Heather behind lock and key
Monday, September 29th, 2008Happy Monday kiddies and away I go. I now feel like I am back to my usual schedule. You all know how I hate to start things off with sad news, but here it goes. Legendary film star Paul Newman, whose brilliant blue eyes, good looks and talent made him one of Hollywood’s top actors over six decades has died after a long battle with cancer, a spokesman said on Saturday. He was 83, and he died on Friday night, said his Los Angeles-based spokesman Jeff Sanderson. Newman appeared in some 60 movies, including “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,” “The Hustler,” “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid,” and “The Sting.” He earned nine Oscar nominations for acting and won the best actor honor for 1986’s “The Color of Money.” My deepest regrets go out to his family.

Now on to the fun light-hearted stuff. Actress Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of impaired driving in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday. The former Melrose Place star, was arrested by police after a local reported her “driving erratically” upon leaving a parking lot in the coastal city. She was held in custody overnight and released on Sunday without posting bail. The authorities are conducting tests to determine whether or not the actress was under the influence of drugs behind the wheel after ruling out suspicions she had been drinking alcohol, according to TMZ.com. Ha, I am still amazed that Richie is the sober stable one of that relationship.

According to Perth, Australia’s Sunday Times, Heath Ledger’s daughter, Matilda Rose, will inherit her late father’s $16.6 million estate. Ledger’s father Kim tells People.com that this was the plan, “from the moment my boy passed away.” “There was never any question about the fact that Heath’s estate would go to Matilda. Never a question. We are very close to Michelle and Matilda.” Good for her. That means lots of trips to FAO Schwarz.
The princess of pop is back, folks. Mere weeks after winning three Moon Men at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards for her video for “Piece of Me,” Britney Spears’ dance-tinged new single, “Womanizer,” debuted on New York radio station Z100 on Friday, and it seems she’s not only coming back – she’s doing it with a vengeance. In the song, Britney lashes out at a player who can’t stick with one girl, singing, “Say it, play it how you wanna… But no way I’m ever gonna fall for you, never you, baby.” Woohoo. I am still excited about Britney’s big comeback.

Well this is quite exciting. Bruce Springsteen will perform at next year’s Super Bowl after months of rumors reporting the rock veteran will take center-stage at the event. Springsteen and his E Street Band are slated to headline the half-time show at the NFL showdown in Tampa Bay, Florida – the biggest event in the U.S. TV calendar – according to football bosses. But one person who won’t be happy with the rocker playing the half-time show is R&B hunk Usher, who hoped his NFL season kick-off performance earlier this month would help him land the coveted Super Bowl half-time show. Woohoo, way to represent the dirty jerz.

Ellen DeGeneres feels “blessed” since marrying longtime girlfriend PORTIA DE ROSSI – insisting married life has made her “more in love”. The beloved TV star wed former Ally McBeal actress De Rossi last month following the legalization of gay marriages in California in May 2008. DeGeneres recently urged people to vote against the state’s Proposition 8 bill which would change the law back to make same-sex marriages illegal. Way to do the lesbian thing with class, unlike Lindsay Lohan.

And finally, Dennis Quaid has slammed his ex-wife Meg Ryan for revealing all about their 2000 marriage break-up, insisting her allegations of his infidelity will only cause their son Jack more “pain” and “turmoil”. Ryan and Quaid have refused to divulge the details of their split for the past eight years, but the actress once dubbed ‘America’s sweetheart’ recently opened up about the dark days that followed her divorce. She told InStyle magazine, “Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced.” But Quaid is furious about her candid comments, and has chastised Ryan for dragging up the past – saying she should think twice about what she airs to the press if she wants to protect their 16-year-old son’s feelings.
