“Imagine what this crew has seen me do over the last five years.

“I still get embarrassed any time I have to be naked around them, because those are my guys. They are all like brothers or father figures, so it will be a rough day for me.”

Um, what exactly has the crew of an ABC (read “Disney”) aired primetime show seen you do? And naked? The director just probably told her to walk around the set naked, you know, to fire up the crew…

ABC has decisively ended Sidney Bristow’s CIA career and cancelled Alias. The show, currently enjoying its 5th season, will air its final episode in May.

“Alias” is going undercover for good. The spy drama starring Jennifer Garner will end its five-season run in May, ABC announced Wednesday, promising a big finish.

“‘Alias’ is not going to wind down as it comes to an end, it’s going to rev up, and we’re going to make it the event it deserves to be,” ABC Entertainment President Stephen McPherson said in a statement.

The series co-stars Victor Garber, Ron Rifkin, Carl Lumbly and Kevin Weisman. It was created by executive producer J.J. Abrams, who is also part of ABC’s popular “Lost.”

No! What is the world coming to — how does The Simple Life get saved and Alias get cancelled?! Although, in all honesty, I really haven’t been too impressed with this season — despite the addition of Rachel Nichols. The Gordon Dean character was a bland villain, the story line reads like a recycled plot from season 2, and Sydney fighting evil while pregnant, c’mon guys. They should have ended it with Season 4 — after the encounter in Sovogda (and before it cuts to Sydney and Vaugh driving in Santa Barbara). That would have been a great ending.

And the rumor holds … Sydney Bristow is pregnant. Not that there was any doubt or anything. Well, maybe the small hope that it was just a tumor caused by the radiation exposure in season 4 episode 14, Nightingale. But I guess not. Click the image above, or follow the link below to the gallery.

From the rumored death of Michael Vartan’s character, to the addition of Rachel Nichols, very little truth is actually known about the upcoming season of Alias. One thing, however, has just been officially announced. In what appears to be an attempt to keep Jennifer Garner in front of the camera, her character, Sydney Bristow, will be pregnant in the next season. According to MSNBC, “ABC has announced that Garner’s character will also be expecting a baby.” How they plan to work that into the storyline remains to be seen.

In what may end up being a futile attempt, fans of Alias star Michael Vartan are campaigning to resurrect his character after they learned he was killed off in the upcoming season.

Now comes word from an insider that Aug. 17 was Vartan’s last day of shooting, when he was supposedly killed off. Fans have banded together to create mvcampaign.com to lobby for his resurrection.

One insider said: “Many of Michael’s fans feel he is being treated very poorly by ABC. He has always been a big promoter of the show, not to mention a great guy, and to have him fired in what is probably the last year of the show is unbelievable.”

…

ABC has been deluged with letters, e-mails and phone calls from the campaign, a network insider moaned, while the campaign is also raising money to place an ad in Variety or the Hollywood Reporter.

Some have speculated that Jennifer Garner has pressured producers to remove Michael from the show due to their past relationship, her recent marriage to Ben Affleck, and amid growing tensions between her and Michael.

According to MSNBC, Britney Spears is no longer having a girl but is having a boy. This is being based on a recent $10,000 shopping spree at Petit Tresor where a source says she was purchasing items for a boy.

Spears had been in the store several weeks ago where she loaded up on items for girls, but says the source, “That must have been a ruse or for someone else. This was definitely for her unborn child.”

A spokeswoman for the store said she could “neither confirm nor deny” the Spears’ shopping spree. But another source backs up the buzz that baby Federline will be a boy: “They’re mulling several names, but the one they favor is Preston.”

Yes, obviously it must have been a “ruse or for someone else” because Britney is tricky like that.

The New York Daily News is reporting that Jennifer Garner is expecting a girl.

It’s definitely going to be a girl for Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. At the L.A. premiere of “The Brothers Grimm,” a friend rubbed the “Alias” actress’ belly and asked, “Are you having a boy?” Said Jen: “Guess again” …

It is still unclear whether or not Jennifer Garner will return for the sixth season of Alias, but rumor has it that recent cast addition Rachel Nichols might take over the role.

Meanwhile, Jessica Alba wants to make more money return as Sue Storm in Fantastic Four sequels so badly, that the Sun reports she has come up with a fantastic idea — super kids.

The actress is desperate to reprise her role as sexy superheroine Sue Storm and wants to have super-children with co-star Ioan Gruffudd’s character Reed Richards in a later installment.

…

She told OK! Magazine: “I think we have to get the Fantasticar - that’d be cool.

“And I think we need some kids, at least by the third one. Sue and Reed should get busy.”

That’s just what every guy on the planet wants to see, Jessica Alba running around with a kid.
