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.)

This month’s issue of Harper’s Bazaar was distributed today with the semi-controversial photo layout of a very pregnant Britney Spears. I say semi-controversial because hasn’t Demi Moore been there, done that…like in 1991? Britney’s photoshoot has less of a scandalous impact.

But! I think she’ looks fabulous in these photos! She almost looks like the Britney we used to know and love (well.. except for the bump, but still!). She even thinks so - in her interview she states: “It made me want to cry a little bit, doing these photos. I started feeling like myself again. I was a little held back at first. I didn’t know if I wanted to go there, because … you know. But when I put it on, I thought, God, this is beautiful”

Here’s hoping that Britney starts feeling like herself more and more!

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.
6. Speculation continues over whether Tori Spelling is pregnant, or not?. Oh why not? Everyone else in Hollywood is doing it.
7. Here’s a sweet and cute picture of Brooke Sheilds with her baby girl, Grier.
8. In case you were wondering why Brad Pitt wasn’t at the Canne’s Film Festival (you WERE wondering, I know) - he skipped it because of the impending birth of the young Brangelina. Aww - - good dad.
9. Denise Richards is going for broke - - and won’t end up broke at all if she gets her way in going after Charlie Sheen’s pension. Wow!

In other Brangelina news, the question of whether or not Brad Pitt is going to sign his contract for Oceans 13 is still up in the air.

George Clooney is reportedly getting very nervous because Pitt has not comitted to the project yet.

Pitt is currently holed up in Namibia with Angelina Jolie and their two adopted children awaiting the arrival of their baby.

Despite Matt Damon and director Steven Soderburgh committing to the project Pitt has yet to dedicate 100% to the movie which is now only weeks away from kicking off.

A source told the Sun: “Brad has been able to confirm 100 per cent that he will be available – and that’s making George very anxious.

I’ll just say this - - while I would miss Pitt in Oceans 13 . . the man has a responsibility at home. I will respect him more if he stays with Angelina during and after the birth of their child, rather than going off to make the movie - leaving Agnelina and the new baby alone.

The man has gotta take care of his bidness, yo.

What do you think? Should he stay with Angelina or make the movie? Give your answer in our poll in the NEW Diva Dish Celebrity Gossip Forum

Is the world ready? I really don’t think so. I mean, come on - let’s give the poor girl a break, shall we? Sean Preston is all of, what… 6, maybe 8, months old? PLUS, she’s preggers with her second baby so soon after giving birth to the first. Girlfriend is allowed a few rolls here and there, isn’t she?

Let’s face it - - out here in flyover country, it’s more than a little satisfying to see our sex-pot Britney looking a little…flabby. Com’On - - admit it! Just for a split second - it’s satisfying, isn’t it?

But for her to do a film with a nude scene?? We’re not ready… hell, she’s not ready! Let’s just hope it’s not anytime soon!

Poor Brit. Maybe she’s really happy, deep down? Maybe we’ve got it all wrong and her life isn’t on a path of utter self-destruction??

Then again, maybe she needs to ditch KFed . .re-invent herself in a SERIOUS way.. put out a killer album, do a nude scene in a movie with George Clooney and get a nose job. Hell, the rest of Hollywood is doing it!

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)
13. Celebrity Birthdays on this Thursday Thirteen day: Actor Ryan O’Neal is 65, Actress Jessica Lange is 57, Actor Crispin Glover is 42, Actress Carmen Electra is 34, Actor Joey Lawrence is 30, Actor Clint Howard is 47, Country singer Wade Hayes is 37.

Some bumps, some bumps… some lovely lady bumps;

Davina McCallavina McCall announced that she is expecting her third child. She told Grazia Magazine:”I was very nervous about the news coming out before my 12-week check-up. But the scan was fine so I can let it all hang out, which believe you me, I will be.”

Kate Garraway announced that she was with child shortly after marrying hubby Derek Draper…. And daughter Darcey was arrived in the world on March 10th, weighing 8lb 3oz.

Angelina Jolie is expecting Brad Pitt’s baby. She confirmed rumours that she was expecting in January and is thought to be due sometime in the spring:

SHHH! Katie Holmes is having a baby soon:

The best dressed Bumpage™ in Hollywood, hands down: Gwen Stefani:

Rachel Weisz won an Oscar for her performance in The Constant Gardener but there’s another production she’s also rather proud of…

Nothing comes between Brooke Sheilds and her Bumpage™ :
