Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
are looking more and
more like husband and
wife.
When together the scene is that of
family bliss as the couple enjoy an
outing at a shopping mall with
Angelina's adopted kids. And they
will increase speculation that the
Hollywood stars will soon walk
down the aisle.
With four-year-old Maddox calling
him "daddy," Brad trawled
through the Galaxyland indoor
amusement park at the West Edmonton
Mall in Canada with
Angelina, who held baby Zahara.
The superstar couple perused an
array of shops, then picked up
some fast food at Taco Bell before
going back to their movie star lives.
The happy family daytrip only
heightened whispers that the discreet
couple are planning to make
their relationship official. With
Brad's divorce from Jennifer Aniston
due to become final on October
1, little Maddox could soon be calling
Brad his daddy for real.
Shopper Blaire Schmermune said Brad, 41, "looked like the
father-figure"
to Angelina's son. "Maddox
called him daddy," she added.
Another shopper, Ashley Cipywnyk,
said: "Brad looked like he was
having fun. When they went into the
play place, they were running
around and screaming."
She said Angelina, 30, had her
hands full with eight-month-old Zahara
so she didn't join in the antics.
And just in case any doubts
remained over the nature of Brad
and Angelina's relationship, witness
Rosemary Austen said she saw them
share a "pretty sexy" kiss. "It was full
on," she said. "They were necking."
Brad is in Canada to shoot his latest
movie The Assassination Of Jesse
James, and Angelina flew there to
spend time with him after attending
a film premiere in New York with her
first husband Jonny Lee Miller.
Friends say Miller — still one of
Angelina's pals — has given his blessing
to her relationship with Brad.
No Leather Boots For Me!

Sources say, when Joaquin Phoenix walks the line in
a Johnny Cash biopic, it will be in plastic cowboy boots. The
moody actor is a staunch animal-rights supporter, and drove the
wardrobe folks a little batty by insisting on wearing an entirely
“cruelty-free” wardrobe, says a source.
“He
refused to wear anything made of leather,” says a source. “So even
Johnny Cash’s signature cowboy boots had to be approved by PETA.”
Lawyer Denies Drugs Belong to Boy George

NEW YORK (AP) - A lawyer for Boy George is denying
that drugs found in the British singer's apartment belonged to him.
Authorities said the singer, whose real name is George O'Dowd, was
arraigned on drug charges early Saturday.
He had called 911 to report that his home had been burglarized around 3
a.m. Friday, said Detective Kevin Czartoryski, a police spokesman.
Officers arrived at O'Dowd's apartment and discovered a small amount of
cocaine next to a computer, police said. They were continuing to
investigate.
The singer was released Saturday without bail after being charged with
fourth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, allegedly
more than an eighth of an ounce of cocaine, said Barbara Thompson, a
spokeswoman for the Manhattan District Attorney's office. He was
scheduled to return to court on Dec. 19.
``It was a small amount of drugs,'' lawyer Lou Freeman told the New
York Post for Saturday editions. ``He does not know where it came from.
He's had a lot of people in his house.''
``A man who has something to hide does not call police,'' he said.
It is not the first time that Boy George has had problems with drugs.
In 1986, the singer was convicted for heroin possession in England. Two
of his friends overdosed in the incident and O'Dowd was forced into a
rehabilitation program. The conviction led to the disintegration of his
group, Culture Club, one year later.
Boy George, famous for his androgynous persona, and Culture Club had
hits including ``Karma Chameleon'' and ``Do You Really Want to Hurt
Me.''
Kate Moss & Scientology

According to reports,
Scientology has a message for Kate Moss: We can help. Reps of the
controversial religion are “reaching out” to the model, offering to
help her beat her drug problem, says a well-placed source. Moss was
recently dropped from a lucrative modeling contract when she was
photographed snorting lines of coke.
“Scientology has become quite proactive in reaching out to people,”
says the source. “Kate is a woman who needs help and Scientology feels
that they can steer her in the right direction.”
According to source,
Scientologists will be urging Moss to
undergo treatment with Narconon, a drug treatment program with strong
links to Scientology. Greg LaClaire, head of the Scientology’s
Celebrity Center declined comment, we don’t talk
about the private lives of anyone.” Cookie: Drugs and
cigarrettes are part of a Model's lives... What a girl to do?
Kate will get fat is she stops!! Hello!
Don’t
believe those reports that Eminem has written a letter to Mariah Carey,
suggesting that they patch things up and become friends. “He’s not a
guy who plays nice like that,”
According to Eminem’s
spokesman.
Cookie: Mariah can
forget about getting n apology form Eminem... Not even in her dreams!

I
write the songs
I write
the songs & I have To Pay?
Paul McCartney is not looking to buy the
rights to the Beatles’ catalogue of music from Michael Jackson —
despite widespread reports to the contrary. He does, admit, however,
that it’s “annoying” to have to pay for the rights to perform the songs
he co-wrote when he plays them in the U.S.
When word came out that Jackson was hoping to sell the tunes to help
pay off some of his debt, several of McCartney’s friends, including
rocker Bono, urged him to snap them up. But McCartney isn’t taking
their advice.

“The thing is, I get some money from the
publishing already. It’s not like I’m getting nothing at the moment,”
McCartney tells the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone. “And in a few
years, more of the rights automatically revert to me. The only annoying
thing is, when I tour in America, I have to pay to play some of my own
songs. But I don’t think about that. Because if I did, it would be
[bleeping] annoying. “
Madonna Parts
Ways With
David LaChapelle

Madonna
may have found a new director to replace
David LaChapelle. The two
parted ways, citing “artistic differences” over her video “Hung Up.”
The buzz is he’s being replaced by Johan Renck,
who worked with Madonna on “Nothing Really Matters.”
Who Wears The
Pants In the Family?

One more Madonna gossip bit... Guy
Ritchie
confesses that he was “always soft” and that his wife is the tough one
in the marriage. “She was up and running in no time,” he said of
Madonna’s riding accident. “We went off to France the next day — much
against my advice. She’s definitely the tough side of the family."

Britney Spears singing the postpartum
blues?
Sources
tell me Spears has been moody since giving birth to her son. “Brit’s
mood has been up and down since she came home,” a Spears family friend
told Life & Style Weekly. “She’s been crying through the smiles,”
adds the friend. According to Spears’ rep, "Brit is doing fine".
According
to sources, Ms. Spears is worried about getting back her figure, and is
concerned that her caesarean scar won’t heal completely. There’s also a
report that hubby Kevin Federline almost forgot the couple’s September
18 anniversary — but made it up to her by buying a sapphire “mother’s
ring.”
Cookie: I give them about another six months before
Brit and Federline head for divorce court.
Baby On The Way!

Katie Holmes Pregnant!... Really?
Tom's
publicist confirmed that 26-year-old Katie is pregnant.
"I can confirm the wonderful news, Tom's sister Lee Anne Devette said
in a statement. Katie thought to
have conceived about three months ago and is expecting to give birth in
the spring. She has hardly been seen in public for the past six weeks —
but she
appeared looking tired and pale with Tom in Los Angeles recently.
According to sources, Katie is already sporting a baby bump.
Tom is said to be
"jubilant" at the news. He has two adopted children with ex-wife Nicole
Kidman, but this will be his first naturally-born child.
The couple's publicist refused to give any further details.
Cookie: If Tom
can make babies how come Nicole Kidman never had a baby bump? Just
asking.
Angelina's Baby Trouble?
Outraged
Angelina Jolie has
vowed never to give up her baby girl after African authorities ordered
an investigation into claims that eight-month-old Zahara was illegally
adopted.
According to sources
Ethiopian
government official told The National Enquirer that the 30-year-old
Tomb Raider star may face a new court battle if the probe confirms the
alleged irregularities.
The
devoted mom may even be asked to return to Ethiopia and reapply for
Zahara's adoption.
The
shocking new development
will stun the star, who has nursed the baby back to strength since
bringing her to America in July. "Angelina spent a lot of time trying
to ensure everything went smoothly," said a source close to the star in
Los Angeles. "She is certain no laws were broken — but she will not
risk going back to Ethiopia with Zahara. There is no way she will ever
give up that child.
She would rather give up her life."Angelina did not
return calls for comment, but she is understood to be furious that
questions have been raised over the adoption. The conflict
centers on
a claim that an Ethiopian member of Wide Horizons For Children, the
U.S.-based agency representing Angelina, misled the African
authorities. Documents filed in court stated Zahara's mom was
dead.
However, new reports suggest that she is alive — and named her as
18-year-old seamstress Mentaweb Dawit, who says she gave birth after
being raped. "I want them both to know I love them very much," the
Ethiopian teenager told The Sun newspaper in Britain. "And I want to
say thank you to Angelina for giving my baby this wonderful, loving
family." The sensational claim has thrown the adoption back under the
legal microscope.
"The adoption could be illegal because the law in
Ethiopia says that if the mother is still alive she must give her
consent and in this case that may not have happened," said Ethiopian
adoption law specialist Belay Ketema. "If the mother is in fact alive,
the adoptive mother — Angelina Jolie — must appear in court to nullify
the old papers and re-apply for the adoption. The baby's mother must
also appear to give her consent. "If the real mother refuses, that
could cause all sorts of problems and mean the adoption would never
become legal."
Angelina believed Zahara was an orphan when she flew
into Ethiopia on June 28 with Brad Pitt and her adopted son, Maddox,
three, to pick up her new daughter. It was reported at the time that
Zahara's grandmother was Almaz Blfnhe, 45, from the squalid town of
Awassa, and that she had given up the baby for adoption after her own
daughter died following childbirth. Angelina is understood to have paid
around $10,000 for the adoption...
Cookie:
And the saga continues... I will keep you posted!
Katie
Holmes Pregnant -And Not Married!
Now,
that's a great way to catch man!!
And
speaking of babies... Katie Holmes might not take too well to certain
aspects of motherhood. Sources tell me last spring, in an unpublished
part of an interview, the woman who is now pregnant with Tom Cruise’s
child told Cosmo Girl, “My sisters are raising children and when I
think
I’ve had a hard day and they tell me about potty training, I’m like ‘Oh
my God, if I had to do that I would freak out!"
Cookie:
If Katie thinks potty training will freak her out , wait till she gains
a ton of weight as the baby grows insider of her! Hello!

Yikes!

WAS RENEE'S MARRIAGE OVER RIGHT AFTER THE WEDDING?

According
to sources RENÉE ZELLWEGER's
surprising split with brand-new hubby KENNY
CHESNEY: the marriage went to hell because she...
surprised him! The end began soon after the wedding,
when Renée suddenly joined Ken Doll on his concert tour bus
for what she'd planned as a two-week "second honeymoon" —
hauling aboard stacks of suitcases packed with designer
duds, froo-froo kicks and girlie bahgegalore. Insiders say that
at first, the
newlyweds were huggy-kissy-lovey-dovey — but after continually
tripping over wifey's unpacked bags in the cramped bus,
Kenny went koo-koo! He ordered Renée to pack up most
of her crap, and — ignoring her shrieks of protest — directed
a staffer to ship nearly all of it back home! Outraged
by Kenny's country-boy macho 'tude, Renée exploded
and the couple fought and screamed non-stop until
she snatched her stuff and split in a fury — ending the
"love-fest" after just one day. Arriving back in L.A.,
shaken Renée confessed to pals that she feared the
marriage was already doomed. I phoned Chesney's
rep, who denied all. Zellweger's PR never responded.
Cookie:
What did she expect?... She marry a cowboy!
Trouble in paradise
for Britney Spears and her hubby?

Insiders
tell me, the couple has acknowledged rough patches in the early days of
their marriage, and it looks like having a baby hasn’t helped things.
The buzz is that Kevin Federline — who walked out on his pregnant
girlfriend and child to be with Spears — isn’t taking too well to
fatherhood this time around either. Since
Spears brought home little Sean Preston, his dad has been “a real brat”
— hitting golf balls, partying and chatting on the phone until well
into the night, an insider tells Life & Style Weekly. Spears has
reportedly complained that she’s “raising two kids now.”
After one particularly nasty row, Federline moved into a friend’s house
for three days, according to the mag. But Spears’ mom, Lynne, has
reportedly come to the rescue and is helping the couple through its
tough patch.
Cookie: Spears’ rep
didn’t respond to my request for comment.
To Be Or
Not To Be... Paris
Former
child star Shirley Temple Black has some very grown-up criticism of
Paris Hilton.
The 77-year-old former curly
topped cutie has blasted Hilton, saying that those like the partying
heiress are “stealing the thunder from really talented actors who have
learnt their craft,” reports the London Express.
Another
Shirley is also taking aim at Hilton. Shirley MacLaine, who was named
after Temple, had unkind words for Hilton. “She just shops and turns up
to parties,” said MacLaine while promoting her film “In Her Shoes.” “So
she wears pink and has blonde hair and suddenly she calls herself not a
starlet or an ingénue — no, according to Paris, she is a movie
star!”Hilton recently wrapped her first lead roles in
"Bottom’s Up" and "Pledge This," which further irks MacLaine. “It
irritates me as in my day you had to really work,” said MacLaine. “It
took Bette Davis seven years of hard slog to reach the point where her
name was above the title on a movie.”
Cookie:
Paris is just another fake blonde in Hollyweird! If her name wasn't
Hilton, I doubt she would be working... talented she is not!
Pregnant
& No Wedding Date?
According to
reports, Tom Cruise’s future father-in-law seems not to be very happy
with his daughter's pregnancy. Katie Holmes’s dad is said to be “very
upset” because his unmarried daughter is
pregnant with Cruise’s child. And, what’s more, the
devoutly Catholic Martin Holmes reportedly is none-too-thrilled about
his daughter’s involvement in her husband-to-be’s controversial
religion, Scientology.
Insiders say
Martin Holmes was very upset and got into a real spat with Katie,” the
forthcoming issue of Life & Style Weekly quotes “a close friend” of
Cruise as saying. “Tom had promised her parents that they would do the
right thing and get married before any baby came along.” The insider
went on to say, after scolding his daughter, Martin Holmes berated
Cruise by declaring “You’re no good.”

Michael Jackson Falls Outside Theater

LONDON (AP) - Michael Jackson fell to
the ground as he tried to make his way through a throng of hundreds of
fans outside the Victoria Palace theater, where he watched the stage
version of the movie ``Billy Elliot.''
Security staff forced a path for Jackson, 47, through the admirers and
photographers standing outside the theater so he could reach the front
door. But the singer fell in the commotion.
At the performance, Jackson mingled with other spectators, chatting and
signing autographs.
``He talked to us saying hello and there were a lot of people around
him,'' said Roxanne Wisenberg, 47, of San Diego. ``He was very nice and
his children were with him.''
Jackson was in London to work on recording a song to benefit Hurricane
Katrina victims. He was staying at the Dorchester Hotel in Park Lane,
where fans gathered outside in hopes of seeing him.
The visit to Britain was believed to be his first since his acquittal
in June of child molestation charges. He has spent much of his time in
Bahrain.
Kosher Or Not?

Some skeptics have a question about Demi
Moore and Ashton Kutcher’s marriage: is it really kosher?
The pair was married by Eitan Yardeni, a rabbi for the Kabbalah Centre,
the controversial mystical offshoot of Judaism. But some Kabbalah
watchers say there may be a problem: they say that as best they can
tell, Yardeni isn’t an ordained rabbi.
“From my research, it appears that Yardeni is a rabbi only because the
head of the Kabbalah Centre said, ‘You are a rabbi,’” Rick Ross of
Cultnews.com tells The Scoop. “That doesn’t mean that the marriage
isn’t legal — but it sure isn’t kosher!”
Another Star Couple Bites
The Dust!
According
to reports a Los Angeles
judge has signed off on the divorce of Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt,
but under California law, the former golden couple's split is now
official.
Divorce papers were filed Aug. 19 in Los Angeles Superior Court after
being signed earlier by retired Judge Jill S. Robbins. Aniston and Pitt
had sought Robbins to handle their breakup privately.
Pitt and Aniston separated in January after 41/2 years of marriage.
Aniston filed for divorce in March, citing irreconcilable differences.
Since their split, Pitt has been linked to Angelina Jolie, his "Mr.
& Mrs. Smith" co-star. They have not commented publicly on their
relationship.
In an interview in Vanity Fair, Aniston said she still loved Pitt but
was getting on with her life.
"The sad thing, for me, is the way it's been reduced to a Hollywood
cliche -- or maybe it's just a human cliche," she told the magazine.
Cookie: No Babies? No Brad!
BENJAMIN BRATT
WELCOMES SON

E-Ring star Benjamin Bratt
just became a father again. He and his wife, Talisa Soto welcomed baby
boy Mateo Bravery Bratt to their family. He weighed in at 7 pounds, 7
ounces. The Bratts have a daughter, age 3, named Sophia Rosalinda. The
couple met during the filming of the movie, Pinero.

No More 50
Cent For Fox!

According
to reporte, Actress Vivica Fox has some harsh words for her ex-sweetie,
50 Cent. She calls his way of dealing with their break-up “ghetto love.”
The bad press about the relationship lasted longer than the
relationship itself, the “Missing” star told talk show host Tyra Banks,
and she believes she was cast as the villain in the whole process.
“Why do
you think the press does that?” Banks asked.
“No, it
wasn’t the press — it was him!” Fox replied, according to a source
familiar with the show, which airs Thursday. “He was like, ‘She’s
exploiting me, she’s trying to use me to get publicity.’. . . . But,
you know, I just considered that ghetto love. It was his way of
dealing with the break-up.”
Fox
also said that she has 13 tattoos — and one on her arm that says
“Strength, Courage & Wisdom” is due to 50 Cent: “After my break-up
with 50 Cent, that was a song [India.Arie’s “Strength, Courage &
Wisdom”] I listened to almost every day because I needed strength,
courage, and wisdom to never let that happen to me again.”
Cookie: Vivica get
another tatoo that says: How stupid was I to mark my body with so many
tatoos!!

Sources
tell me Kanye West at a London nightclub had
his own Oprah/Hermes "sorry you can't come in "experience".
The ultra hot rapper was refused entry
into a London nightclub when a doorman didn’t recognize him, according
to overseas reports. West was in the UK promoting his album “Late
Registration” and had given a performance at Abbey Road studios. But
when he tried to get in to West End club Chinawhite, he was reportedly
turned away.
“Kanye rocked up at Chinawhite at around
2.30am with his entourage. They parked their two silver Mercedes people
carriers outside the club and all of them headed to the door,”
according to the London Mirror. “The people on the door said it was
members’ only and they didn’t seem to recognize him at all.” The report
adds that “Kanye was gracious but he was fuming. His big night had been
ruined.” Spokesmen for Chinawhite couldn’t be reached for comment.
Cookie: It cannot be denied,
the world is full of stupid people!
Photographer
charged in Witherspoon incident.
A A photographer was charged with child
endangerment and battery for allegedly striking a 5-year-old child with
his camera and shoving another out of the way to take pictures of Reese
Witherspoon and her children.
Todd K. Wallace, 44, was charged Friday and was due back in court
Wednesday, Assistant City Attorney Patrick Ahle said.
The photographer also is charged with battering the 5-year-old’s
mother, who is a friend of Witherspoon, and two employees at a Disney
theme park, said Anaheim Police Sgt. Rick Martinez.
Wallace became angry when the “Legally Blonde”
star and her friends declined to be photographed Sept. 2 at Disney’s
California Adventure and cursed them, Martinez said. Wallace was
initially cited for misdemeanor assault and battery of the two
employees.The incident left
some of the children in tears.Tabloids
must realize that “battering and endangering a child to get a picture
for their magazines is criminal and not business as usual,” said
Witherspoon’s attorney, Blair Berk.
A
phone message left for Wallace early Saturday was not immediately
returned. He served more than four years in prison after a 1993
conviction of second-degree burglary and receiving goods by fraud,
according to state corrections records.
In
August, prosecutors decided not to charge photographers whom
Witherspoon said chased her from her gym and trapped her outside the
West Los Angeles gated community where she lives with her husband,
actor Ryan Phillippe, and their two
children.
