Céline Dion‘s new twin babies are just two days old but proud papa René Angelil is already publicly bragging on them.  He spoke with a Canadian entertainment show about welcoming their two new babies after a long struggle with fertility issues:

“When Saturday at 11:11, they showed us the first baby that was crying, we were crying.  It was a very emotional moment, and even though we didn’t speak to each other, we were both thinking about the time it took.  We are very lucky, very privileged and very fortunate to have these boys.”

Their nine year old son, René-Charles, is especially pleased about his new brothers.

“He was very, very happy that it was boys.  I remember a few months ago when mom told him the day we were going to know if it was a boy or a girl or two boys or two girls … his reaction pointing to his mom’s belly he said, ‘I hope there’s not too many girls in there.’ “

Angelil said that his wife is already anxious to get back to work, and is scheduled to be back in Las Vegas on January 17th to begin rehearsals for her new show.

Here’s some big (almost) news for Star Wars fans, there is a rumor from a reliable source that says George Lucas is planning a new sequel trilogy to the first six Star Wars films!

Confirmed IESB scoops specific to the Star Wars universe include the first announcement of the PG-13 rating of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, the first word of a live action Star Wars TV series as well as the Clone Wars animated series. Yes, all of these Lucasfilm scoops were all first reported here on IESB.

Now on to our newest big Lucasfilm scoop, ready? George Lucas is plotting to create new Star Wars moviesat the ultra top-secret Skywalker Ranch.

This is déjà vu of the mid 90′s when Uncle George starting tweaking the Holy Trilogy to gear up for the Special Editions. That was his first step in moving forward with the eventual prequel trilogy.

It’s happening all over again, Lucasfilm is already hard at work converting the entire Star Wars saga into 3D which will be released starting with Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 2012. The word from our ultra top-secret Lucasfilm insider is that Lucas has gotten the itch and is already looking ahead into launching an entirely new trilogy in that galaxy far, far away.

IESB has the track record of having the real scoop, so this seems pretty likely. I’m not opposed to three more Star Wars movies, although the most recent three left so much to be desired. In any case there is huge potential to make billions in this new 3D driven hollywood. Even if these movies happen, don’t expect to see the first in theaters for at least five years.

Saturday night, Blake Shelton was the latest country artist to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.

Trace Adkins had the honors of welcoming his friend into the “club”,

“I don’t have a whole lot of friends in this business because I tell people what I think.  I tell Blake what I think and he don’t care. He still talks to me.  It means the world to me to say Blake Shelton, you’re the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry!”

Congrats! Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton Are Engaged (Photos)

Blake was emotional as he accepted the great honor,

“This is the reason you come to Nashville if you’re me. This is what I wanted from the beginning, to make a mark.  I get the same feeling walking into the Opry House as I do when I see one of my heroes. The Grand Ole Opry is an artist, and I am proud to be one of its songs.”

You can get Blake’s greatest hits album, Loaded: The Best of Blake Shelton, on November  9th.

Congrats to Blake Shelton!  You so deserve it!

Mel Gibson’s baby mama, Oksana Grigorieva has gotten the offer.  What offer?  The Playboy offer that any decent looking female that’s ever been in the spotlight gets.

Playboy has offered Oksana $75,000 to pose full frontal, nude for the magazine.  She would of course get the cover as well.

Mel Gibson Proves Just How Disgustingly Racist He Is

I actually thought the payout was pretty small.  But I guess they don’t think her nude body is worth more.  She is Mel Gibson’s leftovers.

Would you want to see the struggling wannabe singer in the buff? Can you imagine what the tapes will sound like when Mel gets wind of this?

I think that Jennifer Love Hewitt is gorgeous.  She’s got an amazing body, beautiful face, lots of talent.  The only place she is lacking is her taste in men.

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jamie Kennedy Hook Up In NYC

Sure, I sound super shallow, but that’s the nature of my job.  Sue me.  Jen doesn’t seem to go for the hot guys.  She’s always in a relationship with the goofy, less than sexy guys.  Why?  I guess that’s just her taste and of course she’s entitled to date whoever she wants.

I personally just want to see Jennifer Love Hewitt in a serious relationship with some eye candy.  Girl needs a trophy boy toy for a change!  Maybe it’s the change she needs!  It’s not like she has the best of luck in love with these guys….

Jennifer Love Hewitt Has A New Man – Alex Beh (Photos)

Alex Beh is so not Jen material.  He’s too geeky!  And he’s letting his gut hang out!  It’s fine if you have one… just don’t flaunt it!  And put that Cubs hat away!  The season is sooo over!
