“I actually met with her a couple of weeks ago and the funny thing is, I actually don’t remember half of it,” Ritter laughed to MTV. “I remember the first half of meeting her, but then, as the night progressed, somebody decided to drink too much Jameson.”

“But seriously, she’s such a sweet girl that I’m gonna try to give her a little piece of my heart,” he continued. “I wanna get in a room with her, and I wanna see what flies. I’ve got some songs for her, like, little things written, and I wanna see what she wants. See if she wants something aggressive and rock, and I’ve also kinda got some really fun, clubby ideas.”

Model Gisele Bundchen and football star Tom Brady need to start buying blue baby clothes - she’s reportedly telling friends she’s expecting a baby boy and mom and dad want to name the baby Gabriel.

According to the National Enquirer, Gisele has a sister named Gabriela and apparently has been enamored with the name for a while. The 29-year-old was raised Roman Catholic, and in the New Testament, Gabriel - an archangel - is an important figure. Sounds fitting for the former Victoria’s Secret Angel!

Congratulations to the happy family!

Michael Douglas (who played Gordon Gekko in the original movie) recently talked up the sequel, saying, “It’s 22 years later. Gordon has done about eight years in jail and got out in about 2001. The picture predominantly focuses on these last couple of years on Wall Street, which nobody anticipated. We shot the first one in 1986 and it was a wild, wild colorful time. And here we have both a train crash and a larger-than-life period leading up to that train crash. It’s an exciting time to make a picture about Wall Street!”

The Transformers letter war continues!

From Megan Fox comparing Transformers director Michael Bay to Napoleon to crew members insinuating that Megan may have been a diva on set and the director’s insisting he still loves working with her, it can be hard to keep up with the latest!

This time, production assistant Anthony Steinhart gives his opinion on the accusations made against Megan.
Here’s Anthony’s letter:

“First of all, I would like people to know (for those who are interested) the reason why I am writing this letter is to clear my name in any of this Ms. Fox bashing. As someone pointed out in one of the responses, you could narrow down the list of potential writers of the letter by looking on IMDB. I have received a few phone calls from people who have read the letter and they know that I have worked closely with the actors/actresses on the film, so I felt I should at least clear my name.

“My name is Anthony Steinhart and I have worked on both Transformers movies and have had the pleasure of working with Ms. Fox.

“I read the letter by the three unnamed crew people and was blown away by their description of Ms. Fox. Especially, since I am the one usually getting Ms. Fox at her trailer. I have personally never been nor ever witnessed Ms. Fox being rude or inconsiderate of people's feelings or the work to be done. Everyone is entitled to their good days and bad. Contrary to popular belief, she is like us (human) and has both good and bad days as well. Working on the Transformers movies can be intense at times and sometimes intense situations cause intense moments.

“Some of the examples the three unnamed writers give as evidence of Ms. Fox and her horrible attitude are so ridiculous.

“It’s unfortunate the grip didn’t want to bring his daughter to set because Megan Fox wasn’t nice and not the fact that we had a closed to set. No visitors unless approved by the UPM [unit production manager]. That is what the call sheets have always said. By the way, Ms. Fox wished my 12-year-old brother a happy birthday over the phone while we were shooting in New Mexico. Not so heartless…

“It’s also unfortunate that she didn't attend any of the ‘15′ parties, but I clearly remember her hanging out in New Mexico with some of the crew and watching her get hounded by passers-by as she walked through the hotel lobby and being nothing but gracious to her fans. Also isn’t it refreshing to hear that she doesn’t need to be a part of the party machine that sometimes swallows people whole, only to spit them out on the front page of every magazine. And incidentally, if these crew members were at the wrap party, I only saw 2 cast members there. Granted I wasn’t there the whole night, but I was there long enough to know that the others probably weren't going to show.

“I also remember walking with her through the hordes of people lined up, while we shot at Princeton and she signed autograph after autograph. She signed many publicity photos, magazines, pieces of white paper for crew members and their families. Now I know that isn’t the same as curing a disease, but if we are to take anything an actor/actress says or does to personally, then I fear we have far greater problems on our hands.

“Unfortunately, I don’t always keep up with or hang on to quotes and/or quips ‘actresses’ say, so I wasn’t familiar with the incident that incited the tasteless letter, but none-the-less leave the war of words to those involved. No need to drag her name through the mud and at the same time, unknowingly, bring others down.”

Matt Damon and his wife Luciana Damon arrive at the Ziegfeld Theater for the New York Premiere of The Informant on Tuesday (September 15).

The 38-year-old actor had to put on a few extra pounds and grow out a mustache for his role in the movie. "My wife liked it," he told Access Hollywood of the mustache. "You know, I liked parading around the house with my belly hanging out. I would do like kind of the sexy walk, but I clearly shouldn't have been doing that type of thing. We had fun with it. We laughed a lot."

"I found that actually the first 30 pounds were fun and then I just kind of left it there," Matt said of the weight he put on. "I wouldn't do more than 30 though – that would start to hurt."

Clive Owen suits up for the October 2009 cover of Details Magazine. The 46-year-old British actor is the kind of be-stubbled brooder whom straight men find authentic and their wives find irresistible. Here’s what Clive shared:

On recent scripts: “They are not very good. And these are films that are funded and ready-to-go ­expensive movies. You’re amazed that people are funding them. I start to think it’s me that I’m being too choosy.”

On living a normal life: “I’m quite good at getting on with my thing. I feel I’m pretty nifty; I can spot trouble coming.”

On reconnecting with his father: “It was a very bizarre experience, looking
at someone you’ve never known and going, ‘Oh my God, that’s my father.’”

Clive’s new movie The Boys Are Back opens in limited release next Friday (September 25).

Leelee Sobieski and her fiance, fashion designer Adam Kimmel, are expecting their first child together!

“The happy couple are thrilled to be expecting their first child in December,” the actress’s rep tells Us Weekly.

Congrats to the happy couple!!!

Megan Fox strikes a sexy pose in an American Apparel bodysuit on the October 2009 cover Rolling Stone. Here’s what the 23-year-old actress opened up about:

On her girl-on-girl make-out scene with Amanda Seyfried: "Clearly I can't argue that it's not gratuitous, because it is.”

On her struggle to reconcile her public persona with her true self: "I don't really want to share myself with the public. I want to deflect attention from my reality."

On suffering from extreme self-loathing: “I’m really insecure about everything. I never think I’m worthy of anything. I have a sick feeling about being mocked all the time. Self-loathing doesn’t keep me from being happy. But that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle. I am very vulnerable.”

On not sleeping around: “I can never have sex with someone I don’t love, ever, ever, ever. That idea makes me sick. I’ve never even come close to having a one-night stand. … I’m not sexually promiscuous.”

Check out the video of Megan’s cover shoot at RollingStone.com.

Megan’s new movie Jennifer's Body opens in theaters everywhere this Friday (September 18).

Uma Thurman sparkles in a cashmere silver sequined Donna Karan dress on the October 2009 cover of W magazine. Here’s what the 39-year-old actress spilled:

On plans to wed fiance Arpad “Arki” Busson and whether then plan to live in NYC or his home base of London: “I'm happily engaged, but we haven't set a wedding up. I'm not in a rush to do anything. One day we'll do it, when we're ready… We can't live anywhere else because my children's' father lives here. We'll figure that out.”

On reassessing her life and approaching 40: “I can't say my 30s were the easiest time. And I had thought my 20s were hard! … You know, that's the worst mistake a woman can make, to think, Oh, I'm 32 and I've had two kids and I've worked since I was 16 and now it's going to get easier. Because as soon as you think that, you're doomed! You're absolutely doomed!”

On her regrets: “I feel like I lived my life backwards. Like Bob Dylan said, 'I was so much older then; I'm younger than that now.' Getting older has been a process of realizing that I wasn't as grown up as I had thought. When I was a teenager people often referred to me as jaded or knowing. It's a classic teen illusion to think you know it all, but I've certainly learned I don't. I've certainly learned the hard way.’

Acknowledging that her career isn't where it should be, partly because she takes projects that don’t require a lot of time away from NYC: “When my son turned seven, I felt myself stand upright and realize that I wasn't going to be bending over so much. I realized I had been kind of in this position for years! It's nice to think that everybody's getting more independent and now I can kind of maybe, slightly selfishly, think about work again…You know, I do care about my work, and it is part of me. And I am a mother, but I need to do what I'm good at doing. You really can't let go of all of yourself…. Even your kids need you to be who you are… I've been living at home for work for a long time. If I don't leave soon, I'm going to literally choke my career to death.”
