Voight thrilled for Jolie; JLo's kids need nanny; Ron Wood runs off with waitress
Tuesday, July 15, 2008

Grandpa Jon Voight is said to be "over the moon" about the latest two additions to daughter Angelina Jolie's brood.

By now everybody and their mommas know that she and her partner in love, Brad Pitt, had their babies, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, Saturday in Nice, France.

Mr. Voight, who is estranged from his baby girl, said this to The Insider Online: "It's magnificent. In this world, all we can hope for is that mommy and the kids are healthy. I'm very excited, and thanks for letting me send my love to them. If I were called today, I'd be there."


Since everybody's all abuzz about twins, we'll tell you about a National Enquirer article that says Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony are having trouble keeping nannies for their set, Max and Emme.

Reportedly, the last one left because it was just too hard to keep up with both tykes and the demanding schedule of 16-hour days, seven days a week.

JLo and Marc have worn out two caregivers and are looking for the third.


Is "Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes about to write Katherine Heigl's character, Izzie, out of the show?

You know we don't know.

However, E! online is reporting that Izzie might be going because Shonda feels like Katherine threw the show's writers under the you know what.

If you remember, Ms. Heigl took herself out of Emmy contention because she said she didn't feel the material for her character was all that good.

Oh, no, she didn't!

Anyway, Katherine probably wants to get off the show to pursue her film career, and it sounds like Shonda might be happy to oblige.


Instead of sitting down somewhere out of the spotlight, disgraced architect husband and father Peter Cook is giving interviews.

The soon-to-be-ex Mr. Christie Brinkley says he regrets the affair he had with an 18-year-old that broke up his marriage.

OK, Peter, we've already seen you, please go somewhere and sit down!


What happens to men when they get 40 and up? Do they just lose their natural minds?

Old, wrinkly, 61-year-old Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones has reportedly run off with an 18-year-old Russian cocktail waitress.

Ron was celebrating in a bar in April and met 18-year-old Ekaterina Ivanova, and apparently they hit it off, much to the chagrin of the musician's wife of 26 years and Ekaterina's boyfriend.

"You never think you are going to lose your gorgeous girlfriend to a wrinkly old man -- but that's exactly what happened," her boyfriend, Chris Kiely, told the UK Daily Mail.

He forgot to say rich wrinkly old man. That makes a difference!


Since we're talking about dalliances, before actor/oil heir Balthazar Getty issues another denial about his affair with Sienna Miller, he might want to check out the photos on the UK's Daily Mail online.

In the pics, the actress and her new married beau are sunning and romancing, topless.

Sienna is said to be looking for new digs in Hollywood to be closer to Balthazar.

His wife and mother of his four children is probably looking for a divorce attorney, if she doesn't already have one.


The GBB caught up with J.R. himself, actor Larry Hagman, who's in town for the U.S. Transplant Games.

Larry, who had a liver transplant in 1995, was at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center on Saturday, autographing his J.R. bucks and taking photos with folks.

He looks great.

"Eighteen people die every day waiting for an organ, and more than 18 people die every day and they take their organs to heaven with them. We need them here," he said. "You're not going to need them when you pass on, might as well give them away. Makes you feel good, too."

Believe it or not, it was the actor's first trip to Pittsburgh. We hope he'll come back.

Actor Ken Howard is scheduled to be here, too.


We just got our hands on "Life With My Sister Madonna" by her baby bro, Christopher Ciccone.

Everybody's been running excerpts, but we're looking for our own. Will let you know the good stuff when we find it.
