Frankie Muniz wants to be a race-car driver

Malcolm is still in the middle ... of a major life decision. Ok! says Frankie Muniz, who's now 22 and no longer a jug-eared honor student, is packing it all in and moving to Arizona to become a full-time race-car driver. Hmm, out-of-work actor to also-ran racer -- tough move there, Frankie.

But it's apparently all true. The mag says Muniz has put his West Hollywood house on the market for $3.7 million.

"He's moving to Scottsdale," a source tells Ok!. "He's decided to focus his energy on racing and feels that he doesn't need a home in Hollywood anymore."

We're more likely to think he doesn't need a home in Hollywood because he hasn't done any real acting since his Fox sitcom went off the air in 2006. Seriously, we're not holding our breath for The Legend of Secret Pass.

Amy Winehouse, Pete Doherty are a bit off

Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty sure are spending an awful lot of time together lately. What with Pete's release from jail and the cops dropping drug charges against Wino (that's like dropping bright charges against the sun), the two are rampaging throught the streets of Olde London Towne.

But what's most frightening is a video of the pair that has ended up on YouTube showing Amy playing with a litter of baby mice and a kitten while Pete runs a camera. That's right, it's as bizarre as it sounds. There's really no point to any of this, other than the two may or may not be stonked in someone's house, but you can't help but feel none of those poor animals are going to meet a good end.

UPDATE: Here's another one, in which Amy uses a mouse baby to plead with her husband Blake Fielder-Civil not to divorce her. Someone please call the police.

Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi to get married

In case you haven't heard already, Ellen DeGeneres announced on her show Friday that she and girlfriend Portia de Rossi will be getting married. This is after the California Supreme Court struck down state laws banning gay marriage, the AP reports.

"I would like to say for the first time I am announcing I am getting married," DeGeneres told a cheering audience during the shows taping on Thursday, joking, "... I'll tell you who the lucky guy is soon."

Ellen, 50, and Portia, 35, have been a couple for years, after DeGeneres split up with Anne Heche, who's having her own problems with her ex-husband now. But we're sure Ellen is too happy to worry about that.

"It's something of course we've wanted to do and we wanted to be legal and we're just very, very excited," she said. We're hoping for a lavish ceremony instead of a quickie courthouse job.

Kate Hudson, Owen Wilson split up. Again.

Oh goodness, another celebrity breakup that affects no one has occurred, with Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson splitting up again, less than two months after getting together from the last split, People says. Head to the fallout shelters!

"It was a pretty bad breakup," a friend of Wilson says. "Owen said it was a tough one. He definitely doesn't want to dwell on it. He wants to put it behind him."

He would think that, since Kate was already seen out and about with her Bride Wars costar, Steve Howey in Boston. And Owen was off to the races himself recently in the Big Apple.

"He was pretty chummy with the ladies ... he was certainly doing some sweet talking," a source told the mag. "He looked happy to be there hanging with them."

Yeah, anything beats hanging out with Jennifer Aniston in Miami, right Owen?

Britney Spears, Mel Gibson go on vacation

In today's sign of Apocalypto, Entertainment Tonight says Britney Spears and Mel Gibson are vactioning together in Costa Rica. The show's Web site says they left early Thursday with Brit's dad Jamie coming along for a ride.

Um, and that's about it. ET says they're all staying at Mel's home there, but the show doesn't know why or how long they'll be gone. And it's right about now the members of The Juice* collective are starting to wonder how we ended up doing this for a living.

Whose is bigger, Angelina Jolie or Jack Black?

Jack Black had better be thankful Angelina Jolie has a sense of humor since he's the one who spilled the beans about Angie having twins before she was ready to say. We're pretty sure she could have people killed for less. But here they are having a big belly contest while promoting Kung Fu Panda on the red carpet at the 61st Cannes International Film Festival in France. While Angie is in her third trimester and blowing up like a balloon, what's really frightening is that Jack isn't actually carrying two human beings in that pudge.

Seriously, sequel to 'Point Break' in the works?

And if Hollywood's not making an adaptation of an '80s TV show, they're making sequels to movies no one ever thought needed sequels (especially Keanu Reeves movies; we're looking at you, Speed 2). Case in point: They're making a sequel to Point Break, which director Jan de Bont is heading up.

Point Break: Indo will take place 20 years after Patrick Swayze's Bodhi went out to catch a wave and never returned, even though it's only been 17 years since that happened. It will be written by the original's scribe, W. Peter Iliff and will be shot in Singapore and Southeast Asia.

They can't say whether Reeves will be back, although it would be a real shame if Johnny Utah couldn't make a return visit. And like Richard Grieco, we're pretty sure Lori Petty is waiting by the phone this very moment.

Jonah Hill working on '21 Jump Street' movie

Since Fraggle Rock was announced as a movie in the works this week, Hollywood has decided to go for broke and make a version of 21 Jump Street. Entertainment Weekly says Jonah Hill, of all people, is in talks to adapt the series for the big screen.

Sony says he'll work on the screenplay and serve as executive producer for movie, but there's no decision on whether he'll be a member of the cast.

And why not? Hill played a teen in Superbad, so why not be a part of the youthful-looking cops from the old Fox show? We don't think he could really pull off the Johnny Depp role, but we're willing to bet Richard Grieco is available.

Anne Heche can't afford child, spousal support

Anne Heche may have flipped out on ex-husband Coley Laffoon on a regular basis, but one thing she apparently can't do on schedule is pay her court-ordered spousal support. Since the cancellation of Men In Trees, which even tbt*'s former entertainment editor couldn't bring herself to watch anymore, she can't cough up the $14,798-per-month stipend she's supposed to pay (not including their son Homer's private school tuition), People says.

"I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further," the 38-year-old wrote in court documents. Superior Court Judge Gail Ruderman Feuer is going to let her slide on July's payment, but told Heche to provide updated income and expense information.

Heche said the only income she has for the year is a $65,000 check for movie work, or about the same as one episode of Men In Trees. In addition, E! Online says she's apparently $364,000 in debt, with only about $35,000 in the bank. We think that's just fine though, since that's about as much as the entire tbt* staff makes in a year.

Thai commercials better than American ones

Madonna hearing delayed, defends Britney

As if any of you actually cared, but a ruling whether Madonna was allowed to keep her adopted Malawian son David Banda was delayed yet again Thursday.

A judge's decision was supposed to come down, but lawyer Alan Chinula said the proceedings were delayed after a local human rights group argued about "shortcomings" in the nation's adoption laws, the AP reports. Chinula said the group wasn't challenging Madge's adoption.

Meanwhile, in a subject closer to our sphere of influence, Madonna was telling the BBC that people shouldn't blame Britney Spears for being the way she is.

"I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that she was never allowed to have a childhood," Madonna told said in an interview. “She didn't get to grow up and make mistakes privately and try things out and just be a kid and be innocent. She's been watched, judged and been under a microscope since she's been a teenager. It's hard to evolve that way."

We're willing to go out on a limb and say Madge knows what she's saying when she's talking about modifying one's image. Tha must be why she's also planning to open a girl's school in Malawi. Oh come on, Oprah Winfrey tried that in South Africa and look what happened!

Nicole Richie, Joel Madden shoot UNICEF PSA

Minor celebrities Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have taken time out from preening their daughter Harlow for celebrity mags to film a PSA for cyclone relief for Myanmar, Us reports. The couple broke out the cue cards for UNICEF, proving that maybe having a baby has shown them there's more to life than nightclubs and recreational drugs.

"Nicole and Joel dropped everything so they could record it," a source tells the magazine. "They felt compelled to act as quickly as possible." Dropped everything? Like, their daughter? Because that's all they really have going on right now.

Us says Madden plans "to start traveling and doing some good things for UNICEF," while Richie "is trying to do something for mothers who don't have the same resources she did." You mean she's realizing that not every third-world mom has access to big-dollar deals for pics of their kids? It's a banner day!

Halle Berry might be engaged to Gabriel Aubry

After creating a contender for most beautiful celbribaby ever, Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry just might be headed down the aisle, ShowbizSpy says. The site says Halle is sporting a fancy new ring on her left hand, as seen in the photo at right (closeup above, natch).

“Gabriel felt the time was right to propose. He gave her the family heirloom because he wanted to show her how much she means to him, and how she will be accepted into the Aubry family,” a source told the site. “The ring belonged to Gabriel’s grandmother -– it was her engagement ring.”

As "awwww"-inducing as that sounds, we'll hold our heartbreak for a few days. The photos being circulated as proof were taken at the EIF Revlon Run/Walk For Women in L.A. on Saturday, so some nitwit probably just noticed a jewel-encrusted ring finger and ran with it. Of course, it could just as easily be true, too.

Jodie Foster dumps her 14-year lesbian partner

Jodie Foster may have finally come out of the closet at an awards show in December by thanking Cydney Bernard, her partner of 14 years, but it apparently didn't stop the relationship train from flying off the tracks. The National Enquirer says Jodie has dumped the 54-year-old producer, who lives in Foster's home and has shared care of her sons Charlie, 9, and Kit, 6.

“Right now it’s the best-kept secret in Hollywood, and it’s not just because Jodie is a legend and an intensely private person, either," some whackdoo source tells the rag. “Because she and Cydney have been together for so many years and have two children together, the potential fallout and legal wrangling from this split could be monumental.”

This was the best-kept secret in Hollywood? They been together 14 years and wear matching rings. That's like saying it's a secret Brangelina likes children or Britney Spears likes doughnuts.

Angelina Jolie (and Jack Black) confirm twins

Finally, we can put all the speculation to rest and announce that Angelina Jolie is, in fact, pregnant with twins. Actually, Jack Black's the one who said it, because he blurted it out during an interview he and Angie were having with Today staple Natalie Morales.

“You’re gonna have as many as (the) Brady Bunch when you have these,” Black said, prompting Morales to ask if it was confirmed that Angie was having twins.

“Yeah, yeah, we’ve confirmed that already,” Jolie answered. “Well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.” Oops.

Jack apologized for the loose lips, but we were all gonna know that anyway. This will be her fifth and sixth children, putting Angie and Brad Pitt over the tipping point for fielding a soccer team, as Pitt has joked about in the past.

Angie wouldn't spill the sexes, though, or if she really was having the children in France. Coy stuff like that is such a pain. It's not like they can't hire armed guards to keep all the paparazzi away. The interview is slated for tonight's Access Hollywood, and will be featured on Thursday's Today show in full.

Jessica goes on a bender, might be single now

What with her sister Ashlee getting married and ex-boyfriend John Mayer dating Jennifer Aniston, Jessica Simpson has a lot to cry about -- which she promptly did on May 10, getting trashed at Mexicali Cocina Cantina in L.A.

Jess headed to the joint around 4 p.m. with her friend CaCee Cobb and her boyfriend Donald Faison, and stayed so long she had to call her mom Tina for a ride home, Us says. Thank goodness she didn't call creepy papa Joe!

The mag goes on to say that on the same night, Jess' boy toy Tony Romo was partying solo in Chicago, saying he was a free man. Maybe he'll get with some actress in Miami and have his pictured splashed all over the paparazzi sites. That'd make Jessica's week.

Cameron Diaz says she's prettier at age 35

For everyone who thinks Cameron Diaz is too skinny and acne-ridden to be considered hot, the 35-year-old has news for you: you can stuff it. The actress tells the U.K. edition of Cosmopolitan that she's happier and looks better now than when she was younger.

"I look at pictures of myself when I was 21 and think, 'Wow, I don't look so bad,'" she says. "But I take more care or myself now, so in a way, I feel like I look better than I did then… I feel stronger and more confident."

She also admits the only real work she's had done was a nose job after a surfing accident three years ago. But even as she ages gracefully, she doesn't think she'll necessarily ever tie the knot.

"There are a lot of ways to approach commitment and relationships -- and marriage is just one of them," she says. "I think partnerships are a wonderful thing in whatever form they take, and I definitely want that in my life, whether or not it's in the traditional sense."

And somewhere, Justin Timberlake sighs.

Marissa Miller named Maxim's sexiest woman

About a month ago FHM said Megan Fox was tops on its list of the 100 sexiest women in the world, so fellow lad-mag Maxim needed to get in on the act. So it named Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl Marissa Miller the best on its ninth annual Hot 100 list (Megan manages a meek 16, sad to say).

She's not letting it get to her head, though, dismissing her career as just so much cotton candy: “I get a kick out of it, but it would be stupid to let it go to my head," she said. "It’s modeling—I didn’t find the cure for cancer.”

Following her in an appropriate 2-3-4 were Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Biel and Eva Longoria, followed by a misplaced No. 5 in Sarah Michelle Gellar. After her was Elisha Cuthbert (whom we haven't follwoed since she got her finger cut off in House of Wax), Eva Mendes and Christina Aguilera.

In ninth was Lindsay Lohan, showing how trustworthy the voting was, with new-nosed Ashley Tisdale rounding out No. 10. The big surprise was No. 19, Britney Spears, who got the mercy 100 spot on FHM's list. That Maxim spot goes to Tila Tequila, who will probably do something else wild 'n' crazy to boost her self-esteem over it.
