Madonna - Keeping Watchful Eye on Daughter, Boyfriend

2010-02-16T15:28:00.007-05:00

Oh look - it's Madonna chaperoning her daughter's date with her boyfriend. Awww.

Ooh wait.

Seriously, Madonna? Your boyfriend, Holy Jesus over there, should truly be dating your daughter. You are 51, he is 22 and your little impressionable daughter is 14.

Do you see anything wrong with this picture?

Joaquin Phoenix Exists!!!!...and he shaved.

2010-01-22T10:58:00.004-05:00

Joaquin Phoenix lives!!

I want to shout it from the rooftops! After the stunt he pulled last year, saying he was quitting acting in order to focus on his hip-hop career, I thought he may have lost his marbles. (Actually I think he and his bro-in-law Casey Affleck filmed it all for some kind of twisted documentary on celebrity.)

Joaquin is lending his support to To Write Love on Her Arms, an organization aimed at suicide prevention with teenagers. Also making a cameo in the video is Miley Cyrus and Liv Tyler.

Which got my gears turning...could Liv & Joaquin has rekindled their romance? The pair dated back in the 90's, and maybe the sparks have captured them again? Isn't it rather odd that two of the people showing up in this video used to date?

Yes, yes - it's suspicious to me to.

Never the less - take a look at Joaquin, alive and well. And looking quite good, I might add.

Katie Holmes: Back To Normal

2010-01-16T14:08:00.005-05:00

Katie Holmes is looking mighty lovely these days. Sure she went through a sort of "style revolution" a few years back. (Remember when she was rocking the short, dramatic bob hair-do?) Yeah - back when she was a style clone of Victoria Beckham.

Those days appear long gone now, as Katie, on the arm of husband Tom Cruise, looks similar her self of yester-year (think the Dawson's Creek days).

Brad Pitt's Beard is...the pitts

2009-06-12T14:07:00.003-04:00

The “Girls Next Door“ star is expecting a baby bunny of her own.

Kendra Wilkinson and fiancee Hank Baskett are expecting their first child. The former "Girls Next Door" star announced the news early Wednesday morning.

"Hank and I are thrilled to announce that we are expecting our first child together. We are touched by the outpouring of support by our family, friends and fans," Wilkinson told Marc Malkin of E! News.

In February, Wilkinson told People magazine that the couple was already planning for parenthood.

"We always talk about [having kids]. He wants kids so [badly], and I do, too," Wilkinson said.

Wilkinson added that she and Baskett were already working on names for their future little ones.

"My first initial is K and my middle name is Leigh, so we were thinking of Kaleigh," she said. "And he's Hank Baskett III, so of course I'm going to have a Hank Baskett IV," WIlkinson said.

But before the arrival of their new baby. The pair has to take care of one thing first, their wedding. Wilkinson, 23, and Baskett, 26 plan to marry at the Playboy Mansion on June 27

Paris Hilton, Doug Reinhardt Split

2009-06-12T14:04:00.002-04:00

The couple calls it quits after six months together.

Paris Hilton's romance with "The Hills" star Doug Reinhardt is over, People magazine has confirmed.

"In response to the inquiry on whether Paris Hilton has split up with Doug Reinhardt, yes, this is true they are no longer together. They remain friends and ask that you please respect their privacy," said a rep for Hilton.

Hilton, 28, and Reinhardt, 23, had been together for six months. Some had even expected a wedding announcement coming from the pair soon.

While walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, Reinhardt couldn't stop gushing about Hilton. "We love each other. Couldn’t ask for more. She’s everything I dreamed of and she’s an amazing girl and I’m having the most fun with her and she’s awesome," Reinhardt told "Extra."

Just days ago, the couple attended the MTV Movie Awards and begin hinting that a summer wedding was in the works. "You know, we’ll see. If things go the way they are. . . . Let’s just say I’ve never been happier. You never know," Hilton told E! News.

Chastity Bono Undergoing Sex Change

2009-06-12T13:58:00.003-04:00

Bono began the process in March, shortly after her 40th birthday.

Chastity Bono, the daughter of 1960s singing sensations Sonny Bono and Cher is undergoing gender reassignment surgery. Bono's spokesman, Howard Bragman, confirmed the news to TMZ, which was the first to report the story.

"Yes, it's true – Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity," Bragman said.

According to Bragman, Bono began undergoing the sex change process shortly after her 40th birthday on March 4.

"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago," Bragman said.

Bono first came out to her parents in 1987, during her freshmen year of college at New York University. However, she did not publicly reveal that she was a lesbian until 1995.

Eminem Was In On Bruno Gag

2009-06-12T13:53:00.002-04:00

After a week of speculation, Eminem confirms that he rehearsed the MTV gag with the “Bruno“ actor.

Sacha Baron Cohen has a knack for ruffling a few feathers, but after last Sunday's gag at the MTV Movie Awards, some wondered if he has gone a bit too far. Cohen, dressed as his new film character "Bruno," descended from the rafters at the ceremony, and landed backside first into rapper Eminem's face. Eminem, visibly upset, stormed out of the show and did not return.

Eminem has since confirmed that he was actually involved in the rehearsed gag.

"Sacha called me when we were in Europe and he had an idea to do something outrageous at the Movie Awards. I’m a big fan of his work so I agreed to get involved with the gag," the rapper told RapRadar.com.

After he left the show Eminem retired to his hotel room, terribly amused by skit he had put on.

"After the ceremony I went back to my hotel and laughed uncontrollably for about 3 hours. Especially after I saw it on air," Eminem said.

Adam Lambert: I'm Gay

2009-06-12T13:48:00.002-04:00

The “Idol“ runner-up confirms his sexuality in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

The long awaited issue of Rolling Stone magazine featuring "American Idol's" Adam Lambert is here! For weeks Lambert has promised that all speculations regarding his sexuality would be directly addressed within his issue of Rolling Stone. And boy has he delivered, big time.

"I don't think it should be a surprise for anyone to hear that I'm gay," Lambert tells the magazine. "I've been living in Los Angeles for eight years as a gay man."

Although some questioned why Lambert did not address his sexuality while on "American Idol," the singer claims that is just not his style.

"I embrace it," he says. "But it's just another part of me. I'm trying to be a singer, not a civil rights leader."

Lambert, adds that he didn't want to come out on "Idol" because it would be "so sensationalized that it would overshadow what I was there to do, which was sing."

The latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine, featuring Adam Lambert hits stands on Wednesday.

2009-04-15T20:09:00.003-04:00

For a few weeks now we've seen tweets from Nicole Richie to Ashlee Simpson-Wentz about Ash's mom, Tina Simpson. In the tweets Nicole raves about Tina, and jokingly pokes fun at "the other girl" Ashlee. By the looks of it, Ashlee's mom, Tina, now has her very own Twitter as well. Let the good times roooollllll!

Apparently the trio got together on Tuesday night and had a girls night in. Nic's tweet that evening said, "With the best mom in the world; & can someone get this weird redhead out of our picture?"

This morning, Wednesday she added, "Had the best night in PJs on the couch w @Tinasimpson. oh & some girl @ashsimpsonwentz. I love girls night xx"

By the looks of it, Ashlee's mom, Tina, now has her very own Twitter as well. Let the good times roooollllll!

Nic Rich - The Next Julia Child

2009-04-14T22:35:00.003-04:00

Nicole Richie showcased her baby bump (and fantastic maternity style) while attending a birthday party in West Hollywood. Boyfriend Joel Madden accompanied her, but the couple was without their daughter, Harlow.

Earlier in the day Nicole posted her new chicken recipe on Twitter for the world to see (www.twitter.com/nicolerichie). It sounds absolutely to DIE FOR! I'm hoping to try my hand at making it this weekend, minus the expensive additives. HA.

Later in the afternoon, Nic tweeted about her love for a certain member of the Simpson family. "One is always prettier, cooler, or more talented. Everyone has a favorite Simpson. & mine just joined Twitter. Yes, I'm talking about Tina."

Ha-ha! So apparently Nicole has some mad love for Mama Simpson. Cool-cool. Who knew?!

Before the day was over she tweeted, "85,000 followers woohoo!! I wish that many people liked me in real life. Only ones that follow me are Harlow and my dogs; I'm on my way!"

Nicole Richie MADDEN????!!!

2009-04-13T17:21:00.003-04:00

Monday

Nic Rich caused quite a stir in cyberspace today, posting on her twitter account (www.twitter.com/nicolerichie) that she has a sister-in-law! Nicole's tweet simply said, "My sister-in-law Sarah Evelyn Madden has just joined twitter. Her name is @sarahmadden. Follow her!!"

So is did Nice & Joel finally get married....secretly? Or is Nic simply stating that she considers Joel's younger sis, Sarah, her sister-in-law? You know, since Nic and Joel already have a daughter and one bun in the oven....the later sunds very plausible. I'm sure Nicole and Joel already consider themselves to be married, even though legally they aren't.

Nicole's Baby-Bump!

2009-04-12T20:04:00.000-04:00

Sunday

It's no secret that Nicole Richie has made a complete turn around in her life. Just a few years ago the girl was coming out of rehab, being tarred and feathered for being far too skinny, and seemingly the epitome of the "blonde" stereotype.

However, the past is in the past and Nic has literally become the poster child for stylish-young mothers everywhere!

Nicole and her boyfriend Joel Madden, of rock band Good Charlotte are currently expecting their second child in late August/early September. While the couple announced the pregnancy in February, Nicole has not begun to show until recently. On Sunday she was spotted at an office complex in Los Angles proudly displaying her burgeoning baby bump.

Richie and Madden also have a daughter, Harlow, who is 15 months old.

Country Music Awards - Best Dressed Ladies

2008-11-12T23:40:00.006-05:00

Reese Witherspoon presented at the 2008 CMA, and really....this girl can do no wrong! Ok, I'll try not to be too biased, even though she is my favorite actress (shout out to Walk The Line ...woohoo!). She is just the epitome of class, sophistication and elegance to me. And she gets it right fashion wise, in this beautiful lace Marchesa gown.

Taylor Swift, bless her heart - she's always so adorable! Fresh off her break-up from Joe Jonas, she looks stunning in this Kaufman Franco number. I have a feeling we'll be seeing her around for a long time to come! BTW, her new album, Fearless, just dropped today. I'm hearing nothing but good reports - even from those folks who don't dig country music.

Beautiful dress! Beautiful dress! I'm not a big Kellie Pickler fan at all, but I must say she (or her styist) sure has some great sense some style! Great pick with this Zuhair Murad gown.

Madonna, Britney, and Pink's Album Covers - Too Similar??

2008-11-12T21:23:00.002-05:00

Back in April of this year, Madonna - the Queen of Pop - released her latest album, Hard Candy. While the album cover is certainly interesting to say the least.....that's not the point. Well, maybe it's Madonna's point - but not the point I'm trying to make. Bottom line - the album artwork for Madge's record is quite original.

Fast forward to October, and we see punk/pop singer Pink releasing and album with quite similar artwork on her sixth studio album, Funhouse.

Next up we have Britney Spears new album, Circus, which is scheduled to drop on December 2nd. Album artwork for the record has already been leaked, and yet again it bears a striking resemblance to Madonna and Pink's album covers.

Tori Spelling and daughter Stella step out in Hollywood

2008-11-12T20:37:00.004-05:00

Tori Spelling was spoted with 5 month old daughter Stella at a Build-a-Bear function in Hollywood on tuesday.

Can't help but think of how much Stella looks like dad Dean McDermott! There's very little of Tori in little Stella as of yet! Still, there's not denying the resembelence between Tori and eldest child, Liam, 20 months.

Jennifer Aniston calls Angelina Jolie's Behavior "Uncool" and"Inapproiate"

2008-11-11T19:48:00.004-05:00

Now here's a great way to sell your magazine - get Jen Aniston to trash talk Angelia Jolie! Jen divorcing Brad Pitt in 2005, Jen has taken the high road, never choosing to publicly bad mouth Pitt or Jolie.

That was then, and this is now. And apparantly old wounds take time to heal. Jen tells the December issue of Vogue, "There was stuff printed there that was definitely from a time when I was unaware that it was happening. I felt those details were a little inappropriate to discuss." Aniston went on, "That stuff about how she couldn't wait to get to work every day? That was really uncool."

Of course, Aniston is refering to the time Pitt and Jolie spent in 2004 shooting their movie, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. At the time, Pitt and Aniston were still married. Fairly soon after their marriage was over, Pitt and Jolie were spoted vacationing together. They choose to confrim their relationship in a rather unusal way, revealing in January 2006 that Jolie was expecting a baby.

Nicole Kidman shows off picture of her "miricle baby", Sunday Rose

2008-11-11T19:01:00.007-05:00

Nicole Kidman's first biological child, Sunday Rose, with country singer, Keith Urban, made her way into the world way back in June of this year. However, Nic's been quite clear that she didn't want to sell the baby's photos to any magazine to make a profit for herself - or even for charity. Instead, she choose to share a picture of Sunday on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
