Beckingham Palace (Pacific Coast News)

A lot’s changed for the Beckham family over the last few months. Soccer pro patriarch David left the L.A. Galaxy at the end of last year and announced in January he’ll be heading back to Europe after signing a five-month deal to join French team Paris St. Germain. While it’s unclear if David, wife Victoria, and their four children will hang on to their 22,000-square-foot Beverly Hills home, they’re reportedly letting go of their 22-acre English country estate, dubbed "Beckingham Palace" by the press.

Cory Monteith and girlfriend Lea Michele (Getty Images)“Glee” actor Cory Monteith has checked into rehab for substance abuse. The 30-year-old “has voluntarily admitted himself into a treatment facility for substance addiction. He graciously asks for your respect and privacy as he takes the necessary steps towards recovery,” his rep tells omg!.

Jim Carrey (Gary MIller/FilmMagic)Jim Carrey isn’t about to let Fox News have the last word.

The 51-year-old put out a statement on Friday alleging that the cable news channel had “viciously” slandered him via its coverage of the Funny or Die video he released earlier this week, titled “Cold Dead Hand,” that pokes fun at the late former NRA president Charlton Heston and gun enthusiasts.

In the statement, the “Liar, Liar” actor continually refers to the network as “Fux News” and says he would “take them to task legally if I felt they were worth my time or that anyone with a brain in their head could actually for fall for such irresponsible buffoonery.”

TumblrIreland Baldwin recently announced she’s signed a modeling contract, but in case anyone missed the news, she’s now proving it through photos.

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger’s 17-year-old daughter has taken to multiple branches of social media this month to show off her 6’2” fab figure. On Instagram there’s a selfie of the teen standing in her bathroom, donning just a cleavage-baring Nike sports bra and super-short spandex shorts. On Twitter, she’s got a shot of herself standing in her kitchen downing Cheerios while wearing nothing but (a different) sports bra on top. And just this week on her Tumblr account, Baldwin flaunted her toned bod in a super-sexy shot, standing at the ocean’s edge with wet hair in a skimpy bikini.

Amanda Bynes is threatening a lawsuit. (Splash News)This photo of Bynes in Times Square ran on several sites. (Splash News)Former child star Amanda Bynes has made plenty of not-so-flattering headlines over the last year … and she’s now decided to sue two of the celebrity news publications covering her.

"I'm suing @usweekly & @perezhilton for continuing to act like I'm doing something wrong by tweeting and walking to photoshoots. F*** you!!!!,” she posted to her Twitter page on Thursday.

Ironically, it’s her Twitter account that’s been prompting a lot of the coverage in the first place. Over the last few months, the 26-year-old has been tweeting out photos of herself with multiple piercings, wacky new looks (including this one she dubbed “pudgy” on Tuesday), and an array of interesting statements, from the bizzare “I want @drake to murder my vagina”(last Thursday) to the oddly benign "Uh oh! Stained my shirt while getting ready...grrrrrrrrrr!" (this week). She has more than 453,000 Twitter followers.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard probably don’t have to worry about their dog getting along with their future baby. Seems their pup Lola can’t get enough of her future sibling … and he or she hasn’t even made it out of the womb yet.

Bell posted a pic to her WhoSay account on Wednesday showing the couple’s pooch snuggled up to her bare belly, writing “Eavesdropping.”

Ashley Judd (Getty Images)For those Kentucky residents who were hoping that their state would one day be represented by Senator Ashley Judd, well, we’ve got bad news.

After batting around the idea of throwing her hat in the ring, the actress has announced it’s not going to happen. On Wednesday, Judd took to Twitter and, via a string of seven different tweets, crafted a letter to her followers to share the news. Most likely a first in the senatorial world.

Judd has been politically active for years, often appearing at pro-choice events, campaigning for President Obama during the last two elections, and even serving as a delegate at last year’s Democratic National Convention. In 2010, she received her master’s degree in public administration from Harvard.

“I am incredibly honored and frankly overwhelmed by the outpouring of support,” the 44-year-old said at the Kentucky Society of Washington’s Bluegrass Ball in January. “That the people of Kentucky are interested in having me represent them is the greatest honor of my life so far, and I am certainly taking a close look at it.”

Jolie caused a stir when she donned a gold band. (CHP/FAMEFLYNET PICTURES)Angelina Jolie may have taken off her blinding diamond engagement ring during her humanitarian visit to Africa this week, but the fact that the 37-year-old replaced it with a gold band seemed to take more attention away from her cause than her pricey rock would have.

Headlines around the web have been touting the fact Jolie was wearing the “mysterious” ring, and speculating on whether the mom of six and fiance Brad Pitt actually secretly tied the knot.

More than likely, Jolie, who serves as a special envoy to the U.N.’s refugee agency, simply replaced the ring with the simpler band out of respect, preferring not to tour refugee camps while donning an extravagant gemstone that’s reported to be 16 carats and worth at least $500,000.
