In an incident that surely wasted more taxpayer money, Nadya Suleman reportedly rushed one of her octuplets to a hospital after he wouldn’t stop crying.

Radar Online reports that around 2:30 p.m. PST, Octomom was concerned after Makai continued to cry and she noticed a bump on the side of his abdomen.

She worried that he had a hernia, so Nadya took the baby to Bellflower medical center where he was born. Doctors examined Makai and said he was fine.

How did Octomom handle the crisis?

“I stayed calm,” Nadya Suleman said.

When you sponge off of society and aren't even responsible for earning your own living, we imagine it's fairly easy to maintain grace under pressure.

Every day is an adventure for the mother of 14.

In other Nadya Suleman news, while there's already going to be an Octomom TV show starring the waste of space herself, a local theater is reportedly going to be putting on - how we wish we were kidding - an Octomom musical!

Currently casting, the OctoMusical is looking for someone who is "funny" and "whimsical" and can cram 14 babies into her womb command authority.

The musical is set to open at a small theater in L.A. in June. We can't wait until the climactic scene when taxpayers revolt and burn her at the stake.

For many men that watch the Kim Kardashian sex tape, certain body parts often go up.

But when it comes to this vixen's new, lighter hair color, we give her two thumbs down. Way, way down.

After all, Kardashian has been known for her dark locks almost as much as her sexy curves. For unexplained reasons, however, Kim has chosen to undergo a dye job.

What do you think? Is blonde beautiful on this busty babe? Or did brown make you wanna go to town (on her)?

Do you like Kim Kardashian's new hair color?

** Update: Kim has posted on her blog that this is actually a wig, not a new hair color. Still, in case she ever does dye her locks for real, the question above is worth asking.

If new dating rumors are true, you're about to be shoved aside by Taylena!

The tween world is abuzz this week with talk that Taylor Lautner has been spotted getting cozy in Vancouver Selena Gomez.

OMG! Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez might be the next young, hot couple!

Lautner, who is best known for playing Jacob Black in the Twilight franchise, has been shooting New Moon in that city over the last month. Gomez, meanwhile, is in town for Ramona and Beezus, a big screen adaption of a popular book series.

According to E! News, the young twosome went to Caffe Artigiano last week for a coffee date.

"They were very low-key and kept to themselves," a witness said. "Nobody bothered them."

Another source said the burgeoning lovers also had dinner at a local restaurant, Old Spaghetti Factory, over the weekend.

What do you think, readers? Would this be just the coolest, cutest, most delicious couple in Hollywood history?

Casey Aldridge - father of Jamie Lynn Spears' 10-month-old daughter Maddie, and the star's fiancee - was injured in a car accident Sunday morning in Louisiana.

Aldridge lost control of his F-150 truck and it went off the shoulder of a road. He is currently in stable condition at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Mississippi. Jamie Lynn Spears rushed to the hospital to be at his side.

According to Louisiana State Troopers, three of the five individuals riding in Aldridge's truck were ejected from the vehicle, and Casey himself was one of them.

Cops say that while Casey was heading north on the 606 in Louisiana Sunday morning, he swerved off the right side of the road and into a ditch, then over-corrected his turn back onto the pavement, causing the car to flip.

During the flip, three people - including Casey - were ejected.

Fortunately for Maddie and Jamie, it looks like Casey is okay.

The two others who were ejected refused medical treatment at the scene, while Casey Aldridge was taken to the Riverside Medical Center in Ferriday, La.

He was treated there for "moderate injuries."

As for whether alcohol was a factor, cops didn't speak to Casey Aldridge for nearly four hours after the crash - due to his injuries and hospitalization - and when they did, they found no reason to suspect he had been drinking.

Casey nevertheless was charged with careless operation of a motor vehicle - a misdemeanor - and is currently recovering from his injuries.

We're just glad, for the sake of the Spears family and Casey's family, that everyone is okay. Hopefully he will learn from this experience.

Alleged Craigslist killer Philip Markoff broke down during a visit to his family, saying to "forget about [him]" and that there's "more coming out" - meaning either victims or evidence against him in the crimes he's already charged with.

The shocking outpouring came as Markoff spent the weekend meeting with his parents, Richard Markoff and Susan Haynes, and brother Jonathan and his wife, Deanna, all of whom visited him at a Boston jail with his lawyer, John Salsberg.

Salsberg refused to discuss his client’s mental state, but said that: “Philip’s brother and sister-in-law both are very happy they had a chance to see him. They love him dearly. They continue to remain very supportive to him.”

The 23-year-old upstate New York native remains on suicide watch in an isolated cell. Philip Markoff had “markings on his neck consistent with trying to hang himself” and that correction officers have been on high alert.

The medical student stands accused of seeking out women who advertised erotic services on Craigslist, robbing them, and fatally shooting Julissa Brisman, 25.

Some who knew him wonder if his brash, intense and occasionally off-putting behavior is a piece with the portrait that authorities are now painting.

In other news, the August 14 dream wedding on the Jersey shore between the accused sociopath and his fiancée, Megan McAllister, has been called off "for now," according to the leader of what would have been their wedding band.

It was bound to happen.

The Spencer Pratt-Heidi Montag wedding may have gotten all the attention, but over in Europe, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault - who quietly married at City Hall in Paris on Valentine's Day - also walked down the aisle again Saturday.

The two wed on the second floor at the Teatro La Fenice, an opera house in Venice, Italy, where guests arrived by boat, with Venitian masks covering their faces.

Among the celeb attendees: Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem, Ashley Judd, Antonio Banderas and wife Melanie Griffith, Woody Harrelson and Edward Norton.

Lilies, orchids and other blooms were delivered earlier in the day, so the wedding of Francois-Henri Pinault and Salma Hayek had a strong floral scent.

A five-course reception banquet took place after the ceremony.

The weekend celebration began with a rehearsal dinner at historic Punta Della Dogana. Guests at the masked ball included former French president Jacques Chirac and wife Bernadette and Charlize Theron and her beau, Stuart Townsend.

Asked about her feelings for her Francois-Henri Pinault, Salma Hayek, 42, told April's In Style, "He's the best." Truly moving praise if it ever existed.

After three years of courtship, publicity stunts and whoring themselves to any celeb gossip magazine willing to pay, Heidi Montag is officially Mrs. Spencer Pratt.

The Hills' infamous couple got married - for real this time - in a sunset ceremony at the Westminster Presbyterian Church in Pasadena, Calif., on Saturday.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, 22 and 25 respectively, exchanged their cue cards vows before 200 guests, including Hills co-stars Audrina Patridge, Justin-Bobby, Lo Bosworth and Brody Jenner, Kristin Cavallari, and Frankie Delgado.

Heidi's estranged former BFF, Lauren Conrad, had a change of heart and attended the festivities, but made a quick exit from the church following the ceremony.

The wedding party comprised Heidi's sister Holly Montag and Spencer's sis, Stephanie Pratt, both of whom were dressed in matching floor-length, yellow, silk chiffon gowns, while the groom was joined by two nonceleb friends.

Despite "security concerns," everything seems to have gone well:

The plastic bride wore over $1 million in jewels from designer Neil Lane, including a pear-shaped diamond floral necklace with multiple diamond chains layered over it, diamond earrings and diamond hairpins.

The groom borrowed a pair of diamond cufflinks from the jeweler for the big day and even shaved for the occasion. They arrived in a white Rolls Royce Phantom.

Before the ceremony, which was of course captured by MTV cameras, a plane flew overhead and wrote "Spencer loves Heidi" in the sky (see photo after the jump).

Pratt pointed out the planes which were now going to write "Heidi's No. 1 Hit on iTunes." Hey, nothing wrong with a shameless plug, even on your wedding day.

Spencer Pratt looked dapper in a black suit, smiling and signing autographs for fans outside the church as Montag posted updates on Twitter throughout the day.

Henry Ian Cusick probably wishes he could channel his character, Desmond Hume and - Lost spoiler alert! - go back in time to change this one.

A former ABC Entertainment employee filed a harassment and sexual battery claim against the Lost star Friday, claiming the Scottish actor groped her and made inappropriate sounds and gestures in October '07 on the show's Hawaii set.

Plaintiff Chelsea Stone alleges that, on or about October 16, Cusick "placed his hand on her buttocks" and caressed her back "while making moaning sounds."

The 42-year-old actor then put his face in her cleavage and wagged his head back and forth, according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.

Cusick then touched her breasts with his hands and kissed her on the mouth, the accusations state. See ya in another courtroom, aye, brotha?

Stone says ABC and production company Grass Skirt Entertainment, also named as defendants, did nothing to keep Cusick away, even after she complained, and in the next few days the star and fellow employees became "very hostile" toward her.

On October 28, 2007, Stone was informed she had been fired.

Per the lawsuit, "Plaintiff suffered humiliation and severe mental and emotional distress, and suffered injury when, by means of stress, Plaintiff miscarried."

Cusick's rep would not comment on the lawsuit, which seeks damages for "physical injuries, sickness, substantial losses in earnings, and other indignities."

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo, who recently announced she and husband Chris Ivery are expecting, showed off the beginnings of a baby bump - and her two adorable pet poodles Valentino and Gigi - while visiting a friend in Hollywood.

She's pretty cute as pregnant people go ...

How Ellen's pregnancy will be written into Grey's Anatomy, if it is at all, remains to be seen. Will Dr. Meredith Grey become pregnant also? Will the actress take a leave of absence? Will the producers use camera tricks or other ploys?

The latter appears to be the producers' choice for Pompeo's pregnant co-star Chyler Leigh, whose character, Lexie, was nervously stuffing her face last episode.

Such a technique has also been pioneered on How I Met Your Mother, while Gossip Girl opts for the neck-up and overdressed approach for Kelly Rutherford.

Jewelers who lent Rihanna approximately $1.4 million worth of accessories the night of the alleged Chris Brown smackdown apparently want it back.

Since late March, Rihanna has been trying to recover the borrowed jewelry from the LAPD, who took the items into evidence in their investigation.

"Since there appears to be no evidentiary value to the continued holding of this jewelry, we respectfully ask the court to order the return of this property to [Rihanna] without further delay," her lawyer Donald Etra wrote in a court request.

The items: two yellow metal hoop earrings with white stones; one yellow metal ring with white and green stones; two yellow metal rings with white stones.

A source adds that Rihanna also borrowed a Gucci dress for the February 7 Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Party she attended, which also has not been returned.

Etra stated in the court documents that the owners of the jewelry were going to hold Rihanna liable if the accessories weren't returned, with the total cost and damages related to their late return as more than $1.4 million.

According to the court papers, the LAPD detective on the case referred Etra to the prosecutor on the case, who apparently has not responded to his requests.

"At this stage [of the Chris Brown case], we're not even sure what evidence is going to be entered into the case," DA spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said.

"For now, we don't have any further comment on this matter."

The LAPD also declined to comment. Brown, who has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges, assault and criminal threats, has a court date Wednesday.
