Katherine Heigl Throws Baby Shower For Ellen Pompeo

Katherine Heigl hosted a baby shower for her Grey's Anatomy co-star, Ellen Pompeo, on Saturday. Among the guests that headed to Katherine Heigl's home in the Los Feliz area were Kate Walsh, Sandra Oh and Rebecca Gayheart.

And Pink was the color of the day, as Pompeo and her husband Chris Ivery are expecting a baby girl in October.

Held in the backyard of Heigl's home, there were umbrellas to ward off the sun and heat, and pink flower centerpieces on tables.

PEOPLE reports that, "Ellen looked gorgeous in a white summer dress with her hair in a braided up-do. She seemed very excited to celebrate with her girlfriends."

And the gifts...we all want to know about the baby goodies of course! "Mommy -to- Be" Pompeo registered with the Juvenile Shop in Sherman Oaks-- and received as part of the loot, a Sleep Sheep toy mobile, Sleepy Safari stacking toys, organic hooded towels and a Kiddopotamus organic swaddle wrap – from her list.

A Las Vegas Getaway For Michael Jackson's Kids

Blanket, Prince Michael, and Paris all enjoyed a weekend vacation with Grandmother Katherine in Las Vegas. The family was seen at Palms Casino Resort's pool on Sunday. They, along with three friends, dunked each other in the pool and swam around for more than two hours. Blanket, wearing a life preserver, even showed some of his moves, dancing on the edge of the pool before jumping in the water.

Katherine Jackson smiled as she watched her grandchildren poolside, along with a nanny and a friend.

The children's uncle, Jermiane Jackson, joined the family for dinner Saturday night at Vegas hotspot N9NE Steakhouse's private dining room.

But one must wonder how weird it probably felt for the kids being at thePalms Hotel --they spent about two months there with their father in early 2008.

David Alan Grier Set For Custody Battle

David Alan Grier isn't dancing much these days. Grier, who performed on Dancing With The Stars last season, is preparing for a custody battle over his one year old daughter.

The In Living Color star is seeking joint custody while his soon to be ex-wife, Christine Kim, is seeking sole custody of their daughter, Luisa, with visitation for the actor, as well as spousal support.

And therein lies another point of contention between the two: Grier has asked the court to deny spousal support for Kim.

Grier's estranged wife filed for divorce last month, citing irreconcilable differences.

Days of Big Brother: Lydia Joins Jesse In the Jury House

A week alone for Big Brother Evicted Houseguests Jesse and Lydia. Whatever will they do??

Recently evicted Lydia has given some hints as to her feelings about the game, and about Jesse--

Regarding Jesse -- is Lydia mad at him or not?

"He is legitimately in trouble, and he has a lot of making up to do!"

Is there the possibility of a
reconciliation?

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. There always is that possibility, but I don’t
do the baby thing. There’s always the hope to work your way back
into the good graces. Everyone deserves a second chance." ( editorial "sigh")

Is Lydia Upset with Chima for Giving Up and Being Kicked Out By Producers?

"I’m so disappointed in Chima giving up on us! She didn’t even
stay to play in the POV! If she had, I might not have had to wear the
red unitard. That’s one way to look at it, but another way is that I
can totally understand why she had to get out. I don’t think the game
was for Chima."

Does Lydia have Plans For a BB tattoo?

"It’s going to be a big key on the side of my calf,
and I’m going to put the initials of the people that I like in the
key, and it’s going to have an 11 at the top, and it’s going to be
all rustic, and swirly. Kevin will be in there, Chima will be in
there, Jessie will be in there, maybe even Natalie."


You can read more of Lydia's interview here and find out more of her thoughts on Jesse, being on the Jury, and her unitard.

All Star Project Runway: Agree or Disagree With Daniel's Win?

So when Daniel Vosovic won on Thursday night's Project Runway, Korto Momolu was visibly upset. Both designers were runner ups in their respective Project Runway seasons, but Korto has said she thought she should have won in her season.

Daniel's dress won the contest for him. But should one dress have been the deal maker? Did Koko present a better over-all collection?

I mean, that embellished black dress she created in the final restaurant challenge was pretty amazing. So each designer had one great dress. What pushed Daniel's sports-themed collection ahead of Korto's?

Personally, I think when Heidi said she would only wear Danielle's dress out of all the dresses on the runway that night, that was it.

Korto told People that she had not expected to win going in to the competition though:

“I put a lot of time and work into this away from my family and, yes, I wanted to win. I feel like I should have won but in my heart I knew they weren’t going to give it to me. I made sure I had a collection [the judges] would have no negative comments for — and there were none. There was nothing wrong my with collection.”

Jackson Brothers To Star In Reality TV Show

Sounds like...well, I won't say it....out of respect for Michael. The four older Jackson brothers....Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon will soon be starring in their own reality show that will follow the brothers as they deal with the loss of youngest brother, Michael Jackson, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Before Michael died, the Jackson brothers filmed a one-hour pilot for A&E that was supposed to include some kind of reunion of them with Michael. But Michael never agreed to it, and did not do it.

Apparently the brothers and A&E have decided to reformat the hour long special into a series that will now focus on the four brothers dealing with their loss.

Should be on sometime "within the month."

And that is all I will say about this. For now. (Biting tongue. Hard.)

Celine Dion Pregnant With Embryo Frozen 8 years

Celine Dion is pregnant with baby number two. But what makes this pregnancy "different" than normal in vitro fertilizations is that the embryo has been frozen frozen in liquid nitrogen for the past eight years for the past eight years.

The singer had her embryos frozen when she went through IVF while trying to conceive her first child, René-Charles, who was born in 2001.

According to Dion's fertility specialist,Dr. Zev Rosenwaks, freezing an embryo for eight years is not necessarily a problem. "There have been embryos that have been [frozen] for more than 10 years, and even more than 15 years, that have successfully thawed and resulted in a pregnancy," says Rosenwaks.

"She is very, very early in her pregnancy," says Dion's doctor, and "There is no question she is ecstatic."

Chima Deserved To Be Evicted From Big Brother

omg....I loved watching tonight's Big Brother show. Loved it so much I had to have a second glass of wine, lol. I have never been a fan of Chima's. I will say I have deep sympathy and serious respect for Chima surviving her horrific ordeal in college. Unfortunately, my respect did not translate into liking Chima, the Big Brother Houseguest.

Chima is a diva. And a very spoiled one at that. She absolutely deserved to be evicted by Big Brother producers after displaying disregard for the game, the rules and staff. Tuesday night's episode of Big Brother was amazing: to see Chima fall apart after being put up on the block was eye-opening. What happened to the "stong woman" she claimed to be? What gave Chima this sense of "entitlement" that only applied to her and not the other houseguests? Even her best friends in the house tried to reason with Chima....obviously to no avail.

I am happy Chima left. I have no doubt she believed BB would continue to give in to her childish behavior. Chima seemed to feel she was in charge...she mistakenly thought she was above the rules, the staff, the other houseguests and even her best friends in the Big Brother Game. She actually reminded me of a two year old who has no sense of the real world...just thinks that they are the center of the universe and in control.

Ahh.....poor Chima. If you have been following any of Chima's tweets lately, are they not sad? She is spiteful, hateful, demeaning and as always, superior to everyone else. I sincerely hope this woman gets the care and help she really needs.

And what about Lydia?? A bit scary at one point tonight, I thought. I expected a straight jacket to appear instead of the unitard at one point.

Absolutely a crazy season on Big Brother. I have been following live feeds and will not spoil anything here for those watching just the shows and not the live feeds, but be warned.....things may not be what you think they would be anymore.....change is ongoing in the Big Brother House...nothing stays the same. Or will they??? Thursday night's show should be awesome!

Bye Chima.

Big Brother's Chima: Evicted or Quit??

Wild happenings have been going on the last couple of days at the Big Brother House. Chima Simone has left the house after basically defying every request by Big Brother production personnel, but the big question remains: did Chimone ask to leave the House, or did the tempermental player get evicted by production?

The answer depends on whose version you believe. CBS has issued a statement which says Chima was evicted after refusing to adhere to rules:

"Chima has been evicted by the producers from the Big Brother house for violating the rules. She will not be part of the show’s jury. Her eviction will be addressed on an upcoming broadcast of the show."

Chima tells a different story in an interview she gave shortly after leaving the Big Brother House:

"...Yes, I did in fact quit the show, although there are reports on EW from CBS to the contrary. Big Brother would like everyone to believe I was kicked off for not following the rules, but I went to the producers repeatedly over the past couple of days wanting to leave....wanting out of that house! "

Clearly angry with the game twist called, "Coup d'etat," Chima had been very vocal in denouncing the game and in verbal attacks on fellow players, particularly Russell Kairouz, the last several days before she left the house.

"When I chose to play & play hard the power I did earn was completely usurped by a game piece never used before in this game and my HOH reign was rendered useless, says Chima. I have no regrets. As cliche' as it sounds, until the public is a part of a human pressure cooker, then the judgments should cease."

So take your pick. CBS or Chima's version? Kind of like a "He Said, She Said" situation.

Just Married: Alyssa Milano

Alyssa Milano married her fiance, Hollywood agent David Bugliari, at his family's estate in New Jersey on Saturday.

Milano walked down an aisle strewn with cream-colored rose petals and natural grass to the tune of John Lennon's "Imagine." The actress wore a Vera Wang custom gown, and carried a bouquet of lily of the valley flowers.

The couple exchanged traditional vows under a wrought-iron gazebo decorated with willow, calla lilies and roses.

Keeping with the "family centered theme," dinner was served family style on rustic farmhouse tables in a tent with wood flooring and wrought iron chandeliers. Event planner Colin Cowie created just the right atmosphere for the family-oriented couple.

"My Italian family still eats Sunday dinner together every week," says Milano. "We wanted to capture the same feeling with people passing around beautiful bowls of food and talking and laughing."

Bugliari, an agent at the Creative Artists Agency, "proposed to Milano, 36, last December with a ring he designed and made by Jim Lavi at Daniel Jewelry in La Jolla, Calif.

Milano has most recently been in seen in NBC's comedy My Name Is Earl in a recurring role.

Channing, Jenna Spend Honeymoon in Sick Bed

Just Married, and already sharing a sick bed: Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum honeymoon in Bali didn't turn out quite the way the newlyweds had in mind. Seems Jenna and Channing both ended up with food poisoning --

"We had a mini-moon. We went to Bali for four or five days," Dewan told Usmagazine.com at the Hollywood premiere of G.I. Joe Thursday. "But both of us got food poisoning. So we had maybe one day of actual honeymoon!"

Molly Ringwald Remembers Director John Hughes

Actress Molly Ringwald became a teen star and household name back in the 1980's thanks to the late director John Hughes. In the 1984 movie, Sixteen Candles, Hughes cast a young Molly Ringwald as one of the stars. Molly continued to take center stage in the 1985 classic,The Breakfast Club and in 1986's Pretty in Pink, written by John Hughes.

With the recent passing of the gifted Hughes, Ringwald released a statement-

"I was stunned and incredibly sad to hear about the death of John Hughes," Ringwald said in a statement. "He was and will always be such an important part of my life."

"He will be missed – by me and by everyone that he has touched," she added. "My heart and all my thoughts are with his family now."

Look Who is Modeling Now -- Danielle Staub's Daughter

Danielle Stubs, reality TV star on Bravo and subject of many heated controversies on and off screen, has a reason to smile these days: Staub's 15 year old daughter has just signed on with a top modeling agency. (Now don't go turning tables over Teresa!)

Christine Staub, the 15-year-old has just signed with IMG Model– the same agency that represents Gisele Bunchen, Heidi Klum, Kate Moss and Taylor Momsen. And modeling experts are comparing her to a young Angela Lindvall or Christie Brinkley.

“She came into our offices and we were blown away!” Ivan Bart, SVP and Managing Director of IMG Models Worldwide, tells PEOPLE.com. “She has an amazing amount of potential as a model. If we had seen her on the street we would have signed her on the spot.”

We may be seeing the 5′10″ soon-to-be high school sophomore, who enters the 10th grade in September as an honor student, on the runway as early as September for New York Fashion Week, according to IMG.

New to modeling and attention she is receiving now, Christine told The Daily,

“I’ve never really done any modeling before, so I’m just learning while I have a chance and being guided by the best in the business. I’m also getting used to industry people looking at my face so closely!”

Kind of ironic that Teresa worked so hard to have her daughter signed by modeling agencies but Danielle’s daughter is admired and sought after by one of the top modeling agencies around.

Ronnie From Big Brother Speaks Out

Ronnie "the rat" from Big Brother is gone, but not forgotten. In an interview with People, BB contestant Ronnie says that he is now "unforgettable" in Big Brother history.

When asked why he believes he was the fourth BB Guest evicted this season, Ronnie explained that he could not balance his love for the game with his strategy:

"..it was really difficult to counterbalance my passion and love for this game…with my actual strategy. I made the alliance with Jessie and the athletes right off the bat because I was absolutely afraid of being targeted by them because of my intelligence."

And about that explosive tirade against Michelle on eviction night? Ronnie practically was foaming at the mouth as he was calling her "worst person I have ever had the misfortune to meet.” Fans on BB message boards were admitting they were worried for Michelle's safety after Ronnie berated her like that on live TV. So did Ronnie mean what he said to Michelle, or does he regret those words?

"Michele did try to get to know me as a person, and we tried to form a personal relationship. But when my nomination came across, she totally flipped [but] there were no hard feelings at that point. And then in the last 72 hours, she started in with the personal attacks, so I truly did mean what I said at that time. Michele turned out to be someone that I didn’t think she was."

So with all the backlash directed at Ronnie by Big Brother fans, the almost unified dislike of him and his gameplay, and the nickname forever attached to the guy (Rat), you might think Ronnie would regret ever being in the Big Brother House. Not so.

"I’m thankful for every moment that I had in the BB house. It was the experience of a lifetime and I did everything that I wanted to do in that house. Whether you love to hate me or hate to love me, I’m unforgettable at this point."

But to not even make it to the Sequester House? Ouch. That's got to sting, right Ronnie?

Did Ed Cheat on Jillian?

American Idol Looking For Paula Abdul's Replacement

American Idol producers will be filling the judge's chair that has been vacated by Paula Abdul. Apparently Fox executives had hoped Abdul would return for the new season, but when an unhappy Paula tweeted to her fans on Wednesday that she was leaving the show, producers decided that a replacement judge would be selected.

As for the “Idol” auditions that are set to begin in the coming weeks, the fourth judge’s chair will be filled by celebrity guests, including former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham and pop star Katy Perry. According to FOX Chairman of Entertainment Peter Rice,

“We’ll have these guest judges do one week each during the audition [period]… there is no thought right now that any of these judges will be long term judge for us,” Rice said. “All of the people we are talking to have successful careers. I don’t even think they’d be available to judge full-time. We have now until January to introduce a new energy to the panel.”

But aren't we all wondering the same thing? Could American Idol and Paula mend fences and reunite? I mean, Simon must be pi**** off at Fox right about now--he had made it clear he wanted Paula in her judge's seat this season.

So what do you think? Is Paula gone for good, or did she pull the rug out from under Idol producers and shake things up at Fox?

And would American Idol survive without Paula?

No More Idol For Paula Abdul

It is official...Paula Abdul has twittered to fans that she is not returning to American Idol. Abdul told fans:

"With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to Idol," Abdul, 47, Twittered. "I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day one become an international phenomenon."

"What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me," she added. "I do, without any doubt, have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."

Ryan Seacrest expressed his sadness about Paula leaving American Idol, saying:

"I am shocked and saddened about Paula." He said he "cant' imagine" a judge's panel without her.

So the Idol judges table will once again feature just three judges:
Simon Cowell, Randy Jackson and Kara DioGuardi, who announced Monday she will be returning.

Jillian Not 'Destroyed' By Reports Of Infedility

Two women, Lindsey Johnson and Bethany Steffen, claim that Ed Swiderski was 'stringing them along while he was wooing Harris on the ABC reality dating show, and that he continued to do so even after he and Harris got engaged on May 24.'

And the reports say that Jillian Harris felt betrayed and her relationship with Swiderski is destroyed.

Not so, says Jillian.

“I am not destroyed!” Harris told PEOPLE Magazine. “There’s a little bit of anxiety that comes with this news, but I am absolutely not destroyed.”

According to the ex-bachelorette, the couple discussed everything after becoming engaged.

"He’s told me all of this, every little text message and every little phone call. I use his computer. I know that any communication he had with the girls post-show was platonic. I’m not worried about it."

And Jillian points out -

“I was falling in love with two other guys two days before we got engaged. That’s a double standard. If he had feelings for these two other girls while he was on the show, that’s normal.”

So all is good between Jillian and Ed, and the couple have a Las Vegas trip planned for next week.

"

I can’t wait to get married to you. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.’ Our relationship is very legitimate and it’s getting stronger. We’re a team and we’re going to get through this."

I even had a black crystal chandelier installed, as well as gorgeous black ceiling moldings."

Hilton's pampered pups are all tiny, and each has a special name: Tinkerbell, Marilyn Monroe, Prince Baby Bear, Harajuku, Dolce and Prada.

Meet Brooke Elliot From Lifetime's Newest Hit

Brooke Elliott, the beautiful new star of Lifetime's newest hit, "Drop Dead Gorgeous," is garnering praise for her outstanding performances from critics everywhere.

The comedy-drama centers around Elliot's character, Jane Bingum, who is not really Jane anymore. A beautiful, thin and self-indulgent model named Deb has inherited Jane's body after both women passed away within minutes of each other. Deb balks at "passing on," however, and manages to return to life, but in the plus-size body of brilliant attorney Jane, played by Elliot.

Brooke grew up in Minnesota and Michigan, and studied musical theater at Western Michigan University. She worked in Chicago with the theater company Babes with Blades, but got her first real break on Broadway when she successfully auditioned for the cast of "Taboo" under the guidance of Rosie O'Donnell.

And now O'Donnell has been cast in a recurring role on "Diva" as a judge and friend to Jane. Rosie is not the only star that will be making guest appearances on the hit show. Comedienne Margaret Cho is a co-star and stars such as Delta Burke, Liza Minnelli, Paula Abdul, Andy Dick, Nia Vardalos, Tim Gunn, Chuck Woolery, Sharon Lawrence, Mark Moses, Diedrich Bader, Kathy Najimy, Teri Polo, and “CSI’s” Jorja Fox will be showing up in the weeks to come.

"The list is truly mind-boggling," I feel like it's a testament to the worth of this show, that it's a message that they also want to get out," Elliot says of the stars that will be showing up on the show. " At first glance, it focuses on the weight aspect of Deb trying to settle into Jane's body and dealing with how differently she's treated and how differently she feels about herself, but that's only one aspect of self-acceptance. This show is so much more. It's something that everyone can relate to."

Drop Dead Diva's July 12 season premiere brought in 2.8 million viewers, Lifetime’s highest rated original drama series debut.

“Drop Dead Diva” airs Sunday’s at 9 PM on Lifetime.
