Britney’s Big Buy for Her Baby Sis

She may be on a recently imposed $1,500 a week allowance, but that didn’t stop Britney Spears from dropping some serious cash to pay for her soon-to-be born niece or nephew’s new nursery. The reforming pop star reportedly spent more than $30,000 to have professional designers create an ocean-themed pad for her 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn’s unborn baby. The nursery is also the new home to a one-of-a-kind elephant Britney bought for the child who will be the first cousin to her own two boys Sean Preston and Jayden James. According to reports, big sis Brit ordered a six-foot tall … Continue reading

2008 Oscar Fashion

Did you honestly think I would overlook this year’s fashion at the Academy Awards? I definitely had some opinions about the outfits, although I must say the guys for the most part were well dressed but dull. Even Johnny Depp looked normal! For the women, I must say that I didn’t really like Marion Cotillard’s dress. Yes, it was kind of pretty, but didn’t you think it made her look a bit like a mermaid with all the scales? Okay, okay, I know, she is French; she innately knows more about fashion than I do. Moving on, I thought Jennifer … Continue reading

Nicole Kidman IS Pregnant

Her publicist, Catherine Olim, has finally confirmed it – Nicole Kidman is pregnant! Of course, the brief statement included that “the couple are thrilled.” Rumors were circulating that she was indeed pregnant (but haven’t they been since before she and Keith Urban even married?) when it was reported that she dropped out of the World War II drama The Reader earlier this month. Nicole’s camp kept denying that she was pregnant and a representative for the production company even refused to say she had quit the Stephen Daldry drama. When specifically asked last week by a Daily Telegraph reporter if … Continue reading

Nicole Kidman is Pregnant—-For Real

Last week her reps denied it, but now it appears they are ready to admit the truth: Nicole Kidman is pregnant! Kidman could have pulled a Jennifer Lopez, and she very well might have been successful in doing so if it weren’t for the fact that an Australian newspaper learned the actress just pulled out of a film so she could focus on being a mom again. This will be the third child for the Oscar winner. She and ex-husband Tom Cruise adopted two babies during their marriage. Their kids, 15-year-old Isabella and 12-year-old Connor now split their time between … Continue reading

Celebrity “REAL” or “RUMOR”—Sheridan/Bolton Nuptials on Hold and a Pregnant Nicole Kidman

Are they or aren’t they? Despite RUMORS to the contrary “Desperate Housewives” star Nicollette Sheridan says she still intends to marry fiancé Michael Bolton. The couple’s recent trip to the Caribbean sent the rumor mill into overdrive. One tabloid had the couple married and Sheridan pregnant with Bolton’s baby while others reported that the longhaired pair was on the road to splitsville. Turns out neither are true. Sheridan cleared up the erroneous reports by telling the U.K.’s Mail on Sunday the only thing holding up the nuptials is the venue. “We haven’t decided where, and as soon as we make … Continue reading

A Secret Wedding and A Secret Engagement

They finally did it. After more than four years together actor Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer got married in a secret sunset ceremony on the Big Island of Hawaii Monday. According to Maguire’s rep, the nuptials were witnessed by a very small group of family members (including the couple’s 9-month-old daughter) and a few close friends. The 32-year-old “Spider-Man” star and 30-year-old Meyer (the daughter of Hollywood big wig Ron Meyer, president and chief operating officer of Universal Studios) have been dating since 2003 and were engaged last year shortly after Meyer learned she was pregnant. Their daughter Ruby was … Continue reading

Celebrity’s “Top Secret” Pregnancy

Let’s face it; if actress Naomi Watts didn’t want people to know she was pregnant she should have worn Jennifer Lopez’s dress to the Oscars. Mrs. Marc Anthony’s Oscar gown looked a lot more maternity-like than Watts’s did. Just to set the record straight–Lopez is not pregnant, but Watts is. But, that’s only half the story. According to Watts’s boyfriend, actor Liev Schreiber, the couple is expecting a child. Schreiber made the announcement on Conan O’Brien’s show last night. “Yes, I’m going to be a dad,” Schreiber told the Late Night host. “Very exciting.” This all evolved roughly 24 hours … Continue reading

Celebrities, The Environment, and Human Rights

Celebrities and their pet charities are a popular topic in this blog. Libby and I have written about stars lending a hand to the homeless, the innocent, and the sick. But, this week the spotlight focused on a growing concern among politicians, actors, and musicians—the environment. Actress Cameron Diaz, hip-hop producer Pharrell, and former vice president Al Gore joined forces to announce an international campaign to promote global warming awareness. The monster event to be held this summer is called Save Our Selves – The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis. It features a 24-hour “Live Earth” concert, which will … Continue reading
