R.Kelly fans (yes, they still exist) yelled at protesters outside the Cook County courthouse in Chicago this morning as the R&B singer arrived for a hearing to determine if a judge would grant another delay in the trial that has yet to take place even though the Kelly was arrested nearly six years ago on child pornography charges.
As it turns out, the judge ruled that jury selection may take place.
Next step: a May 16 hearing to decide whether to unseal court records.
Ellen DeGeneres tried to predict the sex of
Jessica Alba’s baby today on her Mother’s Day show by holding a ring over the star’s belly.
The result? Ellen says it’s a girl.
Evidently Miss Degeneres doesn’t read FYB. If she did, she’d know that Jessica confirmed she was expecting a little girl during her baby shower back in April!
Troubled singer Amy Winehouse was spotted looking distressed as she headed back to London today only to realize that she was being held up in a horrific motorway crash.
While the incident left stunned drivers looking shaken, Wino was seen scrounging around for a stress-relieving cigarette. No luck! After getting out of her car, she managed to find a driver who offered her a fag, and with no time to spare, Amy lit up straight away!!
The star seems to have fallen on troubled times again — her arm appeared to be covered in cuts and cigarette burns accompanied by a plaster on her hand.

Actress Nicollette Sheridan has left Wisteria Lane!
The Desperate Housewives has just purchased this Hidden Hills, CA estate from singer Melissa Etheridge.
Nicollette reportedly paid almost $ 5 million for the 6 bedroom, 6.5 bathroom country estate located at a secluded hilltop within the Hidden Hills gated community.

Coffee anyone?
Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted taking out daughter Harlow for a morning java run today in Glendale, CA.
Luckily, papa Joel was only clutching two cups of coffee. No caffeine rush for the little princess quite yet!
Meanwhile, it appears the happy family may no longer be calling L.A. home.
While Nicole hopes to raise the kids (all five of ‘em if her wishes come true) where she grew up, her babydaddy tells the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar that he thinks L.A. is a toxic environment to bring up children.
So, where does Joel want to bring up the young tots? Thailand, of course! (Where else?)

New bride
MARIAH CAREY showed off her admirable curves in a silver metallic
Roberto Cavalli mini dress as she performed at Time’s 100 Most Influential People in the World gala in New York City. Meanwhile, supermodel
HEIDI KLUM shined (quite literally!) in the same sexy number at Elton John’s Annual AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in Los Angeles.
WHO OWNS IT?

It was a
SATC reunion yesterday as Sarah
Jessica Parker, Chris Noth, Cynthia Nixon and
Kristin Davis all joined forces at a press conference for
Sex and the City: The Movie at the Mandarin Oriental hotel in Paris, France.
Is this yet another SATC slap in the face to the fifth castmember? (No, not Kim Cattrall – we’re talking about the Big Apple!!!) As if having the world premiere in London, followed by Berlin, before New York, isn’t painful enough?
From from her 3-month stint in rehab,
Kirsten Dunst was spotted back to work yesterday on the L.A. set of her upcoming movie.
Decked out in skinny jeans, a scoopneck tee, sandals and white-framed sunglasses, the rehabbed starlet looked healthy and happy when photogs caught up with her while filiming All Good Things.
Co-starring none other than Ryan Gosling, the Andrew Jarecki-directed movie is said to be a dramatic mystery about a detective who begins to unravel a missing persons case that gets deeper into a New York City real estate dynasty the further it goes.
Expect it to drop in theatres in early 2009.
An Olsen? In tennis shoes? Could it be?!?
A very casually dressed Ashley Olsen was spotted attending a meeting at the MGM Tower in Los Angeles yesterday.
Ashley recently made it to the top 40 on this year’s Maxim Hot 100 List while her more fashionable twin Mary-Kate was noticably left out.
So, is MK crying a river over not making the coveted list? Nah — Showtime recently threw her oversized hat into the ring as a potential Best Guest Actress nominee for this year’s Emmy Awards for her multi-episode stint on Weeds.
Brains over beauty!

Christina Milian, looking fresh-faced and happy, was seen dining with her mother/manager Carmen Milian at Sunset Plaza in West Hollywood yesterday.
The mother/daughter pair ate lunch outside at Le Petit Four restaurant on the sunny afternoon while Milian kept a close eye on her sidekick.
The singer once dated Nick Cannon, who just surprised everyone by tying the knot with Mariah Carey in a secret ceremony in the Bahamas. After dating Cannon for over three years starting in 2006, Miss Milian publicly accused him of cheating on her with multiple women.
We guess Mimi never got that memo!
