Willie Nelson. - Sean Gardner/FilmMagicStoners, your leader has spoken. Willie Nelson departed his smoke-filled tour bus for a minute to endorse Republican candidate Gary Johnson for president.

The legendary country crooner and pothead posted a message of approval on his Teapot Party website. Johnson, a former two-term New Mexico governor, has long campaigned to end pot prohibition. During the GOP debate on Cinco De Mayo, Johnson declared, "I advocate legalizing marijuana -- control it, regulate, tax it."

That is music to Nelson's ears! He is so hardcore about this issue, he has an entire Facebook page devoted to it. Last November, he was charged with possession of marijuana after cops found six ounces in his tour bus at a border control checkpoint in Texas. Nelson managed to avoid jail.

The World's Most Powerful. - Neil Mockford/FilmMagicAfter four years at the top of the list, Oprah's reign as the "World's Most Powerful Celebrity" (according to Forbes, that is) has ended. The magazine has named Lady Gaga the most powerful person in the world of entertainment, based on a "measure of entertainment-related earnings and media visibility."

"Lady Gaga tops our power list not just because of her $90 million in earnings, but also because of her 32 million Facebook fans and 10 million Twitter followers," Forbes said in a release. "[Those fans] helped move 1 million copies of her hit single, 'Born This Way,' in just five days."

Winfrey fell to #2 (somehow we don't think she's going to lose any sleep over this). She's followed by Justin Bieber, U2 (which apparently counts as one person) and Elton John in the top five.

New entrants to the list this year include Katy Perry (#12), Bethenny Frankel (#47), Mark Wahlberg (#74) and Natalie Portman (#75).

Yes, apparently Bethenney Frankel is more powerful than Natalie Portman. This is

Patrick and sister Katherine in October. - Kevork Djansezian/Getty ImagesMaria Shriver has already spoken out in response to the shocking revelation this morning that estranged husband Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a love child with a member of their household staff ten years ago. And now his son Patrick has commented, as well.

Shriver -- who is reportedly being courted by a range of TV outlets in recent days -- issued a brief statement this morning.

"This is a painful and heartbreaking time. As a mother, my concern is for the children. I ask for compassion, respect and privacy as my children and I try to rebuild our lives and heal. I will have no further comment," she said.

Patrick tweeted earlier today that he stands by his family.

"some days you feel like sh*t, some days you want to quit and just be normal for a bit, yet i love my family till death do us apart.#family," he wrote.

The first part of the tweet is a quote from the Fort Minor song "Where'd You Go."

Perhaps tellngly, Patrick has changed his twitter name to "Patrick Shriver."

Pregnant in heels. - FilmMagicIvanka Trump is having a Trumpette. In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, the va-va-voom daughter of the Donald reveals that she and husband Jared Kushner are expecting a girl on July 14.

"My dad was joking the other day how he's going to have a new favorite little girl," she says. "He's over the moon, he's so excited. He'll be wonderful, but not as a classic, hands-on, 'Let me take the child for the weekend' type. He won't be that kind of grandfather."

Trump married Kushner in October 2009 at a Trump golf course in New Jersey; he's the owner of the New York Observer, and a real-estate scion himself. "Jared is ecstatic. She'll be a daddy's girl. I have a feeling they are going to gang up on me," she admits.

Even if she is prone to Donald-speak ("America is the largest corporation on the planet"), we're a fan of Ivanka: she's poised, no-nonsense, smart and seemingly down-to-earth, despite growing up absurdly wealthy.

Congrats!

twitter.com/misskatewatsonThanks to Twitter, we have a visual of James Franco graduating from New York University Film School today. (He's still enrolled at Yale in an English Ph.D. program -- and also may be attending another graduate program in Houston.)

It looks like these ladies used the ole' "I'm pretending to take a picture of you but really taking one of the celebrity next to you" trick to pretty decent success.

"People get drunk, people get crazy." - Getty ImagesEllen DeGeneres tends to cut to the chase with her celebrity guests, and, for whatever reasons (probably because she's funny and charming and nonthreatening), the guests never seem to mind much.

Such was the case with Shia LaBeouf, whom chatted breezily with DeGeneres about the bar fight he was involved in earlier this year (which ended with him in handcuffs).

"I walked out to have a cigarette. I was away with some friends. Some guys instigated me and that's what it was. Some name calling," the 24-year-old said. "I didn't know them, no."

(We like to think they called him "Even Stevens," but it was probably something "worse.")

Anyway, LaBeouf tried to downplay the whole encounter, understandably.

"It was just an awkward situation ... I'm not trying to challenge anybody either ... People get drunk, people get crazy," he added.

DeGeneres then asked him if he cares about how he's perceived by the public, to which he responded in the most adorable way possible.

"The only opinion that

Lively and DiCaprio go a-"roaming." - Kristy Sparow/WireImageBack in November, tabloid editors salivated over the news that Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio had dined together at New York City's The Lion. (Of course, it didn't matter that there were six other people there, nor that it was a business meal in relation to Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby.") The buzz, however, quickly died down when the pair weren't seen together thereafter.

But, now that DiCaprio has officially split from longtime girlfriend Bar Refaeli, he appears to have reconnected with Lively at Cannes.

The New York Post reports that Lively and DiCaprio were spotted "roaming around" the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc in Paris together on Friday night.

"She was wearing white and he was in a baseball cap," the Post spy said. "They walked around the grounds together. It looked like they were a couple."

(Meanwhile, we would like to know more about how their gait suggested they were romantically involved.)

The pair were initially brought together by Lurhmann, who cast DiCaprio as Jay

Getty ImagesThe Situation is suing his dad, Frank Sorrentino, over using his name and likeness on the website TheConfrontationSite.com. TMZ reports that the "Jersey Shore" star filed papers in Miami yesterday claiming Sorrentino is trying to damage his business reputation by posting humiliating rumors and rants on the site. The Situation seeks unspecified damages, while Sorrentino craves revenge. Last week, the elder Staten Islander absolutely railed against his son, in a fury about being denied a request for money. (It always comes down to that, doesn't it? Kid gets rich and famous, family wants to get rich too, kid gets mad, family fights back.)

Ugliness! Meanwhile, The Situation is back to his usual MTV antics, making out with girls on camera for "Jersey Shore" season four in the motherland.
