SAN FRANCISCO (Map, News) - If the name François-Henri Pinault doesn’t ring a bell, you may be forgiven. Actress and “Ugly Betty” producer Salma Hayek has kept her romance with the French businessman way, way under the radar.

But now two happy announcements have prompted them to come out as a couple: They’re engaged — and yes, that was a baby bump you saw the typically tiny-waisted Salma sporting in recent photos.

“Businessman François-Henri Pinault, and his fiancée, Salma Hayek, are happy to announce they are expecting the arrival of their first child,” Salma’s rep said in a Friday statement.

So who’s this François-Henri fellow who took one of the A-list’s most desirable hotties off the market? He’s the CEO of PPR, the parent corporation of Gucci, Yves St. Laurent and other fashion lines. And, oh yeah, his family is worth more than $7 billion, reports People.

Bajillionaire or not, we say any Hollywood romance this low-profile must be the real deal. Congratulations to the happy couple on all their joyous news!

Madonna: Silent Treatment


(Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Madonna will be getting some bad ink from her ex-nanny, who saw the material girl as just a tad too demanding.

Brace yourself for this shocking news: Madonna is a control freak.

OK, so maybe that’s not such a startling revelation for anyone familiar with the perfectionist pop diva. But now a former nanny is dishing on her alleged my-way-or-the-highway ways in a new tell-all.

In her forthcoming book “Live to Tell: My Life as Madonna’s Nanny,” the New York Post reports, Melissa Dumas portrays our Madge as an iron-fisted household ruler who forbids TV, magazines and newspapers in her home and insisted the nanny hew to her personal nutritional regimen.

According to Melissa, who worked in-house for the Material Mom from 2005 to 2006, Madonna was adamant that no one make noise while she slept, “not even running water for showers.”

The book, to be ghostwritten, is reportedly due in September. Somehow, we think Madonna’s career will survive.

Queen Mother

Queen Latifah has been open about her desire to adopt several children. Now she’s taking the first step: becoming a foster parent. The rapper-actress is applying in New Jersey, according to USA Today.

“I’m not in it for the glamour. It’s a gift,” Latifah tells the paper. “That’s why I didn’t take it quite so lightly, having a baby at any given time, because having a child is something you give.

“I just wanted to be mature enough to handle it. I am at this point, and I’m just looking for the right time.”

When she does adopt, she says it will be an American child, rather than an international adoption a la Angelina Jolie: “I want to do something here.” Needy kids at home, she points out, “can use just as much assistance as someone from around the world.”

It’s Miller Time


(Photo by Brad Barket/Getty Images for Calvin Klein) Sienna Miller has mastered the art of pest control.

Sienna Miller was not pleased when an aspiring paparazzo tailed her at a NYC nightclub — and she took matters into her own hands, according to a report in the New York Post.

Thursday, the “Factory Girl” starlet hit the Plumm to see her new beau, model-musician Jamie Burke, play a set. When a clubgoer began snapping digital pix of her as she partied, she reportedly went ballistic.

“Sienna got in the guy’s face, and yelled, ‘Stop! Get him away!’ and asked security to kick the guy taking photos out of the club,” an eyewitness told the paper.

But the picture-taking pest wouldn’t leave: “He was following Sienna around until 2:30 in the morning, and she just had enough.”

According to the paper’s sources, Sienna ended up turning the tables on the invasive dude. She allegedly “chased [him] toward the exit, searched him and grabbed his camera” — then deleted the photos as security held him back.

The cameraman was finally booted from the club, but Sienna and her dude stayed on to party until 5 a.m. Lesson: Don’t mess with Miss Miller!

they have in fact broken-up. Although they may be fueling these rumors for privacy reasons, I think that they broke-up. Then again no one knows for sure do they? What a shame! Oh well… I think everyone will move on. And if you are “sick” or “gutted” or “just heart-broken” (which I have heard on almost every site carrying gossip on Rachel Mcadams and Ryan Gosling news)you need a life. I knew that they would eventully break-up becuase they hate the media and everyone was making too big-a-deal out of the relationship that they would much rather break-up. It may have worked out if it was not for the media. They broke-up. That is what they said. They broke-up. That is what they said. They broke-up. That is what they said. They broke-up.

I'm very glad Paris isn't going to go to jail for long. She doesn't deserve the pinishment anyway. She didn't do anything wrong and if she did she would apologize and that would be that. She is so sweet and beautiful and cool. I can't wait to see her on tv again!

Sadly, Lindsay Lohan looks twice her age. If she understood that she will look 50 by the time she is 30, she might consider slowing down on her party life. She used to be so cute, it really makes me sad.

Unfortunately, in todays American 'pop culture' television, coming together doesn't mean what you think it means. TV execs want 'edgy' controversial hosts because the bottom line is viewers. The View has very high ratings because people tune in to see what ridiculous thing Rosie is going to say. I don't even think she really believes half of what she says. If you want balance what c-span...'yawn'

This wasn't even Jake and Reese...this was Jake and an assistant, whose name is apparently Valerie, and who kind of resembles Reese. She picked him up at Burbank airport on that Friday night (see Just Jared for pics) and they were driving back to the LA side of the hill.

No way! When will The View find an intelligent woman with values to fill Rosie's position? Smart intelligent remarks and discussions are missing, we don't need "smart ass" remarks. When will we start coming together to solve the problems? As a woman, I am sometimes embarrassed at who we have representing the female gender. Why does someone have to always be wrong? I am ready to see "people", not democrats or republicans, come together to solve the issues. Have we forgotten how to do that?
