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)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
• Howard Stern is soon to be a married man. The Shock Jock announced that he and his longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky were set to wed…read more about it at Celebalite

• TMZ.Com has come crazy shiz on the whole Anna Nicole Smith debacle! They are getting all the exclusive, insider stuff - - if you can’t get enough of this story - check out their collection of… news.
• 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
• Hollywood’s most hated blogger, Perez Hilton, makes the topic du jour on “The View”

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!
3. For anyone following VH1’s My Fair Brady - Adrianne Adrianne Curry and Christopher Knight (Peter Brady) finally tied the knot - here’s to wishing them the BEST and hoping they last until summers end
4. See this picture?. No, it’s not Jessica Simpson - it’s her sister, Ashley. Not only has she had a nose job, but now she’s gone and plumped up her lips too, on her journey to becoming the next Jessica Simpson look-a-like
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?
12. Ben Affleck was rushed to the ER for a migraine headache
13. Celebrity Birthdays today: Actor Andy Griffith is 80, Singer Pat Boone is 72, Actor Morgan Freeman is 69, Guitarist Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones is 59, Singer Graham Russell of Air Supply is 56, Country singer Ronnie Dunn of Brooks and Dunn is 53, Actress Lisa Hartman Black is 50, Model Heidi Klum is 33, Singer Alanis Morissette is 32.
