Happy 22nd Birthday, Lindsay Lohan
Birthday Lurve goes out to Lindsay Lohan who turns 22 years old today. After successfully navigating the somewhat tumultous waters of controversy last year, Lindsay has triumphantly made it to her 22nd year of life — considering the things she’s been thru over the past few years, this is no small feat so much love and many congrats are deffo in order:

Lindsay has really gotten her life in order these past few months. She’s been working hard on her new movie Labor Pains and she’s managed to stay out of trubs by staying away from the endless party circuit. With her BFF Samantha Ronson by her side, Lindsay has managed to turn her life completely around from this time last year. I hope that L. Lo has an amazing birthday today … that all her birthday wishes come true and she has many, many, many more happy birthdays to come. Now that she’s no longer a danger to herself, those many, many, manys may actually come her way :) Happy Birthday, Linds!!!

The Brangelina Twins Mebbe Not So ‘Imminent’
Dr. Michel Sussmann, Angelina Jolie’s OBGYN, gave a short press conference today in Nice, France to give an official update as to what exactly is going on with the impending birth of her twins. Previous reports (mine included) speculated that she might give birth by the end of this week but Dr. Sussmann clarified that the birth of the babies is still “weeks away”. Here are a couple new photos of Brad Pitt carrying his daughters Zahara and Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt into the Lenval hospital in Nice so that they could visit with their very pregs mother:

Doctor Michel Sussmann said Jolie is doing fine. He spoke at a short news conference Wednesday in Nice, where Jolie is hospitalized. Asked when Jolie is expected to have her twins, he replied “in the weeks to come.” Sussmann stressed that Jolie checked into the hospital to be kept under surveillance, not because of any medical emergency.
Mebbe Angelina will be able to hold out until her August due date after all. I don’t imagine it’s very much fun having to stay at a hospital for weeks prior to giving birth but I’m sure Brangelina want to make sure that everything is done right in order to avoid any emergencies that might spring up at the last minute. And so … with the rest of the world, we wait …
Ashlee Simpson Goes With The Flowy
The newly pregs Ashlee Simpson was spotted out and about in LA yesterday lookin’ all happy and glowy while wearing a very orange, flowy dress … coupled with a headband and gladiator shoes — this summers requisite must-have accessories for any Hollywood “It” Girl — Ash was lookin’ fabulously stylish:

While I don’t really mind the headband fad that is all the rage these days, I’m not really on board with the gladiator shoes. I mean, I get that there has to be an “it” shoe for the summer (hopefully those little bootie shoes are on their way out) but the gladiator shoe with the far-too-many straps just doesn’t do it for me. At any rate, I’d expect nothing less of Ashlee than her strict adherence to the fashion trends of the summer … pregs or not, she is a slave to fashion.

Old ‘Friends’ To Make A New Movie?
In further nostalgic news from the 90’s (try saying that 5 times, fast), there is a new report/rumor going around that the long-anticipated Friends movie might actually become a reality. But, while today’s earlier news concerning Shannen Doherty’s possible return to 90210 comes from the venerable Entertainment Weekly, this Friends report comes from the less-than-venerable Daily Mail … but I’ll still take it :) Emboldened by the huge success of the Sex and the City Movie, it is being reported that Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer are all on board to make the jump to the big screen “within the next 18 months”, again, according to the Mail:

The highly anticipated film production of TV series Friends has finally been given the go-ahead, MailOnline has learned. Cast members Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Matthew Perry, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow and David Schwimmer will reprise their roles for a big-screen adaptation “within the next 18 months”, according to insiders. The actors have been inspired by the recent success of Sex And The City, which recently hit cinemas worldwide. A source said: “Jennifer, Courteney and the rest of the cast are keen to reprise their roles, under the right circumstances. The box office success of Sex And The City has really got their wheels spinning about how a Friends film could be just as big, if done right. Timing and the script are really important, but now that Courteney and Jen both have production companies, they can potentially get very involved in those decisions.” Talk of a reunion for the loveable gang from New York’s Central Perk has been bandied around Hollywood ever since the show aired its final season in 2004. While Cox, 44, LeBlanc, 40, Perry, 39, Kudrow, 45 and Schwimmer, 41, were believed to be keen on the reunion, Aniston, 39, is believed to have dragged her heels. Now, however, she is keen to move ahead with the project, which will be produced by Warner Bros. The source added: “As the biggest star of the Friends franchise, Jennifer can’t help but look at what’s happened with Sarah Jessica Parker and the Sex And The City film and be a little jealous. What’s held back a Friends movie so far is that people were worried that Jennifer had simply become too famous to play Rachel again. But the truth is that Jennifer is finally willing to do it, and she’d love to work with that whole team of actors and producers again. She says she and Courteney have already talked this summer about what they want out of a Friends movie, and if deals can be made with them, everything else can fall into place rather quickly. It really comes down to money, and I don’t think Jen has a problem with all of the Friends getting huge paydays for the movie. In that sense, it’s Sex And The City all over again. There’s no movie unless you can reunite the whole cast and keep them all happy financially” … The source told MailOnline: “Friends is at the top of the list of properties that can do the same level of business Sex And The City did.”
Okay … first thing, Jennifer Aniston is not “too famous” to play Rachel Green again. If she really believes that is the case then she is sorely mistaken. Until the day she dies, she will be Rachel Green … except with a more prominent scowl and not as funny. Second thing, they need to move on this movie, like, now. If they can really pull it all together in “the next 18 months” then that would be perfect. Third thing, much like with the SaTC movie, I have NO IDEA what they can do with the Friends characters to make a compelling 2-hour movie that will satisfy all the fans … but, the SaTC movie did just that — they pulled it off flawlessly. It is my sincere hope that the Friends folk can do the same. While I’m excited at the prospect of this project actually getting off the ground, I’m not really gonna get all excited until there is some sort of confirmation from either the movie studio or someone who might be involved in the project. It would be great to see the gang on the big screen again … I hope it actually happens.

Shannen Doherty In Talks To Return To ‘90210’
Ye Gods! There is some great news going around today concerning the new Beverly Hills, 90210 spin-off (which apparently took my advice and decided to go with the name 90210) and the possibility of another BH, 90210 alumna reprising their role on the new show. Michael Ausiello (formerly of TV Guide, now with Entertainment Weekly) is reporting that the EFFING AWESOME Shannen Doherty is in talks to reprise her role of Brenda Walsh on the new spin-off … which would kinda complete my life:

Those of you who know me know that nothing brings me more happiness than a good, old-fashioned Shannen Doherty item. So it seems only fitting that I should kick off my new EW gig with a juicy yarn about the legendary Hollywood hellraiser. And it’s not just any yarn, either — it’s the best yarn ever! Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that Doherty is currently engaged in formal talks to — wait for it, wait for it — reprise her role of Brenda Walsh on The CW’s breathlessly anticipated 90210 update! According to my Peach Pit mole, Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah, the producers behind el nuevo 90210, recently met with the tempestuous tabloid mainstay to gauge her interest in returning to the zip code from which she was banished in 1994. And by all accounts, she is interested. “But,” whispers an insider with close ties to the reboot, “she wants to know what the story is going to be first.” She also wants more money than they’re apparently offering. Yet creative/financial issues may not be the biggest obstacles standing in the way of Doherty’s homecoming. The anger-management poster gal has left a long list of enemies in her wake, among them once and possibly future co-stars Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth. Doherty and Garth, in particular, got along so badly, they were like a ’90s version of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. (A fistfight between them was even chronicled in Spelling’s recent memoir.) So while Doherty’s willingness to return suggests she’s ready to let bygones be bygones, the feeling may not be mutual. “There’s still some animosity there,” acknowledges a source, who says Garth wasn’t exactly jumping for joy upon learning of Doherty’s potential hiring. However, counters Garth, “A lot of time has passed, and I’m a big girl. I’d have no problem with her coming on the show.” That still doesn’t resolve the pesky issue of Doherty’s less-than-stellar rep. “They should demand good behavior and get rid of her quick if they don’t get it,” muses one top TV producer. “The danger is that the show becomes a big hit, and her participation is seen as essential. If that happens, and she’s still a disruptive, dysfunctional actor, then they’ve got a big mess.” But nearly everyone seems to agree on one thing: It’s a risk worth taking. “This is a win-win for all parties,” points out a 90210 source. “Shannen has a shot to get back in the public eye and make things right with the show that gave her her career, and the CW can generate some much-needed buzz and guarantee some major sampling of 90210.”
Insert Happy Dance [HERE]. The bottom line is that they better work out the deal with her … having Shannen Doherty on the show, bad girl or not, would automatically lend weight to the project and would stir up the kind of buzz that both Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth combined can’t generate. If Shannen signs on, I’m there … absolutely and entirely on board. What awesome, awesome news :)
