John and Jen Split and Ellen and Portia Wed

Did anyone seriously think they’d last longer than six months? If you predicted that John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston’s romance would fizzle out after four months then buy yourself a lottery ticket because you were exactly right. The high profile pair never officially confirmed they were dating, but pictures don’t lie. The couple was snapped cuddling, canoodling, and cavorting from Miami to Los Angeles (and just about everywhere in between as Aniston joined Mayer on his cross country concert tour). Personally, I am not the least bit surprised that Jen and John split. What does shock me is the fact … Continue reading

Celebrity Do-Gooders Turn Their Attention to Myanmar

Lending a hand to those in war-torn Darfur is so yesterday. These days Hollywood’s A-listers are turning their sights on another country that treats its people poorly—-Myanmar (also known as Burma). Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Aniston and Ellen Page are among the stars supporting a new campaign aimed at bringing to light the atrocities committed by members of Myanmar’s military-run government. Carrey was the first celeb to film a public service announcement to raise awareness about the Southeast Asian country and human rights leader Aung San Suu Kyi, who has been confined by the government for 12 of the … Continue reading

What’s the Big Deal?

Jennifer Aniston had lunch with musician John Mayer in Miami last week. Whoo-hoo. What’s the big deal? Frankly, I don’t think it’s worth mentioning, but for some reason news of this alleged “intimate” luncheon is making headlines the world over. For those of you who haven’t opened a newspaper or surfed the Internet this weekend, apparently the former “Friends” star had a late private lunch with Mayer at a trendy Miami eatery—-which, by the way, the couple reportedly had opened just for them—Friday afternoon, before reuniting again for a lengthy dinner later that night. According to news reports, Aniston and … Continue reading

Carey’s Record Breaking Chart-toppers and Aniston’s Off the Chart New Project

“Touch My Body” by Mariah Carey, have you heard it on the radio? I haven’t, but after learning it recently made history I’m somewhat anxious to hear if it lives up to the hype. “Touch My Body” just became Carey’s 18th hit single and subsequently the pop diva has now passed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard singles chart, and is now second only to the Beatles (the group holds the record with 20). It’s quite an accomplishment regardless of how you feel about Carey’s music or her image. Speaking of her image, Carey was … Continue reading

Brangelina’s Very Greasy Christmas

If Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are trying to convince fans that they are as down-home as the next family they’re doing a great job. Watching video of how the Jolie-Pitt’s spent their holiday sure made me feel closer to them. Various news channels have been milking the video of Pitt driving a white Nissan minivan through a McDonald’s drive-thru in New Orleans on Christmas Day. According to employees there, the actor turned father of four picked up Happy Meals for his entire pint-sized brood. But, team Jolie-Pitt’s fast food frenzy didn’t stop there. The day after Christmas the entire … Continue reading

Prison Bans Jennifer Aniston… Poster

You have to wonder if Jennifer Aniston realizes that a mere picture of her flawless figure is at the center of a case that has cost taxpayers in Wisconsin (that’s me) thousands of dollars. On second thought, I’m sure she tells her publicist to keep these types of stories far, far away from her. So here’s the scoop on Jennifer Aniston (the poster) vs. the world (or at least this part of the world). An inmate imprisoned about 30 minutes from my home wanted to hang a picture of Brad Pitt’s ex-wife on the wall of his cell. However, the … Continue reading

Hollywood Hook-Ups—-Which Ones Will Last?

According to new reports, the former Mrs. Brad Pitt is reportedly dating Lewis, who played character Samantha’s lover in the hit HBO series. Over the past few weeks, paparazzi have captured the pair enjoying an intimate dinner in New York and a walk in Central Park. A source tells Britain’s Closer magazine the couple has shared a few dates, but their future remains uncertain. “He thinks she’s gorgeous and they just clicked. … Continue reading

Hollywood Politics

Well, I guess they can’t all be as outspoken as Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Streisand… New information is surfacing daily in regards to how much money celebrities are shelling out to their political preferences—most notably the ones who do it in a less conspicuous manner than the stars I mentioned above. The politically progressive website run by Arianna Huffington recently revealed how much cash big name celebs are donating to the 2008 presidential candidates’ campaigns. As you may have well guessed most of Hollywood’s A-listers are backing the Democrats. For example, Huffington Post’s FundRace 2008 shows that actress Jennifer Aniston … Continue reading
