Cheeky Celebrity Chatter
by Lacey Savage

With spring heavily in the air and summer right around the corner, it's clear all that pollen permeating the atmosphere has gone straight to celebrities' heads, hearts and loins. Yes, fellow gossip junkies, we're talking sex, relationships, and the birth of "the world's most beautiful baby".

I'd be remiss if I didn't start this issue of Cheeky Celebrity Chatter with a Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes story. This time, the Mission Impossible franchise star isn't jumping on couches or lashing out at talk show hosts, but he is proving his love for the mother of his youngest child in a unique way. While attending the little league game of Cruise's son, Connor, the new parents were inseparable. They even had their bodyguards take them to the same bathroom, where, presumably, they used separate stalls. After their restroom jaunt, the two posed for pictures while walking hand-in-hand to their car. I only hope they took full advantage of the soap dispensers before leaving their lavatory love-nest...

Former UK Army Captain James Blunt made a stir in the music industry when his single, You're Beautiful, hit the charts. But despite all those fans, he's also had to deal with his share of critics. Well, now he's mad as hell and not going to take it anymore. In an unprecedented rebuttal, Blunt delivered the following message to "those bastards who don't like my music - you're all adults, you can switch your radio off. I don't have to listen to it, I'm the one who sings it… and it's continued to get me laid." I don't know about you, but I'll certainly sleep better at night knowing Blunt's getting some action...

It's been one paparazzi-filled child-rearing scandal after another for Britney Spears and her husband of 20 months, Kevin Federline, but through it all, they've at least shared the same bedroom. Not anymore, reports state. It seems pregnant Britney came home one day to find her husband lounging around with his friends, drinking and smoking dope. Britney has already told Kevin she hates having his friends around their eight-month old son, but now she's gone a step further and sent Kevin packing, too. Not far, mind you, but Kevin now has his own "bachelor pad" in their house: the basement of their California mansion. Wait a minute -- being contained to a secluded area of the house is supposed to prevent him from drinking and smoking dope with his friends? Britney's logic, as always, astounds me...

No one knows better than Changeling readers that sex can be a physically taxing experience, but model Janice Dickinson's description of her sex sessions with rocker Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones provides a new portrayal of the intimate act, even for us. She compared their sexual escapades to "boxing matches". Are you cringing yet? I'll let her explain further... "Mating with Mick for me was like a boxing match; the ring was my queen-sized mattress. He'd flip me over and then I'd flip him over - which wasn't hard because he only came up to my shoulders if we were standing. In the throes of passion, I thought about my ideal man - who was not Mick Jagger. My dream was a Jewish Jim Morrison; Mick was more like the Dutch Boy you see on paint cans ... He wasn't at all my type. But then again, it didn't matter - because he was Mick Jagger." I wonder if that's the argument Denise Richards uses to convince herself every time she has to hop into bed with middle-aged, overweight (and newly separated from Denise's former friend, Heather Locklear) Richie Sambora...

And yes, the wait is over! Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have welcomed a baby girl into the world. Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt (try saying that three times fast) was born in Namibia on May 27th. She joins brother Maddox, 4 1/2, and sister Zahara, 16 months. The girl's name, Shiloh (pronounced SHY-low) is Hebrew, and has various meanings, from "His gift" to "peaceful". The middle name is thought to be inspired by Pitt's favorite architect, Jean Nouvel. We wish the happy couple and their new bundle of joy a lifetime of happiness, though in Hollywood, that's usually the equivalent of a year or two...

That's all the news fit to print for this month. Check back for more celebrity gossip in the next issue of A Cheeky Changeling!
