The woman Jude Law impregnated last winter while shooting Sherlock Holmes, Samantha Burke, is due in October and expects to cash in on her famous little spawn. The New York Post reports that Samantha, who bills herself as "Model, Actress, Mother-to-be" on her personal website (classy! So "Mother-to-be" is how you earn your money?), is shopping for offers in the hundreds of thousands of dollars for pictures of the baby, which is due on the same day that Jude opens in Hamlet on Broadway.

Samantha, a 24-year-old native Floridian, hooked up with Jude last winter. Reports surfaced … Read More

The jig's up for Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff.

According to People, Karina's rep confirmed yesterday that the pair have called off their engagement.

Dancing With the Stars' Maks, 28, proposed to Karina, 31, in January of this year. The diamond appeared to end Maks' reputation as the show's untouchably macho stud and Karina's misfortune in love (remember her embarassing fling with dance partner Mario Lopez?). They began dating around this time last year, and Maks told reporters that he'd secretly loved Karina for a long time. For years she'd laughed off his advances but finally … Read More

With such a talented gene pool to draw from, we're surprised Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel's baby didn't come out belting "Evita" or the closing number to Oliver.

The two Broadway veterans welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Walker Nathaniel Diggs, on Wednesday.

A rep for Diggs confirmed to Access Hollywood that all was well with the new family—despite the child having a name that will forever be associated with a really bad Chuck Norris television show about a Texan ranger, but we digress. When Dating, How Important Is Someone's Name?

"Mother, father and son are all … Read More

Another week, another date night for the First Couple. Last week President Barack Obama took his wife Michelle out on the town. And by out, he flew the two of them (and a few security) to New York City. "On the town" included a limo ride to dinner and a stop on Broadway where they saw the play Joe Turner's Come and Gone.

This week the entire First Family was in Paris to commemorate, with the leaders of France, Britain and Canada, the 65th anniversary of D-Day. The Obama family had a private tour of Notre Dame Cathedral, where … Read More

David Hyde Pierce, who played fussy psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane on Frasier for eleven seasons and won four Emmys for his work, appeared on The View last Thursday to discuss his recent marriage, to TV producer Brian Hargrove, and last week's decision by the California Supreme Court to ban future gay marriages. "I was sitting in front of my television wondering, 'Gee, I hope it's okay the Supreme Court thinks I'm married.' Excuse me, it's none of your business," he said.

David and Brian were married in October, 25 years into their relationship. David had previously spent years being … Read More

Anyone see this lady excoriate her soon-to-be ex-husband on YouTube? She’s a washed-up Broadway actress. He’s a Broadway executive, and, according to her, quite a yutz. She calls out family members and airs copious amounts of dirty laundry. She then gets her husband’s assistant on the horn and tells her a thing or 3 about her boss. The whole clip plays like a missing scene from Bette Midler's divorcesplotation comedy, The First Wives Club.

Evidently, the Broadway couple signed a pre-nup, so this has to be more about catharsis than the settlement (though sleeping with his best friend may have been … Read More
