C'mon Jen, you know the rules!
Okay, so she probably
isn't leaving a desperate voicemail for Brad, John or Vince, but after starring in
He's Just Not That Into You, we can't help but crack a joke about it!
The bodacious 40-year-old actress was snapped on the set of
The Bounty in NYC yesterday, and she appeared to be in great spirits when she took a break from filming. What's got her in such a pleasant mood, hmm? Is she just loving her job or does she have a new man in her life?

Nicole Richie has teamed up with A Pea In The Pod to create a line of cute, chic maternity clothes, and the ads have just hit the web! We gotta say, the expectant mama sure looks stunning...we're especially loving that black number with the grey pumps!
Nicole told
People mag, "[A Pea In The Pod carries] great lines, and so when they asked me to create a line for them, I was really excited and eager to do it." The line, simply titled "Nicole" will include peasant tops, layering tees, flowing maxidress and braided details, with prices ranging from $48 for tanks to $148 to dresses.
On being pregnant, Nicole says, "You really feel like you have to change your whole wardrobe. And that’s the last thing a woman wants to go through. So I really tried to make this line to get women excited about wearing clothes. I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off." Hey, when you look as gorgeous as Nicole does, why not!?

Well, the
Twilight starlet does have a perfect complexion, but maybe that's because she has a top notch dermatologist? We snapped Kristen leaving the doctor's office with a little goodie bag of skincare products yesterday, and even though she wasn't exactly affectionate with photogs, she still looked adorable!
Hmm, maybe she's getting ready for Rob? After all, he IS back in town, so you know they're planning a Robsten reunion! Stay tuned...we're definitely keeping our eye on these two!

Jon Gosselin says he's not the reason his marriage to Kate ended.
In fact, he tells
InTouch Weekly he was completely caught off guard when Kate told him she wanted a divorce.

"I am done," Jon says Kate told him. "You are going to live your life and I am going to live my life," she said. He goes on to tell the magazine that he was hoping to work things out but Kate didn't want to. That's when he says he decided to move on with his life.
Here's Jon's side of the story:
On why Kate wanted to split:I think she initiated the split because she wanted a career. Maybe I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and she was going to move on regardless. I said, "Are you sure about this?"
On if Jon tried to work things out:Yes, I asked, "What do I have to do to mend the relationship? What did I do wrong?" I was beating myself up about it. So I read a lot of books about personalities, like The Five Love Languages. Throughout the marriage, I felt like my personality had changed a lot. In December, I went to therapy. I asked Kate to come, but she didn’t want to. She said, “If you have a problem, go fix it."
He also cleared up his current dating status. He makes it clear that his focus is on 22-year-old party girl Hailey Glassman.
On his first relationship after the split:[It was with] Hailey  it started around May. She is the polar opposite of Kate. It’s really different. I feel good about myself and people see my good qualities. I’m not being put down. If I want to go out with my friends, Hailey says, “Oh, go out.†I’m not used to that. I was used to, "No, no, it’s your fault." Sometimes I ask Hailey permission, like I used to do with Kate, and she says, "You don’t have to ask permission.†I was used to living like that, and now it’s like a breath of fresh air. You can have a balanced relationship but also spend time with your friends.
On when he'll introduce Hailey to his 8 kids: I think it would have to be after the divorce is finalized. I can’t just show up with Hailey. I think we all need a little routine in our lives. Right now, it’s helter-skelter. Once there is a routine, we’ll start off slowly, like going out to dinner. We are dealing with eight different personalities, and they will each handle it in different ways. They may never be comfortable.
What do you think? Does this change your view of Jon? Do you think he's being truthful or now that ratings are slipping (down 61% this week!) for TLC's
Jon and Kate Plus 8, do you think this is just a ploy to keep people interested in the show?
Be sure read Jon's surprising answer about how the children are handling the split after the jump!

It seems like he has more motorcycles than he does children...and that's a lot!
Yet

Yesterday afternoon Lindsay and Ali Lohan were snapped catching a plane at LAX, and we're not sure where the ladies were headed, but we're sure Linds will be tweeting about it sooner or later!
Lindsay kept covered up, but her little sister practically let it all hang out! She looked super cute in this summery sundress and flip flops, but she practically had a wardrobe malfunction, and that's not all...we noticed some ink on the Ali...click after the jump to see what she had written on her arm!

After eight seasons, Paula Abdul has confirmed that she is leaving
American Idol.
Yesterday Paula tweeted, "With sadness in my heart, I've decided not to return to
Idol. I'll miss nurturing all the new talent, but most of all being a part of a show that I helped from day one become an international phenomenon. What I want to say most, is how much I appreciate the undying support and enormous love that you have showered upon me. I do, without any doubt, have the BEST fans in the entire world and I love you all."
According to
The NY Times, Paula (who earned about $2 million from the show last year) demanded a 500% pay raise (around $20 million a year) and reportedly rejected Fox's offer to bump her salary up by 30%, which would have netted her around $10 million per year. Hmm, that seems kinda greedy doesn't it?
While her manager had previously dropped hints that she might not come back due to contract issues (or a lack of a contract), we're still kinda stunned that she's gone! Will
Idol be the same without her?
