Yes, they’re already married. And, yes, they already have more than most couples could ever dream of owning… in a lifetime. Yet Carey and Cannon want you to know that it is not too late to buy them even more “stuff.” The newlyweds just registered at upscale New York City department store Bergdorf Goodman. This, despite the fact that the pair secretly wed at Carey’s seaside mansion in the Bahamas two months … Continue reading

This Week in History – June, 1993

It was 15 years ago, but it seems like only yesterday. Yes, we are going back to this week in June 1993 to find out what was happening in our world: In national news, Nutri-System was forced to claim bankruptcy. Because of that, the company had to close 283 stores and lay off 1,800 employees. The White House began receiving email via this crazy invention called the Internet. By the end of this week, the Montreal Canadiens will have won their 24th Stanley Cup after defeating the Los Angeles Kings. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland broke … Continue reading

I Just Don’t Get It

No matter how much I expose myself to the trappings of Tinseltown I will never understand what goes on in the minds of celebrities. Case in point: Mariah Carey’s quickie seaside nuptials to Nick Cannon. The pair got hitched in the Bahamas last week after dating for less than two months. That in and of itself is not that shocking. In fact, it’s par for the course for most star couples. Heck, if you have a Bahamian estate to escape to and the money to fly in a dozen or so of your closest family members and friends you might … Continue reading

Mariah Carey Marries

Her ring finger barely got used to balancing the blinged out boulder Nick Cannon gave her and the next thing you know the deal is sealed. Did they or didn’t they? Are they or aren’t they? For the past 24 hours media outlets have been going back and forth trying to confirm whether Mariah Carey and Cannon tied the knot for real. And the verdict… According to a marriage bureau on the Caribbean island of Eleuthera, Carey and Cannon are officially man and wife. Just a few days ago I blogged about the singer’s purported engagement… and now she is … Continue reading

Mariah Carey’s Engagement Ring is Bigger Than Carmen Electra’s

And there’s a reason for that… I’ll explain in a bit, but first I should note that Mariah Carey has yet to officially confirm that the gigantumongous rock on her left ring finger is in fact an engagement ring. It is. However, the pop diva did confirm that the ring was a gift from her “good friend” (see: fiancé) Nick Cannon. The pair was snapped snuggling up to each at the afterparty for her new film, Tennessee, on Saturday night. The cuddlefest reportedly started earlier that night at the Tribeca Film Festival where the world got a look at the … Continue reading

The Highs and Lows of Super Stardom

Now this is the way to make the most of a concert stop in Iowa… Billy Joel certainly made the most of his downtime in Des Moines this week. According to local papers, the Piano Man did a little shopping while he was in town for a concert… and when I say little I mean tiny in star terms. Joel reportedly walked into a local shop that specializes in vintage sports and muscle cars and left with a burgundy 1973 VW Beetle. The classic Volkswagen Bug may be small, but shop owners say it came with a hefty price tag, … Continue reading

Greatest Musical Feuds Ever – Part 1

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just all get along? Nah, what fun would that be? Here is a list of the best band squabbles ever. Some are between two bands and one is even innerbanditary (yes, I just made up that word), but all were played out in the public eye: Lynyrd Skynrd vs. Neil Young I guess Neil Young started this one. He wrote the song “Southern Man,” which contained lyrics that talked about crosses burning and paying back slaves for all the years of injustice done to them. Lynyrd Skynrd, a band almost synonymous with Southern … Continue reading

PETA Makes Peace with Beyonce and Mariah Makes Peace with Her Body

Animal rights group People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals (PETA) has struck again. But this time the overzealous group isn’t targeting its favorite celebrity, Britney Spears; rather the group is going after another pop diva—-Beyonce Knowles. Only it’s not what you think. PETA has decided to make peace with the singing sensation claiming the entertainer has ended her love affair with fur. According to PETA, Beyonce once sat at the top of the group’s “hit list” because of her frequent use of fur products, including a collection of fur coats and fur-lined boots. PETA’s attack on the singer made … 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

Timing Is Everything

Paris Hilton’s newest piece of arm candy is causing quite a stir among celebrity watchers and illustrates what can happen if you are at the right place at the right time. According to the New York Post, 22-year-old Alex Vaggo is going places… mainly in the passenger seat of Hilton’s car. The good-looking Swedish tourist was standing on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood when he was introduced to the hotel heiress. A source tells the newspaper the former jailbird immediately took a liking to him. And, now, the source says, Vaggo is living much better. (Can you … Continue reading
