Are they or aren’t they? Is she or isn’t she? Finally, we have confirmation about rumored relationships and potential pregnancies. Take a look: According to the New York Post and E! News, singer Christina Aguilera has a few more months to rework the words to “Come On Over Baby” to make it into a lullaby in anticipation for her new arrival. In a previous blog Libby indicated there was speculation that the five-time Grammy winner and hubby Jordan Bratman were expecting their first child together. Now we know its true.

The 62-year-old rocker tied the knot with his model girlfriend of seven years, Penny Lancaster, today in a small town in Italy.

Sources say the ceremony lasted about 30 minutes and was followed by a photo session in landscaped gardens near the ceremony site. The wedding party was then whisked away to a … Continue reading

No Pity Party For Paris

Last week a veteran Hollywood publicist told a reporter from TV’s Entertainment Tonight: “Usually powerful people protect powerful people.” His comment was made following the re-jailing of Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton and spoke to the fact that when celebrities fall on tough times they can typically rely on their fellow stars to back them up in the midst of their crisis. In the case of Paris Hilton this celebrity “support” has been noticeably missing. Frankly, I find the publicist’s comment to be very interesting. Especially if you take a look back at other “fallen” stars. For example, when Mel Gibson … Continue reading

Paris and Nicole Ending Their Feud?

Yes, yes, I know it is all very high school, but it seems that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie will be ending their feud. Surprisingly enough, it will be on live television. Okay, I wrote that part tongue in cheek. But like it or not, they are currently a part of our pop culture. In case you have been living on Mars lately, Paris and Nicole were BFF (Best Friends Forever) socialites that somehow became popular. I believe it was all the party hopping. Anyhow, some mastermind in Hollywood decided to offer them a television show, “The Simple Life,” and … Continue reading

Hollywood’s On Again Off Again, On Again Off Again Relationships

Did you hear? Paris Hilton is back together with her ex-boyfriend, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos. What’s that you say? You don’t care?

We love each other,” Hilton told PEOPLE. But wait, it gets better. If we were to … Continue reading

Lionel Richie: “I’m the Basket Case.”

Who doesn’t think that Nicole Richie is rail-thin? Fellow blogger Libby made a cute comment in regards to the “Simple Life” star’s physique recently that made me wonder if anyone in Richie’s immediate family noticed what we Popular Culture bloggers (and other entertainment magazine readers) have noticed. I got my answer a few days ago. Nicole’s father, the legendary Lionel Richie is breaking his silence regarding his daughter’s weight. “I’ll be honest with you, it hurts me more than it hurts her,” the 57-year-old singer told TV’s “Access Hollywood” in an interview that aired earlier this week. “I’m more sensitive. … Continue reading
