The Boys are Back
The trifecta of hotness; Matt Damon, George Clooney and Brad Pitt, are pulling heists again -- this time with a new recruit.
"Ocean's 13" finds the trio and their band of robbers teamed with nemesis Terry Benedict (Andy Garcia) to take on a new bad boy -- played by the one and only Al Pacino. Ellen Barkin fills the estrogen quota, replacing Julia Roberts and Catherine Zeta-Jones as the film's leading lady.
The movie opens June 8 ... here's the trailer.
Hottest Videos -- Week of 12/10
Yippee! Angelina and Brad are back in America. Brangelina was caught in a rare PDA at the party for "The Good Shepard." Welcome back, gorgeous ones.
Britney's new spit-swapping partner has been added to the TMZ roster of Hyde celebrities. Get ready to see more of this multi-platinum record producer if he keeps locking lips with Brit.
The Weasel is really hurting for publicity, so much so, that according to the Odessa, Texas Police Department, video of him getting punched on stage was a fake. Poor Pauly... that's just sad.
Angelina Shoots Down Stork Rumors
Jolie wants the world to know she's not pregnant, but it doesn't mean the Brangelina family is complete.
Though speculation has been swirling that Angelina Jolie has another gorgeous bun in the oven, the stunning actress joked with Diane Sawyer that if it were true, "I shouldn't have been drinking wine last night." She added, "No, we're not. I'm on the pill." Probably a little TMI, Angelina.
She adds that the globetrotting supercouple will probably adopt a third child before having a second biological one.
Jolie also gushed over Brad saying, "He's just a really great partner, a great man." Yeah, easy on the eyes too.

Brangelina Gets Physical
Even though Angelina Jolie has made it clear that she's no fan of PDA, her actions tell another story. TMZ cameras caught Brangelina arriving hand-in-hand at the after party for "The Good Shepherd," and it looked like neither one wanted to let go. Also showing up for the all-star event were Matt Damon and Robert De Niro.
Later that night at Butter were rap mogul Jay-Z, Heiress Paris Hilton, Elisha Cuthbert, Val Kilmer and Tyson Beckford -- who looked pretty badass on his bike.
Meanwhile, on the left coast, Janice Dickinson and Orlando Jones showed some TMZ love at a Hollywood party for a new Ed Hardy clothing line. Also seen: John Salley and Eric Mabius of "Ugly Betty." Tony Rock (Chris' brother) saw our cameras at the party and said he knew it was time to go! The nerve!

Dearest Mom or Mommie Dearest?
Hollywood mothers and daughters share a very special bond. Star moms are usually very particular about the way they raise their daughters, especially because they know the trials and tribulations their child will have to overcome from growing up in the spotlight. This sometimes forces that mother-daughter connection to grow stronger... but not always.
Sometimes money and attention interfere with the love, leaving only feuding and heartache. Here's a loving little look at some of Tinseltown's more famous celeb moms and their female offspring.
Like Father, Like Son
Having a famous father definitely has its perks. These are the kids who get to go to movie premieres, travel to exotic locations for film shoots, and can even be spotted on the red carpet during awards season.
But the best thing these kids get -- their daddy's good genes. Will Smith's kids could pass for a mini-version of the superstar, and while Maddox Jolie-Pitt may not look like adoptive dad Brad, it's hard to deny there's a family resemblance.
Take a look at some of the luckiest kids in Hollywood and their proud papas ... and here's hoping Barron Trump doesn't inherit his dad's unfortunate coif.

Brangelina's Wild Ride in Vietnam
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie traded turkey for pho yesterday as they made a surprise visit to the capital city of Vietnam. But the parents of three –- and no doubt more – made things a little more interesting by cruising around Ho Chi Minh City on a motorbike, but sans protective headgear, if this photo is to be believed.
The couple swooped into Vietnam after a visit last week to Cambodia, where their adopted son Maddox was born. After their two-wheeled tour of the city, Brangelina dined on the native cuisine at a popular restaurant converted from an old temple. When asked by a reporter from a local newspaper about navigating the crazy streets of the old Saigon, Pitt replied, "There will be no problem."
Foxy Brown Bitches Out, Disses Jay-Z
Foxy Brown, never the world's foremost diplomat, burned bridges with her old record label (and its powerful honchos) during a recent radio interview and then got so obnoxious with her hosts that they had her tossed out of the studio. Page Six reports that during an interview with Power 105.1 radio in New York, the sassy rapper wouldn't acknowledge that she'd been dropped by Island/Def Jam records or that Jay-Z was upset over her lack of productivity in the studio. Upon further questioning, Brown blurted out, "What people don't know is that I initiated Def Jam ... they could never drop me. I am a multiplatinum artist." Then, when asked about the manicurist-assaulting charges on which she was convicted, Brown balked – and host Egypt wasn't having any more of Brown's 'tude, and threw her out of the studio.
Famous Kazakh to Borat: "I Like!"
Finally there's someone from Kazakhstan who actually likes Borat. A leading writer, Sapabek Asip-uly, has nominated actor and "Borat" creator Sacha Baron Cohen for a national award on Thursday, saying that the goofy, mustachioed fake-journalist has "managed to spark an immense interest of the whole world in Kazakhstan, something our authorities could not do during the years of independence." (Our thoughts exactly, Mr. Asip-uly.) And the novelist adds that if state officials can't laugh at themselves (and the fermented horse urine they drink and the young women they force into prostitution in their early teens, as Borat would say), then Kazakhstan "becomes a laughing stock."
Party Favors: Klum Child Has Enough Names for Entire Jolie-Pitt Family ... Brando Eats Powdered WHAT? ... Leo's Mom Stil Loves Gisele
Heidi Klum gave birth to her second son with singer Seal, a tot named Johan Riley Fyodor Taiwo Samuel, on Tuesday, reports Planet Gossip's Marc Malkin. According to Klum's official website, the baby was 8 lbs 11 ounces, and is "healthy, beautiful, and looks just like his mother." ... Charlie Sheen is auctioning off a letter Marlon Brando sent to him when Brando had to miss his 26th birthday party, and it's a doozy, reports Ben Widdicombe. "I'm feeling like a very large turd on a very thin stick ... I'm holed up in bed and taking everything from sled dog urine to powdered East Indian vulva." Even from the grave, Brando manages to shock ... Leonardo DiCaprio may have moved on from Gisele Bundchen, but his mom, if Page Six is to be believed, has not. After the Victoria's Secret show in L.A., Mrs. D and Gisele walked a dog the ex-couple shared.

Brangelina -- Josephine Baker Wannabes?
How many children will be adopted by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt? If they continue in the footsteps of famed humanitarian and sex icon Josephine Baker, they might take on an entire tribe.
The similarities between Brangelina and Baker are uncanny. Baker adopted a dozen multi-racial children and invented radical chic; Brangelina may end up adopting a dozen as well. They can afford it, Josephine couldn't ... but it didn't stop her. A princess came to her rescue.
Like Brangelina, Baker was fabulous, political, radical, chic, outrageous and controversial. This was a new kind of celebrity at that time; sexualized, outspoken, activist. The Pitt-Jolie union is all of those things as well. Here's a parallel portrait of the original diva activist, measured side by side with activists Jolie and Pitt.
Brad & Angie Don't Use Protection
Pitt and Jolie are involved in some high risk behavior -- meandering through Mumbai without a security detail.
The couple, along with children Zahara and Maddox, took a motorboat around a harbor in the Indian city, leaving baby Shiloh and British bodyguards at their temporary home.
Angie's security guards caused a stir last week when they were arrested and briefly jailed for allegedly roughing up parents and students at a school where Jolie was filming scenes for "A Mighty Heart." Her guards reportedly called the people of Mumbai "bloody Indians" and "bloody Muslims" during the standoff, though Pitt has since denied the statements were made.

Stars and the Party Schools They Rocked
What's the use of going to college if you can't completely waste four (or more) years of your life on cheap beer, cheaper sex, and free condoms?
Well, according to the resident analysts at CollegeHumor.com, not very much. The ribald comedy site employed a rigorously absurdist methodology to produce its very first ranking of the colleges where students can, in its own parlance, have "the most fun while putting forth the least effort."
No doubt the famous alumni and attendees of Michigan State University -- like James Caan, and Angelina Jolie and Christina Aguilera, who took correspondence classes there -- will be thrilled to hear that they've landed right at the top, with the most compelling mix of low SAT scores, late bar-closing times, and Greek-system density (among many other factors) amongst the fifty schools surveyed.
Big Ten schools did marvelously on the whole, with nine of its member colleges placing in the top 20 of the CollegeHumor rankings, meaning that such notable alums as Madonna (U. of Michigan), Kevin Kline (Indiana U.), and Ashton Kutcher (Iowa) were privy to some of the finest college-life available to young Americans, even if it was a few years ago. Will Ferrell's beloved University of Southern California apparently isn't a total hotbed of salacity, as it came in 34th.

Jolie's Bodyguards Thrown Behind Bars
Looks like Angelina's protectors do their job ... a little too well.
Police in India arrested three of the star's bodyguards today, for allegedly roughing up parents and students at a school where Jolie was filming scenes for "A Mighty Heart." Her guards also caused controversy by reportedly calling the people of Mumbai "bloody Indians" and "bloody Muslims" during the standoff.
Though the ruffians were jailed, they were eventually released on bail and asked not to leave the country for a week, and to report to the local police office every day. If convicted, they could be jailed for up to three years!
Since arriving in India, Angie's bodyguards have had a string of run-ins with locals and paparazzi. An AP photographer alleged he was threatened with a gun, and another photographer was choked by a member of her entourage.
Protection is hard work ... in this case, it could lead to hard time.
