IS KABBALAH DRIVING A WEDGE BETWEEN GWYNETH PALTROW AND CHRIS MARTIN?

gwyneth

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin frequently have to defend their marriage because they are so INfrequently seen together. They’re still reasonably happily married, but there’s a bump in the road: Gwyneth’s ongoing fascination with Kabbalah has become an issue. She and Madonna are still close friends and Madonna’s life revolves around Kabbalah, so she pulls Gwyneth into all sorts of activities. Chris just isn’t that interested in the cultish religion and it’s causing increased friction in the family.

ELLEN DEGENERES GRABBED PAULA ABDUL’S JOB ON AMERICAN IDOL

ellen-1-cut

Ellen Degeneres has been officially hired as the fourth judge on American Idol, leaving Paula Abdul out in the cold, moaning “What did I do wrong?” (Honey, you asked for too much money!) Ellen says she will be “the voice of the common people who are out there watching the show on TV.” But she’s way more than that – Ellen is smart and showbiz savvy and her quick wit will give Simon a run for his money. Finally, producers hired someone who already has a huge following – Ellen will revitalize the ageing series.

NICOLE RICHIE AND JOEL MADDEN: IF A BOY’S NAMED SPARROW, HE’S GOTTA BE TOUGH

What ever possessed Joel Madden and Nicole Richie to name their newborn SON “Sparrow.” This isn’t even funny. Their daughter Harlow at least has a name with some glamour and it’s sex appropriate. What boy wants to be called a Sparrow? A tiny fragile bird! Imagine the taunts in the schoolyard. The poor kid will probably grow up to be a tattooed bodybuilder to prove his manhood. It reminds us of the Johnny Cash song “A Boy Named Sue” –“if a man’s named Sue, he’s gotta be tough.”

KATHERINE HEIGL BOUGHT THAT STROLLER FOR HER NEW BABY GIRL

We were RIGHT when we assumed “Grey’s Anatomy” star Katherine Heigl might be expecting because of 3 observations in a recent photo. She was sucking on a lollipop instead of smoking, she wore a loose dress, and she and her husband Josh Kelley were in a baby store purchasing a stroller. The twist is that she’s adopting! Katherine and Josh are expecting a little girl from Korea this week whom they’ve already named Leigh. Katherine has always liked kids better than she liked the idea of being pregnant. Hopefully she’s stocked up on lollipops to avoid second hand smoke.

LINDSAY LOHAN IS MORE THAN WILLING TO STEP INTO MISCHA BARTON’S SHOES

Mischa Barton might be surprised to hear what her so-called friend Lindsay Lohan has been up to behind her back. Mischa’s recent hospitalization had her role on CW’s new show The Beautiful Life in jeopardy. Lindsay supposedly was very supportive of Mischa’s recovery, but at the same time she was jockeying to replace Mischa on the series! Lindsay didn’t try to sabotage Mischa’s job, but she DID let producers know she was very interested in the role if they recast it. So Far, Mischa seems to be doing fine.

WATCH OUT BEYONCE- HERE COMES LADY GAGA!

Hell-bent on success, Lady Gaga is EVERYWHERE promoting her music. She left Berlin in the morning and spent five hours in London at a CD signing before she flew off to France that evening. Eventually she’ll end up at the MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, where she’s performing and has 9 nominations. Beyonce, incidentally, is also performing and ALSO has 9 nominations. This will be a big competition. Above, Lady Gaga resembles an old time movie star avoiding the press after a scandal.

GEORGE CLOONEY HAS A SOPHISTICATED DATE AT THE VENICE FILM FESTIVAL

George Clooney’s date Elisabetta Canalis was a knockout at the Venice Film Festival. THIS time George didn’t have to take his date shopping for dresses before a big event. Usually the objects of his affection are young waitresses who don’t have evening gowns in their closets suitable for elaborate occasions. Elisabetta, 30, is an Italian actress/model with a job as a TV host so she’s a bit more experienced. George’s right hand is bandaged from when he slammed it in a car door. So he says.

ANGELYNE: NOT YOUR TYPICAL MALIBU RESIDENT

We never get tired of Angelyne sightings. The billboard queen was snapped at the Malibu Country Mart and she wasn’t happy about it. She flipped open that pink ostrich feather fan and hid behind it. She’s been seen in Malibu a lot lately rather than her usual haunt, the Sunset Strip. Maybe she moved. If you wonder how she makes money, she seems to have a thriving mail-order business. On myspace, where she claims to be 29 years old, she offers autographed panties for sale for $150.

LOURDES IS STILL DADDY’S LITTLE GIRL

We pity Carlos Leon’s girlfriends when Lourdes is around. Daughters are notoriously critical of their father’s female companions and we’re guessing Lourdes is outspoken like her mother Madonna. The three of them seem reasonably friendly in this photo taken in Soho. Gum chomping Lourdes seems to be possessive of her father and positions herself between the twosome.

If you read Page Six you might remember a recent blind item they printed about secret trysts between a reality star and a well known singer. We are revealing that pair to be John Mayer and “The Hills” star Kristin Cavallari! They have been hooking up secretly at a mutual friend’s house in the Mt Olympus area of the Hollywood Hills for the past two years! Our source says that Kristin was hesitant to date John publicly because she didn’t want to be added to his long list of conquests, and they were both dating other people off and on. Recently their “friends with benefits” relationship has evolved, and they are actually considering going public.
