First Look: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Lock Lips in Public!

Czarina — Tue, 15 May 2012 10:03:30 +0000

Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have publicly confirmed their relationship when they were seen locking lips for the first time. The rapper artist visited Kim Kardashian who was on set for a photoshoot for Vogue Italia.

The 31-year-old reality star looked a lot like her mother Kris Jenner as she was seen wearing a cropped wig. To complete the look, she paired it with a low-cut S&M bustier for the shoot. Kanye seem to have enjoyed the costume change of his ladylove as he was snapped planting a kiss on Kim.

The two who seem to be comfortable displaying their romance in public were spotted loved up at the Lakers game this week. According to a report from US Weekly, their budding romance has inspired a rap from West. The 36-year old was believed to be working on a new track which seems to suggest potential wedding bells.

“Now she back in the club in a tight dress with dreams of someday wearing a white dress. Even though I met you in the club in a tight dress/At first sight I could picture you in a white dress,” goes the lyrics of Kanye’s new track.

The Truth Behind Luxury Brands

Jemma — Mon, 14 May 2012 21:56:46 +0000

The hottest celebrities have always had relationships with luxury fashion brands- and as with all celeb relationships, sometimes it's hard to keep track of who's sleeping with whom. This infographic design from Infographic Labs (creators of the popular Hollywood Marriages infographic) might simplify things somewhat, by illustrating that most of today's top luxury brands are owned by one of just three big companies.

Rihanna Posts Topless Pictures on Facebook, Again!

Czarina — Mon, 14 May 2012 09:13:47 +0000

It seems like Rihanna is living up to her “Good Girl Gone Bad” status as she posted series of topless pictures on her Facebook account. The photos were taken behind-the-scenes of her new music video “Where Have You Been?”

It’s known to the public how Rihanna is not particularly shy to flaunt her body in public. But this time, the Barbadian singer is leaving only little to the imagination. The singer was snapped as a makeup artist painted parts of her body to look like crocodile scales.

The 24-year-old singer, who also used Twitter to share some of her raunchy pictures didn't seem coy about being exposed. This isn’t the first time the singer shared topless pictures on Facebook. Last month, she posted another album of her Hawaiian vacation and there was one photo of her in a swimming pool, topless with an arm covering her chest.

Rihanna seem to have bounced back after she was hospitalized due to exhaustion and dehydration right after she attended the Met Gala inNew York City. Sources say that the singer has been partying hard and that friends close to Riri advised her to take up therapy. But from the looks of these photos, Rihanna is not about to slow down.

Hollywood Hunks Who Are Actually Mommy’s Boys

Gina — Thu, 10 May 2012 09:00:37 +0000

Ryan Gosling

Mother's Day is fast approaching. Have you planned a treat for your mom yet? It is never too late to do something for the woman who carried you inside her body for nine months. And if you are worried that your friends may think you're too attached to your mom for being excited about Mother's Day, don't! Even the hunkiest guys in Hollywood are not ashamed of their mothers. Why should you?

As a tribute to all the mothers in the world, People featured some Hollywood hunks who are actually mommy's boys. We can't call them closet mommy's boys as they are actually proud of their moms.

Up first is Ryan Gosling, who says that his mom keeps the faith alive. Can it get any better than that?

Then we have George Clooney, who definitely is one of the most sought after men in the world. This guy may not exactly be a spring chicken, but he keeps ties with his mom tight. After being arrested once, she was the first one he called.

George Clooney

Next up, we have Liam Hemsworth of The Hunger Games fame. Now don't get all confused with the other Hemsworth (Thor). While this Hemsworth may not be up to par (compared to the other), he still is a piece of eye candy, and yes, he takes his mom out as his date.

Liam Hemsworth

Well, who do we have here? Justin Bieber in this list is not my idea of a joke, although it is pretty close. I would never count him as a hunk, but I suppose some people do. And I honestly am not surprised that he is still attached to mommy. Are you?

RIP Amarillo Slim

Gina — Tue, 08 May 2012 09:10:18 +0000

Amarillo Slim

It seems that this period is another one of those, when we hear of deaths of significant people left and right. Right before the month of May began, Amarillo Slim passed away after battling colon cancer. I am ashamed to say that I even missed the announcement and didn’t hear about it till a week later. That goes to show how people may have forgotten this man who brought poker to a whole new level.

Born Thomas Austin Preston Jr. in Dec. 31, 1928 in Johnson, Arkansas, the poker great became known as Amarillo Slim as became the face of poker for America. The guy won the World Series of Poker main event way back in May of 1972, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Amarillo Slim was known for his passion for the game, and how he would seek out any game. Any game. Never mind that it was not a profile event as the World Series of Poker. If there was a good game around, trust Slim to sniff it out.

He was also known for making weird bets, not necessarily poker-related. Whether or not the stories are true, they say he would make bets such as playing pool using a broom stick. Of course, there are some negative things that can be said of Amarillo Slim, including assault charges. Whatever you say about the man, though, he was definitely a character and a man well-loved by the poker world.

They say that till the very end, he was playing the game. Amarillo Slim, you will be missed. Rest in peace.

Ryan Seacrest on His Way to Building an Empire?

Gina — Tue, 01 May 2012 09:04:53 +0000

Ryan Seacrest

Everyone knows who Ryan Seacrest is, and that is saying a lot if you look back to the old days when he was a mere radio show host as a teenager. Today, there is no doubt that Mr. Seacrest is one of the biggest personalities in Hollywood, and by extension, the world.

The personable celebrity is best known for his ongoing stint as American Idol host, but he also has a lot of projects on the side. What many might not know is that just how vast his reach has become. He has not forgotten his “humble” origins and continues to do radio shows, but on top of those, he is also an integral part of E!. He even snagged a gig with no less than Dick Clark himself on “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve”!

Some say that Ryan Seacrest is well on his way to building an empire that not every Hollywood personality can achieve. With the latest news that Seacrest just signed a deal with NBCUniversal, those speculations just might be accurate predictions.

Experienced businesspeople have not been shy to praise Ryan Seacrest as well, saying that he is a “rare breed”. That is, the guy can be all that you want in front of the camera and make the hordes of entertainment-hungry people love him, but at the same time, he is a tough businessman in real life. And that, folks, is what might just make Ryan Seacrest an emperor in his own turf.

As if his smile were not enough to make women want to kill themselves – and maybe each other – over him!

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon in Paris to Renew Their Vows

Cat — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 18:11:34 +0000

It’s been 4 years since Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon exchanged “I do’s” in an intimate wedding ceremony in the Bahamas on April 30 2008. This year, the power couple decided to celebrate their 4 years of bliss in the city of love and renew their vows. Surprisingly, they also thought it would be sweeter to invite the press to take part in their celebration at the La Maison Blanche hotel.

Their third year anniversary last year couldn’t have been celebrated any better than welcoming their twins Moroccan and Monroe into the world. This only calls for another cause to celebrate in yet another great city in another great country when their twins turn one year old this year. The couple is said to be flying to Austria by then.

Well,hats off to this couple for keeping Hollywood couple’s inspired in making a relationship work despite the 10 yr age difference. Having known each other for only a month after they announced their relationship, Mariah had no qualms about the endless criticisms she got after they went public, the singer believes they are soulmates and that their love is certainly written in her cards.

Incidentally, Mariah and Nick have been taking it easy for a while and have decided to go on a little break from their usual stints. Life and its curveballs, has Nick suffering from a kidney failure this year. It’s been tough for the couple these past months but they seem to be basking in their unique and special devoted love for each other.

Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan: Unlikely Guests at the White House?

Gina — Fri, 27 Apr 2012 09:48:19 +0000

Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan

The White House might very well be one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and while it is open to practically everyone, certain events and areas are only for the super special. And when it comes to events, the White House Correspondents Dinner is one of the oldest traditions.

Conventionally, the dinner is supposed to be a meeting place for the President and political journalists. But who said that that has to remain the same for ages? Definitely not the current organizers of the dinner, I suppose, for we have two “unlikely” guests to this year’s dinner: Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.

No need to introduce either of the two celebrities. They have had more than their fair share of media exposure for sure, but for the life of me, I cannot think of Kim or Lindsay as being part of political media. Or am I missing something here?

Then again, other names that have been spotted on the guest list include Josh Hutcherson. The name doesn’t ring a bell? Hint: The Hunger Games. I guess that’s as political as you can get, huh?

Watch the video for more of Lindsay Lohan and her pending appearance at the White House.

Cesar Millan Pays Ex-Wife $400,000 To Keep Quiet

Cat — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 14:06:11 +0000

Cesar Millan is definitely digging deep in his doggie stash to keep the peace with his ex-wife. After ending their marriage in June 2010, the 42 year old Animal Planet superhero doesn’t seem fazed with his ex-wife’s financial demands to keep her silence.

Millan has agreed to appease his ex spouse, Ilusion, with a mouth dropping $400,000 lump sum payment. On top of this, he pays $10,000 a month in child support and $23,000 monthly alimony. Cesar and his wife were married for 16 years and have two sons.

Whispers of documents that have been in court settlement for the couple say that the former Mrs. Millan has agreed in return, to keep in confidentiality any personal/private information about the other party and any sexual details of their relationship. This also shall include non-commercial photographs, film or videotapes and recordings.

We are in utter wonderment of these said materials since there have been no specific mention of any explicit goings- on in the personal life of our favourite Mexican kennel mentor. At the time of their separation, they seem to have been in good grounds and kept firm on being caring friends and committed parents to their sons.

Oh well, this financial settlement may just as be chump change for the famous dog whisperer as his multiple Emmy nominated show grosses $170,000 a month. And afterall, we all know we can’t put a real price on freedom and happiness.

5 Celebrity Boob Jobs to Inspire You

Gina — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 04:29:02 +0000

The perfect pair of boobs. That’s what many women yearn for these days, isn’t it? Thanks to Hollywood, plastic surgeons, and supermodels, some women do spend considerable hours in front of a mirror trying to imagine themselves after a breast augmentation procedure.

No one can blame them. After all, guys do seem to be overly fascinated with these things we call boobs, and even women tend to envy those who are better endowed than themselves. Thank God for medical science, yes?

I have to admit, though, that while I am not all obsessing about getting a boob job, it is always amusing to observe how celebrities look before and after a breast lift. (And rarely, a breast reduction procedure.) Here’s a short list of celebrities and how they look -
breast lift before and after.

Tila Tequila

Tila Tequila, born Tila Nguyen, is a model and TV personality but is perhaps best known for her stint as a porn star. She does have other career activities such as singing and online ventures, but who cares about that? This before and after picture is a testament to what a good surgeon can do. Oh, and that should be “before and after and after…” This gal has had more than one procedure, is what we have heard.

Sofia Vergara

Colombian actress slash model Sofia Vergara is gorgeous – with or without breast implants. She has denied having gotten implants, but unless she has one heck of a push up bra, I think this photo pretty much tells everything, doesn’t it?

Serena Williams

The other half of the Williams sisters has gotten herself a boob job as well, which I both understand and puzzle over at the same time. I would have thought that as a professional athlete, she would have NOT gone for a heavier front. Then again, if it doesn’t get in the way of her game, if she looks better with a breast lift, why not? It doesn’t look like she’s complaining.

Victoria Beckham

Back in the day, the gorgeous wife of football star David Beckham had her fair share of encounters with boob jobs. One cannot deny how fake her breasts look, though, and she has since then had the implants removed.

Kelly Rowland

Destiny’s Child member Kelly Rowland may not have become as big as Beyonce, but she did go the same route: plastic surgery. Looking at this before and after picture, I think that this is one of the cases when we can say SUCCESS!

The Biebs Gets Snubbed by Christina Aguilera

Gina — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:53:04 +0000

Christina Aguilera and Justin Bieber

No offense to Justin Bieber fans – although you probably still will take offense – but cry me a frakkin’ river. Seriously. This is Christina Aguilera we’re talking about. She may not be the most talented singer in the entire world, but she does have the chops.

And then there’s teen (or pre-teen) sensation Justin Bieber.

C’mon! There really is nothing to discuss, is there?

You might or might not have heard about it, depending on whether you watch The Voice or not, but the celebrity grapevine has been burning because of the alleged snubbing that Christina Aguilera did on the show. During the last episode of The Voice, where Christina Aguilera is one of the judges, she had to eliminate one of her team members.

So Justin Bieber was also part of that particular episode, and after the elimination, he went down to the judges to make the courtesy calls. It seems that he was in the position to give the gorgeous singer a kiss and a hug when she was all set to give him a mere handshake. To her credit, she did adjust her own actions so as not to totally embarrass the kid. At least that is what I assume.

You can, however, infer so many different things and give the incident your own spin. One look at that photo above, and you might even feel justified in using the word “snub” to describe what Christina did. I think it’s just her innermost feelings coming through uncensored for a second. Being the celebrity that she is, she quickly did a 180 and even followed it up by praising the Biebs.

Get over it, kids.

Ryan O’Neal Reveals Stage 2 Prostate Cancer

Cat — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:55:26 +0000

Now 70 yrs old, Ryan O’Neal, announces his battle with prostate cancer. The actor has had a bit of a media confusion regarding the prognosis of his illness, with news saying the actor was previously diagnosed with stage 4, but O’Neal has officially released a statement regarding his condition.

At stage 2, O’Neal says his cancer is well under control although , “ I was shocked and stunned by the news, I feel fortunate that it was detected early and according to my extraordinary team of doctors the prognosis is positive for a full recovery, “ — “ I wasn’t prepared for it. I wasn’t ready for it. But you never are.”

Losing his long time partner in life Farrah Fawcett to anal cancer in 2009, Ryan says it was the memory of Farrah that kept him positive. Farrah was his inspiration as she taught him how to fight the good fight.

Farrah was 62 at the time of her demise. Ryan and Farrah have a son together, Redmon , 27. He also has a son with ex wife Leigh Taylor Young and 2 children from his first wife Joanna Cook Moore – one of whom was married to John McEnroe for a few years, whom we all know as the lil rebel vixen Tatum O’Neal.

Brangelina to Get Married in France

Gina — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 11:24:41 +0000

Brangelina French Estate

So the “good old US of A” is not good enough for the most famous celebrity couple of this generation? Is that it?

Probably not.

It is no secret that the famed Hollywood couple have properties around the world, and it just so happens that they have an estate in the south of France. Mind you, the use of the word estate is not an exaggeration in this case as the couple’s property is indeed worthy of that name. One can even call in a mansion housed in sprawling grounds. But do you expect anything less from Brangelina?

After so many years of being a couple – not to mention the countless children – Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have finally decided to seal their relationship with the social construct that is marriage. Whether you call it a fairy tale ending or not, the planned wedding is definitely going to go down in history as worthy of being in a fairy tale.

The wedding is slated to happen in the summer, with preparations already on going. As can be expected, the wedding is going to be lavish, but it seems that the guest list will only be around 200 to 300 people. Either the couple wants a “small” wedding or the village where the estate is located is not big enough to hold more people.

The couple has also announced that they plan to live in the UK after the wedding. It’s not that they are throwing away their American roots. It’s just that Angelina is going to shoot some movies in the UK, so indeed, why not live there?

Stay tuned for what might very well be the real wedding of the century.

Robin Gibb Falls Into A Coma

Cat — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 16:24:53 +0000

Robin Gibb may only have a few days to live. The Bee Gee’s crooner has been battling liver and colon cancer for over a year, and has now succumbed to a coma.

The 62 yr old singer strongly put his faith in beating his illness and always kept a positive attitude , but in spite of having seem to have made a recovery, a second tumor was detected and he has fallen ill with pneumonia as well.

Robin’s colon cancer was detected when the singer had to undergo two separate surgeries for a blocked bowel and twisted bowel, after which his cancer spread to his liver. Apparently, this could be a genetic health flaw for the Gibbs, as his twin brother Maurice Gibb, also suffered from complications of a twisted intestine. He died in 2003 at the age 53.

After his recent TV appearances and shows he had to cancel on due to health reasons, it was undeniable how Robin has been toughing out his condition. The singer looked visibly gaunt and just not looking well. Barry Gibb, now 65 yrs old has arrived in the UK earlier in the week from the US to be at his brother’s side and along with Robin’s wife Dwina, and their 3 children.

Chris Noth Ties The Big Knot

Cat — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:39:36 +0000

And oh the sound of many breaking hearts when Mr. Big finally took the bite at the big M word and said goodbye to his long time bachelor life on Sex in the City. Well, maybe not so many, as we do know how long Carrie Bradshaw waited for him to finally commit.

Who knew in real life he was the same commitment gun shy person. Chris Noth certainly has been ducking out on marriage for a long while but finally exchanged vows with his long time girlfriend Tara Wilson last April 6. Ten years was a real test for the couple, being that Tara was only 20 yrs old when the couple met way back in 2002. They dated all the way and became parents to their son Orion in January 2008, and only in October 2009 did they announce their engagement.

Now 57 yrs old, Chris Noth seems to have had a his light bulb moment coming. However, he chose to keep this momentous day romantic and arranged a very intimate Hawaiian sunset wedding at a posh beachfront venue on Makena Beach. Officiated by a local priest and celebrated with just 10 guests, this was certainly nothing short of a seriously romantic wedding, and only called for a reception at one of Hawaii’s award winning restaurants , The Gannon. In his charcoal double breasted suit, and her in a white sleeveless white dress , the groom ran off with his blushing bride to their honeymoon suite at the Four Seasons in Maui.

Axl Rose “Respectfully” Declines Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction

Gina — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 10:09:19 +0000

Axl Rose

It’s what rock stars – and wannabe rockstars – dream of: being inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And if there is someone in our generation who is worthy of being part of that great legacy, I think that Axl Rose right there. The entire group, Guns ‘n Roses, deserves that distinction, for that matter.

But no, Axl Rose seems to have a different idea. He has respectfully declined to be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

The induction is supposed to happen this weekend, with the famed rock group getting together again if it happens. By the looks of it, though, fans should not even expect it at the slightest. Former front man Axl Rose has already made an official statement (not that anything “official” has stopped him in the past) that he will not be accepting the honor. He says that it is a personal decision and that he does not want to disappoint anyone. In addition, Axl Rose specifically requested in his statement that he not be inducted in absentia. Speculations abound that this is due to Steven Adler’s comments about the singer, and if Axl’s sentiments about considering to get together on stage with ONLY Izzy Stradlin and Duff McKagan are any indication, Steven Adler may very well be the reason.

Pissed? Disappointed? Take a look at the video below where Steven Adler gives his side of the story. I don’t know about you, but I call BS on it!

Still, as much as I adored Axl Rose as a teenager (and while that has lessened, he is still one of my favorites), personal sentiments aside, I think he should accept the induction. What’s your take?

Is Alicia Silverstone Clueless on Motherhood?

Cat — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 15:12:06 +0000

Alicia Silverstone isn’t being totally clueless with her actions when it comes to feeding her 11 month old son. Maternal mouths dropped to the floor with shock, after a video of Alicia pre-chewing her son’s food and then passing it over to her son from her mouth, came out streaming in the public eye. This made her the controversial debate of Hollywood parental concern as medical professional opinions started flying in regarding her rather unconventional feeding.

The 35 year old actress was blasted for her maternal choice of feeding as hygiene definitely dictates this to be a clear unnecessary means and cause for bacteria and viruses to be passed onto her baby.

However, Alicia insists this feeding practice between mothers and children have been going on for thousands of years. According to her, it is her manner of approaching the weaning process for her son with rock and roll star Christopher Jarecki, whom they named Bear Blu. She defends this even more, saying that it’s rather adorable and makes her laugh all the time and that it is an entirely lovely and natural thing to do. Well, we can’t be in any position to question her views on her style of parenting but hopefully she didn’t get tips from her Clueless identity, Cher Horrowitz.

Alicia is gearing up for her new and upcoming film Vamps which she co-stars with Richard Lewis, Sigourney Weaver, Krysten Ritter and Dan Stevens. The movie is set for release sometime late this year.

Casper Smart Gets a Dodge Ram For His 25th

Gina — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 14:51:03 +0000

Who the heck is Casper Smart? That’s the reaction I got from a couple of people – but only a handful. After all, his relationship with star Jennifer Lopez has not escaped the prying eyes of the celebrity-fascinated. Far from that actually. When news broke out that Jennifer Lopez was dating one of her back up dancers, tongues started wagging, and fingers started flying across keyboards.

Come to think of it, I do not understand why anyone was surprised when Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart started hanging out “way too much”. These things should be considered a normal occurrence by now, shouldn’t they?

But I digress! Casper Smart might be one of the luckiest back up dancers in the world. He just turned 25, and guess what he got for his birthday? A truck. The kind that you can actually drive and show off. Isn’t that every little boy’s dream?

Smart (who might also deserve that name for hooking up with no less than J-Lo) didn’t get just any truck, though. He got a Dodge Ram. A customized one.

The actress-singer-American Idol judge said that she knew that her boy friend has been wanting a truck, and what better gift to give him? Indeed, if you have the money to burn, why not give your lover everything he wants? And boy, was Smart happy about his birthday gift. Rumor has it that he wanted to go out and show the truck off that very night. I wonder what his girl friend had to say about that? I have a feeling that she might have shown a happy face, but I am pretty sure that she had other plans.

On another note: Do you think Casper Smart is hot? I think Jennifer Lopez is hotter, to be honest.

Is Drew Barrymore Sporting A Baby Bump ?

Cat — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 16:06:23 +0000

So is she or isn’t she? That remains to be the question for Drew Barrymore’s rather showy little baby bump. Ouuf, did I say baby bump? Naah, it might just be one too many grilled cheese sandwiches for this hippy flippy quirky chic.

Stepping out on the town in a rather tell-tale T-shirt in Los Angeles, it’s pretty evident that tiny tummy protrusion is could certainly be a biological statement of impending motherhood for Drew.

The 37 year old actress was doing a grocery run at the time in a pair of skinny low rise jeans and a rather flimsy loose fitting navy blue Tee which seemed to hint of a round delicate paunch.

The tattle tongues have not stopped wagging about Drew’s pregnancy ever since pictures of her came out in public carrying a sonogram last January.

Sources have been pretty keen on their confirmation that her fiance’ Will Koperman popped the question together with a colourless cut 4 carat diamond and plan to tie the knot this summer.

After a string of relationships, ill-fated engagementsand two short lived marriages, we’re hoping the Drew has finally found her one true thing with the son of former Chanel CEO Arie Kopelman

Start Your Own Celebrity Blog

Gina — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 13:54:07 +0000

Do you live and breathe celebrity news? Do you know who is going out with whom even before everyone on Twitter or Facebook start posting about it? Do you think that you can rival Perez Hilton?

Why don’t you start your own celebrity blog then?

Sure, there is money to be made if you are that good, but the main thing is that it might very well be one of the most fun things that you can do these days. If you really are that much into celebrities and their lives, then starting a blog should be like icing on the cake for you!

Starting a blog is not that hard. The first thing that you have to do is decide on the domain name of your blog. It does not have to be celebrity-related. It can also be anything that you can use to market your own brand. Whatever you choose, make sure that you feel totally comfortable with it and that you can use it with pride.

The next thing to do is to register your domain name. You can actually do this in tandem with another step: get a web host.There are many web hosting services which you can choose from, and many of them offer domain name registration bundles with their hosting offer. The trick is to do a little bit of research so that you can ensure that you are getting a good deal. Look at decent and unbiased reviews of the various web hosting services so that you have a clear idea of what you are getting into. Here is a good example of a review – go daddy review.

A word of caution: while it is necessary to do some research, do not spend excessive time on it. After all, at the end of the day, you have to make a decision and the sooner you get web hosting and register your domain name, the sooner you will be able to launch your own celebrity blog!

What other things do you need for your celebrity blog?

Design. You can use default templates offered by blogging platforms, or you can find free custom themes. Alternatively, if you have some cash to burn, get someone to create a custom design. That ought to make your blog stand out!

Content. This should not be an issue if you are always updated on what’s going on in the celebrity world. Still, make sure that you are always on the ball and that you update your blog as often as you get the scoop!

Lastly, have fun!

Ronan Keating Finally Admits His Marriage is Over

Cat — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:47:32 +0000

The marriage is over between Ronan Keating and his wife Yvonne. This is a recent development on the Irish singer who has been riding a rough tumble and toss in his personal life. But during a photo call with his old Boyzone mate, Keith Duffy, Ronan stepped up to finally admit to the public that it is over.

The 35 year old boy band heartthrob was promoting World Autism Awareness Day when cameras caught his brave smiles as he played with local kids at the Fire Restaurant. However, despite the break up, his tweets are definitely firm on dismissing rumors that he is moving to Oz, since his 3 children all live in Ireland. He says he will be staying in Dublin for half of the year and will only fly to Sydney as he is needed to film the Ozzie edition of The X Factor where he has been sitting as a judge since 2010.

There are no solid facts as to the real reason behind the split, but whispers have gone loud on the matter of time and distance being the main contributing factor of an already rocky marriage surviving with ragged seams of the couple’s struggling efforts to repair it. This came after Ronan had an affair with his back up dancer just two years ago. Obviously, despite of his fault as a husband, the man is a devoted father — and has no other plans to be anything less.

NCredible Health Hustle: Nick Cannon’s Web Documentary Series

Gina — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 14:47:24 +0000

Nick Cannon

Nick Cannon is a personality in his own right, but he really got the attention of people when he hooked up with older singer Mariah Carey. You can say all you want about that – and his career as well, but it seems that the two are going strong. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Cannon’s body, which is not at its healthiest at the moment.

Nick Cannon has been hospitalized in recent times, with statements being released about his kidney failure. Even if you have not had to face this health problem, you are sure to have heard about the horrific conditions that can arise from it. And it just goes to show that Hollywood celebrities are definitely not immune from such things.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that Nick Cannon seems to be taking the bull by the horns and not calling it quits. It is said that he is slowly but surely coming to grips with his health problems – the kidney problem not being the only one. The 32-year-old has come clean with his health situation and has even launched a web series called NCredible Health Hustle.

The first episode details how the celebrity discovered that he had health problems, with Nick doing the narration himself. Of course, his wife Mariah and their twins are also part of the video series. There are no specific details about the future episodes, but they will definitely showcase the celebrity’s fight against lupus and other complications. He also plans to share his “battle plan”, which includes exercise and diet changes. I would not be surprised if the tone will be inspirational.

Here is the first episode of NCredible Health Hustle.

I think that this is one web series that is actually worth supporting, especially if you – or someone close to you – is suffering from a serious health condition as well.

Jim Carrey Might Pop The Question Soon to His Russian Girlfriend

Cat — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:41:06 +0000

Some May-December wedding bells could be ringing anytime soon for Jim Carrey and his Russian student girlfriend Anastacia Vitkina.

The 50 yr old actor seems to have let the cat out of the bag on his 50^th birthday celebration that he is ready to settle down and get married.

Although the couple have only been dating for five months, Jim has decided it’s time to get married and that he can’t wait to pop the question to 30 yr old Anastacia. The couple met in New York last October and his college co-ed love is said to have attended the Parsons School of Design and is now enrolled at New York University.

After his split from Jenny McCarthy in April 2010, Carrey has been hitting the dating scene on and off with some 20 somethings, the last of whom was 24 yr old America’s Next Top Model contestant Anchal Joseph.

It seems pretty odd that Carrey decides to get married again, when in the five years he and Jenny were in a solid relationship, they each strongly confessed how they did not feel the need for a piece of paper to bond them as husband and wife.

We don’t know what makes Anastacia special enough for Carrey to finally have that need to make his love official on paper this time around, if ever he does pop the question. But, he does admit that he was quite smitten by her smarts and her sense of humor.

Dennis Rodman is Flat Broke and Sick

Cat — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:21:39 +0000

Dennis Rodman seems to be juggling too many hard balls of late, leaving his trail blazing with nothing but smoke and a chunk of back child/alimony support . Another sad story of a famous athlete whose career sky rocketed and plummeted due to bad behaviour and his hard style partying.

Even after his basketball career suffered, the notorious Rodman still had endorsements and appearances coming his way. After all, he was a former Defensive Player of the Year and a seven-time rebounding champion and that certainly still had long term pay-offs.
However, Rodman is now facing possible jail time of 20 days due to charges filed by his ex wife Michelle Rodman for his failure to pay child support amounting to $ 808,935 for their 2 children and $ 51, 441 in alimony.

The 51 yr old basketball Hall of Famer has his attorneys out with a public statement that he is broke and extremely sick. There has been no specific comment as to what Rodman is suffering from , but many speculate his documented drinking and partying may have taken a huge toll.

Undoubtedly, it is pretty hard to keep up with finances when one’s income hardly supports non stop party hopping and a third ex wife running her tab of expenses at $ 17, 000 a month plus attorney’s fees!

Kim Kardashian: From Flour Bombing to Buying the Beckhams’ House

Kim Kardashian Flour Bombed

We’ve all seen that image make the rounds. I don’t know about you, but I thought it was pretty hilarious! Then again, I might have thought otherwise if it were me on the receiving end.

Whatever you think about Kim Kardashian being flour bombed, it is very clear that the star – or at least her sister – didn’t appreciate it. While she took it all in stride during the event (she even laughed and cracked jokes), Khloe has released a statement via her blog.

Hi dolls. I’m sure you all heard what happened to Kim last week (thank you SO much for the love and support you all showed her), and I just received word that the woman responsible has very close ties to PETA, despite PETA publicly stating otherwise. Not only has PETA lied to the public, but they have proved that they support this kind of behavior. I’ve been a vocal supporter of PETA for a long time but I have also been very vocal about anti-bullying, so this was a huge disappointment for me. As you all know, I don’t condone violence and bullying and what happened last Thursday was just that. I am absolutely disgusted by their behavior. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and opinions — I personally don’t wear fur but that doesn’t mean I am going to force my views on anyone else, ESPECIALLY by violating them.

We all need to practice what we preach. I will still continue to NOT wear fur, but I will no longer support PETA. Bullying and harassment is NEVER a solution, and I won’t be a part of any organization that thinks otherwise.

As much as I have had it with this bunch, I think that those last lines make sense. Then again, PETA has not been exactly exemplary in walking the talk, has it?

In other news, Kim Kardashian seems to be leaving flour behind and is going to look at the European home of David and Victoria Beckham. The GBP18 million house in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire is up for sale as the family is not using it anymore. Kim, on the other hand, wants a European base. What better secondhand house than the Beckhams’?
