Pop Culture Potpourri—Moving On

Did anyone think the strange hook up between comedienne Kathy Griffin and mega-zillionaire Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak would last? Frankly, I seriously doubt either one of them thought they were in it for the long haul. However, I do find the timing of Wozniak’s recent wedding to be quite surprising. According to Griffin, the odd couple split some time ago, but it was just a few weeks ago that she found out that he got married to someone else. Whoa! How’s that for moving on? The comic says, “I got an email last week from him, and he is going … Continue reading

Aha! The Truth Finally Comes Out… Or Not

Britney’s little sister led the way (in 2007 anyway) and now Jessica’s younger sis is getting in on the latest trend among young Hollywood—courting, conception… then (legal) commitment. A few days ago I blogged about Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz’s decision to tie the knot after 18 months together. Today, OK! Magazine (and a slew of others) is confirming that Jessica Simpson’s 23-year-old sister is expecting her first baby this fall. According to reports, Ashlee will make big sis Jessica an aunt sometime in October. As for the singer’s husband-to-be Pete Wentz, sources say the 28-year-old Fall Out Boy is … Continue reading

Celebrity REAL or RUMOR: Jessica on the Mend, Love’s Baby Bump and NKOTB Ready to Rock NYC

JESSICA ON THE MEND Just in case you care… singer Jessica Simpson is out of the hospital. The former reality TV star was reportedly taken to the hospital late Friday after suffering a fever (yes, a fever). According to reports, the 27-year-old actress was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was later diagnosed with a kidney infection. In Touch magazine is reporting that the singer didn’t want to take any chances with her health since she just returned from Iraq where she performed for the troops. (Wonder if she thought she caught a foreign illness from American soldiers?) And Simpson … Continue reading

Fashionistas Turned Fashion Designers

Oh heck, why not, everyone else is doing it? That was my reaction when I learned Ashlee Simpson just got a gig at Wet Seal as a fashion designer. I wonder what big sis Jessica thinks about her copycat sibling honing in on yet another market she ventured into first? So, yes, the younger Simpson will indeed be launching a collection of T-shirts for the hip retailer. According to Wet Seal execs, Ashlee’s line will feature designs inspired by “her own personality, sense of style and album artwork.” The new collection will launch nationwide on April 22nd-—the same day Ashlee’s … Continue reading

Dumbest Celebrity Quotes…Ever!

As you probably can tell, I love celebrities. In my mind, they are superhuman. They wake up looking beautiful (yes, deep down I know they wake up looking shabby just like I do), they are always taller than they really are, and they are always intelligent. Well, that is until they open their mouths. Here are a few of the dumbest quotes ever uttered out of a celeb mouth: Blondes will be blondes, even if they are fake: Britney Spears – “I get to go overseas place, like Canada” Jessica Simpson – “Is this chicken what I have, or is … Continue reading

D-List Stars Making News: Kathy Griffin Marries and Nick Lachey Heads Back to School

KATHY GRIFFIN MARRIES The loud-mouthed divorcee has tied the knot again… only she’s not the one wearing the ring. Rather, the sitcom star took on the role of minister and married a real life couple last weekend. Two crazy Kathy Griffin fans reportedly asked the “My Life on the D-List” star to officiate their wedding in New York and naturally the sometime talk show host couldn’t turn down the invitation. According to the 47-year-old comedienne, she was ordained through an online church and completed additional paperwork to meet New York State requirements before happily marrying Brian Anstey and Elka Shapiro. … Continue reading

Romeo Romo Trying to Outrun Third Wheel

NFL star Tony Romo has displayed some sweet moves on the field, but they aren’t helping him too much in the romance department. The Dallas Cowboys’ quarterback and his new gal pal Jessica Simpson are reportedly still going strong despite rumors that the singer’s father is constant meddling in their relationship. The former Mrs. Nick Lachey started dating the Pro Bowler two months ago after being set up by her dad Joe Simpson. Apparently, the Simpson family patriarch is a huge Tony Romo fan and wanted his precious daughter to make something happen with the football star. Joe’s attempts at … Continue reading

Do You Believe Jessica is a Jinx?

I think Jessica Simpson should stay out of the state of Texas for a while… and that goes double for Tony Romo. I have no idea where the Dallas Cowboys star quarterback is this morning, but wherever he is he sure isn’t celebrating—not after losing 21-17 to the New York Giants in a key playoff game yesterday. If you watched even a small portion of the game then you know Romo has been catching heat for his relationship with the buxom blonde singer almost since their first date back in November. Things got even more intense when Dallas lost to … Continue reading

Jessica Simpson–Dallas Cowboys’ Public Enemy No. 1 (STILL)

And here I thought Brett Favre was Dallas’ No. 1 enemy. If you read my previous blog then you know that ex-Newlywed Jessica Simpson is not exactly a welcome addition to Tony Romo’s life as far as Dallas Cowboy football fans are concerned. And now it appears she’s not very popular with Romo’s teammates either… or is she? Yesterday, Dallas’ most outspoken player Terrell Owens provided reporters with his own take on Sunday’s Romo/Simpson debacle. (The Cowboys lost 10-6 to the Philadelphia Eagles and the Pro-Bowler had what was statistically the worst game of his career, all while his buxom … Continue reading

Jessica Simpson—Tony Romo’s BAD Luck Charm

I live in Packer Country—-home of pro football’s Green Bay Packers and probably the only place in the world where residents were watching yesterday’s Dallas vs. Philadelphia game as intensely as Cowboy and Eagle fans. The Packers have an unbelievable 12-2 record and fans here are hoping the road to the Super Bowl goes through Lambeau Field. Dallas, whose record is as stellar as Green Bay’s, cracked yesterday and lost to the Eagles. Which means the Packers could secure home field advantage during the playoffs and Dallas could be headed to the Frozen Tundra for a game that could break … Continue reading
