Victoria Beckham brought her 3-year old son Cruz on stage during the final show of the Spice Girls reunion tour in Toronto on Tuesday. Just as he did in New York, Cruz busted a move and started to break dance. And wouldn’t you know it? Baby boy is a superstar already! When the song ended, Victoria went to hand him over to her family when Cruz started sobbing because he didn’t want to get off the stage. 3 years old and already a diva – stardom is definitely in that kid’s future. I wonder what his brothers think of that. The youngest is outshining them!

Have you watched this show? People sit in a hot seat, in front of family and friends, as well as America, and answer a series of personal questions. Each question they answer truthfully gets them more money.

Monday’s episode featured Lauren Cleri, a 26 year old wife who was out for some cash. She embarrassed the crap out of husband Frank when she admitted to being unfaithful to him while married. After that, an ex-boyfriend came up on stage and asked her if she would leave her husband for him if he said he still loved her. Her answer? “Yes.”

She earned $200,000 for her truthfulness, which is exactly what she says her plan was. “I didn’t think it was going to be this big a deal because I thought so many people are doing it, we’re not going to stand out.”

Umm, yeah, maybe if she hadn’t said she’d walk away from her husband over it all!

It seems that a lot of Hollywood starlets are trying their hands on music. Or should I say vocal chords? There’s Hayden Panettiere, Scarlett Johansson, Emmy Rossum and now, there’s Leighton Meester. The ‘Gossip Girl’ star recently talked about her upcoming album and described what, or I should say who, she sounds like. “Some of them I just talk, I do a little–not rapping–but talking, sort of spoken word. It’s a little Fergie, a little like Gwen Stefani and M.I.A.” I wonder what those music industry stars will think of Leighton’s musical style. She better put up or they might take it as an insult.

It’s pretty much a given that Aaron Carter needs to go to jail but did his dogs have to suffer too? The former pop star’s doggies were collateral damage when he got busted by the cops for speeding and subsequently for possession of at least two ounces of pot. He was traveling with two pit bulls, one puppy and one full-grown. When Aaron was taken to jail, his dogs went to the pound. As soon as he got out, Aaron went to Sam B. Coffey Animal Shelter to retrieve them and had to pay a $70 impound fee. The woman who runs the shelter says that Aaron was “extremely happy to see his dogs and they were well cared-for.”

After months of speculation, Pink and Carey Hart have finally split up and their story is as old as time. The reason for their split was because their careers just got in the way.

Sources close to Carey say that the bike rider is telling people that he and Pink still love each other and will still be best friends. The end of the marriage came as a result of their busy schedules. Pink has returned to the studio to work on her music while Carey is busy opening new nightclubs. Carey is working on opening a live music club in Las Vegas.

Nope, no arrest for drugging poor Britney Spears yet. However, Sam did get served.

He was finally given the restraining order that prevents him from coming within 250 yards of the trouble star. He hid for over 200 hours before cops finally found him.

A hearing is set for Friday at 1:30 pm to see if the order will stand.

Either people have gotten sick of seeing babies on magazine covers or no one cares for Christina Aguilera’s baby. The People magazine issue which features the singer and her son Max has proven to be a dud as the issue is only expected to sell 1.3 million copies. The average weekly sales for the magazine is 1.4 million.

However, the mag doesn’t likely see the underperformance as a loss even though they paid $2 million for the pictures. An industry insider says that “They probably do it to keep someone else from getting their hands on it and to preserve their reputation that they always get the best on weddings and babies.”

Didn’t your My Buddy doll remind you a little too much of Chuckie? Who in their right mind wants a doll that looks like a real person? Dolls are for imaginative play.

Not true for many….The Toy Fair in New York city yesterday was the display for a number of dolls who look like stars. From a Gwen Stefani doll (like someone will buy that for their kids??) to an Ashley Tisdale doll (pre-nose job), you name it, it was there.

There was even a doll of Bindi Irwin. As creepy as that is, the creepiest by far was the Heath Ledger doll. His family says they approved the project, which will feature Heath as the Joker.

Coming to a toy store near you…..

A spokesman for R Kelly has issued a statement regarding the accusations made by George Daniels about having an inappropriate relationship with his former publicist’s daughter.

”It’s hard to take seriously the moral outrage expressed by George and Regina Daniels over R. Kelly’s relationship with Mr. Daniels’ adult daughter, Maxine. The fact is that they had no problem with the relationship — indeed, they encouraged it — while Ms. Daniels was on Mr. Kelly’s payroll. It was Regina Daniels, then working as a publicist for Mr. Kelly, who persuaded him to attend her step-daughter’s 21st birthday party. And it was Regina Daniels who shortly thereafter gave her step-daughter Mr. Kelly’s private phone number, with the admonition: ‘Don’t tell your father.’ It was only after Ms. Daniels resigned her position to avoid being fired for incompetence that her stepdaughter’s relationship suddenly became an issue for her and her husband.”

While fans are gearing up for the next season of Dancing with the Stars, one familiar name will no longer be on the roster of professional dancers. Maksim Chmerkovskiy has announced that he’s taking a break.

A spokesperson says he just needed a break but will definitely be back. Maksim was a fan favorite, dancing with Laila Ali and Mel B.

Keep your eyes and ears open to see if he’ll return for Season Seven.

Lily Allen is most definitely going from one low to another. She just can’t get a break! The singer’s highly hyped new talk show has premiered to disastrous ratings. ‘Lily Allen and Friends’ only had 255,000 viewers for its first broadcast on BBC3. That’s far off from the network’s average of 466,000 viewers for her time slot. I guess those people in the audience that walked out before the taping even reached halfway through weren’t the only ones who thought Lily was a big bomb. But then again, if putting a whole fist in your mouth is all the talent you do on your show then yeah, you would be a bomb.

Harry Potter sweetie Emma Watson has fallen under the spell of ex-junkie rocker Johnny Borrell.

Emma, 17, whose character Hermione Granger romances fellow film wizard Ron Weasley, spent a night partying with the Razorlight frontman, 27. They later left together in a taxi.

Borrell has a history of drug and alcohol abuse, and once said that he was “a smackhead at 16”. He was dumped by Hollywood’s Kirsten Dunst because of his bad boy rocker lifestyle.

Emma, who has dated rising rugby star Tom Ducker, 16, and marries Ron (Rupert Grint) in the final Potter book, was with Borrell at two London bashes. A source said: “She seemed really happy. She’s a Razorlight fan and was star-struck”

Backstreet Boys’ unofficial front mat Nick Carter was caught as he took a quick pick into his nose when he was waiting to check in on Monday at LAX International Airport in Los Angeles, California. Whether it was a pick, a scratch or complete nasal penetration, it’s all the joys of the nose pick. You better just hope you don’t get caught in public.

Nick is going to join the rest of his man band soon as The Backstreet Boys ‘Unbreakable Tour’ will kick off on February 16 in Tokyo, Japan and will end on May 14 in London, England. So far, there aren’t any stops in the US.

Amy Winehouse has a new man in her life – and his name is Blake.

The singer, who won an incredible five Grammy awards on Sunday, has been holed up in a central London hotel with photographer Blake Wood. And this Blake couldn’t be much farther from Amy’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil who is currently locked away in Pentonville Prison awaiting trial.

Blake number two is a teetotal, drug-free American vegetarian…with a job.

Amy’s pal Kelly Osbourne introduced the trendy magazine snapper and artist to Amy. They hit it off and have been locked away together for hours on end at London’s Park Plaza Hotel since she left rehab. Blake II has been credited with helping her deliver a show-stopping Grammys performance.

Singer Mel C has admitted being a bad role model for kids when she was first in the Spice Girls.

The star said she led an unhealthy lifestyle; not eating enough and working out too much. Sporty Spice said: “I was underweight. I was a terrible role model to girls.”

Mel, 33 — real name Melanie Chisholm — vowed she’d never work with the band again.

But she changed her mind to join them on the Spice Girls’ current global reunion tour.

Amidst the sudden death of Heath Ledger, many had forgotten about the untimely death of another young Hollywood star. Brad Renfro was found dead in his L.A. apartment on January 15.

The coroner’s report is in, and his death was ruled to be from a heroin overdose. The exact report says “acute heroin/morphie intoxication”.

This was not Brad’s first run-in with trouble. He was sentenced to two years probation back in 1997 for trying to steal a yacht.

She is officially the hottest, well, make that most popular girl around. Ugly Betty has finally managed to get her own doll.

Made by Madame Alexander, it is a perfect representation of the America Ferrera character. But they aren’t available just yet. The doll will be offered in both 8 and 18 inch versions and will be available starting in May.

Fans fear for the life of Britney Spears as once again she drives haphazardly around LA in her black Mercedes once again. After being released from a psychiatric ward last night chaos ensued.

Her parents Jamie and Lynne are furious she has been released so early and have issued this statement,

“As parents of an adult child in the throws of a mental health crisis, we were extremely disappointed this morning to learn that over the recommendation of her treating psychiatrist, our daughter Britney was released from the hospital that could best care for her and keep her safe. We are deeply concerned about our daughter’s safety and vulnerability and we believe her life is presently at risk. There are conservatorship orders in place created to protect our daughter that are being blatantly disregarded. We ask only that the court’s orders be enforced so that a tragedy may be averted.”

Reports from the US this morning claim the singer was released because a court representative found “no just cause” for her to remain in the UCLA Medical Center’s psychiatric unit.

Rihanna is looking hot as she rocks out a beautiful yellow Versace dress on the March 2008 cover of Cosmopolitan. I’m sure she’s happy about being on the cover and looking that hot. I’m just not sure if she’s going to be happy once she sees her picture next to the word ‘va-jay-jay’.

Cosmo actually hosted a private dinner in honor of Rihanna and her March cover. Joining in on the party were ‘One Tree Hill’ star Sophia Bush, ‘Lipstick Jungle’ star Lindsay Price and writer Candace Bushnell who is best known for writing a sex column that became the basis of the hit TV-series ‘Sex and the City’.

After it was revealed that Avril Lavigne is paying dancers way below the industry standards, the Canadian singer and so-called songwriter has cancelled auditions for dancers on her tour. The dance community was set to boycott Avril for the low pay rate but the Dancer’s Alliance posted an update on Monday night saying that “As of February 4th, 10:30pm Avril’s management has canceled the audition tomorrow and has opened up a new conversation with the agencies. Thanks for everyone’s support on this issue.”

Congratulations to the dancers for getting what they wanted. Demand for what your worth and don’t fall prey to egos like Avril!
