Elton John's Immaculately Conceived Baby Was Born on Christmas Day
Elton John debuts his surrogate-born baby. Christina Hendricks lost an $850,000 diamond bauble. Christina Aguilera picks a catfight with a co-star. Octomom makes her fetish film debut. Tuesday gossip is miraculous.
- Elton John and partner David Furnish's immaculately conceived surgogate-born babe Zachary Jackson Levon Furnish-John was born on Christmas day, and makes his public debut this week. (They're pulling a Travolta with simultaneous UK-US cover stories. This is the first time the phrase "pulling a Travolta" has been used in a context that does not include glory holes.) Quoth Sir Elton, age 63: "I've never felt anything like it in my life. You're so awestruck. What can you say? You take it in. The feeling, the joy, the warmth of his body, his breathing...I will never forget that experience ever." The fathers, who have been together for 17 years, say they are still trying to adopt a pair of Ukranian brothers—one of whom is HIV-positive—despite being barred from adoption at the last minute because they are gay.

- Christina Hendricks lost an $850,000 diamond bracelet at the Golden Globes. Luckily, an "event worker" found it and somehow resisted the urge pocket it, pawn it, and use the proceeds to feed, clothe, and educate several dozen children in the Appalachian mountains with it. [P6]
- To avoid prosecution for bigamy, the Sister Wives family is moving to Nevada. Hopefully they move in next door to the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, and create the most insane reality TV show about misogynist living situations ever. I'd watch it. [TMZ]
- January Jones and Jason Sudeikis probably broke up from their probable-but-unconfirmed relationship, probably because of "the long distance." [People]
Jennifer Aniston poses with a teddy bear in the February issue of Allure, apparently to emulate Brigitte Bardot, even though we specifically told her to stop dress up like other people in photo shoots. Perhaps she is disguising herself to exorcise the demons of self-hate: "The Aniston was the ugliest haircut I've ever seen." Poor Jen. So sad. [Allure via Us]
- Burlesque costars Christina Aguilera and Julianne Hough got into a "catfight": "Christina really got in her face" and threatened to ruin Julianne's career. Meow! "Visibly upset," Hough hollered, "Don't touch me!" Hiss! hiss! Meow! Nobody knows why they were fighting, and Christina denies it. Rowr? Maybe to generate attention for their box office bummer of a movie. Purr. [E!]
- Melissa Etheridge is "happy" in her new relationship with Nurse Jackie creator Linda Wallem, who was her "best friend for over 10 years" and the "best man" in Melissa's wedding to the wife she broke up with three months ago. Somewhere, Tammy Etheridge is stifling a scream and slamming her bedroom door repeatedly. [People]
- Supermodel Marisa Miller: "I love my butt." Oh, shut up. [Shape, Us]
- After years of cajoling, Nadya Suleman has finally relented and become a sort-of-porn star: Apparently she made a fetish video where she wears a black corset and "whips a grown man wearing a baby diaper and a bonnet." Maybe this is her response to Suze Orman ridiculing her financial situation? [TMZ, Oprah]
- Camille Grammer is working on a tell-all memoir about her marriage to Kelsey Grammer, which will apparently contain sex scenes even racier than the terrible cross-dressing tableaus she subjected the Howard Stern Show to last week. Of course. [Radar]
- Someone tried to bounce Jane Lynch at a post-Golden Globe party. "Do you have an invitation?" the guard asked. "No, but I am pretty sure this will get me in," she replied, and waved her Golden Globe through the air. If I were a celebrity and won a Golden Globe, I would pray to get bounced from a post-Golden Globe party, just so I could pull a trick like that. The guard let Jane in. [P6]
