Hope everyone had a great Independence Day weekend!
A big congrats to Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban for welcoming their first baby girl to the world. Sunday Rose Kidman Urban (that’s a mouthful!) was born this morning in Nashville, and weighed in at a healthy 6 lbs, 7.5 ounces, despite Nicole’s small bump throughout her pregnancy.
The proud new papa made time for this personal message on his website:
“Earlier this morning Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel very blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.”
I have no doubt these two will make great parents!

Vanity Fair just released its list of the next big things in its new August issue.
Stealing the cover are a quartet of lovely ladies. Kristen Stewart, Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, and Amanda Seyfried (Karen from Mean Girls) are reminiscent of fresh-faced, bathing beauties from the 1940s.
Other young up-and-comers include the cast of Gossip Girl, the Jonas Brothers, and Jonah Hill of Superbad. All the stars are featured in a beautiful spread of light, neutral colors with an intimate retro feel.
See the photos and read the fun questionnaire that the stars filled out here.
Ok, so this blog isn’t supposed to be about Mary-Kate Olsen’s every move, but I just can’t resist one more post on her.
The younger Olsen twin appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last night to promote her upcoming film The Wackness, in which she makes out with Sir Ben Kingsley. MK was very giggly and a little spacey. At one point when Letterman asked her a question, she just looked at him for a few seconds, then laughed and apologized for being so tired.
The petite star gets chattier when the subject turns to her former high-school classmate and perma-annoying- Ken-doll-wannabe, Spencer Pratt. When Letterman called Heidi’s other half “wormy,” MK nodded before revealing “he does not have a good temper.”
Surprisingly, Mary-Kate was well received on the late night show, drawing many laughs and seemed nicer than the media often portrays her.
Now, you have my word, Monday’s post will not be on an Olsen twin or Nicole Richie (well, unless, ya know, they do something earth-shattering).

Fresh off my previous two posts, suspicious photos of Mary-Kate Olsen and Nicole Richie surfaced on the www.
The two petite starlets seem to be having a grand ol’ time at a house party with a flannel theme (must’ve been MK’s idea). Cigarettes, beer, and wine are prevalent in all the shots. There’s even a strange pinata and a pic of the girls staring at something vomit-y on the floor.
Is it just me or do the pics have a grittiness to them? Anyways, haven’t seen MK with so much emotion and expression.
At least Ashley isn’t in any of them, that’s all I have to say…oh, to be a fly on that wall.

Everybody’s favorite flannel-wearing-boho-bum-chic heroine Mary-Kate Olsen has joined the cast of Samantha Who? for one episode to be aired this fall.
“She started today,” an on-set insider blabbed. “And she’s terrific.”
ABC confirmed that the millionaire twin plays a character that Samantha (Christina Applegate) tries to “save.” Oh, this oughta be good. Can’t wait for MK to bust out those comedic chops again!

All together: awwww… How much does little Harlow look like her rocker daddy??
Looks like the 5-month-old tiny tot is warming up to the camera (remember her Harper’s Bazaar photo shoot?). Her parents are also house hunting in ritzy Hollywood and just bought a condo in New York City so she better get used to the paps.
Oh, how I wish I was Harlow.

It’s getting hot in here and it’s not just the summer solstice I’m talking about.
People magazine has just released its Hottest Bachelors of 2008 issue. The compilation was a rather surprising and interesting one. A bevy of actors, musicians, athletes, and celebrity siblings (?!) made the cut, while dimpled cutie and newly single Mario Lopez took the top honor.
Sure, there were mainstream hotties like George Clooney, Justin Timberlake (though not for long, we hear), and the boys of Gossip Girl. And dark mysterious men like Terrence Howard and Adam Levine are totally welcomed in the round-up.
But what about perma-clubgoers Brody Jenner and wingman Frankie Delgado of The Hills? As if these boys need another reason to playboy it up at LA hotspots. And Bryan Spears?! At least someone in the Spears family has it together.
Cheers to being single and sexy!

While I still haven’t gotten used to the idea of a pregnant Jamie Lynn Spears, the teenage star has popped her bun outta the oven!
Maddie Briann Aldridge was born this morning at around 9:30 a.m. in a Mississippi hospital near Jamie Lynn’s Louisiana hometown where she has been nesting for the past few months. Jamie Lynn, 17, and her fiance Casey Aldridge, 19, have just bought a house in Mississippi to start their new family.
The whole Spears clan was by the young mom’s side, including sis Britney.
Congrats and good luck to the new parents!

Anne Hathaway has split from her legally challenged beau after dating for four years, according to various media outlets. There has been no official confirmation from the Anne’s camp yet, but a close family source insists it’s over. The rumors kicked into high gear when she walked the red carpet for her film Get Smart solo.
Some say it’s about time for the 25-year-old actress to chuck Raffaello Follieri. The Italian businessman has recently thrust his famous girlfriend into the negative spotlight again when he came under investigation by the New York State Attorney General for having not filed IRS forms for his charity foundation.
It wasn’t the first financial trouble he’s gotten into either. E! Online exclusively obtained documents from the New York State Supreme Court stating that Follieri owes American Express Bank nearly half a million as of last week. Anne’s ex also first made his own headline back in April when it was reported that he bounced a $215,000 check and failing to pay his public relations firm.
Well, that’s not smart.
Well, well, well…hot off the heels of my last post, Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge were seen making nice and partying up a storm at Hollywood’s latest club du jour, Crown Bar.
A fellow clubgoer noted that the two roommates held hands and danced together all night, except when Audrina danced with too-cool-for-school sometimes flame Justin Bobby. Is the drama really over? Or is it just for the cameras?
And it all happened before you can say frenemy…
Weird fact of the day: LC was just ranked as #97 on the Forbes annual list of 100 Most Powerful Celebrities, raking in $1.5 million last year. Incredible what reality TV and being a regular 22-year-old can do for you.
Speaking of rich 22-year-olds… a double shot of happy happy birthday to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen!
