The Speidi’s Tie the Knot

I almost want to say that well, hell has frozen over, but I guess we’ve seen this coming. Oh yes, we all cringed when they got engaged, and have been in a state of frozen cringe ever since, but the inevitable has happened. Yes, Spencer Pratt finally coerced Heidi into attaching herself to him in the most permanent and legally binding way by marrying Heidi in a private elopement this past weekend. And when we say private, we mean private, as not even Heidi’s family was made aware.

For those of you that follow The Hills, you may have seen Heidi’s sister Holly on the After Show last night, where she tearfully stated that she was a little hurt by the whole thing but will always be there for Heidi no matter what. Oh yes, Holly flew into the studio to film the After Show not having a clue about Heidi’s nuptials, and when she got off the plane her phone was bombarded with the news that Heidi and Spencer were on the cover of US proudly showing off their newlywedded bliss. Yeah, that’s gotta sting. But nobody knew anything, which seemingly may all boil down to more of Spencer’s control and hideousness.

Sexiest Man Alive a Flasher? Wouldn’t THAT be Nice!

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008


Ah yes, it has only been a week since Hugh Jackman was given the elite title of Sexiest Man Alive. A title that will follow him for the rest of the year, and for some people, is much more coveted than the intro title of ‘Academy Award Winner….’ Yep, just ask George Clooney, he is STILL riding on that coat-tail, as is his c-hort Brad Pitt. But you know how it is, whenever something good happens to someone in Hollywood, the folks go looking for the dirt. And well, Hugh Jackman seems to be pretty squeaky clean *sigh* though his nanny may have a few words about that.

Yes, what is supposed to be leaked as a dirty sleazy story is actually making women all over America go *dang! Why couldn’t that have been ME!* But yes, Hugh Jackman has a sordid past. He used to go to bed naked. That is, he used to, until he accidentally flashed his nanny one night. And that’s pretty much all there is to the story, but it still makes one swoon, doesn’t it? Hugh is the loving and doting father of two children he has adopted with his wife Deborra Lee Furness (who wins the title Luckiest Woman Alive) and they well, didn’t like PJ’s I suppose.

Madonna is Sad. :-(

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008


Who would have seen this coming? Madonna, in one of the most highly publicized divorces since Sir Paul McCartney has decided to go public *big collective sigh* AGAIN about her divorce. This time though she’s not moaning or whining (much) about what a bad person Guy Ritchie is. She just needs to let everyone know loud and clear that she’s not the cold hearted you know what that many think she is. No, she’s SAD.

“I’m sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life.”

But she says, the fact that she is able to continue on with her Sticky and Sweet touris good because it provides her with a distraction that keeps her going. Right. Does nobody remember the fact that she and Guy had been separated for MONTHS before they went official?

Amy Winehouse Single?

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Dome, Lucas, PacificCoastNews.com

A less than perfect Amy Winehouse is seen here leaving her home wearing a pink jacket with the name ‘Amy Woo’ embroidered on it, where once it read ‘Amy Civil’. Naturally Amy’s former embroidery was referring to her hubby Blake Fielder Civil, so her new patch sparked some speculation that she has a romantic connection with her friend Blake Wood. Blake Wood has been seen going in and out of Amy’s London flat, and though her hubby has been in rehab since his prison release on November 5th, Amy hasn’t quite made the hubby appeals that she normally does. In fact, it seems that even hubby Blake is not all that interested any more with reports surfacing that he has been hanging around a German model by the name of Sophie Schandorff. In fact, the romance between Blake and Sophie is so torrid, that Amy spewed to the press ‘It’s over!’. To a London newspaper she made the following statement:

There’s no way back for us now. It was never going to last. We were only together for sex. I fancied him like mad, like no one else I’ve ever known. But it’s not enough, is it?

Uh no. It’s not enough. You also need some compassion, TRUST, mutual respect, and quite possibly this couple would not make it without couples detox that was involved by physical restraints. But that’s just me. No, these two need a lot of work, and Amy has not made much attempts to be involved with his rehab process. She has barely visited her hubby, though that may have something to do with his treatment, and failed to make a scheduled November 17th visit because he had first texted her asking her to bring some crack. Hm. Looks like Amy may have made the best choice there by not going. I am no Dr. Drew, but I think bringing crack to rehab is against the rules. But hope may not be lost, though she claims its over, it IS Amy, and how much cred does this girl have, right? She was seen banging on the door to her old home recently screaming ‘Blaaaaaake’. It IS a subtle sign, but I think it may mean, in Amy’s own little quiet way, that she does care a little.

Michelle Williams is Missing Heath Ledger

Michelle Williams is seen in what has become her signature status these days as she strolls around New York with her daughter Matilda. Matilda was enjoying the love and innocence that a child does as she played in leaves and danced around the streets of New York, while loving and doting mom looked on with smiles. But it seems these days that there is still quite a bit of pain behind Michelle’s smile, as even though it has been ten months since the tragic death of Matilda’s daddy, Heath Ledger, Michelle is still struggling with grief. During a recent interview with Newsweek, Michelle spoke candidly about how tough it was to be a single mom to a three year old and how sad she still was. In fact, so sad, that even mentioning Heath’s name sent Michelle to tears. And as far as how she is holding up, this is how she described herself, and her grieving process.

I guess it’s always changing. What else can I say? I just wake up each day in a slightly different place – grief is like a moving river. I’m at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it (grief) just gets worse. It’s just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone. In some ways it gets worse. That’s what I would say.

And unfortunately, because people aren’t always very kind when it comes to celebrities personal lives, Michelle has gotten a little flack for her grieving process with Heath. Considering the odd twist with Mary Kate Olsen and her connection with Heath, and the fact that Heath and Michelle had split before his death, not many people understand why she is still so deep in grief. Let’s not forget folks the relationship two people have when they create a child together. Though nobody knows where the state of her relationship was when Heath Ledger died, nobody really needs to. Michelle has been forced to raise her daughter on her own, and she is doing the best she can with what she has been given. Her plans for the future include focusing on just that, her daughter. While she is currently working on an indie film, soon she will be taking a year off to spend with her daughter. When Matilda is ready for school, Michelle says she wants a routine life, with the plainest, simplest, most ordinary habituated lifestyle possible. And given the challenges that Matilda has ahead, having to grow up without a daddy, I am sure that Michelle is making a sound choice.

Travis Barker Files Suit For Plane Crash

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Well, you had to see this one coming. We have all heard about the tragic plane crash that killed 4 people in South Carolina and seriously injured Travis Barker and DJ AM. Travis and DJ, formally known as Adam Goldstein, both suffered serious burn injuries and underwent burn treatment and a series of surgeries following the plane crash, and are still being treated for their injuries. And now Travis Barker has filed a suit over this plane crash that killed two of his friends, and injured he and DJ AM. Barker’s suit names the owners of the plane, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, as well as a maintenance company for damages, and he is looking for more than $25,000 in damages. His suit states that the companies fialed to maintain the plane properly, and that the plane was improperly operated. And Barker’s suit is not the only one filed. His assistant Chris Baker and his bodyguard Charles Monroe Still Jr. were among the fatalities, and Still’s mother, Thelma Martin Still is also suing the companies. Once news of the suits leaked, the companies involved in the suit and those named would not answer their phones to comment on the case. I have to say, this is not at all surprising that this has come to light, the only thing that does surprise me is the amount. I would have expected damages to be much higher, but perhaps Travis is merely trying to make a point with the case and not appear as a money gouger.

Paris and Benji Are DONE

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Josephine Santos, PacificCoastNews.com

Paris Hilton is seen here leaving Mr. Chow restaurant the other night, and this was the first of many nights where Paris had to remember what it was like to do things solo. Ah yes, it sounds like the inevitable has happened. Come on, nobody here REALLY believed those two were getting married do you? After Paris ate dinner at Mr. Chow all on her lonesome, she headed over to her sister Nicky’s house. Guess some commiserating with family was on her agenda. Maybe some Ben and Jerry’s? And while we don’t really know exactly what went on between Benji and Paris, we do know for sure that they are definitely done. Stick a fork in ‘em folks, it’s splitsville. And from the sounds of it, Benji is the one that did the goodbyes. A friend of Paris’s told People magazine:

“She is saddened by the breakup but they’re just too different and they wanted different things in life. He was loyal and sweet but it was time to take a break.”

Is it possible that being spotted with her ex boyfriend, Stavros Niarchos on the evening of the 15th could have pushed the split? Yes, Paris was spotted with her former squeeze at a hot nightclub in Miami, and onlookers were saying the two were a little too close for comfort. And oddly enough, the Paris/Benji split came just DAYS after this event. Hm. Perhaps Paris has forgotten that cameras follow her every move. But both parties deny any claims that there was some unfaithfulness in this romance. But hm well, perhaps that statement was made before Paris screwed it up, if she did. Do you think we will see any boyfriend recycling here? Hard to say….tough call, that one.
