Clay Aiken Blogs, Patrick Swayze Experiences a “Miracle,” and Amy Adams is Engaged

He is almost a dad himself, but Clay Aiken is blogging about a recent UNICEF trip he took to Somalia and Kenya. He talks about how the violence in each country has left thousands of children homeless. Even as things are looking better, many children have not returned to school. Aiken wrote, “Getting children back to school is vital for their protection, and helps build a sense of normalcy in their lives. The re-establishment of schools in the most difficult circumstances is a testament to the commitment of UNICEF and to Kenyans.” He went on to say that every child … Continue reading →

Salma Makes Like Princess Diana and Miley Makes Like Oprah

After repeatedly denying on Oprah that she planned to legalize her relationship with billionaire boyfriend Francois-Henri Pinault, Salma Hayek is making two things very clear: Yes, she will be marrying Pinault before her daughter’s second birthday and yes; it will be one of the most spectacular ceremonies the world has ever seen. Only most of us will likely only see pictures of it… if we’re lucky. Sources close to the couple say Hayek will marry her baby’s father in a massive five-day-long wedding ceremony in Pinault’s native France. Expenses for the St. Tropez ceremony are estimated to exceed the $3.5 … Continue reading →

Celebrity Splits: The Curse of the Other Woman

It’s no secret that Shania Twain and her husband, music producer Robert “Mutt” Lange are headed for divorce court, but since the shocking news broke last week enquiring minds have wondered what drove the two apart. Now it appears the truth is slowly coming out and it can be summed up in two words: Another Woman. According to several publications, Lange’s comment about the demise of his 14-year relationship with Twain being “a growing apart, that’s all” might only be a half-truth. Sources close to the couple say the real truth is that Lange was having an affair with Marie-Anne … Continue reading →

Celebrity Milestones—A New Bride, A New Job, and More

A NEW BRIDE Growing up my brothers and I would occasionally watch “Full House.” The sitcom that catapulted the Olsen twins to fame stuck around for eight seasons and had a loyal following. But, I’ll be honest; while the rest of the country was going gaga over Michelle Tanner (played by the Olsen’s) I thought Jodie Sweetin (who played middle daughter Stephanie) was infinitely more appealing. She was cute… had great hair… and did a great job delivering her lines (as limited as they may have been). Now Sweetin is all grown up and is (as of last week) a … Continue reading →

‘Friends’ Star Seeks Out a Marriage Therapist

I’ve mentioned before that I’m not big on celebrity gossip, but there was a little tidbit that caught my attention when it came down the newswire from United Kingdom. It seems that Courtney Cox (known as Monica Gellar in the series Friends as well as the reporter in the Scream trilogy) has engaged the services of a marriage therapist to help out with her marriage to David Arquette. Apparently, an argument between the couple was caught by the paparazzi during a recent vacation.

What is a Scientology Wedding Ceremony?

Posted on by

Scientology often tops the news because many celebrities follow the tenets of L. Ron Hubbard’s religion. Celebrities make the news and thus Scientology is thrust front and center. Despite the constant appearance in a rash of recent news articles, few do more than speculate, comment or criticize the faith of the Scientologists without actually providing some explanation for what is being commented on. Tom Cruise is among one of the more notable Scientologists in the news of late and a recent report stated that Katie Holmes, his fiancé, is studying Scientology. They will be married in a Scientology wedding ceremony. … Continue reading →

Celebrity Marriages – Lessons We Can Learn – Part III

Ultimately, what we learn from celebrity marriages is that the fairy tale of happily ever after … takes work and it takes commitment. Celebrity marriages are often taking place in the pressure cooker of the limelight. These couples are beset by the stress of being photographed, separated for months at a time while working and more often than not, competing in the same marketplace. If one celebrity’s fame is deemed greater than another’s, then there is the stress of scandal and negative publicity. The accusations, prying eyes and prying stories published may have little relevance in facts, but they can … Continue reading →

Celebrity Marriages – Lessons We Can Learn – Part I

Okay, I’ll admit it – I read the gossip about celebrity marriages just like everyone else. I hate saying that I do that – I feel guilty for prying into the lives of people whether they are famous or not. I think everyone has a right to privacy and I understand that when a celebrity gets married or goes to walk their dog – there are people out there that think that is news. Why? The public wants to know and that’s what makes it news. Why do we want to know so much about the private lives of people … Continue reading →
