Tim Allen’s wife Jane has given birth to a daughter in Los Angeles, the film and television actor’s publicist said. Baby Elizabeth was born Saturday and is the couple’s first child together. Tim Allen also has a 19-year-old daughter Katherine from his first marriage. “Tim and Jane are thrilled with the arrival of their daughter and are doing great,” publicist Marleah Leslie said in a statement. Tim Allen is best known for his work on the TV show Home Improvement, as well as in two Toy Story films, three Santa Clause movies and the big-screen comedy Wild Hogs. I am amazed his wee-wee is still working.

 

 

Well this is quite exciting. New York is really working it. Tiffany Pollard — who got her first taste of fame on two seasons of Flavor of Love and then went on to star in her own spin-offs, I Love New York and New York Goes to Hollywood — is coming back to VH1 on a new show called New York Goes to Work. According to The New York Post, cameras will follow New York as she goes to a new job each week, listing possible positions at a sewer plant, a fast-food restaurant and a mortuary. Viewers will vote by sending a text message to determine which job she’ll take. And if she sticks with it for a week without quitting or getting fired, she’ll earn $5,000. Well can one of her new jobs be a stripper. I mean she paid for those giant fake boobs, she might as well shake what her doctor gave her.

 

 

Josh Hartnett had a health scare that landed him in L.A.’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for observation early Monday morning, his rep confirms. The Pearl Harbor star, 30, was staying at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood when he began complaining of abdominal pain a little before 2 a.m. Monday. An ambulance arrived quickly, and he was able to walk into it on his own, his rep, Susan Patricola, said in a statement. Hartnett suffered a “flare-up” of an ongoing gastrointestinal problem that has been bothering him for the last several months while he was performing in London in the stage version of Rain Man. See you hang out with Kirsten Dunst and bad things are going to happen to you.

 

 

Jennifer Love Hewitt can raise someone’s spirits – whether they’re the troubled dead people on her show Ghost Whisperer or her real-life ailing boyfriend. Jamie Kennedy, 38, who earlier this month revealed that he’s dating Miss Hewitt, since earlier this month, was vacationing with Hewitt Tuesday in Mexico when he started feeling very sick with kidney stones, a source close to Kennedy tells PEOPLE. The two flew back to Los Angeles Wednesday morning and Jamie went straight to the hospital. “He had comedy shows scheduled in Boston, but he canceled them because of his kidney stones,” says the source. “He felt better later in the day and went home, but on Thursday he started hurting again and he went back to the hospital.” I swear Jamie, if you hurt her, I will gut you.

 

 

 

Candy Spelling is starting a new chapter in her life, which includes writing a frank memoir called Stories From Candyland – and selling the $150 million, 56,000-square-foot mansion where she’s lived since 1991. Spelling, whose book is due out March 31, plans to move from her five-acre French Chateau-style mansion into a $47 million condo with 17,000 square feet; the same footage as her current attic. But she tells news reporters that she’d never have put Spelling Manor on the market if she thought she’d reconcile with her estranged daughter Tori, her husband Dean, and their two children, Liam and Stella. “I don’t see Tori and Dean anymore,” the 63-year-old grandmother tells PEOPLE. “I used to see Liam, but no longer. And I’ve never met Stella.” Well maybe it is because she is a bad person. That is my guess.

 

 

“Monsters vs. Aliens” scared up movie fans on its opening weekend, overcoming mixed reviews to conquer the top spot at the box office for the year so far. The 3-D face-off between old-time Hollywood monsters from the 1950s and invading extraterrestrials launched itself into first place with a $58.2 million debut, according to studio estimates. Featuring the voices of Reese Witherspoon and Paul Rudd, movie was the year’s biggest debut so far, topping the $55.2 million first weekend of “Watchmen” earlier this month. Horror flick “The Haunting in Connecticut” opened in second place with $23 million, whie “Knowing,” last weekend’s top movie, slipped to third with $14.7 million. “I Love You, Man” stayed strong in fourth place with $12.6 million, “Duplicity” earned the No. 5 spot with $7.6 million, and the weekend’s other new action thriller, “12 Rounds,” landed in seventh place with $5.3 million. See, you make a good movie and it will be successful.

 

 

 

And finally, “High School Music 3: Senior Year” graduated with honors Saturday at the Kids Choice Awards. The Disney musical was selected as the favorite movie by audience votes at the 22nd annual slime-filled Nickelodeon spectacle held inside UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion. “High School Musical” star Vanessa Hudgens was also selected as the favorite movie actress. “Lately, a lot of people have been taking credit for bringing back the musical,” Zac Efron said while accepting the movie’s trophy. “The truth is we’ve known who’s been responsible for bringing back the musical all along. It was you guys!” The show’s hijinks kicked off with host and “Race to Witch Mountain” star Dwayne Johnson zip-lining over the audience of screaming teens and tweens into a “slime temple.” Johnson proceeded to spray the first row with gooey green slime. Other shenanigans included squirting singer Jesse McCartney with a fake microphone and Will Farrell slipping and sliding down a hill. Winners included “iCarly” for TV show, “American Idol” for reality show, Jonas Brothers for music group and “Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa” for animated movie. Jack Black arrived in motorcycle sidecar to pick up his award for favorite voice from an animated film for “Kung Fu Panda.” I swear, only Nickelodeon would honor High School Musical.

Natasha Richardson’s family donated the organs of the beloved British-born actress following her death last week, a source told People magazine. The film and stage star died in a New York hospital last Wednesday at the age of 45 following a skiing accident in which she sustained a fatal head injury. People.com said Richardson’s family requested that after she was removed from life support her organs be given to patients who need them. The Web site quoted a source close to the family as saying organ donation “is very Natasha.” “She spent so much time fighting the stigma of AIDS; someone like that would naturally donate her organs. At least by donating her organs something good could come out of this tragedy the friend said. Wow, look at her stepping up. Is it bad that nothing is checked on the back of my drivers license? I am not donating anything…I harvested all my own organs…Ha Organs.

 

 

Denise Richards and her professional dance partner became the second couple booted off of this season’s Dancing with the Stars in Los Angeles. Richards and Maksim Chmerkovskiy learned their fate Tuesday night. Their fellow competitors, the injured Steve-O and Steve Wozniak, earned the lowest scores from the judges after dancing Monday night but support from their fans kept them in the competition. “I had fun! When else am I going to get to dress up like this, work with someone like Maks and be able to do a family show that my daughters can watch together?” Richards — an actress, reality television personality and mother of two young daughters — told People magazine after the live results show Tuesday night. See, from what I heard, she was a total diva hose beast backstage. Good Riddance.

 

 

Miss Britney Spears’s divorce from ex-husband Kevin Federline has cost her a staggering $460,000 in legal fees. Court documents filed in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday by Spears’ attorneys indicate the singer has been forced to pay more than $2.7 million to her lawyers over the last 11 months, including the cost of her divorce and custody battle which ended her two-and-a-half year marriage to Federline. She has also had to part with $113,000 to fight a civil suit against a former manager in a Florida court as well as another $26,000 for a traffic case stemming from August 2007, when she was caught driving without a valid license. Spears paid an additional $4,600 to hire a private messenger to deliver confidential legal documents as well as another $25 to book a private courthouse to keep the legal proceedings out of the media spotlight . Spears previously paid $374,000 to cover Federline’s legal fees, which were not included in the accounts. Eh, I would take about 50 bucks to marry her, just to slip it inside her, if you know what I am talking about.

 

 

Rihanna is determined to give herself a fresh start following her alleged fight with boyfriend Chris Brown last month – the singer has been spotted house hunting in Los Angeles. The “Kiss Kiss” hitmaker has been accused of assaulting Rihanna during the February 8 incident, which left the Umbrella star beaten and bruised. Rihanna slipped away from the spotlight following the spat, spending time in her native Barbados, a holiday resort in Mexico and Puffy’s Florida home before returning to work in L.A. And now the star is reportedly looking to buy a new home in the city after she was spotted embarking on a house hunting tour of properties in the Hollywood Hills on Monday afternoon. Rihanna viewed three houses including a $6.25 million home, once owned by Jerry Seinfeld and boasting three bedrooms, five bathrooms, pool and a hot tub, according to Usmagazine.com. Good. The further away you can get from Chris Brown, the better.

 

 

 

Isaiah Washington may be getting kicked to the curb. The actor and his wife, Jenisa, are allegedly $100,000 behind on rent for their Los Angeles home and may be facing eviction, according to court documents filed Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif. The posh home sits amid the picturesque canals near Venice Beach. Around April 2008, the former Grey’s Anatomy star, 45, allegedly agreed in writing to pay $20,000 monthly in rent, with an option to buy the home, but then neglected to pay for the past five months, the documents say. On March 19, a notice was posted on the property informing the Washingtons they had three days to pay up or move out. It’s unclear whether or not they vacated the premises. See that’s what gay-haters get. Serves him right.

 

 

 

Leonardo DiCaprio should prepare to be slimed. Nickelodeon has announced the actor, 34, will be honored with the first-ever “Big Green Help Award” at Saturday’s Kids Choice Awards taking place out in Los Angeles. The award recognizes DiCaprio’s dedication as an environmental activist, as well as his inspiring work, which includes directing and producing the award-winning environmental documentary The 11th Hour, an eco-focused Web Site and a namesake foundation. In October, the actor told People Magazine that environmental policies are “a moral issue and a patriotic issue.” DiCaprio’s longtime friend Cameron Dias another eco-minded star will be presenting him with the award.

 

 

And finally, this might be a wedding that I want to get invited to. Besides the bride, the groom and the officiate, what’s the most important thing at a wedding? When it’s the wedding of Observe and Report star Anna Faris, it’s the Margaritas. “We’re thinking something really sort of low key for sure,” Faris, 32, tells PEOPLE about her wedding plans, joking that it might be Mexican-themed. “Something that involves a lot of Margaritas, maybe!” The bride-to-be, who in January confirmed her engagement to Bride Wars star Chris Pratt, 29, says the planning’s “going slowly” but that she doesn’t want a lot of hubbub, anyway. “A lot of alcohol and no drama! No fuss, that’s the most important thing. Warm would be great,” she says. “I just get to play and get my hair and make-up done in my professional life, so I don’t really know if I want that fuss for my wedding. I want simple.” Damn, if only she has the Margarita Man there.

I hate to start the day with sad news, but a private funeral was held Sunday in upstate New York for British-born film and stage actress Natasha Richardson, who died last week after a skiing accident. Among the 50 or so mourners in attendance were Richardson’s husband Liam Neeson; their sons, Michael, 13, and Daniel, 12; her mother Vanessa Redgrave; her sister Joely Richardson; her aunt Lynn Redgrave and friends of the family such as Blaine Trump, Mia Farrow, Ralph Fiennes, Sarah Jessica Parker, Matthew Broderick, Uma Thurman, Alan Rickman, Timothy Dalton and Laura Linney, reports said. People.com said Neeson was one of the pallbearers who carried Richardson’s casket into the hour-long funeral at St. Peter’s Church in Millbrook, N.Y., the town where Richardson and Neeson were married 14 years ago and shared a home. Wow, that is insane.

 

 

To continue with the sad news, Jade Goody’s funeral is to be conducted in the next two weeks and will be screened live on television, the late British reality TV star’s publicist said. The Big Brother favorite died of cervical cancer Sunday at the age of 27.  Publicist Max Clifford told The Daily Telegraph her funeral will take place at St. John the Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, England. “Jade wanted a celebration of her life. It will be very much a Jade Goody Production with Jade doing her own thing her own way,” Clifford told the newspaper. “It will be a celebration, but of course there will be a lot of tears.” The BBC said hundreds of people have visited the TV star’s Upshire home since her death to offer messages of condolence or leave flowers, candles and cards.  England’s Prime Minister Gordon Brown called Goody “a courageous woman” and said he was “deeply saddened” by the news of her death. “The whole country has admired her determination to provide a bright future for her children,” the BBC quoted Brown as saying. “She will be remembered fondly by all who knew her and her family can be extremely proud of the work she has done to raise awareness of cervical cancer, which will benefit thousands of women across the United Kingdom.” Damn, I became a fan of hers last year, while watching clips of her on Celebrity Big Brother across the pond.

 

 

Bicycle rider Matt Lauer was forced to miss Monday’s taping of the Today show after he was hurt trying to avoid a collision with a deer on Long Island, N.Y. “He was riding his bike over the weekend and he had a run-in with a deer,” Today co-host Meredith Vieira said. The 51-year-old Lauer’s shoulder was injured when he was thrown from his bike while trying not to hit the animal, but Vieira said his sense of humor appeared fine as he quipped in an e-mail that he thought “the deer was hired by the competition.” “I’d hire the deer — but just to graze him,” Vieira told Lester Holt, who covered for Lauer on Monday’s program. The Today Show Web site did not say when Lauer will return to the show. I wonder if he had any idear what happened. Get it? Oh that old gag.

 

 

Hollywood film star Bruce Willis has married model Emma Heming in a small ceremony in Parrot Cay in the Turks & Caicos Islands southeast of the Bahamas. People.com said the wedding took place Saturday at the actor’s vacation home. Guests included Willis’ ex-wife, actress Demi Moore, their three daughters and Moore’s current husband, actor Ashton Kutcher. Willis’ publicist told People.com the couple, who had been dating for about a year, are planning to make their marriage legal at a civil ceremony when they return to California. Willis is best known for his roles in the TV show Moonlighting and in the Die Hard movies. Ugh, why were Demi and Ashton there? You know my theory, you don’t bring sand to the beach.

 

 

 

Oscar winner Robin Williams is expected to make a complete recovery from his recent heart surgery in the next two months and plans to resume his comedy tour afterward, his representatives said on Monday. Williams, 57, one of Hollywood’s leading comedians and known for his manic stand-up routine steeped in wacky accents and improvisation, had surgery on March 13 at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. “His heart is strong and he will have normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he’ll be able to do,” Dr. A. Marc Gillinov, a cardiothoracic surgeon at the clinic, said in a statement.   The operation was done to replace Williams’ aortic valve, repair his mitral valve and correct an irregular heartbeat. Williams postponed his “Weapons of Self-Destruction” comedy tour earlier this month to undergo the procedure after complaining of shortness of breath. He was in Florida at the time and was first treated at the University of Miami Hospital. See I thought he was an avid drug abuser in years past, and that might have weakened his heart.

 

 

 

 

Dance Sensation Lady Gaga turned her back on the love of her life – because he wanted her to give up her career to become a housewife. The “Just Dance” hitmaker was left heartbroken after she was forced to choose between her unnamed ex and her passion for pop. She eventually made a decision to focus all her energies into her music, but still pines for her lost love. But the singer is adamant she made the right choice – insisting she will never be let down by her art. She says, “I’ve only ever really been in love once. He didn’t want me to do this job. He wanted me to stay at home, so I left. It broke my heart but also made me realize music is my first love. “My music’s never going to roll over in bed one morning and tell me it doesn’t love me anymore. I have a problem with rejection.” See the name Mama Gaga just does not have the same ring to it.

 

 

Pop star Justin Timberlake and girlfriend Jessica Biel fueled reports their relationship is in trouble after they failed to show up at a casino opening. The couple, dating since 2007, has recently been dogged by rumors they plan to split, with a source telling The Chicago Sun-Times: “Things are not going as smoothly as they would want people to think they are.” The stars then added to the speculation when they failed to deliver a scheduled promotional appearance at the launch of an Indiana Live Casino in Shelbyville, Indiana on March 13. And their absence infuriated many members of the 8,000-strong audience.   Guest Marian Flemming says, “It was ridiculous. They promised us that Justin and Jessica were going to be here, so we came down to check out the new casino and had hoped to see the two stars. When they did not show up, we simply felt cheated.” Yeah, I have a feeling that Justin does not want to be tied down.

 

 

And finally, Surviving TLC members Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins and Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas are reuniting for a tour of Japan. The two stars have not played a major show together since the tragic death of rapper Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes, who perished in a car crash in Honduras in 2002. But the “No Scrubs” hitmaker are coming back together to perform a series of live dates in Japan – although the tour plans have yet to be officially announced. In a post on social networking site Twitter.com, Watkins writes, “TLC starts practice for the Japan tour on Mon. “Chilli and I just met about our Japan dates! We are performing 17 songs.” Well I guess that is better than appearing on Celebrity Appetence, right T-Boz?
