Angelina had a planned C-Section in a hospital in France and the babies birth weight was 5.02 pounds (Vivienne) and 5 pounds (Knox).

The best part of this reality show is learning more about the couples pasts.

Although I was a 90210 fan when it was on the air, I was actually surprised at how much I liked Dean and Tori’s reality show. If you haven’t seen it you can check it out on the Oxygen Network and webisodes are available on the Net for free viewing as well.

Christina Aguilera confessed to Glamour UK that she is indeed pregnant. After months of remaining tight-lipped, the pop singer finally admitted that she will be a mommy.

When asked what would be her New Year’s resolutions for 2008, Christina expressed her joy:

“That’ll be about the time I enter into mommyhood so I’m hoping to have started a beautiful family with my husband!”

She is believed to be around six months pregnant. In the interview she also mentioned supportive Jordan Bratman had been. The two got married in 2005.

“Oh, he’s thrilled! He’s just great. He’s so supportive and amazing through everything. He came with me on the last leg of the tour and he was my support system. I’m a lucky girl.”

Christina added she is determined to keep the “right balance” between her family life and music career and only intends to surround herself with “honest” people.

“I want to get it right, to balance that well with my career. When you get married and have a teammate in life, you don’t have time for the people around you that are just going to weigh you down.”

It was reported that she held a private baby shower last month and was heard that she would name the baby after Jordan.

A source close to the singer said that the singer “rubs her baby bump and talks to the baby, calling it Jordy.”

Theirs is the story of a perfect rock-stars love team. They were good-looking, talented and famous. He was an Adonis fancied by thousands of girls around the world. Her career was taking off thanks to her clever catchy tunes such as “Stutter” and “Vaseline.” Outside of Britain they were mapping out their future. In Britain, they were the Beckhams, before Posh and David existed, of the emerging Cool Britannia.

It was a horrible experience as a celebrity and they became household names: Damon and Justine.

Their relationship was the fodder for tabloids. It helped to create the buzz but behind the limelight there was a problem.

In 1998, after a Southeast Asian trip to rekindle their relationship, they ended their relationship out of the blue and without a fuss.

As Justine Frischmann and her band Elastica released their second album, “The Menace,” in 2000 everything went down the drain. Damon Albarn’s band Blur released “13″ a year before.

The breakup inspired the songs in the album, mostly about Justine’s drug addiction and Damon’s struggle to move on.

Though she admitted that she touched drugs her depression was a mix of emotions towards her band members, the ability to bear success and the creative juice that wasn’t flowing anymore.

In a Guardian interview in 2002, she expressed her anxiety to be accepted by the fans.

“I do feel slightly like I’m having sex with the world at the moment, and I’m not sure if it’s going to like me in the morning.”

And she hated the fact that Damon, instead of talking to her and physically supporting her discreetly wrote songs about the breakup such as the singles “Tender” and “No Distance Left to Run.”

The first time she listened to “Tender” she cried. But Damon’s insistence for her to retire from music business to play down her personal problems didn’t help.

According to her, he told her that she’d demonstrated herself to be his equal and had nothing further to prove, and that she was unhappy because she wanted to have children, but wasn’t acknowledging it. She was angry about this, suspecting him of trying to reassert control rather than addressing her real problems.

Damon Albarn quickly moved on. He found a partner in the person of Suzi Winstanley and less than year of being together they had a child, Missy, who was born in October. She was to have named after Missy “Misdemenor” Elliot.

In 2004, there was a report that Suzi, an established wildlife painter along with her partner Oliver “Olly” Williams, gave him an ultimatum to stop his partying spree.

Lately, the moment I saw Damon again on Arte, a French-German TV channel, I knew that he already settled down. Devoid of vanity and superficiality, he surrounded himself with music, playing his passion and continually experimenting with sounds coming from different sources.

I was thinking, look at him, he doesn’t mind if he has a missing tooth and crow’s-feet. He was then asked by the crew of Arte’s “Tracks” what’s keeping him busy, his latest adventure. He then expressed about his new project: Peking Opera, cartoon, and circus onstage.

Gone were the days of the childlike battle with Oasis and the flirting with fame. After the years of the confused ’90s, Damon, lead singer of Blur, Gorillaz and The Good, the Bad and the Queen, has settled down.

In one of The Good, The Bad, and The Queen singles he dedicated the song “Northern Whale” to Suzi.

The eight years of love he shared and nurtured with Justine might be over but that’s all behind him now.

The press purportedly called former Mrs. Cruise boring. Mainly because she doesn’t propagate reports of insanity unlike the young celebrities of today where being outrageous is the norm. Nicole Kidman is always this prim and proper and professional actress we know all along.

She doesn’t engage in wild sex, you don’t catch her in parties without her knickers on, or she doesn’t open her mouth full of b–s–t. Instead what we see is a reluctant diva adorned in designer clothes standing all by herself.

Maybe a part of its is because she isn’t American? Unlike her ex-husband Tom, whose fascination with himself is tremendous, Nic’s marriage to fellow Aussie Keith Urban, though gossiped and revered, wasn’t as big as the wedding’s of Tom and Katie Holmes.

Though Keith’s drug and womanising problems almost tore them apart, Nic stands by him and hopes that love will lead their way. After 90 days of being married in June, the country singer immediately went to rehab on the behest of his missus.

In a recent interview conducted by US Magazine via Daily Mail, she admitted that she is yearning to be a mother. And that her relationship isn’t always that happy. Or so it seems.

Love isn’t a guarantee that they will last long. When asked that they always appear together:

“You never know where something’s going. My husband and I are committed to each other and deeply in love. That’s how I would put it. We are working on staying in that place and hopefully we will for the rest of our lives.”

She also added that she doesn’t have to broadcast that they are having problems as it isn’t the public’s business to find out.

Her recent Vanity Fair interview, which angered Tom, also revealed her innermost thoughts, concerning her marriage with Tom and that she had a miscarriage. At 40, Nicole aches to have her own children.

“I’m yearning to have one. I think I would be very sad if I wasn’t able to have a baby. Keith knows I want one, and he has been getting there slowly. My husband really wants a couple of years, he said, ‘Where I just have you.’ So it’s kind of romantic. That’s what we decided.”

There’s nothing like a good partnership. Either personal or professional. Look at Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony. They are doing it together!

I won’t judge the music they make but the two are having a good time despite rumours and controversies that Marc is just riding on his wife’s popularity. Perhaps La Lopez has found the man of her life. Perhaps, their two egos, err careers, have found the way to complement each other. They have been together for three years and JLo is still content on his side. Compared to her two previous husbands, who have become tragic characters, this partnership will go on for the longest time.

Yesterday, the couple did a concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden in front of raving salsa and pop fans to their delight. Dubbed “Juntos en Concierto” (Together in Concert), the couple wowed the audience also last Friday at Verizon.

The choreography was done all the same inspired by their biopic “El Cantante” where Marc played as the troubled salsa legend Hector Lavoe, and Jennifer as his wife Puchi. The film was released last summer.

La Lopez had several wardrobe changes. Critics also noticed her careful dance steps.

Marc, on the other hand with his chest opened for the audience to see, appeared in a smoke-filled extravaganza. Jennifer’s choice of robes might severely baffle the public with news of pregnancy, overweight and all. Her gold lame empire dress cut on the thighs would fuel more speculation of her being a mother-to-be.

Still, La Lopez never confirms nor denies it. In fact, why should she when it isn’t our darn business, right? Only her husband, through his publicist, dismissed the baby rumour.

JLo might have learned her lessons well. The couple bears an average interest of public attention unlike when the actress/pop singer was still with actor Ben Affleck, who recently admitted that his relationship with the diva was a bad career step. She might be more careful now, has gone more mature. Most of all, she keeps her life with Marc really free from prying eyes.

“You don’t have to go where everybody goes; there are a million other places that are great. From the day Marc and I met we’ve always had amazing chemistry, but the timing has to be right. We established early on that our relationship was not for public consumption. When we’re out there, it’s ’cause it’s part of our work, but you won’t catch us hanging out at some random place with paparazzi following us ’cause we don’t let them. And we have such a tight circle of friends, we don’t have people calling the photographers saying, ‘Marc and Jennifer are coming here.’ “

Okay, okay. So not another post of the famous Hollywood couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The two were spotted on the streets of Manhattan, New York, last Thursday. Young Maddox’s school, the exclusive Lycee Francais, is just located there. This time the actress was wearing all black and beige ballerinas compared to her beau’s grey outfit.

Despite ugly reports that they are going separate ways, the two simply manage to appear very much together. In one photograph Brad showed how gentleman he is by opening the door for his love.

They might not hold hands in front of the paparazzi’s expensive cameras but can you tell me is this the picture of a troubled couple?

Recently, Angie told Cosmopolitan (via Entertainmentwise) that she only had sex with four men and married the two of them. Still, doubting Thomases couldn’t believe that the actress is telling the truth. She is often portrayed as a sex bomb, a man eater, who can break your heart whether you are a man or a woman.

We know the chapter between her and ex-lover Jenny Shimizu, who is very sure that her attachment to Brad is just a facade and that in the end she would return to her old wild ways.

Enter Bai Ling.

Angie’s latest admirer is the Chinese-American actress, whose first American film was the cult favourite “The Crow” with the late actor Brandon Lee as the avenging angel.

The naturalised American, who admitted in interview that she has had also affairs with women, said that she and Angelina had a “spark” when they worked together in two movies, “Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow” in 2004 and the documentary “A Place In Time.”

“I felt this energy between us, when we look at each other there’s an energy, an attraction. Her eyes transfer a sexual energy to me that makes her irresistible.”

She also mentioned that Angelina felt the same connection too.

“Angelina said, ‘Next time we’ll play lovers.’ We could have hooked up, but it just wasn’t the right time or place. But she told me, ‘My heart’s open to you.’ She is like me. She is totally open sexually.”

And now that the Angie and Brad have gotten together, she was also hoping to bed Brad together with Angie.

“I’ve always thought Brad was the sexiest man on the planet. So now that Brad and Angelina are together, now maybe I could experience both at the same time!”

Menage a trois! Way to go Bai!

Former No Doubt singer and fashion icon Gwen Stefani is optimistic. Life is good. Career is doing wonderful. Family is stable. Apart from her new L.A.M.B. collection, which she launched last month during the New York Fashion Week, she is doing concerts to support her latest album, “The Sweet Escape.”

Gwen is about to take over the Viennese stage on October 17 in Stadthalle and she sat down with the staff of Woman, a Viennese fashion/style women’s magazine, talking about her newfound fame, her inspiration, her family. Most of all, she gushed about her wonderful son Kingston James and why the partnership between her and husband Gavin Rossdale isn’t perfect like other couples.

In the interview she also mentioned that her role model has come all the way from Austria, the Viennese nun who became the governess of the legendary singing Von Trapp family from Salzburg, Maria von Trapp.

“Every time I wouldn’t know what to do or when to start, I would always listen to ‘The Sound of Music.’ They told me: Follow your dreams, look forward, and trust yourself!”

She also confessed that she dreamt of having babies when she was a teenager and was praying that ex-boyfriend Tony Kanal would hear her wishes. Sadly, it didn’t happen as Tony needed his space and she ended up brokenhearted.

And that during the trying times when they discovered that Gavin was the father of Daisy Lowe, the two were separated for a little while.

When asked if she gets to miss Gavin while she is on tour, hearing each other’s voice is the most important thing. She is confident that he readily understands the demands of being a musician.

“We see each other now and then. Calling each other often is very important. Gavin knows the touring lifestyle and he finds the right words whenever I am powerless and depressed from having concerts.”

But she quickly asserted that son Kingston relieves her of woes.

“Then I cuddle with Kingston a bit and look what is he up to, how he laughs over simple things and learn his new discoveries, the bad mood suddenly disappears.”

It was sad to hear that the Maestro died at the age of 71.

When Luciano Pavarotti visited the Philippines to perform in the 1990s, the authorities installed a large screen outside of the Folk Arts Theater so those who couldn’t afford to pay would be able to see him and be awed by his voice, his ability to hit the high C, in which he was popular of. It is known that not every professional tenor singer can do it.

It was a nice evening. People of all walks of life congregated and the outside premises were full. His way of making it into the pop culture was admirable. He showed that classical music isn’t at confined to upper echelon of the society, in which everyone could enjoy and relish.

Not only he performed well, he was also seen with pop singers and was even friends with the deceased Princess of Wales, Lady Diana. Most of all, his founded his yearly Pavarotti and Friends to raise money for humanitarian cause.

His own website is reduced to a black and white border with the quote saying in English and Italian: “I think a life in music is a life beautifully spent and this is what I have devoted my life to.”

It was reported that as his health deteriorated his relationship with his second wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, 37, also did.

She was Luciano’s producer. They have lived together since 1996 and was married on December 13, 2003, at a ceremony in Northern Italy.

Though the opera star’s dietologist, Professor Andrea Strata, mentioned that it was nothing but a usual husband-wife argument.

“It’s all very sad… he isn’t even cold in his tomb yet and now all this is coming out. I don’t want to say too much, but let’s just say that with every husband and wife there are always things going on and Nicoletta and Pavarotti were no different from any other couple.”

He was close to Pavarotti. While his wife, Franca, revealed that Nicoletta was in frantic when she found out the missing papers for their properties in New York. It happened a month ago when the opera star was taken to the hospital and the seriousness of his pancreatic cancer became obvious.

There were reports that he also changed his will favouring his daughters from his first wife, Adua Veroni. They lived together for more nearly 40 years.

Luciano’s daughters–Lorenza, Cristina and Giuliana–however, were upset over the rumour that they are fighting over their father’s 250-million pounds of property fuelled by Italian and British new agencies. Cristina read a prepared statement over the Italian state yesterday.

“We know that in Italy, as elsewhere, false news and idle inferences that involve us are coming out. This is causing us bitterness.”

Luciano also has a daughter with Nicoletta, the four-year-old Alice.

For a million-selling star like the opera star, the question is: Are they only in it for the money?

Tobey Maguire married his longtime love Jennifer Meyer, who is also the mother of his 10-month old daughter Ruby Sweetheart.

The couple went to Kona, Hawaii to tie the knot for a sunset ceremony on Monday. Only a small group of family and friends, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Lukas Haas, witnessed their exchange of vows.

The pair first met in 2003 while Tobey was shooting the movie “Seabiscuit” at Universal Studios. The actor and Jennifer, an accomplished jewelry maker and the daughter of Vivendi Universal Entertainment CEO Ron Meyer, became engaged in April 2006. Her collection has been worn by noted actresses such as Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, among others.

Tobey admitted that being a father has made a difference to his life surrounded with the superficiality of Hollywood:

“I’m at that stage where I have to start thinking about where I want Ruby to grow up and go to school … Even though L.A. is pretty laid-back, maybe it would be a good idea to try a different, less ambitious kind of atmosphere.”

Whatever it is, it seems that Tobey has found the magic of having his own family.

Get this: Actor Liev Schreiber didn’t enter show business just so to be famous who enjoys being snapped by paparazzi like the wanton Paris Hilton or the Beckhams. One could trace the thespian’s aggressive and forthcoming action toward the curious press people who tried to invade his and his little family’s privacy.

First, there was the complete denial of Naomi Watts’ pregnancy if not for the actress’ sponsored gown’s press release that erroneously gave away her condition.

Second, Liev’s “unwillingness” to confirm this via an American TV show. Third, Liev who tried to goof around with the press by making false announcements of their supposed-to-be wedding. Lastly, their trouble with the overeager photographers escalated all because they wanted to snap a picture of the couple’s three-week-old son, Alexander.

On Sunday, this actually happened. The couple was in Malibu, eating out, and afterward hitting the beach courtesy of the party hosted by John Favreau.

It was claimed that Liev went berserk when the photogs took a much closer look on his family. TMZ caught the actor losing his temper full with unsavoury words towards the paparazzi even pushing one of them away.

A limping Schreiber was carrying the couple’s three-week-old son into Greek restaurant Taverna Tony’s when he placed the baby carrier down when one snapper got too close.
Turning round to confront the photographer, Schreiber shouted, “You f**king disgust me. It’s a f**king child and I have one f**king foot.”
After they finished their meal they were again surrounded by the paparazzi, forcing Watts to protest “Are you out of your mind?” as she tried to make way for Schreiber to place their baby in a waiting car.

You’d think the photographers would leave them alone after the earlier fracas. No way! A witness claimed that one of the photographers even taunted the “Scream” actor.

When it comes to respect and courtesy the paparazzi definitely don’t have any of these two traits. There are actors who will resort to anything just to be the talk of the town. Naomi and Liev, I am afraid, don’t belong into this caliber.
