Nicole Richie and Joel Madden's daughter Harlow Winter Kate has excellent taste in music. Daddy Joel reveals what he's put on her playlist:
"a lot of Disney stuff and classical. She likes Good Charlotte. And she likes her granddad [Lionel Richie]'s music. She likes old stuff. She's a Cure fan ... She likes The Cure."
The Cure... a girl after my own heart! You go, retro baby!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt look like a happy family in Cannes, but reports say that that might just be a front! Rumors abound that the couple are arguing over what to name the twin buns Angelina is cooking in the oven.
Evidently Angie wants to name the babies Castor and Pollux. For those who haven't kept up on their ancient mythology, these are the twins for whom the astrological sign Gemini is named. She's a Gemini, so that probably makes some kind of logical sense someway, no?
Brad isn't happy with this choice, though. He has "put his fatherly foot down because he doesn’t want his little girl with a name that sounds like a British cuss word." For those who haven't kept up on their British slang (that would be me), the word they're referring to is "bollocks," which means balls (thanks Wikipedia!).
Now this is the point where celebrity rumors start to get just plain silly in my opinion. How about leaving it at, Brad Pitt doesn't want his girl babies given boy names, which could very well be true? But no, someone had to take it a couple of steps further into the realm of the ridiculous. Either way, these kids are going to end up with some strange names, so maybe in the end Castor and Pollux aren't so bad after all?

In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres that will air today (Thursday), David Beckham reveals that he and Posh are "working on" another child.
That's just TMI as far as I'm concerned. Who wants to think about him doing it with his chicken necked wife?
I hope Posh is eating more in preparation, though, because at 900 calories a day it's a wonder if she's even ovulating.

Suri Cruise celebrates her second birthday today!

Have a great day!

Becks and Posh appear to have selected an exclusive Jewish preschool for their youngest son, Cruz (3).
They recently spent over three hours touring the school and talking with staff.
David Beckham is technically Jewish by heritage - his mother is Jewish, and Judaism is tracked matrilineally. He says he's had "more contact with Judaism than any other religion."
But religion is not a factor in the choice of school for Cruz. Hello! Magazine quotes a friend of the Beckhams, "It's just one of the best schools for young children in LA."
I guess when you've got their kind of money, you can roll like that - even when it comes to preschool.

Doesn't it seem like whenever you see Angelina Jolie with her kids, they're always eating some crap? I didn't want to be too judgmental, because let's face it, we all eat (or have eaten) junk food from time to time, and those of us who have kids have nearly certainly let them eat some at some point as well.
When it comes to the Jolie-Pitt crew, though, it almost seems as though Cheetos are a food group. And thanks to Life & Style, now we know why.
"...one reason for all the fast-food fixes is that Brad and Angie don’t want nannies and chefs taking care of their brood. “They like to take care of the kids on their own,” the source revealed. “But they can’t cook, so they look for food that comes out of a box and doesn’t have to be cooked — and the kids just love fried foods."
Well yeah the kids love fried foods. Who doesn't? I applaud them for wanting to take care of their own kids, I really do. But while it's fun to see kids enjoying junk as a treat, it's just plain bad parenting as a way of life.
This also has me wondering what Brad and Angie eat???

"A source" (gotta love those sources) tells Us Magazine that newly-engaged Ashlee Simpson is pregnant.
You know how it goes though.... every celebrity engagement these days leads to pregnancy rumors. It's like the tabloids just don't think anyone does things the old fashioned way anymore.
On the other hand, Ashlee's rep had no comment, and we all know that usually means "yes." So we'll keep an eye on this, and we'll keep you posted.

Congratulations to Cate Blanchett! She's given birth to her third child - a boy, named Ignatius Martin Upton, weighing 8 lbs. According to news.com.au, "mother and child are both well."
Cate and husband Andrew Upton have two boys already, Dashiell (6) and Roman (3).
We'll see Cate next in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, opening next month.
All best wishes to the family!

Depending on which celebrity rag's website you read, you've heard by now that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt either got married, or they didn't.
Several hours ago, Star Magazine reported that Brangelina got married Saturday in "an intimate wedding ceremony in the couple's adopted city of New Orleans." The location supposedly was the French Quarter Wedding Chapel.
On the other hand, People says that "a source" (dontcha love those sources?) tells them that "there was 'no wedding.'"
If this is true, it's the second wedding for Brad, who was married to Jennifer Aniston for five years. Brad is Angelina's third husband, following Billy Bob Thornton and Jonny Lee Miller.
I'm frankly surprised. I thought they'd be one of those couples who never ties the knot officially.
But who knows what really happened? I'm sure the truth will come out in the next few days, especially since Star is promising details on the wedding in next week's issue.

The celebrity blogosphere is buzzing with speculation about how much money Brangelina will be offered for first photo rights of their impending twins.
How much higher could you really go than the ridiculous sum of $6M People paid for pictures of Max & Emme Anthony?
Well.
How about $8-10 MILLION SMACKEROOS?
Of course you know Angie is going to give it all to charity, like she did when People paid HER $4.1M for first pictures of Shiloh. But still.
EIGHT TO TEN MILLION DOLLARS.
One word:
Outrageous.

Did J-Lo and Angelina drink the same water? In Touch Weekly reports that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with boy/girl twins.
“They’ll be having a boy and a girl,” a pal tells In Touch. “Because she took fertility treatments to help her ovulate, her babies are fraternal. They’re ecstatic. She can’t wait.”
Rumor has it that their son Maddox gets to name one of the babies. He's already picked Mallory for his little sister to be. The name comes from his current favorite movie, "The Spiderwick Chronicles."
I'm actually glad that they're having twins, because now maybe WASP-y looking Shiloh won't be such an "outcast" in the most engineered rainbow family ever.
The question of "Where In The World Will Angelina Drop Her Babies?" still remains a mystery. Maybe Pax or Zahara will help her decide.

As we reported earlier, People bought the rights to the first pictures of J-Lo's twins for a jaw-dropping $6M.
For that amount of cash, they shouldn't have to settle for delayed gratification. And they're not! Emme and Max are not yet a month old and they've already been subjected to their first photoshoot - for this week's issue of the magazine.
People.com reveals the cover tomorrow morning - Thursday, March 20 - at 7:00 am Eastern.
If you're dying to get a look (c'mon, you know you want to see whether these newbies take after their mom or dad!), click here, bookmark the link, and set your alarm!
And just to whet your appetite, check out this video where People editor Peter Castro dishes about his interview with Jennifer and husband Marc.
By the way, even though a People rep called the rumors that part of their first pics deal with Lopez was to stop calling her J-Lo "absurd," they don't use it in their most recent mentions of her. You know I'm going to be scouring that rag mag now to see if they do or don't call her J-Lo!!!

Halle Berry's newborn baby's name has been released: Nahla Ariela Aubrey.
Nahla is an Arabic name meaning "a drink of water." (As in a tall, cool.... which is, no doubt, exactly what this girl is going to grow up to be!)
Ariela derives from the Hebrew and means "God's lioness."
A very beautiful, very strong name for a lucky young lady. Halle and Gabriel, we wholeheartedly approve!

Halle Berry finally had her baby this morning!
At 10:17 am, she gave birth to a baby girl weighing 7 lbs. 4 oz at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.
Star Magazine reports:
“Halle was overcome with emotion when she finally held her little girl. She said everything she had gone through was worth that moment. The tears kept coming as Halle didn’t even want the nurses to take her baby to clean her up and measure. It was a truly beautiful scene.”
I cannot wait to see pictures of this baby, who is the first for her and boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey. They are both ridiculous gorgeous. Combining their genes might just be enough to create a rift in the space-time continuum!
Eddie Murphy can't stop whining about being Mel B's baby daddy.
The Daily Mail is reporting that he claims he was "tricked" into fathering the Spice Girl's 11 month old daughter Angel.
Supposedly they only had sex three times over three months, and she told him she was on birth control. The Nutty Professor must really be nuts if he thinks that excuse is going to fly. Assuming she was telling the truth, birth control does fail.... and even if she was lying, DNA tests have proven that that's his kid! Didn't anyone teach him like back in junior high health class that if you're not prepared to deal with the potential consequences of having sex, um, maybe you shouldn't be having sex?
Apparently not, or maybe he was cutting class that day. Get this:
A source added: "He never thought things would end up like this".
Of COURSE he didn't! He thought he was going to get a little Spicy Tuna with no strings attached. Now he's got himself a baby and a lawsuit and public humiliation. Which is also his own fault, as far as I'm concerned. Maybe if he hadn't been such a douche about this whole thing she would have settled the child support issue out of court and he would have been spared all this mess and - if things go Mel's way - being liable for $9M in child support.
But wait, there's more! Apparently he also blames Mel for him not being able to get to know Angel. He's so upset with her that he wants to "wait until Angel is older before he can get to know her without any interference from her mother."
So, it's Mel's fault she got pregnant; it's Mel's fault that he has to pay child support; and it's Mel's fault that he can't see his daughter. Wow, Eddie. Your maturity astounds me.
What did Outkast say? Oh, right, "It takes two to lay down." You don't have to be a Professor of any type to see why Tracey Edmonds dumped him, huh?
Popcrunch reports that Nicole Kidman has asked George Clooney to be her baby's godfather - and he's agreed!
George has already offered his congratulations, saying “[She’ll be] a perfect mother.”
Nicole and George have been buds since they starred together in The Peacemaker in 1997. You may recall that George was rumored to be the cause of Nicole's breakup with Tom Cruise.
Nicole split with Scientology when she split with Tom, and has since become a devout Catholic. She and husband Keith Urban plan to have their child baptized as a Catholic.
Is George Clooney Catholic? Does it matter if he is, if he's going to be made godfather to a Catholic baby? Inquiring minds want to know!
Melissa Joan Hart, aka Clarissa aka Sabrina the Teenage Witch, gave birth to her second son today. People reports that Braydon Hart Wilkerson was born at 3 p.m. in Los Angeles after 10 hours of labor, weighing 7 lbs., 3 oz.
Melissa and husband Mark Wilkerson have a two year old named Mason. Mark is the lead singer of L.A. band Course of Nature, who released their second album earlier this year. They've been married since 2003.
I was a huge Sabrina fan, and have always liked Melissa. I almost met her once at a conference, but she sent her manager mom Paula instead. Small consolation (I was told by my coworkers that I actually squealed when I heard she would be there - and I'm not a squealy kind of girl), but Paula was really nice.
I'm glad Melissa finally had this baby because she was looking extremely uncomfortable in the last few weeks of her pregnancy.
Who's next to pop? I'm putting my money on Halle Berry!

Remember all that fuss in 2006 over her decision to have her baby (whom we now know as Shiloh) in Africa? I figured she was just trying to make her baby as "ethnic" as she could given the genetic pool she had to work with. She claimed, at the time, that she loves Africa because it is the "cradle of humankind." Apparently it's also where she and Brad were first seen vacationing publicly and where she first took custody of her son Maddox (which makes no sense to me since Maddox is from Cambodia?).
Well, Angelina's growing her brood again and of course that means making a decision on where to give birth. (Let me say at this juncture that most people I know don't have the freedom to make these kinds of choices. They have their baby at the hospital covered by their health insurance, if they're lucky to have any.) Last month there were claims that she wanted to have her second biological child in France because of her French heritage. Nothing third-world about France, but it's a lot more interesting than going to Cedars-Sinai. ALL the A-listers have their babies there, geeeez!
Now Ecorazzi reports that she might give birth in Texas.
Texas? How hilarious! I'd laugh at her for making such a pedestrian choice, but I'm not sure she's choosing anything: Brad's filming there, and the family has all decamped to a 270-acre ranch in Smithville.
Smithville has a population of around 4,300, which has probably grown by several dozen (paparazzi) since the Jolie-Pitts moved to town. There are apparently four family doctors serving the whole town, so I hope Angie imported her own OBGYN along with her kids.
And if she decides she just can't deal with the whitebreadness of it all, she can always just nip over the border to Mexico and have her baby there. She doesn't have a Latino baby yet, so maybe a baby born in a Spanish speaking country would help round out her collection. Or maybe while she's there she can just pick one up to take back with her. I'm so surprised she hasn't done it yet, but then again she's been pretty busy collecting African and Asian babies. She'll get around to it eventually, I'm sure.
His wife Luciana, that is! As reported by People today, Matt's rep confirmed that the happy couple are expecting a baby. This is their second together and the third for her - she has a 9 year old from a previous marriage. Congratulations to them!
They were seen out and about at the Empire Awards 2008 where Matt's movie The Bourne Ultimatum won Best Film.
I wonder what Luciana thinks of Matt's video with Sarah Silverman? And I wonder if she helped Jimmy Kimmel get his revenge?

Let's get one thing straight: I am no huge fan of Jessica Alba. I mean, she's cute and whatever, but she's just not a very good actress, and I've also heard that she's kind of a bitch. And she's apparently not that smart, either: in her recent interview with Latina magazine, she sounded like she'd been sucking on a little too much helium.
All that aside though, she is knocked up, and I don't want to cast any evil eye vibes on a pregnant lady. And speaking of that baby, it's probably going to be ridiculous gorgeous.
Just like she is in these pictures from the premiere of her new movie "The Eye." (This movie, by the way, looks creepy as hell, and that means I probably won't be seeing it. But you can watch the trailer here if you want.) I love the whole thing: her dress, the detail around the bust, the way it really flatters her growing belly, her accessories... even her slightly Amy Winehouse-ish eye makeup works. Go Jess!
You can see more pictures here.
US Magazine reports that Heidi Klum attended Brooklyn Beckham's 9th birthday party on Tuesday.
Big deal. The real news is that Posh threw her prepubescent son's birthday party at a restaurant called Pink Taco.
I wonder where Suri Cruise's next birthday will be held - Schlongville? Maybe Max Bratman and Harlow Madden can have a joint birthday party at Penis & Poonany? Maddox Jolie-Pitt can bring his "I Heart My Penis" gum to share with everyone!
This will probably be the last time Becks goes out of town and leaves Posh in charge of anything important to do with the kids.

Jeri Ryan aka Seven of Nine - and I know she's been in plenty of stuff since her Star Trek: Voyager days.... and yes, I've seen an episode or two of Shark and I liked it.... but I had a big ol' girl crush on Seven of Nine and so I'll always think of Jeri that way - has had a baby girl!
She and husband Christopher Eme, who have been married since June 2007, welcomed baby Gisele on Sunday. He is the chef at their L.A. restaurant Ortolan. She also has a 13 year old son named Alex.
Her television debut was on, of all places, Who's The Boss? Ryan was nominated multiple times for Saturn Awards and was finally awarded Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Seven of Nine in 2001. She won a Golden Satellite Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series - Drama in 1999.
Congrats Jeri!
Reuters reported on Friday that J-Lo and Skeletor have named their children Max and Emme.
Anyone who has had a kid who watched PBS at any point since 1999 knows that Max and Emmy are the names of the main human characters on Dragon Tales. This show is the Dora the Explorer of public television - featuring adventurous kids who learn a few random Spanish words along with valuable life lessons.
It's cute enough, but my kids were obSESSED with it when they were small. Every night my older son wanted me to tell a story about him, set in Dragon Tales. He outgrew it just in time to avoid Mommy blowing chunks all over the room.
Now I have to give them credit - at least they didn't give their kids "unique" names like Speck Wildhorse or Jermajesty or Moxie CrimeFighter. The potential was definitely there, so they get major credit for resisting the temptation. I do hope for J-Lo's sake that her Max and Emme don't grow up to be like the cartoon version - Emmy the bossy older sister, and Max the whiny, stubborn little brother who never listens.
(PS: I'm also wondering, did she choose the name Max before Xtina named her baby Max? Coincidence, or sign of a new Hollywood trend? Just curious.)
