Christina%20Aguilera.jpg Memo to esteemed members of the paparazzi everywhere -- if you want a money shot, hang out at Krispy Kreme.

Because, if gossip magazines have taught us anything... it's that women of childbearing age, and celebrities in particular, who have a cravings for dough and sugar after suffering though stale cheese biscuits and nuts on a Qantas domestic flight, must be carrying a bun in the oven, right?

Within minutes of touching down in Sydney last night, US songbird Christina Aguilera was satisfying a craving for glazed doughnuts - adding fuel to speculation she may be pregnant with her first child.

The star's stretch limousine was forced to make an emergency pit stop at the Krispy Kreme store at Sydney airport moments after her plane flew in from Brisbane.

Since we're in the business of starting rumours, here's one - a certain Sydney newsreader was spotted eating a chocolate donut, WITH SPRINKLES - at 9.05am.

We'll leave you to make your own rash assumptions about that....

Matt Newton Says "No" To Violent TV Role

Posted by Busty St Clair at 11:29 AM on July 23, 2007

Matt Newton has rather smartly declined an offer to play a a hitman named "Mad" Richard Mladenich, in Channel 9's new gangland drama, Underbelly.

Escaping conviction over his assault of ex-girlfriend Brooke Satchwell last week, Newton knocked back the role in Underbelly, citing filming commitments to the second series of the pay-TV comedy series Stupid, Stupid Man.

His protracted legal issues however may have also been a factor that led to his passing on the project.

Now, we know "the biz" well enough to know this story has been planted by Matt's publicist, but we're still struggling to figure out what the aim of it is..

Is it to tell us that Matt's legal woes haven't harmed his career, as his lawyer argued last week? That he's still busy. So busy, in fact, that he can afford to pass up work?

Or is it to tell us Matt isn't keen on being hated as much on-screen as he is off it.

Either way, we'll leave the irony of the title of Matt's comedy show well alone.
