According to reports, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl is now in the process of begging producers not to kill her off - months after she threatened to quit.

Speculation Heigl was set to leave the hit drama reached fever-pitch when her character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, was diagnosed with severe brain and liver cancer.

Referring to her future on the show, she said: "I'm there if Izzie remains part of Grey's Anatomy", describing it as one of her "favourite places to be".

The former "Party of Five" star and his wife Kelley welcomed a son into the family on Sunday, March 22, report celeb sites.

The little tyke is named Jackson Kayse Wolf -- a pretty nifty name for a celebrity baby -- and weighed 7 lbs.

Excellent birthday, speaking from a gal also born on that day...but 28 years ago.

Public sympathy plus her natural dancing ability have quickly turned Melissa Rycroft into an instant celebrity. As mentioned previously, the former Bachelor contestant turned Dancing with the Stars participant, has reportedly been offered $500,000 to pose nude in Playboy. But that's not all. As someone who is pulled from anonymity and catapulted immediately into the national media spotlight, Rycroft has become a favorite, not just by ordinary fans but other celebrities as well.

Britney Spears has embarked on a passionate affair with a backing dancer in a bid to win back the original dancer in her life - ex-husband Kevin Federline, it's claimed.

The singer is said to have fallen back in love with the father of her two boys after spending time with her former spouse while on the road with her Circus act.

"They are seeing each other every day," a source tells OK!. "When Kevin's had the boys for the day, they greet their mom with hugs and kisses, and their dad fills Britney in on how they spent their time. It's just like any other family when one of the parents comes home from work."

Two months after news broke of the alleged violent fight between Rihanna and Chris Brown, a PSA about domestic violence starring Keira Knightley is set to debut in theaters.

The two-minute clip, which will start airing April 6, depicts Knightley being violently kicked and beaten by a man.

"While domestic violence exists in every section of society we rarely hear about it," says the actress, who volunteered to act in the clip for the charity Women's Aid. "Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week." Atonement director Joe Wright directed the spot.

    Her much-anticipated Circus tour is kicking off Tuesday, March 3, 2009, but Britney Spears has even more to look forward to. Marking her first-ever apparel endorsement, the princess of pop has been named the next Candie's Only at Kohl's spokesmodel. The singer will be stepping into the shoes of Heroes star Hayden Panettiere who was the face of the shoe line for two years. As part of her new gig, Britney will appear in Candie's print, television, in-store and online ads this year. Candie's and Kohl's also plan to follow Spears on her comeback tour, rolling out pink carpets and VIP lounges for her fans.

    Colin Farrell has been leaning on Keira Knightley following his recent split from girlfriend Emma Forrest.

    The Irish actor, 32, split from novelist Emma last month after the pair had dated for almost a year.

    And Farrell is now seeking solace in Knightley - his costar in new movie London Boulevard.

    Bleck. I don't like Colin Farrell and I'm fairly certain Keira will not get caught up in any of his so-called charm.

    *~*~*

    Miley Cyrus can't understand why everyone's making such a big deal over a photo of her cleavage.

    The 16-year-old was recently snapped jogging with her shirtless older beau Justin Gaston. Miley was sporting a cleavage-baring top - and her assets were there for everyone to see.

    I don't understand it either. When you wear a bikini under a top and you're running it's not easy to hide cleavage if your top moves, too. I'm so tired of people picking on her. Good grief!

    *~*~*

    So, we all know that Izzie is sick and that whatever she has is not going to be good. Rumors have it that her illness has been devised as a way to give Katherine Heigl a smooth (and permanent) exit from the show, but we've gotten no confirmations yet as to whether or not that's true.

    According to Spoiler TV, Justin Chambers revealed in an interview with TVGuide.ca that "Izzie has cancer, so I'm there to support her."

    Lindsay Lohan's hitting a slump?

    ABC dramedy Ugly Betty cut from six episodes to four. And, in fact, E! reports that Lohan will also be cut out of the episodes she's already filmed, as "she was not so interested in creating a character." But this was right after she left rehab and I feel she is more on her game now. While I would never condone her past behavior, I do think she is a great actress. She just doesn't always get great roles.

    To make matters worse for LiLo she is being sued. The actress is being sued by the three men who were in the SUV she drove during a 2007 car chase that resulted in her subsequent DUI arrest, People reports. Yes, I know, it is her fault but man when it rains it pours.

    *~*~*

    Angelina Jolie's recent interview in the Italian version of Vanity Fair gave a tidbit of insight on her views about marriage.

    "Usually people fall in love and everything revolves around the ritual of marriage, children are an afterthought. We did everything backwards . . . But sooner or later it will be the kids who ask us [to get married]. You know, they see films and start asking questions. Such as, 'Why are Shrek and Fiona married and you're not?' "

    I think it's cute her kids compare their parents to Shrek and Fiona. I think it says a lot about the couple; a good lot at that.

    *~*~*

    Further proof that Heidi Montag is an idiot looking for attention...

    She was recently photographed wearing a pink tank top which said "Read my lipstick, Vote McCain-Palin." And her other half was wearing a shirt the same time which read "God, Guns, Glory." Oh someone gag them both and spray paint their clothing.

    They are constantly seen craving media attention, making up scenarios to get said media attention and practically mauling each other in public. Talk about walking contradictions.

    *~*~*

    Britney Spears' traffic case that ended in a mistrial is being trumpeted by her lawyer Michael Flanagan as a monumental triumph of the human spirit, according to People:

    "It marks a turnaround for her. This case was a thorn in her side for more than a year, a reminder of the bad old days," he said. "She's thrilled the court system, for once, worked in her favor."

    Go Britters!

    *~*~*

    Madonna and Guy Ritchie's eight year old son Rocco was spotted at the Chelsea Pier Gym in NYC this week wearing a New York Yankees t-shirt. As you’re probably aware, Madonna and Guy’s marriage reportedly ended because of her relationship with Yankees third baseman, Alex Rodriguez.

    Ouch!

    But this is not Rocco's fault. This is Madonna getting in another ugly dig.

    *~*~*

    On the set of Saturday Night Live, it emerged Sarah Palin did not know who Oliver Stone was. You know, given the Republican vice presidential nominee's past dabbling in Alaskan separatism, JFK might just change her life.

    Katherine Heigl and her main squeeze, her dog Romeo, were on hand last night for the opening of Australian designer Peter Alexander's flagship store in Beverly Hills last night.

    Katherine was joined by the lovely Mandy Moore, PETA spokeswoman Alicia Silverstone, Kristin Cavallari and of course the designer himself who unveiled a line of charity pajamas inspired by Romeo.

    The event benefited animal rescue shelters Hearts United for Rescue and Kinder4Rescue.

    *~*~*

    According to Star Magazine, Benji Madden snuck around with other broads while girlfriend Paris Hilton worked on her reality show in the UK.

    This isn't the first time Paris has caught Benji straying. According to a source, he also cheated on her with a groupie earlier in the month. When Paris found out, she was devastated. "She's miserable and constantly sobbing about his infidelity," says the source.

    Benji and Paris have dated for around eight months, and she’s been accused of hooking up with other dudes during that time as well, so I guess all is fair. Maybe she'll end up staying in London with her new BFF.

    Nice!
