Pals received a $545 Goldenbleu "Bijou" fringed suede bag stuffed with treats like Kenneth Cole sequined slippers, a Swarovski crystal picture frame, an ostrich feather clip by Lauren Scherr, an Aqua VI sea green "Malia" top and -- of course -- the mama-to-be's perfume, Curious.

What?! No advance copy of "Britney & Kevin: Chaotic and More?!" They were gypped!

Brosnan Gets Bonded Out

James Bond has been put out to pasture. Well, Pierce Brosnan as James Bond has, at least.

The 52-year-old star of "GoldenEye," "Tomorrow Never Dies," "The World Is Not Enough" and "Die Another Day" says he received a call informing him that his 007 services would no longer be needed. "One phone call, that's all it took!" he says.

Brosnan says he's grateful to have played the role, but "it never felt real to me. I've never felt I had complete ownership over Bond. You'd have these stupid one-liners -- which I loathed -- and I always felt phony doing them."

The actor plays a womanizing hitman in an upcoming Bond-free flick, "The Matador."
