After months of speculation (and a few false announcements), Angelina Jolie finally gave birth to twins Knox and Vivienne on Saturday night in a hospital on the French Riviera. With the Jolie-Pitt family now up to eight, media outlets have started the guessing game anew, pointing fingers at the next celeb to welcome twins to the family. We ourselves have been feeling baby fatigue, which may have been why we loved the distraction in this weekend's Miss Universe competition. Sequined dresses, intricate updos, and the requisite Miss USA stumble all enlivened the weekend and gave us more to talk about then just what the French Mayor said to welcome the future Hollywood stars. Chrystle Stewart of Texas, who represented the United States at the annual competition, could learn a thing or two from Rihanna; the singer-turned-fashion icon has not only stayed upright onstage while teetering on six-inch heels, but has landed the spot as the face of Gucci's new UNICEF campaign. The 20-year-old will be selling special-edition products from the "Tattoo Heart" collection (with 25-percent of sales donated to the children's organization) in what will surely be provocative poses.

The 65th Annual Golden Globe's Ceremony is the second award show to be canceled as a result of the WGA writer's strike which began over 2 months ago. Instead of broadcasting the show this Sunday, the winners will be announced on NBC News in what they are calling a "stripped-down" ceremony.

Basically, it will be really really lame and anticlimactic.

Last month's cancellation of the People's Choice Awards (which would have aired tomorrow night) was the first casualty that the writers strike can claim.

The show's cancellation comes after weeks of discord between the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the WGA, who have made the Golden Globes one of their campaign targets. Despite this, NBC had assured viewers as recently as last week that the show would go on. Apparently things have gone downhill for them since then!

As it were, the Globes would probably have been dampered by rowdy picketers and an embarrassingly small audience.

Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, Keira Knightley, Katherine Hiegl, Kristin Davis, and Patricia Arquette are among celebs who planned to boycott the Golden Globes to avoid crossing the picket line, and according to a statement issued by the Screen Actor's Guild, NONE of the more than 70 nominated SAG actors would attend.

WGA is obviously thrilled with SAG "for their continued solidarity and support," while the production company that was to produce the Golden Globes (Dick Clark Productions) complains that both guilds are being unreasonable.

On a broader scale, talks between writers and producers are at a standstill.

On the production side of things, The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers blame the WGA Strikers. AMPTP's campaign strategy is clear upon a visit to their website, where they tabulate the "180 million dollars that WGA strikers are causing writers to lose" and point out that the average working WGA writer makes more money than "an airline pilot", "family doctor", or "surgeon."

WGA West directly refutes the AMPTP's "misleading statement", pointing the finger back at the producers, who "are responsible for creating the economic havoc" and have "walked away from the table" after offering proposals that "would cause writers even more economic harm in the future than they claim this strike has caused."

Meanwhile, more and more show are hitting hiatus, including 30 Rock, Desperate Housewives, Heroes, House, and The Office.What a mess. I'm not sure what's gonna change, but someone's gotta start compromising!

In movies, Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman rocked the scale with two-time nominations, while Keira Knightley, James McAvoy and Saoirse Ronan scored 3 out of the 7 nominations racked up for the leading drama Atonement.

Charlie Wilson's War snagged the second most nominations, thanks to performances by classic favorites Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. Movies neck-in-neck with four nominations each were Johnny Depp's Sweeney Todd, George Clooney's Michael Clayton, and Tommy Lee Jones's No Country for Old Men.

It was nice to see Across the Universe in the runnings, but personally I was disappointed that the Disney musical Enchanted was left out. At least Amy Adams was selected for best musical actress, against Hairspray's Nikki Blonsky.

I also thought Robert Redford's Lions for Lambs drama should have been given more notice - it was so powerful (albeit cliché) - but there was tough competition with Angelina Jolie's A Mighty Heart, Denzel Washington's American Gangster, and Viggo Mortensen's Eastern Promises.

Acclaimed directors Tim Burton and Ridley Scott gained film nominations alongside Joe Wright and the newly arrived co-directors/brothers, Joel and Ethan Coen.

In television, old shows back in the nomination pool include Grey's Anatomy, House, 30 Rock and Entourage, while new shows Damages, Pushing Daisies, Mad Men, and Californication joined the competition this year.

Actor nominees Katherine Heigl, Jeremy Piven and Hugh Laurie were joined by new competition Christina Applegate, Anna Friel and Michael C. Hall, who this year began starring in Samantha Who?, Pushing Daisies and Dexter. It's nice to see Christina Applegate finally break away from her Married with Children pigeonhole, while Michael C. Hall was so good in Six Feet Under that it's great to have him back in yet another twisted drama.

All in all, the 65th Annual Golden Globe Awards should be an exciting race - assuming that the show does go on. With all that is going on with the WGA strike, there is talk of red-carpet picketing or celebrities refusing to show up to honor the event. Should be interesting to see what happens in Hollywoodland as the WGA strike goes on and the votes tally up! For a full list of nominees, see below...

Brad Pitt just got sexier...if that's possible. This week the studly actor and budding activist gave several interviews to discuss the "Make It Right" Organization he created with the goal to build 150 affordable and eco-friendly homes in the lower ninth district of New Orleans. Pledging $5 million of his own money and asking for any and all donations, Brad said he hopes to rebuild as many as possible of the more than 5000 homes destroyed by hurricane Katrina. He tells the NY Times:

"I've always had a fondness for this place - it's like no other. Seeing the frustration firsthand made me want to return the kindness this city has shown me."

"I see this as a great opportunity. If you have this blank slate and this great technology out there, what better test than low-income housing? It's got to work at all levels to really be viable."

In an interview with Larry King, Brad passionately discussed the eco-friendly aspect of "Making it Right", saying that he has embraced solar panels and water recycling in his own home.

And speaking of home life...Brad also dished to Larry (watch interview) on his relationship with Angelina Jolie - for the first time publicly refuting any romance between the two co-stars during the time that he was still married to Jennifer Aniston and filming of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith". Calling Angie "a woman of strong opinion and very specific beliefs and a great voice, Brad diplomatically stated that he respects Angelina's "great intellect" and said they more often "challenge" each other than fight."

As if being charitable, showing his humanitarian side, and speaking highly of his girlfriend wasn't enough, Brad then went on to gush about fatherhood, calling it "the hardest job of my life and the most rewarding" and explaining that his kids are all the same to - regardless of whether they are adopted or biologically his. "They are as much my blood as I am theirs."

Swoon much?!!!!

Angelina Jolie has been talking about her sex life. She recently told a British magazine that she has only slept with four men. FOUR. This severely challenges the view most people in the world have of Angelina Jolie. To us, she is an at-times bisexual seductress who publicly makes out with her brother, chews her lover's lip in the middle of the red carpet, and wears viles of his blood around her neck. News of Angie's sexual modesty comes, ironically, within days of another story about her sexual past - but this one is about how she played with knives during sex at age 14 because the sex alone "wasn't enough." But don't worry, Angie said she put her masochism behind her when she became a mother: "[motherhood] was the biggest change in my life and made me feel complete. I learned to accept responsibility for myself, my children and my partner."Well one thing's for certain with this one - ya sure can't call her boring.

Alicia Silverstone gets naked for vegetarian causes. Unfortunately, she also gets in trouble for it. Citing indecent nudity, Comcast Cable has pulled the plug on the PETA commercial which debuted in Houston and Dallas this Wednesday. Kind of a bummer for PETA and especially for Alicia who, sadly, would probably would have benefited even more from the ad than PETA. The actress, whose career has been lagging ever since the Clueless days, says what she loves most about vegetarianism is that "physically, the effect has been amazing."Physically, the effect has been amazing. Now watch the commercial and then try to repeat that line with a completely serious face.

O.J. Simpson is a f%$king retard. The guy gets acquitted in one of the world's most outrageous murder scandals EVER. And then, despite the knowledge that people all over the world despise him (and that the families of the two people he "probably" murdered spend every day plotting revenge), he writes the cocky book "If I Did It" which details the murders as if they are based in fiction. Finally, NOW, rather than tiptoeing around the legal system that so graciously bowed down to him 13 years ago, he has the audacity, greed and stupidity to march into a Las Vegas casino and steal freaking sports memorabilia??? And possibly kidnap someone?? And assault someone? With a deadly weapon??! The meathead's explanation for his behavior is that he was "only recovering items that had been illegally stolen from him."Ugh. Deeeeee- sgusting. Here's the good news though - there is a chance OJ really will end up back in jail - for life! Click here to read more about his charges for "11 offenses, including two counts of conspiracy to commit kidnapping with a deadly weapon, two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon and assault with a deadly weapon." Here's hoping!

Incriminating photos of champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya, or rather "Miss Oscar De La Hoya", have been flying around the internet since x17online published them on Wednesday. The boxer's lawyer has insisted that they are not real, stating that they must have been digitally altered and requesting that they be removed immediately. For the time being though, x17online stands by their photos. We'll have to see whether the authenticity or the fraudulence of the photos is proven first...

Kate Moss may have gotten rid of infamous party-aholic boyfriend Pete Doherty, but his partying influence has stayed intact. The supermodel has been hitting the party scene hard since their split, even getting so trashed at a party in London this week that her designer dress was torn in three places by the time she headed home. Good thing she is a fashion designer - Kate's dress actually looks like it could have been styled that way on purpose!

Hollywood has not been the same since Lindsay Lohan went back to rehab. The girl who rehab insiders say is "getting better every day" has finally admitted her problem with drugs and alcohol, started to eat again, and even made up with her dad. Despite all of the ridiculous press attention her father has been vying for, Lindsay has put her trust back in Michael Lohan. The two have grown so close that they attend AA meetings together and even pray together...for Britney Spears. Yes, Michael and Lindsay Lohan pray for Britney Spears. Lindsay is just flooded with inspiration these days and when she isn't praying for people, she writes song lyrics because when she gets out of rehab she is going to be a sober rockstar.

Tabloid redundant Kim Kardashian's ass is all over the gossip blogs again. She is still only famous for having a very, very large behind, her power hooligan attorney dad Robert Kardashian, and friends like Paris Hilton. But one of these days we will actually see the reality show she has been talking about forever - which will be "a peek inside her private family life" - a family that includes stepbrother Brody Jenner. As much as Brody is probably a total scumbag, I have to say, I wouldn't mind seeing more of his face on screen...

Kanye West can stop crying about losing "Male Artist of the Year" to Justin Timberlake now that he has won his album sales battle against rap rival 50 cent. After weeks of trumped-up hype that seemed more like a publicity stunt to boost both rapper's sales, Kanye's album "Graduation" has come out significantly ahead of 50 Cent's "Curtis". We probably won't catch video footage of 50 cent throwing a tantrum over his loss, but then again, we might not be seeing him at all. The east coast rapper told a hip-hop site this month he'll retire if he loses the battle: "If Kanye sells more records, I'll no longer write music. I'll write music and work with my other artists, but I won't put out anymore solo albums."Personally, I'm calling his bluff. What do you think?
