MOTHER MAY I?
We know that we have reported on the whole Madonna and Gwyneth copying thing many times over, but doesn't our queen bear and uncanny resemblance to Momma M (minus the Restalyne)? The center-part and soft waves in the hair, the freakishly skinny yoga arms while pregnant, the fair-weather penchant for being macrobiotic only when it's "in" to have requisite dietary restrictions? Next thing you know we'll be hearing about Madonna handing down a Moses on the Mount-style decree to her fellow devout raw foodists/macrobiots Demi, and GP that keeping Kabbalah-style Kosher is wayyyyy cool because mixing milk and meat is strictly for B-list Scientologists.

YOU'RE ALL GROWNS UP
To quote the legendary band Survivor, "The Search is Over"....the most talented Mouseketeer (and the one who will have career longevity) has finally found her proverbial Mickey. He comes in the form of a nice Jewish boy with a steady job whose name is Jordan "Jordy" Bratman. We here at Splendora can give you his nickname because one of our insiders went to college with Jordan's BFF. Anywho, the word via the press leak (a.k.a. Jordan's Grandmutha) is that he bought Christina a stunning sparkler and the pair is betrothed after being a couple for quite some time. So when you're covertly watching TRL at the gym and they have their 1st report on Chrissy's engagement you can say in the words of teen trouble maker Hillary Duff that the news is "So Yesterday" (obviously we're in a music quoting mood.)
