It's babies and relationships this week!

The Jolie-Pitt family have flown to France where it’s expected that Angelina will give birth. It’s still unconfirmed whether the actress is expecting twins but Brad and Ange will soon have a brood of five or six on their hands!

Jessica Simpson is spilling the beans on her relationship with US footballer Tony Romo. The singer has told Glamour magazine that Romo has made her more confident. "He reintroduced me to myself," she says. "I thought that I had to be deeper, more profound and more artsy. You change with the guys you date”…mmm, that sounded like a dig at ex-boyfriend John Mayer to me!

Speaking of John Mayer his Miami date with Jennifer Aniston is still making headlines. The reliable US Magazine is saying the pair are in love after spending 5 days sharing a hotel room! There’s a nine-year age gap but who knows, maybe he’s the guy for Jen…

CSI star Gary Dourdan has been arrested on possession of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescribed pills. The 41 year-old actor was found sleeping in his car by a patrol officer in the Palm Springs area of California.

Jamie-Lynn Spears is expecting a girl! According to Life & Style magazine the teenager’s due date is June 29th. Britney’s two boys will have a baby cousin to play with soon!

There's been some big stories in celebland today and here's my pick of the bunch...

They haven’t said a word about their wedding but the truth is out for Beyonce and Jay-Z. People magazine has exclusively reported that the couple filed their signed wedding license last Friday in New York, which makes them officially Mr & Mrs.

Kanye West is a free man: the rapper was engaged to Alexis Phifer but the couple have broken it off. Alexis, a designer, has spoken about their decision: "It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends. I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met." The couple had been engaged for 18 months.

Scottish actor Ewan McCregor has announced he’s suffering from skin cancer. The 37-year-old actor recently had a mole removed from his face that turned out to be cancerous. Ewan said he’s fine now but spoke about the dangers of the sun.

And finally… Victoria Beckham sure is confusing: virtually overnight she went from tacky wag to fashion businesswoman, and during the Spice Girls tour she kept it clear she’s not a singer anymore she’s a designer…then I hear Mrs B is going to perform with the Pussycat Dolls! What?! The band’s spokesperson Alisa Boushey said: “Victoria’s been in talks with the Dolls for some time and will be joining them on-stage. She would have done it sooner but it’s been a question of her busy schedule. But it will be happening very soon.” What do you think - can you see Posh performing with the raunchy Dolls???

It's birthday celebration No3 for Victoria!

Victoria Beckham turned 34 last Thursday and has celebrated an incredible 3 times! Last week Mr and Mrs Becks went to Eva Longoria's LA restaurant Beso accompanied by a select group of A-list friends, the following day the family took a trip to Mexican restaurant chain Pink Taco and last night it was another star studded affair at posh restaurant Via Veneto. Famous couples included Will and Jada Smith, Kate Beckinsale and husband Len Wiseman, Gewn Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Usher and his wife, Sean Combs and Kim Porter (are they back on?!) and most notably Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes - putting rumours of a rift firmly to a stop.

In other Beckham news David's alleged former mistress Rebecca Loos is set to talk about their relationship on TV talk show 'Generation Sex'...mmm, bet they're well chuffed about that!

But for now you can check out some photos of Vicky B's birthday bash below...

Weekend Shenanigans

Brian McFadden has spoken out against his ex-wife Kerry Katona to the News of the World. The former couple have two children together and Brian said Kerry ‘embrarresses’ him: "She manipulates people and plays the sympathy card for every stupid mistake she makes. She uses my two girls as a weapon in her childish games. She is an embarrassment to me, my family and my children." This is the first time Brian has commented in this way and I have a feeling Kerry won’t be taking it quietly…

A new couple alert is hinting at Ryan Gosling and post-rehab Kirsten Dunst (but he was sooo perfect with Rachel McAdams!) Kirsten was last linked to Razorlight's Jonnny Borrell. 

Ryan Phillippe told The Times Magazine about the effect paparazzi have on his daughter: “She's aware and it creates in her a lot of anxiety, which is partly my fault. When Ava was very young, I was young too. I'd get ... visibly angry at the paparazzi back then," he said. "She was my first child, and my instinct was to protect her." He also admitted that he underestimated how hard being in a high-profile relationship would be (Phillippe’s ex-wife is Reese Witherspoon).

Sandra Bullock and her husband Jesse James were involved in a car crash when a drunk driver hit them head on – luckily no one was seriously injured.

It's nice to see Hollywood exes getting along and over the weekend Justin Timberlake supported his former love Cameron Diaz at her father's funeral. Emilio Diaz was only 58 when his dies of pneumonia last week.

And lastnight it was the BAFTA TV awards and Harry Hill won the Entertainment Performance for his show TV Burp, which also won the BAFTA for Entertainment Programme - much deserved I think. 

This week's tabloid tales...

A look at what the magazines are telling us!

 

Life & Style: it's a pregnancy special with Ashlee Simpson, Angelina Jolie and Jamie Lynn Spears all appearing on the front of this U.S magazine. Apparently friends of Ashlee are shocked that she’s got pregnant before marrying her boyfriend Pete Pentz as she comes from such a religious background. It’s still being reported that Angie is expecting twins, neither her or Brad have commented on the pregnancy and rumours of double-trouble have been circulating for months – I’m thinking this could be true which would bring their brood up to six!

Britain's Grazia magazine is reporting that Jennifer Aniston is to adopt a little boy, it's not the first time this rumour has gone round - but is it true? The Friends actress has previously denied this but now that her friend Sheryl Crow has adopted a baby Jen's eyes may have been opened to motherhood without a father figure. 

In Touch Weekly is reporting on the state of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ marriage: after three years together their relationship is meant to be in trouble, a rumour that has been doing the rounds this week. The couple, or their daughter Suri, haven’t been pictured together for a while, strange as usually they thery are out wining and dining with their A-list buddies.

Also according to the mag Benji Madden intends on settling down and marrying new girlfriend Paris Hilton!

Star Magazine also dedicates their issue to Tom and Kate’s marriage: ‘Trial Separation: The fight for Suri’. According to Star Katie “is trying to break away from her controlled life under the watchful eyes of her husband and move to Manhattan in what will be a sort of trial separation”…mmm, only time will tell.

Mid-week whispers

When a rumour just doesn’t give up, when you can’t avoid seeing it spread further and further, it usually ends up being true. Take the whole Brad and Jen divorce, then Angelina’s two pregnancies, and Ryan and Reese’s break-up…they were all denied but after weeks of media speculation they all ended up being true. The latest rumour going over-drive is that Ashlee Simpson is pregnant - you can’t avoid it! Ashlee just got engaged to her Fall Out Boy boyfriend Pete Wentz and they’re both saying she isn’t pregnant. Mmmm…Watch this space but I’d bet on this one being true!

When Paris Hilton and Benji Madden first came out as a couple - with

matching diamond encrusted initial rings - the world’s press screamed ‘media stunt!’ (after all his twin brother is the partner of her BFF Nicole Richie) but several weeks later they’re still together. This week Paris’ parents have told the world how in love their daughter is. Kathy Hilton said: "He’s changed her life—and I really think she’s genuinely in love for the first time. He’s so good to her and for her. We couldn’t be happier for them. This has honestly become the real thing.”

Earlier in the week I reported that Victoria Beckham’s dVb fashion line is being dropped by many U.S retailers, but Fraser Ross, owner of hip store Kitson, has said he’ll still be stocking the jeans but isn’t impressed with the Spice Girl’s business: "Contrary to reports, we haven't dropped the line but her line hasn't been performing due to her lazy attitude. She lives 15 minutes from the store and it's bad business that she doesn’t come in." So guess what Mrs Beckham did today? That’s right, she got herself down to Kitson!

Gwyneth Paltrow is the latest celebrity to reveal she struggled with post-natal depression. She told May’s issue of Vogue magazine: "I felt really out of my body. I felt really disconnected. I felt really down … I felt pessimistic”. The actress, who is married to Coldplay’s Chris Martin, suffered with the depression after her second child was born in 2006.

Weekend round-up

Sad news… it has been confirmed that a body found near Paddington Station is that of TV presenter Mark Speight. His body was found in an unused building near platform one and it is believed he took his own life. He had been missing since early last week after the inquest into the death of his fiancé. Speight is best known for presenting children's programme smARTt on CBBC.

2008 has so far been the year of celebrity babies and the weekend added two more to the count as Australian actress Cate Blanchett gave birth to her third son. The baby, who was born in Sydney, has been named Ignatius Martin and is brother to Dashiell John, 5, and Roman Robert, 3.
Closer to home Kerry Katona finally popped out her fourth child after a 60 hour labour! Kerry and husband Mark Croft welcomed their son 5 weeks early but according to MTV, who films the couple’s reality show, the baby is healthy and Kerry returned to her Cheshire home yesterday. The baby has been named Max, after PR guru Max Clifford!

Noel Gallagher has voiced his opinions on Glastonbury’s 2008 line-up: “I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance. Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong.” Jay-Z has been a controversial headliner that’s for sure and this year tickets took a while to sell out – coincidence?

Victoria Beckham’s fashion project isn’t going to plan – she’s being dropped by many top retailers in the U.S! Her dVb denim line just isn’t selling well, not surprising when you look at the £200+ price tag. Kitson, a boutique favoured by many A-listers, has decided to stop stocking the Spice Girl’s jeans, store owner Fraser Ross explains: "we asked her PR people so many times for her to appear but she didn't. Celebrity lines are no different from an album or music tour. They have to be promoted to sell." Posh wasn’t too bothered though as she cheered husband David on at a football match over the weekend. New pal Kate Beckinsale also tagged along…is there anyone in L.A that Victoria hasn’t made friends with?!

After weeks of Britney Spears keeping away from the headlines she’s back in them, and for the wrong reasons. On Saturday Britney was involved in a minor car crash. According to the accident report it seems Spears was to blame: “The collision occurred when the driver of the Mercedes, driving in the #3 lane, in stop and go traffic failed to observe the vehicle directly ahead of her come to a complete stop. She attempted to brake but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding into the rear of the Nissan [in front of her].” But the singer was unhurt and later that evening went for dinner with her mother.

It was the London Marathon yesterday and several familiar faces took part. Committed runner Gordon Ramsey, rower James Cracknell and Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden all made the finish line. Kate Lawler, of Big Brother fame, ran the 26 miles dressed in skimpy underwear which can’t have been comfortable!

Friday's round-up

Kylie Minogue’s hopes of finally cracking America haven’t gone well – the singer’s X album has entered the charts at number 139 after only selling a miserable 5,500 copies. Poor Kylie!





Kerry Katona is still in labour. MTV announced three days ago that the reality star had gone into labour 5 weeks early. Kerry and husband Mark are in hospital waiting for the arrival of their son, but they found time to film a short clip for MTV.co.uk. It must be said that Kerry wasn't looking great!





Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey were in London last night for the premiere of their new film Fool’s Gold. Matthew looked OK, a little boring I think, but I’m really not sure about Kate’s dress…what do you think?





Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are to be married, according to the National Enquirer anyway. The Spanish actors have been dating since last summer and the tabloid magazine is reporting that they got engaged last month.






Jordan and Peter Andre are planning to record another album together – ‘why?’ I hear you ask. Well apparently the reality couple want to follow up their 2006 record ‘A Whole new World’ with a new extra long album and all the proceeds will be going to charity - ahh, that's nice.






The usually private Natalie Portman was spotted out and about with her new man – singer Devendra Banhart. The couple didn’t hide their relationship and were photographed kissing and cuddling as they walked the streets of New York. Portman was recently in Banhart’s music video for the song Carmensita.






Love could be on the rocks for Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds who were seen having a spat in Boston where Reynolds is filming a romcom with Sandra Bullock. Apparently the couple stormed off when they noticed paparazzi in the area. Reynolds, 32, was rumoured to be keen on marrying the 23 year-old actress, who instead wants to focus on her career.





Cameron Diaz is looking gorgeous in the new 'W' magazine, have a look for yourself…





In the interview the actress talks about her dreams as a child: "I wanted to be a zoologist, to study the sociology of animals. But that’s pretty much what I do now anyway. I thought I’d be on the plains of Africa watching lions, but instead I’m in Hollywood watching train wrecks.” And then she busts out laughing and adds hastily, “I’m just kidding.”





Quotes of the day:

"I wish all the girls the best of luck. Better them than me."

- Heather Mills, about her ex-husband's love life in her first interview since winning £24.3 million in a divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney
