Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The tabloids are full of stories speculating that Nicole Kidman is pregnant. The "evidence" seems to be a slightly enlarged midsection that comes and goes in paparazzi photos. Well, kids, my sources who know Nicole and know the score say it’s highly unlikely. "First do the math," says a source, "Nicole and [husband] Keith Urban haven’t been together that much recently. He’s going to be in rehab for a while longer in California. She’s making a movie in London." Then my insiders point out that Kidman has a very heavy film schedule set in stone for 2007. She starts Baz Luhrmann’s "Australia" in about three months, when — if the rumors were true — she’d be five months along. "Australia" has already been postponed once, and it’s not going to happen again. Kidman also has two or more projects which will be announced soon, I am told. There’s no time for kids.

Oh well, until the next time it is rumored.

Babyshambles are to play a show in a London department store car park. The band will perform in the seventh floor car park of the Oxford Street store Selfridges on December 7 at 1pm, and will be introduced onstage by members of punk legends the Sex Pistols. The event follows the appointment of Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty as the new face and inspiration behind the Gio-Goi range, and the gig will mark the official launch of the Spring Summer 2007 collection.

Human rights organizations will help decide whether Madonna is fit to adopt a Malawian toddler, a judge ruled Wednesday. Judge Andrew Nyirenda ruled in favor of a coalition of 67 Malawian human rights and child advocacy groups who want to be party to the assessment of the 48-year-old pop singer’s fitness as a mother. On Oct. 12, Nyirenda granted Madonna and her husband, filmmaker Guy Ritchie, an interim order allowing them to take initial custody of 14-month-old David Banda. The couple were allowed to take David to their London home. Malawi regulations stipulate that prospective parents undergo an 18-to 24-month assessment period in the country. The rights groups, saying they were concerned the government had cut legal corners to fast-track the adoption, said regulations must be followed to protect children. "I must stress that all along we have not been against the adoption but we only wanted Malawi’s adoption laws clarified and followed to the letter," said Justin Dzonzi, a lawyer and chairman of the Human Rights Consultative Commission. "Today’s ruling gives us the opportunity to clear (up) some gray areas surrounding adoption laws in Malawi." Nyirenda said in his written order that he saw no reason to refuse the rights groups’ application. "I believe the applicants mean well and this court will certainly benefit from the applicants’ researched opinions," he said. The organizations will now be part of the government’s first assessment of Madonna and Ritchie, expected next May. In a country ravaged by AIDS, an estimated 2 million children have lost one or both parents and hundreds are adopted by foreigners every year. Madonna’s adoption bid coincided with her larger project to help Malawian orphans. The human rights groups have argued that Malawi needs to ensure the adoption process cannot be exploited by pedophiles or child traffickers.

Sounds like she might lose David if they tried this hard to make the decision whether or not she could adopt him?

Geri Halliwell has pointed the finger at former bandmate Mel B for preventing the rumoured Spice Girls reunion for Live8 from taking place. "We were all ready apart from Mel B," explained Ginger Spice in an interview with OK! magazine. "Victoria said maybe it’s time to move on and I think she’s got a point." However, Halliwell – now mother to a six-month old daughter – refused to definitively quash all hope of a future reunion: "Maybe it’s better to keep the Spice Girls as a memory but never say never. A taxi driver said to me we could still do a reunion even if one of us didn’t want to do it."
