Oh, that's Drew Barrymore on the far right. We guess she's a part of this photo finish too. But that full-length dress / jumpsuit is a tad much, don't you think? We think.

Let's shift our focus, then to Lauren Conrad (left) and Jamie Lynn Spears (center), both of whom recently made public appearances and went with a wholesome, girlish look in the form of their respective plaid, sweetly patterned sundresses.

As she proved with your praise of her short-shorts and suspenders look, the cute star of MTV's The Hills can make just about anything work. We suspect you will think the same of her plaid dress in this celebrity fashion spotlight.

As for Jamie Lynn Spears? Well, being the younger sister of Britney Spears immediately gives her an advantage in that she's not flashing any inappropriate body parts in this picture. With no nipple slip in sight, Jamie Lynn already looks classy by contrast.

Then again, Jamie Lynn Spears' parents' names are (really) Jamie and Lynne Spears. That might just disqualify her right there. It'd be as if LC's folks where named Lauren and Conrad.

So you tell us, celebrity fashion fans. Who wore plaid the best… and who should plaid the fifth? Sorry, that was a truly awful play on words. But you get the point. Leave a comment!

THG NOTE: Incidentally, Lauren Conrad's middle name is Katherine.

We've talked ad nauseum about celebrity baby entities such as Suri Cruise and Jayden James Federline - bundles of joy so shrouded in mystery that we are left wondering if they're even real.

Ditto for pregnancy rumors swirling around Nicole Richie, Shar Jackson, Holly Madison, Kate Walsh, Gisele Bundchen and surely many more. We love speculating if celebs have been knocked up or not.

But as Julia Roberts showed us yesterday, there's nothing like a good old fashioned celebrity baby birth, controversy-free.

That said, Waitress star Keri Russell and her new husband, Shane Deary, welcomed their first child, a son, her rep confirms.

One day after Henry Daniel Moder was announced to the world, River Russell Deary was announced by Keri and Shane. Although he was actually born June 9.

Russell, 31, who gained fame on TV's Felicity, announced her pregnancy in January and wed Shane Deary in February - the usual progression of events for celebrities these days.

She previously told People magazine of her pregnancy, "I'm one of the lucky ones... It's a big, life-changing experience, and we're excited."

Amen. Congrats, Keri, from all of us at The Hollywood Gossip.

The Hollywood Gossip has no frickin' idea.

Why is Britney Spears unable to keep the straps of her top on the way they are supposed to fit? Why does she flash her bad ass and cup her breasts with such regularity? When did getting dressed become so hard for 25-year-olds? We may never know.

This not your standard wardrobe malfunction, folks. The only malfunctioning here is taking place in the vortex that was once the mind of a once-idolized pop star and sexual icon. The result, Britney Spears nipple slip, Take 423, is pictured below ….

At this point, Jayden James Federline probably has an easier time putting clothes on than does his insane, train wreck mom. Which can be seen as both good and bad.

We hate to say it, but this is getting a tad old. Just for a change of pace, Britney, can you and your cute cousin, Alli Sims, both show some skin next time? She's a cutie!

Those people who think Isaiah Washington is homophobic are mistaken.

He's homophobic and a self-righteous lunatic.

The former Grey's Anatomy star is moving on with his life in the wake of being released from the ABC show, following his gay slur against T.R. Knight that set off a media firestorm. In the actor's future? Africa... and perhaps martyrdom like the world has never seen.

"In the coming months, all I'm working on right now is trying to focus on day-to-day life and what I'm doing with the foundation, what I'm doing with the family," Washington told People magazine. "It starts at the home."

The actor is more self-involved than Tom Cruise talking about postpartum depression. Granted, he's chairman of the Gondobay Manga Foundation, which works to improve life in Sierra Leone - and he's traveled to various parts of Africa multiple times for charity work - but the man may have lost a bit of perspective along the way.

"Once you get awareness of who you are and how you're here, then I believe there's a responsibility that you have," Washington said. "And seeing that I can afford to take part in that, I have to be responsible."

That's nice and all. But we wish the actor had stopped there, instead of making Elisabeth Hasselbeck sound like a rational person.

Asked if there were any misconceptions about him, Isaiah said: "I don't know. Maybe for 50 years and the history of media and television I represent something that's supposed to not exist. ... This happened to Malcolm X, this happened to Paul Robeson" this misconception can happen to any man of power that loves himself and wants to spread that love and that humanity throughout the world."

The Hollywood Gossip staff wasn't aware that an African-American who hates gay people was so rare, so special. The comparison to Malcom X is almost as spot on as saying that Jessica Simpson is a modern day Joan of Arc.

Julia Roberts is showing other celebrities just how this baby thing is done.

While Kate Walsh and Holly Madison are merely rumored to be pregnant, this gorgeous actress is popping out kids left and right.

Earlier today, Roberts welcomed her third child, a boy named Henry Daniel Moder.

He was born in Los Angeles and weighed 8½ lbs. As Henry joins twins Hazel and Phinnaeus in the Moder clan, Julia's rep, Marcy Engleman, says everyone "is doing great."

And we're thrilled to hear that. Too many stars these days receive attention for dressing and acting like idiots (hi, Britney Spears) or posing nude at all costs (put on some clothing, Katie Price).

It's great to see a class act such as Roberts simply live a happy, normal life.

Move over, Kate Walsh. We know your fiance is rubbing your belly, but we've got much smaller, more anemic fish to fry in the celebrity pregnancy rumor department.

Here Nicole Richie is, glowing and possibly growing, and hiding her face behind some sort of doggy bag, during a recent trip for some sushi.

It appears that unless she's suddenly developed a hankering for cheap domestic beer, someone got Nicole Richie pregnant. Check out that beer gut and/or baby bump!

The countdown continues to the shocking, tearful announcement that Miss Nicole Richie is pregnant, possibly engaged to Joel Madden, OMG like real sorry for that DUI, and does not wish to replace Paris Hilton in the slammer.

We don't know what's more frightening... that a fossil like Hugh Hefner can bed Playboy models like Holly Madison (and that his boys can still swim), or that someone in his right mind would actually give Nicole Richie the hot beef injection.

Let's just hope he was giving it to her wheelbarrow style. Rumor has it that it's easier to knock someone up that way. Gravity is on your side!

The celebrity gossip mill is turning out one pregnancy rumor after another these days.

Scariest of all, of course, is the prospect that skeletal famous person, Nicole Richie, might actually be knocked up with Joel Madden's love child. Questions are already abounding regarding which would weigh more: the mother-to-be or the fetus?

Meanwhile, Hugh Hefner's top girlfriend might also be preggers. Playboy insiders are denying it, but Holly Madison has made no secret over the fact that she wants to bear the ancient stud a baby. We're having trouble picturing Kendra Wilkinson as an aunt, though.

Now, Kate Walsh appears to be throwing her tummy into the celebrity pregnancy ring. Here is the Private Practice star with fiance Alex Young and - gasp! - he's got his hand on her stomach.

This can mean one of three things:

1. The actress will be squeezing out her own little Jayden James any month now.
2. Walsh has grown inspired by the attention former co-star Katherine Heigl has received for her role in Knocked Up and wants to emulate the film in real life.
3. Young is merely hugging his lovely woman from behind.

Which do you think it is? While The Hollywood Gossip staff leans toward harmless option number-three, Kim Kardashian begs to differ. How come?

Because her experiences involving any show of affection from behind certainly don't look like this.

After taking most of Sunday off, The Hollywood Gossip staff is pleased to learn, upon its return to the office, that Britney Spears remains a beacon of sanity, class and maturity.

The troubled pop princess popped into a Beverly Hills salon to get a French-tipped manciure to complement her trashy bleach blonde hair extensions, reports TMZ. Upon leaving the premises, Britney Spears showed off her hot new nails… one of them in particular.

No word on why the photographer who got this money shot of Britney was saluted in such a manner. Maybe he tried to snap some Jayden James pictures? Or made a wise crack about Spears getting the wheelbarrow treatment from the great J.R. Rotem?

In any case, we can only wonder why Brit so adores her Tom Cruise style shades… or whether she is wearing any panties at the time this picture was snapped, yo.

What, Jessica Simpson worry?

So what if John Mayer dumped her?

Who cares if recent album sales have tanked?

Why think twice if ex-husband Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are closer than ever?

When you can wear a t-shirt that's made for a six-year old and stick those giant boobs in everyone's face, life is good. Fame will continue.

After all, as Lucy Pinder can attest to, all you need is an impressive set of knockers to stay in the spotlight.

Either those, or random letters of advice to celebrities you don't know.

Ah, the glory that is Spencer Pratt. The slimy one's ambition love for Heidi Montag knows no bounds, and his greed passion for life is incomparable.

Sitting at a cafe next to his plastic fiance, have successfully engineered a staged engagement as a publicity stunt, Spencer Pratt can't help but dream about his future with Miss Montag... or the money he can make off it.

As for Heidi Montag herself, she's got things on her mind as well. Not too many at one time - an airhead can only process so much - but she's got big dreams of her own, people.

The former roomie and BFF of Lauren Conrad has been there, done that when it comes to getting plastic surgery, preening for the cameras, saying "like" every other word and strutting around for "spontaneous" bikini photos.

What Heidi Montag she really wants is her own nude Playboy spread.

Hey, if Amanda Beard nude can instantly become the talk of the Hollywood Gossip world, imagine what kind of buzz a buck naked Heidi could generate: The Hills uncovered!

Whether we actually get to see this or not remains to be seen. But there's little doubt that the celebrity gossip world's most hated couple is thinking about it.
