When it was time for Willie Nelson to spread some holiday cheer he knew exactly where to go—his home away from home. The 74-year-old country crooner wanted to show the town that embraced him before he was famous just how much he cared so he donated $40,000 to area charities. The city of Vancouver, Washington is the proud recipient of Nelson’s generous holiday gift and government leaders there say the money will be well spent.

Scott “You-can-call-me-Cachi” Baio and Howie “I’m-a-Backstreet-Boy” Dorough did it, but there are some Hollywood celebrities who decided not to tie the knot this weekend—-most notably Nick Lachey. And it wasn’t just the tabloids that predicted the ex-Mr. Jessica Simpson was going to exchange vows with his girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo. FOX News claimed the couple—who have been dating since April 2006–planned to make it legal in a secret ceremony in the Bahamas over the weekend.

Jessica Simpson’s Rebound Man Takes A Hike

Here’s the deal: no matter how many photos they posed for locked in loving embraces; no matter how many times they expressed their undying affection for one another in interviews; and certainly, no matter how many times she died her hair to match his, I never once believed that Jessica Simpson and John Mayer’s romance was the real deal. Now I can gloat. According to news reports, the popular singers have broken up. Sure, there was an addendum tacked to the report that read: “perhaps not for good,” but I know better and here’s why. First, if you watched even … Continue reading

Star-Studded Derby

My 3-year-old daughter watched her first Kentucky Derby today. She put on her purple pillbox hat and stood in front of the TV leaning on her Easy Ride’Um brown stick horse. (The image still makes me smile.) The gates opened, the horses took off, and we hooted and hollered. It was great fun. Okay, perhaps, not the same kind of fun that was had by the Hollywood stars who flew east for the Derby festivities… but fun for us non-celebrity types. For days the media has been reporting on the pre-Derby parties. You know the ones that included appearances by … Continue reading

So much for a church wedding for award-winning singer Charlotte Church—at least for now. Ever since the star announced she was pregnant, residents near her home in Cardiff, Wales expected to see the 21-year-old walk down the aisle with her 25-year-old boyfriend. But alas, Church’s publicist has confirmed that those reports are false. So, yes, she’s pregnant, but no, she’s not getting married anytime soon. Check. (Apparently she’s too busy with her late-night talk show on British TV.) Moving on to another celebrity couple—this pair happens to be expecting their second child. (Oh, and by the way, they are married.) … Continue reading
