Kourtney Kardashian, who stars on the reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, is experiencing the joy of being pregnant for the first time and expecting a little boy in a few months. Her joy turned to anger and sadness as she learned that her home in Calabasas, California was burglarized. Someone made off with more than $100,000 worth of jewelry from her home. Some of the jewelry is vintage pieces that were given to her by her late father Robert Kardashian. Thankfully, the reality star was not home at the time the burglary took place. Her home is in a gated community and she and her boyfriend were only out to dinner when the incident happened. As of now, there are no suspects in the case and no further information is known.

After celebrating her sister-in-law's birthday, Stephanie Pratt was arrested on suspicion of DUI. The Hills star had just left *Heidi Pratt*'s (Montag) birthday party at Empire and was supposedly on her way home, when the cops pulled her over for suspicion of drunk driving. Stephanie was taken into custody and charged with a misdemeanor and then released by 10:30 am Sunday morning. Stephanie has said that she would like to leave The Hills after 10 episodes as she is getting tired of the drama on the show.

Every Halloween Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner throws a huge bash at the mansion filled with tons of scary and skimpy costumes as well as celebrities and professional athletes. This year, Hef has taken a new approach to the Halloween bash and has decided to raise money for Wounded Warrior Project which helps soldiers who have been wounded in war. The proceeds from the party will help wounded veterans who have recently served time in Iraq and Afghanistan. General admission to the party is $1,000 and VIP access will go up to $15,000. The director for the Halloween party said, "Halloween is the most sought-after night at the Mansion so it was a good opportunity to support our veterans and enjoy a great party at the same time." As well as raising money for the wounded soldiers, approximately 40 of them will get to attend the party for free.

Celebrity Gossip: Lindsay Lohan gets Robbed

Aug 31, 2009 by Tiffany B.

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.

Celebrity Gossip: Kendra Wilkinson Married and Vanessa Minnillo Moved On

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.

Celebrity Gossip: Break-Ups and Breakdowns

Mar 18, 2009 by Tiffany B.

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?

Celebrity Gossip: Couples in the News

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.

Celebrity Gossip: Hugh Hefner and His Girls

Actor Chad Lowe is going to be a daddy. Chad's girlfriend, Kim Painter, is pregnant with their first child. According to Lowe's rep, "The couple is overjoyed and could not be happier." The baby is due in early summer time. Congratulations to this couple, but really does anybody in Hollywood ever get married first and then have a baby?

Ashlee Simpson is coming to the defense of her sister. Lately there have been all kinds of comments going around tabloids and blogs about how much weight Jessica Simpson has gained. Well, Ashlee has spoken out against all the bad comments by expressing her opinion on her blog, "I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister's weight. Since when did a woman's weight become news worthy?" She goes on to say, "All women come in different shapes, sizes and forms and just because you're a celebrity, there shouldn't be a different standard." Good for Ashlee, and she is totally right. Even if Jessica Simpson did gain some weight, why do people have to make a big deal out of it? I think every woman battles with her weight and self-esteem and since Jessica is human, she has the same problems and insecurities as the girl next door.

Hugh Hefner is not wasting anytime racking up more girlfriends after the exit of Holly, Bridget and Kendra. Not only does he have the 19-year-old twin girlfriends, Karissa and Kristina Shannon, but he has added a third girlfriend into the mix. Crystal Harris is the newest girlfriend. She met Hefner at the 2008 Halloween party at the mansion. There was one point in the past were Hefner had 7 girlfriends. I wonder how much he is paying these girls to be his girlfriends.

Celebrity Gossip: The Girls Move Out, and Bennifer's New Baby

Jan 26, 2009 by Tiffany B.

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.

Celebrity Gossip: Kate's Diet, Madison Want's A Wedding, and Spears Got Hitched

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.

Celebrity Gossip: Weddings, Reunions, and Men Who Shave Their Armpits

Can you believe who is engaged already? Kendra Wilkinson. Yes, the former girlfriend of Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner is already engaged to be married. The really off thing is that the announcement was made by Hefner, and the wedding will be at the Playboy mansion next June. Kendra will be marrying the Philadelphia Eagles' wide receiver Hank Baskett. Also, Hefner made it known that he will be giving away Kendra at her wedding. Okay, so who else finds this completely odd? I think that the whole girlfriend of Hefner thing was a fake, and she was actually dating this guy while supposedly being Hefner's girlfriend. I mean what would a 20-something-year-old, pretty woman want with an old guy like Hefner. I think that Baskett is more Kendra's style.

Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake had a little reunion at the Madonna concert on November 6. Both of the singers performed songs with Madonna at her concert. The concert was held at L.A. Dodger's Stadium. Britney and Justin only briefly crossed paths at the sound check as they did not perform the same songs onstage with Madonna. Britney sang "Human Nature" with Madonna while Justin sang his duet "4 Minutes." Britney was actually really tame and looked rather put together in her black satin pants and white ruffle shirt. Maybe this is a start to a whole new Britney Spears.

Another little odd tidbit of celebrity gossip is that country singer Toby Keith has admitted to shaving his armpits. First of all, this is really too much information for me. Secondly, Toby Keith really doesn't come across as the metro-sexual type. Keith said that on hot summer nights while performing concerts he just gets so "hot and sweaty" that shaving helps cool him off. I actually know quite a few guys who aren't swimmers who do this. I guess it works for them. So, guy, if you want to be like rough country singer Toby Keith, shave your armpits!

Celebrity Gossip: Celebrity Breakups and Phoenix Wants to Walk the Line

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.

Celebrity Gossip: Breakups and Benders

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.
