In a desperate attempt to win the hearts of Gen Y, aging pop tart Madonna has reportedly been pushing for a part in New Moon, the sequel to last year’s box office smash, Twilight.

Madge has been hounding New Moon’s executive producer Guy Oseary – who also happens to be her long-time business partner – and doesn’t care who or what she plays, so long as she’s in the movie.

Given Madge’s outstanding acting background – ahem, Swept Away, anyone? – I somehow don’t think she’d be particularly suited to a role in possibly the biggest vampire film of all time. Although, if she does manage to squeeze her way into the sequel, I’m sure she’d tie with Kristen Stewart for the ‘Worst Character Portrayal’ Razzie.

Her pals say Britney’s bloated stomach is nothing more than excess “water retention,” but sources close to Spears have revealed today that she is, in fact, pregnant, as we here at Staralicious have speculated.

The 26-year-old, whose recent appearances on the hit show How I Met Your Mother have been applauded, is reportedly desperate for a daughter, and hopes the baby she’s carrying now will finally give her the girl she’s always wanted.

However, the real shock isn’t the fact that Spears is pregnant for a third time, but that she’s pregnant with ex-husband Kevin Federline’s baby… again!

“Brit’s desperate for a baby girl and she always wanted Kevin to be the daddy,” the source said. “She wants her daughter to have the same father as her sons and for them all to be one happy family.”

The source added that Britney called Kevin recently to tell him the happy news. No word yet on how the wannabe rapper took the news, though chances are he’ll be rejoicing in yet another payday: the Spears/Federline custody battle for Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 20 months, is still on-going, and K-Fed looks set to walk away with $58,000 a month in child support payments.
