Jennifer Lopez, who may be pregnant finally depending on how much evidence you need, is going to get her own reality show on MTV in which she auditions dancers for an excuse to make a show about their hard knock life:

I don’t know about Lopez’s “dancing out of love” comment. Dancers must enjoy it or they wouldn’t make it their career, but J.Lo’s dancing career was easily abandoned for singing and acting, and it seems like she does it out of pure ambition.

Lopez has somehow avoided a lawsuit for pulling out of her strange handful of tour dates in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. She promised to reimburse concert promoters for costs incurred in preparing for the shows she pulled out of, and they have agreed not to sue her.

She is also quoted as saying that thinking about her ex, Ben Affleck, and his new family makes her depressed.

So far the only source for J.Lo’s supposed pregnancy seems to be In Touch magazine. We’ll believe it when and if she looks further along.

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

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

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

Just seeing that brief montage gives me goosebumps!

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

Cacee Cobb, Jessica Simpson’s closest friend and personal assistant for over two years, has moved on to other things. She celebrated her last day on the job May 7th:

A woman impersonating Cacee was arrested last summer after scoring nearly $12,000 in free stuff by capitalizing on Cacee’s association with Jessica Simpson:

Jessica seems to have replaced Cacee as a best friend with hairstylist Ken Paves. They’re photographed everywhere together.

Here’s a nearly ten-minute clip from Newlyweds featuring Cacee after she moved in briefly with Nick and Jessica. The best part is Jessica saying that male ballerinas are called “Ballerino,” the “masculine form” of the word.

People are saying that Cacee has hooked up with Nick Lachey, since she spent nearly a half hour talking to him at a club last week. They know each other well, and it doesn’t seem like it means much.

Britney Spears make a surprise visit to the David Letterman show last night. She joked a little with Dave, confirmed her pregnancy and read the Top Ten.

Referring to earlier banter with Paul Shaffer about Britney’s possible pregnancy, Letterman said to Britney “Are we on to something here?”

“Don’t worry Dave, it’s not yours.”

Britney looked happy and seemed excited to be there, but she kept kicking her legs, which made her come off as nervous. She was also chewing gum! You’re not supposed to chew gum during a television appearance!

After Britney read the Top Ten “Suprises of the Bird Flu Movie,” skipping the word “Tamiflu” because it was too hard, Dave said “So, we’ve established that you are in fact pregnant?”

“Yes.”

Here’s the best video currently on YouTube. Once a better one is up, we’ll post it.

CBS also has a video online through the Late Show website but it’s in Real Player format, which won’t install for us here, and you may need to disable pop-up blockers and use IE. It’s way too much work and those idiots need to update their website. Real Player went out in 1999, why are they still in business anyway?

Everyone was speculating that Star Jones wasn’t long for The View after straight-talking Rosie O’Donnell was handpicked by Barbara Walters to replace Meredith Vieira. It turns out that people were right, because Page Six is reporting that an insider has confirmed that Star will be exiting the show.

Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, is said to be considered for Star’s soon to be vacant post. We can’t wait to see what crappy non-job Star gets next. She’ll probably be out of work for a while until she breaks down and becomes the spokesperson for a diet or fitness-related product. She’s already shilling payless shoes, and has no scruples about what she’ll endorse to get free shit or cash.

Here she is with her husband at the The Playboy Club party on 5/5 hosted by the 2006 Playboy Playmate of The Year. At least she doesn’t have to worry about him checking out the bunnies.

Lindsay Lohan appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live yesterday, capping off a day of more hard work giving interviews and showing up for stuff.

Here’s a blurry video of her appearance:

She seems out of it and defensive, and she really needs to rest. On the Today Show yesterday she said she works harder than her friends’ parents, and is the hardest working person she knows. Matt Lauer questioned her about substance abuse, and of course she denied she had a problem, talking rapidly and sniffing all the while.

Here is Lohan on TRL and a couple of candids of her out in NY with a new boyfriend(?) [via]

Pink is the New Blog has another recent picture of her with a different guy in what looks like an ad.

Update: the guy is 20 year-old James Burke, a model/musician who has also dated Kate Moss.

That 70s show is ending its eight-year run with a finale to air May 18th. Aston Kutcher became famous during his run on the show. Topher Grace also made the transition to the big screen, while Wilmer Valderrama became known for screwing starlets:

The wrap party for the series was held on Saturday night in Los Angeles. Topher Grace was noticeably absent from the party but Ashton Kutcher showed up with his old lady, Demi Moore, and her daughter Rumer. Other cast and friends shown include Don Stark, Kurtwood Smith, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Debra Jo Rupp, Wilmer Valderrama, Josh Meyers, Chris Masterson and Melissa Joan Hart.

Spoiler alert - if we haven’t already spoiled it for you. Sorry about that.
Mischa Barton’s character on The O.C., Marissa Cooper, may die of a drug overdose. Barton has several films coming up and is said to be tired of her ongoing role on the series:

Marissa had a near-brush with death when she took a handful of prescription drugs while in Mexico in season one of The O.C. Ryan found her passed out, heroically saving her just in time. It will be a sad end to her character, and that’s too bad that she’s not waiting out the end of the series.

O.C. creator Josh Schwartz says the show will go on for one more year, and that there will be a major plot climax at the end of this season. It sounds like he might be talking about Marissa’s death.

Here is Barton with Hayden Christensen in their film in production, The Decameron, a love story set in the middle ages. It is listed on IMDB with the title Guilty Pleasures.

No, not in the obvious way. At least according to this story. The hospital where Star had the gastric bypass surgery that she refuses to admit to had a problem sterilizing its equipment. So this isn’t as sensational a story as we were hoping, either, sorry about that:

[via]

If all this is true, and not some kind of conspiratorial cover up for the fact that Star’s husband infected her (we did not come up with this, the bulletin board where we found the news mentioned it first), then hopefully nothing happened to her, and she’ll be able to get on with her career of becoming the spokesperson for hemorrhoid cream after she gets booted off The View.

Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, is said to be in the running for Star’s place on The View. Star is not considered long for the show now that Rosie is taking Meredith Vieira’s seat. Star’s contract is up in September:

Nearly anyone would make a better cohost then Star.

Michelle Rodriguez appeared on MTV’s Total Request Live and Good Morning America yesterday. Her character was killed off this week’s episode of Lost, but she has played it off and insists it’s not due to her legal trouble:

Here’s a Good Morning America interview with Michelle and a quick recap of her death and love scene on Lost. She said that her death was planned from the beginning, but that she didn’t tell the other castmembers. She also said that her arrest taught her that it’s time to grow up.

Here are pictures of Michelle on Total Request Live [via] and some candids of her in Hollywood after being released from jail. [via] She must use the same cosmetic dentist as Hillary Duff.
