• As Angelina Jolie rests in a French hospital awaiting the birth of twins, the staff there have taken great pains to insure that her privacy is insured–they’ve installed a special material on all her windows that prevents anyone from the outside to see inside.  In other words, any photos you see that are supposed to be her are probably Jennifer Aniston in fake lips and
• Odds for a Sopranos movie took a turn for the worse when Director Peter Bogdonovich, who played Dr. Elliot Kupferberg,  told TV critics recently that he learned from creator David Chase that a silver screen version was not to be, explaining that Chase, "can’t figure out a way to do it."  In other words, he doesn’t know how to un-hit Tony…

• More details on the memoir from Madonna’s brother Christopher, as I read that Madge did not cooperate with Chris on the book and that the two are no longer close–despite that he designed and directed two of her major tours and hlped make her Truth Or Dare documentary.  Then again, those were her single, pre-Kaballah, normal celebrity days…

• Dr. Drew Pinsky of VH1’s Celebrity Rehab fame has apologized for comments he made about Tom Cruise that suggested his belief in Scientology could stem from childhood issues, with a statement saying, "Dr. Drew meant no harm to Mr. Cruise and apologizes if his comments were hurtful."  I’m guessing that apology was directed a bit more toward Cruise’s attorney..

How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris told People magazine that there is an opportunity for Britney Spears to return to the sitcom, saying, "The door is open for her. We would love [guest stars] who get in the show’s world to stick around if they want to."  The really weird part of it is that it makes her seem more normal to be a TV star…

Entertainment Tonight is looking a little foolish after falsely reporting Angelina Jolie gave birth to twins last week–based on information that came from an imposter posing as Jolie’s assistant.  For TV’s oldest and best-known celebrity news show, it’s kinda like catching your dad with your Aunt Velma…

Former Tonight Show sidekick and long-time pitchman Ed McMahon is facing foreclosure on his Hollywood home after falling behind on his mortgage payments.  Maybe he can move in with Doc Severinsen…

ABC’s The View will welcome Michelle Obama–wife of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama–as a guest host June 18, where she will participate in the show’s "Hot Topics" segment and interview guests.  Hopefully she won’t have to explain to Elisabeth Hasselbeck why she doesn’t dress like other Muslim women…

• Pete Wentz says he continued to deny that new wife Ashlee Simpson was pregnant because they both wanted her to safely pass the first trimester and get a clean bill of health from her doctor first before making the news public.  Poor Pete–he didn’t realize this really wasn’t their own private business…

• Rihanna has herself another #1 hit in Take A Bow, as it took a giant leap on Billboard’s Hot 100 from the #53 spot after selling over a quarter million digital downloads in one week.  This would be the perfect occasion to celebrate with your boyfriend Chris Brown–it’s too bad the two of them are just "friends"…
• Legendary singer/songwriter Neil Diamond has his first-ever #1 album in a 45-year career, as his CD Home Before Dark sold 146,000 copies–likely due to his appearance on American Idol two weeks ago.  Pretty impressive, considering his last hit song came before any of the contestants were born–let alone most of the audience…
• Madonna said in an interview this week that her kids Lourdes and Rocco are constantly bugging her about her work, asking, "When are you coming home? Why are you always working? Why can’t you be just like a normal mom?"  Then she shows them her Like A Virgin video, and they shut up fast…

• Denise Richards says that she and ex Charlie Sheen are not on good terms, that they, "don’t speak — at all", and that he, "cut me off of child support last week."  Of course, she also claims she didn’t wreck ex-pal Heather Locklear’s marriage to Richie Sambora by sleeping with him, so I guess it figures…
• Anne Heche told a judge she can’t afford to pay nearly fifteen grand a month in spousal and child support to ex-husband Corey Lafoon because she hasn’t worked since mid-January, when her sitcom Men In Trees was cancelled.  Broke and sexually confused–that’s a nasty combination…
