Scientology’s Big Payday and Another Celeb Visits the Psych Ward

Talk about tithing! Nancy Cartwright voices the character of Bart Simpson on “The Simpsons.” I know “The Simpsons” is a very successful show and has been on television for almost 20 years. Knowing these facts, it is no doubt that the people who voice the regular characters on the show make a lot of money. However, I was surprised to learn that Nancy made a $10 million dollar donation to the Church of Scientology last year. For her donation, she was given the Patron Laureate Award. The $10 million it almost two times her yearly salary for “The Simpsons.” The … Continue reading →

Scientologists Making Headlines

I doubt Tom Cruise’s latest gift was given to him because of his affiliation with Scientology, still it serves as another example of how the rich and famous stay rich because they don’t have to buy anything. Cruise’s newest “toy” was gifted to him by Ducati, a company that makes elite motorcycles. According to Ducati officials, Katie Holmes’ hubby will be the first person in North America to own a $72,500 Desmosedici RR superbike bristling with titanium, magnesium and carbon fiber technology that can cruise to speeds that exceed 200 mph. The actor is reportedly a well-known Ducati enthusiast and … 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 →

Celebrity Updates: Miss Pepper-Sprayed Puerto Rico and Mama Katie

It appears Miss Puerto Rico was telling the truth after all. In a previous blog I reported that Miss Puerto Rico Universe, Ingrid Marie Rivera alleged that someone doused her pageant gown and swimsuit with pepper spray during the November 24th contest. Authorities opened an investigation and the news made headlines around the world. Rivera made the rounds on American TV recounting her horrific ordeal. She shared how she had to apply ice bags to her face and body in between turns onstage, and despite her excruciating pain she continued with the competition. Now police say the beauty queen did … Continue reading →

Katie’s Marathon Controversy

Where there are celebrities there is controversy. And she thought she was just taking a jog around Central Park.

Celebrity Update: Katie’s Record Recovery and “Dancing’s” Latest Romance

KATIE’S RECORD RECOVERY Remember those last comments I made about Katie Holmes running yesterday’s New York City Marathon? They don’t compare to the ones I’m about to dish now. Girl just spent 5:29:58 running 26.2 miles in and around New York City, then a few hours later she shows up in high heels for her hubby’s movie premiere. Someone get this girl a doctor! After my first marathon my legs felt like tree trunks that had been absorbing water in a logging camp for months. I could barely sit down in the bathtub. The last (and I mean very last) … Continue reading →

Suri’s mommy finished a marathon. And you can forget about the obligatory medal and Mylar blanket, Katie Holmes cashed in on a bigger prize when she crossed the New York City Marathon finish line today—a congratulatory smooch from her loyal husband Tom Cruise.

Holmes’ official finish time: 5:29:58. As a marathon runner myself I found myself drawn to this story for a number of reasons. First … Continue reading →

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 →
