La vida loca

Rounding up the hottest and latest in gossip entertainment news for you.

Congrats to Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale: the couple welcomed a baby boy on Thursday in Los Angeles. Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale popped out at 12:48pm, and weighed eight and a half pounds. Zuma Nesta Rock? Really? Are we sure she wasn't still on drugs when she told the doctor's to write that one down?

*~*~*

Britney Spears and ex-beau Justin Timberlake are bringing sexy back with a duet for Brit's new album due out at the end of the year.

Pop music's former couple were supposed to team up on Britney's last album "Blackout," but Brit never showed up for the recording session at music producer Timbaland's Virginia Beach recording studio last August.

*~*~*

Melanie Chisholm is ready to spice up her life - with a baby!

The sometime Sporty Spice, 34, and her boyfriend of six years, property developer Thomas Starr, confirmed the pregnancy on her web site Friday morning.

"Some happy news," she wrote. "I can now announce that Tom and I are expecting a baby and we are very happy."

*~*~*

Barney Stinson and Stella, finally together.

OK, maybe not, but the actors who play those two characters on How I Met Your Mother have been tapped to host the Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards. Neil Patrick Harris and Sarah Chalke (best know for her work on Scrubs) will co-host the ceremonies, which will take place on September 13 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. The event will air a week later, September 20, on the E! Channel.

Metallica have just released the first single off their upcoming album, Death Magnetic. The epic track is entitled "The Day That Never Comes" and it's now available through iTunes.

*~*~*

A bored star-struck copper cracked down on Katherine Heigl, when she recently threw her cigarette butt on the ground (no less than 10ft. from a garbage can at that!), a police officer biked over and told her to pick it up.

"He added that he'd fine her next time he catches her tossing trash on the sidewalk."

Nice!

*~*~*

Mariah Carey, Britney Spears and Nicole Kidman are among the stars named and shamed for their bizarre demands and rock 'n' roll behaviour in a list of the worst celebrity hotel guests.

*~*~*

Last but not least it is true, Ricky Martin is now the parent of twin boys.

"The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care," the rep said in a statement. "Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children."

Elated? Oh is he now?

    Rumors, Truths and Summer Movies

    For those of you who enjoyed Robert Downey, Jr. in "Iron Man" you'll have another chance to see him this summer in his August movie "Tropic Thunder." Somehow I doubt it will be as big a hit as "Iron Man."

    Tropic Thunder, doesn't sound like my cup of tea. The director is none other than Ben Stiller and his cast of comedic actors attempt to poke holes in the movie industry, spoofing everything from iconic action heroes to the embarrassing obnoxiousness of professional comedians to racial stereotypes facing non-white actors. This kind of satire is typically not something I find amusing. Sorry.

    *~*~*~*

    Recently, Gavin Rossdale was interviewed and asked what it is like to be married to Gwen Stefani. His answer bothers me, but was probably made as a joke. "It's like marrying three different people a week, because you never know who's going to come out of the bathroom."

    *~*~*~*

    One of the cruelest rumors I have ever heard from the land of Hollywood came about this week in reference to Ashley Tisdale. Someone started a rumor that the actress has HIV. If this had been true it of course would be very upsetting. It was said she contracted the virus after a stay in the hospital. She and her reps have said it is completely untrue. I feel extremely awful for her.

    *~*~*~*

    Julia Roberts' daughter has psychic powers - she knew her baby brother was going to be born prematurely, and even guessed the day. Rock on!


    *~*~*~*

    And...Clint Eastwood told Spike Lee he needed to "shut his face." It didn't go over well.
