Gwen Stefani has announced that she’s pregnant. Well, technically Gwen hasn’t announced it so much as her mother and Gavin’s father did … leave it to the grandparents.

The 36-year-old pop star and Gavin Rossdale, 38, were married three years ago. The baby is due in June, the magazine reported Tuesday.

“We are delighted,” Us Weekly quotes Rossdale’s father, Douglas, as saying. Stefani’s mother, Patti, also reportedly confirmed the pregnancy to the magazine.

If it’s a girl Gwen will have one more person to add to her harajuku posse.

Charlize Theron has reportedly turned down the chance to be the next Bond girl.

The stunning blonde is the latest big-name actress to snub the role opposite new Bond, Daniel Craig.

Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson also turned down the role - leaving film bosses with only a month to find a top female star for the movie.

Meanwhile, Craig has admitted he is struggling to overcome his biggest fear to play James Bond - he’s terrified of guns.

Not only is he scared of guns, he also dislikes Bond’s signature drink, Martini shaken, not stirred. It looks like the studio has a flop in the making. Whoever’s choice it was to get rid of Pierce Brosnan in Favor of Daniel Craig, good job … you’re fired.

Jennifer Aniston misses the Friends series so much that she has revealed she secretly visits the old set.

The sexy star said she found it very difficult after the sit-com was first axed because she knew she would never go back to the set with all her close pals and co-stars.

The actress revealed: “When I was making ‘Rumour Has It’, I was very close to the old ‘Friends’ set and went to visit it - which was pathetic. When August rolled around and normally, I was ready to go back to ‘Friends’, I sat there for about a day and went, ‘well, this is awkward’, but it just happens.

Speaking of Rumor Has It … rumor has it that the movie is an absolute bomb. Jennifer is getting absolutely no love from the critics.

Jennifer Aniston, whose last movie Derailed was derailed by critics and largely ignored by audiences, could use big-screen hit. But according to trade industry reviews, her new one, Rumor Has It …, opening Christmas Day, has bleak box-office prospects.

“A Wreck” reads the headline above the review in the Hollywood Reporter. Variety opens its critique by labeling the comedy-drama “as muddled in most respects as its title.” Both papers predict poor ticket sales.

Perhaps one of these days Jennifer will find herself starring in another hit like Office Space. Of course, you can’t really credit her acting ability for the film’s success.

Thousands of customers have cried foul for receiving outrageous bills after signing up to receive the Crazy Frog ringtone.

Many were unaware that by texting a number to receive the ringtone, they were also signing up for a series of at premium rate reverse-charge texts from Jamba.

The ruling from premium rate services regulator, Icstis, found that while a great deal of thought had been put into producing the Crazy Frog advertisements, the same could not be said about the terms and conditions.

These terms omitted significant information and were unclear about what the service entailed, it said.

The company has been fined almost $80,000 and was ordered to refund its customers who filed direct complaints.

34,000 members of the Transport Workers Union went on strike at midnight after negotiations over their contract fell through. This left millions of New Yorkers stranded and forced to find other means of transportation.

An average of seven million people ride the subway every day, and the disruption will prevent people from going to work, cause millions of dollars in economic damage and seriously upend the life of the city in the week before Christmas. Local 100 of the Transport Workers Union, which represents 33,700 subway and bus workers, announced its first strike in 25 years this morning after feverish last-minute negotiations faltered over the transportation authority’s demands for concessions on pension and health benefits for future employees.

The Union said that they are tired of being underappreciated. Well, you know what, a lot of people go underappreciated at their job — if they really don’t like it, then they quit and look for something else. Bringing a major city to a halt one week before Christmas is just ludicrous. Damn unions…

It appears as though Scarlett Johansson is at the center of a growing trend. So who is your pick, Scarlett Johansson, Monica Bellucci or Brittany Murphy?

Paris Hilton has been accused of wearing her dead pets - after being named the worst-dressed celebrity by PETA.

The blonde socialite, who is renowned for her menagerie of pets as well as her penchant for fur, topped the annual poll by the animal-rights activists.

A PETA spokesperson quipped: “Now we know what happens to all of Paris Hilton’s cast-off pets.”

Paris Hilton has done more than her fair share of stupid antics, but I just can’t believe that wearing the fur of her dead pets is one of them, especially when it’s PETA that’s making the claim.

George Bush has admitted that he gave the order to spy on Americans.

President Bush acknowledged on Saturday that he had ordered the National Security Agency to conduct an electronic eavesdropping program in the United States without first obtaining warrants, and said he would continue the highly classified program because it was “a vital tool in our war against the terrorists.”

In an unusual step, Mr. Bush delivered a live weekly radio address from the White House in which he defended his action as “fully consistent with my constitutional responsibilities and authorities.”

He also lashed out at senators, both Democrats and Republicans, who voted on Friday to block the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act, which expanded the president’s power to conduct surveillance, with warrants, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
