Jennifer aniston plans to toast the New Year with some old friends in Mexico – and it looks like she won't have to travel far for a New Year's Eve kiss.

Bristol Palin Gives Birth to Baby Boy!
The Palins welcome a baby!
Bristol Palin, the daughter of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, and her fiance, Levi Johnston, have given birth to a boy, named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, according to TMZ. Bristol delivered Tripp on Sunday.
"I'm going to take him hunting and fishing," Johnston said of his son back in October. "He'll be everywhere with me."
"I'm going to take him hunting and fishing," Johnston said of his son back in October. "He'll be everywhere with me."
Bristol, 18, and Johnston, 18, are engaged and plan to wed this summer.
Johnston -- a hockey player from Wasilla, Alaska, who dropped out of high school to take a job as an apprentice electrician -- was by Bristol's side throughout the campaign and even displayed a "Bristol" tattoo on his ring finger at the GOP convention. He told the Associated Press that there had been no pressure put on him to marry Bristol and that the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.
"We both love each other," Johnston said. "We both want to marry each other. And that's what we are going to do. We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid."
Johnston has been optimistic about parenthood throughout the pregnancy.
"We're up for it," he said. "I'm excited to have my first kid. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but we can handle it."
Two days before Bristol was due to give birth, Johnston's mother was arrested in an undercover drug investigation. Sherry Johnston was charged with six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance.
As for Palin, in addition to being the first woman nominated by the Republican Party to run on a national ticket, she is now also a first-time grandmother. The new baby also comes eight months after Palin, 44, gave birth to her and husband Todd's fifth child, Trig.
On Sept. 1, just days after Senator John McCain made Palin his running mate, the Alaskan governor announced that Bristol was five months pregnant and that she intended to keep the baby and marry Johnston.
"Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned, " the Palins wrote in a statement. "As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support. Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family."
Palin also asked the media to respect the young couple's privacy, as has been the tradition of children of candidates. During the campaign, however, Bristol's teenage pregnancy came up in several debates about Palin's pro-life platform.
Even Lindsay Lohan thought the coverage of the mom-to-be was distracting.
"I get Sarah Palin's views against abortion, but I would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country, rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what," Lohan said in September.

Introducing Bronx Mowgli Wentz!
Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz debuted the first photo of their 1-month-old son on his Web site on Christmas day.
"Happy Holidays to all of our friends! Love Pete, Ashlee and Bronx," the holiday e-card reads.
“We decided to share the best gift we could ever receive with you: Bronx Mowgli Wentz. We couldn’t be happier. And in the spirit of the holidays, we’d like to encourage you to give on your own," the couple writes. "Below is a list of worthwhile charities that need your support: TheIRC.com, RoomToGrow.org and RichieMaddenFoundation.com."
Wentz blogged earlier this month that "like every celeb couple, we were offered mounds and mounds of money by mags, from here to Guam, to pimp out the baby. We just don't want to go down that road with him.
"We are not placing judgment on those that do, as they often use the money in a very charitable way," he said. "However, we have made the decision to not sell Bronx's baby pictures right now."

Michael Jackson Need Lung Transplant
Michael Jackson, the self-proclaimed King of Pop, needs a lung transplant because he's suffering from a rare respiratory condition, according to the author of a new Jackson biography.
Author Ian Halperin told In Touch magazine and Britain's Sunday Express newspaper that the reclusive performer may even be fighting for his life, the Houston Chronicle newspaper reported on its Web site.
Halperin said Jackson has been diagnosed with Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency, an occasionally fatal genetic condition.
"He's had it for years, but it's gotten worse,'' Halperin told In Touch. "He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It's the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him,'' according to the Chronicle.
Jackson "can barely speak" and "the vision in his left eye is 95 percent gone," Halperin said.
Jackson's spokesman was unavailable for comment Sunday. But the singer's brother Jermaine didn't deny the reports, telling Fox News, "He's not doing so well right now. This isn't a good time," the Chronicle reported.
Dr. Len Horovitz, a pulmonary specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, treated Jackson at Lenox Hill in 1999.
"Alpha-1-anti-trypsin deficiency is a relatively rare genetic disorder that becomes apparent in young adulthood and early middle age, especially if smoking is added to the equation," Horovitz said in a hospital news release. "The liver can also be affected, causing cirrhosis. The disease produces an early-onset emphysema, just as one might see in an older smoker. Treatment for mild or moderate cases involves infusions of a specific medication. In advanced stages, a lung transplant may be necessary.
"Since this is a genetic disorder, other members of the Jackson family must be tested for this genetic variant," Horovitz added.

Oprah Winfrey Admits to Tipping the Scales at 200 Lbs.
Having packed 40 pounds onto her former 160-pound self, Oprah Winfrey is declaring, "I'm mad at myself" because she's "fallen off the wagon."
As the media mogul, 54, writes in the January issue of her O magazine hitting newsstands Tuesday (and provided in advance to the Associated Press by Winfrey's Harpo Productions): "I'm embarrassed … I can't believe that after all these years, all the things I know how to do, I'm still talking about my weight. I look at my thinner self and think, 'How did I let this happen again?' "
For starters, the fact that her thyroid was out-of-balance gave her "a fear of working out," she says. "I was so frustrated I started eating whatever I wanted – and that's never good."
Having slimmed down to 160 in 2006, she admits, "Yes, you're adding correctly. That means the dreaded 2-0-0."
Past Diets
Winfrey memorably revealed her new look on her show in 1988 – by wheeling out a wagon loaded with fat to represent the 67 pounds she had shed. On that episode, she sported a pair of size 10 Calvin Klein jeans."My greatest failure was in believing that the weight issue was just about the weight," Winfrey told PEOPLE in 1991. "It's about not handling stress properly."
But when it came to slipping into those jeans, "I had literally starved myself for four months [on a liquid-protein diet] – not a morsel of food," Winfrey, an admitted food addict, said in 2005. "Two hours after that show, I started eating to celebrate – of course, within two days those jeans no longer fit!"
Winfrey's weight has long been a topic on her show – and even for late-night hosts. In 1990, she hit 237 pounds, eventually prompting her in 1996 to enlist personal trainer Bob Greene. At the time, she said she had wanted to bring an end to her roller-coaster weight saga.
'Felt Like a Fat Cow'
Choosing a gown for the Barack Obama inauguration coming up in January, however, made Winfrey realize her self-image was no longer jibed with the person standing on the scales – though the real low point occurred last April."I felt like a fat cow," Winfrey writes of the occasion when she sought to skip out on a Las Vegas show taping with Cher and Tina Turner. "I wanted to disappear."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Winfrey's weight and height rank her as obese, with a body mass index of 31.8 – putting her at "at higher risk for chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol," says the CDC.
Winfrey intends to address the issue on The Oprah Winfrey Show, which will kick off Best Life Week Jan. 5.
She is also expected to discuss her weight that same day on her XM satellite radio station's The Gayle King Show. Winfrey will also host interactive live Web casts at Oprah.com the week of Jan. 12 to 16, nightly at 9 p.m. ET.

Keanu Reeves would consider ‘Speed 3’
Keanu Reeves is no stranger to sequels; he appeared in the “Matrix” trilogy and made two “Bill & Ted’s” movies, but would the actor be interested in returning to the “Speed” franchise?
It might surprise fans that Reeves would ever even consider stepping into the role for Officer Jack Traven again after skipping the franchise’s nautical-themed sequel, “Speed 2: Cruise Control,” but Reeves said it’s not an impossibility.
When asked about the possibility of another speedometer-themed flick, the actor was resistant… at first.
“Probably not,” Reeves first said, but then added, “Never say never, right?”
The actor noted that all of the projects he selects are based on the quality of the movie’s script.
Asked if he had an issue with the script for a third “Speed,” Reeves remained mum, but he did say he thinks he would enjoy working with co-star Sandra Bullock again.
“Sandra and I could probably do something pretty groovy with that,” he said.
Reeves even offered up a few of his own story ideas.
“Maybe (if) we were traveling through Europe… maybe on the Serengeti, and there was some kind of mishap,” the actor added. “It could be like a world tour. (Or) maybe we could go to Polynesia and then take us all across the world. Maybe if we shot for like four months and we have like a week off in every country, telling this kind of adventurous story for this couple.”

The pair are planning a small, intimate ceremony with only a few close friends and family.

Of the preparations, DeGeneres joked, "Planning a wedding is very stressful. It's crazy. My gardener is now invited."
DeGeneres and de Rossi began dating in December 2004.

Despite Cruise's comedic twist, some are slamming the comedy – about a group of actors shooting a big-budget war movie — for depicting a negative portrayal of those with mental handicaps. (Robert Downey Jr. also wears a blackface, a racially-charged, old showbiz convention.)
Across the street, protestors held signs, screaming "Tropic Thunder Colossal Blunder!" and "Ban the Movie!"
"I happen to disagree with them in regards to our film," actor Justin Theroux told Us of the protestors. "It’s a shame that they are out there, and I hope that when it comes out, they will actually see the jokes for what they are — a deep cutting satire of Hollywood and the stars."
Said Jack Black: "Everyone has the right to protest. It’s a free country. Anytime that anyone feels that they are justified in their heart, more power to them.
"I just think that the movie speaks for itself, and it’s amazing. I stand behind it, and I am so proud of this movie," he added. "It’s the best movie ever and my favorite movie of the year. That’s my comment.”

Angelina Jolie’s “Wanted” Character Will Be Spoofed by Carmen Electra
Carmen Electra, who is a 36-year-old actress, explained during Comic Con in San Diego, California: “When we shot the scene, the movie wasn’t even out yet. We literally just watched one scene in the trailer and sort of spoofed that.”
The stunning actress says she’s not concerned about Angelina Jolie’s reaction because it’s “not anything personal, saying: “It was more about the bullet and sort of bending it the way her character did.”
Her co-star Kim Kardashian thinks that Angelina Jolie will approve the spoof. The 27-year-old actress revealed: “She’s going to think it’s hot, because Carmen looks hot, and did it justice. It’s all good.”

She revealed: “I do love all the High School Musical girls – They are all adorable. My little sisters have seen the movie dozens of times.”

Mary-Kate Olsen doesn't know where Heath Ledger got the drugs that killed him, and she has already provided investigators with "relevant information," her lawyer says in a statement.
"Despite tabloid speculation, Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them," said the statement from attorney Michael C. Miller on Monday.
The statement was released following a report, confirmed by PEOPLE, that Olsen, 22, wants immunity from prosecution before she will cooperate with a federal investigation into close friend Ledger's death from an accidental overdose.
"Regarding the government's investigation, at Ms. Olsen's request, we have provided the government with relevant information including facts in the chronology of events surrounding Mr. Ledger's death and the fact that Ms. Olsen does not know the source of the drugs Mr. Ledger consumed," the statement from her attorney continues.
The statement concludes: "We don't know the source of the information being quoted in the media regarding the government's inquiry, but these descriptions are incomplete and inaccurate."

Report: Pregnant Man Gives Birth
Buzz up!
Thomas Beatie — a.k.a. the "pregnant man" — gave birth to a baby girl on Friday in Oregon, ABC News reports.
Beatie, 34, who was born a woman, had his breasts surgically removed and legally changed his gender from female to male, he revealed on The Oprah Winfrey Show in April.
Although he took hormones and lived as a man, he said he kept his female sex organs in hopes to get pregnant one day.
He said his pregnancy was a "human desire" and that as a person he has "the right to have my own biological child."

Being pregnant, said Beatie, did not make him feel more feminine.
"It doesn't make me want to go and shave my legs or something," he told Winfrey. "I'm a man, I just happen to be a pregnant man."
The most important message, said Beatie: "Different is normal and love makes a family. And that's all that matters."

Singer Britney Spears Has Overnight Visit With Her Boys
Britney Spears
Britney Spears was granted by the court the right to spend Mother's Day with her kids Sean Preston and Jayden at her house in Beverly Hills May 12, 2008.
Britney Spears spent Saturday night with her boys at her Los Angeles home.
It was the singer's first overnight visit with Sean Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden James, 1 1/2, since she was hospitalized at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in January.
The boys were dropped off Saturday and picked up around 10 a.m. Sunday, according to a source.
"Britney was very upset after the kids left," the source tells Usmagazine.com. "She now does not know when she will get them next for an overnight. She complains it could be next week, or it could be three months."
At a hearing last Tuesday, Spears, 26, was granted overnight privileges.
Asked if she were pleased with the judge's ruling, she smiled and told Us, "yes."
Meanwhile, Spears and ex Kevin Federline — who was spotted partying in Miami over the weekend — are gearing up for a custody trial, set to begin August 25.
Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told E! that a mediation session last Thursday didn't result in a custody agreement.
Federline is seeking sole physical and legal custody of sons Preston, 2 1/2, and Jayden, 1 1/2 and wants Spears to continue her current visitation terms.
Said Kaplan, "If the existing arrangement was acceptable to both parties ... we wouldn't have to go to trial. But that didn't happen."

Lindsay Lohan May Have A Secret Sister
The ‘Mean Girls’ actress’ dad Michael fathered a daughter while he was still married, although estranged at the time from Lindsay’s mother Dina.
Speaking about the relationship over 13 years ago, Michael - who has three other children, Michael, Ali and Cody, with Dina - told America’s OK! magazine: “Years later the woman contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child.”
Michael - who married Dina in 1985 before they divorced in 2007 - has even written letters to the girl’s mother saying his illegitimate daughter “is beginning to look a lot like Linds, with a mix of Cody, believe it or not”.
He also sent his daughter a photograph of himself, which he signed ‘Love Daddy’.
The girl’s mother says that while Michael called his daughter on her 13th birthday in June and has had many conversations with her, he has never visited her or provided financial support.

Madonna's mother-in-law is on the attack following a deluge of reports that the Material Girl's marriage to Guy Ritchie is on the rocks.
There has been "no conversation about divorce because there is no divorce," Amber Leighton told Britain's Daily Mail.
Leighton also described reports that the couple have spoken to divorce lawyers as "works of fiction."
"They are no different to most other couples," she said. "We all know that being together can be hard sometimes and marriages are not always a bed of roses."
Although Madonna and Ritchie have been plagued with break-up rumors in the past, lately things have reached a feverish pitch.
The London Times reported last week that the Material Girl has met with attorney Fiona Shackleton, who represented Paul McCartney and Prince Charles in their respective divorces. Ritchie also reportedly consulted a lawyer.
Just days before, Britain's The Mirror newspaper quoted a friend of the couple who said the two are planning to split in November after Madonna's Sticky 'n' Sweet world tour wraps.
Several publications took note when Madonna was spotted in New York this weekend without her wedding ring. However, Madge has often gone ringless - alongside her husband - in the seven years that couple have been married.
Madonna told MTV in 2005 that she wanted to leave Ritchie at one point. "I got married for all the wrong reasons," she said.
Madonna's publicist has maintained that the couple is not getting divorced. Neither the singer nor Ritchie have publicly refuted the reports.

Will Smith: Attacks on Tom Cruise Were "Painful for Me to See"
Tom Cruise and Will Smith Will Smith and Tom Cruise at the Will Smith Foot and Handprint Ceremony at the Grauman's Chinese Theater on December 10, 2007 in Hollywood, California. Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Buzz up! Will Smith defends his pal Tom Cruise in a new interview with USA Today. He said the criticism Cruise, 45, has received for his Scientology faith has been "painful for me to see. I've met very few people committed to goodness the way Tom is." The Hancock star, 39 — who was rumored to have converted to Scientology after speaking out about the controversial religion — was raised Baptist and said he remains Christian. "We disagree on a lot of things," added Smith, who attended Nelson Mandella's 90th birthday in London on Wednesday. "But even with different faiths and different beliefs, at the end of the day, goodness is goodness." He said that their friendship thrives on rivalry. They currently compete to see who can sign autographs longer. "It's hard to beat that dude," Smith said. "He has another gear. He did two-and-a-half hours in France for Mission: Impossible on the red carpet. Now when I go to France, people will say, 'You know, Tom was out here for two-and-a-half hours.'" He also opened up about raising his children Willow, 7, and Jaden, 9 (whom he had with wife Jada Pinkett) and son Trey, 15, (from a previous marriage). "The kids can do anything they want, as long as Daddy thinks it's funny," he says. "And artistically, that's where you need to be, too. You have to find the humor in things." The same rule applies to tabloid rumors about his life. "You have to let that roll off you," he said. "There's a natural narcotic my brain must pump, because negativity doesn't last. It's strange to play a guy like Hancock, who can't find something to feel good about. That's the opposite of who I am." thanks

By Alex Dobuzinskis
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Cartoon character Tinkerbell, singer Shakira and "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. and actress Cameron Diaz were among a diverse group of 25 stars named on Thursday to join the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce said the celebrities will each get their star on its Walk of Fame next year, but the dates have not been announced.
The Walk of Fame is a stretch of sidewalk lining either side of Hollywood Boulevard on which celebrities in music, movies, television and other entertainment arenas have their names emblazoned in brass set into large, pink terrazzo stars.
For celebrities, a star can be a memorial that lasts for decades, and millions of tourists who visit downtown Hollywood annually get to see the names, talk about their favorite actors and actresses and take pictures near the stars.
A committee of the Chamber of Commerce chose the 25 stars from among hundreds of nominations.
Others on the list include director Tim Burton, and actors Sir Ben Kingsley, William H. Macy and Hugh Jackman. Among the television stars are Macy's wife, Felicity Huffman, producer Mark Burnett and music stars include Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds and disco-era band The Village People.

Carmen Electra
Carmen Electra has laughed off reports she is getting cold feet about marrying former KORN guitarist Rob Patterson, insisting she in no hurry to walk down the aisle.
The Scary Movie star became engaged to the rock musician during the weekend of her 36th birthday (20Apr08) - and has faced constant questioning about when the big day will be.
Carmen Electra tells People.com, “It’s funny, everyone else puts so much pressure, (asking), ‘When are you getting married?’
“If it was up to everybody else, we’d be married and divorced already.”
The twice-divorced model/actress recently travelled to Boston, Massachusetts to meet Patterson’s parents.
She adds, “We’re taking it slow, and we’re happy.”
