Jennifer Lopez is the latest A-lister to guest star on How I Met Your Mother.

According to USA Today, J. Lo will play Anita Appleby, "a no-nonsense author of self-help books that teach women how to 'train' men in relationships through the power of denial." The episode is scheduled to air in March.

Britney Spears and Carrie Underwood were great in their appearances on the hit CBS comedy, so we can't wait to see this!

Naturally.

In an interview airing tomorrow, Jay Leno sits down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss the recent late night war with Conan O'Brien... and she definitely gives him a hard time!

Leno calls the whole situation "a mess" - now that's an understatement! - and admits: "I haven't talked to him [Conan] through all this. It didn't seem appropriate... I don't know. I think it-- let things cool down and maybe we'll talk, you know."

But Oprah played hardball, asking "Did you ever ask myself, 'Am I being selfish?'" Not to mention stating that "America has taken sides, and a lot of people are not on your side."

Ouch! Think Jay can handle the heat?

Tiger and Elin's baby Charlie must be the best-fed kid in the planet! Nordegren took the tot out for lunch again today -- this time to the Cheesecake Factory at Mall at Millenia.

And check out Elin's outfit -- girl's getting stylish! Biker boots, leggings, fedora -- she's looking like the model she used to be! One glaring omission in the accessories department is her wedding ring!

Interesting that Elin's changing her look, going out every day, smiling for our cameras. It's almost like she wants to be photographed, huh?!

That said, she does NOT want to talk. Our photographers asked her how Tiger's holding up and, no answer. They asked her if she visited Tiger in rehab and, no answer. They asked if she and Tiger were going to stay together and, no answer.

Our photographer told us:

"Elin was in good spirits. It seems as if she likes the attention she's getting right now. She likes her picture taken but she doesn't like to be asked questions. She just wants to smile for the camera."

With Elin seemingly in such good spirits, do you think a) she has repaired her relationship with Tiger during her visit to him in rehab OR b) she didn't even visit him and went off for a weekend get away with a girlfriend?!

Not only will Michael Jackson himself be honored at the Grammys this weekend, a source tells E! News that producers have made an effort to incorporate MJ's kids into the show!

Prince Michael, Paris and Blanket all last their father last year, but the Grammy Awards telecast promises a moving tribute to the King of Pop...

While a family rep couldn't be reached for comment, a source close to the Jacksons reveals that the children "might" be there.

The Grammys will also feature a 3-D mini movie set to MJ's "Earth Song," part of which was featured in This Is It - watch the clip below!

With the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie split rumors popping up more aggressively than ever before, if you're a tabloid glossy, this is definitely the week to put Brangelina on the cover. But just how much truth is there to these stories? Are the mags simply printing what we want to read, or is there actual proof to back up the claims of Angie's sordid extramarital affairs and Jen taking Brad back? Or some combination of both?

Star reports that Brad reached out to Jennifer Aniston before the two met up at the Hope for Haiti Now benefit last Friday. "He knew she would console him, like she always did when they were together," a source tells the mag.

"[Jen's] never had a relationship live up to what they had, and now that things with Angie are finally ending, she’ll take him back," says to a friend. The day after the telethon, Jen reportedly called Brad up and admitted the spark was still there, and according to the source, he felt it too. “The moment he and Angie make it official that they’ve called it quits, she’s ready to try again.”

First of all, we don't even KNOW for sure that Brad and Angie are splitting up - neither one of their reps have commented on it, and just because Brad was in the same building as his ex-wife doesn't mean that he's going to run back into her arms. While it seems like terminally single Jen would love to have her man back, doesn't it seem a bit premature to put them on the cover together? Then again, the Team Aniston army wants to see this...



So what other rumors are circulating this week? In addition to the Braniston reunion reports, In Touch Weekly claims that Brad has already introduced Jen to Zahara and Shiloh!

Back in March, Brad allegedly went to great lengths to arrange a secret meeting in NYC for Jen, himself, and his two daughters. According to an insider, Brad met Jen in Central Park, and while Zahara was sleeping in the car, Jen spent time with Shiloh and Brad. One of Jen's pals tells the mag that she was "moved to tears" after seeing Brad and Angie's little girl. “She said that all that had happened in their past seemed to melt away that day,” says the friend.



Us Weekly claims Angie pissed about how Brad cooks the eggs! The mag's reporting a source tells them Angelina's "exhausted and has been overwhelmed with the kids" and that "she'll yell at him when he makes the eggs too runny or burns something." Who thinks Brad's really doing the cooking anyway!

But seriously, who the heck's telling Us Weekly this stuff? Does Angelina have an assistant gone awry? Maybe one of their nannies needed some extra cash and decided to talk?

Furthermore, the mag's report says Brad calls Angelina a bitch behind her back. Now that, I believe!


OK! reports that it was George Clooney who helped initiate the reunion, as he was the one who got the former spouses to volunteer for the Hope For Haiti Now telethon. According to the mag, George knew they were bound to bump into each other, and with Angelina in NYC for a photo shoot, it seemed like the perfect place for them to reconnect.

Everyone loves a good story, but at this point doesn't it seem like the need to sell magazines trumps telling the truth? Even the more mainstream publications have moved into tabloid territory, publishing what they believe is their readers' fantasy - that Brad and Jen will get back together. What do you believe? And what percentage of it is factual?

Last night Madeo was the place to be! Samantha Ronson joined Nicole Richie, Nicky Hilton and Rachel Zoe at the popular West Hollywood eaterie for a girls' night out.

Seems like all of Lindsay's exes (ex-lover, ex-friend, ex-stylist) were gathered together at one table. I bet they had a lot to talk about!
