Spied: Gwen & Gavin Wind It Up at Wimbledon
There’s no doubt Roger Federer had some serious star power on his side during Sunday’s Wimbledon finals.
But even with the support of “Sweet Escape” singer Gwen Stefani and her husband, Gavin Rossdale, the Swiss tennis ace still couldn’t, well, escape losing to Spain’s Rafael Nadal during the marathon match.
While Federer probably doesn’t consider his famous friends to be bad luck, we wouldn’t blame him if he secretly hopes they become too preoccupied with their soon-to-be newborn baby to attend next month’s U.S. Open.

Black Kids - Hurricane Jane Lyrics
Jane, I’ve made it plain,
although I’m faded as a ghost:
I want you here inside me.
Say the word.
Oh, you’ve been playing nice,
but I can see it in your eyes,
you’re thinking, “Christ.
He’s everybody’s girl.”
You can’t spend the night…
Jane, I’ve seen you at the club.
You were tearin’ up the rug
with no regard for form.
You’re such a brute!
You had a ready elbow
for the girls you hate
or just don’t know.
You head-butt me,
cos you thought it was cute.
You can’t spend the night…
Yes, I’m sure you’re right.
You can’t spend the night…
Yeah, I’m sure you’re right.
You can’t spend the night…
Yes, I’m sure you’re right.
But we could spend the night together.
Or alone. That would be better.
It’s Friday night and I ain’t got nobody.
Oh, what’s the use of making a bed?
I took something and it feels like karate;
it’s kicked me down and left me for dead.
It’s Friday night and I ain’t got nobody,
so what’s the use of pulling a shape?
I put what I want, when I want, in my body.
I’m never gonna give what I take.
Jane, I’ve seen the pain you’ve dealt.
You’ve been with all my friends.
You tell me guard my heart,
I might get hurt.
No doubt you’ll hurt my feelings,
and it’s a given I’ll be kneeling.
But I’m telling myself
that it’s gonna be worth it.

Royal Reward: Music to Kylie’s Ears
Here’s one honor Kylie Minogue no doubt can’t get out of her head.
The diminutive Aussie pop star was honored by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace Thursday, receiving an Order of the British Empire for her services to music.
“It is an incredible honor for me to receive this award,” she told the crowd and Prince Charles, who was filling in for mom Queen Elizabeth II at the ceremony.
“It makes me feel both humble and proud to be recognized for doing a job that I love so much.”
Minogue’s little sister and fellow pop princess, Dannii Minogue, was also on hand.
“It was surprisingly emotional,” the “Spinning Around” singer said afterward of her big day. “I expected to be a little nervous, obviously very excited, but it was very emotional seeing all these people from different walks of life joining together for this event.”
In addition to the 40-year-old Minogue, about a dozen other people received the honor.
The British OBE honor comes in the wake of another European laurel; earlier this year she received one of France’s top prizes, dubbed a Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters for the “cultural pleasure she has given French people.”
Enchanté, we’re sure.
French Have Fun With Brangelina
Who said the French don’t have a sense of humor? Well, OK, we have. Repeatedly. But it turns out we were wrong.
A due-any-minute woman staying in the same Nice hospital as Angelina Jolie flashed her belly to paparazzi through a suite window. She no doubt meant it as a joke“Any pregnant belly will do, oui?”
But the joke’s on the media for giving the French woman’s unborn fetus his/her 15 minutes of fame. How drôle. (No word on whether the man next to her is Jerry Lewis.)
