Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Eva Longoria, and Tony Parker
There was a big bonus for the paparazzi staking out Bora Bora for honeymoon photos of Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban. Touching down just minutes after the newlyweds were Eva Longoria and boyfriend Tony Parker, who just happened to be staying at the same resort. While some hefty bodyguards have been keeping the photographers away from Nicole and Keith, the shutterbugs have managed to get some photos of Eva and Tony, who are staying just feet away from Kidman and Urban's over-water villa at the St. Regis.

Britney Spears
Word has it that Britney Spears may be leaving Malibu and returning to her native Louisiana. According to Harold Smith, the mayor of Spears' hometown of Kentwood, Britney has spent $200,000 to add onto her mom's home so she can move in with her and have space for her growing family. Not only that, reports say that Britney is also looking to buy a second home so that Kevin Federline can stay there if his mother-in-law gets on his nerves. In what borders on too much information, Britney has supposedly met with an OB-GYN in Baton Rouge to talk about having a C-section there when her second baby arrives in September.

Mariska Hargitay and Peter Hermann
The celebrity baby boom continues as Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Detective Mariska Hargitay and husband Peter Hermann welcomed a baby boy named August on Wednesday in Los Angeles. Augie was a week overdue and weighed in at 10 lbs. 9 oz. and he's their first child. As is usually the case when a celebrity has a baby, they are 'over the moon.' The couple met on the show where Hermann also has a recurring role, and were married in August 2004.

Peter Weller
The spate of celebrity weddings shows no sign of easing up as Robocop star Peter Weller married his longtime girlfriend Sheri Stowe in Italy last Saturday. The couple got engaged a year ago after the bride proposed. The reception was also a birthday party as Saturday was Weller's 59th birthday.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have recovered their baby shower pictures. Police have arrested a suspect who's accused of stealing the photos taken in Namibia. Details of the arrest are being kept under wraps, perhaps because the suspect may have tried to sell the photos in more than one state, which would get the feds involved. This wasn't the only crime Brad Pitt was indirectly involved with. A man was busted trying to swindle a money exchanger in the United Arab Emirates by using a fake ID with Pitt's photo on it. The suspect told police that he did not know whose picture he had downloaded from the Internet to put on the ID.

George Clooney
Has George Clooney hooked up with an ex-girlfriend of Elvis Presley? Spies say Clooney and Linda Thompson have been spotted dining together in the Italian village where Clooney has a villa, and took her on a sunset boat ride around Lake Como. Thompson was dating Presley when he died in 1977, and was later married to U.S. Olympian Bruce Jenner and songwriter David Foster.

Jennifer Aniston and Vice Vaughn
Jennifer Aniston is apparently not too happy about boyfriend Vice Vaughn's thinning hair. Jennifer supposedly picked up some miracle hair restoration cream from an upscale Paris salon. Said cream is made from sheep sperm and in addition to being disgusting, when Jennifer applied it to his scalp, he complained that it stung like hell. Jennifer phoned the Paris salon and was told the stinging was normal and that it would stop after a few applications.

Taylor Hicks
People magazine is 1-for-2 in helping American Idol winner Taylor Hicks connect with women. In a recent interview with the magazine, Taylor talked about his first crush as a young boy and a mystery blond woman he briefly exchanged glances with on an airline flight. People set up e-mail boxes for the women to contact and the first crush responded. Taylor was in second grade at the time and she was an older woman in the sixth grade. Her name is now Christy Lee Worsham and she's married with children. However, she says she'd like to reconnect with Taylor because he was like a brother to her. Sadly, no luck yet on the mystery blonde.

Nicole Richie and Matt Dillon
Was Nicole Richie cuddling and looking very cozy with Matt Dillon at a Dolce & Gabbana party at the Chateau Marmont last week? That's what US Weekly is reporting. No word from Nicole's people, but Dillon's spokeswoman said that he just spoke to her for five minutes and that was it.

Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling now says that she's devastated because she never had the chance to say goodbye to her father Aaron Spelling before he died. Tori is blaming it on her strained relationship with her mother Candy because Tori says she didn't tell her how seriously ill her father was. Tori says that she had only seen her father once since last September. That was on June 11 when she apparently had her reconciliation. Tori says, "I was led to believe he had more time. And so I never said goodbye. The last time I saw him, it was sort of a goodbye, but not a formal one. I just didn't know." Tori also said she believes 100 percent that he was holding on for her and part of her knew that as soon as she saw him that he would start to let go.

Star Jones
In what shouldn't be a surprise, Star Jones isn't done talking about her departure from The View. Star now says that she's "disheartened" by how she has been treated by the show and that their promises that her departure would be handled with "great dignity" turned into a "circus." Of course, Star helped the circus parade along by dropping the news live on the air two days before they had agreed to make the announcement. Star denies reports that she knew since late last year she wouldn't be coming back next season, saying she only found out in April after the show hired arch-nemesis Rosie O'Donnell. Star says she is convinced they plotted for some time to get her off the show and there was no way she could say goodbye to this chapter of her life without telling the truth. Meanwhile, Star now admits it was a mistake not to level with viewers on how she achieved her dramatic weight loss, although she still won't discuss the matter.

Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan turns 20 on Sunday and not only are you not invited to the party, she's not telling you where it is. However, Lindsay is dropping a few hints. Lohan says she's going out of the country and that the Caribbean is her preferred spot to dodge photographers because no one can get a picture of her in Turks and Caicos. She says she goes there with her family, and it's the perfect place to go with a guy.

Jennifer Lopez
We may soon be able to read some dirt on Jennifer Lopez. Ex-husband Ojani Noa has written a book that promises to spill intimate details about her private life. J.Lo's lawyers are hard at work to try and keep you from reading it and Lopez has been granted a temporary restraining order against Noa, halting publication of the book for now. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for today.

Pamela Anderson
Pamela Anderson kept her word, sort of, as she took off her clothes in the window of Stella McCartney's London boutique. It was part of PETA's "I'd rather bare skin than wear skin" campaign and Pam stripped down to her presumably non-fur undies and stood in the window with two other models. Pam later dissed Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce Knowles for continuing to wear fur.

Rob Schneider
Funnyman Rob Schneider is back to work after collapsing from food poisoning and heat exhaustion while filming the movie Big Stan at a women's prison near Stockton, California. Temperatures have been in the triple digits the past few days and the combination of the two proved to be too much. Firefighters have been called out to the set several times to treat cases of heat exhaustion.

Denise Richards
If you're in the market for a 400-sq.-ft., six-bedroom house in L.A.'s Westlake Village neighborhood, you may want to talk to Denise Richards. Denise is selling the home she bought last year after her split with Charlie Sheen. Among your new neighbors will be Heather Locklear, whom Denise is not getting along with since she began dating her ex, Richie Sambora.

Josh Duhamel and Tommy Lee
Just what went down between "Las Vegas" star Josh Duhamel and rocker Tommy Lee this week at Hollywood hotspot Bella? There was some sort of altercation, but stories seem to conflict. It seems to have started when Tommy was in the bathroom and Josh wanted to get in and began knocking on the door, trying to hurry Tommy along. Some reports have Tommy coming out and getting into a shoving match with Josh, other stories say Tommy punched him. Either way, it seems Duhamel wound up on the floor. After that, Tommy either left, pursued by Josh who wanted him to stay and fight like a man, or Josh was booted while Tommy was allowed to stay and finish dinner.

Nick Nolte
Nick Nolte has settled up with the parents of a then 15-year-old girl who had sex at the actor's home during a party his son was having while he was away. Her parents sued Nolte, claiming he was liable for damages because they said his home has had a long history of furnishing drugs and/or alcohol to minors. He said they were just going after him because of his fame and money. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Gwyneth Paltrow
Will Gwyneth Paltrow add a hyphen to her job description? The actress and wife of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is reportedly looking to embark on a music career of her own. Gwyneth has been writing and recording songs with her pal Madonna's producer William Orbit. Paltrow may have been bitten by the singing bug when she did a few tunes in the film "Duets."
