- A source close to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt reportedly confirmed on Jolie's behalf that she is pregnant. I suppose it's hard to deny it anymore when you look like this. Now if there are any babies that deserve $6M for exclusive photos upon birth, it's the children of two of the most beautiful people on Earth - namely Jolie and Pitt, not Jennifer Lopez. What's more, if they get offered the money and accept it, they're likely to donate it to one of their charity efforts. read...
- Um, what? Has hottie Kate Hudson been seeing Justin Timberlake for a year? The same Justin Timberlake that's supposedly about to propose to equally hot Jessica Biel? Say it ain't so. How does an untalented, middle of the road short pop idiot like Timberlake get two hotties? Oh yeah, cat fight time!! read...
- OK Magazine reports that Nicole Richie's post-birthing slimming secret is the Spanx undergarments she's been wearing. (You know, the hose replacement profiled on Oprah?) But I maintain that the real secret is the mad partying that she and baby-daddy Joel Madden have been doing. I mean, who the hell has a baby and then goes out and parties all hours of the night shortly afterwards? Doesn't Nicole feel any maternal instinct? And she was doing so well, gifting other mothers, holding showers, participating in a charity that she and Joel had started. read...
- It's good to hear that funny man Owen Wilson has recovered from his alleged suicide attempt and is working again. His current project is Marley and Me with Jennifer Aniston. It starts shooting March and opens Dec 25th. He'll also be in Outsourced and Drillbit Taylor this year. read...
- Let's recap here. Lily Allen miscarries, loses boyfriend Ed Simons, gets a talk show but 1/3 of the audience walks out. And previously, thanks to dropping four dress sizes, she had a lingerie promo deal with Agent Provacateur. But due to a bitter divorce split between two of the company's bosses, Allen just got dropped. I'm guessing that despite rumors of her wearing an engagement ring and visiting Ed Simons on the weekends, she's not back with him. Why? Because she's talking about a crush for Ricky Gervais, and how she has a thing for bald men with hair backs. Alriiiighty then. read...
- Remember that really cute actress who kept taking a beating in the Scary Movie horror spoofs? She's single, guys. Her divorce was just finalized, and she's free of actor Benjamin Indra, who got to take the motorcycle, moped and pickup truck in the agreement. Too bad the divorce between Heather Mills and Sir Paul McCartney can't be settled so simply. read...
- A couple of websites are reporting that Angelina Jolie was on the last leg of an 18-hour flight from Iraq when she collapsed on the airplane. she's been letting herself get fatigued. This happened in early February. read...
- It almost seems comical... Horror director Wes Craven is suing comedian Pauly Shore, and Shore is countersuing Craven. They each blame the other for landscaping activities/ inactivities that caused the two neighbors property damage in the Hollywood Hills. Maybe the should put on white gloves and just slap each other silly, then call it a day. It'll be more satisfying. Really. read...
- Sexy Elizabeth Hurley recently married Arun Nayer, an East Indian millionaire business man. Rumors are that the couple have a maid that reportedly only gets paid about $200/wk. The maid, Violet D'Souza, is from India, where $200/wk is actually a lot of money. Except she works for the couple in the UK, not India. The amount, if true, is about $3/hr - way below the UK minimum wage. Further rumors indicate that the maid dropped her claims after being given a five-figure payout. read...
- The New York State Health Commissioner wants movies that show cigarettes to get an R rating. This is in hopes that kids under 18 don't try to imitate celebrities who smoke. Despite city and state efforts to ban public smoking over the past several years, movies still show smoking and often glamorize the act. The Health Dept has taken out full-page ads in the NY Times and Wall Street Journal as part of an $800,000 campaign. read...
