Heidi Klum Pregnant
In Touch Weekly and "E! News" have both confirmed that supermodel Heidi Klum is pregnant with her fourth child. The German Victoria's Secret model has two kids with her husband, British pop star Seal. The pregnancy should not affect Klum's role as host of Lifetime's "Project Runway." At the age of 36 though, having another child could mean the end of Klum's modeling career.

Idol Judges Save Matt
Matt Giraud, a judge-favorite on season nine of "American Idol" was eliminated last night. Oh yeah, he was brought back as well. Under new Idol rules, the judges have the power to save one contestant from being eliminated. This means that next week, Idol fans will see two contestants go home instead of just one. The song that almost sent Matt packing was "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?" by Bryan Adams.

Drama on the Set of "The Hills"...wait is that news?
Well, season five of "The Hills" has started. And don't consider it anything but juicy (OK maybe consider it scripted and played-out, but juicy nonetheless). Spencer and Heidi are fighting - shocker. Lauren is single and boring - shocker. Audrina might have a thing for Brody Jenner, who is dating playmate Jayde Nicole - OK now that might be a little interesting. But the worst part: no Whitney. "The Hills" might have run its course, even star LC says she won't be returning for a sixth season.

A-Rod Dating a Housewife From New York
You try to date Madonna, and that doesn't work out too well. So what's your next act? Hook-up with a Bravo reality television star, of course. Oh Alex Rodriguez, thank you for never being boring. Rumors that the third baseman is seeing Bethenny Frankel, star of "The Real Housewives of New York," have made their rounds through the Internet. To no one's surprise, both parties have denied the rumors (Rodriguez also denied ever knowing Madonna).

Mel Gibson's Wife Files for Divorce

After 28 years of marriage, Mel Gibson's wife, Robyn has served the legendary actor with divorce papers. Robyn cites "irreconcilable differences." The pair have seven children together, but only one minor, of whom Robyn requested full custody. The pair didn't sign a prenuptial agreement before the wedding, so Robyn should be entitled to half of all income Gibson has made throughout their marriage (practically his whole career).

Jamie Foxx Attacks Miley on Air

After a caller on Jamie Foxx's Sirius Radio show mentioned Miley Cyrus, he insulted the Disney starlet for several minutes. He first questioned who she was, and upon realizing, he said "oh the one with the gums." "Let me get an order of mouth, light on the teeth, heavy on the gums," he said. He also advised the starlet to put some crack in her pipe, and "get like Britney Spears." The next day, after criticism from Miley's father, Billy Ray, Foxx issued an apology.

Guess Who's Back?
Back again, Shady's back, tell a friend. Eminem is in full comeback mode, after releasing a single and video for his new song "We Made You" last Tuesday. The song name-drops everyone from Britney Spears to Ellen DeGeneres. Since the release of the video, Em has been on a publicity tirade, appearing on the cover of hip-hop magazine XXL and calling into several radio stations to introduce his new single.

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha, at it Again
How many times will Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson break up? I'm not entirely sure, but this latest one doesn't seem like it's going to stick. Major drama went down after Ronson's family considered filing restraining orders against Lindsay last week. Then, Lindsay told a paparazzo from celebrity Web site X17 that she and Sam were "on a break, it's normal." On Monday, Sam told the same paparazzi group that she "misses Lindsay." Interestingly enough, Lindsay recorded an eHarmony profile with funnyordie.com where she spoofs her latest break up with Sam.

Whitney Quits
Whitney Port famously left "The Hills" for "The City." But this week, Port quit her job at the Diane Von Furstenberg fashion house. Predictably, the media-shy Whitney hasn't released any more details regarding her career. Could this mean a return to "The Hills" for Whitney?
