Mariah With Child?

Mariah Carey was ready to tell Ellen Degeneres "Bye Bye" after the Daytime host allegedly cornered the star over pregnancy rumors.

According to sources, Ellen pretended to let the "Stay In Love" singer off the hook after she denied the pregnancy rumors only to offer the singer a glass of champagne.

"Let's just toast with champagne," Ellen offered.

According to sources at the taping, Mariah became flustered, insisting that 3 p.m. was too early for her to start drinking.

"I can't believe you did this to me, Ellen," laughed the Grammy winner, who married Nick Cannon in April.

"This is peer pressure!" she continued, trying to avoiding drinking the champagne.

"No, let's toast to you not being pregnant," Ellen insisted.

"Why would we toast to that?," Mariah replied. "How about to the future? For both of our futures, who knows what they hold."

According to E!, Mariah then pretended to sip the bubbly only to be caught by Ellen who said "You're pregnant."

In related news, Mariah Carey may be up for an Oscar for "Right To Dream," a cut from her upcoming film "Tennessee". Several outlets are speculating a first time nod for the singer who had a bad run of luck with "Glitter" in 2001.

Children should not be having children.

Say no to middle age pregnancy!!

How Much Is Beyonce's Ass Worth?

The collective bank account of Jay-Z and his wife Beyonce Knowles is bigger than any other celebrity couple in the entertainment industry, according to Forbes magazine's new list of Hollywood’s 20 Top-Earning Couples.


"BeyonJay" earned a total of $162 million between June 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008, which puts them on a perch overlooking second-place finishers Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, who pulled $85 million in the same time frame.

translation: Will pulled in $85 million and Jada got kickbacks.

David Beckham and his wife Victoria come in third with $58 million, followed by country music couple, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill with $35 million, and non-married couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, banking $34 million together.

Recount! Angelina's steeltrap thundercat is worth $1 billion per lip!

Clef Might Wanna 911 Mary J.

The nation's foreclosure crisis has arrived on the doorstep of Wyclef Jean's Miami property.


Miami-Dade County will auction off the house he was still building on Dec. 12 because the singer owes $2 million in mortgage payments.

"And it wasn't just the mortgage that wasn't paid -- court docs show there were plenty of people working on the house that haven't gotten paid either," reported TMZ.

Wyclef purchased the house through a company he set up with friends, according to the Web site. Foreclosure on the mansion reportedly began in March.

Usher a Baby Daddy Again

During an interview with Stevie Wonder on his morning radio show in Los Angeles, Usher announced the sex of his second child with wife Tameka Foster, as well as the baby's due date.


Doctors told the couple that they're having another boy, and he's due to arrive on Dec. 15, just in time for the holidays.


Usher told Access Hollywood that their new bundle of joy will be "one of the best Christmas gifts there is to have."

"There are a few names," he told Access. "But if you guys have any unique one, please feel free to hit me up. Let me know."

It was around this time last November when Usher and Tameka welcomed their first child together, Usher Raymond V. He turns one on Wednesday (Nov. 26).

Winona Was Probably Higher Than The Plane!

Remember back in the day when this t-shirt was the one to have?

We narrowly missed having to dig it back out!

Actress Winona Ryder was briefly hospitalized after falling ill on a flight to London’s Heathrow Airport Wednesday, her publicist said.

Mara Buxbaum said the 37-year-old was taken to a west London hospital Wednesday “as a precaution” and had since been released.

“She’s fine now,” Buxbaum said. She declined to go into details of Ryder’s illness.

She has mostly stayed out of the headlines after her 2002 conviction for stealing several thousand dollars worth of merchandise from a Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills.

Ryder had prescription drugs in her possession when she was arrested — but a drug charge was dropped after a doctor said he had prescribed the medication.


The rock star heauxz always get off.

(Crack) rock on, Winona!!

Dem's Fighting Words!

Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahri posted a video message on militant Web sites Wednesday in which he referred to President-elect Barack Obama as "abeed al-beit," which literally translates as "house slave."


The 11-minute 23-second video, al-Qaida's first response to Obama's victory, appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies.


Ayman al-Zawahri said in the message that Obama is "the direct opposite of honorable black Americans" like Malcolm X, and grouped the president-elect along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice into the category of "house slaves." But, al-Qaida supplied English subtitles of his speech included the translation as "house Negroes."

It's on like a pot of neckbones now!!!

Racism Rears Its Ugly Head

Well, we're not shocked:


Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.

Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.

From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders.

Grant Griffin, a 46-year-old white Georgia native, expressed similar sentiments: "I believe our nation is ruined and has been for several decades and the election of Obama is merely the culmination of the change.

"If you had real change it would involve all the members of (Obama's) church being deported," he said.

"Someone once said racism is like cancer," Ferris said. "It's never totally wiped out, it's in remission."


Good quote and it so fits here!

Don't Ask Don't Tell, Gurl!

More than 100 retired generals and admirals called Monday for repeal of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays so they can serve openly, according to a statement obtained by The Associated Press.

The move by the military veterans confronts the incoming administration of President-elect Barack Obama with a thorny political and cultural issue that dogged former President Bill Clinton early in his administration.

"As is the case with Great Britain, Israel, and other nations that allow gays and lesbians to serve openly, our service members are professionals who are able to work together effectively despite differences in race, gender, religion, and sexuality," the officers wrote.

It's about time. George Michael is ready to enter his barracks!

Because Bill Owes Hillary!

He already helped her lose the Presidency, so now he's gotta do something he knows a little about:

release


Former President Bill Clinton has offered several concessions to help Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, his wife, become secretary of state, people familiar with President-elect Barack Obama's transition vetting process said Wednesday.

Clinton has agreed to release the names of several major donors to his charitable foundation and will submit future foundation activities and paid speeches to a strict ethics review, said Democrats knowledgeable about the discussions.

They also said that Clinton would step away from day-to-day responsibility for his foundation while his wife serves and would alert the State Department any new sources of income and to his speechmaking. The Democrats spoke only on grounds of anonymity because of the private nature of the Cabinet-selection process.

Another Ewok is Back!

After being almost silent about her 'marriage' and subsequent 'divorce' for six years Brandy and her ex- Robert Smith have come forward to set the record straight about what really happened behind the scenes of the MTV series "Special Delivery" while also addressing recent dating rumors.

'...all the hoopla, the quote-unquote ‘marriage,’ whatever you want to call it...at the end of the day, we have a beautiful child, and I’m the happiest man on Earth. That’s really the logistics of it. No drama,' Smith tells Vibe in the upcoming December issue when asked about what Brandy called a 'spiritual union' and what Robert Smith called a strategic publicity move pulled off to protect Brandy's image.

So where are they now after the dust has settled and the camera's have moved on to Britney Spears, Beyonce and Mariah Carey ?

Brandy says there is "no drama," but her ex, producer Robert Smith, who is now married with three other children, puts it in perspective by telling the magazine: "We had a child. The relationship didn’t work out. The bottom line is the friendship. The common denominator is our daughter.... You can’t be so mad at somebody who gave you that kind of a gift."

As for those pesky dating rumors, as recent as this week, Brandy was rumored to dating Tyrese, the singer says she's not into dating right now.

"I’m not dating." "I've been single for three years."

"I’m so clingy with her my daughter, 6, she’s like, Mom, let me breathe."

She's probably like, "Mama, your breath staink!"

MJ Gotta Pay!

A $7 million breach-of-contract lawsuit was filed against Michael Jackson by the king of Bahrain's son over an album that was promised by the entertainer, but never delivered.


The Bell Pottinger Group says Sheik Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa filed the case against Jackson at London's Royal Courts of Justice. The suit was to be heard Monday afternoon, reports the Associated Press.


In 2006, Jackson announced the release of a new album for Khalifa's record label 2 Seas Records. Media reports say Khalifa has yet to see a completed album.

The lawsuit comes a week after Jackson gave up the title to his Neverland ranch in California.


This has not been a good week for MJ!

Maybe he should ask Janet for a loan?

Oh wait. She broke too!

Minus Her VP Wardrobe Budget?

Just how much could the Alaska governor make from putting pen to paper? About $7 million, according to some estimates.

Sound like a lot? Not necessarily, says one literary insider.

Bill Clinton made more than $10 million when he signed his deal in 2001 and that was the most for a former president," says the source. "Sarah brings something different to the table — there is so much curiosity surrounding her and her life. If they move fast and get this thing on shelves, then a $7 million advance could be worth it."


As if there wasn't enough proof already that Palin has achieved full pop-culture phenom status, consider this: Paparazzi photos of the governor have surfaced.

In the photos, which have popped up online, Palin is pictured lounging poolside (in T-shirt and shorts) doing, well, nothing.

"Even photos of her of her just sitting there, but looking like a normal person, could go for solid five-figure sums," says one magazine editor.

Another editor disagrees. "If it's an all-rounder (meaning: the photos can be sold to other outlets) it would sell for probably about $300 per picture. If it's exclusive, $7,000, max. She's over in print ... she's doing so much press that she's overexposed."


We are not mad atcha, Mistress P.

Get that dough!

You earned it!

MJ on Tour?

First there were reports that Michael Jackson would join his brothers in a reunion tour. Then, the singer, himself, released a statement denying the rumors, which his brother Jermaine had confirmed as true the previous day.

Now, Billboard.com is hearing talk that Jackson may follow in the footsteps of Prince and perform a long engagement at London's 02 Arena.

"A source confirms that there is a 'standing offer with no expiration' from AEG Live for Jackson to play at the O2," Billboard reported Friday. "The 02 is operated by Anschutz Entertainment Group, and any Jackson stand at the 02 would almost certainly be promoted by AEG Live, the live entertainment arm of AEG."

Sources tell Billboard that Michael's decision not to participate in the reported Jackson 5 reunion tour may stem from his desire to do his own touring next year.

In related news, Jackson's groundbreaking 1982 album "Thriller" jumped 41-1 on Billboard's Top Pop Catalog Albums chart last week after selling 31,000 copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan (a 1,000% increase).

The move was fueled by the album's various anniversary celebrations that took place around the world last week. The set is now 2008's top-selling catalog album, having shifted 688,000 copies.

Hohan and Color

Lindsay Lohan referred to President-elect Barack Obama as the country’s “first colored president” in an interview on “Access Hollywood.”

Describing her experience on Election Day, Lohan said: “It was really exciting. It’s an amazing feeling. It’s our first colored president.”

A spokeswoman for Lohan didn’t immediately return messages left Wednesday.

Interviewer Maria Menounos didn’t question the 22-year-old actress on her use of the term. “Access Hollywood” also didn’t cite her remark in its online story, but did post an “extended interview” video on its Web site that included the remark.

Lohan blogged about her support of Obama during the presidential campaign.

She can blog, which means she can obviously read, and she hasn't read that the term colored is out of date?

Someone beat her with her own crack pipe!

Another Disney Ho Takes It Off

Nude photos of singer Adrienne Bailon of The Cheetah Girls popped up on the Internet over the weekend straight from her laptop, which was stolen last month at New York's JFK Airport while she waited for a flight.


The 25-year-old Disney star filed a report with the Port Authority after losing the computer. Later that day, her record label received an anonymous phone call from a man saying he’d return it for a $1,000 fee.

A meeting was arranged at JFK with the anonymous man, where he was given the money and in exchange returned Bailon’s laptop, but the nude pics of the singer were missing from the computer.

Bailon had reportedly taken the racy images as an anniversary present for her boyfriend, Robert Kardashian. Her lawyer says she "will be pursuing legal action against the person or person's sending these private photos out."

"Adrienne is deeply sorry for any pain this may have caused to her fans," the lawyer added.

Pssst. We here Playboy a-callin'!

They Did Not ASK You, B!

Beyonce says she is ready, willing and able to do whatever necessary for President-elect Barack Obama on Inauguration Day in Washington.


"I'm there. I can't wait," she told the Associated Press. "I feel like all of us, we're ready to do whatever we have to do. Whatever they want -- if they need me to volunteer, they need me to sing, I'm there, and I'm ready."


That sounds like some Marily Monroe skankiness to us.

The singer said she already had to cancel a promotional trip to Japan to plug her new album, "I Am ... Sasha Fierce" so that she could remain in the U.S. on Election Night.

"I said, 'What am I doing? I'm completely making a bad decision. I have to go home. I'm gonna kill myself if I'm not home in America,"' said Beyonce. "I knew I needed to be here."

Knowles watched the election results at home with friends and family – while wearing a blue suit and tie with matching red, white and blue stilettos. After he won, she said she "fell asleep crying and smiling at the same time. I woke up with mascara running and a smile on my face."


Most important, Knowles said, is that the newly elected president has provided inspiration for African Americans.

"My nephew, who is 4, when we say, 'You can do whatever, you can be whatever,' it's not cliche," she explained.

Who taught B what the word 'cliche' means?!

Vote With Vigilance!!!!

Posh To Drop Trou For Armani

Fashion icon (contain your laughter) Victoria Beckham is the spokeswoman for the new Armani fashion house lingerie line — following in the footsteps of husband David Beckham, who also appeared in the fashion house's underwear campaign.

The company said Friday that Beckham will debut in the spring-summer 2009 advertising campaign of Emporio Armani women's underwear.

Giorgio Armani called the former “Posh Spice” of the Spice Girls a “style icon, a dynamic lady whose influence and recognition will add great excitement” to the ad campaign.

David Beckham has just agreed to move to Milan, Italy's fashion capital, on a three-month loan to AC Milan starting in January.


Coincidence? I think not.

We posted a pic of David Beckham in his underwear because does anyone really want to see her skinny non-ass in panties?

Didn't think so!

Crack Is Cheap, Which Means You Can Buy More!

A British couple who sold video footage of singer Amy Winehouse apparently smoking crack to a newspaper have pleaded guilty to drug charges.

Johnny Blagrove and Cara Burton admitted in court Friday they offered to supply drugs, including cocaine and ecstasy, to Winehouse.

Prosecutors say the pair covertly filmed Winehouse and sold the footage to The Sun newspaper. In January the paper published the images, which appeared to show the singer smoking crack cocaine.

Detectives decided there was not enough evidence to charge Winehouse but they charged the couple.

Prosecutor Sean Larkin says police who raided the couple’s home found a list of celebrities they supplied with drugs, including Winehouse.

Who'd be willing to bet that Pete Doherty was also on that list?
