I quit reading gossip mags or reading entertainment things a while ago. Here is all I get. I am happy for them.

Congrats to them, but Captain Jack is the first thing that came to mind with that name for sure!

Sparrow for a boy? Congrats to them both! James Midnight is cool, though.

I can't listen to the volume on the video right now - is it a joke or serious?

Wow! Thanks for replying. I love her! It seems an odd choice but I'm sure she'd become good at it.

Now they are saying she signed for 5 years!

I think I am one of the few who is against this. I explained why in the AI area, but it really doesn't matter. I'm just not thrilled.

I'm not interested in seeing Ellen Degeneres on American Idol, but I don't think DiGuardia (whatever her name is) adds anything, and I got sick of watching Paula loll around loaded every week. She should have been fired years ago. DeGeneres will just cause me to watch less, not more.

What does Ellen know about singing? How is she qualified to judge?

If you watch her clip she admits she is not an expert. She is going to judge the contestants the same way us viewers at home do, based on who we like and who's CD we'd buy. She's representing US!

Katherine Heigle and her husband are adopting!
Katherine Heigl's family tree is sprouting a new limb.

The Grey's Anatomy star, whose impending hiatus makes so much more sense now, is planning to adopt a baby girl with her singer-songwriter hubby Josh Kelley.

Congratulations to the parents-to-be!

In a sit-down with Ellen DeGeneres, airing tomorrow on Ellen, Heigl says that their child is from Korea and will be 10 months old at the end of the month.

"She was actually born the day before me in November which I thought was really serendipitous and just kind of like a sign," Heigl said. "I realized just recently that I basically forfeited my birthday for the rest of my life."

Heigl goes on to talk about filling out the "super detailed" 40-page adoption pamphlet and why she has always known that adoption was the right choice for her.

"It's been a big part of my life and my family," the 30-year-old actress said. "My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her back in the 70s and so I just always knew that this is something I wanted to do."

"I just wanted to make sure that I was marrying a guy who understands that this was going to have to happen," she continued. "So about a year ago is when we said, 'OK, let's start the process,' and the process is intense. It's different but it isn't, do you know what I mean? It's just as intense I'm sure to have a baby biologically because you're going through the whole physical sort of thing of it."

Heigl has said that her role in Knocked Up made her extra enthusiastic about the idea of adoption.

"I've always planned to adopt anyway, but that definitely reinforced my want to," she told USA Today in 2007. "I'm done with the whole idea of having my own children. Doesn't seem like any fun. I don't think it's necessary to go through all of that."

But, the idea of kids was always a definite yes.

"I'm super excited to have a family," she told Extra right before she got married. "I've always wanted a family, a large family. [We'll wait] like, a year."

Heigl and Kelley swapped vows on Dec. 23, 2007 in Park City, Utah.

And here they are, planning for a lifetime.

I went looking for this the other day and posted it in my folder. LOL!

Not sure it qualifies her as an AI Judge, but I'll bet she'll be fun.

At least we will be laughing with her and not at her.

Congrats to the Heigl/Kelley clan.

I think Ellen will be a good judge. She won't hurt feelings, either. She'll be good opposite Simon.

Cancer Forces Maura Tierney Off New Show

Having revealed in July she was undergoing surgery for removal of a breast tumor, Maura Tierney has now withdrawn from her upcoming series Parenthood, say trade reports.

The star's spokeswoman told the Hollywood Reporter that the former ER actress, 44, is "deeply disappointed" not to be participating in the NBC show, and that "Ms. Tierney and her doctors remain confident that the outcome of her treatments will be positive."

On the show, which is based on the 1989 movie that starred Steve Martin and Mary Steenburgen, Tierney was to have played a sister-in-law role, which Dianne Wiest performed in the movie. The TV version will star Peter Krause, Erika Christensen, Dax Shepard, Bonnie Bedelia and Craig T. Nelson.

Tierney's operation had already pushed back the series' original fall debut date, and Parenthood will now be offered mid-season.

In a network's statement, NBC said, "While we are saddened that Maura Tierney won't be able to continue in her current role in Parenthood, our main concern is for her quick and full recovery. Our thoughts and best wishes are with her."

Through her spokesperson, Tierney thanked the executive producer and NBC "for their patience and support."

Judge: Seinfeld book doesn't violate trademark
NEW YORK – A federal judge Thursday tossed out a cookbook author's claim that comedian Jerry Seinfeld's wife was a culinary copycat when she came out with her own book explaining how to entice children to eat vegetables.

U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain threw out the lawsuit brought against the Seinfeld couple by Missy Chase Lapine.

The judge rejected Lapine's claims against Jessica Seinfeld, saying that the books, both best sellers, were not similar except for their goal of hiding healthy food inside the favorite meals of children.

She called Lapine's book "a dry, rather text-heavy work" done predominantly in black, gray and shades of brownish-orange. She said Seinfeld's book was "bright and cheerful, full of different colors and various patterns." Consumers who looked at each book were unlikely to be confused, the judge said, tossing out trademark infringement claims.

However, the judge declined to rule on Lapine's claim that Jerry Seinfeld libeled her on David Letterman's show last year when he noted her three names and joked that people with three names — including James Earl Ray and Mark David Chapman — have turned out to be assassins.

She said those claims did not belong in federal court but should instead be filed in state court, where Lapine's lawyer, Howard Miller, said he planned to bring them.

"They are still very much alive," he said of the slander claims, along with claims against News Corp.'s HarperCollins that the publisher misappropriated information from Lapine's book when it rejected her proposal in February and May 2006. Miller said the decision hasn't been made on whether to appeal Swain's rejection of all claims against Jessica Seinfeld.

Lapine's book, titled: "The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals," was published in April 2007 by Running Press, an imprint of Perseus Books Group. Seinfeld's cookbook, titled: "Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food," was published in October 2007 by Collins, an imprint of HarperCollins.

Orin Snyder, a lawyer for the Seinfelds, called the ruling an "unequivocal victory" against "opportunistic and meritless claims" against Jessica Seinfeld.

"This confirms what we've been saying all along, that this is a trumped up claim," he said.

"Jessica did not copy anything from anyone and created her best-selling cookbook in her own kitchen from her own experiences," he said.

What sad news for Maura. I really hope she's better soon.
