Lindsay Lohan takes the high road with Davis; admits that she's slutty

Lindsay Lohan shows how self-aware she is by admitting that she can't be monogamous:

'Mean Girls' star Lindsay Lohan says being a one man woman is impossible for her. The 19-year-old, who has been linked to a string of Hollywood hunks including Bruce Willis, Jared Leto, and director Brett Ratner told Britain's OK! magazine: "I've learned recently that I'm not into being in a monogamous relationship. I just can't be monogamous right now."

She also took the high road while at a party with bloated Brandon Davis and Paris Hilton, and did not confront the pair or say anything about Davis' famous "firecrotch" rant about her:

Lindsay Lohan refused to bite back at her name-calling ex-pals Paris Hilton and Brandon Davis at Wednesday's Maxim Hot 100 party at Buddha Bar despite whispers through the crowd about the lewd insults Davis spewed, much to Paris' amusement. ...

We feel kind of sorry for Lohan now, and will work on that. She's sure to say something arrorgant soon that we can latch onto.

Here she is at the Parasuco Launch Party last night in NY.

We don't really like Heather Mills McCartney

I didn't pay much attention to Heather Mills in the past, and my opinion of her was positive and based on the fact that she's an animal activist and an amputee who just seems to shrug off her disability. Now that she's getting a divorce from Paul McCartney, all these stories of her opportunism have come out. Of course Mills and McCartney have denied that she married him for his money, and maybe that's true. That doesn't mean you have to like her, though.

The PopBitch newsletter posted this link to the official "Facts" on Heather's website, and she sounds so reactionary and full of herself that I can't help but come away with a negative opinion of her. Maybe she just has a terribly aggressive publicist, but why would she justify personal attacks with such vehement denials? Here's just one of the Fact vs. Fiction reports on her website, which are highlighted on the page in ugly red and green:

FICTION: "Heather’s failure when interviewing Paul Newman on Larry King Live"

FACT: "Contrary to spiteful reports in the British press, Heather’s interview with Paul Newman on CNN’s “Larry King Live” was very well received, particularly by Paul Newman himself. His publicist of over 40 yrs, Warren Cowan wrote the following day: “Wonderful Job! I cannot tell you how many people have raved to me about your interview with Paul (Newman). He was delighted with it. So was I. The fact that the hour flew by so quickly is a testament to your interviewing skills. Take a bow, Heather, A Deep One”….

Wendy Whitworth (Executive Vice President of CNN & Senior Executive Producer of Larry King Live): "Heather came to the desk prepared for the spotlight. She was meticulous in her research and thorough in her presentation. Once again, Heather demonstrated her abilities with her well-known poise and intelligence"

Larry King: "Heather was a smart, charming and gracious guest host. She was very well prepared. I had no doubt! I would love for her to be my resident host "

Paul Newman: "She seduces you into feeling stylishly confident.""

It goes on to rebut many other "fictions" about Mills in a similar snotty, over-the-top tone. Even if Mills isn't writing that crap herself, she would surely have to approve it. WTF?

McCartney's children, including fashion designer Stella McCartney, are said to dislike Mills and go out of their way to avoid her.

An editorial in Britian's Telegraph lays out the case for disliking Mills:

According to his friends, it was her criticism and nagging that pushed [McCartney] over the edge - a paradoxical accusation for a woman who, in her new self-help book, Life Balance, to be published next week, gives us her tips for "spiritual, physical and emotional" happiness.

Although it is hardly unusual for children to be enthusiastic about a stepmother, the silence from Paul McCartney's three children from his first marriage has been deafening. Fashion designer Stella, in particular, has done little to hide her disapproval of Heather. At the Live8 concert last year, she very publicly moved away from Heather, not wanting to talk to her father in his wife's presence and also ensuring there were no happy-family photo opportunities.

Few, it seems, have a good word to say for her. Geoff Baker, Paul McCartney's long-standing press officer, was dismissed last year, reportedly at Heather's instigation after falling out with her. At the time, Baker would say nothing on the subject, but his next move spoke volumes. He took a job as an editor of a golfing magazine and chose for the cover of his first issue a nude Heather McCartney lookalike with a golf ball resting on her cleavage.

Unfortunately Heather Mills is said to now require a wheelchair to get around as she recovers from an amputation surgery and copes with the stress from the dissolution of her marriage. That's too bad, but it doesn't mean she deserves our pity or our admiration.

She is due to put out a book next month, called "Life Balance," in which she refutes claims that she married McCartney for his wealth.

In her upcoming book she says that being called a golddigger was "worse than losing my leg." She has also cancelled a launch party for the book. Given the circumstances that's probably a good idea.

Friends say that the couple broke up after four years partly because Heather hated the adoration McCartney received, and refused to join him on tour. She was also said to have criticized McCartney's style, and to have attempted to makeover his image.

If she's such a great person she wouldn't work so hard to tell everyone about it.

Sheryl Crow and John Stamos?

Sheryl Crow is said to be dating John Stamos:

Rocker SHERYL CROW has reportedly found love with FULL HOUSE star JOHN STAMOS. The ALL I WANNA DO singer, who has recovered from breast cancer surgery, broke off her engagement to biker LANCE ARMSTRONG earlier this year (06). A source tells US publication Life + Style a mutual friend set up the celebrity pair. The couple had their first date a few weeks ago in Malibu, California, where they walked around the Malibu Country Mart shopping centre and stopped for a coffee. The source says, "They've been talking a lot and plan to have dinner together soon. "They're really into each other, so it could blossom into something more."

How into each other could they be if they only had one coffee date a few weeks ago? It sound like this whole thing is overblown and we'll believe it when the pictures come out.

Stamos pulled a Wilmer Valderrama on the Howard Stern show this week, although he remained somewhat discreet and probably didn't offend as many of his ex lovers as Valderrama did.

It's doubtful that anything will come of this if they haven't managed to see each other again after a few weeks, but it's too juicy not to report.

News of Kate Moss' new boyfriend leads Pete Doherty to get help

Kate Moss has been spotted out with Russell Brand, a British comic and Big Brother presenter who is also a former drug addict. At least he's sober now:

Who is the mystery man Miss Moss has been spied out with now?

It's MTV/ Big Brother's Big Mouth presenter Russell Brand.

The pair were spotted out in a North London pub before moving onto a nightclub. And thus a rumour was born...

"Kate finds Russell hilarious and he has the sort of rock star looks she's attracted to."

That's not the only thing the pair have in common, however.

Both Kate and Russell have had publicised troubles with drugs - Kate with cocaine and Russell with heroin.

Perhaps they can help keep each other sober?

The rumors about Kate's involvement with Brand are probably true, because she was spotted buying high-end lingerie at Agent Provacateur recently. She's got someone in mind to see her new knickers and it's probably not her on-again off-again boyfriend, Pete Doherty.

Everyone is making fun of Brand for these pictures of him mooning the camera, but that's nothing compared to the stunts Pete Doherty pulls.

Doherty has vowed to get sober to keep her affections, and is headed to a clinic to take drastic measures:

[Pete Doherty] is desperate to prove to his model ex that he can give up the class As.

Pete is heading to a clinic in Burford, Oxfordshire, next week to have a drug — which stops heroin having an effect on him — inserted into his stomach.

The star was devastated to learn yesterday that Kate has found a new man in comic Brand — who is fronting Big Brother’s Big Mouth for channel E4.

Doherty most recently squirted a syringe full of blood at an MTV camera and is way overdue for an intervention. Hopefully Kate will stay away, and Pete will realize that he needs sobriety more than any woman.

Here is Kate shopping for lingerie. [via]

Runaway Bride fails to get treatment for thyroid condition, gets dumped

A while ago we read through the hilarious letters sent into the Duluth, GA police department where runaway bride Jennifer Willbanks told her ridiculous tale about being kidnapped and forced to perform sex acts with a fictional Latino couple.

Many people suggested that Willbanks suffered from hyperthyroidism, also known as Graves Disease, which causes sufferers' eyes to pop out of their head, and can cause anxiety and frantic behavior. Willbanks also has what's known as a goiter, or an enlargement of the thyroid gland, which you can see by looking at her neck in the picture above.

Willbanks has finally been dumped by her dupe of a fiance, John Mason, over a year after the famous incident. Of course she should have been kicked to the curb a while ago:

A year ago Jennifer Wilbanks bolted into tabloid infamy as the "Runaway Bride" when she faked her own kidnapping for three days on the eve of her wedding in Duluth, Ga.

To the amazement of many, fiancé John Mason quickly took her back, with the couple even moving into a large new home in an Atlanta suburb and talking about taking a second run at marriage.

But in early May Mason's camp let it be known that any nuptials were off – and suddenly the woman who couldn’t take "I do" for an answer seems to be having a problem with "I don't."

"I'm not confirming or denying the breakup," Wilbanks, 33, told PEOPLE May 14. "John and I have some things to work out."

But to Mason's family and friends there is no doubt that this time the split is for good. "I think John realized there were some fundamental differences in their personalities that he wasn't going to be able to deal with," a friend says of Mason, 33, who runs his family's Duluth medical-care business.

Whatever the cause of the breakup, Mason's family voiced relief at the turn of events. "We're just glad there's a final resolution," John’s father, Claude, who was to have been his son's best man, told PEOPLE.

People says that Willbanks has performed the 120 hours of community service she was assigned for causing the fake kidnapping scare, and has paid back $15,000 of the cost the local police incurred for the search.

What we'd really like to know is if she ever saw an endocrinologist.

Daniel Craig is not only a wuss - he's fat!

New Bond Daniel Craig can't play cards or drive a stick shift, and he doesn't like guns or speedboats. He also demands baby lotion and nail files, and got a widdle rash while filming "Casino Royale" in the sun.

He's going to redeem himself with full frontal nudity and a lot of hot sex scenes for the film, and at least he's super-buff and has a great six-pack going for him - or maybe not. He loved the dumplings so much while filming in Prague that producers were forced to hire him a personal trainer:

Producers of the new JAMES BOND movie, CASINO ROYALE, were forced to hire a personal trainer for star DANIEL CRAIG after he became obsessed with dumplings while filming in the Czech Republic. Craig sported a muscular physique when he was photographed earlier this year (06) in a bathing suit on location in the Bahamas. But since the production moved to Prague, the actor has reportedly piled on the pounds after becoming enamoured with the local cuisine, particularly dumplings and borscht. Producer BARBARA BROCCOLI was so alarmed by the star's weight gain she immediately hired a personal trainer. Film sources maintain the superspy is now back in peak condition.

[via]

OMG - he almost ruined his single qualification for playing Bond! He's back in shape now, though, but the guy doesn't have a clue. Maybe the movie will be hot, though, and we'll see it just to get a glimpse.

Mischa Barton's character on The O.C. died in a car crash

Mischa Barton's character on The O.C., Marissa, died last night in the season finale in a tragic car crash while her on-screen boyfriend, Ryan, was driving. This came as a surprise to almost no one. Marissa's death was rumored for a while, although it was originally said that she would die of a drug overdose. Barton spilled the beans to Access Hollywood before the finale that her character would die:

Marissa's death came at the end of an otherwise upbeat episode.

The class of 2006, which includes Marissa, Ryan, Seth and Summer, graduated from Harbor High School. Seth and Summer were accepted by the same college. Ryan was reunited with his mother, who gave him a Land Cruiser as a graduation gift. Marissa's mom gave her a pearl necklace, while her dad gave her an opportunity to work with him on a yacht set to sail around the Greek islands.

Ryan was taking Marissa to the airport in his new SUV when they were antagonized at high speed by a drunken and vengeful Volchok, who they both had a history with. Volchok swigged from a flask as he chased the pair in his car.

Ryan lost control of the Land Cruiser and crashed, the vehicle rolling off the road. He pulled Marissa from the wreckage just before the vehicle caught fire.

There, on the side of the road, she died in his arms.

That's so sad for Marissa and Ryan and I would have been crying if I lived in the states and could have watched it.

Here's the trailer for next season of The O.C.:

Just seeing that brief montage gives me goosebumps!

Here are pictures of Barton getting swag at the Lucky magazine club on 5/17 and in Grand Central station later that day at the Chanel collection party. She is shown with Karl Lagerfeld.

Angelina's in Labor! (update: probably not)

Reader Millie needs to start writing for the site, because she said a while ago that Angelina was farther along than she admitted, and it looks like she was right!

The latest news from Africa is that Angelina is in labor with the world's most anticipated baby.

No wonder they secured a picture deal for the first photographs so "early."

At this point Angelina could have already had the baby!

Congratulations to the couple and we can't wait to see the pictures.

Update: That report seems premature and follow-up news has the baby arriving in the next 48 hours, which means that Angelina is probably due in two days. My son arrived nearly two weeks after his due date, and first babies are usually late, so it could be a while.

Britney almost drops Sean Preston and Kevin Federline!

Yesterday was a big day for Britney Spears. She posted a new "song" on her official website briefly that was an obvious condemnation of her lazy hick husband, and then she was videotaped and photographed nearly dropping her eight month-old baby, Sean Preston, while walking in NYC.

TMZ had a video of the incident up on their site, but just like the new song on Britney's site it is curiously missing now. You can get the gist from the pictures, below:

Moms have to multi-task and I could see carrying a plastic water bottle that is easily discarded, but a highball glass? Those are the type of glasses in limos from our limited experience, but leave the damn thing in the car if you have to carry your baby! Plus Britney is wearing wedges, too long pants, and is pregnant. Man that is a bad combination.

The guy with the '70s porn 'stash (we came up with this on our own, and noticed that IDLYITW said the same thing about him. Great minds.) who catches SP is on her staff because he's seen in pictures of her elsewhere in NY. If she was alone she would have dropped the poor thing, but she probably wouldn't have been carrying a highball glass while walking down the street, either. Oh Britney.

Thanks to In Case U Didn't Know and Millie for pointing this out to us.

Britney's website entrance was replaced for a little while with a sassy girlpower image of the singer and some friends flipping off the camera. There was also a new "song" on the site, with some obvious digs at K-Fed:

Maybe removing the image and song was a calculated move to have the blogs pick it up and carry the "Britney's fed up" story, or maybe she really wanted this to remain on her site, and was advised against it. Regardless we all know how she feels now, and hope the news of a divorce is forthcoming.

Britney is shown arriving at a children's Presbyterian hospital In NY yesterday.

Video of Pete Doherty squirting blood on MTV camera

The video of Pete Doherty squirting a blood-filled syringe has come out. You can view it below with a watermark on the screen:

Or go to an article about the incident on MTV and launch the video from the bottom right. It's now available to viewers outside the UK. There's a commercial before it, though.

Somehow we were expecting it to be more dramatic.

Nick Lachey wants a quick divorce and an $8 million settlement

Nick Lachey is said to want a quick divorce from Jessica Simpson, and is asking for an $8 million settlement that will help him get out of debt and keep his property:

Nick Lachey is demanding $8 million from Jessica Simpson in exchange for ending their marriage quickly reports The National Enquirer.

Nick fears he's facing financial ruin — unless Jessica bails him out with a quickie divorce settlement!

Insiders say he's so desperate for dough, he's willing to take a 40/60 split of the couple's assets — instead of California's customary 50/50 deal — if Jessica signs off soon on their three-year marriage.

"Nick is so worried that he's asked his lawyer to set up an emergency meeting with Jessica's attorney for some time this month to resolve this quickly" revealed an insider.

"Jessica's stalling because she knows that the lawsuits filed against her could prove to be a problem."

Sources say if Nick doesn't strike the settlement deal soon he may lose both his $5 million Bel Air mansion, plus the $3.5 million condo he's now building in Vegas.

Star Magazine speculates that Nick may want out of the marriage quickly so that he'll be free to date Jessica's ex-assistant Cacee Cobb.

There doesn't seem to be much truth in reports that Nick and Cacee are an item, though. They were seen talking for a 1/2 hour at a club, but they're old friends. People quotes a source that denies that they're an item, and we're inclined to agree.

Nick recently said the he can't imagine not getting married again, but that just seems to be the type of guy he is, and he probably doesn't have anyone in mind. He was said to have flirted with plenty of women at his CD release party.

It seems like Nick's push to divorce Jessica is all about money.

Heather Locklear & David Spade have split; Richards & Sambora have not

I never believed these two were a couple, because there was only one report of them going out to dinner and kissing that got repeated a couple weeks after it first came out. Other than that there wasn't much evidence and no pictures, although Spade did defend Locklear to the press by saying that "She's still nursing the knife wound in her back" [from Denise Richards] He also did a dumb skit on his show about it, using paper dolls to pretend that Richards apologized for saying he dated Locklear before she split up with her estranged husband, Richie Sambora (video below.)

MSNBC's "The Scoop" is reporting the relationship between Spade and Locklear is over:

The actor’s rebound romance with Heather Locklear has ended, according to In Touch Weekly. The star of “The Showbiz Show” hooked up with Locklear after her split from rocker hubby Richie Sambora, and reportedly “isn’t happy” about the split.

“Heather isn’t in a rush to get into another serious relationship,” a “pal” told the mag. Her spokeswoman didn’t respond to The Scoop’s request for comment.

Locklear's ex, Richie Sambora, is still dating his neighbor Denise Richards, despite reports that the two have broken up. Richard's rep confirmed that they're still together and said that Sambora's recent comment at a Bon Jovi gig in Germany, in which he claimed to be "Single and ready to party" was just part of his rock-star personae.

Now Richards is flying to Europe to join Sambora while he's on tour.

The actress will fly to Dublin, Ireland. where Sambora is set to perform with Bon Jovi on Saturday on their "Have A Nice Day" tour.

Richards' representative hit out at reports the couple have broken-up insisting, "Denise and Richie are still together." A source tells Us Weekly the actress will leave her two young children, Sam, two, and Lola, 11 months, with her parents while she goes on the trip.

Bon Jovi have a break after their show in Dublin and the couple will reportedly spend a romantic weekend together in Europe. Richards recently reached an agreement with estranged husband Charlie Sheen, extending her temporary restraining order against the actor.

That sounds kind of desperate and we've joined team Sheen in the Richards/Sheen divorce battle. With the latest news that Richards is starting her own children's clothing line to directly compete with her husband's business venture, she's clearly out to get him. Plus, whose rep ever confirms a rebound relationship? That's just lame.

As for Sambora and Locklear, we're not sure who to root for because it doesn't seem like anyone is at fault. Denise Richards can take the blame there as well.

Here's Spade doing his dumb skit in which he pretends to talk to Denise Richards, using paper dolls to act it out:

Naomi Watts is probably not pregnant

Naomi Watts has not been seen out in a form-fitting top in ages, and we've been guessing she's pregnant. She even wore a loose top to the press conference announcing her new role as an AIDS envoy for the UN.

Reader Millie, a Naomi Watts expert, has said that she doesn't think Watts is pregnant.

We got all excited when we saw this People Startracks photo today, (inset) because it really looks like Naomi has a baby bump.

It turns out the wind was just blowing her top out, because when you look at the HQs you can see her stomach through the fabric and it's perfectly flat. She doesn't seem to be wearing an engagement ring, which Schreiber was rumored to have bought her, either. Oh well.

Watts is still with Liev Schreiber, though, and they look quite happy together. That's something.

Here they are out in Tribeca, NYC on 5/16.

Jolie-Pitt baby pic deal: nearly $5 million

A deal has been struck for the first pictures of the anticipated Jolie-Pitt baby. Britian's Daily Mirror is set to report that an unnamed publication has agreed to pay £2.6million for the pictures, with the proceeds to go to UNICEF. £2.6million pounds is $4.89 million dollars USD. That's incredible.

According to the Daily Mirror, Ange and Brad have promised a US magazine the first pictures of the new bub.

A source revealed: "They've signed a £2.6million deal with a publication and the money will go to children's charity UNICEF.

"Angelina's very private but they figured they might as well use the opportunity of one child being born to help a lot of others."

Meanwhile Pitt's family says there's no hard feelings about Angelina deciding to give birth in Africa, and that they honestly like her. If these quotes from Brad's brother are geniune, the family does admit that Brad's Mom still talks to his sore loser of an ex, Jennifer Aniston:

Reports were claiming the close-knit Pitt clan felt they'd been snubbed when their son, 42, and his 30-year-old missus Jolie suddenly moved to Paris and then Namibia.

But Brad's brother Doug says the family are glued to the phone in America waiting for the news.

"We all want to help them get through the birth in any way we can," Doug says. "We just want them to enjoy it and to know we're all thinking of them."

That's not to say there's no friction - Brad's very unhappy that mum Jane is still close to his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston.

Doug said: "He feels mum should move on and cut the link. But mum's in a difficult position, she has great affection for Jennifer..."

Doug revealed they were planning a trip to Paris for a "family vacation", prompting speculation that Brangelina will return to the city after the birth.

That's a phenomenal sum for some baby pictures, but it will be the most famous baby in the world.

The picture above is of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt impersonators and was run in NY Magazine. It must have sold plenty of copies even without the real thing.

Little Suri Cruise still hasn't been seen by the press. Her pictures are worth a healthy sum, but surely not as much as the Jolie-Pitt baby.

Everyone's talking about Brandon Davis' rant on Lindsay Lohan

The NY Post reports on the video on TMZ you've most likely seen in which Brandon Davis goes on a creative drunken rant on Lindsay Lohan. Paris Hilton and Caroline D'Amore giggle in the background, but Paris doesn't add much except to say that Lindsay's movie bombed. Near the end of the footage she asks Davis "Whose movie bombed?" to get him to say "firecrotch" yet again.

Davis repeatedly refers to Lohan as "firecrotch" and makes bizarre declarations about her personal hygiene and private parts, all while Hilton eggs him on.

Perhaps most grotesquely, Davis sneers of Lohan, "I think she's worth about seven million, which means she's really poor. It's disgusting. She lives in a motel."

But Lohan found a unique way to exact revenge upon her former friend Hilton at Bungalow 8 early yesterday morning. She was spotted making out with Paris' ex-boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos, when she wasn't hanging out with Barton and pirate-costumed fashion designer John Galliano. Take that, Paris!

As we've mentioned here, Davis decided not to be friends with Paris a while ago and claimed it was because Paris was a racist, citing her use of the "N" word and bigotry against Jews. The Post notes that Davis is a hypocrite because he jokingly asks in the video if Wilmer Valderrama is "in a mariachi band."

Davis dated Mischa Barton for about a year until she broke up with him in the spring of 2005. People say Barton was annoyed by the tight control the oil heir's family had over his finances, and how he had to ask for money for everything. He was most recently tied to Camilla al-Fayed, the daughter of Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed, but it's doubtful that they're still together based on the way he's been acting.

The Gallery of the Absurd has a new illustration of Davis as shown above, picturing the bloated oil heir with unflattering adjectives spewing forth from his oversized head.

The video reminded me of college, in which liquored-up do-nothings would talk smack about each other after going out to clubs. No one cared what my friends had to say, though.

Davis is rather gross and stupid, but you have to admit that "firecrotch" is a pretty clever nickname for Lohan and we will enjoy referring to her as such in the future. As the NY Post notes, she was seen yet again with Stavros Niarchos, Paris' ex. She also spent the night a few days ago with Paris' other ex, Paris Latsis, but he must not have been on hand for a quick revenge screw when she needed him.

Here's a non-censored and slightly different version of the video. The paparrazi are calling Davis "Stavros"!
Someone added a classical intro and "Firecrotch" title. So great.

And here is Paris on the night in question, in which she attended Janet Jackson's 40th birthday party [via]

Update: Paris' publicist has responded to the incident, emphasizing that Paris was not the one bashing Lohan.

Audrey Tautou says she's going to quit acting

In what sounds like a response to critics panning her new film, "The DaVinci Code," French actress Audrey Tautou, best known as the cutesy meddler in "Amelie," says that she's going to quit acting:

The French actress told Grazia magazine: "When I started acting, I had the idea that I would continue until I'm 40.

"Now, after doing The Da Vinci Code, I'm probably ready to quit at 30.

"I know I'm not the best actress in the world and not the worst but I think that maybe I'd be happier doing something that doesn't leave me so exposed."

She sounds like a sensitive person and she's probably quite hurt by the bad reviews of "DaVinci Code."

Hopefully she's just being reactionary and won't quit anytime soon. One bad film is not a good enough reason to throw away an acting career. She's only 27, and has a good three years left in her by her own account, anyway.

Here she is looking cute and just a little bit flirty with Tom Hanks at a DaVinci Code photo call, and at the premiere and after party for the film. She is also shown in stills from the movie.

Baby Experts vs. Britney Spears

Baby experts have chimed iin on Britney Spears' parenting techniques. A dietician criticizes the pop singer for admitting that she feeds her eight month-old son, Sean Preston, ice cream to help him sleep:

BRITNEY SPEARS has been criticised by a leading dietitian for feeding her baby son ice-cream. The pregnant pop star recently revealed she uses the sweet treat to help the eight-month-old get to sleep. She said, "He loves ice cream - it makes him sleep better." But British diet expert SARAH GOSNAY claims too much of the sugary snack can be bad for babies and is more likely to keep SEAN PRESTON awake than send him to sleep. She says, "Up until the age of five children need some high calorie foods in their diet to help them grow but they also need balanced meals and to be set healthy patterns for the rest of their lives. What you eat as a child affects what you eat as an adult. "Ice cream is high in saturated fat, the cholesterol producing type of fat, as well as sugar, and should really be a treat food for a child. "I don't like the sound of 'it makes him sleep better'. That sounds like he's having ice cream regularly in his diet, a habit that is going to be hard for Britney to change.

Of course ice cream should only be an occasional treat for baby, and not a regular before bedtime snack.

While Britney might not have broken the law for putting her son in a forward-facing baby seat with loose straps, she certainly didn't ensure his safety.

The "Car Seat Lady," an expert on "infant passenger safety," has confirmed what everyone has said about the picture of Britney driving with Sean slumped over in the back seat of her convertible - the straps were way too loose:

"The straps are way too loose. That seat is not going to be able to protect the baby because she's not using it right," said Dr. Alisa Baer, a national expert on infant passenger safety known as "The Car Seat Lady."

"It's toward a gross misuse" of the Britax seat, Baer said after examining a photo of Spears ferrying her son in the back seat of her Mini Cooper convertible.

Baby Sean Preston was riding in a forward-facing car seat - which was "in compliance" with California law, Spears' rep said...

"One year old is a bare minimum to keep a child in a rear-facing seat, and older is recommended," said Baer. "Babies' neck bones are still stretchy ... and their heads account for about 25% of their body weight."

That controversial photograph of Sean Preston slumped over in his forward-facing carseat has prompted California lawmakers to introduce a bill that would eliminate grey areas in the state's carseat law. Under the proposed law, all babies under one would be mandated to ride in rear-facing carseats regardless of their weight. The NY Daily News jokes that the new regulation would be called "Britney's Law."

Britney was in NY the past few days, and seemed to bring Sean Preston with her everywhere. This is rare for a celebrity mother, and you can't say she doesn't love the little tyke. She just needs a bit more guidance on how to care for him.

Britney is shown above having a "girl's night out" at Tao in NY yesterday, and at a Lucky magazine event, below. She is also shown shopping in NY. [via] and [via]

Lindsay Lohan denied entrance to club by Danny Masterson

Danny Masterson was DJing at a club in LA, and refused entrance to Lindsay Lohan, who was waiting outside. Lohan called her ex, Wilmer Valderrama who was inside the club, to plead her case but Masterson stood firm, saying that he didn't approve of Lohan's lifestyle!

On Sunday night, Danny Masterson wouldn't let her into Kid's Cotton Club, his weekly jazz night at Guy's. Lohan resorted to calling ex-BF Wilmer Valderrama, who was inside with Jamie Foxx and Mekhi Phifer, to ask him to get Masterson to let her in. According to our source inside who witnessed the whole thing, Valderrama obliged, telling his "That '70s Show" costar that his Lohan beef was vodka under the bridge. But Masterson wouldn't budge, saying he didn't want her in because he doesn't respect the way she lives her life—and that Paris Hilton isn't welcome either. How did the (underage!) Lindsay respond? According to the crowd that witnessed it, she screamed at the top of her lungs and threatened to call the cops. Eventually, however, she simply left with her tail between her legs.

Masterson seems to be rather strict about who he lets into the club, and LA.com reports that he tries to make Sunday nights a glamorous tribute to NYC's jazz scene:

"It's a night to pretend we're sophisticated when really everyone's a douche bag," he said. He also gave us some tips for getting past his velvet rope. First and foremost, Danny demands to see your pearly whites. If you're not smiling at the door, you're not getting in. He also says guys must wear a suit for entrance and that he'd rather rowdy frat dudes look for another venue to party in. Girls can show up in whatever they'd like, but he finds that those in casual duds act introverted all night and then come back the next week wearing a dress.

As Egotastic points out, maybe Lindsay didn't get in because she was wearing those god-awful leggings with a hoodie. We bet if she converted to Scientology instead of following Kabbalah, she would get on Masterson's good side.

Lindsay retreated to the East coast and got in everywhere she tried. She is shown at the Maxim 2006 Hot 100 Party last night in New York, and at the The Entertainment Weekly/Matrix Men Upfront Party on Tuesday night.

"DaVinci Code" is so bad that people hissed at it

When The DaVinci Code was screened at Cannes, people laughed at a key dramatic scene and hissed and booed at the end. Critics are saying it's hard to follow and really boring:

At Cannes, one scene during the film, meant to be serious, elicited prolonged laughter from the audience, and when the credits rolled, there was no applause, only a few catcalls and hisses. Things were no better Stateside, where the film screened for critics in New York.

The Hollywood Reporter headlined its review, " 'Da Vinci Code' an unwieldy, bloated puzzle."

"No chemistry exists between the hero and heroine, and motivation remains a troubling sore point," wrote reviewer Kirk Honeycutt, panning Tom Hanks' "remote, even wooden performance." Only co-star Ian McKellen managed to avoid criticism.

Director Ron Howard has blown off bad reviews, saying he hasn't read them and hopes additonal reviews will be "slightly more upbeat." He wants "Da Vinci Code" to be a crowd pleaser, and seems nonchalant about the religious controversy over the film's content. He told people that if the content would upset them, they should just stay away.

Author Dan Brown suggests that Jesus Christ was married to Mary Magdalene and had a child with her. Everyone from the Opus Dei cult to the nation of India is boycotting the film. All the protesting won't matter once the news gets out about how terrible the film is. No one will want to see it anyway.

I haven't seen the film yet of course, but I thought the book sucked. The writing was terrible. I don't remember any of the details because there were so many crammed in there. The action scenes were decent, but they couldn't save the lousy writing.

My favorite review comes from TimeOut's London edition:

If ever there was a movie marriage made in hell it was that between novelist Dan Brown and film director Ron Howard. Brown's clunky, awkward prose is well matched to Howard's frighteningly earnest, spoon-feeding approach to cinema.

Here's the trailer:

DaVinci Code currently has an unprecedented 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. That will probably raise slightly as lesser critics are wined and dined by the studio.

Matt Leinert was told by his teammates to stay away from Paris

Yesterday we mentioned that Paris hasn't been spotted with her new boyfriend, NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, since last Wednesday morning when he did the walk of shame outside of her place. There may be a good reason for that - Leinart has supposedly taken flack from his teammates for getting so much press by banging Paris:

Paris Hilton’s new sweetie has been warned to do something that might be difficult: stay out of the spotlight. New Arizona Cardinal quarterback and former USC star Matt Leinart was warned by his team that if he’s serious about football, he shouldn’t be photographed out late at night dancing and drinking with his partying heiress girlfriend, according to the Star. “Matt took it very seriously,” a source told the tab, “almost to the point of tears.”

The National Ledger has more quotes from the article:

“They think his Hollywood lifestyle and dating Paris Hilton may be distracting him,” an insider tells Star. They especially do not want him photographed drinking in public!”

The guy was just recruited by the Arizona Cardinals and he needs to prove himself. His contract details are not known, but his deal is said to be around $12 million. That seems like a lot of money, but he may have lost out on about $10 million more. He was the number 10 draft pick after falling in the rankings by losing a national title game, so he's probably worried about his football career. He's obviously taking his teammates seriously and probably won't be seeing much more of Paris.

Update: video of Paris kissing Leinart at his NFL draft party and trying to sing. She can't dance, either.

And here are some pictures of Leinart at Arizona Cardinals Minicamp on 5/5/06:

Does Katie Holmes have postpartum depression?

This sounds like something someone would make up just to get back at Tom Cruise for bashing Brooke Shields for her antidepressant use, but Katie Holmes is supposedly suffering from a case of the baby blues:

NEW mum Katie Holmes has been “constantly in tears” say pals — sparking fears she has the baby blues.

Tom Cruise’s fiancée “seems emotional and very tired” since the birth of their daughter Suri a month ago, it is claimed.

When visitors call at Cruise’s Beverly Hills mansion, Katie appears red eyed.

One friend said: “Katie told pals it’s natural for new mums to experience strong emotions.”

Scientologist Tom, 43, has criticised anti-depressants.

He rapped Brooke Shields last year for admitting taking the drugs for her post-natal depression.

The sources add Katie, 27, has been working hard to keep up with Tom’s energetic schedule.

The Mission Impossible actor has put her on a fitness regime to get her in shape for their wedding this summer.

We know this last part about Tom putting Katie on a "fitness regime" is not true, because it's based on a quote from Buff Brides founder Sue Fleming that is made up. The quotes from Katie's "friend" may be made up as well.

If this is true, it's not much to worry about and is totally normal for new mothers. I cried and was sad for about the first ten days after my son was born. After about a month, things brightened up and I felt a lot better. The hormone levels drop considerably after childbirth, and a little sadness post-birth is very common. If it lasts much longer for Katie, then she should get help. Unfortunately Tom is never going to let her go on antidepressants. If she's breastfeeding, it wouldn't be a good idea anyway, although her health and happiness are what's most important for the baby.

Here are pictures of Katie and her stretch marks at Tom's son Conner's baseball game on Monday. [via]

They must be keeping Suri at home to drive up the cost of the first pictures.

Lindsay Lohan considering Sailor Moon role

A few weeks ago we reported a poorly sourced rumor that Lindsay Lohan was in consideration for a role in an upcoming action movie based on the Japanese anime series "Sailor Moon." Lohan told MTV that materials for the movie have been sent to her, but she hasn't heard much about the role apart from reading about it online:

[Lindsay] cautiously confessed, she may try her first action film.

The people behind the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the Japanese manga series "Sailor Moon" have sent her some materials to look at, she said, and fans have begun lobbying hard for Lohan to play the titular character, a rail-thin blonde known for her strong powers and sexy costumes.

"I read that [online] the other day," Lohan said of her supposed "Sailor" casting. "I haven't read the script; I don't even know if there is a script. ... I read a lot of things [online] that I don't know about myself that apparently people think are true."

It sounds like a Sailor Moon role is only a remote possibility for Lohan at this point, but if she's mentioning it in an MTV interview she must be interested.

Meanwhile Lohan insinuates that her breasts are real by stating that she loves them in their natural state:

The American actress, 19, told OK! that she has to thank her sexy curves for her heavenly boobs, and thinks that she’s even sexier now she’s put on a little weight.

The Mean Girls star said: "I like my breasts the size and shape they are naturally.

"I am comfortable in my own skin."

"Naturally" means before the breast surgery, Lindsay. A more accurate statement would be: "I like my breasts the size and shape they are now."

Here is Lindsay outside of Butter Nightclub in NY on Monday. She did lay low for a day or two at least.

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills to split? (update: it's official)

It is expected that Paul McCartney, 63, will announce that he and his wife of nearly four years, Heather Mills, 38, are separating:

PAUL McCartney is seeking a formal trial split from wife Heather because he believes they can no longer endure their private hell.

In recent months the couple's always stormy four-year marriage has been punctuated by ever more explosive rows.

They were due to have crisis talks at the weekend. But Macca, 63, decided he could not face another emotionally draining bust-up.

He told one friend: "We really can't go on like this. It's not fair on either of us. Enough is enough."

A source disclosed: "Paul hasn't come to this decision lightly, but felt things couldn't carry on as they were.

"He and Heather were getting on so badly it became impossible for them to sleep under the same roof.

"Paul is desperately hoping some time apart will give them the space to work out whether they want the relationship to continue.

"It's terribly sad for them. We're very concerned it's all over. But nobody has entirely lost hope."

Sir Paul, who insists the couple can rekindle their love, is expected to tell close family and friends of his bombshell decision today.

Mills received surgery on her amputated leg three weeks ago, and has been staying at her East Sussex home with her sister as she recovers.

McCartney has been staying in another of his homes just 55 miles away, but has avoided his wife. The couple's two year-old daughter has been chauffered back and forth between their two homes.

That's sad news but maybe they'll be able to reconcile for the sake of their daughter.

Update: McCartney and Mills have released a statement announcing the split. It's pretty weak that they blame the press for their problems, though:

"Having tried exceptionally hard to make our relationship work given the daily pressures surrounding us, it is with sadness that we have decided to go our separate ways," the couple said in a joint statement.

"Our parting is amicable and both of us still care about each other very much but have found it increasingly difficult to maintain a normal relationship with constant intrusion into our private lives, and we have actively tried to protect the privacy of our child," the statement continued.

"Separation for any couple is difficult enough, but to have to go through this so publicly, especially with a small daughter, is immensely stressful. We hope, for the sake of our baby daughter, that we will be given some space and time to get through this difficult period."

Britney Spears didn't break the childseat law

Britney Spears' record label says she didn't break the law by having her son in a forward-facing childseat:

In a statement, Sony BMG said state law required that "all children under the age of six or weighing less than 60lbs be in safety seats in the back seat of the car".

It added rear-facing car seats were compulsory neither in California nor many other parts of the US.

"In fact, there are only 10 [states] that require a child to be in a rear-facing car seat, and in two of those states it is not required if the infant is more than 20 lbs. Britney's son Sean weighs over 20 lbs."

It looks like she got off on a technicality. This wasn't as much as a snafu as driving with Sean in her lap, but it still makes her seem like a neglectful mother.

Britney is working on a new album and has hired R&B producer Jonathan 'JR' Rotem, who produced Rhianna's hit "SOS." Rotem has said that Britney will have a song about the paparrazi on her new album, and he reveals how difficult it is for Britney and K-Fed to deal with:

"She wrote a song with me that's kind of introspective about how people and the paparazzi are constantly following her around," reports the latest "It" megaproducer, J.R. Rotem, who's been in the studio almost daily with Spears, who is expecting her second child.

Just as an innocent bystander, Rotem says the media frenzy that follows Spears "is annoying.
Their life is crazy. I'm also working with K-Fed, her husband, quite a bit on some hip hop stuff, and literally every time he comes over, he's followed by like five to eight paparazzi trucks. They just camp out in front of my place while we work and try to take pictures of anything. They cannot go anywhere without being followed. It's amazing and very aggravating."

Being followed everywhere seems to be the price of extreme fame and wealth. If Britney and K-Fed would lay low for a little while, they might get some peace.

Pete Doherty's sick blood-squirting stunt

Pete Doherty squirted a syringe full of blood onto a camera during an MTV News UK interview, causing one of his band members to apologize and declare how f**ked up it was:

Troubled rocker PETE DOHERTY disgusted his bandmates and an MTV News film crew when he fired a syringe seemingly full of his own blood at cameras during a TV interview. The unpredictable BABYSHAMBLES frontman initially refused to be questioned, but turned up halfway through the interview hiding a syringe in his hand under a towel. Smirking, the singer proceeded to squirt its red contents over thousands of dollars worth of filming equipment and the terrified crew. Doherty joked after, "That was a wicked shot. That's going to make a cracking link that is." His bandmate, bassist DREW MCCONNELL, was less impressed, storming out of the room after first apologising to the MTV group. He said, "I think the interview is over my friend. "I'm really sorry about that mate, that's f**ked up." Doherty performed a song after the camera lens had been cleaned.

That wasn't just anyone's blood - it was heroin addict blood which is extra foul. The cameramen were said to fear for their health after coming in contact with the blood.

This comes right after news of Doherty smoking crack before he performed dressed in drag in Germany last weekend. He was wearing what looked like a wedding ring at the time, causing people to speculate that it was from his on-again off-again girlfriend, supermodel Kate Moss, whom he once bragged that he was going to marry.

There is a video of the blood-squirting incident, but MTV has ridiculously limited access to it to people who are in the UK or Ireland. I tried to use a UK proxy to view it, but it didn't work.

Pete's mom is writing a tell-all book about her son. There's not much about Doherty that can shock people, but it is sure to be full of interesting tidbits.

Here is Doherty in a different Channel 4 interview.

In the interview above he talks about his brief imprisonment and drug use, but he mumbles a lot and is really messed up, so it's hard to tell what he's saying. He does say he's going to "start a drug-free life." Yeah, right. Towards the end of the interview he waves to the camera and mouths "Hello Kate" when asked about his relationship with Kate Moss, but he doesn't admit much and calls the interviewer nosy.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban make it official

Nicole Kidman announced her engagement to Keith Urban yesterday after bringing him as her date to a UN function on Sunday while wearing a conspicuously large ring on her left ring finger.

In New York City on Saturday, Nicole Kidman hosted the 30th Anniversary gala for the organization UNIFEM. Her date? Keith Urban, who she admitted is not just her boyfriend. "He's actually my fiancé," Kidman exclusively told PEOPLE on Monday. "I wouldn't be bringing my boyfriend."

The confirmation of the engagement ends months of speculation about the couple, who were first spotted together in July 2005. In November, Kidman was photographed wearing a ring on her wedding finger while walking arm-in-arm with Urban in Boston. At the time, Urban's rep told PEOPLE about a possible engagement, "Right now it's just a rumor."

People have been saying that Nicole plans to marry Keith since December, 2005, and that's excellent that she's finally announced the news. She was seen out in the Hamptons a month ago with what looked like a wedding ring on her left hand, so it's possible that the two are already married - or at least consider themselves to be.

Update: The Scoop has details of the planned wedding, as published in In Touch:

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s wedding will be a traditional Catholic ceremony in her homeland of Australia in mid-June, according to Life & Style Weekly, followed by a weeklong honeymoon in Fiji. “Nicole’s wedding will be the polar opposite of whatever Tom Cruise is cooking up,” a “close friend” of Kidman told the mag. “She has no desire for anything remotely fancy.” Her daughter Isabella and sister Antonia will be maids of honor and Keith’s brother Shane, will reportedly serve as best man. The bride and groom are asking that money be donated to charity in lieu of gifts. .

Avril Lavigne gets her first movie role

Avril Lavigne has a small cameo in an upcoming movie with Richard Gere, "The Flock":

Avril Lavigne has kicked off her Hollywood career with a role in Richard Gere's new movie...

Still, Avril Lavigne appears in the forthcoming "The Flock," and even though it's a small part, the role could be a breakthrough for Sk8ter Girl.

"I have one scene in it. It's with Claire Danes and Richard Gere, and Richard Gere was, like, really cool," Avril says of working with her childhood hero.

"In between takes he was like totally giving me pointers. It was so crazy; I've known of him since I was so little."

"My parents thought that was so cool."

Lavigne voiced an animated character in the film "Over the Hedge," and with this latest role it looks like she is making a move onto the big screen.

Lavigne is rumored to be pregnant. In these pictures of her out in Malibu on Saturday with her fiance, Deryck Whibley, you can see a little baby bump if you squint hard enough.

Jessica Alba nose job controversy: Part II

On Monday we reported that it looked like Jessica Alba had a nose job based on HQs of her at two different events last week. She was at the premiere of "An Inconvenient Truth" last night, and her nose still looks different than it did at the ALMA awards, but not dramatically so.

We checked out earlier pictures of Alba, and it seems like the lighting at the ALMA awards was particularly unflattering.

She could be using some alternate method to shrink her nose, as was mentioned in the article we sourced. If she did have work done, it was subtle. At this point we don't think she had a nose job.

Here is Alba at the ALMA awards, and at premiere of "An Inconvenient Truth" in LA. "An Inconvenient Truth" is a documentary about global warming featuring president Al Gore:

Director Davis Guggenheim eloquently weaves the science of global warming with Mr. Gore's personal history and lifelong commitment to reversing the effects of global climate change. A longtime advocate for the environment, Gore presents a wide array of facts and information in a thoughtful and compelling way. "Al Gore strips his presentations of politics, laying out the facts for the audience to draw their own conclusions in a charming, funny and engaging style, and by the end has everyone on the edge of their seats, gripped by his haunting message," said Guggenheim. An Inconvenient Truth is not a story of despair but rather a rallying cry to protect the one earth we all share. "It is now clear that we face a deepening global climate crisis that requires us to act boldly, quickly, and wisely," said Gore.

Alba is concerned about the environment and drives a hybrid Prius. You can do your part by walking and riding your bike whenever possible, replacing your lightbulbs with energy star efficient bulbs, and reusing plastic bags. Minor changes do make a difference.

Kate Moss makes out with Jemima Kahn for a full minute (for charity)

A rich British businessman put in an over six figure bid to win a one-minute kiss with supermodel Kate Moss in a charity auction. Instead of taking the kiss for himself, he gave it Hugh Grant's girlfriend to the delight of men everywhere:

KATE MOSS happily engaged in a lesbian kiss with British socialite JEMIMA KHAN for a charity donation of GBP60,000 ($108,000). The supermodel, who was dogged by controversy after she was photographed snorting cocaine last year (05), was due to kiss business tycoon PHILIP GREEN after he paid for the pleasure at a recent charity auction for the Hoping Foundation For Palestinian Refugee Children. But Green declined to accept a passionate one-minute kiss from Moss in the presence of his wife TINA, so he handed the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to the person he outbid - HUGH GRANT's girlfriend Khan.

That's hot and we hope the video comes out! It would be a lot more interesting than Kate snorting coke.

David Blaine plans jungle stunt, world yawns

David Blaine does not want to die known as the man who failed to break the world record for holding one's breath after living in a snow globe in Lincoln Center for a week. He wants to be known as the man mauled by lions on reality television:

Illusionist David Blaine is to live "harmoniously' in the jungle for his next stunt.

The magician plans to be left "alone" in the Tanzanian jungle where 150 people are attacked by wild lions a year with just a TV crew present to film his actions.

Blaine narrowly escaped death during his last stunt where he was suspended in a giant fishbowl for a week. The illusionist hoped to end this extravagant display by beating the world record for holding your breath underwater, currently held by Tom Zitas.

However, he fell short of the world record, which stands at 8 minutes 58 seconds, after passing out after around 7 minutes.

Blaine is currently recuperating after suffering from liver failure and severe [sic] caused by the aquatic stunt.

He probably feels like he failed or whatever, and "let the people down" as his physician said, but the guy got a lot of attention and he really gave it his all. It's only been a week since he got out of the bubble. He's probably afraid of slipping into obscurity.

His last gig was bringing magic to libraries as the spokesperson for the 2006 New York City summer reading program, so his fears are well founded.

He sound have kids and then he will realize how immortality is attained - through genetics.

Madonna's marriage is in trouble

MSNBC's The Scoop is reporting that cult-loving Madonna has been seen out without her wedding ring. People have speculated that Madonna's five-year marriage to Guy Richie is in trouble for some time.

The Material Girl was recently photographed in Los Angeles without her wedding ring. The singer has acknowledged some rocky patches in her marriage to director Guy Ritchie, but has maintained that she and her husband are committed to making things work.

Madonna’s rep says the absence of the ring is not significant. “I don’t think there’s any particular meaning to that,” she told The Scoop. “She does not always wear her wedding band.”

Still, fans of the singer were alarmed when her brother recently suggested that Madonna and guy were staying together mostly for the children. “They both want to see the children,” Christopher Ciccone told the London Mirror. “It’s the children that will keep them together. The children are everything to them.”

While Madonna is out touring and promoting her new album, Guy's career has languished. He put out Revolver last year, a critical and commercial failure, and before that was the terrible Madonna film Swept Away in 2002. His only hits are Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels from 1998 and Snatch in 2000, both of which were brilliant but he hasn't been able to create a follow-up.

Madonna was said to have put Guy on a curfew a couple of months ago, and tried to limit his drinking to three pints a night.

Last month she was supposed to be trying for another baby, but that sounded like just a rumor.

Guy was said to be going on a month-long extreme sports vacation with his friends this month, and it is unclear if they are even together.

Madonna has recently said that she feels like a bad mother for spending so much time working. Does she feel like a bad wife too?

Mandy Moore says she didn't lose her virginity to Wilmer Valderrama

Mandy Moore has called Wilmer Valderrama's tell-all interview on Howard Stern, in which he suggested he took her virginity, "tacky" and "untrue":

Appalled at former boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama's boasts that she'd lost her V plates to him, on the Howard Stern radio show in April, Mandy has spoken out.

She says his chat is "utterly tacky, not even true".

She went on to say: "It hurt my feelings because I like him."

But it seems she's not the only one a little miffed by Wilmer's loose tongue.

During the interview, he also claimed to have slept with Lindsay Lohan, Ashlee Simpson and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Jennifer Love Hewitt denied Valderrama's claims earlier, saying she "would have loved to have been there!"

Mandy Moore is in the finishing stages of her latest album, and says on her official website that "Things are really heating up and I'm so anxious to get out there and share this music with you all." She also has harsh words for whoever started a rumor that she was in rehab, saying " If you're gonna spread trash and gossip, there should be a line drawn on issues that you just don't go near!"

Considering that we never heard that Moore was in rehab, she shouldn't have justified the rumor with a response.

Here she is the June, 2006 issue of Elle magazine.

Lindsay Lohan Paris Hilton cat fight!

TMZ is reporting that Paris and Lindsay were in each other's faces at a Hollywood club Friday night. Paris' rep can't deny it, but tries to play it down:

It was a drama filled night Friday at Hyde, a Hollywood hotspot packed with celebrities. Sources inside the club tell TMZ there was a ton of trash talk between Lindsay Lohan and the Hilton sisters. At one point, sources say, Lindsay and Paris were literally face-to-face in a heated spat.

Paris' rep, Elliot Mintz, plays down the incident. "Inside the club," he says, "Paris was having a conversation with a couple friends. Lindsay approached her table and at that moment Paris felt she was being interrupted and didn't wish to speak with Lindsay. A couple of words were exchanged and Lindsay went back to her table. I can understand how other patrons in the club could have thought it had been a bigger deal then it actually was."

Sources tell TMZ that the root of this apparent tension may be because Lindsay has recently been on a publicity campaign for her new film, 'Just My Luck.' Sources say Paris is upset because during the campaign Lindsay has mentioned Paris' name in interviews with the media. They say Paris feels as if Lindsay is using Paris' name to further her career.

Our own Josh Levine caught up with Nicky, Paris and their friend Brandon Davis leaving the club, who had a few choice words of his own to say about the redheaded star.

Lindsay's publicist told TMZ, "Lindsay doesn't need to drop names to get publicity. She has talent, great style and beauty."

In terms of Lindsay namedropping Paris for publicity, it seems Paris would be more upset that Lindsay's been bedding all of her exes this month.

Lindsay has not been photographed since Friday, and she hopefully took the weekend off from partying and sleeping with various new guys to rest up and change her clothes. Maybe the little spat with Paris helped her realize that it's time to lay low.

Meanwhile Paris hasn't been seen with Matt Leinart since he left her house last Wednesday morning. It's been about a week, and we'll see how long it takes before we see them together again.

TMZ has a video of Paris, Nicky, and Brandon Davis outside the club that night talking smack about Lindsay Lohan to the paparazzi. It's unclear what they're saying, but they're clearly making fun of her.

Here is Paris on the night in question attending the Race to Erase MS event. (Paris and Brandon Davis are not together. He is an old friend of hers, although they had a big falling out at one point, with Brandon calling Paris a racist.)

Jennifer Garner in talks for new political thriller

Alias is ending on May 22nd, and Jennifer Garner has said that she's looking forward to some time off with her nearly six month-old daughter, Violet. She may not have much time to rest, because she's negotiating for a role in The Kingdom, a political thriller:

It looks as if Jennifer Garner is in talks to join the cast of The Kingdom, a political thriller about an FBI team investigating the bombing of American workers in the Middle East. Directed by Peter Berg (Friday Night Lights) the Universal Pictures film already has Jamie Foxx and Chris Cooper on board. Given the plot outline, it looks like Garner would be in familiar government super agent territory, considering her long tenure as the indefatigable Sydney Bristow (an agent who knows both Krav Maga, electromagnetic lock picking and Pilates!).

Garner made headlines last week with her charity work with hurricane Katrina victims. She toured New Orleans with Reese Witherspoon and Cicely Tyson, and was brought to tears by a children's performance:

"I've been shocked and heartbroken," said Garner, star of TV's "Alias" and the film "Elektra," who cried when the children danced and sang "Something Inside So Strong" by South African singer Labi Siffre.

It's good of her to lend her celebrity to the cause, and more government resources and effort should be put into support for Katrina victims. Many were without adequate housing for months.

Garner has said that Alias had a good run, but that she is sad to leave her character behind.

Whatever she does next, Garner is sure to do well. She's a positive, friendly person and doesn't take her success for granted.

Here she is outside The Late Show last night, and in New Orleans with Reese Witherspoon. There is also a scan from People magazine about their trip. [via]

Nicole Richie says it would "gross her out" to watch Paris' sex tape

Nicole Richie eventually addressed the rumor that she screened Paris Hilton's sex tape "One Night in Paris" for friends at a party by stating that she would never watch porn:

The 'Simple Life' star was alleged to have fallen out with the sexy socialite after showing the now infamous home made X-rated movie, 'One Night In Paris', to friends at a party.

Nicole has now vehemently denied carrying out the impromptu viewing and insists she has never seen Paris getting frisky on tape.

She said: "A, I don't watch porn, and B, I don't want to see someone I've known forever having sex. I mean, that's gross!"

On the video - which was released by Paris' ex-boyfriend, Rick Solomon - the hotel heiress is seen involved in a number of sex acts, including full penetrative sex and oral, and also performs a racy striptease.

Richie said earlier that she didn't want to be friends with Paris once she got out of rehab, because she decided to take "certain people out of my life."

Obviously there's still a lot of bad feelings between these two and we doubt they'll make up.

Here's Nicole giving her mom flowers for Mother's Day. She doesn't have to make some dumb excuse about how her present was "stolen" because she actually remembered to get her mother something.

Britney caught endangering Sean Preston - again

When I first saw these pictures of Britney driving with Sean Preston slumped over in his carseat in the back I thought, "oh, how cute, my son does that too." The thing is, I was thinking of him sleeping in his stroller, not his car seat. I also forgot that my son's car seat was until recently rear-facing as is required by law in the states for children under the age of one. My son never falls over like that when he's sleeping in the car, because he's strapped in tight.

Britney could get in trouble with Children and Family Services yet again:

The pregnant pop princess was spotted tooling around in her convertible Mini Cooper with 8-month-old Sean Preston slumped over in a forward-facing car seat. Federal regulations say kiddie seats should face backward until a child is a year old.

"It's far safer if the seat is facing backwards to avoid head-on injuries and whiplash in case of a collision," said California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall.

Spears, 24, "could be" cited for violating Section 27360 of the California Vehicle Code, which says child safety seats must be installed to comply with the federal standard.

"We would have to witness the violation. We can't issue a citation from a photograph," Marshall said.

"It's a bit of a gray area," he added, because state code doesn't specify the backward installation - a federal regulation does.

Spears' rep did not return calls for comment yesterday.

"We strongly urge anyone who is uncertain of how to install a car seat to come down to one of our headquarters and get help. We offer that service free of charge," said Marshall.

We installed car seats for our son in both of our cars about a week before he was born. Before we were allowed to leave the birthing center with our newborn, they checked the car to make sure we had a car seat and that it was installed properly. Britney or one of her handlers didn't know better when they put this seat in her new car, and obviously no one bothered to make sure it met regulations.

If she does get some kind of warning for this, it won't be her first. She's being monitored by the Department of Children and Family services, and will receive regular visits from the agency as a result of a head injury that eight month-old Sean Preston sustained when his hairchair supposedly snapped. (Although witnesses claimed SP also fell off the couch when Kevin was meant to be watching him, and that could have caused the injury.)

Britney was also famously pictured driving with Sean Preston on her lap, and refused to take responsibility for the incident, blaming the paparrazi for hounding her.

In terms of child endangerment, installing a carseat wrong is dangerous but seems like a legitimate mistake. At least she put him in the carseat this time.

Adriana Lima has a prince pussy-whipped - without the pussy

The Bastardly's sexiest woman of 2006, self-professed virgin and Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima, smacked her royal boyfriend across the face at his own birthday party:

Arriving late at P.M. Lounge at Friday's birthday party for her boyfriend, Prince Wence of Lichtenstein, part of the wealthiest royal family of Europe with $4 billion, she marched up to the birthday boy and slapped him across the face. (Maybe he forgot to send a car to pick her up.) "Then she went to the bar with a girlfriend," said a bystander. "Ten minutes later, she came back, picked up the prince's jacket, grabbed him by the arm and pulled him out the door." Presumably, they soon made up and the prince's birthday ended happily.

It's reassuring that there are models so sure of themselves that they don't worry about pissing off princes worth billions. Little girls dream of marrying princes and being sweet perfect wives. Maybe thanks to Adriana Lima's example some of them will realize that they don't have to put out or be nice to rule rich and powerful men. All is takes is sex appeal, nerve, and holding out.

Here she is at a Victoria's Secret fragrance promotion on 5/10.

Tori Spelling's "private" wedding

Last weekend Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott were married in a private ceremony on an island in Fiji attended by just the two of them - and a professional photographer. The couple had a large June wedding planned and the invitations were already sent out. They supposedly didn't tell anyone and decided to have a ceremony on the spur of the moment - but, oh yeah, they staged plenty of photo opportunities so that they'd have pictures to sell to People magazine.

The pictures are accompanied by cliched quotes from Tori and Dean about their wedding, like:

"It was very moving, very powerful..." - Dean

"It felt so right." - Tori

"I wanted to stay in this moment forever with him." - Tori

Trite details are included about the ceremony and reception, in which Tori and Dean did dumb shit just for the cameras:

The couple sipped mojitos and were treated to a traditional island show called a meke.

After the ceremony, the pair built sand castles complete with banners that read "McDermott Castle," "Truly," "Madly," and "Deeply."

The couple's first dance [in the water] was to "Amazed" by Lonestar. "My dress was soaked on the bottom and his pants were soaked."

How annoying is that? When "celebrity" couples get married on a private island, you're supposed to be spared the details and the pictures should be far away and blurry.

Tori Spelling is widely rumored to be pregnant, which would explain the rush wedding and Tori's pouchy stomach.

Dean McDermott's ex-wife, Mary Jo Eustace, says that McDermott left her for Tori just two months after they had adopted a baby girl, and that he didn't give her essential money for bills. Mary Jo Eustace may not be the victim she makes herself out to be. She's shopping around a book proposal for a tell-all about her failed relationship with McDermott, and has sold several stories to the tabloids.

These pictures were published in People magazine. When better scans come out, we'll replace them. [via]

Paris Hilton gives a dumb excuse for forgetting Mother's Day

I saw some pictures on WENN photo yesterday of Paris and Nicky Hilton pumping gas and getting ready to go to Mother's Day dinner with their mom, and I honest thought "Where is their gift?" (The pictures are low-quality watermarked, but you can see what I mean in the last two rows, below. Look at how messy their car is!)

Now Paris' rep claims that a bag containing $10,000 worth of gifts for ther mom for mother's day was "stolen" from in front of the Hilton mansion:

Paris Hilton's mother can only imagine what her celebrity daughter got her for Mother's Day. That's because thieves stole the gifts before Kathy Hilton received them.

A gift bag containing nearly $10,000 worth of Christian Dior shoes, sunglasses, handbags and perfume was taken from outside the Hilton home, spokesman Elliot Mintz said Monday.

The younger Hilton "spent three or four hours shopping to put together this wonderful collection of things for her mom," Mintz said.

A delivery person set the package down outside the home's gate to ring the intercom when a passenger in a passing car snatched the gifts.

"A fellow just whizzed by and grabbed the package," Mintz said.

The Hilton family celebrated Mother's Day by going out to dinner, he said.

Now, it's totally possible that this happened, but it sounds like a typical excuse for forgetting to get your mom anything for Mother's Day. We know that Paris and Nicky went shopping on Saturday as they were photographed going to Kitson, but Kitson is a trendy casual store and doesn't sell Christian Dior items. They didnt have any bags with them that would suggest they got anything else. Maybe they went somewhere else, too, but we doubt it. The paparrazi follow them everywhere, and they would have been easily spotted at an upscale boutique if they actually did all this heavy shopping for their mom. Also, why would they have gifts delivered if they were going to see their mother on Sunday? Wouldn't they bring the gifts with them?

There's something about Paris' mom, Kathy, that makes you feel sorry for her. Sure she has more advantages in life than large portions of the planet combined, but she just seems needy and unfulfilled. Her family must take her for granted, but at least they had a nice dinner together on Sunday.

Here are Paris and Nicky on Saturday outside of Kitson and on Mother's Day outside the Ivy restaurant. It's nice that Paris is pumping her own gas. [via] and [via] Paris, Nicky and their mom Kathy are shown at "The Race to Erase MS," above.

Beyonce and Jay-Z's big fight

The NY Post reported this weekend that Beyonce had a fight with her long term boyfriend, Def Jam president Jay-Z, while at Monday's Net-Heat playoff game, and left to fly back home:

May 13, 2006 -- THE tension wasn't only on the court at Monday's Net-Heat game. Sources say Beyoncé had a roiling blowup with Jay-Z as New Jersey dribbled over Miami, 100-88. "She stormed off and flew back home," one tipster said. Beyoncé's East and West Coast publicists were blissfully unaware of any fireworks. "I don't know if she had a fight," sniffed Columbia Records' Yvette Noel-Schure, who declined to contact her Grammy-winning client to find out for sure.

[via]

It seems like the report was overblown and the power couple patched things up quickly. They were snapped enjoying game three of the Net-Heat playoffs on Friday. Heat won 103 to 92, and is ahead in the series three to one. Game five is tomorrow.

Kylie Minogue to stage a series of comeback concerts in Melbourne

Australian singer Kylie Minogue will be playing a series of comeback concerts in her hometown of Melbourne. Minogue has headed back to the studio and plans to play live after having battled breast cancer last year:

The pop princess - who is recovering after battling breast cancer for the last year - is planning a string of shows at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena in November.

A source is quoted in Britain's The People newspaper as saying: "She insists on Melbourne for her family, friends and home town supporters.

"And her people have already pencilled in the dates in November - the height of summer Down Under - to guarantee a booking."

The singer - who was forced to cancel several dates of her sell-out 'Showgirl' world tour after she was diagnosed with the disease last May - is already practicing for the concerts.

Manager Terry Blamey said Kylie, who got the all-clear from cancer four months ago, is "going to come back better than ever".

Meanwhile, the star is also back in the recording studio.

The 37-year-old said: "I'm feeling much better but I'm taking things slowly. It's just good to be back. I've had a great week in the studio here and things couldn't be better.

"I'm not sure when my next single is coming out. I'm just working as fast as I can and getting it all done."

That's great news for Minogue and her new album is sure to be a hit.

Here she is outside a recording studio on May 11th. She looks so happy! [via]

Lindsay Lohan is now sleeping with Paris' ex, Paris Latsis

We just reported that Lindsay Lohan had swapped exes with Kate Moss after having dipped into Paris Hilton's leftovers by hooking up briefly with whiny Stavros Niarchos.

Now Lohan is bedding another of Paris' exes, Paris' namesake ex-boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis:

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly spent the night with Paris Hilton’s ex-fiance, Greek shipping heir Paris Latsis.

Sources close to Latsis say Lohan stayed at the greek shipping heir’s Beverly Hills mansion last night and now they are planning to meet up in the South of France at the Cannes Film Festival later this week.

Latsis will be traveling to Cannes with his family to attend the premiere of The Da Vinci Code. Lohan was planning to attend the film festival to do what she does best — party. The big question now is — will we see them both together?

Although Lohan is not starring in a film that is being shown at Cannes you can be sure that she has been invited to a number of other VIP events for A-list celebrities.

So that's why Lohan has been wearing the same clothes all the time - she's never home. You think she could roll up a dress and stuff it in one of her giant Balenciaga bags.

The girl has an addictive personality and she needs to slow down.

Here she with Nicole Richie is at the 13th annual "Race to Erase MS" fashion show sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger.

Britney Spears thinks she's all spiritual and psychic

Britney Spears has been getting deep beyond her ability to comprehend. She made a couple statements recently that reveal that she's trying to come to terms with the spiritual side of life, and is failing miserably.

She made a strange brief statement on her website, her first in over a year, saying she's given up Kabbalah.

I no longer study Kabbalah. My baby is my religion.

She is also quoted as saying that she considers herself a sort of prophet:

“I wrote this song [“Someday”] at my piano, at my house. I wrote it two weeks before I found out that I was pregnant, so it was really kind of weird, because the song’s about having a baby... and it’s something that I’d been dreaming about for a while. It’s kind of like a prophecy,” she said, reports Ananova. “Everyone in general should voice their wishes more, because I think the more you throw it out to the universe, if you’re in the right space and place in your life, it’s weird how the universe gives it back to you.

Britney, you may not have realized it consciously at the time, but when you have sex without protection you can get pregnant. So you had more of a biology revelation when writing that song than a spiritual awakening.

It's a good thing Britney has given up the Kabbalah cult, though. She doesn't need any more complications in her life.

Britney is pregnant with her second child, which is rumored to be a girl.

Here she is with an unknown male outside a studio in Hollywood on 5/12. Kevin Federline is shown on the same day outside another studio.

George Michael falls asleep at the wheel - again

British tabloid News of the World has pictures of a wasted George Michael at the wheel of his car. They were taken just after the troubled singer had to be woken up after blocking traffic for several minutes at a light. When he did get going again, he weaved all over the road and drove over the median:

On Thursday night the gay star went cruising near his home and dozed off at traffic lights in Highgate, north London.

They changed FOUR TIMES before he was woken with a start by a driver tapping on the window.

"He was sweating heavily and had his iPod on," said the driver. "That's probably why he didn't hear all the angry tooting behind him. He got going again—but was weaving all over the place. Then he hit a bollard. I doubt he even noticed it. He looked wasted. He just drove on."

This is the third time Michael has had car trouble. He was arrested at the end of February after being found passed out in his car. He was charged with posession of marjuana at the time and got off with a police caution. About a month ago, Michael was caught trying to leave the scene after hitting three parked cars.

It's too bad he was let off with a caution for his February arrest, because he should have been sent to rehab. Maybe this latest incident will be a wakeup call for Michael.

Kate Moss dates Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightly's ex; Lindsay dates Kate's Ex

Kate Moss is now dating Jamie Dornan, the British Wilmer Valderrama. His acting career hasn't taken off yet, but somehow he's managed to hook up with plenty of starlets. In case you're not familiar with Jamie Dornan, he dated Knightly Knightly on and off for about two years. The two split up in August of 2005 amid allegations that Dornan was jealous of Knightly's career. Dornan's only credited film on IMDB is the upcoming "Marie Antoinette."

Dornan has been keeping busy off screen:

In the beginning of April, Dornan was dating Sienna Miller, prompting Kiera Knightly to "warn" Miller to be careful with her ex. (Miller must have scared him off, or maybe she dumped him to get back with Jude Law or that model she went on vacation with.)

In mid-April, Dornan was dating Lindsay Lohan. (Lohan then hooked up with Stavros Niarchos briefly, and quickly moved on to Kate Moss' ex, James Burke.)

Dornan didn't waste any time, because he's now with Kate Moss.

British supermodel KATE MOSS is reportedly dating KEIRA KNIGHTLEY's ex-boyfriend JAMIE DORNAN. Moss and Dornan met on the set of a CALVIN KLEIN photoshoot in New York six weeks ago (APR06). And they have spent time together at Moss's London home, as well as enjoying dates at London's Dorchester hotel. A source close to Moss tells British paper The Mail On Sunday, "She likes seeing younger men - they make her feel sexy and desirable. "Jamie ticks all the right boxes for Kate. He's incredibly handsome, a bit of a scruff, and a musician to boot."

At least Moss isn't planning on marrying drug-addict Pete Doherty, but it's ridiculous how much these few women swap men. Maybe Lindsay and Kate made a deal that they would trade for the summer.

Here is Kate Moss outside of her car in London [via] and Lindsay Lohan shopping in Hollywood on May 12th. [via] If that's the actual date of these pictures, Lohan is having a lot of trouble changing her clothes lately. She was spotted out on the day before in the same outfit. .

These pictures are low-res. Sorry about that.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are going strong

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were rumored to be having relationship trouble, as reported by The National Enquirer at the beginning of the month. We mentioned that it didn't seem true to us.

Kidman and Urban seem to be doing well, becaue they made a rare public appearance together on Saturday at a United Nations Development Fund for Women event. Nicole Kidman serves as a goodwill ambassador and hosted the event, a 30th anniversary celebration for the organization:

United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) Goodwill Ambassador, actress Nicole Kidman lit up the Hilton New York ballroom today as she played host at UNIFEM's 30th anniversary gala. Ms Kidman was joined by a bevy of luminaries from the diplomatic, business, entertainment and fashion worlds, who gathered to honour Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Terry J. Lundgren, Chairman, President and CEO of Federated Department Stores, Inc.

"Commemorating UNIFEM's 30th anniversary is a special opportunity for me to bring UNIFEM's accomplishments to the attention of a larger audience of concerned citizens," said Ms Kidman, as she welcomed a packed room of almost 500 guests.

"So many people have come together this evening, not just to look back on UNIFEM's 30 very impressive years but to look ahead - when you've been blessed with a fortunate life, it is very much your duty to find the places where you can give back. I'm so proud to be part of UNIFEM's present and future."

UNIFEM aims to "foster women's empowerment and gender equality" through programs supporting women throughout the world.

In the pictures of the event, there was no sign of the wedding ring that Nicole was spotted wearing while in the Hamptons at the end of April. She is wearing the engagement ring that she has been seen with at earlier events. It's also difficult to tell if she's pregnant, as has been widely rumored.

That's good news that Nicole and Keith are donig well, and we hope a wedding for the two will happen soon.

Did Jessica Alba get a nose job?

Plastic Fantastic is reporting that Jessica Alba's nose looks surgically altered based on photos taken of her several days apart last week. At the ALMA awards on 5/7 her nose looks normail, but in a photo taken at Joe Francis' birthday party on 5/11, it looks pinched and strange. The article explains:

It's most likely that she's just sucking in her nostrils, but her face looks too natural for her to be doing that. Also her nostrils don't look deflated, which would occur if she was using the muscles on her face to "squeeze" her nose down. But she's smiling very widely.

If she did get a nose job, it's bad, because it's much too small, pointy and...for lack of a better word, dinky.

Jessica has expressed unhappiness about her nose in the past, she mentioned that she can't use too much powder on her nose, because it's round.

A rhinoplasty usually takes a few weeks to a month to be presentable, but apparently Ashlee Simpson's nose job healed in 5 days as well - and hers is very real and very apparent.

They can use injectable fillers above and below a hump, like Ashlee's nose, to camouflage the hump, but to shrink a nose you actually need to do a full on surgery to remove material from inside.

It's possible she's wearing a lot of makeup, and has taken anti-inflammatories such as bromelain, arnica and cortisone steroids. Or she's just squeezing her nose. On some of the close-ups, here, there's some slight discoloration around her cheeks, close to the nose.

At first I didn't believe that Alba got a nose job, but then I looked carefully at several before and after HQs and her nose seems to take up less space now. You can see a real difference in these two pictures:

Before HQ: 5/7/06
After HQ: 5/11/06

There's a little discoloration in her cheeks near her nose as the article mentions. Her nose could look smaller due to a difference in the lighting or makeup, and it's not that clear cut a difference across different photos. Her new nose doesn't look as bad as the article suggests, but it was cuter before.

There is also a good debate on the gossip rocks forum whether or not she's had a nose job.

Here are some more pictures to compare for yourself. These are pretty big, but you can see super high-res versions at the source:

Angelina and Brad's non-binding Namibian wedding

Life and Style Weekly is reporting that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were "married" in a wedding ceremony following Namibian custom. The ceremony may have sentimental value, but it is not recognized by US law and is not legally binding.

“She promised she’d marry him before the baby came, so she did,” an insider close to Angelina tells the weekly. “Now no matter what happens, Brad can always say he was married to Angie.”

The report from the magazine cites an insider "close to Angie" that claims Brad and Angie took part in a traditional Himba wedding ceremony.

What the heck’s a Himba, you ask?

L&S reports its an ancient tribe of Namibian nomads, whose weddings are often performed by tribal chieftains or without a leader at all. The bride wears an ekori, a headdress made of leather or goatskin, and jewelry made of iron and shells. Later, the groom’s family anoints her with butterfat from a cow.

Yuck! Snark alert - L&S says to watch out: Himba men practice polygamy.

Cue the rep: Brad’s rep denies they got married.

And the report admits from a legal standpoint, the wedding — like any religious ceremony - wouldn’t make them husband and wife: “They’ll marry again later in the U.S.,” says the insider.

It sounds like someone made this up, like most of the non-stories about the Jolie-Pitts. They're also supposed to be starting their own housewear line using local Namibian crafts.

Meanwhile Angelina is supposedly causing Brad to fear for their unborn baby's health by running off and picking fruits and berries with the women in the village. I sincerely doubt they're hanging out with the locals except for pre-approved photo opportunities.

If they did get "married" in Namibia, why aren't there stories about it in an African newspaper? It just doesn't seem like they could keep it a secret to only be leaked by one source, even with the crackdown on the paparrazi.

Until the baby comes, there's probably not much real news about the Jolie-Pitts and someone is making this crap up.

Jennifer Lopez gets sued for cancelling her weird tour

Jennifer Lopez is being sued by concert promoters for pulling out of her tour of select European and Middle-Eastern cities. They cite the massive costs of promoting her cancelled appearances, along with the cost and effort of catering to her every anticipated whim:

Bulgarian promoters Pick and More have teamed up with their colleagues from the rest of the cities where Latin diva Jennifer Lopez cancelled her tour to sue her.

Apart from the star's fee, the organizers of her Bulgarian gig admitted that they had spent about EUR 203,000 on commercials and to satisfy Lopez' many whims. The promoters said they has spent a little over EUR 3,000 on sunflower seeds, chili, aroma candles and mineral water, and then had to double the sum to transport all the supplies from the states.

Now J Lo is facing a trial and all the angry promoters are determined to get their money back. The most disappointing fact, Pick and More admitted, was that the diva didn't give any reason for the cancellation. The short note announcing that the rest of the tour was not to be did not bear any explanation, and many find this unethical...

The Latin star was supposed to hold her concert in Sofia on May 2, as part of the tour promoting her latest album "Rebirth", but she delayed the gig for May 23. Afterwards she cancelled the tour, leaving thousands of disillusioned fans in Mocow, Dubai, Mumbai, Athens, Baku and Thessaloniki.

People are speculating that J.Lo is pregnant since she looked slightly thick around the middle at the Time magazine awards and was sporting grey hair. It doesn't seem likely to us since she's been trying to get pregnant forever. If she is knocked up, she surely had some medical assistance and it seems like someone would have spilled the beans that she was getting fertility treatment.

Also, if she is pregnant it seems early enough in the pregnancy for her to be able to tour without a risk to her health. Her tour in Bulgaria was set to start May 23rd, a little over a week before she cancelled it.

We hope something else is up, because we can't stand J.Lo and don't want to have to report about her pregnancy and birth.
