Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, Gossip Girl’s creators and executive producers, were at the Apple store in SoHo, NYC on Tuesday to talk about their hit CW show.

According to Nylon, Josh said, “We’re not doing things according to the books anymore. Because in the books, each character turns gay and then straight like ten times. I don’t think the CW would be really into that… actually, neither would most of the actors.”

Alright, not ten times. How about five then?

Josh also mentioned Michelle Tractenberg, aka bad girl Georgina Sparks, would be back. “It’s safe to say you haven’t seen the last of her,” he admitted. We sort of hate Georgia Sparks but sort of love Michelle Tractenberg, so that sounds like a mixed bag to us.”

EW also reports that Laura Breckenridge (Related) is joining the cast as Rachel Carr, the new English teacher at Constance Billard who doesn’t’ get along with Blair (Leighton Meester).

Healthy mom-to-be Jennifer Garner picks up some groceries with a gal pal at the Santa Monica Farmers Market on Wednesday.

Victoria Beckham rubs her chilly hands together as she lands at Battersea Heliport in London on Wednesday afternoon.

The 34-year-old former Spice Girl recently opened up to People about the manners of her three boys - Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn. She proudly stated, “People are always remarking on how well-behaved the boys are. My mum and dad were real sticklers for good manners and so are me and David.”

Victoria also shared that she doesn’t read the gossip section of the newspaper and pushes aside the articles about her and husband David Beckham. She revealed, “Some of the people that I’m friends with in America – you know, Tom [Cruise] and Katie [Holmes] – they get it, too, and we laugh about all these stupid things.”

Has business has turned to pleasure for Kirsten Dunst?

The 26-year-old actress has been stepping out with filmmaker Jacob Soboroff, with whom she’s working on a documentary about voting, according to an insider, who tells Life & Style, “Yes, they’re dating.”

On Nov. 22 in NYC, the two shopped at art store Blick — then went back to her place, according to an eyewitness.

UPDATE: Kirsten is NOT dating Jacob! Her rep reveals to JustJared.com that they just “great friends” and there is “no romantic involvement at all.” Poo, poo. We want some more Hollywood hook-ups!

Check out this new photo of Michael Phelps’s girlfriend via Life & Style. He may soon set another record: most hookups in the shortest amount of time by an Olympic champion!

But his latest dalliance — with Caroline “Caz” Pal, a cocktail waitress at the Palms Casino Resort’s Moon nightclub in Las Vegas — seems to be serious.

“He took her to meet his mother on Thanksgiving,” says a friend of Caz’s. “Before she left, Caz said, ‘I’m nervous!’”

Michael, 23, and Caz, 26, have been seeing each other for about two months, says the friend.

“He was by the pool at the Palms and saw her working there. He asked someone to introduce them, and they hit it off. He calls her ‘Boo.’ He texts her and says, ‘Hey, Boo, I miss you.’”

Katie Holmes side steps out of her apartment building in New York City with a festive holiday Starbucks coffee in her hand on Wednesday morning.

The 29-year-old actress and her husband, Tom Cruise, had a date night, sans two-year-old daughter Suri, on Monday as they went to see Tina Turner perform at Madison Square Garden.

Kevin Federline wants to shed the negative image the public has of him: boy toy, gold-digger, wannabe rapper, partier. He tells People he answers to one name: Daddy.

The 30-year-old former backup dancer split with Britney Spears back in 2006 and is focusing on his four kids — Preston, 3, Jayden, 2, Kori, 6, and Kaleb, 4. (The last two are with ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson, 32.) Here are some snippets from his interview with the mag:

A lot of people assumed you fought for custody of the kids because of money. My first question to [my lawyer] was, “Am I ever going to be able to see my children?” I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That’s all that mattered. I didn’t know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.

How did you react in January when Britney locked herself in the bathroom with Jayden and was later taken to the hospital on a gurney? That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her ’cause I care about her. That’s the mother of my children. Just because I’m not in love with her doesn’t mean that I don’t love her. I’m definitely rooting for her. There’s nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.

Actress Jessica Biel joins her family in hosting the Make the Difference Network Holiday Party at the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon.

At the event, the 26-year-old actress helped with painting faces, decorating shoes and other fun kids’ activities. Singer Alex Band (formerly of The Calling) also made an appearance.

Jessica is a co-founder of the Make the Difference Network, working through it to raise awareness and funds for the many nonprofit organizations and causes.

Heidi Montag’s mom, Darlene Egelhoff, apparently doesn’t trust her daughter’s fiance, Spencer Pratt.

Her mom’s fury is unleashed in the latest issue of Us Weekly. Darlene fumes, “I don’t trust Spencer. He wants to possess her more than marry her. I’m very frightened for her.”

The 46-year-old mom adds, “He’s manipulative and seems to have power over Heidi. I would like to see a blood test from Mexico. It wouldn’t surprise me if he had her drugged. Spencer has tried to cut everyone out of her life. I’ve been honest with Heidi, and it’s caused our relationship to decline. I’m more devastated about that than the marriage, because I’m confident the marriage won’t work out.”

As for how long Darlene thinks their marriage will last, she said, “Six months. I think it’s the biggest mistake Heidi’s ever made.”

If she doesn’t trust Spencer, why did Darlene do a Mother’s Day photo shoot with Heidi and Spencer earlier this year?

Could something be fake about this couple? Could it be???

Miranda Kerr celebrates the grand opening of Victoria’s Secret new Lexington Avenue flagship store in New York City on Tuesday.

“My mom didn’t mind seeing me up there in my underwear ,” Kerr recently said of her modeling. “I am 25 and it’s all very lovely and like a costume. It’s beautiful and romantic … it’s not like standing up there in my everyday underwear. It’s a theatrical show and everyone is there to have a good time.”
