Actor Vin Diesel has revealed that he is the proud new poppa of a baby girl. Although the news is brand new, his daughter isn’t.
Apparently Diesel’s girlfriend, Paloma Jimenez gave birth on April 2, but the public has remained largely unaware.

Joking aside, I do respect his choice to keep it on the quiet side. Too many celebrities turn their personal and family lives into circus events.
Congratulations to …read more

Further, the court granted a restraining order against Britney’s manager Sam Lufti and gave Jamie permission to change the locks on her estate and remove anyone who is there. According to the Associated Press:
It was unclear whether the court gave her father the power to make medical decisions on Spears’ behalf; even if that was granted, the role …read more

I must have missed this story because it seems like only yesterday I was mentioning that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were having another kid, but, allegedly they’re having yet another. Pregnancy rumors began flying when Angelina wore a loose fitting dress to the SAG awards and drank water while there. (Apparently in Hollywood circles that’s a more accurate indicator than EPT.)

‘I can’t count on anything the press says about her because there is so …read more
