Jude Law was shocked to find out he'd gotten model Samantha Burke pregnant with his fourth child - he thought she was on the Pill, it has been claimed.
"Jude assumed she was on the Pill," a source told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper. "He was stunned at being informed of the pregnancy. Jude feels like now he has been made to look the bad guy. One of the reasons their brief relationship didn't work out is because Samantha was a little too keen.
She claimed she was falling in love after just a couple of weeks."
And that is what you get for assuming...

Republican Whip Eric Cantor has skipped his party's big annual fundraiser on Tuesday to attend Britney Spears' concert in Washington DC.
As confirmed by GOP aides to the Huffington Post, the House Minority representative went to the show at the request of a fundraiser. Though he apparently didn't enjoy the show, Cantor heroically stayed through the whole show for the conservative party.
An insider told the news trade, "If suffering through a Britney Spears concert will raise one more dime to help Republicans take back the House, then I'm glad Cantor's willing to do it."
WTF? I'm sure he "suffered" through her performance. Good grief.

"They went to a bank of elevators that only goes to the spa or to private room," a source tells Star magazine.
"They came back about 45 minutes later, and that's when I saw them making out."
More on Pattinson...

He says, "I love Twilight.
"Oh my God are you kidding me? Robert Pattinson in a word - dreamy."
Ryan also said that he wouldn't mind doing a film with Pattinson in the future.

The Gossip Girl spin-off, set to take off via a 20-minute flashback on the CW series' May 11 episode, hasn't even received an official pick-up, but executive producer Josh Schwartz already has a lot of ideas for it.
For instance, according to Schwartz, since the spin-off took place in the 80s when Serena's (Blake Lively) mom Lily (Kelly Rutherford) was in high school, it's very possible that she'll meet and even hang out with several characters from The O.C.
"What we know is ['OC' characters] Kirsten Cohen, or Kirsten Nichols as she was born, and Jimmy Cooper lived in Newport Beach in the '80s," he said. "So there's a total possibility that in one episode, Lily could have been friends with Kirsten or Jimmy Cooper when they were young. I would love to do that."

Lance Armstrong collided with two other bike riders on Monday.
He is now recovering in Austin, Texas, after a five-inch stainless-steel plate and 12 screws were inserted in his collarbone, Armstrong, 37, will be up and at 'em in a week, his doctor says.
"Our goal was to stabilize his fracture as quickly as possible, but in a safe fashion, and then allow Lance to do the things he does best," Dr. Douglas Elenz says.
As Armstrong's collarbone mends, his doctor will "advance him off the exercise bike on to the street and take it day-by-day, week-by-week and month-by-month … We're going to have to allow him to train and even potentially ride with a fracture that is not 100-percent healed."

Each fall we see new television line-ups. We lose some, we gain some and the hope is that everything balances out. Fortunately for me, "One Tree Hill" and "Smallville" are still airing on CW. But, we lost "Gilmore Girls" and I have mourned, but only briefly since I was irritated when Lorelai made the ridiculous marriage mistake...A new addition to the CW line-up involves the blog of the "all knowing albeit ultra-secretive Gossip Girl." The premise of this show is based on the best selling series of "Gossip Girl" books.
The CW's "Gossip Girl" involves a cast in high-school and the gossip is about Manhattan elite...tends to be the high school students; especially Serena van der Woodsen who has left boarding school and is returning to Manhattan...
Since this show is coming to us on the CW, from the producers of "The OC" I have a feeling it will become a sensation quickly. The premiere is Wednesday, September 19th (9/8c) to be in the know before everyone else, check out the MySpace Fan Page.
