Kristin Cavallari won’t divulge whether she will be joining MTV’s The Hills, only saying that “it’s a great show.” But she’s already partying like the cast – celebrating her 21st birthday in Las Vegas.

The former Laguna Beach star marked the rite of passage at Luxor’s LAX nightclub, where she danced to Soulja Boy and hung with friends.

“My first official drink was Grey Goose and soda,” she said. “It’s really exciting. I can go to the clubs and not worry about anything.”

She was joined by fellow Laguna Beach alum Alex Murrel, and spent the night chatting up former flame Matt Leinart, who coincidentally was seated at an adjacent table in the VIP section.

Following her dinner at Company American Bistro, Cavallari’s highlight was easily the sparkling birthday cake that was brought out for her.

Saturday night capped the weekend-long celebration for the onetime Lauren Conrad rival. As soon as the clock struck midnight Saturday, the newly single Cavallari (she recently broke up with Nick Zano) headed to Pure Nightclub to take in the sights.

And what about the guys? Cavallari wouldn’t reveal details on her love life, only saying that she is dating “and having fun.”

As Britney Spears’s hospital drama came to an end Saturday morning, Lynne Spears was back home in Kentwood, La., mourning another family member.

Nearly a year after her sister’s death, Lynne stood before the grave of Sandra Bridges Covington, who had died of ovarian cancer Jan. 21.

“It’s been a hard year,” Covington’s former sister-in-law, Libby Covington, said from Amite, La., noting that the grieving process has been difficult amid the constant media attention the family receives. “There’s something new every day.”

At the Tangipahoa (La.) Cemetery on Saturday, silk hydrangeas, white daisies and pink roses adorned the gravestone, along with a Christmas arrangement.

Sandra Covington was a beloved member of the Spears’s extended family, and had been crucial in Britney’s young life.

“Sandra’s like a second mother to Britney,” Lynne said in 2002, as her sister first began battling cancer and undergoing treatment, including a bone marrow transplant. “This kind of thing makes you grow up.”

At the time, as Lynne was caring for her sister, Britney helped look after Jamie Lynn and said in the same interview, “I pray every night about it.”

After Covington passed away last year, Spears attended her funeral at the First United Methodist Church in Amite but quickly left town. A month later, she landed in rehab, prompting family friends to wonder if her aunt’s death was at the root of some of her problems.

“She was very close to her aunt,” Britney’s former dance teacher Renee Donewar said. “I know her death was real rough on her.”

Jack Black and wife Tanya Haden are adding another baby to their family, the actor said Saturday.

“Yes, she’s expecting,” Black told reporters at the Be Kind Rewind press day at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. He declined to name a due date.

The couple, who eloped in March 2006, are already parents to a 1½-year-old boy.

So far, Black says he’s taken on parenting with a “day-by-day” strategy. “I’ve been told that two children is three times as hard as one child,” he joked, “but then strangely three children is easier than one.”

Rapper T.I. (real name Clifford Harris) and his on again, off again girlfriend Tameka “Tiny” Cottle of the ’90s R&B group Xscape, are expecting another child together, the musician’s rep confirms.

Cottle, 32, recently posted the news that the couple are expecting a baby boy on her personal Myspace page, which has garnered many congratulatory comments from friends and fans.

This will be the fifth child for T.I., 27, and his second with Cottle. The couple are already parents to son King Harris, 3.

News of the pregnancy comes in the middle of T.I.’s house arrest sentence in Georgia for illegal weapons charges. The rapper was arrested last October for allegedly trying to buy machine guns and silencers. He was released on a $3 million bond until the outcome of his trial, which is still pending, but must be under home confinement.
