Kylie Minogue's new relationship with Andres Velencoso seems to be getting serious after the pop princess met her lover's parents in Spain.

Brad Pitt isn't surprised that people are interested in his family.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button star - who raises six children with partner Angelina Jolie - can understand why his life garners so much attention, and insists he sees it as a "compliment".

"Well, I think we are an interesting family," Pitt explains. "It's not your usual family. I'm quite interested in my family actually.

That's great Brad, good to know you're interested in your own family, ya shmuck.

A new cast member has been revealed in the "Gossip Girl" prequel starring Kelly Rutherford.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, 'Confessions of a Shopaholic' star Krysten Ritter will play the sister of Lily van der Woodsen (Rutherford) in the "Gossip Girl" Spin-off.

After a misunderstanding with her parents, Lily will be forced to move to the San Fernando Valley to live with her sister, and she will have to adjust to a more modest lifestyle instead of the luxurious life she previously enjoyed.

Really? I don't even like the first show, why would I watch a spin off.

Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman are set to star in a new comedy.

According to Variety, Jennifer will play a woman who wants to have a child by means of artificial insemination and Bateman will play her best friend who secretly switches his sperm with the anonymous donor's. (I think they did this on the soap opera All My Children once.)

Will Speck and Josh Gordon are set to direct the film.

Kellogg will not be renewing their contract with Michael Phelps.

"We originally built the relationship with Michael, as well as the other Olympic athletes, to support our association with the U.S. Olympic team," a company spokeswoman says in a statement. "Michael's most recent behavior is not consistent with the image of Kellogg. His contract expires at the end of February and we have made a decision not to extend his contract."

Gwyneth Paltrow is planning to release her own cookbook.

The Running With Scissors actress - who recently launched her own healthy living website, GOOP - has signed a deal with publishing company Janklow & Nesbit to produce a collection of family-focused recipes emphasizing the importance of togetherness at meal times.

And Paltrow will dedicate the book to her father, Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2002 following a battle with cancer.
