The supermodel who has it all has decided to take on one more thing - her husband Seal's last name. Nearly four years after they wed, Heidi Klum has filed a petition to changer her last name from Klum to Samuel (Seal's official last name). It's a good thing tradition only calls for taking the last name - *Seal*'s full name is Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adeola Samuel! Klum, 36, is due with her fourth child, a girl, later this month. Including the new arrival, she and Seal have three children. Seal, 46, is also the adoptive father of her daughter Leni, age 5.

It's always good when you can laugh at yourself - or, at least, let other people do it for you. Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are allegedly okay with the fact that "Wishful Drinking" - a Broadway play starring Carrie Fisher - closely mimics their own contentious split. Fisher claims the play is actually autobiographical, and was written about her father's split with her mother, Debbie Reynolds, for Elizabeth Taylor. However, when Fisher realized how closely it resembled Pitt and Aniston's situation, she was sure to check with Pitt to make sure he wouldn't be offended.

The Jon & Kate Plus 8 train gets further and further off track every day and this week is no exception. It's been a busy one - Jon was fired by TLC from Jon & Kate Plus 8 due to his womanizing and erratic behavior in recent weeks. He immediately initiated legal action to stop filming of the show at the family home until the matter could go to Court. Jon, who has previously said the show was not harmful to the kids, decided that it was harmful as soon as he was cut out. According to Kate, who appeared distraught in a television appearance, he then withdrew all but $1,000.00 from their joint account of $231,000.00 - leaving her without enough money to pay the bills. She also said the children screamed and cried when she told them the show would not be filming anymore. Apparently, Jon Gosselin hasn't much forethought. Without the show, he has eight children to support and no job.

Apparently Heidi Klum finally wants to have the same last name as her husband and 3 of her 4 kids. She filed name change documents with the L.A. County Superior Court to have her last name officially changed to Samuel, which is the last name of her husband Seal Henry Olusegun Olumide Adelo Samuel. The name change will not be official until a judge signs off on it sometime in November. So, will she still go by Heidi Klum as a professional name or will she change everything to Heidi Samuel?

I don't know one woman who would like the fact that their husband cheated on them with their leading lady and then the leading lady proceeded to move into her life. Well, that is what seems to be happening to Brandi Glanville who is the soon-to-be ex-wife of actor Eddie Cibrian. Cibrian and LeAnn Rimes first started their affair when they were both married and filming a Lifetime movie together. Cibrian filed for divorce in August and has been seen a lot with Rimes, who has since separated from her husband. According to Brandi though, LeAnn is getting a little too close for comfort. She told UsMagazine.com, "I have a new neighbor and her name is LeAnn Rimes. She's moved in a half a mile from my house and a block from my son's school. So she is completely space invading me at the moment so things are not cool." She added that her run-ins with the country singer/actress are "not pleasant." She also went on to say, "Honestly, she's Single White Female-ing me. She wants my life. She wants my kids. She wants my husband. She can have most of everything but just not my children or my family." Brandi says that her and Eddie play nice in front of their children as "they're the most important thing in both of our lives." If this is true, then this is definitely a little freaky for LeAnn Rimes to be doing this. I mean she split up their marriage, isn't that enough?

It's going to take a lot for anybody to top the party that American Idol's Simon Cowell had for his 50th birthday. The party was held at Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire, England and had about 400 guests who showed up to celebrate. The party had tons of celebrities and even featured prerecorded birthday wishes from people like Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Aniston that played on a giant projection screen. Some of the celebrities that made an appearance were Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Gordon Ramsay, and of course his American Idol co-stars Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson and former co-star Paula Abdul. One person that did snub Simon Cowell was Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent. Reportedly she was too busy with her family to attend the party. It has been reported that the birthday party cost more than $2 million total.

Could Beyonce soon be getting a little stepbrother or sister? A woman named Alexsandra Wright is claiming that she is 6 months pregnant with Matthew Knowles (Beyonce's dad) baby. She has even gone as far as to file a paternity case against Knowles in the L.A. County Superior court system. Matthew has been married to Tina Knowles (Beyonce's mom) since 1980. Could this ruin the Knowles family or is this just a ploy for money from the woman? If she went as far as to file a case against him, you have to believe that she really thinks that this is the future step sibling of Beyonce.

Is actor Nicolas Cage hurting for money? It would appear that way. The actor is being sued for $2 million by East West Bank for a line of credit that they gave Nic back in 2007. The bank is claiming that he agreed to pay $11,590 per month and his last payment was from April of this year. The bank is now calling for the full balance of the loan to be paid now. There has been no word from Nicolas Cage on this lawsuit, but you have to wonder what he did with all his money. I have to imagine that he is still making money off movies like Con Air and National Treasure and imdb.com has over 60 movies listed that he has participated in. So, why the loan for $2 million in the first place and why can't he pay it off?

When Emma Watson started college in the U.S., all she wanted was to be a normal college student. Unfortunately for the Harry Potter starlet, many of her fellow Harvard students aren't willing to let that happen. Watson, a freshman at the prestigious university, attempted to blend in at a school football game. A Harvard student magazine refused to leave Emma be, claiming beforehand that they would be "possibly stalking" her during the game. Students from the magazine then proceeded to, well, stalk Watson, posting Twitter updates throughout the game as to her whereabouts and doings. According to The New York Post, Watson was left "quite shaken" by the incidents. So much for blending in!

Funnyman Will Ferrell is set to become a father - again! Ferrell and his wife, Viveca Paulin, are expecting a baby boy in January 2010. The new boy will join the couple's two other sons, Magnus, 5, and Mattias, 2.

The Travolta extortion trial is well under way in the Bahamas, with Travolta fighting back against a local paramedic and attorney who he claims threatened to imply he was responsible for his son Jett's death if not paid $25 million dollars. According to recent testimony by Travolta, a consent document which Travolta signed upon the paramedic's arrival was at the heart of the issue. The two accused allegedly threatened to sell information to the media, inferring that Travolta intended his son to die or was in some other way culpable. The trial continues.

Elizabeth Smart, 21, is finally set to testify against Brian David Mitchell, the man who allegedly abducted her from her bedroom and held her captive for months as a "plural wife." Much to Elizabeth and her family's frustration, the case has dragged on for years, with Brian David Mitchell's competency being the main issue. Mitchell has done his best to make things difficult, interrupting previous competency hearings by humming or singing religious tunes. Smart and her family are ready to see justice served, even though Elizabeth may be questioned for several hours by federal prosecutors and defense attorneys. "Whatever happens," says her father, Ed Smart, "Elizabeth is prepared."

It appears that it was just another normal week of celebrity relationships in Hollywood as there were a few divorces announced that were balanced out with a few marriages and reconciliations.

Actress *Emmy Rossum*'s husband Justin Siegel filed papers for divorce after only being married for a year and half. He cites irreconcilable differences and is also asking for spousal support. A source states that the couple has been separated since August. Emmy has been linked with Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz as the two of them were seen kissing over Labor Day weekend. Not many people even knew that Emmy Rossum was married, but yet another Hollywood marriage is ending in divorce.

If you think that only being married for a year and half and then divorcing, then try three months. Musician Fred Durst and his wife Esther Nazarov have decided to split after only being married for three months. The couple just got hitched in Las Vegas back in July. Durst took to his Twitter page once again to announce his relationship news, this time though it was not happy news. He wrote, "For those of you inquiring I will confirm that Esther and I have decided to go our separate ways and we both thank you for your support." What can happen in three months that drives a couple to divorce already?

There were, however, some happy celebrity couples this past week. Reality star Khloe Kardashian married her boyfriend of one month, Lakers player Lamar Odom this past weekend. The wedding ceremony took place at the home of music manager Irving Azoff, who is a family friend. This is the first marriage for both of them, but Lamar does have two children from a previous relationship. Not to be negative but most of the celebrity marriages that take place after only knowing each other for a month usually don't last very long. Here's hoping that they beat out Fred Durst's record for the shortest marriage. As for Khloe's sister Kim, apparently she has reunited with her ex Reggie Bush and the two are dating once again. The couple had been dating for two years prior to taking a break this summer. Could Kim just be jealous that her one sister just got married and the other is going to be a mommy?

Lastly, according to an inside source, actress Claire Danes and actor Hugh Dancy are married. Apparently the couple got married in a quiet ceremony in France a few weeks ago. The couple revealed that they were engaged in February. No official comment has been made by the couple's rep as of yet.

Get out all the pink baby clothing as baby girls are taking over Hollywood. Actress Ellen Pompeo gave birth to a daughter, Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery, on September 15 in Los Angeles. This is the first child for the Grey's Anatomy star and her husband Chris Ivery. The couple has been married since 2007 and announced the pregnancy back in April.

Another celebrity couple that welcomed a daughter this past week was Sarah Michelle Prinze (Gellar) and Freddie Prinze Jr. A rep for the actress, announced the couple "welcomed their daughter Charlotte Grace Prinze on Saturday, Sept. 19." This is the couple's first child who also announced that they were expecting in April of this year.

Yet another celebrity that welcomed a daughter is Jude Law. Although his situation is much different than the previous couples, he does now have another daughter. Samantha Burke, who had a brief fling with the actor and consequently got pregnant from that fling, gave birth to a girl on September 22nd. Sophia weighed in at 5lbs 12oz and a rep for the aspiring actress says that she is "overwhelmed with joy." Jude has acknowledged that he will take responsibility for the baby. This is his fourth child as he 3 kids with his ex Sadie Frost.

One Hollywood couple that does have kids together but are not very happy right now is Kelly Rutherford and Daniel Giersch. The Gossip Girl actress has filed a temporary restraining order against her soon to be ex-husband stating that "has begun to follow me, my mother and my nanny and he shows up unexpectedly to threaten and scare us." A lawyer for Giersch says that these are "fabricated accusations." The couple has been fighting over custody of their two children Hermes, 2, and Helena, 3 months, since the beginning of the year. Their next court date is set for October 15. Hopefully for their childrens' sake, this gets worked out soon and they can get along.

The three Jonas brothers have never been one to fall in with convention and, apparently, eldest brother Kevin's upcoming marriage hasn't changed that. Kevin, who, along with his brothers, have been widely known for their commitment to abstinence, has already chosen a best man. That is, best men. Both of his bandmates, brothers Nick and Joe, will be acting as his best men; his bride-to-be, Danielle Deleasa, will have two maids-of-honor to match. The younger brothers are already planning Kevin's bachelor's party, which they say will be "good, clean fun."

While some celebrities are celebrating, others are not. Jessica Simpson was dealt a hard blow last week when her beloved dog, Daisy, was snatched away by a coyote in front of her eyes. Although she held out hope of finding the dog and even offered a reward, no sign of the dog has been found. This horrible incident follows on the heels of a very difficult year, in which Jessica has dealt with criticism about her weight, survived an earthquake in Japan and been dumped by longtime beau and football player Tony Romo. Hopefully, 2010 will be kinder to the singer.

And in other celebrity news, baby makes three! Actress Sarah Michelle Prinze (formerly Gellar) and her husband, Freddie Prinze, Jr., recently welcomed a new addition to their family. Gellar gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Charlotte Grace. The couple have been married for several years. The actress is best known for her role as Buffy in the former hit series Buffy The Vampire Slayer.

The guy who was arrested for the break-ins of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge's homes may just have a personal connection to Lindsay Lohan. Nick Prugo, who is only 18, has been charged with burglary of both Lohan's and Patridge's home, but the story doesn't end there. Apparently some of her co-workers from her movie Labor Pains, which was filmed last year, have said that Lindsay and Nick were spotted together on the set several times. Prugo was charged with cocaine possession last year and was placed in a drug rehab program. He was also charged with a DUI last month. Could Lindsay and Nick really have been friends? Is this a friendship or drug relationship gone wrong? I'm sure the more time goes on, more of the truth will come out.

Could newlywed Alyssa Milano soon be expanding her family? Alyssa and David Bugliari, an agent, were married on August 15th in David's home state of New Jersey. The actress told Usmagazine.com that married life so far is "blissful" and "doesn't really feel any different yet." She also went on to reveal that although they have no real plans for children quite yet, she did say, "I think we are just going to go with the flow. So we'll see what happens. But I am getting older. Gotta get on it!" So, we may just be seeing the actress sporting maternity clothes sooner than you think.

Could there be a new celebrity couple on the horizon? Jason Segal from How I Met Your Mother was seen locking lips with Big Love actress Chloe Sevigny at the HBO Emmy party. They were apparently in a corner making out and only stopped when they noticed that people were looking at them. The couple left the party together but it is not known if they kept their own party going with the same ride home or parted ways after leaving the building. Could it have been the thrill of the Emmys, the alcohol that was flowing or are they really going to be a new Hollywood couple?

After several months of rumors of a separation between singer Avril Lavigne and musician Deryck Whibley it appears that the rumors were in fact true. Avril took to her blog to let everyone know that she and her husband Deryck are separating. After writing some things about how she "admires" him and still loves him with all her heart, she writes, "Deryck and I are separating and moving forward on a positive note." Unfortunately, it also appears that Avril is making up the "positive note" part. According to an inside source, "she dumped him and told him she was leaving him." The sourced added, "divorce papers will be filed any day now," and that Whibley is "crushed." Avril had been seen just a few weeks ago enjoying time on the beach with other guys and her husband was nowhere in sight. The couple married young as she was only 21 when they got married and was 19 when they started dating. It appears this is another Hollywood (or wannabe Hollywood) marriage gone horribly wrong.

Kate Gosselin from Jon and Kate Plus 8, may be losing a husband but may be gaining an awesome job as a talk show host. According to Radar online, the reality star is said to be teaming up with Food Network star Paula Deen for a talk show that is completely focused on moms. The proposed show has a mixture of beauty, health, and parenting tips mixed in with some celebrity gossip. Apparently they are now looking for other women for the show to talk to and they want all the women to be moms. A few months back Kate had told Entertainment Weekly, "There are no mom-centered talk shows. I think that would be a very comfortable thing for me." A rep for Telepictures would not deny nor confirm that the show was currently in the works. Kate has said that she would do anything to provide for her 8 kids, well apparently that means being a talk show host. Really, how hard could that really be and does this mean she will be moving from their million dollar home as well?

Tom Brady has finally confirmed what the entire world has known for the past month or two. His wife, model Gisele Bundchen is pregnant and the baby is expected to arrive sometime in December. In an interview that the NFL star did for ESPN's SportsCenter, he joked that he "told her no Sundays," when it came time to give birth to the baby. He also jokingly said, "It couldn't be harder than training camp, so I'll be prepared." The latest pictures of Bundchen definitely showed a growing baby bump so it was no surprise that the couple would have to confirm the baby news sooner or later. This will be the first child for Gisele and the second for Tom Brady. Tom has a 2-year-old son with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan.

Another daddy-to-be that has confirmed another child on the way is actor Colin Farrell. The actor confirmed that he and his girlfriend Alicja Bachleda are expecting their first child together. The couple started dating earlier this year. This will be the second child for Farrell as he has a 5-year-old son with model Kim Bordenave.

Apparently *Megan Fox*'s coworkers are not that happy with her and what comes out of her mouth. Recently Fox compared the Transformers director Michael Bay to Adolph Hitler and three anonymous film crew workers from Transformers had something to say about it. On the movie's website, the crew members wrote an open letter to the fans calling Megan Fox "thankless, classless, and graceless." These crew members have worked with Bay for the past ten years and wanted to "set a few things straight." They went on to call Fox, "dumb-as-a-rock," and "ungracious." The later part of the letter mocked the comparison between Fox and Angelina Jolie stating that they have worked with Angelina before and Megan is nowhere near being Jolie. The letter ended with "Hopefully Michael will have Megatron squish her character in the first ten minutes of Transformers 3." The writing has since been removed from the website but Bay took to his own website and said that he "doesn't condone the crew letter to Megan." He added that he still looks forward to working with Megan Fox on the next Transformers and expects even more outlandish quotes from her. So, is this simply fame gone to her head or is she that oblivious that you don't go talking about people that way?

Not only did singer Christina Milian get a new husband this month, but she is also going to be getting another new addition to her family as well. US magazine has confirmed that the singer is pregnant with her first child. She and rapper The Dream just married on September 4 and now they are expecting their first child together next year. The couple got engaged two years ago and was already planning on getting married when they found out that Christina was pregnant. A source told US, "The pregnancy was a surprise, but they were getting married regardless." The couple both have said in interviews that they would love to have children someday.

In other celebrity baby news, Grey's Anatomy actress Katherine Heigl and her husband singer Josh Kelley are adopting a 10-month-old girl from Korea who they have named Naleigh. The actress who wed in December 2007 told USA Today, "I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. It doesn't seem like any fun. I don't think it's necessary to go through all of that." Heigl also revealed what the name of her daughter means on The Ellen DeGeneres show saying, "I am naming her after my mother and sister Nancy, Leigh," she said. "So we call her Naleigh." Heigl will be taking a 5 episode break from Grey's Anatomy to film her movie Life As We Know It.

One celebrity that doesn't have any baby news is Penelope Cruz. There have been rumors circulating around for the past few months that the actress was expecting a child with her boyfriend Javier Bardem. The actress has now confirmed at the Toronto Film Festival that she is not pregnant. She told USA Today, "I start getting some presents from friends saying, 'Congratulations, you're pregnant.' And I say, 'No, I'm not, so return the presents. It's amazing." The star was also seen smoking cigarettes with her friend and actress Salma Hayek, which hopefully is another clue that she is not pregnant. It appears that anytime a celebrity gains 2 pounds or wears an unflattering dress she automatically is pregnant!

Sad news for fans of Jim on NBC's hit series The Office - John Krasinkski, the actor who plays Jim on the show, is now officially taken. Krasinski, 29, recently got engaged to actress Emily Blunt, 26. The pair have been dating since November 2008. John Krasinski may have been inspired by his character Jim, who is planning a wedding with co-worker Pam Beasley on The Office.

Another hit for TV, one that has fans of HBO's in an uproar, is True Blood. Many fans of the show were shocked to learn that actress Evan Rachel Wood was cast as vampire queen Sophie-Anne, especially considering the negative public opinion of her after her affair with Marilyn Manson during his marriage to Dita Von Teese. Now, fans have one more reason to hate the actress. Alexander Skarsgaard, the sexy Swede who plays yummy vampire sheriff Eric, has been spotted off-set spending a lot of leisure time with Evan Rachel Wood. Oh, Eric, you don't know what you're doing! Has he not seen the video where she's making out with Marilyn Manson (yech!) while it rains blood on them (double yech!)? The directors of True Blood may be thinking twice about their decision to cast Wood in the role. If Alexander Skarsgaard keeps this up, it could seriously damage his enormous fan base!

Father of eight and serial dater Jon Gosselin is gunning for sympathy in his latest interview with "Good Morning America," the first TV interview he has granted since divorce papers were filed early this summer. Jon Gosselin hurls accusations at his estranged wife Kate in the interview, claiming he despises her, she verbally abused him and that she stole his wedding ring. It's a far cry from an interview he gave a couple of weeks ago in which he claimed to still love her. One can only hope that TLC will cancel Jon and Kate Plus 8 soon and put an end to the madness.

Wouldn't you love to be a celebrity and be able to gain 30 pounds for a role? Well, apparently that is the way that actor Matt Damon feels. He says that it was "very, very, easy to gain the weight," for his role in the new movie The Informant. He added 30 pounds to his weight by feasting on anything that he wanted and he didn't hit the gym for several months. The movie is based on a true story about a vice president of an agricultural company turning into an FBI informant. The only problem with gaining 30 pounds is that he had to lose them again. He did show up at the Venice Film Festival looking back to his normal svelte body.

Another celebrity who will also be looking forward to losing some weight is actress Marley Shelton, who gave birth to her first child on September 6. West Flynn (it's a girl) weighed in at 9lbs and was 21 inches long. Marley's husband Beau Flynn, released a statement saying, "She's an absolutely miraculous, gorgeous bundle of pure love," and that mother, father and baby are "doing great." The couple announced the pregnancy back in March. Shelton recently starred in the television series the Eleventh Hour and can be seen in the movie A Perfect Getaway. Congrats to Marley and Beau!

While speaking about weight, one celebrity who was able to lose the baby weight was Ashlee Simpson after the birth of her 10 month old son Bronx. She is currently filming scenes for the resurrected Melrose Place series and has been making her talk show rounds and spilling some secrets that are better left unsaid. Simpson told Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show that she "could do the splits when I was nine months pregnant." She added, "I could put my leg over my head still. I used to be a ballerina." Who else thinks that is just way too much information?

Apparently Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo couldn't stay away from each other for very long. The couple, who just recently broke up this summer, have already reunited and are back together. They had been together for three years, shortly after Nick divorced Jessica Simpson. The couple has been seen spotted at several places together and was spotted flying together at JFK airport. According to a close friend though, the couple is not back together officially and is just "hanging out."

In other Jessica Simpson exe news, her latest ex, Tony Romo is dating actor *Chace Crawford*'s little sister. Romo just broke up with Simpson in July on the day before her 29th birthday but seems to be completely fine with the whole thing. Some people are comparing Candice Crawford, 22, to Jessica, as a younger and skinnier version of the singer. According to an inside source, Candice, who was Miss Missouri 2008, was "not happy" that her and Tony's relationship got out to the public, but "they were not trying to hide it."

In other celebrity hookup news, it appears that Candice Crawford is not the only girl to snag herself an athlete. Reality star Khloe Kardashian is now dating Los Angeles Lakers forward Lamar Odom. Khloe's sister, Kim Kardashian told PEOPLE, "They're very, very happy." She added, "They've been together a few weeks, and are literally inseparable. Khloe thinks he's amazing and makes her laugh and smile constantly." The couple has been spotted out and about hitting the LA clubs this past week. It is also being said that Kim is back with her athlete man, NFL player Reggie Bush, after a short breakup.

Another celebrity who seems to have a new partner (although he is not an athlete) is Shia LaBeouf. The Transformers actor has been seen cuddling and kissing with his on screen co-star Carey Mulligan. The two are currently filming the sequel to Wall Street, called Money Never Sleeps in New York City. There has been no confirmation from a rep on the relationship, but from the pictures of them getting friendly off set, there seems to be more than just a professional relationship between the two of them.

For fans who fear the buzz over Michael Jackson will never stop, you may be right. Police have concluded that MJ's death was, indeed, a homicide. Jackson's official cause of death was allegedly an overdose of the powerful sedative Propofol administered by Dr. Conrad Murray to help him sleep. But Jackson received doses of several other drugs in the hours leading up to his death, including the anti-anxiety agents valium and lorazepam and the sedative midazolam. Charges have not yet been filed against Dr. Murray.

The public was shocked when 25-year-old Norwegian rapper Omer Bhatti appeared with the Jackson family at MJ's memorial and claimed to be his son. Although the Jackson family has seemed fairly accepting of their potential new member, another young man has emerged, also claiming he is Jackson's son. Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, 24, showed up in Los Angeles this week claiming he is Michael Jackson's biological son, and demanding a paternity test to prove it. Will any more alleged offspring come forward?

Celebrity DJ Adam Goldstein, better known as "DJ AM", was found dead in his Manhattan apartment on Friday, August 28th after failing to meet his travel companions for a flight. Goldstein, 36, became famous for both his DJ skills and his long-term relationship with Nicole Richie. Although a cause of death has yet to be officially established, police say a illegal substances and prescription medications were found in his apartment. Goldstein, who was upset over a recent failed relationship, had battled drug addiction in the past, but had claimed to be clean for more than 11 years.
