Queen Elizabeth II marked her 85th birthday on Thursday, attending a Maundy service at London's Westminster Abbey with husband Prince Philip and gracing 85 men and 85 women with gift coin purses -- two per person --- each containing commemoratives with a total face value of 85 pence.

The red purses contained 5-pound ($8) coins commemorating the 90th birthday of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and 50-pence coins (100 pence in a pound) marking the 2012 Olympic Games held in London. The white ones held 85 pence worth of specially minted Maundy Money in one-, two-, three- and four-pence denominations.

The Easter week event also served as a bit of a rehearsal in advance of the April 29 wedding of Kate Middleton to the queen's eldest grandson, Prince William, at the Abbey.

Elizabeth, having held the crown for 59 years, is now the oldest person to have ruled the commonwealth. Prince Charles, 62, is the heir apparent who's spent the most time in the royal on-deck circle.

Now, while Elizabeth was indeed born on April 21, 1926, and the Maundy ceremony is an official one with a couple of royal multiple-gun salutes, this year's coincidence didn't turn Thursday into the monarch's official birthday celebration, the Washington Post noted. Since the days of Edward VII, Britain has held that party in June.

Hey, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln weren't actually both born on the third Monday of February, you know.

[For the record, 9:52 p.m. April 21: This post originally misspelled Edinburgh as Edinborough. Thanks to commenter @marie for the catch.]

Justin Timberlake will be back hosting "Saturday Night Live" in all his "... In a Box," "Give It on Up" and "Mother Lover" glory, an NBC Twitter slip-up has revealed.

The singer-turned-actor, who earned two Emmys thanks to his previous stints on the sketch comedy, will be hosting for the fourth time on the May 21 season finale. He'll be live from New York a few weeks after Tina Fey is slated to host on May 7 (more Sarah Palin, please!). The news came via a wayward response on NBC's official Twitter feed.

"I didn't realize that @nbcSNL isn't back until May 7th!!! What am I going to do!? Is Tina Fey the season finale!?" a fan wrote.

"Nope! We have Timberlake after that!" was the response, which has since been removed from the micro-blogging site.

His musical guest will be Lady Gaga, who has been just about everywhere promoting her "Born This Way" album. Gaga last performed on the "SNL" stage in 2009.

If Timberlake is indeed the host, we hope Gaga jumps into some of his sketches.

Which sketches are you hoping the "SNL" writers will bring back for JT or do you prefer his digital shorts with Andy Samberg? We want to know in comments.

Jane Krakowski of "30 Rock" has welcomed a new baby boy with fiancé Robert Godley, a menswear designer.

Weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces, blond little Bennett was born April 13 in New York, the actress' rep told Us Weekly.

"Bennett is an amazing, healthy sweet boy and we are both just crazy in love with him," Krakowski, 42, said in a statement to the mag.

Krakowski and Godley, who've been dating since 2008, got engaged over the holidays at the end of last year. The baby-on-board news came in early January, right after the couple announced their engagement.

Bennett is a first child for both the Psycho Bunny fashion designer and the Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated actress.

Gary Busey's 1-year-old son has been hospitalized since earlier this week at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he is being treated for "a childhood illness."

Luke Busey, son of the actor and fiancee Steffanie Sampson, is expected home by the end of the week, a Busey rep told "Access Hollywood" on Tuesday.

"Gary is very grateful to his fans for their love and support," the rep said. "Gary and Steffanie thank everyone for their prayers and get-well wishes for Luke."

The "Lethal Weapon" actor also has a son, Jake Busey, with ex-wife Judy Helkenberg, and a daughter, Alectra "Ellie" Busey, with Tracy Hutchinson.

The freshly fired "Celebrity Apprentice" contestant made headlines earlier this week when he expressed his support for Donald Trump's rumored presidential bid. Busey told the "Today" show that although he has "great respect" for President Obama, Trump "would be an absolutely good" president.

"He knows about this country," Busey said. "He knows the situation we're in now."

On the "The Wendy Williams Show," the actor went so far as to pledge his vote, calling Trump "a great man."

Kate Middleton and Prince William's royal wedding extravaganza is fast approaching, and the select group of guests -- which may include the likes of Kanye West, David and Victoria Beckham and Elton John -- will have plenty of memories of their time at Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. But what about the rest of the world? 

For those who want to remember how much they cared about the last-minute shopping trips and visit to Princess Diana's tomb, who had an opinion about which engagement picture was more engaging, who'd possibly trade a small child for an embossed something-or-other from the reception, there are souvenirs.

But these are royals living in the 21st century, when limiting merchandise to tea cups, plates, magnets and the like simply won't do. But the creativity found in what will do, authorized and unauthorized, is rather astonishing.

In this international spirit of romance-meets commerce, from pizza to Pez dispensers and sick bags to fake sapphire rings, we present a look at a range of royal wedding memorabilia that is or has been up for grabs.

Graffiti and drug charges against rocker Keith Richards' daughter Theodora Richards were dismissed Thursday in a plea deal with New York prosecutors.

Richards, 25, who was arrested March 1 on suspicion of tagging the side of a SoHo building and possessing marijuana and hydrocodone, was given two days of community service and told to visit a drug treatment program for a day, a deal she initially had turned down at the time of her arrest.

But prosecutors agreed to the deal laid out by a Manhattan Criminal Court judge because Richards had no previous criminal record and is currently in a drug treatment program. She must complete the community service by June 24, when she is due to appear again in court.

Police said they caught her with a paint marker writing "T [heart] A" on a building that houses a convent in an upscale part of SoHo, where she lives. She had 8 1/2 hydrocodone pills without a prescription and a small amount of marijuana, court documents said. When she was arrested she did not enter a plea and was released without bail.

The model, who wore a finely striped shirt-dress and high heels to court, has appeared in ad campaigns for Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger and French Connection.

The Associated Press reported that she "smiled but stayed mum" as she left court. Her attorney, Edward Hayes, said she was currently drug-free.

"She's as clean as the snow," he said.

Richards is one of two daughters of the Rolling Stones guitarist, 67, and model Patti Hansen. Keith Richards, who has two other children from a previous relationship, chronicled his bad-boy lifestyle in last year's best-selling memoir "Life."

"Glee" extra Nicole Crowther was fired from the hit show for tweeting spoilers about the upcoming prom episode, specifically, who would be prom queen and king.

The somewhat cryptic message was understandable to fans of the show, and "Glee" co-creator Brad Falchuk was less than pleased about the leak. So he went off on the actress, which ultimately resulted in Crowther deactivating her Twitter account and getting the boot from the Fox show.

Those Gleeks don't mess around.

SPOILER ALERT: Do NOT click on the upcoming link if you prefer to be in the dark. Read the tweet here.

A series of angry messages from Gleeks bombarded the micro-blogging site after Crowther sent out the spoilerific tweet, which prompted Falchuk to speak out.

"Who are you to spoil something talented people have spent months to create? Hope you're qualified to do something besides work in entertainment," he tweeted to the regular extra.

Ouch. And so Crowther was fired from the Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning Fox show.

"They are not doing reshoots because of my careless mistake so shut up haters and leave me alone. Grow up and get a life," was her final tweet before deactivating her account.

However, a source close to the show said standard Screen Actors Guild day-player union contracts used by the show do not contain non-disclosure agreements, which lay out punishments when plot secrets are blabbed, so the legal ramifications are less serious.

But still, she better watch her back or else she might be thrown up against a locker or get a slushie to the face. Just saying.

Heather Morris has some sweet dance moves, and the "Glee" star is showing them off --  along with her hot bod  -- in a new Esquire video.

Morris gets down and dirty to songs like "Heart Attack" and "Sofi Needs a Ladder" in the clip, which helps highlight danceable songs from the mag's list of "50 Songs Every Man Should Be Listening To."

With 23 years of dancing under her belt, she even has a little advice for anyone hoping to impress next time they're out at the clubs. Tips like, "You don't want to be too cool. But you don't want to be too dorky" and "looking down and shuffling is pretty great. But not the Running Man."

Fans might recall that Morris danced back-up for Beyonce during her "Single Ladies" performance at the American Music Awards and on "Saturday Night Live." In fact, "Glee" producers brought her on their Fox show just so she could teach the rest of the gang the choreography. Now, she's a fan favorite as cheerleader Brittany Pierce.

"Training Day" star Ethan Hawke is expecting his fourth child, which will be baby No. 2 with wife Ryan Shawhughes, who is toting "an adorable little basketball belly."

Hawke, 40, and Shawhughes, the former nanny to his other two children, got married in June 2008 then welcomed their daughter Clementine the following July, Us Magazine reported.

Shawhughes is "five months along, totally showing," a source told the mag. "They don't know the gender, but ... Clementine really wants a little brother!"

Hawkes' other children have a pretty kick-butt mom: "Kill Bill" star Uma Thurman, whom he divorced in 2004 after a six-year marriage. They have two kids together: Maya, 12, and Levon, 9.

In 2012, he and Thurman are expected to star alongside Gerard Butler, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Dennis Quaid, Jessica Biel and Judy Greer in the upcoming sports comedy "Playing the Field."

Prince William has taken his bride-to-be, Kate Middleton, on an emotional visit to his mother Princess Diana's tomb, it was reported Wednesday.

William took his fiancee to his mother's ancestral home at the Althorp Estate, where they held hands and laid flowers while wandering though the grounds of the estate, the Daily Mirror reported. They later took a boat to the island tomb known as the Oval where Diana was buried after her 1997 death in a car accident.

Only Prince William's uncle, Charles Spencer, Diana's brother, was privy to the royal trip, the paper said. The 14,000-acre Northamptonshire estate where the island is located has been the Spencer family's home since the 16th century. It boasts a temple with a permanent memorial to the late princess.

Prince William also took Middleton to the arboretum where he and his brother, Prince Harry, his best man, planted trees as children. He was 15 and Harry was 12 when their mother died.

"It is very important for Kate to share and understand William's love and grief for his mum," a source told the UK's Daily Mirror.

Prince William and Prince Harry walked behind their mother's cortege at her funeral at Westminster Abbey, the site of the prince's upcoming April 29 nuptials. Prince William proposed to Middleton with his mother's diamond and sapphire ring.

"It was very important for William to take Kate to visit his mum just before their wedding day. Diana is still a huge part of her boys' everyday life and always will be," another source said. "It is tragic that she won't be there to see the wedding, and that she never got to meet his bride. But even though Kate never met Diana she knows what an incredible woman she was."

Amid the speculation about Middleton's dress and all the royal wedding details, it's a bit sobering to hear how he's working on this connection between his bride and late mother, yes? Tell us in comments.

Demi Lovato, who last week tweeted her support for Catherine Zeta-Jones' "brave" decision to be treated for bipolar II disorder, revealed that she too is bipolar.

The 18-year-old Disney actress discovered her diagnosis during her three-month stay at a rehabilitation center in Illinois, where she was treated for anorexia, bulimia and cutting.

"I never found out until I went into treatment that I was bipolar," Lovato told People. "Looking back it makes sense. There were times when I was so manic, I was writing seven songs in one night and I'd be up until 5:30 in the morning."

Lovato has recently opened up about what she calls "the darkest time" in her life, discussing in depth her struggles with self-mutilation and eating disorders.

In an interview that will air Friday on "Good Morning America" and "20/20," Lovato said her lifelong depression wreaked havoc on her body.

"[Cutting] was a way of expressing my own shame, of myself, on my own body," Lovato said in the interview. "I was matching the inside to the outside. And there were some times where my emotions were just so built up, I didn't know what to do. The only way that I could get instant gratification was through an immediate release on myself."

Lovato also said she was bullied at school, and discussed her decadelong "unhealthy relationship with food," saying she started compulsively overeating when she was only 8 years old and later began starving herself.

"I was performing concerts on an empty stomach," she said. "I was losing my voice from purging. I was self-medicating. I was not taking medication for depression, and I literally was so emotionally whacked-out that I took it out on someone that meant a lot to me."

Just when we thought she was out, Lindsay Lohan pulled herself back in -- back into the cast of the upcoming John Gotti biopic starring John Travolta, that is.

Lohan was taken out of consideration to play Gotti Sr.'s daughter Victoria in "Gotti: Three Generations," executive producer Marc Fiore said Wednesday morning. But only a few hours later, Fiore announced that Lilo was back on board, albeit shifted to the role of John Gotti Jr.'s daughter-in-law Kim Gotti.

Seems Fiore wasn't blowing smoke when he initially said, "She's a wonderful person. Her legal case has nothing to do with it. We just couldn't reach terms." According to TMZ, the disagreements were with Lohan's management team, but the actress got back on the project by reaching out to Fiore personally. 

Sounds like a lotta "Gotti" goodwill -- because of course this couldn't be ingenious marketing, could it?

Incidentally, Kim Kardashian's name was originally floated for the Kim Gotti role; despite Lohan's surprising current resemblance to Victoria, a blond, she has in fact rocked darker locks in recent memory.

When you hit as big as Lady Gaga has, a "Weird Al" Yankovic parody can't be far behind -- but with an act as unique as Lady Gaga involved, things got a little extra weird for Al.

"Well, this was a strange day," the satirist wrote on his blog late Wednesday. "After putting my Lady Gaga parody on YouTube this morning -- and announcing that it wouldn't be on my next album because Gaga didn't approve it –- there was a huge outpouring of disappointment from the Internet. Apparently the fact that she didn't approve it was news to Lady Gaga herself!"

Yankovic had vented earlier in the day, albeit kindly, about the "Born This Way" singer's alleged last-minute rejection of his song despite his advance submission of the concept, lyrics that poke fun at Gaga's outlandish costumes and performances, and a rough-cut recording with a due date that required him to cut short a family vacation.

"I still don't know specifically what kind of problem she has with the song (obviously I take a few jabs at her, but y'know, it's satire –- that's how it's supposed to work). And I'm especially confused as to why she waited until I actually recorded the song (at her insistence!) before saying no," he initially wrote of the Gaga saga. "It's not like there were any surprises in the finished song that she couldn't have foreseen by, you know, READING THE LYRICS."

(Though parodies fall under fair use and don't require permission to be released, Yankovic said it is his "personal policy" to get consent from the original artist before putting a parody on an album.)

But wait! Turns out, "Even though we assumed that Gaga herself was the one making the decision (because, well, that's what we were TOLD), [her manager] apparently made the decision completely on his own," Yankovic wrote later in the day. "He's sorry. And Gaga loves the song."

So all's weird that ends weird -- and all proceeds from the song and video will go to the Human Rights Campaign.

And in case you were wondering why he went the interwebs route to release the song, that's a little "personal" too. 

"Given the circumstances, I have no problem with allowing people to hear it online, because I also have a personal policy not to completely waste my stinking time," he wrote, including the spot-on lyrics, which go a little something like this:

My Mama told me when I was hatched
Act like a superstar
Save your allowance, buy a bubble dress
And someday you will go far
Now on red carpets
Well, I'm hard to miss
The press follows everywhere I go
I'll poke your eye out with a dress like this
Back off and enjoy the show!

I'm sure my critics will say
It's a grotesque display
Well, they can bite me, baby
I perform this way
I might be wearin' Swiss cheese
Or maybe covered with bees
It doesn't mean I'm crazy
I perform this way

"There must have been a misunderstanding because [Gaga] is in no way trying to block the release of the parody," sources close to the singer told TMZ. "She's busy touring and hasn't heard the song yet. Her manager hasn't had a chance to play it for her yet. ... She's a huge Weird Al fan."

Our friends at Pop & Hiss did float the idea that the rejection came because "Born This Way" is already a "thinly veiled" version of Madonna's hit "Express Yourself" and "would simply explode if copied one more time."

Late Wednesday ahead of Yankovic's blog update, his manager Jay Levey said permission had in fact been given for "I Perform This Way" to appear on the new album.

What do you think of "I Perform This Way" -- smashing or bashing? Watch above, and tell us in comments.

Kate Hudson is expecting! Evangeline Lilly has a bun in the oven! Mariah Carey is pregnant with just the precious-est twins ever!

Uh, yay?

Preach It! has never managed to summon the proper amount of glee when a star gets knocked up. We get it: We’re the celebrity gossip media; we’re supposed to go squee! and trot out phrases like “baby bumpin’!” and “baby joy!” and run photos of “beautifully pregnant” and “glowing” starlets shopping for tiny clothes at boutiques no one else can afford.

But maybe we’re less than enthused because of what’s happening -- with increasing speed -- after these kids arrive. We speak, of course, of mommy’s weight loss. The media tend to use the cutesy phrase “body after baby” -- the impossible size-2-to-0 figure that starlets are expected to reclaim in less time than it takes for a Gabor to drop a fur coat onto a divan.

Usually, we’re talking a pretty tight weight-loss window: A few months, perhaps. Miranda Kerr, for example, is looking pretty much the way she used to after four months of motherhood.

But that “body after baby” time frame appears to be, well, shrinking. After initially lying about her pregnant state, celebu-stylist Rachel Zoe eventually gave birth to a boy last month. Fast-forward three weeks, and Zoe is padding around Los Angeles looking as scrawny as she was in her heyday. How do we know? Because of the headlines, of course.

“Rachel Zoe Shows Off Her Post-Baby Body,” SocialiteLife simpered.

“Rachel Zoe is skinny again,” is how Hollyscoop put it.

And, per the stiffer upper lips of Britain’s Daily Mail: “Rachel Zoe regains her slender form just three weeks after giving birth.” 

At this rate, we’ll be demanding that Hudson drop her weight before she even pops out that baby.

Forgive us if we fail to squee.

Beyonce is back, honey, with another anthem for independent women everywhere.

Images were all over the Internet last week from the set of a music video, widely reported to be the clip accompanying the single "Girls" from her new album, which is expected in June.

Now a demo version of the track "Girls (Who Run the World)" has leaked and lives in various fan-created tribute clips on YouTube. Quick insight into the song: It's about girls who run the world. 

"Who run this ... ?" Beyonce asks with well-deserved authority, preaching "make your check come at they neck / disrespect us? no they won't." 

"Girls" has a harder edge than her milestone "Independent Women Pt. 1," but is nowhere near the gritty, futuristic chic of "Diva," complete with Brian Lichtenberg headgear. 

Listen to B's track here and leave your thoughts in our comments section.
