Babies are popping out left and right. Over the long weekend Gwen Stefani gave birth to a baby boy on Friday, while Angelina Jolie gave birth to a baby girl on Saturday.

Gwen and Gavin named their new son Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, in an obvious tribute to Kingston, Jamaica (or Bob Marley), James Dean/Brown, and Ewan McGregor. Could that poor child have any more names?!

Prior to Angelina giving birth, rumors circled that Namibian governor Samuel Nuuyoma was asked to name their child, but those turned out to be just that — rumors. Angelina and Brad chose the name Shiloh Nouvel. Shiloh is Hebrew for mesiah or peaceful one, and Nouvel is French for new.

Negotiations are presumably underway between Gwen, Gavin, Angelina and Brad for an arranged marriage of their new offspring children creating a superpower the likes of which Hollywood has never seen. Tom Cruise obviously feels left out.

My apologies to everyone out there (and I know there was a countless many) who received the Service Temporarily Unavailable message; as I mentioned yesterday, Katharine McPhee brought my server to its knees. But, it would appear as though the dust has finally settled.

So … welcome to all my new readers, I hope you stick around! And to all my loyal readers, thanks for being patient through the McPhee-ver epidemic!

In a bid to challenge Google’s market dominance, Yahoo! and eBay have announced that they have forged an advertising alliance. Yahoo! will be allowed to sell advertising on eBay while using PayPal to service the payments. While it sounds like a power play, neither party reaps large benefits from the union. eBay will receive new ways to generate money, but they still do not address the rise in competition such as Google’s Base and even Yahoo!’s own auction service. Yahoo! will gain a potentially huge expansion for its advertising business, however they just lost their largest single partner, MSN, when they decided to sell their own advertising.

Meanwhile, in the other camp, Google has announced a new alliance with computer make Dell. All Dell computers will ship with Google software already installed on them. The software includes several personal computer applications, a Google toolbar and a co-branded homepage. This move allows Google to directly challenge Microsoft’s software dominance.

Despite Cheryl Tweedy’s rather descriptive warning against the paparazzi, they still persisted and caught the Girls Aloud singer flashing a bit more than she probably intended.

More than 100-years after the end of the Spanish-American War, the Treasury Department has finally conceeded to end the federal excise tax on long-distant phone calls. This decision will add up to nearly $15 billion dollars in refunds to tax-payers next year as both cellphone and landline users will be able to file for a 3-year refund in their 2006 taxes.

The tax was originally a luxury tax used to help pay for the Spanish-American War. A 3% surcharge was applied to the cost of the call based on distance and duration. But as unlimited long-distance calling plans became commonplace, and the tax was applied to a flat monthly fee, some taxpayers argued that the tax no longer applied to them because the duration and distance of a call were irrelevant.

Last time I checked, the Spanish-American war ended in 1898, so what, exactly, has the money been helping to fund since then?

Jessica Simpson seems to be channeling her inner Britney Spears … what’s going on here?! Didn’t Jessica recently say she was going to exact her revenge on Nick by transforming herself into a whole new sexy? Somehow, I just don’t think this is making the grade. Perhaps she’s starting to regret her split with Nick. She was recently quoted as saying she’s tired of being alone … When I was with Nick, I had someone who understood what I was going through.

And for those of you who miss the old Britney Spears — and frankly, who doesn’t? — Madame Tussauds in New York has kicked off a viral movement to Bring Back Britney to commemorate their unveiling of their new wax statue of the once pop princess.
