Six months ago, we reported a juicy piece of celebrity gossip: That John Edwards, then a top-tier candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, had gotten a mistress named Rielle Hunter pregnant with his love child.

Soon after, it was dismissed as just that: gossip.

But Tuesday, at 2:40 a.m. Pacific Time, John Edwards was supposedly caught visiting Rielle Hunter and the secret love child in a Los Angeles hotel!

Not only does the National Enquirer say this took place, but the magazine claims it was there in person - and that it had been investigating John Edwards for the past six months after breaking the alleged affair initially.

The married ex-senator from North Carolina - whose wife Elizabeth continues to battle cancer - met with his divorcée mistress at the Beverly Hilton on Monday night, July 21 - and didn’t leave until early the next morning.

According to the Enquirer, Rielle Hunter had driven down to L.A. from Santa Barbara, Calif., with a male friend for the rendezvous with John Edwards.

The former senator attended a press event Monday afternoon with Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on the topic of how to combat homelessness.

But a months-long investigation had yielded information that Rielle Hunter and John Edwards had arranged to secretly meet afterward to spend time with both his mistress - and the possible love child he has denied is his.

Here’s how it supposedly went down…

At 9:45 p.m. Monday, John Edwards appeared at the hotel and was dropped off at a side entrance. The Enquirer’s Alan Butterfield witnessed him get out of a BMW driven by a male companion and stroll into the hotel.

Said Butterfield: “John Edwards was not carrying anything with him. He walked in alone. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He was looking around nervously before he entered the hotel.”

“Inside, he interestingly bypassed the lobby and ducked down a side stairs to go to the bottom floor to catch the elevator up - rather than taking the elevator in the main lobby. He went out of his way not to be seen.”Meanwhile, Rielle Hunter had reserved rooms 246 and 252 under the name of the friend who had accompanied her from Santa Barbara, Bob McGovern.

Rielle was in one room and McGovern was in another with her baby. This allowed her and John Edwards to spend time alone, a source revealed.

Edwards went out of the hotel briefly with Rielle Hunter, they were observed by the National Enquirer and then went back to her room, where he stayed until attempting to sneak out of the hotel unseen at 2:40 a.m. (PST).

But when he emerged alone from an elevator into the hotel basement he was greeted by several reporters from the celebrity news and gossip tabloid.

A reporter asked Edwards why he was visiting Rielle Hunter and whether he was ready to confirm that he was the father of her baby.

Shocked to see a reporter, and without saying anything, Edwards ran up the stairs leading from the hotel basement to the lobby.

But, spotting a celebrity gossip photographer waiting for him there, he doubled back into the basement. As he emerged from the stairwell, the reporter questioned him yet again about his hookup with Rielle Hunter.

Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom.

He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the National Enquirer about what he was doing in the hotel.

A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men’s room, while preventing the reporters from following him out of the hotel.

OK has come out with the pictures of Honor Marie Warren, who of course was born early last month to parents Jessica Alba and Cash Warren. There is nothing to say that she is absolutely gorgeous but when your parents look like that, you have genes working for you. I love looking at the celebrity baby pics. When they’re all sharing a quiet moment and the whole family is wrapped up in cuddly sheets. In real life, baby pics include at least one exhausted parent, a screaming child, and everyone is standing amongst a complete disaster that they once remember as being their living room. These are certainly beautiful though and Jessica, of course, looks amazing!

After professing her love and saying how she was so much looking forward to “my Blakey being home,” Amy Winehouse couldn’t even show up for her husband’s sentencing. Now there’s support for ya. But alas, her Blakey won’t be home for awhile. Blake Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months in prison for beating up a manager of a pub two years ago. Celebrity Dirty Laundry has some details about what happened in the courtroom,

“Judge David Radford told Fielder-Civil that he behaved in a ‘gratuitous, cowardly, and disgraceful’ way. Fielder-Civil has already served around nine months on remand. Amy Winehouse was not in court today to support her husband. Fielder-Civil appealed to a judge to let him walkfree so he could become a role model to the troubled singer. Through his barrister, Fielder-Civil told of his love for his wife and determination that both will devote themselves to becoming clean.”

Yeah, what judge in their right mind would believe that he was so looking forward to getting out of prison just so that he and wifey could straighten out their act and behave like regular people. I also don’t know any judge that would let him off easy. This is the same man that was recently caught on video doing heroin behind bars! That’s exactly who I want as my role model. But where was Amy? Was she so strung out that she couldn’t even let her husband know that she was thinking of him? Or is the tension so great between her and Blake’s mom, who was there, that she didn’t want to see her? I don’t know, I think this is one of those situations that you do your job no matter what. And Amy’s job was to be there for her husband, no matter what.

So the news that Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are expecting is old news since that came out last week sometime. However, they are welcoming another new addition to their family - a home in Brentwood that they are having built for them. In the pictures she is wearing a very baggy sweatshirt that while cute, is not usual Jen style. She has been trying to hide her belly for awhile now but especially since her Alias costar, Victor Garber, spilled the beans last week that she was actually five months pregnant. From Chicago Sun Times,

“While Garner and Affleck were a bit taken aback by Garber’s blabbing, an associate of the couple said Sunday, ”Both Ben and Jen love Victor. … This will not cause any rift in their friendship.”

Jennifer Garner still loves Victor Garber despite his loose tongue. Garber confirmed the news to usmagazine.com. Garner is about five months along. The actress and Affleck also are the parents of a two-year-old daughter, Violet.

Garber, now on the ABC series ”Eli Stone” officiated at Garner and Affleck’s 2005 wedding.”

By looking at the various reports, it seems as though Garber first tried to explain it away saying that his words were, “taken out of context.” Yeah, there are a lot of ways to misunderstand, “She’s five months pregnant.” I hope that he’s come to his senses and will just admit that he goofed. Well, it wouldn’t have been long anyway. She totally has a bump and ya just can’t hide that forever!
