So on the radio this morning a few of the lame local radio DJs actually said something interesting! Whoa! They were talking about Lindsey Lohan’s recent arrest after driving drunk, again. She is all over every newspaper, magazine, and newscast for her recent behavior. They say… she is out of control and a drunk…She had cocaine…She is back in rehab… or no she is not! This was right on the heels of Britney Spears going off the deep end and shaving her head, flashing her undies all over (even after the infamous crotch shot), and a new interview with OK magazine where she behaved like a loon. How much further can young Hollywood really go to shock us without killing themselves?? So the DJ this morning projected that sobriety was going to be the next new thing! I have to say it is looking like he may be right.

Paris Hilton is a great example. She made a sex tape, flashed her crotch, drove drunk and we all were appalled. Then she went to jail as punishment and repented. Now she is seen frolicking sober.   She says she has learned a lesson. Paris Hilton could become the next positive role model for our children! Wow, how the tables can turn.

I don’t know about you but I am tired of reading about drunk, misbehaving, immature celebrities. I am tired of everyone’s comments on them too. Celebrities thriving off  other’s bad press by writing an open letter to them on how they should turn their life around. I think this DJ could be onto something here.  The next thing the tabloids will be writing about is a trend in Hollywood of celebrities going to church on Sunday, drinking pomegranate juice at the club and hiring designated drivers instead of bodyguards for the few occasions when they do have a sip of Cristal.

I hadn’t heard too much about Paula Abdul’s new reality TV show but I pretty much knew it was going to be a train wreck. But hey, sometimes train wrecks get ratings though - look at the Simple Life! Well Perez Hilton posted this YouTube clip from her show :). This chick is off her rocker! Does she not have a publicist warning her of starring in her own show? Sure is fun to watch though.

Hollywood is baby obsessed right now. Celebrity gossip and news sites are reporting everyday on who is expecting, who has popped, and who has a “baby bump”. Some of the stories conflict, others are dismissed in a few days. This makes it hard to keep track. Here is a quick rundown…

Who Popped:

• Jeff Gordan and his wife, model Ingrid Vandebosch, gave birth to a baby girl. They named her Ella Sofia Gordon. Yes, I know, who cares?

• Keri Russell, (she will always be felicity to me) just had a baby boy with husband Shane Deary. In case you were wondering he is a carpenter that she met through friends and you can see him here.
  

• Julia Roberts popped out another one. Luckily she did because she was huge and she is not the most beautiful pregnant woman I have seen. Remember Catherine Zeta Jones pregnant? Now that was a good looking pregnant woman.
  Now Julia has a Phineas, a Hazel, and a Henry. Anyone taking bets on whether Henry ends up being the normal one or the black sheep of the family?

Who has the bump:

• It has been reported that Christina Aguilera and her husband are expecting. There haven’t been any bump sightings but she supposedly passed on drinks the last time she was out at da club.

Page Six reports: “She’s been telling friends,” said one snitch, who revealed, “she has to be three months now, because she’s announcing it.”

Like I said it is still just a “bump watch”. I wouldn’t call this one confirmed.

• Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise have been subject to the “bump watch” this past week. She was seen rocking a bathing suit and playing with her daughter Suri recently and I saw no bump whatsoever. I think this one is false.

• Demi Moore has been added to the list but in my opinion is the least likely to be. So she wore baggy clothes? Maybe she just had her Aunt Flo. Anyway Demi is pushing 50 and I am not sure how much longer babies are going to be an option.

• Holly Madison, Hugh Hefner’s main girl (the one that looks like barbie as a bobble-head) is now part of the watch. She has been not so quiet about the fact that she wants to have a baby and they are saying maybe within a year.
  

• Nicole Ritchie might be pregnant or she may just have a swollen belly because she ate her whole lunch today. I don’t know but the rumors are swirling. There are reports that she is wearing an engagement ring too. It is definitely not a good time for her to get pregnant though, with her legal troubles and all. Good Luck Nicole.

• Hollywood is drooling to hear the news that Halle Berry is pregnant and I am not really sure why. There have been rumors on and off for the past year. Now she was seen about a month ago shopping for baby clothes and the gossip hounds are on the scent again.

• The rumors have been that Jennifer Gardner and Ben Affleck are expecting again. We will leave this one as unconfirmed.

Who is Expecting:

• Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are expecting their first child now. She has been pictured with her bountiful belly recently and she look healthy and happy. Congrats to the couple.

• Salma Hayek surprised everyone when she appeared not only with a swollen belly but news that she was engaged to Francois-Henri Pinault. I know… who? All you need to know is that he has gray hair and he is not hot.

• Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady are expecting but unfortunately it is not the happy story anyone expected. Right after announcing this pregnancy Brady took off and started a relationship with Gisele Bundchen.

• Trista and Ryan Sutter, the lucky couple that actually ended The Bachelor with a relationship and eventually a marriage now will have a child too. I really hope that they don’t air the birth on the Lifetime channel though.

• Sacha Baron Cohen is having a baby with fiancee, Isla Fisher. For those of you who don’t know she is the crazy red-head from the movie “Wedding Crashers”.
  

So I have been seeing a lot of this story on celebrity gossip sites lately. It basically says that John Travolta and Kelly Preston have a son named Jett that is autistic. They go on to say that the couple refuses to admit the child has this disability or they say he has “Kawasaki disease”. There are some that are saying their denial comes from the Church of Scientology where people with mental illnesses are “degraded” and they believe the disabled are capable of curing themselves by working harder on the church’s teachings.
The couple lawyers claim that the story is false.

I don’t know how much of this story is true or not but I do think that either way you look at it this situation it is sad and maybe the celebrity gossip sites should hold off reporting until they have some hard facts. If the Travoltas do have a son who is autistic, and they refuse to acknowledge it, then I sympathize with their son who is suffering when he’s not getting the proper care. If the story is false then I wonder what kind of nasty person makes up a horrible story about good parents and spreads it to the papers. This is certainly a case where a reporter has to have the decency to research the allegations prior to printing it and then carefully proceed. These are some harsh allegations and lets face it, it’s not like seeing OJ over a body with a bloody knife. We don’t know very much about their son. It’s also not like reporting Britney is dating her drug counsler. That doesn’t hurt anyone. Her kids aren’t going to get taken away from her.
What do you think? Is there a line where celebrity gossip goes too far? Or are celebrities agreeing to this kind of speculation when they accept those 10 million dollar picture deals?

I haven’t written in a few days because I have been out in the country. That’s right, the country! I thought going with boyfriend to his family’s “rustic” cabin would be relaxing … no internet, no email, no cell phone coverage. In actuality I found the bugs, cobwebs, rainy weather and mice making me uncomfortable and grouchy. We were on day two in the cabin and it was rainy and cold again I was hitting the point of being miserable. My boyfriend came and saw the frown on my face and said he had something to cheer me up. He unfolded the Life section of a USA Today he had picked up from the airport on his way in. “Here is some juice to cheer my girlfriend up”, he said. It was like giving a starving man a porterhouse steak. I was ecstatic. This small link to the outside world made me feel a hundred times more comfortable. I ended up spending the next few hours in a chair reading the latest celebrity gossip. I ended up falling asleep with the rumpled newspaper on my lap like it was a sweet bedtime story.
