Just like last month, Tracy and I will be debating some of the things we disagreed on this month. Read our back and forth, then tell us what you think. First up? Avril Lavigne...

Suzy: Worse than last month's obsessive love of Will Smith, this time it was your love of Avril "the Spitter" Lavigne. You love her? Really? Personally, I think she should be banished from the music world for mispronouncing rock legend David Bowie's name when she read the Grammy nominations. Then again, it's not like she's truly a musician... she's more of a lip-syncing little troll.

Tracy: Give me break! In a world of pop music tartlets, Avril is one chick who has her head on straight. She does what she wants and makes no apologies -- I find that admirable. She's managed to have a successful career without slutting around Hollywood and is, spitting aside, a strong role model for young girls.

Suzy: Check out this lovely collection of photos -- all pics of that twit totally intoxicated. Boozing, nuzzling other girls, flipping the bird, falling over... I don't know who your role models are, but I seriously question how this untalented urchin can make your list.

Tracy: She an of-age girl hanging with her friends - and in not one of those photos is her cooter uncovered. But I guess it's hard for you to see clearly when you spend all your time in the convent, Sister Suzy.

Suzy: Yes, my child, I do. And I spend most of my time praying that you'll come to your senses about Avril.

Somewhere Chili is boiling!

Usher -- who famously romanced and then cheated on TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas -- is settling down. According to his spokesperson, the singer/actor/dimple-er is engaged to his girlfriend, stylist Tameka Foster.

Usher tells MTV that he could be walking down the aisle before the end of the year.

Just don't let Chili find out the whens and wheres.

Hurry up and call your girlfriends -- the Sex and the City movie is happening! And Samantha will be played by Kim Cattrall.

It seems it is a done deal as Sara Jessica Parker and the other ladies have signed the papers.

I'd better book a babysitter now!

Even though Jennifer Lopez clings to the hope that people still think she's just a proud Latina from the Bronx, somebody's calling her on it.

Ritmo Latino, a Latino music chain, has banned all J-Lo material from their 50 U.S. stores. David Massry, president of the chain, tells the New York Daily News they are done with Jen because she "has refused personally to promote her new CD in any of our stores" and other Latino-only retail outlets. "We've supported her from the beginning," the prez said. "Now we're told by her record company she will only visit Anglo retail outlets."

So Jenny will sign your CD only if your block happens to be the same block as a Tower Records.

I know this is like my 47th entry about Diddy this week, but this one is too good to let go.

MediaTakeOut.com is reporting that a Bad Boy insider believes that Dannity Kane hottie, Aubrey O'Day, may be pregnant --with Diddy's baby!

According to the insider, whispers of an Aubrey pregnancy have been widespread among the Bad Boy staff. The blabber explains, "People here are always gossiping, so at first I didn't listen to them. But I swear ... now Aubrey is beginning to show."

Holy Crap!

The snitch continues, "Everyone knows she had something going on with [Diddy]. It makes a lot of sense that he would be the father."

If it is true, the "Making the Band" alumni will be the fourth woman to mother an itty-biity Diddy baby -- and then Aubrey and Diddy can make a show called "Making the Baby".

All you have to do in this town is avoid a glass of champagne and people think you've got a bun in the oven.

That's what started the buzz when Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen's love, Isla Fisher, turned down a drink at the Cat and Fiddle club the other night. Supposedly Isla then made an announcement to their friends.

"We've got some good news: I'm pregnant," she was overheard saying.

Their reps refused to comment on the baby news, but here's hoping it's true. I bet the kid's first word will be "anus".

I know it will never happen, but isn't it fun to imagine what it would be like if Paris actually had to do time?

Prosecutors are saying that Paris violated her probation by driving with a suspended license. They've asked a judge to revoke the reckless driving probation, which could mean she would have to spend up to 90 days in jail! The celebutart's attorney had initially said Par didn’t know her license had been suspended.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, Your Honor.

I am praying every waking minute that she goes to the slammer. I bet when they tell her she's off to the "big house", she'll pretend she didn't understand and head to the nearest mansion.

Poor Kevin. After all he's been through, the talent-less, nothing-without-Britney guy will walk away from his marriage with just a measly million dollars.

Yes, Brit and Kevin have finally reached a settlement in their divorce. They will share custody of their two boys and are just waiting the final signature from the judge, before all of this madness is finally put to rest.

I'm beginning to think Kevin Federline is an evil genius.

Seriously, I'm on the phone with my cable company right now. I need to see much more of this Irish lad.

I just love how she's posing under the Golden Arches. I mean -- do you think the Bentley driving, fur loving diva actually slums at McDs? Ha! I bet she's never even heard of the Dollar Value Menu.

"He thought I was becoming a Jedi."

It seems that Dolly told a British newspaper this personal ditty about herself:

“When I have sex with my husband these days, I fantasize I am with someone like Keith Urban or a petite, hot young woman."

Well, hellooooo Dolly! Maybe Drew is interested.....

In a candid new interview with Parade magazine, Halle Berry admits that she attempted to take her own life after her messy split with Atlanta Braves jerk, David Justice. It was her mom that saved her at the last minute.

"I was sitting in my car, and I knew the gas was coming when I had an image of my mother finding me," Halle tells the magazine. "She sacrificed so much for her children, and to end my life would be an incredibly selfish thing to do. It was all about a relationship. My sense of worth was so low," she says. "I promised myself I would never be a coward again."

Hal also opened up about her second marriage to sex-addict, Eric Benet. She describes their union as "really horrific," admitting that they were in counseling after one year. "I wish I had left then, but I was putting everyone's needs before mine," she said.

Now Halle has moved on with model Gabriel Aubry, and though she's ruled out tying the knot again, she's ready for a new adventure. "Now my sights are set on a different chapter in my life, which is motherhood. That's the goal I have very clearly set for myself."

Shanna Moakler has a really ridiculous problem with former drunky Miss USA, Tara Connor.

Shanna, who won the title herself in 1995, is not happy with her new haircut. Since Trav's wife cut bangs, websites have been saying that she and Tara look super similar. Not exactly a compliment, according to Shan.

"I cut my hair but since I am being compared to the she-devil herself I will grow it out," Shanna said in a recent posting on her MySpace page.

Shanna has her sash all in a bunch because she thinks Tara should have been stripped of the Miss USA title when it was revealed that she had been abusing drugs and alcohol.

You know what I say? WHATEVER, Shanna.

I don't know anything for sure, but I'm thinking Shanna is sitting in her glass house, with crazy Travis, juggling stones.

I already thought Bam Margera was a loon and often comment that I don't know how anyone could stand him for five minutes, let alone marry him, but he's actually managed to climb even higher on the rungs of my crazy ladder.

The Daily News is reporting that Bam has a giant mural of Lance Bass on his garage. "There's a big portrait of Lance in an astronaut uniform, smiling broadly and holding his helmet proudly," says the fortunate insider who blabbed to the paper. "In the background is a NASA shuttle ascending to space on a giant rainbow."

Okaaaaay.

When his friend asked him about the painting, Bam enthusiastically confirmed that absolutely was Lance. He said, "Hell yeah! The guy from 'N Sync who wanted to go to outer space, but never made it and was all gay and sh*t!"

Talk about people in outer space....

"I'm so proud of Tony. He is such a talent."

--an apparently hard of hearing Eva Longoria to People, in reference to beau, Tony Parker's, new French album, Balance-toi.

Here's some juice to go with your bagel this morning.

Drew Barrymore has been out on about with new stud Spike Jonze, but it appears, back in the day, Drew dabbled in some lady love.

Former Jane Magazine Editor, Jane Pratt, announced on her new radio show yesterday that she and DB got it on years ago. Jane's blabbing that, though she did admit to shock-jock Howard Stern that she had had sex with a woman, she never came clean with who it was. Well, she's talking now.

"It was someone famous," she revealed on the air. "I did have sex with Drew Barrymore."

The new radio host didn't go into much detail and never revealed when the romp took place, but Drew did appear on the 1997 debut issue of Jane.

Hmmm. I'm no Einstein but I bet it was right around that time.

Drew's peeps had no comment.

Drew's always been the free spirit so I'm sure this doesn't shock anyone, but it's a little juicy, no?

Anyway, here's the cover of the seventh and final Harry Potter book called Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which will be released July 21.

I kinda wish the cover was one of those nudie pictures of Daniel Radcliffe from that play he's doing. Way more exciting.

"The weekend's difficulties were brought on by a reaction to an imbalance in medications used to treat my bipolar disorder... Scott was simply trying to help calm me down. I want to make it very clear that he did not hurt me in any way. For lack of a better expression, I was unstable and just lost it."

Which "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum is supplementing a moribund acting career with a thriving business as a pot dealer?

My guess is that it's Vincent Young (Noah)... or the older guy who played Nat. No wonder the Peach Pit was such a popular place! What do you think?

Former soccer superstar Mia Hamm and her baseball playing hubby, Nomar Garciaparra of the LA Dodgers, are the proud parents of twin daughters. They girls arrived earlier today.

"Both babies are healthy," said a spokesman for the Dodgers.

No word on what they were named.

Is anybody still in Oprah's Book Club? I admit that I've never participated -- I'm too busy reading celeb magazines, Beatles books and trashy tell-alls -- but I know some of you buggers out there are all about the Ops, so I'm passing along her latest selection...

According to Amazon.com, the "profoundly dark" book -- The Road written by Cormac McCarthy -- is a "post-apocalyptic masterpiece" and one of the best books of the year.

Wonder if this book will spark the same phenomena as The Secret. O so has the golden touch.

Another day, another celebrity arrest.

While Fergie was probably off getting her butt flossed by Josh Duhamel, her Black Eyed Peas bandmate Taboo was being arrested for driving under the influence after a collision. The 31-year-old hip-hopper, whose real name is Jaime Luis Gomez, was taken into custody yesterday morning after a car crash 20 miles outside of Hell A.

Last night he was released with a citation for possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, possession of a prescribed medication without a prescription and driving under the influence.

Move to New York, people! You can partake... and cab it home.

You know -- the whole thing makes me want to eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. And it's nearing Easter, so they have the ones shaped like Easter eggs that are oh so festive...

I have to stop getting to work so early these days -- I'm starving by 10 am!

Much like comic Sinbad, Diff'rent Strokes star Todd Bridges is not dead.

There was some confusion yesterday when a New York radio station released a story about Shaun Bridges, a truck driver whose drug addiction become the subject of a documentary and who recently died after a long illness. A gossip website then took the story and ran, causing lots of chaos for Todd's family, who couldn't get in touch with him.

"There were all these calls about it, and for a half an hour no one could reach me," Todd told People. "I was in (electronics store) Fry's shopping and I had my cell phone on silent. I am just glad that my kid never heard it." He told the magazine, "When you write the story, make sure you make it clear that I am alive."

Todd did have trouble with drugs in past, but he has been sober for the last 14 years.

If Willis was dead, I bet Arnold would have wanted to flush him down the toilet, much like his beloved goldfish, Abraham.

Goldie Hawn better break out the pack n' play.

E! is reporting that Goldie's son and Kate's brother, hottie Oliver Hudson and his wife, Erinn, are expecting their first child together. The couple are newlyweds, having married last June in Mexico.

Let's just hope Oliver's kid gets a haircut before he/she hits puberty, unlike Kate's son, Ryder, who is often seen looking like Cousin It.

And when I say "time", I mean lots of it.

The hip-hop superstar told London's Daily Mirror that his trip across the pond has been eventful. Though his scheduled concert with Snoop Dog was cancelled because Snoop wasn't allowed in the country, Diddy found plenty of other ways to spend his time.

"I've spent a lot of time with Kim in Paris," he told the paper. "And it's been perfect. As soon as we landed, we went straight to the Eiffel Tower, drank champagne at the top and just kissed and kissed."

Romantic, right? It gets better.

"Then we went up to my suite and had tantric sex for at least 30 hours, ordering up whipped cream and strawberries while we were at it. As meticulous as I am with my work, I'm more meticulous with lovemaking. I like to do it for a long time."

You know what? I wouldn't expect him to say anything else.

Just because Lindsay Lohan's dad got sprung from jail doesn't mean that she'll be welcoming him back into her life.

According to Page Six, Linds told her father, "You still haven't changed. Don't go near my mother ever again."

Michael Lohan was released from jail two weeks ago, after serving 20 months for drunk driving. After sending the warning to her dad, "Lindsay called her mother and told her to be careful and to take care of her brother and sister," said a source.

Daddy Lohan was hoping to patch things up with Linds, now that he's done his time and reportedly "found religion."

Be realistic, Mikey. If you and Momma Lohan were Lindsay's party pals, who would watch the other kids?

"I didn't know you were this nice. I thought you were a bitch."

-- Legend Patti LaBelle to reported diva Jennifer Hudson, as Patti accepted an award from Jen at the GLAAD Awards.

Love it!

I guess Laguna Beach's Jessica learned something from ex-boyfriend Jason.

Jess and Jason can talk about what's like to spend time in the Big House, as the "real O.C." dumbbell was arrested yesterday on suspicion of felony driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, after crashing her VW Beetle on the Santa Ana Freeway. Cops say Jessica rear-ended an Acura with force and caused "great bodily injury" to occupants of both cars.

The police report said that Jessica's level of intoxication, plus her speed and the wet roadway, were all factors in the crash. The driver of the Acura and Jessica's passenger both suffered minor injuries. Jess is being held in an Orange County jail with her bail set at $100,000. She's due in court tomorrow morning.

Now Jessica and Jason can have matching orange jumpsuits. Stupid, spoiled rich kids.

The country singer's world came crashing down earlier today when her husband/mate/other half was arrested on three counts of aggravated sexual battery against a minor under the age of 13.

Yes, I said under the age of 13.

D.R. Roach, who has been in rehab for drug and alcohol abuse since February, is now in police custody in Taylor County, Texas. He's being held on $750,000 bond.

And don't think Wynonna will be all Tammy Wynette, singing "Stand By Your Man." She's already kicked him to the curb, filing for divorce earlier today.

"I am obviously devastated," Wynonna said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight. "Our family will pull together, begin the healing process and hopefully -- by the Grace of God -- become stronger. We will move forward with our faith, family and our friends to find resolution to this difficult situation."

Maybe she should consult Mary Weiland as to how to seek revenge? Just a thought.

"They are 100% dating," says a close insider. "Reese and Jake are being smart about things and keeping their relationship very discrete and out of the public eye."

The couple met last year while filming their new movie Rendition.

I have a little Bob Marley playing in my head right now:

Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
Is this love - is this love - is this love -
Is this love that I'm feelin'?
I wanna know - wanna know - wanna know now!
I got to know - got to know - got to know now!

"They split in February," a source close to James told People. "It's very amicable."

News of the split broke as James has recently been seen out and about with Miss Lindsay Lohan. One club hopper, who recently saw them out in LA, told People that they "were never affectionate, but they did seem flirty, standing right next to each other, and constantly talking."

Get in line, fella!

Ordinarily, I'd ask y'all who you think James should date next, but let's be honest... Who the hell cares?

If Lindsay Lohan would just try and have a little pride...

LL was seen draping herself all over Paris's ex, Stavros Niarchos, at Teddy's in L.A.. Why these former bffs must recycle men is mind-blowing. Lindsay has dated Stavros in the past, and always seems to be there to pick up the pieces when he and Paris take a break. It's sort of pitiful.

Linds and Stav left the club together, no doubt to stick it to Paris a little more.

You're just a pawn in their little game, Stavros.

The Creepy Dad of the Week Award (also known as the Joe Simpson Award) goes to Jack Birch, father of actress Thora Birch.

Thora was the chick in Ghost World, American Beauty and Patriot Games, but hasn't been around much lately -- maybe this is why. Her dad is also her manager and treated the cast and crew of Thora's new movie, The Winter of Frozen Dreams, to quite the show last week.

Jack insisted that he be on set for the filming of his daughter's sex scene, which is not unusual if he was making sure she wasn't being exploited. Disturbingly enough, that wasn't the case.

"It was so wrong," said one witness. "The director is saying, 'Harder! Faster!' and the father is giving [Thora's co-star, Dean] Winters the thumbs up." At one point, "her father was threatening to kill the assistant directors. Then he threatens to pull her from the movie with three days of shooting left." Apparently, Jack had been giving the director lots of tips on how to shoot Thora from the best angle throughout the filming. If that's not bad enough, the scene took 14 takes to get.

"It was the most bizarre, perverse scene," the insider told Page Six. "One girl on the crew broke down crying."

Okay, I'm nauseous.

There are just certain things that should not be shared between a father and a daughter -- anything to do with simulated sex scenes being number 1 on the list.

How did Eva Longoria allow this to happen?

Eva's beau, Tony Parker, has decided to try his hand at rapping! The San Antonio Spurs star has released this new video, starring the Desperate Housewives looker, for the French song "Balance Troi".

It's bad, people. I thought I was watching a Saturday Night Live skit.

It almost makes K-Fed look like Jay-Z.

It may not be happily ever after for Brad and Angie and their new son, Pax.

The News of the World is reporting that a man claiming to be Pax's biological grandfather is making threats to the star couple. He says that his daughter, a heroin addict who gave birth to Pax and put him up for adoption two days later, will be making waves for Brangelina.

"When she finds out that a rich movie star has adopted her baby, she will go after Angelina Jolie for money and make trouble for her," he told the newspaper. "She may even try to take the child back."

Though insiders say the adoption was "completely legal", questions were raised because the papers were signed by Pax's grandparents, as opposed to his mother.

You'd better sit down for this one.

According to Rush and Malloy, Paris' first was none other than Randy Spelling! Yes, Tori's brother and Aaron's turtle-looking son had the honor of going where no man had gone before, and where thousands of men have been since.

If was way back when, when Paris actually had a curfew and was under some adult supervision.

"We were together for like two months," Randy told R&M. "We went to Palm Springs once for the weekend, and we couldn't check into the hotel under her name because her grandma was looking for her. She was like 15; I was 17. And what do you know, I hear this knock-knock-knock on the door, and I look out and her grandma's there. And then I look out the window and I see Paris in a full-on dress with a suitcase running down the golf course. We broke up like a week later."

Agent David Weintraub said that Aaron's heir revisited the party later on in life, as well, "Randy was Paris' number one and her number 50 and number 150."

According to Randy, Paris will always have a place in her heart for him, which was illustrated when the duo ran into each other in L.A. recently. "She came up to me and she was like, 'I want to say hi to Randy,' " he boasted. "She was like, 'Randy took my virginity. I want to say hi!'"

Aw, what a sweet story. Two baby rich kids getting it on for the first time. Such a storybook romance.

Scott Weiland's wife, Mary, was arrested for torching her husband's clothes outside their Toluca Lake home over the weekend. The blazing was preceded by a nasty brawl at a fancy schmancy hotel that left two rooms vandalized.

Mary Weiland was booked for investigation of felony arson vandalism after destroying $10,000 worth of her husband's threads. Officers on the scene found the designer duds smoldering in a trash can. Earlier in the evening, the po-po were called to the Graciela Hotel after the Weilands got into a fight that left two rooms in disarray.

"Both rooms had damage and items scattered, broken plates and things. It was looking definitely like items were deliberately destroyed," said a police spokesperson, who added that the amount of damage exceeded $400. "She is a suspect in the vandalism. He is not."

This whole story gives me flashback of Waiting to Exhale -- when Angela Bassett took her cheating husband's clothes and gave them a bonfire-themed going-away party. That will forever be one of the greatest movie scenes ever. I bet Mary agrees.

According to Us, these are the drugs that were found in Anna Nicole Smith's system when she died. And I grumble at having to take my one asthma pill every day!

The Baywatch chick I can see. But Courtney Love, who looks like Hedda Nussbaum with her latest facelift? And I dig Amy Winehouse (how long have I been quoting "Rehab"?), but between the booze and eyeliner assault, girl is a hot mess.

Somewhere Demi Moore is having a nice chuckle. She landed the handsome boy toy while Bruce is still supping on leftovers.

The results are in.

Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger deems Anna's death an "accidental overdose." There was no evidence of illegal drugs on the day Anna Nicole died and there was no evidence of foul play. Chief Tiger says Howard K. Stern will not be prosecuted, as his computer was checked and there was no evidence of anything unusual.

Dr. Joshua Perper, the Medical Examiner for Broward County, announced that he found nine prescription drugs in Anna's system, including methadone, anti-anxiety drugs and "longevity" drugs. Nothing illegal was found.

Perper said that though Anna did have an infection from a drug injection in her buttocks, the playmate was taking antibiotics that were keeping the infection under control, and it was not soley the cause of death. None of the drugs in Anna's system were taken in a large enough dose to kill her by themselves -- it was the lethal combination that ended her life.

So tragic. She lived in a big way and died in a big way. R.I.P. ANS.

Snoop Dog has been denied a British visa due to his past criminal history, reports The Daily Mirror.

The blunt-smoking rapper is scheduled to perform with cohort P Diddy at Wembley tomorrow night, and tickets are still being sold for the event.

Snoop gave this statement:

"All I can do is politely ask the Home Office to reconsider this. I can reach the kids with my mic that politicians cannot with their voices. I can tell them to stop the violence and killings that have been happening in the UK."

Come on, people! What could happen? He'll get the munchies and eat all of your fish and chips?
Let the man do his thing.

Harry and British TV personality Natalie Pinkham were doing some major canoodling at London's Boujis nightclub, the News of the World reports.

"Harry was obviously very drunk," said a witness. "He and Natalie spent most of the night huddled together at a corner table beside the dance floor where Harry's bodyguards did their best to hide them both from view. They ordered full-size bottles of vodka and cans of Red Bull and mixed their own drinks at the table. It was clearly a big night out for both of them. Harry kept putting his arm around her. At times it even looked like he was kissing her neck -- although it was difficult to see. They were certainly being very touchy-feely with each other."

Uh-oh.

To make matters worse, when Harry tried to sneak out of the club, a photographer snagged a shot of the prince and he flipped. "He screamed at me to 'F*ck off', then grabbed me and tried to shove me over," said the member of the paparazzi. "He had his hands around my collar and back. It was an assault. I've never known anything like it before."

I can totally understand Harry hating the paparazzi after all that happened with Diana, but if you don't want to be caught with your hand in the cookie jar don't be munching the Oreos in the middle of the kitchen.

Catch my drift?

Or so they say.

People were buzzing that Britney was rushed to the emergency room Sunday evening, after meeting with her AA sponsor earlier in the day. Though it seemed like we were about to witness another chapter in Britney's Book of Scandal, sources are saying the girl just had a tooth issue and her dentist happened to be at the Century City Hospital.

"She has had a toothache for a few days and her assistant got a dentist to see her on Sunday," says the source. "So technically she may be AT a hospital but she is at the dentist."

It was reported that cops were forced to swarm the area for crowd control due to a host of paparazzi visiting the hospital, but Access Hollywood said there were none at the scene.

Brit seemed to be doing well, otherwise, since flying the Promises coop last week. She went to a dance class and out for sushi with pals Friday night and was running errands on Saturday.

If anyone runs into Britney in the next day or two, check her mouth for those gauzy pads.

Bruce Willis definitely knows how to celebrate a birthday. I've already heard two stories this morning of the big B getting it on with two different Hollywood ladies, while welcoming the big 52.

The Daily News is saying that Bruce was making out with -- wait for it -- Courtney Love! The surprising duo were partying at Amy Winehouse's (who reportedly turned the Brucer down) gig at the Roxy, where they publicly got their kiss on.

Then Bruce was off to kick it with Hef, at the Palms in Vegas, where he flirted with Baywatch babe Donna D'errico. Donna seemed game to hang with the Die Hard stud, according to onlookers."They left together and definitely hooked up," says a source close to the former Playmate.

Bruce is obviously lonely and grasping at straws. I mean, at least Donna is somewhat hot, but Courtney Love and Amy Winehouse? For God's sake, man, think!

Even with the new addition to her family, Angelina is still very much in mourning over her mother's recent death.

Her brother, James (the recipient of the famous kiss), is worried about his sis. "Angie has become very thin because she's grieving," he reveals, referring to the loss of Marcheline Bertrand. "It's even difficult for her to eat. I keep saying to her, 'Don't forget to eat,'" he told the London Daily Mail. "But you know she doesn't pay much attention to food anyway and she's been going through a process of grief like me. She has not wanted to eat, nor has she been able to."

James also spoke up about the strained relationship he and Angelina have with their dad, Jon Voight. "My dad left a voice-mail message that was very kind, wishing condolences to me and my sister. That was what he did," Angie's bro sarcastically told the paper. "What I have to deal with is that there's no such thing as him making amends now - he's lost his chance and that just makes me and Angelina even more upset."

I'm sad for them. I hope they find peace soon.

"I don't insinuate that I have a ton of dignity -- come on, I'm 19 -- but it's something I strive to possess and important in how you treat others, how you handle your job and treat yourself. It's also something that can be easily lost. I hope I can hold on to dignity as I move forward."

-- a very mature sounding Hilary Duff, about her new album.

Hopefully we won't be reminding her of this when she checks into rehab.

Because it's Friday morning, and we all deserve a good kick-off to the weekend, here's a little ditty just for fun.

I just read a story that Victoria Beckham is organizing a book club! Those scheduled to appear at the monthly tea-sipping gatherings? Posh's BFF Katie Holmes and J-Lo!

Quite a crew, no?

Vicki has said that she wants to teach her pals from the U.S. all about classic English literature.

Yes, Posh Spice, enlighten us on the literary giants of your homeland!

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "When Victoria told Katie about a book club, Katie thought it was a great idea, especially as she would love to learn more about British classics." Some of the books on the list include Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Sense and Sensibility.

What a hoot! What's next ladies -- a Tupperware party?

.

Like I said, I'm not a fan, but I will give credit where credit is due. Brad and Angie are back in the news this morning (are they ever really gone?) as they have donated $100,000 to help build a kickin' medical facility in Sudan.

The Duk Lost Boys Clinic will be run by a Sudanese philanthropist who was featured in a documentary that Brad produced. The clinic will open later this spring and serve more than 150,000 people.

Ever the do-gooders those Jolie-Pitts.

Mick bragged, "I never get tired." Apparently not. One of the scheduled shows will be at the Isle of Wight festival, 43 years after the pillow-lipped skinny minnie and his band first appeared there.

43 years? Holy crap. I'm exhausted just thinking about it.

An exclusive report from the Star and the National Enquirer says that ANS met her maker due to an overdose of a potent sleep aid. The magazines are claiming that Anna had a "raging blood infection" that was the cause of her severe fever and nausea in the days before her death.

The infection, the mags say, was the result of an injection given to the model three days before she died -- the needle used was reportedly unsterilized. The reports don't reveal what the injected substance was, only that a "painful abscess developed" at the site.

Sadly, the tabloids speculate that Anna would have survived had she been properly treated in a hospital, as opposed to self-medicating.

The Broward County Medical Examiner, Dr. Joshua Perper, is set to reveal his official findings about what killed ANS on Monday.

Jason Alexander should have kept his mouth shut for so many reasons.

Britney has had it with her first hubby, the guy she flew to Vegas with and married for one milisecond. Since ending her stay at Promises, Brit has sent her lawyers after her ex for dishing to the tabloids. Apparently jason had to sign some confidentiality agreement before they tied the knot, which he has violated -- big time.

According to Britney's lawyer, Jase has "has been peddling false, defamatory and outrageous stories" and "selling and exploiting private and confidential information about Ms. Spears to the media for money and notoriety."

Get out - really?

In a "kick-her-when-she's-down" move, Brit's high school bud/ex-hubby blabbed to the Sunday Mirror about Britney's lesbian encounters and crazy drug use, saying he was talking so she wouldn't "end up like Anna Nicole Smith."

Sure, Jason. That's why you did it. That's why you gave your story to a British tabloid. He makes me sick, I tell you. Sick, sick, sick.

Pot to Kettle: You're black!

Contact Music is reporting that Dina Lohan (Lindsay's madre) chastised Lynne Spears (Britney's madre) for her mothering skills. Specifically, Dina -- who clearly wants to be a star herself -- said that Lynne should have spoken out publicly in defense of Britney when Brit had her meltdown.

"I don't know her mom," Dina reportedly said. "But I love this kid, and I feel so badly for her because I'm a mom. The girl is a beautiful kid. She married some guy just to get out of the limelight. Cut her some slack... Her mother, I'm surprised she didn't come forward. I'm not gonna sit back and go, 'You're gonna trash my kid?' If my daughter was in high school, I would be at the principal's office. Hello?"

Right, Dina would speak out publicly for Lindsay... because the lady never shuts up! Every night she's out on the town, riding her daughter's coattails. She's been pimping out her kids since they were in diapers, using them as her meal ticket -- specifically, to pay those plastic surgery bills. She's even in some magazine right now and told the interviewer that if she was an ugly stage mom, she wouldn't catch as much flack from the media. What a "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" thing to say. Ugh the ego!

Firecrotch Senior needs to get her life in order before she goes after poor Lynne Spears, who is never on the red carpet, bar hopping, pathetically throwing herself at Hollywood actors or giving interviews about her daughter's drug use. It's just really sad.

How delicious is ginger haired Ruby Sweetheart Maguire, the daughter of Tobey and his fiancée Jen Meyer?

Mom is getting the little one shopping early -- they were snapped leaving trendy Fred Segal in L.A. I'm sure Rubes picked up some fancy shmancy new designer baby duds. Good thing daddy has a new movie coming out. Cha-ching.

There's a lot of smack talking about Bridget Moynahan, who's expecting her first child -- with ex-boyfriend Tom Brady -- later this year. People who comment here at the Blabber insist that the Six Degrees star tried to "trap" the football player and got pregnant to try and "save" their relationship. While I'm typically down for a celeb trash talk, that sounds a little too Sami Brady from Days of Our Lives for me. I like to think that a classy chick like Bridget wouldn't resort to an overused soap opera plot device in real life.

I could be wrong.

Anyway, Bridget taped an appearance on Martha Stewart -- that will air Monday -- and People.com has a sneak peek. Here's what she said about the bun...

"This week [it'll be] five months," said the Six Degrees actress, 35, who announced in February that she's expecting her first child with her ex-boyfriend, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

"Five months pregnant!" Stewart said. "Are you excited about being a mom?"

"I am. I'm a little nervous, 'cause I haven't done it before," said Moynahan. "But, you know, I have little nephews, and it's always nice to spend time with them, especially around the holidays."

I say power to the girl for doing the single mom thing. I could never do it.

And that's just a taste of how awesome the girl is. In the new issue of Jane, Avril Lavigne talks about everything from her marriage to fellow rocker Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley, to drugs, to Britney.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

On her wedding: "I wanted to be like, 'Oh, let's totally have a rock 'n' roll, goth wedding' but at the same time I was like, 'I've been dreaming about my wedding day since I was a little girl. I have to wear the white dress.' I wanted to be a princess, okay?"

On her bond with her hubby: "We have a really good, strong relationship. There's a lot of trust. I'm the best thing that's ever happened to him."

On drugs: "I've never done coke in my life, and I'm proud of that. Oh my God! I could never. I am 100 percent against drugs."

On how she deals with the paparazzi: "I don't know what the big deal was, because I've been spitting at paparazzi the past two years I've lived in L.A. It was funny. But I think if Britney had had no underwear on that week, my spitting thing wouldn't have been talked about."

Love her!

Yes, Justin, how awful for you.

But the most upsetting part of the interview for me was his whining about participating in the "My Grammy Moment" contest, where he performed with American Idol reject Robyn Troup, who got a second chance at her 15 minutes of fame. Justin said he wanted to backout when he realized how potentially disastrous it could be, but didn't, “Because I’m the nice guy who follows through on the things he commits to,” he told the mag.“But I don’t know if I’ll be going through that sort of thing again. I feel like the Grammys used me for ratings. And look at it — they were up 18 percent.”

I was completely fooled by his performance. I was all in love with him because he seemed genuinely happy for the girl and looked like he had fun doing it.

I still loves his music, and I still hope he gets back with Britney, but you've broken my heart a little, Justin. You've broken my heart.

A few months ago we were talking about how Carmen Electra has been spending a lot of time with rocker Joan Jett. I speculated that these two were perhaps more than just good friends. Since then the girls have been seen out and about aplenty, attending fashion shows and clubbing as a team. But Carmen has decided to put an end to the rumors. Her rep told Us Weekly, "They are just friends."

That's it? Nothing else?

One word: Unconvinced.

It looks like Tom Brady will not be pushing the double stroller.

Despite whisperings that Tom's new girlfriend Gisele was also with child (Brady's former gf, Bridget Moynahan's, has got his bun in her oven), the supermodel has finally spoke out on the pregnancy rumors to the Spanish TV show Corazon de Primavera.

"I'm not pregnant and I'm not planning to be pregnant anytime soon. I have so many contracts to do, so many projects." The gorgeous Vicki S. model feels she is way too young to take on a family. "It's just something I don't want now - it's something for the future," Gisele said. "I'm 26 years old, for Christ's sake! Why would I have a baby now?"

I bet Tom is breathing a major sigh of relief. Now he won't have to run back and forth between hospital rooms like Steve Martin in Father of the Bride 2.

After the bad press (no such thing, right?) Jesse Metcalfe has been getting about his bad behavior at the Mondrian hotel this weekend, the pathetic actor has decided to follow in the footsteps of almost everybody else in Hollywood and hit the rehab circuit. His rep released this statement:

"On Monday, March 19, Jesse Metcalfe entered a rehab facility to deal with alcohol issues. He realized he had a problem and was anxious to deal with it immediately. The actor, best known as the hunky gardener on the ABC show 'Desperate Housewives' and the star of the film 'John Tucker Must Die,' hopes that the media will allow him the privacy to deal properly with his treatment."

Sure he does. I love how his publicist refers to him as the "hunky gardener." No doubt Jess thinks this will catapult him to stardom.

Vivica A. fox had one too many before getting into her car Tuesday night and got busted by the cops. Access Hollywood obtained the police report that said Viv passed a patrol car (you never do that!), while speeding in her Caddy with tinted windows.

Vivica was pulled over and cops thought she seemed a bit tipsy. The gave her a bunch of the dreaded sobriety tests, which she failed. Viv was taken "downtown" where she was given two breathalyzer tests, which "indicated the presence of alcohol greater than the 0.08%, the California legal limit." Luckily, Vivica has an assistant who is paid to come out at all hours of the night to bail her master out of jail.

I was just thinking how funny it would be to be driving down the freeway and see Viv walking the line and trying to recite the alphabet backwards.

That's what we're calling it today, kids. It seems Nicole collapsed, yet again, on the set of the Simple Life last week, after suffering from "dehydration" on March 2nd. Now her rep would like us believe that it's Nic's low blood sugar that is the real culprit.

"In her ongoing effort to focus on her well-being, Nicole has recently been diagnosed with hypoglycemia," her spokesperson tells People in its new issue. "[She] is taking steps to manage it."

I don't know a lot about hypoglycemia, and I'm sure a bunch of you out there do, so enlighten me. Is this valid? Just some more hot air? Could Nicole solve her own problems by eating a sandwich or two? Talk back.

But there is a silver lining: A judge has finally ordered a paternity test for Anna Nicole's six-month-old-daughter.

No word on when the test will be conducted, but at this rate Dannielynn will have posed for Playboy, married a rich guy and visited rehab by the time the results are in.

The latest Jolie-Pitt is on his way to the Big Easy with his new mom. People's new issue (with lots more photos of the cutie) will be on newsstands Friday.

In the week's most embarrassing moment so far, Wilmer Valderamma tried to win back Linday's love by serenading her at a karaoke party Sunday night.

Fez first tried to talk to his former gf, but was quickly blown off. Not one to give up, Wil "grabbed the microphone and said, 'Lindsay, this is for you.'" He proceeded to belt out Matchbox20's Back To Good, and when he was finished, La Lohan yelled,"It's too late!" Ouch.

"Wilmer tried to take it like a man," said a clubgoer. "But he left a few minutes later.”

Well, props to Wilmer for trying. Why he would want to get back with her I have no clue, but as they say, love is blind -- and apparently deaf and dumb as well.

For all of you who defended Pete Doherty after my last entry about his early morning cocktail, chew on this.

According to the Daily News, during an interview with Vogue Hommes International, Petey pulled out a crack pipe, while sitting at the bar of London hotel. "I always stumble back into it sooner or later, even if it's for a half hour a day," he said of his prized possession, made from a miniature Martell Cognac bottle.

Not enough for you? Here's his take on the petty subway crimes and prostitution he had to partake in when he was low on his stash:

"There was no shame, because I kind of knew they were just lonely pissed-up old queens. And 20 quid was a lot of money!"

It's just too easy. Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.

She's done it!

Britney is back on the streets after nearly 30 days in rehab, according to People. Her manager confirms, that Brit "has been released by the Promises Malibu Treatment Center after successfully completing their program." A friend of the starlet said she is "doing fine."

Now let us pray:

Please let Britney be well. Let her go back to her children, her family, her work. Let her reunite with childhood love Justin Timberlake and let them make beautiful music as an all-powerful pop sensation. Please protect her from the evil ways of the Lindsay Lohans and Paris Hiltons of the world. And please, please remind her to cover her cooter when wearing a miniskirt. Amen.

Angie to be a stay-at-home-mom? Not so much.

Hot on the heels of Angelina's declaration that she will stay home and help new son Pax adjust to life in New Orleans with his brothers and sisters, Angie has signed on to star in the upcoming action movie Wanted with Morgan Freeman. The film is slated to begin shooting in May. Pax should be arriving in the U.S. today or tomorrow so, by my calculations, Angie will have been home for just about six weeks.

Quite the dedication to your family, Ang. I'm sure the new flick was an opportunity you just couldn't pass up, much like continuing to add to your family with reckless abandon.

I'm so not a fan.

I'm so psyched for this, as I am one of those old fashioned people who still likes to send a card for every occasion. Now I can send Ellen humor!

Ellen DeGeneres has signed a deal with American Greetings to create a greeting card series featuring the talk show host's wacky sense of humor.

"I look at having a line of cards as another extension of being a host; helping you wish your loved ones well, piggybacking on your birthday greetings," El said in a statement. "I like to be up in the middle of everything, and doing it this way is much easier than crashing parties."

The collection will include 32 different cards, ranging from birthday wishes to thank yous to, my fave, the "no reason" cards. This will, no doubt, be a huge success for Ellen and American Greetings, and is sure to have Hallmark execs needing a sympathy card -- stat!

Good thing David Letterman had someone funny lined up for last night's show.

Dave got hit with a bout of the stomach flu right before yesterday's taping began and Adam Sandler, who was a scheduled guest, filled in for him! Dave pre-taped tonight's show, and is going to be preempted for basketball on Thursday and Friday, so he'll have a few days to rest.

Imagine if it was word-slurring Paula Abdul who had to take over? Disaster averted!

Jan is the self-proclaimed "World's First Supermodel," but I'm thinking she is also the world's original hot mess -- or train wreck. Whichever one better describes a freakazoid lunatic.

Last night, at the Ed Hardy Fashion show, Janice made a scene because her assigned seat wasn't close enough to the media. As usual, Jan did what she wanted, and repositioned herself in the seats of Fern Mallis, the lead organizer of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, and Davis Factor, co-creator of Smashbox Studio. Janice was heard yelling, "I'm not moving for anyone, I don't care who it is," but quickly moved her butt when Mr. Smashbox confronted her.

The wacky attention whore continued to cause a ruckus, insulting Ed Hardy's duds, and claiming a model "broke her toe" backstage, leaving her to soak her foot in an ice bath.

Needless to say "the powers that be" at IMG have asked that JD be left off any future guest lists.

If Janice fell off the face of the earth, never to be heard from again, I would sleep better at night.

I'm sorry but you can't tell me that American Idol's Paula Abdul isn't on something. I'm not faulting the lady -- have at those prescription pills if that's your thing. But don't embarrass yourself by talking to David Letterman about how you've *never ever done drugs* when you are clearly following Anna Nicole Smith's "vitamin" regime.

Just calling a spade a spade.

Out goes Stavros, in swings Josh Henderson (of Desperate Housewives).

I don't want to spend a lot of time on this, because Paris' status fluctuates more than any other person's on the planet, ever, but here it is. The heiress and Stavros are over and she has gotten her hooks into Josh, according to E!.

Apparently Paris did the dumping this time because Stav was just way too possessive.

"He gets jealous, so they argue," the Paris' pal said. "Not sure if it is permanent, but they have not been seeing each other for the past couple of weeks."

So Paris filled her time hanging with Josh on a few occasions this past weekend.

I'm sure there's nothing really to write home about here, and this will be over in a blink of an eye, but it's my duty to inform the public!

You can't really blame Halle for not wanting to walk down the aisle ever again. The girl married some real shmucks in the past.

Even though Hal has been dating that cutie model Gabriel Aubry, and is very happy with him, she's done with making it official.

"I will never, never get married again," the hottie tells April's issue of InStyle. "Actually it's just that now I've come to a place where I think two people can share their lives without the ring, without the piece of paper."

Although marriage may be out of the question, little Berrys are a good possibility.

"I definitely want children. Very much."

But if Halle's going to do it, she's going to do it right. "I want my kids to realize it's only through hard work that any success or real joy comes," she says. "It's not about money; it's the intangible rewards – having integrity and doing what you say you're going to do."

I think she'll be a great mom.

There is not one on the way for Travis and Shanna -- at least for right now.

"While I hope one day to have more children with Travis, I am not pregnant," Shanna told People. "But yes, I'm madly in love with my husband."

The lovahs -- who recently reunited after a very nasty split in 2006 -- partied for Mrs. B's birthday this weekend in Miami, parading their devotion all over the place.

Look, these two are absolutely meant to be. If you've watched their show on MTV, there's nobody else in this world who could possibly love either of them more. Talk about accepting your partner's flaws.

Rock on, Barkers!

Some things just frighten me.

Take this, for example: Kevin Federline has acquired his own internet search engine, called Searching with Kevin.

I swear!

You can even download the toolbar (and his potential viruses!) so you always have Mr. Spears' incomparable searching skills at your fingertips. And every time you use this wonder of wonders you have a chance to win big prizes! Like an invite to Kev's to birthday party!

You're welcome. Do a body shot for me!

"No, David wouldn't be in one of my videos. He's attractive but I'm over all that now. He's far too old for me."

-- Hilary Duff, 19, to AXM magazine, on 31-year-old David Beckham, who, I am sure, is crying himself to sleep every night over this

Jesse Metcalfe, who played Eva Longoria's boy toy on Desperate Housewives, showed some very Hollywood-like, bad behavior this weekend at the Mondrian hotel.

Page Six is reporting that guests saw Jesse "partying for four days straight last week and being really mean to the staff." Then, on Friday, he freaked out when the door man at the Skybar wouldn't let him in. The hotel had enough of him by Saturday, when they wouldn't even give him a room! Love it!

A rep for the Mondrian says Jess isn't banned forever, but I have a feeling he won't be checking in anytime soon.

Class, welcome to the perfect example of low-level stardom going to a very big head.

Tori Spelling is home with her new baby boy, Liam, and she is on cloud nine.

"It's been the most amazing week and experience of my life. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world," Tori writes on her MySpace page. "[Liam] is my little angel baby and I had no idea you could love someone you've only known for four days this much. But my heart is jumping out of my chest with love. Mommihood ROCKS!"

All of a sudden I'm this huge Tori fan. I guess I can relate to loving your kid more than life itself. I'm really happy for her.

Believe me, nobody's more shocked than I am.

No, that's not a typo. It's the name of Tara's new fast food chain.

Okay, stop laughing. The blonde bimbette is really opening a new restaurant in Los Angeles on March 31st.

"You probably won't see me behind the cash register," Tara told In Touch. "But I'll definitely be in the kitchen making sure everything is done right."

How comforting. Apparently Tara thinks because her family owned a tavern in New Jersey she's a catering whiz.

But if you think about it, it's a really smart move on her part. The next time she goes on a bender and publicly humiliates herself so badly that nobody in Hollywood would ever hire her, she can work the drive-thru.

Way to have a back-up plan, T.R.!

I just revisited my breakfast -- and not in a good way.

Uma Thurman and her beau, hotel king Andre Balazs, have called it quits again. The duo had an on-again-off-again relationship for the past three years and sources say they had planned to wed this summer.

Funnily enough, the last time they took a break was just about a year ago to the day. But by last Fall Uma and Andre were seen canoodling again, on beaches and city streets alike.

Maybe March Madness just gets to them.

I love me some Kevin James. Not only do I think he is the cutest cutie in the world, but I find him hilarious. I mean, have you seen Hitch? Not to mention his long-running sitcom where he actually looks like he loves the very tough Leah Remini.

Anyway, I'm happy to report that Kevin and his model wife are expecting their second daughter this summer. "We're very excited," Kev told People Saturday night at Boulevard3 in Hollywood, where The King of Queens celebrated its final wrap after nine seasons (I'm weeping).

"[Steffiana]'s due July 1st. I just love being a dad and spending time with my wife and child, and now we're having another girl. It's incredible."

All hail the King!

Why, why, why?

Why do dysfunctional couples feel the need to reunite and get pregnant thirty seconds later (or vice versa)?

Perez Hilton spotted Travis Barker and his equally crazy wife, Shanna Moakler, making out this past weekend and Shanna supposedly looked "very pregnant."

The ex-playmate did give this statment in early March to reporters at E!'s Paradise City Party at the Playboy Mansion:

"I am single,Travis and I are not together. And I'm not pregnant, either."

Hopefully she is telling the truth and has just been stocking up on the bon-bons. I guess when we see Shanna and Travis toting around a little tatooed bundle we can act surprised and pretend like we believed them all along.

The MTV couple already have a little girl named Alabama, a boy with a mohawk, and Shanna's daughter with boxer Oscar de la Hoya.

I guess watching Paris and Nicole whore it up in a small town just wasn't enough disturbing T.V.

On this season of The Simple Life, which god-willing will be the last, the socialites are going to be camp counselors. The kicker? One of the camps is a fat camp! Though E! is calling it "a wellness camp focused on eating right, yoga, nutrition and exercise," it's basically a fat camp.

That's what those kids need. I wonder what some of the activities will be?

Nicole is quite qualified to school the kids in getting all of their necessary nutrients from one small skim latte per week, while Paris can teach driving like an idiot and the art of video making.

Come on, let's have some fun on this Monday morning. Tell me what other things the girls are qualified to teach these poor, poor kids.

Ah -- how cute.

According to UsMagazine.com, Angelina left the following thank you note at the Vietnamese orphanage where she adopted her hew son Pax:

"Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son. He has been with you for years. I'm sure he will miss your beautiful caring staff as much as you will miss him."

I'm totally Brangelina obsessed again. Hooked!

Is Rachel Bilson hooking up with Hayden Christensen? God, I hope not.

She was seen feeding him (gag) in some new stalkarazzi photos.

Since Rach broke up with her soul mate, Adam Brody, I was wondering who she could possibly find to fill the Seth Cohen void. And this is what she comes up with?

Hayden is such a girlie-man. Hopefully this was just a case of ladies who lunch.

That's what she told the Ho Chi Ming City Law newspaper during an interview about her new son Pax.

"I will stay at home to help Pax adjust to his new life," Angie said. "I have four children and caring for them is the most important thing for me at the moment. I am very proud and happy to be their mother."

As far as the flashbulbs the kiddie is going to face, Angie said: "Photographs and press coverage will make him upset. I'm very worried about that. I would like to say I'm sorry for bringing this into Pax's life."

But photogs be damned. The mom of four says it's way more important that the little fella has a family. "Everyone would agree that children need to have a family. I have the ability to help children fulfill that desire. Why should I say no?"

What do you think? Should Brangelina put the breaks on new adoptions for a while? Should they continue? Talk back.

You have to watch this video from ExtraTV.com. It's freakin' hilarious.

I'm one of those people who can't help but laugh when I see someone fall (as long as it's not the elderly), because I have been known to take a tumble every now and then myself. One of these days I'll tell you the story of how I was running to my friend's car (so I could sit shotgun, of course) and wiped out in the middle of a very busy Brooklyn street. But, I digress.

Carmen Electra was walking the runway at the Clothes Off Our Back charity event Wednesday night when she completely ate it on the runway. To top it all off, Days of Our Lives star Alison Sweeney tried to help Carmen up and then she wiped out! The gasps from the crowd are just too much.

Seriously, if you need a good laugh, this one is great. I can get hysterical just thinking about it.

This one's for Suzy and her big sis.

Our favorite resident crack head was seen yesterday on a shopping spree with his glutton-for-punishment girlfriend, Kate Moss. All fine and good, right? Yeah, expect for the fact that Pete was toting around an open bottle of wine that he was swigging from.

Not impressed? Here's the kicker -- it was 9 in the morning!

In Pete's defense, I'm sure he had not gone to sleep yet, so he was really just partying very late from the night before. I mean, you know how stubborn those stoned penguins can be -- they just never want to go home!

No, Madge didn't have her thrown into the Hudson river with cement shoes -- but something did stop Crown Publishing from going ahead with her former nanny's juicy tell-all.

Apparently Madge's lawyers put the pressure on Crown -- big time -- but nobody's talking specifics.

The ex-nanny "had very little already on paper ... it was very much a work in progress" when Crown pulled the plug, the Daily News reported. The paper is saying that the publishing company may have had second thoughts because the book was likely to take longer to complete than originally expected, especially with all the legal mumbo-jumbo.

I'm not buying it. That would have been one huge best-seller. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone is brave enough to get that baby published.

.

There was a rumor running rampant yesterday that '80's comic Sinbad had died. Well, Access Hollywood has confirmed that he didn't.

We can all breathe easy now.

What a baby!

Heather is pissing off British cops by incessantly calling their emergency number for help from the paparazzi.

Um, what? Get a grip, lady! In an age of war and terrorism , how 'bout you leave that line open for people who have real emergencies.

Heather's rep, Phil Hall, told Page Six, the police are not annoyed at her and she's just protecting herself from potentially dangerous situations.

Chief Superintendent Kevin Moore told reporters, "Clearly, people who make lots of calls to the police run the risk of being treated as the little boy who cried wolf."

Sounds like he's annoyed to me.

And if she thinks she's being harassed now, wait until Dancing With the Stars premieres on Monday. Then she'll really have something to cry about.

It's amazing that all Reese Witherspoon needed to do to become super-hot and huge was break up with Ryan.

Check her out on the cover of April's Harper's Bazaar -- she is the epitome of pretty!

Reese dishes on her new look, the horrid "pink phase" she went through, her friends, how much she loves her kids, and how she partied it up for her 30th birthday. Okay, she spent it "playing Boggle and eating fried chicken" -- but I bet she looked hot doing it!

Well, here's a thought, courtesy of my multitalented coworker Kim: Britney looks like Bat Boy with that turtle waxed head.

The formerly-hot O.C. star been replaced as spokesperson for Bebe. Her successor? Eva Longoria.

The Desperate Housewives star was named the new spokeswoman for the clothier and they had some big ta-dah for her at a party at the Mondrian Hotel last night. And though I could live for a very long time without Eva getting anymore press (can we say overexposure?), I love the fact that Mischa is such a loser.

Downward spiral -- here she comes!

The other night Mish was puking her guts up all over the place after having one too many cocktails and now this! It's just too good, I tell you!

Lindsey and I were just discussing Angelina Jolie's new Vietnamese son because -- let's face it -- all we do is talk about celebrity gobbledegook all day.

Last night when word first broke that Angie had taken custody of the boy, UsMagazine.com reported that his name is Pak. Cute, I thought. Dig it. Fast forward to today when People.com gets confirmation that Angie has the boy... but that his name is Pax.

Suddenly, I'm not so happy and here's why: Every day for the last two weeks Lindsey and I have been going across the street from our office to Pax for lunch. Make your own salads in fact. So Angie's cute new son shares the name of our salad place?

Tres distressing... though much better than McDonalds Jolie-Pitt, Cafe Metro Jolie-Pitt or Pret a Manger Jolie-Pitt for sure.

How freakin' gorgeous does Naomi Watts look on the cover of the March issue of Harper's Bazaar UK?

Like it's not bad enough that she's carrying Liev Shreiber's kid, I bet she'll be one of those women who carries all in her belly, like she swallowed basketball. And I'm sure she'll be without all the other awful repercussions like all-night heartburn, a face that spreads faster than hot butter on toast, and swollen Fred Flintstone feet.

Yet, somehow, I still manage to like her.

I guess every actor wants to say they've acted on Broadway.

There's been talk that Scarlett Johansson is being sought after by South Pacific producers. They want the sex-pot to star as the lead in their revival.

And now with the buzz that Jen Aniston might be moving back to NYC, there seems to be some interest on her part to hit The Great White Way. Jen performed for one night in The 24 Hour Plays last October and was bitten by the bug.

I think Jen should do Friends on Broadway. I would so see that.

Check out these photos of Reese's soon-to-be-ex sticking it to the paparazzi.

Terrence Howard has recently been linked to Naomi Campbell, and it was baffling. I couldn't help but wonder why such a talented, gorgeous guy would hang with a such a psycho? Now it seems a little light has been shed on the mystery.

In an interview with Essence magazine, Terrence reveals that he tried to date some of Hollywood's much hotter leading ladies, but had no luck!

"I tried to talk to Halle [Berry] for a bit," he said. "Didn't call me back. Tried to talk to Gabrielle Union. Didn't call me back, either."

Halle is in a serious relationship, so I can see that, but I'm pretty sure Gabby is single. What's up with that? And that's all he's got? Call Reese or Jen Aniston - both a lot less crazy than Sanitation Naomi.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he is still really hung up on his estranged wife, Lori. "The only woman I really love is my wife," he said.

Come on, Lor. Give him another chance -- and save him from the viper!

You can take the "bf" to mean "best friend" or "boyfriend." I'll give you the story, you make the call.

In an interview with TMZ, Jason Filyaw, a 33-year-old lead guitarist for the rock band RIVA, says he met Brit way before she lost her mind and her hair. Apparently they go "way back" to 2003, when he recorded some music with starlet at The Hit Factory in New York. They stayed in touch, but "a few weeks ago ... we met up again at a Los Angeles AA meeting."

The rocker admits he and Brit "have grown very close" since he started to attending AA meetings with her. And it seems the dude is one smitten kitten. Though he won't confirm or deny if he and Britney are actually dating, he is wearing his heart on his sleeve.

"I love her, I support her 100% and we are close," he gushed.

Jason, a self-proclaimed spiritualist, said he is helping Brit get in touch with her inner most feelings to aid in her recovery.

Okay, there it is. Are they getting it on or what? Sadly, my Spidey-sense screams "Yes!"

According to Us Weekly, Angelina successfully completed the adoption process for her new addition. The actress and her son Maddox, 5, picked up the 3-year-old boy at the Tam Binh orphanage in the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam at 9am local time. He's been residing there since 2003.

What's the little fella's name? Pham Quang Sang... though he will be renamed Pax Thien Jolie. Then, when he's back in the US and Brad officially adopts him, it will be Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

So don't expect to see Pak Pitt on U.S. soil just yet. Angelina has to stay in Vietnam for a couple days, where she will meet with U.S. officials who will review the adoption and issue Pax a passport. If all goes well, Angie could bring the boy home by the weekend.

According to local reporters, Pax is healthy, friendly and a bit shy. He also loves to play soccer.

Well, he'll have plenty of playmates back at home with Maddox, Zahara, 2, and little Shiloh, 10 months.

Tyra -- over here! Tyraaaaa!! Will you pose for a photo?

Last year -- when I was there with TV Cocktail's Sarah Mac (pictured) -- I got a great shot of Kate Walsh from Grey's Anatomy. She was late to the show and had to rush inside before the telecast began. But before she did, she turned, paused for a nanosecond and posed for me. I was tres psyched. Yay, Addison!

The 2007 Daytime Emmy nominations were announced earlier today. Check 'em out after the jump.

The show has been pushed back this year -- so look for it to air live from the Kodak Theater on June 15 on CBS.

Either she's expecting... or she's playing it up to make the public think she is. But what do you think?

The announcement should be coming any day, but for now here is the latest from Demi's publicist:

"If or when Demi is pregnant, she and her husband will decide if that extremely private information should be made public."

In another obvious act, the media has been warned not to dig into Ashton's beeswax at the press conference he will be holding for his new upcoming show, The Real Wedding Crashers. An email that was sent out said the following:

"Questions will be taken from in-person journalists as well as from press on the phone "Please do not ask Ashton Kutcher any 'personal' questions."

So discreet.

Kate has two new movies this month -- Shooter (with Marky Mark) and Full of It -- and she's also got her very own Gap ad (above) that's on the back of all the celebrity weeklies at this moment. Later this year she'll be showing off her acting chops once again in Transsiberian, with Sir Ben Kingsley and Woody Harrelson.

So keep your eye on this chickadee -- whose famous family owns both the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Steelers -- you'll be seeing a lot more of her.

I must say that I like reading these train wreck stories though. I feel way better about the state of affairs in "Suzy Land" when Britney is trying to impale strangers with a golf umbrella. Maybe to kick things up, I'll try some of her action heroine moves on the next rainy day with my Totes... though carrying an umbrella in Manhattan is dangerous enough (a zillion spokes coming at cha!) without simultaneously swinging it Jackie Chan style.

Back to the crazies, we have a new slide show on Celebrity Meltdowns that I think you'll like. Lots of fun photos of celebrities foaming at the mouth and such. Nothing better.

Fergie leaves her wedgie-picking boyfriend for one minute and gets into trouble.

Fergielicious was trying to board a Virgin Atlantic flight from Los Angeles to Britain, when airline staff deemed her too drunk to fly. The Daily Mirror says witnesses saw the Black Eyed Peas singer slurring her words and stumbling. "She was falling all over the place and had to be supported. She was in no state to fly."

But when officials tried to prevent her from boarding, she flipped. "She was drunkenly ranting at staff but could barely string a sentence together. It was very embarrassing."

Fergs had to catch another flight, while her band buddies stayed on board the original.

I hope this is on the next episode of Airline.

Here's a taste:

"I've slept with too many women, done too many drugs and been to too many parties. I loved acid when I was at college. It was an escape. I liked mushrooms. They were like easy acid. I did like blow…Blow would dress you up for a party, but never take you there. You’re always like, This is going to be great! Then you’re just depressed.”

-- George Clooney, in 1997

Check out this item in today's Daily News highlighting a conversation the paper had with Paris' parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton:

"We know why Paris Hilton grew up to be Hollywood's wild child - her dad's a big softie. "I was stricter with the boys, I think," Rick Hilton told us at the Women's Project Gala at the Rainbow Room Monday. "I probably spoil my girls more." So does Mom crack the whip? "You play good cop, bad cop," Kathy Hilton told us, "but usually we try to agree. And now [Paris and Nicky] are over 21. They're 26 and 23." So what's the best parental advice? Says Daddy Hilton, "Know who you're getting involved with."

Seriously? They said that?

I think I'll rip this page out and file it among my Hilton collection. Let me see now, Paris' porn video? Check. Bouquet from Nicky's quickie Vegas wedding? Check. Nicky's annulment papers? Check. Picture of a va-ja-ja flashing Paris. Check. Paris' rap sheet, highlighting her last 7 arrests? Check. Article where Rick and Kathy must have been on crack? Check.

Perfect!

Well, she's getting ready.

Cindy Adams is reporting that Jess is feeling pangs of jealousy from the recent boom of Hollywood ladies and their bitties.

And though we're sure her bf, John Mayer, would love to procreate with her (um, no), Jess has said that she will look into adoption when she is sure she wants to take the next step. Apparently taking care of her dogs has sent her mommy gene into a frenzy.

Does this worry anyone else? A few years a go the girl didn't know what tuna fish was.

Mark my words -- Mischa Barton will board the rehab train before the summer's end.

Obviously learning nothing from her recently rehabilitated sister, Mish went out partying the other night in SoHo and got so wasted that she ran out of Anchor Bar and puked on the shoes of some smokers hanging outside. She missed The Soprano's Jamie Lynn by thatmuch.

You would think that would be enough embarrassment for one night, but nope. The washed-up O.C. babe, who witnesses said was "emotional", went back in to the club for some more refreshments.

Stellar example for her baby sister. Maybe they can get a rehab family discount.

Yesterday we told you that Sex and the City alum Sarah Jessica Parker was getting her own clothing line, adorably named Bitten. There was a ton of speculation if we were going to need to sell our first born children to purchase a pair of panties from said brand. Well, Page Six has gotten some details, on the down-low, that Sarah will sell her line to chain Steven & Barry's.

S&B's is a low-priced chain! Yay! The line will include jeans, lingerie, casual wear and accessories priced from $7.98 to $14.98.

From all of us middle class chicks, SJP, you rock!

Now if she could just find a way to get us those Manolo's for $15...

I'm always scared when a person who does one thing really, really well tries to take on something new.

Christina Aguilera will guest star on an upcoming episode of her favorite show, CSI: New York.

Executive producer Anthony Zuiker says, "Christina's a fan of the show, and we're excited to have her. The episode will probably explore the topic of battered women."

Christina has been an avid campaigner against domestic violence after revealing her father physically abused her mother during her childhood.

I hope she's good -- I hate when shows compromise themselves just to get a big name (think K-Fed 's stretch as a thug on CSI).

Tori Spelling gave birth to her first child earlier today in Los Angeles. The little guy weighed in at 6lbs., 6oz.

"They're all really happy and everybody's resting now," their rep told People. "Tori and the baby are healthy."

The baby's middle name is obviously a tribute to Tori's late father, TV producer Aaron Spelling, who died in June.

The big baby shocker is the fact that Tori's estranged mom -- Candy -- visited with her daughter at the hospital after Tori gave birth. Mother and daughter haven't been talking for over a year.

Access Hollywood caught up with Tori's brother, Randy, who gave the scoop on the reconciliation.

"They've been communicating back and forth," Randy revealed. "I know my mom is there with her right now. She's been with her all morning... I think when you're family, you have your ups and downs, but hopefully you all come back together. And I'm sure the baby just makes that happen quicker."

Happy times... at least for a day.

Extra is reporting that Tori and Dean showed up at Cedars-Sinai hospital this morning, with an about-to-bust Tori in labor!

We'll keep you posted!

My whole life it's been all about the nicknames. My mom came up with my given name, Suzanne, but nobody ever calls me that... except teachers and customer service reps at utility companies. Hi Suzanne, this is Cablevision... We're sending someone out to investigate the problem.

My mom was actually pretty disappointed that I was never known as Suzanne ("It's such a beautiful name," she sighs... regularly), but my sisters and dad came up with lots of nicknames for me -- Suzy, Sue, Suey, Suz -- and they stuck. And while I love the name Suzanne -- and secretly wish that was the name I went by -- it just doesn't feel like "me." It feels fancy -- and I'm pretty much a no frills girl. (Note the "pretty much" part.) In fact, anytime someone calls me Suzanne I cringe a little... flashbacks to the first day of school when the teacher would go over the class list and I would shyly interrupt to request that they call me Suzy instead.

Celebrities are all about the nicknames as well -- and not just abbreviations of names... though there are those too. (Cameron = Cami, Beyonce = Bee, Sandra = Sandy, etc.) Did you know that Johnny Depp nicknamed himself Mr. Stench? And which Hollywood heartthrob -- who I don't think is all that, btw -- is called the Butterscotch Stallion for his habits in bed?

In this week's Daily Blabber video, I'm blabbing about celebrity nicknames of course. So check it out, then tell me what you think.

E! is reporting that Sarah Jessica Parker is launching a new fashion line called Bitten.

No details of the upcoming couture were released, but that's a cute name, no?

"I would like to find somebody, but there's a real lack of men in London. British boys can be a bit wimpy and a bit girlie. I don't want a guy who spends more time on his hair than I do."

--Kelly Osbourne to London's Sunday Times

It was a messy experience for Rocky, who insisted at the time that it was all a big misunderstanding.

Okay, whatever. This will all be swept under the rug eventually, as the maximum fine Sly will pay is $22,000.

Pocket change for the suped-up star.

You know Danny Glover, right? He's the other guy from the Lethal Weapon movies.

Anyway, he was pissed yesterday when a Daily News photographer tried to take his photo while he was leaving a Brooklyn courthouse.

So pissed, in fact, that he clocked the guy in the jaw and scared the pants off of on-lookers.

According to the photographer, Danny growled, "What gives you the right to come out here and photographer me and have your camera up in my face?" Then he punched him in the face!

He said he wasn't going to press charges. I'm not sure why, since a courthouse employee saw the whole thing and said the photog did nothing to provoke the nut.

The actor's lawyer blamed the shutterbug for "creating an incident. The photographer tried to prevent him from leaving. [Danny] was able to brush him away to get out."

And by "brush" he means pummel.

This is a goodie.

Former American Idol finalist Mario Vasquez is facing accusations that he tried to masturbate in front of a male employee in a bathroom on the set of the show in February 2005.

Suspiciously soon after, Mario dropped out of the competiton, citing personal reasons.

According to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Mario allegedly "sexually harassed" Magdaleno Olmos, assistant accountant for Fremantle Media, the company that produces American Idol.

In the lawsuit, Olmos claims "[Mario] stared lasciviously, smiled lasciviously ... and on one occasion followed him into a bathroom ... knocked on the door of the plaintiff's stall and made eye contact through the space in the stall door."

There's a whole list of other dirty details of the incident but, of course, nobody has any comment. Don't you love that? Because if it wasn't true, wouldn't you at least try and deny it?

I'm going to have to side with the employee on this one. I watched that season of Idol and Mario was a front-runner. It was extremely surprising when he dropped out. I say guilty with a capital "G".

Now, let's take a poll. When you read the title of this entry, who thought Paula did something ridiculous? Come on, raise your hands.

Ever since TV mogul Aaron Spelling's death, his family has just fallen apart. Tori, her brother Randy, and their mother Candy have been on the outs, stemming mostly from Tori's now-defunct VH1 sitcom NoTORIous, and worsening since her father's passing.

But now that Tori and her hubby, Dean McDermott, are about to welcome a baby boy, Candy wants to take a dip in the grandmother pool. "We have been in touch with each other and are in the process of communicating and working things out," Tor's mama told People.

Randy is optimistic about them all being one happy family again. "My sister and my mom have been communicating for the past few weeks – and are planning to see each other soon. They are going to be there for each other and [Tori's soon-to-arrive] baby. My mom is having a grandchild, and it puts things into perspective."

Tori painted a not-so-nice picture of her mom on that show. To be honest, she made her look like the coldest fish in the universe. And I don't know how happy I would be about it either, but if the shoe fits...

And the honor of spinning the Sno-Go wheel and hanging out with Gelman goes to...

Silver-haired fox Anderson Cooper!

Well, that's just for Tuesday and Wednesday. MTV hottie Damien Fahey will cohost with Kelly on Thursday and Friday.

Others on tap to sit in for Reege:
Pat Sajak (my fave)
Neil Patrick Harris (angels singing)
Donald Trump (gag! choke! barf!)
Jeff Probst ("The tribe has spoken")
Martin Short ("I must say")
Howie Mandel (It is the year of the bald man, you know)

Who do you want to see?

The Sopranos star Edie Falco and her son, Anderson, hit a Mardi Gras party at F.A.O. Schwarz in NYC on Saturday. I'm not a "huggy squeezy other people's kids" type, but this little boy is pretty hard to resist.

For more celebrity kiddie pics, check out Star Snapshots.

They just can't stay apart, which I find, in a sick, sick way, sort of romantic.

Pam Anderson and on-again-off-again love, Tommy Lee, were seen lunching in Santa Monica this week with their two sons, Brandon and Dylan (Pam was obviously a 90210 lover). The sweet little family reunion at the Ivy was topped off by a hot and sexy smooch between the parents.

There's no official word if Pam and Tommy are back together, but are they ever really apart. Even when Pam was married to Kid Rock (for four whole months) there was never a doubt in my mind that Tommy would be strolling back into the picture.

What can you do? He had her at hello.

The chair next to Kelly Ripa will be more like a revolving door in the near future.

Regis Philbin announced today that he needs to undergo a triple bypass heart surgery later this week. The co-host of Live with Regis and Kelly said that he had undergone several tests with different doctors and that the consensus was "there's some plaque in some arteries and I've got to get it cleaned out."

His recovery time is indefinite and experts say his age could play a factor in how long he is out. I think it will be weird without him. Reege, who has been around for what seems like forever, is 75.

So who's going to be hanging with Kelly every morning while we drink our coffee? Probably her hubby, Mark Consuelos, maybe a little Pat Sajak (who I think is great whenever he fills in for Regis), and a number of other ABC stars, I'm sure. Luckily for Live, Kelly could have chemistry with a doorknob.

The first is Angelina Jolie talking to Newsweek about being superfamous, saving the world and her new life in New Orleans. I can't resist a good Angie interview... even if it is all about refugees and stuff.

Even better, Kate Moss finally gave an interview (she never, ever does them) to British Vogue -- it's timed with the release of her clothing line at the UK store Topshop. Here are some highlights of the interview in which she talks about her four-year-old daughter, her baby daddy Jefferson Hack and current beau crackhead Pete Doherty:

On becoming a mom: "I felt like, now I've got a partner in crime. I'm never going to have to be on my own again."

On who Lila resembles: "She's a Mini-Me. I think she looks like her dad (Jefferson Hack), but there are some bits of me. Pete said the other day, 'Jefferson really looks like you, I'm thinking of asking him out.' "

On her daughter being a fashionista: "She comes in at bedtime and says, 'Mummy, do you think this is a good look?' and then she has a fashion crisis. I say, 'You will wear what I tell you,' but she says she's the adult of the bedroom. Now we lay the clothes out before she goes to bed but then she goes, 'Mum, I need options.' When we were doing Versace [the recent ad campaign], we all had kids and they came along, like Christy [Turlington]'s little baby and Carolyn [Murphy]'s little boy, and Lila and Donatella struck up a friendship. They put a weave in her hair and she had this long blonde hair down to her waist, and she was going like" – Moss tosses her hair back, vamp-style – "and I was like, oh ... my ... god."

On what Lila said upon meeting Brit princesses Beatrice and Eugenie: "'How come if you are princesses you don't have tiaras and a pink dress?'"

Dada dum, dum, dum
Another one bites the dust
And another one's gone
And another one's gone
Another one bites the dust

Mandy Moore had her fun and is now through with D.J. AM.

Thank God that's over -- now she can get a real man.

Britney Entry #3

So, Isaac Cohen, who dated Britney for like a second and then completely sold his soul to the devil by revealing all kinds of really personal details about her, told People that he wants her to know one thing:

"You and your family are in my prayers."

I'll handle this one, Brit.

SCREW YOU, Isaac.

It's so sad when I have to talk about Britney twice in one sitting.

The newest news, per Rush and Malloy, is that there is video of that fated night when Brit switched clothes with strippers in NYC. I'm talking video of her actually changing into that awful bikini-type outfit and, to make matters worse, the girls were said to be doing "some serious partying" in that back room.

A rep for the club said that there weren't any cameras in the area behind the coat check where Brit and her new friends went to change into fishnets and bikinis. But a spy insisted, "Yes there are. There's a camera above the office back there that can see that whole room."

And you can bet the paparazzi agencies will pay big bucks for that. If it does exist, I guarantee you'll be seeing it in minutes.

Unless you are living under a rock you know Eva Longoria is marrying San Antonio spurs sexy Tony Parker this summer. Well, Eva told April's issue of Cosmopolitan that she has certain rules that she and her future hubby will abide by.

"We never go to bed angry, which sometimes frustrates Tony because he'll be like 'Please. I have a game tomorrow. I need sleep,' " she says. "Another rule we have is that nobody is ever right. I don't need to be right. I just want to be understood. The same goes for him," she adds.

The Desperate Housewife is also apparently allowed to have male friends. "I get so much crap for having friends like Jamie Foxx and Mario Lopez, who are like brothers to me. It's difficult when you're in an insecure relationship or if your partner doesn't know where he stands with you. That's not how it is with [Tony and me]."

Sounds suspiciously like a very healthy relationship.

Various sources are buzzing that Demi and Ashton are expecting.

I know, I know. We've heard it all before, but this time lots of people are talking about a bump for the marrieds.

Just for fun let's speculate on what they'll name the kid. Remember: Demi already has Scout, Rumor, and Tullulah -- so don't guess those.

I'm going to go with Punky for either gender. Now you go.

That's what Perez Hilton is reporting this morning.

Sources are saying that Lindsay Lohan and Jude Law met up at new NYC lounge The Box, and hung out for over two hours. "Lindsay is obsessed with Jude," said a friend of the teen queen.

I smell a feud a-brewing between Sienna Miller and Lindsay!

Linds partied with her posse until early morning before heading out. Part of said group was her mom, Dina.

Does anyone else find that wrong? Why is this girl's mother going clubbing with her until five in the morning, when Lindsay is fresh out of rehab. And doesn't she have a younger sister who needs looking out for?

It's just a matter of time for that little one.

We might be seeing a divorce for Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony before we see a baby.

Page Six is reporting that there is trouble in paradise for the Latin lovers. Though the singers are always looking like they are about to break in to a ballad when they are together, insiders are saying there's more than meets the eye there.

"There was a fight after she performed at the Super Bowl, and when she had an album-listening party in Miami two months ago, there was an issue." According to this source, Lopez stood up and talked about her upcoming album and said, "This is my dream and Marc and I worked so hard on this album . . . Marc, would you like to say something?" Her hubby's response? "No," and looked away.

It seems Marc wants to add another baby to his existing four children, but Jen is still so focused on her career.
He is also talking about hopping on the Scientology train. But a friend of both said, "They fight, sure, but everyone fights." A rep for La Lopez said, "They're fine."

That's code for "they hate each other."

Britney has confessed to rehab staff that she has been suffering from bulimia since she was sixteen. According to the UK's The Daily Mirror, Britney’s nine-year nightmare was outed in an "American magazine" and was confirmed by a senior source at Promises.

“Doctors are alarmed at the physical state she is in,” said the source. “They confronted her about her desperately unhealthy lifestyle and the truth came pouring out.” Brit reportedly stopped the damaging cycle while pregnant with both her boys, but reverted back to her old ways to get the baby weight off.

Britney's now being treated by a nutritionist for the eating disorder, as well as for her alleged drug and alcohol abuse.

I'm not surprised. When you're a young girl, and the whole world is looking at you, weight is always on your mind. I don't know any woman who isn't always trying to lose at least five pounds at all times. Imagine if people were following you all day, every day, taking your picture, and commenting on your body 24/7.

I'll say it again. I feel for Brit. I wish her well.

Beat those demons Brit and come back and kick ass!

Because it's Friday, and I'm a little bored, how about a round of Would You Rather? Here's today's installment:

Would you rather party with Lindsay Lohan at an L.A. hotspot or spend a day with McDreamy on the set of Grey's Anatomy?

Personally, I'd way rather spend a night out clubbing with Lindsay "I Look Like My Mom" Lohan, but Suzy is all about the Grey's Anatomy set visit. Which would you choose?

Keith Urban is bitter when people refer to him as "Nicole Kidman's husband."

According WENN, Keith gets "extremely hurt" when the media talks about him in terms of his marriage or his recent addiction problems. The country star believes he is just that -- a star in his own right.

Well excuuuuuse us.

Hey, Mr. Kidman: Don't marry someone more famous than you, stay off the sauce and you won't have any problems.

Since Katie Holmes dropped off the face of the earth and has committed herself to a life of wackjobs, Maggie Gyllenhaal will step right in, thank you.

According to Access Hollywood, Mags is in the final talks with Batman producers to replace Kat -- who dropped out in January -- in the next installment, The Dark Knight. If Maggie signs on the dotted line, it will be her most commercial role to date -- Jake's sis is known for her long resume of indie movies.

Katie's loss is Maggie's gain. She will star as Rachel Dawes, opposite hottie Christian Bale and cool list of others, including Heath Ledger and Aaron Eckhart.

You did it to yourself, Kitty.

One of Madonna's former nannies is reportedly shopping a juicy book about Madge and her family.

The former caretaker, Melissa Dumas, has hired a literary agent and is sending out a book proposal, which includes a copy of an unsigned nondisclosure agreement that she claims Madonna issued to her only after she had already resigned as her nanny.

The piece supposedly includes steamy details into Madonna's marriage to Guy, her parenting ways, kaballah talk, and much more.

The part that will make the material girl the most mad? The nanny will include personal photos of the family.

Madonna's about to give somebody a smack down. That's for damn sure.

Really! We swear!

Pregnant I can see, but engaged? Who knew she had a boyfriend?

Sexy Salma and her businessman fiance, Francois-Henri Pinault, are having a bambino, say her PR person. This guy is the CEO of PPR, the world's third largest luxury conglomerate. They own Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent, and whole bunch of other huge money makers.

Well, triple congrats to Salma on her engagement, the tot, and all that cash!

Curious photos have popped up of Liz Hurley looking a little swollen in the belly area.

Liz got married this past weekend and these pics look as if she might be adding yet another member to her family.

It is absolutely possible that she justed fasted for the days before her wedding and now is totally pigging out. That's what all brides do, isn't it?

By the power vested in me, I deem 2007 the Year of Rehab.

Eddie Van Halen is latest victim of the fad burning up Hollywood. The Van Halen reunion tour is on hold indefinitely and it seems to be all Ed's fault.

He just released this statement:

" I would like Van Halen fans to know how much I truly appreciate each and every one of you. Without you there is no Van Halen.

I have always and will always feel a responsibility to give you my best. At the moment I do not feel that I can give you my best. That's why I have decided to enter a rehabilitation facility to work on myself, so that in the future I can deliver the 110% that I feel I owe you and want to give you.

Some of the issues surrounding the 2007 Van Halen tour are within my ability to change and some are not. As far as my rehab is concerned, it is within my ability to change and change for the better. I want you to know that is exactly what I'm doing, so that I may continue to give you the very best I am capable of.

I look forward to seeing you in the future better than ever and
I thank you with all my heart."

Say "hi" to Brit for us.

The day after Anna Nicole Smith died, I heard a really bad rumor -- that Daniel fathered Dannielynn. The story was that Anna knew the paternity test was going to expose that her son fathered her daughter (ick!), so she killed herself instead.

It was a horrible rumor and the lady just died, so I filed it away and pretty much forgot about it... till today when I saw this headline on Gawker.com:

Was Daniel Really Dannielynn's Daddy?

Now I don't have any answers for you on this one. But, damn, is that an interesting theory or what? Sick, but interesting.

Whenever I see them together I can't help but think they're one staged public canoodling session away from calling the whole thing off.

But y'all know I can be Little Miss Cynical. So what do you think?

As Trace told you earlier, Johnny Depp's seven-year-old daughter, Lily Rose, is ill and has been hospitalized for at least a week. But, according to the actor's rep, the girl has taken a turn for the better.

"We are happy to report that their daughter is doing much better," Johnny's rep said in a statement. "The family greatly appreciates the continued support and respect of their privacy."

So keep up sending those good wishes -- they seem to be working!

Someone needs to tell Tom Brady to wrap that rascal!

According to the rumor mill, the New England Patriots QB may have two babies on the way. Not sure how true this is -- I'm pretty skeptical -- but rumor has it that his new girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, is also pregnant with his child. Two months along. She's supposedly told friends and family.

As you already know, Tom's last girlfriend, actress Bridget Moynahan, is about four months pregnant with his kid. Tom and Bridget broke up in December and he took up with the supermodel shortly after.

Methinks one of the big condom companies needs to sign the NFLer. Maybe a $5 million dollar endorsement deal with Trojan -- and a free supply of condoms -- will get the guy to finally try using protection. Or not.

There's a big story circulating right now that Winona Ryder overdosed on sleeping pills and died. None of the big news sites are reporting it, so assume it's just a bad rumor like Will Ferrell "dying" in a paragliding accident or Tom Hanks "kicking it" while making a movie in New Zealand.

As in -- I don't think this is Anna Nicole real, but we shall see.

Blues Traveler's John Popper and musician Brian Gourgeois were arrested yesterday for possession of pot, after being pulled over at a traffic stop in Washington State. E! is reporting that Popper, who was the passenger, and his pal were clocked doing over 100 miles an hour on I 90.

Cops caught the sweet smell of the ganja and searched the car with police dogs. The pup turned up quite the interesting plethora of goodies; marijuana, a marijuana pipe, four rifles, nine handguns and a switchblade, to be exact.

The state patrol seized the Mercedes, which was registered to Johnny, but not before uncovering a Taser and night-vision goggles, as well. The vehicle was also equipped with a siren, emergency headlights and a public address system, the WSP said.

"Popper indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because [in the event of a natural disaster] he didn't want to be left behind" and told the arresting officers that he collected weapons, the WSP said in a news release.

Note to John Popper's friends: If you're going to smoke up with the dude, wear a bullet-proof vest. And do not eat the last Devil Dog.

This is so sad.

Johnny Depp's daughter, Lily Rose, 7, is seriously ill, and currently in a hospital in Britain, reports The Mirror.

A source says Johnny and long-time girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, have barely left the little girl's side since she was admited nine days ago. "It is such a difficult time for him but he is hanging in there for the sake of his daughter and the whole family is just praying that she gets better. They are taking each day as it comes."

The British paper declined to reveal what Lily Rose's ailments are and where she is being treated, out of respect for the family.

Let's all think good thoughts for them.

Check out Hilary Duff's new video for her song "Dignity".

Access Hollywood is reporting that the pop star is singing about former boyfriend Joel Madden and his new squeeze, Nicole Richie. According to an online report, the song includes lyrics such as:

"Where's your dignity? I think you lost it in the Hollywood Hills…Can't buy respect but you can pick up that bill…Always with Mr. Right, but then you have a fight / Run into your friend's ex, he's happy to be your next / Tomorrow's paper's coming out so kiss him fast, watch the cameras flash."

I love these sing-off battles. It reminds of break dancing battles on the street corners back in the day. I can't wait for Joel to retaliate on Good Charlotte's next album.

I don't know what to tell you, friends.

Lance Bass has gotten a book deal. He will be writing his autobiography. According to People.com, the former boy bander plans to reveal "all about his life, his music and his sexuality" in a memoir, titled Out of Sync.

Clever, huh?

In it, Lance will tell readers about his childhood in small-town Mississippi, his experiences as a member of *N Sync (which started with a phone call from Justin Timberlake when Lance was 16), and, in 2002, his four months in Russia training to be a cosmonaut on a space mission.

Sounds like quite the page-turner. The book will be out in October.

Hot on the heels of reports that Ryan Phillippe was macking on Ashlee Simpson, word on the street is that Ry's ex, Reese Witherspoon, has been indulging in some extracuricular activities with Jake Gyllenhaal, reports OK!

Reese and Jake were both in NYC last week and the newly made over actress reportedly visited Jake’s Greenwich Village penthouse. The next day, the Zodiac star stopped by Reese's hotel.

Could it be love? I know people drool over Jake G., but he does nothing for me. And with the way Reese has been looking lately, she can get someone super hot. Or maybe they're just drumming up press for their new movie, Rendition. We shall see.

I love Timbaland .

For those who don't know of him, he's the cutie music producer who did "Sexy Back" with Justin Timberlake and "Promiscuous Girl" with Nelly Furtado and a bunch other goodies.

Well, Timmy told Enterainment Weekly that he wants to work with Britney -- and Justin wants to help, too!

"I asked Justin, 'How would you feel about me working with Britney?' I had to ask him that. I said, 'Would you do it with me?'" Timbaland told EW. Justin's reply: "She's gotta be serious."

Good enough! My dreams of the Mickey Mouse Club romance ressurection is beginning to come together!

Why is Tim so interrested in the troubled mom? "I'm the type of person who tries to save the world. I just want to take her away, go overseas, and work (it) out," he revealed. "I just want to hold her hand. I want her to be in my camp, to be around Justin. I need Justin to talk to her. Help her, please!"

I think I just fell in love with him.

Thanks to the folks at UsMagazine.com for causing me to toss my half-eaten salad into the trash.

They posted a photo of Josh Duhamel picking his girlfriend Fergie's wedgie.

On the plus side, the girl has a nice tush... she just needs to work on that whole wetting herself problem.

While Rosie O'Donnell and the women of The View continue to generate major buzz, Star Jones has been banished to the world of cable television.

The former View cohost -- who practiced law before becoming a talking head -- has finally gotten herself a job. She will host a daily show on Court TV that is expected to launch this summer. The show will connect the worlds of "law, politics and entertainment."

Sounds thrilling.

I'm going to go home tonight and try to program my DVR in advance. Or not. The truth is, I'll take big mouth Rosie over Star any day of the week. She tells it like it is... and isn't trying to fill her purse with as many freebies as she can.

According to reports, Zach Braff has been putting the moves on some of Hollywood's biggest stars... and the Scrubs star keeps getting rejected! He is said to have pursued Jessica Simpson last summer (she didn't like him), Drew Barrymore in early February (she considers him a friend) and Jennifer Aniston at an Oscar party (she blew him off). Which brings me to this very important question:

I just picked up the new Us and one of the headlines caught my eye:

Ryan & Ashlee: Did They Hook Up?

The article says that Trashlee Simpson and Ryan Phillippe met for the first time at the nightclub Les Deux on March 3. But by the end of the night, they knew each other really well. One source says they spent an hour alone in a VIP area and came downstairs "giggling." They are said to have met up at an afterparty and then Ryan spent the night at Ashlee's Bev 9-er manse.

However, another source says that Ryan was really wasted that night and was seeing flirting with a blonde... but it wasn't Ashlee.

So for now it remains a mystery. And I think he could do better than that Plastic anyway.

This is strictly my opinion but did you guys watch Americal Idol last night? Ryan Seacrest looked tiny to me.

His waist is like 18 inches. I'm slightly worried he is becoming manorexic. I know he was a chubby kid and lost all the weight before he became the mogul he is now, but I think he might have gone overboard.

He does do like 20 hours of TV a week, plus that radio show, and all the other projects he has in the works, so maybe his schedule is just grueling. But dude, have a sandwich!

I'm keeping my eye on the mini-man.

Why not, right?

Everyone else in the world is claiming to be Dannielynn's dad, why not a psychopathic murderer?

In the latest chapter of the paternity mystery, O.J. Simpson is talking trash about a relationship he had with Anna Nicole. Norm Pardo, a videographer who looged over 70 hours of ANS footage from 2000-2005, told Page Six he heard it from the source himself. "[O.J.] said he knew Anna Nicole pretty well, and he said he had slow-moving sperm, and he might be the father."

Gag! Choke! Barf!

Simpson and Smith were castmates in "Naked Gun 331/3: The Final Insult" in1994 and were, apparently, buddies.

A use for Maddox's hand-me-downs!

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will be adopting a 4-year-old son from Vietnam, reports US Weekly in their new issue, on sale this week.

The adoption should take no longer than four months, according to officials, and sources say the Jolie-Pitts "promised to give $2 million to the Tam Binh orphanage on the very day she receives the child."

I'm thinking that might move things along.

Good Charlotte front-man, Joel Madden, is being investigated in the assault on a female photographer, TMZ reports.

According to police sources, the woman claimed Madden struck her on the left breast "with the heel of his hand" as Joel tried to escort his girlfriend, Nicole Richie, out of the back door of Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills. The photographer told TMZ that she has a welt to prove it, and had to see a doctor for treatment.

A rep for the rocker had no comment.

Karma's a bitch and I love it!

Crazy Naomi Campbell will be working for the sanitation department to pay for her wicked ways! Isn't that fabulous?

Naomi changed her story and pleaded guilty to the charge of throwing her cell phone at her maid's head.

The model gave this heartfelt statement to the Associated Press:

"I pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in court today. That's the best way I know to say I'm sorry to Ana. I accepted responsibility and I'm prepared to take my punishment. But I'm not going to let this incident define me. The past is the past. My future holds great things and I'm getting on with my life."

I hope the other workers throw crap at her all day long. I love the justice system.

You know how I love me some Laguna Beach gossip.

First the great news.

Jason's going to jail, do-da, do-da. The spoiled jerk was sentenced yesterday to to 60 days in county jail and 36 months probation after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor battery charge, stemming from his arrest in September for punching a tow-truck driver and a Department of Transportation officer.

The judge also ordered the moron to attend 104 AA meetings and 36 hours of anger management classes.
Will have to see if those numbers are upped after he attends court for his arrest over this past weekend.

Now the good news.

Lauren is getting her own clothing line. Yay!

See what happens when you drop the dead weight?

Courteney Cox-Arquette and hubby, David, are mad.

The couple is fuming over recent reports in Life and Style and Star rag that Court has been getting close with Dirt co-star Josh Stewart. The tabloids say that Court and Dave, who have been married for 7 years, are having major troubles.

A rep for the couple told Us:

“There is not a shred of truth to the rumors about the state of their marriage. They are happily married and like most married couples, they have some separate friendships and interests.”

What do you guys think? They say where there's smoke there's fire.

Yes, Rachael Ray can be really irritating, but that chick loves her dog.

Rach came to the rescue of her pup, Isaboo, when a stray caused trouble at Union Square Park on Saturday. According to Page Six and the TV host's rep, "This dog came up - there was no owner in sight - and became aggressive. Rachael and some others shooed it away, but it came back and attacked Isaboo. Other dogs were involved, and Rachael jumped in and was bit by one of the dogs on the leg."

No worries, though, the celebrity chef got a clean bill of health. "A nurse was in the park and checked her out. She's fine."

I wonder "what's for dinner tonight" on The Rachael Ray Show. I'm thinking Chicken Chow Stray Dog.

NBC's America's Got Talent will have a new host for its second season.

Jerry Springer will be replacing Regis Philbin as the front-man of the lame talent competiton, according to E!. Reeg bowed out of the gig, saying that shuttling back and forth between New York and L.A. was too much for his old bones.

Executive Producer of Talent, Simon Cowell, is psyched about the replacement. "I am absolutely thrilled that Jerry has agreed to host the next season of our show for a number of reasons," he said. "He is the perfect person for this. I wish him—and he is going to need it!—the best of luck."

Springer, who was the sentimental favorite from last season's Dancing With the Stars, has opened himself up to a whole new set of fans -- a very different group from the people who watch his talk show.

"I've been around some of America's most talented individuals on my talk show for the last 16 years, so I'll feel right at home hosting America's Got Talent," Springer said.

Yes, Jerry, it takes quite the bit of talent to sleep with your mother's husband and wonder if your baby is now your kid and your step sibling.

I'm a Travolta fan. Maybe because at a very young age I became obsessed with Grease and dreamed of becoming a Pink Lady. Whatever the reason, John T. has always done me proud. I know there's tons of speculation on his sexuality, and he's one of those Scientologist freaks but, when it all comes down to it, he's a good man.

Case in point. At the premiere of his new movie, Wild Hogs, John donated $15,000 to central Florida tornado victims.

"These things happen in Florida and when they happen we all have to do something to help," said the actor, who has lived in Ocala for about four years, with wife, Kelly Preston, and their two kids. "I just felt the time was right. We're promoting a movie. I think the best movie openings and promotions are when you can do it for charity and help people. I live here. These are my people."

The Mayor of Ocala gave Johnny the key to the city.

Now that's a nice story.

Listen to this.

Diddy was at the hot NYC club Marquee on Saturday night, hanging with Lenny Kravitz. That's all fine and good, but the extremely self-centered rapper requested that only his songs be played.

He's really racking up the points in my book. I mean, really. Go sit in your own house and listen to your music. I'm sure he has an iPod.

I'm so glad that guy that Diddy clocked at the post-Oscar party has decided to file a lawsuit against him. He needs to get knocked down a notch or two.

But I think, from now on, I will only let people use their computers to read my blog, while in my presence.

My baby hurt his shoulder!

While filming his new flick, I Am Legend, in NYC, Will Smith strained his shoulder. According to The Daily News, he headed to the Hospital for Special Surgery on the upper East Side after finishing his scenes, and is being treated with physical therapy.

My hard-working honey was back at work the next day.

Obviously this wasn't life-threatening, but it's a good excuse for me to bake him some cookies. And rub his arm.

Laguna Beach baddie, and Lauren Conrad's ex Jason Wahler, was arrested this weekend after cops say he "resisted a public officer" during a bar raid in North Carolina.

TMZ.com reports that Jase was taken to Pitt County Jail early Saturday morning, where he spent a only few hours behind bars before posting a $1000 bail. He's due to back in court in April.

Such a loser.

It's actually called Chateau La Rue and it's Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's new bed and breakfast.

Tori and her hubby, who are expecting a baby boy at the end of the month, celebrated the grand opening of their new business on Saturday, according to People.com. The California inn, named after Spelling's pug Mimi La Rue, is about 100 miles from Los Angeles, and is the focus of the couple's new reality show, Tori & Dean: Inn Love, premiering on the Oxygen network on March 20.

The first official guests are expected to arrive this week. "Dean will be doing a lot of the day-to-day manual labor," says Spelling. "Since I'm in my ninth month (of pregnancy), I'm exhausted and it's hard for me to get around. But I love to cook so I'll be preparing a lot of the food and conceptualizing the theme nights."

I hope Brandon, Kelly and Dylan can make it for the "Class of '93" reunion.

Last week, Page Six reported that actor Josh Hartnett helped diffuse a bar fight inside Manhattan's Whiskey Ward bar. The report stated that the actor came to the aid of a girl who was being hassled by another patron.

Today some witnesses are telling a different story about Hartnett and his pals, calling them "very aggressive" and saying that Josh just stood by and watched as his friends gave the man in question a beat down.

A rep for the actor would like you to believe the first story.

Cameron Diaz is lovin' the single life.

Cam was seen getting her kiss on with hottie Tyrese Gibson at the hip L.A. club Xenii, according to The Daily News."They made out right in front of me on the dance floor," said a fellow club-goer.

Sources say the new twosome also came together to a pre-Oscars party thrown by Harvey Weinstein, Tamara Mellon and Tracey Edmonds. Diaz's rep says the two are not dating.

Whatever, so they're "friends with benefits". Works for me.

Ouch!

David Beckham suffered a knee injury Sunday night during his soccer match in Madrid.

Posh's husband hurt his right knee after he ran into the "advertising hoardings" behind the goal, BBC News reports. The soccer star, 31, will undergo tests today to determine the extent of the injury, and he'll miss his team's next game on Wednesday.

In January, Posh and Becks announced that they're moving the family to Los Angeles this summer, after Beckham signed a multimillion-dollar deal to play for Major League Soccer's L.A. Galaxy.

Man, that hurts. Good thing Vicki has that reality deal in the works.

Elizabeth Hurley married Indian businessman Arun Nayer in two ceremonies this past weekend.

The couple made it official in a civil ceremony on Friday, in a castle in England, and followed it up with a religious ceremony on Saturday in the same place, according to People.com.

Elton John walked the bride down the aisle on Saturday, where Liz and her beau promised to "love, comfort, honor and keep each other, in sickness and in health."

Congrats to them.

Why doesn't Nicole Richie just hire someone to provide her with food and drink 'round the clock? There would be so much more room for other news if the underfed celeb wasn't always needing medical help.

According to E!, Nic apparently felt ill while taping an episode of The Simple Life on Friday. She was examined by an on-set doctor and then taken to a nearby hospital where she was treated for dehydration, receiving intravenous fluids for 15 minutes, and was released.

"Nicole is home resting and will return to work this evening," her rep said in a statement. "We are proud of the weight that Nicole is gaining and her focus on her health."

Right. What a porker.

We couldn't have planned this better if we tried! You know what we think of Jared Leto here at the Blabber -- loser with a capital "L".

Well, Jared thought he would be cool and run into the crowd at a 30 Seconds to Mars concert Thursday night in Texas, but ended up causing a raucous and getting his nose broken. The singer/actor jumped off the stage at the County Coliseum in El Paso and was rushed by thousands of fans (who are these people?). In addition to his nose, the annoying front-man hurt his foot and had some superficial face and body injuries. No fans were seriously injured, according to the band's spokesperson.

"I've been producing shows for 25 years and this was one of the scariest moments I have witnessed," said the concert promoter. "We hope Jared's injuries are all minor and that he has a speedy recovery."

Jared finished the show and then spent the evening in the hospital.

I just have one question. Hey Suzy, where were you on Thursday night?

According to the British paper News of the World, Brit tried to hang herself with a bedsheet, before K-Fed came to the rescue, the other night.

Supposedly the messed up mom wrote 666 on her shaved head before running around Promises screaming,"I am the Antichrist!" at frightened staff. "Later that night she tried to kill herself," a friend said. "She attached a sheet to a light and tied it around her neck. Paramedics were called, but luckily she was unhurt."

Kev talked her down and promised to stand by her as long as she cleaned up her act and got well. A source close to Britney said, "Kevin has been a real tower of strength for her and she has finally decided to give their marriage another shot."

Since all the drama took place, Britney has been seen heading to AA meetings, smiling and looking much healthier.

Not that I think getting back with Kevin is the best idea, but she definitely looks better.
I think I've fully come over to the other side. I'm pro-Brit. Get well soon!!

John Ratzenberger will join the cast of Dancing with the Stars, ABC announced this morning on Good Morning America.

Ratzenberger, who played Cliff Clavin on the sitcom Cheers for 11 seasons, will take the place of actor Vincent Pastore, who dropped out of the competition earlier this week, claiming that the show's physical demands were too rigorous.

Ratzenberger, 59, was invited by producers earlier this year to participate in the show, but couldn't commit due to a scheduling conflict. Now he's got a second chance.

"He likes to cut a rug. People will be surprised," his rep tells People.

If John can get down as well as Cliff could drink beer and rattle off useless trivia, he's got a great chance at the trophy. I, for one, would much rather see John do The Hustle before Vinny any day.

Here's an update on the story that Brad and Angie are adding another child to their family.

According to the Associated Press, Angelina has taken the next step with Vietnam's International Adoption Agency. "She just filed the papers this week," said Vu Duc Long, the agency's director. Long would not name the U.S. adoption agency working with Jolie, who applied to adopt as a single parent.

Okay, all together now!

Here's the story
of a lovely lady...

It's round three in the battle of ABC vs. Katherine Heigl -- and she's one feisty chick!

It all started when the actress dropped out of contract negotiations (ding, ding!) with the medical drama due to the lack of respect (i.e. money) she felt she was getting. After, ABC released a statement (ding, ding!) saying that Heigl was under contract with the network and was not going anywhere.

Now, per Access Hollywood, Heigl has sent another message (ding, ding!) back to the execs for embarassing her:

"I am embarrassed that this has become a public matter and disappointed that Touchstone felt it necessary to divulge private employment information. I had hoped I would be able to deal with this issue confidentially with my bosses. I dropped out of the renegotiation simply because I wanted to treat myself with the respect I was not getting from them. No matter how unhappy I am about their decision to respond to this publicly, I continue to be passionate about and committed to this character."

Are you going to take that, ABC? I'm about to break out my big white card and magic marker for Round 4.

There was lots of reports yesterday that trouble was brewing for Chris Rock and his wife, Malaak, but the couple has released a statement to Usmagazine.com denying the breakup rumors:

"Though we have tried in the past to take the high road and not comment on the tabloid media, we find it necessary to express on record how unfortunate it is that the Daily News, specifically, and other tabloid outlets have chosen to print untrue rumors and lies about our family and marriage. It is extremely hurtful to us, our children, and our extended family. We remain, as always, very happy and committed to our marriage and the beautiful family that we have built."

Rock has a new movie out called I Think I love My Wife, which tells the story of a married man tempted by another woman, played by Kerry Washington. There were some whisperings that the on-screen chemistry was, not so much great acting on the part of Rock and Washington, but a case of life imitating art.

Not that you were going to see the movie, but if you do, let us know what you think. Is this a Mr. and Mrs. Smith scenario?

My husband came home from work yesterday and asked me if I heard that annoying comedienne, Kathy Griffin, and former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter were dating.

After feeling his head for a fever and checking his eyes for dilation, I simply chalked it up to him hearing wrong.
But honey, I apologize.

TMZ has a video of the ultimate mismatched couple heading into hot spot Les Deux. Griffin and Carter were surrounded by a television crew, which is my only hope that this something other than a "hot" new romance.

Maybe they are doing a new reality show on Hollywood's biggest losers?

Anna Nicole Smith' body is being flown this morning to the Bahamas, where she will finally be laid to rest.

The memorial service is expected to have over 300 guests in attendance and will feature large amounts of pink flowers. Smith will be dressed in a custom made gown and there will be a musical performance from a well-known artist whose name organizers aren't ready to disclose, said Smith's friend, Patrik Simpson, to the Associated Press.

"It will be a very beautiful, Anna Nicole send-off. Of course it will be over the top because it's Anna Nicole."

Let's all hope she finally gets some peace.

"I'm not much interested in drugs - apart from the occasional spliff. If I want to leave here right now and go to Amsterdam for the hell of it, I will. What this job has shown me is that there are many options in life, and I can do whatever I want. Cool, huh?"

--Joss Stone, to Q magazine, on how she feels about getting high with penguins.

I'm kidding! It's just a quote about how she feels about drugs in general.

I think not.

But that's exactly what a chick named Linda Ransom (!) did, and now she's been ordered to stay at least 100 yards away from him, his home, his workplace and his vehicle.

Maybe she too read the rumors about the manhood situation and just couldn't resist. I sorta would like to know if all that is true... or if it's just Hollywood hype.

"We sat a few rows behind her," Natalie says. "She was wearing a black dress with a silverish/metallic jacket that had an Asian design... like a bird or something. She had a huge diamond necklace on -- not a real diamond though I don't think. It was a very large piece. Her hair looked fresh and fluffy. When we were leaving, we walked out with Shane McMahon (son of the wrestling guy who has the bet with Donald Trump). I wish he and Joan would have wrestled each other."

Thanks, Nat.

Speaking of Joan, Tracy did a new feature on celebrity plastic surgery that I bet you guys are going to love. It has before and after photos of the biggest nip/tuckers and polls for you to rate if they looked better before or after going under the knife. So check that.

What do you think?

"I had to laugh a lot," said Ebanks, when asked what her response was to the story. "You know it's a little scary because it's almost a domino effect and it's like, first we were just a hot couple and then we were married. Only God knows what else is going to come out."

Not married -- but giddy in love, I tell you.

"We're young and happy," Ebanks said. "He definitely puts a smile on my face and I do that for him, as well. I've never been happier. So, you know, we are two young people just living life."

People has the first photos of Patrick Dempsey's twins in their special Oscar double issue, which is on sale today.

Awww, they're mcbeautiful.

Pete Doherty is a menace to society. This dude needs a babysitter. Pete and very tolerant girlfriend, Kate Moss, were at Cotswold Wildlife Park, in Oxfordshire, when he threw a joint to the penguins... and one penguin reportedly ate it!

A source told The Sun, "Everyone knew he was smoking grass. He was joking about getting the penguins stoned. He threw them his joint and it looked like one penguin gulped it down. It seemed very wobbly." London Zoo's chief veterinary officer, Andrew Routh, fumed, "Feeding a penguin cannabis could be fatal. It contains toxins that attack the nervous system and liver."

Not to mention an intense case of the munchies.

Seriously, guy, get a grip. You're a mess.

Who do Orlando Bloom and Penelope Cruz think they are kidding? The two super-hot stars will only say that they are "good friends", but a whole lot of other people saw something else at Prince's Oscar party.

The Daily News is reporting that party guests, including Leo DiCaprio and Ryan Gosling, caught quite the public display of affection from the couple.

"Penélope and Orlando couldn't keep their hands off one another -- they were making out the whole night," says a witness. "It was crazy! Touching, kissing -- even a little bit of groping."

I don't get it. Just come out as a couple - we're happy for you!

Though not a word was uttered on last night's Americal Idol broadcast regarding contestant Antonella Barba's racy web-strewn photos, judge Simon Cowell spoke out to People about the controversy.

"I think it's disgraceful that so-called friends would sell these pictures," he said. "It's private property. I really, really have a problem with that – big problem."

The New Jersey girl has been facing major ridicule since said photos surfaced last week. Barba's best bud and fellow American Idol auditioner, Amanda Coluccio, has insisted the most damaging photos are not of her friend.

I've seen the pics and I really don't see the big deal (barring that the really dirty ones aren't her). What do you think?

"Katherine is an integral part of Grey's Anatomy and its success. Fortunately, we have a longterm contract to ensure she will be with the show for several years to come. In recognition of her tremendous talent and value to the show, we recently approached Katherine with an offer to raise her compensation significantly above the terms of her current contract. We were surprised to see this gesture reported negatively in the press, and want to reassure fans that she will continue as Izzie Stevens."

Buzz is that Kat's dismay was purposely leaked to get her fans in an uproar.

Hey, it worked. Now if they'd just bring Denny back...

Okay, maybe not with Justin, but you can eat at his new restaurant.

J.T and business partner, Eytan Sugarman, have plans to open up a new NYC eatery with a down home vibe. Southern Hospitality will be then newest addition to their restaurant empire. The duo already own Destino in New York and Chi in L.A.

Hospitality will open next month on Second Avenue at 76th Street and will feature Southern cooking, live music and a jukebox filled with Justin's favorite Southern jams.

Sounds like a cool place. I'll meet you there for some ribs and a little "Sweet Home Alabama."

Can you just see Paris Hilton in that bright orange jumpsuit? Maybe she could belt it and add some beige pumps for a complete outfit?

The talentless starlet was pulled over when cops caught her speeding down Sunset Blvd. without her headlights on. Hilton was driving with a suspended license, which led to her arrest. The police also impounded the car.

After violating the terms of her probation from a DUI incident in September, Paris could face up to 90 days in jail. A court hearing has been scheduled.
