Kevin Bacon Might be Broke

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

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

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?

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.

More on Sam, Michael, and Lindsay

I really don’t know who isn’t sick to death just yet of the whole Samantha Ronson/Lindsay Lohan/Michael Lohan ordeal but I’m getting tired of all the media whores that are constantly cropping up on the scene and these are 3 people that just won’t quit. Lindsay recently blogged about just finding out that her daddy is also someone else’s daddy and she never knew that before. Why something like this is being taken to a blog when Lindsay has said in the past that she wants people out of her personal life, I’m not too sure. Samantha, Lindsay’s girlfriend then gets dragged into it when Michael, Lindsay’s dad, accuses Sam of writing the post and not really his daughter. Of course, Sam can’t let that rest and is now denying any such accusation. Seriously?!? Who has time for these stupid tantrums and making sure that the last word is always yours? From Celebrity Dirty Laundry,

“Michael fired back, admitting he believed there was a “99 per cent chance” the posting was actually written by Ronson. But the Sam has laughed off the claim, insisting it was indeed written by Lindsay. She tells New York gossip column PageSix.com, “Ha! That’s funny, but I don’t ghost-write MySpace blogs. Good thing he left that one per cent window open so he wasn’t 100 per cent wrong for once.”

I had many doubts that Sam was behind anything written on Lindsay’s blog but Michael also didn’t stop there. He then starts talking about the truce that he and his daughter have - which I also find extremely difficult to believe seeing as how Lindsay has made it quite clear that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. From US,

“There is a truce between Lindsay and I, so please stop adding any fuel to the fire,” he blogged on his new official site, MikeLohanOnline.com, Monday.
“I respectfully ask that all sources, so called friends and mouthpieces refrain from any more comments or suggestions on her blog,” he wrote.”

I love how he asks people to stop talking on her blog, since that’s exactly what blogs are for and really, he’s the one who’s always added fuel to the fire and if he wants the sparks to die down some, he may want to shut his trap and try fading into the background for a little while. And I used to be on Linday’s side in all of this but it seems to me that she could also use a lesson in keeping certain things to herself.

Brady May Not be Officially Off the Market

It was reported just over the past couple of days that New England Patriot star, Tom Brady, had proposed to his girlfriend, Gisele Bundchen, on Christmas Day. The story was reported everywhere and was amongst the major headlines of the day but now reps from both camps are claiming that the story just isn’t true. From Daily Blabber,

“Rumors were flying that football star Tom Brady had proposed to supermodel Gisele Bundchen on Christmas, complete with details. Supposedly there were four dozen roses, champagne and Gisele’s parents on a plane somewhere in NJ, where the asking took place. But Tom’s family is saying that this is a lot of baloney.

“Rumor, rumor, rumor … We don’t know a thing about it,” Tom Brady Sr. told The Boston Globe on Friday. “Nobody told me. We talked to him and there’s nothing to say.”

Gisele’s sister also called the ring talk “not true.”

The fact that it’s both Tom’s dad and Gisele’s sister claiming that all of this is garbage really does make me think that it’s true that no proposal ever took place. Either that, or there’s going to be some very angry people on both sides of the family since no one knew about it. But since the story also claims that Gisele’s parents were on the same plane where the whole blessed event took place, I doubt that this is a case of a secret engagement. For all those ladies who had their hearts broken on Christmas Day when this news came out, there’s probably no real reason to worry….just yet. These two will marry soon enough.

Jen Beats Brad!!

It was widely talked about that yesterday, on Christmas Day, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt both had movies coming out. While Jen was starring in a cute dog comedy, Pitt was taking on a more serious role in a dramatic film. The world waited to see who would emerge victorious and I, of course, was desperately hoping that Jen would take it and show Brad that he wasn’t all that after all. Jen herself, of course, was much more tactful and graceful about it on Oprah when she said, “Can’t it be a tie?” Well, she almost got her wish with the preliminary figures showing that Jen beat Brad by a mere $2.8 million. But still, in the end, Jen won, as always. From Gossip Girls,

“Coming out on top in the battle of Christmas Day movie releases, Jennifer Aniston’s dog-based drama “Marley & Me” beat out Brad Pitt’s age-defying film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” at the box office on Thursday (December 25).

With the preliminary numbers just in, Miss Aniston’s film was the top grossing release of the day with $14.6 million in ticket sales, while her ex-hubby’s fantasy flick came in second at $11.8 million.”

It’s not surprising that Aniston’s film did so much better than Brad’s and I don’t think it has a lot to do with their personal lives (except for in my case, in which it’s always about their personal lives.) I just think that on Christmas Day, people would much rather go and see a feel-good movie rather than an intense drama that features a weird midget old man that turns young. Whatever the reason, Jen won and Brad lost, so there.

Another Nasty Divorce

I think it was probably assumed when Kate Walsh announced that she was getting a divorce from her husband of 15 months, Alex Young, that it would be a quick thing and really not much would be heard of it again. Really, they were married for about 5 seconds and so really, how messy could it get? Apparently, very messy when one person decides that they just can’t get over their own damn pride. Such is the case with Kate Walsh. Maybe it’s because there were rumors that she was spending too much time with her costar David Sutcliffe and Kate didn’t like the insinuation but she has now counter-filed for divorce. Which is pretty much saying, “You can’t divorce me, I’m divorcing you!” Which is so mature. She also may have been much unhappier in the marriage than it was originally thought. Apparently she did a pretty good job of putting on a show as the happy housewife. From Celebitchy,

“Getting dumped was the best thing that ever happened to Kate Walsh! Less than two weeks after her husband, Alex Young, filed for divorce, Kate couldn’t be happier.

“She feels like a major weight has been lifted from her back,” a source tells Star. Instead of moping around in her fuzzy pajamas, the Private Practice star has spent time buying flowers, redecorating, planning a vacation and generally acting like a fabulous single woman.

“Kate never wanted to get married,” a source reveals. “She just felt she had to because she turned 40 and her family was pressuring her.”

After a whirlwind seven-month courtship, Kate, 41, married 20th Century Fox exec Alex Young, 38, in September 2007. But their romance quickly soured.

Kate regretted the marriage, but she smiled for the cameras. “Alex was too controlling,” the source adds. “He wanted her to be a perfect little Martha Stewart wife, but she’s not like that. After a few months, she started thinking, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’”

I don’t really blame Kate for having her marriage turn out to be something completely different than what she thought it would be. That happens. But it’s also more likely to happen if you marry someone 7 months after knowing them. I also think there’s a huge issue that needs to be addressed if a 40-year-old woman can get married because she’s feeling pressured. I don’t care who she’s feeling it from, she’s 40 for cryin out loud! It really makes her sound sort of pathetic.

First Pic of Baby Bronx!

Staying true to the way these two have always led their personal lives, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz took to their blog over the holidays to not only send season’s greetings to their fans but to also debut the first pics of their newborn son, Bronx Mowgli. This picture along with the following message was posted on the blog (from Bump Shack),

“Happy Holidays
To all our friends!
Love Pete, Ashlee and Bronx

We decided to share the best gift we could ever receive with you: Bronx Mowgli Wentz. We couldn’t be happier. And in the spirit of the holidays, we’d like to encourage you to give on your own. Below is a list of worthwhile charities that need your support:

www.theirc.org | www.roomtogrow.com | www.richiemaddenfoundation.com”

This is one of those things that this couple is famous for doing that really makes you want to like them. And then Pete opens his mouth and it all changes all over again. You can’t get a really good look at Bronx in this pic but he’s a newborn and they all really do look pretty much the same. I do though, love the look on Ashlee’s face, very sweet.

Is there trouble in Courteney’s and David’s marriage?

The marriage of Courteney Cox and David Arquette has always seemed to be one of those rare ones in Hollywood that is full of love and laughter and in which the couple is made up of two very real and honest people. But Celebrity Baby Scoop ran an interview that Courteney has done recently in which she lets us in a little bit on what married life is really like for them. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“I don’t like to make plans because it makes me feel trapped, whereas he likes to know exactly what he’s doing; he’s happier with defined boundaries. But we have a good balance. He’s got the best heart, he’s so giving, he’s smart and creative and he’s gorgeous. Even though he acts kooky, David is as grounded as anyone I’ve ever met.” Courteney goes on to discuss marriage in general: “Is marriage for ever? I think you get married with the intention that it will be, but who knows? I get shocked by people getting divorced all the time, that’s why I choose to work on it. Therapy helps us. It’s so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work. I suppose you can work it out by talking to each other – I would just prefer to have a referee, it reminds us why we’re together.” Courteney outlined how her own parents divorced when she was a child. “Before my dad died, he said one of his big regrets was that he hadn’t worked on their marriage enough. I don’t know what the future’s going to hold, but divorce isn’t really an option.”

It’s sort of confusing because you can tell that she loves him very much yet, there seems to be an undertone here that says it’s just not working out. I don’t think that happy couples need to be reminded of why they’re married to each other. I think it’s there clear as day every morning when you wake up next to each other. Or at least it should be. I also don’t agree that it’s easy for people to grow apart when they’re living a life together, unless they rarely see each other which in the case of celebrities, is most likely the case. As far as divorce being an option, I don’t think it ever is until there are no others. And she talks about is so passively that it seems as though she might actually want to get divorced but doesn’t want to say the words. I don’t know, the interview got weird when she started talking about her marriage and although I think she was being honest, I think there may also be problems here that haven’t quite come to the forefront just yet. Read the rest of the interview here where Courteney talks about Jennifer Aniston, her daughter Coco, work, and plastic surgery.
