Alaska governor Sarah Palin just got chosen to be John McCain’s vice president running mate. But she’s also got some sexy photos of her floating around the internet. Update: The photo, and all others like it (the so-called “nude” photo, the bikini photo with the gun) are all fakes. Here’s a random real photo:

Can you believe that Mark Wahlberg in a movie adaptation of video game Max Payne? The film-noir pc game will be adapted to movie format to tell the story of a DEA agent (Mark Wahlberg) an assassin (Mila Kunis) who team up to solve a series of mysterious murders. Here’s the new movie posters:

Alison Carroll, who is a 23-year-old gymnast from Croydon, England will be representing the Tomb Raider brand worldwide. Apparently she will be given SAS survival training, weapons training course, and coursework in archaeology to prepare her for the rigours of being the legendary Tomb Raider, and following in Angelina Jolie’s footsteps.

Alison Carroll, while indelicate and stoic in appearance, will probably serve the Tomb Raider franchise well, as her atheticism is indisputable.

Jessica Simpson’s Stampede Light Plus Ad is just what the singer-turned-actress needs right now that her pop career turned into a country career. The 28-year old Celebrity already put her face of a line of handbags, perfume, and footwear and is lending her figure to a series of forthcoming beer ads, teaming up with Stampede Brewing Company to become the new spokesmodel for Stampede Light Plus.

According to NOW Magazine, Victoria Beckham asked her sister to sent her the diet pills from the UK to Los Angeles in order to her keep her weight as she desires, meaning down. Victoria Beckham is keen to take some legal actions as she is reportedly as “mad as hell and she’s not going to take it anymore!”

The singer-turned-fashion-icon is suing the British tabloid for false claiming that she is addicted to diet pills. The article in question has been deleted from the publication’s website and it’s not clear whether a lawsuit is underway or a public excuse will make Victoria change her mind about suing.

In other Celebrity reports, Victoria Beckham would showcase her new dress designs at New York Fashion Week.

The accusation is dangerous, defamatory and blatantly untrue. Victoria takes her position as a role model to young women very seriously and is horrified by this hurtful, fabricated story. It is now with her lawyers.
- Victoria Beckham’s agent, Jo Milloy, said in a statement Tuesday -

Last week, Janet Jackson outdid herself by proving she is not only a singer, songwriter, actress, dancer and record producer, but also a designer, as she announces a partnership with Bruno Schiavi, a fashion designer from Australia.Â

The lingerie collection’s name was inspired by Jackson’s 1987 hit “Pleasure Principle”, which was said to be an independent’s woman anthem about love. The launch took place just before starting her world tour to promote her new album, “Discipline”. Â

Products of the line are programmed to be in stores in November this year. They will first be available in America, but Australia, Japan and Europe will soon follow. Â

You will see a lot of satin and lace combined and rich colors such as burgundy and beige, silver and peach as well as your classic black and white”. There will be 14 designs available, from balconettes and demi cups to full coverage, as proof of Janet Jackson’s various talents.

The 36-year-old actress Christina Applegate, who was diagnosed with early stage breast cancer this month, courageously talked about her ordeal on ABC’s Good Morning America, declaring she has undergone a double mastectomy, even though the cancer was only present in one of her breasts: “I’m clear. Absolutely 100-percent clear and clean.

I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one.
-states the Emmy-nominated actress as she explains the drastic step taken in order to make sure the cancer would not recur, as was the case with her mother -

Reconstructive surgery is scheduled over the next eight months, but Christina Applegate faces everything with a developed sense of humor, which also helped her get past the hardships.

Applegate’s plans for the future are to appear on Stand Up to Cancer on ABC, CBS and NBC and raise funds for cancer research, as well as return to ABC’s Samantha Who? in September.

Once again, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law amaze the public, not with their talent as actors, but by donating their share of the earnings from the new movie “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” to Heath Ledger’s two-year-old daughter with Michelle Williams, Matilda, in order to ensure her a secure future.

Production of “The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus”, which will be released in 2009, was temporarily suspended because of Heath Ledger’s tragic death, so his role was recast with Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law. The actors will portray physically changed transformations of Ledger’s character, Tony, as he travels through three separate dimensions accessed using a paranormal mirror that belonged to a traveling theatre group.

The movie’s director Terry Gilliam was also impressed by the actors’ involvement in finishing the production and by their altruism: “They came, they did the work, they allowed the movie to be finished, they didn’t take money – the money goes the Heath’s daughter. That’s extraordinary!”

NASCAR race car driver Jeff Gordon has been having a tough season, culminating in an accident on the track on Sunday that left him in 42nd place. Although it may be easy to dwell on such misfortunes, the 37-year-old says that daughter Ella Sofia, 14 months this week, could care less, making it simple for him to leave work at work. He explains that Ella has recently been teething, so not only does he not want to think about his race, his crabby baby won't let him!

All you care about is her trying to get her naps in and eating and having a temperature and all the things that come along with teething.

Ella is the first child for Jeff and his wife, model Ingrid Vandebosch, 38. The couple married November 7th, 2006.

Sam Hornish Jr. knew that it would be difficult to find a balance between fatherhood and being a NASCAR driver, but he didn't realize how tough it would actually be. After his wife Crystal gave birth to daughter Addison Faith, now 6 months, Sam had to leave for Daytona, where he began to keep a very hectic schedule. "I was gone for four days, I came back for two, then I was out in California and Las Vegas," Sam explains. "It was very, very hard." One thing that makes the juggling easier is Crystal's support. She "makes sure that it works" and Sam doesn't think she "get[s] enough credit for that."

I have to hand it to Crystal, she got up and back coming to the races a lot faster than probably most moms would do, and that's because it was important to her.

Sam, 29, and Crystal were married June 5th, 2004.

Admitting that she "never realized how challenging it was going to be having a family of six," Brooke Burke says that for the first time in her life she is "totally unavailable." The 36-year-old actress and model was able to carve out a few minutes to blog for her Baboosh Baby site recently while enjoying a Hawaiian vacation -- it's a trip Brooke says was "planned just for the kids." Noting that her older daughters Neriah, 8, and Sierra Sky, 6, have "missed out on a lot of fun" since Brooke has "been pregnant most of the last 2-3 years" with her 19-month-old daughter Heaven Rain and 5-month-old son Shaya Braven, Brooke says that the family is "having fun spending our days in the pool, the ocean and lots of water slides."

Shaya is hitting his milestones, and some more pleasant than others. Brooke shares that her son has started solids, is "rolling over all the time" and is "ready to crawl any minute." He's also "having a hard time" with teething, however. "I am waiting for a tooth to pop out in hopes of his getting through this fussy stage," Brooke writes. As for Rain, Brooke shares that her baby girl "is saying so many words" and that she is "so in love" with her younger brother. From the sound of things, there is plenty of love to go around! Says Brooke,

Neriah is an incredible help at almost nine years old. She is an amazing little mom.

Rain and Shaya are Brooke's children with fiancé David Charvet; Neriah and Sierra are her daughters with ex-husband Dr. Garth Fisher.

Fox News meteorologist Janice Dean and her husband Sean, a firefighter, are expecting their first baby together. Mom-to-be announced the news during an August 13th broadcast, and in a new blog she shares her journal entry from May 24, 2008 -- the day she learned she was pregnant.

Having felt "under the weather" for several weeks, Janice says she woke up at 5 a.m. and decided to make the trip to her local 24-hour pharmacy for a pregnancy test. One digital test and a "gigantic bag of M&M's" later, Janice returned home to "pee on a stick" and await the results as Sean slept nearby. "Finally...PREGNANT. I can't believe it. Is this for real?," Janice wrote of her reaction. She adds,

I'm shocked, happy, scared, insecure, blessed, and wondering how the next 9 months are going to go...and how on earth I will take care of a small little person? I guess we're about to find out!

Baby-on-the-way, a little boy, is due in January.

In explaining why she walked down the aisle six months pregnant, Beth Stolarcyzk admits that she has "always done things a little controversial." The Real World season two cast member, 39, "was not expecting to be pregnant on my wedding day" and had already purchased a Carolina Herrera gown prior to learning that she was going to be a mom. With alterations by R-Mine Bridal Couture to adjust the dress to her new form, Beth wed real estate developer Matt Ciriello as planned on Saturday, August 9th in Santa Monica.

In addition to the dress, signs of pregnancy made it into the footwear as well -- Beth initially chose to wear white Havana flip flops due to swelling in her feet! In the end, she decided to go barefoot for the beach wedding, attended by 175 guests (plus one baby girl on the way!). Beth tells Us Weekly, "I have never been happier in my life. We are over the moon."

Beth and Matt, 32, expect their daughter in early December.

Singer Ashlee Simpson-Wentz topped off her maxi dress and Ray-Bans look with a fedora while dining at the Ivy on Monday with a friend.

The 23-year-old and her husband, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, expect their first child this fall. Pete claims that they don't know the sex of the baby.

Acting has become a second career for actress Jill Halfpenny -- son Harvey Reece, 3 months, is now her number one priority. The 33-year-old has begun working again and finds that "it's all about Harvey, as it should be." A typical day starts with "very early mornings, feeding, playing, [and] walking round," after which Jill heads into work. When she is onstage performing, Jill is able to focus because she "know[s] he's in safe hands with my husband Craig [Conway]."

All that changes the minute she walks off stage, however. "I check my phone and I'm calling home," Jill says. The British star explains that she considers herself lucky, because "by the time I finish he's ready for a feed and it's all about getting him settled down for the night."

Filipina actress Jennylyn Mercado and her ex-boyfriend, actor Patrick Garcia, 26, welcomed a son on Saturday, August 16th at St. Luke's Hospital in Quezon City. The little boy was born between 8 and 9 p.m. and weighed 8 lbs, 12 oz. Becky Aguila, Jennylyn's manager, reported that she "gave birth to a healthy baby boy via Cesarean section," and that "both mother and son are doing fine."

On July 28th, Jennylyn went into pre-term labor, brought on by a urinary tract infection. With a due date of August 22nd, she was admitted to the hospital where doctors attempted to stop the contractions, citing lung development concerns. The succcess of the procedure enabled Jennylyn to carry her son for another three weeks, delivering just six days before her due date.

Like so many moms, having children has motivated Robin Wright Penn to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle. To that end, she's taken the 'EcoMom Challenge' -- a program from the EcoMom Alliance which lays out ten easy-to-follow steps on how we can all work together for a sustainable future. Says the 42-year-old actress,

I get way too overwhelmed if I focus on the larger global picture. But as a mom, I can do these small things on the [EcoMom Alliance] list and know I'm doing something positive and protective.

Robin has two children -- 17-year-old Dylan Frances and 14-year-old Hopper Jack -- with husband Sean Penn

Now that wrestler Paul "Triple H" Levesque is a father of two girls -- daughters Aurora Rose and Murphy Claire are two years and three weeks old, respectively -- the World Wrestling Entertainment superstar admits that he's a changed man. He reveals, "[Parenthood has] put a whole new spin on life for me. It's changed my perspective about what's important ... I don't know if it's softened me up, but it changes the way you look at women. I'm probably going to pay for my past!"

Triple H was recently traded from the Raw to Smackdown brand of the WWE, which some reported would be better for his schedule, but the 39-year-old disagrees. "It's actually worse for me," explaining that "it really screws me personally, but we'll make it work."

You know when you get into this line of work you're going to be gone a lot. It's really important that the time I get to spend with my family is quality time.

Triple H is married to Stephanie McMahon-Levesque, 31, WWE's Executive Vice President of Talent and Creative Writing.

The mission: to find a nursing bra that could support my newly massive milk machines without digging in to give that oh-so-unsexy quadra-boob effect. Who knew Elle Macpherson would be the one to rescue me? The model-turned-designer's lingerie line was a favorite of mine pre-pregnancy (Oh, to be that nicely shaped C-cup again…) so when I saw that she also sold nursing bras, I decided to give them a shot.

The Maternelle ($55), which comes in white, black and pale pink, is the most comfortable bra I've owned that actually holds everything in place. I might even keep wearing it after my breastfeeding days are over. Its cotton lined cups are soft but offer sturdy support at the same time, and there's a pretty hint of lace at the top, which is a nice contrast to some of the more utilitarian nursing undergarments out there. Plus, there are six rows of hooks in the back, so it can stay snug as you lose those post-pregnancy pounds. Elle Macpherson also offers the La Mere bra ($62; pictured), which has less support, but a lot more lace. It's so gorgeous, your significant other may not even realize it has another purpose besides looking pretty.

Both bras can be purchased at Amazon.com.

Calling children "the most astonishing piece of creation" and childbirth "such a mysterious moment," actress Juliette Binoche -- mom to Raphaël, 14 ½, and Hana, 8 ½ -- says in a new interview that "when we have kids, it's a decision of three people."

They come with their own story, their own power. A friend of mine said that bringing up children is like going up stairs. One step, then breathing, reaching a certain point, then another step, that's fine, then another and, oh, my god, another after that; always on the move.

On the move is a state of being the 44-year-old actress and her children know well. Juliette says she never had to choose between career or family because she "always took" Raphaël and Hana along when a film role required her to travel. "When my son was ten, I asked him if he wanted to come, and we went all round the world, changing schools," Juliette says. There is no power struggle between Juliette and the fathers of her children, because both children are co-parented; For Juliette, "there is no hierarchy in life" and thus "there is no boss" of Raphaël and Hana. She adds,

You have to recognize your task early on. If you decide you want children, you have to take responsibility for them until they fly on their own. It doesn't mean I don't make mistakes, because I do. I want to be perfect –- of course. I've never wanted to say no to my son, so I always said yes.

Raphaël's father is scuba diver André Halle; Hana's father is actor Benoît Magimel.

As she counts down to her October 4th due date, actress Marisol Nichols celebrated her upcoming arrival with a baby shower held on Saturday at her new North Hollywood home. Hosted by a number of close friends, guests, including 24 costar and new mom Mary Lynn Rajskub, feasted on classic BBQ food -- cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, chili, potato salad, and fresh watermelon. However, the main attraction was the cake: six large letter blocks that spelled out "GIRL BABY." Cake artist Dorie Kinney made each block a different flavor: chocolate with fudge filling and tiny chocolate chips, white cake with raspberries, white cake with apricot white chocolate mousse, lemon cake with lemon curd, almond cake with peach amaretto filling and marble cake with white chocolate mousse. Yum!

While Marisol greeted her guests, those who had already arrived participated in guessing games, including how many inches her belly is around, and what the baby's weight and length will be once she arrives. Husband Taron Lexton and Marisol, who started with five names for their daughter, have narrowed them down to two -- but she won't share! "We're going to wait till we meet her and go, 'There we go! That's the name,'" Marisol explains. "I've already sort of felt a personality there. She'll tell me certain things, like [to] sit down if I'm moving too much. She'll kick and it'll hurt and I'll sit down."

With about seven weeks left in the pregnancy, Marisol admits that she's starting to panic. "A little bit of panic mixed in with a lot of planning and a lot of getting ready. It's literally an instant switch from single life to parenthood. I love it though." She laughs, "I'm really glad they give you nine months to get ready!" Still, the 36-year-old actress feels prepared to welcome her little girl. She tells PEOPLE,

To meet her, that's all we want. I can't wait to meet her in person.

Australian journalist, author, and media personality Mia Freedman and husband Jason Lavigne welcomed their third child together last week. The former editor-in-chief of Cosmo, Cleo and Dolly, 34, posted on her blog that it was a "great birth" and that they are "over the moon."

The baby boy has been named Remy, a name which older brother Luca, 10, came up with. However, older sister Coco, 3, wasn't too happy -- she wanted to name the baby Nutella! Mia, a frequent blogger, says that she has pre-written a number of posts to go live "while I remember how to get by on very little sleep and make milk."

The pregnancy was announced in April and Mia answered CBB reader questions in an exclusive interview.

Having twins can be hectic, especially when both parents are musicians who are out on tour! That's the dilemma Elvis Costello and Diana Krall are facing with their 20-month-old fraternal twin sons Dexter Henry Lorcan and Frank Harlan James -- both parents are currently in the middle of different concert tours.

For now, the twins stay with Diana, 43, who calls "being on a bus with two toddlers" her biggest challenge. It's not just the bus rides that are tough, the songstress explains. Each particular venue she performs at presents its own set of circumstances, changing in each city -- "I have to get them on overnight runs, figure out where the playground activities are for them in each new place, do my shows and be a full-time mom -- all without Elvis," Diana shares. However, she wouldn't change it all. "It's incredibly joyful and I feel like I have it all," she says, even if "having it all is exhausting."

Diana, 43, and Elvis, 53, were married December 5, 2003.

Everyone wants to be famous but the multi-Grammy winner Alicia Keys says her fame can make you “a ghost of yourself” and “can bring a lot of emptiness”. That’s not such a good news? Isn’t it? The 27-year-old singer, who sold over 23 million albums and winning over 80 major awards - including 11 Grammys, says fame can really make you lose yourself and living each day on the edge.

As a recall, Alicia Keys back in 2006, exasperated by the pressures of fame, she took a break from music and traveled to Egypt to recuperate discovering the power of the nature. In other Celebrity news, Alicia Keys is to perform the theme tune to the next James Bond film “Quantum of Solace” with White Stripes singer Jack White.

Fame can bring a lot of emptiness. You are so driven that you work 20 hours a day, you get four hours of sleep, you do all that for 10 years straight. Then, all of a sudden, you think, ‘I’m a singer and, yes, I’m a songwriter and, yes, I perform, but what else is in my life? Do I have a family? Am I growing inside? Am I always too busy to see my mother and the people I love?’
- Alicia Keys told Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper -

You have to numb yourself because you are away so long. It can change you and that is not the type of person I want to be. People always want something from you - you become like a ghost of yourself or of the person you could be.
- Alicia Keys added -
