There’s just SO MUCH celeb gossip going around, it’s impossible to keep up with it on. I just don’t know how some folks do it – - although, I know some of them do this celebrity gossip blogging thing full time. So, I thought – once a week, I’d do a round up to kind of bring myself up to speed on all the goings on in celebrity gossip blogging that’s going on out there and share some link love with some of the favs I have in celeb gossiping.

On to the round up for this week – here’s Thirteen Celebrity Gossip Bits (as a part of my (celebrity)Final Thursday Thirteen fun!):

• PopSugar has their own celebrity linkfest going on!
• Ain’t it great how Tina Turner continues to turn heads … even at the age of 64?? – Mollygood

• Dreamworks apologizes for DreamGirls – Now that the Oscar ballot deadline has passed, the DreamWorks publicity team can safely shift its focus from designing Dreamgirls ads aimed at reminding Academy voters of frequently latex-hampered thespian Eddie Murphy’s mastery of the awards-baiting man-cry to ones like this full-pager that appeared in today’s Variety, publicly apologizing for the confusing dramatic license the film may have taken with the Motown story…Defamer
• Catch yourself up to date on the Anna Nicole Smith drama – and feel your brain melt, one brain cell at a time. TMZ.Com

On to the round up for this week – here’s Thirteen Celebrity Gossip Bits (as a part of my (celebrity)Thursday Thirteen fun!):

• Anna Nicole talks about her mother and gives some good reasons why Anna wouldn’t want her mother having anything to do with her baby, Dannielynn, or involved with any decisions about where Anna should be buried. Via Gone Hollywood – OTB
• Is Jennifer Aniston dating a new guy named Mike? I’m Not Obsessed has some of the details
• With everybody and their brother (well, in this case, sister) giving their two cents on the abrupt and mysterious passing of Anna Nicole Smith, the circumstances surrounding her death seem to be getting more complicated. Bonnie Stern, the sister of Anna’s partner, Howard K., claims that she spoke with her brother on the day of Anna’s death and that he was not with Smith when she died – more at A Socialite’s Life
• Sometimes it’s not easy being one of the most famous couples on the planet. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have bailed on Los Angeles and returned to their recently purchased home in the Big Easy and according to a report Brad and Angelina are getting into the spirit of their new hometown, New Orleans. There is one problem, though. As they try to fit in and relax with the every day people the crowds can turn into a mob. – see related photos at Gossip or Truth

• You don’t have to look far to see Beyonce’s cover on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition – - but THIS is just WRONG!
• Donald Trump must be getting extremely desperate for media attention … he has lowered himself to dipping into Kevin Federline’s bag of tricks and is now using the WWE to drum up publicity presumably for his failing TV show(s) … and it’s sooooooooooo sad – via Pink is the new blog
• Daniel Radcliffe’s new play Equis premieres tonight in which he allegedly gets completely naked on stage for 10 minutes – via The Superficial

Isn’t this story just TOO good to give up? I’m having waayyy too much fun with this!

For a fun Thursday Thirteen twist this week (even though this is actually Friday) – Here’s 13 events on Brit and Kevin’s Wild Ride thus far – in short summary form:

1. Sept. 18, 2004: Marries Federline, 26.
2. May 2005: Spears and Federline star in their own UPN reality show, “Britney and Kevin: Chaotic,” featuring private home videos.
3. Sept. 14, 2005: Gives birth to Sean Preston Federline.
4. Feb. 7: Photos of Spears driving her car with infant son Sean Preston on her lap are published. Authorities visit home to investigate.
5. April 1: Sean Preston falls from his high chair; authorities return to her home.
6. May 9: Confirms second pregnancy on “Late Night With David Letterman.”
7. May 19: Almost drops baby in stumble in front of media as she holds child in one hand and glass of water in another. Later seen in tears.
8. June 15: In a wide-ranging, rambling interview with Matt Lauer on “Dateline,” a pregnant Spears says her marriage is “awesome,” blames media scrutiny for making her an “emotional wreck.” Later mocked for incessant gum chewing, sobbing, and overdone makeup.
9. June 29: Appears nude on cover of Harper’s Bazaar.
10. Sept. 12: Gives birth to another baby boy, declines to release name.
11. October 31: Appears Federline’s debut album. It does not top the charts.
12. Nov. 6: Newly trim Spears appears on “Late Night With David Letterman” sans wedding ring.
13. Nov. 7: Files for divorce.

So she informs him of the divorce via text message – which is classic and perfect! WHILE he’s taping a LIVE television interview – - serves him right. Can I see a show of hands that divorce was KFeds ultimate goal the whole time? A divorce from Brit could prove lucrative – - we’ll have to see how much water that prenup holds!

Funnily enough – KFed can’t catch a break at all! At his recent “concert” (and I use that term as loosely as possible) – a very desperate KFed can’t even GIVE the tickets away! at the House of Blues in Chicago – - after a very depressing 20% turnout the prior weekend in New York.

T]he crowd was pretty much wasted–there was a whole group of people dressed up AS K-Fed who could barely stand up by the time he actually came onstage. But when he did, the place went a little nuts. After a few songs, a some people were shouting Britney’s name and some guys were shouting FED-EX and had signs. Eventually, the guy K-Fed raps with said, “Yeah, we have FedEx accounts… and for all you haters, thanks for supporting our cause!” At which point the place erupted in laughter because NOBODY PAID FOR THEIR TICKETS! It was like a $2 “convenience fee” or something, but HoB was giving them away online. Kevin also made some crack about “keeping the Ferrari,” which illuminated a rather sad aspect of his whole show–the guy’s got a TON of lyrics about his high-spending lifestyle. Which the entire world knows is now OVER … He and the guy he raps with were both inviting everybody to the afterparty at Cabaret (I hope you get a report from that… yikes), and Kevin made a few remarks about the fine ladies of Chicago, how we should come to the party because he’s a free man now. Stay away! The world doesn’t need more K-Fed offspring! K-Fed started getting a little agitated, it seemed, toward the end of the show. I think people were yelling stuff at him, and there were definitely projectiles–beer cans, a sweatshirt, a blown up condom balloon bouncing around. Everybody was pretty much egging him on and heckling him all night.

Ha!

In reponse to Brit’s divorce filing – KFed responded with seeking sole legal custody of his kids – along with spousal support. In coming days, Federline and his lawyer will have to decide whether to contest the couple’s prenuptial agreement, as well as negotiate a temporary support and custody arraignment.

Funny note – their “arrangement” states that KFed is able to keep any money recieved off the sales of any pictures, photos or videos of the two of them, or their family. This weekend, Brit gave away pictures of her new baby boy, Jayden James, for FREE – - stopping any plans Federline had for selling or profiting off those pictures in any way. How’s that for a final bitch slap in the face.

In all seriousness? I feel sorry for those two kids, quite honestly. It sounds like they are in for one helluva custody battle – and what kid needs to go through that? I really hope Britney can get her shizz together after these last two years of completely and total stupidity. I hope she stays out of the dating game – - concentrates mostly on raising her kids and cleans up her life a bit. Hey Brit – there ain’t no do overs!

As for KFed? His Post-Britney Outlook is pretty bleak!

—————————–

For the Thirteeners out there – - and the curious Thirteeners:

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Whitney Houston has filed for divorce from her husband, Bobby Brown. Like we didn’t see this coming… like … a decade ago? Crack is whack.. and so is Bobby, apparently.
2. And so.. unto us a child is born . . . and unfortunately for the world, it’s another Spederline. Yep – Britney Spears and Kevin Federline welcome their new baby boy into the world. And there was much rejoicing. yaay.
3. Speaking of Spederlines, today is Sean Preston’s birthday
4. Eminem is releasing a new album
5. Lindsey Lohan seems to enjoy flashing her cootchie to the public. She really enjoys it – - she’s done it Twice! NOT WORK SAFE – - or brain safe, for that matter – don’t say I didn’t warn you!
6. The death of Anna Nicole Smith’s son has been deemed unnatural.
7. But! Congrats to Anna Nicole on the birth of her new baby girl
8. Seems Hulk Hogan’s son made this mess out of his dad’s Lamborghini – - Don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want to be that kid when Hulk found out!
9. Sean Penn, has raised the ire of local canadian politicians after allowing his anti-Bush sentiments to get the better of him, and lighting up during a press conference.
10. J.K. Rowling challenges airport security when they try to make her check her handwritten manuscript of the latest Harry Potter book (either it was made entirely out of liquid or they just wanted to know if she killed off Harry or not).
11. The mother of a missing child committed suicide one day after giving an interview to CNN’s Nancy Grace. “Nancy Grace and the others, they just bashed her to the end,” Duckett’s grandfather Bill Eubank said Tuesday. “She wasn’t one anyone ever would have thought of to do something like this. She and that baby just loved each other, couldn’t get away from each other. She wouldn’t hurt a bug.”
12. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have FINALLY set a wedding date. You can all relax now.
13. Us Magazine reports: Celebrity Moms are not human

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Former N’Sync singer, Lance Bass, has come out of the closet and a public confession of his gayness. Well, duh. Like we didn’t see that coming from a mile away.. like 5 years ago. Now, what I want to see is some People Magazine covers of celebrities who are straight with cover headlines that say “I’m NOT Gay” or “Hey, I like having sex with people of the opposite sex!” or soemthing.. just to even out the waters here.
2. Britney Spears is having a difficult second pregnancy
3. Heath Ledger to start as the joker in the new Batman franchise. I can totally envision this!
4. The Anti-Napster, RIAA honeys, Metallica, has sold out to iTunes
5. Is Nicole Kidman pregnant? Or is it just another Hollywood pregnancy rumor?
6. Tori Spelling is being cut out. “Despite reports that Tori Spelling would inherit millions from her father’s $500 million estate, Us has learned exclusively that the actress, 33, will get just 0.16 % of the Spelling fortune. Tori’s share – a cash inheritance payment of $200,000, combined with approximately $600,000 in private investments her dad set up for her – is a brush-off Aaron Spelling would never have intended for his only daughter, says a family source. “I believe Candy had a lot to do with what was left for Tori,” the source says of Tori’s mother, who is sole managing executor of the estate. (Candy’s rep had no comment.)
   “
7. Justin Timberlake has a new sexy vidoe out called SexyBack Click here to watch
8. More pregnancy rumors: it’s rumored that Ashanti is pregnant with Nelly’s baby.
9. Kevin Federline’s official site is coming soon Though you’d all want to know.
10. The Marshall family vows to keep fighting Anna Nicole for her dead husband’s money.
11. Let the biological overshadowing of Maddox and Zahara begin. Madame Tussauds New York has created a wax figure of only Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to be added to the Brangelina display.
12. Pamela Anderson re-married rocker Kid Rock in St-Tropez.
13. Happy Birthday to: TV producer Norman Lear is 84, Actor Jerry Van Dyke (Coach ) is 75, Actress Roxanne Hart (Chicago Hope ) is 54, Singer Juliana Hatfield is 39, Actor Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck ) is 38, Singer Pete Yorn is 32

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Paris Hilton parks in spaces reserved for the handicapped. Either there is something we don’t know about Miss Hilton and her handicap, or she’s an ass. I put my vote in for ‘ass’.
2. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are denying wedding rumors. They’re planning on leaving Nambia in a few days… hmm, so Brad can start filming Oceans 13?
3. American Idol loser (why do we say runner-up? She’s not the winner.. therefore..?), Katharine McPhee, has signed a record deal with music mogul Clive Davis in conjunction with 19 Recordings Unlimited. (the label is managed by Simon).
4. How many of you could win the trivia question “Who was the Fifth Beatle?” Anyone? Well his name was Billy Preston and he died today at the age of 59. RIP. (of course, the fifth Beatle” has been used, accurately, to describe their bassist, Stuart Sutcliffe, who left the band in 1962, and died of a brain hemorrhage shortly thereafter. Similarly, their drummer Pete Best (replaced by Ringo Starr when the band got a record contract) is often cited as the “fifth Beatle.” – - so it’s all very confusing)
5. Questions arise about the new The Omen remake of why they are messing with the original? Good damned question!
6. Lawsuits are boiling over in regards to Shiloh Nouvel Joilie-Pitt’s (aka Brangelina spawn) mug shots (aka baby pictures) being published on several websites – - apparently Hello! Magazine (UK) and People Magazine (US) obtained exclusive rights to the pictures and are suing any website who publishes the pictures (aka scoops the aforementioned magazines).
7. Katie Holmes is set to cash in on her wedding to Tom Cruise. “Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes fans may be hearing wedding bells — or maybe the sound of a cash register. The couple reportedly have hammered out a prenuptial agreement that will give Holmes as much as $33 million and that will pave the way for the two to get hitched.

   The happy couple and their lawyers have come up with a contract that will give Holmes $3 million a year up to $33 million for each year that she is married to Cruise, as well as a palatial home in Montecito, California, according to Life & Style Weekly. If the marriage lasts longer than eleven years, the contract becomes void and California’s community property law kicks in — giving Holmes half of Cruise’s rather sizeable fortune.

   She’s getting rich hitched! (ummm… has anyone actually SEEN the baby yet??)

8. Much speculation about Britney Spear’s new man… er.. Manny, as they call him. He’s a nanny. He’s a body guard. He’s cute. He’s built. And.. he already has a girlfriend.. So, he’s not KFed’s replacement – - but we’re still hopefull that Britney will dump KFed and move on with her life – - because any life without KFed is a better life, indeed.
9. Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are hoping for a press-free wedding. Yea. Right.
10. Almost a year ago, Olivia Newton-John’s boyfriend Patrick Kim McDermott vanished while on an overnight fishing trip, leaving Newton-John, his family and authorities in the dark as to what happened to him, but fearful that he may have fallen overboard to his death. Shortly after, investigations revealed he was having strained relations with his ex wife over outstanding child support payments. Speculation about his own faked death ensued. Drama. Drama. Drama. Now – four separate witnesses claim to have seen him in Mexico since his dissapearance last year. Is Patrick McDermott the new Elvis?
11. Seems American Idol’s Chris Daugherty will not be filling Fuel’s shortage – he’s declined the offer to be the frontman for popular band, Fuel. He must have other plans, eh?
12. Lindsay Lohan has turned into a proper Hollywood Diva now that she quit her new movie called Bill. Reason: The director of the movie is not well enough known.. First time directors are not good enough for the 19 year old upstart. Bitch.
13. Happy Birthday to: Comedian Jerry Stiller is 79, Comedian-talk show host Joan Rivers is 73, Singer Nancy Sinatra is 66, Singer Boz Scaggs is 62, Singer Bonnie Tyler is 53, Actor-director Keenan Ivory Wayans is 48, Keyboardist Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran is 44, Rapper Kanye West is 28.

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Kevin Federline: Male Model?? My eyes DECIEVE me! He took a shower! He got a dorky haircut and put on a suit and is trying to look all GQ here. My opinion? He looks like a smarmy used car salesmen (no offense to any used car salesmen out there. In the interview, he is quoted as saying: “”I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually it’s, ‘How’s the wife and kids?’ Not that I mind; that’s my pride and joy. But it would be nice for people to look at me like an artist. The day they judge me as an artist, a CEO, as somebody, not Britney Spears’ husband, that’s the day I am looking forward to.” . Well – everyone has a right to dream, eh?
2. Mariah Carey wins an award from Gillette for having the best legs. She does have some awesome gams, to be sure!

5. What is it with celebrities who make public claims that they are single and aren’t seeing ’so-and-so’ anymore? Heather Locklear claims she’s not seeing David Spade anymore – and yet here’s a picture of the cute pair on Malibu beach on May 30
6. Here’s the pictures from Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn’s photo shoot with Entertainment Weekly for their movie “The Break Up” – They both look GREAT!
7. Speculation has it that KFed is the source of leaks about Britney to the news and gossip rags. Spears suspects that K-Fed is responsible for some of the leaks to the tabloids about the couple’s private lives. “Britney knows Kevin tells his friends information, knowing they will leak it to tabloids,” a source close to Spears told Us. She has taken to not telling her hubby certain things — including that she was going to announce her pregnancy on David Letterman — for fear the info would be leaked to his buddies. “They sell stories for money. … She is sick of him using her for them to profit.”
8. Paris Hilton states that has a problem with on-screen nudity. No, really. Ha!
9. Natalie Portman, on the other hand, doesn’t have a problem with onscreen nudity
10. Julia Roberts was fired from Dior, but recovered quickly by signing a $4Million a year contract with Avon
11. Sky.com reports that Nicole Richie has put on some weight – and they’ve provided a picture. I’m thinking, judging by the picture? She’s gained… one… maaaaaaybe two whole pounds?

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. The votes are in, the songs are done…it’s all over but the coronation, tonight at 8 p.m. EST on Fox. So who’s the next American Idol? Katherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks belted out three songs each last night, and Simon Cowell, for one, thought it was anybody’s game going into the final song.
2. Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn seem to be keeping their distance from one another lately. I dunno – is it me? I want to see Jen happy, and all – but I just wasn’t very thrilled about this pairing.
3. YIKES! Hair straighteners were made for a reason, Courtney!
4. All of Britney Spears Letters of Truth that were posted to her website at britneyspears.com have been removed (click the ‘Love B’ bubble) – - and replaced with a cryptic poem called Rememberance of Who I Am. Hmm.. vewwwwwy straaange. Should I read between the lines and predict that Kfed’s days are numbered?? One. Can. Only. Hope.
5. Speaking of weird Hollywood couples – - are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes about to call it quits??. So soon? And here we all thought that one would last forever, eh? reportedly got into a big fight — that ended with Holmes deciding to take baby Suri to Ohio to introduce the infant to family and friends.

13. Celeb birthdays today: Musician Bob Dylan is 65, Actor Gary Burghoff (MASH) is 63, Singer Patty Labelle is 62, Actress Priscilla Presley is 61, Actress Kristin Scott Thomas is 46

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Here is a funny as hell video of Paris Hilton’s friend, Brandon Davis, TOTALLY dissing Lindsey Lohan, and Paris is smirking and laughing right along with him. He says things like: Lindsay’s movie bombed because “she is a firecrotch”, saying that “she’s orange, she’s not black or white — she’s orange.” He goes on to say that “she tastes like [Brandon's] Turkish father’s asshole”. Hmm.. why does Brandon know what his father’s turkish asshole tastes like??? Oy!
2. Pictures of Katie Holme’s stretchmarks have been circulating around. She apparently let the paparazzi close enough to snap a picture of her stomach, rife with strech marks. The picture was taken at a baseball park when she was out and about with husband, Tom Cruise. Yet – - STILL no appearance of baby Suri. BUT! She has the stretchmarks to prove she was pregnant, just in case you were still wondering
3. Early reviews of The Da Vinci Code don’t sound very good. But, the reviews came out of Cannes – so it’s entirely possible if they hated it, I’ll probably LOVE it!
4. Janice Dickerson, the self-proclaimed “Worlds First SuperModel” (coughsputter) is counselling Britney Spears to DUMP KFED! Good advice, sister! She says, “I never found him hot at all. But she’s a hick anyway. She needs to get hot again. Stop clomping around in those Malibu flip-flops. … I would tar and feather her first of all, tell her to dump that [bleeping] hick husband of hers. She needs solid advice, and not from Hicksville“
5. Tori Spelling had a quickie shotgun wedding – some say she’s preggers. Et tu, Tori?
6. Pamela Anderson offers up orgasm tits tips - – just in case you needed ‘em.

8. Here’s a few pics of Tori Spelling’s wedding ceremony to Dean McDermott. What do ya give ‘em? A year..more?
9. For the second year in a row, Desperate Housewives list of the most successful women in film, TV, music, sports and fashion. Jessica Alba is No. 2, followed by Lindsay Lohan, Angelina Jolie, Stacy Keibler (“Dancing With the Stars”), Scarlett Johansson, Cameron Diaz, Kate Bosworth, Keira Knightley and singer-actress Christina Milian.
10. Esquire Magazine reveals their sexiest woman of all time – in parts. Six of them. Who is it?
11. All the fuss about Denise Richards and Richie Sambora – - he came out last week and said he didn’t cheat on Heather Locklear with Denise while the two were together, and reports stated he dumped Denise in an effort to make this whole sordid mess go away. And yet, Denise Richards is joining Sambora on tour. Gee, just last week Sambora told his fans, “I am single and ready to party” . . . he doesn’t sound very on the market to me!
12. US Magazine reports that Britney Spears FINALLY gave KFED the ultimatum – - SHAPE UP OR GET OUT!! That’s one step closer to divorce.
13. Usually a meticulously stylish star, Jennifer Lopez spawned a fresh round of baby rumors when she showed up on the red carpet sporting gray roots (hair dye may be dangerous for women during their first trimester). But a source tells Us that the failure to cover up wasn’t because Gray.Lo is pregnant: “It was all down to scheduling a time to see her colorist.”
    “Jennifer has been gray for a long time,” adds another source. “This is nothing recent.” Click for the Grey.Lo picture

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Britney Spears confirmed the horrible news that we were all expecting – she is indeed preggers with KFed’s second spawn. She confirmed the news on an appeareance on Late Night With David Letterman – and she’s looking just a little more than rough – view the apperance for yourself here. She says she will not quit her music career for motherhood, though.. There is still hope, though – there’s still rumors going around that she’s planning a surprise divorce from KFed – but we’re not holding our breath!
2. PETA is protesting in a really disturbing way
3. Tom and Katie go to Washington - still no baby in sight.
4. Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, recovering from a head injury caused by a fall last month in Fiji, has not suffered brain damage, a spokeswoman for the band said Tuesday.

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. Here’s on for the ladies – it seems that Kevin Costner is a bit of an exhibitionist. That news alone is enough to make my day. Allegedly, while getting a massage at a posh spa, Costner grabbed the spa worker while she was giving him a massage, then dropped his towel and masturbated. The worker complained and she GOT FIRED! Now that is wrong, wrong, wrong!
2. Keira Knightley has taken the place of Kate Moss as the new face for French fashionhouse Coco Chanel perfume. Kate Moss lost the deal last year when tabloids printed pictures of the lovely lady with her nose full of cocaine. That’ll do it – - Just Say NO!
3. Angelina Jolie announced that she is not quite 8 months preggers – contradicting tabloid reports that she is about to ‘pop any day now’. You needed that tid bit to complete your day, right?
4. Michelle Rodriguezlands in jail after being convicted of a DUI. When faced with the choice of 100 hours of community service or 5 days in jail, Rodriguez chose jail. Her blood alcohol was 0.17–more than twice the legal limit. This is not her first arrest – A hit and run in 2004, while driving with a suspended license. Three seperate speeding violations in 2005. At some point, you just should hire a driver. I’m just sayin’!
5. Michael Jackson is looking to hook up with rapper 50 Cent on a collaborative effort. I don’t know, I’m going to assume the effort is to remind the world that once upon a time he, too, was black.
6. Maury Povich is being sued for sexual harassement. No woman should have to endure harassement of the sexual kind – - but coming from Maury Povich? It should be a FELONY!
7. Covered on this blog already earlier this week – but it’s worth saying again: Britney is pregnant again. I don’t know why this upsets me so much – - I’d really love to see her drop KFed completely… and here she is having his second spawn. Birth control, people. Birth Control!
8. How do YOU make a quick million in Hollywood? Get famous. Get pregnant. Sell your baby pictures. That, folks, is a one million dollar return on investment in 9 months! You CANNOT do that well on Wall Street!
9. Paris Hilton has won an UGLY award. It’s about damn time, I say! Poor Paris
10. Al Pacino joins the cast of Oceans 13. This is a great move for the Oceans folks. Returning actors include: George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Don Cheadle, Bernie Mac, as well as new leading lady Ellin Barkin. Julia Roberts is not returning to Oceans
11. Michael Jackson look-alike, Terri Hatcher got injured on the set of Desperate Housewives – right eye was injured when a light bulb exploded. Hope she’s ok!
12. John Lennon speaks from the grave in a Pay-Per-View seance that claims contact with Lennon. Seriously, if they are going to televise a seance – - I want to hear from Elvis to debunk all those lads in Vegas claiming to be him!
13. Celebrity birthdays today: Actor Jack Klugman is 84, Announcer Casey Kasem is 74, Guitarist Ace Frehley (Kiss) is 55, Singer Sheena Easton is 47

Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week – with a Diva Twist. Instead of 13 things directly about Me – I have thirteen celebrity facts I’ve run across this week and found to be interesting:

1. In the world of irony, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes welcome the arrival of Suri, the TomKat kitten on the VERY same day that Brooke Sheilds announces arrival of her newborn daughter, Grier. Wasn’t it Tom and Brooke who had words previously about the pros and cons of anti-depressant medications? Let’s see who wins the post-partum depression battle!
2. Britney is all set to sue the makers of the high chair that injured Baby Sean earlier last week. “The chair’s back broke,” a “family insider” explained to the mag. “She’s going to see if there was a fault in the chair.”. K-Fed must be using up her bank account QUICK – - nothing promises a quick buck like a good lawsuit!
3. Is Whitney Houston really gonna kick the crack habit this time? – - What kind of good reality TV is a sober Whitney gonna make? Maybe she’ll go back to singing again – - that is, if she hasn’t fried her vocal chords with all that smack!
4. British Newspaper, The Sun, apologized to Terri Hatcher after publishing that she was doing the nasty in a trailer with guys parked outside her home. In December, Terri Hatcher accepted an undisclosed amount from another tabloid, The Daily Sport, for making the same claims. So, basically – Hatcher is getting paid for not getting laid. I want that job!
5. The latest BUMP watch is on Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – they’ve moved to Nambia, South Africa to have the Brangelina spawn and are considering a Nambian name for the child so little Maddox and Zahara don’t feel weird for having such funky names, themselves. In other Brangelina news – - a judge in California has granted a name change for the children from Jolie to Jolie-Pitt. Brad has officially adopted them – - but hasn’t married their mother yet.
6. Luke Perry is asking for a little restraint…against a woman the actor says is harassing him and his two children, that is. Poor guy
7. Kevin Federline criticizes Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson saying he doesn’t believe in divorce. Shit, if I were married to Britney’s bank account – I wouldn’t believe in divorce either – - I’d be TOTALLY against it!
8. Colin Farrell settled his sex tape fiasco with his ex-girlfriend. Last year, Farrell accused Narain of trying to distribute the tape through an intermediary. He sought general and compensatory damages and demanded that all copies of the tape be returned to him. I’m sure we’ll be seeing it on the internet any day now (ala’ Paris)
9. Cher apologized for not thanking her director EIGHTEEN years ago when she won an Oscar for Best Actress in Moonstruck. She thanked her hairdresser instead, which angered many. Personally, I don’t remember it – - but 18 years later?? Talk about poor timing, Cher!
10. Heather Locklear (who looks outrageously sexy for her age!) is dating David Spade. You know.. I’ve read a lot of commentary on this relationship where no one can see it, imagine it or believe it – -but on some strange level.. I can see it. I wish them the best
11. The famous and infamous heiress is launching a line of cell phone games, with the first expected to be a puzzle game released worldwide this summer. Oh. Gee. I just can’t wait. Can you?
12. Michael Jackson will be releasing a new album soon. Oh. Gee. I just can’t wait. Can you? (it justified repeating for this one)

1. The creator of West Wing, Aaron Sorkin, is in the midst of a scandal with a salacious tell-all from a call girl that includes her two years of allegedly kinky, crack-fueled dalliances with him. Is anyone surprised that a man in Hollywood likes kinky sex and drugs? Yawn
