IS JENNIFER ANISTON NOT ADOPTING MEXICAN BABY???: JENNIFER ANISTON is usually denying romance rumors, but this week her peeps are setting the record straight on some baby gossip started by Star magazine.
Her rep - Steven Huvane - tells People magazine that Jen "is not adopting a baby from Mexico, nor does she have a nursery in her home and she has not hired a nanny. It is all a work of fiction."

However ... There are those in Hollywood who believe a denial from Huvane is just as good as a confirmation from someone. Steven, you see, has a reputation for being the #1 liar in Tinseltown.

You have to wonder, though, since whatever they had — real or perceived — was over, and Jake had already reportedly ended things via text, why fly so far to do it in person instead of over the phone?

Could it be he learned for some one else’s mistake? Like, say, JOE JONAS

Speaking of “Idol” … You can forget all the talk it’s on its last legs: “Idol” still towers above everything else on TV. Last week’s premiere episodes were seen by an average of nearly 12 million viewers, the next biggest series not on cable drew about half of that

Meanwhile ... PAULA ABDUL left the show in a huff after they wouldn't pay her what she thought she was worth. Well, whatever CBS is paying her to star in “Live to Dance” is way too much. After a pretty decent first couple of shows, last Wednesday’s episode drew about 1/12th the audience of “Idol”, making it was the least-watched original series on CBS.
