PALTROW PREGO!
We heard the news before it hit the papers and were just dying to tell you! Our best blonde friend (BBF) is avec enfant. We can't wait to see her marvelous maternity ensembles like this {swell} cocktail dress. So exciting for the oft lovelorn Paltrow who we all know has had a difficult year. We are grateful she did not go this route with Affleck and ultimately end up with a rugrat dubbed "BenGwyn." Also, remember when we reported that Gywneth and Madge were on the outs because Madonna accused G. of "copying" her? If so, this preg-out-of-wedlock-with-a-Brit thing does not give evidence to the contrary. We ask one burning question, can you still be Macrobiotic and pregnant? Let's ask Madonna. Oh, one last bit of gossip ... we hear that Gwyneth is really married to Chris Martin and that's she's expecting a girl. Let's see if this rumor bears fruit.

SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE
If an Oscar-winning, 5'11-strutting, porcelain skinned Aussie doesn't turn your crank then perhaps you have issues. It's been reported that uber-fox and notorious modelizer Lenny has been blabbing about how he's not so into the coltish Miss Kidman. Friends of Lenny were quoted as saying that he is "spending a lot of time with her partly because her fame helps raise his profile and sell records". Totally tragic if true. PS: This photo shows Lenny pressed up against a gal-pal he was "grinding" on a Miami dance floor. This twosome was also spied taking a ride in his Ferrari 2 weeks ago.
