(Newser) – Who’s the boss? For a few Philadelphia 10th graders, it could be Tony Danza. The actor wants to temporarily transition into teaching as part of an A&E reality show, the Inquirer reports. The mayor is on his side, saying Danza “is dedicated to enriching the young people who enter his classroom.” Elsewhere:

  • Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her first child, MTV reports. The reality star's babydaddy is on-off boyfriend Scott Disick.

  • Also from People: Michael Douglas is “devastated” by son Cameron’s drug trafficking charges, he says in a statement, adding, “Any family who has dealt with substance abuse knows how difficult it can be.”
  • Robert Pattinson is definitely dating one of his Twilight co-stars, Jennie Garth tells the New York Daily News—she would know, because she’s married to Twilight dad Peter Facinelli—but she won’t say which one.
  • Anna Nicole Smith lawyer Howard K. Stern will be allowed to move forward with his libel lawsuit against a tell-all author he claims defamed him, the AP reports. Among other things, the book claims Stern pimped Smith to up to 50 men a year.
