Juiced: Kate Middleton may have gotten pregnant because Prince William drank a coconut fertility drink on their South Pacific vacation. While in Tuvalu, they were spotted sipping green coconut juice, which is said to give men extra virility. The tot will become third in line to the throne after Wills and Prince Charles

A source tells Perez Hilton, "He has vowed to do everything in his power to protect Kate from the media frenzy surrounding her pregnancy and Heaven help anyone who crosses the line. At William's behest, the Queen instructed Palace bigwigs to individually call all of the chiefs at the British newspapers immediately following the pregnancy announcement and warn them, in no uncertain terms, that if any lines are crossed, any intrusive paparazzi shots are purchased and published, or if Kate feels hounded in anyway there will be hell to pay."

 

 

 Who Wants To Be A Billionaire: Pharmaceutical billionaire Stewart Rahr could lose $800 million in his divorce because he and his wife of 43 years did not have a pre-nup. A source tells the NY Post, ''Rahr, who sold his pharmaceutical business Kinray in 2010 for $1.3 billion, never signed a prenuptial agreement with Carol. Stewart always said he’d never get divorced because it would be too expensive. They met when he didn’t have two cents to rub together. She could be entitled to half his $1.6 billion fortune. He went out and bought 12 Teslas to give away to his friends, he gave $7 million for prostate cancer research. She fears Stewart is so out of control he could give away all his money, half of which is hers.”

Hollywood’s Most Overpaid Stars from forbes.com

Eddie Murphy Returns $2.30 for every $1 paid. It's been five years since Murphy had a non-animated hit movie. His recent films, like Meet Dave, A Thousand Words and Imagine That, have been spectacular bombs. Tower Heist, which was meant to be something of a comeback for the comedian, didn't perform as well as expected at the box office.

Katherine Heigl Returns $3.40 for every $1 paid. Heigl made a successful leap from TV to movies with hits like Knocked Up and 27 Dresses, but lately her box office performance has stalled. Her most recent film, One For The Money, earned only $37 million. Expect her quote to take a dive.

Reese Witherspoon Returns $3.90 for every $1 paid. Witherspoon is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood but lately, her films haven't been earning enough to justify her large paycheck. Last year's How Do You Know was a major flop, earning only $50 million on an estimated budget of $120 million.

Sandra Bullock Returns $5 for every $1 paid. Bullock is a surprise entrant on our most overpaid list considering her 2009 film The Blind Side was one of the biggest hits of recent years. But for each star we looked at their last three films, which in Bullock's case meant we included All About Steve, a 2009 comedy that flopped at the box office.

Jack Black Returns $5.20 for every $1 paid. When it comes to animated movies like Kung Fu Panda, Black rakes in the big bucks. But his live-action films haven't been doing as well. The Big Year, which starred Black, Owen Wilson and Steve Martin as competitive bird watchers, earned only $7 million on a budget of $40 million.

Nicolas Cage Returns $6 for every $1 paid. Nicolas Cage works a lot. Over the past three years he has been in 10 films, and that's not even counting his animation voice work. Unfortunately, most of these films haven't done very well at the box office. Last year's Drive Angry grossed only $29 million worldwide.

Adam Sandler Returns $6.30 for every $1 paid. Sandler is one of the few actors who can still command $20 million per film. Usually, that's a pretty reasonable payday for someone whose comedies are consistent performers. But when a film flops, Sandler starts to look like a bad bet. Grown Ups was a huge hit in 2010 but Jack and Jill disappointed at the box office.

 

 

Honey Boo Boo has made Barbara Walters' Most Fascinating People list of 2012. Babs says, "It's a love story [between Honey Boo Boo and her mother]. It's a very sweet, loving story. A lot of people will say, 'For heaven's sake, this is ridiculous, this is a child at 5 or 6 years old entering beauty contests.' But the relationship between Alana and her mother — that's the story, the two of them. It's very touching. Honey Boo Boo is not an obnoxious little girl. She's sweet and loving with her mother and loving with her sisters [Jessica, Lauryn and Anna]. And now Anna has a new baby, and the baby has [three] thumbs — but so what? It'll make you smile."

 

Robert Pattinson may spend Christmas without Kristen Stewart. A source tells Heat magazine, “They had a meal on Thanksgiving and it was nerve-wracking for Kristen. She felt very uncomfortable and Rob’s sisters couldn’t be completely welcoming. It won’t go back to normal straight away, even if Rob has decided to try again. Rob’s mum wanted him to spend Christmas with them in London and, before their trip to the UK, that had been his and Kristen’s Plan. From London, they were going to fly to Mexico for New Year but that’s all changed now. Rob’s family made it clear that they really want to see him over Christmas and, after the intense promotional tour for Twilight, Rob liked the idea of spending time alone with his family.”

 

 

 

The LAPD has recovered Dr Phil's $100,000 57 Chevy. Several car thieves were arrested. Phil says, "I can’t say enough about the LA County Sheriff's Department and of the LAPD Trap West - particularly, Detective George Molina. Their tireless efforts and hard work resulted in the in-tact recovery of my car and the arrest of some prolific car thieves. Many thought that my ’57 Chevy was just a memory, but I had faith in LA’s finest. This is just one more in a really long line of reasons that I am and always have been a passionate and outspoken supporter of our men and women in law enforcement. We don’t thank them enough. I’ll hug a cop every chance I get this month!"

 

 

Michael Buble and Reese Witherspoon are recording together. He says, "By all accounts it would be true. I just really am a big fan and so myself and my camp, we wanted to do this with her and we were thrilled that she was excited about it too."

 

Beyonce has been in the studio with Justin Timberlake. The Dream says, "She's got her stuff going. She took the summer to start recording, and now she's in a place where she's ready to start gearing up to reveal her plan. She's already gearing up to get ready to put stuff out.”
