Reese Witherspoon's Son Dreams of Becoming... a Pizza Delivery Boy
You'd think being the child of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe would set you on a natural career path of acting, but not Deacon Phillippe. No, he wants to be a pizza delivery boy!
Reese told Daily Express newspaper, "He wants to be a pizza delivery boy,” says Reese. “Not that there is anything wrong with that but it’s hard to see how it could be a career as such."
Well, now Deacon is being offered a position at Pizza Hut. It will be a while before he shows up at your door to deliver your large Pepperoni, seeing as he is only four-years old right now. Pizza Hut has sent a letter (posted below) to Deacon via Extra, as well as a uniform and gift certificates.
In that case, I'd like to work the drive-thru at Chick-Fil-A when I grow up. Do you hear that, Chick-Fil-A??? Feel free to send me gift certificates.

Dear Deacon,
We recently heard that you want to be a pizza delivery driver when you grow up. How wonderful! You’ve got several years to go before you can join our team, but in the meantime we’re sending you a few things, so that you can practice:
- Pizza Hut uniform that’s just your size
- Mini delivery car for you to polish your driving skills
- Gift cards so that you can order Pizza Hut pizzas and deliver them to your friends and family
We have delivery drivers who have worked for us for 10, 15, even 20 years! And the same Pizza Hut drivers who deliver hot, fresh pizzas right to your door have gone on to become successful businessmen, doctors, lawyers and, yes, actors.
Deacon, keep on dreaming big and know that we’re saving a spot for you on our team. Have fun practicing your Pizza Hut delivery driver skills!
Sincerely,
Sandi Karrmann
Chief People Officer, Pizza Hut

Weekend Roundup
In sad news this week, Kanye West's mother, Donda West, passed away Saturday. She died as the result of complications with cosmetic surgery, her publicist confirmed to CNN today. Donda was chairwoman of Chicago State University's English department before leaving her post to become Kanye's manager in 2004. She also served as chairwoman of the Kanye West Foundation, an educational nonprofit helping decrease dropout rates and improve literacy. Donda recently released a book entitled Raising Kanye: Life Lessons from the Mother of a Hip-Hop Star.
- Britney Spears may have failed a drug test. I no longer know if I'm reporting on Britney or Anna Nicole Smith. UPDATE: The cause of the failed drug test was prescription drugs. A Britney source told TMZ, "The only thing that comes on the results are the prescriptions, that the court doctor prescribed. There has been no illegal drugs or even alcohol in any of the test results."
- Britney's new album "Blackout" is losing the top spot on the charts mighty fast.
- Elisabeth Hasselbeck gave birth to a baby boy this weekend, whose name she will reveal today when she calls into "The View". UPDATE: Elisabeth announced she and husband Tim Hasselbeck named their son Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck.
- Christina Aguilera had a blue-themed baby shower this weekend. And what would any baby shower be without a perfomance by a few drag queens?

- Angelina Jolie's leather pants began to split this weekend at the London premiere of Beowulf. But not to worry, Brad Pitt shielded the split by putting his hand on her ass.
- Does pregnancy cause your hair to thin out? Nicolette Sheridan reportedly asked her costars this question, prompting rumors that she might be preggers.
- News of the World is reporting that Chelsy Davy has dumped Prince Harry.
- Kate Hudson might be dating Heath Ledger these days. I can't keep up with her love life.
- Alicia Keys is glad she listened to her mama. She first chose her stage name to be Alicia Wild, which her mother told her made her sound like a stripper. Well, anything is better than her real name... Alicia Augello-Cook.
- A woman got so excited upon seeing Jessica Simpson at NYC's Waverly Inn restaurant last week that she "gets up and runs through the crowd to get a peek." But instead of catching up to Simpson, the woman fell over onto a table knocking it over, sending plates and glasses flying, and then she finally landed near the fireplace. I know what you are thinking... No, it wasn't me. I swear!

Motorola's Ninth Anniversary Party

Kelly Clarkson performed at the event.

Brittany Murphy and her husband Simon Monjak attended and basically made out the whole time. He's a looker, ain't he?

Audrina Partridge made an appearance sans BFF Lauren Conrad. Since Audrina has broken off her two year on-again/off-again relationship with "Justin Bobby," she has supposedly been canoodling with model Tyson Paige. LC herself may have had a recent hookup with Wisteria Lane's resident gay teen, Shawn Pyfrom.

Dave Annable showed up and so did his rumored hookup...

Emily VanCamp, Dave's sister on "Brothers and Sisters". It's pretty weird when you think about fake brother and sister hooking up because you still feel like they are really brother and sister. Kind of like Greg and Marcia Brady's behind the scenes relationship that took place between the sheets, as well as Greg and stepmom Carol Brady's relationship off-camera. And also Julia McNamara and her son Matt McNamara on "Nip/Tuck" hooked up for quite a while in real life. That's just plain gross.

Although my heart really belonged to Noel, I couldn't resist putting up this recent picture of Scott Speedman who played Ben on "Felicity".
Ok, now this is listed on WireImage as Chyna. I'm pretty damn sure that this is Khloe Kardashian. I mean, I can see the resemblance and where they got confused. But damn, I would stab someone if they ever compared me to Chyna. Seriously, she was a wrestler. She's HUGE!
Now this is Chyna... (By the way, she legally changed her name to Chyna today. Why this is breaking news, I don't know? Regardless, she is officially Chyna now.)

People's Choice Awards
The nominees for the 34th People's Choice Awards were announced today. The Guru has already voted on all of her favs and if you would like to do the same, you can do so here. Also, enjoy some of the pictures taken at the Announcement Ceremony.Scott Foley, Paula Abdul (not crying while simultaneously laughing like a hyena for once), A.J. Cook (I'm sorry... Who?), and my BFF Ryan Seacrest.
New Skank on the Block (NSotB, as I like to call her), Kim Kardashian made an appearance at the event. I'm not really sure why she was there. Unless "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" has become a runaway hit. Preteens dancing on stripper poles... Not so sure the people would choose something like that.

Pictures Galore!
It's kind of a slow news day in the celebrity world... Well, except Britney Spears running a red light with her children and a court-appointed monitor in the car. Somebody just commit her already!
Since I'm a member over at WireImage now, I get to scour through lots of pictures of celebrities attending premieres, parties, galas, and the occasional paparrazi stakeout on the street. I feel like sharing the wealth today so several posts are to follow of pictures of glamourous celebs attending glamorous events.
First up...
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at the premiere of Lions for Lambs (which is getting shiteaous reviews) - Is he trying to force her to be so much like him that he made her get his exact same haircut? Ease up, Tom.

I Hope She Flushed Her Nose Candy
Amy Winehouse's London home was raided by police today. Four men were also arrested in relation to the case. Winehouse and her husband Blake Fielder-Civil have not been arrested (yet), but the police said it is an ongoing investigation.
Amy was supposed to film her new video this week, but was a no-show after she supposedly got wasted the night before and spent the whole next day on her sofa. I wonder what she watched. "Designing Women" reruns? I've heard she thinks Suzanne Sugarbaker is a hoot.
UPDATE: Blake got arrested late Thursday night. He was supposed to go to trial for beating up a bartender, but he has been caught bribing the witnesses to lie that he was innocent. Blake could be doing some serious time for this.

It's Official... J-Lo is Knocked Up!
Jennifer Lopez confirmed (or stated the obvious) last night that she is pregnant with Marc Anthony's baby. The couple were onstage at a Miami concert when J-Lo decided to give the not-so-surprising announcement. She said, "This is a special time in our lives and we waited until the last show to tell you." When asked what she will be doing during her pregnancy, J-Lo responded, "Eatin' Susie's chips...bidi bidi bom bom (picture me turning)." It was a very odd moment.
