In Touch is reporting that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith will separate after 13 years of marriage. If this is true, it means that Scientology really can’t fix everything. But also, this is very sad. Also also, who gets to stay in their truly lovely home?

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are at it again. Baby’s number three is a’coming! The pair are “thrilled” about the news. A source says, “This was her plan all along” because “she’s always wanted three kids.” The couple has two daughters: Violet, 5½, and Seraphina, 2½. [AP, US]

David Letterman responded on air to the death threats made against him. He cracked jokes in both his Top 10 List last night — “Things That Went Through My Mind After I Heard About The Threat” — and his monologue:

“I have a fatwa on me. And they say the guy that issued the fatwa is an Internet jihadist. Internet jihadist, and I said, ‘Well, heck, who says Obama isn’t creating jobs?’ And so now, State Department authorities are looking into this. They’re not taking this lightly. They’re looking into it. They’re questioning, they’re interrogating, there’s an electronic trail — but everybody knows it’s Leno.”

Katie Couric‘s upcoming talk show now has a name: Katie. (As an aside: can we please stop naming things by a celebrities’ first name now?

The series will premiere in Fall 2012. [TV Newser]

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary by releasing a set of Mattel Barbie dolls in their likeness. I’m really not sure if I’ve ever heard of a couple doing something more self-aggrandizing. [Pop Watch]

She comes to Springfield to try to cheer up Lisa, but she can’t.” [Broadway via ONTD]

  • A random diner approached LeAnn Rimes at the dinner table as she was eating dinner at a Chicago restaurant and told her she was too thin/needed to eat more. Rimes took to Twitter, naturally, to vent: “How dare someone come to me at a table with the boys and tell me I need to eat something. What is wrong with people?” and “As I’m stuffing my face….have another drink and maybe take a class in manners! Cheers!” Finally, she finished the rant with “You do not have the right to vomit out an opinion of anyone you do not know in front of family at a restaurant. And that’s not an ‘opinion’ — that’s judgment of someone else.” [US]
