Brittany Murphy Dead at 32! We wish her family and friends our deepest condolences.

On Sunday, December 20, 2009 Brittany Murphy died early morning after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived.

She was pronounced dead on arrival at 10:04AM at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after going into cardiac arrest.

Two Friday’s in a row and we get to say bye bye to baby bumps! Kourtney Kardashian is seen here in all her preggo glory with baby daddy Scott Disick to go shopping in Beverly Hills recently, and it was only days after this baby bumping shopping that Kourtney’s wee one gave her the green light. I guess we’ll need a new name for this Kardashian sister instead of “the pregnant one,” because Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick have welcomed a son. But even we can’t begrudge a baby at Christmas, and their little one was seven pounds, six ounces, and is named Mason Dash Disick. Dash is also the name of the Kardashians’ boutique in Los Angeles and Miami (so hopefully he doesn’t mind being associated with slutty clubwear). Until recently, Kourtney expected to breast-feed for the next five years, so instead of the customary “congratulations,” allow me to wish this baby a plucky “I just know you’ll somehow survive!” What else can we say? Congratulations, Kourtney and Scott, and Merry Christmas as well. And Happy B irthday and welcome to the world little Mason!

Lindsay Lohan is seen here looking like she doesn’t have a care in the world as she poses for the cameras at the Nu Pop Movement Party at Kitson in West Hollywood. And judging by recent news, it may well be that she doesn’t have a care in the world at all, as justice may be served to her media hungry daddy. It is no secret that Lilo has been in restraining order court more than once on her dad, and it sounds like one of his other restraining order parties has had enough of him as well.Michael Lohan, the man who makes his daughter Lindsay look like Hillary Rodham Clinton, but, you know, (whisper voice) more ginger, was arrested on Monday for breaking a restraining order against his ex-fiancé Erin Muller. Michael is banned from contacting Erin after she accused him of threatening to kill her and himself when they broke up. He denied this, but then again, he denies a lot of things. He was reported to be in jail under criminal contempt charges. But in the Lohan universe, he was never arrested at all. The police must just PhotoShop up mug shots of him for their own sick amusement, right, since a mug shot of him is circulating the internet like wildfire. But HE says:

“I was not arrested. Erin and I had an argument. She has an ongoing order of protection against me. She called and said I violated it by making a phone call to her. I went down there today and saw the judge and I handled it and that was it.”

Well that explains everything. Wait, no it doesn’t! But since I really don’t want to encourage Michael Lohan to speak more, I’m at peace with ending this here. In response to the debacle, Lindsay tweeted, “the stills ‘don’t talk down’ Oceans will Rise-download it :).” Because if she wants to draw attention to her personal life, she certainly doesn’t need Michael Lohan’s help. But as she says frequently, if he heads back to his home away from home, the slammer, then so be it.

It’s always a little weird when the Playboy bunnies go and get real lives that have some productivity in it, but we do smile for Kendra as it was just this morning when she became a mommy. Yes, the baby bump that has been mysteriously hidden away from the cameras is no longer, as Kendra Wilkinson gave birth to son Hank Baskett IV by caesarean section this morning. The former Playboy Playmate welcomed Hank Baskett IV – her son with American footballer husband Hank Baskett – after undergoing a caesarean section at 12.37am at a hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana. The new arrival – who was two weeks premature – weighed 9lb 5oz and measured 22 inches long. The couple issued a statement saying:

“We are all healthy and incredibly happy and can’t wait to spend every moment with little Hank.”

Kendra’s ex-boyfriend Playboy founder Hugh Hefner is delighted by the news, naturally, as if he would say anything but.

“I send my love to Kendra, Hank and the baby on this memorable day. What a wonderful Christmas present.”

Her friends and fellow former Playmates Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt also offered their best wishes. Holly said: “I can’t wait to meet little Hank. I am so excited for Kendra and Hank. They are going to have the best holiday ever!” Bridget said in an email to E! Online: “This is what I call a Christmas gift that will keep on giving (and taking… lol)! I wish both of them and little Hank Jr. a lifetime of joy and happiness! The only things I wonder… Can I help plan the birthday parties and how will they top this gift next Christmas??? (sic)” Can she plan the birthday parties? Isn’t that the joy of motherhood? Maybe Kendra and Bridget haven’t quite stopped the bickering after all.

Yes, we’ve been waiting for Fergie to break the news that she is a mommy to be, as The Black Eyed Peas’ singer has admitted that she is ready to expand her family beyond herself, her husband, and her husband’s stripper. However, the Fergie bumpwatch is going on hiatus for the next five months. I know, I know, her pregnancy rumours enrich our lives, but we’ll just have to find something else to turn to, like alcoholism. The singer is touring with the Black Eyed Peas until their last show in Vancouver on April 11, and after that she’s going to get her baby on with husband Josh Duhamel. Until then, if you’re wondering if the bio clock has been making her a little antsy? Oh yes. But the word “broody” seems to be a more apropos term for this on the other side of the pond.

“Am I getting broody? Oh, definitely! But I want to finish this tour first before trying to start a family.”
Currently she hasn’t seen Josh for about a month, which is not believed to be the best strategy for getting pregnant. Fergie says she misses Josh, who she married last January. This has led to unspeakable acts of depravity from Fergie, like eating bread.

“At home I have a diet meal delivery service, but on tour I order room service, and while I try to have healthy options, it still comes with bread and butter. And sometimes it’s too hard for me to resist!”

I guess she forgot that you can actually ask to have the meal come without butter. These celebrities. Again with the bread defamation. I’m not arguing that all Fergie’s discipline and workin’ on her fitness hasn’t rewarded her with a body all trannies envy. But it’s bread! Even prisoners get it! She’ll need to be loading up on those starches if she plans on growing a baby bump this August anyway. Go ahead Fergie, have some bread, we won’t tell. Much.

Ah yes, Jon Gosselin has finally been forced to shut up to the media. For some, this means Christmas comes early as the reality dad gets legally barred from making any more media appearances. TLC may be the victor, but really, we’re all winners here. Jon Gosselin was banned from making media appearances, as per the contract he signed with the lifestyle network for Jon & Kate Plus Eight. TLC Chief Operating Officer Edward Sabin testified that Jon messed with the network’s mom-friendly reputation by hosting a pool party in Vegas in August.

“It made the show look bad. Photos of Jon Gosselin with scores of bikini-clad women was inconsistent with our image brand of our show.”

Do you think? It was also inconsistent with my concept of what types of men dozens of women will fawn over. Jon was supposed to testify, but instead skipped the Maryland court date. So we didn’t get to hear his argument, but the gist of it is he feels like the attention his celebrity status inexplicably attracts kept him from getting work doing anything outside the famewhore industry (posing with milkshakes, getting into arguments with Nancy Grace). Naturally, his summer flings Hailey Glassman and Kate Major testified against him. Kate, who travelled with Jon to the Hamptons to meet with Michael Lohan about doing an apocalypse-triggering reality series called The Divorced Dads’ Club together, said he knew the side-deal would violate his contract. “At that point he just didn’t care,” she said. Judaserella! And from the other side of the girls tent, Hailey, a 22-year-old who stayed with Jon even as he was linked to multiple other women, basically summed up TLC’s argument for them. “He was like a child,” she said. “‘How come Kate can do this and not me?’ Because they can control Kate’s mouth.” That mouth was in action the evening before the court hearing, as part of Barbara Walters’ annual Ten Most Fascinating People special. The TLC-approved mom reiterated that there’s no way to resurrect their marriage after the series of (frequently female) scandals that broke over the summer. But that doesn’t mean there is no love lost for poor Kate.

“I love the Jon that I remember. The Jon that I knew. The Jon who brought our kids home from the hospital. The Jon who used to be the bath man and the bedtime guy.”

But the Jon taking meetings with Michael Lohan? Even Michael Lohan must have been like “this guy has hit a new low.” Or not, we are talking about Michael Lohan here.
