It's Been a While But We're Back!!!

RANDOM SEX:

You know how CHRISTINA AGUILERA has been acting all classy and grown up lately? Scratch that. Here's a picture of her getting out of a car . . . WITH NO PANTIES ON. And remember . . . she's pregnant . . .

EVA LONGORIA SAYS HER MENTALLY CHALLENGED SISTER IS HER HERO:

It's been easy for EVA LONGORIA to stay grounded after she became a huge star . . . after she grew up watching her mentally challenged older sister, LIZA, face and overcome numerous challenges.

Eva says, quote, "Liza is mentally challenged. She was my hero growing up. It was a blessing to watch her overcome every obstacle . . . tying her shoes, putting on a shirt, getting out the front door.

"And yet she still had a job and would come home on the bus by herself and help with dinner. You could only imagine the hurdles she encountered every minute of the day.

"Liza was a role model to get me ready for life in Hollywood. You don't take health for granted. You don't take life for granted.

"It seems so insignificant to go, 'Darn it, I didn't get that movie role,' or, 'Darn it, so-and-so is wearing the same dress as me to the Emmys.' I didn't know there was another way. I thought everyone should be sensitive and somewhat unselfish."

MADONNA'S KIDS DON'T GET CHRISTMAS PRESENTS:

Since MADONNA'S kids can have pretty much anything they want all year-round, this probably isn't such a big deal.

But 11-year-old LOURDES and 7-year-old ROCCO have nothing to look forward to this December 25th . . . because they don't get Christmas presents.

GUY RITCHIE says, quote, "We canceled Christmas a few years ago. Stopped all the presents. And ever since we stopped the presents, we're actually enjoying it."

(The retail industry shoves Christmas down our throats HARDER and EARLIER every year. It seems like more and more people are FIGHTING BACK, by doing things outside the usual traditions . . .)
Speaking of Lourdes . . . Britain's not-always-reliable "Sun" tabloid says the "Harry Potter" producers want to cast her in the next movie, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". There's no word what part they have in mind for her.

(Here's what Lourdes looks like these days . . .)
