According to The National Enquirer, Jessica Simpson secretly took an at-home pregnancy test fearing she'd conceived a baby with her 'Employee Of The Month' co-star Dane Cook. "She definitely took an early pregnancy test and, knowing Jessica, she must have been freaking out," an insider revealed. "Jessica is a good girl - and a surprise pregnancy isn't something she could go to her agent or her parents about. And of course she no longer has Nick to confide in." Could this be true? These two were rumoured to be dating in March this year when they were seen holding hands at a club, where Cook celebrated his birthday [link].


Eve dumps African dictator's son? E-V-E is distancing herself from her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Teodorin Nguema Obiang, who is the son of an African dictator, even as he came closer to power last week. [link] "They will never date again," said a source close to Eve. The rapper has been working on a new CD she hopes to release in November. Woh, this lady does attract some royalty. Maybe his bling2 status is not really her cup of tea. Should be another great album by E-V-E coming soon.

Speaking of rappers, Akon and Eminem has recently joined forces to bring us a fantastic new song entitled 'Smack That' [audio]. This proves to be a great partnership as it has all the right beats together with great rap vocals by both of them. This song will be in Akon's upcoming new album entitled 'Konvicted' which will be released on Dec 19 2006. Been playing this track on happy repeats and hopefully there are more great stuff to come.

$993,000 could buy you a lot or it could buy you this Detriot home once owned by Jack White. It is beautiful though, check out that lounge room and staircase!

Paris Hilton was on the phone with Chet Buchanan & the Morning Zoo on KLUC in Las Vegas to promote her debut album. She was asked the first thing she touches in the morning, the last time she was "Mel Gibson drunk", her most annoying celebrity, and if she had to go gay to save the world, who would she go gay with. Hilton then talked about her big CD party on the Strip. Listen to the clip [ph-radio]. Paris was almost run over by traffic after jaywalking [Rex] while shopping with her sis on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles on Aug 9th.

Christina Aguilera who used to be known as 'Xtina', wants to be called 'Baby Jane' from now on. The new name can as a result to the fact that she has reinvented herself for her new album, Back To Basics, dumping her body piercings for a new 50s-inspired look. She now wants people to call her by the new nickname. Good idea to bring out something fresh. This has a nice ring to it. Am currently hooked the last three songs of CD1 (Still Dirrty / Here To Stay / Thank You). Pure pop greatness.

Was expecting a bit more effort for the vid production.

Kasabian have made their new album 'Empire' available to listen to in its entirety. Listen to their eagerly anticipated second album through their myspace [Kasabian-Myspace]. The listening party isn't split into individual tracks and you can't skip forward - you gotta listen to the album in its entirety instead. A bold move but don't think anyone is complaining.

Too much information from the Robb-ster? Robbie Williams, not exactly the shyest guy on the block, has abandoned his blog have revealing too much about his bedroom antics. Robb has been regularly updating fans about his latest conquests online until one of his many women read a post and didn't like what she saw. A friend of his told Daily Star: "Robbie really got into it and talked about all the stuff he got up to with women. But one of them read it online and hit the roof. He hasn't updated it for ages now." Most probable reason for this should be that he doesn't want the weekly hit rate count to decline..

Guitar Hero, on the PC? It's basically like guitar hero but instead of using the guitar controller, you use your keyboard. You can also use a PS2 adapter and use the original controller as well. [link]
