Bidding War Begins for Pics of Brangelina’s Unborn Babies

The rumors are NOT true. Despite, reports made by TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” last week Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are not the proud parents of newborn twin daughters. The TV show reported Friday that Jolie had delivered “two healthy daughters named Isla Marcheline and Amelie Jane.” Within hours rival news organizations shot the story down and by the end of the day Pitt’s manager released a statement that said the “ET” story was not true. (By the way producers at “Entertainment Tonight” say they are sticking by their story.) There’s no question that the birth of Brangelina’s babes is a … Continue reading

GASP! Us reports that the singer is caring for her children … Continue reading

Celebrity Milestones—The Bad and the Good

So much for working things out… The much-ballyhooed semi-reconciliation between estranged couple Dylan McDermott and Shiva Rose is over. At least according to court documents. Court filings show the actor threw in the towel on his 12-year marriage last Friday. Records show the former star of TV’s “The Practice” officially filed for divorce six days ago citing irreconcilable differences. The actor and his actress wife have two young daughters together. They separated more than a year ago, and reports say in that time they tried to patch things up, but apparently McDermott wanted out more than he wanted in. According … Continue reading

No, No J-Lo

Say it ain’t so. When Jennifer Lopez finally announced she was pregnant with twins (during her seventh month) she said all her dreams had finally come true and she planned to “just be a mom” for a while. Well, time’s up! I guess “just” being a mom was not as exciting as she thought it would be because now it appears Lopez is taking the mommy bit to TV. Yesterday TLC announced it will be airing a new reality series on how Lopez juggles her career — including launching a new fragrance — with motherhood. ARGH! I can’t believe she … Continue reading
