Playing Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy has moved Katherine Heigl out of the Hollywood background and into the spotlight. Yes, that’s where she belongs. But this weekend’s opening of Knocked Up will probably take the striking actress a level or two higher than that. Lots of people will flock to the Judd Apatow comedy. To prime yourself for Seth Rogan’s one night stand, spend a few minutes flipping through some sweet pics.

Nicole Richie has lost all
her pals to sobriety and the slammer, and now she’s worried that she
might be next. Earlier this week the DUI diva revealed to Ryan Seacrest on his radio show that she’s "nervous" about the possibility of prison,
but is ready to "take responsibility" for her actions. By actions, the pint-sized Simple Life star
means popping a bunch of pills and hauling down the highway in the
wrong direction.
Poor little Richie girl! Maybe prison would do the emaciated starlet well. I hear the food has calories there.

Nicky Hilton predictably has come to the defense of Paris regarding her sister’s jail sentence. Says Nicky:
"I think she should definitely be punished, but going to jail for a traffic violation is pretty absurd."
Says us:
Yeah, Nicky, because traffic violations, particularly of the DUI sort, don’t sometimes result in the loss of innocent lives. That is absurd. [People / Image credit: Getty]
John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston have announced that they want to try for a third child, which as set tongues wagging to the tune of, "Why? They need something new to mistreat?" Rumor has it that John refuses to acknowledge his 15-year-old son Jett‘s disability. The New York Post quotes a magazine editor who’s repeatedly interviewed John: "Travolta sits there in interviews talking about how Jett loves to read or play sports, but it is clear that the boy can barely do either." Jett’s problem is reportedly a one-two punch of autism and Scientology, which teaches that any sort of mental illness is curable with enough commitment to the religion.
If this is true: gross, gross, gross. Still, there’s a point that people may be overlooking: maybe Jett’s problem isn’t that he’s autistic. Maybe he’s an alien. You know how Scientology is. [New York Post / Image credit: Getty]

Courtney Love will take the stage at the House of Blues on Los Angeles’ storied Sunset Strip tonight, premiering material from her upcoming album Nobody’s Daughter. In the rehearsal video here, she sounds about as good as she ever did, and she’s looking even better — svelte, confident and manically subversive. It’s a far cry from her 2004 self, the one we had the pleasure of witnessing at the start of her last tour for America’s Sweetheart. Over 24 hours in Manhattan in March of 2004, Courtney had a very public, very rock ‘n’ roll meltdown, the sort which puts any of the anorexic peccadilloes of today’s demi-celebrities to shame. In short order, Courtney Love committed the following transgressions: She flashed David Letterman; let a man suckle her breast outside Wendy’s while posing for a photograph; beaned a litigious journalist with a microphone stand at a secret club show; got arrested; serenaded the street outside her New York City apartment; got naked on stage; and wore a tank top that read, in big, black letters, "Eat My F*ck." Publicist’s nightmare or pop junkie’s dream? Either way, it was fascinating. We’re just happy she’s back — and healthy.
The Police‘s reunion tour may have the same lifespan as a common housefly. On day two of the ’80s supergroup’s reunion tour, drummer Stewart Copeland — whose bust-ups with Sting are the stuff of rock mythology — has posted quite the complaint on his blog, titled "OUR FIRST DISASTER GIG!" Within the 700-word post, Copeland bemoans the band’s poor timing, calls the lute-wielding Sting a "petulant pansy" and labels updated versions of their hits "ubeLIEVably lame" [sic].
In other news, the band’s planning on participating in the resurrection of MTV Unplugged (if they make it) — a veritable petri dish for creativity that’s featured stunning acoustic performances by Jay-Z and Nirvana. Other acts confirmed for show include Bon Jovi, Mary J. Blige and John Mayer.
When you’re a super serious legal pundit you’ve got to keep your super serious side up all the time. Even when your pals are pulling a fast one on you. Evidently Ms. Grace doesn’t cotton to cheap celeb sensuality and barnyard procreation.
Every week we round up selections from the funniest, most obscene and brutal film criticism out there so that you know when to blow your cash at the theaters and laugh a little at Hollywood’s expense. This week: The hysterically funny insta-classic, Knocked Up.

"There’s no way pin-up-pretty Katherine Heigl would end up with soaked-in-bongwater Seth Rogen, not even while drunk on a gallon of Everclear and stoned on a field of your finest homegrown." – The Village Voice
"Most women, I imagine, will scoff with incredulity . . . Ben [Seth Rogen] is the last person [Katherine Heigl] would have chosen. Most men, meanwhile, will be too busy watching through their fingers. To them, this is The Omen." – The New Yorker
