Laila on CBS, Rachael on Ice, and Ellen on Glitter

Laila Ali sure knows how to milk her 15 minutes of fame. The former “Dancing with the Stars” finalist has yet another new job—–she’s joining CBS’s “The Early Show” as a contributing correspondent starting next week. The boxing champ turned ballroom dancer recently got a new gig co-hosting “American Gladiators” and now she’s going big time by traveling the country for CBS in search of human-interest stories. Basically, Ali is going to be doing for “The Early Show” what celeb chef and resident pregnant hottie Giada De Laurentiis is doing for NBC’s “Today” show. CBS execs say the reason they … Continue reading →

Miss California Debacle

Honestly, I had no idea California was facing a crisis until I accidentally tuned into Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show yesterday. That’s when I saw an emotionally distraught Miss California USA recounting to Ellen a torrid tale of misconception. Turns out the woman sitting next to DeGeneres, Christina Silva, was technically not Miss California USA. Well, she was… for a few weeks. Confused? So was I. So, here’s the deal. Miss California USA organizers say votes hadn’t been correctly tallied during the pageant and Silva was crowned by mistake. The woman pageant officials say rightfully earned the title is Miss Barstow, … Continue reading →

Look Who’s Crossing the Line

Writers Guild Strike—Day 5 She’s crossed the line in other instances so why should any of us be surprised that unlike Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Jon Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres has decided to cross the picket line and continue to film new episodes of her show. The actress turned talk show host explained her move on air yesterday: “I want to say I love my writers. I love them. In honor of them today, I’m not going to do a monologue,” DeGeneres told her live studio audience. “[But] people have traveled across the country. They’ve made plans. They’re here. I … Continue reading →

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor”—Angelina Expecting Baby No. 5 and Ellen Takes Over for Howie

ANGELINA EXPECTING BABY NO. 5 If you follow interviews conducted with celeb couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt then you know it was just a matter of time before the aforementioned headline surfaced. Whether or not it is true… well… if you believe the Italian press then it is “REAL.” Various Italian newspapers are reporting that the 32-year-old actress is pregnant. If you don’t believe the papers, then it is just a “RUMOR.” The “rumor” started flying when Jolie pulled out of a commitment to speak at charity event in Italy allegedly because she is expecting another baby.

DeGeneres’ Doggy Drama Escalates

So much for that happy ending I predicted… Ellen DeGeneres cried her eyes out on her show yesterday as she recounted the events that led to her dog being taken from her hairstylist’s home. But, it appears the comedian’s tearful plea didn’t help soften the hearts of the owners of a dog agency that maintains DeGeneres violated an adoption contract. In fact, it looks as though the ugly situation is getting even uglier. According to news reports, as a result of the massive media exposure this doggy drama has created, the owners of Mutts and Moms (the agency DeGeneres got … Continue reading →

DeGeneres’ Doggie Dilemma

If you don’t want to see Ellen DeGeneres in the midst of a massive emotional meltdown then you’ll want to steer clear of her talk show today. Hollywood is buzzing about DeGeneres being in the doghouse with a local animal adoption agency. Reports say the talk show host broke down sobbing yesterday while she was taping an episode that is slated to air today. The actress and her partner, Portia de Rossi, reportedly took home a Brussels Griffon mix named Iggy late last month, but it appears the energetic pup was a bit too much for the couple to handle … Continue reading →

Another Celebrity Split – Anne Heche

Anne Heche has confirmed that she and Coley Laffoon, her hubby of five years, have split. Heche and Laffoon have one son, four-year-old Homer. There are rumors that Heche is seeing her “Men in Trees” costar James Tupper, who split from his wife last November, but there is no official word from the stars. Heche was one-half a highly publicized romance with Ellen DeGeneres during the late 90s. Their relationship came light after DeGeneres announced her sexuality. I think at the time, Heche had just broken up with Steve Martin. For a while, her identity as Ellen’s partner remained a … Continue reading →
