Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenaningans

Brad & Angelina Head To France: In superpower celeb couple news, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are headed to France, according to Us Magazine. The couple has reportedly made an offer on an 850-year-old stone house in Eygalieres, in France’s Provence region, a real estate source tells the mag. Angelina has reportedly had “long conversations” with the American Hospital of Paris about giving birth there, another source tells Us. “Angelina knows all about our reputation. She is certain she’d be happy giving birth here,” the source adds.

It’s A Boy For Melissa Joan Hart: The “Sabrina” actress and husband Mark Wilkerson welcomed another bundle of joy to their family on Wednesday. The couple announced the news on Melissa’s MySpace page. Their second son, Braydon Hart Wilkerson, was born at 3 PM. He weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces. No word on any magical powers for the baby or what the talking cat thinks about having another person in the house.

Brit’s Sitcom Reviews Are In: Could Britney be headed for a new career as a sitcom star? “How I Met Your Mother” star, Josh Radnor, tells People, “It pains me to report that on the first day of the shoot, Britney knew her lines better than I knew mine. She’s been great to work with.” Brit even overcame first day jitters, according to source on the set, who told the mag, “She was a bit nervous, but didn’t let it get to her… She really seemed to enjoy herself and feel comfortable.” Sounds hardly “Chaotic”!

‘90210’ Lives: And speaking of a show that has Brit written all over it, time to dust off the tables at the Peach Pit! The CW network is developing a modern spin-off of the show that brought sideburns and shoulder-padded-suit-jackets-as-casual-ear to high school kids across America, The Hollywood Reporter reports. The creator of “Veronica Mars” is in talks to write the project. No word if Dylan or Donna or any of the other original characters will be back for the spin-off, but we’d sure love to see a rematch between Brenda and Kelly!

How Much Did Scarlett Fetch?: As reported here earlier this month, Scarlett Johansson auctioned herself off on eBay for the relief organization Oxfam. The auction closed with a winning bid of $40,100, Page Six reports. The lucky bidder, who lives in England, scored two tickets to the premier of “He’s Just Not That Into You,” a limo to the premiere, and of course the chance to meet the actress! Frankly Scarlett, (we think) this man gives a damn!
