Out of all the people in the world who are bashing K-Fed, you'd think his ex Shar Jackson would be one of them. He did, after all, leave her for Britney while she was pregnant with their second baby. But Shar says K-Fed is a nice guy.... and then goes on to call him a national joke. Here's more

“He’s such a nice guy. He’s made some mistakes but everybody else doesn’t have the whole world pointing their finger at their mistakes. I don’t know what their situation is or why he wants to get custody of his children other than the fact that he loves them,” Jackson told Inside Edition. “Maybe, it goes deeper than that. Maybe it’s because of all the press about her mothering.”

When IE asked why the public seems to be delighting in the couple’s split, Jackson responded, “I think part of it is because whether you know him or not, he has become almost a national joke.”

We thought the next thing that Kate would take on was a singing career, but it turns out that she's caught the acting bug instead. She's set to star in a Comic Relief special called Little Britain's Big Night on November 22. David Walliams, one of the show's actors, evidently talked her into it. He says,

"I've known Kate socially for a little while and she and Pete came to our show one night and liked it....So we thought, let's be cheeky and see if we can convince her and she was up for it. The thing about Kate is that she's funny in her own right so we think it'll be brilliant. It'll be a speaking role but I don't want to give too much away. When you see her and what she'll be wearing and doing, it'll be a big surprise."

He added: "Kate has natural comic talent. It's just that most people don't know it because they see her in pictures and beautiful people aren't allowed to be funny. But I know she's going to be great. It's a real coup and we're absolutely chuffed."

Katie is obviously gearing up for her wedding which is just about a week away with some last minute shopping in Beverly Hills. Meanwhile, speculation continues over the secret location where Tom and Katie are going to tie the knot. The latest rumor is that the nuptials will take place at a medieval castle in the Italian village of Bracciano near Rome. Here's more:

According to local media the Tinseltown couple are planning three days of celebrations, with a warm-up party on Thursday, November 16. A traditional Catholic ceremony will be held the following day, with a Scientology event scheduled for Saturday.

The Mission: Impossible star and his pretty fiancée won't be the first VIPs to visit [Castle Odescalchi]. The striking building, which dates back 800 years, has played host to numerous kings and popes in the course of its history.

I guess having two separate ceremonies is how Tom and Katie have decided to appease her parents who were adamant about their daughter having a Catholic wedding. It works out well for Katie because she gets to have two weddings! I wonder if that means two dresses. For more pics of Katie shopping just read more

Jen and Ben are the most adorable parents. They always look like they're having so much fun with Violet who is growing up so quickly. Ben seems like he's trying to hide Violet from the cameras, but she's not having it. We love that she's showing off that pretty little smile!

Nicole celebrated the environment early last night, but still had time to change her outfit and meet up with her on-again friend Paris on the dance floor at the Playstation party. I am simply amazed that these two were able to not be friends for so long. It's good to see that Paris is continuing to be such a good friend by making sure her BFF parties hard rather than works on gaining weight.

Many others celebrated Playstation too including Lindsay Lohan, Tom Green, P. Diddy and Ben McKenzie. To see more pics, just read more

Nick celebrated his birthday a little early at the Snickers Satisfaction Sing-Off Contest. He was also on hand to judge the finalists in the competition for $25,000. Vanessa was not at the Snickers celebration but she's still very much a part of his life. Not only is it her birthday today too, but rumor has it that the couple are even talking about tying the knot. Nick doesn't, however, want another big wedding. Here's more:

The two are considering eloping, reports Life & Style Weekly. “He’s pushing for a quickie wedding, and promising a big ring,” according to the mag. Minnillo is eager to wed Nick, but she’s not yet completely sold on the idea of eloping, according to L&S, which says she was set on a “fairy-tale wedding with hundreds of guests” but may have her mind changed by the lure of an eight-carat diamond ring.

I can't imagine Nick getting married again so soon but we're just psyched some new pics of him arose. Today is Nick's official birthday (along with another very special person - my mom) so we want to wish them the best! For more pics of Nick at the contest just read more
