According to the most reputable of sources, The National Enquirer, Angelina Jolie has been visiting a psychic in New Orleans and recently said to her, “I want to contact my mother.” Angie and her mom were best friends and since her death in 2007, she’s missed her advice. Apparently, Angie is planning a seance with the psychic in January. According to an insider, “One of Angie’s biggest regrets is that she never asked her mom if she thought Brad was ‘the one.’ Angie is also agonizing over whether or not to adopt another child, or try for another biological child.” [Celebitchy]
If we’ve learned anything from Dionne Warwick, we know that Hollywood has a lot of psychic friends. Here are some other stars who turn to psychics for insight into the unknown.

Courtney Love has lost custody of her 17-year-old daughter, Francis Bean, her child with her late husband, Kurt Cobain. Cobain’s parents are now in charge of Francis Bean’s personal well-being and financial assets. Love previously lost custody of her daughter in 2003—after she OD’d on painkillers—but won custody back in 2005. There’s no official information on why Love lost custody, but TMZ is reporting that Francis Bean’s grandparents requested guardianship on Friday and apparently the court had been monitoring Love’s actions for awhile. Francis Bean will turn 18, i.e., legal, in August of 2010. [TMZ]

I found this photograph after clicking on a VanityFair.com link that read: “Click here to see a slide show of Brigitte Lacombe’s portraits of Meryl Streep.” So, you get a series of photographs that Lacombe has taken of Streep over the years. The first one was taken in 1979. The most recent one is the one you see here and was taken in October. The package comes as part of an online-only teaser for a cover story on Streep, which graces the January issue of the magazine. As Streep states in the piece, she’s experiencing a rare thing for women over 40 in Hollywood: a major comeback. “It’s incredible,” Streep crows proudly. “I’m 60, and I’m playing the romantic lead in romantic comedies!” So, what do they do with her? Why, they airbrush her to death, of course. After the jump, compare the Vanity Fair Streep with the real one, sans Photoshop.

We thought it was sort of sweet when Carey Hart tweeted that he’d gotten a tattoo of his wife, Pink, on his leg. Only, it’s seriously heinous. Way to take a beautiful woman and make her look like a demented clown in an ugly hat. Not. Flattering. [People]

I have a few nonsensical pet peeves in life. Adults in Santa hats (unfortunately, this weekend was “SantaCon” in New York and my neighborhood was overrun by adults in full Santa gear). Mandals. Men taking baths (has to do with a little thing I call “penis float”). And celebrities doing yoga in public. Take this photo of Hugh Jackman showing off his downward dog on a beach. He has nice form, sure, but seriously, there’s something so annoyingly braggy about it. Get thee to a yoga studio, dude! Hugh is just one of many celebs who feel the need to take their yoga practice outdoors among us commoners. Keep clicking to see more famous peeps massaging their chi where everyone can see.

Remember that sweet-faced little Keaton kid from “Family Ties”? Well, he has finally been inducted into the child star hall of shame. Do I even need to bore you with the story? I guess I will. Brian Bonsall is a 28-year-old, bipolar druggie with a neck tattoo. This weekend he was arrested in Colorado after assaulting a friend with a bar stool. (Translation: He was probably messed up out of his mind.) [PopEater]
I feel kind of bad for him. But why does it seem like former child stars always go so far downhill? There are so few who survived childhood stardom. After the jump, an ode to the proud and the few.

Guess what? Adrianne Curry, the very first winner of “America’s Next Top Model” and lover of all things Peter Brady, twittered recently: “Jumping into shower. Going to spend my afternoon playing World Of Warcraft butt naked & stoned. Perfect Sunday!” But most of the World Of Warcraft (WoW) geeks who twittered back were wondering whether to call bull***t on her. Because she’s a celebrity, so she can’t enjoy doing anything that can’t be taped and broadcast? Or is it because hot chicks only want to try on shoes? [Asylum]
After the jump, let’s look at more celebrities whose connections to WoW may be a surprise.

“I gagged when my son came and asked me about the implants. It was, ‘Where did you hear that?’ But it was on my own show. Our son did not know I had breast implants, so I sat down and went through plastic surgery with him. And it was great, because I was able to let him know that when his dad met me, I was completely natural. The beauty of my story is that ‘Your dad met me as a frog and I have transformed myself, because I wanted to, into a swan.’”
—Wendy Williams, on her son asking the question “Mommy, are your breasts real?” after watching an episode of her show where she talked about getting fake ones 14 years ago [People]

Poor John Stamos. He’s the latest to be the target of an extortion scheme, although, according to his publicist, the blackmailers had nothing to leverage except pictures of John posing with fans. John’s spokesperson, Matt Polk, said, “Since this is a pending federal criminal prosecution, John is not at liberty to discuss the matter at this time.” So I’m not sure we can expect that to get cleared up anytime soon. [CNN]
John seems to be in good company. As the famous and fabulous family of extortion targets moves over to make room for their new member, let’s look back at some recent cases of celebrities in the same boat. Maybe these folks could give John some advice from experience?

We all breathed a sigh of relief when Amy Winehouse divorced drug-hoarding, other woman-impregnating Blake Fielder-Civil. But a few days ago, Blake’s mommy said, “As soon as Blake finishes his term in rehab he’ll be straight back with Amy in London. They’ll lock the doors and won’t answer the phones. But I know it won’t be long before I get a call from Blake saying, ‘Mum, I’m at the airport and we’re flying off to get married.’” [Daily Mail UK]
Ick! Please don’t let this be true. But if these two do re-tie the knot, they wouldn’t be the first celebrity couple to make the same mistake twice marry someone for the second time. Here’s a look at six other doubly-wed celebs

“Henry, he’s a good boy ... He’s really into firemen and women’s breasts. In that order. He likes firemen just a little bit more ... He just talks about them all the time! It’s very sweet. He thinks I have the biggest breasts in the world, which, of course, isn’t true.”
—Rachel Weisz discusses what Henry, her 3-year-old son with Darren Aronofsky, is interested in, with David Letterman [Just Jared]
