Zac Efron visted the Mattel Children's Hospital in Los Angeles yesterday afternoon, and the actor spent time with the young patients and helped deliver gifts.

Jim and Michelle Duggar clearly live by the philosophy "the more, the merrier!" Just in time for Christmas (what better time to spread this philosophy), the couple welcomed their 18th child. That's right. 18th!! The name of their reality show, 17 Kids & Counting, will have to be updated!

Jake Gyllenhaal looked quite lovey dovey with Reese Witherspoon as he celebrated his 28th birthday at Giorgio Baldi last night, but as soon as the duo made their way outside, it became clear that they didn't want their picture taken. So what's a celeb supercouple to do? Well, the restaurant owner came to their rescue by yelling and throwing eggs at the handful of photogs camped outside of the restaurant.

And Starpulse has some news on the drama regarding Mike Myer's "The Love Guru".

U.S. Hindu leader, is urging the public to boycott his latest comedy, just got personal after the actor told Rajan Zed to watch the film before damning his portrayal of an oddball spiritual guru.

Hindu leader Zed has been leading a protest against The Love Guru for months after learning Myers mocks his religion in the film.

He tells WENN, "It appears the film lampoons Hinduism and Hindus and uses Hindu terms frivolously."

My, oh my.

But Myers counters, "This guy has not seen the film. What he will find is that this is a mythical and completely made up system of teachings in the tradition of The Force in Star Wars and Fredonia in the Marx Brothers movies.

Another reason to love Ryan Phillippe is his recent statement regarding ex-wife Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. "He's a good dude. I love her and I want her to be happy, and it seems like she is." You can tel by that statement that he is still pained by their divorce, but I appreciate him making an effort to wish them well.

What is our old friend David Schwimmer up to these days since he is no longer playing Ross Gellar? Well he is directing a movie starring Thandie Newton and apparently, David had a blast testing the waters as a director for his first film. As for the movie's quirky title, he said, "We came up with five pages of titles. But when we read them to people the only one they smiled on was 'Run, Fat Boy, Run.'"

And apparently I'm not the only blogger with a birthday this weekend. Because the biggest celebrity blogger of them all, Perez Hilton, is turning 30 this weekend!

Oooh one more thing before we go. A quick excerpt from a recent interview between Kate Beckinsale and the folks at Moviefone.

6. You told an interviewer you'd rather eat a vagina than sushi. When stuff you say makes headlines, what's the reaction of your publicity team? I have to say, sushi freaks me out more than almost anything. At least a vagina would be warm. [laughs] My publicist has literally turned a funny color and is going to go have a lie-down. He's throwing up now, as well. I find a lot of things kind of funny and I often say what's on my mind, and then get nine texts from all my friends going, "What's the matter with you?" But I haven't ever made a big attempt to have any particular image. And I don't really worry about it.
