UK newspaper The Sun is reporting that Gwen Stefani is 13 weeks pregnant with her second child. There goes that No Doubt reunion. 38-year old Gwen and 40-yaer old rocker husband Gavin Rossdale already have one 1 ½-year old son Kingston.

A source revealed to the paper that “They found out at California’s Cedars-Sinai hospital and couldn’t wait to share the news with everyone.” But apparently, Gavin’s dad was more excited as he has already confirmed the news even before the couple could release an official statement.

Congratulations to the happy couple! I’m sure their new baby will look just as cute as Kingston.

Joss Stone, the British girl that we all thought we could love is at it again with her diarrhea mouth. And she wonders why people hate her these days.

In a recent interview, she ranted about people hating on her for her accent saying “At the end of the day, I don’t give a f**k if people have a problem with my accent. That’s all I can say about it. The words I say do not change. If the way that it sounds is skew-whiff and you don’t like it, don’t listen. I’m not being a cruel person by sounding a different way. I made my album with a bunch of Americans. When people go to Australia for two weeks they come back sounding Australian – but the whole world doesn’t turn round and say, ‘Well, f**k you.’ Which is basically what England had done. Obviously not everybody in England. But the big press people. They were just like, ‘You know what? We’ve decided we don’t like you anymore.’”

Apparently there was something hot about the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Or at least at the Jolie-Pitt table.

Brad and Angelina took some time to make out in between award presentations. Ya know, I’ve always heard that women get that way in the early stages of pregnancy. Hmmmm…..the rumors are flying and who am I to stop them?

Angelina’s flowing dress that could easily hide a baby bump didn’t help her denials either. Could there really be more Pitts on the way?

With the Spice Girls reunion being deemed a success, everyone pretty much knows that girl power is back. But the Spice Girls are hardly girls anymore so do refer to Us Weekly’s latest issue which features today’s “Power Girls”. ‘Hannah Montana’s’ Miley Cyrus is actually featured on the cover as the lead power girl. In the mag, she says that “The most important thing is really staying true to yourself. That’s what my mom taught me. She’s the most beautiful girl, not only on the outside but on the inside. She’s teaching me how to be a good person.”

Other power girls include ‘Gossip Girl’s’ Blake Lively, ‘High School Musical’ star Ashley Tisdale, country singer Taylor Swift and teen queen Raven-Symone.

It is being reported in several magazines that Angelina Jolie is pregnant with twins. She and Brad Pitt already have three adopted children and a biological child together. The two have made comments many times about their desire to add even more children to their family.

There has been no real answer to either of their reps, but Brad’s rep did say she wouldn’t comment on the “unsubstantiated rumor”.

People around the world are still shocked by the news that Australian-born actor Heath Ledger is dead at the age of 28. Rumors have flown about a possible drug overdose, although his rep has asked that people avoid speculation at this time.

A preliminary autopsy was performed this morning but was determined to be inconclusive. More tests are planned, and an answer should be gotten in the next 10 days.

Until then, let’s remember the positive attributes Heath displayed and say a little pray for his 2 year old daughter Matilda (with former flame Michelle Williams) and the rest of his family and friends.

Ok, so he’s only been cheating on her for a month that we know of, but Adnan Ghalib’s wife has finally officially filed for divorce.

AzLynn Berry has finally had enough of his romps with Britney Spears and wants herself removed from the chaos that is his life. She filed for divorce, citing “irreconcilable differences”. Umm, ya think?

Britney and Adnan were back together, heading out to dinner Tuesday night at Taverna Tony in Malibu.

UK’s The Sun was first to report that British singer Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. The report has been confirmed by the singer’s publicist. Her rep said “We can confirm that Lily Allen has suffered a miscarriage. She and her partner Ed Simons will be making no further comment and we ask that their privacy be respected during this difficult time.”

A source close to the couple has said that they are in a state of shock. “The bad news has been really difficult for them to take and they are absolutely heartbroken. Lily’s entire outlook on life changed after she found out she was pregnant. She was looking forward to being a mum and starting a family with Ed. She had turned her back on her party girl image and had turned over a new leaf. They are surrounded by friends and family who are offering support. It is a really difficult time for them.”

I often report new pregnancies in the celebrity world. I can’t help it. It’s usually happy news for couples that seem excited and confident about impending parenthood.

I also often report about the bizarre behaviour of junkie and punk rocker, Pete Doherty. It’s entertaining and usually mind-boggling the way the man thinks.

Now mix the two together. That’s right the cruel world of fate has actually allowed the man to create life; again. The goddaughter of Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson claims to be three months pregnant by Pete Doherty.

She says, “The baby is Peter’s. There is no doubt about that. I was a virgin when I met Peter and when we had sex. He knows about the baby. I told him I was pregnant the moment I found out shortly after Christmas. We are only in contact by phone.”

Apparently her parents are yet to know they are due to become grandparents. Well telling the newspapers will certainly change that…

A spokesman for Doherty claimed, “Pete says he doesn’t know who this girl is.”

Attention Zac Efron fans – oh wait, do any actually read this?

For those who care, the High School Musical star was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Tuesday for an emergency appendectomy. His rep says, “Zac had his appendix removed and is recuperating.”

Sorry, folks, no nose job, no enhancements….just an appendectomy. But he’s fine, ok? Yes, High School Musical 3 will go on as scheduled.

You can all return to something you actually care about now.

Everyone is blaming Jessica Simpson for ruining Tony Romo’s game, whether it’s her showing up or her bringing Tony to Cabo. But apparently, it’s not all Jessica’s fault. No one would have found out about their now-infamous trip to Mexico if it hadn’t been for the pesky paparazzi which, one report says, were tipped off by Jessica’s meddler/manager dad Joe.

Sources say that “Nobody would have known that Tony was down in Mexico with Jessica if there hadn’t been those pictures everywhere. So a lot of people suspect he tipped off the photographers, causing Tony this huge headache.” Not to mention putting a lot of blame on his daughter.

Hmm, well not really. Hilary claims that she is a murderer, after leaving her pet hermit crab out in the sun when she was a child. Doesn’t really chalk up to the most wanted list though Hilary. Accidents happen.

Hilary said: “When I was young, I was given a hermit crab. Its shell was painted with spots. I left him outside to get some sun, but when I picked him up the next day, he’d jellified. It was disgusting. I’m a murderer!”

The 20-year-old star, who has four pet dogs, also revealed she is such a fan of pooches she would be happiest living in a “weird house full of dogs”.

She said: “I’m one of those crazy dog people! If I could I would live on a huge ranch with lots of dogs. I’d be so happy. People would say, ‘Whatever happened to Hilary Duff?’ And others would say, ‘Oh, she lives in the weird house with all the dogs.’”

O-K then.

Congratulations to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden! They are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl who they chose to call Harlow Winter Kate Madden. Little Harlow was born on Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz. She’s pretty much music royalty for being the granddaughter of Lionel Richie and the daughter of the Good Charlotte front man.

The couple’s reps at Handprint Entertainment told People that “The beautiful healthy baby girl is home with her ecstatic parents.” I can’t wait to see that family picture. I wonder who the little one looks like.

More advertisements for Marc Jacobs’ Spring 08 campaign featuring Victoria Beckham have been released. Posh is either working it from inside a shopping bag or stepping out of a gift box.

The Spice Girl spoke about the ads recently saying “The images are humorous and ironic. You can’t be afraid to experiment with fashion.” When asked which was her favorite ad, she said “Truth be told, I love them all. If I have to pick favorites, it’s the package series: me coming out of the box in the gray knit dress shot with the hat, as well as the image of the oversize shopping bag.” So basically, the whole campaign.

It seems that money is becoming a big issue when it comes to the Queen of Pop. First, her so-called charity Running Malawi came under fire for supposedly siphoning money out of Gucci for Kabbalah. Now, it’s her monthly drinking water expenses. Madonna is spending so much on water that she might as well be drinking gold.

According to In Touch, the singer reportedly spends $10,000 per month on specially blessed Kabbalah water for her and her family of five. A small bottle of the special water costs $5/pop. A close pal of Madonna says that the singer drinks a lot of water and that “this is the only stuff she will touch”.

Amy Winehouse’s trademark beehive hairstyle has had the chop – things are looking brighter for Amy as she reveals her remaining locks dyed peroxide blonde.

The Rehab singer unveiled her new look as she talked about her ‘drunk’ personality; admitting, “I’m a terrible drunk. Drinking long-term is a lot worse than doing heroin. Alcohol’s a real poison. I’m not a nice drunk. If I go to the gym and I have a drink, I’m lovely to be around. But if I haven’t been training or if there’s something bothering me, I’m a terrible drunk.”

Last night pals said Amy’s new do was the work of her hairdresser Alex Foden — who lives in her block of flats in Bow, East London. A friend said: “She just said she felt like it. She’d thought about having a blonde beehive but decided on the shorter look.”

Amy’s 1960s-style beehive has been central to her image since she shot to international fame last year. A spokesman for the star said: “She wanted a new look for the New Year.”

Does a new look mean a new Amy? Watch this space…

If you think of royalty, you’d imagine a palace and not a shanty. But in the case of Queen of Pop Madonna, that’s not the case. The singer and her director husband Guy Ritchie were given the royal treatment as they were showered by rose and marigold petals by residents of a crowded Mumbai slum in India on Tuesday.

They were accompanied by a friend of Madonna’s, Australia author Gregory David Roberts, who made the Mumbai slum his home in the early 1980s following his escape from an Australian prison. His story has since been made into the best-selling novel ‘Shantaram’.

Even celebrities are not immune to the cravings for the latest gossip. Gwyneth Paltrow even goes so far as to admit it.

She says, “It’s very addictive to see what people are doing and wearing and saying – and who is breaking up.”

She knows all too well, though, the dangers in believing everything you read. Gwyneth realizes that much of what is printed is inaccurate or is only part of the story. She is quick to deny any of the rumors that say her marriage with Coldplay singer Chris Martin is in trouble. She says, “We’re not into doing stuff in public together.”

Hey, who can resist a good gossip rag? Reading about someone else’s misfortune makes us feel a little better about ourselves.

X-Factor runner up Rhydian Roberts has, as predicted by many, signed a £1million record deal with judge Simon Cowell. After all the fuss that was made over the results to the show it is obvious it really doesn’t matter who was proclaimed the winner after all.

Rhydian, 25, aims to have a debut single in the next few months, followed by an opera-style album. They and future albums will be under the Sony BMG label, which has the rights to Simon’s artists. A source said: “It will be typically Rhydian – lots of fun.”

His first album may even be out before winner Leon Jackson’s. Leon’s album is not expected until late autumn as the artist wishes to work on his singing.

Watchdogs are still probing into claims that the results show was fixed and that Rhydian’s phone lines were jammed.

Melanie Brown, a.k.a Scary Spice, has always been rumoured to have a wild sex life. So, it makes sense that the rest of the gang turn to her when they need advice.

Victoria said: “If we have sex problems, we go to Mel B – she is like the doctor.”

Mel has two children; nine-month old baby Angel with ex boyfriend Eddie Murphy, and an eight year old daughter Phoenix Chi with first husband Jimmy Gulzar.

In 2004, she sparked bisexual rumours when she was pictured kissing a film executive known only as Christine.

Mel – who is now married to movie producer Stephen Belafonte -also allegedly enjoyed lesbian threesomes with her friend Christa Parker and actress Elizabeth Rodriguez last year at her Los Angeles home.

Mother-of-two Christa claimed: “I had only had sex with a woman once before, but Mel was obviously very experienced with women. She is a great kisser.Mel and I were very good friends. We saw each other almost every day and would have sex at least a couple of times a week.”
