Looks like Marc Anthony better get ready for #4:

Jennifer Lopez, 34, who's in the process of relaunching her singing career, said: "I sooo want to be pregnant. I'm ready, I'm waiting and I want it to happen as soon as it possibly can." Her hubby already has three kids from previous relationships.

"I know it would be the best thing in the world right now," says the star. "I'm so happy and I just know it's the right time. You just know when you're ready, don't you?"

--Why don't you try out the marriage thing for a bit, Jen Jen?

"Happy f---ing New Year, Tommy!" Neil said to bandmate Tommy Lee shortly after midnight Friday.

The remark was carried to viewers on the East Coast but was edited out before it was broadcast in the West, according to the entertainment trade paper Variety, which reported the incident on its Web site Monday night.

Johnny Depp topped IMDB.com's 2004 STARmeter while Lindsay Lohan placed a strong second in the rankings, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The movie resource and database website also had Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Angelina Jolie rounding out the Top 5 as it unveiled its top 25 movie stars.

The rankings are determined by the site's STARmeter, available since 2001 through its subscription service, which ranks celebrities' popularity among IMDB.com's more than 22 million monthly visitors. The listings are an aggregate of search and page-view patterns of the Web site, reflected in weekly rankings. The list is the compilation of the year's data.

According to IMDB managing editor Keith Simanton, Depp and Lohan were in a heat for the top spot, with Depp popular in the first half of the year, no doubt because of the success of "The Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," while Lohan was tops in the second half.

Movie star Michael Keaton is desperate to bring the dead back to life in a sequel to his hit 1988 comedy Beetlejuice.

The Batman star loved playing the mischievous ghoul opposite Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis and wants to make a follow-up to Tim Burton's cult classic. He says, "That is a movie I would like to do again. I would really like to make another Beetlejuice because it's totally 100 per cent original, with such talented people involved.

--Not sure what I think about this one. Could be the fact that Keaton hasn't done a hit movie in awhile that he thinks this is a good idea.

No more J.Lo:

Jennifer Lopez is so sick of her "J.Lo" stage name, she nearly titled her upcoming album Call Me Jennifer.

The singer - who ultimately settled on Rebirth as the moniker for her new disc - is desperate to ditch her J.Lo tag so she can propel the true Jennifer into the spotlight, and bury the reputation attached to her alter-ego. She says, "I'm not J.Lo, she's not a real person. She was just a bit of fun that got really crazy. I've never been anyone but Jennifer. I was going to call the album Call Me Jennifer because that would be my way of saying goodbye to the whole J.Lo thing. But Rebirth is perfect because it means so much more."

--Wow. That's so deep.

1 "Ass the size of Saturn" might be a more appropriate moniker

2 I think it’s funny how this marginally talented bimbo of a diva is suddenly distancing herself from her “alter ego.” Whatever. What a flake and an idiot. I love it when celebrities try to tell you they’re just like everybody else. Didn’t she say she’s still Jenny from the block? Yeah, right. You put out two albums entitled “J.Lo” and then “J. to tha L-O,” follow that with a fragrance and on and on and on. So tell me again how “J.Lo” is not you? Oh please. I hate divas. I hate pretentious, self-absorbed divas. I hate pretentious, self-absorbed, a-hole divas who suddenly pretend to be regular-folk because the very image they’ve created to make millions is reviled. This woman makes Joan Rivers seem positively deep. You made your bed, now lie in it. If you need further proof of Jennifer Lopez being a jackass, look no further than this. I swear I wasn't crabby when I woke up this morning. LOL

3 Wasn't this the title of one of Streisand's early albums, albeit, "Call me Barbra?" But then JLo has been trying to unsuccessfully imitate Babs for years.

4 It's final. Kevin, you crack my shit UP. I sure hope your Tuesday is better than today. And Chuck, "unsuccessfuly" is an understatement, but you're under bar review stress, so I don't expect big words from you right now Hope it's going ... well, as well as can be expected.

5 um, yeah. I meant to "unsuccessfully" to be spelled correctly

6 Glad I could be your little dancing monkey, Amanda. :-) Unlike Jon Stewart to Tucker Carlson, I myself and far too happy to be your little monkey, here to entertain! (All apologies to the hostess of this fine site for jumping around on the furniture for my own gains).

Bosses of a major British stadium are calling on bands like U2, Coldplay and The Darkness to help raise millions for the victims of the Asian tsunami - by performing at a Live Aid-style extravaganza.

Chiefs at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, are frantically trying to gain the support of their country's politicians in their quest to stage a fundraising concert for the men, women and children left homeless, starving and at risk from disease in the aftermath of the December 26 disaster. Organizers are hoping an "event of international proportions" will take place on January 22 - before the stadium is used for sporting events - but bosses appreciate they are working against an almost impossible deadline.

Sergeant insists talks are currently in place with a host of "A-list acts", reportedly including Bono and U2, Coldplay, The Darkness and Franz Ferdinand.

Britney Spears's husband Kevin Federline is so fed-up with his wife hoarding clothes - he's reportedly banned her from shopping until she clears out her wardrobe.

The superstar's spouse doesn't mind what she does with the unwanted outfits, as long as she makes space for her future purchases. A source says, "He's told her that he doesn't mind if she dumps them, sells them or gives them away, he's just desperate for her to stop hoarding and buying more."

--Maybe if Kevin got a job and contributed a bit more he might have more of a say in her spending habits.

One of the more interesting year-end lists: MovieMistakes.com has named and shamed its 15 favorite continuity errors of 2004.

For example, in "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," the room containing the Monster Book of Monsters changes proportions to accommodate the action.

Other moments making the list include a sandwich with multiplying crusts in "Kill Bill-Vol. 2," a flexible shovel in "Secret Window," a self-healing car in "The Bourne Supremacy" and a sun that rises in the west during "Troy."
