Hugh Jackman is buff and hot and witty, and, according to Mike Walker in the National Enquirer, acted like a real-life superhero while promoting his superhero alter-ego Wolverine at Comic-Con in San Diego recently.

Enquirer reports that Hugh saw two female fans in the parking lot dressed as X-Men characters Magma and Storm. To his surprise, the woman playing Magma then set her arm on fire. The stunt went awry because “Storm” wasn’t able to douse the flames fast enough, and “Magma’s” hair caught on fire.

Moving like a real superhero, Jackman swiftly yanked her costume’s cape over her head, smothering the flames as he yelled for security.

Medics treated the woman, who luckily only received superficial scalp and head wounds.

Unless I see video or phone-cam pictures or at least a fan’s blog report on this, it sounds like fiction, but it’s still better than the plot of X-Men 3.

Not that I doubt Hugh could pull this off. Anyone capable of believably portraying both Wolverine and Peter Allen can certainly put out a flaming fan-girl in his down time.

Hugh Jackman’s next film role is in Australia, opposite new mom Nicole Kidman. X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens May 1, 2009.

Note by Celebitchy: Since this is alleged to have taken place at Comic-con, which I would venture to guess is filled with tech-savvy people who would be eager to spread the news of such a fantastic story, I doubt it’s true. Mike Walker’s column in the Enquirer is the only place I’ve seen this news at all and google searches turn up nothing. Here’s a video of Jackman on stage at Comic-con and when they pan to the audience about every third person is taping with a video recorder or their cell phone. This is alleged to have taken place in the parking lot, but wouldn’t we have heard of it already?

Either way, Jackman is a hero to me. Watching that video of him speaking to the audience at Comic-con, he is super grateful to his fans. Plus he has that cute accent.

OK! Magazine claims to have an exclusive story with all the details of Jennifer Aniston’s planned backyard wedding to John Mayer. They claim it will be the “WEDDING of the YEAR” in that bright yellow font the tabloids love to use. Judging from the quotes that are included in the teaser article posted on OK!’s site, it’s probably one of those stories that is entirely based on “insiders” and “sources,” and it sounds like it will sell a lot of copies even if it strikes me as completely fabricated at first glance:

In the coming months, Jennifer Aniston will be celebrating two major milestones in her life: turning 40, and marrying the new love of her life, John Mayer.

“She’s at an age where she is thinking with her head not just her heart,” a source close to the actress tells OK!, adding that the event will take place this fall. “No way would she still be with anyone if marriage wasn’t a real option.”

When Jen married Brad Pitt eight years ago, they spent $1 million on the ceremony, which featured a gospel choir, four bands, fireworks and an estimated 50,000 flowers!

But this time around, Jen wants something entirely different. “She doesn’t want anything elaborate or showy,” one friend tells OK!.

With best friend Courteney Cox as her matron of honor and godchild Coco Arquette as her flower girl, Jen will have all the attendants she needs or wants.

With both of them sharing the same laid-back and down-to-earth lifestyle, friends say Jen and John, 30, are made for each other.

“They are just a perfect match,” says a friend. “And everything about that will come through in this beautiful wedding.”

[From OK! Magazine]

You know those inspirational e-mail chain letters that Snopes calls glurge? They usually focus on stories of questionable origin like a terminally sick child getting his hospital bills paid by someone he once talked to in a restaurant. That’s what OK! Magazine is like at times. They’re one of the nicer celebrity glossies, and they never give us grief about using their exclusive photos, but it’s part sickly sweet fiction with enough details added in that you might be inclined to believe it if you don’t dig any deeper.

The bulleted details that OK! includes on the cover to add legitimacy to this article are:

• Intimate Beverly Hills I Do’s?

• Strapless Vera Wang Dress
• Matron of Honor Courteney Cox
• Orchids, Oysters and Champagne
• Honeymoon in Greece!

Ten to one these are just suggestions for Jen and John on their special day and the rest of the article is filled with quotes from a source, but we’ll have to see. I know I’ll be buying this issue to find out what all the fuss is about, and so will countless other people. OK! couldn’t afford the photos of Knox and Vivienne, but they can help us imagine what Aniston’s dream backyard wedding would be like. If she were actually engaged and planning to marry that guy she’s been with for about four and a half months.

Update: Aniston’s annoyed rep calls this story, along with another one that ran in Star about how Aniston wants Mayer’s surly baby “complete fabrications”

But her rep tells Usmagazine.com: “She is not getting married.”

See what a body language expert had to say about Jen Aniston and John Mayer.

Meanwhile, Star claims in its latest issue that she is going to have Mayer’s baby “as Brad and Angie’s twins wow the world.”

Says Aniston’s rep: “Both headlines are complete fabrications.”

[From US Magazine]

He forgot to add - “but if she was getting married again, it would be just like OK! describes, and she’s always wanted a honeymoon in Greece. That sounds so dreamy.”

Star Magazine has a new cover story that Sarah Jessica Parker’s husband of 11 years, Matthew Broderick, 46, had a now-over affair earlier in the year with a 25 year-old “youth counselor” he met in a bar. Star has plenty of details and supposedly has “sources” to support their tale, but they have been busted making up supporting information for completely bogus stories in the past and this isn’t necessarily accurate or even based on any eyewitness accounts. It’s worrying, though, and you wonder if there’s any truth to it:

In the new issue of Star — on newsstands now — we report that while the beloved actress was frantically searching for hubby Matthew Broderick one night earlier this year, he was having sex in the city with a gorgeous redhead half his age, the young woman told a friend.

After meeting in a bar, Matthew began text messaging the 25-year-old youth counselor, says the woman’s pal. Soon after, the insider claims, they began seeing each other and things got passionate quickly when they met at the Manhattan townhouse of a showbiz friend.

Sources say the woman felt conflicted with her relationship with Matthew, whom she nicknamed “Matty Cakes.” She tried to end it, say insiders, but that didn’t happen and over the next month — when Sarah Jessica was filming Sex and the City: The Movie in Los Angeles — multiple eyewitnesses say they saw Matthew make late-night visits to the other woman’s apartment building.

During one tryst, they arrived at her friend’s apartment after a night of heavy drinking, says a source. She dragged Matthew into the friend’s bedroom, then shut the door. “A half hour later, Matthew opened the bedroom door, mumbled ‘Well… ‘bye!’ and walked out. The friend found her passed out on the bed in her panties.”

[From Star Magazine's website]

There are rumors that Broderick plays for the other team, but those seem to be based on the fact that he does a lot of theater work and has gay friends as a result. Parker and Broderick have been married for over ten years and those rumors have little merit.

Maybe some fan girl made up a story and told Star she has a friend who had a fling with Broderick. Remember that crazy story that a French prostitute told X17 about how she had an affair with Eva Longoria’s husband Tony Parker? That wasn’t true at all and the woman even tricked a “Germany’s Next Top Model” contestant into reading from a script and recording videos claiming she had an affair with Tony.

This is Star, though, so there might not even be a woman who claims to have a friend who had an affair with Broderick, or she might work in their mail office and happened to have agreed to the story after a few cocktails. MSat reminded me today that a photo Star ran on their “ANGIE COLLAPSES!” cover was just Brad helping pregnant Angelina up after she was sitting on the beach.

Joel Madden and his twin brother Benji are covered in tattoos, but there’s one place Joel’s fiance Nicole Richie supposedly objects to seeing ink on her man - in his mouth. Nicole is said to have nixed Joel’s idea of having his front tooth tattooed with a picture of their daughter, Harlow, six months. This story was in Star Magazine, so take it for the creative fiction it probably is:

Nicole Richie thinks Joel Madden has had enough body art. So she flipped when he announced his plans to get more. “Joel promised Nicole that he wouldn’t get any more tattoos,” a source says. So a friend suggested a tooth tattoo, which is a photo imprinted on the tooth. “But when Joel told Nicole he wanted to get their daughter Harlow’s face tattooed on one of his front teeth, she shrieked, ‘Absolutely not!’”

[From Star Magazine, print edition, July 28, 2008]

There was just a feature on Boing Boing about tooth tattoos and I would bet that Star is pulling this out of their asses after reading about it. Star had a whole story about Nicole and Joel’s nonexistent planned wedding blowout along with a complete itinerary, so I wouldn’t put it past them.

Tooth tattoos run from $75 to $500 and you can get celebrity faces in your mouth along with symbols, animals and just about anything you want. They’re tiny but detailed hand portraits made on crowns and placed over the existing tooth.

Unlike skin tattoos the version you get on your teeth can be easily sanded off at the dentist’s office in a few minutes. At ToothArtist.com, they call teeth tattoos a “white collar tattoo,” because they can hidden on the back molars if desired. That said, I wouldn’t want my husband getting a tooth tattoo in the front and would prefer he go for more traditional ink on the upper arm. It’s permanent but doesn’t affect appearance as much.

Yesterday In Touch ran a story that we were about to cover which claimed that an American journalist in Amsterdam was hit on by John Mayer in a “coffee shop” there. According to In Touch, she recognized him but didn’t let on that she knew who he was. When she asked him what his relationship status was, he said “it’s vague.” This would mean that Mayer isn’t hesitating to hit on other women while he’s away on tour and that he’s either no longer with Jennifer Aniston or is cheating on her. The woman Mayer supposedly talked to says it’s not true, though, and that she did meet him but it was like a year ago. In Touch mentioned her by name, and she says she’s really upset they did that and that the distorted the story so much. Chaton Anderson has a friend at In Touch and says that’s how this story got started, but that the result was a near complete fabrication:

The magazine claims in a story titled “Jen’s Betrayed Again” that Mayer, 30, got “very flirty” with Chaton Anderson, 32, in Amsterdam on June 20. The magazine reports that Mayer described his “relationship status” as “very vague” and that he maintained “very intense” eye-contact during a two-hour conversation.

“None of this is true,” Anderson told Us from her home in Manhattan Beach, CA on Wednesday.

“I met John Mayer almost a year ago,” she explained. “I don’t understand why they’ve said it was this year.

“Nothing happened anyway – nothing at all,” she added. “I just met him briefly and he said, ‘Hello, I’m John,’ and that was it! It was just groups of people in a coffee shop.”

A rep for Mayer also told Us: “The In Touch story is false.”

The origin of In Touch’s story?

Anderson says she told a friend who works at the tabloid that she met Mayer “a long time ago” – and the story was fabricated from there. She says she had no idea she would even be appearing in the magazine.

[From US Weekly]

The thing is, if In Touch didn’t mention this other woman by name she probably wouldn’t even know the story was based on the brief time she met Mayer when he wasn’t even flirting with her. All we would have would be a denial by Mayer’s rep and I know I would be shaking my head and assuming he did this. It’s a much-needed lesson in how the tabloids make up fake stories. Think of how many other times this happens that we’re never privy to the origins of the fake story.

The hospital where Angelina Jolie is staying while she waits to give birth. Photos by WENN.
Last week some photos came out of a random pregnant woman lifting up her shirt for the paparazzi from the window of the gorgeous resort-like hospital on the French Riviera where Angelina Jolie is staying. I saw them on Just Jared, and although it was pretty obvious that it wasn’t Angelina they posted them anyway, which is what I would have easily done if we had a deal with that photo agency.

The guy posing with the smiling woman was a thin man in a white v-neck t-shirt whose face was covered. He could have easily passed for Brad Pitt if you squinted hard enough. The woman was a brunette and although the photos were faraway and very low resolution you could tell from her features and the size of her belly that it wasn’t Angelina. Angelina also has a big tattoo on her lower abdomen that would have been visible in the photos, as Just Jared mentions.

Even though not many people were convinced that was Angelina, the hospital where she is staying felt compelled to issue a statement that there’s no way you can see into her room from below. They say they put something on the window that makes it impossible to see in. It’s likely they’re trying to discourage some of the layabout photographers who are milling around the beach just waiting for a glimpse of the heavily pregnant star:

That wasn’t Angelina Jolie waving to fans from her hospital room last week.

Last Thursday, photos surfaced of a pregnant woman who resembled the actress, 33, at Lenval Hospital in Nice, France.

But a hospital rep tells the Associated Press: “It is impossible to see into Mr. Brad Pitt and Mrs. Angelina Jolie’s room. This is not Mr. Brad Pitt or Mrs. Angelina Jolie in them.”

The rep says that the windows of Jolie’s room have been covered with a special material to prevent any prying eyes.

On Tuesday, Pitt and son Pax, 4, visited Jolie, who has been resting and is being monitored by doctors in the seaside hospital.

[From US Weekly]

We published photos of the pigs on Brad and Angelina’s property on a slow news day, which gave me an excuse to talk about my harrowing experience with a family of wild boar, so of course a maybe-photo of Angie warrants discussion.

So far all that’s come out of Angelina in weeks is a very faraway picture of her outside. There are only a few photos of her kids and a mostly covered-up Brad Pitt dashing into the hospital visit her. I know right before my son was born my face was puffed up like a watermelon and I was huge. There’s like one photo of me at the time, and I would destroy it if the digital version were in my possession. Angelina’s arms are probably still skinnier than mine are now, so she’s not facing the same level of weight gain I had with just one baby, but who wants to get their photo taken right before they give birth? I would say that the paparazzi should pack it up and go home, but they probably assume that the minute they give up Angelina will emerge, and they’ll kick themselves for missing that money shot.

There’s a rumor that originated in Star Magazine the Nicole Richie is pregnant again. There have also been stories claiming that she’s trying to get pregnant and that she and Joel want to give little cutie Harlow, nearly six months old, a sibling. Star’s report seems to rely entirely on the loose clothing and comfortable footwear she’s been wearing lately, though, and we learned the hard way with Kate Hudson that consistenly wearing loose clothing does not a pregnancy make.

I would like to use this opportunity to brag that we were the first ones to call Nicole Richie pregnant with her first child last year. She was wearing a clinging dress at that point, so maybe she is pregnant again and is trying to hide it with flowing tops and dresses. I’m not quite sold by Star’s observer-only story:

A source told America’s Star magazine: “Nicole is dying to have a sibling for Harlow who is close in age. She doesn’t want them to be more than two years apart, so that they can be best friends forever.”

Nicole - who shot to fame when she starred alongside best friend Paris Hilton in MTV reality show ‘The Simple Life’ - first sparked reports she may soon be adding to her family when she was spotted wearing a flowing lilac ‘maternity-style’ top.

An onlooker said: “The top was not something Nicole usually wears. She ordinarily goes for tight T-shirts and vest tops. The other unusual thing was that she was wearing comfy sheepskin boots and not her usual heels - the boots definitely looked like something a pregnant woman would wear.”

[From Female First]

That’s not the most convincing story, but I have to admit that it did occur to me when I saw the last dress Richie wore to an event. That’s her style, though, and Paris Hilton is always wearing loose bold print dresses like that. It’s not true that Richie usually wears tight tops.

Here are a bunch of recent pictures of Nicole so you can judge for yourself, but I say these reports are premature. At driving school on 6/25 she wore a tank top and there was nothing that would suggest she’s pregnant. This was the only time in the last month that I can find that she didn’t wear a loose shirt, though, so you can see how Star might jump to that conclusion.

Another day, another “Angelina had the babies rumor,” except this time it’s a little closer to her due date and might actually be true. A French gossip magazine called Closer, which doesn’t look much different from US Magazine Star, has a super brief mention that Angelina had the babies. Even though I can’t understand French and have to rely on a translator, it’s easy to tell that it’s short on details and asks people to credit them with the news.

Here’s the rough translation from an online translator:

English automated translation: Exclusively world-wide, Closer is in a position to announce you that Pretty Angelina would have delivered this morning in a French hospital! The star would have returned last night in work room. All forbidden reproduction without the mention of the site closermag.fr

French version: En exclusivité mondiale, Closer est en mesure de vous annoncer qu’Angelina Jolie aurait accouché ce matin dans un hôpital français ! La star serait rentrée hier soir en salle de travail. Toute reproduction interdite sans la mention du site closermag.fr

[From Closer]

So she delivered, but there are no details on if she had a boy and girl as expected, where she was even in general, or if was scheduled or unexpected. Just Jared says that it claims she went into labor on Monday night (I think that’s what the “work room” translation is referring to) and gave birth this morning.

It could be true, but it seems like they’d have a little something more to report if it was, and wouldn’t be so quick to insist that they’re credited with this vague exclusive. The website for Closer magazine features some of their other stories about celebrities, including the familiar “beach bodies” and “scary skinny” pictorials. The gossip press isn’t that much different in France it seems, including the penchant to invent stories in order to get publicity. We’ll have to see, but this sounds this total bs to me or they would have a general location of the hospital and/or the sex of the babies.

Update Thanks to commenters Gena and Elisha below for pointing me to this AP article which confirms that Angelina is in a hospital in Nice. There is no news as to whether she’s given birth yet and it’s phrased as if she’s waiting to give birth and her admittance was planned. She is thought to have been on bed rest for a few weeks up until this point.

PARIS - Angelina Jolie has gone into a hospital in the south of France where she expects to give birth to twins.

Nadine Bauer, a spokeswoman for the Lenval Hospital in Nice, says Jolie is fine and that everything is going well. She said the actress’ admittance to the hospital’s maternity wing had been planned for some time.

Bauer said Jolie will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth. She said Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under surveillance and not to give birth immediately.

Bauer would not say when Jolie was admitted.

[From News.Yahoo.com]

So how many paparazzi and amateur photographers are going to be crowded around that hospital now? Why would they confirm that she’s there, though? It seems like they would refuse to comment out of respect for her privacy. Maybe Angelina should have rented all the equipment to set up a temporary hospital at that villa where she’s staying.

Update 2: In Touch is reporting that Angelina has checked into the hospital, but is “just resting” dyring a pre-planned visit and has not given birth yet. Her doctor us said to be flying in “later this week”

In Touch has learned that the Wanted star did check into the Hospital Lenval’s Santa Maria clinic in Nice, France, on June 30. “Ms. Jolie came to the hospital last night as part of a pre-planned rest period, before she gives birth,” Nadine Bauer, spokeswoman for the hospital tells In Touch. “The visit has been planned for a long time; there are no complications. She is just resting.” Angelina’s babies are expected to be delivered by French doctor Michele Sussmann and her regular ob/gyn Jason Rothbart, who is due to fly to Europe later this week.

[From In Touch]

Star Magazine has a cover story this week titled “Jamoe Lynn: Delivery Room Drama!” OMG! Jossip offers invaluable analysis of this probably half bullshit, half embellished story. They say that by having an exclusive deal with OK! Magazine for photos and stories about her baby, Jamie Lynn incurred the tabloid editor’s wrath more so than your average celebrity.

Here are the supposed details of Jamie Lynn’s “Delivery Room Drama!” Star claims Casey passed out, Britney pled with Jamie Lynn to have a cesarean, and mother hen Lynn insisted on being in the room when Jamie Lynn gave birth, cursing her out like a movie cliché of a delivery room scene:

In the new issue of Star, on newsstands now, we have all the details about Jamie Lynn’s delivery room drama — including her life-threatening decision, emergency surgery to save the baby, Britney’s jealous episode, Lynne Spears fighting with everyone and the brouhaha over a paternity test.

“The baby’s heart rate dropped every time she tried to push,” a family insider tells Star. “They did an ultrasound and quickly discovered that the umbilical cord was too short.” But despite the doctors’ dire warnings, the 17-year-old “was adamant about having a natural delivery.”

Everyone in the room at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in McComb, Miss., pleaded with Jamie Lynn to listen to the doctors — including big sister Britney. Brit had already been with Jamie Lynn for hours, massaging her back as she endured painful contractions. “But she got mad,” says the insider. She told Jamie Lynn to “just have a damn Caesarian,” as she did. “Britney then ran out in tears because she couldn’t bear to see what was happening.”

The girls mother, Lynne, only added to the tension. “Lynne was already angry because her daughter didn’t want her in the delivery room at all,” says the source. “But she had insisted on being there, along with Casey Aldridge, Jamie Lynn’s boyfriend. Jamie Lynn cussed and yelled at her mom, and told her to get out. She cursed Lynne for bringing her into the world to bear such pain.”

[From Star Magazine's website]

How poetic of Star: “She cursed Lynne for bringing her into the world to bear such pain.” I love that line. I’ve never heard of an umbilical cord being too short, but I Googled it and it does happen and can result in increased infant mortality.

Jossip notes that the article also claims that “Lynn Spears, Maddie’s grandma, wants a DNA test right away because she doesn’t believe Aldridge is the father.” Their explanation of how so many things went wrong with the birth is a lesson in a tabloid scorned:

You know what you get when you’re a celebrity and you sign an exclusive deal with a tabloid? Bad karma from the rest of the magazines.

Jamie Lynn Spears, who signed a $1 million exclusive deal with OK! for her pregnancy story and pics, is getting stabbed by Star with a dramatic cover story exclaiming, “Delivery Room Drama!” Since Spears is prohibited from playing ball with the other celeb weeklies, there’s only one thing Star can do: deliver one piece of bad news after another. If only Spears hadn’t signed with OK!, she could’ve scored some protection.

[From Jossip]

Star spreads a lot of fake news about celebrities but it’s particularly malicious when they’re blocked from a coveted story. On the remote chance that all of this is true, you could also say that Jamie Lynn had an unremarkable natural birth despite some minor complications and pressure from her doctors and family to have a c-section.

Emma Forrest, far right, is shown with Rose McGowan and Minnie Driver, both contributors to her book Damage Control. Forrest has been named as Farrell’s girlfriend

Yesterday we caused a big controversy with an article that pointed out that Colin Farrel was on the beach with seven month’s pregnant Minnie Driver over the weekend and could possibly be the father of her unborn baby. Driver gave three hints in an interview earlier in the year as to the identity of the father, but has otherwise left him unnamed, saying she wants to keep him out of the spotlight. The three hints included the fact that he was busy, was “sort of in the same business,” and was English. The English part was not directly quoted and seemed like it was an interpretation by the journalist. Colin is a Dubliner and in my infinite stupidity, I initially thought there must be some way that being from Ireland could be construed as “English.” I asked if there was anything she could have said that would have been vague enough to indicate “English” to the journalist, but to have included Ireland, and the best answer was “across the pond.”

As I mentioned in the comments, no offense was meant to anyone with my stupid question, and the main issue was that I was desperately hoping that hot Colin, 32, was the secret father of 38 year-old Minnie Driver’s soon-to-be-born first baby. That would make for great gossip as well as a super attractive child.

Driver is good friends with Colin’s girlfriend, an English novelist
Alas, my willful misinterpretation of geography and a beach outing probably doesn’t equate to Colin’s powerful seed making a new life with Minnie. They were on the beach that day with someone else who I initially didn’t notice - a dark-haired woman who was sitting on the towel near where Minnie was standing. It was possibly an English writer named Emma Forrest, who has been named as Colin’s girlfriend of several months. Forrest and Driver are friends and Driver has even contributed to one of her novels.

But in the past six months the Irish hellraiser has found his soulmate — pretty English novelist EMMA FORREST.

The couple have been as thick as thieves since being introduced earlier this year by top film director MARTIN McDONAGH.

A source said: “Colin is a changed man. He has knocked the boozing on the head and is enjoying life in a completely different way. Emma has been a steadying influence and they have hit it off big time.

“They have spent months trying to keep the relationship under wraps because they are falling madly in love…

“They are planning to move in together in LA soon, on his next break from filming…”

Emma has had several novels published and earned quite a few quid. So any suspicions of her being after Colin for just fame and fortune are well wide of the mark.

Like Colin, she has had tough times in the past and has penned some seriously dark blogs on the internet about contemplating suicide.

[From The Sun via commenter lalie]

If you watch the video of Colin and Minnie on the beach taken by paparazzi agency X17, you can see Colin hand his son to a woman on the towel at about :40 seconds in. I completely missed this part when I saw it the first few times because I was so focused on Colin and Minnie and my delusions of their coupling.

One commenter who went by “Jane” on our last post says “It’s def. not Farrell. I know for a fact. The father is a noncelebrity writer and they broke up months ago.” Her IP address was from Los Angeles at a major movie studio, so it could be true.

Sorry for running with this story so blindly that I forgot basic geography and didn’t notice an entire person. We published photos of pigs yesterday though, and I was desperate for any kind of scandal.
