Michelle Duggar Hospitalized, But Alright

Michelle Duggar of TLC’s18 Kids and Counting(she’s the one who gave birth to 18 kids with one on the way) was hospitalized, but is thankfully doing fine.

She was rushed to an Arkansas hospital after a scare regarding her pregnancy with Baby No. 19, not due until spring, but that ultimately wasn’t the reason.

"This weekend, Michelle Duggar was admitted to an Arkansas hospital," says a network rep. "The pain from a gallstone was generating some contractions."

"Just to be safe,she was airliftedto a Little Rock, Ark., hospital, so in the unlikely event that she had to be delivered early, she would be close to a NICU center."

Jim Bob and wife Michelle Duggar of TLC.

"Though there were some fears that the baby was in trouble, it soon was discovered to be solely the stone causing discomfort. Michelle is resting comfortably."

The baby is fine, and has a few more months until it joinsMichelle and Jim Bob Duggarand their brood of 18 kids who have to get by without mom for a bit.

Hey, at least their folks are still together. Cough,Jon Gosselin.

"Doctors want to observe Michelle in the hospital for the next couple of days," says the rep, "The hope is that any surgery can be delayed until after she delivers."

Get well soon, Michelle!

Ida Ljungqvist Responds to Lawsuit; Plays Victim

Reigning Playmate of the Year Ida Ljungqvist has filed legal papers that absolutely shred Katrina Kantner the woman suing Ida claims teamed up with her soontobe ex husband, Doug Kantner, in a scheme tosteal child supportfrom her kids.

Ida claims Katrina’s suit is a "transparent attempt to extort additional monies out of Doug" the Playmate says thefalse allegationshave "disrupted and diminished" her "ability to raise funds for … charities and philanthropic associations."

In short, Ida Ljungqvist says she’s being attacked because of her celeb status.

Ida Ljungqvist was crowned Playmate of the Year in May, taking over for Jayde Nicole and following in the hot (!) footsteps of models like Kara Monaco and Tiffany Fallon.

In a statement via his attorney,Joshua Lang, Ljungqvist’s estranged husband and a witness in this case, says he is staying clear of the situation:

"My client and his team are staying far away from this media junk campaign that is going on. Joshua R. Lang is far clear from this and does not want to be involved in any way shape or form … This situation is really pathetic, too say the least."

"He hopes [Ida Ljungqvist] and the parties involved can really work this out and hopes she will make the correct judgment as well as Mr. Kantner. Joshua has nothing against Mrs. Ljungqvist and hopes peace will prevail in the near future."

Sheryl Lowe Laura Boyce Playing Legal System, Meat Bugle

A new report from a prominent publicist appears to confirm, with surprising details, a theory that The Hollywood Gossip has espoused for some time:

Heather Mills sucks.

Parapluie, a PR company that used to rep Paul McCartney’s ex, says she made allegations about the music icon to the firm that they believe are lies.

Mills claimed, among other things, that McCartney was a drunk, drugabusing wife beater. Parapule, who is suing Mills for back fees, says that’s BS.

Legal documents state,Heather toldone of the publicists, "I could kill [Paul], last night, he tried to choke me. The marriage is over."Lies, they say.

The firm also claims it got Mills an offer to star on Celebrity Apprentice, but Mills would only accept the gig if Donald Trump guaranteed she’d win.

Trump denied her request.

Michael Ventrella Wins The Biggest Loser

Nicole Scherzinger mayhave wonDancing with the Stars, but no perfect score on any routine is as impressive as what Michael Ventrella accomplished this season onThe Biggest Loser.

The contestant first weighed in at 526 pounds this season, eventually shedding more than any player in show history and finishing his run at 262 pounds. It was more than enough to make him champion.

“I thought there was a glitch in the matrix!” said th 31year old from Chicago after he won the title. “I thought, ‘What is wrong with the monitor?’ I can’t believe this. I just proved no matter what it is, possibility or not, it can happen.”

This is Michael Ventrella BEFORE… andthis is Michael Ventrella AFTER.Wow.

Earlier in the night, Ventrella said:

"I knew going onto the ranch that I needed to save my life. The only way to do that was to bare all. I left everything I loved, everything I hated I had to get over it. I dedicated myself so much. I had to reach into a place inside of me I didn’t think existed. Even to this day, I don’t feel like I’m done yet. I’m going to keep going."

Amazing stuff. We wish Michael the best in his quest to remain happy and healthy.

Audrina Patridge Ready to Get Down n’ Dirty with PCD

Aside from the performance ofDavid Cook, one of the biggest revelations of last night’s episode of American Idol may not have taken place on stage.

Sitting right next to David Archuleta’s father in theAmerican Idolaudience was … wait for it … his girlfriend! Yes, the 17yearold is off the market!

After David Archuleta performed on American Idol Tuesday, he received generally positive comments from the judges while his dad and girlfriend looked on.

While millions of teenage girls may have had their hearts broken by this news, one woman is happy about it:Carly Smithson. She was by far the most hated person on American Idol this season before this news. Now she’s got competition!

Then again, David Archuleta is still ohsoyoung, and we’ve all seen in the past what the fame of American Idol does to preexisting relationships.

Our favorite,Carrie Underwood, broke up with her boyfriend after she won, while Anthony Fedorov broke up with a girlfriend publicly on the Internet after the show, Haley Scarnato called off her engagement, Bucky Covington got a divorce, etc.

Keep hope alive, David Archuleta lovers!

Rihanna’s New Neck Tattoo Hot or Not?

Rihanna left her New York City hotel on Wednesday with a special message:

rebelle fleur

The tattoo, visible in the photo below and to the left, means "rebellious flower." That basically sums her up, right? It goes along with a nice tattoo on the other side of her neck, which may be new as well (it’s hard to keep track ofRihanna tattoos).

Her most recent ink read "Never a Failure,Always a Lesson." At least she makes them unique. The singer took the stage in Connecticut last night, and performs at Madison Square Garden tonight, tats and all. What do you think of them?

What do you think of Rihanna’s new tattoos?

	HOT!
	Pretty cool.
	Pretty lame.

Amber, Gary and Leah make one big, happy family. Emphasis on .. forget it.

We actually haven’t heard much fromAmber Portwoodin recent weeks, which likely means she’s staying out of trouble and getting her $h!t together.

Well, maybe not, but let’s take a glasshalffull attitude in honor of her birthday, shall we? She could certainly use all the help she can get …
