Dennis Quaid Files Lawsuit, Britney Spears Almost Edged Out, and Another Nose Job

Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly filed a lawsuit for $50,000 today against the makers of Heparin. Their newborn twins were accidentally given large quantities of the blood thinner in which they "suffered and will continue to suffer injuries of a pecuniary nature." The babies, Zoe Grace and Thomas Boone, are now at home with their parents.

- Britney Spears almost skipped out on her $500,000 shoot for her song "Pieces of Me". Her record company, Jive Records, expected something like this might happen so they told newcomer Samantha Jade to be on call to use the shoot for her "Eyes on Me" single. However when Brit Brit got wind of this, she hauled her ass down to the shoot and managed to pump out a video. I guess the only thing that will make Britney live up to her promises is the promise that a hotter, younger popstar is going to steal her spotlight.

- Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony had a scare yesterday when a suspicious individual wearing a Star Wars t-shirt with a bunch of cds rang their doorbell and left a package on their doorstep. Cops determined the individual wasn't a threat and he was not arrested. The Anthonys were not at home during the incident.

- High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale got herself a new schnoz last Friday, citing a "deviated septum" as the only reason for the plastic surgery. Mmmhmmmm....

- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will perform during the Super Bowl halftime show on February 3.

- Christina Aguilera supposedly wants to name her baby boy Jackson Jake Bratman and call him "J.J." I'm not a fan...

- "Gossip Girl" Leighton Meester is denying reports that she and costar Chace Crawford cozying up offset, but she admits the two are "really close."

- No more Sex and the City: The Movie pictures for you! The cast had an official wrap party at the Royalton Hotel. What will Sarah Jessica Parker do next? Better yet, what will Kim Cattrall do? Hopefully she won't be forced to star in Ice Princess 2: Cold as Ice.

- Patrick Dempsey: Fashion Model? Dempsey has been chosen to be the new model for Versace's spring/summer collection.

- Bill Clinton has a thing for Penelope Cruz.

- Sarah Michelle Gellar may have lost her role as Alice in a live-action sequel to Alice in Wonderland to Maggie Grace from "Lost".

Weekend Roundup

In sad news this week, Kanye West's mother, Donda West, passed away Saturday. She died as the result of complications with cosmetic surgery, her publicist confirmed to CNN today. Donda was chairwoman of Chicago State University's English department before leaving her post to become Kanye's manager in 2004. She also served as chairwoman of the Kanye West Foundation, an educational nonprofit helping decrease dropout rates and improve literacy. Donda recently released a book entitled Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star.

- Britney Spears may have failed a drug test. I no longer know if I'm reporting on Britney or Anna Nicole Smith. UPDATE: The cause of the failed drug test was prescription drugs. A Britney source told TMZ, "The only thing that comes on the results are the prescriptions, that the court doctor prescribed. There has been no illegal drugs or even alcohol in any of the test results."

- Britney's new album "Blackout" is losing the top spot on the charts mighty fast.

- Elisabeth Hasselbeck gave birth to a baby boy this weekend, whose name she will reveal today when she calls into "The View". UPDATE: Elisabeth announced she and husband Tim Hasselbeck named their son Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck.

- Christina Aguilera had a blue-themed baby shower this weekend. And what would any baby shower be without a perfomance by a few drag queens?


- Angelina Jolie's leather pants began to split this weekend at the London premiere of Beowulf. But not to worry, Brad Pitt shielded the split by putting his hand on her ass.

- Does pregnancy cause your hair to thin out? Nicolette Sheridan reportedly asked her costars this question, prompting rumors that she might be preggers.

- News of the World is reporting that Chelsy Davy has dumped Prince Harry.

- Kate Hudson might be dating Heath Ledger these days. I can't keep up with her love life.

- Alicia Keys is glad she listened to her mama. She first chose her stage name to be Alicia Wild, which her mother told her made her sound like a stripper. Well, anything is better than her real name... Alicia Augello-Cook.

- A woman got so excited upon seeing Jessica Simpson at NYC's Waverly Inn restaurant last week that she "gets up and runs through the crowd to get a peek." But instead of catching up to Simpson, the woman fell over onto a table knocking it over, sending plates and glasses flying, and then she finally landed near the fireplace. I know what you are thinking... No, it wasn't me. I swear!

"Nip/Tuck" is back... And so is Pop Guru

Yo yo yo!!! After The Guru's very long hiatus, I'm back and ready to dish!

- The boys from McNamara/Troy are back and have taken up shop in Los Angeles! I can't wait to see what Season Five of "Nip/Tuck" has in store for us. It premieres tonight at 10pm on F/X. Expect lots of kooks and superficial desires. And sex. This is Christian Troy we are talking about. Guest stars this season: Oliver Platt, Bradley Cooper, and...sigh... Rosie O'Donnell.

- Britney Spears just lost custody of her kids again. Honestly, just put that trailer on wheels and head back down south. I've completely lost interest in her life, in the same way Britney has lost interest in her offspring.

- "The Hills" had their special Big Apple episode last night and I couldn't help but notice a moonlight dinner at Da Silvano was absent from the half-hour. Since I scooped them on their filming a couple months ago, I guess they felt the leak was too huge to include in the show.

- Speaking of "The Hills", there has been lots of talk of the show being fake or scripted. Um, duh. That's what makes it so delightful! Constantly wondering if Heidi and Spencer really did accidentally show up at the same restaurant as Lauren or if the producers set it up is all the fun of the show. Among the lies:

1) Heidi doesn't really work at Bolthouse Productions. WHAT?! Are you telling me that she didn't really get a promotion, too?
2) Audrina also doesn't work at Sony BMG.
3) When Lauren goes on the date with Gavin the model, she has on red nail polish. When she gets home, the polish disappears and her hair is magically curlier as she calls Brody.
4) And about that date with Gavin the model... Yeah, the producers got him to ask Lauren out. Here is his interview with Best Week Ever where he dishes all about his time on "The Hills".

- Pregnant Nicole Richie was seen smoking at two NYC restaurants, including Da Silvano. Damn it! I can't believe I missed that! But really, Nicole, bravo on the parenting. I see you've taken some lessons from Ms. Spears.

- Angelina Jolie and Cate Blanchett might be pregnant... Seeing as we haven't even gotten a confirmation from Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Lopez yet, it may be a while until anything is confirmed on this new baby speculation.

- Despite reports that Jay Leno might stick around when his contract is up, Jeff Zucker, head of NBC, says Leno will hit the road and Conan O'Brien will take over "The Tonight Show" in 2009 as originally planned.

- Now Coolio is getting his own reality show? This is really getting out of hand. I totally forgot he even existed. That isn't to say I won't watch...

- I saw Dan in Real Life this week and I highly recommend it. The only thing wrong with this movie is the mere existence of Dane Cook, which is also what is wrong with the world.

- Apparently Fergie thinks she is Jem...

Transform Your Mind!

I'm one of those people that will go see a movie even if I think it looks stupid. I want to see it so when people bring it up, I can go, "UGH!! That movie was awful! I can't believe you liked it. I mean, if I have to watch Cameron Diaz shake her ass one more time..." But I will see Cameron Diaz shake her ass one more time because I will inevitably see her next terrible movie...just to complain about it. It is a vicious cycle, my friends.

Well, this is what I was expecting when I entered the theater to see Transformers. All I knew about it was that there was some cartoon when we were little about cars that transform into robots or something weird like that and the kid from "Even Stevens" who is "the next Tom Hanks" was in it. But I also knew it was supposed to be the biggest movie of the summer, so I figured why the hell not? It'll give me something to complain about. Boy, was I ever wrong! This movie is awesome! Never in a million years did I think robot battles would be something I would be interested in, but it is! The digital work on this film is unbelievable! I actually believed Optimus Prime and Megatron were flying through the sky right at me! I kept hearing about how Shia LaBeouf is going to be the biggest star ever after this movie and I never doubted that fact. But now, I am a converted Shia lover! His comedic timing is priceless. I didn't think this movie would be funny, but it is quite entertaining in both drama and comedy. A dramedy, if you will.

Transformers isn't just for guys, but I will say that, of course, it appeals to men more than women. But seriously, who wouldn't believe that women in the CIA are eighteen and straight out of Playboy? C'mon, you know that's like a requirement to even be considered by the CIA. So if you have nothing to do one day, I highly recommend heading to the cinema to see Transformers. I found it thoroughly entertaining.

But on with the news...

- Us Weekly's cover this week features Nicole Richie and the line "Yes, She's Pregnant!" Sources also say she will be marrying the papa, Joel Madden of the band Good Charlotte. This is a pretty elaborate scheme to get out of the slammer if you ask me. Hopefully now she will eat something.

- E! News is reporting that Christina Aguilera is expecting a bundle of joy with her husband, Jordan Bratman.

- Heaven help us... Paris Hilton is taking acting classes.

- The "Sex and the City" movie is back on. Women across America rejoice and break out your Manolos, condoms, and Cosmopolitans!

- Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo were photographed getting down and dirty in a hot tub in Mexico on their anniversary. Nick had this to say about the scandal: "I was in Mexico with my girlfriend of a year, celebrating our anniversary on a private vacation. It's not like I was caught with a Mexican hooker."

- Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are supposedly getting married Friday (but I've also heard Saturday).

- Johnny Knoxville has filed for divorce after twelve years of marriage. Funny that he is the one filing for divorce. I didn't think any woman could put up with him at all, much less his love of nose candy, broken bones, stapling body parts together, letting alligators bite his nipples, getting hit with paint balls... Shall I go on?

- Drew Barrymore has been seen making out with... Zach Braff? Huh?! I didn't see this one coming!

- Perez Hilton is reporting that Rachael Ray and her husband, John Cusimano, are breaking up. However, Us Weekly says this rumor is just crap...like Rachael's food!

- Nelly Furtado is engaged to some dude named Demo Castellon.

- And finally, I'd like to explain to Britney Spears that an acting part in a movie is spelled "role". The Little Debbie snack she loves is called a Chocolate "Roll". I can see how she'd get confused... This is what Britney wrote on her website:

Fame-Stealers and Jail Terms

- Dina Lohan is trying to steal her daughter's spotlight...yet again. Dina has been hired by "Entertainment Tonight" to interview celebrities as they walk down the red carpet at the Georgia Rule premiere. She wants to launch a high-profile TV career and get Rosie's spot on "The View", but sources say "ET" is just using her to get the Lindsay exclusive during the wake of her recent cocaine scandle. London's News of the World has published pictures of a girl snorting a white substance and claiming it is Lindsay Lohan in a "marathon binge".

- Paris Hilton is pleading with Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her from serving jail time for her crimes. She is also asking her fans to sign a petition to keep her out of that orange jumpsuit. Don't be surprised if you don't find my name on that petition.

- Now this is what I like to hear! A celebrity owning up to their actions! Paris, take notes. George Michael has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs. He stated, "I am perfectly aware that I did something very wrong . . . and I'm perfectly prepared to accept the correct punishment." He will find out what his jail term will be on May 30.

- It's been a rough week for celebrities. Ty Pennington of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" has been charged with a DUI, along with the rest of Hollywood.

- Brittany Murphy has married her boyfriend, Simon Monjack, after only a few short months. Only nine months ago, she broke off her engagement to Joe Macaluso.

- Katie Couric could be out of a job soon. "CBS Evening News" had record low ratings last week.

- Now you can smell "Dirrty" like Christina Aguilera. She is getting her own perfume.

- If you want to know who wins "The Bachelor: An Officer and a Gentleman", then click here.

- Yes! Bravo's "Top Chef" is heading to Miami and premieres June 13 at 10pm.

- For years, I have been hearing how phenomenal "Veronica Mars" is. Well, upon seeing a promo that one of my many boyfriends, Paul Rudd, was going to be on last night, I took the plunge and watched. I came to the conclusion that I haven't been missing much.

- So now the pot has called the kettle "trash". Regarding Britney Spears' rehab relationship with Howie Day, a source says Kevin Federline stated, "You have to head to the dump to find trash, referring to how Britney and Howie met while in rehab.” Britney must have been spending a lot of time in dumps in 2004 when she met you, K-Fed.
