Is Hef Getting Hitched?

Like Annie, I have to grudgingly admit that I watch the Girls Next Door. I don't know what it is about that show, but I just find it addictive. Looks like this new season might be its last. Page Six is reporting that the buzz during the Oscar parties last weekend was that Hugh Hefner and his "number one girlfriend," Holly Madison, will be getting married before the end of the year.

Apparently, the wedding will be part of the E! show, but Hef doesn't want to ruin the surprise or have people stop watching. Apparently Kendra is never at the mansion and Bridget is only still around because she's very friendly to Holly.

After this article earlier this year, a wedding to Holly would certainly make sense.

Dont Forget! ANTM Debuts Tonight!

Set your TiVos people - America's Next Top Model, Cycle 8, debuts tonight on the CW. You can check out a video teasing the premiere right here. Tyra Banks discusses many of the contestants (and makes fun of some of them, too).

Tyra says that there are two plus models this year, partly because that way the usual one plus model will have someone they relate to in the house. Looks to me like they went more for odd looking girls than pretty looking girls. Judge for yourself!

Here are this year's contestants:

The Britney Spears Wing

MSNBC reports that Britney Spears has found a way to survive in rehab - she wants to book an entire wing for just herself at the Malibu clinic where she is detoxing.

Citing the London Sun, MSNBC reports that Britney is willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a little privacy while at Promises. Can't say I blame her, but doesn't that sort of defeat the purpose of going to a group detox facility?

Dancing with the Stars Loses Contestant

The competition must be really rough this year. Zap2It "Sopranos" star Vincent Pastore has already dropped out of Dancing with the Stars. The 60-year old went through one week of training then left the show, citing "the physical rigors of the 10-week competition as his primary reason."

When I read that his partner was Edyta Sliwinksa (Joey Lawrence's partner from last year), I was worried that she'd lose her spot on the show, but ABC says the show will announce a replacement soon. They better do it real soon so that Edyta isn't at too much of a disadvantage when it comes to training a new partner.

Here are more details on what Pastore had to say about his departure:

"When I initially committed to joining 'Dancing with the Stars,' I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me," says Pastore, who played mobster "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero on "The Sopranos." "Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity."

Does Jennifer Lopez Sleep?

Seriously, I think she might not. Martha Stewart only sleeps 4 hours a night - maybe Jennifer is the same way. Besides her work as a producer in MTV's Dance Life, and working on an upcoming album and concert tour, the multi-hyphenate is at work on yet another project. She has teamed up with Sex and the City producer Alexa Junge to develop a sitcom about Hispanic nannies. It is set to be called Ayuda, Spanish for "help." What is the Spanish word for sleep?

New Job for Guy Ritchie

Also known as pop star Madonna's husband, Guy Ritchie, happens to be a director/producer as well. He just signed a contract to direct and executive produce Suspects, a new ABC drama.

His former directing credits include Revolver, Swept Away, Star, Snatch and Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

Posh Spice - Reality TV Star?

I'm a reality tv junkie, and more temptation is definitely not what I need. Rumors are swirling fast and furious that Posh Spice, aka Victoria Beckham, is in talks to star in her own primetime reality TV show on NBC revolving around her life and work.

"No decision has been made yet but it will be coming very soon," says a source close to Posh and her husband.

The show is said to be "more about Victoria and her work rather than her children or husband. David is busy with his team in Spain and ongoing work on his soccer academy" and will likely touch upon her fashion business, DVBStyle and her upcoming move to America with her husband and children.

"It's not going to be like The Osbournes," adds the source. "But everyone will be pretty amazed at the TV show. It will be so different."

Hey, maybe even BFF Katie Holmes and husband Tom Cruise will make guest appearances!

Cover Girl: Mandy Moore on Seventeen Magazine

What's not to like about actress/pop singer/clothing designer Mandy Moore? Wholesome, down to earth, and a great role model for teens. The well-rounded beauty is appearing on the cover of the March issue of Seventeen magazine.

Inside, the 22 year-old dishes on the pressures to be a size 0 ("I'm not Nicole Richie. I'm not like a toothpick, and I never will be.") and admits that she is a bit of a romantic. "My heart moves at lightning speed."

It's Official: Usher is Engaged

That big noise you just heard? The audible, collective, disappointed sigh from single women everywhere that R&B singer Usher is off the market.

Usher is engaged to his stylist girlfriend, Tameka Foster. On Monday, when Usher accepted his Spirit Award at the NAACP Theatre Image Awards in Beverly Hills, he thanked Tameka, referring to her as his "fiancee."

This will be his first marriage, and her second. Tameka has also worked with Lauryn Hill and Toni Braxton.

Actress Kyra Sedgwick Inks a Nice Payday

The star of TNT's The Closer, Kyra Sedgwick, is going to be sticking around for awhile. She just inked a deal with the network, worth $16 million, to continue on the drama series. She is now one of the highest-paid actresses on television. The new contract will give the Golden Globe winner a producer credit and a generous salary bump to approximately $250,000 per episode.

Cover Girl: Jennifer Hudson on Vogue Magazine

For someone who lost out on American Idol last season, singer/actress Jennifer Hudson's star could not shine any better than it has been lately. Especially considering she took home an Oscar last night, for her very first acting role ever in the hit movie, Dreamgirls.

The young Chicago native was recently photographed at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem by Annie Leibovitz for the March issue of Vogue magazine. She got her singing start at age 7, singing in the choir at her local Baptist church.


Andre Leon Talley's conducted the one-on-one interview, which you can view here.

Cover Girl: Lauren Conrad on Cosmo Girl!

OK, I admit it. I watch The Hills. I also watch Girls Next Door. Sue me. Like a car accident, I just can't tear myself away. The Hills (and former Laguna Beach) star Lauren Conrad graces the cover of the March issue of Cosmo Girl! magazine and models girly spring clothes inside the issue. She also dishes about a recent club tussle.

"This girl comes up from behind me and taps me on the shoulder. I turn around to say hi and she says, "You're a b*tch," and pours her drink on me. This is a girl I've never met before in my life ... I've never been in a fight before and I don't think fighting with girls like that is a very classy thing to do."

Lauren recently appeared on an episode of Tyra Banks' talk show with her fellow Hills castmates. This is the first time I have seen her in an interview setting, and I can't say I was impressed. I like her just fine on The Hills, but on Tyra's show, she seemed annoyed that she was even there. Probably an off day, but in her line of work, you can't be having off days on national tv.

It's Nearly Official: Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber Expecting Baby?

We at the Glitter and Gossip offices have definitely heard the rumors recently, though this is the closest it has come so far to a confirmation. Last night, while actress Naomi Watts walked the red carpet for the 2007 Oscars, a rep for Escada, who designed her Oscar gown, issued a press release saying, in part, "The ESCADA gown set off her most precious new asset – the baby she is expecting with longtime boyfriend Liev Schreiber." Ooops.

Naomi walked the red carpet with her good friend, fellow AussieNicole Kidman. Liev has most recently been seen in a guest appearance on CSI. The couple is not married ... yet.

Tom & Katie Party Hardy

Tom Cruise was a presenter at the Oscars last night, but I didn't see his wife, actress Katie Holmes. They did appear together, however, at Vanity Fair's post-Oscars bash. For once, Tom looked debonair and quite cleaned up, much like his Top Gun days. Hair finally trimmed, he looked quite handsome. And Katie? Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Marriage has obviously done wonders for her fashion, which has come a long way since her days on the WB teen angst drama, Dawson's Creek.

Fashion Police: Oscars 2007

Melissa, I love you. Not nearly as much as your girlfriend Tammy Lynn Michaels, does, of course, but I am very fond of you. But hon, we've got to talk. The suit? We've seen it. In hundreds of incarnations. All from you. Let's try something different. Change it up a bit. Hey, did you happen to notice what Ellen did on the cover of W magazine? You can still wear a suit but rock it out a little bit. Go ahead, walk on the wild side. Just a little. We'll still be here, I promise.

No, I don't know why Jennifer Hudson is wearing a little girls' jacket with her Oscar gown either, but when I find out, I'll be sure to let you know. 'Tis a shame, because up until now, it seemed as if the Dreamgirls and American Idol alum star and her stylist were a well-oiled team, getting the styling right red carpet after red carpet. Take off that silly, too-small jacket though, and I think they may be on to something. Oh, but that hair. I almost forgot about the Judy Jetson style plastered to one side of your head. Well, J. Hud, there's always next year.

Forest Whitaker who? The Oscar nominee is completely overshadowed by his gorgeous wife, Keisha. Glowing, almost incandescent, but most of all, beautiful.

No, it's not Mutt and Jeff. It's Nicole Kidman and her best gal pal Naomi Watts. Look closely. Look really closely. On the left side of Nicole Kidman's dress, there is a giant Christmas present bow. Seems she forgot to take off all the wrapping when she put her dress on. If that ridiculously oversized bow was gone, I might be able to forgive the dark eyebrows, bright lipstick and dress that nearly rescisely matches the red carpet. But alas, I cannot. Nicole, we still love you anyway.

With her girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres, hosting the Oscars, actress Portia de Rossi knew there would be some eyes on her, and she pulled it off with flying colors. Beautiful hair, make-up and dress. Stunning and gorgeous.

It's the pose, it's the angle, it's the fit of the gown, it's the style ... and it's all a thumbs down for new mom Maggie Gyllenhaal. Just very unflattering, but at least she got to enjoy a night on the town with her baby's daddy, Peter Sarsgaard.

Divorce certainly seems to agree with actress Reese Witherspoon. Between this and her other recent red carpet appearances, she has never looked more gorgeous. In my opinion, she wins the Most Beautiful award for tonight's red carpet, hands down. Gorgeous.

Good news: Gwyneth Paltrow broke out of her red carpet mold a bit and wore a different color and style and it worked well for her. Bad news: ENOUGH OF THE HAIR DRAPE ALREADY! She kept putting her too-long hair in front, especially any time the camera was on her. Gwynnie, honey, it's ok to put your long hair down your back. We'll still know it's there. Really, we will. Yes, it's pretty. Yes, it's nice and blonde and long. Really long. Did I say too long yet? But let's try something different. Put it behind you. Put it up. But enough of the hair already. It's wearing YOU, instead of the other way around. Okay, I feel better now.

Jennifer Lopez arrives arm-in-arm with husband, Latin crooner, Marc Anthony. Ryan Seacrest mentioned in his red carpet coverage that he thought Jennifer looked "hot." I think she looks good, though I've seen her look better. I wish the make-up was a little more vibrant, but Jenny from the Block still has got it going on.

Couldn't resist adding this second picture of Jennifer Lopez. I like the dress a lot better now that I've seen the entire thing. And how cute is she when she's giggling? Love her.

Another Breakup for JT?

I think they are stretching on a slow gossip news day, but TMZ heard rumors that Jessica Biel looks a bit worse for wear in this picture because she got dumped by Justin Timberlake. She was on her way to red eye flight to NYC. Word is that Justin Timberlake is still hooking up with Scarlett Johansson.

Damn Us Weekly!

Those bastards over at Us Weekly posted this on their blog. Now I can't get "She's like the Wind" out of my head. But at least I only watched the Dirty Dancing scene 3 times. Sigh.

Cuz I've had the time of my life....Dammit!

K-Fed is the Good Guy?

The most interesting thing about Britney going to rehab (other than the fact that she left twice) has to be that somehow Kevin Federline is coming out of this looking like the white knight. People reports that K-Fed went to Promises in Malibu to visit Britney on Friday. He stayed for about an hour and a half.

We still have no details on exactly what Britney is being treated for while in rehab. Her Dad made the vague statement that Britney's problems are "not about what other people think." Reports that Britney was suicidal were denied by her rep, Larry Rudolph.

It's Official: Amanda Peet and Husband Have Baby Girl

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip actress Amanda Peet has given birth to a baby girl earlier this week. Amanda and her husband, screenwriter David Benioff, welcomed Frances Pen on Tuesday. She weighed 6 lbs., 10 oz. and is the couple's first child.

The couple wed last September at a Quaker school in New York. Mark Ruffalo and Elizabeth Berkley were among the wedding guests.

The End of OC

As a fan of the teen angst drama, The OC, I was sad to see it end last night in the series finale, although I will admit that they did a fantastic job of tying up all the loose ends. At least we still have One Tree Hill. The creator of The OC, Josh Schwartz, sat down with Entertainment Weekly magazine to answer some of the burning questions from their readers on this day after. It was a good four years.

If there's anything you could go back to the pilot and change so that it would affect the rest of the show (like a character trait or a line, etc.), what would it be? —TheOCismylife
JOSH SCHWARTZ: I wouldn't change anything in the pilot. I am really proud of the world we created and how we set the stage for the show. Maybe I'd have Luke say, ''Welcome to the O.C., bitch!'' twice to see if we'd be twice as popular... and could've run for eight years! But to be able to start with the pilot and have it plant the seeds for how we would end, 92 episodes and four years later, makes me value it even more.

When, exactly, did the idea for a Ryan/Taylor romance begin? And was it because of fan demand, or did the writers think it up completely on their own? —monnie44

Their romance was percolating in our minds last year, but we really started thinking about it when we were planning for season 4. It was conceived out of our deep love of Autumn Reeser (Taylor) and how much fun the writers knew we could have with Taylor and Ryan. It seemed the perfect salvation to the darkness Ryan would be in after losing Marissa.

Did you ever consider that to have other plotlines for Marissa [besides death], you could have had her evolve as a happier person and truly discover herself, even if it wasn't in Newport? Did you ever consider that you could have pulled the storylines away from her for a while if you felt she was being overdeveloped? —Kat Marissa's character has always been a lightning rod for fan reactions. Having her gain redemption and strength, and the opportunity to say goodbye to her family and friends, before a tragic ending — there was no more fitting, appropriate end for Marissa. I think her character will resonate more powerfully for having ended in this way. And she was honored in the finale episode.

The final scene of the episode ''The Dearly Beloved,'' with Imogen Heap's ''Hide & Seek,'' will probably go down as my favorite music moment from The O.C. — even though there were several others that I really enjoyed, such as Caleb's heart attack to Coldplay's ''Fix You,'' or ''Dice'' in ''The Countdown.'' What was your favorite musical moment/montage ? —latteluver
There are so many... Joseph Arthur's ''Honey and the Moon'' in the pilot, matt pond PA's cover of ''Champagne Supernova'' in ''The Rainy Day Women'' episode, South's ''Paint the Silence'' in ''The Heights,'' and Jason Schwartzman's ''The West Coast'' in ''The French Connection.'' But I think my favorite is Patrick Park's ''Life Is a Song,'' which closes out the final minutes of the episode and The O.C. series. That was our point of view: Life is a song.

What was YOUR favorite season and favorite episode? —BB
The first season will always be my favorite because everything was so new for me — the characters, the cast, the crew — it was a blast! The second season — especially the latter half — was really great, too. I have to say, season 4 comes as a close second. So many of the episodes from this season rank among my favorites, and I am so grateful to those fans who have stuck with the show — I hope you felt rewarded. The finale was for you guys. (And my mom. And the part with the bagel slicer was for Annie...)

Cover Girl: Ellen DeGeneres on W Magazine

Often times, talk show host and comedienne Ellen DeGeneres' beauty gets overlooked. Maybe because she doesn't get dressed up much. Maybe because she's in a relationship with another woman (actress Portia di Rossi). Who knows? But W magazine is tuned into it, and made her their cover girl for the March issue of their fashion magazine.

It's a lengthy article and interview, so there are some excerpts below. The complete transcript can be seen here.

W: We initially asked you to wear a dress. You considered it, but in the end you were passionate about not doing it.
ED: I know what this magazine is. It's a beauty magazine; it's a fashion magazine. For me to even be considered and asked to be on the cover—it's huge…. When I [first] thought about doing it, I thought, Okay, I'll be open to this. I'll play dress-up. Then I thought, I just don't feel comfortable in it. I don't want to apologize for who I am.

W: Do you enjoy fashion?
ED: I usually wear Jil Sander, or I wear Marc Jacobs, or I wear Viktor & Rolf…. I love Raf Simons, but I didn't know he was even doing the [Jil Sander] collection. I like Neil Barrett. I love clothes, so when I wear clothes, they're usually somebody's. You know, I'm not wearing Kmart.

W: Do you think that's the perception?
ED: Whenever Portia and I are on the red carpet, they're yelling out for her to tell them what she's wearing. But nobody cares [about what I'm wearing] because I have a suit on, even if it's a Gucci suit. That to me is frustrating, because I put effort into getting ready too. But I guess it's not as important, and I'm not as dressed up somehow. I also feel myself more of a person than a gender. When people show me clothing that seems very, very feminine, it's hard for me to embrace that, because it just doesn't feel like me…. It was fun [for the shoot] having somebody do that to my hair, and do that makeup. But would I want to do that every single day? No.

W: What will you wear to the Oscars?
ED: Everybody's sending me stuff. Gucci sent me this amazing package with all kinds of different designs and different fabrics, in a beautiful box with my name engraved in gold plate. I picked some fabrics, and they're making me something. Zac Posen made me a gorgeous tuxedo. Viktor & Rolf is making me something…. I wasn't planning on changing because it's just different suits, but I may do it, because I'd like to thank them all for making me stuff, for wanting to do that.

W: Let's talk about the show. Did you expect daytime television to be so grueling?
ED: Every single day, it is my stamp on everything—it's my name—so I have to answer every question. I have to make every decision. I have an amazing team, I have amazing producers, I have amazing writers, but at the end of it, it's me making the decisions on the writing, the tone, the editing…. I want the show to reach people and to be something positive. Because the world is full of a lot of fear and a lot of negativity, and a lot of judgment. I just think people need to start shifting into joy and happiness. As corny as it sounds, we need to make a shift.

W: It has been suggested that it was just that attitude that got you the Oscars, because the show had gotten too nasty and satirical.
ED: For whatever reason it's just the right timing for me.... It is a difficult thing because no matter how popular you are as a stand-up—you can go out and fill a 10,000-seat arena and be smart and funny—it's delicate to host an awards show and know where your place is and know that it's not about you, that it's about the people who are nominated, and respect that, but at the same time have your moment to show them who you are.

W: What do you think of Kathy Griffin?
ED: Very mean…. I know she had a big thing about wanting to be on the show, and we didn't book her. She did a whole thing that I banned her from the show. I didn't ban her from the show, because first you have to be on the show to be banned.

W: What about Sarah Silverman?
ED: I think she's hilarious. I think she's raunchy as can be, not my kind of comedy, but I think she's brilliant. Smart counts for a whole lot to me.

W: Time once quoted you as saying there's too much sex out there.
ED: I do think there's too much, and I don't have a kid. The lyrics of songs, everything; I just feel like every kid is growing up too fast and they're seeing too much. Everything is about sex, and that's fine for me. I'm not saying I don't like it. But I don't think it should be everywhere, where kids are exposed to everything sexual. Because they have to have some innocence; there's just no innocence left.

W: Even as a child in New Orleans, you made a conscious decision to have money?
ED: I wanted to have money, I wanted to be special, I wanted people to like me, I wanted to be famous…. When you're growing up and you see your brother [Vance DeGeneres, now a writer-producer in Hollywood] who's talented and gorgeous and all these things, you want to be all those things. I thought if I could find a way to be famous, people would love me. And then you get all that stuff—and I worked really hard to earn all that—and it sounds crazy, but I got the biggest, [most] wonderful blessing I could get, which was I lost my show, and I lost my entire career, and I lost everything for three years.

W: Why was that a blessing?
ED: Because I got to learn that I was strong enough to start over again. Because I was so angry. I thought, I earned this. I didn't get this because I was beautiful; I didn't get this because I had connections in the business. I really worked my way up to a show, a sitcom that was mine that was successful, that was on for five years. I did what was right: I came out, which was good for me, and ultimately it was the only thing I could do. And then I got punished for it. I was so angry, I was just so angry.

W: At the world?

ED: At the business. I thought, like, magazines were tearing me apart; I was the punch line. I guess that's why I'm so sensitive about negative comedy, because I was the butt of every joke. I was the punch line, and it hurt. And my relationship was very, very public. Then I lost everything, and ultimately I lost that relationship. But I had to look at my part in it, and I had to look at and understand other people's side of it.

W: Are you at all surprised by where you are now?
ED: If I had ever thought that my career would have reached what it did before it dropped, much less then come back…I'm truly in an amazing, amazing place in my life. But I don't want to say I'm surprised, because at the same time, I created it, I thought it, I wanted this. So when I look back on it, every single thing I'm doing is what I've wanted, and I believe that you get what you want.

W: How do you conduct your public life with Portia?
ED: We just don't put out there as much as I would have in the past. But it's silly to try to hide it. I'm not ashamed of it…. We're not joined at the hip, and we're not just a lesbian couple. We have careers.

W: Samuel Beckett wrote that "nothing is funnier than unhappiness," and there's a cliché to the effect that comedians are unhappy people. Is it possible to be happy and funny?
ED: I'm really happy. And I'm pretty funny.

Newsstand Friday: Ok! Magazine

JENNIFER ANISTON
She finally makes friends again with her ex!

Jennifer Aniston reached out to former husband Brad Pitt and his partner Angelina Jolie after the death of Angelina’s mom, Marcheline Bertrand. She sent the couple a note offering her condolences, a gesture that touched Brad and paved the way for the former lovers to reconnect. “Jen was deeply moved by the suffering Brad and Angelina were going through,” a friend of the actress tells OK!. “Having been through a medical crisis with her own father last summer, Jen was able to relate on a very personal level to the pain of losing a parent you love.” With her own life on the right track (there have been signs she may reconcile with ex-boyfriend Vince Vaughn) Jen seems okay with the notion of finally being friends again with Brad.

BRITNEY SPEARS
Are her wacky weekend antics another desperate cry for help?

Britney Spears set off alarms last weekend with a bizarre night on the town that included the 25-year-old single mother of two shaving off her hair and getting new tattoos. After her shaving escapade, Britney announced, “My mom is going to be so upset with me.” Friends and family, who wanted the singer to enter a rehab facility — which Britney did for a day — are now beside themselves, wondering if Britney has become a threat to herself. Only Britney’s mother understands what’s really going on and will do anything to get her baby back. “She feels helpless, the worst feeling in the world for any mother,” a source tells OK!...

JENNIFER HUDSON
The curvy star feels the pressure to lose weight.

Jennifer Hudson has never had a problem with her curves. Playing the "big" girl in Dreamgirls has brought her critical acclaim. But now the managers guiding her skyrocketing career are pressuring the former American Idol contestant to lose weight or see her career hit a dead end. "In the music business, no one in the top 10 is as large as she is," a music industry insider tells OK!. "She has tasted fame and is loving the attention, and is determined to stay in the spotlight for as long as possible. She'll do whatever it takes."

RYAN SEACREST
The busiest man in showbiz takes on another project.

Ryan Seacrest is a busy man. Along with hosting American Idol and reporting celebrity news for the E! network, the multitalented 32-year-old is producing Paradise City, a new reality show chronicling the lives of twentysomethings in Sin City who are determined to break into show business. It doesn't leave him a lot of time to relax. "I don't even calculate social time into Monday through Friday, ever!" he tells OK!. Ryan also gives the inside scoop on his awkward Golden Globes moment with Brad and Angelina.

It's Official: Former Boy Band Star Adds to His Family

Remember the boys band, New Kids on the Block? Long before the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, there was New Kids on the Block, a group of guys, including two brothers, that could sing and dance. Jordan Knight, a member of the former band, has just announced that he and his wife have added to their family by way of Eric Jacob Knight. He was born on Wednesday in Boston, where Knight is from, and weighed 7 pounds, five ounces. "I can't believe the strength of my wife," Knight, 36, tells People magazine. "Now that the intense emotions have passed, I'm walking around on cloud nine!"

Knight's older son, Dante Jordan, 7, just might be the most excited of the family. "He wouldn't sleep for a day and a half until he saw his baby brother," says Knight. "He was priceless."

Last year, Knight released his second solo album, Love Songs, which covers classic ballads. He has also appeared on reality television shows, including The Surreal Life and The Surreal Life Fame Games.

It's a Done Deal: Grey's Anatomy Spin-Off

Just as we reported yesterday, the Grey's Anatomy spin-off is now a done deal, and will not only star Seattle Grace's Dr. Addison Shepherd (played by Kate Walsh), but Taye Diggs is also being added to the cast as well.

The spin-off which will focus on Kate Walsh's character, and start with a two-hour episode scheduled to air in May where Dr. Shepherd will consider leaving Seattle Grace. Grey's writer and creator Shonda Rhimes will be writing that episode and is expected to write the potential spin-off as well.

A New Man for Sex and the City Star Kristin Davis

Rick Fox must be a very good actor, because every time I see him, I think of the sleazeball character he played recently on One Tree Hill, and I don't like him. That being said, Kristin Davis luckily feels otherwise and is rumored to be dating the former LA Lakers star turned actor (and former husband of Ugly Betty's Vanessa Williams).

The fairly new couple were spotted dining at Madeo in Beverly Hills on February 7. "They seemed comfortable," a witness says. "They arrived and left separately, but during dinner, they shared bites of each other's pasta along with a few kisses."

Antonella is a Naughty, Naughty Girl

In anticipation of tonight's American Idol Results show, I thought we all could indulge in the age old game of "let's find dirt on American Idol contestants online." Tonight's spotlight is firmly positioned on Antonella Barba, who, in my opinion, really sucked last night.

Lucky for her, her fame will go on thanks to a whole bunch of half-naked and party pictures that you can check out here. It was only a matter of time....

Nick Cannon Has Vegas Wedding

Us Weekly reports that singer/actor Nick Cannon, 26, married Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks, 24, last weekend in Las Vegas. They were in town for the All-Star weekend and decided to get married after dating for only three weeks. Their friends say a reception party will beheld in LA this weekend.

No confirmation of the nuptials from either's camp, which probably isn't a good sign if it's true!

Judge Rules in Anna Nicole's Case

Well, a judge has rule in one of the cases at least. A weepy judge in Florida (the idiot actually cried on the bench when ruling) found that Dannielynn's guardian (who was appointed by the court) would decide where Anna Nicole should be buried. However, the judge also stated that he thinks she should be buried next to her son Daniel in the Bahamas.

The court appointed guardian has already announced that he agrees with the judge and Anna Nicole Smith will be buried in the Bahamas.

Still no word on who the baby's daddy is.

Britney in Rehab, Take 3

Looks like Britney got scared straight. After Britney left rehab for the second time this week, her ex-husband, Kevin Federline threatened an emergency custody hearing to get custody of the kids. Apparently that was enough to freak Britney out, so she checked herself into rehab last night for the third, yes, the third, time this week.

Us Weekly got confirmation that Brit returned to Promises in Malibu, the rehab center to the stars. Word on the street is that if she checks out before completing treatment, Federline will renew his quest to get custody. The kids have been with Federline since last week. Who would have thought that he'd be the better parent of the two?

America's Next Top Model is Almost Here

The eighth season of CW's popular reality show, America's Next Top Model, premieres on February 28th at 8 pm with a 2 hour episode. Hosted by Tyra Banks, all your favorite judges are back, including Twiggy, J. Alexander and Nigel Barker.

This time, Tyra has included not one, but two, plus size contestants because she said with more than one, they will have someone else in the house they can identify with. Whatever the reason, I'm glad she did it. She said that this season does not feature the typical beauty that you would usually associate as a Top Model, and that ANTM works to broaden the usual definition of beauty.

Can't wait for the first episode? Check out a short preview clip right here.
