Charlize and Stuart: No One Is More in Love
Could Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend be any more sickeningly in love?
The blond beauty says the ring he gave her isn’t an engagement number, but more of an ongoing love note.
“It was a Victorian thing,” Theron says in the new issue of Elle UK. “You put in a lock of hair or a little note to remind you of your loved one…Every time I go away he puts in a little love note.”
What else has Townsend given the Oscar winner?
A kick in the ass, so to speak.
“Stuart made me softer,” Theron coos. “He was one of the few guys who wasn’t afraid of me. What he saw was not toughness but vulnerability. I am massively vulnerable, and for so long I just worked hard to cover that up. Stuart wasn’t scared to confront that. He is the one man who never worries about kicking me up the backside.”
The Hancock star also says she thinks her body is rockin’. “I don’t have hang-ups about the way I look,” she insists. “I can see myself in the mirror when I’m all done up and think I look pretty hot…I have curves and they belong to my body.”

Exclusive: Tori Is Out, Shannen Is In for 90210 Remake!
If you’re a fan of the OG Peach Pit posse, you might want to sit down, ‘cause sources connected to the CW’s new 90210 are spilling exclusive dish of OMG proportions.
In a nutshell: Shannen Doherty is in, Tori Spelling is out and Jennie Garth may be—wait for it—reuniting with Shannen on the screen.
(We’ll pause while you find a paper bag to breathe into…especially if your name happens to be Jennie Garth.)
After EW.com’s Michael Ausiello first reported the news that Shannen is in talks, a very reliable and very inside source who works on 90210 tells me exclusively that “It is happening with Shannen. It’s just a question of how long she’ll shoot, whether it will be one day or ten, and what the storyline will be, but we are working on it and it is a very real thing.”
Inside sources also confirm exclusively that Tori will not be appear in the season premiere as planned because of personal reasons—like she just gave birth to a baby girl on June 9. The new mom had been signed on to do a few episodes at the beginning of the season, but she isn’t yet ready to return to work, so her appearance has been pushed to a later date.
As for Shannen’s storyline, I’m told the details are still in the initial-concept stages, but the writers are hoping to get Shannen and Jennie together, onscreen, for a scene. Can you imagine? As far as superhot publicity explosions go, that would be akin to mixing gasoline, Tabasco sauce and fire.
Of course, the real question is, will they do it? “I don’t think there’s any love lost between Shannen and Jennie,” says one rock-solid inside source. “But they are both adults now and professionals, and I don’t see it being an issue. Everyone has their take on what happened back in the day, and I think the feeling is that it’s time to move on. They were 19 and 20 when all of that happened and a lot has changed. And, you know, they’re not moving in together, just shooting together for an hour and a half.”
Another insider close to the negotiations points out: “I want to stress that Shannen has been very, very cool through this whole process. We have seen nothing like the behavior for which she was once famous for.”
Awww…Who doesn’t love a redemption story, right? As long as there are two red dresses in the dressing room, all should be right with the world, the ratings should go through the roof and we 9-0 fans can start freaking out about how lip-smackingly juicy this remake just might turn out to be.

Angelina’s Doctor Is In
Angelina Jolie is in a French hospital to give birth. But who will liberate the twins?
Local ob-gyn Michel Sussman is the doctor in charge of her pending delivery at Lenval hospital in Nice, the facility’s spokeswoman, Nadine Bauer, tells News exclusively.
Bauer says Sussman will be making a statement following the birth, but there is no word yet on when Jolie’s twins are due to arrive.
Despite some media reports that Jolie’s stateside doctor, Jason Rothbart, would be flying to France to tend to the delivery, he remains at his Los Angeles-area office seeing patients.
Rothbart, who also handled the births of Tori Spelling’s two children, delivered Jolie and Brad Pitt’s first biological child, Shiloh Nouvel, on May 27, 2006, at Cottage Medi-Clinic hospital in Namibia.

Carmen Electra Happy to Work the Engagement Pole
If you pushed the snooze button instead of listening to Ryan Seacrest’s morning show on KIIS-FM, then you probably don’t know that marriage engagements are like stripper poles and that Carmen Electra doesn’t much care for paperwork. (Like they say, the early bird catches the, um, writhing, squirmy bit of information.)
While we had already told you that Carmen is in no rush to marry fiancé Rob Patterson, we didn’t know that her hesitation was due not to the fact that she’d been married twice before but to an aversion to filing.
Confused? Here’s how Carm tells it…
“I feel like being engaged feels nice, because it’s a commitment but there’s no paperwork. And, um, I dunno. I feel like we’re happy, so whyI dunno, there’s no reason to push it to the next level when we’re content and we’re happy the way we are.”
Ryan says he understands, kinda.
Ryan: It’s a portable stripper pole. You could really take it down from the ceiling if you had to, but you’re still committed enough so you don’t fall down.
Carmen: Exactly, exactly.
Ryan: And that’s what it’s all about.
Carmen: And that’s what it’s all about.
It is? Maybe we did hit “snooze” after all and just dreamt this whole, surreal thing.
