Too fit for kids? Jillain Michaels doesn’t want babies stretching out her well-toned tummy.

The Biggest Loser trainer doesn’t want to ruin her super-fit figure by getting pregnant, so she’s planning to adopt kids instead. Jillian was overweight as a child and after winning the battle with obesity she doesn’t want to risk undoing all that hard work by gaining weight with a pregnancy.

“I’m going to adopt,” the 36-year-old told Women’s Health Magazine this month. “I can’t handle doing that to my body. Also, when you rescue something, it’s like rescuing a part of yourself.”

At least she’s honest. However, Jillian’s remarks has attracted widespread criticism within in the health industry, with some experts accusing her of passing on dangerous ideas to other women about the “health risks” of pregnancy. Meanwhile, others have praised the fitness guru for wanting to open her heart to a child in need — no matter what her reasons.

Glee, FOX’s hit TV musical, managed to nab the Future Classic Award at last week’s 2010 TV Land Awards. What better way to pay homage to the series than by having TV Land’s very own Glee Club — headed up by David Hasselhoff and composed of some of the biggest sitcom stars of yesteryear — perform their own rendition of the song that turned Glee into pop culture pheomenon –Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.

Anything that features the vocal stylings of The Hoff is at least good for a few chuckles…..

Her down to Earth attitude and soulful vocals have Crystal Bowersox well on her way to striking gold at next month’s American Idol finale….and naturally here come the vulgars! The Sandusky Register, a local newspaper in Crystal’s hometown of Elliston, Ohio, claims that “celebrity gossip magazines” and various websites have been sneaking around town “digging for all the dirt they can find” on the crooner.

According to The Register, even a reporter from The National Enquirer has been snooping around and “looking for tips” about the private life of the single mother of one.

Oh dear — Rihanna carried on like a pro after almost falling flat on her face during a live show in France this week. The “Rude Boy” star was performing at Le Dome in Marseille Wednesday night when she lost her balance, slipped, and fell to the floor while sprinting across stage in high heels.

Not to worry, RiRi quickly regained her composure and completed the rest of her song without incident. The singer was hospitalized in Switzerland the week due to an injured rib.

Sigh…Just another day “Living Lohan…”

All Hell broke loose on Twitter this afternoon as actress Lindsay Lohan took to the social networking site to launch an attack on her estranged father Michael, who unexpectedly showed up at Lindsay’s crib with cops in tow just a few hours ago.

Michael — steadfast in his assertion that Lindsay is back on drugs — went to the Los Angeles home of his actress daughter Thursday seeking to get his other daughter, Ali Lohan, removed from the residence. Despite enlisting the help of the sheriff, Michael was unable to remove Ali from Lindsay’s home, as he does not have custody of the 16-year-old.

Lindsay hit her Twitter following the incident, claiming she is desperate to get a restraining order against her father after he came to her home with the officers.

“OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,” Lindsay posted on her Twitter account just after 11:30 AM PT. “i have no choice but to make this public, due to my sister’s safety, as well as my own, ‘my ex-dad’ just WALKED INTO MY APT like the devil’s advocate with officers….”

“my lawyer isn’t answering I NEED A RESTRAINING ORDER! MY SISTER AND FRIEND TOO!!!!! HE’S NUTS!!!” she added.

She’s not done yet: “He has NEVER paid child support, and is marrying a tabloid writer and can barely spell his own name due to his “brain” that has been ruined due to HIS drug use. when will it ever end… it’s been going on my whole life with him-hasn’t he caused enough pain?… thank g-d for my mommy… w/out her, i wouldn’t even know myself.”

Michael explained his actions in a statement issued after the fallout: “Lindsay took Ali to the Coachella Music Festival this past weekend and drove home at 115 miles per hour. I went to the police department concerned about Ali’s welfare. I wanted to check on Ali. I want to make sure she’s OK. She’s 16 and she doesn’t belong there! She’s a minor. Ali is being exposed to nightlife and the people Lindsay is surrounding herself with.”

Naturally, Lohan matriarch Dina has also weighed in. She tells PEOPLE that her ex-husband is “insane” and she’s working tirelessly to obtain protective orders barring Michael access to their daughters.

The Big Girls aren’t welcome on The Alphabet: Plus-size label Lane Bryant says that a commercial advertising their new line of lingerie has been rejected by ABC and FOX.

Lane Bryant — which caters to the pleasantly-plum bodies of the world — was set to launch its campaign for Cacique, a new line of intimates, during this week’s Dancing With The Stars, but controversy erupted after ABC abruptly yanked the ad spot, insisting the models in the ad bared too much cleavage for the commercial to be aired in primetime.

Lane Bryant thinks the Disney-owned network is “prejudiced against boobs” and has rallied cries of discrimination against the full-figured, an insider told The New York Post on Thursday.

“The cleavage of the plus-size models, they said, was excessive, and we don’t think that’s the case. It certainly appears to be discrimination against full-sized women.”

The brand also complains that FOX initially resisted the idea airing the ad during Wednesday’s episode American Idol. That network only relented after it was pointed out to executives that a commercial featuring the petite bodies of Victoria’s Secret models frequently airs between Idol segments.

Thoughts on this? Is the new Lane Bryant commercial too hot for TV?

It’s that time of year again, Nylon is rolling out the red carpet for Tinseltown’s most elite as part of its annual Young Hollywood Edition. This year, the mag gives kudos to starlets Portia Doubleday (Youth in Revolt), Ashley Greene (Twilight), and Vanessa Hudgens (Bandslam, High School Musical).

Does anyone else find it a bit ironic that two of the young women selected Nylon’s honorary May issue (Vanessa and Ashley) have been the subjects of nude photo scandals? Just a thought.

Vanessa Hudgens On Shopping With Mary Kate Olsen: “I love her! I used to be in her fan club!… When we were in Montreal, we’d go shopping and she’d take me to vintage stores and I would literally just follow her around being like, ‘Help me! What do you look for? Please tell me. Give me your shirts. What’s your shirt secret?’”

Portia Doubleday On Life After Youth in Revolt: “I would still rather do well in class than book a job. That’s the honest truth.”

Ashley Greene Sounds Off On The Paparazzi: “I know their cars. Bit there’s always people sitting outside my house. I put my own security system in my apartment because you have to worry about people getting a little too obsessed.”

A British astrologer claims Britney Spears’ team has approached him about providing his services to the pop tart.

Spears is apparently interested in getting guidance from renowned stargazer Russell Grant.

“I got an email from Britney Spears’ office,” Russell tells The Sun (Yeah, I already know….) “Apparently she wants a reading. I need to check out its validity.”

Britney, 28, has been dating her manager Jason Trawick, 38, on and off for the past year.

Over the past two years, Lady Gaga has risen from virtual obscurity to become one of the biggest pop stars of the past decade, but according to salacious new scoop from London’s Now Magazine, the singer is suffering from such low self-esteem she wants to go under the knife to rid herself on her insecurities.

“She’s desperately unhappy but keeps talking about having thousands of dollars worth of plastic surgery,” one nervous tipster divulges. “She really thinks that could fix everything. She’s in a really bad way right now. She puts up such a guard that no-one ever really knows what she’s feeling. She thinks she looks too manly and spends hours looking at herself.”

The insider adds: “She’s thinking about a whole host of cosmetic procedures, including a nose job, cheek implants, boob job and thigh and bum lift. She’s completely preoccupied with overhauling her looks….Everyone’s worried about her and is begging her to take a break and get some perspective and work on her self-confidence.”

Late celebrity spinner Adam Goldstein — revered across the music world as DJ AM –makes a cameo appearance in the superheor blockbuster Iron Man 2, in theaters May 7.

The acclaimed mixmaster succumbed to a drug overdose in his New York City apartment last August. He was 36. Two months before his death, Goldstein filmed a party scene that is featured in the film. Lensman Jon Favreau — who directed the sequel to 2008’s cinema hit — tells The Los Angeles Times that although it was a difficult decision, he’s decided to let the cameo stay.

“We tried to make it respectful, and for people who know him, they’ll get a kick out of it and for people who don’t, it will sort of slide by without much notice.”

Iron Man 2 is dedicated to the memory of DJ AM.

We’ll call this one “The Wedding That Wasn’t:” It looks like The Snookster pulled the plug on her romance with reportedly fame-hungry former beau Emilio Masella just as he was planning to put a ring on it.

Jersey Shore’s poofed-up guidette unceremoniously dumped the Gold’s Gym personal trainer in a profane voicemail early Monday after learning that the well-gelled hunk had spent the weekend trying out for the new season of MTV’s The Real World. The news has been devastating for Emilio, who just days before their split told Star Magazine of his plans to propose marriage to Snooki.

(Insert Sarcasm Here) Spilling your guts to a tabloid is a great way to prove that you’re not just in it for fame, Emilio — but we digress….

“I’m going to have something really special for her when she gets back — the ring she’s always wanted!” Emilio gushed to the tabloid last week, even telling Star reporters that he was saving up to buy the engagement ring of Snooks dreams. “She wants a really big diamond, big enough to beat someone up with. I’m going to buy her the biggest ring I can afford, because she deserves only the best….a big rock that has bling all over it. I want it to just sparkle all over, just like her,” he swooned.

Um — is he talking about the same girl that lost her top in a hot tub?

Masella — a native of Connecticut — had been planning to pop the question to Snooks once shooting wrapped on the upcoming second season of Jersey Shore. Emilio was even hoping to recruit Snooki’s Shore castmate Jenni “J-Woww” Farley as a bridesmaid in the wedding! In fact, Emilio was so confident that he’d have a long future of GTL-ing with the pint-sized sensation he was looking into booking a room at a luxe Las Vegas hotel, where he’d was prepared to make his play for marriage.

He even had a script all ready. Wanna hear it? “I’m a romantic guy, so I’d want it to be really sweet. There would be candles, rose petals, and a bottle of champagne. After she saw the room decorated, I’d get down on one knee and tell her all the things I love about her, how beautiful she is. I can’t wait.”

Three young men who are suing trouble-ridden actress Lindsay Lohan are planning to ask a judge to order the Mean Girls star to appear for a deposition after she blew off the legal hearing twice in the past week.

LiLo was called to give testimony regarding a lawsuit filed by a group of Hollywood revellers, who accuse the star of holding them hostage during a drunken high speed chase through Malibu in 2007. The anything-but-joyous ride ended with Lindsay behind bars for DUI and cocaine possession.

She was due to attend a deposition in Venice on April 14, but showed up 90 minutes late, forcing the meeting to be cancelled. The deposition was rescheduled for yesterday morning, but Lohan — who is reportedly almost bankrupt — failed to show again because she reportedly couldn’t get to court on time.

Is Kristen Stewart Wanted?

Hollywood insiders tell E! News gossips that The Twilight Saga’s Kristen Stewart is in talks to replace Oscar winner Angelina Jolie in the upcoming sequel to the 2008 action flick Wanted. If producers with Universal get their way, the 19-year-old brunette could land a role as the female lead alongside actor James McAvoy.

It’s here: Gabourey Sidibe’s making her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this weekend, and fans can’t wait for the sure-to-be side-splitting sketches we’re in store for as the Oscar-nominated Precious star brings her vivacious zest for life to the small screen.

Hide your electronic devices, the cattiest maven to ever hit the catwalk is off her meds again — and this time she’s attacking cameras. Tempermental beauty Naomi Campbell has refused to testify at the war crimes trial of former Liberian dictator Charles Taylor, saying that she would not speak about the huge, uncut “blood diamond” he allegedly gave her during a trip to South Africa in 1997 — and she nearly flipped her wig (literally) when quizzed about the controversy by ABC News.

The supermodel and the warlord were overnight guests of Nelson Mandela, along with humanitarian Mia Farrow. In her testimony, Farrow has revealed that she learned of the diamond at breakfast the next moring.

“Naomi Campbell came down . . . she said during the night some men had knocked on her door and she, half-asleep, had opened the door and it was representatives of President Charles Taylor and that they had given her a huge diamond. And we were like, ‘Oh, my gosh….”

“Prosecutors say Taylor was in South Africa . . . to buy weapons for the Sierra Leone rebels with blood diamonds and that Mia Farrow’s information about Campbell helps tie him to the purchase,” says ABC correspondent correspondent Brian Ross. Naomi vowed to keep mum on the issue at a recent Fashion Week appearance to raise money for Haiti.

“I didn’t receive a diamond and I’m not going to speak about that,” she fumed.

Naomi then abruptly ended the interview by slamming the camera to the floor.

Talk about bad timing: Scandal-snipped star Sandra Bullock has agreed to return her Golden Raspberry award after accidentally collecting the original “priceless” trophy instead of a cheap replica intended for her during last month’s ceremony.

The 45-year-old Oscar winner was awarded the Worst Actress Razzie for her role in the 2009 comedic stinker All About Steve, but last week Razzie co-founder John Wilson issued a statement claiming Sandra was handed the original trophy, which is worth thousands of dollars.

After some investigative work by her reps, The Blind Side actress has agreed to the Razzie trophy to its rightful owners.

“We were never contacted by them to return the Razzie. I contacted them yesterday to check the validity of the story and was only told then that we had been given the wrong award. We will be returning the Razzie to them shortly,” her publicist Cheryl Maisel tells E! News.

Cash-strapped former reality star Jon Gosselin has parted ways with his attorney.

The annoucement comes one day after the lawyer — who had been representing the father of eight in a custody battle with his ex-wife Kate — issued a disparaging public statement about America’s latest Dancing With The Stars castaway.

“Mr. Anthony List Sr. Esq. Is not my representing attorney,” Jon Tweeted early Thursday. “I terminated him on April 15, 2010. “He has no legal right to speak to the press or anyone on my behalf,” Jon’s Tweets continued. “Kate, her attorneys and I are moving forward to work out things privately and amicably,” he later added.

The Gosselins are due in court on the custody matter on May 25.

Ex-American Idol Kelly Clarkson’s upcoming concert in Indonesia will go down without the sponsorship of an Asian cigarette giant following protests from fans and anti-tobacco groups.

In recent days, Kelly’s Facebook page has been flooded with fans begging her to reject the cigarette sponsorship, saying she is sending the wrong message to kids. This as anti-tobacco groups rallied against the singer for using her image to sell products — which kill 200,000 people every year in that nation where more than 60 % of the population smokes.

On Wednesday, Kelly penned a statement to fans remarking that she was surprised to learn that billboards announcing her April 29 concert in Jakarta were being heavily promoted along the logo of the popular cigarette L.A. Lights.

“I think the hardest part of situations like this is getting personally attacked for something I was completely unaware of and being used as some kind of political pawn,” Clarkson charged, calling the debacle a “lose-lose situation.”

Despite her disappointment, the “Breakaway” star — who noted that she is not a smoker and does not advocate it — said it was too late to get out of the deal with tobacco brand and grudgingly stated that the show would go on with controversial sponsorship.

“I refuse to cancel on my fans,” she wrote in a posting on her blog.

Thanks to some work from her promoters — she won’t have to.

Promoter Adrie Subono has announced that his company has reached a “final agreement” with cigarette company Djarum, the maker of LA Lights, and the sponsorship had been cancelled.

“There will be no (LA Lights) media promotion at the Kelly Clarkson concert,” he told The Associated Press Thursday.

We have another pair of celebrities to add to the list of Hollywood mentionables — which already includes Coco-T and Scott Baio — who might want to consider taking a temporary timeout from Twitter.

We were all treated to a “TMI Moment” on Wednesday when Donald Faison (Turk of Scrubs fame) was snapped nude on toilet for a humiliating Twitpic that hit the blogosphere yesterday. Making an awkward moment even more uncomfortable, the pic was taken by none other than Donald’s girlfriend, The Price of Beauty’s CaCee Cobb!

Word is Donald and CaCee regularly use their Twitter accounts to lovingly poke fun at one another, but he must really love this little lady if he’s willing to forgive her for this!
