Celebrity Weddings—Just Hitched and Getting Hitched

Usher may have gotten cold feet, but it seems nothing was going stop Steve Martin from getting hitched this weekend. Not even the fact that his guests didn’t know there was going to be a wedding. It was no secret that Martin intended to marry his girlfriend Anne Stringfield, but it appears no one knew it was going to happen Saturday night. According to Martin’s publicist, some 75 big name guests were not told that they would be witnessing Martin and Stringfield exchange vows when they were invited to the actor’s home for a “party.” The nuptials were a surprise … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Hilton’s Trash and a New Addition to the Royal Family

In a previous blog I wrote about the outrageous appeal of Paris Hilton. The just freed jailbird’s popularity was tested and further proved during a recent eBay auction. A couple of jokesters from the website HollywoodStarTrash.com rummaged through the celebutante’s garbage and put a few items on eBay. The results are now in and they may surprise you. An empty container of gourmet dog food taken from Hilton’s trash fetched $305 in the online auction, which wrapped up this weekend. In addition, a used toothbrush sold for $305; two envelopes sent the hotel heiress while she was in jail sold … Continue reading

Was It All Just A Big Hoax?

Perhaps, I should have been a professional royal-watcher… A couple of weeks ago when the news broke that Prince William and his girlfriend of nearly five years, Kate Middleton “split” then dramatically reunited last month, my royal feelers went up. I cynically made the comment (in this blog) that the royal break up was really a carefully planned royal hoax. (For the record Valorie agreed with me.) Now it seems my super powers may finally be validated. According to the New York Post, a veteran royal watcher is confirming that William and Kate never actually broke up in the first … Continue reading

Concert For Diana—What I Missed… What Did I Miss?

Who knew I would one day rue the day I didn’t have VH1? Our cable company doesn’t offer the music channel so I didn’t get to see Prince William and Prince Harry’s musical tribute to their mother in its entirety (Concert for Diana aired live on VH1 this morning). Instead, I was forced to settle for NBC’s extremely edited down one-hour version (which in my opinion was a joke) that aired tonight in primetime. After watching the mega-hyped “Concert for Diana” on NBC I felt gypped. First of all, Matt Lauer’s “Dateline NBC” interview with the princes, which aired last … Continue reading

A Royal Reunion?

They said it wouldn’t last … the split that is. When Prince William and his girlfriend of four years Kate Middleton split earlier this year many observed that the separation was “temporary.” If you happened to be one of those people, give yourself a pat on the back—-it seems you were right. According to British newspapers, 25-year-old Prince William and Kate Middleton have resumed their relationship. The newspapers report that the stylish couple attended a party together earlier this month and William has invited Kate to attend the much hyped memorial concert he and his brother Prince Harry are planning … Continue reading

Do You Want To See The Pictures?

Nearly a decade after her horrific death Princess Diana is still making headlines. The latest coverage includes pleas from Diana’s sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. The princes are going public with their wishes that a British television station not broadcast a series of photos taken immediately after the car crash that killed their mother in Paris on August 31, 1997. In a statement to network executives Prince William and Prince Harry maintained that showing the images in a documentary scheduled to air today would be a “gross disrespect to their mother’s memory” and “deeply distressing” to them. In a … Continue reading

Celebrity Marriages (or not): Prince William and Kate Middleton

How would you feel if bookies were quite literally taking odds on whether or not you would marry your current love interest? Well, maybe current isn’t exactly accurate, since Prince William and Kate Middleton have announced their agreement to split up. While the decision appears to be mutual, apparently, Prince William got cold feet and decided he was a bit too young to marry any time soon. He is also said to be interested in establishing his military career before settling into marriage. It’s not like Kate Middleton didn’t know what she was getting into, and that her personal life … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Middleton’s New Life and The Wiggles’ New Addition

Kate Middleton is adjusting to her new life without boyfriend Prince William. After nearly five years together, the couple recently decided to call it quits and as all things related to the future king of England the news made international headlines. Be that as it may, the intense media scrutiny apparently hasn’t stopped Middleton from carrying on with her daily activities. The 25-year-old was recently photographed leaving her parents house (she reportedly flashed a huge smile at waiting photographers) for her own London flat. She was later caught by paparazzi carrying a tennis racket and smiling again as she walked … Continue reading

Prince William Suddenly Single

So much for that December royal wedding some were predicting… British tabloids took a hit today after several media outlets confirmed that Prince William and his longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton decided to call it quits. According to The Sun newspaper, the couple reached an “amicable agreement” to separate, though a spokesman at the prince’s office refused to comment on the break up. The 24-year-old prince and his 25-year-old girlfriend met as students at St. Andrew’s University in Scotland in 2001 and first started dating in 2003. They briefly split for about five months a couple of years ago, but got … Continue reading

Prince Harry going to War?

The Daily Mirror is reporting that Princess Diana’s youngest son, 22-year-old Prince Harry, is set to go to Iraq very soon. It is believed that the Defense Secretary Des Browne will make the announcement on February 26th. The royal family has not made a comment on the report and the Defense Ministry had said it was speculative earlier today, but CNN is reporting that a British Military source is saying he will indeed go to war. Prince Harry graduated from the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in 2006. He is known by the 11 soldiers he commands as Troop Commander Wales. … Continue reading
