Donald Trump Jr. and his wife of one year, Vanessa, are expecting their first child, the couple have confirmed.

The baby, who is due early next summer, will be the first grandchild for real-estate mogul Donald Trump.

"Everyone's very excited," Vanessa, 28, says. Although "if you mention the 'grandpa' word (to Donald Sr.), he might not be so excited."

Complicating the family dynamics: The new baby's uncle Barron (son of the elder Trump and his wife Melania) is just eight months old.

"They'll be more like brothers, or brother and sister," says Vanessa, who wants her baby's sex to be a surprise.

What kind of father will Donald Jr., a Trump Organization executive VP, be? A lot like his own dad. "Trumps don't do diapers," says Don, 28. But he does vow to be more hands-on – think playing catch – with his own kids.

Whitney Houston's $6 million New Jersey estate is slated to be put on a sheriff's auction block Jan. 4 because of more than $1 million owed in back taxes and other charges, according to published reports.

The sale was scheduled Tuesday by the Morris County Sheriff's Office, the Daily Record of Parsippany newspaper reported. The service agent for Chevy Chase Bank, the mortgage holder, sued the soon-to-be-divorced singer, 43, in June. Neither the mortgage nor the taxes have been paid this year, according to county tax records.

Houston's estate encompasses two lots, with the lot for sale assessed at $889,300. The adjacent property is valued at more than $5.6million, reports the Daily Record. Houston purchased the properties nine years ago for $2.7 million.

To pay off the mortgage, Houston was to shell out $4,711.18 per month from June 2004 until May 2034, for a total of about $1.7 million, the paper reports. If the past-due payments are made, the sale could be called off, says Gayl Spivak, an attorney representing Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems.

Houston also has homes in California and Georgia.

Through a secretary, Houston's publicist, Nancy Seltzer, told the Daily Record that the property was not in foreclosure. There has been no further comment.

Alert the media!! Angelina Jolie eats ketchup with her french fries!!

What a ruckus Angelina caused for grabbing fast food at McDonald’s yesterday! Hundreds of people showed up for a glimpse of the Hollywood actress. If they saw anything, I’m sure they saw a mouthful.

Angelina, 31, chowed down a quickie lunch with three other people (two male, one female) at a McDonald’s location in Bombay (Mumbai), India around the set of her new film, A Mighty Heart. She looks like she really enjoyed her meal there — sipping on some soda and eating french fries.

The McDonald’s menu is different all over the world but if the colors on the McDonald’s India website match the sandwich wrappers, Angelina ate a McVeggie burger which is a “breaded fried vegetable patty consist of peas, carrots, green, beans, red capsicum, potatoes, onions, rice and seasoning. The burger also includes lettuce, eggless mayonnaise in a toasted sesame seed bun.” Just thought you’d like to know!

Michael Jackson made a musical comeback of sorts on Wednesday, singing the chorus line of his charity single "We Are The World" before the sound cut out as he struggled for the high notes.

The 48-year-old, performing live for the first time since he was acquitted of child molestation charges in June, 2005, had been expected to sing his seminal hit "Thriller."

But to the huge disappointment of screaming fans, that was performed instead by young U.S. star Chris Brown.

Jackson looked uncomfortable at times as he was surrounded by excited young members of a gospel chorus on stage with him.

That did not stop supporters desperate to see their idol cheer his every move, especially when threw his black sequin jacket into the crowd.

The failure by the deposed King of Pop to demonstrate his voice and confidence were back to anywhere near their best was likely to raise further doubts about his ability to resurrect a career that has been on hold for years.

"I love you!" he shouted, before the World Music Awards 2006 ceremony he headlined wound up.

Earlier in the evening, Jackson was given the Diamond Award honoring artists who sell more than 100 million records.

Introducing Jackson, U.S. singer Beyonce said: "Tonight we are celebrating 25 years of 'Thriller'," referring to his seminal album. "If it wasn't for Michael Jackson I would never have ever performed. I love you, we all love you."

Naomi Campbell might be spending more time in courtrooms than on catwalks these days.

The supermodel was due in a New York court Wednesday to face charges of assaulting a housekeeper — one in a series of former employees who have said the supermodel is striking in more ways than one.

The latest allegation came just Tuesday, when former maid Gaby Gibson sued Campbell for the second time.

Gibson says the 35-year-old model hit her, called her names and threatened to charge her with theft after being unable to find a pair of Stella McCartney jeans.

Campbell's court date Wednesday stems from a similar accusation: She was unable to find a pair of jeans and allegedly blamed the maid.

In that incident, Campbell was accused of hitting Ana Scolavino with a cell phone in the model's Manhattan apartment after saying she stole the missing jeans. Scolavino was treated for a head injury.

Campbell, who is from London, faces up to seven years in prison and deportation if convicted in that case. Her lawyer, David Breitbart, has said a plea deal was possible, but he did not say what it might entail.

In Campbell's latest legal woes, Gibson's new lawsuit says "Campbell either kicked or punched the back of Gibson's head ... while yelling discriminatory comments" as the maid searched the closet for the model's jeans.

Gibson worked for Campbell from November 2005 through January 2006. Her court papers call Campbell a "violent super-bigot" who disparaged her maid by saying, "You are not in the Third World any more, stupid," and "Romanians are not usually as dumb as you."

Breitbart denied Gibson's claims.

He said Gibson's first lawsuit was thrown out because papers were not filed within the legal time limit. Gibson's lawyer, Lambros Y. Lambrou, said the new claim adds additional allegations and defendants.

They include four companies owned by Campbell and her former publicist, Amanda Silverman.

The lawsuit says the publicist "disseminated false and defamatory statements against Gibson," harming her reputation. Silverman said she had no comment.
Gibson is seeking unspecified damages.

Lambrou said Campbell has been unfazed by her legal woes. He said she has been seen wearing a T-shirt saying "NAOMI HIT ME" on the front and "I LOVE IT" on the back.

My Name Is Earl actress Jaime Pressly and her deejay fiancé, Eric Cubiche, are expecting a baby, she announced during a taping of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Wednesday.

The four-months-pregnant actress told Leno that after her doctor showed her an ultrasound, she thinks she's having a boy. "She asked me what I thought I was having and I said a boy," Pressly said. "She looked at the picture and said, 'If that's not a boy that's a third leg.' Of course, Eric says its because he's Cuban."

Last month, Pressly got engaged to Cubiche – but denied at the time that she was pregnant. Media reports first started swirling that she'd revealed her pregnancy to family and friends at a barbecue. "No, you can get rid of that rumor," she said when asked by if stories about her expecting were true.

In the midst of speculations, her My Name is Earl costar Jason Lee said, “She’s gonna be a good wife, she’s gonna be a great mom.” Pressly admitted that she'd told Lee about the pregnancy and he'd inadvertantly revealed the information at a red-carpet event. "I was only a month pregnant so I lied, which is a woman's right," she told Leno.

And she and Cubiche aren't in a rush to tie the knot. "It takes a lot of work and planning," she told Leno.

The couple have been dating for the past year and a half.

Allen Iverson isn't just one of the great basketball stars of our time - he's also a tireless slam-dunk in the bedroom, according to one of his ex-lovers.

In her autobiography, "It's No Secret," out this month from Pocket Books, former Def Jam Records office worker Carmen Bryan tells of her X-rated romps with hip-hop legends Jay-Z and Nas, with whom she has a child. But she saves her most gushing praise for Iverson, the 6-foot-tall Philadelphia 76ers guard, whom she labels a "lean and muscled" sexual "warrior."

"Just looking at him got me excited . . . He was so physically strong he thought nothing of picking me up and creating the most erotic of poses," writes Bryan about their first night of passion in a hotel. Even after Iverson exhausted her, he was instantly ready for more.

"In Round 2, he picked me up and swiftly carried me over to a table, perching me on its edge . . . holding me up by my hips and lower back." Exhausted, Bryan said she tried to rest, but Iverson snapped, "You think we're done? Oh, we ain't done!"

"He buried his face in my neck in spontaneous affection, which got Round 3 going. By now I needed a battery to keep up with the energetic Bubba Chuck."

Nas was also a player in the sack - "a human octopus" - she says. But he once freaked when he spotted a huge hickey on her neck from another man: "The next thing I knew I was being hit in the face with a closed fist. The impact of the blow was so fierce that I saw stars."

Bryan got payback when she inadvertently bought a box of defective condoms that set Nas' private parts on fire. "I ran down to the kitchen and grabbed a cup, added warm water and a pinch of baking soda . . . I told him to sit back and soak. It was at least an hour before Nas and his manhood were back to normal. 'The things you put me through, Carm,' he sighed."

Jay-Z, who Bryan says she inspired to write "Give It to Me," never had a problem getting amorous, even when he was wasted. "When [he] is inebriated his stamina increases tremendously," she gushes

Nick Lachey has found love again with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, nearly a year after separating from ex-wife Jessica Simpson.

The singer announced his feelings for the MTV presenter at a concert in Las Vegas, Nev., on November 11.

After the 33-year-old stripped down to just a tank top, he announced to the screaming crowd, "Damn it, Las Vegas, I fell in love again!"

The couple have been dating for seven months and celebrated their shared birthday (which was two days earlier) after the concert.

A source tells Us Weekly that Minnillo commissioned a portrait of four generations of Lachey men: an infant Lachey, his father, grandfather and great-grandfather.

The source adds, "It's based on one of Nick's favorite family pictures."

With Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's nuptials merely days away, some of their high-profile pals hopped a plane to Italy on Wednesday.

Expected wedding guests, including Brooke Shields, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, boarded a private jet Wednesday at Burbank Airport.

Meanwhile, Cruise, 44, and Holmes, 27, were spotted at City Hall in Rome on Wednesday.

The couple first arrived in Italy, along with an entourage of 10 people, via private jet on Monday.

Other expected wedding attendees, Victoria and David Beckham, have a shorter distance to travel for the wedding – but are struggling with what gift to get for the bride and groom.

"David and Victoria are still scratching their heads as to what is the perfect present to give them," says a source close to the couple. "It's pretty damn hard finding the ideal gift for Tom and Katie."

The happy couple are scheduled to tie the knot in black-tie ceremony at the medieval, fortress-like Odescalchi Castle on Lake Bracciano, 18 miles northwest of Rome, on Saturday.
