Kate Moss
The British Tabloids are reporting that Kate Moss is out of circulation, after checking into a $4,000-a-day rehab clinic in Arizona. British tabloid The Sun cited an unnamed friend of Moss saying she knew she had to do something. No official confirmation from Kate's people as of yet.

Paris Hilton and Paris Latsis
The latest evidence that Paris Hilton and Paris Latsis are pretty much toast comes from the New York Post's Cindy Adams. An informant of Cindy's overheard a conversation between Paris' mom and dad, Rick and Kathy, and two friends in a Long Island restaurant. Kathy said, "I'm not thrilled with this Latsis kid because of his values. He lives in a $12 million house in Beverly Hills and has no job. My kids, Paris and Nicky, worked part-time since they were 15. I feel this kid has no motivation to work ever. Why would he? He's a billionaire almost and his family lets him have and do what he wants. He's not a bad kid. Just not motivated. I do not knock him to Paris at all. I never tell her what to do. But I am fearful for her future with him. And I do not think she should marry him. I hope she doesn't, but I'll always support everything my kids do. Paris is now just discovering her own self. And what matters to her in life. She's still developing emotionally and professionally. Her ideals and tastes will change. I do not want her divorced. From anyone. I want her to make good choices for herself — as Rick and I did." Rick added: "He's nice but nobody except a rich kid. Why isn't he working? Even in his family's business?" Then Kathy dropped the bomb. "Thank God she's stopped seeing him regularly."

Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore
Some details are coming out about the Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore wedding – assuming it really was a wedding. It's described as a casual but elegant affair in their Beverly Hills home. The wedding home was blessed by Kabbalah rabbi Eitan Yardeni and the couple exchanged rings by Neil Lane. They also recited vows they had written, and while Demi was dry-eyed, Ashton shed tears. Moore wore a cream Lanvin gown and the festivities ended with a powder-blue vanilla-bean wedding cake.

Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong
The buzz is that Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong are planning a spring wedding. According to a source, the wedding will take place in April at the Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara, that Crow will wear a Ralph Lauren dress and has hired Lauren to personally "design" the entire event.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
The Brad Pitt – Angelina Jolie relationship hit a slight bump in the road recently. It seems Brad phoned his mom in Missouri and told her he wanted to drop by to introduce Angelina and her babies. However, Brad's mom really likes Jennifer Aniston and remains loyal to her and the two still stay in touch by phone. Mom told Brad she needed more time, her son understood and so the new family has yet to meet up.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin
Could Gwyneth Paltrow and Coldplay rocker Chris Martin be adding to their family? A supposed friend of the couple tells the tabloid The Star that they're expecting their second baby in the spring. This friend adds that Gwyneth is 99 percent sure this baby was likely conceived backstage at one of the music festivals that Coldplay played in England this summer. If the baby is a boy, the friends says Gwyneth wants to name him after her late father, film director Bruce Paltrow.

Nicole Kidman
Whatever you do, don't ask Nicole Kidman about those rumors of her and country singer Keith Urban being an item. At a Washington, D.C. press conference for her new movie, "The Visiting," one reporter had the nerve to ask such a question. It was already apparent that Nicole didn't want to be there and when the question was asked, she responded with a terse, "Um, no!" Meanwhile, her flack supposedly went berserk and was asking a guy from Warner Brothers to identify the woman who asked the question. The official line is that it was too hot for anyone to go berserk and that Nicole was delighted to be there.

Mariah Carey
If you'd like to hook up with Mariah Carey, you'd better head to England. Mariah is in London shopping for men and has supposedly told friends, "I'm going to find me a man on this trip." Apparently Mariah heard that British men are complete gentlemen, and that's what she's looking for.

Nicole Murphy
Eddie Murphy's wife, Nicole, may have filed for divorce but she still likes to use his name. It seems Nicole and her new man, businessman Alan Daniels, hit a Manhattan nightspot, but found all the dance-floor tables were occupied. With that, Daniels told another customer, "I want your table." When the guy said 'no,' Daniels whipped out the old 'Don't you know who we are?' line. Another friend chimed in: "She is Eddie Murphy's wife." A staffer at the club responded, "Not anymore she isn't." After an awkward silence, the customer gave up the table and went to the bar.

Jessica Alba
There's a sliver of hope for those wanting to get a good glimpse of Jessica Alba. Jessica now says she would do a nude scene in the future, but only if the role was right. Jessica said, "I'm going to have to face that when a big director who I really respect has an amazing story, it might be necessary for me to do a nude scene." Jessica also says she prefers the attitude of European women to Americans, because of their liberated approach towards looks and sex. Jessica says, "I'm actually OK with my body and the fact that I have curves and flaws. I think that European women have a much healthier attitude about bodies and sex, and I have more of that mentality."

Habitat for Humanity
Desperate Housewives actors Doug Savant and Jesse Metcalfe got up before dawn this week to help build homes in Burbank for Habitat for Humanity. Meanwhile, on the other coast, Jessica Alba, Cynthia Nixon and Brooke Shields were on hand in New York for another Habitat for Humanity building project.

Tara Reid
While Tara Reid is still living down having one of her breasts pop out of her dress on the red carpet at Diddy's 35th birthday party last year, we could soon see a whole lot more. While her E! show "Taradise" was recently cancelled, Playboy has reportedly offered millions for her to pose in the altogether, As for her unintended exposure, Tara says: "People act like it was the worst crime in the world. It was a mistake, you know! But you would think my boob had popped out and shot Gandhi! My hooters are under control. I'm taped up now, totally. I'm using double tape. Double, double tape. My boobs are going nowhere again."

Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres did a good deed in Houston, Texas by handing out free gas to those in need after the hurricanes. DeGeneres flew a production assistant to Houston to pump free fuel to motorists for two hours. It wasn't all a publicity stunt as Ellen grew up in New Orleans and still has family there.
