So, the American Idol tour is coming to Vegas this summer, and I'm halfway tempted to get a ticket. Just so I can stalk my pretend boyfriend on the right here. I'm pretty sure he's going to win next week, the guide suggests he's going to win, and well, you know, I can lift my ban on making out with musicians just this once. I'm. Just. Saying. Even if he did sing Switchfoot on Tuesday night, I think I can forgive him.

Dancing With The Stars also ends next week, and it seems like Kristi's taking it over, making her the second woman to ever win the whole thing, and I say good for her. Don't let the hottest two men to ever grace the DWTS stage take away your God-given talent for basically skating without skates, girl! Get that disco ball trophy and work it out!

And, yeah, yeah, we know Brangelina's having twins. Woo. Bodog thinks that the first child she delivers will weigh more than the second at -130. Keep on poppin' those perfect little babies out, Angie.

If it's any surprise, Angelina's having another kid. Or, she might be having twins. Two perfect, superhero kids who will save the world in a single bound. Or something. Bodog thinks it'll either be A Single Girl or Same-Gender Twins at 2/1, but maybe she'll have Mixed-Gender Twins at 5/1? She'll be pooping out angels for the rest of her life anyway.

Dearest Britney,

You're up and down more than... than... I don't know. More than one of those free fall rides at an amusement park. We worry. We've seen what a condition such as yours can do. You used to sing "You drive me crazy," but now you're crazy without anyone having driven you there. While you make for great TV, even on CNN, we're getting a little sick and tired of you being sick. And tired. Or something. Please, just do us all a favor and stay home. And don't have sex with ANYONE!

Love you, mean it!
The HollyWagers Girls

Um, here's what Bodog has for the odds on you having Adnan Ghalib's baby. Yes is at +190, and No is at -290 The No has the number, but that doesn't mean that Britney won't keep heading down this horrible hill of just... horribleness. It's not even that fascinating anymore, and yet I can't stop watching it.

I mean, if you were ending your weekend watching whatever the heck that Golden Globes ceremony was with that annoying Mary Hart announcing some of the winners, it was really an anticlimax to the weekend: Nicole and Christina had their babies. Jessica Simpson wasn't even nowhere near Dallas, and Tony Romo still effed up the football game against the Giants. Britney was cussing at the paparazzi. Again.

But, if you had bet on Daniel Day-Lewis or Julie Christie to win this weekend, you made a couple of bucks. And the Oscar nominations are next Tuesday, so we'll see what the books make of that, considering there may not even be a ceremony if the writers' strike still goes on. But, if there are odds, we'll be on it.

Then again, none of that may even matter at all because, that's right, American Idol starts tomorrow night. It's like Christmas Day all over again.

I have to be honest, when I heard this week that Britney's little 16 year-old sister was pregnant, I laughed a little. I couldn't help it. Don't get me wrong: I do think it's a little disturbing, however not altogether surprising. I mean, this is the same gene pool that brought you such hits as: "Barefoot In The Public Restoom," "The 54 Hour Marriage," "The Worst (And Yet Best) VMA Performance Ever," and "Stabbing Cars With Umbrellas (Ellas-Ellas-Ellas)." You know, amongst other things.

betUS has ever so kindly put up a nice little bunch of Jamie-Lynn props for us to peruse, but my favorite is the "Birds Of A Feather" prop. (To see the props, click on "Future/Props," then "Entertainment Props," then on "Jaime Lynn Spears Props.")

If she'll be pictured pantyless by December 31, 2008 at +500: She may be on the verge of getting fired by Nickelodeon, but I don't think she'll go that far when she gets older. Then again, there is the idea of her looking up to her big sister. And frankly, that gives me shivers.

Will she shave her head by December 31, 2008 at +750: I get the feeling it might be Britney with the crazy streak. Then again, post-partum depression can really get to new mothers, can't it?

Jamie Lynn to have 2 children by the age of 20 at -125: This wouldn't surprise me at all, especially if she gets all caught up with either her current dude or a future dude to be determined in the next 4 years.

Whether or not she'll be in a Paternity suit +400: With the way things are going with the Spearses, I thought this would've had better odds. Seriously. When folks like K-Fed are looking good connected to your family, maybe it's time to step back and take stock of who we're letting into our naughty bits.

Look, we're all just hoping this baby looks like his or her mama. I'm sure Marc has some good qualities, but believe me, I wouldn't want to be inheriting those zombie eyes. A little scary, no?

Bodog has so many odds on this kid, I think we need to break it up a little bit at a time. Not kidding.

This prop is about whether or not the child will be a boy or a girl, with Boy at -110, and Girl at -130. I mean, does Hollywood need another serial bride running around? Seriously? Or will this be a ladies' man? (Or the hottest gay boy on the planet? You never know.)

So there were a couple of props you could've bet on this weekend. Didja make any money?

Serbia (at +350) won the Eurovision song contest, with an oddly dressed pop singer named Marija Serifovic. I'm not sure exactly if she'll ever break through in the States, but bless her heart for representing for a war-ravaged part of the world, right?

The Survivor: Fiji finale was last night, and in a unanimous vote, favorite from the get-go Earl took home the big million. He was even money going into the weekend, so if you'd gotten him, like, in the first week, you would've made a couple of bucks.

And speaking of dudes named Earl (or possibly to be named Earl), BetUS has the odds on a slew of names that Tiger Woods and his wife could call their child, at #1 with a bullet is... you guessed it, Earl at +200. But it'd be a really tear-inducing reason: it was Tiger's late father's name. Aw.

Last week Mel B., aka Scary Spice, had a baby girl who is reported to be Eddie Murphy's kid, since he was the last person she dated when she announced she was preggers.

The fine folks over BetUS have a nice little 2-part prop up on whether or not the funny man will be confirmed to be the father and whether or not he'll even accept the paternity of the little girl.

Out of 5 possible fathers including Scary's ex-husband, Eminem (?), Jay-Z, and a test tube, Eddie's odds are at a nice -120, which can get you a couple of bucks if you felt like putting some money down on it.

Now the real question (and harder bet, I think) is whether or not Eddie will accept the paternity of the kid. Both Yes and No are at -120, but with all the gossip around him dating Babyface's ex-wife right after they broke up, and his storming out of the Oscars after he found out he'd lost, it makes me wonder if he'll step up to the plate and accept paternity just he can make himself look better in the media.

Then again, if he's worried about paying money and being a baby daddy, he might not want to say anything at all. Scary Spice has been out of a job for so long, she might be needing some serious cash to take care of both her children.

With all this baby poppa drama, she should just pay a visit to Maury and have him figure everything out. The world could possibly be a better place with that happening, right? Right. Kick off 2007 right, people!

So our good friends over at Bodog want to know who the court-ordered paternity test will reveal who is the father of cute little Dannielynn:

Larry Birkhead at 4/15: I really want him to be the father, because you know why? He's all about getting even more attention than Anna, and to watch him gloat all over the press would be priceless.
Howard K. Stern at 5/2: Wouldn't this just be the most anti-climactic event out of this whole thing?
Other at 5/1: Other. Hmmm. Methinks it may be the space alien that impregnated Katie Holmes.

Believe it! He and his wife are expecting their first child next year. Now the odds are the same for either sex, but it's always fun to speculate on what it's going to be, or how the child will grow up to be.

Bodog has the odds on what sex the child might be:

Boy is at -120. Now think about it: if this kid is a boy, there's really no question what he's going to be doing for the rest of his life. And Girl is at -120. Then again, if it's a girl, there's a good chance she may just well become the next Michelle Wie and just kick everyone's butts on the course.

Didja bet on Emmet Smith last night? I did. Nice.

Anyway. You know, over in the HollyWagers office, we just can't get enough of Brad and Angelina. Seriously. There's something that's just crazy and fascinating about them. So you know there's always odds up about babies and marriage and whatever. Our lovely friends over at Bodog have put up odds on if they'll annouce they'll be expecting by early November:

Yes is at +300. Now, I don't think it'll happen. I mean, she's more about wanting to adopt children from every country in the world rather than carrying one of her own. And No is at -500, meaning that you could make a nice buck if you think it's not going to happen by then.

Lots of stuff going on this week, but today the rumor going around is that Scary Spice, Mel B, was spotted in a West Hollywood lingerie shop boasting about how she's 4 months pregnant with boyfriend Eddie Murphy's child. They haven't made a public announcment yet, but Bodog already has your odds on when the annoucement's going to be made.

Yes +120
No -160

I'd say if she's talking about it, and they're getting more coverage about getting married, something's up. He's already got 5, she's got 1, let's just have ourselves a litter and have a drink.

She's got another one, another one, heading into the world in September. So what's going to be her attention-grabbing stunt with the next whippersnapper to emerge from the pop diva's loins? Sports Interaction speculates on what Britney's next stunt will be:

Hang them from a window by their legs @ +15000
Helmet-less motorcycles rides @ +5000
Two words: Speed Boat @ +2000
Let K-Fed babysit @ +120

I'm sure you heard the whole story yesterday about how Tom Cruise couldn't get any magazines to pay $4 million for pictures of baby Suri. Sad, right? But I'm sure any of the lovely online gossip and celebrity blogs would glady put them up for free, right? Bodog's rolled out the best of the best on the odds of which online celebrity blog will feature the first pics of the crazy baby.

US Weekly Online is 3/1, AOL powerhouse gossip site TMZ is 4/1 (who knew AOL would take over the gossip world? Jesus), and sister sites Gawker and Defamer are 5/1 and 7/1, respectively.

We'll put them up here for some free, high-grade sushi. Wussup, Tom and Katie? I'm down with the yellowtail.

Angelina and Brad want to adopt another child. This time from a country that needs attention and aid. Bodog has a bunch of countries listed, mostly African.

Nigeria has the best odds at 4/1. Botswana and Ghana are right behind at 5/1. Sierra Leone and Zambia are at 6/1, and Zimbabwe's at 7/1.

But there's also a chance that they'll adopt from a country that's not African, so keep that in mind when making your choice on how much you want to bet.

Celebrities are funny, aren't they?

Yesterday, she was photographed coming out of a yoga class with a bit of a bump. Bodog asks: Will Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban annouce she's pregnant by July 14th?

Yes is at -155
No is at +115

Didja bet no on David Blaine? You probably didn't get any killer cash, but it was something.

And then there's Anna Nicole. Now that she has a right to her dead ex-husband's money from the Supreme Court, the rumors are swirling that she's pregnant. The fine folks at Bodog ask you: Will she announce the pregnancy by June 30th?

Yes is at -135.
No is at -105.

Which means your better bet is the no. But, you know how Hollywood gets: she might just hole herself up until the actually has the kid. Or she might just be so jacked up that she can't even have a kid at this point. Get in on the good times, yo.

You better believe it's true. There's a bun in the oven for the two hottest people on the planet. (Well, for me, Angelina's the hottest person ever born. But I digress.) Over at BetOnSports, they're taking bets on what the names will be for the new tyke. You have Maddox and Zahara for a brother and sister, so what's the next name? On the front page, under "Specials," there's a link right to the numbers. While the best odds are on "Brad Jr." or "Angelina" (which, despite the whole family looking pretty normal in papparazzi pictures so far is a stretch, it wouldn't surprise me) the worst odds are on "Louis de Pointe du Lac" (you know, from Interview With The Vampire?) and the oh-so-adorable SportsInteraction.com. Aw. A fun bet for after you win at the Golden Globes.

...and speaking of those lovely Globes, the show is this coming Monday, January 16th. we've put together a complete betting guide for Bodog's numbers on the nominees. This weekend is your last chance to get your money in. Are those office pools not enough action for you? Make a little more money! When you use our links to Bodog, if you sign up and deposit $25, they'll match $25 into your account. $50 is a nice chunk to play around with, so get to it!

At least once a week, there's a new story about how Beyoncé and Jay-Z got married in a secret wedding, and now she's pregnant. Now, I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, look at the timing: Hova's trying to move his basketball team, the Nets, into Brooklyn; he's basically retired from music and is the big man over at Def Jam. Beyoncé's free now that Destiny's Child has split. I mean, seriously, their careers have been made, let's get settled and have babies.

Over at Sports Interaction, you can play along with the guessing game. Under "Specials," click on "Beyoncé and Jay-Z's Destiny" and scroll down to "Beyoncé & Jay-Z - Parents 2 B?" to see the numbers.

Come on, it's too easy to bet on "Baby Boy." (Now you got that song stuck in your head, suckas!) I don't even want to comment on "Baby named Destiny." BOO. I think the real action is when the birth is: the best odds are between April-June of next year at 2.50-- that means if B is pregnant right now, and has been pregnant for a couple of months already, you'll get a decent return. But it seems more likely that between July-September of next year is more likely, even at 5.00. $10 would get you $50-- not bad at all, I say.

Either way, I think the kid'll probably be the next generation's Lauren Hill. No joke.

Now, Bodog's got some odds up on whether Janet's going to confess about the "secret" daughter she had with James DeBarge back in the 80's.

If you've seen the pictures (there's one here), the resemblence is a little uncanny.

Janet's rep didn't deny it-- just an official "no comment." Shady?

And what about Jermaine Dupri? What if he and Janet tie the knot? Can he even handle being a stepdad all of a sudden? Or maybe there'll be a new So So Def album about the new family. And Uncle Michael can guest on it.
