YOU DIDNT HEAR IT FROM ME {22}

you didnt hear it from me...by nikkib    issue no. 22 on popbytes I'm dying to know...is anyone watching 'Joey?' It looks horrific. I'm pretty sure this is Kelly Ripa - and it makes me really like her. Which wholesome chat show hostess had a nursery-type room constructed so she could bring her kids to work? 'Sadly, she never does,' reports our spy. 'What she does do after every show is sit in her dressing room and down a glass of Merlot and smoke three Marlboro Lights to combat her daily anxiety" - {pagesix.com}

Poor Ethan Hawke, he looks awful lately and no one is interested in him anymore. Come to think about it, who really cares about Uma either (besides being creeped out by that weird bf)? Ethan Hawke has sparked speculation he's dating Julie Delpy, after being spotted on a romantic date with the French beauty. The pair, co-stars in 'Before Sunrise' and 'Before Sunset,' were spotted enjoying a cosy lunch together at the trendy New York City eatery Le Gamin - with Hawke's 2-year-old son Roan in tow. An onlooker says, 'They were whispering, locking eyes and grinning at each other. At one point, Julie tossed her head back and laughed flirtatiously at him.' Once their lunch concluded, the trio untied Hawke's dog from the restaurant's bench and went for a stroll. A source tells Us Weekly, 'They seemed happy. He put his arm around her.' Both stars' representatives insist they're just friends. Hawke is currently estranged from wife Uma Thurman. - {the daily dish, sfgate.com}

Does Star have a weird fat-girl complex that she's marrying an obviously gay man?! I mean, come on! This guy isn't even on the down-low�. Al Reynolds stayed away from other women Saturday night when he partied without his fiancee, Star 'Bridezilla' Jones, who's in Dallas with the crew from 'The View' � but he wasn't alone. Reynolds went to a gay-friendly Halloween bash at Belluno on East 40th Street. 'Al was there as a male stripper,' said our spy. 'He had on a tiny, tiny speedo with a white bathrobe over it � he has great abs! He was there with some friends who were dressed as King Tut, a leatherman, a cop, a cowboy and a pirate � they were all clearly gay. Some of them he knew from before Star, but he was getting to know the others.' Reynolds introduced himself to our spy, who mistook him for Jones' makeup man. Reynolds quickly corrected him and said, 'No. I'm marrying her.' One of Reynolds' entourage added: 'And he's very scared.' The speedo is a holdover from last year's Halloween party, where Reynolds wore it as part of his Bam Bam costume. Jones' rep sent us a statement saying: 'Star and Al are happily planning their wedding, which is less than a month away, and don't plan to entertain anything that would rob them of their joy.' - {pagesix.com} �

I don't think Seth & Summer are engaged, but I am REALLY excited for 'The OC' tonight. The OC' stars and onscreen lovers Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson reportedly have secretly gotten engaged in real life. Brody and Bilson play teenagers Seth Cohen and Summer Roberts respectively on the hit TV show, which follows the tangled love lives of rich youngsters living in Orange County, Calif. The onscreen couple have tried to hide their offscreen romance for as long as possible. In addition to the engagement rumor, they also have been spied looking for a house together in Los Angeles. A source at Fox television network says, 'They are both so much in love and want to settle down together. 'Adam went down on bended knee in a very traditional way and they plan to get married in the new year. It's the talk of the set, but they have been trying to keep it quiet.' - {the daily dish, sfgate.com} �

I hope this isn't true. Marcia Cross plays supermom Bree on the hit series 'Desperate Housewives'-but in real life, she backed out of an adoption because she refused to sacrifice her career to be a stay-at-home mom!DESPERATE That's the stunning charge of Jessica Ridner, 32, whose heart was broken in May when the actress decided not to adopt her child-just as production was gearing up for the darkly humorous ABC drama about the secret lives of suburban housewives. 'Marcia had promised me that she would be a stay-athome mother to my baby, but it was all a big lie,' Jessica told The ENQUIRER. 'Two months after she backed out, I saw promos on TV for 'Desperate Housewives.' Everything made sense. I understood why Marcia changed her mind-she was working! 'Marcia had been planning to go back to working long days, leaving my baby in the hands of nannies and hired caretakers-even though she knew that wasn't what I wanted for my child. 'She had to have been filming the show while we were waiting for the baby to be born. She outright lied to me, and I'm still very, very angry. 'I was giving up my baby so he would have a better life, but she had no intention of being the kind of mother I wanted for my baby.' The ENQUIRER first reported in June that never-married Marcia, 43, had contracted to adopt Jessica's baby. But when the baby was born prematurely with some health problems, Marcia allegedly got cold feet. The adoption was canceled. 'I was shocked,' said Jessica. 'Everything was set. Marcia had even picked out a name-Harrison. Marcia called me and said the adoption was off. She said she didn't have time to come to Nebraska and be with the baby in the hospital. 'I didn't understand how she could back away so coldly. What kind of mother can't take the time to be with her sick child? But now I know. Her work came before her baby.' When contacted by The ENQUIRER, Marcia's publicist refused to comment on the situation. Jessica named the baby boy Nickolas Matthew-Nick Knack, for short. He weighed just 3 pounds, 4 ounces, but was breathing on his own and doctors were optimistic that he would make it. Tragically, a week later, he died. 'Marcia sent me $300 toward the funeral, but she didn't send flowers or even a card. And I never heard from her again,' said Jessica. Jessica, a recently divorced single mother of five, works full-time in client services for Hewlett Packard, but she'd much rather be home with her kids. 'I leave work, go to the store and go home to cook for them and help them with their homework-all the things a real mom does,' she said. 'I have no choice but to work. But Marcia, who has plenty of money, had promised me that she'd be a homebody for at least the first few years of my baby's life. 'Obviously, her words meant nothing.' The ENQUIRER has learned that the 'Desperate Housewives' star is still hoping to adopt. 'A baby is still in her future plans,' Marcia's mother, Janet Cross, told The ENQUIRER. 'Marcia's new show came at a good time, to distract her about what happened to the baby she planned to adopt earlier this year. But Marcia still has her dream to become a mother.' - {NationalEnquirer.com} �

Ok, I know I'm a week late - but does anyone really think these artists are performing 'live' on these shows? Maybe I'm jaded, but I usually only think it's live if it sounds like shit. And I'm sorry, I love Em - but what's the difference between a vocal track and lip synching? It's just a technicality. Does any singer take the 'live' in 'Saturday Night Live' seriously? Just one week after Ashlee Simpson lip-synched on the show, was found guilty of the same crime. 'He was singing 'Mosh' and you could tell he was lip-synching,' said our source. 'The track was just a bit ahead of his lips and he put the mike down at one point but the track kept going.' Eminem's rep said he was merely trying to 'duplicate the sound on his album. He had a vocal track on for double vocal effect [on the first song], to make it more powerful. Lots of hip-hop artists do that. Tupac [Shakur] did it.' - {pagesix.com}

I definitely think this blind item is Queen Latifah. Lately I've been obsessing about how great her PR people must be. I mean, how many actresses do you know who get busted for pot possession and a DUI and still manage to get an Oscar nom? I mean, it's not like these indiscretions happened a long time ago. She's got deals with Pizza Hut and Cover Girl, she's America's newest sweetheart! Something's fishy - and it's not just rumors about her preferred partners. Adored Ava has it all-fame, wealth, sex partners, big boobs. She also has quite the past, including sex with heaps of men, women, tools, tiaras, you shocked-to-the-hilt name it! Sounds exhausting, but whatever; let's get on with the rubbed-raw goods, shall we? A2, one of those multitalented, multicareered types, has been raking in the cashola as of late. Deals out the wazoo trading on her famous-and infamous-past. But turns out people have no idea just how peppery that personal history is. Orgies weren't-and aren't-an uncommon occurrence in Ava's life. And certain journalists know exactly what makes Ms. Adored roar. That's why they've got a deal. A deal for A.A. to cooperate with them on a regular basis. Otherwise? The grimy goods get printed-every last drop of unsafe and unsanitary to-do. They know it. Ava knows it. - {the awful truth, eonline.com}
