Rosie Offers Axed "Idol" Gig On Gay Cruise: America may not have been a big enough fan of recently booted "Idol" Danny Noriega, but Rosie O'Donnell loves him. Rosie posted a video blog on her Web site asking Danny to join her R Family cruise next week. "I don't know if you have to sit around the 'American Idol' studio and, like, look sad for the next few weeks," says Rosie in the video, "but a week from tomorrow, an R Family Cruise is leaving from San Diego for Cabo San Lucas. So, Danny Noriega, you've got a free cruise. You and a friend. I want you to sing 'Tainted Love,' and I think you're fantastic. I think you're a bold and brave and beautiful young man. I admire you, Danny Noriega, and you have an amazing voice. So why don't you come on the cruise?" No word yet on if Danny will indeed be playing shuffleboard with Rosie next week.

Kimora Lee Simmons Reportedly Pregnant: Kimora Lee Simmons and actor Djimon Hounsou are having a baby, Page Six reports. "She's pregnant," a source told the newspaper. Confirmation of the baby news has been difficult, as Simmons' rep couldn't get a hold of her for five days. Simmons could be taking a cue from recently announced pregnant and angry blogger, Lisa Maria Presley, and laying low until after news of the pregnancy settles.

Paris Is Bling For Benji: Just how does a rich heiress show her love for a boyfriend? With bling of course! Paris Hilton was spotted wearing a ring with the letters "BM," the initials of her new boyfriend Benji Madden, Us magazine reports. The new duo was at the opening of the Kim Vo Salon Friday night in Las Vegas. The ring was covered in what we're assuming are diamonds; after all, it's Paris!

Heidi Montag Is A Fashionista Too!: Not to be outdone by her semi-scripted reality foe Lauren Conrad's clothing line, "Hills" star Heidi Montag is launching her own collection called, "Heidi Wood." But Heidi is reportedly having trouble finding a venue to debut her collection, Page Six reports. A rep for the reality star-turned-designer told the newspaper, Heidi will have her pick of prime locations. Let's hope Heidi's foray into fashion goes better than her music misadventures.

Oh La La! Ola Ray Returns!: If Heidi thought she had competition with Lauren Conrad's fashion line, wait until she gets a glimpse of Ola Ray in her new sexy lingerie collection! Before you ask the inevitable, "Who?"… Ola Ray is best known for her role as the screaming and terrified girlfriend of Michael Jackson in his legendary "Thriller" video. Ola was spotted modeling for her own line of lingerie in her hometown of Sacramento. Looks like everyone's cashin' in on "Thriller's" 25th anniversary!

No Encore for 'Sopranos': Despite reports "The Sopranos" will make a return on the big screen, a spokesperson for HBO told E! News there is "no truth" to the rumors. This comes on the heels of the strip club manager who runs Satin Dolls, the club that was used as the "Bada Bing" in the HBO series telling E! that he received a tip that a movie was in the works-- lucite heels, we're guessing?
