Happy Thursday Kiddies and away I go.

Clay Aiken and producer-friend Jaymes Foster are expecting a child. The Insider confirmed the news with a rep for Foster. “By the way she looks great, glowing and very happy,” the rep says. “She and Clay have been good friends for a long time.” TMZ was first to report the pregnancy and People confirmed Foster was artificially inseminated. Clay, 29, will have an active role in raising the child. No immediate word from Aiken’s representative. Wait, isn’t he ya know, like Doogie Howser and Clay Aiken? Ya know what I am saying?

Speaking of pregnant celebrities, Superstar Newlywed couple Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz, have confirmed they are expecting their first child. The couple has been dogged by pregnancy rumors for weeks but refused to confirm the news until now. The newlyweds announced the pregnancy on his website, “While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. “This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family.” The pair wed in Encino, California earlier this month. Well that isn’t very Catholic. Isn’t her father a preacher? Or at least a youth minister? Yeah, that’s what I thought. Nothing like a child sort of out of wedlock.

The world’s most eligible bachelor has reclaimed his throne. George Clooney and girlfriend Sarah Larson have called it quits, People.com reports. A rep for the actor declined to comment on Clooney’s personal life to the magazine. The pair had been dating for approximately one year. Wow, isn’t it about time he and Brad Pitt settle down.

Actor Bill Murray has been hit with divorce papers from his wife of almost 11 years, who has reportedly blamed domestic abuse, drug addiction and infidelity for the breakdown of their marriage. Jennifer Butler Murray filed papers for a legal separation in a Charleston, South Carolina family court on May 12, 2008. According to legal documents obtained by local newspaper the Charleston Post + Courier, Jennifer and the couple’s four children moved out of the family home in 2006 as a result of the comedian’s “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, physical abuse, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment”. The court papers go on to claim that Murray “hit his wife in the face and then told her she was ‘lucky he didn’t kill her.’” Local reports state Jennifer has requested a restraining order against the Groundhog Day star to keep him away from her current home. She has also ordered her lawyers to look into the couple’s $7 million pre-nuptial agreement to determine whether it is still valid. Abusive Behavior? What did he whack her upside her head with a gopher? Now that would be super suite.

Britney Spears has been tipped for a role on Broadway - playing Sandy in the stage version of Grease. The singer proved her acting credentials with a highly successful stint in sitcom How I Met Your Mother and was recently linked with a move to the London stage. Spears was reportedly in talks to star in a West End production of Tennessee Williams’ play A Streetcar Named Desire - playing the lead role of Blanche DuBois. And now the “Toxic” hit maker is once again rumored to be considering a turn on stage - this time in hit musical Grease. A source tells British newspaper Metro, “The producers were bouncing around the idea of casting Britney in the role of Sandy. “They’re recasting the roles in July and they thought that Britney looked like a Sandy. She would be terrific.” Yeah I can see that. What Sandy was an Australian Babe, not a mother-of-two from the South who loves Cheetos.

And finally, Clown Rapper Ja Rule, has been reprimanded by a New York judge for failing to show up for an April 2008 court date - because he was on tour in Germany. On Wednesday, lawyer Stacey Richman blamed the error on the organizers of the German tour, arguing the dates had been booked by mistake. Supreme Court Justice Micki Scherer told the star - real name Jeffrey Atkins - it was “no excuse,” but granted him a break when she agreed to let him out of the country again for performances in Russia, reports the New York Daily News. She told the rapper, “There was no excuse in my view for your absence last month.: Scherer said Atkins must give five days’ notice of any business trips that would take him out of New York City’s metropolitan area before he departs for Russia, and warned him he must check in with the court upon his return from Moscow. Well at least he was not arrested for “murder”.

Kirsten Not Drunkst

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Happy Tuesday Kiddies and Happy Memorial Day Bitches, and away I go.

Kirsten Dunst said she recently sought treatment for depression, not substance abuse as was rumored. Dunst, who is working on the film All Good Things in New York, reportedly checked into the Cirque Lodge treatment center in Utah earlier this year. “I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse,” Dunst told E! News exclusively. “I went there for depression. … It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.” Oh Man…And to think I thought she was an Alchie. Shiznit, that sucks.

Actress Kate Hudson has fueled reports she is dating cyclist Lance Armstrong, after allegedly making their romance public at a party in Cannes, France. The couple was said to have danced and kissed at designers Dolce and Gabbana’s annual bash on Friday. According to People.com, Hudson and Armstrong danced away to old Madonna songs and other 1980s classics, in front of other celebrities including Natalie Portman, Lindsay Lohan and supermodel Naomi Campbell. A source says, “They were beaming at each other. So cute.” Hudson split from actor Owen Wilson earlier this month, while Armstrong was previously engaged to singer Sheryl Crow. OH come on Kate, he only has 1 nut. Really Kate, him?

Hollywood filmmaker Sydney Pollack, who won a pair of Academy Awards for the epic romance “Out of Africa” and earned praise for his acting stints in films such as “Tootsie” and “Michael Clayton,” died on Monday after a battle with cancer, his spokeswoman said. He was 73. Pollack, whose illness first came to public attention after unspecified health issues led him to withdraw last August as director of an HBO television movie, died at his home in the coastal Los Angeles suburb of Pacific Palisades at about 5 p.m. local time, surrounded by his family. Spokeswoman Leslee Dart said Pollack was diagnosed with cancer about 10 months ago, but doctors were never able to determine the primary source of the disease. Wow, he really made some fantastic movies. I lurved Tootsie.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is estimated to have earned $151 million at the North American box office since it opened Thursday. The Los Angeles Times said the fourth installment in the franchise is poised to secure the second-best box office take for a Memorial Day weekend opening. The record was set last year by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, which earned $153 million for the same period of time. Crystal Skull, a 1950s-set adventure film starring Harrison Ford, Karen Allen and Cate Blanchett, grossed $126 million in its first four days of release and was expected to take in another $25 million Monday, the Times said.

A French newspaper said Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt signed a three-year lease on an estate in the south of France, not bought it as some reports have said. The newspaper Nice Matin reported that Chateau Miraval is worth an estimated $70 million, People.com said. Jolie and Pitt are the parents of four children and are expecting the birth of twins this summer. E! Online said Pitt, Jolie and their kids will soon settle down on the nearly 1,000-acre estate, which has 35 bedrooms, a vineyard, lake, forest and moat. “It’s absolutely unbelievable,” a source told E! News. “Brad and Angelina are thrilled, they love the place and have already been furniture shopping to fill the place as it’s massive. They’ve already spent almost another million on furniture and the whole family can’t wait to move in.” Good for them, but can’t they just buy it, they have more money than Trump and Puffy combined.

And finally, David Cook says he’s dating an “American Idol” alum. The newly crowned “Idol” winner said Tuesday on “Live With Regis and Kelly” that he recently had a dinner date with former “Idol” contestant Kimberly Caldwell. Cook, 25, said he met Caldwell through the show. When asked if he had a good time, Cook replied: “I did. We’ll probably hang out again. So we’ll see.” Caldwell, 26, appeared on the second season of the top-rated Fox singing competition. Cook, from Blue Springs, Mo., defeated 17-year-old David Archuleta last week in a landslide victory. The rocker became the heartthrob of the seventh season around the time he restyled his hair and displayed more confidence onstage. Wow, isn’t she the hussy who got arrested for possession of cocaine?

The Gooch
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Happy Wednesday Kiddies, and better yet, Happy Memorial Day Weekend. 5 Day Weekend for me. That’s what I am talking about my loyal readers.

Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi was crowned the winner of Dancing With the Stars on Tuesday - the second woman to win the series since it began in 2005. The athlete and her dancing partner Mark Ballas beat fellow finalist Jason Taylor to win the sixth season of the hit program - scoring a perfect score for their final jive dance. Chilean hunk Cristian de la Fuente came third in the competition, despite being dogged by an arm injury during the last few weeks of the show. Yamaguchi is the first female to be crowned champion of the celebrity dance show since model Kelly Monaco won the final in the show’s first season in 2005. Good job Guch, you deserve it. Wait didn’t she harass Arnold back on Different Strokes.

Lou Pearlman, the man responsible for creating the Backstreet Boys and ‘N Sync, won’t be singing a happy tune if he spends 25 years behind bars. The mogul was convicted Wednesday in an Orlando, Florida court. He faces four federal charges: two counts of conspiracy, and one each of money laundering and using false statements in a bankruptcy. Prosecutors alleged he swindled more than $300 million from investors and major U.S. banks However, U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharp gave Pearlman the opportunity to lessen his sentence by offering Pearlman a one-month of his term for every $1 million he gives to each investor. I always knew he was a little creepy. And by a little creepy I mean he is a total nut job.

Actor Dylan McDermott has filed for divorce from his wife Shiva Rose. The couple has been married for more than 11 years. McDermott and Rose have two children. Yeah, I think his wife is a moron for leaving him. He is kind of on the dreamy side.

Lindsay Lohan’s mother Dina shouldn’t be blamed for the actress’ personal problems, the 45-year-old showbiz mom insists. The 21-year-old is trying to rebuild her Hollywood career after a disastrous 2007, dominated by two arrests for driving under the influence, rehab time and an 84-minute jail spell. And Dina insists Lindsay must accept full responsibility for her actions. She says, “She’s 21 years old. We all make mistakes. It’s not a blame game. It’s not her mom’s fault or her friends’ fault It’s the general personal choices you make. And you have to be careful about the choices you make when you’re in the public eye.” I am still waiting for the Lindsay Lohan Sex Tape to be widely released.

The cast of The Simpsons have settled an ongoing pay dispute with TV bosses - landing a major pay rise which will see their earnings rise to $500,000 an episode. The cartoon’s actors, including Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner and Nancy Cartwright, had been embroiled in lengthy negotiations with executives at Fox TV to have their wages increased from $320,000 for the next 22 episode series. But the pay boost has now brought their earnings more in line with live action sitcom stars and guaranteed the show will return for its 20th season. Good for them, even thought I would have held out for more. And made the girl who plays Lisa do dirty things to me, while whispering sexy things in my ear in that voice.

Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler, 60, has checked himself into Las Encinas Hospital drug rehabilitation clinic — the place Dr. Drew practices — in Pasadena, Calif. It’s the same facility where the reality show “Celebrity Rehab” was filmed. Tyler is getting treatment for substance abuse. Tyler’s reps had no comment. Wait, Steven Tyler has substance abuse problems? What are you going to tell me next, Little Britney is preggers.

And finally, some happy news to report. Jessica Alba tied the knot with the father of her unborn child, Cash Warren, on Monday. The Beverly Hills courthouse’s ceremony room served as the site of the couple’s Monday nuptials, a source tells People Magazine., adding that the bride wore a pony tail and a long blue dress. “She looked happy but nervous,” the source tells the mag. Jessica and Cash arrived at around 11:30 a.m. and applied for a marriage license, and then, some 40 minutes later (after the paperwork was processed) a courthouse staff member married them, according to the mag’s source, who adds that nobody else attended the wedding. Good for them. I just hope they don’t release a sex tape, because she is a horrid actress.

Ash Wentzday happily married.
Monday, May 19th, 2008

Happy Monday kiddies and away I go. That’s what I’m talking about, yeah I know, don’t start with your witty one-liners about how long I have not updated.

Pregnant actress Jessica Alba plans to be a strict mother to her unborn child - because she doesn’t want her baby to grow up spoiled. The Fantastic Four beauty is due to give birth to her fiancé Cash Warren’s baby this summer, but she has already decided how tough a mom she’s going to be. She tells Fit Pregnancy magazine, “I don’t want to be my child’s best friend; I want to be a mom. But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.” What? No Cheerios? No Television? No Tivo?

Lost star Matthew Fox has been sworn to secrecy about the hit show’s plot - as he’s the only cast member who knows how the series will end. The actor, who plays Dr. Jack Shepherd in the show, admits his fellow stars hope he’ll tell them what happens in the final episodes, which are set to be aired on TV in 2010. But Fox insists he will never reveal the plot - because he enjoys keeping his special secret. He says, “Yes, it’s true. They understand I can’t talk about it, but sometimes they’ll ask, just hoping I’ll blurt it out. “Besides, having a secret is fun.” I think what my 1^st grade teacher use to tell me, says it best. Secrets Secrets are no fun, Secrets Secrets hurt someone.

.

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz made it official: they tied the knot on Saturday. The pop singer - who recently released Bittersweet World - and the Fall Out Boy eye-liner wearing rocker got married in an intimate ceremony at her parents’ home in Encino, California. The marriage was officiated by Ashlee’s father, Joe Simpson. “We’re delighted to confirm that Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson were married this evening in front of family and close friends,” a spokesperson for the couple told People. Ashlee’s big sis Jessica - escorted by Tony Romo - was maid of honor. According to the magazine, the 150 guests included Nicole Richie and Joel Madden, as well as Cacee Cobb and Donald Faison. “Now that I’m doing it, I definitely have that big dream. It kind of went more fairytale than I thought. I got really into it,” Simpson told People on Friday. Wow, how B-List of the whole party. Is anyone else freaked out by her papa officiating the ceremony?

?

Will Smith is investing more than $1 million in a new school near his California home. The I Am Legend star has paid $889,000 to lease the Indian Hills High School in Calabasas, after failing to find a suitable institute for his two young children, Jaden, nine and Willow, seven. The actor and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith have, until now, been home schooling the pair. A spokesperson for Smith says of the school - renamed the New Village Academy of Calabasas: “Will is leasing the campus for three years, plus he’ll cover all costs such as utilities. “The academy will be run privately, and will include prekindergarten through grade six.” Um from what I heard he is part of that whole scientology crap.

Beyonce is reportedly in talks to join the cast of TV hit Desperate Housewives. The singer/actress’ manager father Matthew Knowles has allegedly already landed the “Crazy In Love” hitmaker a guest appearance on the program, but according to reports, he is looking to secure Beyonce a more prominent role. A source in the Knowles camp tells MediaTakeOut.com, “They’ve already agreed to give Beyonce a cameo appearance. But we’re hoping that she could be written in for a recurring role, or possibly even a permanent one.” Eh, I just don’t feel it. She is no Eva Longoria.

Britney Spears is being tipped for a regular spot on sitcom How I Met Your Mother, by Alyson Hannigan. Rumors have circulated the show’s bosses are considering Spears’ for a permanent turn on the show after ratings soared when she returned for a second stint, playing ditzy receptionist Abby on Monday evening’s episode. Hannigan, who worked with Spears on set, is keen for her to come back full time. She says, “She’s fantastic and just a really, really sweet girl.” And the actress describes the media circus surrounding Spears’ presence: “Well the first episode was a big hoopla. A helicopter followed her into work and people were taking pictures of her off the parking structure. It was pretty crazy. But the second time they moved her trailer to a more isolated location and the paparazzi sort of left her alone I guess. Is the top of her head… is it really that interesting?” Oh please make her a cast regular next season. I love comeback Britney.

And finally, Shania Twain and her husband, producer Robert “Mutt” Lange, have split, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. “Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert ‘Mutt’ Lange, are separating after 14 years of marriage,” spokesman Jason Owen says in a statement. “This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time.” Twain, 42, and Lange, 59, married in 1993, just six months after meeting. They are parents to a 6-year-old son, Eva D’Angelo. In 2002, Twain told PEOPLE of her and Lange’s relationship, “Our love has always been based on friendship and compatibility,” though, she added, “we are very different.” So I guess it does not payoff to be in a sexless cult now does it?

Carnon 4evah
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Happy Tuesday and away I go. So which of my excuses do you want to hear? Yeah I know it was Mother’s Day and my move, but still.

Everyone’s favorite newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon served up the perfect belated 50th birthday treat for comedienne/talk show host Ellen De Generes on Saturday, May 11 when they showed up for her all-star party. Mr. and Mrs. Cannon joined other celebrity couples Paris Hilton and Benji Madden, David and Courtney Cox Arquette and Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson at the bash, held on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank, California, where DeGeneres tapes her daily show. It was one of Carey and Cannon’s first events as man and wife. The couple wed in secret at the singer’s Bahamas retreat on April 30. Studio bosses created a carnival for the big party, complete with a ferris wheel, bumper cars and a carousel, while Pink and top DJ Samantha Ronson provided the event’s music. For kids reasons, I just hope that this Cannon has working cannon balls.

Tori Spelling, who played Donna Martin in the 90s hit teen show Beverly Hills 90210, is reportedly set to star in the spin-off, according to DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com. Her former costar Jennie Garth, confirmed she will reprise her role as Kelly Taylor. ”I am excited about it,” Spelling told Usmagazine.com in April. “In some way, every show that followed 90210 was a remake of 90210,” she said. “For the fans’ sake, I am really happy for them.” Oh thank God. Now please bring back that Brenda Bitch and I am in there. Oh who am I kidding, I already set up my Tivo to record the new 90210.

Miley Cyrus, the 15-year-old teen sensation most famous for Hannah Montana, but more recently for the controversial photo shoot for Vanity Fair, played at KIIS-FM’s Wango Tango over the weekend in Irvine, California. “We’re all changing,” Cyrus told the crowd Saturday onstage. “I thank you for helping me as I grow through that.” According to People, Cyrus avoided further explanation of recent trials by skipping the red carpet and dodging reporters at the event - but she did take time to thank her fans for supporting her through this rough time. Oh that Miley, always speaking her mind.

The Hills star Audrina Partridge is set to make her film debut in upcoming movie Into The Blue 2. Partridge, 22, who is set to play a beach beauty, will be the first from the cast of the reality MTV series to land an acting role in a feature film. The film, a sequel to the 2005 action adventure starring Jessica Alba, will center around a married couple hired as professional divers to search for hidden treasure. Wow, I wonder if it will go straight to DVD or right to MTV.

Representatives for both Pink and Entourage actor Jeremy Piven have denied the pair are dating. The “Stupid Girls” hit maker split from husband Carey Hart in February 2008, two years after marrying in January 2006. She has since been linked with Juliette And The Licks guitarist Todd Morse. Pink and Piven were spotted enjoying a night out at a New York club on Tuesday, May 6, and reportedly got up close and personal on the dancefloor - sparking rumors of a romance. Representatives for both stars confirmed they were both at the Green Door Club, but denied they are a couple. I just don’t see these two together. Maybe Pink and Carson Daly. That would be a good pair.

Jennifer Aniston will combine business with pleasure at the wrap party for her new film Marley + Me, after inviting boyfriend Jon Mayer to perform there. The cast and crew of the comedy plan to celebrate the end of filming at Nikki Beach in Coconut Grove May 10 - and Mayer is billed to give a special performance. In Touch magazine reports the wrap party was originally scheduled to take place on May 9, but it had to be rescheduled to allow the rocker to play. According to the publication, Mayer will perform three songs. An insider tells In Touch, “Everything was changed last minute so John could do this for her. He’s crazy about Jen.” The pair went public with their romance on a Miami beach last month, when they were snapped kissing and cuddling. Mayer has since hinted that the romance reports are true, insisting the camera never lies.

And finally, Brooke Hogan is lashing out about “lies [that] were told” at her brother Nick Bollea’s trial last week. In a MySpace post, which she soon pulled, Hogan criticized the public perception of her brother. “Before you judge anybody, make sure you really know them,” she writes. “I promise you if you were to meet my brother he would give you the shirt off his back.” Wow, but the victim is now in a wheelchair.

Jordan’s Fine After All
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Happy Tuesday Kiddies and away I go. Well I am officially situated in my new pad. It is a maximum pad, or as I call it, my maxi-pad. Wait, what?One of my teenaged faves Miley Cyrus prefers to cover up when it comes to fashion - despite recently posing half naked for a Vanity Fair magazine shoot. The Hannah Montana star sparked controversy when the candid snaps - which show Cyrus posing bare-backed, wrapped in a satin sheet - emerged online, forcing the 15-year-old to issue an apology over the controversial Annie Leibovitz photos. But she insists she is nothing like that in real life, and likes to wear more “modest” fashion choices when she’s out and about. She says, “All the clothes - all the short skirts and all that stuff - my mom would never in a million years let me leave the house like that. “So I think that a really cool thing that everyone’s doing now is layering, just to keep yourself modest and cute. “My aunt got me a shirt that says, ‘Modest is Hottest’ which is totally true.” Yeah but her breasts are the bests.

Thankfully Jordan Sparks is back at work, and playing down reports she almost lost her singing voice for good. The AI singer was ordered to rest her voice last month after it was discovered she was suffering from an acute vocal cord hemorrhage, which, in some cases, can lead to permanent vocal damage. She canceled a series of concerts, but returned to the stage last week and spent the weekend on the streets of Los Angeles shooting a new music video. And Sparks insists her illness was never as bad as was reported. She says, “They were saying I would never sing again, and I knew I could because, well, it’s my throat. My career could have been in jeopardy if I hadn’t done anything about it. But I knew something was wrong and that I needed to get it checked out.” Oh thank God, I wonder if Taylor Hicks suffers from acute vocal cord hemorrhage. No wait, my bad, he just sucks.

Pregnant teenager Jamie Lynn Spears has hosted an intimate baby shower at her parents’ home in Kentwood, Louisiana. The 17-year-old actress stunned the world when she confirmed in December she was expecting her first child, and is reportedly set to become a mom in June. And ahead of the birth, the star gathered family and friends for a party in her hometown on Saturday, May 3, inviting around 30 guests, including her older sister Britney for the ladies only celebration. I wonder if they served juice and cookies at the shindig.

Speaking of Britney, she and K-Fed are due back in court on Tuesday for a progress review in the ongoing custody battle over their two children. Federline was given full custody of Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, after Spears staged a stand-off with police, emergency services officials and childcare experts when she refused to handover her sons following a scheduled visit in January. The former couple has been battling the custody order ever since, but Federline recently relaxed his ex-wife’s visitation rights, allowing her to spend extra time with her kids. The pair will now appear at Los Angeles Family Court to re-evaluate the situation, and the hearing is expected to discuss the results of a psychiatrist’s evaluation of Spears. Oh please, give Britney her visitation rights back, she has done so well over the past few months.

Batman fans have cleaned out New York toy stores’ entire supply of Heath Ledger’s Joker action figure, within minutes of them going on sale. Devotees of the comic book series lined up early to clear shelves of the $9.99 toy, which shows Ledger in his final completed role before his premature death in January from an accidental drug overdose, aged just 29. An employee of Times Square’s Toys R Us store says, “There are none left in the warehouse. You will be waiting a while if you want one.” Some fans are believed to be buying up stock, convinced the figure is a collector’s item - others are selling them on auction site eBay for up to $55 each. Well that is kind of weird, I guess he is more popular during his death, than when he was alive, but can’t they let him rest in peace. .

2 more than I am going to enjoy a nice Coors lite. Jon Mayer has hinted that magazine reports claiming he is romancing Jennifer Aniston are true - and admits he loves the press attention he is getting as a result. The pair was snapped embracing on a Miami, Florida beach last week, prompting speculation they are an item. Mayer had refused to speak out about the rumors until Monday night - when he almost revealed all to reporters at New York’s Costume Institute Gala. The 30-year-old said of the tabloid claims, “You know what I did? I looked at it (the reports) and I said, ‘That’s about right.’ What am I going to say, ‘That’s not me?’” Oh Man, they make a really cute couple. Good for them.

And finally, People.com reports that Scarlett Johansson, 23, and Ryan Reynolds, 31, are engaged. “They’re both thrilled,” Marcel Pariseau, rep for Johansson, told the magazine. Johansson’s first album, Anywhere I Lay My Head is slated for a May 20 release, and she will be seen in upcoming features Vicky Cristina Barcelona and He’s Just Not That Into You. Reynolds, who was previously engaged to Alanis Morisette, is currently at work in Boston shooting The Proposal. According to People, Johansson will show off her new rock in New York City Monday night at the Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala. Wow, good for them. I bet Ryan will have a blast with those beautiful sweater puppies that she has got.

Update Part Duex
Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Yeah, I know I updated this morning, but this is a big deal.

The New York Post is reporting that supposed newlyweds Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon, did not sign a pre-nup. “There was no pre-nup - there wasn’t time,” a source tells the paper. Latina magazine was first to report that got married in a ceremony on an island on Wednesday. A source told the magazine that their decision to elope was “very impulsive,” and that Da Brat was in attendance for the nuptials. The pair spent some time together in March when Cannon directed Carey’s video for “Bye Bye,” and at that time Carey, who divorced Tommy Mottola in 1998, told Us magazine that it was “very nice” working with Cannon. Wow, so do you think like Ash she is preggers? Or just stupid.

Former American basketball star Dennis Rodman has been arrested on suspicion of felony domestic battery. The former husband of Carmen Electra was arrested on suspicion of attacking his girlfriend during an incident at Los Angeles’ Century City hotel on Wednesday. The 46-year-old was released on Thursday morning on $50,000 bail. A spokesman for the star tells website TMZ.com the incident was alcohol induced. I am sorry, douche-bag says what?

Miley makes the mouse mad
Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Happy Wednesday Kiddies and away I go. Tomorrow is part 1 of my moving day…So hopefully I will update again Monday or Tuesday of next week, sorry but I gotsa do what I gotsa do. And away I go.Disney execs are doing the unthinkable. They are trying to push Miley Cyrus aside and replace her with a more clean-cut teen star, according to reports. The 15-year-old’s image has been damaged by the release of ’sexy’ images of her in June’s 2008 edition of Vanity Fair magazine. E! blogger Marc Malkin claims the Disney corporation is deeply unhappy with Cyrus and her bosses are already lining up a replacement in 15-year-old Selena Gomez, who has starred alongside Cyrus in her Hannah Montana TV show. Malkin writes, “I’m told Disney executives are so worried about Cyrus’ recent controversies that, more than ever, they want to make Gomez an even bigger star.” So they show a pic of her resting her head on her father’s groinal area, what’s the big deal?

The Empire State Building isn’t the only thing lighting up in honor of Mariah Carey. Her hand is too. The singer wore a gigantic ring on a very important finger at the after party for her film, Tennessee Saturday night-and Nick Cannon remained by her side the entire night, reports PEOPLE. According to the mag, the pair held hands at the Cadillac Lounge at Tenjune. The pair were also spotted canoodling on April 14 in Vegas. Cannon’s rep had no comment while Carey’s was not available for comment. And while her new album E=mc2 is currently breaking records, she has a really big fan in Cannon. When asked what he loved about Carey he told PEOPLE, “Everything.” Wait, I forget. Was Nick Cannon Keenan or Kel?

American Idol judge Paula Abdul was left red-faced after making an embarrassing blunder on the hit reality TV show. The singer was flummoxed after the series’ producers changed the judging format from the usual pattern of appraising each contest after they had sung to waiting until all five had performed. When asked to appraise first performer Jason Castro, Abdul gave her opinions on two performances - even though each singer had only sung once. She told contestant Jason Castro, “Oh gosh, we’ve never had to write these things down … fast enough. Jason, first song, I loved hearing your lower register, which we never really hear, um … . “The second song, I felt like your usual charm wasn’t - it was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty. The two songs made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.” The audience launched into nervous laughter, before fellow judge Randy Jackson reminded Abdul each performer had only sung once, telling her, “That was just on the first song. Just on the first one.” She responded, “Oh my god, I thought you - I thought you sang twice!” before explaining she had got mixed up with her notes for the next performer, David Cook. Man do I love drunken Paula.

Kate Hudson has topped the Most Beautiful People list People after landing the cover of the annual beauties issue. People editors chose Hudson as their cover model for her natural beauty, pointing out the actress “doesn’t owe her famous sun-kissed looks to thousands of hours logged at a spa”. The former Mrs. Black Crow beat out Salma Hayek, Mary J. Blige, and Bruce Willis and Demi Moore’s eldest daughter Rumer Willis, who poses provocatively on a picnic table, wearing a gothic dress and ankle-length dominatrix boots for her picture. Also named on the new World’s Most Beautiful People list are comedienne Sarah Silverman, Christina Applegate, new mom Isla Fisher, the cast of TV phenomenon Gossip Girl and celebrity couples Jessica Alba and Cash Warren and Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. Wow, the entire cast of Gossip Girl? Even that big queen Dan Humphrey?

Dancing With The Stars dancer Karina Smirnoff denies reports she has split with actor Mario Lopez. The couple met when they partnered on the hit TV show and they moved in together last year. Recent reports suggest Smirnoff is romantically linked to her latest dance partner, musician Mario and has split with her live-in lover. However, the dance star insists the couple is still together - but are going through a rough patch. She tells Usmagazine.com, “You know, everybody goes through ups and downs in their relationships. That’s kind of a given, and it’s normal. But Mario and I are going strong. No, Albert Clifford Slater may be many of things, but he is not a cheater. He never cheated on Jessie Spano.

And finally, Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis has offered call-girl Ashley Dupre $1 million to drop a lawsuit against him - and wants her to take up a job with his company. Ashley Dupre is seeking more than $10 million in damages in a lawsuit filed on Monday, April 28. Dupre alleges that Girls Gone Wild representatives approached her while she was vacationing in Florida in 2003 and offered her alcohol before encouraging her to expose her breasts for their cameras when she was just 17. The suit claims Girls Gone Wild has illegally exploited Dupre’s name, picture, voice and likeness in a number of deceptive ad campaigns and on websites. On Tuesday, Francis offered her $1 million to drop the case because he thinks she has “zero” chance of winning the suit - and has even offered the aspiring songstress the opportunity to work with him hosting Girls Gone Wild events. Wow, good stuff. I really have to dig up my old copies of GGW and see what I can find.
