The Oscar-winning beauty was spotted leaving Beverly Hills hotel L'Ermitage yesterday afternoon in her environmentally-friendly car. Is she still boring? Yes. But still sexy? Yes!

For the first time since her brother's death, Janet Jackson is speaking out about how she's handling her grief and how she plans to move forward with her life.

In a heartbreaking new interview, Janet tells Harper's Bazaar that she's still having a hard time accepting that her brother is gone, and at one point, she nearly broke down when she talked about the late pop icon. "My brother is, I mean was..." she trailed off, stared at the floor and then continued, "You have to forgive me, because it's really hard to believe he's passed."

Janet added that she can't even bear to watch the news. "It will drive you crazy. People can have rhinoceros skin, but there's a point when something's going to hurt you," she says. "Not everyone is stone, stone. I haven't watched the news in weeks. I had to ask my chef, 'How's Obama doing?' I haven't read a newspaper."

Janet recalls the last time she saw her brother, which was on May 14 at a family get together. "We had so much fun that day. We kept calling each other after and saying how great it was." Janet reveals that she's been keeping herself busy with work, and she recently spent a long weekend at the beach. "It was the first time I had to myself since Michael passed, the first time I could get away since all of that," says the Grammy-winning singer. "Work helps focus all of that energy on something that is of value to you."

When asked about her brother's children, as well as Paris' teary farewell to her father at the televised memorial on July 7, Janet said, "I was really proud. People said to me that Michael's daughter speaking really gave them a sense of how he was as a father, in her words. Paris is incredibly smart; they are all so smart. She's a sweet girl. The kids are doing well. They're with all their cousins; that family love will keep them going."

Janet talks about marriage and children, and she tells the mag that as far as having her own kids, she's open to adoption, but "if I'm really supposed to have kids, it will happen, if that's God's plan for me."

Aww, hugs Janet! We miss MJ too.

And not just by our X17 lensmen!

Yesterday the petite rocker paid a visit to a Beverly Hills doctor's office, and we're not sure what he was getting checked out, but he wasn't in the best mood! Then again, Pete always looks a bit agitated and grumpy...even when he's toting the adorable Bronx around town! Maybe he's a little worn out from tending to his baby boy while Ashlee is off promoting her new TV show?

Khloe Kardashian and her basketball star boyfriend Lamar Odom headed to Katsuya last night, and the reality TV starlet looked super sexy in this strapless zip-up frock. I know it's early in the dating game for these two, but they look like they have a lot of potential! Think Khloe's finally met Mr. Right?

Rafael Nadal is a super-sexy tennis star and, after beating opponent Gael Monfils at the U.S. Open last night, a male spectator swarmed the sidelines and planted a big smooch on Rafael's cheek!

Whoa! George Clooney what?

The man was then arrested for "interference with a sporting event." How random! Thankfully, Nadal was cool about it...

"For me, it wasn't a problem," he said. "The guy was really nice. He said, 'I love you,' and he kissed me."

Very sweet! And hey, the guy's hot - we'd wanna attack him too!

The lovely Lady GaGa was snapped leaving the NRJ radio station in Paris yesterday, and rather than rocking a cape or a latex bodysuit, the pop superstar sported an eye catching metallic number and topped off the look with a pair of black leather gloves. Loves it!

Sidebar: This outfit looks like something Rihanna might like...think these two divas would ever collaborate on a fashion project? We'd love to see that!

We weren't so sure about this but here is the scoop...

In April of this year a very happy and excited Ellen Pompeo confirmed that her and her husband Chris Ivery are expecting their first child.

According to Star Magazine, in May of this year, Chris began an intimate relationship with a 19-year-old restaurant hostess in his hometown of Boston. The report claims that they had several encounters over a three-month period and Chris supposedly made promises to make her a star!

Sounds like every 19-year-old girl's dream of Hollywood stardom!

However, a rep for Ellen denied the story of the affair, and when we photographed the expectant parents together a little over a week ago they didn't seem to look like they were having any drama. What do you guys think?

Nicole Richie has FINALLY popped, and she posted the following message on her official blog just a few moments ago:

In the middle of night, the very early hours of September 9, 2009 Sparrow James Midnight Madden was born to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden. He weighs 7lbs 14oz. Nicole, Joel, Harlow and Sparrow are all doing well. Thank you for all of your good wishes.

Congrats to the proud parents! Can't wait to see what this little bundle of joy looks like!
