Elisabeth Hasselbeck returned to The View today after her giving birth to her latest child Isaiah, and the topic of the day was a Hasselbeck nipple slip.

Hasselbeck showed a picture of Isaiah and told a panel about how she had sent out a photo of her and baby that also included the proverbial nip slip.

“You know when your baby smiles for the first time?” she said. “I reach for the iPhone — I had just been feeding him — and I took the photo. And he had this huge, huge smile and it was the cutest picture, so immediately I forward it to everyone on my family distribution list,” she said, rattling off a list of family members. “I get home and I open up the photo…No wonder why he is smiling, because my nipple is in the photo! It’s worse than drunk dialing to forward pictures post-partum.”

Sherri Shepherd rightly pointed out though that “It’s not sexual when you have a boob in the mouth!”

Lindsay Lohan’s fascination with dating women may be over with news that she has been spotted making out with actor Balthazar Getty.

According to reports, Lohan and Getty were spotted at 1:30 a.m. partying at the West Hollywood Voyeur night club locking tongues. Sources quoted by People Magazine claim that the two sneaked through the back door to avoid detection, and were “all over each other” at their table.

34 year old Balthazar Getty, who is still technically married to his wife Rosetta Millington, made headlines last year when he interrupted his marriage by hooking up with Sienna Miller. At the time Getty vowed to work harder on his marriage, although it would be fair to say that things didn’t work out for him there.

There’s also reports that Lohan also ended up in a verbal altercation at the nightclub when a waitress tried to take her drink. Lohan apparently flippedd, saying she was “not leaving yet” and would “finish her drink when she was ready.”

John Cleese is turning ‘A Fish Called Wanda’ into a musical.

The ‘Monty Python’ comic has revealed his plans to turn the 1988 comedy movie about a jewel heist – which he wrote and starred in alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline – into a stage production.

He said, “One thing I am doing which amuses me immensely is the musical version of ‘A Fish Called Wanda’.”

The 69-year-old star decided to turn his attention to the stage because he is bored of filming TV documentaries and sitcoms.

He is quoted as saying, “Unless you want to tie yourself up for five years, you basically can do interesting documentaries for which you don’t get paid. And it doesn’t make much sense doing comedy because once you’ve done ‘Monty Python’ and ‘Fawlty Towers’, almost anything you do people are always going to say, ‘Well, it’s alright but it’s not as good as that.’ ”

Earlier this month, Cleese kicked off his own stage show tour ‘A Ludicrous Evening with John Cleese… or How to Finance Your Divorce’, to fund his split from his third wife Alyce Eichelberger.

John, who was ordered to pay $20.40 million in the divorce settlement, returned to the theatre for the first time in four years and admitted he was furious he had to do it.

He said, “I get angry that I have to pack my trunk, just to go away to make money. That I, at my age, would have to plan my life anew to pay her all the money she is to get for the next seven years – well, it irritates me. I’d rather have been drinking coffee, reading books and writing. I can’t afford that now.”

The Law & Order franchise is known for its “ripped from the headlines” tagline and story structure, and hasn’t shied away from very contemporary true crime inspiration in the past.

Last week in Manhattan, the popular network drama caused a bit of a stir filming scenes for an episode about a fiery July 26th crash on New York’s Taconic Parkway. The disaster gripped local media because it took the lives of all but one in Diane Schuler’s packed minivan as well as three people in another vehicle. Eight people including Schuler died that day, with the sole survivor being her young son. Among the dead were Schuler’s children and three nieces. It was revealed soon after that Schuler was likely both drunk and high that morning.

Onlookers gathered at West 151st Street in Harlem near Adam Clayton Powell Blvd, and opined to the Post about whether the episode was in good taste. The violent and tragic deaths due to what was ostensibly a decision by one individual have deeply affected to New Yorkers, one of whom told the post it was “too soon,” and added, “those babies just died.” Others responded with a stereotypical New York laissez faire attitude:

But Harlem resident Juan Asuncion, 40, shruggingly said, “It’s probably way too soon to be doing this, but that’s the business these people are in.”

George Clooney has felt “lonely and incomplete” in relationships.

The 48-year-old actor who has dated a string of beautiful women, including Renee Zellweger, Kelly Preston and Lisa Snowdon – has struggled to find love, and hopes his new romance with Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis will last the distance.

George told Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper, “I’ve had some absolutely great relationships and some not so great relationships.

“I’ve been in some relationships where I’ve felt terribly alone. Just because you’re with someone it doesn’t mean you’re incredibly happy and complete.”

George insists ending relationships is no different when you are famous, although the intense scrutiny on his love-life can make things tough.

He explained, “I’ve had some easy and natural, made-sense break-ups as well as some rough ones. I deal with them the same way we all do: I’m successful with some and not so successful with others.

“I don’t think my experiences are any different than anybody else’s, they’ve just been amplified a little more.”

George also revealed he is content with his appearance, and has no problem with his greying hair and lined face – although in his mind he still looks like he did in his heyday.

He said, “I’m old. I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older.

“It’s an interesting thing to be able to watch yourself grow older on screen. I was watching ‘Up in the Air’ and I thought, ‘Jesus, who’s the old, grey-haired guy?’ And it was me.

“I never wear make-up for movies and now it’s starting to show.”

Stephen Gately’s Boyzone bandmates celebrated his life at a 12-hour, $73,300 wake on Saturday October 17.

Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Keith Duffy and Shane Lynch hosted the lavish bash at Dublin’s Four Seasons Hotel just hours after Gately’s emotional funeral.

The 400 guests, including fellow Irish boy band Westlife, Boyzone’s manager Louis Walsh, Jason Donovan and Sir Elton John’s partner David Furnish, raised tearful toasts to Stephen as they watched videos of his life.

A friend revealed, “The Boyzone guys joined in the toasting and all his close friends and family held up a glass or two to Stephen.

“It got even more emotional when videos and songs of Stephen’s career were played to guests – especially when ‘No Matter What’ was played.

“The guys from Westlife looked visibly upset. It was a great celebration of his life and his family were delighted. There were stories told late into the night, reminiscing about Stephen.”

The wake ended at 3am, when the last mourners stumbled out of the hotel.

As he was escorted to his black car, Boyzone singer Shane said, “We gave Stephen the farewell he deserved. We all deal with grief in our own way, and this was our way.

“It was a brilliant night, fitting for a brilliant person. We will never forget him.”

Stephen died of acute pulmonary oedema, a rapid build-up of fluid in the lungs, on October 10 at his home on the Spanish holiday island of Majorca.

His funeral was held at Dublin’s St Laurence O’Toole’s Church.

Meanwhile, Stephen’s family has reportedly decided not to contest his will, which will see $16 million left to his grieving civil partner Andrew Cowles.

Lindsay Lohan wants a restraining order against her father.

The ‘Mean Girls’ actress is reportedly “scared” by Michael Lohan’s behavior and is seeking legal action to stop him from contacting her.

A source told People, “Lindsay is actively getting a restraining order, her lawyer has already been contacted. She’s scared. This is really serious.”

This news comes a day after Michael, who has recently spoken out claiming the starlet has an addiction to prescription drugs, told gossip website X17 he wanted to “kidnap” his daughter and take her to an isolated location to help “get her straight”.

He said, “I’m going to see the judge this week. If I can’t get a conservatorship, then I’m going to take her to an undisclosed location and get her straight. But I know I’m gonna get charged with kidnapping.”

Meanwhile, Lindsay’s mother Dina has slammed her ex-husband for criticizing their daughter on TV.

The reality TV star, who divorced Michael in 2007, has spoken out about his parenting skills and says he should focus on being a father to their children instead of discussing their personal lives with the world.

She told People.com, “Michael Lohan needs to focus on being a parent, paying child support, of which he is six months behind, and making up for all the years he was an absentee dad. And stop going on national television talking about his children publicly.”

Kourtney Kardashian’s California home has been burgled.

The socialite who is pregnant with her first child, reportedly returned to her townhouse in Calabasas at 8.30pm on Saturday October 17, with her boyfriend Scott Disick to discover the building had been broken into and jewelery worth thousands of dollars was missing.

According to gossip website TMZ, Police have confirmed the 30-year-old beauty is missing a Cartier watch worth $30,000, Scott’s expensive Rolex timekeeper and several diamond-encrusted accessories, including hoop earrings.

It is believed some vintage jewelery items given to her by her late father Robert Kardashian, who died of cancer in September 2003 at age 59, have also been taken from her home, which is part of a gated community.

It is reported Kourtney and Scott left the building at 7pm to go out for dinner.

When they returned shortly afterwards, they apparently grew suspicious after noticing several drawers had been left open.

Kourtney is due to give birth to a son in December.
