According to news sources (via ontd), Jack White, of White Stripes/Raconteurs fame and his wife Karen Elson of Citizen Band /catwalk fame, have welcomed their first child, Scarlett Teresa into the world.
White–who suspiciously married Elson right after ex-girlfriend Renee Zellweger married Kenny Chesney–named the baby after his mother. But for while he was leaning towards calling her Suckitrenee .

Forget about her reported trysts with Nick Lachey– according to Star magazine, Jessica Simpson has her eyes set on another musician that makes you reach for the radio dial: James “You’re Beautiful” Blunt.
A friend of Jessica says she was “determined to meet him” at the MTV Video Music Awards in Australia, and when she finally did she gave him her phone number and email address. Now, I’m not one to root against love, but I reeeallllyyyy hope this doesn’t work out. I mean, if they started dating it would increase the chances of a Jessica Simpson/ James Blunt duet… and I couldn’t possibly think of anything I’d want to hear less. Unless they had a three-way with Daniel Powter. Now THAT would be a bad day.

Charlie Sheen has one-upped estranged wife Denise Richards’ TMZ interview, with a sit-down chat with an even bigger media titan: Jerry Penacoli. Who’s the bigger star now, b*tch?
While Charlie maintains that he’s no saint and that he’s the first to apologize for his actions and beg for forgiveness for all the dirty, dirty things he’s done, it’s Richards who’s gone too far this time. In fact, Sheen contends he’s a victim of her “psychological terrorism.” I think that’s a taupe on the terror alert color chart.

Last year, Katie Holmes’ rumored starting salary for being Tom Cruise’s gal was $5 million dollars. But she’s shown so much initiative in her first year alone, by passively promoting Scientology, getting knocked up and even going the extra mile to follow Tom across the globe during the third term of her pregnancy, that the Cruise corporation decided to give her a raise.
Tom Cruise has reportedly given Katie a prenuptial agreement worth over $40 million. Sources say the actress will receive a trust fund of $15 million even if she doesn’t wed Cruise, and if she does she’ll earn another $25 million in the event of a divorce. Sure it’s a lot of money in a short amount of time, but based on her performance we think she’s earned every penny.

Check out this new interview with Denise Richards, where the actress reveals how hurt she feels about Heather Locklear’s betrayal (huh?). According to Richards who’s been shacking up with Heather’s husband Richie Sambora, “Heather knows why and when her marriage ended with Richie.” Our guess is it was around the time when this picture came out.

What if we were to tell you one of Hollywood’s most famous couples are on the verge of splitting up after finally setting a date for their wedding? After pre-nup pressures and scandalous family problems, their relationship is at a total standstill, with neither party interested in tying the knot.
Pretty good blind item, right? If I told you that couple was TomKat, Brangelina or even DJ AM and Nicole Richie, it’d be a great gossip story, true?

According to Mike Walker of the National Enquirer, Brooke Shields sent an olive branch to Tom Cruise as a kind of truce after their ongoing public battle over postpartum depression. The stars, who had babies in the same hospital only hours apart, have sparred in the media over their approaches to treating the disease.
But Brooke thinks sending Tom an olive branch in the mail will show him she wants to make amends. And that’s just the beginning, for his wedding she plans to send him four blades of grass and a worm.
She also included a card that read: “At times like this, when you have so much to be thankful for, I would like to personally welcome your daughter Suri into the world, and congratulate you both.” Actually that was already printed on the card. She just wrote “Love, Brooke”.

We have to give props to ThirdWheel for Dropping this gem. During a recent radio interview, everybody’s favorite Desperate Ex-Husband Nick Lachey took a shot at Mean Girl Lindsay Lohan. Lindsay recently commented that the next time she sees Nick out she’s going to “attack him” because “he’s such a dog… he’d go for it.” well, this dog bites. Here’s Nick’s response:
“I can safely say that I don’t have any interest in Lindsay Lohan… nor do I understand anyone else who does.”
I don’t know what’s better, Nick’s swipe at L-Lo or the corny radio DJ’s fake laugh and “I hear ya man!” Funny on so many levels. You can listen to the whole thing here. Then head over to the Drop It section and drop something of your own!

Something happened to Keith Richards over the weekend but we’re not sure what. The 62 year-old Rolling Stones guitarist was flown from Fiji via helicopter to New Zealand for observation at a local hospital after he suffered a mild concussion. Meanwhile there has been confusion over reports of how exactly he was injured. While some reports claims he was hurt after he fell out of a palm tree, others say the injury happened when he fell off a jet ski. Okay so he fell off of something. Would it happened to have been a wagon?

Ever since she hooked up with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes has been taunted, teased and mocked by the press.
Come on, we all know what’s keeping her from being taken seriously: her name. As long as she has that ‘ie’ on the end of it, people are going to make fun of her relationship and her life choices. I mean can you blame them? The name Katie is so silly. So that’s why she’ll be going by Kate from now on. Once she makes it official and becomes Kate, as reports suggest, she’ll never be the butt of another joke again.
