The beautiful Brangelina family, complete with their littlest one, is on the cover of Hello! Magazine’s December 19th issue. I love how Maddox looks protective of baby Shiloh. It’s nice to see her with the family as she’s not usually out with them in public. People wonder if there’s some kind of strategy on Brad and Angelina’s part to keep Shiloh out of the spotlight while bringing out Maddox and Zahara, but it could be also be a matter of convenience.

Angelina Jolie has said that she wants to have “many more” children, and that it makes her sad when people offer to take her children places she can never go as a famous celebrity, like Disneyland. She said she tries to give her family as much a normal life as possible:

“I’m very, very lucky. I love the different elements of my life. I love working abroad, and I love being with my kids and I love being with Brad,” Jolie, 31, said Friday at a press event for her movie The Good Shepherd. “I’d like to add many more children and many more obstacles and many more things to my life.”

Asked if she’d ever again work with Pitt, with whom she costarred in last year’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith, she replied with a laugh: “Who’s going to watch the children?”

Indeed, she chooses her films with Maddox, 5, Zahara, 23 months, and Shiloh, 6 months, in mind. “I don’t think that I’ve shot for more than seven weeks on a movie in two years,” she said. “I need to make sure that I have time with my kids.”

And she makes every effort to give her children a normal life, despite her own fame. “I’ve made a point to not let it change the way that I live my life, other than I carefully plan my holidays or where we go or where we stay or things like that to try to ensure some kind of quality of life that is private and nice for the kids. But we simply don’t let it affect us.”

She does admit, though, that there are challenges: “I think that the only time that it is hard is when the kids want to go somewhere and want to see something. I’ve had so many people offer to take my children to Disneyland or places that I can’t take them. And they don’t understand how upsetting that is.

“People offered to take my kids trick or treating or take my kids to whatever – things that they assume my kids can’t do. So we plan to find ways to do all of those things. There are worse problems and so we’re okay.”

News of The World recently ran nearly two year-old pictures of Paris topless and kissing a South American VJ and claimed that she was somehow cheating on Britney with this other woman. The pictures were from her hacked Blackberry back in January, 2005 and were old news.

Now they’re publishing pictures of Nicky and Paris goofing off in their lingerie at a Playboy party and in their limosine, and say that they’re somehow being pervy. They look like they’re just drunk and being stupid to me. It’s a weird thing to do with your sister, but whatever. They’re not tongue kissing or anything. Nicky also doesn’t have blonde hair anymore and these pictures look old to me. Does anyone know if they’re recent? Kim Kardashian looks the same.

Note that News of the World never states the date these were taken. It’s likely they don’t know how old they are as all they do is describe the pictures:

Sex-mad Paris is well-known for her lack of inhibitions.

But even she was pushing back the boundaries when she posed for this sizzling set of snaps on a visit to the Playboy Mansion in LA.

Paris, wearing stockings and suspenders and an animal-print basque, seems to be loving every minute of being captured bottom to bottom with Nicky, 23.

Their feet are clamped on the roof of their limo as they soak up the limelight.

In another shot Paris, 25, hugs and kisses her wide-eyed little sis - who is dressed in only a silky slip.

Our snapper said: “I know sisters can be a touchy feely but this was taking it to an extreme.”

The California Department of Children and Family Services is said to be trying in vain to contact Britney Spears, who is suprisingly inaccessible considering how much the public knows of her whereabouts. Page Six reports that child welfare agency is concerned about her two children, Jayden James, almost three months, and Sean Preston, 15 months. They may be simply following up on an earlier visit after Sean Preston fell from his highchair, but it’s likely they’ve been tipped off by her antics with Paris all over town.

The best news is that Britney’s mom Lynne is said to be watching the kids, because grandparents are usually much more attentive than the help, but they also report that Lynne can’t get in touch with Britney, which probably means that she hasn’t seen her children much lately apart from orchestrated photo-ops.

A source close to the singer said, “The department has been calling Britney trying to set up a meeting with her, so they can check on [Spears’ baby sons Sean Preston and Jaden James]. The calls started after this recent bout of bizarre public behavior.”

But they are not the only ones worried about Spears.

Her family is aghast at her all-night partying with Hilton and Davis and were mortified when, on four separate occasions, Spears was shot by paparazzi not wearing any underwear.

The family source said her mother, Lynne, “is very disturbed and has been trying to get a hold of Britney, but she can’t. Lynne, Britney’s brother, Brian, and her dad, Jamie, are very upset and are trying to stage an intervention with [Spears’ manager] Larry Rudolph’s help.”

A rep for the Department of Children & Family Services in L.A. didn’t return calls.

But it wouldn’t be the first time the family service agency’s social workers paid a visit to Spears. On April 8, representatives for the department, along with the L.A. County Sheriff’s office, went to the Malibu home Spears shared at the time with hubby Kevin Federline after Sean Preston fell from a high chair and hit his head while he was under the care of a nanny.

Another friend of Spears said it is possible the department is now merely following up on that original visit. But the Spears household has probably become even less stable since April.

The public has yet to get much of an even covered-up glimpse of little Jayden, and at first Britney was said to be waiting to publish his pictures until she brokered a deal with a top magazine. She then was said to want to give the pictures away so K-Fed couldn’t get 1/2 of the profits. Vanity Fair may have rejected an unpaid Suri-like spread for Jayden, but People was interested at one point. It’s clear that Britney isn’t taking Jayden out or spending much time with him in between her busy schedule going out to clubs and flashing poon with her new friends. In fact we’ve seen way more of Britney’s hairless kitty than we have of her newborn child.

At least she’s been seen out with Sean Preston. That’s something.

Get a load of that freaky picture of Tom sitting on a throne with Connor and his best man, the head of Scientology’s David Miscavige, beside him. Word is that Miscavige accompanied Tom and Katie on their honeymoon on that tug boat yacht in the Maldives. He must have been along to advise them of the best ways to start a marriage according to the random drug-fueled teachings of L Ron.

Before Steve Irwin died at the unlikely end of a stingray he was working on a nature show with his 8 year-old daughter, Bindi. Now Bindi is carrying on her father’s legacy by going through with the series without him. It will feature some pre-shot footage of Bindi and Steve together, and is titled “Bindi, The Jungle Girl.”

The show will air on Discovery Kid’s Network early next year:

That’s sweet and hopefully the series will do well for little Bindi. She will be featured in an interview on Australian television this week, in which she will talk about losing her famous father. Her mother Terri was interviewed by Barbara Walters last month.

In the October 2006 issue of Allure magazine, Jessica Simpson proclaimed that the way to her heart was through accepting her father, Creepy Pa Joe.

When asked by the interviewer if she thought her father’s overarching role in her life contributed to the end of her marriage, and if any man could compete with her father, Jessica simply had this to say:

“I think any man who is intimidated by that
relationship, I don’t want to be with.”

She further went on to say that she’s not the type of girl who sleeps around.

Whoah, Ken Paves’ hairspray seems to have permanently killed the brain cells in poor Jessica’s head. How this girl goes from talking about her father, to being a tease, and then going gaga for cock is just crazy.

Does she really think we are going to believe she is sleeping with her clothes on next to John Mayer? Also, does Creepy Pa Joe approve of her relationship with John? Because if he doesn’t, John’s going be out of Jessica’s life faster than you can say “Lachey”.

Lindsay Lohan’s dad is striking back at reports that he bragged to his fellow inmates about banging Lindsay’s stunt double. An anonymous letter was sent to the NY Daily News detailing Michael Lohan’s annoying habit of talking about his daughter constantly and making it seem as if he will have all of Hollywood at his feet when he finally sees the light of day. Michael Lohan said that it’s not true, and that the other jailbirds are just jealous of his hot daughter and fabulous opportunities:

Meanwhile Lindsay is said to be miserable since Harry left her, and is indulging in high-priced drinks she’s technically not old enough to be served:

Here are pictures of Lindsay on the night in question. She indeed looks quite drunk. But look - there’s a picture of Harry outside the very bar she was getting served illegally in. Did he visit her there? She’s got JBF hair - did he try to soothe her pain in the bathroom with a little breakup sex? Only the tabloids will tell.

Angelina Jolie was photographed visiting her ailing mom, French-born actress Marcheline Bertrand, at the Beverly Hills Ermitage Hotel. She was stopping in to see her mom before heading to India to film “A Mighty Heart,” about the death of journalist Daniel Pearl. Angelina and Brad will be flying to India the first week in October, and should stay about a month:

Angelina is also set to be featured in a sexy spread in January’s Vogue shot by famed photographer Annie Leibowitz. Angelina is said to be re-establishing her status as a sex symbol following the birth of her first biological child, but it doesn’t seem like needs to, because people consider her as sexy as ever.

I didn’t report on this yesterday because it sounds like the British newspapers are trying to stir up controversy about the Simpson family (not that they don’t create enough of it on their own), but Jessica is said to be grumpy and distraught at being in Ashlee’s shadow for once. She supposedly was in a mood at Ashlee’s “Chicago” opening after-party, said she didn’t want to be there and left in a huff. There was a quote from Joe Simpson in the ever-reliable Mirror that is particularly suspect.

Then the poor girl had a stomach problem and had to postpone a commercial shoot. I would say it’s in poor taste to discuss a celebrity’s, uh movements that way, but Jessica gleefully told everyone watching her reality show that she was going to drop her kids off at the pool, so she kind of deserves the scrutiny:

This sounds like an exaggeration. She probably feels a bit down because her ex has moved on and her sister is in the spotlight, but whether she actually left Ashlee’s party or not and what the circumstances were is hard to tell.

Oh, and The New York Post has redesigned. It’s prettier, but the usability is shitty and overall I think it’s a mess. Too many graphics and colors compete for your attention. They also ripped off Gawker’s Stalker maps.

Here is Jessica out at Mr. Chow in London on Tuesday night. She seems to realize that her dress is see through and tries to cover up with her big purse.

Thanks to SweetKisses.net for these pictures.

Every day it seems like something new comes out to explain Lohan’s constant partying and sluttish ways. Someone at the jail where Lindsay Lohan’s dad is an inmate sent an anonymous letter to the NY Daily News detailing how obnoxious Michael Lohan is:

That’s not surprising, but wait - didn’t Lohan’s dad find God in jail? Doesn’t he know that bragging about sleeping with his daughters stunt double isn’t Christian?

If Michael was talking about banging Lindsay Lohan’s stunt double in “Herbie: Fully Loaded,” it was Darlene Ava Williams and although her promotional pictures are gorgeous, she is looking really beat lately, as seen in the picture above.

Michael Lohan recently sent a rambling missive to his daughter through British rag The Sun, telling her that he holds her blameless for all the bad press about her, and that she needs to put her faith in God, too.

Update: I’ve been thinking about this post, and I feel bad for bashing the stunt double. Darlene Ava Williams is an average person working in Hollywood who had the bad sense to give it up to Michael Lohan. She’s perfectly decent looking and it’s not fair to call her beat. My apologies to her, she’s probably not a millionaire and doesn’t deserve the ire usually reserved for high profile celebrities.

Also, this may not be the stunt double Lohan’s dad was referring to, I’m just making an educated guess. Carry on.
