In a recent interview, the singer/designer admitted that she still breastfeeds her son, Kingston, who was born in May 2006. "I don't know when I'm going to stop breast-feeding," she says. "I'll just keep going while I can - like, he's getting his teeth, so it is a little bit scary. He's bitten me a few times."
I don't know anything about raising kids, but aren't you supposed to stop breast-feeding after a year or so? Especially when the kid's biting your tits? I wonder how Gavin feels abou...
Geri Halliwell looks damn good in a bikini. [Celebslam] Chris Rock would like you to know, for once and for all, that he did not father (this particular) child out of wedlock. [Bossip] Meanwhile, Eddie Murphy finally admits that there is some accuracy to scientific paternity testing. [Cele|bitchy] Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards are back to hating each other. Phew. That was weird for awhile. [Yeeeah!] "Flava Flav is responsible for more homeless black children than Hurricane Katrina." [SOW] Let the Beckham Backlash begin. [Agent Bedhead] When the title of a film review is "I Hate My Life," you sort of already know how the rest of it's gonna read. [Pajiba] Michelle Pfeiffer gets that elusive star on the Boulevard, so Lohan et al can trample over her name on the way to another DUI. [popbytes]
It seems like just yesterday that we crowned ... someone? ... the new American Idol winner. (In my defense, it's 1:30 am, but I honestly had to Google it to remember that it was Jordan Sparks ... and I was live-blogging every episode. Each season of that show just blurs with the last.) But it's time to start up the insanity again, and it's kicking off this year in Dallas, Texas. It's the standard story: lines stretched forever, it was way fucking hot, contestants only get 15 seconds to sing, Ryan Seacrest is getting head from androgynous characters in a bathroom stall between takes, etc. Maybe this is why nothing exceptional ever happens to me, but I just don't understand why anyone would want to do that, even if they are a good singer. Like, there's a tiny voice in my head that would say, like, "Hey, Beet, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to become a superstar! Sure, the odds are slim, but you've gotta go for it! You'll only achieve success if you pursue your dreams at all costs!" And then a huge, bellowing voice in my head responds, "It's hot," and then I'd stay in and watch Gilmore Girls reruns instead and hope someone discovers me in a mall.
In coming weeks, auditions will be held in Omaha, Atlanta, Charleston, Miami and Philadelphia. Can we please talk about these Omaha auditions? If Adam Duritz hadn't thought to write a whole song about it, I'd never have known Omaha existed. (I just have to note here that my friend Palimo -- a musical prodigy -- once devoted his considerable talent to making up new words to "Omaha," and it started like this: "Boned your ma, somewhere in a Little America," and then it went on but I forget how but Palimo, if you ever read this blog, kindly leave them in the comments). Anyway, Omaha's in the middle of fucking nowhere, a few hours out of Des Moines and about a day's drive from Chicago, but I truly cannot wait to see the midwestern farm stories they manage to pull out of the Omaha auditions. />It seems like just yesterday that we crowned ... someone? ... the new American Idol winner.

Fergie and the rest of the Black Eyed Peas crew arrived in Japan today for a show out there. Normally I think she looks just awful, but she's almost -- almost -- bordering on pretty here. Not, like, deserving-of-Josh-Duhamel pretty, but she at least looks presentable. ...
Because all of their solo careers have gone so very well, the Backstreet Boys have teamed up to release yet another single, called "Inconsolable." Missing from the new four-member crew is Kevin Richardson, who left the band back in 2006, saying that the departure was "necessary in order to move on with the next chapter of my life." He and his wife had a baby boy named Mason in July. Did somebody say Yoko Ono?
You can listen to a sample of the new song, which debuted on New York's Z100 today...
So we're not going to reprint any of the things that Spencer Pratt has said about Lauren Conrad recently. Not because we have standards or anything, but because I like LC and I hate Spencer and I just don't want his nonsense on my blog. But, if you must know, you can read his recent (scathing) blog post here or listen to him and Heidi spew their anti-Lauren venom on the radio here. (By the way, all the talk of a wedding -- it's so not happening. This engagement is such a fraud. Note how wheneve...
I guess she's in this new Adam Sandler movie, You Don't Mess with the Zohan, which has been filming all over NYC for the past few weeks. I thought that, after leaving LA for NYC, I'd be free of assorted film crews for awhile, but honestly on my very first night here I was at a burlesque club (they're like strippers but fat) on the Lower East Side, and they were filming this movie right outside the club all night. I think I attract film crews. Someone should make me a star already.
Anyway, ...
Manager Jeff Kwatinez may have been frustrated by Kelly Clarkson's refusal to listen to the advice of Clive Davis, but at least Kelly doesn't have a reputation for cleaning up her dog's poop with Chanel dresses, urinating on-set with the bathroom door open, flaking out on her commitments, and, you know, doing cocaine all the time.
But, for whatever reason, Mr. Kwatinez, who was fired by Kelly last month, feels he's prepared to take on Britney Spears, and has recently agreed to sign on as her m...
I know I announced not too long ago that Shiloh Jolie-Pitt was the cutest child ever, but I think I need to reconsider. Brooke Shields' little Grier is absolutely adorable, too. Brooke, her daughter, and her husband Chris Henchy hung out at the Mercedes Benz Polo Challenge for charity this weekend. Brooke hosted the event.
Look, I know I probably won't be writing a celebrity gossip blog twenty years from now, but I really hope we're still following celebrity gossip as closely then as we do now, because I'm really excited to watch all these kids grow up ...

It's an age-old question, one that I'm sure has been posed countless times by her frustrated managers, lawyers, PR reps, directors, co-stars and hangers-on. Usually we can answer it by calling any one of the paparazzi agencies in the LA area. "She's at home," they'll say, "we're out front. Don't expect her to be awake any time soon." But these days the question is a little tougher to answer, since she's been totally off the radar ever since her most recent DUI.
The New York Post is reporti...
From Page Six:
DIRECTOR Brett Ratner based a scene in "Rush Hour 3" on a sexual encounter he had with a transvestite. Asked by The Advocate about the sequence "when the girl takes off her wig and Chris Tucker becomes angry and accuses her of being a man," Ratner responded, "That's from my personal experience. My first [oral sex] was from a man, but I didn't know it was a man . . . I'm not homophobic or uptight about it. That happens to a lot of heterosexuals. You meet a girl in a bar, and ...
