"Everyone gets DUI's. Thousands are handed out every day, but you only hear about it when celebrities get them. It is a big deal but it's not a big deal - just a slap on the wrist."

-- Jack Osbourne

This is NOT something to believe in EVER, much less on New Year's Eve. Don't drink and drive -- it is a big deal. Make the start of 2008 as fantastic as you want the rest of the year to be.

Much love and best wishes for a happy and healthy!

Could there be more scandal hidden deep within the already extremely scandalous pregnancy of sixteen-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears?

I guess J-L thought she was putting a sweet spin on her pregnancy by saying her baby's daddy was her longtime boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, who she met in church, but sources are buzzing that might not be the case. According to PageSix.com, Casey and the expectant mom have been more on and off than serious, and actually broke up last November, which left Jamie Lynn to play the field. A spy says she was even interested in dating Kevin Federline's brother at one point!

Can you imagine if she was carrying a Federline? It would just be too good.

“We have been hearing increasing rumors that Casey is not the baby's father,” a family insider told the website. “Jamie Lynn will not tell anyone who the actual father is.”

So why would Casey take the rap for the pregnant Jamie-Lynn? Cash, of course.

"Apparently Lynne is trying to cover the truth of it by making an arrangement with Casey,” the insider revealed. “They may be paying him to pose as Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend and the father of her baby in order to protect her and her future.”

So, what's the real story? Don't know yet, but the truth will come out. It always does.

Who could be more frivolous and indulgent than Paris Hilton and Kevin Federline? What about Paris and Kevin together? At a party. In Las Vegas.

So was the scene at LAX on Saturday and Pure Nightclub on Sunday, as Britney's pal and Britney's ex drank and danced together this weekend. Paris and Kevin are both in Sin City to host separate New Year's Eve parties, but found their way to each other's side. According to People.com, the unlikely pair went back to Paris's room Saturday night after leaving the club, but seemed more distant on Sunday night.

Could they have been feeling a little regret from the night before? Hmmmmm....

Just so you know, Nicole Kidman's Austrailian rep says the actress is not expecting, despite rumors that she and hubby Keith Urban broke the good news of a pregnancy to their families over the Christmas holiday.

“It is incorrect . . . she must have had about 30 babies by now,” Nic's spokeswoman told News.com.au. “She’s in Australia making a film and her family are in Australia. She’s happily ensconced away somewhere having a few days break. It’s the silly season. As far as we’re concerned, it’s another rumor out of London.”

I'm not convinced. Remember when Jennifer Lopez wasn't pregnant?

I, admittedly, love The Hills. I loved Laguna Beach and I even watch that poor excuse for a replacement, Newport Harbor, just to get my fix. Don't care if they make Lauren Conrad and her pals have conversations over and over again for the cameras -- love it anyway.

That said, how excited am I that Us Weekly is reporting that Lauren and her former Laguna Beach boyfriend Stephen Coletti were caught all over each other, at a bar over the weekend? I'll tell you. So excited.

Apparently L.C. and Stephen arrived at L.A.'s Central together, and after a whole lot of "flirting and chatting," they were seen making out by the bar after Stephen supposedly carried her there from the dance floor!

Please let that have been filmed!

With rumors that Lauren's pre-Heidi Montag ultimate nemesis, Kristin Cavallari, might make an appearance on the new season of The Hills, and this interesting development in the saga of Lauren and Stephen, all of my reality dreams could be coming true.

Expect for the one where I go on The Flavor of Love and win Flav's heart -- and that shiny gold grill.

According to London's Daily Mail, Nicole and Keith Urban are expecting their first child together. The paper says that Tom Cruise's ex and her country crooner hubby broke the news to their families on Christmas day.

In the September issue of Vanity Fair Nicole opened up about having a miscarriage while she was married to Tom, and talked of wanting to start a new family with Keith. "I'm yearning to have one," she said of Urban-Kidman creation. "I think I would be very sad if I wasn't able to have a baby. Keith knows I want one, and he has been getting there slowly."

Here's my dream scenario:
Tom and Katie go over to Nicole's to pick up Connor and Isabella and Nicole introduces TomKat to the new baby. The little tyke looks at Tom and smiles, then turns to Katie and says, "Mama".

Come on, you know that would be funny.

A joyous holiday it was for some notable names in Hollywood.

SNL funnyman Jimmy Fallon said "I do" to his producer girlfriend, Nancy Juvonen, who he met on the set of her good friend Drew Barrymore's flick Fever Pitch, in 2005. The couple tied the knot Saturday, on Necker Island in the Caribbean.

In other new family news, boxing champ Oscar de la Hoya and his wife, Millie Corretjer, welcomed their second child together, Nina Lauren Nenitte de la Hoya. Say that three times fast! Nina was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in the middle-weight category, coming in at a cool 7 lbs., 13 oz.

"We are so excited and blessed with the new addition to our family!" Oscar said in a statement.

This is the fighter's fourth child.

Congrats!

Keep in mind that I have no reason to defend Miley. I've never seen the Hannah Montana show, I have no children that go crazy for her -- I just don't like when innocent people get picked on. Case in point, Miley, who is fifteen, is getting dogged for some pictures that are circulating on the internet. In said "racy" photos, Miley and her friend are playing around like all young girls, fully clothed, yet some pervs out there are making more out of them.

“They’re nothing bad!” the pure until marriage teen star told New York’s Z100 radio station on Friday night. “There was nothing wrong with it. It’s two girls at a sleepover. And if all of a sudden that’s bad, then what is the world coming to?”

So, how is she dealing with the negative attention that this good girl is so not used to?

“Honestly, I just try to keep my cool. At first, I was really upset. It really sucks to be honest. It was a friend of mine that’s a normal girl and – look at me getting all upset – the worst part is she has to go to school and deal with that crap,” Miley continued. “I have to deal with that anyways. I deal with it all the time.”

So, should this Disney queen pack it all in and get out of the limelight? I don't think so.

"What I decided before I came out to L.A. and started working was the minute I didn’t have fun was the minute I go home. I don’t want to go home, and I don’t want to not do what I do, because I love it, but this... it’s Satan attacking and it’s just one more thing I have to deal with. But it’s not something that I’m going to let slide because I really am upset about it,” she expressed.

Word, Miley. The haters are just jealous. Right, kids?

Good television news! It's about time, right?

David Letterman has reached a deal with the union representing the striking writers and will return to his late-night desk on January 2.

“I am grateful to the WGA for granting us this agreement. We’re happy to be going back to work, and particularly pleased to be doing it with our writers,” Dave said in a statement Friday. “This is not a solution to the strike, which unfortunately continues to disrupt the lives of thousands. But I hope it will be seen as a step in the right direction.”

Dave, who is totally the man, has been paying his staff out of his own pocket since the strike began, which had to be a huge relief to all of his peeps who were worried about having cash to feed their families -- oh yeah, and buy some holiday gifts.

So, to all of Dave's staffers, who will be back earning their dollars next week, don't forget that Boss' Day is October 16.

The singer, whose December 2006 car crash with Awatef Aboudihaj resulted in the woman's death, will not face criminal charges. Brandy's Land Rover hit the back of a Honda driven by Aboudihaj, whose car then hit a third vehicle, before being struck by someone else.

A rep for the city attorney's office spokesman told Usmagazine.com:

"The City Attorney’s Office has decided not to file misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter charges against Brandy Norwood in the case stemming from a December 30, 2006 traffic collision. After conducting a thorough investigation, which included consulting with some of the top accident reconstruction experts in the country, City prosecutors concluded that there was insufficient evidence from which a jury could find Ms. Norwood guilty of such a charge beyond a reasonable doubt."

Though this is really good news for the singer, Brandy has yet to resolve the four wrongful-death suits filed by Aboudihaj's family and another victim of the crash. Her trial date is set for January 28.

Watch this video of a clip from the new NYC show "Jen and Angie". The Upright Citizens Brigade used their genius to create a play based on the premise of what would happen if Jen Aniston and Angelina Jolie were stranded on a desert island together.

It's pretty hilarious -- my favorite part is when "Angie" tries to convince to "Jen" to unite with her to take down Scarlett Johannson.

Totally smart of The Brigade to release this short video -- I'm on my way to buy tickets now. Enjoy!

More details on the Mischa Barton arrest!

According to TMZ.com, Mischa blew a .12 on the breathalyzer test cops gave her after pulling her over for driving like, well, like she was drunk. The website's police insider also claims the actress had smoked marijuana earlier in the day, had some of the pot on her, and was carrying around a bunch of prescription pills that weren't hers!

Now that's a party!

Mischa was released on $10,000 bail and got picked up by her mom.

Jeez, what a ride home that must have been.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Jessica's acting -- have you seen that terrible Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer -- but I do think Jess will be a good mom. What do you guys think?

The wacked-out singer says she had been deceived about signing papers agreeing to pay the fine. According to the "Rehab" singer's logic, she says she didn't understand that paying up meant that she was pleading guilty. Amy blames the language barrier, even though police are calling her bluff, saying that she was helped by English translators.

I know what the problem was. It wasn't that she didn't understand the language, people, she was HIGH! She didn't understand anything! She was like, "That's a funny little man talking jibber-jabber. Oh, you'd like an autograph? No problem -- do you have any candy? I love marshmallows. I'm thirsty. I don't think I like these handcuffs -- they are hurting my pancreas."

Good luck with all that court stuff, Amy.

"We are aware of Mischa Barton's incident last night, but at present she is still expected to host the CatHouse Grand Opening at the Luxor on December 29th," a rep for the club said in a statement. "We will let you know if anything changes."

That's right, bitches! You can't keep a good drinker down -- especially not on the best party night of the year.

Word to the wise, Mischa -- take the monorail.

Sean Penn and his wife of 11 years, Robin Wright Penn (you know, Jenny from Forest Gump), are getting a divorce. According to People.com, the couple's rep confirmed the split but said nothing else about it.

Sean and Robin were married in 1996, after dating for a few years. They have two kids together.

Tell me, are you surprised?

Cash Warren has decided to do his best to make an honest woman out of Jessica Alba, as the future parents have gotten engaged. According to People.com, Jessica's rep says that Jess and Cash do have plans to walk down the aisle -- and that she's sportin' a rock on her finger. "I can confirm that they are engaged," says publicist Brad Cafarelli.

Jessica shocked the heck out of us earlier this month, when she announced that she and Cash (who had been on-again-off-again this past year) were expecting a baby. Word on the street was that the reason for their breakup over the summer was that Jessica wanted to get married, but Cash, not so much.

Seems like that baby knocked (up) some sense into him.

I love this picture. I'm not sure why, maybe because I've always been oddly, oddly attracted to Dave -- he's hot in that "dirty hot" way -- but, if I were him, I would blow this baby up and hang it on a wall somewhere in my house. It's just one of those sweet moments in time.

What can I say? I'm a Foo, I mean, a fool for a rock star dad.

Welcome to your DUI, bitch!

The O.C. sweetheart, Mischa Barton, has officially received her starlet status, as she has been arrested on suspicion of DUI, possession of narcotics and driving on a suspended license, according to TMZ.com. Mischa was reportedly pulled over early this morning around 2:45 AM and is currently still in custody. She is being held on $10,000 bail.

Isn't this about the time when Ryan Atwood would grab Seth and Summer and they would all break Marisa out of jail and head to Tijuana? Am I confusing television with reality again? Oh, wait -- since the writer's strike began television is reality.

UPDATE:
Mischa has posted her own bail and has been released. According to the L.A. County Sheriff Dept., the actress was pulled over after "her vehicle was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and she failed to signal when making a turn."

"During Ms. Barton's detention, it was determined that she was an unlicensed driver and was driving while under the influence of an alcoholic beverage," according to police. "Ms. Barton was arrested and transported to West Hollywood Sheriff's station where the booking process was completed without incident."

The investigation is ongoing.

After nine years of marriage and three children, Brendan Fraser and his wife, Afton, have called it quits. The Mummy actor's publicist confirmed the breakup in a statement to the Associated Press. "They continue to maintain a close and caring friendship," Brendan's rep said.

I can only imagine the thoughts running through Paris' mind, when she heard the news that her grandfather, Barron Hilton, announced plans to donate 97 percent of his $2.3 billion fortune to charity.

Ha!

Sources say that Paris' granddaddy is not exactly happy with the social image the sex-tape queen has portrayed over the years -- which may or may not have contributed to his decision to diminish her inheritance by a boatload.

The fortune, which is estimated today at $2.3 billion, will be used to support projects that provide clean water in Africa, education for blind children, and for housing for the mentally ill -- which actually may include Paris, when she loses her mind from the thought of, horror of horrors, a budget.

According to a pal of paparazzi photographer Adnan, who happens to be married, Britney used her new friend as a sounding board/psychologist. "Britney just wanted to get things off of her chest," the source said. "She rambled on and on — he couldn't get a word in edgewise, which is pretty unusual for him because he loves to talk. She was bouncing from one subject to another, yapping about everything from what was on television to her issues with her mom. She was all over the place, like someone with severe ADD."

So, why isn't the paparazzi photographer, who will go to the greatest lengths to get the best shot for the most cash, not selling his story? "[Britney] feels like she's been abandoned and deceived by everyone around her lately, and she doesn't really have anyone in her life and she's scared," the photog's friend said of Brit. "He doesn't want to betray her too, especially because this is the first time they've really been alone together."

Though some speculate that the new friends have something romantic going on, Adnan's pal says that's not exactly the case. "They absolutely did not hook up ... but that's not to say that they don't have little crushes on one another."

It's just a matter of time before they are in a hot tub together and Us Weekly has the photos on their cover. And you know what? I CAN'T WAIT.

Leonardo DiCaprio can't seem to stay away from the models -- especially Bar Refaeli.

The couple, who split in October and sent Bar rushing into the arms of former Cameron Diaz flame Kelly Slater, have rekindled their romance. According to the NY Daily News, the gorgeous couple were "spotted holding hands at the Polo Lounge in Beverly Hills last week."

A source told Us Weekly that Leo and Bar, "were never really 'off'. It was always a distance thing. Leo was making a movie in Morocco [this year], and Bar had her modeling career."

And snap! goes the hearts of all the other models in the world, who had hoped they were next on Leo's list.

According to Britain's newspaper The Sun, Amy is no longer allowed normal visits with her jailed hubby, Blake Civil-Fielder, after he tested positive for drugs in London's Pentonville prison. If Amy chooses to see her hubby, who is believed to have had heroin in his system, the messed up couple will be separated by bullet-proof glass and will not be allowed to have any physical contact. Blake is currently awaiting trial over assault and trial-fixing allegations.

Do you guys think Amy, who's having a tough time of her own trying to get sober, slipped him some goodies during a visit? I can totally see how they could pull it off with all that hair. Where else could she hide it, though? She's way too skinny to camouflage it anywhere else on her body. Maybe in her red bra? Who knows -- I shudder to think about the other possibilities.

Talk about a windfall!

Black Eyes Peas' Fergie rolled the dice and won with hottie Josh Duhamel, as People reports that the singer and the Las Vegas actor have gotten engaged.

"Fergie called a lot of her girlfriends today to tell them the news," a source close to Fergielicious told the mag. "She said they don't know what kind of wedding they want yet, but that she is the happiest girl on earth."

The couple, who have been dating for three years and recently moved in together, first met on the set of Josh's show.

Congrats to the couple -- especially to Fergie, who has managed to snag one of the yummiest men in Tinseltown.

Unlike the Ok! cover, where Lynne and Jamie Lynn Spears announced the 16-year-olds pregnancy, Us Weekly doesn't care what Britney's mom and sis have to say. The mag has actually talked to others who have witnessed Lynne's parenting first hand -- and say she may not always be looking out for her girls' best interest.

"Jamie wanted something different for her life, and her mom put her in situations she didn't want to be in," Alexa Nikolas, J-L's Zoey 101 costar tells the mag. A different family friend concurs that Jamie Lynn wasn't really looking to go to Hollywood and be a star like Britney. "She never cared about celebrity -- she preferred Kentwood [Louisiana]."

Still not convinced? Another source goes as far to say that Lynne "treats her girls like a piggy bank."

That's rough -- but believable, considering Lynne is the one that convinced Jamie Lynn to sell the story of her teen pregnancy to Ok!. "Lynne knew OK! would pay the most," a source said. "It was her decision." Which is why Jamie Lynn's dad was said to be furious, and why Britney was not told of the news until later -- they wanted to keep the deal quiet and in place.

Lynne, who reportedly has earned a nice percentage of both of her daughter's business deals in the past, is said to be doing just fine. "Lynne got all her money through those girls and loved it when it started rolling in," a source told Us. "She's the only one with a Land Rover in Kentwood."

I wonder what Dr. Phil has to say about that?

"Now it's time for me to take on new challenges," he said in a statement. "I am pleased to have had the opportunity to build upon the Def Jam legacy."

And build he did. In addition to discovering huge artists like Rihanna, Beyonce's man created a ton of other companies that spun off from Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam records. He's got clothing lines, a Reebok sneaker line, and has opened a string of clubs called 40/40.

After he packs up his Def-Jam digs, I'm sure Jay will go on to continue to dominate the music biz. His first stop will be the Grammy Awards -- where he's nominated for five big ones.

Will Smith continues to be a legend in his own time, as his world-ending flick, I Am Legend, came in second, adding a cool $47.5 million to its pile of money.

There has to be twins in there, right?

So, I'm positively giddy to report that sources are saying that GG's stars -- and on-screen love interests -- Blake Lively and Penn Badgely may just have a little something for us to talk about going on off-screen. According to the NY Daily News' Gatecrasher, they pair have started "quietly dating."

"No one is really supposed to know that," laughs an insider. "I was told by a friend of the family."

The co-stars were spotted shopping together last week in NYC, looking quite cozy.

Yeah! It just makes me love them as a GG couple even more and, because I have a hard enough time separating real life from television anyway, this just makes my life that much easier.

According to London's Sunday Mirror, tens of thousands of dollars worth of designer clothes and jewelry were stolen from Posh's dressing room during a Spice Girls' concert in Germany on Thursday. Though she knows her good are easily replaced, Posh was most upset to learn that a red satin robe, custom designed by Roberto Cavalli, was gone. The piece had "Mrs. Beckham" printed on the front and "Posh" on the back.

Who is stealing that and wrapping it up to give to their mom for Christmas?

Whoever it was, just wanted a taste of Posh, as "all the other girls' dressing rooms were untouched," according to a source. "She was very upset," they said of David's wife. "Fashion means everything to her. She keeps all her old outfits in storage."

Mean 'ol fashion Scrooges strike again!

It was just a matter of time before Lindsay Lohan's rehab boyfriend would sell her out.

Surprise, surprise, Riley Giles, who Lindsay broke up with right after Thanksgiving, has sold his story of love (reportedly for BIG BUCKS) to Britain's News of the World and, as expected, he's painting quite the pornographic picture of his time with Lilo-land.

Riley begins by saying that Linds "quit coke and got hooked on me," saying "Lindsay’s definitely a nymphomaniac. She’s wild in bed. We’d have sex a couple of times in the day and then go to it through the night… We once did it four times in a row straight. That was crazy. Lindsay was insatiable. She’d demand sex again and again. We’d go at it for hours. She’d have worn out most guys.”

I love how he said "she'd have worn out most guys." But not you, Super Riley, you're THE MAN.

The snowboarder continues that he was in awe of his ex. “The first time we had sex I couldn’t believe I was looking down at Lindsay Lohan. We’d barely gotten through the door when we just ripped each other’s clothes off. Lindsay is so hot. She has a great body. Her backside is fantastic, perfect, all plump and round. She has great curves but her belly is nice and flat and toned. We couldn’t get enough of each other.”

But, if you're thinking they were all about the sex, you'd be wrong. “Lindsay would tell me she loved me and I’d say that to her, too… And I don’t say that to a lot of girls. She told me she’d only ever had three serious boyfriends—and I’m one of them. We even planned on getting a house and living together out here in Utah. We were together every day for a month and after that I could tell she really loved me a lot by the way she cried and cried when we had to say goodbye at the airport.”

Surprisingly, this solid relationship didn't work out -- but Riley loved Linds so much that he felt the need to spill all their intimate details to the world. Such loyalty.

Did you guys watch Boy Meets World back in the day? I happen to love that show -- it was like The Wonder Years, but not as good, with Fred Savage's little brother, Ben, as the lead. Ben's Winnie Cooper was a girl named Topenga, played by cute child star Danielle Fishel, who little boys everywhere lusted after.

Well, Topenga now has a record. Danielle was arrested for drunk driving, right around five in the morning, after cops pulled her over. She was released from jail shortly after.

Tsk, tsk, Danielle. Winnie Cooper never got a DUI.

Sorry, I just had to.

Actress Teri Polo, of Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, and her musician boyfriend Jamie Wollam welcomed a beautiful baby girl into the world on Dec. 20. According to E! News, Bayley was born at 3:02 pm and weighed 7lbs. She joins two big brothers -- one from her mom's previous relationship and one from her dad's -- Griffin, 5, and Carter, 9.

Congrats to fam!

Just wanted to stop and take a minute to wish you and your families the happiest of holidays. Thanks for all of your support -- you make every day so much fun!

Be safe -- don't drink and drive like all the train wrecks we make fun of!

If Dr. Phil would like to keep his street cred, then he'd better watch what he says.

The usually tough-as-nails doc has crucified plenty of parents on his talk show, for their lax parenting skills, but Dr. Phil says that's not the situation in the case of Lynne Spears. "We know the Spears family, particularly the parents," he told People.com. "An asset that Britney and Jamie Lynn both have is a great and dedicated mother." Dr. Phil says, despite Jamie Lynn's pregnancy at sixteen, and Britney's, well Britney's over-all debauchery, their mom has "her feet squarely and solidly on the ground."

"They're a very strong, close-knit family," says Dr. Phil's wife Robin, "They're relying on each other. I talked to Lynne yesterday and she said they're turning to prayer, asked that I pray for them. That's how they're going to get through it."

Come on! I would totally expect the McGraws to rip Lynne a new one. What a buzz kill.

Anyway, whether or not Jessica was actually there, she decided not to be seen at her boyfriend, Tony Romo's, game against the Carolina Panthers. Tony's team may have benefited from the lack of star power in the stands, as the Cowboys won the game, 20-13. Tony did say that his girl might have actually been there, you just didn't see her. "I know she saw all of that tonight," Tony said after the game, about the mockery fans were making of the starlet. "She was at the game tonight, so I don't know."

If Jess was there, she stayed out of sight, since she was blamed for Tony's terrible performance last week. And, by the way, the quarterback was not happy about Jess feeling the wrath of his disappointed fans. "I don't care how the perception is of me," Tony told the NFL network, "But it hurts me when it hurts people that are close to me."

Aww, sticking up for his girl -- what a guy. Merry Christmas, Jess.

For their holiday she-bang, more than 200 children and their family members enjoyed a winter wonderland-themed spectacular, held at the Paramount Studios lot. The families were treated to a festival featuring face-painting, clowns, holiday music and, of course, Santa Claus.

"It was a no-brainer for us to pull this party together for them for the holidays," Nicole said. "We want to do much more to address the homeless issue, especially where it puts children at risk. But for now, we can at least try to help them have a merry Christmas by giving them teddy bears and getting them fitted for shoes. That's something we can do right now, today."

The true meaning of the Christmas spirit. Love them!

We know Britney Spears loves the paparazzi, but this is just getting ridiculous.

Splash News Online is reporting that Britney had some sort of crazy date with one of her favorite photogs, after he heard that Brit "liked" him. Adnan (his name) handed Britney his card and probably broke his lens when the singer actually called him. The pair met up and were later spotted holding hands in a supermarket!

After their little shopping spree, Britney and her man headed to the Peninsula Hotel, where they stayed for hours. When Us Weekly contacted the pap for some juice, he denied anything romantic was going on. "We are just friends. She was just a little upset, pretty much about everything."

So she called a member of the paparazzi to talk? Girl is drinking from one big 'ol cup of crazy.

Michelle, who was sentenced to 180 days in jail, after violating probation in her DUI case, began her stay on Sunday. The actress was booked late in the afternoon, at the Lynwood facility in California.

You know, where all the other starlets, Lindsay, Paris, Nicole, all did their time.

Unlike the other girls, though, Michelle was forbidden to be released early by the judge, but sources say the sheriff may have no choice but to override that order due to jail overcrowding. She is also eligible to get out early for good behavior, which is granted by state law.

I say keep in her in there until St. Patrick's Day -- then let her out so she can get her drink on.

I'm kidding.

It seems like we've been hearing about this wedding for ages -- well, it finally happened. In a picture-perfect setting, Grey Anatomy's Katherine Heigl married her pop-singing man, Josh Kelley.

The couple said their vows (which they wrote themselves) in Park City, Utah, where the ceremony was held under a tent, as snow fell outside. According to People.com, Kat's BFF and bridesman, T.R. Knight, said the nups were "beautiful and incredible."

Sure sounds it. Other details on the big day; a path from the ceremony to the reception was lined with candles and flowers, the bridesmaids wore red, and Katherine walked down the aisle to an acoustic song written by Josh.

Congrats to the happy couple!

In quite the hilarious and ingenious move, the creators of RuinRomo.com, have created a eyeless Jessica Simpson mask that non-supporters of Tony Romo and his teammates can download, print and wear to any upcoming Dallas game, in hopes to make Tony a little crazy and throw his game off.

The website encourages:

Help your team to victory by letting Tony Romo know the love of his life is in the stands!!!

My brother-in-law is a diehard Cowboys fan, so I wonder if he would be distracted if I wore my Jess-face to Christmas dinner?

"It is hard," Sascha told London's Daily Telegraph, "and the problem with success, although it's fantastic, is that every new person who sees the Borat movie is one less person I 'get' with Borat again, so it's a kind of self-defeating form, really."

Are you devastated? Are you going to miss Borat so much you could cry? Well, you're not the only one. "When I was being Ali G and Borat, I was in character sometimes 14 hours a day, and I came to love them, so admitting I am never going to play them again is quite a sad thing," says the brand-new dad. "It is like saying goodbye to a loved one."

Hopefully, you're all getting the Borat DVD for the holidays -- that way he can live on forever -- at least at your house.

Britney Spears may be putting on a happy face for the cameras, regarding sister Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, but inside sources say that Britney was really upset over the fact that she was the last to know about the impending birth of her niece or nephew.

“Britney felt betrayed and left out when Jamie Lynn did not come to her first,” a source told PageSix.com. After Britney was informed about J.L.'s condition, she attempted to get in contact with her sis, who avoided her calls because, some say, she was afraid of what Britney would say.

“Jamie Lynn has a very soft personality,” says the family insider. “She loves Britney, not Britney's temper.” When the sisters finally did speak, it was weird. "Their relationship is estranged,” says the source. “Jamie Lynn does not recognize Britney as the sister she grew up with, so she has gone to her friends, her boyfriend and her mom when she needs someone.”

What happened to their sisterly bond? “It is mostly by Britney's choice. She is so self-absorbed in her own life that she has forgotten what is important in life, like her family."

You would think, at a time like this, they would lean on each other, with Jamie Lynn following in Brit's footsteps and all. But word is they aren't even spending the holidays together -- Brit's in Cali, while her sis is back home in Louisiana.

Who else hopes this ends up like A Very Brady Christmas, and Britney shows up in Kentwood, on her mom's doorstep, with Sean and Jayden in their Santa outfits, singing "I'll Be Home For Christmas?

Maybe he'll even get something from his fellow inmates? He's supposedly very well-liked. The Glendale City Jail spokesman Officer Balian told PageSix.com that, "Kiefer is a really nice and humble guy, and just wants to put this behind him."

Happy birthday, Kiefer -- it's bound to be one you'll never forget.

Photos were taken of Pam and Criss partying together at club LAX in Vegas on December 8, while Rick was somewhere else playing cards. Sources say Pam's jealous hubby "hit the roof when he found out Pam was hanging out with Criss while he was off at a poker tournament. They had a huge fight." Then, ta-dah, Pam filed for divorce a few days later.

A friend of the couple says, "It was just another log on the fire. Their relationship is so volatile — I'm sure this won't be the last time she files. But nothing happened with her and Criss. They were just hanging out."

Since Rick is a gambling man (he's a professional poker player), whattaya say we take bets on how long this is really going to go? I have until tomorrow...

Sources are buzzing that fairly stable music supercouple Beyonce and Jay-Z secretly tied the knot while in Paris earlier this month. The duo were in the City of Lights to celebrate Jay's birthday, or so they say, but Mediatakeout.com insists that there was more to it, and J & B decided on Paris because “they didn’t want all the attention that usually follows them around.”

A source says that instead of exchanging rings, Beyonce and Jay chose to get tattoos on their ring fingers (see photos here), to show their mutual commitment. “They thought the tattoos would be a lovely personal touch,” the insider said.

Beyonce's peeps say they "don't know anything about it."

Could it be? They've been dating since 2002, so I wouldn't be surprised, but I always took them for wanting a wedding of lavish proportions. Maybe they'll follow up the private Paris ceremony with a big bash in the states.

Former AI finalist Jessica Sierra is pregnant, according to TMZ.com. So what, you say? Well, Jessica is not only pregnant with the child of an unnamed "rapper" -- the hot mess is currently in jail! Jess is facing two misdemeanor charges of disorderly intoxication and obstructing or opposing an officer and two felony counts of possession of cocaine and battery.

Now that sounds like someone who should have a kid, no?

Have no fear, though, you'll get a good dose of Jessica on VH1's upcoming Celebrity Rehab, but until then, she'll staying nice and warm in a Florida jail. Oh, and one last thing, Jessica has a sex tape coming out -- just in case you weren't completely convinced of her train wreck status.

In the wake of Nickelodeon star Jamie Lynn Spears announcing that she got her 16-year-old self knocked up, the network is considering doing some damage control by airing a special devoted to teen pregnancy.

Jamie Lynn stars in Zoey 101, and has an enormous young adult following, which has some people worried that their kids are going to want to emulate their role model. Linda Ellerbee, who has done shows before on the network, would host Nick's special on sex and love geared towards teens. "I think it's important that something be done," she told the Associated Press.

Parents have had a rough go of it this year, between High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens's naked photos surfacing and J.L.'s pregnancy. And just when you thought it was safe to let your kids get all hyped up on the seemingly innocent Disney Channel and Nick...

What's next? Cookie Monster gets caught trading his cookies for crack?

Anyway, here's the new cover. Pick it up if you want, but the peeps over there are most likely pretty happy their Christmas bonus doesn't depend on this week's sales.

Pretend there's a bubble over Brit's head. What is she thinking?

I'll go first...

"Freakin' Jamie Lynn -- she's such a copycat."

Sounds like a consolation prize to us, but I'd take it.

I think I'll start a magazine called Train Wreck -- where every week the biggest hot messes are featured on the cover and, at the end of the year, we give out the "Train Wreck Awards".

Obviously, "All Around Train Wreck of the Year" would go to Britney Spears. Amy Winehouse could win "Favorite Drunk and Wandering Train Wreck" and Tara Reid would be named "In Desperate Need of a Sandwich Train Wreck."

Have any train wreck awards you'd like to give out?

“I’m not going to lie. It will probably be weird when I see it. It’s going to be like, ‘Oh, wow, there it is.’ ”

-- Eva Mendes, on seeing her naked butt on a billboard for PETA's anti-fur campaign

“Last night, during run-through, I was cramping and in pain,” Cheryl told TVGuide.com, on Wednesday. “I couldn’t even stand up straight.” Cheryl was examined at a local hospital, where she was told she may have appendicitis. The dancer, who has won two of the DWTS titles, has to bow out of the Seattle performance and is heading home to get a second opinion.

“I hope it doesn’t require surgery,” she said.

We hope she's feeling better and back to shaking what her mama gave her soon!

Is Jamie Lynn Spears going to be 16, pregnant and married? Possibly, says a source close to the Spears clan.

Jamie Lynn and her babbydaddy, Casey Aldridge "want to get married really bad,” the insider told Access Hollywood. They did add, thank goodness, that the couple's parents “don’t think they should. They are too young. They should wait.”

They say the problem is that Jamie Lynn is living in a dream world, thinking her life with Casey and the baby is going to be some sort of romantic fairytale. She has “the mind of a teenager. She doesn’t understand the ramifications. She’s just a child with not a lick of sense,” the family friend said. "There’s no reasoning with her,” she said of the Britney's sister, and that Jamie Lynn is, “not thinking 10 years down the road, not even two years down the road.”

A wedding for a sixteen year old? I can't even imagine. There's just so many things wrong with that. What would they serve at the reception -- chicken nuggets and juice boxes? And if the bride is sixteen are the flower girls zygotes?

When asked about the supposed distraction that Jess created for her man, during the Dallas Cowboys' losing game last weekend, teammate Terrell Owens said, "Right now, Jessica Simpson is not a fan favorite - in this locker room or in Texas Stadium."

Later T.O. claimed he was only kidding around. "Man, I was joking," he said. "Everyone was laughing, right?" Though Terrell did admit that Jessica's connection to Tony is causing a tad bit of havoc. "With everything that has happened, obviously the way Tony played and the comparison between her and Carrie Underwood, I think a lot of people feel like she's kind of taken his focus away," he said. "Other than that, she was hot on my list until last week."

Jess just can't win. But then again, if she keeps hanging in the stands, Tony and the Cowboys make not be winning anything either.

"Oh, I got a message for her when we make the playoffs," Terrell warned, "Just stay tuned."

No doubt that message will be something very much like "STAY HOME".

Katie Holmes tell the new issue of Parade that hubby Tom Cruise's kids with Nicole Kidman call her "mom". Now, normally I wouldn't really see a problem with that -- it's actually sort of sweet -- except for the fact that Nicole just recently gave an interview in which she says that Connor and Isabella don't even call her mom.

“My kids don’t call me mommy, they don’t even call me mom. They call me Nicole, which I hate and tell them off for it," Nic told the UK's GMTV.

So, why the heck are they calling Tom's new chippy wife "mumsy"? It's not like Katie raised them -- she's only been around a couple of years. That just doesn't seem right now, does it?

Nicole needs to give those kids a talking to.

The San Antonio Spurs player, and Eva Longoria's husband, has filed a $20 million lawsuit against X-17, which first broke the story of the alleged affair. According to TMZ.com, the suit claims that the photo agency defamed Tony.

"X17 had to know that the story was false, or at the very least, it had to have entertained serious doubts about the credibility of its supposed source." The suit alleges that the paparazzi agency never bothered to "verify the information with Mr. Parker, Ms. Longoria, any of their representatives or....anyone else who might have knowledge of the truth or falsity of the allegations." It also reiterates what Eva and Tony have been saying all along: "Tony Parker has never had sexual relations with a woman named Alexandra Paressant."

So, does this big expensive lawsuit change any of your minds? Or is Tony just filing all the paperwork to make his story look really good?

According to Usmagazine.com, the newly-engaged Jennifer was asked to pose for Playboy, but the actress decided against it. Her rep tells the website that "there was an offer, but she declined."

Good for Jen. I have nothing against Hugh Hefner's mag (yes, I've seen it once or twice), but I think if she did decide to do it, it would primarily be because stupid people were ragging on her weight. I've always liked that girl, she seems sweet, doesn't go bone-headed things in public and has a good head on her shoulders.

Love the J-Love.

I was wondering when we would hear how Britney Spears's dad, Jamie, felt about Jamie Lynn's big baby news. We know he was "shocked", but how does he really feel about his baby having a baby and telling the world by announcing it to a tabloid?

As you can expect, he's not exactly ga-ga over this development. A source close the Spears family says that Daddy Spears is "furious" that ex wife Lynne allowed their daughter to sell the story to Ok!, who is known for handing out the big bucks for exclusives of this caliber. "He put his foot down and refused to take any money and 'profit off of his children,'" the source says of Jamie. "Lynne didn't care."

The insiders tell Usmagazine.com that Jamie is "devastated" by the news of the pregnancy. He's "extremely depressed" and "feels Jamie Lynn ruined her life."

Can you blame him? All Jamie Lynn needed to do was not get pregnant by some random guy and she would have been the golden child.

So X-17 was following Britney Spears around last night (like always) and when one of the photographers asked the pop mom how she felt about about Jamie Lynn's pregnancy, Britney laughed and said "My sister's not pregnant -- whatever."

You can watch the video here -- my favorite part is when the paparazzo says "I know you're happy -- it's good to be an aunt."

"This is going to kill her," a friend of Brit's tells People.com. "In the end, she'll be supportive, but this is a big shock."

Stay tuned for more on Brit's reaction to the news...

UPDATE:
A rep for Britney tells E! News exclusively that the pop star has heard the news and "wishes her sister nothing but the best and asks for privacy during this time."

Jamie Lynn put herself on the cover of a tabloid. Privacy shmivacy.

Britney Spears is going to be pissed!!

A source for PageSix.com says Brit's ex, Kevin Federline, knew about ex sister-in-law, Jamie Lynn Spears's, pregnancy on Monday. As of Tuesday night, Britney was still in the dark about the latest family drama.

"Kevin knew before Britney that Jamie Lynn is pregnant," a K-fed "family insider" said. "In fact, Britney's mom, Lynne, told Kevin about it on Monday, because Lynne wanted Kevin to be prepared when Britney found out."

Oooooh. Not going to go over well with the Britster.

"We're waiting for the fallout from Britney," the insider added. "Kevin is sure Britney will flip out and blame her mom and dad."

Can't wait!

"Smile" singer, Lily Allen is expecting her first child, her rep confirmed to People.com. The dad is Chemical Brothers' Ed Simons, who Lil has been dating since September.

"As the pregnancy is at a very, very early stage, the couple ask that you respect their privacy," Lily's peeps said in a statement. "The couple will be making no further comment but they are obviously both thrilled by the news."

Lily's had a big year so far -- she's been arrested for kicking a member of the paparazzi, lost her U.S. work Visa and dogged Lindsay Lohan. She's also known to be a bit of a drinker, so let's hope that's put to rest -- at least for the next nine months.

Congrats, kids!

New babies all around!

Grey's Anatomy alum Chris O' Donnell and his wife, Caroline, welcomed their fifth child, daughter Maeve Frances O'Donnell. The McBaby, who was born on Dec.10, was 8lbs. and joins sister, Lily, 8, and brothers Chip, 7; Charlie, 4; Finley, 1. "Everyone's happy," the actor's rep tells People.com. "Mother and baby are doing great."

Also celebrating a new family member is CNN's Campbell Brown, who welcomed her first child, a boy, with husband Dan Senor, on Tuesday. Eli James Senor was born at exactly 10 a.m. and also weighed 8 lbs. "Eli and his mom are doing great," Dan said. "We are thrilled."

Congrats to all!

"Tony adamantly and unconditionally denies ever having laid eyes on this woman, let alone having had an affair with her," says Tony's lawyer. "The allegations of the supposed affair are entirely false and fabricated." He goes on to say that, on behalf of Tony and Eva, he will "pursue all legal remedies against those making such false accusations."

Meanwhile, The Parkers are still lovin' it up out in public.

Okay, so maybe I'm coming around and starting to believe that the French model is a liar, but the statement that Tony's lawyer gave reminded me of a line from the fabulous Grease. You know at the bonfire, when Danny pretends to be all cool and not in love with Sandy, so she throws her pom-poms at him and says, "I wish I never laid eyes on you!"? Then Kenickie says, "I bet that's not all she laid on you."

I just think it was a poor choice of words.

Jamie's twelve weeks along with Casey Aldridge's baby and the baby was not planned. "It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," Jamie Lynn told OK!, according to the Associated Press. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he."

Britney's little sis took a home test then went to the doctor to confirm she was expecting, but waited two more weeks before telling her parents -- which she did right before Thanksgiving. "I needed to work out what I would do for myself before I let anyone's opinion affect my decision," she told the mag. "Then I told my parents and my friends. I was scared, but I had to do what was right for me."

When she did break the news to Jamie and Lynne Spears they just about lost their minds. "I didn't believe it because Jamie Lynn's always been so conscientious," Lynne said. "She's never late for her curfew. I was in shock. I mean, this is my 16-year-old baby."

Oh yeah, and Lynne's book on parenting is "delayed indefinitely," according to her publisher. Ya think?

Breathe.

I'm sorry. My head has officially exploded! Listen very carefully. Jamie Lynne Spears, the 16-year-old sister of Britney Spears, is pregnant. The father is her 19-year-old boyfriend, Casey Aldridge, who she has been dating for a while and first met at church.

Breathe.

Jamie Lynn is on the cover of the new OK! which hit stands tomorrow. Inside Jamie and her mother, Lynn, have a six-page spread, spilling all about the expecting teenager.

Jamie currently stars on Nickelodeon's, "Zoey 101" and the kid's network has this to say about this --for lack of a better word -- shocking development:

"We respect Jamie Lynn's decision to take responsibility in this sensitive and personal situation. We know this is a very difficult time for her and her family, and our primary concern right now is for Jamie Lynn's well being."

And if you're wondering what Britney had to say about all of this, according to TMZ.com, she had yet to learn that she's about to become an aunt.

To sum up, I'd like to share with you what my husband said when I told him Britney's sister was preggers, because I think he really captured the essence of this all. And his words were:

"That's awesome."

During yet another custody hearing today concerning Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's boys, a court commissioner made no changes to the current custody agreement -- which means Britney's not getting anymore time than she has, with Sean and Jayden, until, at least, sometime in 2008.

The commish postponed the next hearing, originally scheduled for January, to February.

Kev will retain temporary custody, with Brit getting limited visits. Sorrell Trope, Brit’s poor, sad attorney, declined to comment after the hearing.

What could he possibly say? That it's unfair? That Brit has been working hard to clean up her image and show she's serious about taking care of those kids?

I mean, he could say that, but we would all just laugh.

Amy Winehouse was arrested Monday in London "in connection with an investigation into perverting the course of justice."

Amy was questioned about an alleged plan to derail a criminal case against her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, who is currently in jail. The singer's rep told People.com, "I can confirm that she did go in voluntarily to be interviewed and was placed under arrest, as is common practice in the U.K., before being questioned."

Amy was forced to give fingerprints and a saliva swab to police. "Any person arrested is required to give both DNA and fingerprints," says a police spokeswoman.

Wonder what they found in her saliva? Half of London could probably smoke that sample and get high.

Amy was released soon after, pending further investigation, and is due back for more questioning in early March.

In the new issue of Blender, the lady of the Black Eyed Peas says that everywhere she goes somebody brings up the fact that she had a little accident while performing on stage.

"I was late, so I didn't go to the restroom before I went onstage," Fergie explained. "It was horrible, but, whatever. It happened. It's like there's one or two things the public knows about every famous person," she says. "With me, everyone knows I wet my pants onstage and had a crystal-meth addiction. That sucks. You have to laugh."

I definitely have to laugh -- and I will.

The other thing we all know about Fergie is that she's lucky enough to go to bed every night with Las Vegas looker Josh Duhamel.

"We're practically married, anyway," she says of why she's in no rush for a ring. "I'm madly in love with him. He understands how to treat a woman and give me respect."

Sure, rub it in. You may have Josh, Fergielicious, but at least we make it to the bathroom. Right, girls? That's what I keep telling myself anyway.

"Christina has a C-section scheduled for January 10 but she might need to push the date of the delivery up," said the insider.

As for names, Christina is said to be considering "Jackson Jake", but she and hubby Jordan Bratman also like "Max".

What do you think Christina and Jordan should name Baby Boy Bratman?

.

Okay, I warned you.

Em's mom, Debbie Nelson is releasing a tell-all book, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. In it, Deb insists that her "tortured" son made up a whole lot of the tough childhood stories he tells in his music, in order to succeed in rap. PageSix.com obtained the introduction of the book. Here's taste:

"After his first album, Infinite, flopped, he reinvented himself as white trailer trash with a crazy welfare mom. I was shocked when I first heard the lyrics... but he constantly reassured me it was all a big joke... I went along with it for Marshall's sake."

Debbie says now, after years of being attacked both verbally and physically by her son's fans, she is ready to shed some light on the "real story". "This book is my way of setting the record straight," she explains.

Some other interesting tidbits from Em's mom? The rapper was a total mama's boy "who was so jealous of his mother's new man, he wouldn't let him sleep with her on their wedding night (creepy); he beat his mother up on his 23rd birthday; and was 'so strung out,' he doesn't remember 1999."

Talk about a family throwing each other under the bus -- or, in this case, a trailer.

Well, Tara continues to party it up -- and come crashing down -- as the actress took a bad spill in Bali this past weekend. Tara was allegedly treated at a local hospital for cuts and bruises after a wild night out. X17 reported that she “fell accidentally while out late at night partying” and was treated at a hospital before returning to her hotel to recover.

Tara's peeps, naturally, say, "no, no, no" -- she didn't go to the hospital, although pics of her with scratches on her knees and elbows have surfaced.

Her rep never said she didn't get fall-down drunk, people! She just said she didn't go to the hospital. Actually, I'm surprised that, given Tara's recent weight loss, she didn't completely break in half when she hit the ground.

"There was an image of me as this kind of cute ’n’ cuddly guy, which, in as far as it got me laid, I didn’t mind it too much. People said, ‘Does it bother you that girls want to sleep with you because you’re famous?’ That’s a tough one. Lemme think about that. No.”

--- Michael J. Fox, to January's Esquire, on being a teen heartthrob

Matthew McConaughey's beautiful face was cut up during fight training for his new movie, The Grackle. Matt needed stitches over his eye, as he's been doing some UFC training to prepare for his new role as a brawler. According to Variety, Matt "hires himself out for $250 to settle disputes for people who can't afford a lawyer," in the comedy. "Harsh language and quick fists are his weapons of choice."

Get well soon, Matt! And, as for the scar, it'll probably just make him hotter.

Why isn't this guy Britney Spears's best friend?

The director of Britney's latest video, Wayne Isham, has nothing but love for the troubled pop star, as he says working with the Britster is like a dream. "On set she was very professional, excited to work and beautiful as always." he gushed. "I was impressed with her focus as she choreographed the dance herself. Her endurance was remarkable, as we had a long day."

This was the second video Wayne and Brit did together -- he also directed her in "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" -- and, from the sound of it, he'll be back for more. "She almost outlasted me, which is amazing," he said. "It was a pleasure to work with her again."

I know absolutely nothing about this guy, but I'm pretty sure Britney should marry him.

Heroes star Ali Larter and her boyfriend, Hayes MacArthur, got engaged over the weekend. "It's true," a rep for the actress told People.com. "They're thrilled."

Ali had said in the past that she knew this dude was "the one" right off the bat and that she was "madly in love." She says her man "brought light to my life. I feel lucky every morning when I wake up and see him."

Ah, love. Congrats!

So, now Pam Anderson and Rick Salomon say they've talked it over and the divorce is off. They apparently had a huge fight last week, which led Pam to file a claim for dissolution of marriage. Now TMZ.com says that everything is back to being just perfect between the two crazies.

Pam just posted this quick note on her blog:

"P.S. We're working things out."

That's it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back to tell you that they're back off very soon. Perhaps before the end of the day.

Since Owen Wilson's suicide attempt, that some speculate had something to do with his breakup with former co-star Kate Hudson, Kate has yet to speak publicly about her ex and his health. In the new issue of Vogue, Kate opens up about how she feels about the actor, plus her failed marriage to rocker Chris Robinson and their son, Ryder.

“Owen is such a lovely person, and I love him dearly,” she says of her troubled ex. “And I wish him beautiful things — health and everything that he desires in life.”

As for her realization that her marriage to Chris just wasn't working, the actress says, "We had Ryder, and we both sort of looked at each other and went, ‘Something’s off." She called the divorce "the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my life. The process of discovering with somebody that you love that you don’t work is so painful.

“And thank goodness I did it with Chris," she continued. "We helped each other through it. Now we’re both single and since the day we separated, we talk multiple times.”

So, after a tumultuous year, how is dealing? “It was just an extremely giant sort of leap. I definitely feel like I’ve grown up a lot.”

Pamela Anderson and latest hubby, Rick Salomon, are over. On Dec. 14, Pam filed a claim for dissolution of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences.

In a blog entry she posted Monday, Pam said nothing of the split with her hubby of two months, but did say she was leaving her magic show in Las Vegas. The former Baywatch babe said she was going to -- gasp! -- stay home and be a mom! She wrote:

"I'll do a few stage appearances soon/Europe- Wild surprises/legendary stages-to fulfill the exhibitionist in me-that deal is done- but committing to years in Vegas-8-10 shows a week is not going to work for my family- I've never made decisions based on money- and I'd hate to start now- I'm going to work on my dream now- and stay Home--!!!"

As for Rick, he'll join Pam's other exes Tommy Lee and Kid Rock, presumably in some sort of future battle royale.

What do you think of Nic's outfit? Love it or hate it? Do tell.

Jessica Simpson's man had the worst game of his career yesterday, as his Dallas Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 10-6. The quarterback threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball twice, as Jess looked on in her cute pink jersey. The commentator, Joe Buck, even said, "It's never easy to play in front of your girlfriend."

How embarrassing for Tony!

But this isn't the first time a blonde caused a major distraction for the football player. Tony's worst game before Sunday? The one his then-girlfriend Carrie Underwood attended last December. And don't think the Dallas fans aren't noticing the trend. According to the Dallas Morning News, Tony was heckled outside the arena last night by a female fan who shouted, "Worry about the game, not your girlfriend!"

Burn!

This Dallas movie seems like it's cursed. Maybe they should just let us remember the primetime soap with the whole "Bobby Ewing in the shower" thing and move on.

Page Six is reporting that John Travolta, who was starring the film as J.R., has been let go and replaced by Ben Stiller. Sounds weird, right? But insiders say that the directors have decided to go in a different direction with the film and make it more of a "comedic, behind-the-scenes" movie instead of the originally intended drama.

Though a rep for Ben says he was neither offered or accepted the part, insiders say John was fired and "was given a nice seven-figure 'gift' to go away quietly. He also got five family members roles in the movie, and they aren't going to be in it now, either."

John's rep refused to comment, but a friend of his confirmed, "He is not doing the movie. They've gone in a different direction than was originally intended. I don't know about any 'gift,' and I don't think the family member thing is correct."

This is the latest cast change in a slew of others, as Shirley MacLaine, Luke Wilson and Jennifer Lopez were also dropped from the cast last year.

Sounds like a complete bust -- if it ever gets made at all.

"They are absolutely delighted they have a daughter," the actress's rep told People. "It's a lovely Christmas present for the family."

The baby girl, who was born late Saturday night, joins her big brother, four-year-old Billy.

It's been a week of good news for the family, as both Helena and Tim were just nominated for a Golden Globe for Sweeney Todd. "We were talking about inducing, and Tim got a call from his assistant," Helena told the mag, before the baby arrived. "I do look like a globe, so it's kind of funny. I am very round."

Congrats to the family!

It's hard to believe that we've come to an end," she told the audience. "It's a pleasure to perform for you, but I'm extremely passionate to be a mother," she said, explaining why she was putting a bow on the five-year run.

Celine revealed to the crowd that she actually wanted to stop the show when her son was born, but planning for the extravaganza was already so far into production. "I wanted to be more successful as a mother than as a singer," she said.

Her last hurrah was extremely touching, as she cried during the performance of Titanic's "My Heart Will Go On," and, after her final number, her husband, Renee Angelil, and her 7-year-old son, Renee Charles walked on stage for a family hug.

"It was a wonderful adventure," Celine said, after the final number.

Now, Celine plans on taking the show on the road, as she'll kick off a tour next year, while Bette Midler will take her place in the Vegas theater with her new gig, "The Showgirl Must Go On."

Hopefully Celine will find the time to finally cut her kid's hair. I mean, really, it's a little ridiculous.

The flick, which portrays Will as the last human survivor on earth, after a plague wipes out the rest of the population, is a complete action flick, which most likely brought guys, girls and kids to the theaters. Or maybe this December weekend is just really lucky for Will, as he also had the No.1 movie at this time last year, with a $26.5 million debut for The Pursuit of Happyness.

“It’s nice to be in the Will Smith business,” said Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros. “He is just the No. 1 box-office star in the world today.”

That's right. Will is a great actor, a great dad, completely hot, hot, hot -- in a nutshell, the guy is legend -- wait for it -- ary.

Ashley Tisdale, one of the stars of Disney's crazy popular movie, debuted her new look at the Z100 Jingle Ball concert to benefit Autism Speaks at New York's Madison Square Garden Friday, after having a nose job to fix a deviated septum. Ash performed even though she was still having some pain from the surgery. You can totally see that she's still a bit swollen under the eyes.

After having the procedure the star says she's done with going under the knife, telling People she "never wants to have plastic surgery again. I don't believe in plastic surgery. I really think natural is more beautiful. This was not about changing me. I am comfortable with myself."

So, what do you think of Ashley's new schnoz? I think she looks really natural and pretty. Maybe even more natural than before. Is that possible?

Isn't that bizarre? Didn't Lindsay work for Disney in the past? Couldn't she have called someone she used to know to get her pal tickets -- does she not have any connections in Hollywood left?

Anyway, Lindsay called the radio station, which was running a contest to give tickets to the listener who could get the most famous person to call. After telling the deejays, "Yes, it's really me." Linds opened up about her post-rehab life.

“I think that my life is different now and it’s changed and I’m growing up and it was time to grow up,” she said. “I’ve gone through a lot and I’m just a different person now.”

LiLo says she's also trying to stay away from the gossip of the tabloids. “I don’t engage [in that],” Lindsay said. “I don’t read it, because that just kind of puts other thoughts in your head and it brings you down, so I don’t play into it.”

When asked how things were going with her family, including her relationship with her yakety-yak father, Lindsay sounded super positive. “It’s amazing,” she said. “Everything is going so well.”

So, what's next? Another album, which she's working on with producer J.R. Rotem, which may or may not be why she's been out with him, like ever night. “I’ve been in the studio and it’s going really well," she told the radio guys. "I’m really excited because it’s going to be more urban pop… It’s exciting. It’s good to be back in the studio.”

Then she's off to save the world. “I’m so trying to go to Africa, and go overseas and work with some children ‘cause I really love children and it would be nice to give back,” she said.

Okay, okay, so I know you're really dying to know if Lindsay's pal won the tickets?

She did. Lindsay was deemed more famous than other "celebs" that called in -- Lee Majors, Slash, and the "Soup Nazi" from Seinfeld. Quite the honor.

An old friend of mine alerted me to one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.

Alec Baldwin has posted a blog entry on The Huffington Post.com, inviting everyone to his apartment in NYC for the Golden Globes, should the writer's strike continue. Here's a little bit of the 30 Rock man's humorous invite:

Barring any imminent settlement of the WGA strike, the 2007 Golden Globe Awards will be held at my apartment on the Westside of Manhattan this year. I have cleared all of this with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The HFPA makes only one simple request and that is that you pre-order your meal selection NO LATER than Friday, January 4th, 2008. The choices are as follows:

1) Tuna Salad, whitefish salad or egg salad (choice of one)

2) Ham, turkey, bologna, swiss cheese (choice of two)

3) Potato salad, macaroni salad, cole slaw (choice of two)

4) Pickles, relish, mustard, mayo, rye bread...all complimentary.

5) Beverages are as follows: Liter of red or white wine or 6 (six) cold bottles of Amstel (promotional) complimentary.

All other cocktails will be cash bar. (Sprite, Coke, Strawberry YooHoo and Diet Peach Snapple are complimentary)

Alec may have a bad temper, but nobody said he wasn't funny. For the rest of his entry, click here.

Happy weekend, everybody!

Mark Vincent Kaplan, Kevin Federline's lawyer, is just about at the end of his rope with Britney Spears and her flakey ways. I say, "Join the funky bunch, Marky Mark." Who isn't?

"It's not fourth grade where you get a doctor's note and it's all OK," Mark told People.com, about Britney being "too sick" to make it to his office for her scheduled deposition earlier in the week. "She was ordered to attend. And if there's a legitimate reason for her not to attend she would have to establish that."

"I'm not mad – I can move forward with her or without her," he continued. "But there will be a request to the court to address some kind of remedy to what I see as a willful non-appearance."

As for the terrible anxiety the hoards of paparazzi were causing Britney, which supposedly kept her from feeling safe enough to leave her house that morning, Mark quipped, "All I know is that in my office there were no paparazzi."

Seriously, we're with you, Mark. Britney needs to grow up and act like -- gasp! -- an ADULT.

I was absolutely throwing things at my television when Ryan Seacrest announced that Chris was knocked out of the Idol competition, taking only fourth place, but now, with this news and his Grammy nods, all I'm throwing is confetti. Go Chris!

We're not promising we can get George Clooney to show up on your mom's doorstep, but we have put together the Celebrity Addict's Gift Guide, which is sure to give you a bunch of great ideas for the celeb junkie in your life. Or send the link to someone who just might be looking to get you a gift. You know, like Santa.

Happy shopping!

According to People.com, Tony visited Eva at a photo shoot early in the day. "They held hands and smiled," said one witness. Then later, as the Lakers game took on the San Antonio Sours, Tony (who's injured) sat on the sidelines, while Eva sat in the stands cheering on her man's team.

After the Spurs's loss, the couple headed out to dinner with friends, looking like they didn't have a care in the world. Tony doted on his wife at the sushi restaurant, holding her close and kissing her on the forehead. A source close to the couple insists, "They are perfectly happy, despite everything that's going on."

I've already told you what I think -- I don't care who you are -- there's no way they are "perfectly happy" while this is hitting the fan.

"The only thing we have in common is that we freely expose our tattoos!"

-- Transformers star Megan Fox, on constantly being compared to Angelina Jolie

Megan, who's engaged to 90210-er Brian Austin Green, was overheard complaining about the comparison at Hollywood Life's Breakthrough of the Year Awards.

I don't know, Megan, physically there are A LOT worse people to be compared to. How 'bout you take your long dark hair, and your pouty ruby reds and move along, kay?

The sexy pair have been living it up lately, as their three kids have been spending some time with their grandparents. Gotta love the grandparents -- they are saviors. Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are staying with Anthony and Jacqueline Adams, Posh's parents, as she and David tour with the Spice Girls. Posh told Britain's The Sun that she and her hubby are partying it up.

"We've had two nights out, which have been really messy and we are loving it," Victoria admitted. "We are behaving like rock stars. We're having the time of our lives. It hasn't been like this for years — since before our first son was born."

Hence their night at a Vegas strip club.

Doesn't that sound fun, though? I wish my husband and I could hop on a jet, fly around the world and party "like rock stars", at least for a while.

Heath Ledger's ex, Michelle Williams, was spotted having a cozy NYC dinner with Ry the other night. The pair chowed at Piadina and snuck outside together for a smoke. A spy says that Ryan was "smiling and gazing" at Michelle, but reps for both say they weren't on a date, but just discussing an upcoming film project they're working on together.

Just the thought of Ryan smiling and gazing at me makes my heart race. I can't imagine that Michelle is immune to his sexiness. Go for it, girl!

Lindsay Lohan is, once again, trying to have a singing career. Lilo was back in the recording studio earlier in the week, working with Britney Spears's non-babydaddy, J.R. Rotem. Sources say Lindsay's third album (she's had two other albums?) is rumored to be titled Nobody's Angel. Fitting.

Lindsay dad, and non-stop talker, Michael Lohan, told the media that his daughter and Britney's ex have “actually known each other for a while, just from being in the business together and crossing paths at events.” Which is really code for "they've partied into the night together, and possibly, have done some illegal stuff in a random bathroom somewhere."

But J.R. is a reputable producer -- he's worked with 50 Cent and Destiny's Child -- so maybe this album will actually be somewhat decent. Personally, I think Lindsay should stick to acting. You?

Where's the party?!

Twenty-five years after her first single was released, and her first year eligible, Madonna will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008. Madonna has sold over 200 million albums worldwide, but the R&R Hall of Fame prez says that's not why Madge will be a permanent fixture in the Cleveland museum.

"(The voters) don't really look at album sales and ticket sales as being the defining category of why someone gets inducted, it's really their influence and their place in history," Joel Peresman said.

That's a pretty cool honor. Also getting inducted this year -- one of my absolute faves -- John Mellencamp. Oh, how I love the "Pink Houses".

The inductees will be honored at a ceremony in New York on March 10.

Want to get just a tiny taste of Britney Spears's new video for "Piece of Me"? You know, the video that she showed up 12 hours late to?

Anyway, I watched it and it's not really that bad -- it might be a little bit good. She looks pretty and the production is decent. Watch it here and tell me what you think below.

According to X17online.com, they have the proof that Eva Longoria's husband was, at least, communicating with Alexandra. The texts were originally written in French but, lucky for me, have been translated. Here they are:

Liam was out and about yesterday, with his mom and dad, Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott. The family was shopping for a Christmas tree, as Liam gets ready to celebrate his first holiday season.

That kid is more adorable than David Silver in the later years of 90210.

For one, your girl, Angelina Jolie. Angie scored a Best Actress nod for her gripping portrayal in A Mighty Heart. Also celebrated was, my boy, George Clooney, who is nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for Michael Clayton.

Seven films, I repeat, seven films, were nominated for Best Drama, including Keira Knightley's (who got a nom) Atonement, which leads the nominations with seven, and Denzel Washington's (one for him, too) American Gangster.

Steven Spielberg will be taking home the very special Cecil B. DeMille Award for his "outstanding contribution to the entertainment field" courtesy of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Get the full list of nominees here. The Golden Globes telecast is set for Jan. 13, if the writer's strike doesn't screw it up.

Inside, Katie absolutely gushes about being married to Tom Cruise, and all it means to her. She says falling for Tom was a whirlwind. "It happened quickly, but I was certain it was what I wanted," Suri's mom says. "I never felt overwhelmed. I thought, Okay, good. Here we go." And the connection, she says, was immediate. "It happened in an instant," she says of falling in love. "I still get like that, 'Whew.' When you fall in love, it's as though time stops. It's all-encompassing."

Katie says that she does her best to express to Tom how much he's given to her. "I try every day to let him know how much I love him. It gets better and better. It has made my life."

She certainly sounds like a woman head-over-heels in love. I remember hearing somewhere that when Katie was growing up, way before she was a star, she had the biggest crush on Tom (who didn't?) and hoped one day she would marry him. Talk about dreams coming true.

Reese is a self-proclaimed Type A personality -- she even named her production company Type A Films -- Vince, on the other hand, is more like a Type D. "Vince rolls onto set in the morning looking like he just came in from a night out, while Reese will arrive early looking camera-ready," an on-set source tells Ben Widdicombe of Gatecrasher. "Then Reese tries to force Vince into blocking out each scene and running through their lines as Vince tries to convince her that he's an ad-libber and wants to play around and see where the scene goes."

Even though they have very different methods, the filming of the flick remains on schedule. "She's a one-take perfectionist and Vince likes to try it a few different ways," laughs the spy. "Sometimes Vince will be standing behind her and he has this look on his face that he just wants to kill her!"

Can't you totally see that with these two?

Sources say that producers "are so convinced the first will be a hit," they're now working on a script for a follow-up. "They are exercising the sequel option in all of the stars' contracts . . . They want it to be a franchise and think they can stretch it over at least three movies."

It took a whole lot of work to get these ladies back on set, so I won't hold my breath for two more movies, but I'm happy to entertain the thought. I don't think I could ever get tired of Carrie & Co. -- I would watch Sex and the City: The Golden Girl Years, if they made it.

Not very exciting -- but it seems like the party held after the show aired was a lot more eventful. Page Six says that Heidi walked the red carpet but left immediately after, because Lauren didn't want Spencer around -- and Heidi and Spencer are far from over. "That's bullsh*t. They are completely together," said the spy. At the finale after-party at Koi, "We headed straight for the bar, and Spencer walks right by us from the bathroom back to his table with Heidi," said the source. "Within five minutes they were hustled out because Lauren and her entourage were coming over to Koi and wouldn't be in the same room as them."

Not that Lauren would have noticed, as she had a tad too much to drink. "There was a girl in the booth who was kinda slumped over. And it was Lauren." L.C. finally asked the executive producer, "in a really sad, drunk voice, 'Can I please go home?' "

And finally, When Brody was asked if we could see he and Spence reconcile in the next season, the Lauren-lover replied, "F*ck that! I will never be friends with Spencer again."

Really, Brody? What if we said we'd give you your own reality show about a reconnecting with Spence? Then what would you say?

The ever-so-hot David Beckham and his wife, Victoria, generated a little heat over the weekend, as sources say the marrieds had a little fun in a Vegas strip club.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Posh and Becks spent three hours in a private room at the Spearmint Rhino. Vicki's rep says they "did go to a strip club with a group of friends to celebrate one of the friend's birthday." The couple were in Sin City for a bunch of Spice Girls concerts -- and it certainly sounds like they spiced things up.

Sigh. I wish I was there.

Riiiiight.

Eva and Tony are rushing to deny rumors that anything is wrong in their marriage, despite the new allegations that Tony was sleeping with Alexandra Paressant, only two months after the basketball player and the Desperate Housewives star married.

Tony told People.com, "I love my wife. She's the best thing in my life, and I have never been happier." Followed by Eva adding, "Tony has been nothing short of the perfect husband."

Uh-huh. Look, I'm all for believing in love and what-not but, usually, where there's smoke there's fire. And those denials seem a little too perfectly packaged for me.

Sorry, Tony. Don't believe ya.

Uh-oh. That didn't take long.

A French model is claiming she had an affair with Eva Longoria Parker's husband, NBA star Tony Parker -- just two months after they Tony and Eva got married!

What's worse (if possible) is that Alexandra Paressant told X17online that she met Tony at the couple's wedding in France! How's that? Alexandra says she was the date of French soccer player Thierry Henry and found a way to exchange numbers with Tony.

What?! At his wedding?!

Apparently, after months of phone calls and text messages, Tony and Alex met up in Paris for a little hanky panky in September, and then again in San Antonio in October.

Alexandra also said that Tony revealed intimate details about his sex life with Eva. "We had room service. He said that Eva sexually speaking does not want to do certain things. She do [sic] not want to make love in front of a mirror, does not like certain position [sic] and thinks that sperm gives acne," the model said.

Speechless!

When asked about the allegations, Eva's rep carefully stated they had "no comment at this time."

Not even a denial. That does look good for Tony. What a pig.

Shocking, I know, but Britney Spears did not show up for her scheduled deposition this morning.

According to People.com, the Britster couldn't meet with Kevin Federline's lawyers because she was too sick. "I was told of a general [medical] condition, and she felt she couldn't attend," Mark Vincent Kaplan said of the pop wreck.

Britney's friend, Sam Lufti, (you know, the one who sometimes goes by Osama) sent an email to People.com that said, "She's sick, both physically and high anxiety. Millions of press outside. It's too much."

The deposition has been rescheduled, but the new date is being kept a secret. K-Fed's peeps say they "will pursue" a court sanction against Britney for failing to show.

The saddest part of it all is that Britney can't seem to learn a lesson to save her life. Now she'll have to through the anticipation all over again -- and it's not going to be any better the next time. Suck it up and get it over with, Brit.

Good news for drunk boy Shia LaBeouf, who was arrested last month for refusing to leave a Chicago drugstore. Shia showed up this morning in Chi-town to hear that he's been let off the hook, as Walgreens has decided not to press charges against the actor for being wasted and acting stupid.

They did, however, ask him to due all of his future prescription business with Rite Aid.

Oh, baby! Pam Anderson and her husband du jour are coming to a television near you.

Yep, Pam and Rick Salomon have scored their own reality show, according to Us Weekly, that will air on the E! network. "These two don’t have any boundaries, which is perfect for reality stars,” says a source we'll call Mr. Obvious, of these two sex tape veterans.

So what should we expect of a show based on two nuts who married each other after dating three weeks? "Think Nick and Jessica's show [MTV's Newlyweds], but with a lot more sex and a crazier family life," said another insider.

That's freakin' music to my ears. Helllllooooo Tivo!

Coming in right behind B&A is TomKat's, Tom Cruise and "Kate" Holmes.

Hmmm.... Not so much.

Anyway, for more of Us Weekly's Best & Worst of 2007 -- including my favorite -- the Top 10 Meltdowns, hurry, hurry, hurry to your local magazine pusher now!

Paris has created her own line of champagne, Rich Prosecco, and will be in Berlin tomorrow for the European launch of the new canned bubbly. It's an interesting choice for Paris, since she was sent to jail for violating probation on a DUI arrest -- but, somehow, still makes plenty of sense.

Tell me, any interest in tasting the Paris juice?

First up -- her new man. "Of course, I'm in love," the star of the new flick, P.S. I Love You says. "Or I wouldn't be in this relationship for as long as I've been. He's a great guy." The guy in question is Hil's former agent John Campisi, who she started seeing after her split from ex husband Chad Lowe.

Great, great, great, but here's what I found really interesting; Hilary is a bit of a health nut and tells the mag she takes 45 supplements daily as well as vitamin injections -- and has a slight addiction to working out.

“I have a really high metabolism," she said. "Exercise is also really important to me. I think it gives me more energy. I would rather sleep six hours and get an hour workout than sleep seven hours.”

45 supplements a day? Wow! I thought I was doing well if I got three sips of Vitamin Water in -- and I never want to work out in lieu of an extra hour of sleep. I'm suddenly feeling extremely unhealthy -- better go get that Vitamin Water...

I just love it when celebs give back simply out of the goodness of their heart.

Gwen Stefani has decided to start a college-scholarship fund for students affected by this fall's California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my [San Diego] show out of respect," Gwen said in a statement. "But then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution."

And, voila! -- the Gwen Stefani After-the-Fires Scholarship appears, which will benefit students who lost their homes or sources of income in the fires.

In addition to creating the fund, Gwen donated about $160,000 in proceeds from her Oct. 30 concert in San Diego to the San Diego Foundation fire-relief fund.

She's a good egg.

Doesn't it seem like we could actually give out prison-based awards, now that so many celebs have spent some time in jail? Well, if we did, Kiefer would win Most Popular, and Most Fan Mail, and, perhaps, Prisoner of the Year.

Last week, Kiefer was said to be doing his prison chores -- laundry, serving food, etc., and was deemed a "model prisoner." This week, the jail spokesman says the 24 star has received a boat-load of fan letters, shouting out their support to the actor, while he completes his 48-day sentence for his DUI arrest.

"The guy's been getting a ton of fan mail," says Officer John Balisan. "Easily more than 100 letters a day."

What's interesting is that Kiefer probably never reads his fan mail when he's not in jail -- he has people to do that -- but now, I bet, he's reading every single one. So, if you have something really important to tell him (like you want him to show up at your wedding), send it in a letter now! Maybe he'll even write back.

It's time for Britney Spears to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.

Brit is scheduled to undergo questioning by Kevin Federline's lawyers today, as part of their ongoing custody battle. A source close to the case says Britney's testimony will be taken under oath and is not to last more than one day. The grilling will take place at K-Fed's attorney's office.

So, what is she likely to be asked? Oh, just about everything from her drug use, her drinking, her terrible driving -- just about anything that will portray her as an unfit mother.

"A deposition can be emotionally draining, because Kevin's lawyer can ask very personal questions about her relationship with her kids – and she'll be under oath," an L.A. family lawyer explained to People.com.

It's not going to be a good day for Britney. I'm thinking she should stop by a church on the way to the lawyer's office and say a few thousand prayers.

Jessica Alba and her on-again boyfriend, Cash Warren, are having a baby! Her rep told People.com, "I confirm that Jessica and Cash are expecting a baby in late spring, early summer."

Wow! Totally blindsided by this.

Cash and Jessica broke up over the summer for a bit, after dating for two-and-a-half years, but were quickly back in each other's arms by the end of September. Maybe right around the time they found out they were having a baby?

Well, kudos for them for trying to make it work, but is anyone else as surprised as I am about this?

Ding! "Who has clogged arteries?"

Correct!

TMZ.com has learned that Alex has suffered a minor heart attack, but he is home and "resting comfortably." Which is the only reason why I made the little joke. Have no fear, he will be back in the studio for the show's next scheduled tapings in January.

He's going to be fine -- I'm well aware of how serious a heat attack is -- they don't have the expression, "I'm as serious as a heart attack" for nothing. So, please, don't start screaming at how insensitive I am. I'm really not. I was just joking around -- laughing is actually good for the heart. I wish Alex nothing but the speediest of recoveries.

If that bed (seemingly in the middle of nowhere) is rockin', don't come a-knockin'.

Do you remember Ryan Cabrera? He was Ashlee Simpson's boyfriend before she started dating Pete Wentz and the other boy from her band? He had that pop hit "On the Way Down" and Ash was the girl in his video? He was like a squeaky clean, teen hearthrob, making pre-pubescent school girls swoon?

Anyway, he's now dating Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, Riley Keough, but, more importantly, he's turrned into a freak! He sort of reminds me of that terrible Cisco Adler.

I guess it doesn't really matter, because he's hardly famous, but I just had to share my disappointment in his new choice of looks. It's like if Lance Bass decided to go Goth. It just wouldn't work.

David Beckham for Emporio Armani. Happy holidays to all!

Doctor's orders: Rhianna needs to shut up and rest.

The Umbrella singer has been advised by her physician to cancel a few upcoming tour dates in England, and take it easy for a bit. Information on what exactly is ailing Rhianna was not released, but she already bowed out of last Saturday's show in Nottingham, Monday night's gig in Birmingham and Tuesday's in Bournemouth.

Don't fret Rhi-lovers -- just hang on to your tickets until further notice. Rhianna wants you to know that she "appreciates the love and support of all her fans and wants nothing more than to see and connect with them."

Get well soon!

First off, Jen picked up pink and blue onesies: one monogrammed "princess," the other, "prince," before adding tons of very pricey baby loot to her "top secret" registry at posh boutique Petit Tresor. Some items on the list:

Also on hand for the festivities, Will's main man, Tom Cruise, who surprised his pal by showing up. "That kinda caught me off guard a little bit," The Fresh Prince admitted. But Tom said he came out to support his pal, who, he felt, was so deserving of the honor. "He's an extraordinary guy... he's truly an exceptional human being."

What's happening to the security in Hollywood? First David Blue from Ugly Betty gets mugged at gunpoint, and now word comes that Charlize Theron's home has been burglarized.

The LAPD has confirmed to Us Weekly that there is currently an investigation into a robbery at the Oscar winner's home in the Hollywood Hills.

"There was a break-in reported at her home sometime over the weekend between the 6th and 8th," said an officer. "There were no suspects seen by any witnesses. And the property that was taken is being evaluated by the homeowner."

There is no word on what has been taken from Charlize's home, but I bet they took her Oscar if it was there. I mean, if I 'm a robber and I see an Oscar (which I'm very unlikely to get on my own) I would totally take it home and give my acceptance speech in the mirror. You?

On the other hand, great news coming from TMZ.com. Sources say that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have called off their engagement! Who's shocked? Anyone, anyone? Bueller? An MTV insider tells the website that they are still a couple -- they're just not getting married -- which probably means they are waiting for the next season of The Hills to have the big breakup. Can't wait -- I so hope Heidi comes crawling back to Lauren.

Get the full recap of the season finale of The Hills at TV Cocktail.

Janice started out doing right on The Today Show, by defending Jennifer Love Hewitt's Hawaiian bikini photos -- you know the ones that had bloggers calling her overweight? Janice said Jen looked "healthy" and "not emaciated." Good, right? Sure, until she took a swing at her former boss, America's Next Top Model's Tyra Banks.

"You want to see someone who's fat? I'm sorry, Tyra, Tyra Banks is fat," she had the nerve to say. "This girl is not fat."

Today's Al Roker called Janice on her insult, at which point she attempted to convince everyone that she was only kidding. Let me tell you, people, she was so not kidding.

If I were Tyra I would gather up all the embarrassing outtakes of Janice from Top Model -- you know there must be a ton -- and make a nice feature length film out of it, entitled Hey Janice, Suck My Big, Fat Butt, You Melted Alien-Looking Has-Been. Catchy, isn't it?

It was a scary night for Ugly Betty's David Blue , who, after leaving a party filled with his castmates, was mugged at gunpoint, just outside the party's venue.

"It was amazing that only 10 feet away there was a window of people drinking and having a good time," David, who plays Cliff on the show, tells People.com of the robbery. "They got my house keys, too, so the past weekend felt a little creepy. But I'm good. I'm really lucky."

After posting the details on his Myspace account, a number of friends and co-workers contacted the actor to see if he needed anything. "I got e-mails from Michael Urie and other people from the show. I'm just humbled by their concern that I was okay and that everything would be okay."

The assailants have yet to be caught, but police say they have a solid lead.

I have problems, I know, but I love me a little RyGo. Enjoy!

Too doggone sweet!

The money they must spend on Drano...

Also reconnecting this weekend were exes Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Mary Louise Parker, who dated for six months earlier this year. Jeff and Mary stepped out together at the premiere of Jeffrey's new movie, P.S. I Love You, where they held hands on the red carpet.

When they first broke up in June, Jeff told People.com, "It just didn't work out. Wrong time in both our lives."

Maybe times have changed.

Also on hand for the big fight -- Denzel Washington, David Beckham, who chatted with Kid Rock, and Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale.

It's nice to see Brad and Angelina doing something a little less serious for once. It makes them seem a little more human and a little less obnoxious. In my eyes, anyway.

For the first time, Ops is publicly backing a candidate -- and she says it's for personal reasons. "This is very, very personal," talk show queen said. "I'm here because of my personal conviction about Barack Obama and what I know he can do for America. For the very first time in my life, I feel compelled to stand up and speak out for the man who I believe has a new vision for America." She adds, "I understand the difference between a book club and free refrigerators. I understand the difference between that and this critical moment in our nation's history."

Oprah was clear in why she feels so strongly about the junior senator from Illinois. "I believe that Barack Obama will bring statesmanship to the White House," she said. "I believe that he will lead with strength, conviction, honor and compassion."

As Oprah signed on for "Oprah-bama" tour, fellow Democrat John Edwards announced that Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon will join him on the campaign trail in Iowa.

Tell me, does it matter to you which stars support which candidates?

If it's disturbing for us to see what a mess Amy Winehouse is, imagine what it must be like for the people who actually know and love her.

Amy's mom, Janis Winehouse, wrote a letter to her troubled daughter, published in News of the World, urging the singer to come home, where she could get help.

"This letter is my way of making sure that you know that all you have to do is come to us, Amy, and we'll do everything in our power to get you well again," the distraught mom wrote. "After all, you are still my baby and you always will be. We want to help you, but we know that unless you want to be helped – unless you come to us – anything we tried would be in vain."

Amy, who was just nominated for six Grammys, was seen last week wandering the streets of London, at five in the morning, wearing just a bra and jeans.

"Wherever you are, whatever you need," her mom continued in the heartbreaking letter, "we're here for you day and night. I hope you know that."

Let's hope Amy reads the paper and goes home for the holidays.

Days after Lindsay was seen out late with the heiress' ex, Paris and Stavros were back in each other's arms, after flying down to Miami for a hot weekend together. According to PageSix.com, the couple took Stav's private jet down to Florida, where they were spotted drinking and making out at Miami's Mokai on Thursday night.

You may be wondering what happened to Paris' recent arm candy, aspiring model Alex Vaggo. Well, the paper says that Paris and Alex were never really dating, and they were just hanging out so that Paris could help Alex's career get off the ground.

Not to worry, I'm sure Lindsay will be ringing him up any minute now.

Don't send Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo a glass vase just yet.

Despite FoxNews.com's report that Jessica Simpson's ex and his girlfriend were planning a secret wedding in the Bahamas this weekend, Nick's rep told Us Weekly that the rumor is completely false. Nick's peeps say the singer is in Cincinnati working on his new NBC show Clash of the Choirs, as well as another show he is producing for MTV, while Vanessa is in Los Angeles.

I so don't care about these two anymore. I still like Nick -- I have a tiny crush on him, but Vanessa just annoys me. I'm only happy if there's a sex tape to talk about, when it comes to them.

Britney Spears has acquired a new hobby -- stealing.

Just weeks ago a report surfaced that the pop wreck had stolen a wig off a mannequin at a porn shop, and now Britney is continuing her five-finger discount spree, as she picked up a lighter and walked out of a gas station, without paying.

I know you Brit fans (Hi, Derora!) want to say that she just forgot to pay, but it's too bad Brit turned to the paparazzi cameras and yelled, "I stole something. Oh, I'm bad. Ohhhhh!"

Now the gas station attendant says he wants his cash. "Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I'm hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it," the Chevron owner told People.com. "I know she can afford to pay for it, but I'm not planning to file a police report. It's still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here."

Girl's got to her kicks somehow, right? Such a mess.

Well, my childhood crush has finally settled down and married girlfriend Renee Sloan. The couple tied the knot in a rooftop ceremony at a luxury high-rise Saturday in Los Angeles, People.com reports. The wedding was filmed for the second season of Scott's VH1 reality show, Scott Baio is 45 ... and Single.

Guests at the nups included, Renee's 18-year-old daughter, and the couple's newborn daughter.

Congrats to Scott and his new family -- let's hope he finds marriage as fascinating as I found him.

Justin Timberlake was one of Barbara Walters's most fascinating people of 2007 and the pop singer had some interesting words on his undercover lover, Jessica Biel, and about how sexy he is.

When Babs dove in to Justin's relationship with Jess, and asked if he thought this one will last, Justin replied, "Well, I’ll work on that!” with a laugh.

As for his sex appeal, Babs said, “Rolling Stone called you the new King of Sex. Do you think you’re sexy?”

“I’ll hold on to the title for as long as I can!” Justin cracked back. “Ya know, Brad, George, you guys may be the most beautiful whatever but... eat your heart out boys!”

Justin as compared to Brad Pitt and George Clooney? Oh, I don't think so. We're talking a boy versus men. And I think there is no way Justin will age as beautifully as B and G have. Talk me to when you're 40, Justin.

Ya think I'm still bitter?

Anyway, Dave gives me those good butterflies in my belly. I think he could be the love child of Adam Brody and Weekend at Bernie's Johnathan Silverman (if that were possible). Those dimples, that shy-looking smile -- he's just a sweet treat for the peepers.

La Stone definitely looked chic at LAX yesterday, but me thinks PETA would not be thrilled with that slab of fur that she's draped in (unless its fake, of course).

What's your take -- to fur or not to fur?

Goodfellas star Ray Liotta had his day in court yesterday and pleaded no contest to alcohol or drug-related reckless driving. He was sentenced to three years probation, is required to complete and anti-alcohol program, pay a bunch of fines and pay for the damage he did to the other cars.

According to the actor's attorney, Ray experienced unexpected drowsiness from prescription pills he was taking for a sports injury, which caused him to hit two parked cars in February.

I know Goodfellas was like a hundred years ago, but every time I look at Ray, all I can think is, "But, Karen, we needed that money. That was all we had!"

Okay, Cosmo lovers -- the Sex and the City movie has wrapped and the new trailer is here. It's quick, but all your faves make an appearance. There's even a smooch between Carrie and Big!

Watch it and get all psyched up for the flick, which hits theaters on May 30, 2008. It will be your Memorial Day Weekend indulgence. Enjoy!

Eva Mendes stripped down for a new PETA ad, as the actress admits that she never really thought about what she was putting on her bod until recently. “I wasn’t familiar with PETA early in my career. I remember having my first premiere in New York City and being so naive that I didn’t have a coat with me. My stylist sent me a fur wrap for the evening and I ignorantly wore it,” Eva told PETA. “PETA then wrote me a beautiful letter commenting on my less-than-educated choice. I was so impressed that I vowed to them and myself to never wear real fur on the red carpet or in my life again.”

Now Eva is using her celebrity (and her hot assets) to educate others. “I feel like in recent years, due to pop culture, fur has made a comeback. Some people still see wearing fur as glamorous and a sign of prosperity. Personally I think wearing a baby chinchilla says, ‘I’m ignorant,‘ vs. saying ‘I’m a badass,‘” she said. “I don’t think you can force people to change their attitudes, but you can help to educate them and to lead by example. There are way too many amazing faux fur options out there for people to still be wearing real fur. I want people to know that there are options; that killing a poor animal and wearing it isn’t cool.”

The problem with these ads is that most people can't get past the fact that there's a hot naked woman in the picture, to really get the message -- especially men. They look and think, "Naked, woman, sex," and not a thing about fur.

"The man has obviously not seen my ass."

-- a hilarious Julia Roberts, responding to a critic who called her performance in Charlie Wilson's War "matronly"

Now sources are saying that Ry is getting cozy again with actress Abbie Cornish, the girl who may or may not have been the reason for the Ryan/Reese split in the first place. The couple was alleged to have had a brief fling while co-starring in the upcoming movie Stop Loss (they both deny it), but according to the New York Daily News, the pair have now become more than just friends. A close pal says, "They are a real couple. [The relationship] has really grown. She's spending time with his kids- it's not like she's on the side. She's part of the family."

Believable, considering Abbie and Ry's kids were photographed Christmas shopping together last weekend. A spy told Us Weekly, "Ava seemed very comfortable with Abbie. Ava picked a wreath, and Abbie put it around her head as a joke. They both were laughing." Another source adds, "Going out together and leaking a few photos is their discreet way of letting the public know it's official. It's not like you can send out a press release about these things."

You can't? Why not? It would be so much easier. Anyway, do you think Reese cares?

Not a bad idea, trying to go incognito, considering people are constantly screaming at her that she's ruining the neighborhood with her paparazzi madness.

Anyway, Brit was accompanied by real estate agent Robert Edie, this young cute guy, who gave Brit his jacket when she got cold. After milling around town for a while, the couple headed back to the Four Seasons.

Of course Britney's agent is young and hot -- anything to fuel more rumors about her, right? I don't know, whenever I've looked for real estate my agent was either a woman in her late sixties or someone who looked like Carmela Soprano. Brit probably could have found someone who would have stirred up less talk -- but what fun would that be?

In the new issue, Hilary discusses the recent hot topic of body image -- and how she's battled with hers in the past.

"You lose some happiness when that's all you think about," she says about the number on the scale. "There definitely was a time, about a year and a half ago, when I was pretty obsessed with my body and my weight, but I'm better not stressing about my body all the time."

She adds, "It's not attractive when girls get super-skinny. Guys don't like it. Girls don't like you as much."

I think it's funny that she said, "Girls don't like you as much." It's so true. Silly, but true. Anyway, I'm not hating on Hilary for looking as good as she does. I kind of like her. You?

Carrie is also a vegetarian and she works out, doing cardio and using an exercise ball -- all "good for you" stuff -- but I could never write down everything I eat. I think my list would start off well with "Cheerios and skim milk," but then my kid wakes up and, instead of eating real meals for the rest of the day, I become the human Dustbuster, eating all of his scraps. Three tiny strawberry pieces here, two half-eaten bites of gummy grilled cheese, a handful of pasta from the seat of his high chair, four Dora the Explorer animal crackers. It's just a big mess. I think, after I was done laughing at my list, I would sit down and cry. Any of you other mommies out there with me on this?

The Grammy nominations were announced today and Kanye West and Amy Winehouse have both snagged multiple nods. Kanye, who's been grieving since the unexpected loss of his mom last month, earned eight nominations, including album of the year and rap album of the year for Graduation, while Amy, who's just been in a mess of trouble, earned six, including album of the year for Back to Black, song of the year and record of the year for "Rehab", and best new artist.

Battling Amy for record of the year are Beyoncé ("Irreplaceable"), Foo Fighters ("The Pretender"), Rihanna ("Umbrella") and Justin Timberlake ("What Goes Around Comes Around").

And just a quick shout out to my boy Chris Daughtry, whose band, Daughtry, earned four nominations!!!

The Grammys will air on Feb. 10 on CBS. Be there.

It's so creepy that Katie now refers to herself as "Kate", because that's what Tom calls her. And those other names? Those are Tom and Nicole Kidman's adopted kids -- who we never see.

Anyway, I'm going to print this out and hang it on my wall with all my other cards -- just to see who notices.

Page Six is reporting that, ladies man of the year, John Mayer, took a little break from romancing Friday Night Lights hottie Minka Kelly, to hit on Ricki Lake! The unlikely pair met up at the Sunshine Sachs p.r. company's Christmas party, where John and Ricki discussed her latest project, The Miracle of Life-like film, The Business of Being Born. John was then overheard telling the newly-skinny mom, "I've had a crush on you for two years."

They talked for a while, exchanged numbers and parted ways, but sources say John was texting Ricki all night.

It's just so random, right?

Well, I don't know if love is the right word but, according to the new issue of Us Weekly, lust is definitely a major factor in the new relationship between Jess and Dallas Cowboys Quarterback Tony Romo. The new couple attended Jess' best pal, CaCee Cobb's, birthday party last weekend and stole the spotlight from the b-day girl with their abundant PDAs.

"They were all over each other on the couch, making out," a source close to Jess tells the mag. "They were on top of each other! It was a little bit much for a public place," the witness adds. "He was holding her close and she wasn't paying attention to anyone else."

The word on the street is that Jess is "crazy" about Tony, "and gushes about how sweet he is."

I'm sure Tony is lovely, but I get the feeling that Jessica would fall in love with just about anyone that should her some affection these days. It's a little sad.

"I think that, now more than ever, young girls need a good role model," she tells the mag. "My mom always says, 'You are the books you read and the people you surround yourself with."

And she swears she's nothing like those other girls in Hollywood. "For God knows what reason, they compare me with Lindsay Lohan!" she incredulously exclaims about the paparazzi. "It's kind of become, 'All right, you guys can stay there and try knocking me off my horse.' I want to prove them wrong now."

I don't know, kids. I just can't get on board here. There's something I don't trust. I could totally be wrong, but I'm betting she comes to regret these words when the media is reprinting clips from this interview five years from now -- in connection to her drug bust. Your thoughts?

Angelina Jolie will be sneaking around quite a bit in the coming months.

The actress is set to star as real-life intelligence operative Kathi Lynn Austin in what Paramount is calling a "Bourne Identity-like action thriller" about arms trafficking and terrorism.

Angelina always chooses interesting roles, but I would really like to see her in something a little less intense one of these days. I think she would come off as much more likable to America if she did, let's say, a romantic comedy a la Sandra Bullock. She can still be a good actress and show a sense of humor.

I'm just saying.

It's going to be a sucky Christmas for Kiefer Sutherland, as the actor surrendered to jail yesterday. Kiefer was sentenced to 48 days in the slammer, for his September DUI arrest and for violating probation.

"Mr. Sutherland is very polite and humble. He was very cooperative during the booking process," said a jail spokesman. "He will be issued an orange jumpsuit, and will be housed alone in a cell, since he'll be a long-term inmate."

The 24 star will likely serve the entire sentence, which is rare for the Hollywood folk. "Sutherland will be serving the 48 days in the Glendale City Jail, with no early release and no good time/work time credit, so we expect that he will serve the entire 48 days in jail," said a statement from the L.A. City Attorney's office.

His new digs will consist of an 8 by 10 cell with a toilet, sink and water fountain. He will receive three meals a day (two hot, one cold) and will be allowed visitors between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. for 15 minutes each. No more than two visits per day are allowed. He will be assigned to laundry and kitchen duty, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to the other inmates, and as inmate worker he'll be allowed to roam the jail most of the day, as opposed to being confined to his cell.

It shouldn't be too bad for Kiefer, he can probably just pretend he's shooting a movie. For 48 days. With no breaks. And no cushy trailer. A low budget movie!!

Brad tells Larry that he and Angie aren't even close to done, when it comes to having kids. "We're just getting started," he reveals. When asked how he would describe his love as a mom, he gushes that she's "fantastic." Her motto? "Dedicated, kids first," B says of A. "Really inventive and great fun to them and very, very protective."

As for being a father to his diverse family, in which three of his four children are adopted, Brad says life is beautiful. "They're as much my blood as I am theirs. And they are brothers and sisters. One came from Ethiopia, one from Vietnam, one from Cambodia, and one was born in Namibia. And they are brothers and sisters, and they have fun and they squabble and they fight, just like any other family. And it makes me so proud."

The full interview airs on CNN tonight. See you there!

Teen magazine has made a list (yay!) of the 50 hottest guys in hollywood -- and I don't know what four of the top 10 look like -- one I've never even heard of. And I work in the entertainment field. That's bad.

Here they are:
1. Zac Efron
2. Chris Brown
3. Corbin Bleu
4. Pete Wentz
5, 6 & 7. The Jonas Brothers
8. Cady Linley
9. Chace Crawford
10. Brody Jenner

I don't know who Cady Linley is! I'm aware I can easily look him up on the internet -- but that's cheating and I'm trying to be honest here. I don't even want to discuss the other 40 names.

This reminds me of when I was around 14 and asked my mom to buy me Teen Queen Debbie Gibson's new album (Electric Youth, anyone?). She came home from the mall and told me she looked everywhere but she "couldn't find anything by Stacy Gibbons."

I can't believe I've turned into this.

Scarlett Johansson is steaming mad over Us Weeky's newest cover, which insinuates that the starlet has had plastic surgery on her face. ScarJo's publicist gave OK! this statement:

“Us Weekly’s cover story regarding Scarlett Johansson and its clear implication that she has had plastic or cosmetic surgery on her nose is an outrageous and defamatory fabrication lacking any conceivable basis or proof, despite vehement denials by Ms. Johansson prior to publication. Not surprisingly, US magazine cannot provide the dates when she supposedly had this surgery, who performed the surgery, or what was supposedly done — all because there simply is no truth to the story. The publication made a pathetic attempt to validate its story by using two cover photos of Scarlett that were taken years apart with obviously different make-up and lighting, and then relying on an “expert’s opinion” (based solely on looking at the two photos) on what “might” have been done. It wasn’t.”

Scarlett is so upset that she even gave her own statement, vowing to sue the pants off the mag.

“I have always been straightforward with the press regarding my body image and I am very concerned that my fans (and perhaps even my employers) will feel mislead. Thus, I feel compelled to take immediate legal action against US Weekly.”

Jeez, she's pissed. I'm just glad we didn't include her in our Did They or Didn't They Plastic Surgery slide show.

Sam, who is a self-proclaimed movie producer, has two separate restraining orders against him, for violent verbal and physical attacks, and has gone under a number of aliases.

Who goes under aliases? Unless you are Jason Bourne or Brad Pitt checking into a hotel, nobody uses an alias -- that's got shady written all over it.

A former co-worker of Sam's says the guy is no good, calling him "a hustler type, a fast-talking kid." So what's Britney doing with this guy? "She's so desperate for a friend that it's easy once you get in there," says a pal. And Brit's family is concerned about the close friendship, as well. "They are frightened," a source close to her parents says. "They know she is being taken advantage of."

Britney, Britney, Britney. Call up some of your old Mouseketeer friends -- they should want to help. Isn't their motto something like "All for one, and one for all"?

Wait a minute, that's The Musketeers. Silly me.

Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher is being sued for millions, by cosmetics company Hydroderm, who says the actress is in breach of her contract with them.

According to papers obtained by Access Hollywood, an attorney for the company says Teri had an exclusive endorsement deal with Hydroderm since 2005, when she began promoting their cosmetic and anti-aging products.
The company claims the deal stated that Teri would not use “among other things, her name, voice, autograph, image or likeness to, among other things, promote, endorse, market or advertise skin care products manufactured or marketed by Hydroderm’s competitors.” They say Teri broke her end of the deal when she endorsed a lip-plumping product produced by City Cosmetics. The lawsuit states the City product is in “direct competition” with Hydroderm’s lip enhancer.

The cosmetics company is suing for $2,806,952 -- that's a lot of lip plumper.

I do think there is a downside to fame. While I'm the first one to be jealous of all the perks, the money, the adoring fans, it's creepy to think that there are tons of people out there who will do just about anything to get a piece of you.

Cops were called to the Bel-Air home of Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony Monday night, after a "suspicious individual" was seen walking around outside their property. The authorities questioned a paparazzo, who makes his home outside of J.Lo's gate, to find out if he saw anything out of the ordinary.

The photog said a disheveled man, wearing a Star Wars t-shirt and carrying a stack of CDs, took a peek inside the couple's mailbox and then rang the doorbell and left a package on the doorstep.

I would have run for cover at that point, but the police determined there was no threat and no arrest was made.

You have to think that Jen, who starred in Selena -- and who is pregnant -- was majorly spooked.

The Australian magazine NW claims Lindsay dumped Riley after meeting Heath in a New York club over the Thanksgiving weekend. The mag says, "Lindsay and Heath hit it off straight away. When she left the club she started texting him straight away and they hooked up a few times while she was still in New York. They were meeting late at night for sex. It was purely physical."

You can come to your own conclusions -- I think it's a ton of bull. I'm much more likely to believe that Lindsay is working her way back to Paris Hilton ex Stavros Niarchos, who Linds has been seen with a bunch in the past week.

"It seems more people who have absolutely nothing wrong with them are getting surgery," Hollywood casting director April Webster, told Us Weekly, in its new cover story.

Well, we here at iVillage did a little research of our own and checked in with New York plastic surgeon, Dr. Jennifer Levine, to get her opinion on just which A-listers have had some work done. Check out our new slide show, Celebrity Plastic Surgery: Did They or Didn't They, and weigh in on who you think had a little nip here and just a tuck there.

"The twins are back home," the family's lawyer told People.com. "Their condition is fantastic, they're smiling. Zoe looks like her mom, and Boone looks like his dad. They've fully recovered from the accident and it's doubtful they'll suffer long-term effects from the overdose."

Dennis and his wife have filed a lawsuit against the makers of the drug Heparin, which caused the twins to "bleed out."

"The Quaids are very religious, and they believe their children's recovery is a real miracle," their lawyer added.

What an ordeal. So happy to hear the babies are well.

Gianni joins his big brother, Marco, 4, in being the most Italian-sounding kids on the block.

Congrats to the fam!

It seems Angelina Jolie doesn't need no stinking marriage license to know in her heart that she and Brad Pitt are one. According to Page Six.com, a source says that Angie always refers to Brad as her "husband," and likes his input on her look. In fact, she actually prefers he pick out what she wears.

"Angelina likes when he dresses her,” said the insider.

So, what kind of troubles do a couple who are so beautiful individually and together face? Simple. They fight over who's got the better set of locks. The Brangie spy says Angie is jealous that Brad's bad hair days are few and far between. "She thinks his hair looks better than hers when they're alone together,” says the source.

Ah, the problems of the beautiful people.

Get this: According to the London Mirror, David gifted each one of the Spice Girls (not just Posh) with a diamond-encrusted bracelets valued at $100,000 a piece, before their debut concert on Sunday night!

UH-HUH!

"He knows I'm really nervous about him seeing me back on stage, so he bought us all these bracelets for good luck. It's like the old days. David spent a lot of time around the girls when we first got together -- it's as though he married all of us. He's the original Spice Boy," his official wife, Victoria Beckham, told the paper.

David said he just couldn't bear to miss their big night -- even with an injury. "I've got a broken rib at the moment, but I've had them before and nothing would have stopped me coming. There's no way I wouldn't have been here. I haven't even seen a rehearsal before tonight and it's so exciting."

And the soccer star plans on hanging around a bit. "I'm on the road with them for three months and can't wait. When you see them together it's quite frightening -- as though they've never been apart. It's amazing that me and our boys can be a part of that this time around."

Seriously -- it hurts my feelings. Swoon.

“When I sit and I talk with Tom Cruise, he is one of the greatest spirits that I’ve ever met – someone who is committed to making the world better. You have people [that] are attacking and wanna fight that don’t know nothing — how you gonna not know nothing about Scientology and attack somebody? It’s dangerous and it’s ignorant. How can I condemn someone for what they believe and I believe that God was born from a pregnant virgin?”

-- Will Smith, to Access Hollywood, on good buddy Tom Cruise's beliefs in Scientology

I don't care about Tom, but Will can come to my defense any day. He's my honey.

"Anyone who . . . pays attention to my breast size will see there's no continuity. The first half of filming I wasn't pregnant, and the second half I was, and because we didn't shoot it in order, I start off with huge breasts and then I walk upstairs and suddenly I've got tangerines again. It's melons to tangerines."

According to Pagesix.com, Jive had an up-and-coming starlet ready to step in and use the very expensive cast and crew hired to shoot Brit's video. Coincidentally, Britney was 12 hours late to the shoot (does that even count as late?), but hightailed it to the studio after the label told her they were going to give the video shoot to another Jive artist, Samantha Jade.”

Rather than lose the money spent on the director, dancers, hair and makeup, the record company was set to have Jade step in and use the team already set up for Brit's video. “They were going to recalibrate it for Samantha, because it was too expensive to just scrap,” said the source. “Britney finally showed up when she realized a new, younger, hotter girl would take her slot."

Totally believe it -- totally not surprised. It's just a shame they have to bribe her to work -- I think she's lucky they even want to keep making her videos.

Aside from the whole McDreamy thing, and his awesome family life, complete with a set of baby twins, the Grey's Anatomy actor's new movie, Enchanted, has taken the number one spot for the last two weeks, and now, Patrick has just signed on to be the new face of Versace. That's not bad, huh?

Patrick will be featured in the 2008 men's spring/summer line. "It was so lovely to work with Donatella Versace, she is an iconic and inspirational woman and a wonderful person, not to mention what a pleasure it was to work with Mario Testino too, one of the world's finest photographers," Patrick gushed. Just as happy with the union, Versace says, "Patrick represents everything that is great about this collection... He is the modern man of today. He looks fantastic in the clothes."

Yay! I can't wait to see the photos. The camera loves that guy.

Another day, another DUI.

Rocker Scott Weiland was arrested for driving under the influence last week, after crashing his car on a Los Angeles highway. Cops say the Velvet Revolver and former Stone Temple Pilots front man failed a sobriety test, but Scott's rep is denying his client was drunk.

"Scott Weiland was recently involved in a minor accident in Los Angeles and denies he was driving under the influence," the rep said in a statement to Us Weekly. "He voluntarily took a Breathalyzer test which the defense believes registers well within the legal limit. He is anxious to get to court on December 13 and clear
this matter up."

Scott has battled drug and alcohol addiction in the past, so he might need a bit of a refresher course in sobriety -- which I'm sure the judge will be happy to provide.

"I think it's a crapshoot. The odds are really bad, especially in this town," she tells the mag. "But I have a lot of faith in Josh, and I wanted to have that one day when I stand in front of my friends and my family and honor him and how important he is in my life."

At least she's a realist -- maybe that's what will set these two apart from most of the other Hollywood couples who go in down in flames.

Case in point: Lauren Conrad, who, since becoming the reality TV queen that she is, has become the spokeswoman for Mark cosmetics, started her own clothing line, and now has snagged the cover of the January issue Shape, where Brody Jenner's "good friend" shows off her new, slim as a toothpick bod.

Lauren credits her new shape (pun intended) to twice-a-week weight training, running and kickboxing, along with diet of a fish and vegetables. “I used to love fast food,” she admits. “Now I eat six small meals a day consisting mostly of fish, beans, and other protein, along with veggies."

I don't know, kids. L.C. is looking a tad bony. What was wrong with her body before?

"The looks on their faces were priceless," Nicole told reporters after the festivities. "Some of them didn't even believe us [when they saw the gifts]. They thought we were joking."

The Richie Madden Children's Foundation was created by the expecting couple, who say it's their way to give back to the community they grew up in and to honor their families. "We're lucky that we have families that get along and love each other," Joel said. "I think it's great that our child will grow up as a part of that family."

Amongst the loot given to the families in need were cribs, mattresses and toys from Fisher-Price. "Everything they got, we got," Nicole said, "so everything that will be in their nursery, will be in our nursery."

And Joel wants everyone to know that he and his woman are just normal people, anxiously awaiting the birth of their first child. "Sometimes people don't want to believe that me and Nicole are just a young couple having a baby and we're really excited. We don't really get to share our lives with people. It's nice to connect with people on a real level."

I seriously love them.

"Growing up I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing," the up-and-coming starlet told People. "The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose."

Squeaky clean Ash wanted to be blunt about having the procedure because she didn't want to send the wrong message young fans. "I didn't do this because I believe in plastic surgery. I did this to help my health. I literally almost could not breathe out of the right side of my nose," the pretty blonde said. "I want my fans to know the truth. I'm not someone who is going to act like I had nothing done. I just want to be honest because my fans are everything to me."

It's kind of easy to say that when you're young and perfect, but talk to me when your boobs start to drag on the gym floor.

This shot of singer Amy Winehouse was snapped outside her home, in cold London, at 5am yesterday morning.

Caption the photo below. I'll go first...

I get the feeling Pink doesn't do anything just for show -- so hopefully they are working things out.

On a side note, I can't even begin to explain why she is wearing that house dress.

Have you feeling bad for Ethan Hawke since his split with Uma Thurman? Uma seems to be having the time of her life with one rich boyfriend or another, gallivanting on beaches and making movies, while Ethan seemed to be the brooding loner, milling around New York City by himself.

Well, Gatecrasher is reporting that Ethan has duped us all -- and the actor has actually had a girlfriend for two years! A source says that Ethan is dating his kids' former nanny, Ryan, who worked for the fam while Uma and Ethan were still married.

Apparently Ryan contacted Ethan about a year after the split from Uma to confess her feelings. Brave girl!

"She had nothing to do with the divorce, and they started seeing each other after she was no longer the children's nanny," says a friend. "They've been keeping a lid on this for some time," says another source close to the couple. "They are incredibly in love."

Yay for Ethan!

Jennifer Love Hewitt felt the need to take time out from celebrating her engagement to Ross McCall to address the recent comments about her weight. Jen was photographed frolicking on the beach with her love, in a black bikini, which caused tons of media reports saying The Ghost Whisperer actress has "piled on the pounds."

Jen decided she wasn't just going to sit around and let the media dog her. She posted this message on her website, defending herself and women everywhere:

"This is the last time I will address this subject.

I've sat by in silence for a long time now about the way women's bodies are constantly scrutinized. To set the record straight, I'm not upset for me, but for all of the girls out there that are struggling with their body image.

A size 2 is not fat! Nor will it ever be. And being a size 0 doesn't make you beautiful.

What I should be doing is celebrating some of the best days of my life and my engagement to the man of my dreams, instead of having to deal with photographers taking invasive pictures from bad angles. I know what I look like, and so do my friends and family. And like all women out there should, I love my body.

To all girls with butts, boobs, hips and a waist, put on a bikini -- put it on and stay strong."

Good for Jen! She's is not even close to fat and, more than anything, I'm glad she knows it. Screw everybody else.

An X17 insider said the new couple were attached at the hip all night and were very lovey-dovey. "They were talking the entire time and Jessica was very giggly around him. She had a great big grin from ear to ear the entire evening," the spy blabbed. The witness also said that Jess "loosened up a bit with a couple of vodka cocktails."

I have yet to see Jess not loose, so I can only imagine what "loosened up" entails.

Photo agency X17 (Brit's peeps) caught all of the events of the momentous evening on film. Britney started off the night at the Scandinavian Style Party, hosted by Sharon Stone, attached at the hip to cousin Alli Simms and fellow cohort Sam Lufti. "[Britney] looked like she was in a very good mood, very excited!" says X17's source.

That's where Brit met up with her old pal Paris Hilton. The girls partied at the style fiesta, where Brit picked up her first birthday gift -- a fur coat worth thousands of dollars, given to her by a Scandinavian vendor. "Brit loved it and wore it all night," the spy said. Then it was cake time -- as a chocolate creation with raspberries arrived. Brit blew out the candles and hopefully made some kind of worthwhile wish. Then it was off the Four Seasons, where Brit continued to party with Paris, Alli, Sam and the crew in the penthouse.

I hope Britney enjoyed herself because there will, no doubt, be at least 50 disasters in her life in the coming week. At least.
