Jennifer Garner could be pregnant again

Jennifer Garner only fuels those persistent rumors that she's pregnant again when she wears tops like this. This suspicious outfit coupled with the news that she fainted recently on the set of her new movie make it seem like she's carrying little Violet's sibling. I'm probably wrong, though, and she's just shy about her stomach. She looks gorgeous as ever wearing a loose top in these pictures taken in LA at the W Hotel on July 16th. [via]

Another suspect Suri sighting and TomKat aids accident victims

Suri was said to have attended the birthday party of Jada Pinkett and Will Smith's son, Jaden, but there are no pictures and the wording of the description given by the supposed eyewitness is suspect. They use the same description of the baby that we've heard before "dark, curly hair," "no physical deformities," and "looks like Tom." It could be because that's how the baby actually looks, or because someone is feeding these lines to the press.

Does this sound true to you?

According to the eyewitness: "Suri is a beautiful baby. She had no deformities that I could see! She has a gorgeous head full of dark, curly hair, and she resembles both parents, though she looks slightly more like Tom."

Tom and Katie Holmes appeared relaxed at the party, which was held at a roller-skating rink.

Adds the snitch: "Sadly, they did not attempt to roller-skate."

Meanwhile Katie and Tom are said to have "comforted accident victims" when they stopped to check on a couple after they were involved in a crash:

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes helped comfort a pair of shaken accident victims Saturday night, PEOPLE has learned.

A rep for the couple confirms that Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, were on their way home from the airport after a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, for an exhibition soccer game (their friend David Beckham and his team, Real Madrid, beat Real Salt Lake 2-0), when they saw a couple on L.A.'s 101 Freeway who had apparently just been in a car accident.

The engaged pair and parents to 4-month-old daughter Suri checked to make sure the passengers, Jon Henningsen and his wife, were not seriously injured, then waited with them until the police and fire department arrived on the scene.

I don't believe any of this. What's wrong with me? Everything about Tom and Katie seems like it's fake to me and I have trouble buying this story.

The person who posted this story on Oh No They Didn't, Chung Chung, says "I call bullshit," and that he/she remembers a similar story coming out about Tom helping an accident victim about ten years ago. If it was Matthew McConaughey, I would say it's true, but Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes? I doubt it.

What people are saying about the supposed Suri pictures

So these far-away pictures of a supposed baby Suri where published on X17online, and I found myself reading all the comments on JustJared. I'm rather fascinated by the sordid baby Suri story, and personally believe that something incredibly fishy is going on. Like the pictures of the Loch Ness Monster (which some claim were just the trunks of submerged circus elephants bathing in the Loch) all is not what it seems. There's something ominous and creepy about these photographs and they look staged.

Here are my favorite comments, organized by category, from JustJared.

These pictures are really fucking creepy, and make it seem like Katie is trapped

Ugh, I got the shivers looking at this picture. It is very Omen-esque...like the scary nanny and the mansion. So very scary. - MMM

Looks like a scene out of a horror movie. Woman gazes out of window of large country manor house as child of satsn lulls behind her in crib plottin end of the world. Whatever! So tired of Tom, Katie (Kate) and even the child that they could show up at my door and I wouldn't care. - HeyBabyHeyBabyHey

It's a scene from Amityville Horror meets Rosemary's Baby. - Niecy

The Baby is too big. It's older than they claim or it's a doll:

It looks too big to be a baby...it's probably Tom wearing diapers. It is truly scary as mentioned in other comments...I think when I do see the baby I will still never belive it is truly the couple's real child. :( - Natalie

Uh, that looks like a 2 year old...and something is DEIFINTELY rotten in Denmark. I am so over Tom "Crazy Pants" Cruise. - redonkulous

this baby looks too big to be 4 months!! katie looks scarey looking out the window. i got chills, they're multiplying! - diane

My friend's baby is 10 months, 28" tall and 18 pounds. My baby is 3 months old, 23" tall and 15 pounds. Don't make me cry by saying Suri couldn't POSSIBLY be that big already- my guy's a Sumo! :) - UberGoober

These pictures are staged:

I'd feel bad that we were peeking into their house if the whole thing didn't scream "STAGED!!!!" I hope Katie is planning her escape. - mickey

Fake...its a prop. Plus, why would you leave a baby just laying on a bed alone? Its staged and fake?!?! - Me

It's wrong to peep into the Cruise's mansion:

am i the onlyone who finds it kinda wrong that they peeked into their windows with a telephoto lens? sure i want to see thekid,but this makes me feel kinda weird. - ter

I can't stand Tom or Katie, but I think the paps are going too far. I'd be pissed if they were taking pictures of people in my damn house! Disgusting. What a culture we live in. - Erin

i think katie is trying to spot the helicopter. wellthe baby (actually the whole pic) looks way to grany to see anything, so vanity fair still got their scoop. however i think it's wrong to take these kind of pics, even though i can't bring myself to not look at them. still i feel kinda bad for them.- Bertz

The way these photos were taken is horrible indeed! Celebrities can't even stand at their fuckin' windows without being photographed! No miracle that Suri hasn't seen the day of light yet - when they even take pictures of her when she's IN the house! - Angelika

About the conspiracy:

Anonymous , I totally agree with you. I know an insider, as well, who swears that Tom is gay, that he knows of assorted men and "rent boys" that have been brought in for Tom (he's that close to the situation) and that the baby Nicole miscarried was her driver's (not Ewan MacGregor's) and Tom was PISSED that she violated her contract, just shy of its 10-year stipulation...that's why he TRIED to get away with not giving her the pay-off on their business contract sham of a marriage. People have been PAID to keep their mouths shut; others have been PAID to lie their asses off! Tom has NOT fathered any biological child because he has not had sex with any of his so-called wives...they have ALL been under contract in their "marriages" to pose as a real wife and have been paid well and signed papers that they cannot disclose ANY information on Tom, their relationship or his involvement with the Church of $. So, you will NOT be hearing any negative or contradictory comments from Nicole. He even bugged her house after they split. There is a baby, but it was born back in December. That is the reason Katie's belly has fluctuated so much in size...yes, she was pregnant, but she was pregnant long before it was announced. They cannot show the baby at this time, because the baby is too big to be passed off as a four-month-old, because it is, in fact, eight months old. The baby IS NOT TOM'S! As far as the paps go, this is an invasion of privacy. I don't know if that picture is really Suri, yet. But Suri is not a four-month-old baby! Tom may release photos when she gets large enough to "fudge" her age, but right now, she could NOT pass for a four-month-old. End of story. - whisper

Stop thinking about this shit that long! Just because there haven't been any photos around yet Katie wasn't even pregnant at all, Tom isn't the biological father or the kid is somehow ugly or what?? That's absolutely crazy, and I feel sorry for everyone like Aisling who invent crazy, weird stuff in their heads. That's complete bullshit, there haven't been any pictures of Tom's adopted kids at the beginning either, he just obviously didn't want it - look at all the Scientology rules, people aren't even allowed to do baby talk in Suri's presence, so why should the public be allowed to even SEE her? Just forget about this baby and live your own life! You'll see the pictures when they're released, end of story!! - Angelika

Whatever's going on, these creepy ass pictures don't clear it up!

Meanwhile the Beckhams have been invited to see the miracle changeling in person, but the list of rules are weird as hell. Maybe by inviting the Beckhams and telling them they can't touch, photograph or talk to the baby, Cruise's camp hopes to explain why the poor thing hasn't seen the light of day.

Britney gives K-Fed a credit card with no limit

Britney Spears has shown the world how gullible she is by giving her husband an American Express Black card, also known as the Centurion. An invitation-only card with a hefty $2,500 annual fee, the Centurion gives holders automatic first class flight upgrades on all airlines and offers access to airport clubs and personal shoppers at luxury stores. It features a personal concierge and travel agent. If you can think it up, you can probably get it with an AmEx black card.

In the 1980s tales of the "Black" no-limit American Express card were just urban legends, but Amex responded to the black card lore and decided to offer it to high rollers. Now rappers name-drop it in songs, and uber-rich people have the opportunity to go deeper in debt than they ever dreamed possible.

By giving K-Fed access to her Amex Centurion, Britney is essentially letting him empty any bank account he wishes. He has the opportunity to spend lots of money in a very short time with a single phone call. Here's what people have done with the Centurion card:

One cardholder wanted to locate and purchase the horse ridden by Kevin Costner in Dances with Wolves. The horse was located in a stud ranch in Mexico, purchased and delivered to Europe.

Another cardholder wanted a handful of sand from the Dead Sea for a child's school project on the Holy Land. Someone was dispatched by motorcycle to the shores of the Dead Sea to obtain the sand, which was couriered back to London.

Yet another cardholder required American Express to organize a wedding, including designing the wedding card, drawing maps to direct guests to the banquet, renting tuxedos and shoes for guests, and preparing the hotel room with a jacuzzi for the wedding night.

And for another cardholder who aspired to be an actress and wanted to be part of the crew of a weekly soap opera on TV, American Express contacted the director and arranged for an audition.

Hey maybe AmEx can help K-Fed with his rapping career! He should call them up now that the black card is in his posession. They seem capable of hooking people up with just about anything.

Seriously, though, Britney is trusting her fortune to a guy who has a custom Ferrari worth more than a quarter of a million dollars, and a Maserati worth at least six figures. He also reportedly bought a $30,000 watch without asking Britney. Now is that the kind of person you would trust with your money?

Here's Britney dropping off a mini Escalade at her recording studios for Sean Preston to play with while she's there, and Kevin getting a haircut and pumping gas. Sean Preston, 11 months, took his first steps in Las Vegas last week. So now he must be old enough to drive a car, right?

Elusive baby Suri supposedly captured on film!

First people said they saw her, and now there are supposed photographs that will be published in Vanity Fair this Fall. Come on, why the delay?

SURI Cruise's days of being a mystery baby some believe doesn't really exist are about up. Sources say Vanity Fair has landed the first photos of the care fully guarded tot spawned by Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes last April. The pictures were taken by ce lebrity snapper Annie Leibovitz and will be published this fall, spies say. Both Vanity Fair and Cruise's reps had no comment. In recent weeks, celeb pals of the couple, including Tom's ex Penelope Cruz, have tried to dampen skepticism by insisting they've seen her.

You know they say that the photographs were taken by Annie Liebovitz to add a smidgeon of legitimacy to the claims that Suri's been photographed. Why would they take pictures ~~now~~ ahead of time and then release them in the Fall? They have to know that the pictures will get out and no amount of legal threats will keep them off the blogs like little Shiloh's online debut. Unless there really are no fucking pictures at all and they're just trying to buy time until they can come up with a baby.

By saying the pictures were taken ~~now~~ in April they also get the added advantage of masking the baby's age. Babies age a lot in a few months. If they claim the pictures were taken ~~now~~ in April they have a few months to procure a newborn baby and get pictures taken just in time for publication.

This baby has never been photographed even far away and there's a huge bounty on its head. No baby accessories, strollers, or carseats have ever been seen near its parents or their vehicles. There are very peculair circumstances surrounding its birth, with a questionable birth certificate. Only a few "eyewitnesses" have come forth - with strange statements that sound coerced.

Yesterday Tom's rep said that pictures would be released "soon." All of sudden they're claiming that Annie Liebovitz has already photographed the baby. This is bullshit.

Update: Thanks to Angelika for pointing out that the baby was said to be photographed back in April, not now. That makes it even more suspect because they have until the Fall to get pictures of a newborn.

Power struggle at the Jolie-Pitts: Angelina walks out!

Angelina supposedly got fed up with Brad's demands that she stay at home and take care of their kids and left their Malibu estate in a huff to stay at a hotel with the kids for a few days. Star Magazine is set to report that she checked into the Hotel Bel Air in Beverly Hills on July 29:

Star then cites "sources close to Angelina" that claim she stormed out of the Malibu mansion she shares with Pitt after a fight. The report will detail that Brad supposedly offended his "free spirited lover when he suggested that she should play stay at home mom while he is on location for Ocean’s Thirteen."

Jolie already has two projects lined up with 'Kung Fu Panda' and 'A Might Heart' so it might be tough to keep this lady at home...

Brad was reportedly “stunned” and “incredibly angry,” says the insider, while Angie and their brood settled calmly into the lap of luxury for a few days of what the mag calls "Father Doesn’t Know Best."

An employee of the hotel told Star, “We are taking extra good care of her.”

Don't worry Brangelina fans, they have kissed and made up according to the report.

Star reports that by Aug 3rd the couple had made amends - the couple met for a romantic dinner at the nearby Hotel Roosevelt’s Dakota restaurant, where they shared a cheeseburger, a quesadilla and a salad.

The pair then spent the night in a romantic $7,000 a night suite.

Here are the websites for the Hotel Bel Air and the Hotel Roosevelt so you can see where the famous hotties stayed. I only have one kid, not three, but I'd use any excuse to get away to a spa resort for a few days if I could. Who can blame Angelina?

She must be stressed out being a new mom and I bet she won't be adopting right away as she seemed to imply in recent interviews.

I was a bit curious about the timeline in this report because didn't she just step out with Brad and Maddox for lunch? It turns out that was on July 25th, making this timeline possible. Considering the demand for photos of the Jolie-Pitts, it's surprising that no one has any pictures of her stay at the resort, but that's probably why she picked the place - and part of the reason why she needed to get away.

There does seem to be a power struggle in Brad and Angelina's relationship. With Angelina having the upper hand for so long, she must be annoyed that Brad is working and striking out on his own. She's probably just overwhelmed with motherhood, though. People think this won't last, but I bet they'll weather more than a few storms together.

Here are some of the latest St. John ads featuring Angelina. [via]

Suri to be unveiled (when Tom feels like it)

MSNBC's The Scoop borrows our unoriginal observation by calling Suri the "Loch Ness Monster of celebrity babies."

The whereabouts of baby Suri has become so hotly debated that some wags are calling Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ child the Loch Ness Monster of the celeb world: some are claiming to have seen her, while others insist she's just a myth.

One rumor is that protective pop Top Gun is reluctant to trot out the child because he’s worried about kidnapping threats. His spokesman denies that buzz — and even denies that Cruise is “reluctant” to show Suri.

“He hasn’t been reluctant,” spokesman Arnold Robinson tells the Scoop. “They will be making a decision to release the photographs [of Suri] shortly.” Will the pics be released to a single or few media outlets, or will it be a general release? “That’s part of the decision they’ll be making shortly,” he said.

Yeah, they'll make that decision, uh, shortly. Just like they'll get married any day now. All those preparations at the Celebrity Scientology Center were indeed for a big party as we reported, and not for a supposed wedding or non-existent Suri's Scientology baptism. It was their 37th anniversary of brainwashing people, and John Travolta and Kelly Preston showed up, lest the Scientologists reveal their darkest secrets. TMZ has a video of Travolta dancing or something at the party, but it didn't load for me. I'm so dissapointed.

Penelope Cruz said she'd met Suri, but then totally backtracked and made a weird roundabout statement about how she didn't want to have to lie anymore.

It's important to keep living life as an observer and not just feel like you're being the thing observed because then you start looking at yourself from the outside instead of really alert...I forget people are looking at me in a situation like that, like yesterday."

Here are two guys who work at a radio station protesting outside a Scientology center in Portland. They're "demanding the Cruise baby." You really don't have to watch this, you get the point.

The best is their protest sign with Cuba Gooding Jr. saying "Show me the Baby!"

"Where are here, do si do, show us Suri then we'll go." "It's not fair, we all lose, please show us Suri Cruise"

They ask "Will we ever see the Polaroid of that little baby mongloid?" OMG That is so un-pc, I'm sorry, but it made me laugh.

Britney Spears asks which car is hers; is having a girl

Faded Youth scopes out X17's video of Britney shopping for toys and comes to the logical conclusion that she's having a baby girl this time around. She is seen looking at frilly girl's toys in the video. I was going to just report on the fact that Britney's having a girl, but then I found this awesome video taken on August 5th when she can't get into her car and has to ask the paparrazi if it's hers!

There must be a lot of black BMW SUVs in Britney's neighborhood.

Is Gwyneth Paltrow considering lipo?

Britain's The Mirror is reporting that Gwyenth Paltrow wants plastic surgery to repair her post-baby figure. They claim that she had a talk with friends in which she admitted to not being pleased with her body and asking about surgical options. While I think comparison photographs make it clear that Gwyneth has had plastic surgery on her face, including a nose job and eye lift, I doubt this conversation ever took place. I've caught the British tabloids making up shit wholesale (and I'm sure the American rags do it too, the Brits are just more obvious) and this sounds like a fabricated story:

The mum-of-two and wife of COLDPLAY’s CHRIS MARTIN told a group of old American friends who were visiting London last week: “My stomach is rippling, my breasts don’t feel good. I’ve been trying to work out. I want to do something about it.”

Then she quizzed one of them about surgery while they were lunching at North London’s trendy Lord Stanley pub.

And, in true American style, her chum recommended she have the op in New York so she wouldn’t be pictured going to hospital.

Gwyneth, who gave birth to son Moses by caesarean in April, also confessed she wasn’t sure about having any more children.

She told her friends she loved being a mum. But when they asked if she planned to have more children she replied: “I don’t think so.”

The article goes on to say that Gwyneth confessed that her two year-old daughter, Apple, is jealous of newborn Moses.

It's possible that one of her friends blabbed about the conversation or that a waiter overheard them, but I think that the Mirror knew that Gwyneth dined with American friends at a particular restaurant and filled in the details. She looks great, but she's not as thin as she normally is and guessing that she's not happy with her body isn't that much of a stretch.

Here are recent pictures of Gwyneth that I read were taken outside of a London gym. Hot Momma Drama asks if she could be pregnant, but it just looks like she's wearing an unflattering top.

Diddy may have fathered another kid outside his relationship

Diddy was supposedly set to propose to his longterm girlfriend, Kim Porter, but news got out that a woman in Atlanta just had a baby that she claims is his, and Kim is mighty pissed. He's due to take a paternity test and the results might be quite expensive for him:

A close friend to Kim tells MediaTakeOut.com that she's furious with Puffy. According to our source, the woman gave birth to a child just a few days ago and Puffy is scheduled to take a paternity test this week. The source explained, "Kim has learned to accept Puffy's private cheating, but having another child is a real slap in the face," adding, "if Puffy turns out to be the father, Kim may finally leave him."

But this isn't the first bump in the road for Puffy and Kim. Puffy publicly broke up with Kim to date actress Jennifer Lopez - only to reconcile with her after being dumped by Lopez. The rap mogul has since been rumored to have strayed from the relationship with dozens of women. And earlier this year the two reportedly had an argument on Puffy's yacht which left Porter with a broken nose. Again Kim took him back, telling reporters that she "banged her nose on a table."

If Puffy is the father of the Atlanta woman's child, she's in line for a huge pay day. Misa Hylton-Brim, the mother of Puffy's first child Justin, receives $19,000 a month in child support payments. Kim Porter, the mother to Puffy's 8-year old son Christian, receives a reported $32,000 a month in child support.

My god that's some high child support. He shells out 50k a month for two kids! With another potential baby, he's looking at around $75k.

We'll have to see how this one turns out, but he may be on the market again if that baby turns out to be his.

Here are some pictures of Diddy and Kim porter shooting an ad for his Sean Jean cologne in Monaco.

Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen to make beautiful baby clothes together

Remember that baby clothing venture that I was making fun of Britney for forgetting about just a couple of days ago? It seems she hasn't dropped it after all. Word is she asked Charlie Sheen, who launched his own "Sheen Kids" line just when his estranged wife decided to air a bunch of dirt on him, if she can collaborate with him for help launching her own line of baby clothes:

Britney Spears is reportedly hoping to team up with Charlie Sheen and his Sheen Kidz project on her new children's clothing line. "Brit's people approached Sheen Kidz out of the blue," a source told OK! magazine. "She's seen his clothing and really liked it. She wants to start her own children's clothing line and she thought Sheen Kidz would be able to help get things off the ground." The source also added that Sheen is willing to give it a go, saying, "Charlie believes it would be fun to work with Britney."

That's smart of Britney to get help from someone who already has a line of children's clothing out. It's rare of her to ask for advice and she should be commended.

Meanwhile Anna Nicole Smith has asked Britney to hang out with her. She's posted a message on her stupid video diary telling Britney she'd love to be her friend:

"If you wanted to be friends, I would so much love to hang out with you."

Smith continues, "I think you're totally cool, and I think we're going to have our babies about the same time."

Smith is pretty dumb if she thinks that Britney's due date is just around the same time as hers. Maybe she'll get some free baby clothing out of the deal, though. She'll need the help since her website isn't really bringing in the subscribers.

Tom Cruise to buy Neverland? Does Suri just have a birthmark?

The PopBitch e-mail newsletter claims that Tom Cruise is scoping out Neverland ranch and may possibly purchase the freaky estate from heavily in debt Michael Jackson:

There's been lots of talk about the Church of Scientology buying Neverland from Michael Jackson. We're hearing that this story is not quite true. It's even freakier. Scientology champion Tom Cruise is thinking of buying it for himself. He's been flying around the strange theme park to see if it would make a suitable hideaway for him and invisible baby Suri.

Cruise has to know that this would be an incredibly stupid move. It doesn't matter how nice the property, zoo, and amusement park are. It would tie him to weirdo Michael Jackson and the press would have a field day.

The newsletter goes on to say that Suri might just have a big birthmark and that could be the reason why she's been shielded from view:

And talking of Suri - our favourite theory as to why she's never been seen? The baby is rumoured to have a large port-wine stain, which can't be treated until she's three or four months old.

That's possible, and a very clever excuse if Tom's camp made it up. Why has nary a bundle, car seat or covered up little baby been seen though? I don't buy it!

Meanwhile there are preparations underway at the Celebrity Scientology Center for what Pink is the New Blog speculates could be Suri's unvieling or Tom and Katie's wedding.

Rebels-Rebels had these pictures of the chandelier and tents covering the compound, and Mollygood has an eyewitness report that they seem to be gearing up for something.

DListed says that there's a "37th Gala Event" on August 5th though, which just means they're having some sort of Scientology party.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes to marry this fall?

Tom Cruise has supposedly agreed on a fall wedding to seal his suspicious relationship with young Katie Holmes. No one quite believes that their changeling baby exists, even if there's one prominent actress who's willing to vouch for it. (Why didn't Will Smith speak up too, huh?) So announcing a vague official date for their sham nuptuals should stem the rumors that they don't really have a baby and their relationship is contractual, right?

A spokesman confirmed yesterday that the couple, who welcomed daughter Suri into the world in April, are planning a ceremony at one of the Top Gun actor's homes before winter arrives.

The pair's spokesman Paul Blach said: "As far as I know, the plans are for late summer, early fall."

He also confirmed that the ceremony will be held at one Cruise's properties, but gave no further details.

Despite plans for the nuptials going ahead, it is rumoured that Katie's parents will not attend the event if the pair wed in a Scientology ceremony.

There's also a rumor that "hollywood insiders" are "scratching their heads" over Suri's nonappearance and that Tom and Katie are fighting over how to introduce the fictional infant to the public. Someone read the blogs and made this shit up, because there's no baby to show or relationship to lose:

"It's been three months," a Hollywood insider told The ENQUIRER.

"People are starting to scratch their heads now over Tom and Katie's baby because now it is really starting to look weird.

Tom's spokesman denies the couple's relationship is strained, but sources say the strain of keeping baby Suri under wraps is taking a toll on Tom and Katie's relationship and that they have split over how to deal with the situation. "Tom's total obsession with secrecy has sparked a host of bizarre lies and fabrications that threaten to tear the couple apart," continued the source.

The only reason Tom and Katie will get married at this point is to try and salvage Tom's tanking career. I don't buy any of the weird shit surrounding their relationship or supposed baby. Where's the baby carriage, where's a baby seat, where's a carrier? They need to work harder to cover their deep, meandering tracks.

Tori Spelling is either pregnant or really, really wants a designer baby

Tori's essentially been cut out of her dad's will in a deal that would make most of us ecstatic with joy. Poor Tori can't continue her frivolous lifestyle unless her friends chip in to keep her in the illusory labels she's accustomed to. She's registered at a chic baby boutique, meaning that she's pregnant or desperately planning to be. The gossip rags have been divided on Tori's pregnancy, but it seems likely in light of this latest news:

Spelling is also hoping that friends dig into their pockets to help her furnish her nursery, so she’s registered for pricey goods at Petit Tresor, the swank Los Angeles baby store favored by celebs such as Britney Spears. Spelling has not commented on rumors that she’s pregnant and a spokeswoman for the shop told The Scoop, “we don’t discuss such private matters.”

“She was in with her husband [Dean McDermott], who was very sweet and seemed to be intimately involved with all the decisions,” reports a spy. “They registered for tons of things, including furniture.”

I would bet that Tori's seriously in debt. If she's resorted to selling her clothes on eBay she must have better things to worry about than whether her unborn baby will be decked out in the latest high-priced accessories.

Instead of reassessing her life and shopping at average stores for her baby stuff like the rest of us, Tori is still clinging to the vestiges of wealth. She doesn't know any better. It's making her miserable and she's going to lose everything, but she just can't let go.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are sleeping apart

Their newborn is just over two months old, so this isn't that shocking, but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are repotedly sleeping apart because Angelina wants to be near Shiloh while Brad needs his beauty sleep:

Sleep-loving Brad Pitt has apparently moved into a separate bedroom as Angleina Jolie takes care of the their baby Shiloh.

The Fight Club star is supposedly struggling to get his beauty sleep in following Shiloh’s birth in May, so has decided to sleep in a different room to his gorgeous lover whilst she stays with their infant daughter.

A source tells The People, "She wants to keep an eye on her. Brad needs his sleep but he helps when he can."

This sounds like the time they were staying in that slum in Paris and Brad had to sleep on the couch because Angelina was pregnant and taking up the whole bed.

Star Magazine is reporting that Angelina is not happy with her stretch marks and post-partum body and that's the real reason she's keeping Brad out of the bedroom. She supposedly doesn't want to have sex, which is worrying Brad, but she just had a baby and that sounds pretty normal.

Dana at Dana's Dirt says that Angelina better put out soon or Brad will lose interest:

Brad's actually quite concerned but she's in denial and won't get help... and he's worried because she was usually so into sex and now she isn't... I guess that's normal, it's only been a few months, but he might start to get a wandering eye if she keeps holding out on him....

If he did it with you, he'll do it to you ANGELINA!

Here's Angelina driving around, looking fierce. Shiloh is said to be in the back seat, but that's not big news since it's not like Suri, whose supposed baby seat or stroller has never been photographed.

Jada Pinkett Smith claims to have seen "Suri"

Jada Pinkett Smith, Will Smith's wife, says that she's seen Tom and Katie's supposed daughter and that she's beautiful. Her quotes are much more believable than Leah Remini's, especially since she's a cult outsider, but I'm not buying it:

"She's one of the sweetest babies I've ever met in my life," Pinkett Smith says. "She's an absolute beauty and she's Daddy's little girl."

Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith have visited with Suri twice, both times at Cruise and Holmes's Beverly Hills mansion.

"She's beautiful and they're very happy and they need to be left alone," says Pinkett Smith, who described Suri while talking to PEOPLE about her participation in last weekend's Philadelphia anti-violence event, Party 4 Peace, run by pal Charles "Charlie Mack" Alston. "She's the cutest little baby. She's got a head full of black, beautiful hair."

I'll take empirical evidence over some actress/singer's word any day. Hey people, I saw a ghost of an old woman last night. She looked incredibly sad, had white hair in a bun, wore a long dress, and I could see through her. Now that I made that claim, that ghost must exist, right?

The Daily Mail calls the rumors that Suri doesn't exist "conspiracy theories" and says that they're "crazy" and "clearly inaccurate." It's not inaccurate to say she's never been seen, and it's easy to dismiss a good argument by labeling it a conspiracy theory without addressing its merits. It's not a conspiracy theory if it's true!

That same crappy article recycles a made up quote by Katie's dad, who originally was said to have complained about Katie's "Buff Brides" workout plan. They changed it around to make it sound like he was disagreeing with Scientology, but the original quote was about her fitness plan. I know it was fake because the article also featured a fake quote by Sue Fleming, the creator of Buff Brides and a family friend.

Here's the quote from the article:

"My daughter needs rest, relaxation and recuperation. It’s all down to Scientology and I simply can’t go along with what is happening."

Here's the original, totally bogus quote:

"My daughter needs rest, relaxation and recuperation. Katie is already doing exercises to build up her back and shoulders and I simply can't go along with what is happening."

The truth is that no one knows how Katie's parents feel about her involvement in Scientology, or about the fact that they supposedly haven't seen their grandchild. Maybe they realize that she doesn't exist and they're in on the scam. Regardless if Jada Pinkett Smith has seen the little changeling, why has nary a bandle been photographed by the ever-present paparrazi?

People can claim that the baby's being shielded by the Scientologist freaks, but wouldn't someone take her out for a walk at least once in the more than three months that she's supposedly been on the planet?

Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to be the first wax baby at Madame Tussauds

A wax figure of newborn Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt will be unveiled at Madame Tussaud's museum today. The famous baby will be placed in an African-themed manger display. Just like her philanthropist parents, little Shiloh is earning even more money for charity:

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, has been chosen to be the first infant ever memorialized in wax by Madame Tussauds. The wax statue of Shiloh will be unveiled today. As sources claim the statue will be displayed in an ‘African-themed nursery’ where it will rest in a woven basket. Waxen figures of Brad and Angelina will also be displayed beside Shiloh.

Visitors to the NY exhibit will be allowed to pose with waxen Jolie-Pitt tableau and Madame Tussauds has announced to donate $1 from every picture purchased to UNICEF. That’s great a two months old baby is able to make so much of money for other less privileged kids. Shiloh’s first pictures were sold for $4.1 million and the proceedings were given to charity.

When the pictures come out, we'll publish them here. In the meantime, here are the first pictures of little Shiloh that you've already seen. The little wax baby must be based on these. Awww.

Thanks to Celebguru for the story!

Gillian Anderson is pregnant - just after leaving her husband

Former X-Files star Gillian Anderson, 37, left her second husband, documentary filmmaker Julian Ozanne, 42, after just 16 months. They announced their split at the end of April.

Anderson is pregnant now with her second child and is dating a new guy, but she's visibly pregnant, and looks like she's about five months along. That means that either she got pregnant by her estranged husband and will be raising his baby with another guy (which is similar to what Heidi Klum did with Seal) or that she was pregnant by her boyfriend and that could be the reason she split up with her husband:

X-Files star star Gillian Anderson is pregnant just three months after splitting from her husband.

The actress, 37, has told friends she is expecting a baby following her separation from documentary-maker Julian Ozanne, her second husband...

Miss Anderson is now reported to be dating wheelclamping firm director Mark Griffiths. The 34-year-old businessman, who operates his lucrative private clamping company from an industrial estate in North London, was previously linked with former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.

Last month Mr Griffiths, who used to live close to Miss Anderson's marital home in Notting Hill, West London, moved into her new £3million home in nearby Holland Park.

The couple are also said to have enjoyed a holiday to California with Piper, Miss Anderson's daughter by her first husband, Canadian television art director Clyde Klotz. The actress's marriage to Mr Ozanne broke down shortly after The Mail on Sunday revealed she had a bizarre alcohol-fuelled outburst on a flight in January this year...

When The Mail on Sunday asked Mr Ozanne if his former wife was pregnant he declined to comment.

We speculated back in April that Anderson's relationship with her second husband was probably on the rocks because she seemed to be drinking too much. She suffered from drunken air rage (although one can hardly blame her, with the stress of flying and all) and looked visibly drunk in these candids of her out with her then-husband.

Hopefully she's laying off the sauce now that's she's pregnant and maybe she'll find happiness with her latest beau. It's not too promising that he runs a "wheel-clamping" business, though. Who doesn't hate those guys?

Here are pictures of Anderson from March out with her husband. She is seen at the Belle Epoque Dinner on 3/16 and in some candids looking visibly soused. Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are also shown. The first set of pictures you may have seen before, but the second set are new to me. [via]

Jennifer Garner is a responsible mom

Jennifer Garner arrived in Boston from Arizona by private plane with her eight month-old daughter, Violet. She soon found out that the SUV that was transporting her back to Cambridge was not equipped with a carseat. She wasn't having that, and set an example for celebrity moms everywhere by insisting that one be installed before she left:

Jen and Violet got into the SUV waiting to take them to Cambridge only to find that there was no carseat installed. Jen was apparently "adamant" that one be found, and "took the baby in the terminal and didn’t come out until someone returned with a seat...When the guy did come back with one, it took him about 20 minutes to figure out how to secure it. She wasn’t happy.”

Jen's quite an intelligent woman, and she would never jeopardize her baby's safety just to get somewhere a little faster.

Ben and Jen are said to be considering a permanent move to Cambridge. They are staying in the Boston suburb, home to MIT to Harvard, while Ben directs "Gone Baby Gone." Ben's mom and Jennifer's sister live nearby, and sources say they may make it their home base:

As you are sooooooooo aware by now, the Afflecks have settled quite nicely into a rented manse near Ben’s childhood home in the People’s Republic whilst he films “Gone, Baby, Gone.” (The film wraps Aug. 4.) And the Hollywood honeys appear to be quite content with life in Harvard Square as they take daily walks with little Vi in the carriage, chatting up neighbors and fans along the way. Can’t do that in paparazzi-infested Brentwood! The couple, according to [Us Weekly's] sources, plan to commute to the Left Coast for film projects and other movie star commitments, but would call Cambridge home.

And why not? Ben’s mom, Chris, lives nearby, Jen’s sis lives in Newton and ya know how the “GBG” director loves the local politics (they’ve both ponied up to Deval Patrick’s gubernatorial campaign).

I love it in Cambridge and always stay there when I visit Boston. It's a bitch to drive around the city, but the subway is pretty logical and convenient, and it seems like a nice place to live.

Garner is rumored to be pregnant again, with Star Magazine saying that she recently left a medical building looking happy and talking on her cellphone, and eagle-eyed bloggers like us pointing out that her stomach is not perfectly flat. It doesn't seem likely.

Rachel Weisz and her adorable baby

Rachel Weisz was snapped getting into a supposedly new Jeep in NY on 7/15. The pictures are captioned "Rachel Weisz and her new baby buy a new jeep," but it's hard to tell if the jeep is actually new.

Weisz may reprise her role as Brendon Frasier's girlfriend in "The Mummy 3."

She is said to want to keep her six-week old son, Henry Chance, out of show business, and talked about her too-early start:

“Big hair, big pout, really working the camera at just 13,” she remembers, “I certainly wouldn’t let my children do it.”

She looks fabulous and natural in these latest candids, and seems to be a hands-on mom. Also shown is her husband, director Darren Aronofsky. [via]

What's more real: Suri or the Loch Ness Monster?

People are comparing Suri to Bigfoot, so I thought I'd change it to the Loch Ness Monster to be original. Like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster, there are "eyewitness" accounts, but no verifiable photographs of the Scientology savior, Suri Cruise. Something's wrong with the baby or it simply does not exist. Katie may have had it earlier than "expected" or she may have suffered an unfortunate miscarriage that hasn't been acknowledged. Regardless there is something off about this story that needs to be exposed by the mainstream gossip press.

All sane celebrity friends of Tom and Katie have yet to see the baby, except for Leah Remini, a devout Scientologist who now claims to have seen the infant:

Entertainment Tonight reports that the actress said in an interview in the upcoming issue of Us Weekly that she visited the baby several weeks ago.

"She's a newborn and normal size!" Remini said.

Like Tom Cruise, Remini is a member of the Church of Scientology.

Even though they had a very public courtship, Cruise and Holmes have not presented their baby in public and so far haven't inked a deal with a magazine for exclusive photos of the baby.

Conspiracy theories abound in the tabloid press and on blogs about why baby Suri hasn't been seen. Some even speculate that the baby doesn't exist at all, while others point out that Tom Cruise also kept his two adopted children, Isabella, 13, and Connor, 11, out of the public eye when they were little.

As for Suri, a family friend described the baby as "a cross between the two – [with] dark, straight hair and dark eyes."

Yeah, so we'll take your word for it, Leah Remini, even though Suri or a bundle resembling an infant has never been photographed despite hoards of paparrazi trailing the Holmes-Cruise family for the past three months. The infant also hasn't been seen by non-Scientology celebrities since it was said to be born three months ago, and the "birth certificate" is suspect.

There's a far-away blurry picture of Katie Holmes holding a tow-headed baby, but that's probably a fake. There's also a far-away picture of what looks like a baby carriage, but it could be a prop or something else entirely.

None of Katie's family has seen the baby according to reports, but Katie was said to have visited them in Ohio at the end of May - and to have brought Suri with her! WTF is going on?!

Katie was spotted back in LA visiting her favorite overpriced store, Barneys. As one commentor on x17 points out, she didn't buy any baby items. I always get something for my son when I'm shopping.

The bloggers always uncover stories before the mainstream press does, and this is no exception. It's not as important as a lack of WMD in Iraq, but it's just as obvious.

Britney continues to use bodyguards as mannies; likes tigers

Britney Spears was spotted with yet another bodyguard taking over manny duty. This unknown guard bears a striking resemblance to a bloated Ben Affleck and was pushing the Graco stroller while Britney chatted on the phone. She looked relatively cleaned up and presentable for an average day out.

Meanwhile Kevin Federline was seen toting a trendy piece of exercise equipment, the BOLA trainer, which some suggest is a rude ass hint to Britney. They have those things at my gym and I think you're supposed to balance on them and train your abs, but I have no idea since I generally avoid exercise equipment that makes me look foolish. (I have a theory that trainers capitalize on this and make people do dumb shit they would be too embarassed or confused to do on their own.)

Kevin will be "rapping" at the Teen choice awards on August 20th. It will be surprising if he performs "Papazoa," since he said recently that the entire song was a joke meant to set peoples' expectations for his talent low.

Britney has posted a new "stream of consciousness" poem-thing on her website in praise of tigers - yes tigers. She expounds on the wild beasts in a segment that's reminiscent of an elementary school essay:

In some ways, people are a lot like animals. We all hunger for the same things. Love, lust, danger, warmth and adventure. Like people, animals all have their own rythm to life. I'm mesmirized [sic] by tigers. Their eyes, their stripes, their constant quest of [sic] survival. They almost have a sense of mysteriousness about them. They pull you in and make it difficult to look away. They make you wonder what is behind their gaze. A sense of eerie awe comes over you in their presence. The fear they give you when you pass them is stunning. Behold the beauty of the tiger.

I'm mesmirized by Britney's excellent prose. I would wonder why one of her handlers didn't edit this or advise her against posting it, but she went on national television in short shorts with hair looking like a rat's nest, so this little poem is a minor indiscretion.

Here is Britney and Ben Affleck, I mean her bodyguard/manny that's not Perry:

Katie Holmes denies second pregnancy

A "neighbor" of Katie Holmes was quoted speculating that she's pregnant again, but we highly doubt it. It would be difficult to get visibly pregnant so soon after the supposed birth of her last child.

Media and fans have been kept on their toes ever since the former 'Dawson's Creek' actress gave birth to Suri in April, as she has rarely been seen in public since then. Experts suspect the star has been hiding away because she is with child once again, and her neighbor seems to agree.

Katie's neighbor revealed to US Weekly, "I heard from a lot of people that Katie is pregnant."

But while the soon-to-be-married star was visiting Cruise's Holiday home on Monday in Telluride, Colorado, she wasted no time slamming the rumors.

Holmes insisted to US Weekly, "I am not pregnant again."

Meanwhile, Katie enjoyed a portion of her stay in Colorado with one of her girlfriends, where they drank coffee and 'window shopped'.

But of course the new mom was without her baby girl once again, which has proven discouraging to her fans.

Holmes then told a horde of onlookers, "Suri's doing great! She's back at the house."

About a month ago, some random person claimed to have seen a baby-like bundle from afar that might have been Suri. Now that Tom and Katie are in Telluride, Colorado, a store clerk says that they've actually seen Suri and she's "funny looking." If Suri were out in public, why aren't there paparrazi photos of it? Isn't Telluride a haven for the rich and famous? There must be photographers there.

A few eyewitness claim they even had a glimpse of mysterious Suri, as Katie Holmes engaged in an invigorating trek in the woods.

A waitress gushed, "She exists! I saw her thick black hair."

The magazine quotes locals as saying Suri has "small hands" and is "funny-looking."

A large percentage of people have camera phones and I know I carry a digital camera around with me all the time. Why aren't there any pictures of Suri if "eyewitnesses" actually saw her. The first picture of Violet Affleck was a blurry cameraphone photo that everyone posted right away. This is bullshit - no one saw that baby. Read TMZ's conspiracy timeline - it's rather convincing.

There's a tell-all book about Tom Cruise coming out by Princess Diana's biographer, Andrew Morton. He's done a lot of research, but there's no word as to when it will be published. You know it will contain a bunch of shocking revelations about the pint-sized cult spokesperson.

Meanwhile Tom and Katie also had a bag of groceries and a bunch of cherry soda delivered by private jet from Hollywood to Telluride. Their consumables travel better than I do.

Here is Tom Cruise presenting Steven Spielberg with the Golden Hugo award at the Chicago Film Festival this Saturday. [via] They supposedly had a falling out after Cruise talked too much Scientology crap during promotion for "War of the Worlds," and it's clearly important to Tom that he put those rumors to rest. He doesn't seem to care that people think his baby is fake, though.

Is Jennifer Garner pregnant again?

X17 online points out that Jennifer Garner's got a bump on the set of her latest movie, thriller "The Kingdom." It just looks like an unflattering shirt tucked in where it shouldn't be, but you can never be sure. We were all over that "Nicole Kidman's pregnant - now she isn't" story, and we'll continue to report the bump watch celebrities. We're sure to be right once in a while.

Garner has a seven month-old daughter, Violet, with husband Ben Affleck. She may just be having trouble losing the baby weight, although she still looks great. It was reported a few months ago that she was planning on getting naked in her new film, "Sabbatical." I wonder if that's true and when it will start filming.

The pictures of Jen on set were supposedly taken on June 30th, and from Jen-Fans.com and are medium resolution. The candids of Jen in a white top are from X17online.com and are low resolution.

Nicole Kidman: maybe not pregnant

No wonder these poor celebrities work their asses off at the gym and plastic surgeon's office. A little bloat and the Internets and celebrity glossies declare they're pregnant. Poor Nicole lost her imaginary baby bump in a miscarriage of gossip this week. She was photographed outside her gym with a perfectly flat tummy poking out of her top.

Nicole Kidman joined her new husband, country singer Keith Urban, on the opening night of his North American tour in Ontario, Canada. Kidman did not join her husband on stage, but he made a reference to her, dedicating his song "Making Memories of Us," to "my lovely bride." He also told concert-goers that he was "happy to join the married crowd".

Security at the concert was beefed up after a local radio station said they would pay $75,000 for a picture of the famous newlyweds kissing.

Here is Nicole Kidman with her skinny stomach. [via]

Was Suri damaged by too many powerful sonograms?

My two-year old son has very weak front teeth with some visible plaque and chipping. It's not decay and he rarely drinks juice or eats sugary food. My husband and I consulted dentists in Germany and the US and they both said that his teeth never calcified properly while he was in utero and that it was most likely the result of something that happened in the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy when the buds were forming, probably an illness I had.

When I was five months' pregnant I rushed over to a 3D ultrasound place to learn my baby's sex a couple of weeks before my OBGyn was able to schedule the regular sonogram. We got a little DVD set to music and phenomenal pictures in which you can really see his features. My husband says there's nothing to feel guilty about but I keep wondering if that powerful sonogram damaged my son's budding teeth, and I would never have one again. That's the only thing I can remember happening during that time of my pregnancy.

Thanks for reading my rambling story, but the moral is that ultrasounds can damage tiny fetuses in unpredictable ways, and there's almost no way to tell if a birth defect or small change in a baby is due to an ultrasound. Doctors say they're safe, but are cautious to recommend that they're used sparingly. I've been thinking about the mystery of Suri, and remembered how Tom bought an ultrasound machine and was talking about how much he loved checking out his unborn child. People really criticized him for it at the time:

An ultrasound machine works by sending vibrations into the body and then waiting for them to bounce back. The machine can use information from the echoes to produce a moving image of a fetus. But not all of the energy that goes into the body comes back out—some gets absorbed in the tissues. This can cause cells to heat up, or it can make trapped gas bubble up. Studies of ultrasound in lab animals have shown that heat and bubble formation (or "cavitation") can damage internal organs.

Few studies of ultrasound have been conducted on the human fetus (for ethical and logistical reasons), and there's no smoking gun to suggest that the machines are causing harm. We've known for a long time that ultrasound heats up human tissue—that's the rationale for its application in physical therapy. Several experiments conducted overseas have shown an increase in left-handedness (or at least a reduction in right-handedness) among those exposed to prenatal ultrasound, which suggests that the test could have neurological effects...

Is Tom Cruise putting his baby—or his fiancee—at risk? It depends on what kind of machine he's using, and whether he's got a trained sonographer to help him out. He may have a machine that doesn't have the more dangerous high-power settings.

The article goes on to say that cumulative sonograms aren't necessarily more damaging than individual sonograms.

There are studies showing ultrasounds are relatively safe, and that there is no connection between prenatal ultrasounds and birth defects. These studies are using old technology, though, and Tom undoubtedly had a 3D ultrasound for Katie's pregnancy:

In addition, [Kjell Salvesen of the University of Trondheim, Norway] notes that the ultrasound machines used in his study [published in The Lancet, showing ultrasounds are not damaging] are now becoming obsolete, with many hospitals relying on higher-energy devices that produce sharper images. "The technology is rapidly developing, and these safety studies will always come 10 years after the devices have been taken into general use," he says.

No one can say with certainty that the higher-energy ultrasonic devices cannot harm a fetus, says Vorhees. Heat isn't the only way in which ultrasound might theoretically damage tissues, he adds. Sound waves may cause microscopic bubbles in body fluids to oscillate and sometimes collapse, Vorhees says. Scientists don't know whether such problems can injure the fetus.

The scientific uncertainty over ultrasound led the Food and Drug Administration to advise against sonograms during pregnancy unless there is a problem such as bleeding, a family history of birth defects, or some other medical reason for the procedure, including advanced maternal age. FDA specifically warns against using ultrasound "frivolously" -- simply to watch the baby float in the womb or to learn the baby's sex.

Now that Suri hasn't emerged, and her "birth certificate" is highly suspect, one wonders just exactly what is going on. She may not exist, she may be under Scientology house arrest, or she may have a disorder or delay of unknown origin. You know that Cruise got one of those 3D machines because he's rich as anything and wouldn't just buy a regular old model. I really suspect that my son's teeth were damaged by one and wonder if little Suri suffered any ill effects from Tom's crazy curiosity.

Katie Holmes is quoted in the upcoming Us Weekly saying that "Suri's doing great!" but some quote from Katie or her publicist isn't reassuring at this point.

The Toronto Fashion Monitor says that little Suri could be being raised under strict Scientolgy "no noise" conditions, in which little children are shielded from noise coupled with bad experiences because it can create a bad memory they call an "engram."

Scientologists don't believe in comforting hurt little children, either. They think that if they stumble and hit their head on a rock, for instance, they should be made to lay their head back on the rock so that the bad energy and pain will flow back into it.

Even if "Suri" or a baby facsimile emerges at this point, I'm never going to believe that she's the product of Katie and Tom. Something highly suspect is going on, although I hope I'm not right that the baby does exist and is suffering from a defect or illness.

Nicole Kidman: the bump is back!

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban drove their Bentley to Target near Nashville to pick up some sort of cleaning device. Keith went casual in a t-shirt and cargo pants while Nicole looked fresh and lovely in a white sundress and sandals. People thought that the pregnancy rumors could be put to rest when a far-away picture of Nicole in a bikini on her honeymoon came out. Her stomach looked toned and muscular, but if you squint hard enough you can still see a bump. Now she seems even more pregnant in this flowy dress. The wind could just be blowing her dress out, but it looks like she's pregnant to me.

The Sun quotes a "source" as saying that Nicole has a bump, but their source is probably someone looking at the pictures just like us:

Rumours that newlywed Nicole Kidman is expecting her first biological child gathered strength after she was spotted with a little bump.

A source said that Kidman, who was out walking with her new hubby country singer Keith Urban near their home in Nashville when her bump was spotted, said that the couple did look as if they had some happy news to share with the world.

"It does look like they might have some good news to announce. Nicole looked stunning and definitely had a bump," The Sun quoted the onlooker, as saying.

Reader Millie says Nicole and Keith go to the gym a lot, but that doesn't mean that Nicole isn't pregnant. We'll keep saying it as we wait for Nicole to really show. She's supposedly had two miscarriages, so if she's really pregnant she'll wait to announce it until she's much further along.

NO ONE has seen Suri Cruise

This baby just does not exist or something is wrong with it. People claim that Cruise is holding Suri back because of his wacko cult religion, Scientology, or because he didn't get enough cash for the photos, but there hasn't even been a bundle photographed. Now his celebrity friends claim to have never seen the mystery spawn, either:

BABY Suri Cruise isn't just playing hide-and-seek with the public. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show off their spawn to fellow Scientologists John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Lisa Marie Presley. Even good pals Will and Jada Pinkett Smith supposedly have not met the newborn despite repeated calls to Cruise, reports Us Weekly. "Every time, it's a different excuse: He's busy or Kate's not feeling well," said a source. "[The Smiths] think it's so weird."

Even if they wanted to shield the baby from the negative influence of the media or whatever, we still would have seen Katie or a nanny/Scientology handler out walking with a stroller or holding a covered bundle.

Katie even went to her parent's house in Ohio at the end of May, and there were no photographs of the supposed baby.

All we have to vouch for Suri's existence is a report from an "eyewitness" who saw a bundle from very far away.

Readers of Celebrity Baby Blog came up with several plausible theories to explain the Suri mystery:

that the pregnancy was faked and Suri was adopted

that Katie was pregnant before she and Tom hooked up, and that she gave birth earlier and the latter part of the pregnancy was faked

that though she conceived while with Tom, he is not the genetic father and Suri looks nothing like him

that Suri has some kind of unattractive physical attribute that Tom and/or Katie do not want made public

that Tom has paid off the paparazzi not to take her photo

that Suri has not yet been outside of Tom's estate (the most likely reason in my opinion), with some people thinking that Child Protective Services should be called (!!!)

WTF is going on? They better procure a baby that sort of looks like them fast, because this is turning into one of the biggest Hollywood scandals ever.

Avril Lavigne to get married this weekend?

Avril Lavigne must have had a tame bachelorette party because her fiance, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, attended too. They celebrated on June 30th in LA:

AVRIL LAVIGNE celebrated her last days of being single by inviting her fiance, SUM 41 singer DERYCK WHIBLEY, to join her for her bachelorette bash on 30 June (06). The 21-year-old COMPLICATED singer received two sets of black 2Belles panties embroidered with 'The Mrs' in hot pink, plus a posh bra, panty and camisole set from lingerie company Cherish. According to an eyewitness, "She was excited, but a little embarrassed." After opening her presents, Lavigne donned a veil with devil horns and the couple and 20 pals dined at hip Los Angeles restaurant Koi. The group then moved on to celebrity nightclub Lobby where they partied alongside JESSICA ALBA and NICKY HILTON. The couple have yet to announce their official wedding date.

Speculation is rampant that Lavigne and Whibley will marry this weekend, with reports that they have already notified friends and family:

Etalk reports that a California ceremony is imminent for the punk princess and the Sum 41 front man.

Friends and family of the pair were reportedly notified days ago of the plan and told to book their tickets immediately for Santa Barbara, where the Canadian rockers have a house together.

Earlier reports had suggested the wedding would take place Aug. 26, but media scrutiny apparently spurred the couple to move up the date.

This could definitely be true, because Lavigne was said to want a summer wedding, and to be planning for children right away.

It is uncertain whether Lavigne is already pregnant. We spotted a bump on the slender singer in several recent pictures, but in these photos from the end of June it doesn't seem to have grown enough to substantiate pregnancy rumors.

Here is Avril at her bachelorette party outside of Koi and at Hyde nightclub on 6/25. Pictures from Hollywood's Best and originally from Alavigne.com.br.

Britney says "My pictures were stolen too! Really!"

Britney Spears claims the glowing happy pictures that came out in US Weekly of her posing with Kevin were, like, totally stolen. She's said to be "evaluating legal options" against the magazine. You know that Britney released the photos herself after her "Dateline" debacle, and is just saying that to make it seem like they're really stolen:

Britney Spears has said she is "outraged and saddened" after holiday photos of her family were published in a US magazine.

Her record label Jive said the photos were stolen and that Spears and husband Kevin Federline were "evaluating all of their legal options".

The statement said the photos were stolen by "an unknown perpetrator" and printed by Us Weekly magazine without the couple's "knowledge or consent".

We seriously doubt this is true because the pictures are all cute and seem to come at a time when she needs good publicity and wants to make it seem as if everything is fine in her marriage. It's also seems like too much of a coincidence when compared with the recently leaked Brangelina baby shower pics.

Reader Missy notes that Britney and Kevin may look happy and privileged in these pictures taken on a private jet, but that Kevin is suspiciously hiding his ring finger. Someone must have "forgotten" to wear their wedding ring.

If Naomi Watts is pregnant she's not very far along

Naomi Watts, 37, is now on pregnancy watch, and it's largely due to the loose tops and ill-fitting dresses she's worn out to recent events. She's been on pregnancy watch since wearing two different frilly dresses with tummy coverage to the Oscars. We were even declaring her pregnant after she wore a poncho to the Tribeca film festival in late April.

Then we saw some high-res photos of Naomi in a sheer, but loose top in mid-May. You could see her stomach through it and it was flat.

Watts may just be wearing loose tops because they're in style. Reese Witherspoon was called pregnant after she was seen in some loose clothing and it turns out that wasn't true at all.

Watts has made some comments that she'd like to start a family, though, and Australian reports have her pregnant already:

King Kong star Naomi Watts is expecting her first baby, according to media reports in Australia.

The actress was in Sydney, Australia, last weekend attending best pal Nicole Kidman's wedding to country star Keith Urban.

Rumours circulated after the stylish star was seen wearing a series of baggy garments and photographed leaving a Brentwood, California, fertility clinic.

Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper reports it was the second time Watts had been spotted visiting the clinic and that she was "sporting a definite glow" when she attended the Shakespeare in the Park gala in New York City's Central Park with beau Liev Schreiber on Thursday.

Watts was also seen visiting Chinese herbalist and fertility expert Lily Liu in Australia, who is renowned for her work assisting women who want to become pregnant.

The star recently admitted she was desperate for children, but was worried it might be too late to conceive: "I wish it could have happened a little bit sooner. I have wanted a family since I was 19."

If she is pregnant it's very soon along. She was photographed playing tennis on June 18th. Her top was pulling up and she did not have a stomach, although it's a little hard to tell. She was seen at the MacBeth In The Park 2006 Summer Benefit on June 28th in an empire-waist dress, which surely helped feed the rumors.

We really doubt it's true, although we hope it happens soon for her and Liev if they are indeed trying.

Here is Naomi in the photos we mentioned. She is seen with her boyfriend of over a year, actor Liev Schreiber, 38, and with Jessica Lang. Reader Millie let me know that Lang was not gracious about the latest remake of "King Kong" after having starred in the other remake from 1976. She said she wouldn't be seeing Peter Jackson's version of "King Kong" and considered it too commercial.

Save Perry!

Britney Spears' gorgeous bodyguard and sometimes manny, 28 year-old Naval Academy graduate Perry Taylor, has been removed from his close position with the troubled pop star and is now working security detail on a daily as-needed basis. He was helpful, attractive, and friendly, and K-Fed is said to have asked Britney to fire him after he heard about how Perry was changing Sean Preston's diapers and serving as Britney's unofficial nanny:

Perry Taylor, who was originally hired to be one of Brit's bodyguards, was relieved of his duties as Sean Preston's nanny but will stay on in security detail. "Kevin didn't think it was proper to use him as a nanny," says a pal. "He wasn't jealous. He just think it's a job for a real trained nanny."

(From In Touch print edition, 7/10/06)

Obviously K-Fed is still feeding his friends quotes to give to the rags, because the source was careful to say that he wasn't jealous or anything. Oh of course not. We've never seen Kevin wearing a Baby Bjorn, but Perry donned the baby carrier with pride and a cute button smile.

People were unsure about Perry's identity at first, initially confusing him with Britney's record producer, J.R. Rotem, with whom he bears a resemblance. Perry's identity soon came out, though, and he became an Internet and press phenomenon.

Perry was touted as the reason behind Britney's cleaned-up appearance in the absence of K-Fed, and people speculated that she was having an affair. Perry's mom put those rumors to rest by telling the press that her son had a hot live-in girlfriend.

Everyone from the NY Times to U.S. News and World report discussed the merits of male nannys, or the "manny." We couldn't get enough of Perry.

Then, last week, Britney was seen out alone and with new jet-black hair after her "Dateline" debacle. It seemed the rumors of Kevin's dissatisfaction with being upstaged by the help were true, and that Britney had obeyed her do-nothing husband and got rid of the best thing that happened to her since the birth of her baby.

We haven't seen the last of Perry Taylor, though. We hope that Angelina is watching this young guy's rise to fame, and will hire him to soften up the image of her security force while lending an extra set of hands to care for Shiloh and Zahara.

Thanks to Kylie on MySpace for reminding me about Perry.

Here are pictures of helpful Perry during his employment with Britney. He's been seen buying flowers for Britney, and he even holds the car door open for her.

Courteney Cox nipple slip

Coco Cox pulled her mom's top down while they were swimming. Courtney seems to think it's funny, and these pictures are pretty cute. My husband appreciated them too.

Jennifer Aniston sent Courteney Cox a bizarre present for her 42nd birthday on June 15th - a transexual performer that looked like her character Rachel Green from "Friends":

According to WENN since Aniston missed Cox's 42nd birthday celebrations Thursday to promote her new film, "The Break-Up," in the UK she was desperate to show the actress she hadn't forgotten the special date.

So - as described above Aniston thought up a gift to surprise Cox Arquette on her big day.

Aniston reportedly said, "I made it up to her by sending a tranny impersonator of Rachel. He can cheer anyone up."

Too bad there aren't any pictures of the tranny with Courteney. That would have been much better than Tori Spelling and her tranny inpersonator.

Courteney has a great beach body and hasn't succumbed to the super-thin look of some celebrity mothers. There's a picture of her power walking with weights in the latest Us Weekly.

Christina Aguilera won't even look at interviewers

Christina Aguilera is such a diva. Not only does she arrive hours late for most every scheduled interview, she also refuses to look interviewers in the eye. She insists that the room is darkly lit and sits facing the other way while she answers questions:

Christina Aguilera has always had a diva attitude - arriving hours late for everything, big demands, feuds with everyone from Mariah to Kelly Osbourne.

Now with the release of her new album she's learned a new trick. During promo interviews she's refused to look at any journalist. Instead, the diva insists that the interview, for which she's usually two to four hours late, takes place in a dimly lit room, where she sits and stares in the other direction completely to the journalists while they ask, and she answers, questions.

(From the popbitch e-mail newsletter)

If this is true it's ridiculous and Aguilera deserves a serious career slump for being so arrogant. Maybe she'll learn when she's older that she's no better than anyone else and that you have to be kind to people - especially the press - if you want a good reputation.

Maybe kids will soften Aguilera's outlook - although she predictably doesn't seem to want any because they would interfere with the amount of time she has available to apply makeup. She's vague on the issue of children and gives a diplomatic answer to make it seem like not completely uninterested in them:

"Maybe after the next couple of years we'll start venturing into the mindframe of starting our family." she told In Touch... "I do have goals and a set game plan for myself."

(From In Touch print edition.)

Notice that she doesn't say she'll start thinking of having a family, she gives an answer that's even more removed from that - "we'll start venturing into the mindframe of starting" a family. That means no way does she want kids at this point.

She has also called her new album "Back to Basics" her "child" and that it's like having twins:

She said: "Everyone’s asking when I’m going to have children. I just tell them my new album, ‘Back To Basics’, is my child. I’m having twins! It’s so exciting."

It is not the first time Christina has compared her new record to having a baby.

Earlier this year, the pop beauty said making her new album was the same as being pregnant - twice.

WTF would she know about having kids or being pregnant? That's so fucking snotty. Once Aguilera realizes she wants kids - when she's over 35 and her clock is ticking - she won't be able to get pregnant because she couldn't be bothered when she was fertile.

Here she is leaving her New York City hotel on 6/22 [via] and outside of MTV's Total Request Live on 6/21.

About Kevin's "Last Chance"

Yesterday I mentioned the US Weekly article about Britney's consultation with her christian life coach, and how she has taken Kevin back. The article makes it seem as if it's this glorious reunion and that everything will be fine in their troubled relationship after the vacation photo op they took. This is in complete contrast to other reports we read that had Britney and Kevin sleeping in separate hotel rooms and avoiding each other on that same trip.

The the roller-coaster ride that has characterized Spears' turbulent 21-month marriage, the Federlines are - for now - attempting to stay together. "Things are good, and they are trying again," says a close family source. "It is always up and down, but they are happy to be in an up moment." Indeed, though the trip was originally intended as a promotional jaunt for aspiring rapper Federline, a source tells Us the six-months-pregnant pop star joined her husband at the last minute. "She has decided to start supporting him," explains the source. "They are giving things another shot."

According to the source, the fresh start stems from a four-hour conversation encouraged by Spears' newly aquired Christian life coach, which took place shortly before the Lauer interview (taped June 9.) One hot topic: the sharing and selling of personal details about the couple to tabloid reporters by Federline's intimates. "Kevin acknowledged that he blabbed info to his friends, claiming it was harmless and he had no idea they would talk," says the source. "He promised never to do it again."

(From US Weekly's print version)

Kevin also promised to spend four to five hours each day with Sean Preston to give Britney a break. Now that Perry's gone he better take up some of the slack.

This glowing report of their renewed love must be one Kevin's peeps giving good news to the rags for once after Britney told Kevin to stop feeding his friends stories to sell to the press. There's no way everything is fine in their relationship or that their misguided love with conquer all.

Britney may dress trashy, but she lives in more style then the majority of the planet will experience in its lifetime. It's kind of incongruous to see Britney in a tie-dye and Kevin in camo pants in a private jet, and it reminds us how privileged these people are, and why we make fun of them in the first place. These pictures are from Breatheheavy.com, and are said to be "stolen from Britney's private album" by Us Weekly.

Brad and Angelina fighting over alone time and Brad's smoking

The lead story in The National Enquirer has Brad and Angelina fighting over the fact that Brad doesn't get any alone time with the gorgeous mother of new baby and two adopted kids. Brad supposedly wanted to have a private lunch with Angelina, but she deferred in favor of watching the kids. She certainly has enough kids to take care of:

Brad Pitt stormed out on ANgelina Jolie - after tensions over their new baby exploded into a furious confrontation, say sources. Angelina broke down in tears, and insiders fear that adjusting to life with an infant is wrecking their relationship and will ultimately drive them apart.

Hands-on mom Angelina is completely consumed with baby Shiloh Nouvel and her two other young children, and that has changed the nature of her day-to-day relationship with Brad.

Tension between the new parents exploded recently over frustration about not being able to spend time alone.

Brad was hoping for a romantic lunch with Angelina but their schedules didn't allow it and the situation quickly turned into a fight.

"Even though they have nannies, Angelina is focused full time on the kids," said a source. "If one of them cries at 3 a.m., she's by their side. Angie is operating on very minimal sleep and it's magnified by the couple's issues.

Lack of alone time has caused the couple to fight bitterly and when Brad realized he couldn't have Angelina to himself he blew up.

"He ralied at Angelina, but she was busy tending to Shiloh.

"Brad stormed out - going on a long motorcycle trip for the rest of the day to blow off steam. And Angelina collapsed in tears.

"She's been dealing with so much - the new baby, a sick mother, a relocation to Malibu - that she just lost it."

(From The National Enquirer print version.)

The article then rehashes Angelina's fight with Brad when he went out in London one night when she was sick. A "family friend" also claims that Angelina is having trouble breastfeeding little Shiloh, and that she feels guilty that she may have to supplement with formula. She is also said to feel guilt over the fact that she wasn't able to have a natural birth.

Plus Brad is still smoking, and Angelina may be "fed up" with his nasty habit.

This all sounds like normal stuff that happens with a growing family, and The Enquirer seems to be making more out of it than warranted.

Who knows how bad their fight was? Maybe Brad just wanted to get out of the house and didn't storm out after all.

He did go out on his bike, though, because there were pictures all over the place. It's easy enough to draw conclusions based on that.

They were said to be having trouble back in Paris in the loud and dirty neighborhood they rented an apartment in, and Brad was supposedly sleeping on the couch because pregnant Angelina needed the space in bed to herself.

If all of this is true, it seems pretty normal considering all the stress they must be under with the new baby and the move. Even with a lot of help, it's still a lot of work.

Britney on the cover of Harper's Bazaar

Britney was set to do a pregnant semi-nude Harper's Bazaar spread just like Demi Moore, but she pulled it. Someone sent the airbrushed pictures to BritneySpy.com, and now they're all over. Why did Britney pull the pictures? She probably was advised against it by her "christian life coach," who is also said to be behind Britney and Kevin's recent reconciliation.

Now that I'm in the states I have the mixed blessing of being able to read the tabloids, and will report on Us Weekly's glowing coverage of Kevin and Britney's reunion shortly.

In the mean time, here are Britney's Harper's Bazaar photos. They're trashy, but that's just how she comes off anyway. Add a shag rug and pose her nude and you just magnify that quality. Also, Sean Preston is cute and all, but doesn't he have any other expression? He always seems to look the same. Maybe that's how he copes.

Thanks to Just Jared for these photos.

Pictures of Brad Pitt's Hollywood Home

Brad Pitt's reveals that he's an adoring father in an upcoming Newsweek interview. He also makes it clear that he and Angelina plan to adopt again:

Brad Pitt says fatherhood is "absolutely sublime". The actor, whose baby daughter with Angelina Jolie is a month old, has also co-adopted her first two children, Cambodian Maddox and little Zahara, from Ethiopia.

He told Newsweek magazine being a father had made him more of an activist on issues such as child poverty.

"Whether you have them or adopt them, they're all blood," Pitt said of his brood. "And the funniest people I've ever met."

The 42-year-old added: "I look at Zahara and imagine what her life could have been.

"You want to grab as many of these kids in your arms as you can.
"They need our help, and we should be doing more."

He sounds a lot like Angelina, and he should credit her with his activism, but at least she was a good influence on him. He would be probably be bitching about the rabbits in his front yard if he was still with Aniston.

Here are pictures of Pitt's lovely modernist home from the July, 2006 issue of Elle Decoration courtesy of Just Jared. His interest in saving the world may be due to Angelina, but his love of architecture is entirely his own, and the man has excellent taste.

Recent candids of Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, and baby Kingston

You may have seen these pictures already, but they're just so cute we couldn't resist publishing them. Here are Gwen Stefan and her husband Gavin Rossdale out with their newborn, Kingston. Stefani and Kingston are seen watching Rossdale play tennis on 6/17 and out walking on 6/24.

Gwen Stefani is going to star in a remake of Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll," which was originally released as a film in 1956:

If you believe what you read, new mom Gwen Stefani is planning to star in another movie, and she may play the lead role in Tennessee Williams 'Baby Doll', according to a published report.

According to Moviehole.net, the movie is about a beautiful young woman who promises her husband, who is an unsuccessful businessman, that their marriage will be consummated a year after their wedding.

The woman's husband, who wants badly to make love to her and launch his business into success, decides to set his enemy's plant on fire.

After his enemy's plant is nothing but ashes leftover from the blazing fire, the enemy has no choice but to use the gorgeous woman's husband's plant for cotton production, but things begin to go all wrong once he's introduced to 'Baby Doll'.

Stefani seems like a good choice to play a vampy retro character, and it's sure to be a juicy role.

Here is the cute family on 6/17 and 6/24.

Are Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. having trouble?

People are saying that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze are living apart and may be ready to divorce. Gellar is currently working on the film "The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing" while Prinze is starring in an ABC series, "Freddie." Prinze's TV work is said to be tearing the couple apart:

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have hit back at reports that Prinze's new TV show "Freddie" is coming between the couple.

The pair have been besieged by reports the show in "tearing them apart" and are on the verge of splitting since Prinze signed up to his new sitcom last year.

A source told the New York Daily News that, "Ever since he started that show Freddie things were over."

It has also been widely reported that they have been living apart in recent weeks.

The couple's representative, Leslie Sloane Zelnick, has vehemently denied the rumors, insisting the couple is still, "completely together."

Zelnick also added that they'll be spending the weekend together at Zelnick's house in Connecticut.

It's rather suspect that their publicist is saying they're coming over to her house at the weekend. That seems like an afterthought, and something she may have come up with while on the phone with the Daily News.

It's unknown whether they're actually having trouble, but Gellar is on baby watch since Cannes. We thought she looked pregnant at the film festival, as she was wearing ill-fitting gowns and held her hand over her stomach on the red carpet.

Reader Millie e-mailed me to say that she's still wearing loose tops on the set of her new film, and that she does look pregnant. Loose outfits are the style now, though, and it may not mean anything. Take a look at these pictures from "A Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing" and see for yourself. [via]

Prinze, 30, and Gellar, 29, have been married since 2002. We'll have to wait and see if their marriage is in trouble and/or if they're having a baby.

Why isn't Sean Preston in his baby seat, 'yall?

X17 loves to point out Britney's foibles, and their latest blog post tries to rile everyone up with a picture of Britney in the back of her Escalade holding Sean Preston. We don't see the car taking off with Sean Preston in Britney's lap, but it's implied.

Britney probably does all sorts of things that put her baby in danger, and maybe she's only caught a fraction of the time. Now that she's got a bad record, though, people are blaming her for things she hasn't even done. What do you think?

Here's what x17 wrote:

We admit that it’s quite possible that Britney slipped Sean Preston into a car seat when our cameras found her at Nobu yesterday, but given her track record and pictures like the one above, how exactly would you interpret things?...

Like we said, we may not have seen everything – but this is what we saw. What do you see here?

Commentors are pretty annoyed that X17 doesn't bother to show Britney put Sean in his carseat, but did she do it? You can see the seat in the back.

Here are some more pictures from the series. You can see clearer unwatermarked versions in our image gallery from yesterday.

Britney to sue 8 tabloids from offshore for maximum results

Britney is planning to sue 8 different tabloids for reporting that her marriage is in trouble, but she's not going to do it from the states, where celebrities are considered public personalities and are fair game by law - she's filed suit in Ireland, where her chances of winning are much higher:

BELFAST is looking to challenge London as the libel capital of the world as some of America’s biggest stars, including the singers Britney Spears and Whitney Houston, prepare to sue through its courts.

Spears is to sue the National Enquirer, based in Florida, for reports that her marriage to Kevin Federline was at an end. She is also suing seven other US and British publications that repeated the claims.

Foreign claimants have long been attracted to London because of the strict libel laws, but Belfast offers the prospect of high payouts, faster justice and lower costs.

Paul Tweed, senior partner at Johnson’s solicitors, who has been instructed by Spears, said he was also being consulted by Houston, Paula Abdul, the singer, and Steve Bing, film producer and father of Liz Hurley’s son Damian...

One law firm, which represents American celebrities suing in London, said: “They come to the UK because it is a good place to sue. In the US there is a public figure defence which means that if you have celebrity status you can’t sue anybody in America unless you can show that they acted from malice.”

Belfast has similar libel laws to England, but waiting lists are shorter and the costs can be 75% lower. Many cases go to juries, which make higher awards. In one Belfast case Barney Eastwood, the boxing promoter, received an award of £450,000, the highest in Irish legal history.

If an American publication does not have assets in Britain, Tweed sues distributors and website hosts. He is currently taking action against Yahoo!

It doesn't seem fair that celebrities can just file suit from England or Ireland in order to get around US libel laws, but major corporations avoid paying taxes by incorporating overseas. Exploiting tax and legal loopholes is just one of the ways that people hold onto their undeserved millions.

Here is Britney with Sean Preston and her mom and sister outside of Nobu. K-Fed was there, too, but is not pictured. There was supposedly a paparrazi fight as photographers jockied for pictures of the pregnant star. TMZ has a video of it, with people saying "back off" and swearing, but it doesn't seem as exciting as they make it out to be. We were hoping for some punches and hair-pulling.

More leaked Brangelina baby shower photos

Thanks to Millie for pointing out the other two pictures leaked from Angelina Jolie's baby shower. [via] People are saying that it's crappy of one of their friends to shop the pictures around, but that it's likely that they're stolen. One commentor on DListed notes that there's a rumor that one of Brad's bodyguards is behind it.

The photo of Angelina and Zahara on the beach is lovely, and it's nice to see Brad and Angelina laughing and looking like they're having a good time.

We'll have to wait and see where these photos turn up and who gets threatened with a lawsuit. It's sure to be big news come Monday.

Angelina Jolie commissioned nude pregnancy portraits

Angelina Jolie posed for a series of portraits chronicalling her pregnancy. She had the artist, Don Bachardy, flown into Namibia and had him sworn to secrecy about the project:

The 'Tomb Raider' actress commissioned US artist Don Bachardy to paint three portraits of her to record the different stages of her pregnancy.

However, the revealing paintings may never been seen by the public because they are likely to remain in Angelina's private collection.

A source said: "Angelina has asked him not to talk about or show the portraits to anyone."

Bachardy - who has also painted Rita Hayworth, Jack Nicholson and Bette Davis - flew to Paris and Namibia to paint the 'Tomb Raider' actress before she gave birth to daughter Shiloh Nouvel last month.

Artist Dan Bachardy is a 72 year-old gay man, and has had his work shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Portrait Gallery in London, and the Smithsonian art museum.

His portraits are stylized views of the subjects and can be revealing but aren't realistic enough to embarass. Bachardy uses heavy strokes, shading and light to make peop look slightly cartoonish. Angelina's pictures are sure to be tasteful and probably don't give away much more of her naked body than we've already seen.

Meanwhile Angelina has brought Shiloh to visit her ailing mother, French actress Marcheline Bertrand, in LA. Bertrand has been under care for cancer, and was not well enough to fly to Namibia to see her grandchild after the birth. (thanks xiaoecho!)

A paparrazo was arrested outside of four year old Maddox's daycare yesterday. The guy was hiding in the bushes trying to get pictures of the tot when a member of Jolie-Pitt's agressive security force nabbed him. He was then arrested and released on $1,000 bail.

Here are some random older Angelina Jolie photoshoots for your viewing pleasure. Thanks to babyface at Hollywood's Best.

High res photos of Britney's new black hair

The trainwreck that is Britney Spears just hit another small child left wandering on the tracks by its bad mother. She went on national primetime television without consulting her publicist, got rid of Perry, the one good thing that's happened to her since she busted a knee and hooked up with K-Fed, and dyed her trademark blonde hair black.

No one was with Britney when she made her typically ignorant and arrogant comments to Matt Lauer on "Dateline." She brushed off her publicists, and didn't have a stylist or makeup artist help her get ready. It was all too evident:

"Neither of her publicists, Leslie Sloane Zelnick or Nanci Ryder, showed up," said our source. Spears insisted on doing her own hair and makeup - a regrettable decision. Web sites derided her hair as a "rat's nest" and, when she started crying during the interview, one of her fake eyelashes fell off. "When [the NBC crew] got there, they thought they had the wrong day . . . During the interview, no one was there to rein things in," we're told.

Spears, when asked about Kevin Federline being with a pregnant Shar Jackson when they first met, shot back, "Julia Roberts' husband had a pregnant wife when he hooked up with Julia, but no one ever talked about that!" Spears wore flip-flops, a see-through tank and micro-mini jeans. Reps tried to control the damage on Friday. "They asked NBC not to release footage to places like E!," said a source. Asked why Spears was on her own for the interview, Sloane Zelnick said, "Britney is a grown-up and makes her own decisions."

Britney probably popped into the local CVS to make her own decision to dye her hair this jet black color. Everyone thought it was a poor wig disguise at first, but now it's clear that this is Britney's own hair. (plus extensions.)

The poor girl must have thought she was trying to escape from the paparrazi "Fugitive" style, but she just managed to make herself a more interesting target.

Readers noted after seeing the pictures of Britney and Sean Preston riding around in a golf cart last week that the tot looked sunburned. Yesterday's photographs show his red little face and head. Britney would say "stuff happens with kids," but it doesn't usually happen if you take a little time for precautions. Britney may make her own decisions, but they affect her child and she needs a lot of help.

Update: Britney is said to have turned down a $3.6 million deal to be the new face of Kleenex in a bid for the tissue company to cash in on her tearful down and out image. The source is some British rag, though, and it sounds like something that is completely fabricated.

Something must be wrong with Suri Cruise

Suri Cruise was born three months ago and there's not even a single picture of the tot covered up. She must have a vitamin D deficiency because considering all the paparrazi that follow Cruise and Holmes around she surely hasn't seen the light of day.

Ted Casablanca of E! Online is saying that Tom and Katie are never going to get married and that the wedding plans are indefinitely on hold.

Defamer has a report from an eyewitness that observed a small baby-like bundle from afar that could have been Suri:

Tom brought the Miracle Baby over to the Amblin compound a couple of Fridays ago to take pictures of the baby with Steven Spielberg. Tom brought two giant black SUVs, a couple of REALLY large bodyguards, Katie, and the baby. I saw it (the M.B.) only from afar, but it looks like a regular baby.

This is the first "eyewitness" report we've had on this baby, and it's less than credible. We will sort of believe that the baby exits when we see it, but too much time has passed and we're going to buy into one of the "conspiracy" theories soon. (It's not a conspiracy if it's true!)

Scientology has brainwashed Tom into thinking any kind of publicity for himself is good, but that his little baby, who would soften public opinion of him if she actually exists and is photographed, should be shielded from public view. They're trying to keep him down and it's working.

Here is Tom at a photocall in Tokyo for Mission Impossible III. Director JJ Abrams, Maggie Q, Tom Cruise, Keri Russell and producer Paula Wagner are also shown.

Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronofsky Baby Photos

Wireimage has these beautiful pictures of Rachel Weisz, Darren Aronofsky and their two-week old mystery baby. Oscar winner Weisz, 35, is engaged to director Aronofsky, whose work includes "Requiem for a Dream." Wireimage didn't even list the baby's name in the captions for these pictures, simply calling him the couple's son, but Rachel-Weisz.net says he's called "Henry Chance," which is quite normal for a celebrity baby.

Weisz must be a dedicated mommy because she didn't even take time out to wash her hair for this photoshoot.

Britney is defensive and dumb in her Dateline interview

The vacation is still on, but we're back posting sooner than expected because it's just not work to us to talk trash about celebrities.

In Britney's Dateline Interview she comes off defensive, rude, and dumb. She's even chewing gum, just like when she was announcing her pregnancy on Letterman! At one point she breaks down and cries when Lauer asks her "what do you think it will take to get the paparrazi to leave you alone?" While I feel sorry for her and don't blame her for crying, she didn't handle the first part of the questioning well at all.

She says of the incident where Child Protective Services visited her for Sean Perston's high chair fall that "they didn't have to come, the doctor there made them come because I didn't bring my doctor there with me." The doctor there made them come because her child was injured and they're required by law to contact Children and Family Services. That's idiotic to suggest the reason was because she didn't bring another doctor. She seems not to understand that is how CPS works.

When asked by Lauer if she tripped on her pants during the near baby-drop fiasco, she says, "I think, uh, actually, I didn't trip on anything, there was, a NY street, it was cobblestone... I think it was mixture of so many paparrazi and just how the road was all messed up, me just trying to get in the car." The road was perfecly flat and paved and not cobblestone at all. I live in Europe where there are real cobblestone streets and people manage to walk around holding all sorts of shit without stumbling and falling.

No fucking mention of the highball glass she was carrying at the time, and no admission of even partial guilt or regret for the incident. She blows it off, saying "accidents happen" and using the ridiculous example of her brother's multiple motorcycle accident at age 13 as a comparison. "Stuff happens with kids," she explains. Britney, you fucking idiot, you have total responsibility for your baby's safety and he's not the same as an adolescent boy.

She says she was crying afterwards because people were trying to take her picture, not because she almost hurt Sean. She also cals a woman ignorant for trying to take her picture at the time. "Ignorant" is not an adjective Britney should introduce into a conversation.

"There will be plenty more oopses, I'm human." Yes you are, and you're richer than 99.99% of the world. You can fucking hire someone to help you talk to the press and act like you actually take responsibility for your actions and care about your infant son.

"You have to realize that we're people, and we need privacy, and we need respect. Those are just things that you have to have as a human." This is your job, Britney, figure it out. The paparrazi are terrible and all but you need to find a better way to cope.

She does seem to love Sean even though she won't admit to any guilt or responsibility for his frequent safety mishaps.

Later in the interview she's in her element when talking about her music and her work, and she explains her brief involvement with the Kabbalah cult well. She has a new clothing line for children coming out, called "Baby Soul Rock and Roll," and she seems quite excited and happy about it.

While things seem to be looking up for her, she needs professional media coaching and she should never have done this interview.

Here is the relevant part of the interview:

Britney is not going to Namibia to give birth

A satirical site called Postcards from the Pug Bus carried a pretty funny and mildly convincing article that proported that Britney told Matt Lauer in her upcoming interview that she's going to give birth in Namibia just like Angelina. Postcards from the Pug Bus is like The Onion and makes up funny shit that kind of sounds true.

The article was picked up and run as a real story by China Daily, Playfuls, and even Toronto's Fashion Monitor! It was then covered in I'm not Obsessed, The Dark Hat, and Best Week Ever Blog. I'm not Obsessed ran it with the title "This cannot be true," and Best Week Ever could have known it was fake since they've run other stories from Pug Bus. (Thanks to WeSmirch for making this "research" extra easy.)

Britney would make a dumb-ass decision like that, and with yesterday's news that she changed her baby on the floor of a Victoria's Secret, it's easy to believe.

The first half of the Pug Bus article contains real details about the interview that are already known. The quotes that follow about Namibia give away the fact that this is made up:

Mr. Lauer did ask Ms. Spears why she had chosen Namibia for the birth of her child. "Kevin has always been a fan of African-American culture," she replied. "I'm sure he'll feel at home there, rapping with all the natives. Besides, there's lots of quiet unpaved roads where Sean Preston and I can go driving."

Ms. Spears also said that Namibia reminds her of California "because it's on the ocean and there's lots of sand. So if Sean Preston fell off his swing and landed on his head, there's less chance he would be hurt and we'd have those snoops from child welfare up our butts all the time."

Finally, said Ms. Spears, "I heard that Namibia has laws that let celebrities say whether or not journalists are allowed in the country. That's so important, even more important than getting the same villa that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had."

The China Daily and Playfuls articles contained all these improbable quotes, but the Fashion Monitor runs it without any quotes, making it seem like pure delicious fact.

There's a new video of pregnant Britney at the beach that you can access at BreatheHeavy.com, where we also snagged the header image.

Namibia kisses Brangelina's ass; Jen to confront Angelina?

The president of Namibia has supposedly written a personal letter of gratitude to Angelina Jolie to thank her for doing more for the African nation by choosing to pop out her baby there than his tourism budget for the next century:

President Sam Nujoma is so grateful for the way the actress and her partner Brad Pitt turned the eyes of the world towards his country, he has sent them a personal note, according to American magazine In Touch.

President Nujoma writes: "For the first time ever, our entire nation can agree on something - how wonderful it is that you chose Namibia for your special day.

"You didn't just birth a child but a new era for our new country. If we are the UN's baby, then you, as one of its greatest supporters, are among its founding mothers.

"Never forget, you and your family will always have a home here."

The President is among those attempting to push a Namibian new national day - to mark baby Shiloh's May birth.

If it's true that Namibia is going to declare Shiloh's birthday a national holiday that just seems like overkill after this over-the-top letter. Angelina is a "founding mother" of Namibia indeed. Do you think someone made this shit up? It sounds too good to be true. Of course Namibia is grateful but this letter is too much.

In related fake news, Star is saying that chain-smoking Aniston plans to confront Angelina for being a homewrecker. I totally doubt this is true.

Star also claims that Angelina wants to move back to France as soon as Brad is finished filming "Oceans 13," and that Brad wants to get married but Angelina's against it.That sounds more likely. From their e-mail newsletter:

A source tells Star that the couple will reside in the US as long as Brad’s filming and then head to Paris when he’s finished. Angelina told a friend that she likes Paris because, “French law strictly limits intrusions by paparazzi- and the locals’ attitude helps, too. ‘People there,’ she told her friend, ‘just disregard us.’” The second issue the couple has to address is whether or not to hire a nanny. Angelina says she, “didn’t have three kids so she could leave them with someone. She insists on being a full-time, hands-on mom.” Brad is determined to hire a nanny to make time for the two of them. However, Angelina “wants to show him that she can be the perfect lover and the perfect mom…If that doesn’t work, she’ll deal with the nanny question then.” Lastly, is the thought of marriage. Brad wants to be married but Angelina is against it, “To Angelina, marriage is just a formality – and I don’t think she needs it to prove her devotion.”

This is not big news since Angelina has been calling the shots and already dragged the family to her mother's native France. No matter where they go they'll be hounded by photographers, though, because there were plenty of pictures of the Jolie-Pitts when they were in Paris.

It's all well and good for Angelina to say she doesn't need a nanny when she already has a chef, maid, and personal security staff to do her bidding. It must be easier to focus on your role as mother when there aren't a ton of other things to do.

Britney changes her baby's diaper at a Victoria's Secret

Britney changed little SP's diaper at a Victoria's Secret lingerie store. She didn't try to be discreet by using one of the plushy ottomans in the dressing room and just plopped him down next the cash register. When she was done she handed the dirty diaper to the woman at the counter to throw away for her!

Britney Spears' "Eeewww!" factor is apparently on the rise. The pregnant pop tart did more than just pick up a few pink thongs at the Victoria's Secret in Mission Viejo, Calif. According to Us Weekly, she got down on the floor next to the cash register and changed 9-month-old Sean Preston's dirty diaper. "Britney then tried to hand it to an employee," says a source. "The salesperson wouldn't take it." Silver lining? No eBay-ed diaper.

She could have changed his diaper in the car, a nearby bathroom, or in the dressing room, but instead she used the floor in a high traffic area of the store. How "country" of her.

Britney shocked diners at a restaurant in early March by changing Sean Preston's diaper - right on the table in front of other guests trying to enjoy their meals.

Perry may be hot, but he's a novice in the baby department and what Britney needs is an all-purpose baby coach to advise her on safety and etiquette issues. In other words - she needs some class!

She says the tabloids are too hard on her and that they've gone too far, but she continues to make deliberate dumb mistakes.

Here are screencaps from Britney's interview with Matt Lauer, which airs in its entirety tonight on Dateline. Thanks to BreatheHeavy.com for these photos and the composite image above. They also have portions of Britney's upcoming interview transcribed.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale with little Kingston

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale show off little two and a half week-old Kingston in OK! Magazine.

NoDoubtWeb has a reprint of the OK! accompanying story, which mostly focuses on Gwen's fashion sense, how cute and likeable the family is, and the fact that Gwen plans to shape up quickly:

Since the birth Gwen, who managed to keep at the forefront of fashion throughout her pregnancy, has not let motherhood stand in the way of getting back into shape. Looking forward to motherhood, she said: 'I'm hoping my children will save me from my vanity.' But the owner of one of the most famously toned turns in the business has already started training again and was even spotted out jogging just a week after the birth. Speaking before the birth, Gwen admitted: 'I'm looking forward to my post-pregnancy diet and I'm going to train.'

Famous for bearing her midriff, there are rumours Gwen is now planning to cover up her Caesarean scar with a tattoo of roses and angels.
Gwen and Gavin's completed family comes almost 11 years after they first met and four years after they tied the knot in wedding ceremonies in LA and London. Speaking about their relationship, Gavin said: 'She's a top girl. We're made for each other.'

The couple currently split their time between their homes in Los Feliz, California and the Primrose Hill area of north London.

Gwen, Gavin and little Kingston plan to move to a bigger house in California. The home where they now live in Los Feliz was purchased by Gwen in 1998 and seems too small for the growing family.

Did Britney drive with Sean Preston in the front seat again?!

X17online, which seems to be the official blog of the X17 paparrazi photo agency, claims to have an exclusive with pictures that show Britney getting into the front seat of her gas-guzzling Escalade with nine month-old Sean Preston. As commentors note, it's impossible to tell if she sits with SP on her lap as she has so eloquently defended as a "country" practice, or if she climbs into the back of the huge vehicle to put him safely in his carseat. Given Britney's reputation, it's hard to speculate whether she would have learned yet that people are watching her and that she needs to be careful, or if she would behave according to stereotype and continue to make dumb decisions that threaten her baby's safety. We're not sure, and are posting these pictures to get your comments.

Here is also a video preview of Britney's Dateline interview, which airs in part on Thursday morning on the Today Show and can be seen in full in a special that evening. She seems really pitiful, and I wish she would just lay low for a while and try to get her identity back rather than granting an interview. Sure she wants people to know that everything is just fine with her sad relationship, but she can't keep it together and shouldn't be talking to the press.

Jennifer Aniston still looks pregnant

People are saying she's bloated or whatever, but she really looks pregnant to me. Look how she poses defensively on the red carpet, holding her hands over her stomach and looking like she's trying to hide something. I think she's wearing a girdle here but still has a bump. It's below her belly button, not in the stomach area where it should be. If you look at the candid of her outside the Rodin museum, you can see a definite rounding. I may be wishing and hoping for this, since it would make such juicy gossip considering the situation, but I do believe it's true.

Life and Style Weekly is reporting that Aniston is pregnant. Yes I know that doesn't make it true, but someone else is reporting it!

Here is Aniston at a "Break Up" screening and photocall in Germany on June 12th and at the gardens of the Rodin museum in Paris on June 11th.

Britney Spears: child endangerment is "country"; her marriage is "awesome"

In an interview with Matt Lauer to air in Thursday night, Britney defends driving with her baby on her lap, saying that she often sat on her dad's lap as a child while he was behind the wheel, and that the practice is "country":

She drew criticism earlier this year when she was photographed with her infant son, Sean, sitting on her lap as she drove. She cautions against judging her.

"I did it with my dad. I'd sit on his lap and I drive," the Louisiana native said. "We're country."

In this case "country" is code for "stupid," which is sure to piss off non city-dwellers everywhere.

Britney also defends her marriage with the absent Kevin, saying it's awesome that he's not living in the basement:

Britney Spears says her marriage to Kevin Federline is "awesome," and scrutiny from the paparazzi has made her an "emotional wreck."

Opening up in an interview with NBC's Matt Lauer to be aired Thursday on the Today show and Dateline, the 24-year-old singer says it's not true that Federline is living in the basement, as some media have reported.

The paparazzi have "crossed the line a little bit" by showing her in private moments, she added. She also defended her parenting skills, saying, "I know I'm a good mom."

It's not true that Kevin's living in the basement because he's sleeping on a friend's couch in an apartment in Studio City, California and hasn't seen Britney in weeks. In her book that's awesome because Kevin is even more "country" than she is and she's afraid he'll endanger Sean Preston if he comes back to smoke up the house again with his pals.

It's sad that she thinks the paparrazi is the cause of her emotional state, but she should blame Kevin for that, not the hoards of photographers that follow her everywhere.

Tobey Maguire's fiance is pregnant

Star Magazine is reporting that Tobey Maguire's fiance and girlfriend of three years, Jennifer Meyer, daughter of Universal head Ron Meyer, is pregnant:

Tobey Maguire and his longtime love Jennifer Meyer are getting ready for their first baby. “Jennifer is pregnant,” a source tells Star. “It’s still early, so they aren’t talking about it publicly yet, but they are really happy.” Spider-Man star Tobey, 30, and Jennifer, 29, a Los Angeles-based jewelry designer and the daughter of Universal Studios executive Ron Meyer, began dating in 2003. The couple, who share a home in Los Angeles, got engaged in April, when Tobey gave her a ring from Tiffany. “Tobey said right away she was the one, and looks like he was right,” says the source.

“The big question for them now is do they get married now, before the baby is born, or do they wait so Jennifer can fit into the wedding dress of her dreams!” Tobey’s rep, Kelly Bush, told Star, “I do not comment on his private life.”

We reported six weeks ago that Maguire and Meyer were recently engaged, as reported by Page Six. They were said to have visited an ObGyn together at the end of March, so Meyer is probably further along than this article suggests.

Brad and Angelina are bringing the messiah to Malibu this weekend

TMZ reports that preparations are in high gear at Brad Pitt's $9 million Malibu estate for the famous family's return to the states this weekend. A van full of liquor pulled up on Wednesday, the secuirty system was upgraded, and the tennis court was covered again to create a large play area for Maddox.

The $9 million Malibu estate has been buzzing with workers this week. They're finishing off the security system, which includes an elaborate set of cameras pointing in every direction.

Most telling, TMZ is told that yesterday a white van arrived at the house and delivered a "massive amount of liquor." As one eyewitness says, it was: "magnums of everything."

The word from the crew is that the famous couple and their kids are arriving this weekend. A cleaning crew has been working feverishly this week and construction workers have been there seven days a week.

As one eyewitness tells TMZ, the entire house is set up for kids. Before the couple left for Namibia, the tennis court was tented and converted into a giant playroom -- especially for Maddox's 4-wheel toys. The party tent was taken down after they left, but this week it was put back up.

As for accommodations in the four bedroom house, Brad and Angelina have the master suite, and each uses a bedroom for an office. That leaves one bedroom left for Maddox, Zahara and baby Shiloh. We're told there is baby furniture in that fourth room, but the word is that Shiloh will sleep in the master suite with Brad and Angelina.

The joke at the house is that all of Brads expensive art is now up, along with his other pricey furnishings and everyone there "is wondering what he's going to do when the kids start destroying it."

We're told there will be a heavy presence of guards 24/7, but there's still a problem. It's a glass house -- literally -- and the paparazzi have a clean view from the ocean, where they often kayak. A solution to this issue has not been figured out yet.

In terms of the glass house offering a clear view from the ocean, there will probably be a tarmac put up to block the paparrazi just like at the Burning Shore Resort in Namibia.

The best part of the story is the fact that Brad and Angelina plan to have Shiloh sleep in the master bedroom with them. It's a lot easier on mom and dad to have a newborn in the same room as they can respond quickly when she wakes to nurse, and everyone will get more sleep. It also sounds sweet and like they are loving parents.

This news seems accurate, because Brad and Angelina admitted during their Namibian press conference that they planned to return to the states within a few days. It should be a lot more comfortable in California for Brad, who was said to be fed up with the heat and seclusion in Africa. Will Angelina be content to stay in Malibu with her new family? We doubt it. Once Shiloh is a little older she's bound to hightail it to France.

TMZ also has a video of Brad and Angelina's press conference. Angelina talks about moving to Africa, International Refugee Day, and their donation to Namibian hospitals. Brad doesn't say anything and is out of the frame until the end, when he kind of smirks and then catches himself and tries to look serious. She is pretty good at talking to the press and he seems content to let her do her thing.

Is Jennifer Aniston pregnant?! HQ bump pictures

Thanks to Girlzilla at Oh No They Didn't for pointing out that Aniston's got a bump! It would be just like her to go and get pregnant out of spite.

Is she just slouching or could she really be having a Vaughn spawn?

At first I didn't think this was true - then I looked at the HQ photos. I really believe she's knocked up. My husband looked at these photos and said "She's at that age where she's getting desperate."

She wore a tight dress to the Australian premiere of "The Break Up" on June 5th, so she's not doing anything to try and hide it.

Aniston seems indifferent about having children. Although she says she wants them eventually she balked when asked by Regis if she ever babysits Coco Cox, Courtney's daughter.

Aniston's supposed boyfriend, her "Breakup" costar Vince Vaughn, told Oprah that he hasn't talked about children with Aniston and that it's a big deal for him:

"No, I have not talked about having kids with Jennifer," he says. "I think [having children] takes a lot of focus, takes a lot of attention. I think it would be nice at some point to have a different priority in something else as you've sort of done stuff and challenged yourself, I think that time would come. But not any time in the near future for me, I don't think."

We commented at the time that it sounds like Vince wants kids, just not with Jen.

Here are high quality images thanks to Hollywood's Best from "The Break-Up" Australian Premiere on 6/5, press conference on 6/6, Chicago premiere on 5/29 and LA premiere on 5/22. She has a definite bump at all of these events.

For comparison, the last row has pictures of Aniston outside "The Late Show" on 5/24. Her stomach is perfectly flat there, so there is a chance that she is bloated in the other pictures. The woman is thin and toned though, and the bump is pretty pronounced, so we are inclined to think she's pregnant.

Shiloh baby pictures (update: HQs)

Thanks to reader Millie for e-mailing me to let me know that I'm not Obsessed had the Shilloh baby pictures that are coming out in People and Hello!. Unfortunately they had to be taken down, but we're under the radar for now and found them on the Saving Face Forum. This family is so cute that we feel sort of bad questioning Shiloh's parentage.

In the press conference with Brad yesterday, Angelina dismissed claims that she may marry the supposed father of her newborn baby, saying that they are committed to their children, but that "to have a ceremony on top of it is nothing." Getting married is nothing indeed, Angelina, especially when you have no plans to do it.

These photos are from Italian Vanity Fair.

Update: higher quality images thanks to CelebVent and originally from JustJared.

Brad may not be the father of Angelina's Baby!

The National Enquirer says that Angelina is freaking out because she had sex with someone else right around the time she conceived Shiloh and that Brad Pitt might not be her biological father!

"Angelina Jolie has been struggling with the most explosive Hollywood secret ever! Brad Pitt may not be the father of here newborn daughter, a source tells The Enquirer!"

Sources tell the mag that Angelina told pals she slept w/another man before getting pregnant, and now is worried that Brad may not be the baby daddy! Throughout her entire pregnancy sources say she suffered quietly after doing the math that lead her to fear Brad might not be the father. If you remember back in November, I covered a story that was featured in In Touch Weekly (check it here) that claimed Angelina's ex Jonny Lee Miller was goin' about town saying shit like he was still boinking Angelina and that Brad would be very upset if he ever found out. NE claims that Angie is totally freaked out about losing her man and desperately wants to keep him away from his ex Jennifer Aniston. She reportedly wants to pack up the family, stay outta Malibu (Jen's territory) and move it to France. If Angie has it her way, they'll be living there for years to come!

If Brad is a cuckhold (I just love using that word) that's obviously much worse than having to deal with moving around the world at your girlfriend's whim, and he might not put up with it!

The Enquirer could have made this up in order to move copies, but given Angelina's sexual past it's kind of believable. That's incredible! At least the baby is passably Brads for now. We'll have to see what she looks like when she grows into her features.

Here's the latest real picture of the world's most famous couple and baby from People Magazine. (Thanks Millie!)
The rest of the pictures come out in People this Friday, June 9th.

Thanks to Tabloid Whore for the story.

Jennifer Lopez: still not pregnant, still married to skeletor

I'm starting to feel sorry for Marc Anthony. Not only is he married to Jennifer Lopez, he also looks like he's suffering from an intestinal disorder or is addicted to heroin. He really needs to take some vitamins and do a liver cleanse. Maybe J.Lo feels sorry for him too, which would explain the record-breaking nearly two year length of her latest marriage. Or she could just be such an ambitious woman that she refuses to give up on Anthony's sperm. She might think that since he already has three children he's got to have it in him to produce one more, even if he looks like he's at death's door.

TMZ quotes a boutique store employee as saying that Lopez still had flat abs when she shopped there with her new friend Leah Remini last week, and The Post Chronicle claims that J.Lo told an insider that the paparrazi are following her constantly because they think she's pregnant. According to a thinly veiled work of fiction about J.Lo, she deliberately tries to get the press to think she's pregnant for publicity purposes.

In these latest photos if her leaving the gym with Leah Remini [via] and at the 2006 Crystal & Lucy Awards, [via] she doesn't look pregnant at all.
