Stunner, Halle Berry, is learning French so her unborn baby will grow up bilingual. The Monster's Ball star has started placing 'Post-It' notes all around her home, so she is surrounded by words for every day objects. Her French-Canadian boyfriend Gabriel Aubry has even started talking to the tot in his French tongue - using his girlfriend's belly button as the microphone. Asked by chat show host David Letterman if Gabriel was talking to her bump, Halle replied: "He's doing that in French because his first language is French - he's French-Canadian. He talks into the belly button and calls that the microphone. "I have pressure now to learn French, because we want this kid to be bilingual." Halle said she was finding it hard to learn a new language so late in life, but revealed she had come up with tricks to help her. "What I'm doing is putting Post-It Notes all around the house, because that's one way that Gabriel learned English," she said. "He Put Post-Its all around, so I've got them everywhere."

Once upon a time party girl Tara Reid says she never got into trouble like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan because she is not 'stupid.' Yes folks, this coming from the girl who has botched implants and a public alcohol fueled past! But, the actress did admit that although she loves to party, she has never let it get in the way of work. "I think the reason I never ended up in as much trouble as Paris or Lindsay is that I'm not stupid, so I'd never do a lot of the things those girls do," she told FHM magazine. "You'll never read a story about me going out and partying when I'm supposed to be working, showing up on a set drunk or missing a day, never" "But when I'm not working, why shouldn't I have fun? Am I supposed to stay at home and live in a cage? I was a party girl but I played by the rules." Stock Picture: Tonya Wise/London Entertainment

Rap mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs has allegedly been involved in a violent New York punch-up. The hip-hop superstar is accused of punching a man twice in the face during the early-morning according to the New York Post. The fight broke out at the Kiosk nightspot between Diddy and an acquaintance, Steven Acevedo, over a woman, police sources told the Post. Acevedo reportedly told NYPD officers that Diddy smacked him twice in the face, while screaming 'I'll kill you, punk.' But when Acevedo tried to get back at Combs, bodyguards stepped in to protect him. Officers are now seeking to if Kiosk has surveillance video of the alleged fight. This is not the first late-night fracas for Combs. In February Diddy was allegedly involved in a post-Oscars fight in Hollywood, and in 2001 he was acquitted over a Manhattan club shooting that left three people injured.

Rosario made an appearance at the “Shop ‘Til It Stops” at Loews Hotel in Los Angeles with her mother last night, but I couldn't help but think that she may have been a little cold in her gown. Rosario didn't seem to mind, though, and smiled at the usual circus of photogs on her way inside. I'm not sure if I could go sans bra and see-through if my mother was accompanying me to an event...

Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson left Julia Roberts’ house last night in Venice after attending a party at her place, but what I’m more interested in is the Scion XB electric car that he left in. It may not be the sexiest car I’ve ever seen (talk about a box-on-wheels), but I’m glad to see that he’s doing his part!

If I'm not mistaken, this is quite a rude gesture, complements of Taye Diggs. Taye was caught looking not-so-happy in Hollywood yesterday, where he was celebrating Kate Wash's b-day at Parc. All I see is a Big F-U, especially with that expression!
