Here's a little scoop on the upcoming fourth season of Nip/Tuck: Three years ago, Richard Chamberlain came out of the closet in real life. Now at age 72, the Thorn Birds and Shogun star is coming out in the FX series Nip/Tuck. "It's my debut," says Chamberlain, who was "nervous but excited" about taking on the role of gay millionaire Arthur Stiles in the risque plastic-surgery drama.

It has been 45 years since Chamberlain came to fame as a heterosexual heartthrob in the hit medical drama Dr. Kildore. Chamberlain believes that he would never have made it as an actor if he hadn't kept his sexuality a secret. In private, he has been with lover Martin Rabbett for 30 years, and the two live in Hawaii.

On Nip/Tuck, Chamberlain describes Stiles as "a man of questionable character." Stiles takes his young lover (played by The Young and the Restless' Thad Luckinbill) to visit the plastic surgery office of McNamara and Troy. But it quickly becomes apparent to Dr. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) that Stiles is trying to make Luclcinbill's character look like a younger version of himself.

Producers claim the scenario is actual Hollywood history. "It's based on Liberace," says coexecutive producer Lyn Greene. "He was known for doing this to his lovers." Chamberlain's episode, the second of Nip/Tuck Season 4, is set to air this fall.

Pierce, 53, and Keely, 41, have been married for almost five years. And in movie news, Pierce plays Colonel Gideon (he hunts down a man with whom he has a grudge at the end of a civil war) in the upcoming film Seraphim Falls, which is scheduled for a October 2006 release and co-stars Liam Neeson, Angie Harmon, and Anjelica Huston.

Posh's stick thin figure has made her a pin-up for anorexic girls.

They claim Victoria Beckham, 32, is their "thinspiration" and have been blitzing sick websites which promote the eating disorder with messages saying they long to look as slim as her.

The mum-of-three has been showing off her figure in Germany where she is watching husband David, 31, captain England.

Victoria has admitted she once came "very close" to an eating disorder but insists she now has no such problems.

Yet many girls are still desperate to look like her. One posting on a pro-anorexia website said: "I envy her. She has beautiful bones sticking out of her chest."

Health experts are alarmed that girls are starving themselves to look like her.

Victoria refused to comment.

Pink's hubby is a tattoo artist but shes avoided his inky needle. "Can you believe it?" says Carey Hart, "she still hasn't been tattooed in my shop."

It will be masterminded by writer/director Brian Jun. Jun is collaborating on the project with Buckley's mother Mary Guibert, who is producing the biography.

It will be the second time a biopic has been attempted. Last year, the writer/producer Train Houston secured the rights to 'Dream Brother: The Lives & Music of Jeff & Tim Buckley', the book by David Browne.

This event spurred Guibert, who controls the rights to Buckley's songs, to start her foray into the movie world.

"Over the years, the number of offers were unceasing," she said. "I had resisted for so many reasons, one being that Hollywood, traditionally, did a lousy job of realistically portraying the life of people like Jeff. But the possibility that it could happen without my participation set me back to re-examine why I wasn't doing it."

Seeing films like 'Ray' and 'Walk The Line' convinced Guibert that "the time was right to have a project where integrity could be built into the script and that we could wrangle it so that it didn't get co-opted or changed in getting to the screen".

Reuters reports that the film will play on Buckley's relationship with his father, singer/songwriter Tim Buckley, who died in 1975.

Co-producer Michelle Sy said: "It is really about how music is so much a part of this person's identity, and there are so many ironies in his life. For example, he was constantly being compared to his father, but he only met his father twice. He had the trajectory of someone who gains a certain amount of success in a short period of time, and there (are) some downsides to that. And it was music that guided him through that."

It is not known who will be cast in the role of Buckley

Britney Spears is trading in one LA for another La. The former pop star still loves Malibu but the entire trappings that go with Hollywood may be too much and she will return to her native state of Louisiana In Touch is reporting.

“She wants to come home,” says Kentwood mayor Harold Smith. “She’s building more rooms for her growing family. She wants a nursery and some kids’ rooms.”

In a story set for publication this week, the magazine claims that even husband Kevin Federline supports the move, which may help solve some of their marriage problems. Britney Spears has learned just how hard caring for a baby can be, the report reads.

This time around, she wants more help - so she’s planning to move back home to Kentwood, La., to be closer to her mom, Lynne.

Britney wants Lynne to help with the kids, but Kevin’s wary. “He likes Lynne but doesn’t like her getting involved in their relationship,” an insider tells the magazine..

Britney, whose second child is due in September, is pouring $200,000 into Serenity, the house where her mom lives, and she hopes the small town life will help calm K-Fed down and strengthen her marriage.

A pal says, “She loves Malibu but feels she’ll end up divorced if she stays there — at least for now.”

“I’m just Britney at home,” the pop star has said. “I don’t get any special treatment. That’s actually good for me.”

Charles Gibson has bid Good Morning America goodbye.

Former cohosts, special guests and future competitors joined Gibson as he said farewell to the morning show Wednesday after nearly two decades as coanchor.

"For 19 years my mornings have not just been good," Gibson said. "They've been great.

"I will miss our breakfast conversations, more than I can adequately say. And I will miss the folks who work on this broadcast--on air and off."

The emotional if subdued tribute--at least when compared to Katie Couric's blow-out send-off--was mostly kept a family affair, with just three celebrity guests dropping by to bid farewell to the World News Tonight-bound anchor.

Fellow morning personality and devoted Gibson flirt Kelly Ripa stopped by the studio to say goodbye and good luck, and introduce "Charlie's Angels," a clip tribute showing some of Gibson's most coquettish moments on air.

"You have made more than one or two--several women blush and shy," Ripa told the departing host.

Former baseball star Cal Ripken Jr. dropped by, giving Gibson a framed Baltimore Orioles jersey with the number 19, in honor of the newsman's years of GMA service. Gibson thanked Ripken, and said his enthusiasm in playing the game inspired the anchor in his own work.

"That was an inspiration for me," Gibson said. "The way you approached baseball is very much the way you should approach this job."

Kermit, meanwhile, was something of a repeat guest. The Muppet was a guest on Gibson's original GMA farewell show in 1998, when he left the program for all of nine months before returning in 1999 to relaunch the show with Diane Sawyer.

"There are no two people I care more about in this business than Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts," Gibson said of his coanchor and the show's longtime news reporter. "I didn't know Diane very well when we started our 'temporary' gig here--I just new I loved her as a broadcaster. I came quickly to love her as a person."

The feeling was mutual as both Sawyer and Roberts bid fond farewells to their longtime coworker.

"Charlie is a rock," Sawyer said. "We didn't really know each other that well when we started out, but somehow instinctively I knew he was there as a safety net and a cushion, a life raft."

"He's been like a brother, an uncle, he's counseled me and just been there," Roberts said. "He's the rock, he's everything."

Former GMA stalwarts Joan Lunden, Kate Snow, Bill Weir, Spencer Christian and recently departed weatherman Tony Perkins all returned to say goodbye.

Gibson first started work on the morning chatfest with Lunden in 1987, and last month, after a long tenure as one of the many rotating replacements for World News Tonight, was named sole anchor to the evening program, replacing the recovering Bob Woodruff and pregnant Elizabeth Vargas.

Gibson's family, including his wife, Arlene, his two daughters and his three-month-old grandson, also dropped by for the farewell and said the patriarch's new job was a more likely fit.

"Charlie is a night person," his wife said. "That's the strange thing about this job. I never see him in the morning--and that's a good thing."

For all the new developments Gibson is poised to face in his news gig, competitors are not one of them.

He will again go head-to-head with Couric, who takes over the CBS Evening News, and NBC's Brian Williams.

Both sent their congratulations and best wishes.

Williams took a humorous tack, with "insincere," "outright lie" and "disingenuous" flashing under his image as he wished his future rival bon voyage.

"Good luck," Williams concluded. "With limits."

Couric played it straighter.

"See you in September," she said.

After thanking his colleagues and family, Gibson turned his increasingly emotional attentions to the people on the other side of the television--the audience.

"I've always said we broadcast at an hour you wouldn't have your best friend into the house," he said. "The dishes aren't done, the beds aren't made, the kids are at their wildest--but you let us come into your home and treat us like friends.

"To those of you who watch, the greatest thanks of all...We deeply appreciate your letting us be a small part of your lives. Once more I say, good morning, America."
