Baby Girl Power

Girls rule in Hollywood! It’s a girl and a girl… and another girl for some of Tinseltown’s biggest names. Earlier today actress Jennifer Garner and her actor hubby Ben Affleck welcomed a second daughter into their family. According to reports, Garner gave birth to a baby girl at a Los Angeles hospital and both mom and baby are doing well. The superstar couple has yet to release their newborn’s name. However, rumor has it that the acting pair’s 3-year-old daughter Violet had a hand in naming her new sibling. The former “Alias” star and her Oscar-winning hubby have made it … Continue reading →

Jen’s Present to Ben and Julianne Margulies’ Gift to Herself

I guess the child Jennifer Garner is carrying is not her Christmas present to her famous hubby Ben Affleck after all. Rather, the National Enquirer is reporting that the actress is designing her poker-playing spouse a gaming suite in their new home. The tabloid claims that Garner surprised Affleck with the plans for the new addition a few months ago. But, perhaps, even more shocking than the fact that Garner paid big bucks to recreate her hubby’s favorite high-roller suite at the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas (which apparently is his favorite place to play) is the news that the … Continue reading →

Celebrity REAL or RUMOR—Barry Wasting Away and Jennifer Running Away

BARRY WASTING AWAY “Rumor, rumor, rumor,” claims Barry Manilow’s reps in regards to reports that the legendary singer is wasting away. Numerous publications and websites have been running photos of the emaciated crooner in recent weeks with captions that made fun of his frail and skeletal appearance. The rabid media speculation prompted Manilow’s reps to issue a statement denying stories that the singer is dying and weighs in at less than 100 pounds. The public statement reads in part, “[Barry] is pretty trim but 100 pounds? Give us a break… and no, he’s not ill.” Manilow’s rep also urged fans … Continue reading →

Celebrity REAL or RUMOR: Jen and Ben Expecting and Hawke Weds

If you believe the supermarket tabloids then 2-year-old Violet Affleck will soon be forced to share her toys with a new baby sister or brother. According to the National Enquirer, Hollywood hottie Ben Affleck and his superstar wife Jennifer Garner are expecting their second child. The tabloid claims Garner is set to give birth to the couple’s second child early next year.

Celebs—Giving as Good as They Get

At some point in your life you have likely sunk your teeth into a Jimmy Dean sausage, and thanks to loyal fans, the pork product king has been able to amass a fortune. Now Dean says it’s time to give back. The sausage titan just donated $1 million to Texas’ Wayland Baptist University. In doing so Dean makes history for providing the small school of just about 1,000 students with the biggest single gift ever donated by an individual. Ironically, Dean has never stepped foot in an institution of higher learning. In fact, he is a self-professed drop out who … Continue reading →

2008 Oscar Fashion

Did you honestly think I would overlook this year’s fashion at the Academy Awards? I definitely had some opinions about the outfits, although I must say the guys for the most part were well dressed but dull. Even Johnny Depp looked normal! For the women, I must say that I didn’t really like Marion Cotillard’s dress. Yes, it was kind of pretty, but didn’t you think it made her look a bit like a mermaid with all the scales? Okay, okay, I know, she is French; she innately knows more about fashion than I do. Moving on, I thought Jennifer … Continue reading →

The Oscar Aftermath

Well, I only got to watch about 9 hours of Oscar coverage yesterday as my hubby and I decided to take our son to a train show. Then, I missed some of E!’s coverage because I couldn’t hear it over the steamy train engine running in my kitchen. But, I still loved it. Oscar Day is THE yearly holiday for me at my house and this year, it didn’t disappoint (even though I, unlike most people, thought it ran a bit short!). So what were the highlights and lowlights of the night? Well, on the red carpet, certain sites are … Continue reading →

Dreams Really Do Come True

I have to hand it to Jamie Foxx—-he’s come a long way in the past few years. In less than a decade the actor who was raised by his grandmother has moved from the standup stage to the Oscar stage. (See, dreams really do come true.) And now the Academy Award-winner has another prominent award to add to his collection—-a spot on Hollywood Boulevard. Foxx received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Friday and wasted no time thanking the woman he credits with shaping his life. “My grandmother’s gotta be spreading her wings and flying around in … Continue reading →

Celebrity “Real” Or “Rumor”: Babies, Babies, Babies

Real or rumor… Welsh singer Charlotte Church plans to give birth in a bathtub? Yup. That’s REAL! The 21-year-old just announced that she intends to have a water birth to welcome her first child. Church is due at the end of September, but she says she could “pop” at any moment. She and her boyfriend (the baby’s father), Gavin Henson do not know the sex of their child, which, according to the singer, makes the birth even more exciting. Church says she was inspired to have a water birth after hearing about how well it worked for her friend. In … Continue reading →

“The View” For Moms

You’d think she would learn from their mistakes… but maybe she has and this is her way of taking a good idea and putting her own spin on it. I’m talking about actress Jennifer Garner’s idea to pitch a talk show described as “The View” for mothers. According to news reports, Garner and former “So You Think You Can Dance” host Lauren Sanchez-Whitesell are putting together a televised chatfest for moms by moms. “We’re pitching it next week to a network. I call Jen the Barbara Walters of the show. She will come on periodically. We haven’t quite settled exactly … Continue reading →
