On tap for Lips and Ears.


Simon has a secret. Halle has one too. Joel and Benji are rock and mad. But at who?


Hi, Lips and Ears fans, I am Diane Macedo, in for Courtney Friel.


 


Up top, Simon Cowell looks to be hiding something juicy from us all. Dorothy, what’s the scoop 1?


 


Grumpy Simon Cowell is hiding a huge secret. He has a tender heart. Sources tell the inquirer the American Idol 2 judge rescued the 2004 winner Fantasia from being tossed out of her North Carolina home. Fantasia apparently 3 has fallen on hard times and was planning to sell her 1.3 million-dollar home to satisfy unpaid 4 loans. But Simon promised to help Fantasia take care of some of her debts. So the house wouldn’t have to go on the block. Our insider told us Simon wanted to keep his charitable deeds on the down low and prevent her from any further public embarrassment 5. What a nice guy!


I agree. Simon is a nice guy. I knew there is a soft side in there somewhere. Thanks, Dorothy.


Halle Berry looks like she is ready to bring another head turner into this world. Noah, what have you heard?


Hollywood is buzzing with speculation 6 that Halle Berry is pregnant after she was spotted 7 leaving a Westwood medical center on Jan. 26th. And Insider reveals Halle sought fertility treatments in late 2008. It has been hinting to pals 8 that she and her boyfriend Gabriel Aubry are expecting a sibling 9 for baby Nahla who turns one in March. It looks like this family is about to get even more beautiful.


Yes, Noah, that family is nothing short of gorgeous.


Good Charlotte rockers Joel and Benji Madden have been rocking Capitol Hill lately. Emily, what’s the Beltway buzz?


Joel and Benji Madden might be best known as the boy-toys of Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton respectively, or as rockers in the band Good Charlotte. Now the brothers can add another line to their resumes: lobbyists. 


The Maryland natives visited Washington this week to chat up lawmakers and raise the awareness 10 of so-called “conflict minerals”, similar to “conflict diamonds”, they are mined in Congo and used in devices like cell phones. There are feuling wars in central Africa and the Brothers Madden stormed Capitol Hill to help get the word out. Too bad, Benji’s ex Paris wasn’t successful in her presidential bid or their job might be a lot easier.
