R Kelly Fan Sent to Jail

You know how when there’s a big pink elephant in the middle of the room, most people choose to ignore it? Well, this is kind of like that. In an irony to end all ironies, a woman was arrested to five days in jail for snapping a picture of R&B singer R Kelly in court. What about putting the guy with child porn charges behind bars? Or take him to trial at least!

49-year old Jean Johnson used her cellphone camera to take picture of Kelly during a recent hearing. She plead guilty to contempt of court and was sentenced to the 5 days.

Katherine Heigl Weds

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ star Katherine Heigl got married last weekend to singer Josh Kelley. There were reportedly a lot of her co-stars there, including TR Knight which may just be the reason that Isaiah Washington wasn’t there. But then again, he wasn’t that liked anyway.

OK! reports that Katherine walked down the aisle in an Oscar de la Renta gown and to a song written for her by her now husband Josh. TR was said to be a groomsman while Sandra Oh, Kate Walsh and Justin Chambers were attendees.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! May you prove the Hollywood love curse to be a myth.

R. Kelly is Early

R. Kelly may have been a no show to his court date the day prior but the singer wanted to be a good little boy and actually showed up 20 minutes early for his re-scheduled hearing on Thursday. He reportedly did not show the day prior because his tour buses were detained in Utah.A sharp looking Kelly arrived in court and paid no mind to the waiting paparazzi. The judge continued the hearing until Friday which meant that he would be in court during the day time and doing his other job of singing at Chicago’s United Center come night time.

Lily Allen Talks

Mom-to-be Lily Allen has spoken about her life in the new issue of Harper’s Bazaar. She talks about her body, her bad habits, her diet and exercise, Britney Spears, celebrity role models and even her relationship with Chemical Brothers member Ed Simons.She was asked whether her relationship with Ed has helped melt away the pounds. She responded with “I’m certainly getting more exercise in the bedroom…So yeah.” It’s also added some pounds – in the form of a baby! So here’s to hoping that Lily would quit smoking and that she won’t starve herself during this delicate period. Otherwise, she might give birth to something that looks like Amy Winehouse on a really bad day.

Queen Latifah and Jenny Craig

Move over Kirstie Alley – there’s a new princess, I mean, ah, Queen in town.

Queen Latifah is the newest celeb to join Kirstie and pal Valerie Bertinelli as a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight loss program. JC has confirmed that Queen will start in January.

Queen Latifah is one of the few celebrities who has been proud of her plus-sized figure over the years. According to Jenny Craig’s people, her ads won’t be about getting smaller or fitting into a certain size dress, but will be focused on living a healthier lifestyle.

They say, “We are thrilled to have Queen Latifah support our mission of improving health by taking her first step toward achieving a more healthful lifestyle.”

Congrats, Queen, but don’t forget that big is beautiful, too!

Ricky’s Bare Back

Ricky Martin showed accidentally shoed off his bon-bon when he flashed some major butt crack as he bent over on the security line at LAX airport on Saturday in Los Angeles. He apparently likes to go commando on us.The 35-year old Puerto Rican pop star also seems to be embracing his gray hair but also had a funky patch of long hair growing out of his cowlick. Is this the latest hair trend or is this because he’s become enemies with the stylist that outed him in a magazine? He should learn to just keep his friends close and his enemies closer. They have some use.

Katherine Heigl Ready to Wed

It’s been 18 months in the making, and Izzy, I mean Katherine, is ready to just get it over with.

“I’m mostly panicking about all the details, and getting there, traveling, transportation, talking to the pastor, getting the license.” Once that’s all said and done, they’re ready to work on kids.

“I’m super excited to start a family,” she says, “I’ve always wanted a family, a large family. But I say that now!” Katherine says she would like to be a mom within a year (rushing, maybe?) but beau Josh Kelly wants to wait a couple.

So, Izzy wants a baby…..George, you hear that?

Even Posh Ain’t Perfect

Umm, even with her perfectly coiffed hair, chiseled face, and packin’ hubby, Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) has her not-so-good days.Take this weekend, for instance, at one of the Spice Girls reunion concerts. Maybe she should rethink the ridiculously skin hugging outfits because this one was hugging a little too tightly.

Check out the pic to see her pit cleavage. Can she not FEEL the lump?

Apparently swollen, lumpy body parts run in the Beckham family these days.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes See Celine Dion in Vegas

Enjoying a two day visit to Las Vegas, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes finish up the trip by attending a Celine Dion concert at Caesar’s Palace.

Sources say the couple was very gracious and happily signed autographs for fans before the show. They then sat down to watch the two and a half hour show.

After the show, Tom and Katie went and spent some time meeting Celine. She said she was both excited and nervous about having them watch her performance.

Also that night, the couple enjoyed a romantic dinner at the SW Steakhouse at the Wynn. Another diner says they were holding hands and were “very lovey dovey”.

Thanks, but I’ve lost my appetite.

Britney Appeal Ban

It goes from bad to worse with Britney Spears. When she isn’t stealing lighters worth pennies or driving over policemen’s’ feet; she is making up lame illness excuses to avoid being questioned in court. And now it seems that that little stunt may have backfired. It is rumoured that by failing to turn up at her court-ordered deposition this week; Britney Spears may be banned from appealing for custody of her children.

All because she couldn’t face a days worth of questioning about her drug habits, among other things, but could face a night out on the town til 2am on that very same night. Needless to say her ex-husbands lawyers are furious; and reportedly plan to ask the judge to bar Britney from asking for more custody rights.

Oh dear, it doesn’t look good. Already reports have been filed against her abilities as a parent, we have all seen the proof against her ability to drive…and yet somehow she is filing for adoption rights. The world is topsy turvy…

Spice Force One

Wednesday night marked the christening of the new ‘Spice One’ Virgin Atlantic plane at Los Angeles International Airport. Naturally, the Spice Girls were there for a photo op. But a lot of people were in for a surprise when Emma ‘Baby Spice’ Bunton came out to join the rest of the girls on crutches. What happened to the baby? She got a booboo? Let’s just hope that her injury’s not too serious and wouldn’t impede her performance in any of their reunion tour dates. It’s a good thing she gets plenty of rest between shows.

The Spice Girls are getting ready to kick off a 17 night run in London this weekend. Wow!

Kylie Minogue is Nobel

When I hear the words Nobel Peace Prize Awards, I immediately envision a bunch of suits barely getting through a very boring and stuffy night. But that apparently isn’t the case when it comes to the Nobel Peace Prize. It can actually be quite the opposite.

On Tuesday evening, the hotness that can only be called Kylie Minogue gave the Nobel Peace concert spectacular in Oslo, Norway a jolt of electricity when she gave a very high-voltage performance. Well, that’s what usually happens when you put a hot girl with some hot songs and hot moves on any stage for a performance.

Mr. Beck Sports Armani

All I can say to this story is yum, yum, yum. I think I have just converted to being a soccer fan.

David Beckham, the better half of the Becks, is really going out of his way to show how, umm, HUGE of a star he is. He’s taken some time off the field to model for Armani’s underwear ad campaign.

The ads are–popping up–in black and white and are, for lack of a better word, amazing. I’m ready to shell out some cash for underwear, pictures, a night with Beck, whatever they’re selling.

Mmm, mmm, good.

Wino’s Mom Calls for Help

If you say Amy Winehouse is a hot mess, chances are that everyone around you would agree. And no one knows this fact better than her own mother. Mother knows best after all.

In an open letter which was published in the UK’s News of the World, Janis Winehouse pleaded for her daughter to get help. In the letter, Janis writes “You are still my baby and you always will be. I pile hope upon hope that you will make that decision, Amy, and your strong will can bend for just a moment to make that decision and come home to me… Early fame has overwhelmed you, it’s dizzied you and muddled your mind… remember you’re just an ordinary human being, no stronger than any of the rest of us. You think you’re strong enough to get through this on your own, darling, but you’re not.”

Britney’s Petty Theft

It appears that her spree of bad decisions isn’t over yet. Apparently she wasn’t a bad enough role model for her boys. I guess her album’s doing so poorly that she has to steal just to get by.

According to the owner of a Sherman Oaks, California, Chevron gas station, Britney stole a lighter from the store on Friday night.

Britney stopped at the store and bought a pack of gum. On her way out of the store, she picked up a blue lighter. A photographer who was in the area reminded her that she “forgot” to pay for it, and she “sarcastically responded, ‘I stole something. Oh, I’m bad!’”

What the crap? How much does a lighter cost?

Jatinder Kaur, the owner of the Chevron, had this to say, “Yes, Britney stole a blue lighter here last night. The lighter is $1.39. I’m hoping maybe the next time she comes back she will pay for it. I know she can afford to pay for it, but I’m not planning to file a police report. It’s still not right for her to steal the lighter. I hope she will do the right thing the next time she comes here.”

Keira Knightley Nude?

Keira Knightley and Ellen talked extensively about Keira’s many nude photo shoots. Keira readily admitted that she was well on her way to total nudism.

Umm, ok, maybe this isn’t meant to be strictly commentary, but I for one don’t want to see her nude. I mean, look at the chick. Her body fat percentage is like -10%. You can see her bones, and I can’t imagine seeing her completely naked.

Nonetheless, I have to give her props for having the balls to do it. I mean, I wouldn’t dare strip of the clothes and let anyone take my photog. Keira, just eat some dinner before you pose – you need some meat on those bones, honey.

Child Welfare FINALLY Checks On Britney

It’s been long overdue, if you ask me. But court documents released on Tuesday state that child welfare services are actually investigating Britney Spears for “multiple child abuse and neglect” allegations.

This information was included in a request from the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services. They requested that the court unseal some of the documents regarding Britney, Kevin Federline, and their two sons, two-year-old Sean Preston and one-year-old Jayden James.

No specific allegations are mentioned, but family services agents did not request an alteration of the custody agreement at this time. Federline currently has custody of the boys because Britney fafiled to follow through with a court order for regular drug testing. She does, however, have supervised visits with the children.

Maybe this investigation will wake her up to the reality of the situation. Maybe she’ll start to put her children first and herself second. Maybe….

Slope Happy – Tom Cruise

They are the most envied power couple in Hollywood at the moment. Well come on, who doesn’t envy them? The boys wish they were Tom Cruise so they could be married to Katie, and the girls wish they were Katie Holmes so they could be married to Tom. Even if they are into that weird silent birthing thing.

So it is lovely to see that at least some celebrity couples seem to be genuinely happy and content, as we see the pair frolicing the Italian Alps this weekend. Don’t panic onlookers, I don’t think broken legs due to skiing accidents are likely – the pair were seen riding a snowmobile and were all smiles. In between lunching with people like Georgio Armani of course.

Is there anyone famous this pair doesn’t know? Good for them anyway.

Lily Allen Flaunts It

Lily Allen needs to make up her mind. She once said in an interview that the reason she started exercising to lose weight was because of a heart murmur but in the cover article of British GQ, she’s saying otherwise.

Lily is well known for publicly attacking every celebrity and she says “A lot of that stuff I said was because I didn’t feel confident. I felt like, ‘Oh God, I’m short, fat, ugly…and I hate all these people who flaunt their beauty.’ Ever since a kid I’ve felt like I’m possibly the uncoolest, naffest person ever to walk the earth. But I feel great at the moment. I actually don’t have one bad thing to say about anything.”

So did she lose weight for her health or did she lose it because she was insecure?

J-Lo Blooming

Ok it has to be a celebrity thing. I myself am currently seven months pregnant and despite the fact everyone says you “bloom” and “look beautiful”; the best way I can describe the way you feel is whale like. But recently we have seen naked celebs on the front of magazines showing of their perfect bodes with their perfect baby bumps. It’s enough to make a normal woman like me a) mightily jealous and b) a little bit sick.

But you can’t deny beauty when you see it. After keeping her pregnancy a supposed secret (well let’s face it we all knew for ages didn’t we?); Jennifer Lopez was snapped at a recent LA film event, proudly showing off her baby bump. And you’ve guessed it; she looked fabulous.

J-Lo has been reluctant to volunteer details such as the sex of the baby or when he or she is due; but she and husband Marc Anthony looked very happy together as Marc gave her substantially swollen belly a loving pat in front of the photographers. She looked happy, elegant and motherly. Good for her.
