay out of trouble? You would think he would learn from his mistakes.

According to Access Hollywood, the actor was arrested in Massacuhsettes Sunday, for the second time this year, for failing to appear at a child support hearing in October. Bob is stuck in jail until he can come up with $19,000 in back child support. Brown was picked up by police at his daughter's high school, where he was attending her cheerleading competition.

He was on a roll. Attending her cheerleading competiton was a good thing. Getting arrested there? Not so much.

Not from the "grin and bear it" school, Eddie Murphy was not a happy camper after losing the Best Supporting Actor race Sunday night. He could barely eek out a smile when his name wasn't called and, apparently, had some sort of temper tantrum, after the Academy gave the honor to Alan Arkin.

Eddie grabbed his date, Tracey Edmonds, and stormed out of the theater. He didn't even bother staying to see if co-star Jennifer Hudson took home the gold, or watch the girls perform.

That Eddie. What a team player, huh?

Cute and chivalrous? That might just be the case for this young Hollywood star.

Josh Hartnett was leaving one of his regular Lower East Side taverns the other night in NYC, when he came across a man harassing a woman. According to Page Six, Josh stepped in and, without throwing any punches, advised the guy to step off. A source said that there was no physical altercation -- just a couple of raised voices as Josh gave the bully a good talking to.

Sigh. My hero.

Now that there are officially two Blabber-ers -- well, two and a half with our beloved Lindsey -- Tracy and I thought it would be fun to go head to head on some of our differing opinions. Then you guys can weigh in and tell me I'm the one who is totally right who you agree with.

Suzy: So you called Gisele a skank this month and caught some crap for it from the supermodel lovers. I have to agree with them, I really don't think Gisele is skanky. She dated Leo for like five years and Tom Brady has been her only big boyfriend since. It's not her fault Tom stuck and ducked Bridget Moyahan. I blame him. Besides, if Gisele is a skank, how do you describe Paris Hilton and the members of her posse like Kim Stewart and the new sex tape queen Kim Kardashian? Skank city, friend.

Tracy: Point taken. Those other names you dropped (Paris, Kim S. and K.K.) are from the superslut category --there's a difference. Anyway, Gisele walks around like her doo-doo doesn't smell like poo-poo, and that annoys me. Whether or not Tom is to blame in this whole baby fiasco is null and void. I'd just love to see Gisele get dumped and knocked down off her very high, supermodel horse.

Check this out. An obsessed fan handcuffed herself to Hugh Grant at the premiere of Music and Lyrics in Amsterdam.

Cielke Sijben, a journalist working for a Dutch TV station, leaped forward as Grant walked the red carpet in Amsterdam and clamped the cuff on the star's wrist. Firefighters were called in to break Grant free, and the reporter was arrested by police.

A witness said Hugh was a good sport about everything. "He was the ultimate professional. He just stood in silence and waited for the firefighters to free him. He did look relieved when he disappeared into the theatre - she could have been a maniac."

Okay, I guess if I were a star that would freak me out, too, but reading about it just made me laugh.

The girl is in rehab and the drama still can't be stopped. According to The Mirror, Britney was in need of medical attention last night at Promises.

Paramedics rushed to the facility to treat the fading starlet, with Brit's mom and Kevin arriving shortly after. Officials confirmed that Spears was examined by paramedics after a call by worried staff on Saturday night. A Malibu sheriff at the scene said, "She is going to be okay."

A another witness reported, "Police said staff were concerned about Britney - but they didn't say why."

Nobody said detox was easy.

I'm just sitting here thinking some more about the Oscar telecast and I can't help but think Beyonce was trying to outsing Jennifer Hudson in their performance of the nominated songs from Dreamgirls.

J-Hud had just come off her win for Best Supporting Actress (which B was not even nominated for), and though we've been hearing tons of talk about how there's no animosity between the divas, and they are all supportive of each other and crap of that nature, it seemed to me that there definitely was some sort of singing battle taking place on that stage.

Loved the performance -- those girls can belt out a tune like nobody's business-- but I almost thought they were going to break into a rendition of "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better".

Because it's just not a day without some news on Britney Spears, I'll tell you this; K-Fed brought the kids to visit Brit on Saturday, People is reporting.

That's right. Britney's do-gooding-as-of-late ex brought Sean Preston, 17 months, and Jayden, 5 months to see their momma at Promises in Malibu. "The kids are his No. 1 priority and they always have been," the source says. "He's so stressed out right now. He only wants the best for Britney and the kids."

It continues to amaze me that Kevin is coming out of all of this looking like a pillar of the community. Wonders never cease.

"This is the only naked man that will ever be in my bedroom."

– Melissa Etheridge, on her Oscar for Best Song, "I Need to Wake Up" from An Inconvenient Truth

The buzz at some Oscar parties over the weekend was that ultimate Playboy Hugh Hefner will marry girlfriend, Holly Madison, on his reality show, The Girls Next Door, by the end of the year. "Hef thinks business all the time, and looks for a new hook, although he also does really love Holly," says a source.

Though Hef technically has three girlfriends, Holly, sexy Kendra, and dim-bulb Bridget, sources say Holly is the most devoted. She does get to sleep in Hef's bed. At night. When they're sleeping.

The wedding is being kept hush hush, but keep your eyes open for some signs when you're watching the new season of the show.

I'll just ask my husband to tell me if Holly is wearing a wedding dress, because he certainly pays no attention to what they are saying.

I wish I could give Ellen an Oscar for her awesome job as host, but I guess she technically would get an Emmy, because they were on televison...

It's 6:29 a.m., and having officially pulled an all-night, I feel like I'm back in college. While I go celebrate an amazing Oscar night with a pot of coffee and a pint of Ben & Jerry's (sssh, it's a very nutritious breakfast), check out what kept me up all night.

From Jennifer Hudson's big win to Kirsten Dunst's HORRENDOUS dress/makeup/hair/personality/everything, don't miss photos of the highlights and lowlights of the Oscars.

Go to the Best and Worst of the 2007 Academy Awards slide show now!

Tom was missing his Kat during the show, but don't worry, the separation was only temporary. They reunited at the Vanity Fair party right after the Oscars ended. Bummer. Check in on photos of other hot couples we spotted at the show in our slide show.

Go to the 2007 Hot Oscar Couples slide show now!

I love that Jack Nicholson is rocking the Britney look. And I thought he was the trendsetter.

Forest Whitaker won (as predicted). And, yes, Martin Scorsese finally won. Hip hip hooray.

To me, it's one step closer to the end of the show. I'm beat.

Here's another one for the ladies... Georgie Clooney presenting.

What the hell is going on with Philip Seymour Hoffman's hair? I know he's not all into style and fashion -- he's an artiste. But comb your friggin' hair when you're presenting at the Oscars!

Since Clive Owen had his 30 seconds of screen time, I've been getting emails from my big saying "Clive Owen photo, please"... every three minutes.

Here you go, sis. Hope this makes you happy. He's totally awes.

I wish they gave out a lot of the "boring awards" during a pre-show ceremony like they do at the Grammys. (Not that it makes the Grammys any shorter!) So during things like Best Score, I have to find my own amusement. In this instance, it's looking at a photo of Emily Blunt and Michael Buble. I don't know why I like them so much, but I really do. Or maybe it's just her accent. She sounds so cool. Damn those Brits. They could be saying something like "I'm a total bimbo slut" and still sound cute and classy while doing it.

Dude, there should be some type of rule that people need to deliver their Oscar speeches in English... or we need an interpreter who is on it. Poor Clint Eastwood, who forgot his glasses and barely got through his own lines, is playing interpreter and it's not going so well.

In the meanwhile, I think I've found another couple in which the dude is shorter than the dame. Check out Marky Mark and his baby mama.

While Celine Dion puts us to sleep... how about a little Daniel Craig to keep us up.

This one is for my sis, who loves to say "Daniel Craig"... over and over and over.

Jennifer Hudson shouldn't have won supporting actress because she looks so unfortunate. But at least she lost the space age coat. That makes it look way better.

And I love how Beyonce is clenching her hands together. Fakeness.

One last thing... Does God not love me because I don't have an Oscar? I hate when celebs thank God for silly statuettes. Makes me glad to live in the real world.

The same person had to have done Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman's hair.

And do you notice they're sorta walking funny? Straight hair causes people to walk weird? It's like they're trying so hard to keep it tucked behind their ears that they're all walking like robots.

Don't know how I'm feeling about this audience interaction. It's pretty painful watching her little dialogue with Clint Eastwood about the headphone she sent him years ago. Even worse? Mark Wahlberg talking about her bathroom.

I love Ellen and thought her opening act was great. Maybe she should stick to the stage.

I love that all of Tom Cruise's "ladies" are in the house. He is so lame. He has to be so intense in everything he does -- like introducing this chick movie head lady. I'll stop now because I just don't have anything nice to say about him. Lame, lame, lame.

Lady O is in LA... Right now she's at the Vanity Fair Oscar party with her BFF Mary J. "I Gave An Annoying Acceptance Speech at the Grammys Last Week" Blige and her husband, Kendu.

Oprah looks good these days. Not skinny minnie, but healthy. That's why I'm committing myself to 30 minutes of exercise a day, five days a week -- a la Bob Green and the Best Life thing. Well, I'm committed to it this week. Who knows beyond that.

Caption this photo of Kirsten Dunst.

Kirsten is holding her tummy because _________________________________.

Penelope Cruz is so pretty and has a great body. She could wear anything and look good. But I swear if this dress was mint green, it would look like my bathmat.

And may I say that I've been up close and person with my bathmat lately. I slept on it last weekend. Seriously. Talk about a hot mess.

Our Beauty & Style team is taking a little poll and I thought you'd like to cast your vote as well. Not sure why Jennifer Lopez is on the best dressed (she looked hideous), but that's why I'm a gossipeur and they're the fashion experts. Weigh in below.

Naomi Watts looks so pretty... with her little bun in the oven. But if I was friends with Nicole Kidman, I'd be like: Yo, walk at least 20 paces away from me at all times. All times. Nicole is like 8 feet tall and weighs 105 pounds and makes us shorties feel a little schluppy. But what a friggin' dress.

As Tracy said... I want Reese Witherspoon's body for one day. One day! Girl looks fabulous. Ryan, who?

If I were Anne Hathaway, I'd return this gift.

At first I wasn't feeling Cate Blanchett's dress, but a good TV close-up persuaded me otherwise. She looks fabulous. She always looks fabulous.

The only way Sally Kirkland ever gets press -- god love her -- is when she makes the worst dressed lists. So she always goes all out trying to look back at the Oscars every year.

Mission accomplished.

Again Beyonce leaves me underwhelmed. How can you have your own fashion line and wear the lamest dresses all the time?

Justin Timberlake's women are 0 for 2 tonight. Jessica Biel looks like a bottle of Pepto-Bismol... and the only time that's a good thing is when you're sick as a dog. Not to compare Jessica to a dog but... she's no Jackie Kennedy.

Who invited Celine Dion? I thought she was outta sight, outta mind in Las Vegas until retirement. But here she is -- looking like split pea soup -- with her old man. It's a long way from the days of "My Heart Will Go On" and her Titanic success, right? I forgot she was even considered a "celebrity."

Gwyneth Paltrow is dressed like an Oscar, isn't she? Not sure if I like it. She usually underwhelms at the Oscars though -- her pink prom dress the year she won, the see-through one the following year. She's pretty good the rest of the year, so I can't really complain.

Tracy cracked me up -- she says Jennifer Hudson is channeling her inner Judy Jetson. She's so right! As Astro would say: Rut row!

So many of the ladies are in navy and they look great. Portia, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Emily Blunt and Jodie Foster are just a few.

But I just caught a glimpse of Nicole Kidman's red dress. Showstopper, folks. Meanwhile, I saw her on that Oprah special the other night and she was a weirdo. So much surgery. So insecure. I felt so much better about myself by the time that was over.

I love Rachel Weisz and I think everyone looks good in red lipstick (I'm an addict), but I'm not loving her here tonight. Her eyes look uneven. She just looks off.

Why does Kelly Preston always wear animal print? It's weird. When you hit a certain age I feel like it's time to retire that... yet every few months she's sporting something leopard or cheetah print. She said John picked it out for her. Um, thanks honey.

And may I point out that it's friggin' Scientology night at the Oscars. The Travoltas, Cruises, the Lopez-Anthonys, the Pinkett-Smiths... Are they recruiting or something?

Someone on CNN just said "This is Al Gore's night" and blah, blah, blah.

Am I the only one who doesn't think he belongs at the Oscars? He's too boring. The craziest thing the man ever did was make out with his wife at the Democratic Convention back in the day.

If this is his night and he's a big highlight, I need to be heading to bed now.

PS: I think Tipper stopped getting blonde highlights, right? I guess that's what they mean when they say "ash blonde."

Poor, Cameron Diaz. Another red carpet, another dress gone wrong. Justin Timberlake isn't wiping tears at home.

Did J.Lo forget to get her hair done? On the screen it looks so frizzy. Seriously. Ick.

Pretty dress though -- the top part at least. The bottom is a little too big.

Okay, so this isn't an Oscar pic. But I was looking for Oscar pics and I found this one from a pre-Oscar event -- the Giorgio Armani Prive (whatever the hell that is) -- that took place in Los Angeles last night.

Katie Holmes and Penelope Cruz posing together and looking happy. Either they are great, great actresses (nah!) or they actually kinda like each other. Penelope is actually clutching Katie's dress -- weird. That whole Cruise clan is a bizarre one. But I don't have to tell you guys that.

Jodie Foster makes an Oscar appearance! Miracle of all miracles. That woman is never out. I wonder if her secret girlfriend is with her -- they definitely aren't posing together. Like the color of her dress.

Jodie starred in my favorite movie when I was a teen -- Stealing Home. I must have watched that friggin thing 500 times. I'm sure it won some Razzies. I thought it was groundbreaking... it was forgettable. But I digress.

And shout out to Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard. I love them. Maggie looks so pretty. And I recently saw a picture of Ramona -- I think in today's NY Post -- and what a cutie. She looks a lot like Peter.

Hello my Blabber-ers! I'm here in Orlando and it's wonderful. Not sure if it's snowy and icy where you are, but be a little jealous of me for having 24 hours of warmth. So the E! preshow started exactly 33 minutes ago and I would love to be able to weigh in on what's going on... but I don't friggin' have E! in my hotel room! So I hit the gym, ordered up some tasty room service and I'm waiting for the CNN preshow to start. Can you imagine what the CNN preshow is going to be like? Ugh! Bo-ring. I need my Ryan and Guiliana fix -- stat! But at least I'll get to see what peeps are wearing until the ABC preshow starts. So fill me in on anything I'm missing, k. xo- Suzy

Hey guys --
Don't forget that I will be here on Sunday live blogging the Oscars! I actually won't be "here" -- I'll be in Florida, with some room service, blogging away because I'll be on iVillage Live the next day at noon. So please come by and make fun of the stars with me. I promise we'll have some fun.
Till then...
Suzy

Because I know you need an afternoon Britney-fix, munch on this piece of Brit Brit gossip.

K-Fed reportedly visited her in rehab! How the Fedster ever came out of this looking like the "good" guy, I have no freakin' clue, but it's happened.

Supposedly worried about Britney and his two sons (who have been staying with him with Britney's mom's blessing), he went to Promises in Malibu, where Britney is being treated.

A source close to K-Fed told People.com, "Britney scared everyone pretty bad. Kevin is worried that's for sure. Kevin just wants her to be OK. He loves her, so however she can get better is just what we'll have to accept. [They] will make it work with the kids – it's all still for them."

Promises so sounds like the name of a strip club, doesn't it? What in the world do you think K-Fed said to Britney during his visit?

Former New Kid on the Block and Surreal Life star Jordan Knight and his wife, Evelyn, welcomed their second son to the world on Wednesday. People reports that Eric Jacob Knight was born 7pounds, five ounces, after an "intense" labor.

Eric joins older brother Dante Jordan, 7.

Three more to go to complete the next great boy band!

"We're trying to work everything out so the divorce goes right – not like a Hollywood divorce," Brown told People at Thursday's annual Vanity Fair Amped concert in Hollywood. "We're friends, you know. We're friends."

Whit filed for divorce from Bobby in October, after a tumultuous 14-year marriage. The couple share a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, 13, and plan to raise their girl together. "She's the greatest thing in both of our lives," said Brown. "We just appreciate each other now that we know the direction that we both want to go."

I applaud their efforts, but I've seen Being Bobby Brown. Even on Bobby and Whitney's best day, together they are train wreck.

Rapper Busta Rhymes just can't seem to lay low enough for the cops. He was arrested yesterday in New York City for driving without a valid license, after blowing a red light.

Busta spent 18 hours in a holding cell before being arraigned. He pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor charge and was released on his own recognizance.

Rhymes is already facing sentencing on two assault charges and was given a sweetheart plea offer: six months in jail or six months of anger-management classes and speaking to kids.

Great-- that's who I want teaching my kid right from wrong.

Lots of baby news today!

Kimberly Williams and Brad Paisely welcomed a baby boy Thursday morning in a Nashville hospital. Mom and tot are doing well.

This is the first child for the According to Jim actress and her country star hubby, who met when Kim appeared in one of Brad's videos. They married in 2003.

Cigars all around!

Another 30-second courtship has ended in a Las Vegas wedding.

MTV cutie Nick Cannon has married his girlfriend of three weeks, Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks. Sources say the couple, who were in Sin City for the NBA All-Star festivities, got married on a whim.

The couple met at a Super Bowl event in Miami and are planning a wedding reception in L.A. this weekend.

Now let me see...
They met at the Super Bowl, got married during the NBA All-Star game, which means, according to my calculations, they should be divorced by opening day of baseball season. Yup -- that seems right.

In the "what was he thinking?" category, The Daily News is reporting that Oscar nominee Terrence Howard and crazy, cell-phone throwing Naomi Campbell are a hot new item.

Howard was supposedly by the model's side when she had a run-in with Diddy at a post-Grammy party. Now sources are saying these two will make their big debut on Oscar night.

Why, why, why? This man is the total package -- talented, sweet and gorgeous. Does he not know Naomi is a holy terror?

Here's hoping Terrence has a complete set of goalie gear. I'm thinking a face mask, knee pads, a big wooden stick...

These two are addicted to babies.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are looking to add yet another child to their ever-growing brood. The gorgeous twosome have filed papers to take home a little boy from an orphanage in Vietnam, according to Us Weekly.

This newbie will be number 4 for Brangie. The pair already have three children -- Maddox, 5, Zahara, 2, and Shiloh, 9 months.

It's a girl!

Studio 60 star Amanda Peet and her husband, screenwriter David Benioff, welcomed a baby girl yesterday. The baby's name is Frances Pen, named for Peet's mother, Penny, reports Us Weekly.

Peet had planned on attending a Hollywood lunch on Wednesday -- but the stork had other plans. She went into labor and was rushed to a nearby hospital.

Congrats!

I feel like a friggin' yo-yo! Access Hollywood is reporting that Britney Spears is BACK IN REHAB! She reportedly checked back into Promises last night.

A paparazzi agency -- clearly stalking the meltdown mama -- spotted the pop singer returning to the Malibu treatment facility late last night. She was reportedly dropped off by her mother, Lynne.

Now join me in prayer... that I don't have to type the words Britney or Spears again today. I'm over it.

My friend KD has been known to belt out "Waiting For Tonight" in a karaoke bar every now and then, so I'm sure she's going to be psyched that Jennifer Lopez is scheduled to perform on American Idol on April 11th, which just happens to be K's birthday.

Access Hollywood reports that Mrs. Marc Anthony will be joining a good looking list of big names being thrown around to take the stage on the talent competition this season.

I really hope J.Lo sings in English -- Simon can barely understand anyone on the show as it is.

Just got some pretty big dish... According to Access Hollywood, Britney's children -- Sean Preston and Jayden James -- are now living with their father, Kevin Federline, in Tarzana. Apparently Britney's mom, Lynne Spears, has given her blessing to this situation.

No word on whether or not this will be permanent... or if Britney is going to check into (and out of) a new rehab facility today.

It's kinda crazy when the king of Popozao is the "responsible parent."

"I used to live in the same area as Britney for a while. I just want to scoop her up and give her a kiss. I hope she's all right. She's just had a new baby and stuff. I hope she can just enjoy it because it's an incredible thing. [And, I think] she looks good with her hair shaved off."

-- Gwen Stefani, who has a full head of hair, a strong marriage and is frequently seen with her son.

There was all this crazy talk yesturday that Christina Aguilera had a baby on board, but her publicist has called the rumor "all made up".

An employee at the posh baby boutique Bellini said that the dirty girl and her hubby, Jordan Bratman, were perusing the store and purchased over $3,000 worth of goods for their baby-to-be. Chrissy's rep said there's no way her client could have been seen at the Beverly Hills store, as "she was on a plane to Las Vegas for [an] NBA appearance."

I guess if we start to see some dark roots in her platinum blonde locks we'll know the real truth.

Is anyone surprised?

Tickets for the much-anticipated Van Halen reunion tour, featuring wild-man lead singer David Lee Roth, were slated to go on sale this weekend, but that's not going to be the case.

Though no reason was given for the hold on the 40-date tour, Eddie Van Halen's publicist said reports of a cancellation shouldn't be considered fact until an official announcement is made.

Right. I won't be digging up my 1984 concert shirt anytime soon.

The rock group is still scheduled to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 12th.

Who wants to guess what David Lee Roth did this time?

Not like any of us really had a chance, anyway.

Page Six is reporting that superstar Usher has proposed to his longtime girlfriend, stylist Tameka Foster. Though a rep for the hottie had no comment, sources say Usher has been introducing Foster as his fiancee and she has been seen sportin' quite the lovely ring bling.

Tameka must have come to terms with Usher's very public infidelity while dating TLC's Chili -- or she just can't see past his six-pack.

We hope Ashlee Simpson wasn't making any long-term plans with Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz.

The nutty musician had these very nice things to say about Ash to Rolling Stone, "Maybe in a different universe, we'd be some hot couple, but not in this one. I'm attracted to creative people and train wrecks, and there's no shortage of that in Los Angeles."

Pete sure knows how to make a girl feel special.

The king of romance was also seen out and about (and by out and about I mean making out) with Bruce and Demi's daughter Rumer and Buffy's Michelle Trachtenberg, who were fighting over him.

He disgusts me.
