Clive Davis Irks Kelly Clarkson

Yesterday, I blogged about Clive Davis coming out of the closet at bisexual at the ripe old age of 80.  He has actually been bisexual for years, just didn’t let the public know until he revealed it in his recent memoir, “The Soundtrack of My Life.” It seems that he revealed something else in the memoir – something incorrect according to client Kelly Clarkson. In the book, Davis said Clarkson has “a decidedly independent streak” (Hello?  Her first single was  “Miss Independent”) and “often speaks in public before she realizes the implications of what she’s saying.” He also said Clarkson … Continue reading

Ashley Judd Splits and Rihanna Comes Clean

Ashley Judd seemed like the dutiful race car wife when husband Dario Franchitti won his third Indianapolis 500 in May 2012, but it seems that all wasn’t well with the relationship.  Less than a year later, the couple has announced their split. Judd released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, which read, “We have mutually decided to end our marriage.  We’ll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed. Judd, 44, and Franchitti, 39, met in 1999 at Jason Priestley’s wedding through mutual friends who hoped to set … Continue reading

Manti Te’o and the Girlfriend that Wasn’t – Part 1

Oh, as if my Notre Dame Fighting Irish haven’t suffered enough indignities due to their National Championship romp by the Crimson Tide, now a scandal has surfaced involving one of it’s most popular football players. Manti Te’o, in case you don’t know, was the Irish star linebacker.  A senior, he was nominated for the Heisman Trophy (he lost to Johnny Football) and no doubt coming off an undefeated season, was looking forward to all the NFL had to offer. Then, the bruising at the championship.  As if that weren’t enough, Te’o is now the center of a hoax scandal.  Through … Continue reading

Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy Split

Taylor Swift and her most recent boyfriend, Conor Kennedy, have reportedly parted ways. It seemed this summer, 22-year-old Swift and 18-year-old Kennedy (son of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.) were all over the eastern coast, evoking memories of a young John and Jackie Kennedy. Despite the fact that the mega superstar singer was gearing up for her new album release and he was gearing up for his senior year in high school, the beautiful couple seemed to define teenage summer love. They were holding hands at a pizza restaurant, kissing in public, and in a most Kennedy-like way, seen on a … Continue reading

Hollywood Couples Update – October 10, 2012

Every week, Hollywood couples come and go – here are a few for this week: In what seemed like a surprising move to most, actors Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman split after 42 years together. The couple met when Devito was on Broadway in 1971 and moved in together two weeks later. But, it took Devito and Perlman a while to get married – 10 years to be exact. They have three grown children. During their marriage, the couple starred together several times. So, what could have gone wrong? Some tabloids, such as RadarOnline, are reporting sources saying Perlman was … Continue reading

This Week in Hollywood Couples

Another week, more news on Hollywood couples. This week, there were no breakups –at least none of which I can remember. This week, two-time mom Reese Witherspoon gave birth to her third child, a son named Tennessee James. Tennessee or James – whatever they are going to call him – is the first child for Witherspoon and second husband, Jim Toth. A statement was released that read in part, “Both mom and baby are healthy and the entire family is thrilled.” Witherspoon’s older two children are from her first marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe. Witherspoon and Toth, a talent agent, … Continue reading

Hollywood Couples Update

As usual, there are always couple updates in Hollywood. First up, the not-so-good. He said/she said still seems to be going on between divorcing couple Seal and Heidi Klum. In fact, Seal often seems to be at war with what he himself says. At the first of this month, Seal told a TMZ reporter that “I would have thought that Heidi would have shown a little more class and at least waited until we separated first before deciding to fornicate with the help, as it were.” The “help” he’s referring to is the couple’s bodyguard, Martin Kristen, who has been … Continue reading

Aniston Gets Engaged and Pitt Gets Married?

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston divorced nearly seven years ago and yet their names are still often tied together in the tabloids. This seems especially true lately. If you believe what you read, Brad and fiancée Angelina Jolie are always trying to rain on Aniston’s parade as far as the headlines go. Pitt and Jolie announced their engagement in April after seven years and six children together. At the time, I think the tabloids were accusing Pitt and Jolie of ruining Aniston’s possible wedding plans by upstaging her. Now, it may be Aniston that upstaging Pitt and Jolie. Rumors were … Continue reading

Recent Celebrity Splits

I learned of two celebrity splits today – well, one celebrity split and one pseudo-celebrity split. The pseudo-celebrity split was a reality couple – “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” couple Adrienne Maloof and Paul Nassif has called it quits. It was actually Nassif that filed for legal separation today. He told TMZ, “The welfare of our children is my primary focus as Adrienne and I work through this difficult time.” He added, “I want the best for her and our children and I hope that everyone can respect our privacy away from the cameras.” The couple has three sons … Continue reading

A Vampire Tragedy

I have several friends that have gotten all wrapped up in the “Twilight” series of books and movies. Team Edward and Team Jacob comments are thrown around on Facebook and many lament the end of the series with the upcoming The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, which comes out on November 16th. Now it seems as if the saga may not be the only thing ending. For what seems like years, the stars of the movie, Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson, have denied being in a relationship, despite the love between their on screen personas. Well, let me … Continue reading
