Jessica Simpson is unleashing a new fragrance upon the world (like we really need another one) and she’s calling it Fancy. Here are a couple new promo pics for the new fragrance which is reportedly due for release on August 15:

“With Fancy, I wanted to create a pretty fragrance, one that I could be just as comfortable wearing on the red carpet or every day with my favorite jeans. For me Fancy is just that; fancy. This is a special fragrance-personal, whimsical, playful and romantic with a heart of gardenia, an essence I truly cherish, Jessica Simpson.”

You know, I can’t help but think that the name of this fragrance is a subtle nod to the famous country song of the same name by Reba McEntire … especially now that Jessica Simpson has gone country herself. Meh. If you’ve smelt one celeb fragrance, you’ve smelt them all. I guess she looks a’ight in these pics — I suppose we’re meant to believe that Fancy smells like Jessica Simpson in bed, right?

Veteran actor (and star of Batman: The Dark Knight) Michael Caine was on hand (and feet) yesterday to leave his hand and footprints in front of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, CA … here are a few pics from his ceremony:

Oscar-winner Michael Caine literally made his mark on Hollywood here Friday, joining the ranks of movie legends who have sunk their hands and feet in concrete outside the famous Chinese Theatre. The 75-year-old actor was honored at a ceremony in front of the Hollywood landmark attended by around 100 guests, including the director of Caine’s next film, the upcoming Batman sequel “The Dark Knight.” Caine, who has twice won best-supporting Oscars for his roles in “Hannah and Her Sisters” and “The Cider House Rules,” plays the caped crusader’s loyal butler Alfred in the keenly anticipated blockbuster, due out on July 18. “It’s the only award of its kind in the world,” Caine told the local ABC7 television network. “I know you get your star on the Hollywood pavement, but there’s only been 192 of these since 1921, so they don’t throw them about, you know?” … Caine has appeared in more than 100 films during a career that has spanned a half-century.

Woot! Much congrats to Michael Caine on this recognition … he is one of those actors that you may not think about very often but are always impressed with when he shows up in a film. He makes a great Alfred in the new Batman franchise … I look forward to seeing him in many future Batman films from here on out. Kudos and congrats again!!!

Here we go again … In Touch Weekly is reporting that Angelina Jolie gave birth to twin girls at 6pm local time in Nice, France today:

Sources at the La Fondation Lenval hospital in Nice, France, have revealed exclusively to In Touch that Angelina Jolie has given birth to her twins. According to insiders, the 33-year-old had a cesarean today at 6pm French time and delivered two girls. The first baby was born at 6:45 pm and the other at 7pm. The babies are in good health, another insider says. Sources say Brad was present during the birth. When contacted by In Touch, the hospital’s spokesperson, Nadine Bauer, said that journalists would not be notified ”within minutes” after the birth and that the only way they would be told was by a press release posted on the hospital Web site. Another insider adds that Angelina is expected to leave the hospital with her newborns within 48 hours. Angelina checked into the seafront hospital earlier this month in anticipation of the twins arrival.

If true, this is amazing news — it would mean that Brangelina’s twin babies and I will share the same birthday!!! Of course, this report must be taken with a grain of salt, we’ve already been thru one erroneous report of the Brangelina twins. More deets if and when they become available …

Katherine Heigl, who infamously took herself out of Emmy Award consideration this year, may have also taken herself out of future employment on her hit TV show Grey’s Anatomy. After proclaiming to the world that she didn’t believe she was worthy of an Emmy Award because of the poor material she was asked to work with on her show, it is being reported that her Grey’s boss Shonda Rhimes may be ready to get rid of Katherine’s charcter, Izzie Stevens, on the show. E!’s Marc Malkin has got all the deets:

Is Katherine Heigl dead to the producers of Grey’s Anatomy? Maybe. Latest buzz hissing from the set of the ABC hit is that creator Shonda Rhimes may be entertaining the idea of killing off Heigl’s Dr. Isobel “Izzie” Stevens because of the now infamous remarks Heigl made about the upcoming Emmys. Lest you forget, Heigl took herself out of the running for this year’s Emmy race because she felt the writers failed to give her enough good material to work with last season. “It’s not good there,” a source tells me of the Grey’s Anatomy set. “Shonda is pissed. They’re thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead.” While a dead Izzie may never happen, it would be an ironic twist, because industry insiders have long speculated that Heigl wants to ditch the show.

LOL! This so reminds me of the Friends ep where Joey gave an interview to Soap Opera Digest telling the mag that he wrote his own lines on Days of our Lives and then the angry Days writers killed off his character by throwing him down an empty elevator shaft. Do they have elevators on the set of Grey’s Anatomy? Cuz … if so, Izzie may eventually end up at the bottom of one of them very soon.
