If you thought Michael Jackson was the oddball of the Jackson family, you may be reconsidering that after this week’s Jackson family drama. First, it was reported that Katherine Jackson, guardian of Michael’s children, Prince, Paris, and Blanket, was missing last Saturday night by her nephew. The reason he filed the report was that the children said they had not heard from their grandmother. Jermaine said Katherine was in Arizona resting, but Paris insisted on Twitter that Katherine was missing and she hadn’t spoken to her in a week. Jermaine said his mother was resting per doctor’s orders, that she … Continue reading →

Actors Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas met while working on the film Too Much in 1995. It may have been love at first sight, but at the time, both were married to other people. Griffith married actor Don Johnson at the young age of 19 after the two had been dating for five years. Let me do the math for you – she was 14 when she started dating 22-year-old Johnson. That marriage only lasted six months and in September 1981, Griffith married actor Steven Bauer. That reportedly drug-fueled marriage lasted two year and in 1989, Griffith and Johnson gave … Continue reading →

Poor Demi Moore has certainly seen her share of tough times lately. She went through the distressing split with ex-hubby Ashton Kutcher, then had the incident in January where she was hospitalized for reportedly having a seizure due to using “whip-its.” But, she’s been laying pretty low since getting out of rehab in March. Or is she? While she may be off the gossipmonger charts, things don’t seem quite right. At least that’s what I thought when I read that Moore attended youngest daughter Tallulah’s graduation, but left before Tallulah actually received her diploma. Now reports are that none of … Continue reading →

In my last blog, I was talking about Tom Cruise’s many exes. Yesterday, we learned that Katie Holmes will soon join that exclusive club as she filed for divorce. While Cruise was married to Nicole Kidman and dating Penelope Cruz, Holmes was busy dating actor Chris Klein. The two became engaged, but broke up in 2005. That same year, Holmes began dating Cruise. Now, I don’t know how they met, but Star Magazine reported that Cruise’s agent called Holmes publicist for a meeting between the two. How romantic is that? Just pluck your next young wife out of the phone … Continue reading →

I enjoyed a great lunch with my family today and when I got in the car to return to work, I checked CNN as I often do. I was shocked to see the headline “Katie Holmes Files for Divorce from Tom Cruise,” then I was shocked at the fact that I was shocked. It’s not like we haven’t been through this before. Cruise married his first wife, actress Mimi Rogers, in May 1987. I think Rogers was the one who introduced Cruise to Scientology…unfortunately. Sorry, I am, just not a fan of Scientology. Those two divorced in February 1990. Cruise … Continue reading →

Rumors had been swirling for months that Johnny Depp and longtime love Vanessa Paradis were on the way to Splitsville. As they often say, where there is smoke, there is fire and that seems to be the case with this romance. The couple announced this week that their fourteen-year relationship had ended. (This file is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic ) According to Depp’s publicist, the split was amicable. The statement issued yesterday asked people to “Please respect their privacy and, more importantly, the privacy of their children.” The couple began dating when Depp was in Paris … Continue reading →

How bad does a mother/daughter relationship have to be when it seems their main form of communication is Twitter? That seems to be the current state of the relationship between rocker Courtney Love and her only child, Frances Bean Cobain. Frances Bean hasn’t had an easy life. Her father, Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain, killed himself in 1994, when she was just two-years-old. For some reason, his ashes weren’t scattered until 1999, when a then seven-year-old Frances Bean scattered them into McLane Creek in Washington. Frances Bean was raised by her mother part of her life, but because of Love’s … Continue reading →

It seems to me (and forgive me if I am wrong) that most gay people believe they were born that way, that it wasn’t a choice. I mean, after all, many ask who would choose to be persecuted and discriminated against as they often are? Still, some people think it is a choice. Unlike someone who is female, African American, or physically handicapped, you can’t look at someone who is gay and know why. Some say they always felt gay, but were afraid to express it. But, there is no physical sign to the fact that they are gay and … Continue reading →

Once again, it is time to throw the celebrity marriage dice and see who comes up with snake eyes. First up this week – a surprise split. After about a week’s worth of rumors, supermodel Heidi Klum and singer Seal have announced their separation. No mention of divorce yet, but can it really be far behind? No one knows, especially since Courtney Cox and David Arquette have been separated for well over a year now. But, this cannot be good for this super couple. Klum and Seal began dating in 2004 while Klum was pregnant with ex-boyfriend Flavio Briatore’s child … Continue reading →

I just want to finish my “In Memoriam 2011” series, but celebs just won’t stop announcing splits. First up is Debra Messing. The “Will and Grace” actress announced she split from hubby of 10 years, actor-television producer Daniel Zelman. The two met while students at New York University and dated for years before making it official in 2000. They have a seven-year-old son, Roman. But, this breakup will be a bit like a Demi/Bruce one in that it seems to be terribly amicable. So much so that the couple have been separated for most of 2011, but still lived together. … Continue reading →
