Splitting and Quitting in Hollywood

SPLITTING Don’t look at Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the handsome duo say they aren’t responsible for the split between Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman. The late-night TV host and his funny gal ladylove of five years just confirmed that they are no longer a couple much to the chagrin of a few magazine publishers who had pegged the two as one of the most solid couples in Hollywood. Insiders say the parting of ways comes on the heels of 39-year-old Kimmel’s admission that he would like to be a father “some day soon.” Silverman, 37, has long joked that … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Making It Work

I may be jumping the gun a bit by saying that anything is working right in Lindsay Lohan’s life, but at the very least the likely-to-be-incarcerated actress has removed herself from a toxic environment—Hollywood. According to the latest reports, the 21-year-old has moved back in with her mom Dina in Long Island, New York… at least temporarily. There’s still no word on where the actress has been staying since her July 24 arrest for DUI, driving with a suspended license and drug possession. But, according to the New York Post, Lilo flew first class to Kennedy airport with her younger … Continue reading
