Prince William and Kate Middleton Enjoy Caribbean Splash


Before he endures some rigorous special-forces training, Prince William let his hair down with a bit of island R&R alongside girlfriend Kate Middleton.

The pair, who after six years together still continue dating amid growing speculation of their being a royal engagement, were spotted in the Caribbean frolicking aboard a speedboat with pals.

Middleton, 26, waterskiied and relaxed in a black and white bikini, while Wills, also 26, chilled in blue board shorts.

“They only planned on a week there, which is a bit unusual, as they still have some time together before he continues military training,” a royal insider says.

The two hooked up amid the luxurious surroundings of a villa on Mustique, an exclusive West Indies island. According to Britain’s Mail on Sunday, the couple spent a week at a villa owned by a Venezuelan millionairess.

Security protection was heavy for the vacationers. In addition to his usual bodyguards, William had the added protection of a local coast-guard vessel that cruised the waters – and rumbled at at least one boatload of paparazzi.

Now believed to be back in Britain, the pair are expected to socialize further.

“Because he has been away for quite a while now there will be lots of catching up with their group of friends in England,” says the insider. “Summer is still the time of fun.”

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Welcome a Baby Girl


Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, have welcomed their first child together, a daughter named Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, born Monday morning in Nashville.

“Husband Keith was by Nicole’s side, and mother and baby are very well,” said spokesman Paul Freundlich, who added that the couple were “delighted” to make the announcement. He also said the baby girl weighed 6 lbs., 7.5 oz.

The pregnancy was first announced in January. Kidman has two other children with her former husband Tom Cruise: Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13.

In the days leading up to the birth, the couple – who celebrated their second wedding anniversary on June 25 – didn’t stray from their normal routine in and around Nashville, where they reside in a gated community.

From early morning stops at a local Starbucks for warm drinks to a little sweat at the gym later in the day (Kidman was a regular at spin and yoga classes during her pregnancy), the couple remained low-key.

“She’s never been happier and healthier,” says a close family friend. “She is absolutely radiant and enjoying nesting and homemaking with Keith at their new home in Nashville.”

But getting ready for their baby was a priority. Urban admitted he was learning a new vocabulary for fatherhood and doing Lamaze lessons. “He doesn’t know the name [of the classes], but he has been very good at it!” Kidman told a local radio station on June 24.

The new parents also bought a couple of books to help them along: Pocket Dad: Everyday Wisdom and Your Pregnancy, Week By Week.

“The unknown excites me a lot,” Urban told reporters in May. “What kind of feelings will fatherhood bring? I’m sure I can’t even imagine, but I am really looking forward to finding out.”

Lawyer Says A-Rod and Madonna Had ‘An Affair of the Heart’


Alex Rodriguez’s relationship with Madonna was “an affair of the heart” – not “sexual infidelity” – according to Cynthia Rodriguez’s lawyer.

Still, the baseball star’s relationship with the singer “was the last straw” before the Yankee slugger’s wife filed for divorce Monday, her Houston attorney, Earle Lilly, said.

Lilly says that A-Rod was smitten with Madonna, but makes no claim of any sexual liaison. “The correct analysis is a relationship,” he says. “Some people categorize an affair as something as sexual infidelity. We’re not claming that. It’s an affair of the heart.”

Over the weekend, Madonna issued a statement denying a romantic relationship with the baseball star, saying, “I have nothing to do with the state of his marriage.”

In fact, “Madonna’s name is not even mentioned in the papers,” says Lilly. “We don’t want the public to think this is an aggressive action against Madonna.”

Still, Lilly maintains that A-Rod has behaved badly for “a good while” and his client, Cynthia Rodriguez, has had enough. “She’s just a Greek Orthodox lady who has had as much as she can take,” he says.

Shortly before 9 a.m. Monday, Cynthia’s Miami attorney Maurice Kutner filed the divorce petition.

“This is an action for dissolution of marriage, which is being filed only after [Cynthia Rodriguez] has exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage of the parties,” the document reads. “However, Alex has emotionally abandoned his wife and children and has left her with no choice but to divorce him.”

Without naming any names, the document states, “The marriage of the parties is irretrievably broken because of the husband’s extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct.”

The couple were married Nov. 2, 2002 in Dallas. They have two daughters, Natasha, 3, and Ella, 2 months.

Both Lilly and Kutner maintain that their client hopes to settle the divorce as amicably as possible.

“Cynthia has made it very clear to me that she wants to take the high road and protect her children and herself,” Kutner said shortly after filing the papers. “She wants to resolve the issues between Alex and herself in an amicable fashion.”

Pussycat Dolls debut brand new video, and abs.


The Pussycat Dolls launched their new video, When I Grow Up. I watched the video this morning and can honestly say it made me start growing…..up. Of course, Youtube doesn’t have the video anymore because the Pussycat Dolls had the video removed. Lame. Anyways, there is no sign of Britney Spears, as was previously reported. Be thankful, Britney’s abs just can’t compete.

Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee are going for 801 tries.


Cats have nine lives. Apparently Pam and Tommy Lee have 801 relationship shots.
Rolling Stone says, “Pamela and the kids have moved in with me,” said a beaming Tommy Lee. “It’s awesome, man. It’s definitely working. You can tell on the kids’ faces — they’re happy when we’re together. We’ve only given it a try 800 times — 801, here we go.”
While Tommy Lee could be dating multiple 20 year old bar fly chicks, he decided to go where his heart is and relive old Baywatch days with an aging bull. Oh well Tommy, what can you do?

Kim and Chloe Kardashian go for a swim.


Kim and Chloe Kardashian did some bikini modeling on their recent Monaco trip. Ah to be two rich and sexy sisters. Looks as though Kim is attempting to dispell rumors that she has a butt insert or pad. My question is, who cares? Her butt looks sexy as hell, lets just move on. I say shake it baby cause you got it. And Chloe looks gorgeous as usual. Oh the things I would do….

Rihanna and Mr. Bean on Youtube.

I really don’t know how I feel about this, but this Mr. Bean and Rihanna video is blowing up on Youtube, so I figure it should be discussed.
I think it’s weird. That’s my contribution to the discussion. Anyone remember when Mr. Bean was really funny? Yeah, me neither. Anyone still think Rihanna is sexy has all hell? Yeah, as do I.
For your viewing pleasure.

Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish Step Out


Two months after admitting it was bizarre seeing ex-wife Reese Witherspoon with Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Phillippe is quietly moving things forward in his own love life.

After months of speculation about their relationship, he proudly accompanied his Stop-Loss costar Abbie Cornish to the 2008 Australian in Film Breakthrough Awards – their first major event as a couple.

“They were adorable,” says a guest. “He had his arm around her and they were cozy and comfortable.”

When Cornish – who was being honored with a Breakthrough Award – was introduced, Phillippe rubbed her back while she leaned against his shoulder. Throughout the evening, they held hands.

Phillippe, 33, also let Cornish enjoy her moment in the spotlight, waiting patiently as she worked the room and posed for photos. Once she was at his side once again, they continued to share laughs with pals.

The secret to Cornish’s appeal? “We needed a girl who could knock back and drink the guys under the table, change a blown tire, whatever she needs to do,” their Stop-Loss director, Kimberly Pierce, says. “And she has that. She’s that kind of girl.”

A second Breakthrough Award went to actress Mia Wasikowska for her work in the HBO series In Treatment.

Phillippe and Cornish left the party just before 10 p.m., heading to Hennessy’s weekly jazz night at Teddy’s.

Kate and Lance Dance and Kiss in Cannes


Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong only had eyes for each other at Dolce & Gabbana’s annual party in Cannes Friday.

The pair kissed and danced to old Madonna songs and other ’80s favorites. “They were beaming at each other,” a source tells says. “So cute.”

In a VIP room so packed that Petra Nemcova couldn’t get in, Hudson and Armstrong chatted briefly with Cannes juror Natalie Portman, who was holding hands with her folk-rocker beau Devendra Banhart. (Unlike all the other female celebrity guests, Portman wore Chanel because she decided to come to the party at the last minute.)

Other guests at the packed party, held at Baoli restaurant and club, included Lindsay Lohan (who made a brief appearance in the briefest of green dresses), Rose McGowan (who partied until 5:30 am, broken foot and all), Kerry Washington, Naomi Campbell, Dita von Teese and Diddy.

Brad and Angelina’s Star-Studded Dinner Date


The Jolie-Pitts left their brood at home Monday night for a leisurely dinner on the Cotes d’Azur with Clint Eastwood and Mick Jagger.

Brad Pitt, 44, and Angelina Jolie, 32, joined their celebrity pals and about eight other guests – including Rush Hour director Brett Ratner – for an evening of bouillabaisse, grilled langouste (warm-water lobster) and white wine.

The group arrived at Restaurant Tetou in Golfe-Juan – about three miles from Cannes – at around 8:30 p.m. Rolling Stone Mick Jagger, 64, was the first to leave, and the whole party broke up around midnight.

“Angelina and Brad are adorable,” a waitress says. “They are so in love. The whole table was super nice.”

Film legend Eastwood, 77, directed Jolie in Changeling, which premieres at the Cannes Film Festival Tuesday. (Jolie and Pitt are expected to walk the red carpet.)

Earlier in the day, the couple – who are expecting twins – nipped out for some baby clothes shopping.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer Get Cozy Poolside


After saying he’s a guy “living his life” when photos of him and Jennifer Aniston surfaced, John Mayer continued to do just that. The hot new couple relaxed at the Manadrin Oriental Hotel in Miami Saturday, eating, chatting – and smooching – poolside.

Aniston, who is wrapping up the Miami portion of her new film Marley & Me with Owen Wilson, sat in side-by-side lounge chairs with Mayer, eating salads and talking softly with one another. At one point the singer, 30, whispered into Aniston’s ear, sparking a smile from the actress, 39.

Their quality time didn’t end there. Mayer and Aniston also attended the Miami wrap party Saturday night at NIkki Coconut Grove. Mayer shielded Aniston from photographers as she climbed out of the car. The couple kissed throughout the evening, enjoying ’80s music provided by the party’s DJ before calling it a night.
