Playboy's Hugh Hefner got a surprise from his estranged wife Kimberly Conrad. She is suing Hefner for $5 million. The couple who got married back in 1989 have been separated for over 10 years, but have never divorced. (If you remember this is one of the reasons why his former girlfriend Holly Madison left because she would never be able to get married to him). Apparently they had a prenup before getting hitched, but they both signed an amendment to the prenup stating that Kimberly would get a hefty amount of money. For the past 10 years Conrad has been living in the house next to the mansion with the couple's two sons. Hefner just recently told her that she has 9 months to move out because he is selling the home and he is not honoring the prenup agreement anymore. Kimberly is claiming that Hef owes her $5million now. Hefner made a statement saying that he has not seen the lawsuit by Conrad yet, but can say that he fulfilled his obligations to Kimberly beyond what the agreement stated. He added, "I am quite confident that when all the facts are known it will become clear that all of my financial obligations throughout the marriage have been generously dealt with." I wonder what the reason is that Hef is selling the home? Could he experiencing some financial trouble?

According to *Lindsay Lohan*'s manager/ mom Dina, Lindsay's house was burgarlarized. She told TMZ, "The safe was ripped out of the wall, and the door was off the hinges and door handles removed. Bags, shoes and jewelry were taken too. Thank God she wasn't home." Dina added that Lindsay had plans to move even before this happened to the home. Dina also told PEOPLE that Lindsay, who is filming a new movie with Robert DeNiro, "is okay, but upset." The police has confirmed that they are investigating a possible burglary and no arrests have been made. Michael Lohan, her dad, is claiming that this is an inside job as the people who work for Lindsay did not turn the alarm on. Lindsay's same home also has an attempted break in last May in which the suspects were seen on the surveillance camera trying to get in the home.

The Girls Next Door star Kendra Wilkinson is now a married woman. Kendra married her fiancé, professional football player, Hank Baskett on June 27 at the Playboy mansion. Among the 500 guests that attended the wedding were Kendra's former co-stars Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt as well as her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner. Kendra was decked out diamonds for her wedding as she wore more than $100,000 worth of jewelry on the big day. She donned a pair of 4.25-carat platinum drop earrings, a 2.5-carat platinum pendant, and a 4.5-carat bracelet. Holly said that Kendra looked like a "princess" and was "absolutely beautiful." Hank and Kendra were engaged last fall after he proposed to her at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. The couple also announced earlier this month that they are expecting a baby together on Christmas day.

Hunky actor Bradley Cooper is denying that he has a romantic relationship with Jennifer Aniston. The two were seen enjoying dinner together and flirting at a party, but Cooper, who starred in the movie The Hangover, says, "she's a friend of mine. Simply, simply, just a friend." He added, "She's someone who is super, super known. Famous. If someone says 'hello' to her, it's given that he's fallen in love with her. So, no. No. She's a very, very interesting woman, but she's simply a friend." Aniston and Cooper were both in the movie He's Just Not That Into You, but did not have any scenes together.

In other Hollywood relationship news, it appears that Vanessa Minnillo did not wait long after breaking up with Nick Lachey to move on. The former MTV VJ was seen luring Spider Man 3 star Topher Grace into her clutches. The two were seen at a private party dancing and kissing and then left the party together. Nick Lachey, who was formerly married to Jessica Simpson, and Vanessa Minnillo only announced their break up earlier this month.

The new season of Dancing With the Stars has not even started yet and already two contestants are off the show. Singer Jewel and entertainment anchor Nancy O'Dell have both withdrawn from the show. Both of them are suffering from serious injuries that prevent them from being able to dance anymore for the show. Jewel was diagnosed with a fractured tibia in both legs, while Nancy O'Dell has a torn meniscus. It has been rumored that Girls Next Door reality star Holly Madison will be taking one of the spots on Dancing With the Stars. Actually, Holly's friend and former roommate, Bridget Marquardt, let it slip that Holly will be doing the show. Marquardt told Fox News during an interview, "I'm so excited for her. She's wanted to do it for so long. It just never worked with her schedule and Hef was always like 'I don't want you to do that,' and now it's her time, so I'm really happy for her." ABC will officially announce the lineup replacements on the premier show of Dancing With the Stars.

Singer Amy Winehouse has officially been charged with assault. The charge stems from last fall when she allegedly hit a fan at a charity ball. According to Amy's spokesperson, "Amy voluntarily attended a police station in London," upon which she was formally arrested and charged. "She was questioned by appointment in relation to an accusation made after the Berkeley ball last year." A dancer is alleging that Winehouse hit her in the eye after asking the singer to take her picture at the ball. Amy is due back in court on March 17.

Supermodel Nikki Taylor and her husband welcomed a little girl last week. Ciel Taylor Lamar was born on March 4. Nikki already has twin teenage boys from her previous marriage. This is the first child that Nikki and her husband, NASCAR driver Burney Lamar, have together.

Girls Next Door reality star, Holly Madison has broken up with her boyfriend, magician Criss Angel. The couple started dating quickly after Madison broke up with her longtime boyfriend and Playboy owner, Hugh Hefner last fall. Sources claim that she rushed into the relationship with Angel and was never completely over Hefner and how things went down. According to the source, Holly felt that her relationship with Criss Angel was not like she thought it was going to be. Maybe she should actually try dating a half-way decent looking guy next time.

Singer Jewel may be cut from Dancing With the Stars before the show even airs. She writes on her blog that she has tendonitis in her knee and may be forced to drop out of the show because of it. She also says that the doctor told her to not dance for the next couple of days while she takes medicine to get the swelling down. She is hoping that the medicine works and she can get back to dancing and having fun. I wonder who they will replace Jewel with, if she can't dance? They would most likely have to get someone who is not that popular, because the show starts soon and that would be very short notice.

Lindsay Lohan may be getting a new job and a new home soon. Fox News is reporting that Warren Beatty is offering Lindsay a role in his new movie, as long as she moves into one of his guest houses on his property. This way he can know that she is focused on the film and not on anything else. Lindsay has had problems on the sets of movies before, showing up late or being difficult to work with. Lindsay has not made a decision yet. So, Lindsay would be the dumbest person ever if she did not accept a role in a film by legendary Warren Beatty. My question is: why would he want Lindsay in the movie?

What a nice girlfriend Jessica Biel is. She threw her boyfriend, Justin Timberlake a surprise birthday party. The party was a Super Bowl themed party held at the Roosevelt Hotel's exclusive penthouse suite. A source says that Justin had no idea on what was going on and was absolutely surprised. There were approximately 100 party guests, which included close friends and family. I guess he has a lot of close friends and family. It must be nice to throw such a lavish party for your boyfriend. I think that Justin and Jessica are the young couple's version of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. They both are rich and beautiful.

The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, Holly Madison, has quit her editor job at Playboy. Madison wrote on her MySpace page that she "quit for several reasons." She went on to say, "It got to be routine, which was sad for me, since I was initially so passionate about the job and the creative aspects involved." She also stated that working with her ex was "awkward." Holly has now moved to Las Vegas to be with her boyfriend Criss Angel and also said the job at Playboy didn't pay that much to commute to Los Angeles all the time. I can't see that a Playboy editor wouldn't be a high paying job. I don't blame Holly for not wanting to work for Hefner anymore, but I think the awkward reason is the real reason why she quit.

Carrie Ann Inaba, who is one of the judges on Dancing With the Stars, has broken up with her boyfriend of two years, Artem Chigvintsev. The breakup actually quietly took place back in November of last year. The couple met when Artem was a contestant on the other dancing show, So You Think You Can Dance. Carrie Ann is 15 years older than Artem. I wonder what this cougar's next prey will be.

Actress Jennifer Garner and actor Ben Affleck have welcomed another little girl into their family. According to People.com, Jennifer gave birth to a baby girl on January 6 in Los Angeles. The couple already has a daughter, 3-year-old Violet. No other details are available as of now about the baby girl except that she is "healthy." Jennifer and Ben are a pretty private couple, and I'm guessing that they will be keeping quiet about the birth of their child for a little bit. Congratulations and best of luck to this family.

The last of the Girls Next Door has moved out of the playboy Mansion. Bridget Marquardt has officially moved out of the Playboy Mansion, following in the footsteps of Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson. Bridget says that she has moved out because, "It's just a good time for me to become my own person." She does not have an official new home right now as she is traveling around for her new show on the Travel Channel called Bridget's Sexiest Beaches. So, you knew this was only a matter of time before she moved out also. I wonder how much money she got for her "contract" with Hefner. It's funny that all three of the girls moved out of the mansion within months of each other. Coincidence or was their contract for being Hefner's girlfriends just up?

The tests results are back on Charles Barkley, and yes, he was legally drunk when he was pulled over for suspicion of DUI on December 31. His blood alcohol level was .149, almost twice the legal limit allowed in Arizona. I wonder if his "celebrity status" in Arizona will get him out of jail time. I say let him sit in jail for some time, but of course, he would probably just use the experience to make more money by writing a book about it or something.

Want to get a body like actress Kate Winslet's? Well, apparently you don't have to live at the gym. Winslet tells UK Elle magazine that she does "Pilates workout DVDs for 20 minutes or more every day at home." She also goes on to say that she doesn't "believe in this craziness for being skinny, but I eat sensibly and I don't stuff down chocolate biscuits." So, to get a size six figure like Kate's, all you have to do is work out for 20 minutes a day and eat sensibly. Don't we really wish that is all it took?

Could another former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner be getting ready to walk down the aisle? According to E!, Holly Madison and boyfriend Criss Angel were seen at Berger & Son Fine Jewelers in Las Vegas this past week. They were seen looking at rings at the store, but according to a rep for Madison, Criss did give Holly a ring. The trip was only for her birthday and did not result in an engagement ring. Holly has made it quite clear when she was with Hefner that she wanted to get married and have a family while she was still young. Well, Holly just turned 29 and she may not want to be single and unmarried for her 30th birthday.

Another member of the Spears family has gotten married. Britney's brother, Bryan got married on New Year's Eve to Graciella Sanchez, who is his little sister Jamie Lynn's manager. Only close family and friends attended the New Orleans wedding. According to a source, the couple has known each other for quite some time, and Sanchez is "already a trusted friend of the family." I wonder how long this marriage will last. Maybe Bryan will be different from his sister and actually stay married.

American Idol's Simon Cowell has ended his six-year relationship with his girlfriend, Terri Seymour. A rep for Cowell confirmed that the couple broke up, and that it was actually Terri's idea and not Simon's. His rep also added, "It was something that was coming, so it wasn't a shock or a surprise." Cowell has mentioned in the past that he will never settle down and have a family. In my opinion, this is why the couple broke up. Seymour is only 34 and most likely wants to get married and maybe even have children. My question is though, why would she waste six years with Cowell? Did she think that she could change him? Maybe.

It appears that Hugh Hefner's exes are finally moving out of the Playboy mansion. Bridget Marquardt stated to US Magazine that Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson are indeed moving out of the Playboy Mansion for good. Bridget also mentioned that she doesn't know how long she will be there. It also appears that ex-girlfriend Holly Madison did not take long to move on from Hefner. She was spotted getting pretty cozy with magician Criss Angel at a club in Las Vegas. I guess Criss Angel is at least one step up from Hefner.

In pretty shocking celebrity news, actor Joaquin Phoenix has announced that he is retiring from movie acting. He is going to pursue his music instead. He has been working on a record with British band The Charlatans. Phoenix has been nominated for two Oscars in his career and has starred in several top box office hits, such as Walk the Line and Gladiator. Walk the Line was actually the movie in which Phoenix learned how to play the guitar to impersonate Johnny Cash and first got interested in playing music. I personally loved Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash, but I'm not so sure that I would like him as a musician. I guess we will have to wait and see what his music is like. Of course, look at how many other professional athletes and actors have come out of retirement when a second career hasn't worked out for them. Somehow, I don't think this will be the last that we see of Phoenix as an actor.

What a shocker. Hugh Hefner and girlfriend Holly Madison have broken up. Did you really think that this relationship would last forever? Well, apparently Hefner did. He told US Magazine, "I had planned to spend the rest of my life with Holly." Holly has always made it known that she wanted children and wanted to get married. Hefner stated that they tried to have children earlier this year, but it did not work out and that Holly became "very depressed." Holly stated that she is still living in the Playboy Mansion filming the 6th season of Girls Next Door along with the other girls, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson. It was rumored before that Bridget and Kendra are also no longer with Hefner. I wonder what other 3 or 4 girls he is going to get for girlfriends now?

Another celebrity couple that has called it quits is Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift. Jonas, who is a member of the band the Jonas Brothers, and Swift, who is a country singer, dated for several months before breaking up earlier this month. An inside source said that Jonas "broke her heart." It has also been rumored that Jonas broke up with Swift over the telephone. The couple never confirmed their relationship to the public but was seen at several appearances together and out on several dates on the town.

Britney Spears was involved in another accident on Wednesday. Thankfully it was just a fender bender, and no one was injured. Britney was not driving the car. One of her bodyguards was driving her SUV when a paparazzi car cut them off, which caused another car to hit them from behind. Britney is currently involved in a court case for her driving without a license. She is set to appear in court next week and has already turned down a plea bargain. It's a good thing that Britney wasn't driving during this accident. That wouldn't have looked good at her case even though it appears it was the other driver's fault.
