Newlyweds Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are upset with the drunken behavior of the bride’s mother and sister at their pre-wedding rehearsal dinner.  The couple, who exchanged vows on Saturday, has revealed that the two Montags embarrassed the wedding party with comments they made over dinner.  Pratt says, “There was a little something… Her sister and her mom did something that I didn’t think was very appropriate for a rehearsal dinner… Alcohol and weddings just are not supposed to mix (sic).”   And his new wife insists her family’s bad behavior wasn’t limited to the pre-wedding celebrations: “They were very out of line this weekend.”   But the Pratts are refusing to go into details, insisting all will be revealed when the wedding footage is aired on an upcoming episode of their reality TV show The Hills.   Phoning in from a pre-honeymoon break in Mexico on Tuesday, Pratt teased Los Angeles radio DJ Ryan Seacrest, stating, “Tune in. We’ll just say (at) the rehearsal dinner, some manners were… There’s something going on that shouldn’t be.”  Ha, how much would I have paid to have been a fly on the wall for that wedding.

Jamie Lynn Spears’ boyfriend Casey Aldridge has been moved out of intensive care and is on the road to recovery following Sunday’s car crash, according to his uncle.  Aldridge, who shares 10-month-old daughter Maddie with Spears, swerved into a ditch while driving down a Louisiana highway and was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center with head injuries.   Three of the five people riding in the truck – including Aldridge himself – were thrown from the vehicle as it flipped over.   Aldridge suffered mild brain trauma and a fractured skull, while another passenger sustained a broken collarbone, and a third injured his hip.   But the 19-year-old has been responding well to treatment and was moved out of intensive care on Tuesday.   His uncle Odus Jackson tells E! News, “It was a big scare there for a moment, but he got moved out of ICU and is doing good.”  So how long before Casey is asked to appear on Dancing With The Stars?

Sean Penn has filed for legal separation from his wife of 13 years, Robin Wright Penn.  News of the split comes just two days after the couple’s 13th wedding anniversary, and just months after they reunited. Penn originally filed for divorce back in 2007.   The actor first fueled rumors of a second split when he failed to mention Wright Penn during his Best Actor acceptance speech at the Academy Awards in February.   Then last month, he was rumored to be romancing actress Natalie Portman.   Those reports were denied by sources close to Penn, but on Friday he filed court documents to make their separation official, according to ExtraTV.com.   The couple share 18-year-old daughter, Dylan, and 15-year-old son Hopper. They sought joint custody of their kids during their 2007 divorce proceedings.  Wow, is it just me or is he hitting on Natalie Portman kind of creepy.

Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are set to become parents again – to surrogate twins.  The couple, who wed in 1997, are expecting twin daughters – their second and third kids, and sisters for six-year-old son James Wilke.   A representative for the couple confirms, “Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed.”   The surprise baby news comes just weeks after Parker and Broderick were forced to defend their marriage in the wake of reports of infidelity.   The Sex & The City star recently waved the rumors away, stating, “We don’t even bother to address them.  Let’s just hope that the kids do not get her horse faith and his zig-a-zay-ah tendencies.

Donald Trump fans rejoice: NBC has announced that it is picking up its campy reality series Celebrity Apprentice for another cycle to air in Spring 2010. This season’s edition, featuring Joan Rivers, Clint Black, and poker champ Annie Duke, has been averaging 8.6 million viewers per week. Next season will mark the third celeb cycle for the series, after six non-celeb seasons, the last of which aired in 2007.  Good for the has-beens.  Who are they going to cast in Season 3?  Mr. T?

And finally, MTV will air the second half of the fifth season of The Hills this fall, the network announced.  HBIC Lauren Conrad, however, will not appear in the new episodes. While a statement from MTV indicates that Conrad “has moved on,” Tony DiSanto, a development veep for the channel, pointedly declined to confirm her exit from the show. Instead, he told TVGuide.com that shooting had not yet begun, and that any of the show’s cast members could appear at any time.  Barring a surprise reappearance of Conrad, the fall season will star Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner and Lo Bosworth, as well as newlyweds Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, who are now poised to take center stage.  No offence but with no LC, I will not be watching.

Happy Monday Kiddies and away I go…Might I add, Big Update Today Bitches.

Heidi Montag said in Twitter updates from Pasadena, California, that she and fellow The Hills star Spencer Pratt have married for a second time.  People.com said Montag, 22, offered fans and friends routine updates on the social networking service regarding her most recent nuptials with her 25-year-old boyfriend.  “This is going to be the best day of my life,” the actress wrote in one Twitter posting. “Thank you God for Spencer.”  Nearly 200 guests were in attendance for the wedding ceremony at Westminster  Presbyterian Church Saturday, a far cry from the couple’s impromptu wedding ceremony in Mexico five months ago.  People.com said the MTV reality show stars did not invite any friends or family members to their Mexican wedding.  The couple’s wedding on Saturday was preceded Friday night by a rehearsal dinner at the restaurant Cut that drew 40 guests as well as multiple camera crews, People.com said.   All I know is that I have the entire year of 2011 in the divorce pool…IE if they can make it till 2011, I win bucko bucks.

Emmy Award-winning actress Bea Arthur, best known as star of the hit TV comedies “Maude” and “Golden Girls,” has died at age 86, entertainment news websites reported on Saturday.   Arthur, a longtime stage actress whose comic timing and deadpan delivery were a perfect fit for her sharp-tongued roles on the two series, died of cancer at her Los Angeles home, celebrity website TMZ reported.   Representatives for the actress, who won best-actress Emmys — America’s top television award — for both “Maude” and “Golden Girls,” could not immediately be reached for comment. CNN also reported her death.   Born Beatrice Frankel in New York on May 13, 1922, Arthur began performing in college and appeared in a number of Broadway and off-Broadway roles, winning a Tony Award opposite Angela Lansbury in “Mame.”   In the early 1970s, Arthur appeared on the groundbreaking television comedy “All in the Family” as Edith Bunker’s fiercely liberal cousin Maude, and producers who saw gold in the role quickly devised a spinoff for the character.   “Maude” debuted on CBS in 1972 and became one of the top-rated sitcoms on U.S. television during its six-season run.   Arthur followed that show with “Golden Girls,” an unlikely hit from 1985 to 1992 that featured four female retirees living together.   Central to the popularity of “Golden Girls” was the comic interplay between Arthur’s character and her mother, played by Estelle Getty — who in real life was a year younger and who also won an Emmy for the show.   Getty died last July at the age of 84.   Wow, she will definitely be missed.  I remember those pathetic nights in grade school where I would watch Golden Girls on my Saturday Nights waiting for the phone to ring.

Jay Leno was released from a hospital on Friday, one day after checking in with an undisclosed illness that forced the comedian to cancel a taping “The Tonight Show” for the first time in 17 years as host.   Leno’s spokesman Dick Guttman said the popular TV talk show star was held overnight Thursday for observation. He did not disclose what ailed the comedian, but said it was not symptomatic of any major health problem.   NBC said it expects Leno to return to the show on Monday.   It was the first time Leno, who turns 59 on Tuesday, has missed a scheduled appearance on “The Tonight Show” since he started hosting the show in 1992, except for one episode several years ago in which he traded places with news and talk show anchor Katie Couric, NBC said. Conan O’Brien will take over as host of “The Tonight Show” on June 1, and Leno will have his own week-night program in prime-time this fall.   Wow, the first time in 17 years?  I usually call in sick in the first 3 months.

Britney Spears’ Circus tour is taking its toll on the pop superstar – high-energy dance routines are leaving her dizzy and nauseous, and costing her clumps of her hair.  In a new YouTube.com video of one of her most recent shows in North America, a suspended dancer clearly yanks off a handful of hair from Spears’ wig as he attempts to pull her into the air with him.   Meanwhile, insiders claim Spears is struggling with her energetic dance routines.   A source tells Britain’s The Mirror, “The choreography is insane – it’s so fast it is really taking its toll on her. There is one move during (the song) “Touch Of My Hand,” where two guys dangle from the ceiling and pick her up upside down, which is really getting to her.   “She spins around for nearly five minutes some nights. The blood rushes to her head and when she gets down she complains of nausea and dizziness. There have been a couple of times when she ran off stage and vomited.”  Let’s give her credit where credit is due.  She is making her way through the tour guys.

Rapper/actor Xzibit is facing foreclosure on his California home after failing to hand over more than $21,000 in mortgage payments.  The “Hey Now” hitmaker’s financial problems were revealed earlier this month when documents leaked online showing he owed more than $500,000 in unpaid taxes.   But Xzibit’s money woes don’t end there – according to TMZ.com, bank officials have sent him an official note warning him his Woodland Hills mansion is at risk.   The website claims the hip-hop star, real name Alvin Joiner, is at least $21,403.98 in debt over mortgage back payments.  Oh no, it appears that he will now have to sign on for another 5 seasons of Pimp my ride.

Miss Jennifer Lopez is convinced her baby daughter Emme will follow in her footsteps – because the tot has inherited her mum’s diva-like attitude.  Emme and her twin Max celebrated their first birthdays in February, and Lopez reveals she and husband Marc Anthony are starting to notice familiar personality traits in the pair.   During an appearance on Rachael Ray, due to air on Friday, the superstar says, “We call her Emme-tude because we’re like, ‘She’s giving us Emme-tude right now.’   “She gets that from her dad. I’m kidding… she gets it from me.”   But Lopez insists little Max is most like his mother, adding, “Me and Marc are always claiming he’s got my head and he’s got my mouth.”  Well you know what they say…Like mother like daughter.

After much speculation about the nature of the relationship involving Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, Patel’s mother Anita has confirmed to a British newspaper that the pair are very much a couple.   “First it was the film and now everything else seems to have slotted into place,” Mrs. Patel is quoted as saying in Monday’s Daily Mirror.   “Life can’t get any better for him. Freida is really beautiful, and I am really happy for them.”   Her comments come just days after Patel, 19, jetted to Israel to spend a whirlwind date with the Mumbai beauty, 24. “Yes, we knew he was flying to Israel to see her,” said Patel’s mother.  Oh young love.  So adorable.

And finally, After a six-year hiatus, multi-platinum selling Orlando-based rock band Creed have returned with a new record tentatively titled Full Circle.   “We never felt like we weren’t together,” says frontman Scott Stapp. “We’re not looking at this as a reunion. It’s more of a rebirth.”   Though they stayed in touch through holiday cards and the occasional phone call, the group refrained from recording together in order to, “explore other creative outlets and build the main priority in all of our lives, which is our family,” says Stapp.  Yeah, that means nothing to me.

Happy Wednesday Kiddies, and this is going to be a smallish update, I am beat.

Rumors of a split between Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo refuse to go away – the TV beauty has been forced to deny she is romancing her Disaster Movie co-star Matt Lanter.  Lachey – who split from Jessica Simpson in 2006 after four years of marriage – has been dating TV presenter/actress Minnillo since 2007.   The romance was rumored to be in trouble last week and a representative for Lachey came forward to deny the pair had broken up.   But speculation about a possible split has been reignited following reports that Minnillo spent an evening in Los Angeles with 90210 actor Lanter.   New York Post gossip column PageSix also alleges the duo were getting cozy at a local nightspot.   However, a representative for Minnillo has blasted the claims, insisting the pair is friends because “they made a film together.”  I wonder if he slid his ween inside her Minnillo envelope if you know what I am talking about.

Rihanna is attempting to bounce back from the Chris Brown debacle by headlining an all girl tour that will also feature Ciara and Keisha Cole.   The “Umbrella” singer is lining up a series of dates in North American for this coming September and the two feisty females are in negotiations to join her.   A source tells Eonline.com, “Rihanna wants strong women to join her. This is a ‘women empowerment’ type of tour.”   Rihanna will make her first solo stage appearance since her alleged altercation with ex-boyfriend Brown in Dubai next month.   The singer hasn’t performed since late January – 10 days before she was allegedly beaten during a fight on the eve of the Grammy Awards. She canceled a concert in Malaysia on February 13 as she recovered from the attack, which left her beaten black and blue.  Sounds like a pretty decent show if you ask me.

Britney Spears has escaped testifying in her ongoing battle to win permanent restraining orders against three of her former companions – a judge has declared she is not fit to take the stand.  The star’s father, Jamie Spears, who has been appointed conservator of her estate, took to the courts earlier this year in a bid to extend protective orders against former manager Sam Lutfi, lawyer Jon Eardley, and ex-boyfriend Adnan Ghalib.   A Los Angeles judge last month granted the restraining order against Ghalib, which will be in place for three years.   But Lutfi and Eardley are still contesting the case in court, with Eardley filing papers demanding the singer testify at the hearing.   Eardley, the attorney Spears allegedly hired to fight her conservatorship case in 2008, argued that if the Toxic hit maker is well enough to perform a major tour, she should be able to attend court and give evidence.   But Eardley’s request has been denied by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Akiva Bobb, who upheld a previous ruling on Tuesday that states Spears isn’t mentally fit to make her own legal decisions.   Oh man that does not sound good.  I thought she was doing so well.

Lawrence Taylor became the latest celebrity cast out from the “Dancing with the Stars” competition Tuesday night in Los Angeles.  The former NFL player thanked ABC and his professional dance partner Edyta Sliwinska for helping him take a shot at the show’s coveted mirror ball trophy, the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer reported.  “She’s taught me everything I know about dancing,” Taylor said of Sliwinska.  “He definitely taught me everything I know about golf … . It was an honor to get to know you,” Sliwinska replied.  Still in the dance competition, along with their pro partners, are Chuck Wicks, Lil’ Kim, Shawn Johnson, Melissa Rycroft, Gilles Marini and Ty Murray.   He sure is no Jerry Rice or Emmit Smith, even if he did rule The Giants.

Jill Scott is a first-time mother at 36 – she has given birth to a baby boy.  The singer/actress welcomed Jett Hamilton Roberts into the world on Monday with fiancé John Roberts by her side.   Little Jett weighed in at seven pounds, eight ounces at birth.  Scott became engaged to Roberts last June. The pair began dating after her marriage to DJ Lyzel Williams ended after five years in 2007.  Seriously, who uses normal names any more.

Lane Garrison leaves prison in the next few weeks having settled litigation filed by the victims of the crash of a car driven by the intoxicated actor.   While no settlement amounts were released, the lawsuit brought by the parents of 17-year-old Beverly Hills High School student Vahagn Setian, who was killed in the 2006 accident, sought damages from the former Prison Break star for wrongful death and gross negligence. The action filed by injured passenger Michelle Ohana, who was 15 at the time, sought payment for medical bills, lost wages and home nursing care.   Garrison is currently in state prison finishing up a 40-month sentence vehicular manslaughter. A spokesman for California Department of Corrections tells PEOPLE that Garrison is expected to be paroled in the next “few weeks.”  Well at least he has a cool prison name, Lane Garrison.  Sounds tough to me.

Here is a nice Part B of a story I reported on Monday.  Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are stealing the spotlight once again — this time with news of their upcoming wedding.  The rest of the cast of The Hills — including Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge, Brody Jenner and even Spencer’s sister Stephanie — were all buzzing about the nuptials at the Paley Fest at Hollywood’s Arclight Cinemas on Tuesday.   Audrina, who plans on attending the ceremony, told reporters, “They’re two peas in a pod … I can’t see either of them with anyone else.”  Brody, who will also attend, agreed. “They just work together,” he said. “There’s a lot of people out there, you never know if you’re going to click with them or not, and they seem to click and that’s all that matters … Obviously, it works out for them, and I’m happy for them.”  I am about to cough up 10 bucks and get involved in a pool to see how long their marriage will actually last.

Is marriage taming Kendra Wilkinson? Hint: She still has a stripper pole.   “A guy should fall in love with who they met, you know what I’m saying?” the reality stat tells E in an interview scheduled to air Tuesday on The Daily 10. “I never change. Her Fiancé Hank Baskett knows where I come from, he knows I lived at the Playboy mansion for the last five years of my life. I still am wild – but not as wild.”   As for that stripper pole, well, Wilkinson, 23, says she uses it for exercise only.   “It’s strictly workout. That’s all it is. At first when I told him about the stripper pole, he did not know what it was. He was like, ‘Are you serious? No, you can’t do that.’ “  Now that is really not that big of a deal.  I have made enough deposits in to the spank bank for her past work.

And finally, On Jackass, viewers watched him gag inside a helmet full of crickets and bob for jellyfish. On Dancing with the Stars, they watched as he danced the foxtrot and Viennese waltz. Now on a new unflinching MTV special, Steve-O: Demise and Rise, viewers will witness his longtime struggle with drugs and alcohol as well as his recent decision to sober up. PEOPLE has an exclusive clip of the program.   Even before Jackass and the spin-off Wildboyz, Steve-O, now 34, has been documenting his life on tape, including his days at the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, which led to a job at a flea-market circus. There, he says, he was a “cocaine-addicted clown,” who performed “two shows on Friday, three shows on Saturday and three shows on Sunday, and typically I would do cocaine through all of it without sleeping.”   Oh, I actually feel king of bad for him.  I see him in a whole new light after his trip on DWTS.
