DescriptionTripp Easton Mitchell Johnston, first grandbaby for Governor (and former VIP candidate) , entered the world on December 28, 2008. Now, let’s find out just how much clout this youngster has with the tabloids, shall we?

Palin, who emerged from nowhere at the GOP convention and rose to instant stardom, has managed to stay on the radar even though we’re several weeks away from November. Everyone seems interested in the Alaska Governor’s next TV project (we’re all quite sure there will be one), but for now the politician is working on a different role: Grandma.

A role which, if you’re Sarah Palin, may not be without its huge monetary perks. Technically, the money will likely go to daughter Bristol and her boyfriend Levi Johnston - but we all know who’s name is going to sell the cover shots.

The bidding war for the first photos of little Tripp has begun, and some sources are claiming the price started as high as $100,000. That’s more than some real celebrities get - and the number’s only getting higher from there. No price for the pics has been confirmed, but some sources estimate the photos are selling for more than $300,000 - truly, a staggering sum for a child that’s probably still wrinkled and hairless.

DescriptionFor the holiday season, is doing some relaxing shopping in Aspen - with MTV reality-chosen BFF Brittany Flickinger in tow.

According to reports, Paris and her BFF were joined on holiday by sis Nicky Hilton and her boyfriend David Katzenberg. Hilton parents Rick and Kathy were on hand as well. Rumor has it that the entire group enjoyed the Caribou Club two nights in a row - though the elder Hiltons left the dance floor to their daughters well before the heiresses were ready to quit.

Paris has recently been spotted hanging with on other occasions as well. The duo have been photographed shopping and dining together in the past month, which would seem to prove that Paris didn’t ditch her newfound friend once the cameras stopped rolling on her reality show.

But, that’s probably the point of all these photo ops.

In the event you were busy downing eggnog last week, here’s an interesting tidbit you might have missed.

During a sit-down with the ladies of The View, Jennifer Aniston joked (?) that her sexy GQ spread was not just about good genes. The 39-year-old claims that her Look-at-Me-Now-Brad-Pitt-body was also Photoshopped. (In case you are not familiar with Photoshop, it’s the same editing program that supposedly gave Mischa Barton cellulite.)

So was Jennifer simply being honest…or was she trying to make the rest of us feel better? (Or was she actually just talking about the tie?) Either way, I’m reminded of a resolutions list that needs some dusting off…


Eartha KittEartha Kitt, Catwoman

Iconic actress Eartha Kitt passed away this past Christmas Day at the age of 81. In her lifetime, she was a singer, a movie star, a famed TV villain and one of the sexiest women ever to grace the screen.

The former suffered from colon cancer, but even in her advanced age she remained active in many film and TV projects.

Kitt’s career began on the stage in the 1940s, where she made an impression with her acting talent and strong vocals. She went on to recording and TV fame in the 1950s. She began appearing movies as early as 1948, but didn’t become a household name until she landed the role of Catwoman in TV’s Batman. Kitt played the beautiful villain in 1968, and was called the “most exciting woman in the world” by actor/director Orson Welles.

She appeared on the stage, where she got her start, as recently as 2005 in The Junfan Project. Kitt regularly voiced the character of Yzma for Disney’s The Emperor’s New School, and appeared in the 2007 movie And Then Came Love. The Tony-nominated singer is perhaps best known in the music industry for recording the Christmas hit “Santa Baby.”

David ArchuletaFor several weeks, the teen and tween girls all over America carried on a TV love affair with baby-faced . The American Idol crooner swept in and stole hearts using nothing more than an “Aw, shucks” modesty and sweet smile.

Oh, yeah…and he’s got an exceptional singing voice. The women who adore him have to wait no more: David Archuleta, runner-up, has finally turned eighteen.

He can vote, he can do movies and TV without parental or guardian supervision…and he can legally marry or date anyone he pleases. The soft-spoken singer has been appearing on television a lot recently, cropping up for Christmas specials and other events. There is no doubt in my mind that he’ll also make an appearance on American Idol’s upcoming Season 8. His overwhelming popularity last year and newfound independence all but guarantee another performance on the big stage.

Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is “fortunate to have the teenagers and two and a half-year-old” daughter he has fathered, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like to add more to the crew in the future. In an interview with , he talks about raising a toddler and teenagers at the same time.

“She’s so beautiful, she’s just great,” Cruise says of little Suri Cruise, a favorite among the paps (she appears in more mags than her famous father). Perhaps it’s because the small tot is “so charming,” as her proud papa says.

In the interview, calls himself a “great parent,” saying “my family is the most important thing in my life.”

Jeremy PivenEven if you’re having trouble buying ‘s fishy excuse, there’s no denying the actor’s appeal.

Last week, the Entourage star abruptly pulled out of his Broadway engagement due to a reportedly high level of mercury. The producers of Speed-the-Plow were then forced to find last-minute find replacements for Piven’s role as Bobby Gould. (Norbert Butz began his stint on Tuesday; William H. Macy finishes the run starting January 11.)

Unfortunately, Jeremy’s absence has already had a huge effect on the production’s box office numbers. In the few days while Jordan Lage was substituting, ticket sales for the week fell nearly $160,000 to $326,559. The actors also performed to houses that were only half full. But Piven was, surprisingly, not missed. At least not by former co-star Raul Esparza.

I’ve got to hand it to . That singer won’t let marriage zip her up anytime soon.

Although yesterday’s temperature in Aspen was chilly enough for Mariah to wear a ski jacket and hideous Christian Dior boots, it apparently wasn’t cold enough for her cleavage. Maybe she was just temporarily ventilating?

(Make sure to check out our other questionable outfits.)


Simon Cowell smoking

Who knew was so good at multi-tasking?

During his winter vacation in Barbados, the producer proved he’s quite talented himself. I’ve heard of smoking and driving…but smoking and jet skiing?

I think that move alone could possibly bring David Hasselhoff to tears.
