A Big Juicy Update

Matt Damon is now completely outnumbered after his wife gave birth to a baby girl. The new arrival has been named Gia Zavala and joins two-year-old Isabella and half sister Alexia, aged 10. Matt's rep said "Everyone is great, she's healthy and beautiful." Matt has said he'll take the rest of the year off to spend time with his wife Luciana and their three girls.

For those waiting for the official word, wait no more - Jen Garner has finally confirmed her pregnancy. Whilst at an LA event a reporter asked Jennifer about any upcoming projects, her response? Pointing to her belly and replying 'this'! The actress later told Access Hollywood: "We're so excited, obviously", then joked "Oh, I'm not pregnant. I just had a lot of carbs for breakfast. It's just — what do they call it — a breakfast pouch?" This will be baby number two for Jennifer and husband Ben Affleck, who already have daughter Violet.

Probably the most unexpected news this week is that Ricky Martin is the father of twin boys...who were born by surrogate mother. A statement from the singer's rep read: "The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky's full-time care. Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children." This news has increased speculation about Ricky's sexuality, who has never confirmed or denied such rumours.

Speculation on whether Eva Longoria Parker is expecting have heightened this week with the actress wearing baggy clothes and the spotting of a potential baby bump. Just recently Desperate Housewives' creator Marc Cherry told US Weekly of the actress' baby plans: "Eva is desperately trying to get pregnant with Tony Parker," adding "After they phone their doctor, she promised me I will be the next call".

Former S Club 7 singer Rachel Stevens is tipped to star in this year's Strictly Come Dancing. Rachel, whose career hasn't done brilliantly since the band split, could join footballer Teddy Sherringham and George Clooney's ex, Lisa Snowdon. The dancing show will be on BBC1 from next months.

My Favourite news of the week: The Notebook lovers are back on! Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have been spotted canoodling in Canada, several publications have confirmed. The pair began their romance after the movie wrapped in 2004 but suddenly parted ways last year. On the split Ryan told GQ magazine that "The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin' and we called it a draw." The couple won an MTV award for best kiss in The Notebook and famously recreated it for their acceptance speech.

Mid-week whispers

USmagazine is reporting that Kate Hudson and Lance Armstong's romance has already come to an end. The couple had been dating for three months and were soon taking their children out together and even having dinner with Kate's ex-husband! A source told to reliable magazine that "there was no drama or ugliness – they just decided to end things. "There is no hatred, just sadness." This doesn't help Kate's reputation as a serial dater...

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's new baby twins were the result of IVF. According to USmagazine Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline were not conceived naturally because the couple wanted to quickly add to their brood. “They conceived through in vitro fertilization,” a source told US. “They both desperately wanted more babies soon.” Their decision was apparently because IVF raises the chances of twins from 1% to 25%. The source added: “[Angie did it so] she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant. She could just knock it out.”
In other Brangelina news People magazine has reportedly made the winning big for exclusive photos of the babies. The amount is between $10-$15 million which the couple will donate to charity. People also had the first pictures of baby Shiloh.

Shia LaBeouf was not to blame for the crash which left his SUV upside-down. According to the Sheriff's spokesperson: "The other car ran a red light. "They will now be listed as Party One on the report, indicating they were at fault." Shia was arrested for misdemeanour DUI and those charges remain. The actor's rep said he is "currently recovering from extensive hand surgery with plans to return to work on the set of Transformers 2 within one month."

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell have announced they're expecting twins. People magazine is already reporting that the babies are both girls. The couple married in July 2007 and will welcome they're babies this winter.

The BIG four

Balthazar Getty has finally addressed the state of his marriage after he was pictured with a barely-dressed Sienna Miller in Italy last week. The Brothers and Sisters actor released a statement saying: "In light of the fact that many pictures have surfaced in print and on the Internet which has caused myself and my family great embarrassment, I felt it necessary to at least acknowledge publicly that yes indeed my wife and I have separated and I will not be commenting any further." Embarrassed? I should think so. Sienna is now back in London, looking rather sheepish it must be said.
However, a source close to Balthazar's wife, Rosetta, has told PerezHilton.com that the actor "was 100% NOT separated from her when he started dating Sienna," adding that "Rosetta is heartbroken. She has an 8 month old baby and three other kids with Balthazar." Dear oh dear.

Word that Kate Moss and Jamie Hince had gone their separate ways is apparently unfounded as the two were spotted hand-in-hand in London yesterday. Jamie, who's in the band The Kills, was seen moving his stuff out of Kate's house at the start of this month, sparking rumours the couple of nearly a year had split. The pair shopped in Selfridges and looked happy as they walked down Oxford Street. Maybe he's the one for Kate?...

Amy Winehouse's husband has been sentenced to 27 months in prison, but because of the time he's already spent in jail he'll likely be out around Christmas time. Blake Fielder-Civil was sentenced for assaulting a pub-landlord and attempting to pervert the course of justice. The singer didn't attend her husband's hearing.
In an interview in this week's OK! Amy told the magazine: 'He'll be out on the 21st. Please God. He will. And then I can't wait.' She also talked of their hopes of a family: 'Blake is going to be the most amazing dad. When Blake was about we talked about it all the time.' Blake's mother recently said she didn't want her son to go back to Amy for fears they'll both die from drugs.

Peaches Geldof had a suspected overdose, according to The Sun. Ambulance services have confirmed they were called to the singer/socialite's home on Sunday afternoon. A source told The Sun that “Peaches could not breathe for several minutes after suffering a respiratory arrest. Her friend had to give chest pumps and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation." It is thought she could have suffered brain damage or even died if it weren't for the friend's actions. Peaches mother Paula Yates died from a drugs overdose in 2000. Peaches did not go to hospital after the incident but was well enough to attend Monday night's Dark Knight premier.

What you need to know this week

It's been confirmed (kind of!) - Jennifer Garner and Ben Aflleck are indeed expecting another baby. Although there has been no official word Jennifer's former co-star Victor Garber answered 'yes' when asked by Us magazine if the rumours were true. Another source told the reliable publication that the actress is already five months pregnant. Ben and Jen have been married since 2005 and have a daughter named Violet. They make such a cute, happy family - it's so weird that Ben was once engaged to J.Lo!

Salma Hayek is no longer engaged to her baby daddy. The Latino actress and French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault had been dating since May 2006, but only acknowledged their relationship in March last year when they announced their engagement and pregnancy. Baby Valentino was born last September but the couple remained low-key. Salma's rep released this statement: "We are sad to announce the engagement of Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault has been cancelled. There will be no further comment." Sad but not surprising.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have agreed a custody arrangement for their two boys, Sean Preston and Jayden. Kevin will keep sole custody and Britney will have visitation rights. The pop-star lost all rights to see her children in January when she was hospitalised. These days Britney is looking much happier, apparently she is even working on a new album...

American tabloid In Touch has been telling porkies. The magazine's latest issue has a story entitled 'Jen's worst nightmare: John betrays her'. The mag claims that John Mayer hit on someone and described his relationship status as 'vague' whilst in Amsterdam last month, but the woman in question says it never happened. In fact she's so annoyed she's considering taking legal action: "None of this is true," Chaton Anderson told Us magazine, "I met John Mayer almost a year ago, I don't understand why they've said it was this year."

Sienna Miller isn't doing much to shed her man-eater reputation. The actress and Balthazar Getty, a married father-of-four, previously denied their relationship but pictures taken of the two spoke louder than words. The pair have been acting like a couple of loved-up teenagers whilst vacationing in Italy. Getty and wife Rosetta have been married since 2000. A friend told People magazine that "It's humiliating. Rosetta left the country to protect the kids, and he continues to see Sienna publicly." It's thought that the affair started before Sienna broke-up with Rhys Ifans.

New post soon!

Hi Everyone,

sorry for the lack of up-dates - last week I had a work placement at SKY's Showbiz website and this week my dissertation is due! A new post will be up very soon as there is lots of entertainment news I need to write about!

Check back soon,

Tegan X

A busy mid-week up date

This week's US Magazine is saying that Jake Gyllenhaal has moved in with Reese Witherspoon: it says the actress has taken 'the next step as she commits to a man who's kind to her kids and gives her the love she deserves.' US is usually pretty accurate with their stories so this may be true...I hope so - they make a great couple!

As mentioned in my last blog Anne Hathaway just broke up with her boyfriend of four-years Raffaello Follieri. Well it seems that the actress ditched him just in time as the shady Italian businessman has been formally arrested and his bail posted at a staggering $21 million! The 29 year-old was arrested early Tuesday morning at his Trump Tower apartment and tested positive for opiates. Raffaello is in some serious trouble: he has been charged with 12 counts of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering.

Jennifer Garner has hit back at a report her marriage to Ben Affleck is over. America's E! network said that "the reason Jen and Ben are always seen cooing over adorable daughter Violet separately" is because they have split up. Jennifer's rep says that the story is "100% fabricated" with "not one ounce of truth." These two seem like a pretty solid couple to me.

Jessica Simpson was interviewed on The View earlier today and said that she's still with Tony Romo: "We're still together ... we've been together for about seven months — almost eight." But she added "I don't know about wedding bells ... but I'm still with him, so that's a good sign."

Christian Bale has told Parade magazine that Heath Ledger, his co-star in The Dark Knight, was 'a kindered spirit' to him and that he misses the late actor, who died in January after an accidental overdose. Christian said that he hoped the new Batman film will be a celebration of Heath's work and not like 'the hideous circus after he died' which he felt 'was an invasion of a private life.'

Kylie Minogue and Olivier Martinez could be back together, according to the Daily Mail. The pair had lunch with friends and family in Paris, looking very comfortable in each other's company. The former couple sat close together and were laughing and being very touchy feely. Olivier was with Kylie whilst she battled breast cancer but the couple broke up soon after she received the all clear.

And lastly... it appears Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's relationship is going from strength to strength! The Friends star has flown to England to be with musician John as he does a 10 night tour in Europe. Plus Jen's good friend David Arquette has spoken about the couple saying "they're great". I have a good feeling about these two...

Busy busy busy...

Charlotte Church is having another baby! The singer's website announced the news: "Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson are delighted to announce that they are expecting another baby. The couple are thrilled, as are their immediate families." It's only nine months since Char gave birth to their daughter Ruby.

It seems as though Sienna Miller and Rhys Ifans have indeed ended their year long romance. Although it's been in the rumour mill for a couple of weeks neither has confirmed and Sienna is in this month's ELLE magazine saying how loved up she is... but the usually inseparable pair haven't been seen together and poor Rhys has cut a very sad figure of late. If reports are to be believed Sienna did the dumping over the phone - talk about harsh! 

Little Britain's Matt Lucas is getting a divorce - which will be the first celebrity gay divorce since same sex marriages were legalised. Matt and Kevin McGee had a civil partnership only 18-months ago and celebrated with a panto themed party with lots of their celeb pals. 

Britney Spears has landed in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, awaiting the immanent birth of her sister's first child. Kid's TV star Jamie Lynn, whose 17, is due to give birth any day and the Spears family are all rallying around.

Anne Hathaway has apparently ditched her longtime boyfriend, Italian businessman, Raffaello Follieri. The couple had been together for four years and in recent months Raffaello's business has been under investigation for missing tax forms. The Devil Wears Prada star has been smiling sweetly down the red carpet this week as she promotes her latest film Get Smart.

And finally... Matthew McConaughey has a sense of humour! The New York Daily News ran a story criticising the actor for leaving his pregnant girlfriend at home to get drunk, saying he "had to be helped out of a Nicaraguan bar the other night after dancing with an assortment of babes" and was seen shouting about his missing flip-flop. So Matthew replied to the report via e-mail saying: "Drunk? Absolutely. Nicaragua is a beautiful place, epic waves, the best surfing I have ever been on. And yes, I'm STILL looking for my left flip-flop. So if anyone finds it floating around down there (it has 6:22 stitched into the side), please send it my way. There is a reward."
