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.

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

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.

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.

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?
