Jens New Man?
-Jennifer Aniston has spent most of the summer quietly holed up at her Malibu, Calif., beach house, but that hasn't stopped the tabloids from drumming up plenty of drama on her behalf. While the latest Star unconvincingly blares, "Brad Still Loves You!" and Us Weekly wonders why Jen "can't find love," OK! is convinced she's once again spending quality time with British model Paul Sculfor, whom she was rumored to have parted ways with last month. According to the mag, the well-toned twosome stopped by seemingly indiscreet Los Angeles baby boutique Petit Tresor on July 17. "They were holding hands and whispering quietly to each other," says a spy. "Jen appeared to be very happy. They were acting like a married couple while shopping for various baby-related items like cribs, diaper bags and changing tables." Aniston purportedly picked out a $195 cashmere teddy bear, presumably as a present for one of her pals. So, what does the actress' spokesman have to a say about the rumored reunion? "We will not respond to any of this nonsense," he huffed to "Entertainment Tonight."
A New Romance For Hudson?
-Kate Hudson raised eyebrows a few days back when comedian Dax Shepard literally gave her the shirt off his back to hide her famous face as they exited a popular Malibu eatery. But her rep is putting the kibosh on talk that she's rebounded from her bust-up with Owen Wilson. "It wasn't a date," the mouthpiece assures the New York Post, "just a group of friends having dinner and some fun." So why the cover-up? "It was just a big press stunt," a mole tells the paper. "She took his shirt just to [bleep] with the media. It didn't even block her face."
Kate Moss: It's Over!
-Kate Moss may be going cold turkey when it comes to getting Pete Doherty out of her system. The London Daily Mirror says the supermodel has changed all her phone numbers to ensure the recidivist rocker, whom she reportedly kicked to the curb after his eye wandered to a younger model, can't reach out and touch her. "Pete was still phoning up last weekend and in the end it was too much even for Kate," a snitch tells the tab. "She thought she had made things clear -- that he should never get in touch with her again, under any circumstances. But he failed to get the message, so she's taken drastic action. It's a pain for her but she's more adamant than ever about making a clean break." Despite her obstinate devotion to the perforation- and arrest-disposed Doherty during the last two years, "Kate is determined to wipe the slate clean and that means never speaking to him again ... She's spending a lot of time on her own getting her head around things. It's been difficult, but she knows in her heart she's made the right decision," the snitch says.
Johnny and Vanessa...Finally Getting Married?
- Meanwhile, is Moss' onetime love Johnny Depp planning to make his nearly decade-long relationship with Vanessa Paradis legal? That's the word from Extra, which hints the recent health scare of their 8-year-old daughter, Lily-Rose, has given the effortlessly cool couple a push toward the chapel. Johnny and Vanessa, who are also parents to 5-year-old Jack, have been dogged with nuptial nattering off and on for years, most recently in May, when the London Daily Mail alleged they were looking to tie the knot this summer on their expansive estate in the South of France. "For all intents and purposes, we are married. We have two kids together and she is the woman in my life," Depp declared in 2005. "But if she ever said, 'Hey, let's get hitched,' I would do it in a second ... We'll do it if the kids want us to, or maybe when the kids are old enough to enjoy it with us."
More On McCartney and Mills' Bitter Divorce
-There are more than 60 million reasons why Paul McCartney and Heather Mills haven't yet settled their bitter divorce. The Times of London reports the music icon has offered his estranged missus $41 million to sign off on their split, but she believes their time together is worth more in the exclusive neighborhood of $102 million. The exes, who split in May 2006 after nearly four years of marriage, are facing a potentially dirty-laundry-filled court date in February unless they can come to an agreement on the $60 million difference. Says one attorney, "It could well go to trial, because they are both quite stubborn."
Wentz and Simpson Enganged!
-Will Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz pledge to stick together for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, in heavy eyeliner and streamlined schnozzes? Rumors began bubbling this week that the Fall Out Boy front man, 28, who recently assured In Touch he had no intention of settling down anytime soon, proposed to the overhauled warbler, 22, before hitting the stage at Live Earth on July 7. Baby talk quickly followed. But Ashlee's rep assures Us Weekly that the rumblings are "absolutely not true."
Paris: Kissed and Dissed?
-Paris Hilton hasn't quite gotten around to using her fame "in a good way," as she promised when she got out of the pokey, but she has managed to squeeze in some nuzzling with a new guy -- or possibly two.
According to People, the bubble-headed parolee, 26, recently snuggled up to one Tyler Atkins, a 21-year-old Australian T-shirt designer who also happens to be a dead ringer for her ex-beau, Stavros Niarchos.
The pair hung out in Malibu, Calif., last weekend, where they were spied "making out like teenagers," says the New York Daily News.
In between swapping spit, says People, Paris pocketed thousands in swag at a jewelry soiree (all earmarked for charity, we're sure), while Atkins proved his boyfriend skills by fetching her drinks, holding her purse and nestling her new Yorkie, Cinderella.
And it looks like their compatibility could extend beyond just tongue-wrestling -- they also share the same covetous life goals.
In a interview posted on YouTube, the gratingly motor-mouthed designer revealed he's "trying to make money to get a Range Rover" and his "ultimate dream is to have a successful business where I'm making good money and a big house in Bali, a big house in Mexico, a nice house in L.A."
Sounds like a match made in materialistic heaven. Still, Atkins may not be the only one on Hilton's radar.
The Daily News also caught her "getting very cozy" with fellow jailbird Suge Knight during a post-ESPY Awards shindig on July 11 in Los Angeles, with spies claiming she treated him to a "lap dance."
The New York Post adds that Suge stood guard outside the ladies' room so a purportedly pie-eyed Paris could have some privacy.
Hilton, however, insists to "Entertainment Tonight" that she's happily flying solo and is currently "working very hard" on her new clothing line (along with another -- oy oy oy -- album).
"It's exciting -- this has been a dream of mine ever since I was a little girl -- I'm fashion designing, I have my own doggie line coming out and just being an entrepreneur at such a young age," she self-congratulates to "ET." "My grandpa, my dad, my mom, everyone is so proud of me, so it feels really good to accomplish so much so young."
Meanwhile, has Paris been dissed by two bony women with preternaturally perky boobs?
In twin items we urge you take with a boulder of salt, the London Sun claims both Courtney Love and Victoria Beckham have cruelly rebuffed the heir-head in recent days.
Let's start with Love, who hauled her alarmingly scrawny figure onstage Tuesday night for a performance in Los Angeles.
The tabloid says in the middle of a song, the rehabbed rocker raised one twiglike arm to offer a one-fingered greeting to sometime pal Hilton (you'll recall they posed together at Paris' birthday bash back in February).
"Paris was just dancing at the side of the stage to 'Celebrity Skin' when Courtney stuck up a finger to her," recounts an eyewitness. "No one really knows what the reason was. Paris burst into tears and left the gig early."
As for now ubiquitous Los Angeles transplant Mrs. Beckham, the Sun says she has no interest in buddying up to Hilton, who supposedly told a pal, "I just know Victoria and I would get along. We could be soul mates."
(Uh-huh, because normal people talk like that all the time.)
Anyhoo, Posh's response supposedly went something like, "Over my dead body!" as she emphasized how they "couldn't be more different." How different? "You won't catch me falling out of nightclubs with no knickers on."
