Celebrities Unveil New Projects: Olympic Bound Beckham and Animated Lucas

From the soccer field to the roof of one of London’s red double-decker buses, David Beckham will be kicking the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics into high gear this Sunday. According to British newspapers, the international soccer star is on his way to China right now to practice his part in the closing ceremony. When the Games end at Beijing’s National Stadium, the distinction of hosting the Summer Olympics transfers to London in 2012 and Beckham will reportedly be included in the handover segment, which features a surprise finale. The L.A. Galaxy player (and hubby to his spicy wife … Continue reading →

Star Gigs—Inmates Running the Asylum

Anyone who tunes into the 2008 Miss Universe pageant next month has got to wonder who was in charge of casting. The beauty competition is set to air on NBC July 13th and when it does two of the most unlikely people in Hollywood will be presiding over it. Pageant organizers just announced that Jerry Springer and Melanie Brown (a.k.a. Mel B of the Spice Girls) will co-host the annual pretty girl fest. What? Let me see if I’ve got this right… you have a show that is taking place in Nha Trang, Vietnam and being beamed around the world … Continue reading →

Highs and Lows of Stardom

He’s an award-winning actor, a world-famous comedian, and an accomplished author and now the legendary Bill Cosby is adding another line to his resume—recording artist. The 70-year-old actor is just a few weeks away from releasing his first hip-hop album, but don’t expect to hear The Cosby Show star to rap on any of the tracks. The advocate of higher education has long claimed rap has a “negative” influence on society and didn’t want to taint his album with a sound that he says is “profane for no reason.” The actor’s new CD, Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency, … Continue reading →

Now That’s Love

And you thought you loved your in-laws… Super soccer star David Beckham is putting other son-in-law’s to shame with his latest move to prove just how much he loves his wife’s parents. According to new reports, the L.A. Galaxy star just presented his ultra-luxe mansion in Dubai to his mother and father-in-law as a token of his appreciation “for creating the woman he plans to spend the rest of his life with.” I’m not sure if I should cry or gag. Beckham reportedly bought the property for a mere $1.6 million in 2002 – but the waterfront villa, set on … Continue reading →

Holly Jolly Celebrity Gifts—-Spice Girl Style

What did you get from your spouse this Christmas? Soccer star David Beckham gave his Spice Girl wife a gift I found very interesting. Not because it was priced at $1,500, but because it was made of paper and not precious gems. Victoria Beckham’s hot hubby dropped more than a grand to get a fashion book for his famous wife. The expensive (to me anyway—I’m sure $1,500 is stocking stuffer range for the Beckham’s) Christmas present, Valentino Garavani: First Name in Fashion is one of just 2,000 copies made available worldwide. Victoria’s was personally signed by the legendary designer, covered … Continue reading →

Spicing Up Victoria’s Secret and Bye-Bye Femmes

SPICING UP VICTORIA’S SECRET There’s nothing like one-stop shopping. Though, I’m not sure how I feel about CDs being featured in the same display as underwire bras. Leave it to the Spice Girls to spice up an already hot store. The all-female group recently announced it plans to partner with lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret to sell their new 15-track album. The sexy pop group’s deal to sell their Greatest Hits album is exclusive. Which means you can forget about looking for the yet to be released CD at traditional music stores. The singers’ rationale behind the one-of-a-kind deal: “They do … Continue reading →

Hot Concert Acts Sell Out in Seconds

Thirty-eight seconds to be exact. That’s right; in less time than it takes to warm up a cup of coffee tickets for the Spice Girls London reunion show completely sold out. And, wait until you find out how long it took for Miley Cyrus’ concerts to sell out. More on “Hannah Montana” later… let’s discuss those spicy Brits first. The all-girl group hasn’t performed together in nearly a decade (Geri Halliwel, a.k.a. “Ginger Spice,” quit, citing “differences in 1998), but who knew their popularity would rival acts such U2, Michael Jackson and Bruce Springsteen (all who remain in the record … Continue reading →

Celebrities in Crisis

Looks can be deceiving… I always thought actor Dylan McDermott and his wife Shiva Rose had it all. They are both incredibly good-looking; they both have successful careers in Hollywood; and they have two healthy and adorable kids… what more could you ask for? Apparently, something must be missing because today their rep told the media that after nearly 12 years of marriage the couple has decided to separate. The actors have been married since 1995 and have two daughters, 11-year-old Collette and 2-year-old Charlotte. So what went wrong? The couple’s rep is staying tight-lipped, but you have to wonder … Continue reading →

Familiar Faces Return For New TV Season

The new fall TV season can’t come soon enough—especially for couch potatoes who are tired of sitting through endless summer reruns. (I’m on “Big Brother” overload myself.) Hang in there TV fans, we’re just a few short weeks away from the new season and to get the excitement brewing I’ve got a rundown on some familiar faces making their way back to the small screen. Take a look: DREW LACHEY The former 98 Degrees member turned “Dancing with the Stars” champ is reuniting with the judges who helped him earn that tacky mirrored disco-ball trophy. As I mentioned in a … Continue reading →

Stars Receiving Medical Attention

He hasn’t even been on the job for a week and Drew Carey has already suffered his first “Price Is Right” related injury. Attack of the Big Wheel! Well, not exactly. According to show execs, Carey’s arm got caught in the revolving turntable on the Grocery Game during a recent rehearsal. (Can you imagine if it happened on air?) Show producers say the comedian turned game show host was taken to the hospital as a precaution and is now sporting a “soft cast” and nursing a few bruises. Carey says he is feeling better and has been reportedly showing off … Continue reading →
