Mario Moves On and Phillippe Pairs Up

It’s over. No really, this time it’s official. According to Mario Lopez, he and Karina Smirnoff have really (really) called it quits this time. And in true Hollywood fashion the sexy “Dancing with the Stars” pro and her former celebrity partner even had their reps issue separate public statements about their now defunct personal relationship. “Karina has parted ways with her two year relationship with Mario Lopez,” says Smirnoff’s spokesperson. “The relationship wasn’t heading in the right direction.” Meanwhile, Lopez issued the following statement through his rep: “Karina and I have the utmost respect for each other.

Jake of All Trades

Hollywood Dads—-Who Are They Kidding?

It’s been more than a year since Ryan Phillippe and his Oscar-winning actress wife Reese Witherspoon split, but only now is the actor speaking out about life post-divorce. The 33-year-old father to the couple’s two children Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4 recently told USA Today that “it’s bizarre” to see photos of his ex-wife and her new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal splashed on the pages of entertainment publications.

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 →

Pizza Hut’s Youngest and Most Famous Delivery Person… Maybe

How ironic is it that when multi-millionaire dollar celebrities provide unsolicited praise for a certain product (e.g. Rosie O’Donnell was never shy about expressing her love for Altoids) the company rewards him or her with a lifetime supply of that particular item? Ironic, because said star could easily afford to buy the lifetime supply on his own. And there’s no way you can rationalize that a 15-second unsolicited endorsement is equivalent to a gift whose retail value is in the tens of thousands of dollars. Well, it just happened again. Having a famous mom with a big mouth sure can … Continue reading →
