Celebrity Parents Cashing In on Baby—How Much is Too Much?

As I mentioned in my previous blog there is a bidding war brewing over who will land exclusive rights to the first shots of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s soon-to-be born twins (reportedly they are fraternal twin girls due next week). The latest reports have the figure at more than $15 million. While we won’t know what the final figure will be until Jolie pops out her new babes, we now know the exact amount other celebs are getting for the first published photos of their tiny tots. According to TMZ.com, first time parents Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila … Continue reading

Celebrity Babies: The Meaning Behind the Unique Monikers

Sunday? Monday? Tuesday? No, no, and no. It appears Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend Camila Alves have decided against following Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s lead in naming their newborn after a day of the week. Rather, the actor just announced his firstborn son will be called Levi Alves McConaughey. As I mentioned in a previous blog, in which I encouraged you to guess what moniker McConaughey would bestow on his son, the hunky movie star revealed his child was born on Monday at 6:22 p.m. But little did I know that the time of little Levi’s birth would play … Continue reading

PEOPLE Magazine’s former Sexiest Man Alive and his girlfriend of two years Camila Alves just confirmed that they are now the proud parents of a healthy baby boy.

Hollywood—-It’s All Who You Know

When a guy named Rooster gets his own TV show you have to know that there’s more to the story than just his moniker. Or is there? Once I found out what Rooster’s real name was it all started to make sense. Rooster McConaughey is actually Michael Patrick McConaughey… as in the brother of Hollywood hottie Matthew McConaughey. Now you get it? Rooster’s new show is called “Black Gold” and it premieres next month on truTV. Let me start by saying that if you plan to tune in with the hopes that Rooster’s bro will come jogging by in all … Continue reading

Unlikely Hollywood Fashion Designers

When I hear the name Luke Wilson the first word that pops into my mind is NOT fashion (or fashionable for that matter). Which is why I was floored when I learned that the actor is teaming up with PUMA to design a new line of modern golf apparel. Well, at least he’s not designing women’s shoes. The youngest Wilson brother says he plays “a ton of golf” so he figured it would be “fun” venturing into the world of sports apparel. So what can we look for on the links once the new Wilson/PUMA collection is unveiled? Company spokespeople … Continue reading

Hunky Matthew McConaughey is going to be a daddy. The actor announced the news on his website yesterday. And the lucky lady carrying the spawn of PEOPLE’s “Sexiest Man Alive 2005?” His current and equally gorgeous girlfriend Brazilian model Camila Alves. In typical McConaughey style the actor posted this crunchy message online: “My girlfriend Camila and I made a baby together. It’s 3 months growin in her womb and all looks healthy and lively so far.

People Magazine and Its Bachelor of the Year

In case you missed it on the headlines, People Magazine has just announced their new bachelor of the year – Matthew McConaughey. As you may have noticed, this 37-year-old sexy bachelor has no problem in taking his shirt off. In fact, he seems to enjoy being photographed topless. And with a six-pack like that, I have not problem with him being exposed! Matthew, a good ole Texas boy, began his career on an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries.” After a bit part in My Boyfriend’s Back, he landed a role in Dazed and Confused, a classic 1993 movie about teenagers in … Continue reading

Are They Or Aren’t They?

I think Hollywood’s relationship merry-go-round spins so fast sometimes even the players involved don’t know whether they are coming or going. Are they on? Are they off? Or, are they just being taken for a ride? It’s a question I ask every time I see Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson’s names used in the same sentence. The actors have been romantically linked in the tabloids for some time. But, are they in fact a real couple? At times it seems as though they don’t even know the answer. If you are just joining this relationship-go-round here’s the deal: 27-year-old Hudson … Continue reading

Anatomy of “The Bo-mance”

You’ve heard of a Hollywood romance. You may even be familiar with the Hollywood sho-mance (when reality TV show stars hook up during their respective shows). Now get ready to add another “ance” to the list—the “Bo-mance.” It is loosely defined as two male stars who share a close friendship (or at least are photographed together so frequently as to raise questions about the true nature of their relationship). Recently, it’s the term of choice used to describe Lance Armstrong and Matthew McConaughey’s relationship. Now, the athlete and the actor are addressing rumors that they’re anything more than just pals. … Continue reading
