2 big births

Monday, May 29th, 2006

And away I go. Well where do I start. I feel a little bit out of the loop, I was away at the lakehouse all weekend, and I apparently missed a story like this. I just want to thank Sonja for tipping me off to this story.

The Associated Press is reporting that the baby has arrived — and no, they didn’t name her Brangelina. Thousands of miles from Hollywood but still within easy reach of celebrity hype, Angelina Jolie gave birth to Brad Pitt’s daughter Saturday in Africa, Pitt’s publicist announced. “The night of May 27, 2006 in Namibia, Africa, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt welcomed their daughter Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt. No further information is being given,” publicist Cindy Guagenti said in a statement. No pictures will be released of the baby said Pitt, and they would respect their privacy at this time of celebration.

Some more exciting baby news to report. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rosedale welcomed their child into this world over the weekend. The baby’s name is Kingston, which is just a killer name. The happy parents welcomed in a healthy boy on Friday through a c-section in California. It is being reported that the mom and dad are doing well.

Some sad news to report, Paul Gleason, who portrayed the principal in 80’s classic, The Breakfast Club has passed away. Gleason was 67 years old and died on Saturday. Gleason died at a local hospital Saturday of mesothelioma, a rare form of lung cancer linked to asbestos, said his wife, Susan Gleason. My best wishes goes out to him and his family. He was truly memorable in that role.

The New York Post reports that during Britney Spears’ trying week in New York City earlier this month, the pregnant singer was angry that she was alone and hubby Kevin Federline was not with her. “Kevin’s focus has been on everything but Britney,” a source said. “Instead, he has been putting all of his energy into his music career - which isn’t going to go anywhere. Brit is definitely unhappy in this relationship and feels stuck.

Reality TV star Kristin Cavallari is set to take over the role of Daisy Duke from her rumored love rival Jessica Simpson in the next ‘Dukes of Hazard’ movie. Cavallari was rumored to be dating Simpson’s estranged husband Nick Lachey earlier this year, and now she’s hoping to pick up one of the pop star’s cast-off movie roles. The film’s producer Bill Gerber, is working on a prequel and is desperate to cast Cavallari in the role, which marked Simpson’s film debut. It would be interesting to see how this one works out.

Taylor, Prince and Clay?

Friday, May 26th, 2006

And away I go.
 

Let me start off this report by congratulating Taylor Hicks.  As I reported before it was announced, he is your new American Idol.  The show was watched by more than 36.8 million people, and featured guest appearances by Prince, Toni Braxton, Mary J. Blige, and Live.  Did anyone else see David Hassellhof crying at the end when they announced the winner?  What a giant Mary!  Speaking of celebrities there, did you see Clay?  Wow did he look hot.  And by hot I mean like KD Lang.

Katharine McPhee from “American Idol” will be fine! She told Extra that Stephen Spielberg wants to have a meeting with her. Jon Meyer even asked her out on a date. Katharine said no and that she has a boyfriend.

Elizabeth Taylor has agreed to sit down with Larry King for what is expected to be one of her final television interviews.  Reports are saying that Taylor is near death.  When she does pass on, it will be a very sad day.
 

Variety is reporting that Cate Blanchett has signed on to play Bob Dylan in a new biopic, “I’m Not There”.  Blanchett will portray one aspect of the legendary singer-songwriter’s personality, the androgynous phase of his life.  The film also stars Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams. I did not know that Bob Dylan ever dressed in drag. 

Kate 

Katie Couric’s last day as “Today Show” anchor is next Wednesday, May 31st.  People have already begun lining up to pay tribute.  Tom Brokaw said yesterday that, “It takes just one woman from NBC to replace 3 men at CBS.”
 

Brad Pitt skipped the Cannes premiere due to the imminent birth of his child with Angelina Jolie.  The couple is having their baby in the African country of Namibia.  A poll this week revealed that more than ½ of the people in Namibia would like to see the birth of Pitt and Jolie’s child be made a national holiday.  Pitt and Jolie have now said that they will allow the governor of Namibia name their child when he/she is born.  In related news, a photographer in Namibia has been arrested for the second time for trailing Angelina Jolie.  All journalists looking to cover the arrival of the baby must now have written permission from Pitt and Jolie to even cross the border into Namibia.  I think that might be a little drastic.
 

Sandro Monetti of Sky News reports that John Travolta and Jennifer Lopez reportedly don’t want Jessica Simpson to join them in the movie version of ‘Dallas’, opting instead for the more experienced actress Lindsay Lohan to play Lucy Ewing.

 And finally, I just want to with everyone a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend.  It is no surprise where I will be.  Pics from the weekend will be posted on Monday or Tuesday.

Ham vrs. McFever (Get it Taylor {Ham} versus Katherine McPhee {McFever})

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

And away I go.

So, tonight is a huge night for me. It is the performance show of American Idol showdown between Taylor and Catherine. Go Taylor. Die Catherine. They will each be performing 3 songs tonight. Look out for guest appearances by Nick Lachey and Carrie Underwood tonight.

So get this. Brawl at a New York night club following a fashion show over the weekend between two unlikely opponents – Tommy Hilfiger and Axl Rose! Tommy Hilfiger, at an after-party with his girlfriend, reportedly sat down his jacket on a cushioned seat. Axl Rose came along and decided he wanted the seat and moved Hilfiger’s coat. Tommy Hilfiger then threw several punches at Rose’s face, knocking him out cold before being subdued by lounge employees. Axl Rose recounts the altercation as one of the most surreal things that has ever happened to him. Oh man has Axl fallen from the graces. He use to be the biggest thing in rock.

Axl

So everybody’s favorite drunk is at it again. No I am not talking about NJ native Tara Reid. “Lost” actress Michelle Rodriguez has been sentenced to 60 more days in jail after violating her probation. The actress recently served 5 days in jail for a D.U.I. infraction.

DUI

Despite all of the controversy and bad reviews, “The Davinci Code” took in $77 million domestic gross and made $224 million worldwide over the weekend. Critics have panned the film, which premiered last week at The Cannes Film Festival in France, calling it “boring” and “ridiculous”. By the way, the numbers for opening weekend beat out all of the “Harry Potter” films and all of the “Lord of the Rings” movies as well. I have not seen it yet, but I did read the book.

Madonna can still push the envelope. Madonna just kicked off her “Confessions” tour and she has already upset the Catholic Church. At one point in the show Madonna comes out mounted on a 20ft high mirrored crucifix with a crown of thorns on her head.

So celebrities just have too much money. Nicholas Cage just spent 4 million dollars on his own island in the Bahamas. It is a 40 acre island and has a helicopter landing pad on it. I got to admit that is pretty cool.

So Seacrest pulled a bonehead move. American Idol host Ryan Seacrest fell through a glass table during a production meeting in Los Angeles and cut his hand. The KIIS FM radio personality said on his morning show Tuesday he felt like the biggest idiot after the accident at the Kodak Theater, the site of Tuesday night’s American Idol finale, Entertainment Tonight reported. “I decide I’m 155 pounds, I can sit on that thing,” he said, referring to the glass table. “So I sit on the glass and I’m sitting there for 2 1/2 minutes and I put my hand back to the middle of the table and all of a sudden this huge pop and I fall between the framing, into the middle, my legs up in the air in a pool of glass.” Paramedics treated him at the scene and no stitches were necessary. “I am fine,” he said. “The worst part wasn’t the accident … the problem was it set me 45 minutes off my schedule. Oh that Seacrest.

2 more stories to report. So Dawson’s Creek and Brokeback Mountain Alum, Michelle Williams father was arrested in Australia this past week. Mr. Wiliams was arrested for not paying 1.5 million dollars in back taxes. Maybe Michelle can lend him the bail money.

The New York Daily News hears from a source that Paris Hilton played pals in Cannes a voice message from an angry Lindsay Lohan — and called Lohan the C-word. Paris’ rep responded, “I’ve never heard her use that word.” Lindsay admits she’s “mad” at Paris and her pal Brandon Davis, who launched an expletive filled attack on the actress last week.

And away I go…

So last night on American Idol, Elliott Yamin was voted off. This leaves Catherine McPhee and Taylor Hicks left for the final 2. There were less than 1 percent of votes between the 3 of them. I can not wait for the performance show next Tuesday and the results show next Wednesday. Daniel Powter will perform his hit song, that also closes out each show, “Bad Day” during the finale next week. Carrie Underwood will be there on Wednesday to pass the torch to the next champion.

Some sad news to report. “The Daily Mirror” and the BBC were reporting that Paul McCartney and his wife Heather Mills were calling it quits. There is now speculation surrounding the divorce and the large chunk of his $1.5 billion fortune that Mills stands to acquire due to the fact that there was no prenuptial agreement. The couple has a daughter, Beatrice, together. I guess now we will see if Heather Mills is capable of standing on her own two feet. (People she has one leg)

Paul Heather

Nick is better and more popular than Jessica. Nick Lachey’s solo CD, “What’s Left of Me”, debuted at number two on the Billboard Charts and sold more copies in its first week than any of Jessica Simpson’s albums have. Lachey was beat out of the top spot by the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ latest album “Stadium Arcadium”. Their CD took the top spot, the first number one ever for the band. Good job Anthony and Flea. I have their new album on my Ipod and it totally rocks.

This should come as no surprise to anybody really. The National Enquirer is saying that Kevin Federline was asked who was a better love…Britney or his ex fiancé Shar? Can you believe that Kevin hesitated with his answer!!! Um Hi Kevin. Britney is your wife. She is always going to be the answer. What a moron.

OK, 2 more stories to report. OK Denise Richards has officially lost her marbles. US Weekly is reporting that Denise will leave her 2 children, both under the age of 2, with her parents to join Richie and Bon Jovi on tour in Europe. Wow Denise, way to be a good mother.

Denise

And Finally. Charlie Sheen is becoming kind of desperate. Sheen has joined the web site www.MillionaireMatch.com in an attempt to find his ideal woman. Millionaire Match has the pre-requisite of that all of the male members must make at least 1,000,000 a year. I think that Gold Diggers would be driven to this site. Any Takers? Maybe AKD?

Oops Britney Did It Again

Tuesday, May 16th, 2006

And away I go. First, I would like to announce 10 days till Memorial Day Weekend, Holla Bitches.

Oops Britney did it again. Today on the cover of the Daily News, was a picture of Britney Spears driving down The Pacific Coast Highway in her convertible with Sean Preston riding in the back seat. Where is the problem you ask? Well Sean Preston was sitting in his car seat, but he was facing the wrong way. According to California State Law, a child must be in a car seat facing the back seat until the age of 2. Way to live up to my expectations Britney.

The word is out that someone will die on this week’s season finale of “The OC” on Fox. Speculation is that it could be Mischa Barton’s character, only because the actress has publicly expressed desire to move on with her career and leave the show. Others are saying that it could be Peter Gallagher’s character that goes. Producers on the show reportedly shot several different endings so no one really knows what is going to happen. That’s Thursday night at 9 p.m. on Fox immediately following the hour-long series finale of “That 70s Show”, appropriately set on New Year’s Eve 1979.

Big Ole American Idol Update

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

And away I go.So, Chris Daugherty’s career is about to take off. On Extra Tv Thursday night, the rock band Fuel was on the show, personally asking Chris to be the official lead singer of the band. The band’s previous lead singer left in February, and they were impressed with Chris’s version of their song Hemorrhage. He could be the 2nd most successful Idol contestant, after Kelly Clarkson.

OJ Simpson has found a new career to make money. The Juice is releasing a DVD where he pulls practical jokes on unsuspecting people. In one of the scenes he is a used car dealer, attempting to sell his white Bronco. Yes people, THAT WHITE BRONCO. Reportedly he is not getting paid for this DVD upfront, but does have a backend deal. The DVD will be available from the Internet and through infomercials.

Simon Cow ell’s new talent show “America’s Got Talent” will debut on NBC on June 21st with a million dollar prize for the winner. This show is not just about singing. They auditioned everything from singers to magicians, comics, dancers, acrobats and animal acts. Regis Philbin was announced yesterday as the host for the show. Oh Simon, you know lightning can not strike twice. I am thinking this show will be a total stinker.

Speaking of Idol. ‘American Idol’ finalist Katharine McPhee was on an LA radio station this past week, talking about the rumor tat she is a Scientologist. She talked about the security detail that follows her now from the show, the show’s cohost having “The McPheever” and originating the phrase, how she doesn’t have the “hometown” support the other contestants have since she’s from Los Angeles, being shocked to see Chris Daugherty leave on Wednesday, her decision to audition for the show, how their schedule works on the show, and more.

It is official Britney is pregnant Bitches.

Wednesday, May 10th, 2006

And away we go. Another Wednesday, another great update.

So last night on The Late Show with David Letterman, someone dropped by and made a special guest appearance. Miss Britney Spears walked out, to help Dave out with the Top Ten list. Britney also had a little announcement to make. SHE IS PREGNANT BITCHES. I am actually enjoying trampy trailer-trash Britney more than musical superstar Britney. I find this one more amusing. She is 6 weeks along. Interestingly enough, K-Fed did not appear by her side during her appearance.

Here is a link to Britney on Letterman last night.  It is kind of funny watching her stammer through The Top Ten list.

Wow Nick Lachey is really making his rounds since separating from Jessica. This week, Extra is reporting that Nick Lachey is now dating Petra Nemcova. If you do not know who Petra is, she is the model who survived the Tsunami and is now going to any opening, including my paycheck envelope. Oh I kid. They met up at The Kentucky Derby this past weekend, and Extra is reporting that they were holding hands and inseparable by the end of the night.

One of my biggest role models growing up, Zack Morris had a baby this past weekend. Mark Paul Gosselear and his wife welcomed a child into the world this past weekend. I wonder if Slater or Screech will be the baby’s Godfather?

According to the New Zealand Sun, Rolling Stone Keith Richards was rushed to the hospital for a second time following his fall from a coconut tree in Fiji. Doctors had to drill into the legendary guitarist’s skull and the Sun reports that there is a real danger that Richards will never be able to perform again due to possible brain damage and/or paralysis. Man Richards might be the new person to watch, even more than Kimberly Stewart or Britney Spears. The Rolling stones reps are not commenting on the situation at all.

This is kind of scary. Star Magazine is reporting that Jennifer Aniston just purchased a new house over the weekend. The previous owner of the house? Oh well that would by 1980’s fan favorite Mr. T. Either Jennifer Aniston is hard up for cash, and could only afford what one would think is at most a 3 bedroom house that was previously owned by Mr. T, or Mr. T invested his money very well, and made out like a bandit.

As I reported earlier, Star Jones is exiting The View. Well according to Page 6, Barbara Walters has chosen a replacement for Jones. It will be BFF of Oprah, Gayle King. I like that fit. Anytime Gayle is on Queen Oprah’s show, she always is articulate and comes off beautiful.

And finally, Life & Style Weekly reports Britney Spears is meeting with her family and lawyer to craft a divorce plan while keeping it secret from hubby Kevin Federline. “Brit’s been very unhappy, and I think she needs to find some peace,” a source said. “Once the Spears family gets its game plan together, the idea is to spring a divorce on Kev without warning.” My main goal is now to start and end each update with a Britney Spears story.

Anna Nicole Pregnant?

Friday, May 5th, 2006

And away we go…So is everybody out there excited it is Friday? I know I am bitches.

Is Anna Nicole Smith pregnant? Well that is the rumor surrounding around the Internet. I am hearing that Anna Nicole got sperminated by a friend, who is now attempting to extort her for millions. This past week, the Supreme Court ruled in her honor, potentially awarding her hundreds of millions from the estate of her dead husband. This unknown friend wants custody of the baby once it is born. Only time will tell on this one.

Anna 

Star Jones’ time on “The View” may be limited. Jones’ contract runs out in August and Rosie O’Donnell is set to join the show in September. O’Donnell and Jones are not on the best of terms right now as it is being reported that Jones was noticeably miffed when O’Donnell was announced as the new co-host. O’Donnell publicly criticized Jones after her massive weight loss and was upset that Jones would not admit that the weight all came off because of gastric bypass surgery. We hear that Star Jones will probably not come back to the show next season. Rumor has it she is shopping around a talk show of her own. I thought Tyra Banks already had that show?

James Gandolfini was run off the road by a New York City cabbie yesterday. Gandolfini was riding his Vespa scooter in the city when he was struck by the door of the cab. His helmet went flying off and the actor was lying in the street. He is since said to be in good condition. Gandolfini’s scooter is in the repair shop. Thank God, because he would have no career in about a year after The Sopranos is over.

Has Ashlee Simpson had work done? Pictures are suggesting that Simpson has gone under the knife this week and had a nose job. She was photographed this week sporting a nose that appeared different from the one she had just one week ago. This is why I report on my site, to punk out celebrity flaws.

Mischa Hilfigger?

Tuesday, May 2nd, 2006

And away we go…

Super-hottie Mischa Barton is taking her career to the next level. She will be going the way of Jessica Simpson and Britney Spears, and releasing her own clothing line. Barton is currently the face of Bebe and also has appeared in advertisements for Keds sneakers. The high-end label will hit the shelves in November or December of this year.

Time” magazine yesterday released its annual “100 Most Influential People in the World” issue. This year’s issue includes George Clooney, Dane Cook, Rachael Ray, JJ Abrams, Bill James, Angelina Jolie and Oprah Winfrey to name a few. OK, let’s think about this some what logically. Rachael “just a little bit of evoo” Ray and Dane Cook are on the list? I do watch and totally enjoy 30 minute meals, but is she really influential? And Dane Cook is a very funny comic, but is he influential. And where the heck is Ryan Seacrest on the list?

Tonight is American Idol and man will it be interesting. The final 5 take the stage on “American Idol” tonight. A bit of a twist tonight, each performer will do two songs – one from the year they were born and one from the current Billboard charts. Tune in tonight at 8 p.m. on Fox. So Paris will do something from 1990? Is she going to do Hammer? Vanilla Ice?

Speaking of Paris, the other Paris in the public eye has broken up with Stavros Niarchos. Stavros and Paris have been inseparable since they started dating back in the fall of 2005. Last month, Paris threw a 21st birthday bash for Stavros in a club in Vegas.

This is a heartwarming story. American Idol’s latest cast-off, Kellie Pickler, is happy today. Her Dad Clyde “Bo” Pickler Jr. was released from a Florida prison yesterday. He was in prison for more than 3 years for stabbing a man in 2003. He will serve out his parole in Florida. Hopefully they can make up for the time they lost as father and daughter.

I think Keith Richards might have 9 lives. Keith Richards has been released from a New Zealand hospital after being treated for a concussion following his fall from a palm tree in Fiji and subsequent jet ski accident. Richards will have time to recuperate – the Stones aren’t scheduled to do another live show until late May. So what farewell tour is this one for the stones? 8th? 9th?

There are reports this morning that Britney Spears plans to hold a press conference this coming Thursday. No one, even Spears’ closest aides, has any idea on what she plans on announcing at that press conference. Meanwhile, her publicists at the William Morris Agency are still fuming that they were the last to know about her pregnancy.
