What is it about Jerry O’Connell and twiiiiiiins that gets us so amped? Up until the other day, we figured that the twins JOC was most concerned with were in the front of Rebecca Romijn’s shirt.  But now, due to 9 months of magic and growth, those twins are loose and on display for the whole world to see. They’re out there, Jerry, and they’re loving every minute of it. This is something that we’ve been clamoring for since we can’t remember: to free the Romijn Two.

Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn have even gone and, according to Fametastic, named these twin beauties. Isn’t that the cutest? The pair is called Dolly Rebecca Rose and Charlie Tamara Tulip. We assume that Dolly is naturally after Dolly Parton and that Charlie is weirdly named after Jerry’s brother, Charlie O’Connell. That 1 must be a little different from her opposite number.

Rebecca Romijn had this to say of the situation, “Jerry and I want to be very hands-on. My mom’s coming to help us as much as we need.” We knew these 2 were a couple of wildcats, but who would have thought they needed parental help? We suppose that Rebecca Romijn’s mom probably has more experience with these sort of things and will really be able to give some good pointers to ensure everyone is safe, secure and properly stimulated. 

And let’s put to bed any notion that hormones were involved, these babies are all natural.

Congratulations to Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn, you take good care of those girls.

Note: We’re still impressed with Angelina Jolie’s twins and haven’t let these newcomers diminish that.

Our favorite concerned but woefully under-prepared debutante TV mom is having a hard time of it in real life. Not that we watch Gossip Girl, but we love Lily van der Woodsen. You may know Lily van der Woodsen as the graceful, capricious mother of Eric and Serena van der Woodsen, but in real life Kelly Rutherford is a sacrificing mom. In fact, she has breastfed her son Hermes until he was 2. First of all, that kid will always have nice scarves, which she can use to cover herself while she gives him his lunch in 4th grade. And secondly, she says that the breastfeeding keeps her thin, which is the opposite of what we’ve always heard.

But all of that is moot. According to iVillage, the actress is in a bit of a bind. She is both 3-month pregnant and in the midst of a divorce. Apparently her deal with husband Daniel Giersch was so broken that she would rather run the next 6 months on the solo tip than stay married to the rich German. She must be really mad about something. Notice that we assume that she’s really peeved about something but if he were to do the splitting we’d all just assume that he was an insensitive j-hole. Sweet double-standard, ya’ll.

On the divorce action, Kelly Rutherford used the old irreconcilable differences rationale. Which means either that she was sick of hearing about how he made all of his big money or she felt he wasn’t thoroughly enough impressed that she played a rich person on TV. Whatever the case, this baby is going to need a daddy. And it’s just too bad that Matthew Settle (Rufus Humphrey on Gossip Girl) is taken. They’d make a real nice real life couple. Hell, she’d be great with Sandy Peter Gallagher (play’s Rufus Humphrey’s analogue, Sandy Cohen, from The OC) but he’s been married since ‘83.

Any thoughts on who’s going to raise this baby? And is the irony lost on anyone that she married a really rich guy in real life and on TV? Is life imitating art, again? Let’s add her to the Padma Lakshmi Husband Drive and see what shakes out.

What the what? According to Bossip, Chris Breezy and RiRi may be on the way to man and wifey. Per a source (always a bad sign, the word “source,” especially when it’s from The Sun), Chris Brown hit Rihanna (the Barbadian beauty) with a bit of sparkle the size of a chicken egg on New Year’s Eve. Disturbia-ed?

Bossip is no fan of Rihanna and are more-or-less over the singing Pixie cut, yet we have a feeling that they sort of dig Chris Brown. So, it comes as no surprise that they think this is crazy puppy love on his part and a plot to stay relevant on hers. As we’ve discussed a few times before, staying relevant (i.e. selling records and concert tickets) is actually better accomplished by not getting married. Most recording artists (especially one’s known for their sex appeal) lose a little cache with the horny teen fan (and the real Britney Spears fans, 40-year old, perpetually single men) when they go off the market.



The Sun, though, does have some pics of her diamond clad ring finger, so the whole thing seems plausible. All of this despite the fact that they keep insisting that they’re just friends. “Just friends” sometimes eat late-night Taco Bell, “just friends” occasionally sing heartfelt duets (yeah, friends can listen to “Endless Love” in the dark) but “just friends” do not make out in swimming pools nor do “just friends” give each other engagement rings unless there is some skullduggery afoot.

We don’t care what anyone else says, these guys are shady and Chris Brown is in over his head. We are already sad for the day when Breezy says to himself, “Did I really get married when I was 19? I’m a huge star. Chicks dig me. What was I thinking, guy? Yeah, Rihanna is hot but she could be in it for the tracks, dude. And why have one 9, when I could have like 7 7s every night.”

Do you think Rihanna and Chris Brown will really get married? If so, do you think it will last? If it does last a while, any thoughts on album sales?

 We think the whole thing is shady times 5.

According to the New York Daily News, John Mayer was at an art show the other day. Shocking? It shouldn’t be, he seems like the kind of dude who would appreciate the company of Cindy Sherman. The crazy comes from the fact that the show was being put on by a favorite of ours, Pete Wentz. The Fall Out Boy front man (is he the bass player?) and husband of Ashlee Simpson put on some sort of show called “Without You I’m Just Me.” Poetic and profound, the showing was at Gallery1988 (the lucky bastards get to relive the tail-end of the Reagan years every day).

But it wasn’t all Manets, mayonnaise and malaise at the old art gallery. John Mayer and Pete Wentz may be down like 4 flat tires, but John Mayer is apparently not down with Pete’s sister in-law Jessica Simpson. As you may or may not remember, Mayer’s entre into the big leagues of celebrity boinking was with Jessica Simpson (fine, he dated Jennifer Love Hewitt first). So, per the New York Daily News, John Mayer decided to gracefully dodge (or dodge, dip, duck, dive and dodge) out of the scene before Tony Romo’s piece showed her sweet, Proactiv-cleansed face.

We’re trying our damnedest not to judge but isn’t that a little Holland (as in weird)? Haven’t they been A) split for mad years; and B) dating the Szechuan out of more famous, new people? This isn’t the time to head for the hills. This is the time to say, “Hey, I always thought you were pretty cool, have you met my new girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston? I’m sorry that the Cowboys didn’t make the playoffs, I think that TO guy could really use an attitude adjustment. I read on Perez Hilton that you were contemplating getting engaged. Congrats. Hey, I gotta go see a guy about a thing. It was great seeing you. If you ever need anything, give me a call. Me, you, Tony and Jen should get a house in Tuscany for a week or something. Don’t worry, Jen’ll pay for it. She’s cool like that. OK, have a good one.”

It’s seriously that easy.

Some of us are partway guilty of calling each and every celebrity ‘America’s Sweetheart.’ And maybe it’s because, when we think of them, each and every adorable celebrity is America’s Sweetheart, to us. Capiche?

Then let’s not mince words when wishing a warm congrats to America’s quirkiest Sweetheart Zooey Deschanel for her engagement to Death Cab For Cutie (DCFC) front man Ben Gibbard per Celebutopia. Evidently, his plan is to first possess her heart, middle step is TBD and then profit. It’s a classic plan and the first step can be accomplished as long as the first step is something that the practitioner truly believes in (i.e. underpants gnomes collect underpants on their way to profit, Death Cabs possess hearts as their first step toward profitability).

What do we know about DCFC? Next to nothing. We know that hipsters loved them, even if for only their name. But there seems to have been a backlash against them for going mainstream (though they probably just became popular doing the same old, same old that the hipster community loved them for). They even sold out (Madison Square Garden).

But we do know about Zooey Deschanel. One of our favorite things about Zooey D is her totally unambiguous spelling. Sometimes when people spell that name ‘Zoe’ or ‘Zoë,’ and you have no idea how to pronounce it. We’ve steered clear of Rachel Zoe for years because we were nervous we’d throw a wench [sic] into the works of her last name.

We also know that Zooey Deschanel is quirky. How do we know that? She’s engaged to be married to a guy from a band called Death Cab For Cutie. And secondly, have you seen any of her movies? She’s so quirky that the good people from True Blood hired an actress that looks almost identical to her (Lizzy Caplan) so the audience would immediately identify her as a quirky cat. So, if you’re looking for a monotone moper (with quirks) or a school teacher that plays by her own (quirky) rules, look no further than to the fiancé of Death Cab For Cutie lead singer Ben Gibbard. She (Zooey Deschanel) will do weird stuff for you.

Oh, and if you happen to see her fine quirk work in Failure To Launch, be sure to check out the bonus features to see some of the YourTango (from Tango magazine) staff discuss some real relationship-y issues.
