Scoop for the Week of Dec. 17th

Another Friend It's a girl! No, Phoebe's not having more babies. Rachel's getting a sister. As if the apartment wasn't getting crowded enough, Reese Witherspoon is joining the cast of Friends for at least two episodes. It's her first project since her and hubby Ryan Phillippe became new parents. Perhaps the real question is: Will Jennifer Aniston's current beau, Brad Pitt, make an appearance on the show like her last boyfriend, Tate Donovan. Brad wouldn't be playing ugly naked guy. But he is playing the birthday boy in this week's Celebrity Birthdays!

Naomi's Name Calling The fur's flying between Naomi Campbell and animal-rights activist Dan Matthews of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals. Naomi says she was sickened when she heard his comments about Gianni Versace. Apparently, Dan said he admired Versace's killer because he finally got Versace to stop using furs. Naomi said his remarks were "unbelievable insensitive" and "extremely offensive." Now she's pro-fur and anti- PETA. Keep in mind, Naomi was unloaded as a spokesmodel by the group after wearing fur in a Karl Lagerfield show in 1997.

GMC? Not General Motors Company. Good Morning Cindy. Now you'll be waking up with Cindy Crawford every morning. She's joined the crew of Good Morning America. She'll host a child-development series called Presley's First Year, named for her 5-month-old son. She'll also appear on the second Wednesday of every month with segments on various lifestyle topics. Wonder how long it will be before little Presley reaches Cody Gifford status?

Saturday Night Censored It might not be one more time for a Britney Spears Hannukah sketch on Saturday Night Live. The Anti-Defamation League doesn't want SNL to ever rerun that segment. On the Dec. 4 show, guest host Christina Ricci played Britney in a skit spoofing Celine Dion's Christmas special, And So This Is Christmas. The SNL skit, And So This Is Hannukah, also featured Ana Gasteyer as Celine Dion. As Celine, Ana said Jewish people owned all the movie studios and banks. But the ADL is more upset at what Christina said, "Christians have forgiven Jews for killing our Lord." What's next? Ana as Martha Stewart offending sweatshop owners? Maybe Cheri Oteri could play Kathie Lee.

ABC Studios Evacuated The casts of The View and All My Children got quite a scare when someone called in a bomb threat. ABC studios in New York had to be evacuated during the taping of both shows...a cruel prank in more ways than one: AMC was taping the Crystal Ball and most of the female stars were in skimpy dresses.

Cain's Comeback It's a bird. It's a plane. It's Dean Cain! He's best known for his role as Superman in the TV
