Ricky Martin really is “Livin’ La Vida Loca” now that he is the single parent of twin boys. Who knew his hit song would be so prophetic.

SPLITTING Don’t look at Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the handsome duo say they aren’t responsible for the split between Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman.

Insiders say the parting of ways comes on the heels of 39-year-old Kimmel’s admission that he would like to be a father “some day soon.” Silverman, 37, has long joked that … Continue reading →

Likewise, I usually duck out when my daughter is watching “Arthur” on PBS so I can fold a few loads of laundry. But, come September 3rd my daughter and I have a date with the same television show. Hottie Matt Damon (who is currently playing former assassin Jason Bourne in “The Bourne Ultimatum”) is tackling a new project next month—complete with bear ears and fur. The … Continue reading →

Chan Banned, Spice Married, and Damon is Money

Jackie Chan Banned! The highly popular Chinese star has seen his current film banned in China. Rush Hour 3 just opened, but the Chinese will not be seeing it. There is a scene in the film in which an organized crime family visits Paris. Of course, I am not talking the Sopranos here, but the Chinese organized crime family known as the Triads. This angered Chinese authorities, but the Film Bureau insists that is not the reason for the ban. They say they are blocking the release of the film for another reason. Apparently, only twenty foreign films can be … Continue reading →
