There’s really been a run on pregnancy among the Hollywood crowd these days. If they haven’t just had a baby and are showing off their baby breasts, then they are denying their pregnancy even though their baby bumps tell it all.

Angelina Jolie is one of those that hasn’t confirmed she’s pregnant, but one look at this picture lets you know that the rumors she’s pregnant with twins could very well be true. Brad Pitt is keeping a close watch over her.

Then you have the expressionless Nicole Kidman. She’s elegant as usual except the necklace is WAY over the top. Its distracting actually. Still, she seems to like to show off her baby bump and Keith Urban is keeping watch over her as well.

Check out the stilettos Cate Blanchett is wearing! How is she keeping her balance. Her feet have to hurt big time! Jessica Alba just looks adorable.

X17 Online provides photos of Britney’s first visit with her children since she held them captive in the bathroom precipitating her hospitalizations and hopefully recovery from whatever demons she’s struggling with. They also have a summery of the strict guidelines she has to abide by in order to see the boys. Obviously, her father accompanied her, probably supervising, the visit.

Gary Busey scared the you know what outta Jennifer Garner on the Red Carpet. She obviously didn’t even know who he was. He came up and kissed her, then hugged her, then kissed her on the neck. She tried to get away from him and got really nervous. When a reporter asked her about it she called him ‘that man’. Of course, Busey has been around a LOT longer than Jennifer Garner. He’s been there, done that and gone crazy to boot. If she’d she’d known who he was she’d probably have been even more frightened.

I have been really aware of how overweight we Americans are. It really struck me after a recent trip to Europe. While there I hardly ever saw anyone overweight. As soon as I returned to the U.S. I couldn’t help but notice the difference. Do Americans just eat more? I don’t think so. It seems that all we do in Europe is eat. I think the difference is that we have a more sedentary lifestyle. But that’s just my own personal theory.

Actually, there are a lot of reasons people gain weight. We tend to gain weight during particular periods of our lives. For instance, during adolescence there is usually a growing spurt and kids will get heavier and then as they get taller will slim back down. Our metabolism slows down as we get older making it more difficult to stay slim. When we work out regularly we need to remember that muscle weights more than fat so we’ll weigh more even though we look fit.

I was looking at an interesting website, www.ShrinkYourself.com, which is about just what it says … shrinking yourself. Most of us like that idea! It gives you a good assessment of the reasons people gain weight, including emotional eating. Dr. Roger Gould has spent 20 years studying emotional eating and developed a program that has been thoroughly researched at some of the most prestigious universities in the country. Right now you can get a free interactive session and fully personalized emotional eating provide at the Shrink Yourself website. The website has proven results that are equivalent to face-to-face therapy in reclaiming your power over food. There are free articles, interactive tools, tips and a supportive, active community online. You can even get tips and alerts delivers to your cell phone.

Paris Hilton tries to pump her own gas!! I know, is that really headline news? Probably. She’s finding it difficult to shop, carry shopping bags and purse, talk on her cell phone, text, pose for the paparazzi and concentrate on looking hot while pumping. Doesn’t she have people to do that for her?

A lot of people talk about how Sharon Stone has really bad taste in clothes. I don’t think that’s what it is. I think she’s trying her best to get PETA to notice her so she can get some publicity from the controversy. Think about it. The woman’s career has taken a nose dive. Really, she only did one movie didn’t she? I mean other than spreading her legs in Basic Instincts, what is she known for? Well, she’s known for wrapping herself up in tons of animal skin and animal fur. So what’s a girl to do? If she’s middle aged and nobody really wants her to spread her legs for the camera anymore then her options are getting kind of slim. The answer is wrap yourself up in G*D AWFUL loud animal prints and huge furs that took at least a dozen animals to make and then get your picture made so that maybe PETA will start making a big deal out of you. Its free publicity.

See, there’s a reason for that outfit!

Every since her husband got put in prison Amy Winehouse has been doing a little better. You can see the improvement in her appearance and she’s not been pictured wandering the streets of London crying in her underwear a single time since he’s been locked up.

Now it looks like she’s trying to clean up her act even more. Actually, her record label is forcing her to. They’ve ordered her to get rid of the hangers-on that are contributing to her craziness. She’s dropping the druggies out of her circle. Her record label is paying for round-the-clock surveillance of her in a ’safe house’ to help her stay clean. They’ve moved her out of her residence to help her resist the temptation of the old ‘friends’ who are still dropping by to give her drugs. Her husband, Blake, is still trying to control her from prison with suicide gestures and the like, but his influence seems to be diminishing.

I really hope Amy gets it together.
