Don't expect the Octo-Babies to be coming home this week. In a big setback for Nadya Suleman, Social workers from Kaiser Permanente hospital just inspected the octomom's new 2,500 square foot house in La Habra and they were not thrilled with what they saw.

A social worker liaison tells RadarOnline.com exclusively that Nadya's new house needs the following work before her babies come home:

*All lighting moved up onto the ceiling. No lamps or cords on the floor.
*Fireplace needs safety guards
*Stairs need to be re-built.
*Upstairs banister on stairs raised to enclose entire 2nd floor.
*Hypo-allergenic air filters installed
*Bunk beds can not be next to window in upstairs bedrooms.
*Blinds need to be cordless
*Storage cabinets installed

The social workers were very surprised and disappointed Nadya didn't show up for the inspection.

She should have showed up for the inspection, but I think some of their needs are not really needed. Blinds need to be cordless? All lighting moved to ceiling? Seems a bit extreme to me.

ET was first on the set of Robert Downey Jr.'s action-packed re-imagining of 'Sherlock Holmes,' and they got a sneak peek!

"It's pretty badass," Robert told Thea Andrews, joking, "1891 Victorian England was a petty gnarly place -- I like that I actually got the word gnarly in a Victorian description."

Robert's version of Holmes is a whole lot more tough and sexy than you've ever seen before, but Robert says his take on the character was already there in print.

    Celebrity weekend roundup

    What!? Why would Heidi Klum offer to take in Britney Spears? That just seems so bizarre to me. Though everything surrounding Brit is bizarre, but even so I'm surprised. I wonder if she really meant it. Ima gonna have to dig deeper on that story.

    In other entertainment news...

    The movie "Jumper" did well this first weekend of being in the theaters. Hayden Christensen plays a young man who discovers that he has a genetic abnormality that allows him to teleport or "jump" anywhere in the world, but he also finds out that there is a war to annihilate "jumpers" like him. Also starring the cutie Rachel Bilson (who is reportedly dating Hayden), Samuel Jackson and Diane Lane.

    Dog loving fool Paris Hilton turned 27 years old today. Wahoo. Blah.

    Rumors are circulating that Minnie Driver might be pregnant. Driver is dating a man named Matthew who lives in England, but that's all I have been able to dig up.

    Prince and the Village People plan to sue a Swedish website for allowing users to download their songs without permission. However, attorneys representing the music acts admit securing the lawsuit is proving difficult because they cannot identify the culprits. Lol. Shouldn't they just be happy that people still want to listen to their music. Hehe.

    And there is some trash going around about Dinner: Impossible chef, Robert Irvine. The gossip states he has lied about most of his credentials as a chef before being on the Food Network. I don't know what is true, but I do like watching his show and it does seem he has a lot of experience. If he owes people money then he needs to pay up though, I can't stand moochers. It's also being reported that he lied about his college degree, his being a "knight" in England and his having been a full-time chef at the White House. Oh tis a great shame when people fib.
