Rumors continue to swirl around the impending breakup of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin (which I bet safely will be through by the end of 2010) and now even Gwyneth’s mom Blythe Danner is wieghing in.

In response to the fact that the couple is never photographed together, she says, ““They don’t take pictures together if they can avoid it. It’s a strategy. They don’t want the pandemonium.” And in case you’re wondering where to send the Christmas card, Danner adds, “They’re staying in England for the new year. Then coming here.”

The countdown to divorceville is on, people. In the meantime, expect them to make a few public appearances together in a big show of solidarity.

Better save for dinner, Alissa. I’m ordering seconds.

Jessica Alba recently travelled to 1994 and returned sporting some serious bangs.

In her new flick, Plan B, Jennifer Lopez plays a woman who becomes pregnant via artificial insemination because she can’t bag a man. Of course, Mr. Perfect shows up the day she finds out she’s pregnant.

It’s pretty ironic that Plan B is the name of the Morning After Pill, which prevents conception the day after an Oopsie. 

Imagine Mr. Perfect showing up when you’re buying that. Awkward…

You know that the creative juices have officially been drained from Hollywood when they start coming out with more remakes and sequels than they do original material. And the originality drought has spread to Broadway, which is crammed with adaptations of hit films like Shrek and Legally Blonde. 

It’s really embarrassing. 

Right here and now, I am predicting that there will be either a remake, sequel, prequel or a musical adaptation of Back to the Future. I can’t tell you when it will happen, but I just know.

I hope it’s soon. I need more Christopher Lloyd in my life.

Remember how young they were when Titanic came out?

Remember how awful the Writers’ Strike was last year? Without anyone to churn out scripts, dozens of primetime TV shows stalled, film productions were delayed and the tube was overrun with reality shows. 

Now imagine if the actors went on strike.

Members of the Screen Actors Guild are royally ticked at the Alliance of Motion Picture and TV Producers (i.e., the Big Studios), who have not renewed their contract after it expired at the end of June. Since then, they’ve been squabbling over compensation and residuals and now a whole bunch of famous folk are ready to go on strike.

A “statement of support” was released by a slew of big names, including Mel Gibson, Ed Harris, Holly Hunter, Martin Sheen and Sandra Oh, to promote the strike-authorization vote scheduled for January 2.

But here’s the twist.

Bigger stars such as Tom Hanks, George Clooney, Alec Baldwin, Steve Carrell, Jennifer Garner, Charlize Theron, Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, Pierce Brosnan, Ewan McGregor, Billy Crystal, Edward Norton, Tobey Maguire and others have all signed a petition to oppose the strike.

The petition says:

“We feel very strongly that SAG members should not vote to authorize a strike at this time. We don’t think that an authorization can be looked at as merely a bargaining tool. It must be looked at as what it is—an agreement to strike if negotiations fail. We support our union and we support the issues we’re fighting for, but we do not believe in all good conscience that now is the time to be putting people out of work.”

Damn Right! Even the rich people know it’s rough out there.

We’ll see what happens on the 2nd.

Mazel tov to Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber on the birth of their new baby boy, who joins brother Alex. 

Thank goodness. Have you seen Naomi lately? The poor thing looked like she was going to explode.

I hope they don’t give him one of those weird Hollywood names, like Cheeseball or Mayflower.

I’m a little disturbed right now.

I just read on eonline.com that music legend Stevie Wonder is considering competing on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. 

That’s all well and good and makes me love America, but I was a little taken aback by the rest of the post. The writer linked Wonder, who is blind, with past competitors Marlee Matlin (referred to as a “deaf dynamo”) and Heather Mills (christened here as an “amputee/divorce lottery winner”) for obvious reasons. Then they proposed a poll for readers to comment on their “left-of-center” favorites.

Left-of-center? What the hell does that mean?

Where is this alleged center and who is in it exactly? Why are people like Stevie on the left? What’s wrong with the right? Is there no more room in the back?

Just tell it straight, people: If you ain’t rich, white and perfect, step aside.

Talk about sibling rivalry.

Every time I see a picture of Suri Cruise’s 2-year-old punam, I can’t help but feel sorry for Connor and Isabella Cruise, Tom’s adopted children with Nicole Kidman. 

Seemingly overnight, they’ve been demoted to Cruise’s “other” or “adopted” children. Cruise himself recently told Jay Leno that “it’s different when [a baby] is your own”.

Ouch.  

With Nicole Kidman tucked away in Nashville with her cozy new family (baby Sunday Rose with husband Keith Urban) are these children getting any attention?

I hope so.
