LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Your Daily Dispatch of Celebrity Shenanigans

Elle’s Acting Chops Called Out: The CW’s “The Beautiful Life” has already endured a scare with the hospitalization of Mischa Barton – but is the real concern Elle Macpherson’s acting abilities? According to The New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher acting coaches have been called in and a source claimed, “All the models need to be taught how to act, but the main focus is Elle, because she has one of the biggest roles.” A model, not a good actor?… we’re in total shock by this revelation.

Joan On Jon: Joan Rivers has a new target for her comedic venom – octo-dad and Ed Hardy connoisseur Jon Gosselin. “I’m disgusted by him. Here’s a guy with eight kids who runs off to ‘find himself’ – well, he should have found himself a condom,” Joan told The New York Post’s Page Six at the at the celebration of her new series, “How’d You Get So Rich?” on Tuesday night in New York. Big Apple residents better prepare themselves; Joan and Jon are now living in the same city. We shudder at the thought of them running into each other and yet would still love to watch it all go down!

Pregnant & Posh: Speaking of multiple babies, Nicole Richie is pregnant with her second child – but still remains a stylish starlet. The reality star-turned-designer is launching a new line of chic maternity gear for A Pea in the Pod, and People has the first look at her baby-on-board couture. But don’t expect Nicole’s new line to hide the women who wear it. “I think the pregnant body is beautiful, and I think you should show it off,” she told the mag. Let’s hope we don’t see Jon Gosselin buying anything for any of the new ladies in his life from Nicole’s new line.
