Motown's Nick Ashford Dies...

Nick Ashford, who with wife Valerie Simpson wrote such legendary Motown songs as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand," has died after a prolonged battle with throat cancer, his publicist announced.

He was 70.

Their songs were spun into hits by, among others, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston and Ashford & Simpson themselves, including the '80s hit "Solid As a Rock."

Nick and Valerie's relationship went back to 1964, when they (she a 17-year-old from the Bronx, he a 21-year-old from Michigan) met in a Harlem church and decided to write songs together. They wed 10 years later.

Besides Valerie, Nick is survived by their two daughters, Nicole and Asia; his brothers Paul, Albert and Frank; and his mother, Alice Ashford.

Jennifer Garner Is Pregnant...

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are getting ready for another baby!

The couple, who are parents to two daughters, Violet, 5�, and Seraphina, 2�, are "thrilled" to be expecting their third child.

Jennifer and Ben, both 39, have each spoken of being hands on parents. After Seraphina's arrival, Jennifer said juggling acting and motherhood gave her a "split personality."

"I feel like half my brain is somewhere else all the time, but when the camera's rolling, I pull it together and focus for two minutes," she said at the time, "and then I kind of turn back to a ditz again."

LeAnn Rimes reprimanded by rude diner over thin frame...

Country singer LeAnn Rimes had a run-in with a rude diner on Saturday after the woman approached the star's table in an Illinois restaurant to urge her to eat more.

The "Blue" star has come under criticism for her super-slim frame, with the blonde beauty repeatedly having to assure fans she's perfectly healthy.

LeAnn had to defend her figure once again while eating out with husband Eddie Cibrian and his parents in Chicago over the weekend, when a woman marched over and insisted she should indulge in more calories.

On her Twitter page, LeAnn writes, "How dare someone come to me at a table with the boys & tell me I need to eat something. What is wrong with people!? AS I'm stuffing my face... have another drink and maybe take a class in manners! Cheers!

"Once again DONE talking to rude people who have NO right to have an opinion on my body. Out of line! If it happened to someone who wasn't a "celebrity" it would be rude, but to a public figure it's socially acceptable?!"

People had begun to gather nearby to watch the commotion, when Ryan stepped in to break up the brawl and physically separate the two, who were reportedly fighting over the ownership of a painting.

It's Anne Hathaway...

"The street was locked off, but we were in front of an apartment building," Anne said. "It was a little naive."

She then confessed that she's "terrified" to Google herself for fear that someone in the building had a camera out and snapped photographic evidence of her indiscretion.

Anne noted that she herself has been mooned "plenty of times" on movie sets, but never been the "mooner" before. "I decided to be a little naughty and go for it, and it blew right up in my face," she said with a laugh.
