    Jaime Pressly Expecting a Baby

    My Name Is Earl star Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiancé, Eric Cubiche, are expecting a baby, she announced during a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday.

    The four-months-pregnant actress told Leno that after her doctor showed her an ultrasound, she found out she's having a boy. "She asked me what I thought I was having and I said a boy," Pressly said. "She looked at the picture and said, 'If that's not a boy that's a third leg.' Of course, Eric says its because he's Cuban."

    Pressly already has a name picked out for her son – Dezi James. Pressly and Cubiche have a running joke where he does a Desi Arnaz impression and calls her "Luuucy" when he comes home at night like on I Love Lucy, the actress tells PEOPLE. James is after her father's name (as well as hers).

    Last month, Pressly got engaged to Cubiche – but denied at the time that she was pregnant. Media reports first started swirling that she'd revealed her pregnancy to family and friends at a barbecue. "No, you can get rid of that rumor," she said when asked by PEOPLE if stories about her expecting were true.

    In the midst of speculations, her My Name is Earl costar Jason Lee told E!, “She’s gonna be a good wife, she’s gonna be a great mom.” Pressly admitted to Leno that she'd told Lee about the pregnancy and he'd inadvertantly revealed the information at a red-carpet event.

    "I was only a month pregnant so I lied, which is a woman's right," she said.

    Pressly told PEOPLE last March that getting married before having kids wasn't a prerequisite. "I do want to be a princess for a day," she said, "but it's not necessary to do that before you have kids. A lot of women do it later."

    And she and Cubiche aren't in a rush to tie the knot. "It takes a lot of work and planning," she told Leno.

    The couple have been dating for the past year and a half.

      Emmitt Smith Wins Dancing with the Stars

      It was a partisan crowd that cheered former NFL great Emmitt Smith onto victory at the Dancing with the Stars finale on Wednesday night in Los Angeles.

      While Smith and fellow celebrity finalist Mario Lopez received identical scores on Tuesday night's show, it was Smith's fan base that voted him and professional dance partner Cheryl Burke onto victory.

      Smith, 37, beat out the former Saved by the Bell star in the third season of the popular ballroom dance show.

      "I am so proud of this trophy and I am proud to share it with Cheryl," Smith told PEOPLE while gold-colored confetti fell from above. "We worked our tails off."

      "Emmitt embodied what this competition is all about," season 3 contestant Shanna Moakler said. "He deserved to win. Absolutely."
      "I don't think you could go wrong with either of these guys," former contestant Jerry Springer said. "They both had identical scores so it was who had the more compelling story and Emmitt's was the great American story. You saw his growth throughout the process and that's the great American story. That's the magic of this show."

      Runners up Lopez, 33, and partner Karina Smirnoff couldn't hide their disappointment about coming in second place. Tears streamed down Smirnoff's face as she reluctantly talked to reporters and the usually jovial Lopez tried to console her.

      "Apparently world-class dancing wasn't enough. That wasn't the criteria it was based on," a dejected Lopez told PEOPLE. "I don't really care about the trophy. I just wanted to win for Karina. She is honestly the best dancer in the world. No disrespect to the other girls on this show, but they don't hold a candle to her."

      Smith, Burke, Lopez and Smirnoff will be in New York City on Thursday for a Ronald McDonald House charity event. Then, Smith will reunite with his family at their Dallas home.

      "This is going to be a great Thanksgiving this year," Smith's wife, Pat, said. "He is one happy man and I'm so proud of him.".

      One of the highlights of the night, aside from Smith's win, was the return of the entire season 3 cast. Receiving the biggest ovations were Jerry Springer and Sara Evans. Evans withdrew from the competition after filing for divorce from political consultant Craig Schleske, her husband of 13 years.

      Evans is not allowed to do any press because of a gag order imposed by the judge presiding over her divorce. But her return to the show was well-received, dancer Louis Van Amstel tells PEOPLE.

      "She was very relaxed, very happy to be here. Her kids are here and they are having a lot of fun. Her son Avery was doing some moves on the dance floor during rehearsals yesterday." Van Amstel said.

      The DWTS tour kicks off Dec. 19 in San Diego. Burke will re-team with her fellow champion from season 2, Drew Lachey, for the 38-city jaunt. Smirnoff, meanwhile, will team up with season-3 contestant Harry Hamlin.

        Eva Longoria: Too Sexy for Politics?

        Eva Longoria says she toyed with the idea of running for political office – until she imagined the campaign TV ads confusing her with her role as fiery seductress Gabrielle Solis on Desperate Housewives, she told a group of Latino leaders in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

        "I'm here today to announce my candidacy for president. ... Oh, wrong speech! In the last two years, I've had an affair with the gardener and a teenager, I've faked a paternity test, my husband went to prison, and I threw him out of a window," the actress said. "I would probably win in California."

        At the luncheon, Longoria, 31, stressed the importance of supporting arts programs that feature Latino actors. Not that she's pushing "diversity requirements," she noted.

        The actress, who's a longtime friend of Dancing with the Stars runner-up Mario Lopez, told PEOPLE: "They didn't pick him because he was Latin and they needed to fulfill a diversity requirement. They picked him because he's a good dancer."

        Longoria has been active in politics, including the 2004 presidential race, during which she helped to educate Latino leaders about candidates, participated in a bus tour and met with the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. The actress said she remains informed about immigration, education, health care, and employment issues.

        And Desperate Housewives pretty much runs the gamut of American politics. "I think everybody on Wisteria Lane has the money of a Republican, but the sex life of a Democrat so it's a really political show," Longoria cracked.

          George Clooney's Pick for Sexiest Man: Matt Damon

          George Clooney, PEOPLE's newly-named Sexiest Man Alive, quips about his friend Matt Damon missing out on the cover spot – and advises him on how to nab it one day.

          "I gotta say, this is a very big disappointment for Matt, because he did run a very good campaign," Clooney jokes in the new issue of PEOPLE. "If you've been around him, you know he's sexy. His eyes pop. They have a twinkle. He's got a good smile. He's quite the dancer. He does rock a Speedo in Ocean's 13.

          Clooney, a two time Sexiest Man Alive honoree (a title he shares with Ocean's costar Brad Pitt) says Damon sought his advice, "like a politician would go to Clinton" to find out how be chosen for the cover himself.

          His advice: "I think you should go with a snakeskin suit and some mousse and give a sort of up-on-your toes pose." Damon strikes the pose in a photo, provided to PEOPLE by Clooney, taken in November 1997.

          "I'm afraid he's going to think that I was using my influence to quietly, secretly take him down," Clooney says. "But really, Matt's got a couple of year left before it's time for him."

            Tom & Katie's Countdown to 'I Do'

            Call it Mission: Impeccable – Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are set to wed Saturday at the Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy, capping a week with A-list arrivals, media hordes and some Italian sightseeing thrown in for good measure.

            The frenzied preparation started on Nov. 13 when the soon-to-be newlyweds touched down at Rome’s Ciampino Airport with an entourage of ten. The group was then shuttled under police escort to the luxury Hotel Hassler where delivery men have been scurrying to and fro all week carrying parcels from Suri’s car seat to 120 red roses for “a special guest.” (For live reports from Italy, check out PEOPLE's Tom & Katie Wedding Blog.)

            Taking a break from the wedding whirlwind, the future Mr. and Mrs. Cruise indulged in a private tour of City Hall with Suri in tow on Wednesday night. Mayor Walter Veltroni personally escorted the party to the Capitolini museums at the couple’s request and then through the Roman gardens.

            The next day, it seemed all roads and celebrity jets lead to Rome: That morning, A-list stars including Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, Jada Pinkett Smith and Brooke Shields arrived together via chartered plane while lovebirds Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy booked their own Gulf Stream jet to the Eternal City. The bride’s Ohio-based parents, Martin and Kathy, also landed safely and told PEOPLE they're “very happy to be here.”

            So is Holmes, who was already spotted wearing white before the main event. For a Thursday pre-wedding dinner with her fiancé, daughter and some of their VIP guests, the actress donned a white pants suit with a gold satin and organza blouse Armani, who is also outfitting the entire wedding party this weekend.

            The nuptials will bring the couple's 19-month romance full circle: Cruise and Holmes first stepped out as a couple in Rome in April 2005, with Cruise already referring to Holmes as "amore mio" just a few weeks after their first date (sushi, a private plane ride and a motorcycle trip to the beach).

            Holmes wasn't shy about her feelings either. "(I'm) totally in love. He's amazing, he's kind, he's generous. He made me laugh like I've never laughed," she gushed two months later. "I feel like he's made my life."

            The pair took their romance global as they traveled the world promoting their respective summer blockbusters (hers: Batman Begins; his: War of the Worlds). But in mid-June, they found time in Paris for a late-night candlelit dinner at the Eiffel Tower, where Cruise proposed with a five-carat diamond ring.

            "I want to marry her as soon as possible," Cruise announced. "You have to do what you feel is right," he told PEOPLE at the time. "It's (about) your own integrity and how you want to live your life."

            The pair had another reason to celebrate in October, when they announced they were expecting a baby. Holmes "almost seems born for motherhood," her pal and former Dawson's Creek costar Oliver Hudson told PEOPLE. "She's a nurturer."

            So is Dad, who told a German talk show on April 1: "I'm getting ready. I'll be changing diapers."

            Diaper duty officially started two weeks later when the pair welcomed 7-lb., 7-oz. Suri on April 18. Cruise's Mission: Impossible 3 director J.J. Abrams told PEOPLE: "She has (Tom's) hair – it's hysterical. You'll see."
            Indeed, the world was introduced to Suri's full head of dark locks and striking blue eyes when she made her public debut on the October cover of Vanity Fair.

            "The moment I looked in her eyes I felt like … Mom," Holmes told the magazine of her new bundle of joy. "She's the miracle of our life."

            Not to mention a VIP at her parents' big day. "Don't you have the baby first and then get married?" Cruise joked in Good Housekeeping's June issue. "In many ways we feel like we already are married. I know I'm with the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. So the wedding – that's just the party."

            This will be the first marriage for Holmes and the third for Cruise, who was wed to Nicole Kidman from 1990 to 2001 and actress Mimi Rogers from 1987 to 1990.

              Chris Robinson Files For Divorce from Kate Hudson

              Chris Robinson has filed for divorce from Kate Hudson in Los Angeles, three months after their separation, PEOPLE has learned.

              Robinson is requesting joint legal and physical custody of their son, Ryder, 2, and is not seeking spousal support, according to court documents.

              The couple separated on Aug. 14 amid rumors that Hudson was romantically involved with her You, Me and Dupree costar Owen Wilson. The actress is currently in Australia shooting Fool's Gold.

              Hudson, 27, and Robinson, 39, were married on New Year's Eve in 2000, only a few months after they met. After their wedding, Kate took a year off from acting to give their marriage a solid foundation.

                Kimberly Stewart: 'I Don't Have Liver Disease'

                Kimberly Stewart is denying reports that she is suffering from liver disease – but she does tell PEOPLE that her dad Rod Stewart has "big mouth."

                That's the clarification offered up by the daughter of the rock legend, after quotes surfaced from the elder Stewart saying that his daughter had "very serious liver illness from drinking too much."

                "I love my dad but sometimes he has a big mouth and not just when he's singing," Stewart, 27, tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I don't have a liver disease. I was exhausted and feeling sick from burning the candle at both ends, and my doctor told me to cut back on drinking and smoking, which I have, and I feel so much better."

                Reps for Rod Stewart say the comments, in the new issue of Rolling Stone, were taken out of context. "Kimberly had an inflamed liver and she's perfectly fine now," the rocker said in a statement.

                  Sophia Loren on The Pirelli Calendar 2007

                  Sophia still sensational at 72


                  Screen legend Sophia Loren is to grace the cover of the world famous Pirelli calendar at the ripe old age of 72.

                  The Italian beauty, who still has a figure women half her age would yearn for, will pose in a slinky see through black dress for the calendar, which this year has Jennifer Lopez on the front.

                  Although she will not be naked the picture will leave very little to the imagination and has been described as very "tasteful with a pair of drop diamond earrings."

                  Loren has had dozens of offers to pose naked in a film career stretching 50 years but has always turned them down although she accepted the Pirelli offer because of its legendary reputation.

                  The Pirelli calendar has been going for more than 40 years and is a limited edition publication given to special VIPs only - Prince Andrew is a regular recipient.

                  This year's 2006, calendar apart from featuring Jennifer Lopez also has cocaine scandal British model Kate Moss, for July and August.

                  Other 'month's in the 2006 calendar are illustrated by Giselle Bundchen, Guinevere Van Seenus and Karen Elson.

                  In a break from tradition next year's 2007 calendar will not feature so called supermodels but a more refined set of stars apart from Loren they are Hilary Swank, Penelope Cruz, Naomi Watts and little known French actress Lou Doillon.

                  Yesterday's news that Loren would pose for Pirelli sparked massive interest in Italy especially as it was initially reported that she would bare all but this was denied by both Pirelli and her press agent, Enrico Lucherini. Speaking in Rome Mr Lucherini said: "Sophia is in the Pirelli calendar but she is certainly not nude.

                  "In the Sixties she had hundreds of offers to pose nude but she turned them all down but she still looks fantastic now.

                  "She will be 72 next birthday and she still has a figure that would be the envy of women half her age but she would never pose naked."

                  He would not release the pic of Loren that will be in the calendar, but did issue one taken from the same photoshoot - but showing her only lying on a bed with a sheet pulled up to her neck.

                  Loren's decision to appear in the Pirelli calendar was met with derision by another Italian screen icon of the Sixties, Claudia Cardinale.

                  She said:"Everyone is free to do what they want but I would never do it. "

                  Loren's decision, a few months before her 72nd birthday in September, is set to spark mixed emotions among her fans, with some struck by eager anticipation and others fearing she may dent her stately reputation.

                  However as she herself once said: "You have to be born a sex symbol. You don't become one. If you're born with it, you'll have it even when you're 100 years old."

                  Speaking of her decision to pose for the Pirelli calendar Loren said: "You have to be decisive when you want to do something you want and something that you have maybe wanted to do for some time."

                  Loren's pictures for the 2007 Pirelli calendar were taken in California last week by photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.

                  Last night Loren was quoted on the website of Italian daily Corriere Della Sera saying of the photo shoot:"I emjoyed myself posing as if I was a little girl again." A Pirelli spokesman in Milan said: "I can confirm that Sophia Loren has posed for the 2007 Pirelli calendar.

                  "The pictures were shot last week on location in America and she looks fantastic - you wouldn't think she is nearly 72 years old."

                      Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Marry!

                      It's official: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now husband and wife. The couple exchanged vows Saturday in front of more than 150 guests at the Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy, their rep, Arnold Robinson, confirms to PEOPLE.

                      "The wedding was absolutely beautiful," says a guest.

                      With thousands of fans, photographers and TV cameras watching from afar, Cruise and Holmes were joined by family – Katie's dad Martin walked her down the aisle – and a slew of celeb pals, including Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, among others.
                      The sunset ceremony was performed by a Scientology minister, according to a statement from their reps. The wedding party included Cruise's children, Isabella and Connor, the best man was Cruise's best friend, David Miscavige – the head of the Church of Scientology – and Katie's sister Nancy Blaylock served as the matron of honor.

                      Though initially there were questions about whether Cruise and Holmes's marriage on Saturday was official – the Mayor of Bracciano, Italy, said the couple needed to have a civil ceremony in town in order to make it legal – Cruise's reps say Tom and Katie took care of everything beforehand.

                      "As is customary for couples marrying outside of the United States, Cruise and Holmes officialized their marriage in Los Angeles prior to their departure for Italy," according to the statement.

                      Other details released Saturday by the newlyweds:

                      • The bride: Holmes wore an off-the-shoulder Armani gown with a train in ivory silk cadis adorned in Valenciennes lace and Swarovski beaded crystal embroidery. Holmes also wore an ivory tulle floor-length veil and ivory silk shoes. Armani, which outfitted the entire wedding, also supplied Katie's bouquet of calla lilies, as well as a champagne evening gown, which she wore at the reception.

                      • The groom: Cruise wore a navy blue Armani tux.

                      • The couple's rings: Their rings were white gold Cartier with diamonds.

                      • The meal: After cocktails, guests were served Italian hors d'oeuvres, followed by a multi-course meal.

                      • The cake: Five-tiered white chocolate, decorated with marzipan roses, and studded with white chocolate chips.

                      • The entertainment: Italian singer Andrea Bocelli.

                      Saturday's wedding started on a damp note, with scattered rain throughout the morning. Holmes and 7-month-old daughter Suri were escorted into the castle under a cluster of green umbrellas. A little over an hour later, the groom was escorted from the Hassler hotel in Rome to Lake Bracciano 18 miles away. With the sun going down, candles lit up the perimeter of the 15th-century castle as limousines carrying the guests drove through the gates.

                      Fans and media were kept at a safe distance from the castle: Police checkpoints prevented anyone unauthorized from getting too close, and journalists were stationed in the nearby town square.

                      Saturday's ceremony brought the couple's 19-month romance full circle: Cruise and Holmes first stepped out as a couple in Rome in April 2005, with Cruise already referring to Holmes as "amore mio" just a few weeks after their first date (sushi, a private plane ride and a motorcycle trip to the beach).

                      Holmes wasn't shy about her feelings either. "(I'm) totally in love. He's amazing, he's kind, he's generous. He made me laugh like I've never laughed," she gushed two months later. "I feel like he's made my life."

                      Life changed even more in mid-June 2005. During a late-night candlelit dinner at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Cruise proposed with a five-carat diamond ring. "I want to marry her as soon as possible," Cruise announced. "You have to do what you feel is right," he told PEOPLE at the time. "It's (about) your own integrity and how you want to live your life."

                      The pair had another reason to celebrate in October, when they announced they were expecting a baby. Holmes "almost seems born for motherhood," her pal and former Dawson's Creek costar Oliver Hudson told PEOPLE. "She's a nurturer."

                      The pair welcomed 7-lb., 7-oz. Suri on April 18. "The moment I looked in her eyes I felt like ... Mom," Holmes told the magazine of her new bundle of joy. "She's the miracle of our life."

                        Tennis Star Andrea Jaeger's New Life as a Nun

                        Twenty-five years ago, Andrea Jaeger was the brat of the women's tennis tour. While rising to No. 2 in the world, she tells PEOPLE she sometimes screamed at linesmen and was standoffish to competitors.

                        Cut to the present: The former tennis star, surrounded by a gaggle of young cancer survivors, strolls the halls of Cincinnati Children's Hospital. At each room the gang stops and belts a splendidly off-key version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." In their beds, other kids giggle.

                        Jaeger's worldview has changed dramatically: On. Sept. 16 the former tennis terror became, officially, Sister Andrea, an Anglican Dominican nun. Now 41, she has dedicated her life to the care of kids in need, visiting hospitals and running camps for kids with cancer.

                        Sister Andrea says that even when she was on the tour, there was a more spiritual soul lurking beneath. She says she always felt that "God had a plan" for her.

                        Her father, Roland, also had a plan, which at the time took priority: A tennis natural since the day she picked up a racquet at age 8, Jaeger won a slew of junior tournaments and turned pro at 14.

                        Within two years she was ranked number two in the world – and widely disliked by some fellow competitors. Author Rita Mae Brown, who followed the tour back then, was not one of them. "I remember somebody we all loved very much was dying of cancer but we didn't know it," says Brown. "Andrea was very gentle in her company; she felt things before the rest of us."

                        Likewise, Jaeger recalls how at 15 she entered her first children's hospital because she admired Brown's "generosity of spirit," and found her own calling. "I knew this is what I was supposed to do when I grew up," she says.

                        Jaeger's tennis career ended at the French Open in 1985 when she popped her right shoulder. Seven surgeries later, she retired in 1987. With the $1.4 million she won on the tour, Jaeger moved to Aspen in 1989 to start a foundation with best pal Heidi Bookout. Today, their Little Star Foundation (www.littlestar.org) provides programs for more than 8,000 children a year that are seriously ill, abused or at-risk.

                        Jaeger didn't hear the call to become a nun until earlier this year, when it came in a dream. "I was getting a tour of a monastery. My tour director was Catherine of Siena, who mission was to help the sick, the poor and the suffering. She admits that she kept her plans a secret. "My biggest concern was the foundation," confesses Jaeger, who raises the funds for programs that cost $4.3 million a year.

                        The first person she told was supermodel Cindy Crawford, a supporter and personal friend. "Becoming a nun is pretty radical," says Crawford, but "she can't deny who she's supposed to be."

                        "When people ask if I miss tennis," says Jaeger, "my answer has always been, 'No regrets. God wanted me to do something else, and it happened to be helping children with cancer. I love what I do."

                          Britney Parties with Mario Lopez in Vegas

                          Britney Spears's post-breakup tour has taken her to Las Vegas – and she finally hit the town this weekend, winning big at the blackjack table and partying with Dancing with the Stars' Mario Lopez, sources tell PEOPLE.

                          After stops in New York and her Louisiana hometown of Kentwood, Spears, accompanied by her former manager Larry Rudolph, arrived in Nevada this week and kept a low profile before finally hitting the town on Friday.

                          Donning a disguise of a pink wig and big, dark sunglasses, Britney was spotted in the Palms Casino Resort Friday night chatting it up with owner George Maloof – this, after she and George went on a shopping trip to Caesars Palace's Forum Shops.

                          Also on Friday, Spears went into the Palms' recording studio with producer Lukasz Gottwald to mix tracks on her new album.

                          "She looks and sounds great," a source tells PEOPLE. "Her voice never sounded better. She's having fun. She's ready to kick a--."

                          Britney also did pretty well at the tables, gambling at The Mint, the Palms' high-limit lounge. There, Britney – wearing a short, black dress – caught a lucky streak, raking in $10,000 in winnings from blackjack.

                          She also was introduced to Mario Lopez at The Mint. The two, along with a small group, then headed up to Moon Nightclub and partied the night away.

                            Tom & Katie's Armani Wedding: Who Wore What

                            From the moment they arrived in Rome to the moment they left for their honeymoon, Giorgio Armani was the man behind everything that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wore throughout the week.

                            And when it came to designing Katie's bridal gown, Armani tells PEOPLE exclusively that he wanted the dress to match Holmes's personality.

                            "Katie wanted a simple, elegant dress that was rich in material with a slim silhouette," he says. "I couldn't have been more in agreement. I wanted to make it modern but at the same time, complement the sweetness and energy she conveys."

                            The result? An off-the-shoulder Armani gown with an ivory silk train adorned in Valenciennes lace and Swarovski beaded crystal embroidery. She accessorized her gown with an ivory tulle floor-length veil and ivory silk shoes.
                            As for Cruise, Armani outfitted him with a navy blue tuxedo from the Giorgio Armani Hand Made to Measure collection. The jacket label read, "Giorgio Armani for Tom Cruise."

                            Armani also dressed the rest of Cruise & Holmes's family. Here are all the details:

                            • Holmes's mom, Kathleen, put on a Giorgio Armani Privé evening dress in rose silk; Her neckline was trimmed with tulle and black embroidery.

                            • Holmes's sister and bridesmaid, Nancy Holmes, wore a black charmeuse, silk-layered evening dress, with an empire waist and floor-length s***t. Her off-the-shoulder neckline was made of black lace.

                            • Cruise's mother Mary Lee Cruise wore a silver silk Giorgio Armani Privé evening dress with rose appliqué detail at the waist and shoulders.

                            • Cruise's sister Cass Cruise wore a deep blue velvet suit with a fitted jacket featuring black taffeta plisse details at the waist.
                            Cruise's kids, Connor and Isabella, also wore Armani during the week. In addition to her satin pale pink dress worn earlier in the week, Isabella wore a sleeveless, ice-colored dress for the rehearsal dinner. Connor, meanwhile, matched his dad, dressing in a navy blue single-breasted suit.

                            Finally, there's Suri. For the wedding, Tom & Katie's 7-month-old daughter wore various layers of organza and chiffon, which, according to Armani, was "inspired by her mother's bridal grown."
