Well I guess that we are talking about cheating dads, and bad dads that are cheaters this week. Today it’s Tiger Woods. But word has just come in that he is changing his ways, and that he’s finally picked a winner in his very own “Not Exactly a Bachelor” reality series. And Rachel Uchitel seems to be the one, she is seen here proving to the world what a low profile she is, when running some errands in New York City when whoops! She bumped into a media frenzy. I hate it when that happens. But back to the bad dads that are cheaters story, it turns out that Tiger Woods is down to only one mistress. Hey, that’s, like, a 90% decrease in mistresses! He’s besting the climate change people! The one that didn’t get away is Rachel Uchitel, the New York City party promoter who was originally outed by the National Enquirer. Tiger was seen with her twice this weekend: at Palm Beach’s Everglades Club, a private golf course, on Saturday, and then again at a private party for 300 at some mansion on Sunday, Entertainment Tonight reports. They were even holding hands, so at least she knew he wasn’t texting any other women during their date. Phew! Because THAT could be awkward.

More Drama But Not From Mama This Time

Jon Gosselin drama

Yep. Here’s another one of those pap hungry dudes that thinks its good parenting to showcase your extramarital affairs to your 8 children. He’s touching down in Hawaii to attend a friends wedding. Who cares, right? Because this holiday season I was actually enjoying this well-deserved Gosselin lull. Kate was living it up large in Pennsylvania, after being awarded Castle Gosselin Skull in divorce arbitration. Jon was legally silenced from doing any work that would exploit his overgrown celebrity. The peace and joy of the holiday season was restored. But the ghost of Hailey Glassman, Jon’s trashy 22-year-old girlfriend, has come back to haunt us, and there’s definitely a butcher knife involved. But she can explain. Hailey Glassman has a perfectly good excuse for why a note signed with her name was allegedly discovered stabbed to a dresser in the looted apartment she shared with her ex-bf Jon Gosselin. And her excuse isn’t “insanity” (yet). From her lawyer: It’s a “publicity stunt”. Right. Cuz that’s supposed to make her look…..not crazy? It gets better. In fact, media were on the scene shortly after the cops arrived, prompting one source to speculate to the New York Post that TMZ was actually called first. First meaning, don’t call the cops until we know TMZ is on their way, k honey? What an amazing publicity stunt. I, for one, would really love to see Jon Gosselin write an inspirational memoir about this profound tragedy. It’s like when Petra Nemcova survived the tsunami. Hailey’s lawyer denies she had any connection to the vandalised apartment. Furniture appeared to be shredded with a butcher knife, and an antique Ming vase was shattered. Hailey admitted that she’d written the note, the Post reports, but denies she stabbed it to the dresser with a knife. A bunch of stuff was missing from the apartment, Jon’s lawyer claimed in a statement, including a TV, Wii and coffeemaker. But Hailey’s lawyer says that they’re not worried about security-camera footage that shows the 22-year-old hauling a TV out of the apartment, because everything she took belonged to her. This saga goes on. Jon apparently owed her thousands in rent, a source told the Post. On Christmas Day, the day before Jon found their place torn into confetti, she accused him of pocketing her rent money in a Twitter rant. Her tweets:

“FYI That apartment everyone calls ‘Jon’s Apartment’ was MY apartment as well,” she wrote on Christmas Day (via Radar Online). “We split rent! He’s been living off my family and I. So … get your facts right before you all assume. My family and I found out a week ago he’s been pocketing our rent money ‘n not paying the rent!”

Do these sound like the words of a woman who would shred furniture with a butcher knife? Ok, don’t answer that. While Hailey’s lawyer says that Hailey isn’t even a suspect in this case, Jon’s lawyer has more lofty predictions for how this is all going to turn out.

“Hailey Glassman is going to jail,” lawyer Mark Jay Heller told Radar. “It’s as simple as that.” Also, he added, “Jon feels like he was raped.”

Tasteful! I can’t help but wonder, how does he explain that to his 8 kids exactly? So if you weren’t already creeped out over Jon Gosselin, don’t worry, there’re still plenty of mental images to be conjured for 2010.

Oops He Did it Again!

Charlie Sheen Arrested

This is not exactly one of those celebrity pictures that we need to explain to you who it is, or where the picture was taken, is it now. Here is one guy that just can’t stay away from the drama no matter how hard he doesn’t try to stay away from the drama. And this holiday season was no different, as on Christmas Eve, the knives came out. Unfortunately, that’s not a figure of speech. *sigh* Denise Richards tried to warn us! It’s Complicated! COMPLICATED! Charlie Sheen, né Carlos Irwin Estevez (whatever), was arrested for second-degree assault, felony menacing and a misdemeanour charge of criminal mischief on Christmas morning, TMZ reports. Radar broke the story, because they are peepin’ on celebs you don’t even know you care about. Police nabbed television’s highest paid man (he makes $875,000 per episode for Two And A Half Men, or approximately $1.25 per sex joke) at a place in Aspen, Colorado, where he’d attended a Christmas Eve dinner party with his wife of 18 months, Brooke Mueller. The couple, who welcomed twin boys Bob and Max in March, said some things they shouldn’t have said, drank some things they shouldn’t have drank, and by Christmas morning, Brooke had called 911, alleging Charlie had threatened her with a knife, TMZ reports. Charlie was released on Saturday on $8000 bail, so please, don’t bother sleeping soundly tonight. The charges are being investigated, even though Brooke’s blowing the police off. She’s stopped co-operating in an oh so predictable manner, and Charlie’s rep is dropping ominous, cryptic statements. “Do not be misled by appearance,” the rep told Us. “Appearance and reality can be as different as night and day. It would benefit everyone (in her head: “most notably my client”) to not to jump to any conclusion.” I see Charlie Sheen’s rep is a fortune cookie. Breathalyzer reports found Charlie and Brooke both had alcohol in their systems when police got to them on Christmas morning. Charlie’s blood alcohol-level was .04, which is low enough to drive in most places; Brooke’s was .13, which is high enough to be officially drunk. And in case you have forgotten some of the other drama he’s had in his life, he’s had enough for many celebrities combined. Charlie’s had a history with alcoholism, and spent time in rehab in the ’90s to manage his addiction. He’s also had a history of being a really, really bad person. He pled no contest in 1996 to assaulting his ex-girlfriend, testified to spending $50,000 on Heidi Fleiss-brand hookers in 1995, overdosed on cocaine in 1998, and, among several unfortunate incidents involving his ex-wife Denise Richards, was memorably heard on a leaked answering machine message calling her a “n—-r.” And those are just a few of his fondest memories. The original Radar report claimed Charlie and Brooke’s 18-month marriage has been rocky for awhile, with Brooke living in Aspen for three months while Charlie’s been in L.A. But a source told People that their marriage is absolutely fine, occasional knifepoint allegations aside. But just while they’re international news, Brooke is going to stay in Aspen, while Charlie is going home to Los Angeles to be with his money. He’s so useless we don’t even have a category for him. So now I have an official reason to say exactly why my stomach turns every time this man’s name even comes up. How about we talk about someone that doesn’t make us vomit next time?

It’s Official, Reese Has Moved to Splitsville

Friday, December 25th, 2009

Reese Witherspoon Single

Here is another starlet that always seems to pull off the fabulosity when it comes to style, and Reese Witherspoon is looking about as chic as it gets in an all black ensemble, knee high boots, diva shades, and an overall air of confidence as she stops to grab some snacks at a convenience store in Pacific Palisades, California. She’s not exactly the all black type, but perhaps she has chosen this styling to shake off the latest news in her life that she and Jake Gyllenhaal are officially single again. Yes, it has been a bad week for breakups, with this news just on the heels of the Kate Hudson/A Rod situation, but this is a breakup that is actually surprising to us, as this relationship has been considered quite serious for a very long time. We’ve been wondering a lot about what has been going on, since they are very good at staying under the radar, but there seems to be a general rule in Hollywood that once rumors start about a breakup, the relationship is as good as over, and these rumors have been ongoing for quite some time now. Reese herself has even worked very hard to quash the rumors, going on about what a great cook Jake is, how fabby he is with the kids, and what a funny man he is gush gush gush. But now it seems that the official word has sprung that neither his funniness nor cuisinart skills meant a damn thing when it came right down to it. The latest speculation comes from US Weekly, with the reason behind the split being that Jake wanted to get married, and Reese wasn’t wanting to rush things. There’s another speculation floating she wasn’t too sure how he would do with her kids on a permanent basis. And lastly, if you want to believe every rumor spinning on the mill, Reese drove the car to splitsville and Jake is devastated. Another rumor is that Jake said goodbye to her for being a “tight ass” and that she was just not that much fun to be with as she used to be. Or not. Bottom line is they are holidaying separately, and to say he had problems with her kids can’t possibly be true considering they’ve been together for well over a year. If you ask me, her first husband was a complete doinkus, and she’s afraid to go through that heartbreak again. Who can blame her. Regardless, it’s a sad breakup, I was really rooting for these two. SO cute together.

Carrie Underwood Officially Off the Market for Good

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

Carrie Underwood Engaged

It’s too bad this girl is just so very sweet, as she always just looks so very gorgeous that you just want to hate her. Here she is proving her star status at the 2009 American Music Awards held at the Nokie Theater in a stunning glitzy roman inspired mini dress, and the country girl blowout to boot. Add the thousand watt smile to her stunning face, and you just want to hate someone that looks this good and THAT happy at the same time. And it isn’t just the fact that the AMA’s prove her talent, but that she has proven her love to a certain Canadian hockey player, so much so that he’s slipped the ring on her finger this holiday season. Yes it is true folks, Carrie Underwood and Ottawa Senator hockey player Mike Fisher are engaged, and you know when it is confirmed by her rep, they may as well be married already.

“I’m happy to confirm that Carrie Underwood is engaged to Mike Fisher, and the couple couldn’t be happier. No wedding date has been set at this time.”

According to the Ottawa Sun, he also confirmed the news at a press conference Monday. He said Mike popped the question Sunday, but declined to offer any other details. His teammate Chris Neil said Fisher, 29, called him shortly after he proposed.

“I think it’s great. It’s a long time coming. There’s going to be a lot of broken hearts in Ottawa with all those girls who are in love with Mikey.”

Never mind the broken hearts in Nashville and all across America who thought they actually stood a chance with this bombshell. But they’ve had plenty of time to prepare themselves for this news, as unlike most celebrity engagements, this one has been brewing for some time. Underwood, 26, and Fisher have mostly been hush-hush about their relationship since they began dating last year. But lately, they’ve been opening up. Underwood gushed about the hockey player, 29, on the liner notes of her new CD, Play On.

“Thank you #12,” she wrote, referring to his jersey number. “You are the most amazing addition to my life! You are such a wonderful person and have had such an amazing hand in the building of this album and in the growth of me as a person. I love you so much! You make my life better in every way! I thank God for you every day… xoxo, Carrie.”

And of course, her hockey star superstar fiancé can’t gush enough about her. He also praised her singing during a recent chat on The Sens Show, a Web news program for his team. “She can sing anything – I like it when she sings a good rock song,” he said. He added that she was “very committed” and worked “extremely hard. She doesn’t get too many days off – a lot less days off than I get. She’s always going.” Despite their tough schedules, “we always find a way to make it work,” he said. Now that they’re engaged, are babies next? In the January issue of Self, she opened up about wanting to start a family. By Hollywood standards as soon as a celeb starts talking about wanting children “one day” a baby announcement is never short behind, but it’s hard to say with this girl as she also inspires women to be modest “good girls” despite how she smokes the stage every single time. How she put it to Self magazine is,

“Not that I have a husband to have one with yet, but someday I’d like a family – not a big one, but not a small one either. Two kids is good; three is fine. Four? Somebody’s getting something done, because we ain’t having five!”

So she’s got the husband thing locked in, almost, if she wants to pop out four little hockey cubbies, they are going to have to get started, and soon.

Rest in Peace Brittany Murphy

Brittany Murphy Died

Yes, this has been a sad sad year for celebrity deaths, and the tribute to all of these talents at this years Academy Awards will certainly be making most eyes in the house moist with tears. With talent such as Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Patrick Swayze this year, the young talent of Brittany Murphy will sadly be added to this year’s memorials. Brittany Murphy has passed away and shocked the world and the usual string of rumors has only just begun. Here she was spotted earlier this year attending the Max Azria Fall 2008 collection at the Mercedes Benz Fashion week looking her usual bubbly and gorgeous self with not a care in the world. So it is quite sad to hear of her illnesses that took her life at the young age of 32. Brittany Murphy died today after being reportedly “very ill” in the days leading up to her death. This gorgeous 8 Mile actress passed away at the age of 32 on Monday but authorities have already ruled out foul play ,despite persistent rumours she was addicted to prescription drugs. Coroner’s Captain John Kades said:

“Foul play is not suspected at this time because there were no outward signs of trauma or other injuries. We don’t have an autopsy scheduled yet, but we will do it as soon as possible. Given all the worldwide attention, if we can get it done today, we will.”

However, sources say several prescriptions were found in the house, written for various members of the household including Brittany – who reportedly suffered from diabetes – husband Simon Monjack and the actress’ mother. Insiders say the actress had been suffering from flu-like symptoms for days – which she was taking medication for – and had begun vomiting shortly before her death, telling her family she felt “very unwell”. According to reports, when her mother found her body in the bathroom of her Hollywood home, there was “a significant amount of vomit” in the room. One of the ‘Clueless’ star’s neighbours said paramedics were in the house for almost an hour before taking her body to an ambulance on a stretcher. The ever present “onlooker said

“One paramedic was still working on her. First, I couldn’t even tell that it was Brittany that was on the stretcher. It looked like an older woman. Brittany was completely white and her face was covered with a mask. You could tell that something horrible had happened.”

Police later attended the house for what they have described as a “routine” death investigation. In addition to the autopsy, toxicology tests to look for traces of drugs and alcohol in Brittany’s system will also be carried out, but the results will not be known for six weeks. The actress’ family have released a statement about the “terrible tragedy”.

“The sudden loss of our beloved Brittany is a terrible tragedy. She was our daughter, our wife, our love and a shining star. We ask you to respect our privacy at this time.”

Oh yes, this is one that makes me very, very sad. Any death this close to Christmas is so tragic, but for someone so young with so much sweetness and talent to leave us so abruptly, is just so sad. Rest in peace, Brittany, we will certainly miss you!

Kourtney Kardashian Is a Mommy!

Kourtney Kardashian Pregnant Pictures

Two Friday’s in a row and we get to say bye bye to baby bumps! Kourtney Kardashian is seen here in all her preggo glory with baby daddy Scott Disick to go shopping in Beverly Hills recently, and it was only days after this baby bumping shopping that Kourtney’s wee one gave her the green light. I guess we’ll need a new name for this Kardashian sister instead of “the pregnant one,” because Kourtney and her boyfriend Scott Disick have welcomed a son. But even we can’t begrudge a baby at Christmas, and their little one was seven pounds, six ounces, and is named Mason Dash Disick. Dash is also the name of the Kardashians’ boutique in Los Angeles and Miami (so hopefully he doesn’t mind being associated with slutty clubwear). Until recently, Kourtney expected to breast-feed for the next five years, so instead of the customary “congratulations,” allow me to wish this baby a plucky “I just know you’ll somehow survive!” What else can we say? Congratulations, Kourtney and Scott, and Merry Christmas as well. And Happy B irthday and welcome to the world little Mason!
