Tori Spelling is pregnant (again!) with baby number 4

Tori Spelling is pregnant again!

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are quite the busy couple: The two are welcoming a fourth child into their house, announcing it just five months after the arrival of their latest, a baby girl named Hattie.

"Dean, Liam, Stella, Hattie, and I are beyond thrilled to announce that another little McDermott is on the way," Spelling said on her blog Friday.

"We feel truly blessed that another angel has found us."

Spelling and McDermott found each other at the altar in May 2006. The couple has starred in several reality franchises for cable networks. Their brood also includes the aforementioned Liam, 5, and Stella, 4.

Spelling has another baby pending: a mysterious television project that touches close to home.

"In rehearsals all day 2day on an exciting new tv series I'm doing. Can't announce yet but it's totally tori & plays into [one] of my main passions," she tweeted.

Kim Kardashian dusts off red carpet powder bomb incident

Kim Kardashian gets flour bombed
Kim Kardashian has a signature cupcake at a chic Beverly Hills sweets shop, but the reality star got a lot closer to baking on Thursday night than she would have liked.

A random woman attended the launch of Karashian's new fragrance at a West Hollywood hotel and flour-bombed the famous divorcee.

"That probably is the craziest, unexpected, weird thing that's happened to me," Kardashian told E! Online of the incident.

Motive is unclear on behalf of the mystery woman, who was swiftly escorted from the premises of The London Hotel after spraying Kim with the white powder, but red carpet reporters allegedly heard some complaints about fur.

Lucky for the bold powder tosser that Kim's sister Khloe wasn't around, or she would've thrown down, according to her Twitter account.

"I wish I was with my sister tonight. I bet you that woman wouldn't have dared tried a thing...," she wrote.

Kardashian hopped right back on the carpet after a quick dust-off, chatting up her True Reflection scent, and has no plans to press charges.

Whitney Houston: Death an accidental drowning; cocaine found in system

Whitney Houston's official cause of death is drowning
For the saga of Whitney Houston's sudden death in February, a sad conclusion came on Thursday: An autopsy confirms accidental drowning as the official cause, and a screening revealed cocaine in the singer's system. 

L.A. County Chief Coroner Craig Harvey also confirmed marijuana, Xanax, Flexeril (a muscle relaxant) and Benadryl in Houston's system, though those drugs weren't connected to her death.

While the amount of cocaine Houston took is still being determined, the coroner's report said the drug "exacerbated her heart condition."

Just two days before this year's Grammy Awards telecast, Houston's body was discovered in her bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. The music industry and fans worldwide mourned the singer for weeks, as did her famous peers.

Houston was survived by daughter Bobbi Kristina, who inherited her estate.

Oprah courting Maria Shriver to boost OWN ratings?

Oprah wants Maria Shriver for OWN
Oprah Winfrey did her fair share of stories on plastic surgery during her syndicated talk show days, so let's say the mogul knows when it's time for a face-lift. 

That's precisely what reports say she's doing with her floundering OWN television network, which recently laid off 30 staffers and has failed to deliver Winfrey-caliber ratings since launch.

Rumor has it Winfrey is courting journalist and estranged Arnold Schwarzenegger spouse Maria Shriver to climb aboard for her own show. 

"Oprah knows she needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat, literally," RadarOnline cites a source as saying.

"She has been in discussions with Maria for a very long time about doing a news/special interest driven show for OWN. However, Oprah has ramped up the pressure in the past several weeks."

Winfrey and Shriver are longtime pals, prone to power dinners in Beverly Hills and sweet tributes from one iconic femme to the other. The collaboration makes sense and clearly could fetch some dollars from advertisers. 

The catch: Winfrey made a presumably winning bet with Rosie O'Donnell, who returned to television with a chat show for OWN that was canceled last week after poor performance. 

The Radar report goes on to speculate that Shriver is in the perfect place to accept a high-profile offer like this. Her camera-friendly son Patrick is about college age, leaving her with only her youngest, Christopher, to tend to, freeing her schedule for an OWN project.

Madonna is a 'Girl Gone Wild' in sultry new video

 
Madonna's new music video for the track "Girl Gone Wild" hit on Wednesday and is a fitting return to the singer's roots. 

All the better that the forthcoming album is titled "MDNA," as the clip is heavily rooted in her "Erotica" days: We're talking bondage, muscle, weapons and smoke. 

Madonna releases a new video for 'Girl Gone Wild'

Not only is the sizzle factor trademark Madonna, but note the spoken intro (video above), a sort of prayer of penance for just being bad. She'll take you there. 

"She pushes things along at a rather forceful pace," said William Orbit, producer and longtime Madge collaborator, of this new project, "...but when she's on the mike, or listening, it's total, total concentration." 

Concentrate on the video, directed by fashion photography team Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, then tell us your thoughts in comments.

Ashton Kutcher books ticket No. 500 on Virgin Galactic

Ashton

Ashton Kutcher had better pack some cashmere booties, 'cause we hear it's cold in space.

Richard Branson, he of the Virgin empire, announced that "Two and a Half Men" star Kutcher was the 500th customer of his Virgin Galactic space commercial line — dropping $200,000 to climb on board the craft that lets mere mortals cruise above the planet.

"Our 500th future astronaut customer has just signed up! Even better news is that number 500 is Ashton Kutcher. I gave Ashton a quick call to congratulate and welcome him," Branson said on his blog.

"He is as thrilled as we are at the prospect of being among the first to cross the final frontier (and back!) with us and to experience the magic of space for himself."

Branson said Kutcher is taking the ride with entrepreneur pal Shervin Pishevar, customer No. 499, as the men realized that they "both shared a childhood dream of going to space."  

Without going all Bill Nye the Science Guy on the explanation, we tap our tech pals for an assist: Virgin Galactic will offer its customers suborbital flights, which will climb to the edge of space, or about 60 miles above the Earth's surface. At that altitude, passengers will experience weightlessness and see the curvature of the Earth.

Other celebrities reported to have snatched up future flights include Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and Katy Perry. Virgin Galactic is, according to Branson, "in the final stages of our exhaustive test flight program."

'Hunger Games': Lenny Kravitz had bisexual inspiration for Cinna

Lenny Kravitz based Cinna on a bisexual pal

"The Hunger Games" is like Hollywood in that choosing the right stylist is a matter of life or death.

In the film, Lenny Kravitz has the task of playing Cinna, the man responsible for Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen making a solid aesthetic impression to save her life — and now the rocker and actor is speaking up about the fluid sexuality he installed to bring the visionary guy to life.

"I’ll be quite frank with you, I didn’t know about 'Hunger Games,' so when I’m telling kids and they say, 'Who are you playing?' and I say Cinna, they go, ‘Oh, you’re playing the gay guy.' That was an actual answer," he told Celebuzz. 

"So I thought about it, and I read the book, and I don’t see that he is or isn't [gay]. He's a designer, he's a stylist, he has gold eyeliner — that doesn’t mean anything either way."

So how did Kravitz build the sleek bone and tissue for Cinna? By basing him on one of his friends.

"I actually have a friend who is a dancer who is bisexual, and he was a lot of inspiration for my speech pattern and my rhythm, and kind of the way I sauntered in and out a little bit," he said. 

Kravitz goes on to say the gist was to play Cinna down the middle, like legendary designers Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent. 

While Lenny put some thought into the sexual motivations of the Capitol citizen, his costar Elizabeth Banks took a broader view.

"I always read the Capitol as [messed] up pansexuality, everybody is doing everybody," Banks told the site. "Back to Greek and Roman times! It's all happening."

Beyonce announces post-baby concerts for Memorial Day weekend

Beyonce and Jay-Z

Don't call it a comeback -- but Beyonce has booked her first singing gig since giving birth to her and Jay-Z's baby, Blue Ivy.

The working mom will perform on three dates over Memorial Day weekend as part of the grand opening festivities for Revel Resorts in Atlantic City, N.J.

While the Ministry can't imagine the booking fees for such an intimate engagement, we're thrilled Bey is back on her grind -- these dates are just the tip of the iceberg in a slate that also includes Clint Eastwood's "A Star Is Born" update and a possible movie musical with Gwyneth Paltrow and Cameron Diaz.

The show will go off at Revel's Ovation Hall on May 25, 26 and 27, with tickets available starting April 6. Perhaps concertgoers will be treated to some of the new material the "Single Ladies" singer is developing.

Two records are reportedly in the works, according to producer Ryan Tedder of the band OneRepublic.

"All I can say is you kind of feed her the best that you have, and she's this phenomenal filter and she takes it all in," he said last month.
