Happy Birthday Suri! Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s darling celebrates another birthday, with an adorable cake and loads of presents.

To continue from the last Gwyneth post, Mommy Blythe officially backed up her daughter’s claims that her marriage was NOT in trouble when cornered at a natural gas garbage truck unveiling in the Big Apple.

“Oh no! They are really happily married They are together all time. The public just does not see them together. They couldn’t have a better marriage.” she exclaimed. And when asked WHY they were never seen together, Blythe’s explanation was this:

“It has to do with being so inundated…They get so inundated and it’s gotten so awful now that they can’t go out and enjoy themselves. If they were both out together they would just get so overwhelmed and not enjoy themselves. So they do it for that reason.”

Yes, ok. Whatever. Am still not quite convinced. Brangelina still manage to do it after all.

In a recent interview in the British media, Gwyneth denied allegations that her marriage with Coldplay rocker, Chris Martin was in trouble. Rumors of separation were “ridiculous” the Gwyneth insisted, she went on gushing that being a wife and Mother is her greatest joy, has made her stop searching, ended her loneliness and made her whole. Awww.

So why couldn’t she reveal the wherabouts of her husband (the reason why those rumors erupted)? “We just don’t want to be one of those couples…..It evolved that way” Yeah. whatever.

On a better note, Gwyneth was last seen in New York, attending to the Mexican birthday bash of 2-year-old Moses. And where was Dad? London of course….

 

You can say what you like about Tom Cruise - his nutty sofa antics, strange marriage, fervent beliefs etc, but when it comes to parenting, all evidence points to the fact that Tom has been doing a pretty decent job as a parent.  And its not just to mini-paparazzi darling Suri. Don’t forget that Tom has two adopted kids with ex Nicole Kidman, Connor and Isabella, now entering their teens.

Nick, on the other hand, has been getting the bad rap when it comes to parenting, with numerous reports saying things like Nicole has a “strained” relationship with her kids, doesn’t spend enough time with the, and worst, they don’t even call her “Mum”.

Hot mamma Angelina Jolie filed a petition in an L.A. court on April 16 to have the name of her adopted Vietnamese son, Pax Thien Jolie, to be changed to Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt.

A hearing is to be held at the Santa Monica Courthouse on May 31 to discuss the name change.

Reportedly, in court documents, Jolie states that she is ”the sole adoptive parent of the child” but is requesting the name change ”in order that her child’s last name will incorporate and be combined with the last name of her partner and be the same as that of her other children.”

We all remember, of course, that in January 2006 Ang changed the name of her two other adopted children, Maddox & Zahara, to Jolie-Pitt as a symbol of her dedication to her new partner, Brad Pitt.

Well, it’s all rather sweet if you ask me.  Name half the world Jolie-Pitt if you like.  Hell, I might even take the last name!

Pop queen Madonna dissed her baby’s daddy this weekend.  That’s kinda funny, seeing as how she reportedly agreed to a meeting with her adopted son David Banda’s biological father.

The trio were supposed to meet-up on Saturday, but a source at the Home of Hope orphanage in Malawi siad that the meeting was called off, and no reason given.

Ironically, Madonna was to meet with Nelson Mandela in South Africa after her visit with David’s father, but his people told her people that Mandela was just a wee too busy to see her.  Ha!  Karma’s a bitch, eh?

Hippohips Tori Spelling & smileypants hubby Dean McDermott are getting back into shape after the birth of their son Liam.

The couple were spotted working out Tuesday in Beverly Hills.  Who knew those two could even afford to sweat in that high priced vicinity?

Tori looks like she’s going to burst out of those pants any minute now & hubs Dean is all smiles for the cameras as he’s just happy to be someone again I suppose.

After Tuesday’s revelation that photographer Larry Birkhead was telling the truth all along, Anna Nicole Smith’s ex-lawyer/sometime lover Howard K. Stern has been trying to play nice.

On Tuesday DNA results indicated that Larry Birkhead was indeed the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s four-month-old daughter Danielynn Hope.  After long legal battles, the baby daddy was finally revealed & we are the better for it, possibly.

After the paternity test results were announced, Stern played nice & even went so far as to hug the winning Birkhead.  Maybe after such a long fuss, everyone is happy to put this whole thing behind them.

I wonder what Anna Nicole Smith is thinking right about now, I’ll bet she’s having herself a pretty damn good laugh.

Hottiepants Elizabeth Hurley & her recent lavish wedding have apparently pissed off her Indian in-laws.

According to TMZ, Hurley’s father-in-law is lashing out at the actress & her new hubby Arun Nayer.

Hurley hater in-law Vinod Nayer stated, “Liz and Arun have treated us very shabbily.”

“I feel that Liz and Arun behaved shamefully and placed more importance on showing off than their own family.”

The father-in-law went on to say that the newly married couple made he & his wife feel like “social outcasts” at their wedding where guests like Elton John & Elle Macpherson received more attention.

According to her new family, they have “cut all ties” to the newlyweds.

Ouch, that one’s just gotta sting a bit.  I dunno, guys.  I have too much love for Liz to think she would knowingly behave that way.  What do you think?

Well, it looks like no one wants to live in the shoes of Britney Spears.  The singer is having a spot of trouble selling off her Malibu mansion & has recently had to cut the asking price of the property from $13.5 million to $11.9 million.  Oucharoo!

The 7 bedroom, 1.53-acre estate has been on the market for going on three months now & it appears as if Spears is ready to sell & quick. 

Brit purchased the home back in late October 2004, right after ruining her life by marrying Kevin Federline, so it’s no wonder the pop princess wants to sell this bugger off.  Any takers?

Whitney Houston’s marriage to Bobby Brown will finally end this month sometime but the custody battle has already been decided.

In a move that probably made even ole Justice think twice, Houston managed to gain custody of their 14-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.  Ironically, Houston & Brown’s 14-year marriage could not stand the test of time, or bad music. 

Let’s just all hope we this means we don’t again have to be subject to Whitney via reality show.

Trendy couple Avril Lavigne & hubby Deryck Whibley were spotted on Tuesday doing a bit of grocery shopping after the singer got back from her European promo tour.

In a recent interview, Avril revealed that the thing that keeps their marriage going is trust, saying, “We have a really good, strong relationship.  There’s a lot of trust.”

Awww, well isn’t that sweet….  But you know, sometimes I can’t tell the difference in Avril & Deryck, they dress so much alike. 

You tell me- Who looks better, Avril Lavigne or Hubby Deryck Whibley?

“At the last second, my parents gave me Haven instead,” Angelina Jolie’s brother James Haven revealed after stating that his parents were going to give him the middle name ‘Shiloh’.

“So it was very cool when Brad and Angie came to me and said: “We’re thinking of names and out favorite is Shiloh. We know that was your original name, so would that be OK?â€�

“I was almost in tears–I was so honored.”

You know, folks just surprise you sometimes, now don’t they?  For instance, who would have guessed that Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale wold both get all dolled up for their son’s baptism?

Well, if you saw that one coming, you have one on me.  On Sunday Stefani & Rossdale celebrated their 10-month old Kingston’s baptism at a Los Angeles church.  Even Gwen went with a more modest & tailored look for the occasion.  And of course, toddler Kingston is looking dapper as usual.

What a happy, handsome family they all make!

The word on the street is that Angelina Jolie was able to bring her latest adopted child home from his Vietnamese orphanage on Thursday. 

Reuters revealed that before leaving with her new son, newly named, Pax Thien Jolie, Jolie penned a message into the orphanage’s visitor book.

“Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my son,” Ang said.

“He has been with you for years. I’m sure he will miss your beautiful, caring staff as much as you will miss him.”

The orphanage’s director, Nguyen Van Trung, said of the three-year-old boy, “He’s the smartest and cleverest among the kids.”

Well, Pax sounds like a great addition to the Jolie & Brad Pitt brood.  Congrats all around.  I’m sure Pax & Maddox will get along just fine.

Actress Angelina Jolie & partner in crime Brad Pitt have completed the adoption process for their new Vietnamese son.  The three-year-old boy, who has an interesting life ahead of him, was picked up Thursday at 9am local time.

Apparently Jolie is not only taking the adopted boy away from the culture he has known for three years, she is also renaming the child.  The boy’s birth name is Pham Quang Sang & Jolie will be renaming him to Pax Thien Jolie.  I wonder how he feels about that one…  Interestingly, the adopted boy’s name means “light” in Vietnamese & Thien means “heaven”.  So, it looks like Jolie is taking the boy away from the light & into heaven.

Vietnamese press reporters are saying that Pax cried during the adoption ceremony, as well as hid.  Jolie reportedly comforted him, who was accompanied by her other adopted son Maddox.

Angelina & children finished up the ceremony around 10am & returned to their hotel.  Wonder where ole Brad is?

Ang must now meet with United States officials who will review the adoption & issue a passport for the child.  If everything goes well, Jolie will be able to bring home the new addition to their family by this weekend.

Congrats all around, I think.

33-year-old Tori Spelling & 40-year-old hubby Dean McDermott welcomed a baby boy Tuesday. Baby Liam Aaron McDermott was born Tuesday at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Baby Liam is healthy & happy, weighing in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces.

The proud parents seem to be in good spirits & even Grandmother Candy Spelling was at the hospital to welcome baby Liam into the world. This is the first child for Tori & Dean, who were married in May 2006.

An insider reveals that, “Everyone is happy and healthy.”

Congrats to the happy family. Who knows? Baby Liam might bring the Spelling family closer together, though I doubt it. After Tori’s father Aaron Spelling died in June 2006, Tori & her mother Candy haven’t necessarily been best buddies. I dunno, little Liam. That’s going to be a tough sale.

48-year-old Madonna might have a little something extra to worry about, other than the fact that she doesn’t know how to buckle in adopted son David Banda.

Madonna’s former nanny Melissa Dumas plans to write a tell all memoir on her time as the material girl’s nanny.  The title of the book is tentatively being called, “Live to Tell: My Life as Madonna’s Nanny”.

Wow.  Live to Tell, huh?  Do some of Madge’s nannies not live to tell about the gruesome events going on in her & husband Guy Ritchie’s home?

According to the publisher of the book, the memoir “will detail, from the nanny’s perspective, what home life is like for the Material Girl and her director husband, Guy Ritchie.”

Dumas is working with another writer on the book & hopes to see the book in print by September, if she indeed lives to tell the tale.
