Hilary Duff and her husband of one year, Mike Comrie, announced on her blog Sunday, they are expecting their first child. The couple tied the knot last August in Santa Barbara, California.
Entertainment Weekly is reporting that a third "Bridget Jones's Diary" movie is in the works. Renee Zellweger earned a Oscar nomination for her role in original movie. To date, the first two films have a worldwide gross of $543 million.
"The View" co-host, Sherri Shepherd married sweetheart Lamar Sally in Chicago on Saturday, August 13th. Shepherd's bridesmaid entourage included her "View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck and "Dancing With The Stars" alum, Niecy Nash. Sally, a TV writer, proposed to Shepherd in December after asking permission from her 5-year-old son, Jeffrey.
Another "View" wedding in the same week....co-host Joy Behar has married her "spousal equivalent" Steve Janowitz on Thursday. The two have been together for 26 years. Who knows then why Behar finally said yes. She was said to be worried about the media attention the wedding would create. (But guess what Joy, nobody cares!)
"Dancing With the Stars" co-host and Season 7 winner, Brooke Burke, married her fiance of 5 years, David Charvet, Friday night. The wedding took place on a Yacht in St. Bart's. The couple's children, Heaven Rain and Shaya Braven, also attended, as did Burke's kids from her previous marriage, Neriah and Sierra Sky.
Fox News is reporting that Austin Powers is back! The man of mystery, officially signed a deal for "Austin Powers 4," on Friday! It's been over ten years since Mike Myers has portrayed the lovable spy character. No word yet on who will direct, but hopefully it will be Jay Roach, who directed the first three Austin Powers movies, "International Man of Mystery" (1997), "The Spy Who Shagged Me" (1999) and "Goldmember" (2002).
Brooke Hogan is the latest attention seeker to take nude pics for PETA. Somewhat unsettling was that her dad, Hulk Hogan was there to help hr unveil the photos. The photos show 23-year-old Brooke caught in a cage. The Hulk, who was celebrating his 58th birthday, playfully covered Brooke's naughty bits in the photos at the event...
And in other Hulk news, no matter how many times "Dancing With The Stars" asks him, Hulk Hogan says no. The wrestler has been on top of ABC's list for quite some time, but the answer is always the same. HollywoodLife.com’s insider confirms Snooki, Queen Latifah and Tiffani Theissen have been cast for the new season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Not everyone in the cast is set in stone yet except Rob Kardashian and Christina Milian. Season 13 kicks off September 19th. (I thought they were going after A list stars this year...) One thing is sure, professional dancer, Derrek Hough, will be returning. He took last season off to start a movie career.
Tina Fey and her husband, Jeffrey Richmond welcomed their second daughter on Wednesday. Penelope Athena Richmond joins big sister Alice (5). The family chose not to know the sex of the baby before it was born telling Ellen DeGeneres on her show, "I'm just going to see what it chooses to wear to prom," she told Ellen DeGeneres earlier in the pregnancy.
Mel Gibson and Oksana Grigorieva separately appeared in front of a family law judge and a mediator on Friday in an effort to hammer out a custody agreement. Oksana, of course, is asking Mel for the big bucks for a number of reasons, including half a million dollars for Mel tramatizing her 14 year old son, Alexander, during a fight between the them couple. Oksana claims Mel was abusive to Sasha during the argument, calling him names and scaring him so much he allegedly hid under the bed. Reportedly, Oksana and Mel are still far apart in settling the claims -- both financial and custody of Lucia so the mediation continues next week.
Former, "That's So Raven" star, Orlando Brown was busted Friday night after officers pulled him over for driving without a license plate. Reportedly, once police talked to Brown, they administered a field sobriety test and he failed. According to sources, Brown almost got home scot-free as officers just happened to stop him in front of his house. Brown posted the $15,000 bail and was released at 7:42 AM on Saturday.
Scotty MccCreery's debut album, "Clear As Day" will hit store shelves on October 4th. The 17-year-old American Idol winner announced the release date during his "Good Morning America" appearance Friday. A pre-order package available through Scotty's website will include the album, an autographed 8x10 photo (for limited quantity of orders), a personalized poster and an instant download of single I Love You This Big, as well as a chance to enter a sweepstakes for an ultimate Country Music Association Awards experience that includes a meet-and-greet with Scotty.
Former "American Idol" contestant, Kellie Pickler, will be making her acting debut this fall when she plays a country singing cousin of Austin on "90210"... The part isn't much of a stretch. Pickler has had four songs on Billboard‘s Hot Country chart.
A 240-page coffee table book entitled ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show: Reflections on an American Legacy will hit stores just in time for the holiday season from Harpo and Abrams. Due November 15th, the book will include 150 photographs, plus personal memories and highlights from Oprah's talk show, which ended in May 2011 after 25 years on air. The book will also contain essays by feature celebrities and tributes from John Travolta and Phil Donahue. The book will retail for $50.00
Jessica is originally from Marietta, GA! I am probably one of the only real "Atlantans" left! I love Atlanta because there is always something going on, and it's just close enough to the beach to get away for a weekend.
