Baby-Hungry Holly Madison Pained To Learn Hef's Pond Was Dry
Hugh Hefner is currently undergoing a transformation that bears all the signs of a late-life crisis; after all, he's traded in his young, blond, nubile girlfriends for younger, blonder, face-kicking twins. Sadly, despite the fact that Hef's new girlfriends are still teenaged, he's still not much for children, and ex-Girl Next Door Holly Madison says that it was her fruitless attempts to bear Hef's spawn that forced her to finally pack her frilly underthings and depart Holmby Hills: More »![[image]](http://mowser.com/img?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcache.defamer.com%2Fassets%2Fimages%2F1%2F2008%2F10%2Fthumb160x_stevie_ok.jpg)

Tragedy Averted! We Think! New reports from Reuters quote a statement from Stevie Wonder denying his house was among those burned in the deadly Sesnon wildfire. "I'm grateful to say that my house was not burned down in the fire," Wonder said. "I extend my sympathies to anyone who may have been touched by this horrendous event." Thank you, Stevie; it means a lot to us. Nick Nolte's home, alas, remains destroyed. [Reuters]

'Project Runway' Crowns Its New Christian (And It Isn't Kenley)
On last night's first all-girl-powered (no, the Season One trio of Jay McCarroll, Kara Saun, and Wendy Pepper didn't count) Project Runway finale, contestants Korto, Leanne, and the vociferous Kenley duked it out for ultimate Bryant Park tent supremacy. The spoils would ultimately fall to low-key Nerd We'd Like to Play Frisbee With, Leanne, and her pleat-orgy collection of flappywear. (As the judges noted, she was the only one who offered a unified vision that incorporated both form and function: Every skirt offered a minimum of 40 of places to hide your wallet!) More »

Say Goodbye to Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Pajamas!
Republican hearts raced this morning as conservative pin-up girl Elisabeth Hasselbeck told the audience of The View that she'd be showing off what she wears to bed every night. Would it be an oversized McCain/Palin '08 tee? A frilly nightgown from the Fox News gift shop? Or maybe even a fetching blue two-piece? More »

Madonna/Guy Ritchie Wreckage Offers Many Clues, No Answers in Couple's Crash
The radioactivity of Madonna and Guy Ritchie's combustion has settled nicely around our culture since Wednesday, yielding glowing little piles of second-guesses, third-guesses and other detritus helping us make sense of the biggest matrimonial disaster of the year. Here to help you with your wasteland exploration, Defamer's Biohazard Squad suited up this morning to map the terrain; their findings are after the jump. More »

The Truth (About Billy Bob Thornton) Is Out There for a Cuckolded David Duchovny
It's been a rough year for the Duchovny-Leonis, what with David's well-publicized trip to sex rehab, the general public's crushing indifference to a way-too-late X-Files movie, and the sad lack of bangable extras at the recent Czechoslovakian street fair in Manhattan. Few were surprised when the patient Tea Leoni announced her separation from Duchovny yesterday, but now the Daily Mail is claiming Duchovny instigated the breakup because Leoni was cheating — with Billy Bob Thornton: More »

Steve Carell To Put Napoleonic Twist On His Stock Moron Character
· Steve Carell is attached to play the "bravest," "dumbest" soldier in Napoleon's army in The Adventures of Brigadier Gerard. History buffs, we're sorry to tell you this comedy is coming from the guys who wrote Blades of Glory. [Variety]
· Fox has signed a seven-figure deal with Will Arnett, which includes the development of a new sitcom. We'd gladly pop a fistfull of forget-me-nows if it means moving past our Arrested Development grieving and starting afresh with Gob: Master of Illusion. [Variety]
· Paramount is reducing its 2009 slate from 25 to 20 releases in an "effort to make the company leaner and more efficient." They'll achieve this through the relatively painless decision to stop planned back-to-back production on Love Gurus 2 through 6. [Variety]

The Last Time: The early numbers on Wednesday's final presidential debate between Barack Obama and John McCain put viewership around 38.3 million — squarely between their second face-off (42 million) and their first tilt last month (34 million). Viewers who watched to the very end were rewarded with the accompanying bit of McCain prankery, which had Democrats nationwide wondering when Barack Obama had become a lobbyist.

George Hamilton Had Sex With His Stepmother When When He Was 12…And Loved It
FROM JEZEBEL.COM: George Hamilton was on The View this morning to promote his autobiography Don't Mind if I Do, which is apparently somewhat of a kiss-and-tell. Barbara Walters brought up perhaps one of the most outrageous trysts he wrote about: More »

More Amazing Pictures Released From 'Star Trek: Muppet Babies'
Yesterday, we spent time dissecting Entertainment Weekly's new cover devoted to the J.J. Abrams reboot of Star Trek, starring a Marfan's-afflicted Katie Holmes and the president of Pi Kapp. Today, even more images were released for the film, which comes out next summer but is being heavily promoted now, in October, because the strike-wary studios have fuck-all for you until next year. Let's have a look, shall we? More »

Xtreme Motherer Angelina Jolie Pledges To Adopt Rest Of World's Orphans By Year's End
Having glimpsed via W magazine at a rare, private look into the daily lives of Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, and their multi-hued brood, we feel we now have a pretty good picture of what goes on behind the razor-wire enforced walls of their various international compounds—a sort of high-luxury summer camp for underprivileged children, presided over by the most beautiful senior counselors in the universe, and host to unorthodox daily activities like Knife Golf and the Tattoo and Henna Workshop.

DJ AM Completes Recovery Cycle With First Concert, Interview
DJ AM joined Jay-Z last night for the rapper's performance at the Palladium, handily shattering the world-record recovery time for returning to the stage after nearly burning to death in a plane crash. The concert came one night after the AM's (a/k/a Adam Goldstein) conquering-hero welcome at the Avalon, and mere hours after People nabbed his first interview since the Sept. 19 accident that claimed four lives and also critically burned his friend and flight partner Travis Barker: More »

Wildfire Ravages Stevie Wonder's Home, 'Everything' Destroyed: UPDATE
(Update: Stevie Wonder Cross another address off your Star Maps: Stevie Wonder is the second celeb in eight days to lose his home to fire, reportedly suffering a total loss earlier this week when the ongoing Sesnon blaze claimed his Porter Ranch-area manse. Wonder's house was one of 49 destroyed in the flames, which has burned 18,000 acres in the Valley since a downed power line sparked the wildfire on Monday. And as stunned as we were to hear the cost of Nick Nolte's own infernal tragedy last week, Page Six notes that the R&B icon lost way, way more than a cardboard cutout of Jesus. (UPDATE: The Wonder house survived! More after the jump.) More »![[image]](http://mowser.com/img?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcache.gawker.com%2Fassets%2Fimages%2F7%2F2008%2F10%2Fthumb160x_ZMposter.jpeg)
