Its nice to be a young child that gets chosen to have Angelina Jolie as their mommy. It means shopping, lots of shopping, and later in life, it will mean women, lots of women. Trust me, one day when Maddox is visiting those college bars at LSU, having Angelina as your mom will be the coolest name-drop ever. It will also be a panty dropper. If Maddox is smart, he will just stay down on the Bayou and avoid LA at all cost. These are pictures of the loving mother-son duo shopping in New Orleans this weekend. I wonder if Maddox will ever get to see his gandpa?

Look who we have here. Camilla Belle and Robert Pattinson wrapping up lunch in Venice Beach, California. I wonder what else Robert was wrapping up later? Oh, I know, Ok, allow me to explain. Camilla and Robert star in Twilight together. Camilla is dating Joe Jonas and even has a promise ring from him. Ha! A lot of good the promise ring did! Looks like the old lead actor and starlett theory holds water, even if its not holy water.

Living up to her material girl ways for her new beau, Alex Rodriguez, the couple has been said to be shopping for a $60 million dollar mansion in New York City. Talk about wanting to be in love and humble! That’s a lot of Oprah schools that Madonna could be opening in Africa, instead she chooses to live the lavish. One day its one thing, the next another! Looks like the homewrecking couple is going to have a very nice home.

More from Page Six.

A knowledgeable real estate source tells us the kabbalah-crazed pop queen and the skirt-chasing power hitter are “discreetly looking at properties between Fifth and Park avenues, from just above 60th Street through the 80s.
“Madonna personally came to look at one house a couple of months ago, and Alex has been looking recently,” the insider said. “We’re talking about private, double-width mansions in the vicinity of $30 million to $60 million.”
Madge and A-Rod are also interested in scoring a house “with a garage that you can drive into for additional privacy - although those are rare and hard to come by,” our spy added. Another source said they were also looking in the Hamptons.

I’d say they can go ahead and pass go.

Or so it would seem. Man oh man, looks who’s back with sass and hotness. This makes me feel so very 2000 again. Britney Spears is 27 today, but somehow her body managed to revert back to age 22. These are shots from her birthday celebration concert on Good Morning America. Also below the thumbnails, you will find the video of it. We are stocked full of Britney Spears and her new abs this morning, you gotta love it! Her new CD, Circus, also hit the stands today.

More Britney Spears pictures and video.

Ginger Spice, also known as Geri Halliwell, had a fashion emergency on the red carpet of the children’s event, BAFTA. Basically, she wasn’t wearing panties. Um, yeah.

FAIL.

Who doesn’t wear underwear to children’s events? Other than priest? Come on Ginger, time to get with things….

And no you pervs, I don’t have the shots. But here are some pictures anyways…

This story is just weird. So this Nancy Jarecki broad has a line of products for dying your pubes, which isn’t so strange, however, the fact that she tells the media who her buyers are is really strange. I would even say, bad for business. Could you imagine if the asian massage parlors disclosed their client list? Man would I be….I mean, would certain people be mad. From Page Six.

It’s not just women who are interested in matching the carpet to the drapes: Jarecki says so many men have bought the product that she plans to launch a “Betty for Men” line early next year. “I guess man-scaping for guys is really big these days,” she says, adding that she recently sent the entire assortment of colors to noted waxing enthusiast Diddy and got back a thank-you note from his assistant.
A Betty spokesperson adds that “Law & Order” brunette Mariska Hargitay, country singer Vince Gill, Jack Black and Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor also use the product.

And with that, I am kind of grossed out. I really don’t want to spend too much of this morning discussing Ben Stiller’s pubes, however, shouldn’t he be man-scaping? I guess some of these guys missed the memo that went out 5 years ago.

Tina Fey is speaking out about her Sarah Palin impressions. She saying her and the writers were not being mean-spirited, yet only using things that Palin herself said and did. Here is more of what Tina told Barbara Walters.

Voted one of Barbara Walters “10 Most Fascinating People of 2008,” Tina told Babs: “I never did feel that we were mean to her. We stuck to a lot of things that she herself had said, and I think there is a very strange double standard because it’s a woman portraying another woman. The jokes we used to do about George W. Bush were that he was an idiot. The jokes were aggressive. No one would ever stop and say, ‘Oh, that seems kind of mean.’ “

So anyways, I would really like to sleep with Tina Fey doing her Sarah Palin impression. I think this would be the ultimate love fest, beyond even that of making love at Hooters. Yes, I am serious, hard to believe I know, but totally true. One thing stands out to me though, if women are equal, why do they never pay the tab at Applebees when I take them out?

James Franco and Sean Penn are doing a movie together, and if Sean Penn had it his way, they’d also be doing…each other. The new movie is titled Milk, its about gay activist Harvey Milk. Read more dirt on Page 6.

“In the original script I read, there was only one real kissing scene,” Franco tells next month’s Elle. “A month after [director] Gus [Van Sant] asked me to do it, they sent me another script, and on Page 5 there was a full-on love scene. And I was like, ‘Gus, what the heck?’ He says, ‘Well, it was Sean’s idea.’ “

Ok, talk about getting deep into character by getting deep into …. Yeah, that’s where I stop and don’t ruin an already crappy Monday. All the same, it appears that Sean Penn is a really serious actor.

You can catch the Pussycat Dolls performing at staple West Hollywood club The Viper Room over the next few weeks, but it seems their launch last week boogied off on a bad note and was a little more diva-like then it was dance-like.

The burlesque-inspired troupe performed just one song (their current hit “When I Grow Up”) and immediately after we’re told lead doll Nicole Scherzinger ran off stage in a huff. According to an inside source, Scherzinger’s pals made comments about her performance and the sound being off and she immediately gave the sound manager her two cents worth.

“It’s one of her pet peeves,” a pal told Tarts. “The sound guy then got upset with a coordinator at the venue and a full fist fight later broke out.” Ouch.

Reps for The Viper Room and Scherzinger did not respond for comment.

Even though the songstresses are known internationally for their super sexy style and for getting down and dirty singing such things as “Girl, there ain’t no pain in me looking at your …” and “I know I’m on your mind, I know we’d have a good time…” it seems they are attracting a particularly young following.

“We look out at the audience and all these little girls know the song and their singing and their dancing. We even have had little girls come back stage and tell us their stories about how they’ve been inspired by us and helped them get through,” member Jessica Sutta recently said while promoting their new album “Doll Domination”.

Scherzinger added they are “so proud” of their super-young fan base.

“We’re girls just like everyone else who had a dream. When we grew up we wanted to sing and we wanted to do this. We followed our hearts and we worked really hard for it and when you say that we’ve grown stronger and the strength comes from confidence,” she said.

We always knew Geri “Ginger Spice” Halliwell was cheeky, but we just weren’t aware quite how cheeky as the sexy songstress left very little to the imagination while attending the BAFTA British Academy Children’s Awards in London over the weekend.

From the front Halliwell appeared every inch the prim and proper pop princess with her soft curls and ruffled red dress, but the backside was another story. Thanks to a gust of wind while posing for pics on the red carpet, the 36-year-old exposed her bare bottom at the otherwise family-friendly event.

According to an eyewitness, quite a commotion was made among the photogs but the mama did her best to brush it off and scurried inside to schmooze with the likes of Sienna Miller and Keira Knightly (who arrived together) as well as Gemma Arterton and Danni Minogue.

FALL Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz may have been embarrassed by the nude photos of him that surfaced back in 2006, but they ultimately landed him a nice consolation prize: wife Ashlee Simpson. “She just called me up and made me feel a lot better,” he tells Details. (Simpson herself had just gone through a public shaming for her disastrous “Saturday Night Live” performance.) Wentz admits that getting Simpson pregnant was a “happy accident,” and she had to e-mail him a picture of the pregnancy test to make it sink in.

PARAMOUNT Vantage is off to a bad start hyping its expensive Leonardo DiCaprio-Kate Winslet flick, “Revolutionary Road,” as an Oscar contender. On Monday, the studio so overbooked an industry screening at the AMC Loews 34th Street - featuring a live Q&A with Leo and Kate - that nearly 200 were turned away, one movie honcho told us. Those kept out included members of guilds representing actors, writers and producers, and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, some of whom vote for Oscar nominees. “Scott Rudin, who produced, is always very respectful of industry members, so he’s got to be furious about this. It can’t help the film’s chances,” our insider said. A studio rep told us: “Guild screenings are traditionally overbooked to account for drop-off . . . We look forward to showing it at a later date to those who missed it.” The R-rated movie opens Dec. 26.

JESSICA Simpson wants to head off to college to study theology - and watching TV was her inspiration. “I’ve been contemplating taking a college course in religion,” the bubblehead told Marie Claire. “I love religion. I remember whenever the book ‘The Da Vinci Code’ came out, the Discovery Channel did this three-night piece on it that I TiVoed and then watched eight times.” We just hope someone advises her not to include that bit in her application letter.

Tom Hanks wants to attend President-elect Barack Obama’s inauguration even if he doesn’t get a front-row seat. Or any seat at all.

“Look, I’ll be in the back,” the 52-year-old Oscar winner said backstage Tuesday night at a benefit for the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. “I’ll sit on the Lincoln steps and just watch it from the distance on a Jumbotron. I’ve never been to anything like that, and - finally - a guy I voted for won. That hasn’t happened most of my life.”

Hanks posted a video pledging his support for Obama on MySpace last May. In the video, Hanks said he was backing Obama because of his “character and vision, and the high road he has taken during this campaign.” Hanks also said Obama “has the integrity and the inspiration to unify us, as did FDR and Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy and even Ronald Reagan when they ran for the job.”

Hank’s wife, Rita Wilson, echoed her husband’s sentiment before the pair joined a star-studded cast - which included Annette Bening, William Shatner, Martin Short, James Cromwell and Alicia Silverstone - for a one-time only performance of the Pulitzer-prize-winning play “You Can’t Take It With You” at UCLA’s Royce Hall.

However, Wilson had a different viewing spot in mind for Jan. 20.

“I think we’re going to get a kayak and go into the National Mall waters,” she joked.

Eviction notice ‘none of your business,’ NeNe Leakes writes

NeNe Leakes, the breakout star of the hit Bravo reality show “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” is no longer living at the pricey Duluth five-bedroom residence shown on the series.

According to Darryl Pierce, the broker for the 5,000-square-foot home at 1765 Silvermere Court in Duluth, NeNe and her husband, Gregory Leakes, left in November after Winwood Properties filed an eviction notice in September.

The notice, filed Sept. 24 with the Magistrate Court of Gwinnett County, said Greg Leakes owed $6,240 in past due rent. “The tenant said they would move by Sept. 14th because they could no longer afford the house,” the notice said.

The owner of the home, Kajani Shenaz Ali, lives overseas, Pierce said. Online records show the home in the gated community of Stonebrier at Sugarloaf, was purchased for $829,400 in September 2006. Pierce said the Leakeses moved into the home shortly after it was built in 2006.

NeNe Leakes, in a series of e-mails Tuesday, would not say where she is living now. “It’s none of your business,” she wrote. But she noted that they “are financial able [sic] and stable to live where ever we feel fits.”

NeNe, 41, wrote that the eviction notice does not have her name on it, adding “you don’t know my relationship with Greg so be careful what you report!”

The Duluth home, she wrote in an e-mail late last week, “was a lease purchase corporate deal with Greg & his company. Things didn’t work out between the two of them so they did what they had to do and he did what he had to do.”

On Tuesday, she wrote, “If we rent, lease purchase or buy, money is still coming out of my pocket. So who’s [sic] business is that??”

Gregory, 54, couldn’t be reached for comment. The TV show called him a real estate investor. The only business the AJC could find under his name in Georgia is called Advantage Move LLC. The phone number listed for Advantage Move has been disconnected.

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” in its first season, became a watercooler show packed with jealousy, petty arguments and conspicuous spending. It averaged 1.3 million viewers over seven episodes, the biggest freshman series for the Bravo cable network since “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” in 2003.

Bravo spokeswoman Rachelle Savoia said, “We don’t comment on the personal lives of our talent.”

NeNe has been featured in Entertainment Weekly and TV Guide, lauded by fans for her honesty and her sense of humor. The show’s ratings climbed steadily during its brief run, culminating in a fiery reunion episode, which aired Nov. 25 and drew 2.8 million viewers. That’s more than any “Real Housewives” episode, including versions in Orange County, Calif., and New York City.
