“Dancing with the Stars” News

Okay, maybe I’m a bit out of the loop, but when I heard that current “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Marissa Jaret Winokur (she’s the one who can’t stop smiling) was expecting her first baby in a few months I wondered why in the world she was shaking and shimming on the hit TV show. Then I found out that a surrogate mother is carrying the baby. AHA! So, to set the record straight the 35-year-old Broadway star and her husband, “King of the Hill” writer Judah Miller, are indeed expecting their first child and say they were lucky enough … Continue reading →

Ro Says No To “O”

Does anyone say no to the fabulous Miss “O?” Apparently, if your name is Rosie O’Donnell the answer is yes. Yes, Ro said no to “O” — as in the legendary talk show queen Oprah Winfrey. In a move that has made headlines around the world (go ahead, roll your eyes), the comedian confirms that she turned down a recent invitation by Winfrey to promote her upcoming autobiography, “Celebrity Detox” on air. O’Donnell says she decided not to go on the No.1 daytime talk show in America because the subject matter in her new book is “too raw.” Oh, puh-leeze. … Continue reading →

Is Rosie Trying To Ruin “The View?”

One might come to that conclusion after noting the former “View” co-host’s timing in releasing excerpts from her new book. And beyond that, the controversial jabs she takes at her former boss Barbara Walters. Oh where to begin… Rosie O’Donnell recently penned a new book called “Celebrity Detox.” (It’s scheduled for publication next month.) In it the comedian speaks out about her tumultuous tenure of “The View” (including her bitter feud with real estate mogul Donald Trump) and her relationship with each of the ladies she sat next to at the “Hot Topics” table—namely show creator Walters. Let’s just say … Continue reading →

Oprah and Madonna Making Headlines… Again

She may be hosting one of the largest fundraising efforts for his wife’s No. 1 rival, but former President Bill Clinton isn’t holding that against Oprah Winfrey.

Celebrities Struggle To Get Their Kids To Eat Vegetables Too

You see them in pictures on the set of their dad’s latest movie or walking hand in hand with their pop princess mom down Rodeo Drive. But what is life like for the kids of celebrity parents when the cameras aren’t around? According to comedian Jerry Seinfeld it’s not all that exciting. Unless you count trying to get young children to eat vegetables exciting. Jerry and his wife Jessica Seinfeld say they spent so much time trying to get the kids (Sascha, 6, Julian, 4, and Shepherd, 2) to eat healthy it wore them out. “We tried bribing them, begging … Continue reading →

Oprah—Father’s Betrayal Cuts Like A Knife

Is he or isn’t he? Well, if he was, he may not be anymore. I’m talking about Vernon Winfrey penning a tell-all about his rock-star famous daughter Oprah Winfrey. According to The New York Daily News, Oprah was reportedly “stunned,” “shocked,” and “devastated” when she heard her dad was allegedly writing a book about her. But, what cut her even deeper is that she learned about the memoir, Things Unspoken, not from her father, but from a gossip column. According to several news agencies, when one of Oprah’s assistants told the legendary TV talk show host that a newspaper was … Continue reading →

Celebrity Mom Speaks Out About Autistic Son

The term “shrinking violet” has never been used to describe actress Jenny McCarthy… and that may be a good thing. If nothing else it certainly helps when she wants to get her message across. These days it’s not just how McCarthy is getting her message across, but rather, the subject matter itself that’s making headlines. This morning the actress and former Playboy playmate revealed on ABC’s “The View” (during her stint as a guest co-host) that she is the mother of an autistic son. “I did want to acknowledge and confirm the fact that my son does, indeed, have an … Continue reading →
