Happy Wednesday Kiddies and away I go.
Representatives for Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo say the celebrity couple has broken up after about three years of dating. Recording artist Lachey was previously married to singer/actress Jessica Simpson. Lachey and Simpson starred in a popular reality television show called Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica. Minnillo is a former MTV host. “They have amicably split but remain good friends who still greatly care for one another. Minnillo’s publicist told People magazine. Another source agreed the exes remain friends. “It was the right thing for both of them to do,” the insider told the publication. Well I have to say 3 years is about 2 and a half years longer than I gave them.
Megan Fox is the undisputed queen of Hollywood beauties – she has topped a poll of the sexiest women in the world for the second year in a row. The Transformers star beat Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson in FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2009 survey. Fox, who came second behind British girl group member Cheryl Cole in the U.K. version of the publication, is only the second celebrity female to retain the title – after Jennifer Lopez was crowned in both 2001 and 2002. Justin Timberlake’s girlfriend Jessica Biel and actress Madeline Zima rounded out the top five, while newcomers to the top ten include Adriana Lima, Anne Hathaway and pop star Katy Perry. Britney Spears enjoyed the biggest leap in popularity – she was 100th in the list in 2008 but reached number 12 in this year’s magazine. You know, I really don’t know what the entire hullabaloo about Megan Fox is. She is not that hot.
The surrogate employed by Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick has given birth to the celebrity couple’s twin daughters. E! News said the babies were born Monday at East Ohio Regional Hospital in Martins Ferry, Ohio. “Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are delighted to announce the healthy arrival of their two daughters at 3:58 p.m. the couple’s representatives said in a statement issued Tuesday.”Marion Loretta Elwell Broderick weighed 5 pounds, 11 ounces, and Tabitha Hodge Broderick weighed 6 pounds. Both Hodge and Elwell are family names on Parker’s side. The babies are doing beautifully and the entire family is over the moon.” The New York-based couple, who are also the parents of 6-year-old James, reportedly are with the surrogate. So why do you think they went the surrogate route? He is a little ring-a-ding-ding? Or her and her giant beak?
Nick Cannon is hoping to make his stint hosting America’s Got Talent a family affair – by persuading his wife Mariah Carey to perform on the hit show. The rapper/actor is set to add TV host to his resume as he takes over from Jerry Springer on the new season, which kicked off earlier this week. And Cannon insists viewers could get a superstar thrown in with the wannabe acts – hinting his superstar partner may take to the stage as she’s a huge fan of the series. He tells MTV, “They keep asking me that – I don’t know. It’s a possibility. She loves the show. ”She has a hot new album coming out. It’s the hottest show on TV so why wouldn’t that work out? So hopefully the timing works out and she does get to come represent.” Is this what Mariah’s career really resorted to? Appearing on level 3 talent shows?
It’s a series with emotional landmines as potent as tarantula cocktails and crocodile-filled obstacle courses. And on Wednesday, NBC’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! ends its three-week run when one star will be crowned the ultimate King, or Queen, of the Jungle. Challenges notwithstanding, the celebrity survivor will also have to stomach the return of former contestants Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, who landed in Costa Rica on Tuesday, as well as Janice Dickinson and Daniel Baldwin, who are also set to return to the jungle. Watching it all go down in fancy high heels has been co-host Myleene Klass, herself a runner-up of Britain’s I’m a Celebrity… in 2006. “Where else are you going to see celebrities without their makeup, without their support network, without luxuries, just showing us who they really are?” Hum I think the doodie is going to hit the fan when Speidi comes back to the jungle.
And finally, some sad news to report. He was TV’s most famous second banana, sitting alongside Johnny Carson during what was arguably the golden age of NBC’s Tonight Show, from 1962 to 1992, welcoming a nightly national audience with his opening cry of “Heeeeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny.” But now that voice is stilled. NBC News announced Tuesday morning that Ed McMahon, 86, had died after a battle with cancer. He had been in the hospital with pneumonia back in January. Oh man, I remember staying up late at night growing up watching The Tonight Show.
