Baldwin Football Brawl

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Happy Turkey Day Bitches, and away I go.
 

 

Well I might as well start this update off with a Thanksgiving story.  Hollywood’s First Family the Baldwins celebrate Thanksgiving each year with a high-spirited game of American football at the clan’s New York home.  After tucking into their turkey on Thursday, actor brothers Alec, William, Daniel and Stephen will head outside to battle it out on the football field.  And youngest brother Stephen Baldwin reveals the siblings are ultra-competitive.  The Usual Suspects star tells WENN, “We always have the Baldwin brothers’ turkey touch football match. Alec tries to dominate, he is of course the King of the Baldwins, but we’ll let him run half the pitch before throwing the ball really hard between his legs. It’s the right sort of discipline.  I wonder if Alec calls anyone a selfish pig?

Former MTV TRL host Carson Daly is to become a first time father.  The TV host, who now fronts NBC’s Last Word With Carson Daly, will welcome his first child with Siri Pinter in the spring.  A representative for the star tells People.com, “Carson is thrilled to be a father and they are looking forward to an extra special Thanksgiving this year with family and friends.”  Before settling down, Daly dated party girl Tara Reid and actress Jennifer Love Hewitt.   Imagine the knockers on the baby if Jennifer was his baby’s mama?

Actresses Kim Cattrall and Sharon Stone are poised to return to the U.S. police force for a new Police Academy film.  Sex and the City star Cattrall appeared alongside Steve Guttenberg in the original 1984 comedy, while Stone featured in Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol in 1987.  And Guttenberg is hoping to bring both stars back for another movie in the film’s franchise – more than a decade after the seventh installment, 1994’s Police Academy: Mission to Moscow, was released.  He says, “We are doing a new movie and it is going to be great fun. A script is being written and so far it is really great, everyone from the original movies who is still around will return.  Well that could be interesting.  A bunch of washed up actors, all portraying cops.

Britney Spears has announced the first dates on her upcoming world tour – just days after reportedly asking a Los Angeles court to grant her permission to embark on the global trek next year.  Since her breakdown earlier this year, the pop star is under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie, who handles all her legal and financial affairs.  And despite previously announcing plans to play a string of live dates in 2009, the star is barred from making her own business decisions and the tour was said to hang on the verdict of a judge.  Spears attended a conservatorship hearing in Los Angeles on Friday to reportedly lay out plans for the live dates. She is said to have told the court commissioner she feels competent to complete the work and wants permission to go ahead with the arrangements, according to TMZ.com.  All I know is I planning on camping out when the tri-state area tickets go on sale.

Model Brooke Burke has won Dancing with the Stars.  The TV personality beat out competition from NFL star Warren Sapp and former ‘N Sync singer Lance Bass – who was booted out of the finale first, landing the season’s third place.  Burke, who is a mother of four, has been the favorite to win throughout the series, which saw celebrity competitors including Oscar-winner Cloris Leachman and young actor Cody Linley.  Burke worried fans after she injured her foot during a dance routine, but made a rousing return to form – scoring top points 16 times.  The star’s professional dance partner Derek Hough says, “I actually can’t believe it. I really can’t. I honestly can’t. The journey’s been so long. It’s been tough. It’s been wonderful.”  Previous finalists in the hit TV show include former Spice Girl Melanie Brown, actor Mario Lopez and Bass’ former band mate Joey Fatone.   Yeah, this was the first season I watched religiously.  I am just happy that old hag Cloris didn’t win.  I bet she is so old she farts dust.

Christina Aguilera has heaped praise on fellow new mother Nicole Richie – insisting she is “blown away” by the socialite’s mothering skills.  Aguilera and Richie gave birth to their first tots just a day apart in January, and have grown close over their maternal duties.  And the singer, who is mother to 10-month-old Max, is tired of hearing negative opinions on Richie abilities as a mother – she has “nothing but good things to say” about the star.  She tells Hollyscoop.com, “I really appreciate people that exude a lot of talent and hard work. Because our little ones were born one day apart, I have had the opportunity of getting to know her.  Wow, that is a great change, for the better.

In his first interview since his son’s birth on Nov. 20, Pete Wentz told Ryan Seacrest Tuesday that he was so nervous when wife Ashlee Simpson went into labor; he “almost had a heart attack.”   ”Right before she went into labor, I was like, ‘Oh my God, I think I’m having a heart attack!’  Wentz told the KIIS-FM radio show host.   ”Natural things start going on in your body,” he said. “My heart started beating really fast. You see your wife in all this pain, and you really don’t know what’s happening.”  Still, his wife took care of him!   She “took care of me and made sure I was OK and then we went into labor. That’s why she’s a saint.   I still think he was too busy applying the guy-liner.

And finally, 90210 star Shenae Grimes says people who wonder about rumors swirling around her – that she has an eating disorder, behaves badly on set and is a party girl – should ask her before believing what they read.   “Nobody has asked me about it. I really can’t help what someone thinks of me because they are reading a paper and choosing to believe it,” Grimes, who denies the rumors, tells PEOPLE in its new issue.  The 19-year-old Toronto native says the experience of moving to Los Angeles earlier this year parallels that of her character, high school student Annie Wilson. “It was a huge culture shock,” says Grimes, who became tabloid fodder the minute she was cast in the CW show, a remake of the uber-successful 1990s FOX drama.  I think she looks totally nasty.  I like a girl with a little meat on her bones.  And a giant rack.  And a full rear end.

Spiedi Jumps in to Marriage

Happy Monday kiddies and away I go.

 

 

I would like to believe I am one of the first legitimate news sources to report this. Heidi Montag is now Mrs. Pratt! The Hills stars eloped in Mexico, reports Us Weekly in its newest issue that hits stands Wednesday. The couple actually married on November 20 at the One & Only Palmilla Resort, outside Cabo San Lucas. The couple did not plan the wedding and married on a whim (but photographers and a white dress were conveniently there?). No family or friends were present. The ceremony lasted 15 minutes. “The minute we said our vows, I couldn’t stop crying,” Montag told Us Weekly. The magazine also reports that at the altar, Pratt told his new wife, “Heidi, from the moment you came into my life, I knew my life would never be the same without you. You are the light in my life like the sun to the earth! Your loving warmth makes me want to be a better person. Being with you, I feel complete. I’m honored to even be able to call you my wife. You are the most amazing, loving and caring woman on this planet. I will love you forever and always.” Oh wow, that is one thing that LC didn’t do first.

Michelle Williams says she misses the late Australian film star Heath Ledger, the father of her 3-year-old daughter Matilda. The couple broke up shortly before Ledger died in January of an accidental prescription drug overdose at the age of 28. However, Williams and Ledger reportedly had remained close until his death. People magazine said that during a recent interview with Newsweek, Williams broke down and wept when Ledger’s name was mentioned. “It’s so sad,” she told Newsweek. Um yeah, you think. Leave the poor woman alone. Damn Paparazzi.

Pop star/actress Hilary Duff has developed a crush on movie vampire Robert Pattinson, and told her boyfriend to watch out. The “So Yesterday” singer admits she’s smitten with the sexy Brit, who plays vampire Edward Cullen in new movie Twilight – and now she’s on the hunt for her own bloodsucking beau. She says, “I told my boyfriend, I was like, Edward Cullen… I mean, find me a vampire, you might be done…!’ He’s handsome.” Ahh, how cute. He is so much better than Benji Madden.

Speaking of Twilight, Summit Entertainment said in Los Angeles it is officially moving forward with production of “New Moon,” the sequel to its just-opened “Twilight” vampire movie. The announcement was made Saturday. Starring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, Twilight earned more than $70 million during its first weekend in U.S. theaters. Twilight and New Moon are based on a series of contemporary vampire books written by Stephanie Meyer. “I don’t think any other author has had a more positive experience with the makers of her movie adaptation than I have had with Summit Entertainment. I’m thrilled to have the chance to work with them again on New Moon,” the author said in a statement. Yeah, I saw it Saturday morning and I loved it.

Actress Jodie Sweetin is “trying to stay positive” following her split from husband Cody Herpin – for the sake of their baby daughter. The former Full House star, 26, filed for legal separation from Herpin, 31, on Wednesday in Orange County, California. Sweetin married the movie set designer in July 2007, weeks after meeting him for the first time. They welcomed daughter, Zoie, on April 12. And Sweetin’s agent, Stella Alex, tells People.com that the actress is refusing to break down, because she needs to care for the seven-month-old tot. She says, “(Sweetin) is trying to stay positive for Zoie. Her focus is the baby. Jodie’s got a huge support system in her family and friends and she thinks this is what’s best for her.” While Sweetin’s estranged husband adds, “Not knowing what’s going on is hard. It’s rough. Marriage is not taken lightly to me. It’s supposed to be forever.” Oh poor Stephanie, at least she has the tell-all book to fall back on.

Super Brit Leona Lewis would love to follow in the footsteps of “inspiring” Beyonce Knowles, and get herself an acting career. The Bleeding Love hitmaker, who won British talent show The X Factor in 2006, looks up to Knowles – and would love to emulate the success of her idol. She says, “Beyonce is great, so lovely and down to earth and talented. She’s inspiring. “I might go into acting like she did. I wouldn’t want to do a music thing though, it would have to be different.” Oh don’t say that, your ass isn’t big enough to be Beyonce.

And finally, Miss Britney Spears much-anticipated album – which includes the smash hit song “Womanizer” – is slated to hit stores next week, and the pop princess dished about the title and how it compares to her previous album. “I called it Circus because I like the fact that you are on the edge of your seat when you are at a circus. You are never bored. You are engulfed in what is going on and you want to know what is going to happen next.” “Circus is a lot lighter than Blackout. Blackout is darker, edgier and a little bit more urban. When I recorded Blackout I was going through a really dark phase in my life and a lot of the songs reflect that. I didn’t go on tour with that album so I will be bringing some of the songs from Blackout on tour with me next year.” Color me there. The world needs a fun Britney record. I mean, Christ, have you seen the economy as of late?

Well it has happenned bitches.

 

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz are the proud parents of a baby boy, and they’re celebrating with some Bronx cheer.  Their representative says the pop and rock star couple have named their son Bronx Mowgli. The baby, born Thursday night, weighed 7 pounds, 11 ounces.  Bronx is the first child for Simpson-Wentz, best known for the hit “Pieces of Me,” and Wentz, bassist for the platinum rock band Fall Out Boy. They were married earlier this year.  Their representative said in a statement: “Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!”  I am sorry, but what a stupid name.  I think they are in the market for a new BMW!”  Think about the initials.
