Pregnancy Test

When Mariah Carey refuses champagne, is it because: "I only drink after 3 p.m." or "champagne's just fattening" or because Ellen DeGeneres is trying to trick her into admitting she's pregnant. "This is peer pressure!" Mariah said, still not drinking. Here's to privacy, Mimi! (And good luck with the kid.)

Tots And the City

There might be hazards to raising your kids in New York City, but how about naming them after an outer borough? Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz just welcomed a baby boy—Bronx. At least he got a tough-sounding borough. David Beckham's eldest got saddled with Brooklyn, land of lattes and hipsters. Could have been worse: they could have called him Queens.

Tears For Spears
11/22/2008 12:00:00 AM
Britney Spears is sad. Really sad. So we see in "Britney: For the Record," a new MTV doc that trails the beleaguered star as she tries to reboot her life. She starts her mornings with a bowl of Velveeta cheese and grits—"breakfast of champions," her father Jamie calls it— and it's all kind of downhill from there. Lots of crying. Lots of silence. The result is as sunny as Kafka: "I totally lost my way," she says. Sad but true.

Elton John is such a whiner, his boyfriend once made a film about him called "Tantrums & Tiaras." The latest: a spat with Lily Allen—something about drinking and snorting at an award show. Some of John's Greatest Snits:

The Hot New Celeb? Sarah!

Barack Obama seemed to be the biggest celebrity in the world—until Sarah Palin came along. If you've got any doubt, just look at the covers of this week's top celebrity tabloids. Us Weekly has Palin cradling her 5-month-old newborn Trig, with the tawdry headline BABIES, LIES AND SCANDAL. OK Magazine has almost the exact same photo, with the more sympathetic angle: A MOTHER'S PAINFUL CHOICE. And Palin gave her first exclusive interview to People magazine, which reports on "Sarah Palin's Family Drama," including the pregnancy of her 17-year-old daughter Bristol. The way in which all these magazines are covering Palin, you'd think she was related to Britney Spears, not possibly the next vice president of the United States. But that's exactly the point.

"He didn't. I still remember the day I picked up my latest copy of Tiger Beat from my mailbox. Oh yes, I was a longtime subscriber to that and 16 (bless my mom for understanding the need to feed my devotion). I opened the latest issue and whizzed past the far-too-many David Cassidy articles—phfffft—and read the story that my Mr. Perfect, my man, had quietly and suddenly married. My crush had crushed me. How could he do this to me? He didn't call. He didn't write. Who is this hussy he married? What do you mean they're expecting a baby? He just got married. How does that happen? Yup. I was very young but I remember handling the news with all the maturity an 8-year-old could muster. I didn't sob. I didn't kick down doors. I just did what most young girls do when their idol moves on; I did too."
