Celebrity “REAL” or “RUMOR”—Sheridan/Bolton Nuptials on Hold and a Pregnant Nicole Kidman

Are they or aren’t they? Despite RUMORS to the contrary “Desperate Housewives” star Nicollette Sheridan says she still intends to marry fiancé Michael Bolton. The couple’s recent trip to the Caribbean sent the rumor mill into overdrive. One tabloid had the couple married and Sheridan pregnant with Bolton’s baby while others reported that the longhaired pair was on the road to splitsville. Turns out neither are true. Sheridan cleared up the erroneous reports by telling the U.K.’s Mail on Sunday the only thing holding up the nuptials is the venue. “We haven’t decided where, and as soon as we make … 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

Celine Dion Says So Long to Sin City

So much for wanting to get my mom tickets to see Celine Dion perform live in Las Vegas. Last night the 39-year-old French-Canadian singing sensation took her final bow on the Caesars Palace stage that she has called home for the last five years. Dion performed 717 shows in Caesars’ $95 million, 4,100-seat Colosseum, which was designed and created specifically for her five-year engagement. In return, the singer walked away with more than $160 million—-a record for a live entertainer. But that’s peanuts compared to how much Dion’s show “A New Day…” has grossed since opening in Vegas in March … 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. Less than a week after actress Katie Holmes trudged 26.2 miles in the New York City Marathon her accomplishment is being tarnished by a wave of angry runners who were not allowed to compete in the prestigious running event. Tens of thousands of avid runners sent angry correspondences to race officials asking why Suri’s mom was admitted to the race when 60,000 hopefuls were denied. According to TV’s Access Hollywood Tom Cruise’s better half was allowed to run as a VIP. … Continue reading

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

Katie Holmes vs. the New York City Marathon

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. Couch jumper and super sweet Suri spent more than five hours waiting for Mama Katie to complete the 26.2-mile race that weaved through the streets of Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Manhattan. 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

The Evolution of Celebrity Couples

DATING Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem may have a hard time denying rumors that they are an official couple after the world sees how cozy they were during a recent vacation in the Maldives. Earlier this week paparazzi snapped dozens of shots of the Spanish actors in their swimsuits frolicking and cuddling together on the beach bordering their hut in the Maldives. The pair was first linked a few months ago, but back then Cruz (Tom Cruise’s former flame) denied a relationship existed. “It’s not true,” Cruz told reporters this summer. “He’s a friend and the best actor in the … Continue reading

Celebrity “Real” or “Rumor” Suri the Breadwinner and Nicole’s Wedding

SURI THE BREADWINNER Goodness knows she doesn’t need the exposure or the money… Regardless, a rumor has been circulating on the Internet that the adorable spawn of Tom Cruise and his robo-wife Katie Holmes is the new face of Baby Gap. RUMOR! At least according to Cruise’s rep, who finally acknowledged that some people actually believed Cutie Cruise had signed a lucrative contract with the kids clothing company. The rumor is “totally untrue,” the actor’s publicist announced today. Reports about the alleged contract have been circulating online for weeks. There’s no denying that super sweet Suri’s face could sell just … Continue reading

Celebrity Cheapskates

I’m sure you are familiar with the phrase: “To Whom Much is Given, Much is Expected.” Apparently, either some of Hollywood’s biggest names are not as familiar with the saying or they simply choose to ignore it. Case in point, online forums are buzzing with the low down on the latest list of celebrity cheapskates. Topping the list… two names that shocked me: Katie Holmes and new BFF Victoria Beckham. It appears that Mrs. Moneybanks, pardon me, Mrs. Tom “Moneybanks” Cruise, is only generous to people she works with… forget about the people who simply work for a living. According … Continue reading

So Much Ballyhoo About The Beckham’s

In the course of my daughter’s recent illness she has gotten into a pattern of wanting a full body massage at around 2 a.m. It’s around this time that I switch on the news (mute it) and read the headlines that scrawl at the bottom of the screen. I have been shocked that for the past three nights one of the top stories has been David and Victoria Beckham’s move to America. The British soccer star and his “Spice Girl” wife’s move from England to California has been covered by all the major networks, the cable channels, and extensively by … Continue reading
