KEY POINTS:
What does a girl have to do to fall pregnant in Hollywood? Wait for the wind to change direction.
And if the latest rumours are to be believed, Pamela Anderson is the equivalent of a weather vane.
TMZ is reporting that double-whammy Pammy who filed for divorce from her third husband in December, has a bun in the oven.
The website says:
You'll recall Anderson filed for divorce last month, but called it off just days later. But sources tell TMZ she is now moving forward with the divorce, even though we know she's pregnant with his baby.
Pammy's hubby Rick Salomon has reportedly told friends that Anderson is "acting crazy" as a result of her alleged pregnancy, and is holding out for her hormones to calm down and welcome him back into the marriage.
The couple were married in Las Vegas on October 6.
Meanwhile, Anderson has posted this rather long-winded response to the pregnancy reports on her official blog:
"No."
The pithy message, her rep confirms, was posted on Thursday and is her final word on the pregnancy scandal.
What's in a name?
Clearly not a lot if you're Joaquin Phoenix.
The rugged actor made this video after he was recognised at the People's Choice Awards this week.
Too posh for words, the bloated and hung-over-looking actor used a series of cue cards to express his gratitude.
One of the cards had his name on it...but it was spelt incorrectly.
Repeat after me, you buffoon: Joaquin, Joaquin...Joaquin!
Oh, how terribly vexing.
Torch-holding for Jen
They say it's not over 'til the fat lady sings.
Well, I guess that explains why actor Vince Vaughn is still pining for former love Jennifer Aniston.
The Break-Up stars were an item in 2006, but Vaughan says they're still as close as ever.
"I have such a great friendship with Jennifer," he confesses to Parade magazine.
"I still talk to her constantly. I have a real, genuine connection with Jen."
So what derailed their romance?
"People date, and sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't," he spills.
And the actor says he's not yet ready to settle down.
"I don't run away from [the responsibility of having a family], but I've never been to the point where I've felt like, 'Wow, this makes sense,'" he adds.

Rehab, my a***!
Amy Winehouse is Britain's answer to Britney Spears, and she's also in denial about her train wreck of a life.
The tarnished jazz pixie says she is convinced she can sort out her own demons without having to go to rehab.
Winehouse spent some time in a British clinic last month, but says it did very little for her.
She says that her biggest problem isn't drugs, but alcohol.
She says, "I'm of the school of thought where if you can't sort something out for yourself then no one can help you. I don't know whether that's because I'm a strong woman.
"Drinking long-term is a lot worse than heroin. Alcohol's a real poison."

Meanwhile...Winehouse has returned from a sunny holiday in the Caribbean with ex-boyfriend George Roberts, which has sent her jailbird hubby into a real flap.
Imprisoned husband Blake Fielder-Civil is said to be spitting teeth over the fact his missus was sunning it up with Roberts - so much so that he reportedly resorted to self harm.
A former cellmate of Civil's tells British newspaper The Sun: "What Blake wants is not fame or a drug-fueled mess of a life. He wants a happy life with his wife.
"He is missing her like crazy. He breaks down in tears - he is falling apart.
"After spending four days in solitary he went mad and had to be treated to cuts to his arm. He is doing his best to survive without Amy but admits it's the hardest thing he has ever done."
Never mind Blakey, you'll soon be out of the clink and you'll be back in baby's arms.
Actually, make that two babies...
Wino is said to be getting clucky, and wants nothing more that to have a baby with Civil.
'She told Blake she wants to get pregnant as soon as she can,' an insider tells the Sunday People.
'She reckons it would pull them together as a family and help them focus their lives on something positive.
'It sounds like a crazy idea, but on the other hand it could be the thing that adds stability to her life.'
That's just perfect - another 'band-aid' baby brought into the world in a futile attempt to cover up the cracks in a flailing marriage.
Stick a cork in it, Wino.
Kabbalahbablaaah
Madonna's morbid fascination with Kabbalahbablaaah is taking the P.
InTouch claims the pop dinosaur spends upwards of $10,000 a month on blessed Kabbalah water.
A source tells the mag that Madge won't drink anything but.
A source said, "Madonna drinks a lot of water - that's one of her fitness secrets. And Kabbalah water is the only stuff she will touch. She also makes sure she always has some to hand, and has it regularly shipped to wherever in the world she is staying at the time."
Look into my eyes...
Scientology stalwart Tom Cruise has claimed another victim.
Will Smith.
Surprise!
The pair has been as thick as thieves for months, so Smith's 'conversion' to the dark side of the force ain't a big shock.
The New York Daily News says:
Big stars traditionally distribute "wrap presents" to crew members after completing a film. His recent gift after wrapping next summer's comedy "Hancock" was a card good for a personality test at your local Scientology center....The quiz is designed to convert people to the religion by identifying personality flaws that - surprise! - Scientology can fix right up for you...
[Smith ]told Access Hollywood last month: "I was introduced to it by Tom, and I'm a student of world religion. I was raised in a Baptist household. I went to a Catholic school."
So Smith has joined the ranks of Hollywood power players actively recruiting for the Church of Scientology.
No comment as yet from Smith's rep.
Where's Britney, ya'll?
She came, she saw, and she left a path of destruction in her path - it's hurricane Britney.
Nutty Britney Spears has gone AWOL again, and her whereabouts are unknown.
The disturbed popwreck fled her California home yesterday amidst fears her family were about to take drastic action and get her committed.
In a bid to outwit the media and her clan, Spears reportedly put word out that she was flying in her personal jet to several destinations: New York, Hawaii, Las Vegas, Barbados and Mexico.
The scam involved at least two private jets, a team of minions, numerous limos and police.
Brit Brit is said to be traveling with supposed paparazzo love Adnan Ghalib and his mates.
An insider tells ShowbizSpy.com: "This is all about them playing games with her fans to get exclusive pictures.
"She has lost contact with her two sons and her family is so scared for her mental health they fear she's a suicide risk and she's out flying or driving around the world playing games.
"It's just beyond belief."
But what's the real reason for Britney bolting?
The latest buzz indicates it's because of a sex tape starring the popwreck which has allegedly been leaked on the net.
The Sun claims that a 30-minute video of the star was published on the web yesterday, and its contents are said to be mind-blowing.
In the tape a shaven-headed Spears allegedly performs sex acts on two women and a male friend.
Dazed and seemingly drunk, the singer also dabbles in "what appears to be cocaine and marijuana".
I smell bull****.
We've had dozens of alleged Spears sex tapes, and none of them have transpired.
Truth will out.
Update:
New video footage has surfaced showing Spears driving around Mexico with Adnan Ghalib.
Something for the weekend...
What the duck?
And just like that, it goes from crazy to cute...
Ever heard of duck herding? Me neither. But it exists.
I heart this fabulous clip of marching ducks in the wilderness.
End bit
And so there you have it, gossip hounds: Another week, another popwreck on the skids.
Just so you know, this is my last blog until 24 January.
I'm Hobbit-bound; off on a well-deserved holiday to inspect NZ's glorious South Island. My heart sinks at the prospect of being devoid of gossip for two weeks, but I'll get over it...eventually.
This blogger will return.
Missing you already...
