Nic's Man Grilled By PCDs

There's no scarier prospect for a man than his partner's friends.

Especially when they're a scantily clad gang of outspoken sexpots.

But the Pussycat Dolls didn't show any mercy when they first met Nicole Scherzinger's fella.

The girlies - Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton and Kimberly Wyatt - have revealed that they were immediately suspicious when they heard their band mate Nic had hooked up with racing pro Lewis Hamilton.

"When we found out Lewis was a racing driver we were like: 'Hold on a minute, he better not be a playboy,'" Melody told the Daily Mirror.

"So we asked him all sorts. What were his intentions, if he was a nice guy, did he know how to treat her right, did he bring her flowers and pull out chairs on dates?

"We didn't mess about and gave him a tough time as we do with all new boyfriends."

Luckily, Lewis managed to pass this daunting PCD initiation test.

"Lewis is so quiet and well mannered and he makes Nicole happy," Kimberly gushed.

"We love the fact that he's British."

High praise indeed. But we pity the poor bloke who doesn't cut the Pussycat mark. He'll be roadkill in no time at all, we're guessing...

Jess: I'm Not Dumb

Don't you dare mess with Jessica Alba...

The hot brunette has lashed out at claims that she's stupid.

It's all to do with rather a random comment that Jess made last week about Sweden being neutral during World War II.

TMZ called her a "ditz" and an "arrogant buffoon" for naming Sweden rather than Switzerland.

Meanwhile, political commentator Bill O'Reilly said she was "misguided" in the apparent error.

But now Jess has provided a rigorous defence for her comment.

Writing on her MySpace blog, the 27-year-old mum raged:

"I want to clear some things up that have been bothering me lately. I find it depressing that in the midst of perhaps the most salient time in our country's history, individuals are taking it upon themselves to encourage negativity and stupidity.

"Last week, Mr Bill O'Reilly and some really classy sites (i.e.TMZ) insinuated I was dumb by claiming Sweden was a neutral country," she continued.

"Seriously people... it's so sad to me that you think the only neutral country during WWII was Switzerland."

She ended sarcastically: "I appreciate the name calling and the accurate reporting. Keep it up."

Phew. We think a few people might be thinking twice before they engage Jessica's wrath again.

This lady ain't afraid of a war of words...

Bennifer Name Their Bub

It's been a week since Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck welcomed their second baby into the world.

And now they've finally revealed the little nipper's name.

The golden showbiz couple have called her Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck.

Hmm.

While they've given no explanation as to why they chose the name, it seems that in true celebrity fashion, Bennifer (the second) have put much thought into the decision.

Because this name has one spiritual and heavenly meaning.

According to a website specialising in the origin of names, Seraphina is derived from the Biblical word seraphim, which is Hebrew in origin and means fiery ones.

Seraphim is also supposed to be one of the highest orders of angels.

The choice for the middle name is a bit of a no-brainer, with the couple being a bit partial to flowery styles after calling their three-year-old, Violet.
