HITCHED Eat your heart out Jen. It didn’t happen with a slew of TV cameras around… but it’s still official. “The Bachelor” is now off the market. Well, one of them anyway. Andrew Firestone, who starred in the third season of ABC’s hit reality TV series “The Bachelor” got hitched Saturday… to a woman who had nothing to do with the show that made him famous. Firestone married Serbian model and actress Ivana Bozilovic in a private ceremony at St. Mark’s in the Valley Episcopal Church in Los Olivos, the California town where his family’s winery is based.

Beware: Celebs Behind the Wheel

Hit me baby one more time… Is it possible to go an entire week without hearing about yet another Britney Spears fender bender? Apparently not. The reforming pop diva gives new meaning to the term repeat offender. Less than a month after she slammed into a SUV in L.A. Spears rear-ended a red Ford Explorer in Beverly Hills this afternoon. Witnesses on the scene described it as a “minor” car accident. Reports indicate that the 26-year-old singer was driving her white Mercedes-Benz SL65 from her Studio City home to downtown Beverly Hills when she rear-ended the Explorer. “I think she … Continue reading →

The comedian reportedly wed his Hollywood producer girlfriend Nancy Juvonen in a private ceremony on Necker Island in the Caribbean last night. Thirty-three-year-old Fallon met his 40-year-old bride on the set of his 2005 romantic comedy “Fever Pitch” and proposed to her last August at the Junoven family home in New Hampshire on Lake Winnipesaukee, where “On Golden Pond” was filmed.

Celebrity Milestones: Engaged and Expecting Again

So much for the Tina Fey rumor… It appears Jimmy Fallon is officially off the market. But, the groom-to-be is did not propose to any of his former “Saturday Night Live” co-stars. Rather, Fallon is engaged to girlfriend Nancy Juvonen, a Hollywood producer who worked on the actor’s 2005 romantic comedy “Fever Pitch.” And by the sounds of it the proposal was as romantic as any Hollywood-produced love scene. According to a friend of the couple’s, Fallon popped the question in New Hampshire on the dock of Juvonen’s family home in Wolfeboro on Lake Winnipesaukee–the same place where “On Golden … Continue reading →

Celebs New Gigs

Well, you had to see this coming. He may be the only other man involved in the Anna Nicole Smith saga, besides Larry Birkhead, who emerged smiling. I’m referring to Judge Larry Seidlin… the wisecracking, tear-stained, snarky, former New York cab driver who presided over the Anna Nicole Smith case. During the court proceeding Seidlin frequently threw out comedic one-liners and referred to the lawyers with nicknames such as “Tex” and “California.” At the time, many observers called Seidlin’s behavior an act and maintained he was angling for his own television program ala “Judge Judy.” Well, guess what? They were … Continue reading →

Movie Milestones – 25th Anniversaries

It is the twenty fifth anniversary of many famous films from 1982. I was but a youngster then (19) and going to the movies was one of my favorite activities (still is!). E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial It is hard to believe it has been twenty-five years since Drew Barrymore graced the big screen as the adorable Gertie. It was the highest grossing movie that year and won three of the nine Oscars for which it was nominated. E.T. also won two Golden Globes for Best Motion Picture and Best Original Score for a Motion Picture. Director Steven Spielberg says that E.T. … Continue reading →

Two Splits and an Unlikely Duo

I should have known it was coming. I had just read in Star Magazine how great a relationship Drew Barrymore had with the Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti. After all, Barrymore and Moretti had been together almost five years, which seemed like fifty in Barrymore years. Barrymore had not been known for long-term relationships, having been married first husband Jeremy Thomas for only six months and second husband Tom Green for a year. Then I went to the Movie and Television News section of the Internet Movie Database today and there is it – “Barrymore Splits with Strokes Drummer.” There is … Continue reading →
