Hollywood’s power couple extraordinaire are seen here at the Los Angele premiere of ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, Brad Pitt’s latest work that will be in theatres on Christmas Day. And don’t they just look so happy and in love? Ah yes, this is the zsa zsa zsu that makes heart swoon, no? Or maybe they just look like a couple of tired parents of six wee ones? Yes. And one would think that harbouring a family of six children would be enough to commit oneself to another for a lifetime, but yet the same old ‘M’ word keeps cropping up with this unmarried couple. There have been rumors of secret weddings and engagements and on and on, and Angelina has made no secret of the fact that she’d like Brad to make an honest woman of her. And apparently, she brought this to his attention rather impatiently recently. She has reportedly proposed to him and is desperate to tie a knot with him, but Brad simply said thanks, but no thanks. Instead, he thinks they should attend couples counselling first. Well, first he wants her to work on herself, and her own issues, and has even sent her to anger management classes. So when Angelina suggested a Christmas wedding, he said to hold off and instead of just going with it, Angelina gave him a guilt trip saying the kids want them to be married. But according to those close to Brad:

Brad thinks a wedding right now is biting off more than they can chew. He would like to slow down and go through some couples counseling. But Angelina is insisting they get married before they adopt again or have another biological baby.

What? Six kids later and he wants to SLOW DOWN? Hmmm….It doesn’t get much faster than that, pal. Mind you, I think with this couple a marriage license is pretty much a moot point. No matter what happens between them, if the worst were to happen, they still have children and assets on the table, and that’s a heckuva lot more than some of Tinseltown’s most married couples can lay claim to. To add to it, they are reportedly trying for another set of twins! Yes, Angelina was told if she got pregnant again within the next two years she would probably conceive another set of twins, so back to the fertility treatments they go. So what, will we be looking for another announcement for babies 7 and 8? Honestly, is the lack of a piece of paper proving wedded bliss really this couple’s biggest issue?

Balthazar Getty is quite prominent in his own right, being the heir to the Getty Oil fortune, and yes, he’s been here there and everywhere with the odd acting gig that has kept him at a nice steady B-list status for a few years now. But it was not until he started canoodling with fashion designer Sienna Miller while still being a husband and father to 4 children that he became quite the headline and household name. Yes, Balthazar may play a big fat cheater on T.V., he is also one in real life. And though his girlfriend Sienna Miller has taken the brunt of the whole ‘homewrecker’ situation, he’s taken a bit of heat himself, and rightfully so. Just ask the folks that work with him and have to deal with him every day on the set of his current job ‘Brothers and Sisters’. It sounds like Balthazar was quite the well liked man until his ethics were brought into question in a very public manner. In fact, reports are that he has no friends at all on the set of ‘Brothers and Sisters’ and he is not being labelled as just a big fat cheater, but also a very difficult guy to be around. In fact, he is so difficult to be around that everyone on the set can’t stand him. He apparently behaves unprofessionally during shoots by forgetting his lines, and it has been said that he has even brought one cast member to tears at some point, though who, we are not really sure. He’s pulling some diva behaviour as well, by forcing everyone to move meetings and shooting schedules around simply to accommodate him, and when people don’t work the way he wants, he yells and becomes impatient. At one point he became so impatient he shouted ‘When are we going to shoot this?’. And oddly enough, his behaviour didn’t seem to even start until his relationship with his wife of 8 years, Rosetta, began to crumble, and his relationship with Sienna Miller, began to flourish. And of course this was right around the time that his cast mates and co-stars began to can’t stand him. It could be possible that Balthazar really is a diva in the making, or it could be possible that the stress and strain of all of his shenanigans and his marriage crumbling just forcing him to finally crack. Who knows. But even if those are the reasons for his behaviour, it is still no excuse, and as such, he had better start toeing the line according to his co-stars. And what is going on with Sienna and he? Who knows….but I have my thoughts, and they aren’t very nice ones.

A-list couple Jennnifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are seen here looking like an ordinary couple on a Tuesday night going out for dinner, as they are given a rare night off from their twins to have a date. J-Lo and hubby Marc Anthony headed out to Luau in Beverly Hills, and this is something Jennifer must have enjoyed, given that she has been publicly noisy about the fact that she doesn’t get many breaks nowadays since the birth of her twins. But her rest and respite will be short, as she will be returning to the big screen next year to shoot the comedy flick ‘Plan B’, a movie about a woman who undergoes artificial insemination in order to counter her excessively noisy biological clock. And maternity and motherhood is definitely something relatable to Jennifer, so she will more than likely do a bang up job. And it may be her decision to go back to work that has put her marriage on death watch, or as friends say, ‘to a breaking point’. Given that J-Lo and Marc have only been married for four years, and are parents to twins, this is somewhat startling news. But the fact that both of them have been spotted out and about without their wedding rings on separate occasions is something that is saying a lot about the marriage, and about each of them individually. To top it off, Marc Anthony has been fuelling rumors that he’s a big fat cheater due to the fact that he’s been seen flirting with women on both sides of the coast in both New York and Las Vegas and has been publicly heard saying that Jennifer is ‘making me miserable’. As far as their friends are concerned, they say that the wedding rings ‘situation’ is not unintentional. They say ‘nothing Jennifer EVER does is without intention’ and that both of them are simply getting bored. Add this to the fact that Marc is being touted as a control freak, and is very controlling of Jennifer. A source recently told us Weekly:

He’s very, very controlling of her. The skirts aren’t as short. You don’t see so much of that booty anymore.

And it is the same source that says things have become strained to the point that Jennifer is hardly even talking to Marc anymore. She even has a smidge of resentment with him, considering that she works all day, and then does babies all night, and that Marc is even responsible for stalling her career a little bit because of the babies. Even though the couple renewed their wedding vows last month, many say that this as well was all for show, to quash rumors that their marriage is on the brink of death. And the dinner at Luaua, where they enjoyed meatballs, ribs, tiramisu and chocolate cake and walked away holding hands? Also a big show for the peeps that say they are OVAH. And just to get one more opinion in the mix, Marc’s publicist denies denies denies. So you have to know he’s a good publicist, because I think they are hired on the basis of them being able to say no. He says they are doing great as a couple and happier than ever. So what’s going on here? Well you know….we’ll find out one way or another soon enough.

Nicole Richie must be sweating in her uggs right now, as though she may have felt that she dodged a bullet when it came to Paris Hilton becoming her new sister in law, along comes another equally chilling notion. Britney Spears. Who for Nicole would be the lesser of two evils? Hard to say. But she may not have a choice, as last week Britney Spears was spotted out and about on a few secret dates with Paris’s ex and Nicole’s brother in law Benji Madden. And though it has not gone past Nicole’s watchful eye, it certainly hasn’t been missed by Paris either, who reportedly ‘saw red’ over the situation. In fact, Paris was so mad, she pulled out her entire arsenal of Mean Girl platitudes saying ‘that girl’s nothing but a dirty Southern trashbag who can only get my sloppy seconds’. That makes her look so classy, doesn’t it? And Britney’s side of the coin sounds like ‘pathetic loser’ when it comes to Paris, and acknowledges that Paris is just jealous because Brit is more famous than she is. Which is a pretty good point, I mean, out of the two, only one of them has a best selling album right now, right? So what is the real story here? Are Britney and Paris pulling out the claws, or is this whole Britney and Benji thing just a way to get some publicity? Or is it just someone starting a rumor to get Paris all riled up? Anything is possible, but I am leaning towards the all fact no fiction side of the coin. Has anyone seen Britney’s promotional calendar lately? Yep, as far as this rumor is concerned, go ahead and file it under when pigs fly.

Lauren aka ‘Lo’ Bosworth is seen here joining a host of celebrities while they party hearty at the popular L.A. hotspot the Crown Bar. And what we know of Lauren is that she is one of the more opinionated girls of The Hills and she is never afraid to speak her mind, or purse her lips accordingly when she finds someone doing something she disapproves of. Ah yes, we all know that ‘hm.’ she gives when someone says something she finds a little out of sorts, and you can’t help but wonder what is going through her head when she gives the disapproving tsk tsk. My, what a great mom Lo will make one day! And with this quality in her that we have all come to know and love, she has vocalized some thoughts on the Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag marriage. She says she was surprised to learn that her costars on The Hills got married in Mexico in a private ceremony, and did so after an evening of champagne and tequila. On The Hills: Live After the Show Monday night, Lauren said:

“I always thought they were going to get married. I just didn’t know when. I thought she always wanted a big, beautiful event wedding in L.A. I was surprised it turned out the way it did actually.”

On the show, Lauren told the world that she heard of the Montag marriage at the same time, and in the same way that we all did, on the Internet. She was very surprised by the alcohol fuelled chain of events when she saw the show air where Spencer had suggested that he and Heidi get married after they had been in the Patron all night. After they had discussed the idea, the two even ordered more Patron, as Heidi so eloquently put it, ‘you know what Patron does to me, it gets me crazy.’ Lauren thought it was hysterical that Heidi needed some tequila to make the final call, the Patron push she called it. She wasn’t too sure if she was drunk when they actually got married, but knows they were the night before when the decision was made. But at the end of the day, Lo does believe that regardless of the how’s or the why’s, that Heidi and Spencer will be married forever. Tough to say when you are dealing with a control freak and a girl that doesn’t seem to make her own decisions, but again, for this very reason this could be a match made in heaven.

Well the ugliness that was Mr. and Mrs. Madonna has come to an end, and with a very high, or a very small, price tag. This is one of those situations where perspective is relative. For me? 75 mil is quite a big pocket of dabloons. For someone whose net worth is almost ten times that much, it’s lunch money. But yes, the divorce settlement between Madonna and Guy Ritchie has come to fruition, and Guy will be laughing his way to the bank over it. Madonna has been ordered to pay Guy an alimony and divorce settlement in the range of the 50 million pound mark, which translates roughly to about $75 million US. In this settlement Guy will get to keep the couple’s country home, the Ashcombe House, as well as the pub they (now onece) shared called the Punchbowl. So Guy Ritchie has been reduced to nothing more than a bar owner with a fancy home and a sweet bag of Christmas cash, and Madonna, well, she’ll make up that settlement and then some in her Sticky and Sweet tour. In fact, she already has, as this tour is another of Madonna’s record setting news makers, and has already grossed over $230 million dollars. Part of the cash settlement does include the value of the homes, so he won’t walk away with $75 million straight cash, but, does it matter? The issue that makes this sum so grotesque however is that this is the highest divorce settlement in the entertainment industry of all time. Oh yes, even higher than the one that Sir Paul McCartney had to pay out to his psycho ex-wife Heather Mills. In fact, it may even be the highest divorce settlement EVER, with the previously largest payout going to insurance tycoon’s John Charman’s ex wife who got just a little less, with $48 million pounds, which isn’t a whole lot less than $75 million USD, give or take a few million. The funny thing is that the Madonna divorce cost more than the McCartney divorce, and yet, they had the same divorce lawyer. What does this say about the entertainment industry? Does this mean that Madonna is a bigger star than Paul McCartney…..ouch, as we hear a collective protest rising up from any Beatles fan former or otherwise. Sir Paul McCartney is definitely an icon, and a name that will make money for many generations to come, but no, I don’t think this is what the settlement infers. I think the Heather/Paul thing was actually much uglier, and Paul just wasn’t budging for her, and with Madonna, I think she just wanted the whole thing to be over with plain and simple. Two tickets to a Sticky and Sweet concert, $100 bucks. One divorce settlement, $75 million. The cost of freedom? Priceless.

We have been hearing a lot about this situation with Paula Abdul and her obsessed fan. Sadly, this was a fan story that that went way overboard in the tragic sense, with Paula’s obsessed fan coming to her demise with suicide. But this story although it seems new to us, is nothing new to Paula Abdul, as this particular fan had been obsessed with her for many, many years. In fact, it was not American Idol that brought this fan to Paula Abdul per se, but rather, this fan, Paula Goodspeed has been crazed over Abdul for years. Then it came to light that Paula Goodspeed wanted to audition for the show, American Idol, and in a recent interview with Barbara Walters, Paula Abdul expressed some concerns publicly for the first time since this incident happened. When Paula found out that her fan was wanting to audition for the show, she begged the producers not to let her into the room. But the producers ixnayed that request, and Paula feels that they allowed Goodspeed to audition for the sake of entertainment value. Paula specifically told the producers:

This girl is a stalker of mine. Please do not let her in.’ Everyone knew. I was shaking. She had been writing disturbing letters for 17 years, almost 18 years. We had restraining orders at times.

But, we all know how it turned out. And it may be this very audition that put Goodspeed over the edge. Or, at least it fuelled her obsessive flame when it comes to Paula Abdul. Shortly after this round of auditions, Goodspeed oddly appeared at other auditions in other cities where Idol auditions was being held. She also got Paula Abdul’s address as a result of this audition, because she followed her home from one of them. And Paula Abdul blames the producers of the show entirely for this. And it wasn’t just letters and home following that Goodspeed was guilty of. She had a history of sending naked pictures of herself to Paula Abdule, and even threatened Paula with bodily harm. She also told Paula (Abdul) that she will serve her final purpose when she is up in heaven being Abdul’s guardian angel. And it sounds like this is precisely what happened. When Barbara Walters asked Paula why she was still a part of Idol after all of this, Paula merely said ‘well, I’m under contract’. How long her contract is we do not know, but we do know that Paula will be with us for another season of Idol, and after that….who knows.
