The Saga of Miss California's Slipping Crown Continues.....


That glittering crown perched atop Carrie Prejean's head is now dangerously close to toppling all the way off.

The reigning Miss California will learn the fate of her crown and status Tuesday--when Miss California Pageant Owner, Donald Trump, makes his final decision.

And apparently Carrie Prejean is not in the mood to answers any questions... pageant officials complained Monday that no one can get reach the crown holding Prejean.

Maybe she is busy trying to gain hold of that slipping crown.

Tori Spelling Is Ringing in The Good Times



Tori should be all smiles these days.... her sweet hubby has made an awesome tradition of giving his wife a new wedding ring every anniversary. I am not sure if I like the actual idea of splurging every year on a new ring, plus I wonder why she needs a new ring each year--shouldn't the first wedding band be the most important and special?

But with that said, the thought behind this anniversary tradition Dean has started with Tori says a lot about his love for Tori. And the 90210 star says she will be passing on her collection of wedding bands to her kids, Liam and Stella.

Tori also received some pampering on Mother's Day courtesy of Dean; A manicure, pedicure and Tacori gold necklace with an “L” and “S” pendant.

With a second book, Mommywood, in its third week on the New York Times bestseller list and the premiere of the fourth season of the couple’s Oxygen show Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, on Tuesday, May 26., an d all this loving from her hubby, Tori should be smiling all day long these days!

Lance Armstrong is Annoying Me


So Lance Armstrong has a new book (woot!) coming out..."Lance" (how original) in July. And out of the kindness of his heart, he is explaining his break up with Sheryl Crow. The problem was Sheryl's biological clock!

According to the "dad -to be," ahem, Lance was not ready to have babies, or get married, but Sheryl was ready. Or, er, HER CLOCK was ready. Guess that loud ticking drove you away, uh Lance?

Break the woman's heart (never mind the cancer Sheryl Crow had to battle), and just move on. What a guy. And what did Lance move on to? Various assorted women, finally stopping long enough to make a baby after all! He and his girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting a baby in June.

Thanks Lance. Making a mental note (not) to buy your book come July (so not.)

The Girl That Would Be Jon's Friend Speaks Out


The Mystery woman that has been linked to Jon Gosselin lately amid reports of the father of 8 having an affair, has spoken out.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Deanna Hummel, 23 denied any kind of an affair with Jon. Hummel says that she and Jon met through a mutual friend, and when they hang out together, it is always with a group of friends.

"We just talk and socialize, the normal things you do when you see friends," says Hummel.

And the pictures of Jon and Deanna at Legends Bar in Reading, Pa., recently-- Hummel admits they were there, but that things were taken out of contet by the media--especially the picture of her driving Jon's car--

"He just got this new car and I wanted to drive it. I'm into cars," she says. "We all have guy and girl friends. Because of who he is, it gets portrayed the wrong way, and it's unfair to him and his family."
And No, Deanna says Jon never called her "babe," in case you are wondering....

"He did not by any means call me 'babe,' " she says. "Nobody calls me babe. That made me laugh."

I have to admit, as many doubts as I have about this whole story, Hummel does make a good point in her interview--

"He's a very nice guy, don't get me wrong. But he's married with eight children," says Hummel, who is single.

Heidi Klum is Getting Her Baby Girl!


Heidi Klum let it be known that she would love buying pink this pregnancy...and she is getting her wish. Klum's hubby, Seal was on Oprah Winfrey Friday, and gave Winfrey the "OK" to announce the baby's gender.

Pink it will be for Heidi and Seal come this Fall. And can I just say that baby girls seem to be outweighing baby boys in Hollywood lately??

Chyler Leigh Has Baby Girl


It will be a special Mother's Day for Grey's Anatomy star, Chyler Leigh, who delivered her baby girl early Thursday morning. The baby, Anniston Grey West, was actualy born ahead of schedule...by 8 days. Anniston is the third baby for Leigh and her husband, Nathan West. The couple have a son, Noah Wilde, 5, and another daughter,Taelyn Leigh, 2 ½.

Chyler is delighted with the fact that she is a mom to three at age 27, happily telling People,
“By the time this last one will be 18, I’ll be 45!”


Trista and Ryan Sutter's New Little Girl!


Ryan and Trista Sutter are featured in the latest issue of Life and Style, along with their son, Maxwell Alston, 21 months, and their beautiful 4 1/2 week old baby girl, Blakesley Grace.


In the article, Trista describes how the birth of Blakesley was so much different than Max's birth. With Max, Trista had to be put under general anesthesia for an emergency C-Section. With Blakesley, the C-Section was planned, and Trista says--
"I just walked into the hospital and put my gown on, and then my doctor came in and said, “Okay, it’s time.”


The best part of the delivery, says Trista, was--
"Being able to hear her cry when she came out and then seeing her right away. With Max, I was under, and I didn't wake up until several hours later. But this time I was able to hear her first cry and see Ryan there too."

As for the name, Blakesley,

"It's a family name. Ryan really loved the name Grace. At first we were calling her Gracie, but then we decided to stick with Blakesley."


And when asked about her and Ryan's "Bachelor Success Story,"--

"You know, it's so hard to say. I will acknowledge that it's difficult. You meet under these crazy circumstances, and then you get separated for three months, which was super hard. And I think some people just think they're ready and then when they see the person again, they realize those feelings just aren't there. I didn't set out to be the only Bachelorette to get married. I just feel lucky and blessed that my life turned out this way."





Elisabeth Hasselbeck's "Delivery Surprise"


Boy or girl ..... Elisabeth Hasselbeck doesn't know, and will not find out until the View Co-Host delivers her baby in August!

Hasselbeck says the surprise will help her get through the delivery.... just like it did when she gave birth to Grace Elisabeth, 4, and Taylor Thomas, 18 months.

Tommy Hilfiger and Dee Ocleppo Are on The Blue Team!


Tommy Hilfiger's wife is wearing that blue gown for a very specific reason: the couple are expecting a little boy this August. And what better way to announce their baby news, especially when you are "Mrs. Hilfiger?" The baby boy will be the first baby for the couple, and number 7th overall (both Hilfiger and Dee have children from previous marriages.) As for baby names...Tommy, 58, says that the couple are “in the midst” of the ”negotiation process.” Dee would only reveal that there are “a few” she’s been thinking of, and they are leaning towards a moniker with “international” origins.

Thursday Water Cooler Gossip


Some quick sips of gossip this week .....

Kate Gosselin is "standing by her man"...more or less. Amid rising rumors, speculations, eyewitness accounts and pictures, Jon and Kate of the Reality TV series, "Jon and Kate Plus Eight," are "dealing with it" privately, says Kate. On the "Today" show Thursday morning, Kate (minus Jon who stayed home with the kids), told Meredith Viera, " I'm very hesitant to believe any of it. It goes with the territory." Jon has consistently denied allegations he cheated on his wife, and Kate has said the latest tabloid reports will not be addressed on their reality tv show.


Hayden Panettiere, 19, and Bristol Palin joined forces to discuss teen pregnancy at the Candie's Foundation town hall meeting on teenage pregnancy prevention for National Teen Pregnancy Awareness Day in NYC Wednesday. Bristol Palin -- she and ex-boyfriend Levi Johnston welcomed son, Tripp, in December -- could serve as a fellow teen ambassador for the Candie's Foundation.

Kirstie Alley, who admitted on Oprah that she has put on 83 lbs. since her Jenny Craig days, has an ivitation from Valerie Bertinelli to work out with her. Bertinelli, Kirstie's replacement as Jenny Craig's spokesperson, says "I am one jalapeño pepper away from gaining 40 pounds. It's not simple! It's something you work on every day."

And a sad note this week: Ryan O'Neal speaks in an interview with People Magazine about the cancer that his life long love, Farrah Fawcett, is battling. It is an emotional interview, and one that made me cry, I'll admit. Basically O'Neal says Farrah spends her days in bed, mostly sleeping, hooked up to IV's for nourishment, but he says, " The treatment has pretty much ended." Fawcett, 62, herself tells of her journey through illness in Farrah's Story a two-hour NBC documentary that airs Friday, May 15. According to O'Neal, the documentary came about the day Farrah decided to take her hand held camera with her to the doctor; this turned out to be the day she would learn her cancer had returned.

And another loss for Hollywood......Comedienne Dom Deluise passed away late Monday night in a Los Angeles hospital. DeLuise was 75. David Cook's brother sadly succumbed to brain cancer this past weekend. The American Idol Winner announced the sad news Sunday during the Race for Hope, which benefited the National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. Cook's brother had been battling the disease for more than a decade. The sudden passing of the legendary Las Vegas Entertainer, 52 year old Danny Gans, has left Las Vegas in shock and sadness. Gans was found dead in his home in his home in Henderson, Nev., about 3 a.m. last Friday, apparently passing away in his sleep.

Miss California's crown is A'slipping...but will the release of more picturs of Carrie Prejean cause the crown to completely fall off and into the waiting hands of second runner up..."Miss Malibu?" A second photo of Prejean has been shown on TheDirty.com, again with her topless and in a pair of panties. Apparently Prejean just finished swearing to the Miss California Pageant Commitee that here was only one photo. OOPS. According to the website, TMZ, there are at least 4 pictures ..... But if the cown falls ... Prejean's runner-up Miss Malibu told "Access Hollywood's" Billy Bush on Wednesday that she is ready to step in should Prejean lose her crown because of a morality clause in the pageant contract contestants sign that promises they have no nude or semi-nude photos in their past. That is a relief. Whew.

Cindy Crawford's hubby, Rande Gerber, has been hit with a sexual harrassment lawsuit which claims Gerber and other managers from the restaurant owned by Gerber's company, attempted tp fondle and harass two waitresses that used to work there. The two women claim they were fired for refusing to give in to the advances.

It is an all-male American Idol Finish..... last night the last remaining female contender, Allison Iraheta, the 17-year old with a voice that is truly amazing, was sent home. I loved her voice, but the voters out there never did seem to warm to Allison. And did you see Paula perform?? I saw lights, fog, male dancers, and shades of Paula, but I did not see her actually singing....her mouth was pretty much conveinently kept obscure through most of her performance, can we say "lip synch" here? I give Abdul kudos though. I could never get up and perform in front of Simon!

Raise your and if you were shocked by this week's Dancing With The Stars elimination? The "bionic bootie" has left the dance floor! Poor Lil' Kim and Derek..... such better dancers than the adorable Ty, to be sure...but apparently Ty has the fan advantage. I love Ty, so I'm happy to see him battle it out another week, but talk about a surprising elimination?!

Shocking Elimination on DWTS--LiL' Kim Leaves


Wow-- LiL' Kim, along with her "bionic bootie" was eliminated on Dancing With The Stars Tuesday night, leaving Ty still standing.

Wow. Ty looked shocked, as did the entire audience. Did anyone expect this elimination, really? We love Ty, but Lil' Kim was easily a better dancer. Guess the popularity vote is stronger than ever these days.

Woa--I don't think this is going to sit well with everyone backstage...yikes.

Jill Spills On The Real Housewives Reunion


The Real Housewives Season Finale is Tuesday night on Bravo. And by now everyone has seen the previews of a nasty looking fight going down between co-stars of the series, Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel. The two always came across as the two closets friends on the Housewives set, so what really happens on the finale tonight?

Jill Zarin chatted a bit with People Magazine, and shared some tidbits about the Housewives Finale, and the reunion show to air May 12, 10 p.m. ET when Real Housewives gather once again to spill all.

So what did Jill spill? Nothing about her fight tonight with Bethenny.... but a few things that were interesting enough.......

Kelly Bennison donated a photography session with her ex-husband, a well known photographer apparently, as a bid item at the event. Unfortunatley, the winning family with the highest bid is yet to get their session with the photographer, and Jill has returned their money. Though the session is still said to be happening, Jill will not ask for th emoney back until there is a firm deal.

Mario--the whiny hubby of Real Housewive's co-star, Ramona, is basically still whining about Jill and the tennis match. The guy is looking for attention says Jill. And he is so obviously jealous of the attention Ramona is getting. (Not such good attention, btw, Mario--- your wife is not such a favorite.)

Jill says on the Housewives Reunion show, she basically fights with everyone, and calls everyone out on something (should be good stuff!)-- "There were definitely things that I challenged people on to be honest about. The only one who I didn’t really [challenge] is Bethenny because Bethenny and I sort of see things the same way. And Bethenny has a very sharp memory. I would never go up against Bethenny’s memory. And anytime anyone does, they’ve very sorry they did.”

And the deal with LuAnn and her divorce? Jill says that LuAnn sould have been more forthcoming about her marriage and not so much into pretending everything was just fine--which made Ramona espoecially upset with the "Countess." Remember Ramona complaining in one episode to Bethenny about LuAnn being a "Hypocrite?" That is what she was referring to.

Should be an interesting season finale with the Jill/Bethenny catfight, and a truly juicy reunion with the wives as well.

Monday's Water Cooler Gossip


Quick sips of gossip to catch you up on weekend celebrity news --

David Cook's brother sadly succumbed to brain cancer this past weekend. The American Idol Winner announced the sad news Sunday during the Race for Hope, which benefited the National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure. Cook's brother had been battling the disease for more than a decade.

The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck says her third pregnancy is much different than her first or even second pregnancy. "For the first pregnancy, you're a pregnant goddess and everyone is running around giving you water," she said. "But the third time around, you're just lucky to have a prenatal pill by the end of day!"

On the cover of June's Vanity Fair Magazine --Jessica Simpson. And in the accompanying interview, what does Simpson discuss? Jessica talks about her feelings on subjects such as her singer's ex-husband Nick Lachey, boyfriend and Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, marriage and her faith.

Beauty Pageants perks? Yes.... you can get freebies these days: just join a beauty pageant! On Friday, the Miss California Beauty Pageant confirmed that contestant and First Runner Up in the Miss USA beauty contest, Carrie Prejean, received free breast implants, organized and paid for by the pageant, weeks before the Miss USA competition.

The Huffington Post is reporting that Steve Martin's hit from 1981, "Parenthood," is headed to TV sets every week in the form of a new sitcom. According to people familiar with NBC's plans, the "Parenthood" drama will be part of the network's lineup next season.

Truth or Smear in Davaid Hasselbeck hospital story?? This past weekend we were first told David Hasselbeck was admitted to Cedars Sinai with alcohol poising, after being ound passed out at home by his 16 year old daughter. TMZ is reporting today that most of the truth in what actually happened to David this past weekend was highly exaggerated by Hasselbeck's not so pleasant ex-- Pamela Bach. Seems that while Hasseloff may have "over-indulged", the facts were very distorted by Bach, and according to The Knight Rider's attorney, "in violation of the court's order precluding contacting the media regarding her ex husband."

Soap Opera Derby

Can you name the soap opera actor/actress who is now a famous star?

Casey Aldridge Released From Hospital


Jamie Spears boyfriend, Casey Aldridge has been released from the hospital and is doing well.
Casey suffered a head injury when his Ford F-250 rolled over and he and two passengers were ejected from the vehicle. According to his doctors, there was no permanent damage. Jamie stayed by the side of boyfriend and father of the couple's 10 month old daughter, Maddie this past week.

Jewel Under Fire For DWTS Comments


Uh...Jewel hopefully you did not hurt your husband's chances for that gorgeous DWTS trophy! Jewel has upset people---fans of DWTS kind of people--- not to mention fans of The Bachelor's Melissa Rycroft.


Coming out against the rule where the DWTS judges will use the dance rehearsal to give competitors their scores if they are injured and cannot dance live in competition, Jewel said she believes that injured competitors should leave the competition altogether.

The judges used the rule to vote on Steve-O's routine when he was injured, and last week when Melissa could not dance on the Monday night show due to hurt ribs.


Even though Melissa had very low scores for the rehearsal performance that was judged, she still stayed while Julianne Hough and her bf partner, Chuck Wicks were eliminated. And somehow we do not think Wicks was too happy about the situation either....saying Melissa's fan base was the reason she stayed and he was eliminated.


So now Jewel is trying to do damage control. But is it too late for cute hubby Ty Murray? Jewel has blogged that she and Ty love all the dancers...and whoever wins will be deserving because they all have worked so hard. Thesinger tries to explain what she meant by her earlier remarks...she just doesn't agree with that particular rule--even if her own husband were injured. Basically, she believes you either perform , or leave.


Bad feelings growing for Ty's fate Tuesday night......aw Jewel...what have you done?

Does Heidi Really Want 4 Little Spencers Running Around?


Heidi Montag wants 4 little boys with hubby Spencer Pratt. Yep. According to Montag's new sister-in-law, Stephanie, anyway.

Stephanie says that Heidi will make a great mom --"she so good with with our niece," Stephanie told Us. "They're [both] kid lovers."

Cindy Crawford's Husband Accused Of Sexual Harassment


Has Cindy Crawford's hubby, Rande Gerber, been doing some 'hanky panky?' A lawsuit was filed in March in San Diego County Superior Court by two women who used to be waitresses at a restaurant owned by Gerber's company. Reportedly, the women claimed they were fired from for refusing to give in to the advances of Gerber and other managers where they worked.


And of course we have the denials by Gerber and his lawyers, who say the lawsuit has "no merit." Married to Cindy Crawford and still messing around??? According to the lawsuit, it may seem so.....


On one occasion in 2008, while working at the Moonstone Lounge in San Diego, one of the women claims the supermodel's husband attempted to kiss her three times during the night, then "put his hand up [her] dress in between her legs in an attempt to fondle her crotch," TMZ reports.


"These allegations were previously investigated and shown to be baseless," adding, "This lawsuit has no merit." say Gerber's representatives.

Real Housewives Becoming Divas?


The Real Housewives of NY are getting "demanding" and "loud" even when the cameras are off--so it seems.

Reportedly Jill Zarin is not winning any personality contests lately, at least not with the high-end boutique Intermix. Seems Jill was at the store to borrow a Chloe dress for her daughter Ally to wear to the charity event for [charity] Operation Smile.

People Magazine is reporting that an "insider" revealed that "Jill was at the store and acting like a total nightmare." Our Jill? Nah!


And then there is the squabble about the dress Ally did wear to the chrity event being returned to the store with a "Big Stain Down The Middle." Not so says the "Real Housewife." According to Jill, the stain was very small, and was already there when her daughter put the dress on.
Jill says she told her daughter just to wear the dress anyway because the stain was so little no one would notice it.


Result of the stain dispute? Jill's stylist, who pulled all the dresses for all the Housewives, is taking "full responsibility" and "handling the situation with Intermix." Nice.


And the oh so annoying Kelly is still being annoying. The narcissitic Real Housewife is turning 41 today, joy, and is celebrating at The Gates. Word is that Kelly is still battling it out Bethenny Frankel, in between bragging about her education at Columbia College.


Hmm.... According to Kelly's rep., that would be the Columbia University School of General Studies ....which according to its Web site, is "created specifically for returning and nontraditional students."

More like a continuing college, uh Kelly? Quit your bragging, and leave Bethenny alone please.

Shock and Sadness Surrounds Danny Gans Passing


The sudden passing of 52 year old Danny Gans has left Las Vegas in shock and sadness. Gans, the well renowned entertainer that made his career in Las Vegas, was found dead in his home in his home in Henderson, Nev., about 3 a.m. Friday by his wife, Julie, said a Wynn Resorts spokeswoman.

There has been no cause of death released yet.

The 52-year-old entertainer played the Mirage for eight years before moving to the Encore Theater in February.

Steve Wynn, chief executive of Wynn Resorts, called Gans's death "a profoundly tragic event that leaves us all sad and speechless. The loss of Danny to his wife Julie, his children, Amy, Andrew and Emily is at this moment impossible to comprehend."
