Hiya folks, and for those of you who are new to my sunny-sided & sometimes-scandalous spin of the wonderful world of Holly-weird, I bid you a warm welcome. For longtime diehards of my international reportage, welcome HOME!

Who needs Kevin Bacon, when I am here to be your One Degree of Separation from all things showbiz. News, schmooze, reviews and of course...YOUR point of views, too! So ladies, strap on the stilettoes and gents, shine your shoes...let's take a stroll down the virtual red carpet.

It's already a steamy summer in Tinseltown with giant blockbuster sequels dominating the box office. Pirates, Ogres, Superheroes and Wizards are everywhere you look. It may be wintertime Down Under, but don't let that keep you from the cinematic sizzle. There seems to be something for everyone at this time of year and for good clean fun, you won't be able to beat HAIRSPRAY, LICENSE TO WED or NANCY DREW. I enjoyed them all, so now I'll wait to hear what you have to say. And if you have any questions for me, by all means fire away. I interview lots of the biggest names in the world of Entertainment, so I can offer you a unique insider's perspective on what makes them tick.

Keeping fit is always de rigeur in L.A., of course, so I've been trying to put extra time in at the gym. It's a great place to star-gaze--better than Rodeo Drive! Just this week I've sweated next to an array ranging from Ludacris to Mindy ("Facts of Life") Cohn. And if all else fails, I can always hit the hyperbaric oxygen chamber like Madonna or try out the "BodyMelt" which claims to "provide immediate inch loss" on your abdominals or butt. Who needs invasive lipo!?

Of course, some of the beach bods we see so much of rely strictly on good genes and exercise. But frankly, I'm getting a little bored with Matthew McConaughey flaunting his Adonis-like Surfer's shape on us. And don't you find it a little suspicious that his hairline seems to be getting lower and lower with age? When I met him a few months ago, he insisted on doing a set of push ups before we began our interview. Maybe to pump himself up for the chat? Imagine if I did a few laps around the Hair & Make Up room before every interview, LOL.

Congrats to Julia Roberts & hubby Danny Moder on Baby #3. Little Henry Daniel joins older sibs Hazel and Phinneus to make a family team that will soon be giving the Brangelina brood a run for their money! And, judging by the looks of them, Naomi Watts and Salma Hayek are going to be welcoming some big, bouncing babies very very soon! I'm glad to see a few well adjusted showbiz families that aren't as dysfunctional as the Simpsons, Lohans, Spears and Hiltons. "Uncle Nelson's Campaign to Clean Up Young Hollywood" is a never ending battle.
