Kelly Rutherford is Getting Divorced

January 5th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Daniel Giersch, Kelly Rutherford

kellyKelly Rutherford, who stars on Gossip Girls has been making news lately, first with her newly-announced pregnancy and now with the shocking news that she is divorcing her husband, Daniel Giersch. Who knows if this is an extra dose of pregnancy hormones or what as ‘irreconcilable differences’ always means ‘we just don’t like each other anymore’ to me. Either way, with their 2-year old son Hermes and another on the way, it’s a very sad story indeed. From People,

“Pregnant Gossip Girl actress Kelly Rutherford and her husband of two years, German entrepreneur Daniel Giersch, are calling it quits.

Rutherford, 40, who is three months pregnant, filed for divorce on Dec. 30, citing “irreconcilable differences,” according to papers obtained by PEOPLE.

Giersch filed for legal separation the same day, a source tells PEOPLE.

Giersch and Rutherford, who is expected on the Gossip set in New York Tuesday, also have a 2-year-old son, Hermes.

This is Rutherford’s second marriage.

Rutherford’s rep couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.”

There’s really not too much to say on this one.”

I hadn’t even heard of Kelly Rutherford until just a few weeks ago when it came out that she was still breastfeeding Hermes and I have to say, I’m really not liking her all that much. I do think that irreconcilable differences is a big crock and the fact that this is her second marriage also has me doubting her desire for a real commitment. Who knows though, the fact that he filed for legal separation on the same day does also show some bitterness on his side. That is extremely bad timing for them to get fed up with each other though.

Katy Perry and Travis McCoy: Broken Up!

January 4th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Katy Perry, Travis McCoy

Just weeks after rumors that they were set to walk down the aisle, it’s been confirmed that Katy Perry and Travis McCoy are definitely over. It seems that because Katy has been so busy taking the world by storm hit after hit and Travis trying to do much of the same with his group, Gym Class Heroes, there was just really no time in between any of it to withhold some sort of relationship. As so happens in Hollywood, they started bickering and eventually broke up. From US,

 ”Katy Perry and her Gym Class Heroes beau Travis McCoy have split after a year of dating, a source close to Perry confirmed to Usmagazine.com Friday.

“It’s sad, but they were fighting a lot because they never saw each other and now she is going on tour,” the source told Us. “She just needed a clear head. It’s been non-stop work for her.”
McCoy posted the lyrics to Main Source’s tune “Looking at the Front Door” on his blog about the breakup, which was first reported by Celebuzz.

“We fight every night, now that’s not kosher. I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer. And wake up to be greeted by an argument again, You act like you’re 10…My friends always tell me how I’m lucky to possess the best looking girl in the whole U.S….it seems like just two years back when we were bonded and not pierced, but now I keep itchin’ to jet,” he wrote.

In December, Perry — who gained worldwide fame in 2008 with her hit “I Kissed a Girl” — told Us they weren’t planning a walk down the aisle any time soon.

“Planning a wedding and promoting a record — those two things don’t exist in the same sentence,” Perry told Us. “You have to just enjoy each other because people change, you know.”

I think it might be especially hard when both people get so famous in such a short amount of time. Katy Perry wasn’t even a blip on the map a year ago and now she’s exploded with at least 2 different hit songs out at the moment. I think there’s a lot of issues that go along with that, including getting used to no privacy and working around the clock with tours, promotions, New Year’s Eve gigs in NYC (where she rocked, btw.) It’s probably not the best time to have to be focused on someone else and their needs and so, a relationship could be near-impossible. Either way, the fact that she is also now available may make Katy Perry even more fun to watch and see what kind of trouble she could get into! It seems that with this one, there may be a lot of it!

Jett Won’t Fly Again

January 4th, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in John Travolta, Kelly Preston

It’s so sad that John Travolta and Kelly Preston are meeting 2009 with tragedy as they mourn the passing of their son, Jett Travolta, who died on Friday after seemingly having a seizure while the family was on vacation in the Bahamas. The family has not yet released an official statement and although there are some different theories on the cause of death, it does seem to be a seizure that was the root of his death. US has details,

“John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston are in “unimaginable and unquantifiable” pain over the Friday death of 16-year-old son Jett, a family friend says.

Travolta’s lawyer and close friend, Michael McDermott, and family attorney, Michael Ossi, explain to TMZ.com that it appears Jett’s fatal injury was caused when he hit his head on the bathtub, toilet seat or both.

It’s still unclear if Jett had a seizure that caused him to slip, or if a seizure occurred after he fell. “Not a tremendous amount” of blood was found on the scene, they add.

Police have said that Jett was last seen going into the bathroom Jan. 1, but his body wasn’t found until 10 a.m. on Jan. 2.

But McDermott and Ossi — who are currently in the Bahamas with the Travolta family — say rumors that Jett went undiscovered for hours are completely false. They say it appears Jett was going back and forth to his room, and the injury occurred in a “small window of time” before he was found.
The lawyers also report that a nanny was by Jett’s side around the clock, there was a baby monitor near Jett and the bathroom door chimed every time it was opened.

Although an autopsy won’t be performed until Monday, the lawyers say it appears the cause of death was the striking of Jett’s head.

It’s been reported that Jett had autism, which Travolta has denied — instead saying Jett was inflicted with Kawasaki Syndrome (the six-year-old son of Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell has the same diagnosis), which can lead to heart disease.

Travolta called Jett “my baby” in an interview with the Australian media several years ago.

“He’s my first, and he’s my heart. And he’s a very special boy,” Travolta said. “He’s Daddy’s boy. And…we spend a lot of time together even though I’m pretty busy.”

It’s sad that barely even 24 hours has passed since this young boy’s tragic death and already, theories are being talked about and there’s a certain air of controversy surrounding the story. Whether or not Jett had autism or another disease, or whenever the body was found, for now I hope that we can all take just a moment to feel for this family and try to give them the privacy to mourn that they will undoubtedly need.

Shocking New Couple Alert!!

January 3rd, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, George Clooney, Paris Hilton

So what would you think about it if Paris Hilton hooked up with George Clooney? It’s an odd combination but one that I might not be all that uncomfortable with. Paris turns into whoever she’s dating - she was the proper princess when she was engaged to that clone of hers, she became a rocker chic when she hooked up with Benji Madden and I think she’ll become a nice mixture of the two if this thing with Georgey-Boy keeps going much longer. He’s got a small bad-ass side of him but he’s also so incredibly charming and can be just as proper as Paris when he needs to be. Never mind the fact that both of them are so incredibly hot that I think they’ll look amazing together. From Celebedge,

“Paris Hilton is reportedly dating George Clooney.

The socialite fuelled speculation of a romance after recently enjoying an “intimate” evening with the ‘Burn After Reading’ star at the Whiskey Bar at the Sunset Marquis hotel in Hollywood, according to Life and Style Weekly magazine.

A source said: “Paris and George sat and talked together for ages. They didn’t seem to be aware of anyone else in the room.”

The following evening, Paris, 27, was seen sitting beside 47-year-old George at a dinner at a Hollywood restaurant, with other guests including director Ridley Scott and Brittany Flickinger, winner of ‘Paris Hilton’s My New BFF’ show.”

The only problem I can actually see with these two hooking up is the fact that George Clooney is 20 years Paris’ senior. But I think I can get over it. I overcame any issues with age when Demi Moore hooked up with Ashton Kutcher.

J.Lo and Marc will Celebrate Valentine’s Day

January 2nd, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Guy Ritchie, Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, Marc Anthony

By singing a duet together and then getting a divorce. You gotta hand it to the stars these days who think that it’s appropriate to plan out when you’re going to get divorced, and then decide on huge, grand gestures to end the marriage with - such as singing a duet together just before you sign the final divorce papers. Yes, this is very reminiscent of Madonna and Guy Ritchie. From Celebitchy,

“Marc and Jennifer are planning on announcing their divorce right after Marc’s show at Madison Square Garden on Feb. 14,” a friend of the couple tells us. “Jennifer is planning on joining Marc onstage for a surprise duet. Things haven’t been right for a while now, and they thought it would be a bittersweet farewell.”

Definitely one for theatrics in arenas, J.Lo confessed her pregnancy at a sold-out show in Miami during her El Cantante tour in November 2007 and will employ the same shock value a second time around.

“They’re definitely planning a clean break in February,” the source insists.”

The more I hear about this story the more I believe it. It doesn’t surprise me that either of these divas want to do something huge and dramatic to end their marriage but I think they did enough of that when they had twins together and couldn’t even stick it out till the little ones’ birthdays.

Joel and Nicole will be Busy

January 2nd, 2009 | Comments Off | Posted in Joel Madden, Nicole Richie

It wasn’t that long ago when it was announced that Joel Madden and Nicole Richie would be wed on their daughter, Harlow’s, first birthday and it seems that they may be planning another big event for the occasion as well - another conception. Well, these two certainly like to get things done all with one shot, don’t they? From Pop Crunch,

“Nicole Richie has adopted a lifestyle rich in vitamins and designer maternity wear in preparation for her second pregnancy.

According to a report featured in the January 12 issue of Star Magazine, the former reality star and longtime boyfriend Joel Madden are trying to get pregnant just weeks shy of daughter Harlow’s first birthday.

“Nicole simply told Joel that she wants another baby —right away,” says a friend. “He was a little overwhelmed at first, but now he’s with her 100 percent. They’re both thrilled about adding to their family.”

Nicole and Joel went through a “rough patch, but now things are amazing between them,” says the source. “Nicole knows it’s because they’re both so happy with Harlow, and she truly believes another baby will double their commitment.”

I personally don’t see anything wrong with these two getting pregnant again but I also don’t recall them going through any sort of rough patch. They’ve both seemed to be pretty happy and on-board the parent-train with Harlow that I think they’re both pretty good parents. I don’t think a baby should ever be relied on to provide the happiness in their parent’s marriage - that’s a lot of pressure! I also think that Joel and Nicole do need to both make sure they’re fully onboard with the whole idea - if you have to be convinced to have a baby, you probably aren’t ready to have one.

Kevin Bacon Might be Broke

December 31st, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick

Bernie Madoff, who is a big Wall Street guru, was charged just recently on December 11 for fraud and it seems that among others such as Steven Spielberg, Kevin Bacon and his wife, Kyra Sedgwick may be the most recent victims of his crimes. Madoff was involved in a Ponzi scheme, which is collecting money from investors and paying off the old investors with money from the new. While the total estimated amount of fraud that Madoff is being charged with equals about 50 billion, Bacon may have contributed to a lot of that as it’s rumored that he has lost just about everything he and his wife have. From The Evil Beet,

“Kevin Bacon’s rep, Allen Eichorn, confirms that his client and wife Kyra Sedgwick are victims of Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. There have been rumors that they lost everything except their checking account.
Eichorn responded to the rumors by saying “Please, let’s not speculate or rely on hearsay.”

Hopefully we’re dealing with two people here who are smart enough not to sign away their life’s savings and from his rep’s statement, it sounds as though it may not be as bad as it’s rumored to be. I wonder how much celebs keep in their checking account anyway. I would think that it would be enough to keep you going for a little while. But it really is too bad if it is true. Kevin and Kyra are known as two of the nicest people in Hollywood.

More Britney Dating Rumors

December 31st, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Britney Spears

Everybody wants Britney Spears to hook up with somebody it seems and she can’t even be spotted with someone of the opposite gender and not have people whispering about it. Now reports are coming out that she may be dating her choreographer, Sandip Soparrkar. The two apparently became close while he worked with her on her video for “Womanizer” and she likes him so much that she even chose to spend 3 days over the holidays with him on a romantic holiday. From Gossip Girls,

“According to a inside source, the 27-year-old pop singer is well on her way to an international romance with the Bollywood instructor. “It’s early days yet but their romance is going from strength to strength. Britney and Sandip tried to keep their trip to India a secret as they are determined to have a relationship just like any other couple.”

The source continued, “Sandip is very down to earth and keeps Britney grounded. He is also quite spiritual and sensitive, which is a side of him she adores.”

And over Christmas, Brit and Sandip enjoyed a romantic date together. “For Christmas, Sandip - or Sandy as Britney calls him - presented her with a traditional Indian sari. She wore it during a candlelit dinner. The pair were whispering and giggling all night. Sandip ordered local delicacies such as chicken tikka and cottage cheese curry. They were really cute together.”

Britney has got to realize by now that no matter who she is with or how low-key they keep things, she is never going to have a relationship like a normal couple ever again and any man that is with her needs to realize the same thing. However, maybe she could if she really settled down with someone serious and kept drama out of things for a little while. Then she may have a chance that people will become bored with the relationship but even that possibility is very small. But since ‘Sandy’ does sound very tame and non-intense, this could be a good thing for Britney. I do think that she’s had enough time to recover and her health has made a vast improvement over the past year. If she thinks it’s time to move on and find someone to share things with, someone like Sandip may just be the right person to do that with.

Angelina Told another Pregnancy may be Unsafe

December 31st, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt

As much as I hate Brangelina, it must be difficult to hear the news that you may never be able to have more biological children, as Angelina has reportedly been told. OK! Magazine recently reported that a ’source’ has revealed information that because of Angelina’s health issues in her past that another pregnancy may be very dangerous. From OK!, 

“OK! has learned that because Angie’s last two pregnancies were so fraught with complications, she has been advised to wait a long time before getting pregnant again – or not to get pregnant at all.
“Her previous pregnancies ended with emergency caesarian sections,” an insider tells OK!. “She’s been told that, at the least, she should not get pregnant for a year after her last deliver, and it would be safer if she did not get pregnant, ever.”

The health complications this time around could pose a direct danger to the Changeling star, Dr. Larrian Gillespie, who has not treated Angie, tells OK!.

“Angelina is at risk of having a stroke or heart attack, and because she developed gestational diabetes, there is a high risk she’ll have it again, with the child being at risk for diabetes.”

Not being a biological mom again might be hard for Angelina, as she revealed to Vanity Fair last year that she loves being pregnant.

“It makes me feel like a woman,” she said. “Also, I happen to be with someone who finds pregnancy very sexy.”

The only reason I have trouble believing this story is because the doctor who is warning Angelina against another pregnancy has never even treated her so how can one possibly make any sort of prognosis on how her body would react to another pregnancy. She has had health issues in past pregnancies and with the twins she did have all kinds of problems but twins are always a high-risk pregnancy anyway. In any case, I definitely think that it’s something that can only be decided between Angelina, Brad, and her doctor. I don’t like the idea that other people are speculating about the state of her health when they’ve never even seen her.

Madonna dating someone who’s new, young, and a porn star?

December 31st, 2008 | Comments Off | Posted in Jesus Luz, Madonna

I guess this New Year’s Eve will really have Madonna getting rid of the old and ringing in the new as it’s rumored that she’s dating someone new. Bye, bye A-Rod? Who knows but it’s said that this new boy toy is not only the mere age of 20 but that he’s also had his own part to play in a low-budget cable television porn movie. Not only does he act in porn but it’s not even good quality of porn…just a little something that any Brazilian can watch should they be up at that hour and subscribe to the local cable company. This should do great things for Madonna I’m sure. From Bump Shack,

“Madonna is rumored to be “dating” hot Brazilian model Jesus Luz, who she met at a photo shoot for W Magazine just last month and later joined her for the Brazilian “Sticky & Sweet” tour.
The young model guest-starred in an episode of a late-night Brazilian TV series in which a trio of actresses bring to life sex tales sent in by viewers.

Jesus, 20, plays Diogo, who is taken to a house party by his girlfriend but passes out on a chair after drinking too much. Once the party ends, his randy girlfriend starts flirting with another man.

She tries to raise Diogo and takes his top off, with the intention of having a threesome. But when he doesn’t come to, the frustrated girl has sex with the other man in front of him. With his toned torso on show, Jesus wakes up but his character is too drunk to make out what is happening.”

I don’t really care all that much about Jesus Luz but what I do care about is what is happening between A-Rod and Madonna. Have they broken up? Is it because of this new young model/porn star? Or does this affair mean that the rumored affair between A-Rod and model Melissa Britos is also true? Or is this entire thing a complete fabrication? Who knows but I don’t think anything Madonna does is of any shock to anyone anymore. I think that both flings are probably both really happening and that they are probably both just that - flings. Slimy A-Rod and Madge will find their way back to each other, don’t you worry. As to whether or not Jesus is a tame porn star who doesn’t even fully undress in a poor quality cable porn movie? Small indiscretions in a Hollywood world of so much scandal.
