French Connection

Madonna is mad, and apparently you don’t want to see Madonna mad. Just ask the staff at the ultra swanky Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes, France. That’s where the Material Girl has been camping out for the last week while in town for the Cannes International Film Festival. According to French newspapers, the pop super duper star was irate when she discovered that a camera crew from a French television station snuck into her suite while she was out whooping it up at a late night party. The paper claims that Madonna was furious when footage of her hotel room … Continue reading →

How Much Would You Bid for Madonna’s Lip Gloss?

Would you consider $500,000? Goodness knows I wouldn’t. But someone in France did so happily and got the Material Girl’s magnifying mirror, hair clips, skin blotting tissues, and lip gloss thrown in as well. Oh, and did I mention the person also walked away with a one-of-a-kind diamond-encrusted alligator bag donated by Chanel? And it was all for a good cause. The 49-year-old world famous singer parted with her personal possessions at an auction to benefit AIDS research and made it clear that she wasn’t going to settle for peanuts. Prior to her lot going up Madonna warned the crowd … Continue reading →

According to new reports, it appears a judge will give Madonna and her film director husband Guy Ritchie permanent custody of the young boy by the end of next week. … Continue reading →

“Quincy” Sues, Madonna Saves, and Piers Wins

Many of you may not remember Jack Klugman, the star of the television series’ “The Odd Couple” and “Quincy M.E.” I used to love to watch “Quincy M.E.” growing up. During the late 70s/early 80s, “Quincy M.E.” was about as edgy a show as you could find on network television. In the show, Jack Klugman (who played Quincy) was sort of a combination between Hugh Laurie’s “House” and all three CSI teams combined. Each week, Quincy would examine a body, figure out something suspicious was going on, and then solve the crime – all within an hour! Now, at the … Continue reading →

REAL or RUMOR? Clooney Heading Back to “ER” and Madonna Getting Divorced

CLOONEY HEADING BACK TO “ER” He has won an Oscar and a Golden Globe since leaving “ER” nearly a decade ago and now rumors are circulating that George Clooney might be heading back to the show that helped make him famous. Turns out this one is pure rumor. But, oh how I wish this one was true. I really haven’t watched the hit NBC drama series since Clooney’s character, the hunky Dr. Doug “you-can-examine-me-anytime” Ross, left in 1999. Clooney tells TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” that the story came out of nowhere and took on a life of its own. Bottom line, … Continue reading →

Hollywood’s New IT Career–Fashion Design

First it was Madonna, then Justin Timberlake , Sienna Miller and Sarah Jessica Parker jumped on the bandwagon. Next, Luke Wilson and Matthew McConaughey wanted in on the action too. Geez, is there any one in Hollywood who doesn’t have his or her own celebrity fashion line? I doubt it after learning about the latest round of TV and movie fashionistas (none who have any experience in the fashion biz—-not that that’s a prerequisite in Tinseltown these days) who are now offering you a chance to wear a little number they had a hand in creating. Add Lindsay Lohan’s name … Continue reading →

Celebrities Lending a Hand

Madonna is putting her money where her mouth is. The adoption advocate is teaming up with Gucci to raise money for orphans in Malawai. The impoverished southern African nation is where the Material Girl and her husband Guy Ritchie met their 2-year-old son David Banda. (The couple has not officially been named the boy’s parents, but he has been living with them since last year.) According to the 49-year-old singer, she will host a star-studded fundraiser – including a dinner, musical performance and party – on February 6, 2008 to open Gucci’s new store on New York’s Fifth Avenue. “I … Continue reading →

Well, That is Not Very Nice!

Other magazines usually release their “sexist female celebrity” lists, but Maxim has gone one step further – they just released their Unsexiest female celebrity list. Their Unsexiest Woman Alive article includes women from all over the world that appear in movies, on television, and on stage. So, who made the undesirable list? Coming in at number 5 was Britney Spears. Now to me, this is a case of kicking someone when she is down. Britney does look a little worse for wear lately, but about five years ago, she was on everyone’s hot list. However, the people at Maxim said … Continue reading →
