Happy Thursday Kiddies and away I go.
Ben Affleck’s mother has become the latest person to let slip about her daughter-in-law Jennifer Garner’s baby news, reportedly confirming Hollywood’s worst-kept secret at a family wedding. When her actor son and his wife failed to make it to the Cape Cod nuptials on July 12, Chris Affleck told nosy guests that Garner “wasn’t up for the trip”. And when guests pressed her for more information, grandma Chris left them with no doubt there is soon to be another family addition. An eyewitness tells Life & Style magazine, “She put her hands on her tummy, patted it gently and gave a huge smile. Then she leaned in and said ‘Baby number two!’” Wow, good for them. Ben Affleck would be a fantastic stay-at-home dad, I mean with his successful career and everything.
The new issue of Us Weekly reports that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie conceived their new twins through in-vitro fertilization. A source told the magazine, “They conceived through in vitro fertilization. They both desperately wanted more babies soon.” And Jolie opted for the pricy procedure so “she wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of trying to get pregnant,” the source said. “She could just knock it out.” Wow, I guess Brad was shooting blanks. For Real.
According to The Dallas Morning News, Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas have purchased a home in the Westlake section of Dallas, Texas. The newspaper reports that the brothers granted power of attorney to their mother, Denise, in order to close the deal. Documents signed June 12 indicate that the “When You Look Me in the Eyes” singers are now the proud owners of a six-bedroom house in a gated community in the suburb of Westlake in Tarrant County. And the real estate agent on the deal (who listed the house for more than $2.8 million) confirmed that the house had been sold – but made no further comment to the paper. Wow, good for them. But I want them to stay in the dirty Jerz Where there roots are.
Usher regrets not spending more time with his father before he died in January. The “Yeah!” singer reconciled with Usher Terry Raymond III after spending much of his life estranged from his parent – and now wishes he had had more time to get to know his dad. Usher admits he was too busy to sit down and talk to the man he always thought had deserted him as a child. He says, “Instead of being there when he was sick, I was working. “There was no amount of money that could have fixed my father’s health, but I could have just spent that time with him.” Now a father himself, Usher accepts there were reasons why his own dad couldn’t be around for him when he was younger. Oh, I am the only one singing Circle Of Life from The Lion King in my head right now.
And finally, Adam Levine loves to play pranks while the band is on tour – even hiring a group of male strippers to surprise girl rockers The Donna’s. Levine organized for the hunks to arrive backstage dressed as policemen in a bid to scare the all-female group. But his practical joke was soon revealed when the officers began to strip off. He tells New York gossip column Page Six, “We were on tour with the Donnas, and we were partying backstage and we hired male strippers. So these male cheese ball strippers came in and the Donnas were panicking. “These guys kind of looked like cops, enough to fool them. Once everyone realized they were strippers, one of the guys plugged in the music to start dancing, and by then everyone was over it, and it was extraordinarily uncomfortable.” Wow, now that is classy Adam. Way to suit up.
