It’s been eight years since we’ve been forced to, I mean blessed to, see the face of Kathie Lee Gifford. It was back in 2000 that she left Live! with Regis Philbin.
Now, she’s hanging around Today with Matt Lauer. He made the announcement that Monday, April 7, will be her first day as a regular in the show’s 10 o’clock hour.
Geez, I thought we’d never get to see her Carnival face again.
RnB star Beyoncé Knowles has landed the role of famed blues singer Etta James in new movie Cadillac Records. It is reported that the Dreamgirls actress will join Adrien Brody, Jeffery Wright, and Cedric the Entertainer in the 1950s-set film.
Wow they are some big boots to fill. Beyoncé will have her work cut out to not upset the Etta James fans of the world. But we believe in her – you can do it girl!
Oscar-winning Brody has replaced actor Matt Dillon in the role of Leonard Chess, the founder of legendary blues label Chess Records, after scheduling conflicts forced him to pull out of the project. Filming is due to take place later this year in New Jersey and Mississippi
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.
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.
With Roberto Cavalli being the designer of the Spice Girls’ costumes for their upcoming reunion tour, we can all expect some very sexy and glamorous outfits gracing the bodies of the ladies.Roberto tells OK! magazine about how he came to be the designer for the tour saying “I have known Victoria Beckham for a long time and I have always admired her style and personality. When we talked about the worldwide tour The Return of the Spice Girls, she put forward the idea of me creating all their costumes to which I immediately agreed. When I met them, I immediately understood the reason why the world went crazy for their unique brand of girl power as they are an irresistible mix of energy, pure joy, humor and a spicy dash of glamour. I’m sure their strength will take us by storm again”
If you are one of the many who is a little disturbed by Lance Armstrong’s supposed relationship with Baby Michelle (a.k.a. Ashley Olsen), read on because you just may feel a little bit better.
Apparently Lance doesn’t exactly like the new image he’s gotten - you know, as a cradle robber. So, he’s found a new woman to make out with, I mean hook up with.
Sources have found him getting awfully cozy with an unknown blonde when he attended the Nascar Nextel Cup Series Party at Club Marquee. She looks a little older than Ashley, a little more his type. She is petite, but not in a bones-sticking-out sort of way.
Seems ole Lance is trying to make up for lost time by making out with woman after woman. Ladies, if you’re in the New York area and are looking for love, look for Lance.
Well, if you were just dying to see a rerun of that 1992 episode of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” - you know, the one with Tom Hanks - you’re in luck.
It seems as if NBC has dug into the vault and is going to run “vintage” episodes of the show for at least another week. This is the result of the still unsettled writers’ strike. The Writers Guild of America and studio negotiators are continuing to try and work out a deal.
NBC’s plan is to show the the initial “Tonight Show” appearances for some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. In addition to the Hanks episode, we can also see Julia Roberts’ 1993 appearance, Jennifer Anniston and Johnny Depp from 1995, and Matt Damon’s 2000 show.
It appears that they are running out of recent episodes to replay because the strike is continuing on. Producers of the show have been trying to find a creative way of maintaining the show and decided to make use of their archives.
Hopefully enough readers will get this memo and realize these are repeats. If not, and if the big hair doesn’t give it away, Julia Roberts fans may be headed to the local theaters for the opening night of Mystic Pizza.
Pre-teen fans are anxiously awaiting Billy Ray Cyrus’ upcoming film with daughter Miley. The Disney Channel stars are working out the details for the filming of their Hannah Montana movie. Cyrus is hoping filming will take place in their home state of Tennessee.
The movie is based on the duos popular Disney Channel series where Miley plays Miley Stewart, a young girl who moves from Tennessee to Malibu to live out the dream as a pop star. By day, she is simply Miley, a high school student who gets in her share of normal teenage scrapes. In the evening hours, she secretly performs as Hannah Montana, a popular musical performer.
In the proposed movie version, the Stewarts make a return visit to Tennessee. Billy Ray feels strongly that it should be filmed there as well.
Billy Ray reportedly told the Associated Press, “The thing of it is, Walt Disney really wants to film this movie in Tennessee.” The problem is that there may not be enough financial backing coming from state officials. It isn’t that officials don’t want the film, though. The executive director of the Tennessee Film, Entertainment, and Music Commission is quoted as saying, “It would mean a real impact on tourism and it would be a family friendly film that would come to the state.”
Louisiana is competing for the filming privileges. Tennessee officials are anxious to make their offer and see how it compares to that of Louisiana.
The Cyrus’ spent Thanksgiving in Tennessee with family and celebrated Miley’s 15th birthday with a sold-out concert show in Nashville. They are looking forward to the possibility of returning in April to shoot the film.
Can you blame the guy? I mean, after all, who doesn’t want to work from home?
Lord knows why, but Amy Winehouse is completely lovesick despite having not much reason to be. The singer’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil is currently in jail for attempting to tamper with a case but Amy can’t get her mind off him even as she’s on a tour of the UK.
At a concert in Glasgow this past weekend, the troubled singer revealed how she plans to commemorate their upcoming six month anniversary. “I’m going to send him a bouquet of flowers. And I want everyone here to send Blake a red rose.”
If you’re one of the few who care, work in the flower business or you just want a good laugh, do send a rose to the Pentonville Prison in London.
All you die-hard Britney Spears listen up! Don’t miss out on your chance to get a one of a kind autographed copy of her album ‘Blackout.’ Britney is auctioning off the album on EBay and 100% of the proceeds go to UNICEF. There are many other artists out there who have sold more than Britney such as Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder-who both sold over 100 million records. Elvis is another. Tons and tons more. People who are in her same age group-Beyonce for one has sold over 100 Million records and she’s the same age as Britney, and they started out around the same time. Christina Aguilera has sold over 30 million records and to be “less famous” as Britney, that says a lot. SO you bragging that Brit has sold over 50 Million records aren’t as big of a brag as you claim it to be.
Actress Kim Cattrall only agreed to reprise her role as sassy Samantha in the new Sex And The City Movie if she received a substantial wage - because she was desperate for the money. Wow, Hollywood is ready getting on my nerves. For heavens sake, she’s an actress and has a lot of publicity and promotions to associate her persona with. I hope the movie turns out really fun and exciting, and may she get the highest pay. Kim broke a lot of trends and rules on Mainstream TV. She’s a total risk taker, divine and unique. Plus, she’s done alot of modeling from time to time. Attention to all movie executives “STOP TAKING ADVANTAGE HER”. More over I am certainly one of those who thinks that women should receive equal pay as what their male counter parts receive as salary for doing big budget movies.
Keanu Reeves fights, and sometimes talks, in slow motion. It doesn’t look as if he drives that way, though. The paparazzo who was reportedly knocked down by The Matrix star’s Porsche in March, presumably while he was trying to get a shot of the actor as he pulled out of a parking space, sued Reeves for negligence on Monday. I second what all above said yes the actors/actresses know the business but we as a society have to realize they are human as well, make mistakes, if we would just all remember that the news of one of them messing up wouldn’t be such a big surprise …they are not held with higher esteem then us..geez people. The other thing is that why are we always targeting the celebrities, why does it always have to be a pap involved. They are the ones who are chasing the celebs and they more often than not over do their work. Instead of clicking their pics and making way from the celebs to go they wanna peep inside their cars and look what happening in there. There is bound to be some mishaps.
Actor Orlando Bloom feels “lucky” to be alive after escaping a car crash in Los Angeles unscathed. The Kingdom of Heaven star was driving through the city when he crashed into a stationary car during a chase with photographers last month. I think they were very lucky to escape without any serious injury. It could have been the second Lady Di accident and with more serious injury. You just wonder why they can’t be left alone. Why do everybody has to chase celebrities like they do. Orlando or any of the other celebrities are not leaving LA in a hurry anytime soon there are going to be many opportunities everyday to click a photo of these maniacs and so they should be patient and not risk theirs and other lives just to have a picture of their pursuant. Well hopefully no one gets hurt like this cause someday some of them could be in jail ruing the fact that the celebrity they were pursuing wasn’t worth the jail sentence they would be facing.
Paul McCartney has held crisis talks with estranged wife Heather Mills at his English home in an attempt to put an end to the drama surrounding their divorce. Has anyone even thought that just maybe Paul is seeing her taking a long walk off a short cliff and is trying to help her much the same way he tried to help Lennon in 1968, 1969? That he loves Beatrice more than he wants to see her mother continue down this path of self destruction? Yes, he has a good case for being the primary custodian but he also knows how much his grown children miss their mother and the loss of his own mother at 14. Heather may have gone off the deep end but he realizes she is STILL Beas’ mother and a 4 year old doesn’t know the difference between a mother who has lost it and one who is reasonable. She only knows that’s her mother.
Hey guys who ever has been following them and peeping into their private lives is a jerk because most probably he would be the same person who has posted the story that Owen is also trying to get back with Kate Hudson. So like is he trying them both out and falls into that silky laps either of the two who ever gives him the much needed love he eagerly awaits or is this the complete fantasy of some jerk who is trying to make a nice gossip story for us to read. Just the other day I read that Kate and Owen have been hanging out and sending emails and texts to each other in what would be a attempt to rekindle their broken love saga that almost ended Owen life. And what ever he is up to what the hell do we derive from his meeting Jessica or Kate. Don’t you dare break his heart, Jessica? That man’s been through a lot. What he needs right now is someone to make him appreciate the good things in life. Why, yes, your breasts would be one of those good things. I mean, I wasn’t going to bring them up unless you did. Your dad does it all the time?
Just another Hollywood ass whore not thinking of her kids, just thinking of how she gonna get his cock in her ass without making him think of her as the anal slut that she is. Now go explain to your kids that u left their real daddy only because he had a pecker dick and couldn’t satisfy her and now she has moved on the broke back penis dick. Great role model u Hollywood whore! These words are the real things that Hollywood girls are interested in today and make no two ways about it, yeah in between their artificial life they do manage to take time of and do some movies to finance their lifestyle and the media write about them, so they remain in the mainstream of things we love – movies after all. For them its an on going process that they have willfully left themselves to, men and women keeping walking in and then walking out of lives for reasons they will never be able to figure out till some grey hair take over and some sanity is there to believe in.
I thought he was hotter when his scantiness seemed to come naturally — hot in a kind of greasy, bad-boy, mumbling-idiot-who-does-cool-tricks-on-the-street kind of way. But this three-tone-highlighty, Posh haircutty, chest-stubbly look? Um, no way. And that look in his eyes is like he’s trying to be hot but comes off like a deranged idiot. And if he’s gonna go all glamazon, he should do something about those nasty circles under his eyes. If Criss Angel were a real man, he would’ve tackled Britney after the first half-drunk dance step. But he was probably too busy changing his wardrobe for the fifth time. It takes a lot of work to look like a douchebag who spent his life-savings at Hot Topic. Plus Criss also has to decide whether to wear his monogrammed baseball hat or show off his highlights. Which is understandable? You don’t want to look too retarded all at once. You need to spread the douche-iness out over the course of a day.
Spice Girls star Victoria Beckham was upset to be accused of hijacking the Princess Diana inquest - because she was a big fan of the late British royal. You know that if she were a down town pretty girl trying to copy Diana’s style I would have given her a 10/10 for choosing Diana as her icon and the person she’s like to look like but a fashion freak like Victoria Beckham trying to take a leaf out of Diana’s dressing sense puts you in doubt weather she has her own she own sense that what she would like to present herself as and she has her own fashion line. She would be more believable if she was not forever striving to bet her picture in the media……she is a very poor advert for “girl power” Victoria Beckham is truly a wana be. She should take a look at her miserable life and get on with it. She has tried several times to re invent herself; it is now time to give up.
Dax Sheppard is hot! He is funny too, just not too well known yet. Don’t bag on the guy because Kate Hudson supposedly dumped him. Hey may not even care. And I think he is WAY better looking than Owen Wilson, although I have nothing against Owen. Kate got married too young and she should date around. That does not make her a whore, she is very discreet and you don’t see pictures of her with her bits hanging out (ala Paris and Britney). At least Kate has class. And I think small boobs are nice. I am big-chested and wished my whole life to have the small ones so I could go braless. That must be an incredible feeling! Anyway, check Dax out in “Let’s Go To Prison”!! It’s hilarious and I can relate. I am a correctional officer! Peace out!
People and fans were surprised to see him, which is ridiculous. There should be no surprise at all there should be happiness expressed to see him looking and smiling after so many days. People have this knack of cribbing over past things which would be best if forgotten after a few days of media frenzy. His suicide attempt took place in August and it is now October 6, so this suicide thing should be way out of our minds now and we should be happy to see him attend parties and lead a normal life. I think we kind remember such incident more and then keep talking about these things which inturn doesn’t let the victim forget what happened. We shout, speak and gossip and that poor chap is left to feel the burden of our useless talks, he think we are genuinely concerned where as the fact remains we just want make fun till we like and then to hell with what ever happened. For now though just leave him in peace and enjoy the release of his latest movie and tell the good reviews follow in.
I totally agree with Courtney Love. Everybody is focused on what Britney is doing wrong. these certain people need to start thinking about who the real Britney spears is….Britney spears is still a very talented, beautiful, hot pop-princess who needs the right support and understanding at this point in her life. Britney is only human and will recover and people need to start realizing that Britney needs positive support and it was not too long ago when Britney was is and will always be a superstar will all the prefix, suffix, adjective and all the good tenses that can be used to describe a beauty like her, she is awesome, hot performer who people played all kinds of money to see in concert. There will never be another Britney spears. I as a sincere fan of hers will always believe in her and I have faith that she will pull through this bad period in her life…..Britney will prevail….For you all who think is finished, just go a lead her life in her shoes for one damn day and if not then just shut up and find the toilet paper in the wash room.
I have a different point from what some people have. I’m sorry that the idea of marriage, the idea of making a committment to another human being in front of GOD is so offensive to people. You know why people get divorced? Because Americans are selfish fucks, too self-absorbed and self-important to surrender to another human being. And while people put the shit on marriage when they are young, there are so many older Americans who are loney and afraid (especially women) who have no one to care for them in their later years. If anyone actually read my post, you’d see my disgust with the immoral behavoir of Hollywood types that is promoted and exploited, but a poor woman would not be given the same “praise”. Halle’s career is pretty much stalled right now. A baby is something for her to do.
Rush Hour put Jackie Chan in Hollywood’s major leagues, but the Hong Kong star isn’t a fan of his successful action comedy franchise. luv rush hour, 3 wasn’t as good as the first 2 but still good. But that’s also very strange, the movie that has helped him establish himself as a bankable Hollywood actor does not have a place in his own list of favorite movies. Most other Hollywood actors would say the absolute opposite of what Jackie has said, they would go on and on and on praising their successful movies and tell us stories about behind the scenes fun on the sets and off the sets. I think Jackie Chan is one of those actors whose personality is not to praise himself and tell others about his achievements and tell tall stories to make some press news that’s liked and talked about in the circles. He is so agile and entertaining in his actions scenes that he could go on forever and his movie would still be entertaining.
Supermodel Kate Moss has proved she is over her break up with British rocker Pete Doherty - by telling friends she is engaged to her new partner. Moss’ has recently been dating The Kills’ guitarist Jamie Hince after she finished with Doherty over allegations he cheated on the British beauty. I like Pete Doherty. I was really hoping they would have got back together. It looks as though he is serious about getting clean this time too. I read so many negative comments about him and I thought those people posting them know anything about him really…other than he has a drug problem and is in a band. He is a very talented man. I’m rooting for him. I believe in him. And just a couple of days ago there was some very positive news about him and he himself said that he was now clear of drugs and he and his father where talking again now and were on good terms. I think Kate has made a decision in haste.
Hollywood star George Clooney is so in love with the movie industry he is happy to work for free. The 46-year-old actor is determined not to let money get in the way of the projects he chooses to take on, so he is content to take a cut of the profit. Tell you what, this is one of the smartest comments I have heard come out of a Hollywood celebrity in recent months. He poses as if he doesn’t want a single cent from the producers and will work for free, he will only have a 10-15% share in the profits and if the movie becomes multi million dollar grosser then he will be the one laughing his way to the bank.Ha Ha if the movie your in is very good have big payday make 500 million around the world you maybe say get 10 per cent I think you would get at least that nice round cool 50 million for you to put right in your X@@##! hole bank.
Rosie O’Donnell has turned down the chance to appear on Oprah Winfrey’s show to promote her new autobiography. The actress-turned-TV personality, who is currently promoting her memoirs Celebrity Detox, will snub a slot on The Oprah Winfrey Show for an interview with ABC anchor Diane Sawyer. Rosie won’t do any show where someone is more famous of more successful than her. If she isn’t the star she quits! I used to love her. But she is only screaming for more and more attention. She knows she could never compete with Oprah so she isn’t doing the show. VERY WRONG MOVE Ro! Fame can be a really bad thing once it makes home in your head, when you are not famous and a celebrity you would fall at your feet to be interviewed by Oprah but when you are a celebrity who is a TV personality then you won’t like to go to someone else’s show and be interviewed there, funny business and funny snobbish acts.
Aretha Franklin is such a huge piece of music history that she should definitely get a movie. A TV movie, on the other hand, seems a little crappy. I mean, think of the people that get major motion pictures?! Why wouldn’t they give Aretha Franklin a real movie? They can make movie on Catwoman, and some other really awful character and incident, but none of these guys/producers are willing to give a great legend a shot at big commercial movie. Now the funny part is that she wants a pencil thin actress like Halle Berry to play her. Currently even Halle cannot give her nod to play in her movie coz she is pregnant and has a growing bump. Why not that Jennifer Hudson play the part of Aretha, at least Jennifer could get close to being something like Aretha. Jennifer Hudson probably wouldn’t do it because she’s an Oscar winner and probably thinks she’s too good now, huh? But she’d be good for the role. Don’t you think?
Will Ferrell is auctioning a cameo spot in his new movie to raise money for a fraternity brother’s cancer foundation.
Ferrell came up with the idea to help Craig Pollard’s Cancer for College foundation. The two were fraternity brothers at the University of Southern California.
Online bidding will begin Monday and close Sept. 26. Ferrell will announce the winner on Sept. 27, and that person will meet the actor the next day at the 14th annual Cancer for College golf tournament dinner at Temecula Creek Inn.
The opening bid for the movie appearance is $5,000.
In October, the winner will join Ferrell on set of his new movie, “Step Brothers,” and appear in a scene.
“What a perfect Christmas present for your son or daughter,” Ferrell said. “It is the surefire way to win the parent of the year award. Support this amazing cause, by buying them me.”
Pollard, a two-time survivor of Hodgkin’s disease, started Cancer for College to provide college scholarships to current and former cancer patients. The charity has awarded $200,000 to 50 cancer survivors since 1993.
James Bond’s Casino Royale has topped the UK’s first “culture chart”, bringing together sales of DVDs, books, CDs and computer games in one rundown. The Casino Royale DVD sold 2.3 million copies in the first half of 2007, ahead of The Queen DVD in second place. James Bond is by far the best selling movies of all times, even if the recent reports that the movies of Harry Potter have sold more it ticket sales and out placed James Bond from the number one slot of all time box office sales, one thing that the people who have made this report would not have taken into consideration is that the first Harry Potter movie was released after 2000 and James Bond – the character and the movies series has being there for more than 40 years. To remain such an iconic movie for such a long duration and to be accepted to a wide generation of cinema goers is what gives the edge to James Bond in my opinion.
Perhaps Vanessa Hudgens figures her fans have seen enough of her for a while.
E! News confirmed Thursday that the scandal-tinged High School Musical starlet has canceled her appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, whose green room she would currently be cooling her heels (or biting her nails) in if all had gone according to plan. She should do the interview. Jay Leno will give her a soft interview and will treat her like a daughter. Leno will not beat her up, and will treat her with respect…where as, if she does a pre-tapped interview with a so-called news organization, they will cut and splice the interview and make things seem very sexual and erotic…if not downright pornographic. And you can bet, the interview will start out friendly, just so they can get enough footage of a cooperative Vanessa…after that, they’ll hit her with hard mean spirited questions and cut together an interview designed to trash Vanessa, Disney and Highschool: The Musical. That’s when they’ll compare Vanessa to Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney, insisting that she has lost her way, like them and make her look like a druggie and drunk…thus, a regular Hollywood bad girl like the rest! No, Vanessa…do Jay Leno’s Show, Larry King, and Letterman…they will treat you with respect and like a daughter, trust me on this one!!!
