Weeeell, I guess these photos of Nicole Kidman should put to rest any of those "she's not really pregnant" or "there's a surrogate" rumors, right? The mom-to-be showed off her growing baby bump while out on a run with her trainer in LA on Wednesday. She still looks lean as ever, but it's only a matter of time before that belly is undeniable.

Madonna looks ready to kick some ass in April's Interview! The almost 50-year-old pop icon is showing off her super-toned body while sporting some sexy boxing gear. She is about to hit the promo road for her new album, Hard Candy, and we can't wait to get our hands on it. In the article, M talks about her kids, working with JT, and her thoughts on freedom. Here are highlights:

• On working with Justin: "I really enjoy writing with Justin . . . We had psychoanalytic sessions whenever we wrote songs first. We'd sit down and we'd start talking about situations. And then we'd start talking about issues or problems or relationships with people. That was the only way, because you know, writing together with somebody is very intimate . . . that was fun, because he's open and he's got talent. He's a songwriter. I haven't worked with a lot of songwriters where I'm instantly connected and start riffing and playing with the rhythm of the words. He's as interested in the rhythm of the words as the meaning of the words."







• On freedom: "Freedom is a funny word because when we think we're free, we're not really. I think freedom is quite illusory . . . When I stop thinking about myself all the time and put other people before me on a regular basis, that's real freedom. When I can love unconditionally . . . then that's real freedom. So it's something to strive for, but I'm not free."

Kate Bosworth and James Rousseau took a break from enjoying the mountain air to grab a bite in Bondi, Australia, today. They're pretty adorable as usual in their sunglasses and huge smiles, even if both of them are looking a bit on the slim side. No matter what, this cute couple always brings a smile to our faces, so hopefully James will be right on Kate's arm when she starts hitting the red carpets for one of the most anticipated movies of the Spring.

John Mayer may have quit his official blog in January, but that doesn't mean he's done talking. Just can't stay away. He touched down in LA last night and made his way right to Hyde, where his generosity continued and he gave some jock itch powder and Lotrimin (whatever?) to the paparazzi — seems like he was in a good mood after being in a bit of a funk in NYC earlier in the week. While there, he penned this cryptic — only in recipient — message on his blog:

Dear Ex Lover,
Perhaps you didn't understand the last time I told you to stop contacting me, so I'll do my best to spell it out for you. I do not wish to have you in my life anymore. I don't know how much more clear I can be about it. It would serve you best to move on with your life and find someone who can put up with you, because I'm done trying.
I hope this is enough closure for you.
Goodbye.

P.S. If you need me, you know how to find me.

Call me crazytown, but I don't think he's sending the memo to Jessica Simpson. He's always been so glowing and nice about her, after all. Plus, he has a lot of other ex-girlfriends like Minka Kelly and all those rumors about Cameron Diaz, just to name two. So, to whom do you think John Mayer is sending this very public message?

Eva Longoria Parker (fun!) was back together with her BFF Mario Lopez for some shopping and smoothies yesterday afternoon in LA. Aaaand that shopping took place at Cartier — lucky, lucky. Last week she gushed about how pleased she is to be back on the Desperate Housewives set, but she looks equally thrilled about her new goodies. As for Mario, he's been rocking out on America's Best Dance Crew and is on his way to Broadway soon. Lots to celebrate!
