Where do I begin? This category was so huge I have been trying to figure out how to write about it for days. So here it goes. We're doing our best of/biggest headline stories of 2006 and while we couldn't be more pleased to have celebrity babies being one of the best trends of the year, we're sad to report another huge story which is celebrity break ups. From Reese and Ryan, Rachel and Adam, Whitney and Bobby to Pam and Kid, we just hate to see couples call it quits, well, except for Britney and Kevin. Watch and reminisce of the couples in happier times.

Diddy and his girlfriend Kim Porter welcomed two little girls into the world on Thursday. The new dad is super excited about his early Christmas present and posted on his MySpace page, "Thank you for all your support this year! I Love Y'all! God Bless." People reports:
"Diddy received an early Christmas gift! It gives us great joy to announce the arrival of Diddy's twin girls. The beautiful, healthy baby girls were born this morning with Diddy by mother Kim Porter's side," Sean Combs's rep, Robert Zimmerman, of Dan Klores Communications tells PEOPLE. "The first arrived at 7:56 a.m. weighing 5 lbs., followed 2 minutes later by the second at 5 lbs., 4 oz. Diddy had a plane on standby in Toronto where he is filming Raisin in the Sun and made it just in the nick of time for the delivery. Both Kim and the girls are doing great."
We wish Diddy, Kim and the rest of their family a very happy holiday with their new little bundles of joy!

Hilary has been leaning on her sister Haylie these days. The two are inseparable hanging out in Vancouver while Haylie is working on a project. A newly single Hilary still has to work with her ex to sort out their stalker issue, but apparently she's pretty pissed that Joel moved on so quickly with Nicole. He's trying to call her, but she won't talk to him. US Weekly reports:
A source tells Us he has been calling Duff, but she “doesn’t want to talk to him” (the pair split in late November after two and a half years).
Adds the source, “She can’t believe he’s dating Nicole and thinks she’s a skank.”
When Duff, 19, heard about Richie’s arrest, “she asked if Nicole had been coming from Joel’s,” says the source. “She kept saying she never knew Joel at all.”
Good thing Hilary has her big sis to hang out with during this hard time. More of Hilary shopping around with Haylie in Vancouver so read more
Brooke got some last minute shopping done at The Grove in LA this week with her daughters Neriah and Sierra Sky. Her third pregnancy is a little more difficult than the first two but that doesn't mean she isn't staying active. She's keeping busy with lots of exercise and taking care of her two girls. It's just going to be the three of them for a while as fiancee David Charvet is off to Morocco for a film project. People reports:
Burke's preparation for her third child's birth is "not really" different from the others," she says. "I had a really good pregnancy the first two times."
Burke says she's "Just working out and trying to eat healthy. (It's) a little harder the third time, but not bad."
Charvet won't be home for long, she also says. "He's getting ready to go work on a film in Morocco. I'm hoping that the timing is going to work out right for the baby. He'll be there for a couple months. But he'll be home for the birth – that's good."
As for wedding planning, that's going slowly, for now. "We're just going to wait for the baby and not stress ourselves out planning the wedding. Then try to do it as soon as possible," Burke says.
Hopefully David will make it back in time for the baby! For more pics just read more
If you haven't heard of Leona Lewis, you soon will. The winner of this season's X Factor (think American Idol) is tearing up the charts in the UK. Leona's single debuted in stores this week and has already broken records. Simon Cowell raves about Leona who chose to cover Kelly Clarkson's A Moment Like This for her first single. How very appropriate for a 21 year-old that has already broken the record for fastest selling download ever. Here's more:
She had already sold 150,000 downloads - meaning that she is now effectively in the top spot.
Lewis, mentored by X Factor judge Simon Cowell, needed to notch up around 200,000 single sales to achieve No1 this Christmas.
Record industry insiders predict she could achieve as many as one million sales by Sunday -far exceeding last year's X Factor winner Shayne Ward's total of 740,000 in his first week.
HMV spokesman Gennaro Castaldo said: "Leona's single is already the fastest selling download in history and is now almost guaranteed to be the fastest selling single of the year.
"There has been a huge response to her as a contestant and when you consider eight million votes were cast then you have to assume a good deal of those people will be buying the song."
It's amazing what shows like American Idol and X Factor can do for a performer's career. Sounds like Leona will be big in '07! Stay tuned for more of the overseas sensation. To watch her performance and to see more pics of this future superstar just read more
