Baldwin Football Brawl
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Happy 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.
