Ali Lohan has just accepted her first movie role in Mostly Ghostly (based on the popular book series). The fourteen year old says she “grew up” watching sister Lindsay Lohan on the set. “It made me want to do what she does. Just the whole vibe. Being there, being on camera, or onstage.”

Must be a big trend — Connor Cruise is also following his parents’ footsteps. Uhm, who’s next. Paris Hilton’s brother?

Connor Cruise practically grew up on movie sets — what do you expect with parents like Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise? But now he’s not just a Hollywood brat hanging out in the trailer while Mom finishes her scene. He’s in a movie on his own, debuting in the Will Smith Drama, Seven Pounds.

Lindsay Lohan’shad enough of her dad’s hunger for publicity. “I just wish that he wouldn’t go and talk to the media. It really upsets me and I wish he would stop.” Michael Lohan has been hogging air time with comments on his divorce from Dina, the E! reality show “Living Lohan” and Lindsay’s colorful life.

Ivana Trump gets married for the fourth time, exchanging vows with her Italian hunk of a boyfriend, model and actor Rossano Rubicondi. (We don’t know which was dreamier: him, or the $1 million diamond ring.) The two have been dating for 6 years.

The wedding was small, with just friends and family, including ex Donald Trump. The officiating judge was actually his sister, Judge Maryanne Trump Barry. Her kids Donald, Eric and Ivanka were part of the entourage. Read here for the details of their small but ultra luxe wedding.

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….

Britney’s father is putting up several of the pop star’s cars for sale, explaining that the “cost of maintenance” was too high. According to his lawyers, this “will save substantial expense to the conservatorship estate.”

Her collection includes two white Mercedes (a SL65 and a CLK350), a white Mini Cooper convertible, and a black Audi.

We can only wonder if the money will actually go to Britney, or to you-know-who’s pockets.
But, maybe her Dad’s just thinking of a way to help her pay the huge legal bills

Britney’s Dad gets to keep control over her $100 million fortune…at least until the end of July.
She seems to be taking it calmly, and according to one source, is starting to enjoy being around her family and working on rebuilding her career.

Hulk Hogan
once said that he had “the typical American family — just in a blown up way.” Maybe one too many slams jarred his sense of reality (or maybe he believed his PR spin too much) but after 24 years of marriage, his wife Linda has filed for divorce. They have 2 kids, Brooke (19) and Nick (17).

Her plans were reported by Fox Florida affiliate WTVT. Hulk was told later by a reporter. He hid his shock, thanking the man for the “great information,” put down the phone, then called him back 5 minutes later. “I’m kind of shocked. You caught me off-guard. I just pulled over to the side of the road for five minutes to find out what was going on here. Holy smokes. Wow, you just knocked the bottom out of me.” Apparently, his wife had been in California for nearly a month, apparently working on more than a tan.

In an interview three years ago, Hogan had described his relationship with his wife as “very passionate, very loving,” In terms of disciplining that “we’re kind of cool…but run a really tight ship.” Hmmm. Now his wife’s divorcing him, and recently, Nick was arrested for reckless driving (injuring the brain of his friend and passenger John Graziano). Reality check.

Aaaah, now we get her. Us Weekly magazine revealed a disturbing picture of Britney Spears’ childhood, told by her former lawyer Eric Ervin. Apparently, the “wholesome” image portrayed at the peak of her career was pure PR. (No surprise there.) Not only did she lose her virginity at 14 years old, but Justin got a piece of the action from the start.

But Britney didn’t exactly have any strong role models — or a stable family structure. Her grandmother, Emma Jean Spears, commited suicide by shooting herself at the grave of her infant son, who had died nearly a decade earlier. Her other children, including Britney’s Dad Jamie, were in elementary school. (His brothers eventually became homeless.)

The story actually helps the public understand why Britney’s so screwed up. Somebody help her. And (for once) we mean that in the nicest possible way.

Heather Mills has already complained of being mocked by the press, but now the fashion industry’s joined in the sniggering. Stella McCartney, Paul’s daughter from an earlier marriage, has expanded her fashion line to include accessories. Her first pendant design? A single, sexy, leg.

It’s a jab against Heather Mills (who’s Stella already described as an “evil stepmother”) who lost her leg in a car accident. Knowing Heather, she’d almost forgive the insult, if she can get a “kick back” on the royalties.

According to Brad Pitt’s granny the Fight Club actor will not marry Angelina Jolie in the near future.  His grandmother reveals that he is still hurting from his divorce from Jennifer Aniston & that he’s not quite ready to marry again.

82-year-old grandma Betty Russell claims her grandson opened up his heart to her during a phone conversation following the birth of baby Shiloh.

She says, “Brad promised his last wife on their wedding day they’d be together forever, and they didn’t make it. He is a sensitive soul who just wants to make sure he can keep his promise this time around.”

Russell also reveals how seriously Pitt has taken his new fatherhood role & his relationship with Angelina Jolie and their two adopted children Maddox & Zahara. 

Russell adds, “Brad has always wanted to have children and he is playing the father role very well. The family loved Jennifer. But he has got Angelina now and seems really happy with life.

“(Brad is) very close to (Maddox). He confides little secrets to him.”

Poor Brad Pitt’s grandmother.  Did she really know she was talking to a reporter when she gave this tell-all?  I’m thinking that Brad’s not too happy about this published revelation.  Maybe he’ll get extra fruit cake this year.

Tori Spelling reconciled with her father, Aaron Spelling, exactly one week after the producer / director suffered from a stroke in his California home on Father’s Day of all days.  Maybe Aaron saw one of those So NoTORIous shows & thought the show deserved a much different title.

On June 11 Tori visited her father at his mansion in Beverly Hills for the first time in nine months.  The out-of-the-blue visit was so that Aaron could meet his new daughter’s husband Dean McDermott.  Tori’s split with husband Charlie Shanian after just 15 months of marriage caused strain on her relations with her family.  Ummm,  I guess if your dad shills out millions for your wedding there’s like an expected amount of time you should be married before you can leave the guy for another dude. 

Tori tells us her feelings about the two finally meeting, “I’m so over-the-moon that Dean and my dad finally met.”

Tori is still not speaking with her mother Candy, who was out of the house when the two came calling.

She adds, “It’s sad that my mother and I have the relationship we do, but you can’t pick your family.

“I lost the last nine months of time with my dad because of the circumstances with my mom.”

Tori says of the reunion with her father, “It was as if a day hadn’t gone by since we saw each other.”

Brokeback Mountain starlet Michelle Williams is having a bit of family trouble.  Her father Larry Richard Williams was arrested on Saturday in Australia for allegedly failing to pay US taxes.  
 
Larry Williams was detained in Australia this weekend after US authorities issued a warrant for his return on charges of evading $1.5 million in income tax.  Mr. Williams is a celebrated share-trading guru who travels extensively claiming to reveal his stock market secrets.  I’m thinking his clients might want to avoid the secrets of evading income tax.  The star’s father is being accused of creating false documents and using several bank accounts to evade his large tax bill.

Williams, who arrived in Sydney via South Africa, was due to guest speak at a series of financial seminars across the country.  Ummm.  Isn’t this like Michael Jackson guest speaking for No Child Left Behind or Michelle Rodriguez presenting a speech on behalf of Mothers Against Drunk Drivers? 

Williams has been released on bail, been ordered to stay in Sydney, forced to surrender his passport & must report into the police three times a day.  Sounds like a prescription for trouble.  Williams is due to return to court on May 29.

According to Brad Pitt’s little brother Doug, 39, Brad is irritated that his mother Jane is still keeping in touch with his ex-wife Jennifer Aniston. 

Doug tells Star magazine that momma Jane speaks to Aniston on the phone at least once a week even though it’s been 18 months since the couple split in January 2005.  I dunno, seems like a hard thing to do to just quit Jennifer cold turkey, there could be major psychological consequences to this action. 

Doug says, “Brad is not happy about Mom talking to Jennifer.”

“He feels that Mom should move on now, and cut the link that was there. But she is in a difficult position–she has great affection for Jennifer–born out of the fact Brad once loved her and did marry her.”

Brad Pitt swiftly moved on to a new relationship with Angelina Jolie and is now a father to adopted children Maddox & Zahara.  The wave-making couple are expecting their first biological child together at anytime. 

I wonder if Jen sent Jane a Mother’s Day card…….

Brad Pitt has hired three construction crews for his home in Hollywood Hills in an effort to make sure the renovations are complete before (girlfriend?) Angelina Jolie gives birth to his love child.  The crews will be working around the clock until the job is done meaning that the noise and constant traffic might wear on Pitt’s neighbor’s nerves.

But the sensitive Pitt has already thought of that and is planning a cocktail party when the work is done & he’s settled in.  One neighbor claims the actor insisted that the work to be done after dark should only consist of painting and other quiet jobs to ensure neighborhood happiness. 

Brad has owned the Hills house for over nine years, but had to give it up when he wed Jennifer Aniston, she never liked the place.  Ahhh, that should make Brad pleased- having the baby he’s always wanted & shacking up at his old bachelor pad.

We’re all pretty much familliar with House of Dereon, but here’s a refresher to go along with the new ad campaign.  The House of Dereon is a clothing line launched in October 2005 by Beyoncé and Tina Knowles. The line was inspired by the success of Tina Knowles’ fashion creations, which were worn by the now disbanded, (for this second) Destiny’s Child. Prior to the launching of her line, many of Tina’s creations were seen on the red carpet, worn by Beyonce and troupe.

The clothing line premiered for the first time on The Oprah Winfrey Show in November 2005. The models for the runway show included Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.

The new ads for House of Dereon shows us lovely and intimate scence with Beyonce & her mother.  It’s actually kinda sweet.  Gush, gush.
