That baby bump speculation has been confirmed. TMZ.com has the story:

TMZ has independently confirmed that Nicole Richie is pregnant.

The starlet has been dating Good Charlotte frontman Joel Madden for over six months. Rumors have been swirling for months that Richie and Madden were expecting, but TMZ has confirmed through several sources that she is, in fact, with child. In Touch magazine is also reporting that the couple will wed this summer. Richie is currently facing DUI charges stemming from her arrest last December, when she was found driving the wrong way on a California highway.

Richie’s trial is set for July 11. If convicted, she faces a minimum of five days in jail.

Richie’s rep did not return repeated calls for comment.

Guess we’ll find out next week at her trial if a confirmed pregnancy will have any bearing on how her trial turns out.

Natalie Gulbis is one chick who knows how to market herself. She has her own web page where she sells her own swimsuit calendar. Who needs the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition when you have a swimsuit calendar of Natalie Gulbis? “Nat’s” web site is also where you can read her journal and view her photo journal.

Answers.Com provides some background on Natalie Gulbis.

Natalie Gulbis leapt into the media spotlight in 2005 as one of the most popular woman golfers in the United States. She distinguished herself not with victories but with swimsuit calendars and a TV show on the Golf Channel. In 1997, at age 14, she had become the youngest player to qualify for a Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) event. (That record was later broken by Michelle Wie.) Gulbis played golf in high school (on the boys’ team) and spent one year playing collegiate golf at the University of Arizona before turning pro in 2002. Gulbis proved herself to be a strong golfer, if not a tournament winner — by 2005 she had become the first player in the LPGA to win more than a million dollars without a victory. Long-legged and blonde, Gulbis has been called “the Anna Kournikova of golf,” both for her good looks and for the pressure to match the hype with athletic success.

I think she’s one very smart woman. Apparently she doesn’t have the golfing prowess to be the top woman golfer, and so she has capitalized on her other assets. You go girl!

Here’s the question of the hour: Is Elizabeth Hurley so desperate to advertise her clothing line that she’d dress her 5-year old SON in a neo pink bikini? Apparently the answer is a resounding YES!

News of the World has the story.

Liz Hurley was forced to withdraw this image from her website after being accused of exploiting her son for financial gain by dressing him up in a PINK BIKINI for a photoshoot.

A bewildered little Damian —Liz’s son with US millionaire Steve Bing—is seen sporting a vile neon pink swimming cossie in a campaign for Liz’s swimwear range for kids.

Liz, 43, has been slammed for thoughtlessly humiliating the five-year-old in a “Milly Bikini” to help flog her £40-a-time outfits for girls.

An insider fumed: “It’s an outrage Liz made her son do this. He’s not old enough to make that sort of decision.

“Imagine the teasing he could suffer at school. Why would any parent do this to their child?”

The bizarre image, showing Damian hiding behind giant sunglasses, featured on Liz’s official website.

The source added: “Liz suggested Damian pose in the bikini. Other people were uncomfortable with it but she insisted.”

The shocking snap comes after Liz’s leopardskin range was slated by politicians as being too raunchy for kids.

Last night Liz refused to comment on the picture.

Sometimes I think a requirement for being a celebrity must be a lack of common sense. Maybe Elizabeth had wanted a girl instead of a boy, or maybe she just didn’t want to spend the time or money to find a little girl to model the swimsuit. For whatever reason, she made a bad choice as a parent. Poor Damian - talk about having gender issues!

Hazel, I know you’ve already written about this, but I couldn’t resist putting my two cents worth in.

As you know, according to TMZ, there’s a sex tape of Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo that’s so hot . . . well it not only includes a hot tub make-out session, but a hot tub sex session that supposedly would make Paris’ sex tape look a little tame. The tape was made by some Mexican photographers hiding in bushes, in a tree or somewhere unseen by Lachey and Minnillo. So Nick’s lawyer is threatening lawsuits to anyone who publishes the tape. Check out TMZ to read the whole story.

I remember some of my own outdoor frolics in the not-so-distant past. I think most folks - at one time or another - have enjoyed some intimate moments out in nature. I’m sure glad there were no photographers around for my escapades! That’s the benefit of not being a celebrity, I guess.

For someone with the celebrity of Lachey and Minnillo, I agree with you, Hazel . . . GET A ROOM!

I never heard of Michelle Marsh till I saw this post over at Right Celebrity. Now I don’t think I’ll be able to forget her.

Michelle is a 24-year-old British model with unbelievably large NATURAL breasts! In fact, that’s what she’s known for.

It seems Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo got very relaxed in a not-so-private jacuzzi at a private resort in Mexico and got their pictures taken by an ambitious Mexican photo agency. Now they are trying to stop the publication of the hardcore pictures through their attorney.

Photos of a heavy make-out session in said jacuzzi have already been published in this week’s Life & Style magazine. These photos only show part of the action that happened that day in Mexico.

According to TMZ, the rest of the pictures show a lot more than just making out. In fact, they report the rest of the photos are hardcore photos of the couple in several different sex positions in the jacuzzi.

The couple have hired Hollywood attorney Marty Singer and he has sent written notification to various publications that they will face a tremendous lawsuit if they publish the pictures.

Singer told TMZ the photographer was “outrageous and malicious,” adding, “The photos that were taken of our clients by a Mexican photographer violated Mexican law and were a clear invasion of privacy, and we have threatened to take legal action against third parties who publish the photos.”

Woah! That sounds serious. I’m sure the photographer thought he’d just earned his retirement money, but the Hollywood legal system seems to have stopped him dead in his tracks.

The lesson here is to …. get. a. room.

A little scandal in the “Skating with Celebrities” world.

‘Skating With Celebrities’ star Kristy Swanson tells PEOPLE magazine that she didn’t break up the marriage between her skating partner Lloyd Eisler and his then-wife Marcia O’Brien.

Swanson, who gave birth to a son with Eisler last February, says “I’m not a homewrecker. Lloyd and Marcia were separated before I ever met him.”

The original ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ was paired with Eisler for the reality competition, and sparks flew. But their romance caused a stir, since Eisler’s wife was eight months pregnant at the time.

But the drama didn’t stop there. Police recently arrested Swanson for allegedly assaulting O’Brien. Swanson has since counter-sued, saying Eisler’s ex attacked her first.

“She attacked me, and I am confident that after the investigation is complete, the truth will come out,” Swanson tells the magazine.

Let me get this straight. Eisler’s wife was 8 months pregnant when he hooked up with Swanson - and now she’s has also had a baby with him. Don’t these celebrities know about birth control? Hazel, I swear this story reminds me of K-Fed and Britney. Some men seem driven to impregnate as many women as possible.

And as far as Swanson’s declaration that she’s not a homewrecker . . . it reminds me of what my dear old mother used to say: “Your actions are so loud, I can’t hear what you’re saying!”

And which was first: Dancing With The Stars or Skating With Celebrities?

Cyndi Lauper left a message for Britney Spears on her blog. She was reading Page Six and saw that Britney was joining her tour.

So the real story is:Britney was invited to perform in Las Vegas with us. No one representing Britney ever responded.
But here is the deal, Britt?? If ya hear this; you are welcome to come to the Greek. This is a good cause and I am grateful that the spirit moved ya doll. And if ya are coming, can you contact us..????
Though I don’t know you, you seem like a good kid. You are welcome.

Allie is Wired asks …

What is more curious, the fact that Cyndi Lauper reads Page Six, or that she thinks Britney seems like a good kid?

Good question!!!
