After 6 years on the show, Katherine Heigl could not be happier to leave Grey’s Anatomy!

Sources say that she’s almost out the door. Apparently, creator Shonda Rimes has agreed to let Heigl out of her contract, but it is up to ABC and Heigl’s reps to hash out an agreement.

She has already been gone for half the season to film a movie and spend some time with her adopted daughter. We can’t imagine anyone would miss her! Katherine was due back on set on March 1st, but she never showed up.

One source claims that the actress “was at home and ready to return to work.” Yet another “insists it’s much more complicated than that.” Talks between ABC and Heigl have become heated and both sides agree that they should not wait till the end of the season to get rid of Izzie.

Considering that she is not returning to the Grey’s set, her episode has already aired!

LAME!

How do U think they should have booted her?!

Ask, and you shall receive!!

DMX was arrested on Tuesday for using illegal drugs and violating the terms of his probation, so like any proper famewhore, he used it as an excuse to reach out to Dr. Drew and try to land himself on the next season of Celebrity Rehab!!

Well, the reps from the reality show have contacted the rapper, and are considering sending someone to his next court hearing to speak with the judge about being placed in their care instead of facing jail time. Apparently that’s how they snagged Jessica Sierra way back when!!

Crazy crazy.

What do U think?? Should DMX go to Celebrity Rehab or go to jail??

Spanish actress Paz Vega and her husband Orson Salazar are expecting their third child in September, the Spanglish star reveals to Hola! magazine.

And while the couple — already parents to Orson, 2 ½, and Ava, 7 ½ months — always planned to expand their family even further, they admit the news came as a shock.

“It’s a surprise,” Paz says. “This baby came a bit soon, but we’re thrilled and happy.”

Thirteen weeks into the pregnancy and doing great, Paz, 34, was hesitant to go public with the news until she had completed her first trimester safely. “Ava’s birth was very recent and I have had two c-sections,” she explains.

With months still to go before the new baby arrives, Paz and Orson are already searching for names — preferably for boys!

“Orson prefers a boy,” the expectant mama shares. “Personally I have always liked boys, but if it’s a girl, marvelous, because I was raised among women.”

So that is why Spencer Pratt keeps carrying around a big rock!

Gotta say, kind of relieved! For awhile, we were convinced he was carrying it around just so he could throw it at Lauren Conrad’s should they cross paths again! That would have gotten him on every tabloid cover for at least two weeks!

Meet Aiden Chase. He is a Healer, an Intuitive and now, he is Heidi Montag’s new representation! Heidi has hired him to be her new manager as she takes her sewn up face into new horizons.

Won’t lie, we detect a case of the gayface going on here and while we think he’s a little wacky/sweet, we can’t but wonder…

What would Jesus have to say about all this???

Ryan Phillippe knows how to kill someone. I mean even walking out of the Neil George  Salon in Beverly Hills  he looks good.  He is spotted walking out of the place and is reeking of hotness, I said hotness. I don’t want to see any negative comments about that. We all know that he’s hot. And he must know that too.

I have never seen Mad Men before. I know, I must live under a rock then. But if they have there own set of Barbie dolls that are $74.95 and are from Mattel. You know the quality would be good then, right?

I think maybe I missed out on the boat and should have watched this show. Do you think you will be buying them?

Having a parent in the public eye certainly brings about its fair share of perks. For Matt Damon’s daughters, having a famous dad recently meant a once-in-a-lifetime meeting with Nelson Mandela.

“That was one of the great thrills of my life,” the actor raves during a recent appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.

While in Africa filming his latest movie Invictus, Matt and his wife Luciana were approached about a possible get-together with the former South African president. “They said, ‘Madiba is going to be nearby and we could go see him,” he recalls.

The couple initially turned down the offer. “My wife and I said, ‘You know what, we would rather give him the gift of five minutes where he doesn’t have to take a picture and make small talk with somebody,’” he admits.

Insisting that he was up for the visit, the Damons’ excitement quickly turned to shock when it was suggested they bring along their three girls as well.

“So we did … it was amazing to watch him,” he marvels. “Lucy and I didn’t even talk to him, we just let him hang out with the kids. He bounced them on his knee.”

Noting that it was “great to watch the kids get that they were in the presence” of Mandela, the actor was struck by then 2-year-old Isabella’s insight minutes prior to the special occasion.

“We were standing outside waiting for security to invite us into the hotel room and I was holding her,” he shares. “Whether it was my heart beat or something she just figured out. She turned and looked at the door and then she looked at me and said, ‘Daddy, who’s behind that door?’”

And while Alexia, 11, was a bit more aware of the importance — having just completed a “mini-course” on Mandela when a few of her classmates joined her in Africa — Matt’s two younger daughters were equally mesmerized.

“[Isabella] and [Gia Zavala] couldn’t take their eyes off him. They just were looking at each other, completely locked on each other the entire time.”

Although Angel Iris, 2 ½ , was the first in the family to rock the edgy hairstyle — here she is with her full-on mohawk last summer — mom Melanie Brown and big sis Phoenix Chi, 11, are now on board as well.

On Tuesday, we spotted the former Spice Girl and her eldest daughter — plus their matching side-shaved haircuts — at the opening night of musical CATS in Hollywood.

Melanie also showed off her new hairstyle while out shopping with her youngest on Feb. 22 in Los Angeles.

Backpack! Backpack! If those two words bring a smile to your child’s face — and conjure up images of knick knacks for you –  then chances are your family is well-versed in Dora the Explorer.

The hit Nickelodeon show is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and to mark the occasion celebrity parents like Salma Hayek and Slash have signed on to “Beyond the Backpack.”

A multi-year, multi-platform program, Beyond the Backpack stresses the importance of overall school readiness. By partnering with the Children’s Defense Fund and the National Parent Teacher Association (PTA), an advisory committee will assist preschoolers, their parents and their educators through a website which features downloadable content and tool kits, community events, financial resources and grants, fundraisers and more.

Objectives include social skills building, fostering emotional intelligence, strengthening early literacy and improving math skills.

Salma — mom to Valentina Paloma, 2 — recently filmed Beyond the Backpack’s first PSA alongside Dora, herself. She and Slash — dad to London Emilio, 8 and Cash Anthony, 5 — have also designed limited-edition, Dora-themed backpacks which will be auctioned off this summer around the globe, in countries including the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Canada, Spain, The Netherlands, Greece, Australia, New Zealand and Israel.

All proceeds from the domestic auction will benefit The Children’s Defense Fund, while all international proceeds will go directly to early childhood education in their respective countries.

For 35 years, the Children’s Defense Fund has worked to ensure a level playing field for all children by championing policies and programs that lift children out of poverty, protect them from abuse and neglect and ensure their access to health care, quality education, and a moral and spiritual foundation.

A non-profit advocacy group, the Children’s Defense Fund is supported by foundation and corporate grants as well as individual donations. Click here to learn how else you can help.
