Honey, Did You Remember My Passport?

Their Dec. 23 nuptials in snowy Park City, Utah, might have been "incredible and beautiful" – according to T.R. Knight – but Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley's Mexican honeymoon got off to a rocky start, a source tells PEOPLE. 

First, the Grey's Anatomy star forgot her passport, so "the happy couple could not fly directly to Cabo," says the source. Instead, the two had to stop over in California first. 

But things brightened considerably when the couple made it to Mexico. Kelley, 27, enjoyed some tee time, the source reports, while Heigl, 29, soaked up the sun. 

And by Friday, the happy twosome was spotted poolside as Kelley serenaded her new bride – and friends – with songs from his upcoming album.

I Like Hanks Even More Now

from contact...

TOM HANKS is happy with his "nice guy" persona because he's confident he lives up to the reputation. The Forrest Gump star admits he will always be typecast into the role of the good guy, but it doesn't worry him as he's as charming off-screen as he is on. He says, "There's no doubt a degree of my image is going to follow me into every gig. Look, I am a nice guy. That's my image. I can't erase it from people's minds." And Hanks insists his reputation comes from his strict work ethic. He adds, "It comes from respecting people even when I don't like them. I don't give people less than my all and don't expect less of other people."

Lachey is unable to attend, but 18 of the 20 choir members will perform. The free performance is part of the Fountain Square New Year's Eve Blast, presented by Duke Energy.

New Season of Bachelor Scoop

from buddy tv...
Earlier this month, at least one casting for The Bachelor had to be rescheduled to earlier next year due to the weather in the Midwest. As noted at the time, it possible the casting directors are already getting a jump on season 13, but the chance remains that they are still looking for just that right set of perfect teeth and a six pack to fill The Bachelor’s

Once the suit is filled, the next challenge is to fill the minutes with drama, and for next season, it’s looking like there will be less of those minutes to fill.

Although previous seasons were either entirely 90-minute episodes, or, as in the case of the Brad Womack season, started with three 90-minute episodes, this next season is so far looking to only be 60-minutes long. suit.

Rosie Not Happy

ROSIE O'DONNELL has hit back after she was named the world's most annoying celebrity - insisting all stars are irritating. The former talk show host won 44 per cent of the vote in the survey conducted by Parade magazine, with second place going to Paris Hilton.

But O'Donnell is unimpressed by the dubious honor - despite agreeing with the sentiment of the poll, according to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. She says, "I apparently am the most annoying celebrity. And, frankly, most celebrities are annoying. So, I agree. "Celebrities are annoying and the fact that I am one is annoying. And I suppose I am the most annoying."

Simon Loves His Puppies

SIMON COWELL is threatening to leave his multi-million dollar fortune to his pet dogs. The animal-loving music mogul, 48, has a large family as well as a long-term partner, Terri Seymour.

But he is reluctant to pass his estimated $200 million on to any human loved ones. He says, "I'll probably leave the lot to the animals. There'll be some very rich poodles in Beverly Hills." Cowell - who fought back from bankruptcy in the 1980s to become one of Britain's wealthiest men - adds, "If I had made money when I was 21, I'd probably be dead by now. I wouldn't have made 22. I would have gone crazy."

Britney's 2008 Future?

Astrologer Susan Miller read Brit Brit's chart and revealed all to Usmagazine.com.

BRITNEY SPEARS
Good news for the 26-year-old Sagittarius: “She will fall in love around this time next year,” Miller says. “She’s going to be awfully happy.”

Miller says her future mate will "be very financial, practical and stable. He’ll be 7 years older and will know how to handle money — a manager-type,” Miller says. (Sam Lutfi anyone?)

But Spears won't walk down the aisle next year. “Britney has the potential to marry again in her life, but like Halle Berry, she may be a little wary right now,” Miller says.

Miller predicts Spears' "bank account is going to explode with money" in the second half of 2008, the result of either recording a new album or other residuals. Adds Miller, “She’s going to keep belting out hits!”

Though Spears was shocked by her sister's pregnancy, Miller says the two will eventually grow closer as Jamie Lynn prepares to give birth. "They have the same problems with caring for children,” Miller notes.

Not Good News About The Writers Strike

from contact

Appearing to thumb its nose at striking writers, NBC has begun promoting its midseason schedule by announcing that it "will have more new stuff than anybody else -- with seven new premieres in the first ten days" of the year. Meanwhile, L.A. Weekly columnist Nikki Finke said on her Deadline Hollywood blog early today (Wednesday) that behind-the-scene efforts by DreamWorks Animation chief Jeffrey Katzenberg to bring about a compromise that would have allowed negotiations between the writers and studios to resume have failed and that the television networks are planning to write off not only the rest of the season but also the pilot season for next fall as well, replacing many of the shows with new reality series and its news magazine Dateline. (The network has scheduled four hours of Dateline for this week alone.) 

Britney's Wild Ride

The singer filled another weekend with late-night shopping trips, run-ins with paparazzi and wild driving – but still found time for her kids. 

The adventure began just after midnight on Saturday morning, when she and a friend, her assistant Carla, left her Beverly Hills home in the singer's Mercedes – its headlights off and trunk open – and made the first of several stops at a Rite-Aid store in Hollywood, where Spears parked in a disabled-designated parking spot. 

"I have stuff I have to buy for my babies," Spears told photographers on her way in. 

After testing – but not buying – deodorant sprays, she emerged, spending a total of $57.46, with Lucky Charms cereal, Purex laundry detergent, Mrs. Field's chocolate chip cookies and a 32-inch plush horse (regular price $29.99, marked down by 50 per cent) labeled "For ages 4 and up." 

Her "babies," Sean Preston and Jayden James, are 2 years and 15 months, respectively. 

Spears then headed to Japanese restaurant Miyagi's on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood. "Britney came here around 1:15 a.m. with a friend," restaurant manager Gator Lee told PEOPLE. "We had just closed the kitchen, but we opened it so she could get some food. She had chicken teriyaki and shrimp tempura. She didn't have anything to drink, no alcohol . . . She seemed fine, actually great." 

Spears ended up taking the food to go because the restaurant was closing, Lee said, and drove to her Malibu home. Spears and her friend were later back at the Beverly Hills house by 5 a.m. 

Brit Brit In The Big House?

from OK! magazine...

Paris Hilton has done it.Lindsay Lohan andNicole Richie both (barely) did it. And then there's Michelle Rodriguez, Kiefer Sutherland... Heck, this year it seems like just about every celebrity has spent a little time in the gray-bar hotel. And ifBritney Spearscontinues her past behaviour in her ongoing custody dispute, sources tell OK! she may very well end up spending some time in lockdown herself.

OK! has confirmed with sources close to the ongoing custody war between Britney and ex-hubby Kevin Federline that the pop star is — once again — scheduled next week to be deposed by K-Fed's lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan. However, as the 25-year-old mother of two has blown off over a half-dozen previously scheduled attempts at being deposed — including two depositions ordered by the court! — many insiders are convinced that she will be a no-show for this one as well. But considering the potentially dire consequences for Brit, she might want to think twice before oversleeping or calling in sick next week.

"She could go to jail for contempt of court if she refuses to show," one legal eagle confirms to OK!. "That would be extreme for a child custody hearing, but not outside the realm of possibility." 

New Development In Baby Spears

The father of Jamie Lynn Spears baby is NOT boyfriend Casey Aldridge, according to shocking reports from Star Magazine. News that Britney’s sister was pregnant at 16 - under the legal age forced 18-year-old Casey into hiding.

But now Star magazine insists that the teenager may not be the dad - and that Spears’ friends and family think it is an older man who would face statutory rape charges.

Friends have said that Jamie Lynn was no longer even seeing Casey - and family members told Star that they believe the real father is a much older executive at her children’s TV show ‘Zoey 101′.

“Casey is being paid off to be the family’s fall guy while the real father remains unidentified,” Star magazine insists.

Lost Star In The Big House

Actress Michelle Rodriguez began a 180-day jail term in Los Angeles on Sunday for probation violation, the second Hollywood celebrity after Kiefer Sutherland to face a Christmas incarceration.

Rodriguez must serve the full stretch in the overcrowded jail, where sentences for minor crimes are often cut short. In November, actressLindsay Lohan served 84 minutes of a 1-day sentence, while reality TV starlet Nicole Richie was released 80 minutes into her 4-day term in August.

A judge sentenced Rodriguez in October for violating her probation on previous drunken-driving and hit-and-run offenses, and specified that she not be granted work furlough, early release or home confinement.

Jamie And Baby Daddy Not Always Together

from life and style weekly

Jamie Lynn Spears has to deal with an unexpected pregnancy, but it looks like the 16-year-old Zoey 1-0-1 star no longer has to deal with a troublesome baby daddy.

According to Life and Style Weekly, Britney's little sister has given the boot to Casey Aldridge, despite media reports that the Spears family "adores" the guy. A source close to Spears tells the mag, "Jamie Lynn and Casey are not together. They've broken up numerous times, but he was her first and she kept taking him back. 

They're not dating now. He's really got nothing to offer this baby. He's a kid himself. At this point, Jamie Lynn has asked her mom, not Casey, to be in the delivery room with her."

A Little Friction On The Home Front

from us magazine

Jamie-Lynn Spears' pregnancy has sent shock waves through her fan base and it's also causing turmoil within her family. The Zoey 1-0-1 star's dad, Jamie Spears, is said to be "devastated" about his daughter's predicament, and Us magazine quotes a friend of the family as saying, "He thinks she's ruined her life." Jamie's also angry at mom Lynne Spears for putting together a deal to give exclusive rights to the tale to O-Kmagazine. The friend tells Us, "He put his foot down and refused to take any money and 'profit off of his children.'"

While Jamie-Lynn and her mom are, in fact, due to collect a cool million from the magazine, the deal is actually for the first photos of the baby that the 16-year-old is due to deliver next year. Lynne Spears kept in touch with the folks at O-K after Britney'sinfamous meltdown at a photo shoot for the mag, and believed the editors treated Brit fairly after that incident. As such, a source close to the Spears family says, "She trusted them to do [this piece] in a way that would be sympathetic to Jamie-Lynn."

Oops

Rumored-to-be-preggers Britney Spears isn't the only actively reproductive member of her family. Brit's 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn confirmed to O-K magazine that she is with child.

The star of Zoey 1-0-1 told the magazine the father is her boyfriend Casey Aldridge, a 19-year-old she's been dating for some time. Jamie Lynn told the mag, "It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected. I was in complete and total shock and so was he." She then had to break the news at Thanksgiving to mama Lynne, already twice a grandma. "

She was very upset because it wasn't what she expected at all. A week after, she had time to cope with it and became very supportive." Unlike her big sis, who's decided to raise her kids in Tinseltown, Jamie Lynn says she plans to rear her offspring back in Louisiana, "so it can have a normal family life." Well, as normal as you can with an Auntie Britney.
