After hearing my husband knew about Hilary Duff possibly being engaged before I knew...well, then I realized the gossip queen was falling WAY behind in her Entertainment segment of Bring Me Up. Why didn't y'all let me know of my failings!?

So here we have a great bit for you to chew on for Sunday morning breakfast.

I consider this some fantastic celebrity news! Straight from Beijing:
After winning gold medal number seven of these Olympics by one hundreth of a second on Saturday, record setting gold number eight seemed to come a little easier for Michael Phelps Sunday morning in Beijing. Joined by his teammates Jason Lezak, Brendan Hansen and Aaron Peirsol, the USA claimed gold in the 4x100 medley relay setting a world record as they did it. The headline of course belongs to Michael Phelps and his 8 gold medals, surpassing the record set by Mark Spitz at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

As expected, Ellen and Portia de Rossi were married Saturday afternoon. Their rep said,"Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were married tonight in an intimate ceremony at their home in Los Angeles." The women announced their engagement back in May. The wedding was attended by 19 guests including both of their mothers.

John Mayer reveals the reasons behind his split with Jennifer Aniston.

"People have different chemistry, they have different lives," John tells the mag. "It's not about years, it's about going out with somebody, being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out. You're either a cheater or you break up and I'm not the first, I'm the second. And that's it. There's no lying, there's no bullsh!t."

Actress/singer Hilary Duff has sparked rumors she's taking her relationship with hockey star Mike Comrie to the next level, after she was photographed wearing a ring on her wedding finger.

*~*~*

According to Page Six, shock jock Howard Stern said "I do" to his longtime girlfriend Beth Ostrosky.

The intimate ceremony reportedly took place on the beach with only family in attendance.

The bride wore an Alice + Olivia white cotton sundress, and a source says "she was barefooted, along with the rest of her guests; it was very casual."

*~*~*

Joe Jonas turned the big 19 on Friday and celebrated with a new hog!

The popular singer's family gave him a new motorcycle, which also donned a sidecar.

"I'm pumped!" he said in an interview with Radio Disney.

*~*~*

He's only been a daddy for a little over a month now, but Matthew McConaughey already has words of wisdom for his baby son Levi, born to he and girlfriend Camila Alves last month.

In an interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta, the 'Fool's Gold' star says he's going to give Levi the same advice his own father gave him: "Don't lie and don't say 'I can't.'"

Meanwhile, the buff actor goes on to say that his son will only eat organic food and will not be allowed goodies like gum, soda or candy!

Seriously, 2008 has been the year for celebrity babies!

I'm super behind on my celebrity baby posting so let's get right down to it.

Nicole Kidman and her husband Keith Urban had their baby girl on Monday and named her Sunday Rose. Their daughter takes her first name from Sunday Reed - an early 20th-century artist's muse- and her middle name from Urban's late grandmother, Rose.

*~*~*

Matthew McConaughey and model Camila Alves' baby boy Levi was born on Monday evening.

*~*~*

Ashlee Simpson might be having a boy. The baby boutique she has been perusing has just reportedly outed her baby's sex. Apparently, she went in there shopping recently for boy stuff.

*~*~*

Skater Tony Hawk, 40, and wife Lhotse Merriam Hawk, 35, have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl. Daughter Kadence Clover Hawk was born Monday, June 30th at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla, CA. She weighed 8 lbs, 8 oz and was 21 inches long.

*~*~*

Singer and former 7th Heaven actress Joy Enriquez, 29, and her husband, music producer Rodney 'Darkchild' Jerkins, 30, welcomed their first child, son Rodney David Jerkins Jr., on Wednesday, May 28th at 2:44 pm in Los Angeles, CA. He weighed 8 lbs, 9 oz and was 20.5 inches long.

*~*~*

Mark Wahlberg was happily rockin' his goofy jean shorts and Notre Dame t-shirt as he and pregnant Rhea Durham shopped around LA yesterday. Judging from the size of that baby bump, Mark's next little one will be joining his already adorable family soon.

Baby Mama star Amy Poehler, 36, and her husband, actor Will Arnett, 37, are expecting their first child together. The baby is due sometime this fall.

One of the icons of the celebrity baby names world is Pilot Inspektor, the four-year-old son of actors Jason Lee and Beth Riesgraf (now Splitsville). Lee's new girlfriend, Ceren Alkac, is expecting a baby in the fall. It's the first child for the couple. How on earth are they going to find a name that can hold its own against Pilot Inspektor?

I think naming the child after a chipmunk would be funny, but I admit I wouldn't do it. And I doubt Lee will either.

In other news but also related to baby names, Matthew McConaughey is said to be in favor of naming his upcoming son, expected in July, after his favorite beer.

The high-testosterone star apparently loves to chug a Budweiser now and then, so his name of choice for the baby is Bud. Hmmm. I'm not digging it, reminds me of "Married With Children..." and that's not a good thing.

Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves are going to be parents! In regards to the news, McConaughey says, "Got some blessed news ... a celebration of life and a bounty .. a newborn conceived ... yes, my girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together ... it's 3 months growin' in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far ... we are stoked and wowed by this miracle of creation and this gift from God.." Awww how sweet is he!? Precious.

It's not always about celebrating celebrity babies...sometimes in the entertainment world you receive bad news. What became of the former child star who played a HUGE role in the 1994 movie "The Client"?

Brad Renfro, age 25, was found dead yesterday in his California home by his girlfriend. Foul play is not suspected; Renfro was an admitted heroin and methadone addict. Very sad.

And of course the gossip mills are still going on about Britney Spears. It is so ridiculous, it even gets reported when she is spotted leaving a grocery store with her new boyfriend. Good grief people, let the girl buy her milk and eggs! She will be on the latest cover of OK! magazine this week so be sure to scoop the issue up for some (hopefully) positive news on Brit.
**
John Mayer tells sports people not to mess with his ex Jessica Simpson. He wrote an entry on his personal blog defending her after recent attacks from Dallas fans that she has been nothing but bad luck since she and Tony Romo started dating. News flash...maybe his head isn't in the game because he is a BAD football player! Let's not give Jessica too much credit here, mmkay!
**
And after 12 years on stage, raking in over $280 million, the Broadway play "Rent" will be closing the curtain on June 1st of this year.

Plus American Idol began running some of their auditions on air last night. Turns out someone from Smryna, Delaware made the cut and went onto California so I'm interested in checking it out. Hopefully there won't be a Sanjaya to make a mockery of this year's season.
