UPDATE: It's official! Usmagazine.com is finally confirming the news we gave you Saturday morning. Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren welcomed a baby girl over the weekend. Jessica's father was reported as saying, "She's beautiful," and Cash was seen carrying food into the maternity ward.
The grapevine tells us that Jessica Alba was seen being wheeled in Cedars Sinai Medical Center in LA. A reader of Celebrity Baby Blog said she spotted Alba, as well as her husband Cash Warren, who was standing by security holding birthing balls.
I have no clue what birthing balls are, but I'm hoping they are like those big balls at the gym. Fun!
Jessica was reportedly due in late May, so she's well overdue to pop.
Of course, the media has been duped once this week already with false baby reports. Let's hope that this one proves to be true, for poor Jessica's sake. Get that baby out of there!
Last night some of Hollywood's most glamorous came together to support the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation, a charity created by former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to raise money for fighting cancer in the name of the late Soviet first lady.
Hugh Grant gave a moving tribute to his mother who he lost to the disease in 2001. Bono and his U2 bandmates also played a set for those attending the event, which took place at the Hampton Court Palace.
The big money-maker of the event was an auction, which had the star-studded group offering large sums for the charity.
Other stars at the annual dinner included Kate Beckinsale and husband, Petra Nemcova, Joan Collins, Orlando Bloom, Kevin Spacey, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro and Joely RIchardson.
Dax Shepard is being a show-off for the paps here outside of his home in New York City.
That's right. I said his home.
Meaning he isn't doing this for some goofy role he managed to land. This is what Dax does in his leisure time. Pop wheelies in spandex for the photogs.
Now I'm even more confused how this "comedian" manages to swing such great gals like current girlfriend Kristen Bell. Seriously. I think it might take a Dateline 2 hour special investigation piece to figure that out.
Looks like Oprah is pulling a Britney. The powerhouse talk show host might make an appearance on the sitcom 30 Rock.
According to Keith Powell, who plays Toofer on the hit show, the rumor going around the cast is that NBC is working really hard to get Oprah on the program next season.
Keith couldn't contain his excitement, saying, "There are very few people in the world that if I meet I would hyperventilate over and that would be her."
When asked if Oprah would play herself or someone else if she were to be on the comedy Keith said, "She'd have to play herself. I think we've talked about her so much she'd have play herself and then you'd have to watch me loose all bowel movements."
Wow. If Oprah sees that quote she might be inclined to turn down the offer. No one wants to see your B.M.s.
But then again, everyone is hailing Tyra as the new Oprah. O needs to get on her best game and put that bitch back in her place -- and 30 Rock might be a great way to do just that.
"We got a tie-dyed jumpsuit thing that we really like," he said. Reporters informed him that is was likely a "onesie," which confused the country singer.
He added, "I'm learning a new vocabulary. We also got a tiny T-shirt that says 'I crawl the line' that we like a lot."
Keith played a full set for the crowd. Nicole was nowhere to be found in the hot Nashville weather, but Keith still had a great time and loved the crowd.
I want to say a huge thank you to everybody that has coughed up the most outrageous amount of money per gallon to get gas to come to this festival this year," he said. "We're gonna give you a show worth seven bucks a gallon, so you're making three bucks right there."
Denise Richards has been dying to know everything about Charlie Sheen's recent wedding to real estate investor Brooke Mueller, so much that she called OK! Magazine to see if she could find out the details before they published their exclusive as a favor.
I haven't really looked into the latest Sheen wedding much, but the vows were definitely something that caught my eye.
Both Charlie and new wife Brooke wrote their own vows, promising to be better about their annoying attributes.
Some of Charlie's vows included "organize less and listen more," "quit breaking a hug too soon," and "mute the ball game when Brooke says, this is a matter of life and death."
Brooke promised to "cook more meals outside of the microwave," "keep the pile of debris on my side of the bed below the two foot mark," and "clean my closet at least once per decade."
Then they both concluded with "this and that, such and such. Yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah."
I can't decide if it is a good or bad thing that they didn't take their wedding seriously, but it doesn't really matter. I'm more interested in a the possibility of another Charlie Sheen divorce disaster than anything, to be honest.
A video was released this weekend which featured Amy Winehouse as filmed by her incarcerated husband Blake FIelder-Civil. It was a perosnal friend of Amy who now released the older footage to News of the World.
The video shows Amy and a friend singing "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" with racist remarks instead of body parts. In the background you can see all sorts of drug paraphernalia.
In the clip, Blake claims he isn't taping when Amy asks him multiple times.
This morning Amy came outside her house and apologized to the photographers who are eagerly waiting outside her house all hours of the day.
The friend who released the video said she did it because she wanted people to see the hold Blake has on Amy, and how he is the one who endangers her career.
"Some might say Blake's been the unwitting architect of Amy's downfall. But to risk all Amy's achievements and all her future by committing this sort of material to camera is beyond the pale," she said.
Amy has recently released her own videos to public with pal Pete Doherty, where she doesn't seem quite as drug-free as she currently claims to be.
I tried watching them last night, but I was so bored I fell asleep. This was the only skit I saw that I found funny, but be warned that it gets a little violent.
Tony Romo, Justin Timberlake and Matt Lauer all played a friendly game of golf as part of the Golf Digest U.S. Open Challenge.
The idea started when Tiger Woods said that a 10-handicap couldn't break 100 on the course, which is the same course the PGA will play next week for the U.S. Open.
All three players have handicaps below 10. Tony and Justin both played better than 100 with scores of 84 and 98 respectively, while Matt got a score of 100 even.
Justin said of the professionals, "They're inhuman how well they stripe it. We're just proud to be a part of actually showing it."
I wonder if Today is going to have any good stories on Monday. You know Tony and Justin had to talk about their Jessicas at least a little bit, and Matt had to be all ears.
InTouch Weekly just named Gavin Rossdale at the top of their best father's list, and for good reason. The mag says they chose Gavin because of his involvement in son Kingston's life. Remember this adorable day they spent together?
Gavin wasn't afraid to gush about adapting to fatherhood to People Magazine either.
"I'd been around babies 12 minutes my entire life. I didn't read any books. And we had friends of ours who were like, 'You guys are crazy, you've got to read books."'
But it didn't take long for Gavin to catch on to parenting. "It's so natural you just fall into it and you find your way. It's terrifying and exciting and brilliant."
Good thing Gavin enjoys it. It won't be long before wife Gwen Stefani pops out another baby for him to love like only a good father can.
The Real Housewives always fight amongst themselves, but during the Bravo A-List Awards it took a whole new turn as the cat fights have turned their focus to the O.C. vs. N.Y.C.
The ladies had some issues with the script they were given to read when presenting an award at the event. New York housewife Bethenny Frankel says the tiff started when O.C. wife Jeana Tomasina was offended.
"They [The O.C. Housewives] said in our material that my apartment is a two-by-four, and it's actually a one-by-two, and so I can take it, I don't care," Bethenny said. "But they're offended that I'm saying something about them living 65 miles from the beach. Jeana said, 'I don't think that's funny.'"
N.Y.C.'s Jill Zarin said that Bethenny gave one of the housewives a "dressing down," but Tamra Barney (O.C.) says that's not what happened.
"Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup." she said.
Bethenny's response? "Watch what happens. Give me a can of hairspray and a match, and I'll take care of that in the dressing room later."
Ooo, I need to start watching these shows. Those women are vicious!
See! I told you Britney Spears was working on some dance moves when she ruined my workout!
Britney's manager Larry Rudolph has confirmed that she will be headed to London this week to shoot her next music vid for the song "Radar."
The video's concept will have her (really her, not just a cartoon) and some friends hunting for some hunk she saw in a club. Everytime they think they've spotted him it turns out to be someone else.
This is Britney's second music video as of late, after shooting a cameo for The Pussycat Dolls this week. But not only will Britney be dancing this time, she will also be co-directing on the shoot.
"She will be behind the camera as much as possible; she wants to make sure it's exactly right," Larry said.
In other Britney news, it seems Jamie must have given his daughter her allowance. She was seen shopping for furniture in Sherman Oaks yesterday.
Rob Lowe is suing his former nanny for violating a confidentiality agreement. The nanny, Jessica Gibson, countersued Rob and his wife Sheryl for sexual harassment, and a second former nanny joined by also filing a sexual harassment suit.
A dismissal motion has been filed on Jessica's behalf that says, "In effect, Ms. Gibson has been sued for breach of a nonexistent contract."
Lowe's attorneys only said, "We'll be responding to this in court, which is the appropriate way."
A source close to the Lowe family said, "Everyone who works for Rob knows that confidentiality agreements must be signed. There are plenty people who can verify that Jessica signed one. But after her employment ended, the papers went missing."
So they hold a counter-Oscars ceremony every year called The Razzies. It awards the worst that Hollywood has to offer in the previous year. No one showed up this year to the ceremony to collect their gold spraypainted trophies. Heh. Eddie Murphy won Worst Actor for "Norbit".

Seems fashion at the Independent Spirit Awards is a little more casual, probably because many of these lovely ladies will be saving their good looks for the big red carpet event this evening. Most of the women had on bland neutral colors, and ex-stripper director Diablo Cody's red dress was one of the few bright moments of the evening's clothing choices.
Angelina wore simple black, with this season's biggest accessory # the baby bump. Eva Mendes looked great in a grey turtleneck shift, but I don't think I've ever seen her look horrible, even right before she headed to rehab.
Darling of the evening Ellen Page looked a little more like Ellen DeGeneres than usual. Now, I LOVE me some Ellen Page, but she tends to look awkward on the red carpet. She must feel very comfortable in those (very unfashionable) clothes, because she looks much more confident in these duds # and that's something always in style on the red carpet.
49 more photos of the women (Angelina Jolie, Diablo Cody, Eva Mendes, Sienna Miller, Lisa Kudrow, Justine Bateman, Cate Blanchett, Patricia Clarkson, Allison Janney, Jada Pinkett Smith, Olivia Thirby, Molly Sims, Elizabeth Reaser, Eliza Dushku, Felicity Huffman, Illeana Douglas, Aisha Tyler, Amber Benson, Marisa Tomei, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Amy Ryan and Zoe Saldana) gracing the 2008 Film Independent Spirit Awards are after the jump.
That was a nice moment. Helen Mirren was randy for his ass, though. Was everyone else able to struggle out of their Oscar-induced coma? I swear, that Kristen Chenowith number is what put me over the edge. Let's just say that "Enchanted" didn't translate well into the variety show format. Good lawd. I seriously wish I could have ignored some of the boring moments, kind of like Brad Renfro got ignored in the dead Hollywood actors montage. Despite the yawns, everyone one who won pretty much deserved to win. Though, Hal Holbrook must be weeping into his Metamucil this morning and making Dixie Carter recite Julia Sugarbaker-isms to cheer his ass up. Foreign actors dominated the show last night, as both lead actor winners were from abroad. Marion Cotillard won for her pitch-perfect portrayal of doomed singer Edith Piaf in "La Vie En Rose". And fan favorite Daniel Day Lewis took the statue for playing the demented oil baron Daniel Plainview in "There Will Be Blood". J. Harvey personal favorite hot alien chica Tilda Swinton won Best Support Actress for "Michael Clayton", and Javier Bardem took it for his portrayal of psycho Dutchboy wig wearing assassin Anton Chigurh. Tilda Swinton gets points for mocking George Clooney in er acceptance speech, which is funny because the rest of the free world acts like he saved us all from Armageddon.
And besides the European incursion, the big winner of the night was "No Country For Old Men", the Cohen Bros. razorsharp Western chase film. It took four awards including "Best Picture", "Best Director", and "Best Adapted Screenplay". Speaking of screenplay, fan favorite former stripper Diablo Cody got to show her tattoo to the a billion people when she won for "Best Original Screenplay" for "Juno", which besides that, pretty much got shut out. Apparently, the Academy doesn't love quirky flavor of the month. Here's some Oscar snaps for you to enjoy!
more photos (Jennifer Garner, George Clooney, Steve Carrell, Anne Hathaway, The Rock, Diablo Cody, Tilda Swinton, Helen Mirren, Daniel Day Lewis, Johnny Depp, Katherine Heigl, Amy Adams, Marion Cotillard, Forest Whitaker, Glen Hansard, Marketa Inglova, Josh Brolin, James McAvoy, Javier Bardem, Miley Cyrus, Cameron Diaz, Jack Nicholson, Kristen Chenowith, Nicole Kidman, John Travolta and Penelope Cruz) of the winners and from the 80th Academy Awards show, plus the list of winners, are after the jump.
11:54 PM EST - I have to add that the best part of the Oscars this year was Gary Busey attacking Jennifer Garner. When Gary Busey attacks! Did he have bald patches like a dog with mange? It was the hottest moment of an incredibly boring show. People are already replaying it over and over. Check YouTube. It's a joy! I also love how everyone keeps hinting that Sarah Larson is a golddigging casino slut but saying it in nice terms.
11:43 PM EST - Time to celebrate directing! Martin Scorcese's in the hizzy. He got Lorraine Bracco to do that hot scene where she screams and cries against the ugly wallpaper on top of Ray Liotta in "Goodfellas" like a wailing Italian banshee. The Cohens won it again. Why? They're just going to stand around with bad teeth and act ashamed! Give it to someone who will cry! This is Francis McDormand's husband talkin'. He's a lucky man, because she's Francis McDormand. Here's Denzel looking fed-up and very Louis Gosset Jr. What's up his ass? Here's Best Picture! Jesus Christ, the Cohens do it again! Can Francis speak? At least we know someone will pick up the damn pace. Cormac McCarthy's in the house. Does Jack Nicholson always get the front row? Is it in his lifetime contract? Yay! A gay won! Scott Rudin thanked his dude! And with that, I'm out. I need to lay down. Tell me how you stayed awake through that! I jabbed myself in the arm with a pushpin! Repeatedly.
Britney Spears' sons came to her house for a visit, and saw their mom for the first time since January 3. On Friday, lawyers for Britney and her ex-husband Kevin Federline reached a visitation agreement allowing Britney to see her children.
According to photographers, K-Fed loaded the kiddies up and sent them with his bodyguard. The children spent 3 hours with their mom, and their granddad Jamie. Britney's psychiatrist was also present.
Police were called to try and handle the swarms of paparazzi. Later that evening, Britney and her father went to dinner at Mastros in Beverly Hills, where they slipped out the back to avoid the photogs again.
Hopefully seeing her children will motivate Britney to continue making great progress. Finally, there's a glimmer of hope! Maybe she won't end up like this after all.
Looks like these guys followed the lead of their female counterparts on the Independent Spirit Awards red carpet last night with simple and relaxed looks for the event. Brad looks like he stepped right off the set of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" with those shades. I'm actually finding that the more I look at him, the more I like his look.
Lots of other actors are growing their hair out as well. Zach Braff is sprouting some more curly locks and Josh Hartnett still has that nasty 'stache. Javier Bardem sure looks like he let loose. I think he manages to look even hotter in those jeans and tennis shoes and messed up hair.
And of course, Jason Bateman wins the award for best chest hair this year to go along with "Juno's" Best Picture Award.
23 more photos of the men (Brad Pitt, Forest Whitaker, Javier Bardem, Josh Hartnett, Julian Schnabel, Matt Dillon, Aaron Eckhart, John Waters, Todd Haynes, Zach Braff, Rainn Wilson, Mike White, Jason Reitman and Jason Bateman) gracing the 2008 Film Independent Spirit Awards are after the jump.
As previously mentioned, it was a snoozy Oscars this year. You could have driven a car through the space between Amy Adams' breasts, but eh. Marion Cotillard looked totally hot in this mermaid type fish scale dress by Jean Paul Gaultier. I'm still trying to figure out why Hannah Montana was there. For real, is she an Academy member? Was it just Miley Cyrus product placement? She looked way older than 15. I mean, she wasn't wearing pasties or anything but some dude could get the wrong idea. She's barely out of freshman year! Stay on the tour bus and write in your rainbow journal. A lot of oldies dominated this year, like Helen Mirren, Ruby Dee, and Julie Christie. These women wore sorta fug outfits but wore them with class. Tilda Swinton wore a big tall black velvet bag but she could have worn a bikini made of fudge and still looked avant-garde and icy and beautiful. Katherine Heigl has a serious case of stagefright during the show, and usually she ticks me off with her holier-than-thou bullshit but I thought she looked hot in fire engine red. I've already discussed Alba and her wine. Keri Russell has this pale swan thing going on. And the standout chick was Diablo Cody who wore this feline giraffe type outfit that showed off her gigantic tattoos. We need more strippers on the red carpet. Kimora Lee Simmons doesn't count.
51 more photos (Marion Cotillard, Hilary Swank, Ruby Dee, Diablo Cody, Saoirse Ronan, Renee Zellweger, Faye Dunaway, Amy Adams, Katherine Heigl, Laura Linney, Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Julie Christie, Kristin Chenoweth, Calista Flockhart, Kelly Preston, Tilda Swinton, Anne Hathaway, Keri Russell, Lisa Rinna, Sissy Spacek , Olivia Thirlby, Diane Lane and Amy Ryan) from the Academy Awards red carpet are after the jump.
Holy shite, it was the best Oscar red carpet moment in aeons. Here's remarkable footage of Gary Busey attacking Ryan Seacrest, Jennifer Garner and Laura Linney before the ceremony. I did some research because everyone was like, why is this crazed drunken Viking on the red carpet anyway? Does he work anymore? Gary Busey is a former Oscar nominee and a member of the Academy, which is why he was there. For real, it was the kind of thing the red carpet was made for. Watch how Busey attacks Jenn's neck like a pit bull on a toddler. This incident made me love her more because she's hoping Seacrest's pansy ass would help her out and when he didn't she was like "ok, I'll share the moment with this gay douche, then I'm Audi". Laura Linney was like a one woman blond SWAT team getting Garner out of the line of fire. And Seacrest himself showed off how absolutely useless he was. Gary should have been the one holding that mike. He'd better be asked back next year and given his own show. I want to see him discuss red carpet dresses while trying to bend Kimora Lee Simmons over a monitor.
The boredom overpowering the ceremony itself began at the red carpet. Everyone kind of played it safe. The only really effed-up outfit on display was Daniel Day Lewis' wife Rebecca Miller She wore some kind of crazy amulet that looked like it might have gotten torn off the My Little Pony playhouse. And even that wasn't too over the top. Where was a Sally Kirkland in a big rainbow outfit when you needed her? Clooney and his ladyfriend got the loudest cheers. It was amusing as everyone kept talking about how Palms cocktail waitress Sarah Larson is the luckiest ho in the kingdom for snagging him. Seriously, it's like people expect her to be carrying around a large cardboard check and appearing on the evening news. Jennifer Garner looked lovely, despite compressed boobies and Gary Busey trying to rape her. Katherine Heigl aged it up, but I think she pulled it off. Oh, I know an outfit that I hated. Jessica Alba's stank self in the wine feathers. Ugh, pregnancy is no excuse and it couldn't have happened to a stanker broad. Heidi Klum was auctioning her red dress off to help the cause for heart disease among ladies and is seriously devoted to her man Seal. Cameron Diaz literally looked like she had just taken a pull off a j before exiting her car. She looked like the girlfriend in a "Cheech and Chong" movie. And no one did anything ridic. I think the writer's strike sucked the life out of people and they were just happy there was a prom this year.

We felt you probably need a little break in the Oscar coverage, so why not feature some photos of a shirtless and very pumped up Hugh Jackman. Hugh's spending some qulaity time with his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness and children Oscar and Ava. Sporting his "Wolverine" beard, Hugh showed off his honed torso as he frolicked in the surf with Oscar.
For guys, it always seems to be pretty easy#just shower, shave and throw on a tuxedo that doesn't make you look like you're catering the event. This year, it doesn't look like there were any glaring misses amongst the male celebrity attendees of the Academy Awards with most of the men keeping it simple with either a black bow tie or just a simple, monochromatic tie.
In the sea of black and white, a few guys managed to accessorize in a way that only men can#using their facial hair. James McAvoy and Viggo Mortensen had grown out a beard for the occasion, distinguishing them from their clean-shaven counterparts. Spike Lee and Wesley Snipes mixed it up with some glasses, with Spike sporting an pin featuring Barack Obama's face on his lapel, and Wesley mixing it up with a navy suit, instead of the traditional black that everyone else seemed to be wearing.
All in all, I have to say that everybody looked as if they took the advice of their girlfriends and wives, kept it simple, elegant and my two favorite guys of the evening were Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem.
In case you missed the ladies on the red carpet, check it out here.
27 more photos (James McAvoy, Keith Urban, Seth Rogan, Jonah Hill, Philip Seymour Hoffman, The Rock, Viggo Mortensen, Patrick Dempsey, Josh Brolin, Paul Dano, John Travolta, Antonio Sabato Jr., Tommy Lee Jones, Wesley Snipes, Gary Busey, Seal, Spike Lee and Julian Schnabel) of the men from the Academy Awards Red Carpet are after the jump.
I love this one. She is all kinds of hot as head bitch in charge in "Ugly Betty". Her look might be ageless, but I'm not sure it's the Botox. It might just be that disgraced former Miss Americas don't crack. Here's Vanessa Williams at the 13th Annual Human Rights Campaign Gala in NYC. The Human Rights Campaign fights for equality for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered people. When you see that big yellow equal sign on someone's bumper it means they're gay or a fag hag so give em' a friendly wave for me. Great, I probably just encouraged some asshole to roadrage a gay. Watch out, they equip us with tasers now!
