Happy Wednesday Kiddies and away I go.
 

Alleged couple Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have split, according to online reports.  The pair had been linked since they were snapped kissing and cuddling during a party at the Cannes International Film Festival in France in May.  They further fuelled rumors of a romance after they spent Father’s Day in the U.S. together last month with their kids from previous relationships.  Hudson was also spotted introducing the cyclist to her actress mom Goldie Hawn at a California restaurant earlier this month.  However, according to online celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, the couple have decided to call it a day.  I guess how could you make love to a guy with one nut.  I don’t blame you at all Kate.
 

 

Former Saved by the Bell star Mario Lopez has landed a new job – he has been named as the new anchor for entertainment show Extra.  The hunk is set to take over from current host and Sugar Ray lead rocker Mark McGrath when the show returns for its 15th season in September.  Wow, and Screech Is stuck doing Celebrity Fat Club.

 

Now a little update on a story I reported back on Monday.  Police say another motorist was to blame for the car crash that injured Hollywood actor Shia LaBeouf, who was subsequently charged with drunken driving.   ”The other car ran a red light and, if not already, they will be cited,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore told Usmagazine.com. “They will now be listed as Party One on the report, indicating they were at fault.”  The misdemeanor drunken driving charge against LaBeouf still stands, Whitmore said.   LaBeouf “Transformers” co-star, Isabel Lucas, was a passenger in his truck at the time of the accident early Sunday morning, a source told Usmagazine.com.   Both Lucas and the driver of the other car escaped injury. LaBeouf, however, has since undergone extensive hand surgery and won’t be able to work on “Transformers 2″ for a month.   Ok, so maybe Shia is not so douchey after all.  Next time I am in LA, I will ride near you.

 

Britney Spears is proving she has put her bitter custody battle with ex-husband Kevin Federline behind her by enjoying a fun-filled Mexican holiday.  The “Toxic” star appeared to be enjoying herself as she sunbathed with pals on a beach in Mexico, and even sparked rumors of a budding romance after dancing intimately with a mystery man.  Spears and the unnamed male laughed and joked as they mock ballroom-danced around the pool – with the singer showing off her newly toned and tanned body as the man put her through her moves.  Woohoo.  No more K-Fed in your life and that’s a good thing.
 

 

Nick Carter has healed a long-standing rift with his mother following her arrest on Thursday.  The singer and his brother, pop star Aaron Carter, cut mom Jane – their former manager – out of their lives in 2005, claiming she was more concerned with money then being a good parent.  A warrant was issued for Jane Carter’s arrest after she missed a Florida court appointment, scheduled to settle her split from ex-husband John Holcomb.  But Nick, 28, is now ready to patch things up with his estranged mother and has even voiced his support for her.  He tells Usmagazine.com, “I love my mother and offer her my full support in these unfortunate circumstances.”  Yeah, keep family close Nick.  Except for that skeezy brother of yours Aaron.  Just send him off to Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew.
 

 

Justin Timberlake has hit back at Ashton Kutcher’s claims he made trucker caps popular, insisting he sported the style long before the actor did.  The “SexyBack” hitmaker maintains that he and his William Rast fashion line partner and childhood friend, Trace Ayala, were responsible for making the hats cool.  Timberlake says, “It’s funny. I keep hearing Ashton Kutcher say how he was responsible for trucker caps. I’ve heard him make that statement before.  “Trace and I were wearing them when we were seventeen. We just kind of didn’t care. We kind of still don’t.”  Hum, interesting.  The next thing I am going to hear is that Ashton invented the concept of pulling pranks on celebrities.
 

 

And finally, Disney bosses have denied reports the forthcoming Hannah Montana series will be singer/actress Miley Cyrus last – despite the teen sensation admitting it was time the show ended.  Cyrus shot to fame in the Disney favorite at aged 11, and is currently preparing to shoot the third season of the hit show.  The young star – now 15 – told America’s E! News that she thought it may be time to hang up the Montana mantle, as she had been working so hard on the show for nearly five years.  She said, “We’re thinking this is our last season.  “I just think we did a lot of episodes. We basically did two seasons in one last year. Usually people would do one season that would be, like, 16 episodes, and we did almost 30 episodes!”  When is the big charade going to end, and we find out that Miley really is 28 years old?  That’s what I want to know, and now.

Happy Monday Kiddies and away I go.  BTW, I don’t know who will have the opportunity to do this, but if Kenny Chesney comes to your town, go see him.

 
Shia LaBeouf is recovering from “extensive” surgery on his hand after a car accident early Sunday, his representative has confirmed.   LaBeouf, the 22-year-old star of “Transformers” and “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” was arrested after the accident for alleged drunken driving.   ”Attorneys for Mr. LaBeouf confirm that an automobile accident involving an additional party occurred early morning in Los Angeles on July 27, 2008,” publicist Melissa Kates said in a statement issued to People.com Sunday night. “Shia is currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of ‘Transformers 2′ within one month. No further comment will be issued at this time.”   Police told People.com that LaBeouf was treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for injuries to his head, left hand and knee.  Remind me the next time I am in LA to stay away from this maniac.

 
 

 

 

Rebecca Romijn-O’Connell is pregnant with twins, a representative for her and her husband, actor Jerry O’Connell, has confirmed to People.com.   The babies, who are due this winter, will be the first children for the couple.   Romijn and O’Connell married last July after dating for about three years.   The model-turned-actress is best known for her roles in the “X-Men” movies and the TV series “Ugly Betty.”   O’Connell’s film credits include “Stand By Me,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Kangaroo Jack.” He has also starred in the TV shows “My Secret Identity,” “Sliders,” “Crossing Jordan” and “Carpoolers.’  And she better get her banging body back quick.  Hollywood does not like heffers.

 
 

 

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have asked U2 star Bono to be the godfather of their newborn twins, according to reports.  The couple – who welcomed son Knox Leon and daughter Vivienne Marcheline in France earlier this month – were keen for the rocker to take on the role because they are impressed by his humanitarian work.  And the new parents are reportedly delighted after he accepted their offer.  A source tells British newspaper the Sunday Mirror: “Brad and Angie think the world of Bono. They have been friends for years. Brad is a massive U2 fan and told Bono how much he admired him when they were introduced at a party a few years back.  Man I want to be part of that celebrity entourage.

 
 

 

Lindsay Lohan is recovering after she was hit by a motorcyclist in New York on Saturday.  The Mean Girls star had spent the evening clubbing with her friend Samantha Ronson and had just left the venue when the biker collided with her as they crossed the road.  Lohan was treated at Midtown Manhattan’s Beth Israel Medical Centre and checked herself out of hospital at around 4 a.m.  Her father Michael says, “She’s not hurt. That’s all I really care about.”  A spokesperson for Lohan has confirmed she is “fine”.   Fine?  As opposed to being a drunken mess of a lesbian?

 
 

 

Britney Spears is “thrilled” her custody battle with Kevin Federline is over – because she can now concentrate on “getting better”.  Federline and Spears finally agreed on the custody of their two sons, Sean Preston, two, and Jayden James, one, during a hearing at Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday.  Spears was ordered to increase her monthly child support by $5,000. There were no amendments to Spears’ visitation rights – she currently enjoys three days and one night a week with her sons.  But Spears’ attorney Laura Wasser says the singer is delighted with the agreement – because her sons inspire her to improve her mental health.  I guess this is a positive.  Keep up the good work on everything Britney.

 
 

 

Jordin Sparks has revealed that she had a crush on Chris Brown.  And further more she was heart-broken when she found out that he is shaking up with Rhianna.  Sparks collaborated with singer Brown on the track No Air and the 18-year-old hoped they could become more than just friends.  But the teenager was crushed when she learned he was dating Umbrella hitmaker Rhianna.  She says, “Chris is so hot. I had a crush on him for a couple of years and, well, I still do.  “Rhianna came to the video shoot. I didn’t know they were dating – they were doing the ‘just good friends’ thing in the media – and I thought ‘Oooh, maybe I have a chance’.  “But it’s not to be. They are a sweet couple. I wish them all the best.”   Don’t you become a home-wrecker now Jordin.  Be a good girl and step aside.

 
 

And finally,  Miley Cyrus, who performed at the Today Show Friday morning, says it’s difficult being in the spotlight at such a young age, especially when it comes to hanging out with boys.   ”It is hard when you are hanging out with guys, even guys that are just your friends. [He's] automatically your boyfriend, because that’s what the media thinks. I think it’s good if you can be able to have guy and girl friends that, you know, understand you… and it stinks when we go out; people automatically think we’re together.”  The singer has been linked to Joe Jonas in the past.   Yeah, go cry me a river you big Mary.

Happy Thursday Kiddies and away I go. 

Ben Affleck’s mother has become the latest person to let slip about her daughter-in-law Jennifer Garner’s baby news, reportedly confirming Hollywood’s worst-kept secret at a family wedding. When her actor son and his wife failed to make it to the Cape Cod nuptials on July 12, Chris Affleck told nosy guests that Garner “wasn’t up for the trip”. And when guests pressed her for more information, grandma Chris left them with no doubt there is soon to be another family addition. An eyewitness tells Life & Style magazine, “She put her hands on her tummy, patted it gently and gave a huge smile. Then she leaned in and said ‘Baby number two!’” Wow, good for them. Ben Affleck would be a fantastic stay-at-home dad, I mean with his successful career and everything.

 

 

The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie conceived their new twins through in-vitro fertilization. A source told the magazine, “They conceived through in vitro fertilization. They both desperately wanted more babies soon.” And Jolie opted for the pricy procedure so “she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant,” the source said. “She could just knock it out.” Wow, I guess Brad was shooting blanks. For Real.

 

 

 

According to The Dallas Morning News, Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas have purchased a home in the Westlake section of Dallas, Texas. The newspaper reports that the brothers granted power of attorney to their mother, Denise, in order to close the deal. Documents signed June 12 indicate that the “When You Look Me in the Eyes” singers are now the proud owners of a six-bedroom house in a gated community in the suburb of Westlake in Tarrant County. And the real estate agent on the deal (who listed the house for more than $2.8 million) confirmed that the house had been sold – but made no further comment to the paper. Wow, good for them. But I want them to stay in the dirty Jerz Where there roots are.

 

 

Usher regrets not spending more time with his father before he died in January.  The “Yeah!” singer reconciled with Usher Terry Raymond III after spending much of his life estranged from his parent – and now wishes he had had more time to get to know his dad. Usher admits he was too busy to sit down and talk to the man he always thought had deserted him as a child. He says, “Instead of being there when he was sick, I was working. “There was no amount of money that could have fixed my father’s health, but I could have just spent that time with him.” Now a father himself, Usher accepts there were reasons why his own dad couldn’t be around for him when he was younger. Oh, I am the only one singing Circle Of Life from The Lion King in my head right now.

 

 

 

And finally, Adam Levine loves to play pranks while the band is on tour – even hiring a group of male strippers to surprise girl rockers The Donna’s. Levine organized for the hunks to arrive backstage dressed as policemen in a bid to scare the all-female group.  But his practical joke was soon revealed when the officers began to strip off. He tells New York gossip column Page Six, “We were on tour with the Donnas, and we were partying backstage and we hired male strippers. So these male cheese ball strippers came in and the Donnas were panicking. “These guys kind of looked like cops, enough to fool them. Once everyone realized they were strippers, one of the guys plugged in the music to start dancing, and by then everyone was over it, and it was extraordinarily uncomfortable.” Wow, now that is classy Adam. Way to suit up.
