If Kevin Federline’s new Web site came as a surprise, it shouldn’t.
All sorts of celebrities have their own Web site, and their own forum for spouting wisdom like Kevin’s proclamation, “Now that I have your full attention, never judge a book by its cover.”
Can you handle this truth?

BABY TALK
Meet the Barkers’ baby
MTV has a new reality star on its hands.
Ex-Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and his wife, actress Shanna Moakler, welcomed a baby girl on Christmas Eve, People magazine reports.
The couple, which stars on the MTV series “Meet the Barkers,” named the girl Alabama Louella Barker. Looks like dad has inspiration for a new tattoo.
Barker and Moakler have a 2-year-old son, Landon, and Moakler has a 6-year-old daughter, Atiana, from a previous relationship with boxer Oscar De La Hoya.
Winged by Oprah
The sky’s the limit for Oprah Winfrey (above), so long as she avoids the birds.
The talk-show queen’s private jet was forced to return to the city airport in Santa Barbara, Calif., after its windshield was cracked in a collision with a bird, officials said.
Winfrey and her boyfriend, Stedman Graham, were not hurt in the incident, which occurred around 12:30 p.m. Monday just after the Gulfstream jet had taken off, said Santa Barbara Fire Department spokesman John Ahlman.
“We see these things pretty frequently,” Ahlman said of the cracked windshield. The plane will remain grounded until it can be repaired.
Holding court
A New Mexico judge lifted a restraining order against late-night TV host David Letterman (right). Colleen Nestler of Santa Fe had claimed Letterman was sending her messages through code words and gestures. Letterman’s lawyers contended the order was without merit. Responding to a question from the judge on Tuesday, Nestler said she had no proof of the allegations she had made against him.
Book it
J.K. Rowling expects to have a busy 2006, “the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series.” In a recent posting on her Web site, she wrote: “I contemplate the task with mingled feelings of excitement and dread, because I can’t wait to get started … and I can’t quite imagine life without Harry.”
