She was born at the Welwitschia Clinic located in Walvis Bay. And according to government officials, this Jolie-Pitt child could actually get a Namibian citizenship.

As part of their celebration, the couple donated $300,000 to help other babies in the country. The money would be used to improve hospitals’ maternity wards. What did the couple say about this? “We want to contribute to Namibia and the people who have been so gracious to us at this time.”

Last Friday, rocker chick Gwen Stefani gave birth to her baby born. The little one was born in Los Angeles. Gwen gave birth through a caesarian section. According to a statement by the couple: “Both mother and child are doing well.”

Well, that’s good news. At least, there are no news of somebody eating somebody else’s placenta.

So what’s the name of the baby? Gwen Stefani’s son holds the name Kingston James McGregor Rossdale. He was born at the Cedas-Sinai Medical Center and he weighed 7 pounds and 5 ounces.

This is according to Nicole’s father, Lionel Richie. He also tells reporters that he will be providing the entertainment for the whole bash.

Now, go read what he told his princess: 'Honey, you do what you want and just send me the bill.' He even adds, “Of course I am going to be there for her, and I'll be singing - there's no way I couldn't. I'm really happy that it's working out for her."

Will It Be A Brangelina Holiday In Namibia?

Well, it seems like half of Namibia is wishing that it would be a national holiday when Angelina Jolie gives birth. This is what the results of an informal radio survey reflected. Anyway, a national holiday is a kind of honor given to kings, queens, and national heroes.

So let me ask. Since when has Angelina been a hero or a queen?

Well, they sure are celebrities and have created quite a frenzy in that country. They arrived in Namibia a couple of weeks back. The couple came with their two children.

Where’s Kevin?

Some reports say that Britney Spears has not seen her husband since she told the public that she was pregnant. I wonder where he went to?

Some reports say that Kevin Federline is out there somewhere recording and working on his new rap album. Poor Britney. Now she’s stuck alone with her baby Sean Preston. She even celebrated her first Mother’s Day alone in Los Angeles.

So Okay. It's Taylor Hicks. The Idol.

America voted. Taylor Hicks got the top spot.

Taylor Hicks won the “American Idol” contest. Hicks is from Alabama. And he is only 29 years old.

You see, Taylor has had a lot of following already. There are already groups and clubs and organizations comprised by people who simply adore the guy.

So who is Taylor Hicks?

See that gray-haired guy over there?

That’s him.

Jennifer Aniston & Vince Vaughn

Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn have been seen together in various occasions. This couple has been showing off their sweet stuff not only on camera but behind the camera as well. Jennifer is 37 while Vince is a year younger.

The most recent occasion where they appeared together was a press junket at the Casa Del Mar hotel and it was all about their new movie titled, “The Break-Up” which could be opening on June 2nd.

According to Jennifer, “I felt really safe with him. I immediately felt comfortable and like I’d know him for awhile. I loved the way we would volley together. I had that on FRIENDS, where we would just have a trust but that was also 10 years in the making and we just met and had it pretty instantly.”

Sean Preston: Ouch!

Poor Preston. He almost fell.

What happened?

Last Thursday, Britney Spears was leaving the Ritz Carlton Hotel which was in New York. She was making her way through the crowd of people trying to have a look at the pop star turned mother. And Britney was holding a glass in one hand and Sean Preston in the other.

And then the unexpected happened.

No. There were no ETs. No. there were no stalkers.

She just tripped. That’s all.

But Sean’s hat flew off. His head snapped back. Good thing, her bodyguard was able to save the baby by backing him up with his hand.

And yes, Britney cried after that.

Jessica: Bye-Bye Assistant

It’s time to say goodbye. This goes true for Jessica Simpson. What happened is that her best friend, CaCee Cobb has just recently resigned her position as Jessica’s assistant. This was because Cobb is out to pursue her own showbiz career. Maybe she wanted to feel the thrill that Jessica was experiencing.

Oh no!

You see, there were a couple of reports that Cobb has been seen partying with Jessica’s ex-husband Nick Lachey. So. What is this all about now? But still, Jessica claims that she and Cobb are still friends.

Sandra Bullock Says: More Time Please

A fan. Obsessed. And she wants to stay away from that.

That’s what Sandra Bullock had experienced. Luckily, she previously got a restraining order against that such fan. And it has been three years. Now, with such an order ready to expire next month, Sandra’s wanting it to continue on for a couple of years at the very least or, if the courts would allow, forever and ever. Amen.

That restraining order was against Thomas Jane Weldon. It was given back in June of 2003. Sandra has claimed that this fan has been bombarding her with faxes, voice mail messages, gifts, and he even had been trailing her into several states.

Now, under that order, Weldon is actually required to stay at the very least 200 yards away from Sandra as well as Sandra’s sister Gesine Bullock-Prado who also is Sandra’s producer.

Brangelina’s Baby Due

The couple is in Namibia right now and the paparazzi have already gathered. This is because tabloids have predicted that the arrival of the baby of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt would be right around the corner.

Because of this, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have now bodyguards and security people to protect them from invasion of their privacy. These paparazzi are lurking in coffee shops or quietly roaming the area. They are constantly on the lookout for some signs that the baby has already been born.

Nicole Kidman: Engaged. Again.

So who’s she engaged to? Well, the Australian actress announced that she has just recently been engaged to Keith Urban, the country music star. After she hosted a weekend gala event in New York City, Kidman told People, “He’s actually my fiancé. I wouldn’t be bringing my boyfriend.”

Good for you Nicole!

So, does this mean though that Nicole’s already over with her ex-husband, Tom Cruise?

Well, Nicole is honest enough to claim that she still has feelings for her ex. “And I loved him. I still love him.” After all, they were indeed married for ten years. It was back in 2001 when they divorced and separated. However, during that decade that they were together, they had adopted two children.

As per Nicole and Keith Urban, they were first seen together since 2005. Both Nicole and Keith are 38.

Avril Gets Movie Role

If you loved Avril Lavigne, you’re going to love her more for she’s just grabbed a spot in Hollywood. She’s got a role in a new movie starring Richard Gere. Top that.

The movie is titled, “The Flock”. She’s having a small part, but who cares? It’s a good Hollywood start. And think about the experience. It’s Richard Gere, for heaven’s sake.

This rocker chick from Canada has gone through a true image transformation. Remember the rock chick boots and jeans? They’re totally gone. She now sports Chanel gowns and stiletto heels. Growing up, Avril?

So what does Avril say? “I have one scene in it. It’s with Claire Danes and Richard Gere. And Richard Gere, was, like, really cool. In between takes he was like totally giving me pointers. It was so crazy. I’ve known of him since I was so little.”

Sheryl Crow's Back

After her battle with breast cancer, rockstar chick Sheryl Crow is back on stage.

Sheryl Crow is already 44 and her first public performance after her cancer was last Tuesday. She underwent surgery last February as well as radiation and chemotherapy treatments during her fight against cancer.

Of course she was still kind of ginger and all but she managed to perform well. She played her guitar and flashed her smile to the crowd. She still was kind of on the rusty side after months of not performing for audiences. She flubbed her lyrics to the song “Soak Up The Sun”. Being the total performer that she was, she stopped the song and started it again. She seemed to have fun while performing, though. And she ended her set with her hit “All I Wanna Do.”

Sheryl states, “The words are just coming back to me now. I think the radiation went to my brain. This is certainly the first time I’ve played in ages and I’m happy just to be here.”

October: That’s When Britney’s Baby is Due

It’s going to be a girl for Britney. Now, this report certainly confirms those rumors that she’s indeed pregnant with her second child. Britney says that she really does want to have a baby girl this time around.

October is going to be the month that this Spear-Federline baby is going to be due. So Sean does have to wait for his sibling. And it would be just after his first birthday. Wow! Britney and Kev has certainly been busy.

K-Fed’s Choice: A Threesome

Kevin Federline wants a threesome. That is with his wife, Britney Spears, and Jessica Alba, whom he finds hot. This is what he said over the radio on L.A. Radio on Power 106.

Uh-oh. I think Kevin needs to think first. Not that it is not a poor choice of girls but because he simply is looking like he ain’t thinking before he’s speaking.

Now, some sources have it that Britney thinks that Kevin is a loser. She claims that she hooked up with the K-Fed during that time when she was lonely and looking for Justin Timberlake’s replacement. Timberlake is Britney’s ex, by the way.

Now, what a mistake. Especially that they’re going to have two babies now. Sorry, Britney.

Eminem’s Divorce

What’s going on with Eminem’s divorce? Well, here’s what.

Kim Mathers, Eminem’s wife has already filed a response. It was Eminem who filed the divorce request. Now, Kim is asking for:
* financial support
* attorney fees
* joint custody of their daughter (Hailie Jade Scott, 10 years old)

Also, aside from those previously mentioned, Kim is also asking Eminem to pay for the mortgage, the insurance, and utilities in their home which is located in Michigan.

Trivia: This is their second marriage. Their first marriage ended in 2001. This divorce was filed in April 5th, which is less than three months after their remarriage.

Adoring Suri

That’s what Tom Cruise has been doing for much of his spare time. And that is also what he said with his statement: “The hours go by so quickly as I just stare at her.” Hmmm… Is this the effect of eating Katie’s placenta? I wonder. How did it taste like? Yew! Too gross for me. Really.

Anyway, as per the placenta issue, here’s what Tom did: he laughed. And he added, “That’s ridiculous.” Covering up for what he did? I don’t know.

Relationship Over For Paris

Paris says: “I’m not going to deny that there was a split.”

Oh well. So it’s over for the love chapter of Paris Hilton’s life with Stavros Niarchos. For you people who do not know who this guy is, well he simply is a Greek shipping heir. Sounds good enough for me. Well, for Paris, he was not.

The two started dating last year. Paris is 25 years old while the apple of her eye is a couple of years younger. Stavros is 21.

Remember last October? It was during that time that Paris has ended a relationship with another Greek shipping heir. That time around, the Greek god was Paris Latsis. Maybe having two Parises for one name would not work that well.

Britney’s Fans Have Had Enough

Seems like the rumors about Britney and her hubby have just been too much for those Britney lovers out there. You know what they did? They started a petition to support this singer against those rumors.

Tell you one thing though. I’m not signing.

Nick (Still) Loves Jessica

Rolling Stone magazine witnessed Nick Lachey’s breakdown during his interview. He still confesses his love for his ex-wife. And says he still would marry Jessica. Hmm…. True love?

But you see, there are some rumors still that Nick has been having dinners with Jessica. Of course, intimate dinners. Maybe they’ll be back together. Either way, I’m not affected. At all.

Baby Girl For Britney?

Here’s some things-slash-rumors to ponder on:

• Britney is pregnant.
• She is thinking pink but feeling blue.
• Recently did she do some shopping for some baby clothes.
• Some say she’s hoping for a girl.
• She’s not eating any sushi this time around.

Ashlee’s Peace Guru

Ashlee Simpson has been in and out of trouble for quite sometime. Well, not recently. She’s been trouble-free since November. She claims that it’s all because of her boyfriend Braxton Olita. Olita is the guitarist in her band.

Here’s what she’s got to say: “He’s the yin to my yang. People call him my little Buddha. When he comes around, everything changes. I’m more peaceful and chilled out. I honestly couldn’t be more content.”

Jessica Alba’s On Her Way To Hosting The MTV Movie Awards

The MTV Movie Awards is one event that I look forward to each year. But of course. It’s fun, and it’s fun. Really.

For this year, Jessica Alba’s going to host it. I don’t know what to feel about that. Anyway, the event is going to be filmed June 3rd in Culver City, California and will be shown on the 8th of the same month. She says: “It’s always a crazy, fun show, and I can’t wait to be right in the middle of the action.”

Jessica also is nominated in the very show for three things. First, for sexiest performance (Sin City). Second and third, for best hero and best on-screen team, respectively. The last two nominations are for her performance as Joan Gruffudd in Fantastic Four.

Paris Says Goodbye To Her Favorite Bentley

That is according to some rumors. Well, Paris Hilton really does have a gambling problem that even her parents has told her to find help regarding that. I don't know what she's done with it. That is, if she thinks of it as a problem. After all, she's got much cash to spare.

Anyway, I got this from another website. You could check it yourself. For further info.

TomKat’s Getting Married!

Well, reports have it that they’d be tying the knot by the 1st of July. And there will be a Beatles tribute band to play at their reception.

Nick Carter’s A Bad Boy Now?

I remember Nick Carter (you know, that Backstreet Boy member) as that teenager who could do nothing wrong except make those femmes fall in love with him screaming.

But now, reports have it that he has just been accused of sexual assault. This accusation was thrown at Nick by a female from Florida. She says this happened when she spent the night at Nick’s house. Question is, what was she doing there? Of course, Nick would have to stop himself from doing anything that the girl would not want to do.

The rest of the story goes that she was with Nick in his house along with his assistant. Nick had paid for her and another friend of hers so that they could travel from Wisconsin to Florida for a vacation. She says she was assaulted at around midnight.

So what does Nick say? Nothing. He denies it. Now, who’s telling the truth?

But then again, Nick has had his own share of scrapes with the law. Remember 2002? He was arrested after arguing with a woman in a nightclub. How about 2004? His ex-girlfriend Paris Hilton says that he was the one who caused her bruises.

Now I wonder. What has been Nick doing all along?

Thanks Jamie Foxx! –Suri

Baby Suri’s got new gifts. And they’re from Jamie Foxx. For those who do not know him, he’s an actor, a comedian, and a singer. And the package included Burberry baby duds, and a luxury hamper. And they were delivered by Foxx himself.

You know what else Jamie Foxx said to Tom Cruise? “Your movie is going to do amazing, but don’t forget you’ve got something more amazing back home.”

Britney’s Going To Get Social Workers As Regular Visitors

She will be visited twice each month by these social workers. And what are they gonna do? Check on Sean Preston, Britney’s son. You see, Sean’s been treated for head injuries just this April. Of course, the Department of Children and Family Service would like to know what’s going on, right?

The Daily Star says: “Initial visits showed no parental neglect whatsoever. But it’s routine to have follow-up checks. It would be important to meet any new nanny or carer, for the purpose of updating records. There’s no investigation pending.”

You see, Britney fired Sean’s nanny.

Eminem’s Making Peace With Mom

Eminem’s mom is dying and this son is trying to reconcile. So that things won’t be too late? I dunno.

Of course, if you all remember, he has been blasting his mom with things like “selfish b***h” and all that. On the other hand, mom’s (her name’s Debbie) been doing the same thing – in her case, filing suits against Eminem. Debbie’s 51 right now, by the way.

You never did know that it was only terminal breast cancer that could make them see things clearly… together.

Angelina Says She’s Ready For Anything

Background: Angelina and Brad are currently in Namibia.

When asked about the birth of their child (in Namibia which is too strange for a celebrity couple to have it there), she just says, “We just don’t know where it’s going to happen or where it’s going to be.” She even adds, “We’ve been smart about it. Things will be as they will be. I’m ready for anything.”

On her child’s gender, she says that she’d rather keep it to herself.

Kevin Federline On Britney’s 2nd Pregnancy: Does Not Deny, Does Not Confirm

Kevin’s not saying a word. People have yet to confirm whether Britney is bulging again. During an interview, Britney’s hubby has just simply kept his mouth shut on the issue. He only opened his mouth when the topic was about his debut album entitled “Playing With Fire.”

Hmmm… I wonder why.

Pink Vs. Paris

Oh yes. It’s going to be a face off. And take note, Pink has already set out and told the whole world that she does not like Paris Hilton. The face off is happening at the Austrian Music Festival.

Don’t worry Paris. You’re not the only one in Pink’s list. She’s got Lindsay Lohan, Mary Kate Olsen, and Jessica Simpson too. Have you already seen Pink’s music video ‘Stupid Girls’? Well, you’ll get what I mean.
