Get ready for the Duffster to invade the scadalous lives of Gossip Girls. From Entertainment Weekly...

by Michael Ausiello

Is the Upper East Side big enough for Serena, Blair and the Duffster?! We're about to find out because the onetime tween sensation is joining Gossip Girl for a multi-episode arc, sources confirm to me exclusively.

The actress-designer-pop chanteuse will play Olivia Burke, a movie star who enrolls at NYU in search of a traditional college experience. She ends up rooming with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr) so it's safe to say she'll be majoring in Drama!

Duff will debut in this season's fourth episode, slated to air Oct. 5.

....As crazy as this sounds... I don't hate this. It might actually be good. Fingers crossed.

Not only am I PSYCHED about this show coming back for two more seasons, but I am really excited for the lead actress.

Proving that becoming a Mom after 40, and keeping your day job is possible...

Congrats to Law & Order SVU's Mariska Hargitay! She is now the highest paid actress on TV!

From Hollywoodreporter.com...

"Law & Order: SVU" will return with its two stars on board.

After on-again, off-again negotiations, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have inked new deals to continue on the crime procedural, which is coming back in the fall for its 11th season.

Additionally, Christine Lahti has signed on to play the assistant district attorney on the veteran series for the first four episodes. Stephanie March will return after that to reprise her role as ADA Alexandra Cabot.

Sources said Hargitay and Meloni, who regularly negotiate their contracts together, have inked one-year deals with an option for a second year.

Despite the conglomerates and particularly NBC Universal being in cost-cutting mode, Hargitay and Meloni are said to have boosted their most recent salaries of about $385,000 an episode. In a rare feat for show talent, they have been able to negotiate a piece of "SVU's" lucrative back end, sources said.

Taking all into account, Hargitay's and Meloni's paychecks are expected to grow to more than $400,000 an episode, solidifying Hargitay's position as the highest-paid woman in television and Meloni as one of the top male earners.

Get ready for more of the Housewives of NJ! They just signed on for another season. And I am SOOOO psyched about it!

From ImNotObsessed.com...

The Real Housewives of New Jersey are back for a second season Life and Style Magazine has confirmed. Why did it take so long to figure this out? The gals were holding off for bigger paychecks. Smart ladies!

"They're doing a second season, and it's going to be crazier than the first," an insider tells Life & Style. "It's going to explode. "There's no premiere date, but everyone knows it's going to be a huge hit," the insider adds. "The reason it has taken so long to announce is that once the show became such a hit, the women held out for much bigger paychecks."

LOVE IT! But next up will be Real Housewives Atlanta Season 2... and you know us Southern Girls can get a little dramatic ourselves. Can't wait! Thursday, July 30 at 10PM ET/PT

Say it ain't so! Tension in the newly reunited NO DOUBT? Well, a little healthy discord never hurt anyone. From ETonline.com...

Gwen Stefani says getting back together with No Doubt came with some complications, plus she reveals mommy woes in a candid new interview.

In a new Elle magazine, the rocker turned pop star admits to some conflict when she got back together with her band, No Doubt.

"Everybody's making it like there's all this tension, you know, like I stepped away from the band and now they're jealous of me, and look, maybe there is a little bit of that," she says. The band attempted to write a new record before going on tour, but were unable to come up with new material. Things came to a head one day when they were recording a cover of Adam and the Ants' "Stand and Deliver." She and bass player Tony Kanal got into "a heated conversation" over the track.

"But some fights aren't really what they seem," Gwen says. "I think it was a little about the song, and a little about our coming back together. There was this little air bubble that needed to pop, you know?"

At home, the singer faces other challenges with being a mom. "It's one thing when you have an infant," she says. "but when you have this two-or three-year-old going, 'Mommy, what's the deal?!' it's harder. Kingston's whole thing is, 'I need, I need.' He is insane right now. We're just hoping for the best and that he's not going to turn out to be a freak, but we'll see."

The new issue of Elle is on stands June 15th.

...NO DOUBT TOUR WAS AMAZING! We loved EVERY second of it!
