Celebrity Wedding This Week--Charlie Sheen

Charlie Sheen may be in a bitter custody battle with ex-wife Denise Richards, but thankfully the two quarreling parents seemed to pull it together so that their two young daughters, Lola and Sam, could be the flower girls at their daddy's wedding.

Brooke Mueller and Charlie Sheen had a simple wedding ceremony at a private estate in Los Angeles last night. This is number three for Sheen, and the first marriage for Mueller. Despite reported bickering, finger-pointing, and name-calling going on between the couple and Sheen's ex-wife, Denise Richards, Brooke and the "Two and a Half Men" star announced their engagement about a year ago, and thus far have managed to keep their relationship strong despite the angst involved in Sheen's private life.

Among the 60 or so guests at the ceremony were Martin Sheen, Charlie Sheen's father, and Janet, Sheen's mother. Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane and his actress wife Rebecca Gayheart were also among the guests at the wedding. Dane and Gayheart first introduced Sheen to real estate investor Mueller in 2006.

The wedding vows were written by Sheen and Mueller themselves, and a friend of Sheen's presided over the ceremony.

And "no gifts, please" was the message Sheen and Mueller gave guests with their wedding invitations. Instead, the couple asked their guests to donate to the Chrysalis: Changing Lives Through Jobs charity that serves the homeless, and to Pugs 'N Pals, a dog rescue charity.

More on Death of Actor Harvey Korman

The family of Harvey Korman has released a statement a short time ago, saying Korman died at UCLA Medical Center after suffering complications from the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm four months ago.

His daughter, Kate Korman, said in the statement that it was a "miracle" that her father had survived the aneurysm at all, and that he had several major operations.

Harvey Korman was an actor who brought laughter into the homes of many many people. Korman gained attention with "The Danny Kaye Show," appearing in skits with the star. He joined the show in its second season in 1964 and continued until it was canceled in 1967. That same year he became a cast member in the first season of "The Carol Burnett Show."

And that was a combination that was unstoppable. Burnett and Korman, along with fellow co-stars, Tim Conway and Vicki Lawrence, were simply brilliant in their skits.

In 2005, Korman marveled about the success of the Carol Burnett Show, saying:

"We were an ensemble, and Carol had the most incredible attitude. I've never worked with a star of that magnitude who was willing to give so much away."

Harvey Korman probably has his most memorable film role when he played the outlandish Hedley Lamarr (who was endlessly exasperated when people called him Hedy) in Mel Brooks' 1974 Western satire, "Blazing Saddles."

Korman and Tim Conway, with both being in thir 70's, toured the country with their show "Tim Conway and Harvey Korman: Together Again." They did 120 shows a year, sometimes as many as six or eight in a weekend.

In 1960 Korman married Donna Elhart and they had two children, Maria and Christopher. They divorced in 1977. Two more children, Katherine and Laura, were born of his 1982 marriage to Deborah Fritz.

In addition to his daughter Kate, he is survived by his wife and the three other children.

Harvey Korman Has Died ---Breaking News

We are just now hearing that actor Harvey Korman, the Emmy Award Winning actor who starred in "The Carol Burnett Show", has passed away. Carol Burnett is reportedly "devasted" by the news.

Tim Conway, who worked with Korman as recenly as last year, said he and Korman were friends for over 45 years.

Harvey Korman died at UCLA Medical Center, but the cause of death has not yet been released. The actor was 81.

More will be coming...

RIP, Harvey Korman.

Sharon Stone Finally Apologizes For Horrible Remarks

So actress Sharon Stone has decided that she better apologize to China for her ridiculously stupid comments she made shortly after China's devastating earthquake.

Stone actually had the nerve to say that perhaps China's earthquake was "bad karma" for Beijing's policies in Tibet?

So now Christian Dior has pulled advertisements featuring Sharon Stone from stores across China. Stone has a modeling contract with the cosmetics arm of the luxury retailer for which newly rich China is a fast-growing market.

Interestingly enough, Sharon Stone has apologized today for her remarks, saying "In the course of the interview I made inappropriate remarks and for any harm created towards the Chinese people I am extremely sad and apologize," the Beijing News quoted Stone as saying in a Chinese translation of her statement.

Hmm...couldn't possibly be that Stone is worried about her career now, could it?

So, Do you buy the apology by Sharon Stone?

Bill Murray's Wife Says "No More!"

Bill Murray's wife has had enough and wants a divorce.

Jennifer Butler Murray, 42, has said Murray's use of drugs, his physical abuse, and sex addiction are the basis for her asking for a divorce. This is according to a May 12 family-court filing in Charleston County. Jennifer Murray is also requested a restraining order against her husband.

The filing adds that Bill Murray once "hit his wife in the face and then told her she was 'lucky he didn't kill her,'" according to a report in the Charleston Post and Courier. Jennifer Murray bought a home in Sullivan's Island beach house in 2006 for $3.65 million, according to county property records, for her and the couple's 4 children. It was at the Sullivan's Island home, according to the complaint, that Murray allegedly abused his wife in November 2007.

Jennifer Murray has asked the court to determine whether a prenuptial agreement the couple signed in 1997 in which Bill would pay his wife $7 million in a divorce, is valid.

Bill Murray's lawyer, John McDougall, said Thursday. "I can say that Bill Murray is deeply saddened by the break-up of his marriage to Jennifer. They remain loving parents, committed to the best interest of their children. And Mr. Murray asks the public respect his family's privacy at this difficult time."

The Smoking Gun has the Prenuptial Agreement signed by the Murrays.

Pregnancy Confirmed By Ashlee Simpson-Wentz

It's True! Ashlee Simpson-Wentz will be sporting a baby bump soon--the newlywed Simpson, who has legally changed her name to Wentz, has admitted she and hubby Pete Wentz are expecting a baby!

The reason for denying the pregnancy until now was that the couple wanted to safely make it past the first trimester. Very understandable. Ashlee and Pete announced the pregnancy officially on Wentz's website,friendsorenemies.com.

"While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child," they wrote on Wentz's site, "This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family."

Simpson and Wentz were married May 17th at Simpson's parent's home in Encino.

Ashlee Simpson has changed her name to Ashlee Wentz, but will still be known as Ashlee Simpson-Wentz professionally.

So finally we can offer congratulations to the mommy and daddy to be, and we can officially go on another Hollywood Baby Bump Watch!!

Rachel Ray Wears Wrong Scarf To Dunk Donuts In

Dunkin' Donuts has decided to pull a commercial amid controversy over a scarf. Rachel Ray wore a scarf in the online ad that had critics arguing offers symbolic support for terrorism.

Dunkin' Donuts said Wednesday it decided to pull the ad over the weekend because controversy about the scarf detracted from its original intent to promote its iced coffee.

Critics, including conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, complained that the scarf appeared to be traditional garb worn by Arab men. The ad's critics say such scarves have come to symbolize Muslim extremism and terrorism.

Dunkin' Donuts says the black-and-white scarf that Ray wore had a paisley design, and was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. The chain says no symbolism was intended.

George Clooney is Single Again

Will George Clooney forever remain the bachelor that no woman could win the heart of? It certainly looks that way.

Sarah is out. Yep, George Clooney and Sarah Lawson are over. There had been speculation of Sarah being "The One" after she did what no other (girlfriend, that is) had done before-- go to the Oscars with George Clooney as his date.

The two have been dating since 2007, although they had actually first met in Las Vegas nearly four years ago, when Larson, a onetime Fear Factor winner, was a cocktail server at The Whiskey Bar. But it wasn't until the pair met for the second time in June 2007 in Las Vegas that sparks flew.

The guy should come with a warning label like--"Dating George Clooney is Dangerous for Your Heart!"

Former American Idol Contestant Battling Cancer

Luke Mernard, a contestant from the recently finished seventh season of American Idol, has been diagnosed with Stage Two Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Mernard first sought medical treatment for a persistent cough. After doctors ran several tests, they found a mass behind his heart and removed a node from under his left collarbone.

According to the relative, a biopsy showed the mass to be a symptom of Stage Two Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer of the immune system

The disease has one of the highest success rates of treatment for any type of cancer, which gives Mernard, 29, and his wife a lot of hope.

Idol winner, David Cook, who has visited Mernard in the hospital, has described the relationship he, Mernard and other Idol contestants had: Cook tells PEOPLE, “Luke, Michael Johns, Jason Yeager and myself, we kind of buddy-ed up one day at Hollywood week,” Cook explains. “We called ourselves the four horsemen. Any time one of your own is going through something as horrible as that, it makes everything else seem a little bit insignificant."

Of course, we saw the love David Cook has for his own brother who is dealing with brain cancer, and appeared in the audience during one of the show's episodes.

Did Jordan Sparks Cover-Up Secret Marriage With Sore Throat Story?

Now this is NOT confirmed, but very seriously rumored--- MediaTakeOut.com is reporting tonight that they have gotten information from VERY credible sources - that the Idol winner may have run off and gotten married to fellow singer Steph Jones.

Rumors are that Jordin had a somewhat hurried wedding after losing her virginity to Jones. Sparks has previously stated that she would stay a virgin until she got married.

She explains, "My parents gave me a purity ring and talked to me about waiting until I'm married to have sex. It wasn't forced; it just made perfect sense. It's going to be awesome to say to my husband that I waited my whole life for him."


If this is true, then it appears that Jordin's mysterious throat ailment last month wasn't an ailment at all. Rather it was a dust up that occurred when her parents and handlers discovered what she'd done. And according sources, "no one was happy about it".

Again, this is still uncomfirmed at this point.

Cindy Margolis And Husband End Marriage

Cindy Margolis has confirmed that she and her hubby of nine years, Los Angeles nightclub owner Guy Starkman, have split up.

"The end of any marriage is very sad. However, I feel blessed that Guy and I remain very close, we are truly the best of friends and the most devoted parents," Margolis told Us Weekly Tuesday.

She and Starkman have three children, 5-year-old Nicholas and 2-year-old twins Sabrina and Sierra.

Hmm...I guess this explains the upcoming Playboy cover—headlined "Cindy Margolis Is Sexy and Single!"

David Cook Dating Ex-American Idol Conestant

American Idol winner David Cook was a guest on Regis and Kelly today. And he had some interesting news to share... he recently had a dinner date with former "Idol" contestant Kimberly Caldwell (season 2).

When Regis asked Cook if he had a good time, he answered, When asked if he had a good time, Cook replied: "I did. We'll probably hang out again. So we'll see."

Aw. American Idol may have just changed David's Cook life in more ways than one!

Tori Spelling is Returning To Beverly Hills 90210

Tori Spelling has made it clear hat she really hoped to be a part of the new Beverly Hills 90210 spinoff...and it looks like Tori is getting her wish!

The original show, created by Tori Spelling's late father Aaron Spelling, ran from 1990-2000. In the show’s finale, Donna Martin married her high school sweetheart David Silver, played by Brian Austin Green.

So will viewers get to see what became of Donna and David? Is Donna still a designer and married? What we have heard is that Donna will be the owner of a very hip and happening Beverly Hills Shop. Should be fun to see Dona and Kelly back together again and see how their characters interact now.

The complete cast was announced earlier this month when Rob Estes joined as the patriarch of the Mills family who moves to Beverly Hills from Kansas. His wife Debbie is played by Lori Loughlin.

The Skinny on the New Beverly Hills 90210

Lori Loughlin has shared some tidbits about the upcoming 90210 spinoff coming this Fall.

Lori, who looks pretty much like she did on Full House, explains that the new 90210 is not going to be a copycat of the original Beverly Hills; There will be some similarities, but many differences as well.

For starters, Loughlin will not be a stay at home mom like Carol Potter, the mom in the original series. This mom will be a photographer with her own career going on.

And yes, the family has two teens in high school, like the original, conceded Loughlin, and yes, they move from the Midwest to Beverly Hills, but there the similarity ends.

The kids are not twins. They are not even blood-related actually. While the daughter, played by Shenae Grimes, is the biological child, her brother, played by Tristan Wilde, is adopted and African American.

The family will be moving in with the ill grandmother, played by Jessica Walters.

The spinoff 90210 has been deemed to be a more sexy and provocative version of the original 90210. And every character supposedly has a secret.

Sounds good so far!

Patrick Swayze and Wife Enjoy Lakers Game, Renew Wedding Vows

Patrick Swayze and his wife Lisa were spotted in the crowd Friday as the Los Angeles Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs 101-71 during Game 2 of the NBA Western Conference playoff series at L.A.'s Staples Center.

Swayze, 55, revealed in March that he has pancreatic cancer. But last month the star of Dirty Dancing and Ghost released a statement with his wife, telling PEOPLE his treatment is going well. "We're thrilled and grateful for the positive response Patrick has shown towards his treatment," the couple said.

"He has very strong willpower and he's a very determined individual," his sister-in-law Dr. Maria Scouros, a Houston oncologist, said at the time. "He's bringing all that energy to bear on it."

Patrick Swayze and his wife, Lisa Niemi, also recently flew to their ranch in New Mexico, and renewed their marriage vows in front of a small group of friends. Swayze and Niemi will celebrate their 33rd wedding anniversary on June 12.

Cindy McCain Vogues

Cindy McCain, wife of Republican presidential nominee, John McCain, looks relaxed in her photos in June's Vogue Magazine.

The 'maybe next First Lady' appears youngish, stylish, and very American-ish ....don't you think?

Norman Jean Roy, who is known for her non-celebrity photo shoots, did the photo shoot for Cindy McCain.

Who knew the wife of John McCain was so slim...those are a size 0 Lucky Brand Jeans she is wearing in that picture. Sheesh. Her sweater is from Michael Kors.

Me thinks a lot of effort went into making this look like the image of a relaxed and carefree Cindy McCain- as opposed to the polished and so stiffly poised political spouse we are used to seeing.

Detox Diet For Oprah Winfrey

Detox for 21 days is Oprah's latest diet plans. The main focus of Winfrey's diet is on being completely Vegan for the 21 day diet period.

54 year old Oprah Winfrey and three girlfriends from her production company are banning caffeine, sugar, gluten and alcohol, as well as all animal products.

The inspiration for going on the 21 day detox diet has apparently come from Kathy Freston's book Quantum Wellness and online sessions with Canadian motivational speaker Eckhart Tolle.

Oprah will be having meal recipe help from chef Tal Ronnen, and she will be blogging about her diet and sharing Vegan recipes on Winfrey's website.

Sunday was Day one of the detox diet, and in her blogging, Oprah noted, "This 21-day cleanse gives me a chance to think about [eating] differently and see what my attachments are to certain kinds of foods – and what I'm willing to do to change," she wrote on Sunday (day one). "Don't know if I'm going to feel better or worse, but I'm willing to try to see if my body at least feels differently."

"I had been focused on what I had to give up – sugar, gluten, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, eggs, cheese. 'What's left?' I thought," she wrote on day two. "Apparently a lot. I can honestly say every meal was a surprise and a delight, beginning with breakfast – strawberry rhubarb wheat-free crepes."

Shania Twain Betrayed By Her Best Friend

We are hearing that the best friend/secretary/housekeeper for Shania Twain is the reason for Shania Twain and her husband's separation.

Marie-Anne Thiébaud, 37, a longtime secretary and house manager at Twain and Lange's estate in Switzerland, was having an affair with Shania's husband of 14 years,Robert "Mutt" Lange, according to sources who spoke with People.

Uh....you cheated on Shania with that woman? What??

According to People's sources, the both Thiebaud and "Mutt" (hmmm..how appropriate is that nickname?) have left their spouses for each other.

But guess what? "Mutt" has exclusively denied having an affair to People...just after the separation had been announced. Now why am I not surprised?

Congratulations Daid Cook, The Newest American Idol

David Cook has won the title of American Idol. And he won it handily. It was a spectacular vote count for the finale with a record 97.5 million votes cast. Cook beat 17-year-old Utah resident David Archuleta by 12 million votes.

And Simon Cowell did an amazing thing before the winner was announced. Cowell said he had watched the previous night's performances again on video, and he admitted that the competition was actually "much closer" than he had previously indicated on Tuesday night's show. But that's not all. Simon then went on to apologize (yes, apologize!) to David Cook for being, in Simon's words "almost disrespectful" to Cook after Cook's performances on Tuesday night's show!

Woa..David Cook got the win and a Simon Cowell apology all in the same night!

You could almost see the look of anticipation leaving David Archuleta's face as Simon made his speech. Poor guy. He looked sad before Ryan Seacrest even announced which David had won. It was almost as if Simon's apology prophesized the win going to Cook.

But on a fun note for both Davids, they each got a new car! Archuleta looked like he was not certain if he should be accepting keys to a car, but when Ryan Seacrest asked David A. if he had a license, the high schooler said he did. I just hope David Archuleta's Dad doesn't confiscate those keys!

There was alot of singing by previously eliminated contestants. Too much singing, if you ask me. I always enjoy Seal singing, so when Syesha did her duet with Seal, that was ok.

The stars that were on tonight just seemed to keep coming...with some serious promoting as well. We saw George Michael, Bryan Adams, Donna Summer, ZZ Top, the Jonas Brothers, Graham Nash, OneRepublic and previous “Idol” winners Carrie Underwood and Jordin Sparks all perform. Mike Myers promoted his upcoming film “The Love Guru”
which over all I thought was a pretty silly act.

My favorite plug of the evening was a doctored clip of a 1970s Gladys Knight singing with wannabe Pips -- Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr., stars of the upcoming movie "Tropic Thunder." Black in particular was hilarious.

And so another Idol season is over. What will we see in changes for the next season as American Idol Producers rally to get viewer numbers back up for the somewhat ailing show?

I guess we shall wait and see.

Congratulations David Cook!

Which David Has Won American Idol?

We will know in a few short hours. Last week Simon picked David Cook as the eventual winner of Idol, but I think that has now changed. According to Simon, David Archuleta had a knock-out last night.

Each David sang three songs. I have to honestly say I thought David Archuleta had an amazing night. David Cook, on the other hand, always peforms well, but to me Cook didn't deliver his songs with as much emotion as the younger Davis did. However, Cook's emotion did come out after his final performance of the Collective Soul’s “The World I Know.”

Cook himself seemed to feel his younger competitor may take home the title tonight. The bartender/singer spoke with US Magazine after Tuesday night's performances, and said "I have to concede it: The kid came out all three songs and nailed it. But I walk away from this with my head held high."

Could be that voters will vote David Cook winner....he is undoubtedly deserving, as is the younger David, but I know Cook has got to be anticipating bigger and better things in his future no matter who actually gets the title of American Idol tonight.

Angelina Jolie is Glowing and Baby Bump is Growing

Aw...It seems the more Angelina Jolie's baby bump grows, the more Angelina glows! Angelina and hubby Brad Pitt attended the premiere of Jolie's new film, "The Changeling". The movie is based on a true-life story of a mother whose son is kidnapped, and returns many years later. Of course the suspense is whether the son that comes back is really the same son that was kidnapped.

Angelina is reportedly getting rave reviews for her role as the distraught mom...and the actress reports that her character in the film reminded her of her late mother Marcheline Bertrand.

Courthouse Wedding For Jessica Alba and Cash Warren

Monday was a big day for Jessica Alba...it was her wedding Day! But the only thing was--no one knew except for the bride and groom themselves.

Jessica and Cash showed up at the Beverly Hills Courthouse about 11:30 AM, filled out the required paperwork for a marriage license, and about 40 minutes later, became officially Mr. and Mrs.!

The couple got engaged in December after the Sin City star announced she was expecting a child, due this summer.

Alba, 27, has been dating Warren since autumn 2004. The pair met on the set of The Fantastic Four, on which Warren, 31, worked as a director's assistant.

The impromptu wedding was kept a secret even from family members it seems; Reports say that when US Weekly contacted Alba's younger brother Josh to see what he thought about his sister getting married, he replied "My sister? I'm going to have to call her!"

I guess the coming arrival of Jessica Alba and Cash Warren's baby girl motivated them to become a married couple sooner than later.

Congratulations from Desperate Gossip!

Crowning Of American Idol Winner Wednesday Night

and the anticipation is growing! You can just about hear the buzz in the air. Headlines are waiting everywhere for the name that will follow 'Idol Winner Is David_____"!

I think it will be suspenseful till the name is called out by Ryan Seacrest Wednesday night. I have my personal hopeful, but really do think either David is pretty much deserving. And I think it could easily be either David that wins the vote.

But the suspense will wait until Carrie Underwood and the Jonas Brothers perform at the Idol Finale Wednesday night.

Carrie Underwood took home the female vocalist of the year the Academy of Country Music Awards on Monday night where she gave a humorous acceptance speech where she said of her second consecutive female vocalist trophy. "I know I don't deserve it, but I'll take it."


The Jonas Brothers will be perform their hit song "S.O.S." and Carrie Underwood will perform her current co-written smash hit “Last Name.” In a recent vote online Carrie was chose as America's favorite American idol performer of all time.

Carrie Underwood Voted Most Popular American Idol

Carrie Underwood, who won Idol back in 2005, has been voted the most popular Idol ever! Over 1.3 million people voted in the AOL Television poll, according to Contactmusic.

In a far behind second place was Kelly Clarkson, who won Idol in 2002.

Meanwhile, it is speculated that host Ryan Seacrest will be taking over hosting duties for Larry King in the next few months. If Seacrest no longer remains host of American Idol, does Simon know a replacement?

According to reports, Simon does have a couple in mind to take over Ryan Seacrest's onstage duties...he wants his pals,Telly duo Geordies Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, popularly known as Ant and Dec, to take over as hosts of his American Idol show.

Ted Kennedy's Diagnosis...Malignant Brain Tumor

Doctors for the Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy say tests conducted after he suffered a seizure this weekend show a malignant tumor in his left parietal lobe.

His treatment will be decided after more tests but the usual course includes combinations of radiation and chemotherapy.

The 76-year-old senator has been hospitalized in Boston since Saturday, when he was airlifted from Cape Cod after a seizure at his home.

Our Best wishes and Prayers go out to the Kennedy Family.

His wife and children have been with him each day but have made no public statements.

His doctors said in a statement released to The Associated Press that he has had no further seizures, is in good spirits and is resting comfortably.

Is Kristy Yamaguchi The Dancing With The Stars Champ?

It sure looks like Kristy Yamaguchi wrapped up the competition last night. Two performances and two sets of perfect scores.

Starting of with a Cha Cha face off in which all three couples performed one after the other, Kristy clearly performed better than Cristian de la Fuente and Jason Taylor. Not that those guys didn't do well..they did actually, but Kristy just outshined them.

After the Face-off Cha-Cha number, Kristy was in first with Cristian in second and Jason in third.

Next came the Freeform and Kristy with partner Mark Ballas performed a hip hop number that had so many lifts even Len Goodman, the true anti-hip hop critic, gave Kristy and Mark a perfect 10. With judges Bruno Toliano and Carrie Ann Inaba also giving the couple 10's...Kristy looked like she was ready to take the trophy and celebrate,

Jason and Edyta were up next, who did their sexy flirty freestyle to Will Smith's "Miami". While it was sassy and sexy indeed, it garnered 9's from the judges, for 27, and giving Jason and Edyta a final score of 51.

Cristian and Cheryl Burke shimmied and shook through a spicy latin number, ending with a score of 26, and in second place over all with a final score of 52.

So, looks like we will have a 'Ladies Night' tonight, unless voters out there in voterland cause some sort of surprising upset.

Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban Do Know Baby's Sex

But the beaming couple is not telling us! Nicole Kidman looked full of baby and sooo very happy at last night's Academy of Country Music Awards. Kidman and hubby, Keith Urban signed autographs and smiled nonstop.

I'm sure they must have felt a twinge of disappointment when Keith lost out to Kenny Chesney for Entertainer of the Year, but you really couldn't tell as the mommy and daddy to be looked amazingly content and in love all night.

Whoaa...Kenny Chesney is Pissed

The guy won last night at the Academy of Country Music Awards. He won big actually...the Entertainer of The Year Award. So what upset this cowboy so much? The way he won his award.

Seems the Academy decided to let viewers at home choose the big winner, via the Internet.

According to Kenny Chesney, who was polite in accepting the award, but was smoking mad off camera later, "They took it from what the award really represents into a sweepstakes to see who can push people's buttons the hardest on the Internet," Chesney fumed to reporters back in the press room. "It's complete disrespect of the artist, what they've lowered it to. It really diminishes the integrity of the music that we're making. And I can say that because I won."

Chesney ties Garth Brooks and is only one win behind the legendary country group "Alabama" which won five of the top awards in row.

Brad Paisley took the award for Top Male Vocalist, his second in a row. Carrie Underwood won the Top Female Vocalist prize, also her second

It's All White For The Jolie/Pitt Twins

Aw...we are hearing that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt did some layette shopping for their twins on the way. The tiny baby clothes, all in white, were bought at Angelina and Brad's fave babe shop, Bonpoint in the French Riviera town of Cannes.

But Angelina will not say if the babies are boys, girls, or one of each. Do we believe mom and dad don't really know? Nah...I think they know, just keeping it to themselves. I did see on a cover of a tabloid at the market the other day that the twins were identical baby girls. But who knows. Except the docs, Angie and Brad.

Sex In The City's Women are Not Fighting, Says Sarah Jessica Parker

Rumors about fighting among the women of Sex and The City were laughed at by the Sarah Jessica Parker Friday night.

Parker was interviewed by BBC One’s Friday Night With Jonathan Ross, and told Jonathon, “I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else. We are family, there would be no reason to do it otherwise. I’m so proud of the work the other ladies have done, I think they’re marvellous."

Rumor had it that the fallout between the stars of the film was due to differing amounts of money they were paid for making the Sex in The City Movie.

Portia De Rossi Getting Married To Ellen De Generes

When Ellen DeGeneres announced to her audience on Thursday that she was getting married, the crowd jumped to their feet clapping like crazy.

DeGeneres told her studio audience, "So I would like to say now, for the first time, I am announcing: I am getting married," she said during the show, airing Friday.

DeGeneres, 50, and the glamorous de Rossi, 35, have been a familiar couple at Hollywood events, including the Academy Awards.

In a 2005 interview with Allure magazine, the comedian said she hoped she and de Rossi are "together the rest of our lives."

"I never would have thought my life would have turned out this way," DeGeneres told the magazine. "To have money. Or to have a gorgeous girlfriend. I just feel so lucky with everything in my life right now."

Shania Twain, Hubby Split Up

And another break-up today...Country Singer Shania Twain and her husband of 14 years, Robert "Mutt" Lange have separated.

The announcement came from Twain's spokesperson at Universal Music Group Nashville.

"This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time," the label said.

Twain has sold 33.6 million albums in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. While Lange, a mega music producer, did not produce Twain's first Mercury record in 1993, he has produced everything since, and the couple have collaborated on virtually all of Twain's hits.

The label would not comment on whether or not Lange will be involved in Twain's next project, which is expected next year.

In 2002, Twain told PEOPLE of her and Lange's relationship, "Our love has always been based on friendship and compatibility," though, she added, "we are very different."

Hollywood Break-ups! Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson

Aw. It's Over for Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson. And to think that we just thought the two stars were possibly engaged!

Engagement rumors were fueled by the appearance of a ring on the finger of Kate Hudson. That turned out to be just a prop for her film Bride Wars, which she's filming in Boston.

From reports, it sounds like this was not a pleasant break-up for Hudson or Wilson.

According to People, a friend of Owen Wilson states that "Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."

I guess putting it behind entails getting out and partying. Owen was spotted out at N.Y.C.'s Upstairs with two women.

"He was pretty chummy with the ladies ... he was certainly doing some sweet talking," according to an onlooker. "He looked happy to be there hanging with them." The late-night outing was followed by a visit to Butter the next night, where he chatted up a sexy blonde.

John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston Enjoy New York Together

New York replaces Miami as the cuddling continues for Jen and John. The couple were spotted out to dinner at at the Waverly Inn, and then later at Hudson Bar and Books.

We're told there was lots of cuddling, kissing, neck rubs and smiling going on.

This is the third city where Mayer and Aniston have spent some quality time together. After getting cozy poolside in Miami on Saturday, they flew to Orlando, where they were spotted kissing backstage at his concert.

Hopefully this is a romance that will last a long time ....I think Jennifer Aniston deserves it!

American Idol Showdown of the Davids

No surprising elimination last night on Idol. Syesha was eliminated, but left in a very classy manner I have to say.

It was a pretty uneventful night overall...we saw film of all three semi finalists returning for their home town visits. Lots of crying, screaming, tissue paper, etc. going on in all three clips. Nice footage and enjoyable enough to watch.

Former American Idol winner, Fantasia, performed. Wow...did she perform. That girl had more energy bouncing around that stage than I've seen in a long time. Paula gave her a standing Ovation, and Simon literally had his mouth open and stared in disbelief at the brightly colored now red haired Fantasia.

The elimination was said by Ryan Seacrest to "Be exremely close", which is why he said they would play all three goodbye montages for each contestant.

But when it came down to it, David Archueleta was pronounced safe, followed by the name of David Cook. David A. kind of staggered to the safety of the couch with David Cook's help....the kid was in that much disbelief he had made it to the finals, or what? Syesha Mercado said a very graceful Thank-you to everyone, and sang her last song.

So David vs. David next week.

Good Luck to both.

Simon Cowell Makes His Winning Pick For American Idol

Simon Cowell has let his opinion on who should win American Idol be known. Talking to Blender Blog, Simon says he believes David Cook is the most deserving to take the title of American Idol.

"I think he's done more to deserve it over the eleven weeks. He's taken more risks, he's done things with certain songs that have been more interesting. If I'm gonna base it on who has done the best performances over the live shows, David Cook deserves to win."

Scares me a bit to see how much I've been agreeing with Simon Cowell lately. But he's right, again, in my opinion.

And what has irritated Simon the most in this season's American Idol? Boring contestants. "There was a classic moment last week....We had these callers phone in and I forget what the question was — 'What do you like?' — and they just sat there. They couldn't talk. It was literally un-be-liev-able."

Simon's explanation for the non-talkative contestants on AI this season? It's like they've studied the show and they don't want to put a foot wrong. And that's going to have to change, going forward. I want what I call gobby, talkative people on the show."

Calling all 'Gobby' people. American Idol and Simon Cowell want you!

Angelina Admits She's Having Twins!

And so the rumors were true Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are having twins. But boys, girls, or one of each, Jolie would not say.

The confirmation came during an interview that took place in Cannes on Wednesday with the "Today" show's Natalie Morales, airing Wednesday night on Access Hollywood and in full on Thursday on "Today."

It was kind of an "oops" moment that led to Angelina telling Natalie that she was indeed carrying twins. Jolie's co-star, Jack Black, was doing the interview also, as the two were promoting their new Dreamworks animated film, "Kung Fu Panda."

Black let it slip first, when he joked to Angelina, "You're gonna have as many as (the) 'Brady Bunch' when you have these,"

At that point there was not much for mama Jolie to do but confirm the twins to Natalie.

But Angelina is keeping the sex of the babies a secret, unless Jack slips up again!

When Natalie asked if Jolie and Pitt would be staying in France for the babies' births, Angelina responded, "Maybe."

American Idol's Final Three Perform

Tonight's American Idol had the three remaining contestants each singing three songs. One song picked by a judge, one song picked by the contestants themselves, and one song courtesy of the show's producers.

David Archueleta was up first. Paula Abdul picked the song choice, and it was Billy Joel's ballad ''And So It Goes.'' David sang it well, and Paula was happy. Simon thought it was good, but a bit predictable. Randy just kept saying something about phone books and how David could sing one?? Actually, Randy said the same thing to David Cook as well if I remember right.

Syesha was next on stage, with Randy picking Alicia Keys, ''If I Ain't Got You.'' I thought Syesha did a great job, and as Paula and Simon both said, Syesha was looking great tonight as well. But what happened to Syesha's personality? A little over confident or a little too cocky....whatever it was, it was not so cute.

David Cook sang, courtesy of Simon Cowell, "The First Time Ever I saw Your Face" by Roberta Flack. I loved it. Yea Simon, I agree with you, Team Cowell/Cook won first round!

For his second song, David A. sang Chris Brown’s “With You,”. Not such a good choice. It just was not a David A. type of song. Syesha did Peggy Lee’s “Fever,” partly because she wanted to “work it a little” with a chair. Randy thought she sang “amazingly well” but Paula still wasn’t sure who Syesha was as an artist. Simon’s comments were the harshest: “You will probably regret that decision,” he said. “It sounded like a lame cabaret performance.” Again, I agree with Simon. Syesha, what were you thinking? I was not impressed at all with Syesha last night.
David Cook chose Switchfoot’s “Dare You to Move.” Randy liked it, Paula liked the ending and thought it was more like the beginning and made her want more. Simon, bot overly impressed, said it was "OK". Blah second round.

The final songs for round three were chosen by the show's producers. Bad decisions all around! David was given "“Longer” by Dan Fogelberg. Terrible song choice...come on guys! But David sang it as well as could be. Simon predicts David A is moving to the finals. Me too. Who doesn't? Syesha sang “Hit Me Up” by Gia Farrell from the Happy Feet soundtrack. After a brief 'penguin' debate among the judges, final thoughts for Syesha from judges... not good enough to move on to the finals. David Cook closed the night with “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.” I agree again with Simon...Cook was the winner of the night, easily.

Syesha should be going home tonight ( don't forget your chair!), and we will have the long anticipted battle of the Davids.

Is it Over For Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo?

I don't know if this is fact or rumor just yet....but....reports are filtering in that the cute twosome may have called it quits! TMZ is reporting that Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo are over...ack...I just find it hard to believe because they have looked so happy in photos of late.

I'm sure we'll be hearing more on this....as of right now the reps for both Simpson and Romo are denying the rumors.

OOPS...Britney Spears in Another Car Accident

She did it again. Britney Spears was involved in a minor car accident Tuesday. Spears was driving her white Mercedes-Benz SL65 when she left her Studio City home for an afternoon drive, and reportedly hit the back of an SUV a short time later.

According to a witness, Britney just slightly tapped the back of the other car...no major damage. Britney's bodyguard, who was riding in the passenger side of the car, apparently got out and gave the driver of the SUV a business card.

Britney Spears was involved in another minor fender bender just last month; Spears hit the car in front of her car on the 405 freeway, causing that car to in turn hit the car in front of it.

Is Tori Spelling returning To Beverly Hills 90210?

Tori Spelling has said she would like to be a part of the new Beverly Hills 90210 show, but has she gotten her wish?

According to Showbizspy
Tori has been cast on the 90210 show.

The CW show has recently cast Jennie Garth as a counselor at West Beverly High, and the rest of the cast has pretty much been cast as well.

The one character that has not been cast yet is the father, Harry Mills, patriarch of the Mills family who moves his family from Kansas to Beverly Hills so he can take care of his alcoholic mother.

But it seems a bit uncertain if Tori Spelling is already a done deal; A rep for CW has reportedly told People that “At this point, there is nothing to report.”

"London Calling" .... and it's For Shayne

No surprises on "The Bachelor" last night. Shayne, daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas, got the ring, and Chelsea got the "Long Goodbye."

This Bachelor was a pretty easy one to call. Bachelor ( now Shayne's fiancee), Matt Grant has been infatuated with the blond brown-eyed Lamas since the beginning.

The proposal was the classic "down on the knee" variety, with Shayne wide-eyed and looking at Matt in awe, and immediately accepting the proposal and the ring. The cutest part was Matt calling Shayne "Monkey"..."Monkey, will you marry me?"...aw.

I thought they made one cute couple last night. As young as Shayne is (all of 22), and "little girlish" she seems, she did look sincerely ecstatic and in love with the London guy. And I do believe Matt is under the spell of "Monkey", and is in love.

To keep their relationship under cover while The Bachelor aired, Matt Grant and Lamas have been secretly rendezvousing on various occasions at a house in Palm Springs, Calif., where they relaxed, playing board games and watching TV. “Shayne is absolutely terrible at Trivial Pursuit,” Grant joked. “I love her very much. I would die for this woman but she cannot play!”

They’ve also had some near-misses in Los Angeles, where Lamas currently resides. On one shopping trip, she had to bolt out of Barneys New York after calling Grant and discovering he was eating in the department store’s café at the exact time.

As for where the two will settle down, “[We'll be] going across the Atlantic and spending time in London and maybe New York and L.A.,” Grant said.

“The key is giving it the right time and not rushing into anything,” he said. “We’re just starting our relationship,” Lamas added. “We’re not putting any pressure on ourselves…[but] we’re 100 percent in this relationship right now.”

Kristi Yamaguchi Back on Top....For Now

Kristi Yamaguchi danced her way into first place last night with her energetic Jive.
But it was Yamaguchi's Tango with partner Mark Ballas that touched Judge Carrie Ann's heart. When the Tango ended, Carri Ann declared Kristi "Queen of the Dance Floor."

Jason Taylor and Edyta Sliwinski scored the first 10's of the night with their elegant Foxtrot. But they ended the night in third place. Can I just say that I thought their Foxtrot was the best dance of the night? I loved how Jason and Edyta glided along the dance floor!

Cristian's bum arm seems to be doing wonders for the guy. Charm and confidence is oozing out of the Chilean actor. I thought the clip of he and Cheryl out campaigning for votes was pretty funny. But Cristian and Cheryl slipped from first place last night, even with all that bootie-shakin', and ended in second place, as Kristi took back the helm.

Marissa....bubbly and energetic as always did not wow the judges. Carrie Ann was the hardest on Marissa, pointing out that for semi-finals, Marissa wasn't dancing well enough. And Marissa did misstep in her first dance of the night, the Rumba.

Who is leaving the dance floor tonight? Should be Marissa based on last night's performances, but with voters, you never know.

Britney Spears and Mom Enjoy Mother's Day Dinner

Britney is looking good these days, and Mother's Day was no exception. Britney played Saturday and Sunday with her two little boys, Jayden James and Sean Preston, and went out to dinner Sunday with her mom,Lynne Spears.

Britney will be making her second guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother tonight. The ratings soared after Spear's first guest appearance the sitcom, so it should be interesting to see how the ratings are after tonight's show.
