Jessica "Don't Call Me Latina" Alba seemed a bit more chipper than usual last night.

The very pregnant star showed off her growing belly and tatas as she left Mr. Chow's restaurant in Beverly Hills on Monday night.

That place is always swarming with paparazzi, so she knew she'd have her picture taken.

If she tried to block her face while leaving Mr. Chow's, that would have just been so ridiculous.

We're surprised she didn't!

For Madonna fans in New York City yesterday, the wait was finally over. After four days of waiting in lines, hardcore fans scored wristbands granting free admission to the Material Mom's Manhattan show. The concert, which came days after the release of her "Hard Candy" album, was said to be a "thank you" for Madge's loyal fans. "I think it's a great way for real fans to get in and that's what Madonna wants," said her publicist Liz Rosenberg to the New York Post, "We who all work on Madonna's behalf have made a very concerted effort to make sure that as many tickets as possible get into the hands of real fans." Only the most devoted fans would do what it took to obtain the coveted free wristbands -- the line began forming this weekend as hopefuls chugged coffee and camped out in hopes of seeing the pop legend's concert.

We have an update on Lai Thi Dao, the Vietnamese teen disfigured by a 16 pound tumor that we told y’all about last week.

Well, after 12 hours of surgery, doctors at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center successfully removed the tumor!

The potentially life-threatening operation went off without any complications, thankfully.

The tumor had consumed the lower half of the teen’s face. It had been growing since she was 3 and eventually accounted for roughly one-third of her body weight.

Doctors told the media that Lai's tumor was one of the largest ever reported.

The teen hopes to finally attend school once she recovers and returns to Vietnam.

The International Kids Fund, which helps foreign children with urgent health needs, is seeking donations to pay for the surgery.
