Beyonce‘s just-revealed pregnancy could impact another “birth.”

Now that she and Jay-Z are expecting their first child, Beyonce will likely need to delay filming on the Clint Eastwood version of A Star Is Born, which had been slated to begin early next year.

There’s been no indication, though, that Beyonce intends to drop out of the project.

Previous versions of the story have included the 1976 Barbra Streisand-Kris Kristofferson film.

No male lead has been chosen to play opposite Beyonce.

Despite Perez Hilton‘s characteristic confusion, A Star Is Born has nothing to do with J. Edgar Hoover.

We’re told the two new brides enjoyed each other’s company.

Prince William and Kate met Hollywood royalty last night.

Kate, dressed in a lilac-colored Alexander McQueen gown, and Prince William, sporting black tie, arrived shortly after 8 p.m. at the recently renovated Belasco theater in L.A. for the inaugural “BAFTA Brits to Watch” gala, an event to introduce 42 emerging British actors, writers and other creative types to Hollywood’s top talent and decision makers.

Prince William, who serves as the president of BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts), joked at the gala dinner, ”I would like to thank Colin Firth for my perfect opening line — I have a voice,” referring to the famous line from The King’s Speech about Britain’s King George VI, the prince’s great-grandfather.

William added, “When American and British creative talent gets together, magic happens. Let’s continue the winning formula.”

Seated at Prince William and Kate’s table were Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, Nicole Kidman, and a number of studio executives.

Also at the event were Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Jennifer Lopez, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Garner, Blake Lively, Paul Rudd, Dana Delany, Jack Black, Elizabeth Banks, Chris Evans, and Jonah Hill.

At this point, no one needs more evidence that Perez Hilton is terrible at his job.

But this gaffe was just too good to let slide.

“Talk about random!” blurts the blogger.

He writes, “Clint Eastwood is working with Beyonce to get Leonardo DiCaprio on board with his new biopic, A Star is Born. The musical, which will cover the life of J Edgar Hoover, has been in the works at Warner Bros. for several years now.”

Oh, Perez.

Perez, Perez, Perez.

Seriously?

In his reality-challenged haze of cutting and pasting, the blogger somehow managed to confuse Eastwood’s gritty movie about legendary FBI director Hoover – which DiCaprio already filmed months ago – with… the love story of a singer once portrayed by Barbra Streisand.

Wow.

They are separate projects.

Separate.

Projects.

While we’re sure Beyonce would be great in a musical version of J. Edgar Hoover’s life… um, that movie’s not happening.

Sorry, Perez.

Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand will reportedly star in the road trip comedy My Mother’s Curse.

The duo would play a mother and son who embark on a cross-country journey together. The project has been in development for years, with Rogen and Streisand first offered the roles last summer.

Anne Fletcher, who helmed the smash The Proposal, is set to direct, according to THR.

Rogen is currently starring in The Green Hornet, while Streisand’s Little Fockers is also playing in theaters.

Clint Eastwood will reportedly direct Beyonce in A Star is Born.

The pop superstar, whose acting career has already included singing roles in Dreamgirls and Cadillac Records, will supposedly star in the Hollywood legend’s upcoming musical, according to Deadline.

There is no word on who would play the male lead.

Gossip Cop is working to confirm the report.

Previous versions of the film include the 1976 film that starred Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.

Dustin Hoffman is a stubborn Focker, but a Focker nevertheless.

The actor has reportedly agreed to reprise his Meet The Fockers role for Little Fockers, the third film in the Meet The Parents series.

Hoffman, who plays Ben Stiller‘s character’s father, had been resistant to the idea of coming back for the so-called “threequel,” but he’s finally signed on for the Bernie Focker role again.

Barbra Streisand is already returning as his wife.

The production, which was already shot, will film several full scenes in September to incorporate Hoffman’s character.

The couple played by Stiller and Teri Polo have (surprise!) children in the latest installment, which is scheduled for a December 22 release.

Are you looking forward to Little Fockers?

Jennifer Aniston has sparked controversy by using the word “retard” during a “Live with Regis and Kelly” interview on Thursday.

When Regis Philbin told the actress, “You’re playing dress up,” in reference to the recent photo layout in which she mimics Barbra Streisand, Aniston responded, “Yes, I play dress up! I do it for a living, like a retard!”

The star’s insensitive slip was met with strong criticism from viewers and advocacy groups. While Aniston didn’t use the word with any malice, it obviously crossed the line of good taste.

Many people think Aniston owes an apology for her remark, while others believe she should get a pass for being careless.

What do you think?

About six weeks ago, Gossip Cop (once again) corrected OK! magazine, which inaccurately claimed Jennifer Aniston gave a “startling frank interview for a fall issue of a monthly U.S.-based women’s magazine” about how “she will do everything in her power to have a baby ‘as soon as possible.’”

At the time, we correctly reported she “didn’t speak to a magazine about wanting to have a baby,” but rather was going to “pay tribute to an icon” with a photo shoot.

That icon is Barbra Streisand, and Aniston’s transformation into the Hollywood legend – from her roles in Funny Girl to What’s Up, Doc? – is now in the pages of Harper’s Bazaar.

Aniston also gives the glossy an interview in which she recalls meeting Streisand for the first time.

“I’ve loved her since I was a kid, and all of a sudden there she is, and she’s just like someone you’ve always known,” says Aniston. “You know when you meet people you idolize and then you walk away from the conversation thinking, ‘Well, that was a disappointment; they were kinder and more fabulous in my mind?’ Well, she was wonderful, and you could talk to her about anything.”

Aniston also explains why she feels such a kinship to  Streisand. “I had a long conversation with Barbra about directing because I directed a short a couple years ago, and if I don’t do it again soon, I’m going to burst out of my skin. And we also love interior design. Also, we are people who have been put in the spotlight, for better or for worse, and you just keep riding, and you keep overcoming, and you just stay true to what you love to do.”

“Barbra inspires me because there isn’t anything she hasn’t done that she wanted to do,” adds Aniston.

How well do you think of Aniston channels Streisand?

Producers behind the 82nd Academy Awards just announced eight new male presenters to an already star-packed lineup at Sunday’s broadcast.

Bradley Cooper, Tom Ford, Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Pine, Keanu Reeves, Sam Worthington, Ryan Reynolds, and Gerard Butler will present Oscars, according to producers Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman.

The group joins previously announced presenters including Jason Bateman, Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Ben Stiller, Miley Cyrus, Zac Efron, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Barbra Streisand, Kathy Bates, John Travolta, and Queen Latifah.

We’d say that lineup isn’t too shabby.
