What Is She Wearing???

Photobucket


Diane Keaton has always been known for her unique sense of fashion, but I'm not so sure about this look. I know the hat and glasses are her "signature", the skirt is something else. It's like a giant bubble or something. It's very strange.

What's Wrong With Katie's Teeth?

Photobucket


Photobucket


Photos have just been released of Katie Holmes in NYC walking to the theatre. She looks great except for her teeth. They look horrible. She is usually known for her big, bright-white smile seen below. Witnesses say she was "all smiles" during the walk not trying to cover up her mouth at all. I don't know if she forgot to put on some caps or something before she left or what the deal is. Either way I like her but it's still kind of weird to see her looking far from her perfect polished self.

Heidi And Spencer Get Political!!

Another day another staged photo for everyone's most-hated favorite couple, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag.

Photobucket


The two were seen just casually(more like posing the entire time)walking down the streets of L.A. wearing political shirts. Oh yea Spencer carried a gun and 6 pack of Budweiser while Heidi is carrying a book. Guess she figured the book would make her look smart. It was Henry Browne's "You Can Profit From A Monetary Crisis". Right.

Photobucket


Heidi's shirt reads: “Read My Lipstick: Vote McCain-Palin”. Spencer's was “Palin For VP: God, Guns, Glory”.

For something that wasn't planned there sure was a lot of picture taking. From the two of them just walking, to reading the book together, drinking beer and kissing. They make me want to puke. They are so fake, I seriously wonder if they think that what they wear would make a difference to young voters. Nobody even looks up to them. People use these pictures to make fun of them..so pathetic!!

Victoria Beckham In Vogue India

Photobucket


Victoria Beckham has made her debut in Vogue..India.

"I feel like an Indian princess!" says Beckham, who appears on the November cover in a beautifully embellished wedding-day sari.

She appears in the bridal special issue: "It's so me," she says, examining the intricate detail of the fabrics. "This is real craftsmanship."

The singer and fashion designer is certainly becoming a Vogue regular, having graced the April cover of British Vogue – making this her second cover of the fashion magazine.

So Did Victoria get along with the Vogue editors in India??

"I thought she was a hoot!" said Vogue fashion features director Bandana Tewari. "Victoria had this unexpectedly dry sense of humor that all Brits seem to develop in response to their soggy weather!"

Kim Kardashian Spends Her Birthday In A Hospital!!

Photobucket



Instead of spending her 28th birthday in London with boyfriend Reggie Bush, Kim Kardashian spent it next to him in the hospital.

She even wore a hospital gown to celebrate her 28th birthday Tuesday at an Alabama medical center, where Reggie Bush was recovering from surgery after injuring his knee.

"I was supposed to be in London right now with Reggie but we had to cancel our trip," she wrote on her blog. "In [Sunday's] game against the [North] Carolina Panthers, Reggie injured his left knee and needed surgery."

She remains positive: "As long as he is okay, I will have the best birthday ever!!!!"

Salma Hayek Can't Make Up Her Mind!!

So are they or aren't they together?? Salma Hayek hit the Balenciaga fashion show in Paris with her ex-fiancé Francois-Henri Pinault, the owner of the fashion house and father of her one-year-old daughter Valentina Paloma.

Photobucket


"[They were] very friendly together, looking happy," said one attendee. "They weren't holding hands but were definitely side by side."

The couple's public outing comes just weeks after they were spotted together in Los Angeles.

On Thursday, they had afternoon tea in the gallery of the Plaza-Athénée Hotel. "They seemed very comfortable," said an onlooker, "with Valentina playing on the couch between them." And on Saturday, they went with their daughter away for a weekend outside the city.

After today's show the two returned to the Plaza-Athénée – where Valentina was waiting in the lobby. "She came walking over and kissed Mommy and then she kissed Daddy," said an eyewitness. "It was very sweet."

Justin and Jessica..So In Love!!

Wedding bells might be ringing soon for Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. These two have never been more in love. Recently Justin was overheard telling friends he was "this close to marrying her"(using his thumb and finger to demonstrate to them just how close he is).

Photobucket


This picture was taken of the couple while on vacation in Rome. It looks like it should be in one of his music videos or for a movie, but it was not staged at all.

While in Rome they have been dressing casually in denim and leather jackets while exploring the city, heading hand-in-hand to all the tourist sites. The couple has shunned the expensive bars and restaurants usually favored by celebrities in favor of low-key intimate drinking holes in the city.

One Irish tourist couldn't believe her eyes when she spotted the A-list couple in a Roman bar. She said, "The bar was so tiny and quite cheap, so I couldn't believe it when my friend told me I was standing right beside Justin Timberlake. I had to do a double take. We asked him for a photo and he was very friendly and warm. He asked for time to finish his drink, but happily posed with us afterwards. Jessica looked so different in the flesh than she does on screen, she appeared very shy and normal and left Justin to do all the talking."

Such a cute couple!! I love hearing stories of celebrities hanging out at normal places and just blending in. It makes me like them so much more!!

Britney Spears Just Can't Catch A Break!!

Poor Britney!! She is doing so incredibly well these days and then horrible news came. Today while shopping in N.Y.C she was surrounded by mobs of fans, it became so overwhelming that she returned to her car and left. Britney is not new to that whole scene so it had to be real bad for her to have left.

Then she announces her first international tour since 2004 for her new album Circus. It is exactly where she wants to be right now, especially after the amazing turnout from the MTV VMA's. So what changed all this??

Photobucket


Well her ex, the scumbag, Adnan Ghalib has revealed that he is trying to sell a sex tape featuring the two of them. He told Heat magazine that he is willing to sell the alleged footage for "the right price." "There is such a tape, but I won’t discuss prices for hypothetical enquiries. Unless there is a locked-in deal, I will go no further" Ghalib said.

He says the tape was shot in Mexico and features Britney wearing nothing but a pink wig. Rumors of a tape have been the talk since their break-up.(They started dating during her meltdown and broke up when she was rushed to the hospital) Last month it was rumored that they had gotten back together because she feared the release of this alleged tape.

I really hope that they can somehow stop him before damage is done. She is working so hard on getting her life back and it seems it's all been coming together the last couple of months. She is back to her old body, making hit songs, and getting ready for a tour. He is basically black-mailing her, he probably wants more money from her or something. What a sick man!! Even though I'm not a huge fan, I'm still rooting for her. I never like to see anyone regardless if I know them or not go through what she has been through. And for him to come in right now and do this it'ss going to be seriously damaging. Not only to her career but her mind. I hope this all turns out well, I really do!!

Lindsay and Samantha Spend A Romantic Day At The Beach!!

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson had some fun in Mexico on the beach. Normally Samantha is seen sporting the tomboy style, but she shocked everyone by wearing a blue and pink bikini while on vacation.

Photobucket


They relaxed and lounged around all day perhaps escaping from their hectic Los Angeles lifestyles and Lindsay's crazy dad. Just before they left for the L.A. airport Lindsay was spotted stocking up with two packets of 200 cigarettes.

The couple finally came out earlier this month and admitted that they were in fact an item to a radio DJ. When asked how long they had been together Lindsay - who has been living with Samantha since May - replied, "A very long time". Aww so cute, happy and in-love!!

Check Out Victoria Beckhams Ugly Boots!!

Photobucket



Victoria and David Beckham arrived at Macy's in NYC last night to promote their new perfume. No one really cared much for the perfume as they did her boots. They were incredible 51/2 inch Berardi boots with no heels.

Everyone expected to just get pictures of her new pixie haircut but as usual Posh surprised everyone.

Photobucket


English-Italian Berardi is an old friend of the Beckhams, the designer started the heel-less shoe revolution in the summer with a $3,500 sandal bought by Beckham, Uma Thurman and Gwyneth Paltrow. But he believes the radical designs do not mean new levels of pain for fashion-following women.

‘They are perfectly balanced,’ he said. ‘When the girls come for fittings, they look a bit daunted, but by the end they say it’s just like wearing a regular shoe.

‘They are graceful and there is a ballerina nature about them. Having a heel is really just psychological.’

They may be the height of fashion, but Posh Spice's heel-less boots have received a low rating in terms of safety.

A spokesman for the British Chiropody and Podiatry Association said: "I certainly would not recommend these shoes. The heel is there to stabilise. When you elevate the rear of the foot it makes you lean forward, which is bad for both the back and the foot." And a spokesman for the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy said: "Anyone wearing them would have to completely adjust their gait pattern, missing out on nearly two-thirds of the natural gait cycle. If [Posh] were to wear this sort of style for anything more than a short red-carpet walk she could suffer from foot pain, ankle pain, knee pain, spinal pain and neck pain on a permanent basis."

Besides the fact that they have no heel, seem impossible to walk in, they are the one of the ugliest shoes I have ever seen. Really, I don't see what is so great about them.

Heather Locklear Arrested!!!

Actress Heather Locklear has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in California.

Photobucket


Locklear was pulled over in the city of Santa Barbara by a California Highway Patrol officer. The arrest came after a resident reported seeing the 47-year-old leaving a car park and 'driving erratically' on Saturday afternoon, according to patrol spokesman Tom Marshall. The officer noticed Locklear's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane in Montecito, a wealthy community about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles. She was believed to be alone in the car, Marshall said.

"In talking with her, (the officer) determines that she seems to be under the influence of something," Marshall said.

Locklear was taken to the police station, where she was tested for alcohol and drugs.
She was booked at 7pm on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication. She was later released from custody. Calls to Locklear's publicists were not immediately returned.

Locklear checked into a medical clinic in June to seek treatment for anxiety and depression. Last year, she got a divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora after 11 years of marriage. They have a daughter, Ava Elizabeth.

Everyone is taking this story way out of context saying illegal drugs and stuff. I'm sure it's not the case, it probably was her depression and/or anxiety medicine so while it wasn't illegal to take them she should not have been driving. In her mug shot picture she clearly looks like she has been crying, I feel bad for her. But at the same time she has enough money where if she needed to go somewhere that bad she could of paid someone to drive her there.

Scarlett Johansson And Ryan Reynolds Get Married In Canada!!

Photobucket


Scarlett Johansson has married actor Ryan Reynolds in a quiet wedding ceremony in Canada. They got married on Saturday at a remote resort outside Vancouver, British Columbia, her rep confirmed.

Wedding guests included the 23-year-old bride's mother, Melanie Sloan, and her brother, Adrian Johansson. Scarlett and Ryan began dating in the spring of last year shortly after Reynolds split from then fiancee, Alanis Morissette.

They announced their engagement on May 5, the day the actress flashed a three-carat diamond ring estimated to be worth about £16,500 at the Met Costume Gala Ball in New York.

They informed their friends of the engagement by sending them text messages.

It may not be long before the pair start a family as Reynolds has already revealed he wants children with Johansson. He said at the time of their engagement: 'I do want a child at some point. I feel like I need to fulfil the genetic paradigm, the destiny of it all.'

At the beginning of September, Scarlett said she was determined to keep her wedding to Reynolds "as private as possible". Referring to other lavish Hollywood wedding bashes, she said that they "sound awful, actually, I'm a private person, so, obviously, I'm pretty sure our wedding will be as private as possible."

In an interview, she said falling in love had a lot to do with timing.
"You don't always meet the right person at the right time," she told Cosmopolitan.
The actress claimed remaining faithful to one partner is 'hard work' and not natural.
She said: "I don't think it's a natural instinct for human beings. Monogamy can be hard work for some people. I don't think it applies to everybody and I don't think a lot of people can do it."

But Johansson insisted she is among those who can resist the temptation to cheat. Johansson, who had dated actors Josh Hartnett and Jared Leto, is convinced her relationship with her new husband will last because they are among those couples who can be monogamous. Although she once described monogamy as unnatural for human beings, she also said these things, "I believe in finding a soul mate, I've always been in monogamous relationships. I would never want to be in an open one. It'd be too awful."

Congrats to the two of them!!

Sarah Palin Though Tina Fey Was Funny On SNL!!

Photobucket


Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin evidently had a good laugh at being parodied in the Saturday Night Live opening skit this weekend.

"She thought it was quite funny, particularly because she once dressed up as Tina Fey for Halloween," her spokesperson Tracey Schmitt said.

In the skit, Fey appeared with Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton and the two talked about sexism in the media and their own ideas about politics. "I don't agree with the Bush doctrine," Poehler said at one point.

"I don't know what that is," Fey added, laughing.

The governor and her traveling press corps watched the show from the campaign plane. All this week it has been the talk everywhere. It was the most watched SNL episode since 2002 when Al Gore hosted. In case you missed it check it out below...The Fox News people just talk for a couple seconds then its after that.


Eva Longoria Parkers Costar Claims She Is "Just Fat, Not Pregnant"

Photobucket


Eva Longoria Parker’s Desperate Housewives costar, Felicity Huffman, is putting those pregnancy rumors to rest.

"She's just fat, that’s all there is to it!" Huffman, 45, said jokingly. Right all size zero of her is fat. And the fact that she is so tiny that she has to get clothes custom made for her would never have me associating the word fat and Eva in the same sentence.

Rumors of a pregnancy for Eva and Tony Parker, have been going around all summer after the actress wore a loose-fitting sundress on a shopping trip and later debuted a fuller-than-normal bikini body in July.

When questioned about her "fuller figure" she said, she "can’t wait to have children, but her fuller figure is all for the sake of her role as Gabby on Housewives".

In addition to putting on weight for the role, Eva will also wear a fat suit this season to play an overworked housewife when the shows storyline jumps ahead five years.

"She looks cute," Huffman said of a fat-suited Eva. "But she's always like, 'Feel my ass! Feel my ass!’ All the jokes [on set] are Eva and her fat suit."

Shannen Doherty Leaving 90210!!!

Photobucket



When everyone heard that 90210 was coming back to television it caused quite an excitement. Then when one of our favorite characters Brenda was going to be part of the show as well it made us get even more excited for the show. Well now its time to be disappointed!! Shannen Doherty, Brenda Walsh's alter ego has announced that her comeback will be more short-lived than expected, revealing that she is unlikely to appear in the new 90210 beyond the first four episodes.

And not because she wasn't wanted.

"Shannen was signed to do four episodes, and we've always made it clear we'd love for her to do more," a source close to the production said. "There's a possibility for her to come back."

"They asked me to do a lot more," Doherty said, adding that it was scheduling conflicts with another project that prevented her from continuing on.

"I'm in the middle of pitching a show, [so] I couldn't commit to more than [I did]."
Shannen had left the original 90210 many years ago after stories of fighting off-screen with Jennie Garth. They had reportedly patched things up for the new show, but maybe that was all lies. Shannen's departure was announced right after Jennie agreed to star in five more episodes of 90210, bringing Kelly Taylor's total to 11—should the first season show survive that long, which, ratings-wise, it looks like it will.

Last week's two-hour series premiere averaged nearly 5 million viewers, becoming the CW's highest-rated scripted show ever. The show's second outing this week fell slightly to an average of just 3.3 million viewers, but maintained its stronghold on the coveted 18- to 34-year-old fairer-sex demographic.

I'm sure it will die down even more in the weeks to come, that first week everyone who had watched the show back in the day and lived for the nights it was on tuned in. It wasn't really all that I had hoped for or what I remembered loving about the show. Then again you can't recreate that feeling that was there so many years ago without those original cast mates and especially now with so many other popular shows out there geared towards people in that age range. When 90210 first came around, it was pretty much the only show of its kind which made it the huge success that it was. I don't know what the future holds for the new one but the numbers will tell us soon enough if it will last the whole season.

Kanye West Arrested After Fight At The Airport!!

Kanye West is known for his bad temper. He proved to everyone just how bad it can get today when he was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport. The reason; he apparently helped smash a paparazzi guys camera on the floor.

Police arrested him shortly before 8 a.m. He and his manager, Don Crowley, were booked for investigation of felony vandalism, although prosecutors will determine what charges they might face.

He was released from police custody later on in the afternoon. Blair Berk, who was retained as his attorney, said she couldn't comment on the incident. Really?? Who would of guessed that. Ha!

Clips of the video shot by the site TMZ shows Kanye and his manager grabbing the camera from a photographer, who is yelling "Police! Police!" and "Help me!" After they wrestle it away, it appears that the manager smashes the camera to the ground, and Kanye follows by smashing down another piece.

His manager is then seen wrestling with the TMZ videographer who's shooting the footage. The video camera was broken in the scuffle before security intervened, the Web site reported.

The video starts mid-confrontation, and doesn't show how it began or what might have caused it to escalate, but knowing how Kanye is, it could of been just them saying "Kanye! Over here!" or something like that. Then again TMZ is very aggressive in the ways they get there videos, it's the reason they have a TV show. Anyways, check out the video.



Los Angeles International Airport spokesman Marshall Lowe said Kanye and his manager were scheduled to board a flight to Honolulu, Hawaii this morning. They had not yet reached a security screening checkpoint when the altercation began.

The airport is a popular spot for the paparazzi, who frequently get a lot of shots of celebrities entering and leaving LA.

Charles Davis, who solicits charity donations at the airport, said he witnessed the incident, and that Kanye was "attacked" by paparazzi, and the rapper "just defended himself."

"I talk to him all the time," Davis said. "He's a very nice gentleman. Very nice. He gives good donations to help children. He's got a good, kind heart. I've gotten his autograph several times. I just don't see why he was arrested. The man just put the camera too close to his face. I don't blame him."

Davis said he didn't think the camera was destroyed.

"It was just knocked out of the man's hand," he said. Although the video clearly shows otherwise so who knows how reliable this witness is.

The reporter is also seeking money for the damaged camcorder reportedly valued at $10,000.

This video is a witness who supposedly saw the whole thing happen and called in a local radio station that was discussing the events.

Britney Spears Will Be Kicking Off The VMA'S

It has just been revealed that Britney Spears will be kicking off the MTV Video Music Awards.

"MTV has long played an important role in my career. How can I not be there to kick off their 25th VMAs?" Spears says in a statement. "I'm excited to open the entire show, to say hi to my fans and to be nominated."

Spears – who has been nominated 16 times and never won – is up this year for Best Female Video, Best Pop Video and Video of the Year for "Piece of Me."

It's still not known how she'll open the show. A source confirms that the opening segment will not feature a musical performance by Spears. At least we know it won't be a repeat disaster of last year's events, but hopefully it goes well for her. I know I'll be watching to see what happens!!

David Spade Is Dad To A Baby Girl!!

Photobucket



David Spade had announced in January that he had a brief relationship with Playboy Playmate Jillian Grace. The result of that was Jillian becoming pregnant. When David found out he said that if it was proven to be his child he would accept full responsibility.

Well the time has come and a baby girl was born last week in Missouri.

After the birth David's announced, "David and Jillian have been in close contact throughout her pregnancy and he plans to go see the baby during his first break from shooting Rules of Engagement."

No other details, including the baby's name, were provided.

"My closet full of size 0's are being worn by Pete right now and he looks hot in them."
– From Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's Myspace blog, on how husband Pete is making use of her pre-pregnancy wardrobe.

That's kinda creepy. Even though he normally wears tight clothes, which is fine, they are women's clothes. Ashlee needs to have this baby so she can get her wardrobe back!!

Is Selena Gomez Still Jealous Of Miley??

Photobucket



Selena Gomez has a new album coming out. The one song is about a guy who she will not name but gave some good hints as to who it is. In an interview with Twist Magazine she says, "My favorite song that I've written is called 'I'm Sorry', It's about a boy I kind of fell for, but he couldn't let his ex-girlfriend go, and it was really difficult."

Selena says, "I felt like in a way, I wasn't good enough." Yes, competing against huge star Miley Cyrus would be extremely hard.

The lyrics tell the story of encouraging her boyfriend to move forward. "The song is basically me saying that I'm sorry that it didn't work out or that she used to be who she was, But you have to let me in and you have to know that I'll do everything I can to make you happy and be the best I can be."

For the rest of the album she adds, "I want the other stuff to be really fun, But that is probably going to be the most heartfelt one because it was the hardest time for me. That story actually happened to me."

I'm going to have to guess this song is about Nick Jonas. It's funny because Miley has her "7 Things" song that most think is about Nick. Apparently he is something special to have these ladies going crazy over him.

Lindsay Lohan Gets Political On Her Blog!!

Photobucket



Apparently Lindsay Lohan is now a political blogger?? Hahahahahah...Ok sorry I just couldn't contain myself there. I'm better now!!

Anyway Lindsay who has been regularly updating her MySpace page to lash out at her father and whatever else she feels necessary to say to the world, recently addressed the controversy surrounding the pregnancy of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter Bristol.

"I am concerned with the fact that Sarah Palin brought the attention to her daughter's pregnancy, rather than all world issues and what she believes she could possibly do to change them – if elected," writes Lohan in a Tuesday posting. "I get Sarah Palin's views against abortion, but i would much prefer to hear more about what she can do for our country rather than how her daughter is going to have a child no matter what."

She also added: "i think that girls that are CHOOSING to be sexually active and are making a conscious decision to grow up faster..... I think that parents need to recognize how important it is to talk to their children about the things that can result from being sexually active if they aren't protecting themselves (birth control, condoms, etc.)"

But politics wasn't the only thing on the post. She also used her blog to proclaim her love for girlfriend Samantha Ronson, listing her current mood as "smitten" and signing off with "ILY"--I love you.

"This song is for you sr…ILY" Lohan wrote, adding a link to the song "Trouble" by folk singer Ray LaMontagne, which contains the lyrics, "Well I've been saved by a woman/She won't let me go" and "She gave me love and affection/I said I love her/Yes I love her."

And in another show of affection for Ronson, Lohan who is currently filming Ugly Betty in New York City, made an online plea for help finding Dixie Cup ice cream: "so, samantha and i are looking for DIXIE CUPS…" she wrote. "does anyone remember them??? I have to have them before she gets back."

How cute!! Nice to see a young star like her who just seems so stupid actually caring about what's going on in the world, maybe I don't hate her so much after all!!

Heidi's Upset She Wasn't Picked As Vice President Running Mate!!

Photobucket


Heidi Montag, who has declared her support for John McCain, jokes that she's "really hurt" she was passed over as the Republican presidential candidate's running mate.

"I can't believe it," she laughed. "Blondes have more fun. I guess he doesn't know that."

"He picked a girl and it wasn’t Heidi," Montag's boyfriend, Spencer Pratt, added. "Not picking Heidi for the vice president. It's just cold."

Seriously I really hate these two. Supposedly it was said kidding around, but I know this is how they really feel, as if John McCain even knows her let alone gives a shit who she is!! If you don't know who these two are, your not missing much. They are the most pathetic couple around. They think that they are famous because they are on a MTV reality show and they honestly believe they are some kind of gods. They demand such ridiculous things like $500,000 for an appearance of them at a club. They are such media whores. Here I am getting sucked into the trap of writing about them which is exactly what they want, but when I read this story I could not resist posting it and letting it be known they are idiots!!!!

7 Things Miley Cyrus Hates About Her Ex!!!

Photobucket



Miley Cyrus's song "7 Things" was inspired by heartache that the young teen went through.

So who is this guy that caused her so much pain?? Brett Ratner, who directed the video visited the singers house to get a better idea for the video's concept. While there he was shown "all of her personal items from under her bed that her ex-boyfriend gave her." (Among the mementos: "Dirty socks and a bunch of photographs.")

And although he never mentioned Miley's most famous ex, Nick Jonas, by name – the director does drop one major hint.

"The necklace she's wearing in the video is the necklace [the boy] gave her," Ratner says. "She's wearing his diabetes or medical necklace." (Jonas – who split with Miley in late 2007 after two years of dating – has Type 1 diabetes and is a spokesperson for awareness of the disease.)

In a E! News Interview Jonas insisted that the song couldn't be about him. "My friends aren't jerks,"

Referring to the lyric: "Your friends, they're jerks/ When you act like them, just know it hurts." And that’s just one of the seven things she "hates" about her unnamed ex.

Miley recently told MTV that much of her record is about past relationships. "Most of my songs are for the girls who hate their current or ex-boyfriends," she explained.

"You can tell by the lyrics that they're very personal," Ratner added. "The stuff she talks about in the video is clever and emotional and fun at the same time."

So for all the guys out there-Watch Out...Don't break the girl's heart or else you might become the next Hit Song and it probably won't be a good thing!!

James Gandolfini Gets Married In Hawaii!!!

Photobucket



James Gandolfini married his fiancée Deborah Lin yesterday (Saturday) in her hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii.

"There was a nice big kiss at the end with both hands on the cheeks" when they officially became husband and wife, a guest says. "They looked great."

A group of their closest friends and family were the only ones in attendance as the two exchanged their vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by white lilies and rhododendrons adorning every pew held at Central Union Church.

Deborah, a former model, strolled down the aisle in a white gown made of Italian lace while James stood waiting as a harpist played the "Hawaiian Wedding Song" in the background.

James's son Michael, 8, from his first marriage to Marcy Wudarsk (which ended in 2002), served as best man.

Following the elegant 20-minute nuptials, the newlyweds stepped into a white stretch limousine and headed to their evening reception at a nearby resort.

At the reception, James and Deborah sat at an elevated table looking out onto the guests in the filled ballroom. "They both wore long, green leis around their necks," says a source. "There were lots of white flowers on the tables and James was beaming."

The couple made their first public appearance on the red carpet in March 2007 for the New York City premiere of the second half of the final season of The Sopranos and have been engaged since late 2007.

Congrats to the two of them, I wish them lots of happiness in their marriage.

Posh went to lunch at Manchester's Harvey Nichols in Manchester today to launch her new perfume. She looked beautiful, except for her ears. Pictures of her ears were taken and they really need to be cleaned. I know she is a very busy woman but come on now!!!

Oprah Winfrey left Denver with the candidate she wanted, but reportedly without her eyelashes. The talk-show host said she was moved to tears by Obama's speech. And those must've been some serious tears. 'I cried my eyelashes off,' she said in the bowels of Invesco Field, moments after Obama accepted the nomination for president before an estimated 84,000 people.

Before singing the national anthem to a slowly filling stadium, Jennifer Hudson appeared lost in thought, wearing a casual gray dress and listening to iPod earphones as her handlers asked for directions to the podium.

'Fired up!' said an excited Spike Lee on the field. 'Bigger than the Super Bowl!'

Kelly Osbourne Fights With A Reporter!!!

So Kelly Osbourne came out the other day sporting a huge black and blue eye which she claims she got from a kitchen cupboard falling on her.

Photobucket


The 23-year-old was out at the Smash and Grab night at Punk nightclub in Soho last night.

She left with Paul Weller's son Nat at Punk, drinking lots of champagne and getting out on the dance floor with a few of her friends.

But things turned bad when she spotted a gossip columnist and made a bee-line for her.

A source said: 'Kelly was dancing with a female friend, then saw someone she knew and went and started talking to them. She sat down next to the girl and looked like she was telling her off. I heard her say "you better watch your back, She then slapped her around the face and stormed out of the club. It was particularly funny as she had a black eye".

It seems Kelly is having a bit of a rough week. I wonder what is going to happen next!!!!

David Duchovny Gets Help For His Sex Addiction!!

Photobucket


David Duchovny has now entered a rehabilitation center for sex addiction. His lawyer, Stanton "Larry" Stein, issued this statement from David.

"I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction, I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family."

Duchovny fended off rumors of sexual addiction throughout the 1990s. "If you're single and in the public eye and you have a few dates, you're a sex addict," he told Cosmopolitan in 1997. Leoni also publicly denied the speculation at the time, telling Elle in 1998, "David was accused of being a sex addict. Which I always found very exciting. And then I found out it wasn't true."

"Twelve years ago, I would have been hard-pressed to understand why I'd want to be involved sexually with one person this long," the X Files and Californication actor told Best Life magazine earlier this year. Before Téa, the longest my intense sexual interest would last would be maybe two years," he said. "But the real rewards of a relationship come after you've been together a while. That's where Téa and I are lucky."

He would also sometimes sidestep sexual questions, particularly when they became the focus of interviews for Californication, his racy Showtime show that premiered in 2007.

"T-- and a--, not important to me," he told Entertainment Weekly last year. "Kind of beside the point."

In the interview with Best Life this year, Duchovny emphasized that for a married man, experiencing lustful feelings for other women is harmless – if they remain just feelings.

"There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the panoply of life's rich experience," he said. "You can't control your mind. Why would you want to? You can't feel guilty about being alive, about being a man, about feeling attracted. You can only control your actions."

DMX Pleads Guilty!!!

Photobucket


Rapper DMX has pleaded out a Miami drug case and now awaits extradition to face more charges in Arizona.

The 37-year-old rapper and actor pleaded guilty Wednesday to attempted marijuana and cocaine possession and was sentenced to time served. His lawyer Bradford Cohen says DMX is still in custody, waiting for Arizona authorities to pick him up on drug and animal cruelty charges there.

Cohen says DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, decided to plead guilty when he was denied bail earlier this week due to the outstanding Arizona warrant.

Cohen says if he hadn't pleaded guilty, Simmons would have had to sit in jail in Miami until an October trial date.

Kim Kardashian Works On Her Butt For DWTS!!

Photobucket


Kim Kardashian is already in rigorous rehearsals for Dancing with the Stars, and she hopes it will have a positive effect on her famous derrière.

“I’m hoping that it’ll firm it up and shape it up,” she said during a launch party for the Pink Blackberry Curve at L.A. boutique Intermix. “Everyone is asking if I’m worried it’s going to go away. No, it’s going to tone it up. I can use that.”

Kardashian said she expects to show off more than a little skin as the competition moves forward.

“Today the costume that I tried on wasn’t as crazy, [but] the better shape that I get into they will be a little more sexy and risqué,” she said. “I’m starting off with maybe a ball gown, something a little bit more elegant and a little bit more covered up.”

Kardashian, who upped her fitness regime in preparation for the competition, is now dancing eight hours a day with pro partner Mark Ballas. “I’m seeing a slight change [in my figure],” she said. “I realize that when I would try to work out really fast, that I would be burned out. I would work out for two days and then wait a few weeks and then workout for a few days again. I decided to stay focused and continuous and I started to see a major change. So, I think I’ll start to see a slow progress throughout the whole show.”

As long as she can steer clear of dangerous glass coffee tables, that is. “My toe is hurting me a little bit more than I thought,” said Kardashian, who cut her toe in a hotel room Sunday. “We switched to an open toe … We cut off some of the straps to make it a super-open toe on one foot so that I can [dance].”

As far as her chances of walking away with the trophy, she feels being paired with Ballas, who took last’s seasons title with Kristi Yamaguchi and with whom she already has a “brother and sister” bond, gives her an edge.

“I do feel the competitive spirit and he’s been helping me to feel better by telling me that every female celebrity that’s won Dancing With the Stars, their name started with a ‘K’: Kelly Monaco and Kristi Yamaguchi. So I’m a little bit luckier there.”

Britney Has Supporters Everywhere\11

Photobucket


Britney Spears, who is up for three awards for MTV's Music Video Awards – including top honors – has a huge supporter, Pharrell Williams.

"She's made her mark with her career," Williams said. "She's super-talented. She's an entertainer."

Williams, collaborated with Spears on her hits "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Boys."

"It was cool, it was fun," said Williams, who is currently working on new music with Common and Fall Out Boy.

Besides video of the year, Spears's nominations include best pop video and best female video. She has never won a MTV Video Music Award, despite 16 nominations in her career.

While Williams is rooting for Spears, her musical success does not hinge on success at the awards show, he says.

"I'm not sure [if she will win]," Williams said. "I don't even know if it really matters whether she wins or not."

Spears's live MTV VMA performance of "Gimme More" last year was a notorious disaster. This year, Spears has appeared in taped VMA commercial segments with host Russell Brand, but is not scheduled to perform.

She competes with the Jonas Brothers, Chris Brown, the Pussycat Dolls and the Ting Tings, for video of the year.

I'm rooting for her, not just for this award but a total comeback!!!

Man Builds Huge Railroad On His Front Lawn!!

Photobucket


Eric Marshall, pictured above has transformed his front garden into a miniature railway.

Fully operational, Mr Marshall's garden train set incorporates two signals, four separate tracks, bridges, a cable car, a windmill and ten water features.

Now he just has to get used to the hundreds of tourists flocking to his front door to see his collection in motion.

"I've always had an interest in railways," Mr Marshall said. "I was born within 50 yards of the main London-North East railway. As a kid I used to go trainspotting."

"A few years ago I went to a railway exhibition and saw the model trains running around and I thought that would look nice in my garden, he said. I started building the railway three years ago and I make everything myself. I started with one track and now I have four. I make all the houses and stations from plywood and the tiles on the top are made from cedar wood. All the tiles are stuck on individually, so everything is more or less weather proof. I use anything I can find around the house, like floor tiles - I never throw anything away".

Mr Marshall's attention to detail is second to none, with railway workers and villagers taking pride of place in his creation. The garden railway has become so popular that tourists now stop off to watch his impressive display.

Mr Marshall, who used to work in the printing industry, accepts donations from visitors and has raised over £500 for Macmillan Cancer Support this year alone.

Jessica Simpson Is In Love!!!

Photobucket


Jessica Simpson has been so happy in recent months and she claims it's all thanks to her boyfriend. She says Tony Romo is her "perfect guy."

"I just told him today, 'You're the love of my life,' " she confesses in the latest cover story. "I don't really ever say that to anybody."

Simpson also co-wrote a song for her man, "You're My Sunday," which is featured on her new country album, Do You Know (out Sept. 9). And, in a true modern-day sign of devotion, changed her cell phone number and e-mail address to cut off any potential communication from her exes.

"I don't want anybody that's been in my life [before] in my life anymore," she says. "I don't even want them to have any way of contacting me."

Romo hasn't done the same, but Simpson brushes it off. "I'm not a jealous girlfriend," she says – even though in a recent interview his ex, Carrie Underwood, claims she still hears from him.

After breaking up with John she says, "I had to regain self-esteem and self-value,"

When it comes to relationships, Simpson says she gives over her heart fully and expects the same in return: "I just love, so I don't understand when people can't do exactly what I do."

I'm so happy for the two of them and especially that Jess has found love again-I really like her. I especially like that she provides a distraction to Romo when he plays football, being that I'm a huge Giants fan, I love seeing those Cowboys lose.

Baby Born With Two Heads Dies!!

The baby I had wrote about yesterday that was born with two heads has unfortunately died. He died because his parents could not afford to pay for his medical care.

The boy, named Kiron, was born on Monday to a 22-year-old mother in the Bangladesh town of Keshobpur.

Doctors said they could raise the money to take him 100 miles to the capital Dhaka, but warned there would be ongoing medical costs.

Kiron's poverty-stricken parents said they could not afford further treatment, and against the advice of doctors took him home to their village near Keshobpur.

There the child, who at first seemed healthy, developed a fever and died.

Privately, doctors said it would have been a miserable life for Kiron had he overcome his initial medical problems.

'Perhaps it was God's will that he passed away,' said one.

'We wanted to refer him to a hospital in Dhaka but the family was so poor that they could not afford to take him there, so they took him home where he died,' paediatrician K S Alam told the AFP news agency.

Officials feared that unless the baby was moved from the clinic in Bangladesh, where he was born, to a more secure hospital, the crowd would force their way in to gaze at the amazing sight.

If that happened, it was feared, mother and baby would be crushed.

In the past, babies born with physical abnormalities have been viewed in countries such as Bangladesh and India as living gods.

Kiron was born in a cesarean operation on Monday, weighing just over 12lb, in Keshobpur, 100 miles from the capital, Dhaka.

Newspaper Samakal said many well-wishers had left money for the baby's family.

Hillary Duff's Dad Is Spending Some Time In Jail!!!

Photobucket



A judge in Texas has ordered the father of actress and singer Hilary Duff to spend 10 days in jail for contempt of court.

Bob Duff was led away in handcuffs Wednesday during a court hearing after Judge Thomas Stansbury in Houston determined he violated an injunction against selling assets without court approval.

The Houston Chronicle reported in its online edition that Bob Duff must pay into a court repository $367,537 he earned from selling stocks last month.

Bob Duff's attorney Robert Piro said his client would post bond and file an appeal.

Bob and Susan Duff are in the midst of a bitter divorce.

Stansbury determined Bob Duff should pay Susan $12,500 for Hilary's birthday party, which was the subject of the hearing. Her mother wanted $25,000 to pay for a present and party.

Neither Hilary or her sister Haylie were in court.

Police Called To O.J.'s House!!!

Photobucket


Police were called to O.J. Simpson's Florida home over the weekend following an altercation between his girlfriend and eldest daughter.

Initial reports suggested that O.J. was injured by his daughter Arnelle Simpson, 39, as he tried to break up the argument on Sunday night.

Arnelle was said to be angry with her father for giving money to his girlfriend Christine Prody , while her mother, Simpson's first wife Marguerite Whitley was struggling to pay her bills.

The National Enquirer alleged Arnelle had pushed Simpson into a glass cupboard during her argument with Christine.

Despite reports Simpson had suffered a cut to the head and a bleeding lip, he was looked intact when he spoke to U.S. TV channel CBS this week.

Simpson said: 'Look at me, I look fine. It must be slow news day.'

He told CBS the fight was strictly between the two women and he wasn't involved.

The police report says officers were called to the home after an incomplete emergency call.

O.J. just can't stay out of the news for a month.

Lindsay and Samantha Fire Back At Michael Lohan

Michael Lohan recently made comments in an E! News report about Sam Ronson(Lindsay's girlfriend) planning to pen a tell-all book.

Photobucket



He said: Sam's "using my daughter. People never even knew who Samantha Ronson was until she met Lindsay. She was just some L.A. DJ."

Lindsay fired back on her blog saying: "He has become a public embarrassment (sic) and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is)." His motivations are pretty obvious to her. It's all because of "an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME."

Lindsay was so upset she was even listening to her daddy-issues anthem "Confessions of a Broken Heart," according to her MySpace profile.

Samantha responded as well on her blog, in an entry titled "Shut the F*** Up," she writes that Mikey "is so desperate for attention that he goes to the media whenever possible- i know i am being used, i am just a pawn- easy to sacrifice in order to feed his addiction."

She also clarifies that "it's safe to say that there is not now and never will be a tell all..... written by me..... when does your book come out Mr. lohan?"

However, angry MySpace attacks are just going to inspire more material when reporters call him today to ask for comment. And he'll comment because he can't help himself.

Included are the actual girls' responses from their blogs.

Lindsay Lohan:

If you have something to say to me, say it to my face- that's what i have believed my whole life- don't be a coward and say it to others first, let alone all the media in the world- i think we know where the rest of this blog is going...

If you guessed it had to do with my father- then you guessed right! It really hurts, because i have tried- after all that my mother and siblings have gone through, i really tried to make things work- For the hope of having a father again-wanting things to change- even though people have said, some people will forever remain the same.

Having said that- the people were right, and he is yet to change- but this time, without his daughter by his side- He has become a public embarrassment and a bully- To my family, my co-workers, my friends, and a girl that means the world to me (its obvious who that is).

He has no idea what is going on in my life because i have chosen not to involve him in it- His recent attack on my life and my loved ones is simply for an ADDICTION THAT HE HAS- FAME. Why he feels the need to comment on anything in my life that i may want to keep private, is beyond comprehension- If he really cared about me and my life, then he would learn to respect my wishes by staying out of it.

Samantha has not and would never sell me out. Nor has my mother, who is wonderful.

This further proves that any information that my father has about me or the people in my life is Internet based- and about as accurate as a page six item.

I'm not going to engage any further, though i probably could go on...

I have said enough, i have a therapist, and it is not the the camera man at x17.

Samantha Ronson:

i really don't want to say anything because i feel like he wins- he, being the man who is so desperate for attention that he goes to the media whenever possible- i know i am being used, i am just a pawn- easy to sacrifice in order to feed his addiction. I was angry when i first read his attack on me, but- for me- i believe that actions speak louder than words... so now i just pity him- i am not standing in his way- i am not the reason that he has no contact with his daughter- he is- his need to throw a tantrum for the whole world to hear is- i am not going to go into a play by play defense- i feel no need to publicly defend my role in Lindsay's life- I'm just sorry that she likes me more than him.

p.s. I'm not the one that is so lost that i need to use my relationship with Lindsay to earn a living.... i am, always will and always have been here for her for her- not for anything else....so I think it's safe to say that there is not now and never will be a tell all..... written by me..... when does your book come out Mr. lohan?

Her father has always had bad intentions and the poor girl keeps going back to him because it is her dad and keeps giving him second chances, but there are only so many chances you can give someone before you have to let go. It's a shame because it is her dad, but he is obviously only after one thing.

Luke Perry Going Back To 90210??

Everyone, including myself, is really excited for the new 90210 show to start; especially now that a couple of the old characters are coming back, but there was one character who nothing has been said about, Dylan McKay aka Luke Perry.

Photobucket


Well guess what ladies?? Our dreams might be coming true!!!

Supposedly they are in talks with him to bring back his role. This has been drawing lots of attention and not just from his fans, but from his possible future cast mates.

"Oh. My. God. I love Dylan McKay," Shenae Grimes, who plays Annie Wilson on the new 90210, says in Nylon magazine. "If I ever meet Luke Perry I may collapse. I don't know what I'll do."

Same goes for one of her costars, Jessica Stroup...

"Are you kidding me? He's an amazing-looking man," Stroup says. "Sexy! I remember being at my cousin's house and taking the cushions off the couches and just watching Luke Perry on TV and falling in love. The rebel, the rebel…"

The show is going to be packed with so much sexy it needs Luke Perry to complete it. "American audiences have an attention span of, like, three seconds," says AnnaLynne McCord, who plays Naomi Clark. "You have to catch their eye when you flip channels, so it's very provocative, very racy, very sexy."

Let's keep our fingers crossed. How can you have Brenda with no Dylan?? We'll see what happens.

Michael Phelps On Season Premiere Of SNL!!!

Photobucket


The long running sketch show Saturday Night Live has chosen Olympic golden boy Michael Phelps to host its 34th-season premiere Sept. 13 on NBC.

Aside from all the commercials and inevitable talk-show spots, this will be the first "acting" role for Phelps, whose world-record-smashing, eight-gold-medal-winning performance at this Summer Olympics made him the poster boy of U.S. swimming for generations to come and won him the hearts of millions of admiring fans.

They chose rapper Lil Wayne to be the musical guest. 2008 has been the most successful year of his career.
Photobucket


Meanwhile, the MTV Video Music Awards has also jumped on the Phelps bandwagon by securing an appearance from him at the Sept. 9 award show.

It's going to be strange to see him in regular clothes, although I'm sure there will be at least one scene of him in his speedo and numerous ones about the Olympics. I'm going to have to check it out to see if he can even act, being funny doesn't matter since the show hasn't been in years.

300 Squatters Forced Out Of Homes They Were Taking Over!!!

Police helped force out a large group of squatters who took over a block of flats on a road lined with £1 million houses after a string of complaints about rowdy late night rave parties from furious neighbors.


Photobucket


Upmarket homeowners told how 300 illegal occupants took over a neighboring block of flats - holding all-night rave parties, lighting bonfires and playing loud music.

Residents slammed council officials for failing to secure the homes, which they say have been made into a rubbish tip, strewn with broken furniture and beer bottles, and covered in graffiti - since the freeloaders moved in en masse in March this year.

According to residents police visited the squat on Tuesday night telling them they had to leave and since then they have been packing their things.

Today the squatters have been moving out in a slow trickle and there has been no trouble. Pensioner Barbara Glosby, 70, who lives next to the squat, said: 'I'm so glad they are leaving. 'Week after week I couldn't get any sleep between 7pm and 5.30am. They were diabolical. 'I've called the noise control eight times and I've visited the Town Hall, but after six months nothing was done about this. But thankfully they're going now.'

Although the council has finally acted and evicted the squatters from the block, in Clapham, South London, residents want to know how much it will cost them to clean up the mess left behind. The four blocks, which were being used as temporary accommodation, were due to be returned to a private owner when the lease expired in April.

But the squatters, including around 100 young Polish men, took residence in the 45 flats just before the handover after hearing it was empty by word of mouth. Following the squatters moving in Lambeth Council immediately helped Addington rentals begin court proceedings to remove the illegal tenants eventually securing today as the eviction date.

Lambeth council in London had said it could not return the apartments to the unnamed owners until the premises had been vacated - leaving the council with a rent bill estimated at £40,000 a month. The total cost to taxpayers, including legal fees and repairing any damage, is likely to be close to £500,000.


Dave McAvoy, chairman of the residents association for the Weir Estate next to the squat, said: 'The squatters have blighted residents lives, particularly the people who live closer to the property. 'They've had late night parties and music going on until the early hours. 'Locals have told me they've had so many sleepless nights especially at weekends - they've had to put up with so much noise. 'We are delighted to see this come to an end. The time has come for local residents to enjoy some peace and quiet. 'It has been going on for far too long. Obviously we bear these people no ill feeling but it's the way they have become part of the community but have given other locals no consideration. That's the big problem.'

Dulce Lopes, 31, a mother who lives across the road, said the quiet residential area had been devastated by the squatters.

She said: 'It feels more dangerous here now. It's very dirty and there are a lot of shady people hanging around opposite my house. Some of them look like punks, they are very strange.
'There are cars and people coming and going in the middle of the night. Sometimes we feel scared because we don't know what they're going to do.'
Another neighbour, a father of two young children who did not want to be named, said: 'The noise is absolutely unbelievable and it continues late into the night. They are all drinking and no doubt taking drugs.
'It's a nightmare living next door to all that. I can't wait until they are evicted.' The squatters have defended their right to occupy the flats and said they have offered to pay some rent. One squatter, who did not wish to be named, moved into the flats around four months ago when she was nine months pregnant. She said: 'My partner and child and I have nowhere to live at the minute. I don't want to squat any more because of my child. 'I have lots of sympathy for the locals.
'It's been bad for me too - my baby is very young and I have asked people to stop their music too.'Squatting is a hard life - I have just finished my last year at university, have just given birth and also have been trying to work to get some money.'

Another squatter called Sasha, 25, a full-time performing arts student, said: 'I've been squatting for five years and I've been in this place for a few months. Most of us work together and try and keep the place in good condition - this is our home after all.'I've known for a while we were going to have to move out so we organised a new squat, but unfortunately the council have already stopped us from moving in so I will have to find somewhere else.

'This squat is made up of a huge variety of people - families, people who work as well as students, but we're not scroungers.

'There are people from all around the place - English people, people from other parts of the UK as well as from Italy, Spain, Poland, South Africa, north and south America, Canada, Germany, Mauritius - from everywhere.'

Another squatter Eugene, 32, said: 'I've got a four-month-old baby.'We can't afford £1,000 a month to rent a flat privately. Many of the people here would be happy to pay some money to live here but the council won't even talk to us.'They just want us out as soon as possible, so they can give the place back to the owners. I think they want to redevelop it.


'There's a community of us here, lots of families and children. We just want to live our lives in peace.' A Lambeth Council spokeswoman said: 'We share the concerns of local residents and have done all we can to help the property owners to remove squatters from Limerick Court as quickly as possible.


'Unfortunately, like any crime, squatting is an illegal and antisocial activity that results in a cost to the tax payer and incidents like this raise a general debate on how property owners everywhere can evict squatters swiftly given the current powers available.

'Residents were being moved to new homes following the end of our lease at Limerick Court and we were due to return the premises to its owners but, despite the steps we took to secure the property, it was squatted en masse.


'We worked with the property owners to immediately set legal processes to get a possession order, and eviction has been taking place today.'

Jeremy Clyne, a local opposition councillor, said it was a 'scandal' the authority had wasted so much money on continuing to pay rent after its bungled handover of the estate.

He said: 'To handle this so badly that the council lost control of a whole set of blocks is just not good enough. The council need to put a stop to this now.'
