If you are old enough to remember when Madonna got pregnant the first time around you probably remember her seeking out the perfect specimen that would, for all genetical purposes, be the impeccable father of her first child.

Carlos Leon was that man. But what is Lourdes' father like, and what does he have to say about all the recent controversy surrounding Madonna?

He says of his 11-year-old daughter, "She's at that point where she can call me and say, 'Hey Dad, what's up? What time are you going to get me?' It's really cool. We talk every day."

He hints that Madonna is the disciplinarian of the two. "It's hard for me to be the tough guy with my daughter. Maybe I should work on the discipline stuff, but I could leave her mother to do that!"

He adds that they must be doing something right because Lourdes is growing into a beautiful young lady. "Look at me and the way I live: I ride my bicycle, I walk, I don't have a driver. That's how I keep her grounded. Her mom does a good job too â€" she's not that person that everyone thinks. She's very laidback and cool."

When asked what his opinion is of the whole Madonna Alex Rodriguez scandal he says confidently, "Trust me, that's a lie. I know for a fact, she wouldn't do that."

Nas has banded together with ColorOfChange.org & MoveOn.org to gather over 620,000 signatures petitioning Fox News and Bill O'Reilly (who used the phrase "lynching party" recently) for their racist propaganda against the Obama family and black Americans.

Love, love, love these guys!

50 Cent is suing Taco Bell after they used his name in a marketing ploy to advertise their prices.

Taco Bell President Greg Creed officially asked the rapper to change his name from 50 Cent to 79 Cent, 89 Cent or 99 Cent and promised $10K to his favorite charity if he agreed. He wrote,

"We know that you adopted the name 50 Cent years ago as a metaphor for change. We at Taco Bell are also huge advocates for change. We encourage you to 'Think Outside the Bun' and hope you accept our offer."

You had to admit, it was funny, but you knew he would never do it.

Well Fiddy isn't laughing. He's pissed that his fans are accusing him of being a sellout and he feels the company used his name to sell their products. He's asking for $1 million.

Lawsuit documents read,

"Taco Bell traded on the name of the world's biggest hip-hop star to draw attention to its new, hip-hop-based advertising campaign, and thereby generated massive publicity for its business."

I'm sure Taco Bell is still loving all this attention. A piddly million was completely worth all the advertising they got from this - and then some.

So what was it that Justin Timberlake said during his ESPY Awards monologue that was met with complete and utter silence afterward?

Even though his publicist was against Matthew McConaughey pimping his first born's baby pics to OK! magazine - here's the $3 million dollar cover.

McConaughey and baby mama Camila Alves are shown with their newborn son, Levi Alves McConaughey, who was born on July 7th.

Daddy Matthew brought his son into the world the only way he knew how. With bongos and dancing, man!

"We found a great rhythm. Contractions started kicking in. I sat there with her, right between her legs. We got tribal on it, we danced to it! I was DJ-ing this Brazilian music."

Not only did Matthew do a dance between Camilla's legs, he also kept a diary of the entire experience and the hospital stay.

"I have it all chronicled. Becoming a dad is something I've dreamed of doing since I was 10. Becoming a father felt very, very natural. We were jamming! She was sweating. No painkiller, let's go. She just clicked into that gear that only a woman has at a time like this. We'd been up for 40-something hours, and we went from dead tired to a really steadfast, 'Let's handle this, let's stay in the rhythm. Don't let the contraction be more than you.'"

Star magazine's latest issue accuses Matthew Broderick of cheating on his wife of eleven years, Sex and the City star, Sarah Jessica Parker.

Reportedly, Matthew met the 25-year-old redhead youth counselor at a bar while Sarah was filming SATC in Los Angeles. The two began text messaging and soon after were having late night sex romps. Supposedly.

The woman, who was not named, apparently gave Matthew the nickname, 'Matty Cakes' but felt a little guilty for having hooked up with him. But not guilty enough to stop the relationship..

Over the next month the couple spent time at a friend's Manhattan townhouse and the woman's apartment.

A friend of the woman says that one night the couple showed up at her door, wasted, went into her bedroom and 30 minutes later Matthew came out saying, "Well..bye!" She added that she found her friend passed out in her panties afterward.

Ok, so who is buying this? Who lets people just come bursting into their apartment and then go f*ck on their bed? The story sounds fishy to me. And I hope it's not true. I love Matthew and Sarah together. The original 'cool' geeks of the 80s always seemed like a good match for one another.

Amy Winehouse was honored by Madame Tussauds in London today with a wax figure made in her likeness.

However, the junkie singer didn't attend the unveiling. Instead, her parents revealed the wax clone to the world.

The figure wears the recognizable bright yellow dress that Amy wore to the 2007 Brit Awards and has the same tattoos, but looks just a bit healthier than she appears in real life. A little more meat on her bones, especially in the face - and no track marks or fresh cuts running up and down her arms.

Amy's parents proudly posed next to the figure, which is displayed in the museum's 'Music Zone' area. Her father said, "This is the reward for her musical achievements and her talent." He added that his daughter would be at the museum soon to check it out. You know, whenever she can put the crack pipe down..
