Baby and Bump Obsession Rachel Bilson & Hayden Christensen are having a baby US Weekly reports that Rachel Bilson is pregnant with Hayden Christensen’s baby. Timing seems about right, right?

Lainey Interviews Intro for May 21, 2014 Dear Gossips, I’m still high on Angelina Jolie. Even after a rough weekend with no sleep and two flights in less than 24 hours and 3 shoots yesterday, on top of writing the blog, I can’t find anything to complain about.

Maple Leaf Leo & Bieber in Cannes Leonardo DiCaprio has no official reason to be in Cannes. Actually that’s not true. His official reason for being in Cannes is To Party. Always.

Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth & Chris: consciously uncoupled inseparable Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin were out for dinner on Saturday night. They went to the Chateau Marmont. Not exactly low profile.
