AS RUMORS GO THIS ONE'S THE MOTHER LODE: JENNIFER ANISTON IS REPORTEDLY PREGNANT. Prepare for the tabloid onslaught.
Everybody's favorite Mrs. Lonelyhearts, always detoured on love's highway, showed up at screening for HBO's Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory with a swollen belly. (And no, it was not the kind you get from being starving thin or suffering a bad case of gas.) For now, at least, Jen appears happily stuck at the hip with beau Justin Theroux whom she started dating last May, even plunking down $21 million for an 8,500-square-foot Mid-Century Modern mansion in Ooh La La Bel-Air, Calif. to reportedly nest with him.

Gossip Cop reports that Us Weekly is prepping a story claiming Hollywood hearthrob George Clooney doesn't like the lady love of his bro Brad Pitt.

LET'S CALL IT CELEBRITYGATE, AND BLAME THE MESSENGER FOR SPILLING A PROVOCATIVE SECRET: DR. DREW PINSKY thinks 'Brangelina' is destined to crash and burn.
In a moment of alleged unguardedness, the TV shrink deconstructed the steamy relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, insinuated that Angelina still uses heroin, and predicted a "nuclear" meltdown between the two.
"There's no such thing as 'I was a heroin addict.' That doesn't exist in nature,'' Pinsky told Huffington Post. "Something is going on with [her] addiction. Or she's in recovery. And I don't see any evidence that's the case. So we've got one person who's a heroin addict....We have another person who has said things like, "Well, Jennifer [Aniston] was into long-term relationships, that's just her way of looking at things." I mean, that demeaning attitude towards other people's emotions."

THE THING ABOUT ANGELINA JOLIE STARRING IN SPY THRILLERS? It's not a stretch to think that she's capable of conspiring to kill the president, shooting someone in the head, jumping on speeding 18-wheelers, walking on highrise ledges, dropping bombs and then taking a nookie break.

ONCE THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL COUPLE NAMED BRANGELINA.
They shared a name because neither was as important in the world without the other. They completed either other like peanut butter and jelly; like salt and pepper.
But dark forces conspired against them: age was approaching. And paparazzi were stealing forbidden glances inside their kingdom.
And what they found was shocking!: The perfect whole was a fraud! The couple fought like cats and dogs! Their breath smelled in the morning! And their feral children played with knives and ate candy at every meal.

THE LONG NIGHTMARE IS OVER FOR MISS LONELYHEARTS: The she-wolf that stole her husband is getting her comeuppance.
The world trembles that the singular Brangelina is once again merely "Brad" and "Angie," as speculation boils that the beauteous twosome is kaput.
And in an instant the the question becomes : Will Jennifer Aniston and Brad get back together?
It's too soon to predict, and our money is on 'no.' But what a satisfying twist to a torrid love story that began when Pitt and Jolie hooked up while starring opposite each other in the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
“And in an instant the question becomes: Will Jennifer Aniston and Brad get back together?
”
Shortly after the film role, Pitt divorced Jennifer, dubbed "America's sweetheart," and took up with the hypnotically dangerous Angelina, the girl who purportedly French-kissed her brother and wore vials of blood around her neck.

THE BIGGEST FAMEWHORES IN HOLLYWOOD have written a book on -- ta da! -- how to be a fame whore! Because what other identifiable skills do Heid Montagi and Spencer Pratt have?
The titillating reality TV twosome are sharing their secrets on fame mongering in How To Be Famous: Our Guide To Looking The Part, Playing The Press and Becoming a Tabloid Picture.
In their latest devious calculation, Speidi teaches how to "increase your capacity for evil," feed the public's appetite for plastic surgery stories and and "outrageous behavior," and share the "secrets of celebrity couple math."
And in the opinion of this immodest couple, no one better personifies the game than the Jolie-Pitts.
"We'd love to sit down and discuss fame with them," Speidi, answering as one, told Playboy.com. "Consider this your formal invitation, Brangelina. Let's hang out sometime. We'll be SpeidiLina!"
Ha! That's hil-ar-i-ous, you kooky kids!
The duo also frets in mock horror about possibly offending Hollywood's reigning prom queen and king.
"We wouldn't want to piss them off. She might steal Spencer -- you know, because she steals people's husbands!" Bada bing. Bada boom.
We can practically hear the hiss of revulsion that Speidi's effrontery provokes in Angelina. "How dare they!," we feel certain she roars. "They're not worthy of our spit!"

ARE BRAD AND ANGIE LOSING THEIR LUSTER?
Ang and Brad "Fight Like Cats And Dogs" one tab declares.
Another claims the sexpot carries on a "spiteful private war" against the former Mrs. Pitt.
And even uglier is her biographer's claim that Jolie "was recently using crystal meth."
Oh, how we do love to put our celebrities on pedestals just for the fun of dragging them down!
Even Ang's family has become fair game, specifically Zahara's hair.
In a Newsweek article, journalist Alison Samuels called the little girl's hair "bad," as well as “wild and unstyled, uncombed and dry."
I confess that not long ago, I too, was a grown woman hatin' on a sweet little girl's hair. It took Samuel's article for me to realize that I was really reacting, judging Zahara's hair by the standards I had accepted as my own.

AS THE DAYS COUNT DOWN TO THE MUCH BALLYHOOED JUNE 24TH RELEASE OF Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the buzz is all about sexpot Megan Fox and whether she's the next Angelina.
There's the media created "war" between Fox and long-reigning vixen Jolie as the younger starlet is whispered to be Jolie's replacement in the Tomb Raider series.
There's side-by-side photographic comparisons of the two beauty A-listers.
There's even online guessing games comparing leggy red carpet styles -- all of which Fox dismisses in a recent Entertainment Weekly interview.
"Because I have tattoos and dark hair and I was in an action movie? That's as far as the similarities extend," she pooh-poohs. "I'm not the next anyone. I'm sure she has no idea who I am."
Then Megan lets her Freudian slip show by adding, "But if I were her, I'd be like, "Who the f--- is this little bulls--- brat who was in Transformers that's going to be the next me?"

I recently was flipping through a stack of People mags at my dentist's office, the only pleasure I derive from that annual appointment other than the secret hope for nitrous oxide.
I picked up the issue with Jennifer Hudson’s heartbreaking family tragedy on the cover. In the upper right-hand corner there is a smiling Mother Theresa surrounded by Afghani refugee children. Hmm, that’s funny, I remember Mother Theresa looking a lot older and leathered.
I look closer.
Ooh, silly me, that’s not Mother Theresa --- it’s Angelina Jolie!
“EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS!” Shouts the headline. “Angelina: Her Secret War Zone Visit.”
Everyone’s most beloved and photographed Goodwill Ambassador is back! It’s a good thing that someone had the good sense to bring cameras along on this secret mission; otherwise no one would see exclusive photos of St. Angelina that People miraculously managed to obtain. (Brad, are you selling snaps again?)
I admit: I am impressed. There’s an extremely flattering photo of Angelina smiling with three radiantly needy refugee children. The caption reads: “Admiring the ‘courage’ and ‘resilience’ of the returnees.”
Might I add that I admire Angelina’s choice of minimal make-up for the shoot? A very nice, subtle, smoke-around-the-eyes look that doesn’t seem obviously made-up, which helps to stress the seriousness of the situation.
The next two photos are of a burdened “Angel”-ina gently touching the arm of a boy suffering from malaria; the boy is covered in flies.

IF THERE WAS A CARD FOR LA LECHE LEAGUE MEMBERS, I WOULD TOTE IT. So it should come as no surprise that I am awestruck by the beauty of W magazine’s cover of Angelina Jolie nursing one of her twins.
In the picture, said to be taken by Brad Pitt himself, Angelina has one side of her night gown pulled down as though an infant is suckling just out of sight.
This latest publicity campaign is a continuation of Angelina’s boobie bravado, first seen when she revealed her nursing bra under a tank top in a photo with a wee Shiloh in People.
For me, though, this latest photo is salve to the provocative photographs that W published in 2005 of Brad and Angelina. Posing as a large and lustful family, the pictures came out when “Brangelina” was still a new – and unwelcome -- public concept. The latest snaps of Angelina as the actual mother to Brad’s children comes off as a satisfied “I told you so” to the people who doubted their relationship in the beginning.
I also find it daring of the Jolie-Pitts, since breastfeeding seems perpetually controversial. While Angelina looks like the Madonna herself on her newest cover, Jamie Lynn Spear’s stolen breastfeeding pictures are considered pornography because she’s a minor. What is wrong with Americans’ view of women when Hollywood careers are built by women baring breasts, but a young mother can’t safely be photographed feeding her infant? As a spokesperson for La Leche League told the AP, there’s more skin shown on the red carpet than on Ang's W cover, as well as by ordinary mothers when breastfeeding .
Will Angelina and Jamie Lynn help boost the breastfeeding cause? Already, nursing is reaching record numbers in the United States. That number would go higher if PETA had its way; the animal rights group recently suggested that mothers “donate” their breast milk to Ben and Jerry’s for ice cream.
So now we have the dueling messages that it’s pornographic for a 16-year-old to be photographed nursing her baby -- but that the succor that supports life also makes great shakes? PETA’s psychosis only further feeds the misunderstanding of women’s bodies in our country.
Breasts are made to feed babies. Whether flashed on the red carpet, used as weapons of exaggerated activism, or to nurse the newborns of unwed startlets, that is their one, true purpose. The peace in Angelina’s W magazine cover attests to that.

WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES A MAN, OR A WOMAN, FALLS OUT OF LOVE WITH THEIR SPOUSE, MEETS ANOTHER WHOM THEY FEEL IS THEIR 'SOULMATE,' AND DECIDES TO DUMP THE FIRST BRIDE AND GET ON WITH THEIR LIVES.
At first, Crabby fell into the camp that thought Brad Pitt wasn't wrong to jettison his "best friend" Jennifer Aniston in exchange for dark angel Angelina Jolie, rumored to have teased Brad mercilessly on the set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." He took his time deciding whether to ditch the wife, with BFF Courtney Cox and hubby David Arquette admitting that Pitt resisted the temptation as long as he could.
But it's been more than three years since Pitt called it quits then hooked up with the ho Angelina Jolie. And Crabby is using the word figuratively not literally. But am I the only one who thinks that these two narciccus are out of control? Collecting babies like they're puppies? Cavorting around the world with children in tow? Selling baby pictures for $14 million? Posing for dollars in the current People magazine? Does the word "over-exposed" mean anything to these two? Does the word 'decorum' hold any meaning for this gypsy woman? Or is the world one big mirror through which they can arouse themselves?
I've got to lay most of the blame at the feet of Ang. Brad, for god sake's, has been engaged to nearly every single woman he's ever dated, among them Juliette Lewis and Gwynneth Paltrow. Does the phrase P-whipped mean anything to you?
We are thrilled, overjoyed, orgasmic (cause isn't that how they want us to be?) that the world now has improved DNA through the blessed births of Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox. Now, Brad, Angelina, go away, will you? Please? And a special aside to Jennifer: forget the ring, get on John Mayer's stick and cook up a baby. Mayer's a tall cutie and you can make a beautiful baby. And when the Jolie-Pitt kids start getting arrested for driving drunk at 14, you'll thank your lucky stars that God blessed you with normalcy.

THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE! The much-anticipated births of the Brangelina twins have arrived, reportedly arriving about 8 p.m. in a hospital situated along the rocky beaches of Nice in southern France.
The wee ones, anointed Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon, arrived in the world at the very, very, top of Status Mountain.
There has been wild speculation that the first photos of Viv and Knox, as they are fated to be called, could fetch as much as $15 million. But several media outlets are reporting that the paparazzi's First Family have already contracted the photos for $11 million. Crabby's betting that publication will be by the celeb-enabling People.
We predict that the Jolie-Pitts will soon appear looking like perfection itself in a magazine photo spread, and then disappear from the face of the earth for at least six months as St. Ang. and Father Brad resign themselves to the massive undertaking they've created: raising a brood of six!
But enough from Crabby! There are more important things to reveal, like what does the twins' astrological chart predict about their futures? Crabby asked the stars so you don't have to wait to find out. And here is what the computer spit out:
Rising Sign in Capricorn
Practical and reserved, but very ambitious. An achiever and a hard worker, you respect success. Older looking and very serious as a youth, things lighten up and you relax more as you mature. You have a serious view of the world as being a difficult place to be in. Very envious of those who seem to have an easier life than you have, relaxation and play do not come easily. It is important that you had abundant parental support as a child so that you do not feel lonely and isolated as an adult. Generally, you have a good, earthy sense of humor that can carry you through when times really do get tough. You are purposeful, self-willed, industrious, realistic and responsible.
Sun in Cancer
Very emotional and sensitive, you have an intuitive understanding of the "vibes" around you. You tend to be quite generous, giving, loving and caring, but only when your own needs for emotional support, love and security have been met. If they are not met, you tend to withdraw into yourself and become very insecure and selfish. Your home and family (especially your mother or the person who played that role for you early on) represent security for you and thus assume a larger-than-life importance. Very sentimental, you have vivid and long- enduring memories of the past. No matter how well adjusted you are, you will always need a secret quiet place of your own in order to feel at peace. Feeding others can give you great pleasure you would enjoy being part of a large family.
Moon in Scorpio

I should be grateful to see the snaps of Your Handsome. But for some reason I'm getting cranky. Hmmm, let me thing about this for a minute. Is there a reason Mr. Brad wants us all to think of him as Mr. Nice Guy? Could it be because he wants us all to run out and see his new movie "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."? I'm sure Braddie Boy hopes that his good deeds land a bigger box office than Saint Angelina's did with her performance in "A Mighty Heart." Try as the media did to get viewers out to pay homage to one of their own, the movie grossed $4 million in its opening weekend. And nary a nasty word from the media big boys. It pays to be pretty and well connected and to earn those boys money when they post your picture!
On another entirely different note, seems Senator Larry Craig (and not the Larry alleged to have done nasty deeds with former media pariah of the moment, Howard Stern of Anna Nicole fame) is rumored to be considering fighting the allegation that he solicited an undercover cop for sex in a Minnesota airport. Yes, yes, yes. I want to see this happen: His career is over no matter what. But just think of what he'll do to quash such arrests in the future. I want to hear testimony from the "experts" that playing footsie and waving underneath a toilet stall is indisputable evidence of solicitation for sex. I want this example of lawlessness to go to a jury trial, and I want to hear some jury foreman say, "Yes, a wave underneath the john is evidence of a crime." I think Mr. Craig might be on to something as he solicits opinion by releasing his trial balloon on an abrupt change of hear to quit the Senate. Do us all a favor, Senator, will you? Now that you're out of the closet, or at least out of the stall, please follow Arlen Spector's advice. (God love this Republican. And why is he a Republican? Doesn't he know there is no such thing any longer as a moderate Republican?" )
