Edwards' Funeral To Take Place Amid Possible Protests

As mourners gather to commemorate the life of Elizabeth Edwards on Saturday afternoon, picketers from a Kansas-based church -- along with counter-protesters -- could change the mood outside the funeral.

Edwards, the estranged wife of former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, died Tuesday after a lengthy battle with breast cancer. She was 61.

Representatives for the Edwards family confirmed that the service will be held at the Edenton Street United Methodist Church in Raleigh, where the Edwards family worships. The 1 p.m. funeral, which will be open to the public, will include eulogies from daughter Cate Edwards and longtime friends Hargrave McElroy and Glenn Bergenfield.

Edwards will then be buried at Raleigh's Historic Oakwood Cemetery, according to office manager Sharon Freed. Earlier this week, Freed told CNN about the proximity of the burial to Edwards' son Wade, who was buried at the cemetery after dying in a 1996 car crash.

"He is already interred there in a space. And she will be interred there beside him," Freed said.

Angelina Jolie Is Always Open To Having More Kids

"Larry King Live," Jolie, 35, said she has "no plans at the moment," to add a seventh child to her big brood with Pitt, 46. "But we're always open [to the idea]," she admitted.

"The Tourist" actress explained how she and Pitt keep their kids' fears in check when they're swarmed by photographers.

Jolie credit the ability for she and Pitt to split work and parenting duties to their happy partnership. "We never work at the same time. We never separate the family," Jolie said to King. "When I was shooting The Tourist for example, [Pitt] was home with the kids, and helping them with school, and bringing them to visit set," she says.

Still, Jolie knows that she is in a unique position. "My schedule is not as demanding as many, many mothers across the world who have two or three jobs and no help."

Brittny Gastineau Confirms She Is Not Dating Michael Phelps

Brittny Gastineau, a Los Angeles socialite and reality star, confirms she is not dating Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps and denied reports that suggested she may be pregnant.

OnTheRedCarpet.com had last month squashed rumors of a romance between the two, quoting a source close to the matter as saying that Phelps was still together with Miss California, Nicole Johnson. At the time, an online video posted by TMZ had shown Gastineau getting into a vehicle with a man who appeared to be Phelps.

"I'm too busy to date anyone because I'm working so hard on my jewelry line," Gastineau, 28, told People magazine recently, referring to her Tres Glam Jewelry collection.

Phelps, 25, has reportedly been together with Johnson since at least the summer, when they were photographed in Hawaii together. The source said the two have dated on and off for several years.

Gastineau, appeared on the E! reality series "Gastineau Girls" with her mother in 2005 and is also known as a friend of reality star Kim Kardashian.

Gastineau shot down recent reports that said she recently bought a home pregnancy test, telling People: "It would be great to be pregnant at the same time as my BFF Kim. We're both single!"

Kim Kardashian And Gabriel Aubry Call It Quits

That was fast. After just a few weeks of nurturing their romance, Kim Kardashian and Gabriel Aubry have called it quits, according to reports.

So what happened? Well, take your pick. This is where things get a little muddled.

According to E! Online, the burgeoning romance came to a screeching halt because Aubry’s ex Halle Berry did not approve of his new hook-up, and she made her feelings known. Well really!

“It was just too much to handle for Kim,” the source tells E!. “She [Kardashian] realised very quickly they were better off as friends.”

While over at Usmagazine.com, they quote a source as saying the romance “was moving too fast,” and they realised they’d be “better off as friends.”

Life & Style gets top marks though for ‘exclusively’ revealing that the romance hit the skids because…“Kim feels like Gabriel was just using her for her fame.”

Plus, at the ripe old age of 34, Gabriel “is older than Kim is looking for.” Kardashian is 30.

But while the tabs have their different takes on why the romance died, they all agree that Kardashian has already moved on.

Word is she’s set her sights on New Jersey Nets player Kris Humphries.

Angelina Jolie Took Manners Classes For 'Tourist'

Angelina Jolie plays a refined British woman named Elise Ward in her new flick The Tourist, and to prepare for the role Angie says she took "manners classes!" She says she just wanted to learn how to slow down and have more poise -- it's not like she's a big slob or anything.

She said: "I'm not completely clumsy or gross, but the character takes her time with everything. I'm an American! I do 10 things before breakfast."

Angelina also spoke of her hopes for the futures of her children - Maddox, 9, Pax, 7, Zahara, 5, Shiloh, 4, and 2-year-old Knox and Vivienne – and how she wants them to look back on their childhoods.

 Speaking on The Today Show, she said: "Hopefully they are happy, and they know that they were loved, and that they were encouraged to be who they are, and not pushed into something that they're not. Hopefully they'll be the strong, beautiful individuals that they are today, and be happy in their lives, be fulfilled in their lives, and be living their lives honestly.”

The 35-year-old beauty admitted she can’t understand why so many people are fascinated by her but is hopeful interest in her will fade as she gets older. She said: "I don't find myself that interesting in that way. But I feel like it happens to everybody.

It's just that it's a weird time right now. There's just so much of all of that, for everybody. It's just, it's a new world. I just assume the older I get, the more it'll go away. The more private I'll become."

Carrie Underwood Sweeps American Country Awards 2010

Carrie Underwood took home Artist of the Year and five other categories during last night’s new American Country Awards on Fox. Unlike the ACM and CMA awards shows, this one is voted on by the public.

And Underwood fans sure know how to vote! Her other victories: Female Artist of the Year, Album of the Year for Play On, Single by a Female artist for “Cowboy Casanova”, Video by a Female Artist for “Cowboy Casanova” and Touring Artist of the Year.

“We have had the most amazing year out on the road,” Underwood said in her acceptance speech.

“Of course, we wouldn’t be doing anything if it weren’t for the people sitting out there in that audience, so to everyone that came out to see us and anybody else out here — you guys are awesome.”

Do we really need a fourth major country music award, on top of the American Music Awards and the Grammys? Not really. We’ll see how the ratings did last night and that will tell us if Fox will try this again.
