Angelina Pregnant!?, Jessica To Be A Bond Girl?

Life & Style magazine claims they have exclusive new evidence that actress ANGELINA JOLIE is now pregnant.

According to the reports, when Jolie returned to the set of her latest film “The Good Shepherd” in early December for a few days of re-shoots after a two-month break, the crew immediately noticed a problem -- The costumes no longer fit over the actress’ suspicious stomach bump.

“Her body had changed so much,” an on-set insider tells the magazine, “that her wardrobe had to be refitted to give her extra room in the tummy area. Several dresses had to be altered.”

Raising even more suspicion, “Angelina nearly fainted several times and had to be taken off to the side to rest,” says the insider. “People on set were thinking, She’s obviously pregnant! All signs point to that.”

Jolie already has two adopted children, MADDOX and ZAHARA and has been reportedly involved in a torrid love affair with her ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith' co-star BRAD PITT.

COURTNEY’S BROKE AND DESPERATE
December 26, 2005

According to the New York Post, COURTNEY LOVE -- the widow of rock legend KURT COBAIN -- is now trying to cash in on Nirvana, because she's apparently flat broke.

In the reports, Love is so desperate that she wants to raise cash by selling her rights to the song catalog of her late husband and his band Nirvana.

The troubled grunge diva, who has been battling drug addiction for the past year, is on the verge of bankruptcy and sources say Love, whose Crosby Street apartment was in foreclosure earlier this year, is asking for $100 million for the exclusive rights on the extensive collection of songs -- which includes classic tracks 'Smells Like Teen Spirit', 'Come As You Are' and 'All Apologies'.

This should come as salt in the wounds of the other Nirvana members DAVE GROHL, KRIST NOVOSELIC and CHAD CHANNING, who fought with Love for years over control of the songs and over royalties.

December 26, 2005

Singer GWEN STEFANI has confirmed reports she is expecting her first child with British rocker GAVIN ROSSDALE.

According to Yahoo! News, the ‘No Doubt’ singer announced her pregnancy at a concert in Florida Wednesday night, encouraging fans to sing along to her hit "Crash" so her unborn child could hear.

She hollered at her fans, "I want you to say it loud enough so the baby hears it. This is the end of a huge chapter for me."

Stefani, 36, married Bush guitarist Rossdale, 38, in 2002. She is reportedly due to give birth in June.

Rossdale already has a 16-year-old daughter, DAISY LOWE, from a fling with fashion designer PEARL LOWE -- although his paternity was only confirmed last year.

December 26, 2005

Hollywood.com reports that celebrity socialite PARIS HILTON is hoping to distance herself from being branded as the world's worst dog owner, by purchasing two new puppies.

Hilton recently acquired the undesirable title from magazines ‘The New York Dog’ and ‘Hollywood Dog’, days before the PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) named her as the worst dressed celebrity for her affinity for wearing fur.

But 24-year-old Hilton, who already counts a ferret, a kinkajou monkey and a goat among her list of pets, is undeterred and recently purchased two Chihuahua puppies, TOKYO BLUE and HARAJUKU BITCH during a trip to Japan.

She says, "That's it, no more pets for now."

AUSTIN POWERS GETS DIVORCED
December 26, 2005

Yet another Hollywood couple has fallen victim to the holiday break-up blues. The Associated Press reports that actor MIKE MYERS and his wife of 12-years, ROBIN RUZAN, are ending their marriage.

On Friday, a spokeswoman announced in a statement, "They remain committed and caring friends".

Myers, known for his skits in NBC's "Saturday Night Live," also starred in the popular "Austin Powers" and "Wayne's World" films, and voiced the friendly green ogre in the "Shrek" movies.

The 42-year-old actor-comedian and Ruzan, a writer and actress, were married in May 1993. They have no children.

CHILD ACTOR CAUGHT IN HERION BUST
December 26, 2005

The LA Times reports that former child actor BRAD RENFRO was arrested for attempting to buy heroin.

"Apt Pupil" star, 23, was caught in a Los Angeles Police Department sting operation when he tried to purchase the illegal drug from an undercover officer.

An LAPD Detective says, "He was intending to buy real heroin from an undercover officer." Fourteen other people were arrested in the random sting.

But this isn’t Renfro’s first run in with the law. In 1998, he was arrested for possessing cocaine and cannabis, but made a plea deal which kept him out of prison. In January 2001, he was given two years probation for trying to steal a 45-foot yacht. Later that same year, he was arrested and charged with underage drinking.

His big break came as the child star opposite SUSAN SARANDON in “The Client”, now he’ll soon be a client again in real life.

PARIS THROWN OUT AND EXTORTED
December 26, 2005

According to In Touch Weekly, celebrity socialite PARIS HILTON was told to leave the club LAX in Beverly Hills for talking trash to her sister NICKY about her former best friend, NICOLE RICHIE.

Unfortunately for Paris, Richie just happens to be the ex-fiancé of LAX founder and DJ, ADAM GOLDSTEIN (aka DJ AM)

“No one will admit it,” an insider told the magazine, “but Paris is now banned from LAX.”

In spite, Hilton reportedly gave negative reviews of the club to the reporters outside. As she stormed out of Club LAX Tuesday night on her way to Mood for a "holiday party" she told a reporter, "LAX is the worst club in the world... It's full of D-list celebrities."

In more serious news, the New York Post reports that Hilton feared for her life, believing the same thugs who brutalized "Girls Gone Wild" producer JOE FRANCIS were coming after her.

In court, the soft-core porn producer testified that a masked gunman and accomplice broke into his lavish Bel Air mansion on January 22, 2004, in a case that went unsolved until Hilton tipped cops to key information that led to an arrest.

According to Francis, Hilton revealed to him in late 2004 that she overheard on the Hollywood party scene that suspect DARNELL RILEY, 28, and another man were responsible for the terrifying home-invasion, the producer said.

"Paris Hilton pulled me aside at a party. 'I'm being extorted by Darnell Riley for $20,000 a month and he's threatened to kill me if I don't pay,'" Francis quoted the hotel heiress during a cross-examination at Riley's preliminary hearing.

Riley is accused of robbing Francis inside his home and forcing the porn producer at gunpoint to perform demeaning sex acts on himself, which he videotaped. Oh, the irony!

STARS IN SPACE
December 26, 2005

Pop star MOBY is set to become the first musician to go into space.

The singer will make history after booking a seat on billionaire RICHARD BRANSON’s 'Virgin Galactic' space flight.

According to the FemaleFirst website, the star reportedly paid $207,000 for the privilege and plans to make the voyage -- which has been scheduled for sometime in 2010.

CARMEN ELECTRA’s husband - Jane's Addiction guitarist DAVE NAVARRO - has also reserved a seat on a later flight.

‘LOST’ STAR GOES BERSERK
December 26, 2005

E! Online reports that 'Lost' star MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ went berserk after she was arrested for drunk driving in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago. Rodriguez, who ironically plays a police officer on 'Lost', was pulled over late on December 1st, after her black Mercedes was spotted weaving across the road. After failing a field sobriety test, she was arrested.

Police reports claim that Rodriguez was "argumentative and rude" to the arresting officer when she was arrested for posting a 0.145 blood alcohol content, twice the legal limit.

According to the report, Rodriguez screamed, "I don't f*cking belong here! Why don't you just put a gun to my head and shoot me! You've already taken my freedom! You might as well take my life too. (Why don’t you) just take my car and I'll walk all the way to the North Shore, but don't leave me in the back of this car, poppie."

Later, at the police station where Rodriguez was allowed to use her cell phone to make bail calls, she "continually hit herself in the head and punched at the wall in the interview room," according to the police report. She settled down, however, after having her mug shot taken.

BRITNEY SUES FOR $20 MILLION
December 26, 2005

Pop princess BRITNEY SPEARS has filed a $20 million libel lawsuit against Us Weekly, charging that the celebrity magazine published a false story reporting she and husband KEVIN FEDERLINE had made a sex tape.

According to the Associated Press, the lawsuit seeks $10 million in libel damages and $10 million for misappropriating the 24-year-old pop singer's name and image to promote sales. It also seeks additional unspecified punitive damages.

"We have a very credible source and we stand by our story," Us Weekly spokesman said Tuesday in a statement.

According to the lawsuit, the article claimed that Spears and Federline feared the release of a secret sex tape, which they had viewed with their estate planning lawyers.

The article stated that Spears gave a copy of the tape to the lawyers and that she and her husband were "acting goofy the whole time" while watching the video.

"There was no laughter, disgust or goofy behavior while watching the video in the company of lawyers because they did not watch any video, and because there is no such video," the lawsuit stated.

Spears reportedly went to court after Us Weekly refused her request for a retraction, saying it stood by the story.

Spears and Us Weekly also tangled in February after the magazine published pictures of her October honeymoon in the Fiji Islands.

She issued a statement criticizing the magazine for publishing photos taken by resort staff members. Us Weekly responded with its own statement saying Spears had sold pictures of her wedding and stepdaughter to publications.

Us Weekly suggested, "Britney Spears should start a magazine if she'd like to dictate her own coverage."

ENRIQUE'S GRANDPA FATHERS CHILD AND DIES AT 90
December 26, 2005

The Melbourne Herald Sun newspaper reports that Latin singer ENRIQUE IGLESIAS' 90-year-old grandfather JULIO IGLESIAS SR. died Monday -- only days after it was announced his current wife, 42, was expecting their second child.

"My wife [RONNA KNEIT] wanted it, and I owed it to her," he said of the pregnancy. "It was an act of generosity towards her. I leave her part of my blood, of my life. I need her so much that I said to her 'Here, this is what you wanted for when I am gone.'"

His wife reportedly underwent fertility treatment in order to conceive. Iglesias Sr, who was a former gynaecologist, died of a heart attack in a Madrid hospital.

FIDDY’S PARENTING WAYS
December 26, 2005

Britain's Top Of The Tops website reveals that gangsta rapper, 50 CENT, has some interesting techniques on bringing up his young son.

According to Fiddy, "My son is nine years old and I play my video game with him. We turn on the music and turn down the volume of the TV because there's a lot of swearing in the game."

The ‘Candy Shop’ rapper is also quoted as saying, "My son watches R-rated films all the time, with me present so I can explain what he's seeing. Now, if you leave him by himself, he's going to assume the wrong thing."

He continued, "He has a computer in his room and he has Internet access. I came in and he was logged on to an adult site. You've got to understand that the kid has access to all these things and his curiosity is there now - keeping him sheltered is putting him in danger."

And what did the gangsta role model get his son for Christmas? My guess is a mini bulletproof vest to match his lunchbox.
