● How does one quit Hollywood? I’m not sure, but starring in a sitcom doesn't seem like the way to do it.

[Showbizspy, Variety] ● Will Jon Gosselin be making an appearance on The Hills as Kristin’s BF?

WAIT, WHAT? EGGO SHORTAGE? Yahoo Finance reports that Kellogg announced that it is rationing the Eggo line of goods “due to flooding and equipment problems” at two bakeries. Now you may be thinking how big just are these two bakeries if their overflowing commodes could simply halt production on the rubber stamps Kelloggs shills as waffles. And you would be right.

What's up with celebrity designers hawking pajamas this season? Just a few weeks ago, Kate Moss released word that her holiday collection for Topshop would include lingerie and PJs for the first time (perhaps partly as a result of her boyfriend, The Kills' Jamie Hince, always stealing hers and wearing them out). Included in the collection is a kimono-style short robe, which was among the first items to sell out, a bed jacket and teddy among other items fit for sleep.

Fresh off of giving birth to second child Sparrow, Nicole Richie is breathing life into a new designing endeavor: her first-ever clothing line (save for a capsule collection of maternity wear premiered earlier this year). The celebrity-turned-designer already has an accessories line and a clothing collection for expectant mothers -- House of Harlow 1960 and Nicole for a Pea in the Pod, respectively -- under her belt. But, now comes the launch of Winter Kate, a new line of women's wear with bed jackets as a staple and everything infused with a Richie-approved bohemian sensibility.
