Recently in rumor mill Category
Hey, it's been a while since we've speculated on who might be hiding a pregnancy, so let's get to it.
First off, the never-ending buzz that Eva Longoria Parker and hubby Tony Parker are expecting is almost deafening now, since Eva is no longer wasting away. The actress has said that she packed on pounds for her Desperate Housewives role, but recent pictures show Eva looking particularly round in the baby bump area.
Other signs: DH's head honcho, Marc Cherry, revealed that the couple were "desperately" trying to have a baby, and Eva and Tony were in Vegas this weekend, where Eva reportedly stayed away from sushi and alcohol. Hmmmm......
On to Katie Holmes, who's been seen out and about in NYC, while preparing for her stage role in All My Sons. Katie's been wearing those big, baggy jeans and flowing tops, and, maybe, just maybe, she could be sporting a little bit of a baby belly. Then again, Tom Cruise's wife is an avid lover of cupcakes, and her favorites are said to be from one NYC bakery. So maybe she's just taking advantage of her new locale while it lasts, and is feasting on buttercream as often as she can.
“People think Chace is gay, and thought I was gay, that we were humping. It’s not true, but hilarious. People project their fantasies onto people. I’ve never been someone who makes it my objective to go out and pick up chicks. But I’ve met some fantastic ladies here. You know, those amazing conversations where you find yourself in a cafe talking until 2 a.m. and never see them again.”
-- Gossip Girl's Ed "Chuck Bass" Westwick, to Page Six Magazine, on the rumors that he and costar Chace Crawford are more than just roommates.
Say what you want about Victoria Beckham -- that she looks like an alien, that she never smiles, that you wish you could sleep with her husband -- but do not, I repeat, DO NOT insinuate that she has some sort of drug-fueled obsession with her weight.
The super-skinny Spice Girl is reportedly getting ready to sue the U.K. tabloid Now, which claimed Vic was "hooked on sex and diet pills."
"The accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue," Posh's rep, Jo Milloy, said Monday. "Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story. It is now with her lawyers."
The story, which is no longer on Now's website, also claimed that Vicki has her sister, Louise, get the diet drugs in Britain then send them to her in a care package in L.A..
Okay, Victoria has made it very clear that she is not hoarding diet pills to keep her slim figure in tact, but she didn't say anything about not being hooked on sex. Then again, if you or I were married to David Beckham....

Eva Longoria Parker may not be pregnant yet, despite the daily rumors that surface about her, but she's trying!
According to her boss, Desperate Housewives' creator Marc Cherry, the star and her San Antonio Spurs hubby are working on it.
"Eva is desperately trying to get pregnant with Tony Parker," loose-lips Cherry told UsMagazine.com. "After they phone their doctor, she promised me I will be the next call."
Um, okay, maybe not after you just told everybody this, but whatevs.
Katie Holmes recently admitted to wearing hubby Tom Cruise's clothes, which has (of course) started people buzzing that TomKat may be expecting another little kitten.
But here's a brand new photo of Katie in NYC, not looking a bit preggers to me, but certainly not looking happy.
What's going on with her? Is she miserable over her new short haircut (Lord knows I would be)? Is she not able to breathe in those extremely high-waisted pants that, for the love of Pete, I hope are not Tom's? Is rehearsing for this play not all it was cracked up to be?
I don't know, but Katie has never looked more somber.
Contrary to a Star report claiming that Shia would need his pinky amputated following his car accident, Shia will remain a 10-fingered man.
LaBeouf's publicist told E! that the digit loss rumor is a "completely fabricated story."
Good thing, because it might be hard for Shia to fight off those Decepticons in Transformers without that pinky!
Out and about for the first time since the story broke that Matthew Broderick may have been having an affair with a young chippy, he and wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, went to dinner last night in NYC.
So they're still talking as of now -- I get the feeling they aren't going to comment on the story, and will just deal with it in private. If there is even anything to deal with.
On another note, how long and skinny is Sarah's arm?
I totally think Jennifer Garner is pregnant, though there hasn't been a formal announcement, but UsMagazine.com is saying that Jen's former Alias co-star has spilled the beans.
"Yes, she is," the website claims Victor Garber told them, when asked if recent speculation was true that the couple is expecting.
But Vic is backpedaling, telling E! Online that his words were taken out of context.
"I haven't confirmed that at all, no," the actor said later. "I know they want to have another child and hopefully that's true, but I don't know that."
"No, I know that they are hoping to be," the Eli Stone star added. "I just don't know that it's for sure. It's a very...personal thing."
He's not very convincing, that Victor, and all other arrows are pointing to a new baby for Jen and Ben Affleck.
A source close to the couple said, "She is five months pregnant. They are very happy," and, E! Online Senior Editor Marc Malkin spied Bennifer at a Los Angeles obstetrician's office on Wednesday.
Violet is going to be the best big sister!
Uma Thurman just scored a brand new fiancé, a huge engagement ring, and, now, may have just scored her third pregnancy.
New pictures taken of Uma in a bikini show some kind of belly on the actress -- and it could definitely be of the baby persuasion. And it's not even your I-had-one-too-many-beers-belly, unless she recently became a member of a fraternity and we're not aware.
Uma, 38, is seen doing some stretching in the photos, so perhaps she has contorted her body into the very-famous "baby brewing" yoga pose (okay, so I totally made that up). But, if she is preggers, her two kids had better take a crash course in sharing, as their dad, Ethan Hawke, is also expecting another child with his new wife.
Nobody in the Kill Bill star's momtourage is talking just yet, but we'll be waiting patiently for the denial.
I just a got a verrrry interesting tip from an FOB (friend of Blabber), who tells me that there are wedding plans in motion for Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon -- on Martha's Vineyard!
Gyllenspoon are fans of the island, and took a trip there last summer for some R&R with the family. Also, Jake's parents, director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner, own a home there and Jakey and his sis Maggie Gyllenhaal have been spending their summers there since they were kids (Jake was even a lifeguard there when he was a teen). So, it makes total sense that the lovebirds would be planning to say "I do" on the soil of my pal Suzy's favorite place in the world.
Come to think of it, Suzy is in MV right now! Get me some more details, girl!
Multiple sources are claiming that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are expecting baby No. 2!
A little brother or sister for Violet, the cutest kid in the world? Yay!
The media in Ben's hometown of Boston is reporting that Jen is definitely preggers, the National Enquirer is reporting Jen has just entered her second trimester and is telling friends about the pregnancy.
Could Jen be holding V close to her belly on purpose?
Madonna's rep needs a raise, man.
With all the rumors running rampant that Madge and Guy Ritchie are over -- and the new bombshell that NY Yankees' Alex Rodriguez has been playing ball up at Madge's apartment on some late evenings -- Liz Rosenberg has released a statement exclusively to People.com.
"Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce."
"Madonna and Alex have the same manager, Guy Oseary," she said of the stars' connection. "They have met. They know each other and Madonna took her kids to a Yankees game last week. There's really not anything to comment on beyond that."
But she did.
"It's nothing new that people are airing tons of dirty laundry Madonna's way lately – much of it untrue." she continued. "By the way, rumors of Madonna and Lil Wayne are quite exaggerated, as well," she joked.
Give that woman some cash, Madge -- she's good.
In the words of one Monica Geller (from Friends, for those living under a rock), "THIS JUST GOT INTERESTING!"
Wow, wow, wow! Us Weekly has a bombshell new issue, reporting that not only are Madonna and Guy Ritchie absolutely over, but that Madge has been spending her late nights with NY Yankee Alex Rodriguez!
Sources tell the mag that A-Rod has been seen on multiple occasions, heading up to Madonna's apartment in New York, and would sneak out "as late as midnight." The source blabbed, "All the doormen are talking."
There seems to be some sort of ongoing relationship with the singer and the, ahem, married player, as Alex took in Madonna's April 30 concert, while she sat in his seat at a Yankee game on June 22 -- the first time she was ever photographed at her new favorite team's game -- while Madge and Guy's son, Rocco, was, all of a sudden, sportin' some Yankee clothing on June 25.
Guy reportedly flew to NYC yesterday, after being apart from his family for a few weeks.
There's been a ton of speculation that the Material Girl's marriage is over, and usually where there's smoke there's fire. Throw Alex Rodriguez into the mix and you've got a blaze of stellar proportion.
The usually very reliable Ted Casablanca broke my heart a little last week, when he speculated that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were heading for a split. And, because Bennifer are hardly ever photographed together, it's difficult for us to monitor the state of their union. But Jen's rep quickly squashed the breakup talk, telling UsMagazine.com that they story was completely fabricated.
"There is not one ounce of truth to it," the rep said.
Concurring with the denials, Ben told Access Hollywood's Billy Bush that all is well at home.
“We’re very happy," the Ben of Ben & Jen said. "Things couldn’t be better. We’re kind of taking it easy and just kind of enjoying a little downtime at home."
This puts my mind at ease, I think, 'cause I just couldn't deal with the thought that my cutie Violet's world would be torn apart.
Last week rumors surfaced that two of the main hotties on Gossip Girl, Ed Westwick and Chace Crawford, may be more than just "good friends." As teenage girls everywhere considered ending it all at the thought that they no longer were in the running to win the boys' hearts, the smokin' stars quickly tried to put the talk to rest.
"I just laugh them off," GG's Chuck Bass told People.com, of the rumors that he and Chace are more than just roommates.
"What are you going to do?" Ed said. "People who know me and Chace and the cast know that we are all great friends. And that's the extent of it all. Those things that go around are just amusing to us, really."
So, what are your thoughts? Believe it or not?
Yes, there is always talk that Madonna and hubby Guy Ritchie are on the outs, and Madge's rep has the tireless job of debunking the trash, but it's looking like there might be some truth to the rumors this time.
According to The Times of London, Madge has taken a meeting with heavy-hitting divorce lawyer, Fiona Shackelton. This being the same lady who repped Paul McCartney in his nasty divorce battle with Heather Mills. The paper also says that Guy has done some legal eagle hunting of his own, as he reportedly "had dealings with a lesser-known Mayfair law firm, Forsters."
When UsMagazine.com asked Madonna's rep if there was trouble in paradise, she simply said, "No comment at this time, darling." Which is a big change from her usual, "They are happy and blissful, yada, yada, yada."
So, what do you think? Is it really over for these two this time? Will the Material Girl be back on the market? Do tell.
Just thought I should let you know that the rumor mill is in high gear and people are swearing that Eva Longoria Parker is pregnant -- again.
This is a shot of Eva out and about in NYC yesterday with hubby Tony Parker. Yes, Eva dud trade a skin-tight dress for a loose-fitting frock, but keep in mind that it was 100 degrees on the sweltering streets of The Big Apple. On the other hand, if I had Eva's bod, and it was that hot, I'd walk around with only shoes and a bag. So maybe she is covering something up with that giant purse...
You know I love good gossip -- I even love a good maybe-it's-true-maybe-it's-not-story -- but some things are just unnecessary.
A rumor hit the the web this weekend, saying that High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale had been diagnosed with HIV, after having contracted the disease as a result of her nose job earlier this year. Fortunately, Ashley's rep says that the terrible talk is "completely untrue," but it didn't stop one site from actually posting, what they claimed to be, a statement from Cedars-Sinai Hospital.
A rep for the medical center told People.com, "We absolutely did not issue a release."
Why would anyone do this? It's not fun or funny -- and it gives those of us who like the fluffiness of celeb gossip a bad rap. There is a point when you've gone too far -- and this is definitely it.
Here's the picture that launched a thousand gasps.
Paris Hilton went out to dinner with a contestant from her new reality show Wednesday night, and she seemed to be carrying a little somethin' somethin' in the belly area. Her little green silky/satin nightie-dress-thingy looked like it was revealing, deep breath, a baby bump!
But, have no fear, though Paris and boyfriend Benji Madden constantly scream from the rooftops that they are in love and want to get married and have babies, the heir-head's rep says that our beloved P-Hilton is not with child. Her manager concurred, telling E! News the reports are "false."
Whew! Dodged that bullet for now, but I know it's just a matter of time.
There are some interesting new hookup rumors circulating. Here's some morning juice to have with your coffee:
Ah, summer love!
Sources close to Jake Gyllenhaal say that the actor is shopping for engagement rings for his love, Reese Witherspoon. According to the new issue of OK!, the actor is planning on popping the big question soon.
“They’ve been talking marriage for a while,” an insider told the mag. “They’ll be formally engaged any day now. They want to spend the rest of their lives together.”
Unlike many celebrity couples, Jake and Reese are being level-headed about their togetherness.
“This is a very serious relationship,” the source said. “But Reese is very conservative and traditional. I’m sure she doesn’t want her kids to see her ‘living in sin.’"
Jake's peeps said, "There are no immediate plans for a wedding," but that certainly doesn't mean they aren't looking to get engaged.
These two are so normal, I can see them actually being engaged for a year or two, before running down the aisle. And, if they do get married, I really think they have a good chance of making it. How often can you say that about a Hollywood couple?

So much for the wedding bells.
TMZ.com is reporting that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo's great love affair is dunzo. The website says that they heard the news of the split straight from Tony's bud's mouths -- though both of their reps continue to deny that there is anything but bliss brewing between Jess and her footballer.
With a divorce, her breakup with John Mayer, and now little sister Ashlee getting hitched, I don't how much more Jessica can handle. I hope, for her sake, this is just trash talk.
Of course rumors are swirling that Beyonce is pregnant, since she and Jay-Z tied the knot on April 4.
Supposedly sources told Page Six that the newlyweds are expecting their first child together, and that it's obvious because of Beyonce's expanding waistline. "
"She has gained a lot of pregnancy weight," the insensitive source said. "When she gains weight, she normally does the Def Jam detox, but not now."
Maybe she just decided she doesn't want to drink that crap anymore?
Anyway, a rep for B said, "I don't know if she's pregnant. Let me perform an ultrasound and get back to you."
Hee hee.
The big, secret wedding is so in these days.
Sources close to Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz say that the couple have plans to wed to this coming Saturday, May 17.
"Proper invites have not been sent out but instead guests have been given a save the date notice," an insider told UsMagazine.com.
If you were planning on crashing, I can't help you with the locale, as that information is said to be "top secret." I can tell you that there will be a rehearsal dinner for "family and close friends only" on Friday. Then, on Saturday, "all guests will be transported in shuttles to the wedding location."
Why the hurry? It is because Ash is preggers, or can they not wait another minute to be man and wife? Your thoughts?
