Fergie says she gets her “fire” from her Latin ancestry.
The Black Eyed Peas singer believes she inherited the passionate side of her character from her Mexican grandmother.
She said: “Yes, I have Mexican in my ancestry. My Dad’s grandmother was born in Guanajuato. I’m very proud of it - that’s probably where I get my fire! I love going to Mexico. Cabo San Lucas is my spot. I love to hang out by the pool, go fishing, shop for furniture, and I’ve taken painting classes over there. It’s beautiful.”
However, the 33-year-old singer admits she doesn’t like to put too much emphasises on her Latin roots. She added: “I don’t go around claiming it big time because there are many more full-bred Latinas that are out there to represent.”
Meanwhile, Fergie has revealed she is keen to start a family with fiance Josh Duhamel, and is planning to ask fellow pop star Gwen Stefani for parenting guidance.
She said: “I’d like to ask Gwen some advice about being a mom, because she’s done a really great job.” Gwen has a 22-month-old son, Kingston, with husband Gavin Rossdale, and is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child.
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.
Pop queen Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have been living separate lives as their marriage hits the rocks, pals revealed yesterday. The troubled couple have even divided their homes into his and hers quarters – so they avoid each other, it was claimed.
They have shocked friends by spending months behaving as flatmates “who pass in the night” rather than husband and wife. Sources say the pair have both privately confessed that they do not think their seven-year marriage will survive much longer.
In January film director Guy, 39, furnished a wing of their new home in London’s Marylebone for his private use while Madonna, 49, took another quarter for herself.
A close pal said yesterday the couple tried to “reclaim the magic” with a romantic dinner – but immediately went back to living “like brother and sister”.
The pal said: “The marriage is hanging by a thread. No one doubts they adore their three kids – but the children seem to be the only reason they are living this strange loveless existence.”
Rumours about the couple’s problems have intensified in recent weeks.
It was claimed last night Madonna felt “badly let down” that Guy had not supported her at several high-profile public appearances. The source said: “There were rows after Guy didn’t turn up at Madonna’s Raising Malawi fundraiser at the UN HQ in New York last month. The event was incredibly important to her. Guy also wasn’t present at his wife’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame dinner last week.”
Fergie opens up about her battles with drug addiction and how it inspired her to help people with HIV in the April 2008 issue of Marie Claire. She talked about her gritty history, speaking of her childhood career and how it crystal meth entered her life. She then talks about the changes in her behavior because of her drug dependency and her subsequent downward spiral. Looking at where she is right now, you’d never know that all of that went on in her life. She’s really come a long way and she’s helping others with all her success. Kudos to you Fergie!
Sure, the whole ordeal has been a nightmare. Now, it has been reported that Sean Preston, Britney spears’ two year old son has been having nightmares and has been sleeping with father Kevin Federline.
Insiders also say that he cried for his father when he was first allowed to see mother Britney again. “Jamie told Kevin that Britney handled the visit well. She actually did cry but that was only because Sean cried when she took them from Kevin.”
Britney is being allowed visits as long as they are observed by a therapist or her father Jamie Spears.
It looks like Britney Spears is up to her old tricks by making crazy requests of LA shopkeepers. Gatecrasher is reporting that Britney walked into a Betsey Johnson boutique on Melrose Ave. in LA and wanted them to copy a Dolce & Gabbana dress – than very day and in all white. When they explained to the pop wreck that they couldn’t do it, Britney decided to take a wig instead – a yellow one on a window mannequin for $100.
In other Britney news, her mother Lynne is reportedly singing praises of her ex-husband Jamie, telling people that he’s “stepped up to the plate”. He’s certainly doing better than you have!
Spice Girl Victoria Beckham stands only at 5’6” tall so if you wanted to take her home in bag (though I’m not quite sure why), you can. After all of these years, someone finally figured that out.
Posh’s legs are featured in the new Spring 08 campaign for Marc Jacobs and it is hilarious. I’m not sure if this is supposed to be fashionable or just make Posh look like a huge joke. It’s much like the Marc Jacobs reverse heels that she’s wearing. Honestly, who would wear that? Victoria and Parker Posey can be your answers but I don’t really see that being a fashion trend.
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?
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.
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”
It’s only been three years since rapper 50 Cent bought a 48,000 square foot mansion belong to Mike Tyson. Back then, the place was decorated in turquoise and purple and, in 50’s own words, “It kind of had a ‘Miami Vice’ feel.”It didn’t take long, though, for 50 to put his mark on the home. The enormous 19-bedroom home, located in Farmington, Connecticut, has a nightclub complete with a swing hanging from the ceiling.
On Thursday, 50 will invite viewers to tour his home on a special edition of MTV’s “Cribs”. This invitation comes just before he moves out of the home, which he’s selling for $18.5 Million.
50 originally bought the home because of the space it would provide. He and his G-Unit cronies could record there. Some of the other rappers he works with, such as Tony Yayo, have their own rooms, and 50 himself records in his basement.
So, why’s he selling? He says he is tired of the more than two hour commute to New York City, and he’s in the market to downsize. When asked about a future home purchase, he said, “It might be a lot smaller. The basics - maybe four or five bedrooms.”
Better get your look on while you have the chance - the next owner might not invite us in.
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.
Mexican actress Salma Hayek was so upset by childhood jokes about her flat-chest, she would pray to God for larger breasts. The Ugly Betty star reveals she was bullied for having small breasts as a youngster - and decided to turn to her Catholic religion for help. By praying to God she means praying to plastic surgeons, right? Umm isn’t she naturally “thick” which means she’ll have bigger boobs anyways? Duh. You gain weight your boobs grow. Good thing she wasted a prayer on bigger boobs, what an idiot. Should’ve prayed for brains! lol. What a lire, I have seen her pictures from years ago and they were size be if I have figured it out well. I am quite sure that she has had a boob job done on her breast though I am not sure when. But I certainly can recall her saying that she at some point in time she did a few years ago and probably 3 years ago, right. That’s at some point of time when she broke up with Edward Nothon. SHE THINKS WE ARE STUPID OR SOMTHING AND WON’T REMMBER, EVEN THAT YOU CAN TELL THEY ARE NOT REAL.
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.
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.
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!
Elizabeth Hurley is keeping her son Damian in Britain against his will - the five year old is desperate to move to India. The tot has fallen in love with his stepfather Arun Nayar’s homeland and regularly begs his mother to let him grow up there. I think he caught the India bug when his mom was there for her wedding reception with new beau Arun and they stayed at some of the most exotic locales in old Maharaja palaces but I am sure he hasn’t seen anything beyond that and please do not get me wrong despite the progress that country might be making it’s still very dusty and unclean out there in the cities. I think he just got fascinated by the huge 16th—17th century palace and the aura of the majestic ambience of the royalty that still exist. Hurley is right there just not good enough things to do in India, he can go over for a week but he going to miss the party and fun scene in the west.
A ray of sunshine just shone on Britney Spears. But maybe we should make that two rays of sunshine. Britney’s mom and youngest sister, Lynne and 16-year old Jamie Lynn, were spotted arriving at LAX airport on Friday. They were reportedly en route to have a reunion with the estranged pop star.
A source told People that “Brit really needed her mom. So Lynne flew out and they met.” A few months back, Britney gave her mom a letter which asked that the grandma stay away from her kids. But now, she’s reached out in a positive way because of recent happenings in her life.
Let’s hope the rest of the Spears clan can do something to help Brit.
Comedienne Whoopi Goldberg has denied slamming President George W. Bush at a Democratic fundraising event in 2004 - insisting rumors are a conspiracy to tarnish her name. The people who should be slammed are the ones who praise the job Bush has done. Who can deny that he has torn this country apart, gotten us into an unjust war over weapons that weren’t there, ruined our reputation abroad, and is piling up debt for our grandchildren? To compare him to a part of a woman’s anatomy is an insult to a woman’s anatomy. You go Whoopi. So what if she trash Bush plenty of famous people trash Bush. That should not affect her career. People are crazy. You should be able to have your own opinion. In the first place we are the ones who have elected him not once but twice so now if we are paying the price it is because it was are decision. It also makes clear that there are bad leadership qualities in our leaders today and we are the ones who are allowing them to get away with their bad work.
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.
Dylan McDermott and his wife of nearly 12 years, actress Shiva Rose, have separated, his rep tells
McDermott, 45, and Rose, 38, have been married since 1995 and have two daughters, 11-year-old Collette and 2-year-old Charlotte.
In a 2001 interview with Diane Sawyer, McDermott says he saw Shiva in a coffee shop and was instantly smitten. “I was in love with her right away,” he said. “For her, it was a little longer, you know, a couple of years. But for me, it was right away. I guess it was grace.”
McDermott, who played defense attorney Bobby Donnell on The Practice, is back on primetime in the new ABC drama Big Shots alongside Michael Vartan, Joshua Molina and Christopher Titus.
Rose recently starred in the romantic comedy David and Layla opposite David Moscow.
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.
Angelina Jolie once took powerful drug LSD before a trip to children’s paradise Disneyland. The star admits taking the hallucinogenic drug before a trip to the tourist attraction in California. Going to a fun place like Disneyland and that too with powerful drugs shows that this country is filled with bad things and bad people who cannot enjoy the beautiful things without getting high. Isn’t Disney meant to be a fun place where you take the kids and the whole family to have fun and enjoy, but Jolie gives us the feeling that America and it’s people just do not know the meaning of entertainment at all. She says, “I remember taking LSD before I went to Disneyland.” She has also admitted to taking coke, heroin, ecstasy, LSD, everything. This way she gives me the jitters as to what may be the condition of all the young stars that are being introduced to drugs in America and how easily they fall prey to these drugs, I think Hollywood is marooned in this matter.
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!!!
Singer/actress/designer Beyonce and her former Destiny’s Child band mate Kelly Rowland can not add one more slash to their resume, and the word is landlord!
They may no longer be singing together but that doesn’t mean they can’t work together as the two have reunited to open an apartment building for at risk populations in Houston. Wow.
It’s going to be called the ‘Knowles-Rowland Temenos Place Apartments’. It’s going to be a 43 unit, single room occupancy housing facility for both men and women who are taking steps to improve their lives after traumatic events of both natural and personal disasters.
They should save a spot for Britney.
