Well, I just dropped my mom at the airport in Sanford.  SAD.  But we had a great visit, and got lots of wedding stuff done and lined up.  I already miss her so much. 

So, lets catch up on some gossip.  Mario Lopez is the hottest bachelor?  HUH?  Says who?  From People.com…

Mario Lopez may be PEOPLE’s Hottest Bachelor – but the A Chorus Line star and fitness buff has a shocking admission: He was a chubby baby. “I looked like a sumo wrestler,” Lopez says in a new interview. “My mom had to pull the fat folds apart when she bathed me!” But that’s all in his past.

As fans know, Lopez has mined his love of fitness to create his own book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness. The exercise guru, who is recently single, says that a full slate of projects has kept him off the dating market but that hasn’t stopped him from thinking about dating completely.

“I like a girl who’s from a modest sort of upbringing, because it’s more relatable,” he says, explaining what he looks for in a potential girlfriend. “I’m a first-generation American. My parents [Elvia and Mario Sr.] emigrated from Mexico and live in the same house I grew up in Chula Vista, Calif. I’d feel weird if the girl was a little too uppity or affluent, because I’m a very down-home kind of guy.”

For the lucky ladies who do manage to snag a date, expect to be flexible. “I like to go to a place in Koreatown in L.A. where they have private karaoke,” he says of his favorite date activity. “It’s a great place to bring a girl and see how she reacts. If she rolls with the punches and has a good time, then I’m like, ‘All right, this girl is cool!’”

…I couldn’t disagree anymore.  A guy who is known for cheating on the women in his life is not HOT at all!  Puh-leaze!   Some other “so-called Hot Bachelors” are…

BRODY & FRANKIE

“We were both like, ‘Who is this guy that’s always got girls?’” Delgado, 27, says of meeting his “wingman” and Hills costar Jenner. Since pairing up in 2004, the pals admit that only once has a girl come between them. “We went on a boys trip to Miami after he broke up with his girlfriend,” says Jenner, 24. “All of a sudden, they rekindle. Next thing you know, I’m in Miami by myself. I had the couch. It was a nightmare.”

DAVID COOK

He can sing in front of millions of people, but the 25-year-old American Idol winner admits that his stage bravado doesn’t always carry over into his personal life. “Looking a pretty woman in the eye and convincing her I’m worth taking a chance on is different. It takes a specific brand of guts, and it’s not the kind I have.”

TERRENCE HOWARD

The Iron Man star, 39, has a brutally honest take on love. “I’m the most arrogant person you’ll ever meet, and any woman I date has to know that,” he says. “Life is too short to pretend that you’re okay with somebody when you’re not.”

 
(…WTF?  Really?  Can PEOPLE Magazine kiss the Spears butt anymore?)

BRYAN SPEARS

A TV and film producer, Britney and Jamie Lynn’s older brother says he prefers the behind-the-scenes life. “I can go to any party I want, but I can also slip away and not have paparazzi follow me.” Still, Spears, 31, shares a few similarities with his famous younger sister: “We are both sensitive. We get our feelings hurt easily, Britney and I.”

(…YES!  They finally got one right!)

GERARD BUTLER

The 300 star, 38, says he hasn’t always had luck with women. “A few years ago, I went out with a girl and we were having a great time. She went to the toilet, and I thought, ‘You know what? I’m also going to go to the toilet.’ Maybe it took me a little longer to get out of there than I thought. I came back and she was gone. So I said to the waiter, ‘What happened?’ The waiter said, ‘She came out and stood around the table and then she left.’ I ran outside and she was nowhere to be seen. I never saw her again!”

(…OK, this is a total farce!  He’s wearing make-up and he’s bald.)

BRET MICHAELS

The Poison frontman and Rock of Love star thanks his famous blond hair for his luck with the opposite sex. “It creates this Tarzanesque, likable bad-boy image. It says, ‘I am a wild child. I will take you on a Harley ride, then make passionate love to you. And should you be attacked by a lion or an idiot at a bar, I will protect you,’ ” says Michaels, 45. “To put it simply, long hair works for me. It rocks.”

(…YES!!  Definitely HOT!)

ADAM LEVINE

The Maroon 5 frontman reveals his dealbreakers when it comes to relationships. “If she says, ‘I want you to start cutting your toenails more frequently,’ I will say, ‘Good idea. I will change that.’ If she says, ‘I don’t want you to watch the Lakers game,’ I’ll say, ‘Let’s break up,’ ” admits the singer, 29. “You have to strike a balance.”

 …CRAZY picks this year People.  You only got a couple right.  Better luck next year.

Britney is selling her house, getting out of LA, and heading for Kentwood.  Not to live… no we wouldn’t be that lucky.  She’s just going to visit baby sis.  From USWeekly…

Britney Spears is set to fly to her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, on Wednesday, as her pregnant sister Jamie Lynn, 17, prepares to give birth, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
The singer, 26, could stay home for at least a month.
At a hearing in her conservatorship case on Tuesday, a L.A. court commissioner pushed back a July 31 hearing to determine whether her father Jamie should maintain legal control over the singer.
The court commissioner said the singer will be on vacation and won’t be back in time to participate in crucial meetings. (Lawyers will now review matters of evidence in the case at the July 31 hearing.)
At Tuesday’s hearing, the court commissioner also granted Jamie permission to sell the singer’s six-bedroom home in Studio City, California (where she was removed in January and forced into a psychiatric hospital).
Because her father is her co-conservator, the decision to sell the home required a court’s approval.

…The last thing Britney needs right now is control over her life.  She just seems to finally be pulling it back together.  Stay with your family girl.  Better yet…stay in Kentwood!

Is Jessica throwing a dagger at Carrie Underwood here?  I don’t think so… But they’ll make a story out of anything these days.  From USWeekly…

Did Jessica Simpson try to start a food fight with Tony Romo’s ex Carrie Underwood?

The singer, 27, wore a “Real Girls Eat Meat” T-shirt (which she got for free from steakhouse Primehouse New York) during a weekend outing with Romo, who dated Underwood in 2007.

See photos of other stars’ T-shirt messages.
Underwood was named PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2005.

PETA quickly jumped to Underwood’s defense.

“Jessica Simpson’s meaty wardrobe malfunction makes us thankful that no one is looking to her for food advice. Chicken-of-the-Sea, anyone?” a PETA rep tells Usmagazine.com. “The woman who thought that Buffalo ‘Wings’ came from buffalos would benefit from some good veggie brain food.”

Adds the rep: “We’re rushing Jessica one of our Vegetarian Starter Kits.”

…Come on people…it’s just a TShirt.

AW…Jennifer Lopez did something really sweet and cool!  From People.com…

Jennifer Lopez made graduation day very special for a lucky group of Staten Island, New York, elementary school students Tuesday.

The star dropped into P.S. 37, a school for autistic children, on Tuesday, where she performed “Let’s Get Loud” for a group of eight 10- and 11-year-olds, the Associated Press reports.

Teacher Kathy Amati told the AP that after her students saw a video of the song, they wanted to watch it every day, learn the lyrics, and practice Lopez’s dance moves.

Inspired, they wrote letters to Lopez, who was so charmed that she decided to come to their graduation.

…You have to admit… that’s pretty cool.  Way to go J Lo!

Tiger out for the rest of the Season.  From PGA.com…

Woods to miss rest of 2008 season, needs more surgery on left knee

- AP

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Tiger Woods is done for the year, but not without one last major that capped off a painful 10 months.

Woods said Wednesday he will have season-ending knee surgery, revealing he has had a torn ligament in his left knee since last July.

And he suffered a double stress fracture of his left tibia while preparing to return to the PGA Tour last month, which forced him to miss the Memorial and was the source of his pain at Torrey Pines when he won the U.S. Open.
“Now, it is clear that the right thing to do is to listen to my doctors, follow through with this surgery and focus my attention on rehabilitating my knee,” Woods said in a statement on his Web site.
He had arthroscopic surgery April 15 to clean out cartilage in his left knee, bypassing ACL surgery with hopes it could get him through the 2008 season. But going 91 holes for his 14th career major made it impossible to play any longer.

Woods was last seen in public late Monday afternoon walking with a pronounced limp across Torrey Pines toward the parking lot, the U.S. Open trophy in his arms.
Upcoming surgery makes his 14th major title even more staggering — despite the stress fractures, he managed to win a U.S. Open that required five days of flinching, grimacing and a long list of spectacular shots that have defined his career.
“Although I will miss the rest of the 2008 season, I’m thrilled with the fact that last week was such a special tournament,” Woods said.

He played only seven times worldwide this year and won five of them. He will miss a major championship for the first time in his career and will not be available for the Ryder Cup in September.
It will be the third surgery in five years on his left knee, although Woods said doctors have assured him the outlook is positive. When asked

Monday if he further damaged his knee by playing in the U.S. Open, Woods said, “Maybe.”
Doctors have told him, however, that the stress fractures will heal with time.
He did not say when he would have surgery.
Woods is ultra private with his health and personal life, never more so
than at the U.S. Open. He never mentioned the torn ACL or the stress fracture, and wouldn’t say how he was treating it, only that it was more sore as the week went on.

Perhaps the biggest surprise was when the injury first happened.

Woods said he tore the ACL while jogging at home after the British Open last July. He chose not to have surgery and went on a run that included seven consecutive victories, including the Dubai Desert Classic in Europe and his Target World Challenge, an unofficial event.
He did not play overseas late last year for the first time since 2003, hopeful that rest could allow him to play more this year. But the pain intensified through the Masters, where he finished second, and Woods said the cartilage damage developed from the ACL injury.
What he didn’t anticipate were the stress fractures, discovered as he tried to get ready to play in the Memorial.
“The stress fractures that were discovered just prior to the tournament unfortunately prevented me from participating and had a huge impact on the timing for my return,” Woods said. “I was determined though, to do everything and anything in my power to play in the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, which is a course that is close to where I grew up and holds many special memories for me.”
…Get Well soon Tiger!  And THANK YOU for an amazing U.S. Open

Happy Friday the 13th!  But hey… it’s just another day.  Riiight?

No shocker here… Pam Anderson has moved back in with Tommy Lee.  Wonder for how long?  From DListed.com…

Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson are back together and giving their love another shot.  This is the 12,345th time they’ve tried to make it work, but who’s counting?

Tommy told Rolling Stone, “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me. It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together.”

…At this point, they’ve really dated everyone else…so this makes sense!  But then again… the romantic in me still says that you can fall in love in one week and have it be the love of your life.  Andy and I knew immediately… and maybe these two did too, afterall.

John and Jenn double date with BFF Courtney Cox.  From People.com…
By Beth Perry and Kate Stroup

It’s good to have Friends.

Jennifer Aniston met up with BFF Courteney Cox for a humanitarian event at L.A.’s STK restaurant Thursday night – and both brought along the men in their lives.

John Mayer arrived just before 9 p.m., kissing Cox hello and settling next to Aniston (who wore a sleeveless black shirt, grey pants and sky-high strappy sandals). She quickly slipped her arm around him and, a few minutes later, she playfully tousled the singer’s hair.

David Arquette joined them later – after catching the end of the Lakers-Celtics game at the front bar – and the group sat chatting over glasses wine. It was a cozy anniversary celebration for Cox and Arquette, who were married June 12, 1999.

After the STK dinner and event, hosted by Coco de Ville founder Mary Fanaro and sponsored by Kitson, the group headed next door to Coco de Ville, for the OmniPeace.com event honoring Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, co-founder of the anti-poverty organization Millennium Promise.

Good Deeds

Aniston greeted Sachs – famous for his philanthropic work with Angelina Jolie – with a warm hug, and the two sat in intense conversation for 20 minutes. (After Sachs left, Aniston and Mayer discreetly held hands under the table while catching up with Cox and Arquette.)

“[Jen] is absolutely wonderful,” Sachs told PEOPLE later. “She knows that she reaches so many people and is eager to contribute in many ways. It was absolutely fantastic to speak with her.”

As for his other celebrity supporters – Jolie and Aniston’s ex, Brad Pitt – the author of Millennium Promise offered glowing praise.

“They’re so much fun and so committed,” he said. “Angie is just boundless energy, creativity, endlessly so … And Brad is so committed as well with what he’s been doing in New Orleans on environmental issues. It’s phenomenal.”

…Hollywood is a very small town after all.  And maybe one day, we can actually STOP bringing up Angelina whenever we talk about Jennifer.  It’s SOOOO old.

Oh no!  Katherine Heigl ruffles Grey’s Anatomy feathers again.  From Justjared.com…

Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl said on Wednesday that she did not put her name in for Emmy consideration this year because she did not feel she was given material to justify it.

Now, a Grey’s Anatomy insider fights back and says, “The show bent over backwards to accommodate her film schedule, and then she criticizes the show for lack of material?” the insider told EW. “It’s an ungrateful slap in the face to the very writers responsible for her Emmy win in the first place.”

Last year Katherine was advised by her own manager/mother that she “didn’t have a shot in hell of winning,” and made a point of telling the Primetime Emmy Awards audience in her speech.

Grey’s Anatomy has slipped in the ratings this past season but is still a top 10 show.

…Come on Katie…stop being so HARD to please.  Enjoy your life, and be thankful.  And go make my pal…your hubby, Josh Kelley happy!  Oh wait… he already is.

That didn’t take long.  Dr. Drew is back peddling thanks to Tom Cruise’s lawyer.  From People.com…

By Mike Fleeman • Reporting by ALEXIS CHIU

Dr. Drew Pinsky issued a tempered apology to Tom Cruise on Thursday after the therapist raised questions about the actor’s mental health.

“Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful,” Pinsky’s rep said in a statement.

But Pinsky, the host of VH1’s Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, continued the war of words with Cruise’s attorney, Bert Fields, who sharply criticized Pinsky for his comments in Playboy.

Pinsky speculated in the magazine that Cruise’s Scientology beliefs could be a result of childhood “neglect,” prompting Fields to call Pinsky a “posturing flake” who “pretends to diagnose people he’s never met.”

Pinsky responds: “Although Mr. Fields’s intent is clearly to slander and discredit Dr. Drew, under no circumstances is Dr. Drew making a blanket diagnosis about Scientology nor Mr. Cruise whom he does not know. Dr. Drew was simply using Mr. Cruise as an example of someone who is recognizable to help the public understand. Again, Dr. Drew meant him no harm.”

…Behold the power of a VERY high priced attorney.  And rumor has it Gary Djourdan, formerly of CSI, has joined the the Celeb Rehab 2 show.  I don’t really believe that one… but we’ll see.

Mariah’s mega Wedding called off!  From DListed.com…

The two have called off their second wedding which was supposed to take place in NYC sometime this month. Their first wedding in the Bahamas just wasn’t enough for Mimi. The second wedding was going to be a multi-million-dollar crystal unicorn extravaganza fit for an 8-year-old!

Mimi reportedly couldn’t find a magazine that was interested in spending millions for the exclusive photos of her cotton candy fiesta. A source told MSNBC’s The Scoop, “Mariah was willing to pay for the wedding, but the way she hoped to pay for the wedding was through the sale of photos. No one was interested.”
…or has the shine come off the penny?  Mariah is wealthier than we can even imagine!  She’d have no problem paying for this mess if she wanted to.  By why spend millions to make a fool of yourself.  Hmm…. Could she be having second thoughts?

Oh this is just COLD!  And kinda funny when it’s not happening to you.  From Justjared.com…

An oldie but goodie! A great newspaper clipping from years ago:

“Jodee Berry of Panama City, Fla., sits with her toy Yoda at her lawyer’s office Wednesday. Berry, a former Hooters waitress, has sued the restaurant where she worked saying she was promised a new Toyota for winning a beer sales contest in April. Berry, 26, believed that she had won a new car, but she was blindfolded, led to the parking lot and presented a toy Yoda, the little green guy from Star Wars.”

And for the slow folks out there, a TOY YODA is not the same thing as a TOYOTA.

…PS…My new Toyota Highlander will be here next week!  YEAH!!  I can’t wait for my new car!

UPDATE:  All is well for Guy and Madonna. :)  From ICYDK.com…

If you believe the reports coming from tabloids across the pond earlier today, Madonna and Guy Ritchie have not only separated, but they’re both meeting with high-powered divorce attorneys to split up their sizable estate. One website even claimed that Madge had hired Nicholas Mostyn, who most recently represented Paul McCartney in his divorce from ex-wife Heather Mills.
However, it looks like all this rumor-spouting is just that, as a rep for the Material Girls tells OK! that Madonna and Guy’s 7-½ year marriage is still going strong.
“There is no truth to [reports of a divorce],” the rep for the singer tells OK!. “Madonna has not met with any lawyers nor are there any plans for a divorce.”   Source WENN

Paul Newman comments on the “cancer rumors.”  From People.com…
By Stephen Silverman

Paul Newman has responded obliquely to a number of published reports that say he is gravely ill with cancer.

The 83-year-old Oscar winner’s spokesman in Los Angeles, Jeff Sanderson, told Reuters and other media outlets on Tuesday: “Newman says he’s doing nicely.”

Without elaborating, Sanderson added: “He says he’s doing nicely, and this is the statement I wanted to share with you, and that’s what I have. I spoke to his office [in Connecticut]. This is the statement that came directly from him.”

According to numerous but unconfirmed media accounts, the screen hero is undergoing outpatient treatment for lung cancer at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan.

A spokeswoman for the medical facility told Reuters she had no information about Newman’s being a patient there.

Possibly helping to stir the current concerns about Newman’s condition was a photo that appeared last Friday on Martha Stewart’s blog, in which, standing beside the domestic expert at a fundraiser for the Newman-launched Hole in the Wall Camp Gang, for kids battling severe diseases, the handsome leading man looked like a shadow of his former self.

Born in Cleveland and raised in the Midwest, Newman was a Broadway actor before making his first movie in 1954, the ancient costume drama The Silver Chalice, which he has called one of the worst movies of all time.

A Screen Giant

He is much better known for a progression of hits in the later ’50s and continuing through the ’90s, including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, The Sting and 1986’s The Color of Money, which brought him his Oscar.

And all of these movies showed off his beautiful blue eyes to their best advantage.

One recent role was his distinctive voice only, as “Doc” Hudson in Disney-Pixar’s 2006 Cars.

Last year he announced his retirement from acting, saying on Good Morning America, “I’m not able to work anymore … at the level that I would want to.”

Last month, citing unspecified health issues, he withdrew as director of a stage production of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” at Connecticut’s Westport Country Playhouse – whose artistic director is Newman’s wife of 50 years, The Three Faces of Eve Oscar-winning actress Joanne Woodward.

Besides acting and directing, Newman has two great passions that have long driven him: racecar driving and doing charitable acts. Through his food company Newman’s Own – whose motto is, “Shameless exploitation for the common good” – the star and his Newman’s Own Foundation have “donated all profits and royalties after taxes for educational and charitable purposes,” according to the Newman’s Own Web site.

In all, that has amounted to more than “$200 million to thousands of charities worldwide since l982.”

 

…Paul Newman has done so much good, and providing us with so many great films.  Let’s all say a lil prayer for him.

Are you ready for a Gossip Girl Spinoff?  It’s in the works.  From USWeekly…

OMG: A Gossip Girls spin-off is in the works.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new show will be set at a girls boarding school.
Actress Taylor Momsen (who plays the divalicious Jenny Humphrey) is being eyed to headline. A new character also could be introduced this fall and be spun off.
On the original CW hit, Humphrey strived to be popular — and clashed with queen bee Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) in the process. Last season, she almost got arrested after stealing a couture gown from one of her friends’ moms. She was also nearly date raped.
In the book — on which the series is loosely based — Jenny is sent away to boarding school after being forced to repeat ninth grade.
It is unclear if the CW would pick up the show (the network recently announced plans to air a 90210 spin-off).
As a result, the spin-off could end up on a competing network.

A CW spokesperson declined to comment.
…OMG!  How cool.  A double dose of Gossip Girl.  Could be interesting…

Mark Wahlberg may finally see fit to marry his girlfriend…after having 3 kids together.  How nice of him.  From People.com…By Jeffrey Slonim

Mark Wahlberg and model Rhea Durham have been together for years – and are proud parents to daughter Ella, 4, and son Michael, 2.

Now, as the couple expects baby number three, are they finally ready to walk down the aisle?

They haven’t announced an engagement, but the actor did call Durham his “future wife” at the New York premiere of his new film, The Happening.

“I did my own thing for some 30-odd years,” he told PEOPLE at the Tuesday night event. “I had a blast, and now I feel like I have a real purpose.”

The actor dropped the “wife” word when discussing his 37th birthday on June 5. “I had a beautiful day with my kids and my future wife,” he said. “We went to brunch.”

As for the impending arrival, Wahlberg revealed that they’re having a son, and that Durham, 29, is due in September. “We thrilled!”

Is he worried about bringing a third baby into his already-hectic household? “For the most part, my kids are darlings,” he said. “But at 5 a.m., it can be a little crazy.”

His Happening costars certainly have no doubts about his parenting prowess.

“He’s great with kids,” said Zooey Deschanel, who plays his wife in the film. “Really, really good.”

In fact, that’s what made him perfect for the role (as a science teacher trying to survive a mysterious phenomenon). “When I see Mark Wahlberg, I see the sweet guy who likes to hold the baby,” said director M. Night Shyamalan. “He brings humanity and vulnerability to the screen. In a crisis … that’s the guy you want with you.”

…I’m excited about this film.  I usually like the M. Night Shyamalan films.  Well, all of them save that Lady if the water one… that was just WAY weird.

The Hogan family is coming apart at the seems.  First Daddy dated one of Brooke’s galpals… and now, MOM is dating another one of Brooke’s friends.  Sheesh!  From DListed.com…

20-year-old Brooke Hogan is “totally freaked out” over her 48-year-old mother dating a 19-year-old tool. Yes, that dude is 19. Yes, in human years.

Brooke told E! News, “I personally don’t like it at all or condone it, but she’s my mom, so I have to show her support.” Say what?
Brooke also said that Linda’s new beast-boy or whatever we’re calling him is one of Nick Hogan’s classmates. She went on to say, “I went to school with him. He was a grade under me…Me and Nick know him well. Me and Nick are two years apart, and he was right between us (in school).”
…Maybe this family should stay off the TV and start working on themselves, behind closed doors.  It’s another reality show curse come to life.

More Hogan insanity from TMZ.com…Hulk Hogan almost broke down last night on “Larry King,” but his outrageous behavior over his derelict son’s criminal behavior was in full blossom.

For starters, Hulk said he felt Nick’s accident, which put friend John Graziano in a vegetative state, was God’s plan to make John a better person.

As for Larry…..no questions about Hulk going to Hooters after the sentencing, no questions about rubbing his daughter’s ass, no questions about Linda saying she was the real victim. Oh well.

…”God’s plan to make John a better person?!?!” WOW!  He’s going to regret that one.  What an idiotic thing to say!  MORON!

These two… Whatever works ya know… From People.com…
By Stephen M. Silverman

Britney Spears and Mel Gibson had a smokin’ date Tuesday night – at an exclusive Beverly Hills cigar club.

For more than two-and-a-half hours, the singer, 26, and the actor-filmmaker, 52, met in what was confirmed to PEOPLE as a more of an ongoing guidance session than a business pow-wow.

For their rendezvous at the members-only Havana Club, both showed up separately shortly before 7 p.m., well into the third game of the NBA finals between the L.A. Lakers and the Boston Celtics, which was playing at the bar. As for the smoking and watering hole itself, habitués include Ben Affleck, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone and Danny DeVito.

When Spears arrived, her bodyguard drove a Jeep Commander into the underground parking garage, and she exited with her blonde hair up and pulled back by a white headband. Also with Spears were her assistant Brett and a bodyguard.

“She looked pretty in her new Capri jeans a blue blouse, white shoes and a brown bag,” says a photographer. Earlier in the day, Spears was seen shopping at the Lisa Kline boutique in Beverly Hills, where she purchased the new jeans and tried on several necklaces.

“Britney looked like a doll with bright red lipstick,” added the photog, who described her as “very quiet” and “with a serious look on her face as she walked in to the Havana Club.”

By contrast, an upbeat Gibson left his silver Lexus with the valet and walked in holding what was described as a “man-purse” up to his face and a look of “okay, you got me” as paparazzi snapped his picture.

Around 9:30, Spears left the club for home, while Gibson hung around until about 11.

The two – once neighbors inside a Malibu enclave (Spears now lives in a gated community in Studio City) – began being seen in public together in March, at dinner in a restaurant. It was then learned that Gibson and his wife, Robin, had been looking in on Spears once she had checked out the hospital in February.

In May, Gibson and his wife, and Spears and her father, all vacationed together in Costa Rica.

…Hey, if he can help her out… then I’m all for it.  And who doesn’t love a good hang at a Cigar Bar?

The collection of bras, undies, sleepwear and daywear will hit major department stores and online shopping sites just in time for spring ‘09. Jessica tells Women’s Wear Daily, “I like different lingerie for different occasions. I think that’s the best thing about it. You can feel sexy or girly depending on your mood.” She also promises to included a stylish assortment of shapewear so women no longer need to worry about panty lines.

…I have to admit…whenever I’m shopping and see a cute pair of shoes, and then notice the Jessica Simpson name on them…I put them down and walk away.  I just can’t bring myself to do it.

Speaking of babies…there’s more on the way.  From People.com…
By Brenda Rodriguez

With two toddlers already keeping him busy, Mark Wahlberg is getting ready to add a third child to the mix.

And the 37-year-old actor and his longtime girlfriend Rhea Durham, 29, may not stop there.

“When the kids are good, we want eight or nine,” Wahlberg said Monday in L.A. while promoting his new film, The Happening. “When they’re bad, we [want] to stop at three.”

The couple also have a daughter, Ella, 4 and a son Michael, 2, and Wahlberg (who didn’t disclose Durham’s due date) says having a full house is “awesome.”

“Hectic at times,” he admits. “But a lot of fun.”

In The Happening, Wahlberg plays a science teacher in the new thriller, out June 13, trying to stay alive against a mysterious and deadly phenomenon.

But the actor says his own fears are far more real.

“My fear is failing as a father, as a friend, as a son. I have a lot of responsibility and a lot of people counting on me,” he says. “And I know God has put me in this position to put back and try to create some opportunities for some others, show kids there is another way.”

…They seem to be spacing them out nicely.  Every two years there is another one on the way.  That oughta to make High School fun for the kids.  Nothing like going to school with a sibling.

Sadness.  One of my favorite shows got cancelled.  :(  From Justjared.com…

Courteney Cox Arquette just revealed that her FX series, Dirt, will not be renewed for a third season. It got the axe!

“It just got canceled,” Cox told TV Guide yesterday at a charity event in Los Angeles. (Season 2 was cut short by the WGA strike.)

But this won’t put a damper on her and husband David’s producing dreams.

“We’re developing all kinds of stuff right now,” she said. “We’ll be producing more stuff together, for sure.”
…guess I’ll be watching more Law & Order then.  Sigh…

Joe Simpson is now doing PR to save his own name.  From UsWeekly…

In the wake of Us Weekly’s cover story that Jessica Simpson’s controlling father was the main source behind her May split from Tony Romo, Joe Simpson tells “Extra” he’s not the controlling father he’s made out to be.
“The media says that I try to plan everything - If I had half of the power they give me…They [Ashlee and Jessica] don’t call me and ask me. They call me and tell me.”
He adds that Jessica “… is as happy as I’ve seen her in years.” and gushes about the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, “He’s a great guy. I love Tony to death….He’s just a good kid….”

Joe tells Extra that the public has many misconceptions about him as his daughters’ manager. “For all those people thinking I’m sipping Piña Coladas on the beach and enjoying millions of dollars and having this great life – Bull..I work seven days a week, 24/7.”
Simpson, who officiated daughter Ashlee’s wedding to Pete Wentz, says, “I love Pete to death…He has a patient spirit and a kind heart…I’m honored to have Pete as my son-in-law.”
Although Simpson tells “Extra” that the sex of Ashlee’s baby, which will be his first grandchild is unknown, “I would love to have a boy, but I know how to raise girls so I’m good with that.”

…Maybe it is all misconceptions, but this guy still makes me a feel a little bit creepy.  But say what you will, he’s created an empire off of two mediocre girls.  And that’s worth an “attaboy.”

Oh how I love this show!  Its the ultimate celeb-reality show.  Dr Drew’s Celebrity rehab 2!  Yes!  It’s coming back!  Here’s some on set scoop from DListed.com…

“Celebrity Rehab 2” started production yesterday at Dr. Drew’s facility in Pasadena, CA and most of the cast members have been identified. Jeff Conaway who was in the first “Celebrity Rehab” is back! He should just move in there permanently. I’m just going to assume that Jeff will be in every season. He’s a crowd pleaser. There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned Conaway detox to kick off a show!
The rest of the cast includes Rodney King (”Can’t we all just get along”), Nikki McKibbin (American Idol), Tawny Kitaen (original video ho)

, Amber Smith (model), Steven Adler (Guns N’ Roses), Sean Stewart (son of Rod) and Gary Busey.

Busey + Conaway + Detoxing = GOLD!

Heidi Fleiss, Aaron Carter and Sebastian Bach were all rumored to be part of the cast at one point. The NY Post reports Heidi dropped out at the last minute. She probably couldn’t be without her 10 million parrots.
The new season premieres in October.
…I’m setting my DVR tonight!

While some may like the idea of a naked Pam Anderson, all I can say is EW!!  From USWeekly…

For Hugh Hefner’s 82nd birthday in April, Pam Anderson surprised him with cake … in the nude.
“I think it was the perfect surprise for him,” The Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson told Usmagazine.com at a Celebrity Family Feud taping Saturday in L.A. “Come on, Pam Anderson, walking out with a cake naked … what can get better than that?”
Added Holly Madison, “I felt like I shouldn’t look because I know her, and she walked out naked! So I was, like, looking around, trying not to look there!”

Nevertheless, the girls still did their best to top Anderson’s gift.

“We gave him chocolate body parts,” Wilkinson said. “We molded our body parts and gave it to him, and he ate them all.
…Yeah…um… EW!  What a crazy world they live in.  Multiple girlfriends, and some other chick showing up naked at your “old man’s” bday party… and they’re all ok with it.  NO way… not me… not in a million years!

Jessica Alba finally becomes a Mommy.  From People.com…

Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren have welcomed a baby girl.

Honor Marie Warren was born June 7 in Los Angeles, her rep, Brad Cafarelli, confirms. This is the couple’s first child.

Alba, 27, and Warren, 31, quietly wed on May 19 at the Beverly Hills courthouse. The two met while working on Fantastic Four, for which Warren was the director’s assistant. They became engaged last December.

The actress recently did some last-minute shopping for baby gear at Bel Bambini on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles, picking up items such as Born Free baby bottles and a Boppy pillow for breastfeeding.

“She seemed relaxed,” says a source, “and ready to welcome home her baby.”

As for the kind of parent she plans to be, the actress recently told Fit Pregnancy that she’ll walk the line between tough and nurturing. “I don’t want to be my child’s best friend. I want to be a mom,” she said. “But I do want my child to come to me when they have problems and need to talk, so it’s going to be about treading that line.”

…She makes it sound easy… but it’s a whole different ballgame once that child is actually real.  At least that’s what I hear. :)  Best of luck, health, and happiness to them all.

UPDATE:  Her name is Honor Marie Warren.
Pretty.

Someone needs to have a lil talk with Keith Urban before the baby comes.  He doesn’t even know what a a onesie is.  :)  From People.com…• Reporting by SHELLEY AKERS and KAY WEST

Fans are showering dad-to-be Keith Urban with gifts – not that he knows what all of them are.

“We got a tie-dyed jumpsuit thing that we really like,” he said backstage at the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, where he was a surprise performer Friday night at LP Field.

When reporters told him it was likely a “onesie,” Urban, who’s expecting his first child this summer with wife Nicole Kidman, looked puzzled and asked, “A what?”

Sheepishly repeating the new word, he said, “I’m learning a new vocabulary. We also got a tiny T-shirt that says ‘I crawl the line’ that we like a lot.”

Urban was the last act of the night, taking the stage after Faith Hill and after an introduction from hosts Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler, who promised the crowd: “He’s very goodlooking, ladies.”

Urban took the stage in a black T-shirt and jeans, opening with “Days Go By” and immediately going into his next song, “Better Life,” before thanking the crowd.

“I want to say a huge thank you to everybody that has coughed up the most outrageous amount of money per gallon to get gas to come to this festival this year,” he said. “We’re gonna give you a show worth seven bucks a gallon, so you’re making three bucks right there.”

At one point he took off his guitar, autographed it and handed it to a lucky fan while walking through the screaming audience.

“My kinda crowd right there,” he said.

On the hot night in Nashville (temperatures were in the 90s), Nicole Kidman remained out of sight, but not out of Urban’s mind.

Backstage, the singer told reporters, “I love having her with me when I tour, but at the same time, it’s work. You don’t want to ask too much of your family.” And as for bringing baby on the road, he said: “We’ll just have to see what works for us.”

…”crawl the line”  LOL!  That’s precious!

Nolan Bushnell is considered to be one of the founding fathers of electronic gaming, founding Atari, Inc and the Chuck E. Cheese’s Pizza-Time Theaters chain.

How’s this for a double date.  Two Princes & their ladies hit the town.  From People.com…By Simon Perry• Reporting by MONIQUE JESSEN

Princes William and Harry proved that they’re a hit with the ladies – by taking their girlfriends on a double date to a boxing match.

William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton, 26, winced and appeared squeamish as one of their best friends, James “The Badger” Meade, took a whack in a charity fight Saturday night.

With the prince, 25, opting to stand on a chair at his table, his girlfriend of five years (wearing an Issa dress) caught the action ringside. Unfortunately, their shouts of “Badger, Badger” failed to spur Meade to victory in his bout.

Meanwhile, double-daters Harry, 23, and Chelsy Davy, 22, sat at an adjoining table, alongside Holly Branson, the daughter of Virgin tycoon Sir Richard.

William’s table included Jessica “Jecca” Craig – who has been linked with the prince in the past, and was there to support her boyfriend Hugh “The Hitman” Crossley. (There seemed no animosity between Middleton and Craig, who were spotted chatting happily).

A Perfect Evening

The fights were part of the Boodles Boxing Ball, an evening of entertainment benefiting the Starlight charity, which grants wishes for terminally and seriously ill children. After dinner, cystic fibrosis sufferer Bianca Nicolas got her wish to sing live in front of a live audience – and she got to have a private chat with William, too.

“It was a perfect evening – it had a bit of everything,” organizer Charlie Gilkes told PEOPLE. “It all started quite calmly and quite serious. But when the boxing started it turned raucous.”

The close-to-800 guests (who coughed up $200 a ticket) then danced until 3 a.m. to the DJ Rusty Egan.

The next day, Harry took to the polo field in Cirencester, Gloucestershire – with Davy cheering him on from a blue gazebo tent. (The two split briefly last November, but reunited after Harry’s tour of duty in Afghanistan.) Alas, Harry’s Umbogo team lost to Laird.

The event, sponsored by The Dorchester hotel, benefited two of Harry’s favorite causes: Sentebale and MapAction. It also benefited a charity established in honor of a late friend, Henry van Straubenzee.

…Boxing and fancy dresses… interesting match.  But when will we have a royal wedding?

I bet when you woke up today, you never thought TODAY would be the day!  The very day that Diddy changes his name AGAIN!  GIVE US A FREAKIN BREAK DIDDY!  We don’t care!  From UsWeekly…

So long P. Diddy, Diddy, Sean John, and Puffy.

Sean Combs has started using his Puff Daddy namesake again – over a decade after he achieved stardom with the moniker.

“They call me Puff Daddy… he’s back,” the mogul raps on the remix of O’Neal McKnight’s single “Check Your Coat.” (McKnight is Combs’ former stylist.)
“Yeah you heard me right – I said Puff Daddy,” he continues. “I’m about to back on that Puff Daddy sh*t.”

Combs also posted on his MySpace page: “This is your boy Puff Daddy!!! Yes Puff Daddy.”

…So, whenever he isn’t getting enough attention he changes his name.  LAME!!
