Octomom Is In More Trouble--Apparently Endangering Children

On Wednesday's Today show, Gloria Allred -- an attorney for Angels in Waiting, which had provided a free nanny service to Nadya Suleman -- lashed at the octuplet mother, claiming she only cares about her babies "when the cameras are rolling."

Earlier this week, Suleman, 33, fired Angels in Waiting, alleging that they were spying on her and reporting her to child welfare officials.

"Nadya, unfortunately, is taking things out of context," Allred said on the Today show. "The whole issue is an issue of security. Our nurses were rightfully concerned about security. After all, Nadya had told the world where she lives, when those babies are coming home. As a result, hundreds of reporters came. Her home is easily locatable on the Internet as a result of her doing daily blogs."

Allred said two intruders even came onto her property in La Habra, Calif.

"In one case, she had one of our nannies call 911 to report the intruder because she was concerned she had done too many 911 calls," she said, adding that in a separate incident, another nurse was allowed into Suleman's home without showing any identification.

A "baby could be abducted," Allred said, but Suleman didn't seem to care.

"Instead of improving security, she puts in her own jacuzzi," Allred said.

Despite Suleman's objections, nurses from Angels in Waiting rightfully made three complaints to Child Protective Services against Suleman, Allred said.

"Nurses are mandated reporters under the law," she said. "If a nurse sees a child is endangered... they are legally required to report that to authorities."

Asked if Suleman's babies are in danger, Allred said, "In the nurses' view, yes. That is why they filed three reports."

Allred, who plans to hold a press conference later today, said she and the nurses wanted Suleman to succeed.

"How can she succeed if she is subjecting her babies to potential risks of harm, if she doesn't come into the nursery to feed her own babies, to hold them, to bathe them, to change them, to love them, to bond with them.... except when the cameras are rolling?" Allred asked. "That's wrong."

Brad Pitt And Natalie Portman To Star Together In Romantic Comedy

The stars of usually serious fare like The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and The Other Boleyn Girl are coupling up for the funnybone-targeting 'Important Artifacts."

Based on an upcoming novel, the story unfolds via a Sotheby's-style estate auction catalog, in which items on the block are linked to the private moments that make up the four-year relationship between a fortysomething photographer and a twentysomething New York Times food columnist.

According To Variety, Portman and Pitt will also serve as producers.

Portman is slated to next headline Jim Sheridan's drama "Brothers" after she wraps the comedy "Love and Other Pursuits."

Pitt, meanwhile, just wrapped Quentin Tarantino's World War II epic, "Inglourious Basterds", and Terence Malick's "The Tree of Life."

It Looks Like "Little Fockers" Movie Is A Go

Fans of "Meet the Parents" and "Meet the Fockers" can get excited, as it looks like a third film is on to film this summer.

I'm told the cast of "Little Fockers" -- sequel to "Meet the Fockers" -- has been set for an early July start date.

This means everyone -- Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner.

It also means Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, who played Stiller's parents in chapter two are being paged for the next edition.

The title suggests more than one baby for Stiller and Polo's characters.

No word when "Little Fockers" would come out or if Barbra Streisand if definitely in.

Robert Pattinson Thinks About Taking On New Role

Twilight star Robert Pattinson reportedly is mulling over getting involoved in a hot-blooded romance with a script rewritten by the screenwriter behind Rachel Getting Married.

Memoirs is about new lovers who may or may not get together as they're both beset by family tragedy.

The film, from an original screenplay, is being handled by Summit Entertainment, the same studio behind 22-year-old Pattinson's first vampire flick and its eagerly awaited coming sequel, New Moon.

Also in talks to helm the movie is Allen Coulter, who directed Hollywoodland.

Dancing With Stars Says Goodbye To Denise Richards

Who deserved the boot Tuesday on Dancing With the Stars?

As it turned out, it was elimination with a capital E! Tuesday, with the title star of Denise Richards: It's Complicated being forced into a dance-off with The Girls Next Door babe Holly Madison. (E! Online and E! Entertainment are both divisions of Comcast Entertainment Group.)

We doubt the 18 she and Dmitry Chaplin earned on tonight's samba redo was enough to redirect any momentum, but Holly survived nonetheless, taking her one extra point all the way to next week.

So, despite improving upon last night's samba by four points to climb into the realm of week-three respectability with a 20, that was it for Denise and partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

"My daughters love my dancing," said the smiling actress, who graciously opted to look on the bright side. "It's been fun, I'm a huge fan of the show and I will continue to be so, and it's fun being on the other side."

Her ouster (and Holly's close call) means that America put the whoa in Wozniak by voting to keep Steve "Laid the Foundation for the iPhone" Wozniak and Karina Smirnoff around for another week despite their lowest-of-the-low score of 10 on their samba.

"I am more shocked than at any time in my life except maybe when I got served with divorce papers," the relentlessly jolly Apple Computer cofounder said.

They weren't even in the bottom two, despite the judges' best efforts: "The novelty wears off at some point," Carrie Ann Inaba said Monday, while Bruno Tonioli advised Steve-W to get on his knees and "beg forgiveness."

Also given the go-ahead were the Pee-wee Herman-channeling Steve-O and his partner, Lacey Schwimmer, who has at least one more week to whip her broken-down daredevil into fighting shape.

Easily safe for the time being were the trio of couples who tied for first place after earning 27s for their respective performances—Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani, Gilles Marini and Cheryl Burke, and Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas.
