Paris, Paris, Paris

Oh yawn. Really, when is Paris going to realize that she has nothing worthwhile to say and just shut her big yap. It seems that when she’s not busy groping Doug Reinhardt, she’s busy twittering about how she’s sick of all the rumors and now she’s out to debunk the current one - that she was kicked off a friend’s yacht for not being able to keep it in her skirt while at a party with - guess who? Of course, Dougy-Boy. From Pop Crunch,

“Paris Hilton not welcome on a yacht? Puhleeze! The fame-seeking heiress has taken to her MySpace Blog to debunked reorts that she and boyfriend Doug Reinhardt were kicked off a yacht in Cannes last week for some stomach-turnng public displays of mating.

Paris writes: “That story some tabloid ran about my boyfriend and I on a yacht is such a lie that it’s a joke! That was my good friend’s boat and first of all she would never ask me to leave and second of all I would never do that.”

The heiress goes on to complain about the media creating bogus stories about her. So what else is new? She adds, “It’s so lame that people will just create these crazy stories. I can’t believe the stories people will make up, so gross! I’m so sick of all these false rumors, it’s not fair that writers can get away it. They have no credibility.”

Okay, so people ‘making stories up’ is gross? What exactly then do you call having not one, not two, but three sex tapes?! And they have no credibility? Again, I feel I must go back to the sex tape argument. Seeing as how the story goes that Paris and Doug were kicked off because they tried to get it on in the bathroom of the yacht, I’m totally buying this story despite the fact that it’s no more credible or less disgusting than Paris herself.

Mike Tyson Loses His Daughter

It’s only May and already this year has seen far too many tragedies occurring to children of celebrities. The world lost John Travolta’s son Jett in January and now after a very sad accident Mike Tyson has also lost his daughter. Exodus Tyson got tangled up in a treadmill cord yesterday morning and just over 24 hours later, she was pronounced dead this morning. From People,

“Boxing champ Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter Exodus died Tuesday in a Phoenix hospital after accidentally getting her neck wrapped in a cord from an exercise machine at home.

“We are grateful for the tremendous outpouring of love and prayers from all over the world,” Tyson says in a statment. “There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal.”

The child, who had been on life support, was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m. at St. Joseph Hospital and Medical Center, says Phoenix police Sgt. Andy Hill.”

I can’t imagine how hard this kind of loss would be for a family to endure. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mike Tyson and his family and we only hope that they can find some way to recover from this.

Tragedy Strikes Tyson

Another tragic incident involving a child has happened and this time it’s the four-year-old daughter of Mike Tyson, Exodus Tyson. The little girl was strangled by a treadmill cord earlier this morning and is currently on life support. Stories are reporting that Exodus and her brother were watching television in a room that had a lot of exercise equipment in it and Exodus started playing on the treadmill when her head got caught in a loop under the console and started choking her. From US,

“Mike Tyson’s 4-year-old daughter is on life support after being found by her 7-year-old brother hanging from a treadmill cord, according to police.

Exodus Tyson is in critical condition, according to FOX News , which first reported the story.

Exodus was playing near the exercise equipment while her mother was cleaning in a separate room at 10:30 this morning. The mom sent the brother to look for the 4 year old, Fox reports.

After finding her in distress, he alerted his mother, who found Exodus on a treadmill with what has been described as a cable around her neck, according to police, who call it a “tragic accident.”

She immediately took the cable off her daughter, called 911 and began performing CPR.

Exodus was taken to St. Joe’s Hospital.

Tyson was not at home at the time of the incident.”

I can’t even imagine the hurt this family is going through knowing what their little girl has suffered. This is just one of those things that really can’t be described any better than a ‘tragic accident.’ We all hope and pray that Exodus will soon move from critical to stable condition and hopefully we will all know more soon. Our thoughts are definitely with Mike Tyson, the little girl’s mother, and the rest of the family.

Will You Watch Jon and Kate?

The much-anticipated season premiere of Jon and Kate Plus Eight aired tonight and I must say, I thought they’d tip-toe around the issue and try to come off of this perfectly happy married couple that’s just going through a ‘tough time.’ Well they did admit to going through a tough time but there was no talk of a happy marriage or any kind of love they had for each other. This episode truly left me wondering if Jon and Kate Gosselin are going to make it, and even if they’re going to continue for appearances sake, which I was also pretty sure they were going to do.

The episode flicks back and forth between Kate planning the sextuplets’ 5th birthday party and separate interviews with Jon and Kate. Jon’s interviews were quite candid I thought, although he did deny cheating on Kate, which I don’t believe. I thought during his separate interview that he was more trying to plead his case to the public and then when they were finally interviewed together at the end, he was really just trying to find a way out. It seems his arguments are that he resents the fact that it was ‘decided for him’ two years ago that he would quit his job to stay home  with the kids and now he’s mad that Kate’s busy promoting her book and doing tours to care for the kids at home - or be at home at all for that matter. One of Jon’s biggest complaints is that he’s in the spotlight so much and he ‘didn’t sign up for the media show.’

Kate was also busy giving her side of the story in her own interview and I did see from her what I expected. She didn’t say whether she did or did not believe ‘what they’re saying’, referring to the tabloids but she never directly addressed what any of the negative press was. We did see a lot of her organizing the party and complaining about how she was doing it all herself because Jon needed a weekend off. Here she made herself out to be some kind of awesome parent while Jon did nothing at all. She also added that Jon has help and is not doing it all alone. Mind you, that help is not herself - the mother of those children. She continued to blame Jon for the way he acts in the media.

Jon made it pretty clear that he has walked out on the marriage already. Kate said that she ‘is here’, which viewers I guess should take to mean that she wants to work things out and how she will always be there for the kids. Jon also says that he will always be there for the kids and that they both will be but he also adds, ‘married or not’ and continues to make such comments. Kate also talks about the high divorce rate among parents of multiples and how she once thought they would beat all that. It was nice to see a more human side of Kate when she talked about this in particular. 

So what are my thoughts? I think Kate’s a psychobag and Jon’s a cheater. I think they’re both at fault for the marriage falling apart. However, I think Jon sees that it’s over and wants out as fast as possible - from the marriage and the show. I think Kate knows it’s over too but sees all that money leaving too and can’t stand the thought of it. So, what’s going to happen? Will you watch this season to find out? I hate to admit it but, I most likely will.

Jennifer Aniston is Just Like the Rest of Us

It’s no secret that Jennifer Aniston has had her share of problems in the love-life department. She’s probably one of the most followed actresses when it comes to her personal life and ever since her high-profile marriage and divorce from Brad Pitt, people have wanted to know who she’s dating and who’s heart she’s breaking. But sometimes, as we all know, it’s Jen’s heart that gets stomped on and when that happens, it turns out that Jen’s just like the rest of us. She opens her fridge and pigs out, then calls her girlfriends in for a little heart-to-heart time. From Contact Music,

“Jennifer Aniston comfort eats when she is upset.

The ‘Management’ actress fights unhappiness by indulging in her favourite treats, despite usually being careful about her diet.

She said: “I don’t usually eat much, but I head straight to the fridge when I break up with someone. Then I go straight to my friends - there’s nothing like having your girlfriends one phone call away.”

Jennifer admits she often relies on her friends for support and relies on them to keep her grounded.

She added: “Even though fame came all of a sudden, it didn’t come too soon. I had already worked as a waitress in the real world, so I already had my group of friends and I’m still in touch with the same people.

“Only a few of my friends are actresses. In my friends I find unconditional love.”

Man, how I wish that I was one of those friends that she called! She truly seems like one of those people that really is down to earth and easygoing. Plus, I’d love to pig out with Jennifer Aniston!

Sean Penn’s Marriage Drama Over for Now

Sean Penn and his wife Robin Wright Penn are back together as a happy and loving couple after Sean recently filed for divorce. Apparently those papers have been torn up and thrown out and the two have decided to give things another go. Before you get all excited and happy that these two are sticking it out, it’s important to remember that this isn’t the first time these two have been headed to alimony payments and division of assets before deciding to reconcile and work things out. From Daily Blabber,

“Sean Penn and Robin Wright Penn have called off their divorce proceedings — again. According to the NY Daily News, the Oscar winner filed a request in Marin County Superior Court to dismiss their legal separation case, which Sean filed last month.

They couple originally filed for divorce in December 2007, but that petition was later dismissed.

“It was an arrogant mistake,” Sean told the newspaper of their most recent legal split.”

Don’t get me wrong. I’m all for people trying to work out their marriages and I’m always happy to hear that not everybody thinks that divorce is an easy out. But I think in this case, divorce may never have even been an option. I only say that because this is the second time it’s happened and even from Sean Penn’s mouth, it seems as though someone may have thrown a tantrum and had papers drawn up for drama sakes rather than ever really wanting out.

Jessica Biel Talks about Love and Beauty

I really don’t like Jessica Biel but at least now she has given us something semi-interesting to talk about. She has recently opened up to Parade about costarring with her live-in boyfriend, Justin Timberlake, which isn’t so interesting seeing as how that would probably be a pretty boring movie with a pretty boring cast but she’s also recently talked to Allure, where she pretty much said that her beauty was a curse and that it can become a real problem in Hollywood, especially when you’re trying to get jobs. Okay, so now she’s not only boring but she’s stupid too. 

Her latest interview with Parade covered everything from how she stays ‘normal’ to acting with Justin. Here she pretty much gives the ‘yes, I’d love to someday’ response which as I would expect, is a fairly boring answer. From People,

“Jessica Biel has already said she’s looking to expand her resume. Could a future film include boyfriend Justin Timberlake?

“If it was the right thing, yeah, I would love to costar with Justin,” Biel, 27, tells Parade. “I just don’t know what the right thing is, though.”

With a high-profile romance – and a growing career – it would make sense that the Easy Virtue actress would be very involved in the Hollywood scene. But, she says, she and Timberlake would rather just relax together.

“We just hang out at home,” says Biel. “You have to have a real life because of the kind of crazy Hollywood stuff that you can get wrapped up in. It’s so important to have hobbies and girlfriends, and not know people that work in Hollywood.”

So that’s great. As soon as the ‘right thing’ which Jessica doesn’t know what that is, comes up, there’ll be a movie. Great. Can’t wait to see it. In a much more interesting interview, Biel talks about how difficult it is to be so beautiful and how it can really cause a problem when she’s trying to get jobs. From FoxNews,

“It’s not easy being beautiful.

Just ask Jessica Biel, who despite her stunning looks, perfect figure and hot boyfriend, says Hollywood discriminates.

In a new interview with Allure magazine, on newsstands May 26, the “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” actress says that being too good-looking can be a problem for an actress.

“It really is a problem, I have to be blunt,” she says. “I just want an opportunity. If you don’t like the audition, then don’t hire me. But if you don’t want to see me, that’s hurtful.”

Ummm…first of all, I don’t understand where Jessica thinks this fabulous beauty is coming from. I mean, she’s no dog that’s for sure but she’s certainly not stunningly breathtaking and I don’t even think she’s one of the hottest stars in Hollywood. Second of all, I don’t understand why she’s complaining that her beauty makes it hard to get jobs. Isn’t one of the biggest and most common complaints about Hollywood is that it perpetrates unrealistic standards of  beauty - especially in women and isn’t it also a known fact that in order to become an actor or actress, it really helps if you’re easy on the eyes? I don’t understand where this came from. Maybe she was just looking for something interesting to say finally and instead, something stupid came out.

Would You Go to Court Over This?

I have to admit, when Kelly Rutherford first became pregnant and at the same time started divorce proceedings from her husband, Daniel Giersch, I had never heard of the Gossip Girls star. But the more I find out, the more I dislike this woman. At first she came out saying that she’s still breast-feeding her toddler son, which is just gross. I’m sorry, I know it’s controversial but in my humble opinion, it’s gross. Now it seems that’s not the only issue that she’s having with her son. There’s a huge legal battle going on over custody and one of the issues that was brought to court - yes, I said brought to court - was potty training. Yes, I said potty training. Okay, I know people get stupid when emotions are involved but is it really necessary for a judge to preside over potty training? From US,

“Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford and her ex husband Daniel Giersch continued their custody battle of two-and-a-half-year-old son Hermes at Los Angeles County Superior Court in Santa Monica Friday.
The couple — who filed for divorce in January after two years of marriage — are also fighting over a litany of other parenting issues, including when Hermes, who is set to enter preschool this fall, will be potty-trained. (Rutherford has also told Us she continues to breastfeed her son.)

Today, Rutherford and Giersch agreed to have their son wear a pull-up diaper and begin potty training when he “desires.”

Rutherford — who is about eight-and-a-half months pregnant with the couples’ second child, a girl — said her kid began to “change” when his German businessman father tried to potty train him.

“He was coming home saying things. I was starting to see definite changes in him,” she told Usmagazine.com outside court. “One person can’t make that decision.”

When asked if she and Giersch could have an amicable relationship, Rutherford said: “I don’t see it.

“I have tried everything,” she continued. “I have tried mediation. It is too bad for our son.”

Amir Pichvai, the court appointed child attorney for Hermes, said the parents need to work together to “avoid confusion to the child” on the potty-training issue.

Their next custody trial dates are set for July 23, 27 and 28.”

This is just another parenting issue in a long line that concerns me on the part of Kelly Rutherford. I understand that children need to be ready to be potty trained but I think that some parents take it too far and wait for their child to say exactly, “I want to take my diaper off and go in the potty and you’re the greatest parent that’s ever lived” before they start to think about potty training. Honestly, I think kids are a bit more subtle than that and parents sometimes choose not to see it. I also think that you should take another look at yourself as a person if you can’t even handle a simple issue like potty training between two grown adults. And I’m sorry, the kid changed after trying potty training? I find that very hard to believe. Lots of parents try potty training unsuccessfully at first but don’t make it out as though their kids became a completely different person. Please. I’m so over her.

Add Another to the Brady Bunch

Tom Brady really is a man who has it all right now. Not only did he manage to bag Gisele Bundchen and marry her not once but twice, he reportedly also got the supermodel pregnant and the two are now expecting their first child together! The story has not been confirmed yet by the couple’s camp but the rumor has been going around for a little while now and the longer reps take to deny rumors, the more likely that it is they are true. So….can we be expecting a really super cute Brady baby in the near future? Maybe no, maybe so. From Gossip Rocks,

“NFL quarterback Tom Brady has scored again. First, he married beautiful supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and now he’s going to be a dad again, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.

Gisele and Tom had two wedding ceremonies, and now she’s told close friends that she’s expecting their first baby together.

The couple wed in Santa Monica, Calif. in February and then had another small ceremony in Costa Rica in April. RadarOnline.com was first to report that ceremony.”

Imagine what a cute baby that would be! If the rumor is true, this will be the second child for Tom Brady, who also has a son with Bridget Moynahan, who he was dating when he started seeing Gisele. Congrats to the newlyweds!

Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen Act Civil

It’s a sad state of affairs when two parents can sit down to dinner together, act civilly to each other, and it makes news! Well, it made news because it is extremely shocking that Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen could put aside their immature and petty differences, accusations, and special nicknames for each other, to sit down with their daughters and show them how two humans should act. Good for them! It only took them how long to get to this point? From US,

“Believe it or not, we had dinner together with all of us,” Richards — who has two daughters, Sam, 5, and Lola, 3, with her ex — tells E!’s Daily 10. “So I love that… It’s important for our daughters to see us get along and to be able to be in the same room.”

She adds: “I think anytime you go through a divorce it’s such a huge change in your life, and obviously my divorce was very public and it got very nasty… Charlie and I didn’t want that — we didn’t want all the conflict and this and that, and that’s just was the situation was.”

Their dinner even included 43-year-old Sheen’s wife, Brooke Mueller, who gave birth to twin boys in March.

“Brooke and I have always gotten along, so obviously when we went through what we were all going through it was what it was. But I think she’s great with my girls. They love her.”

She adds that she and Sheen — who divorced in November 2006 after five years of marriage — have managed to put their troubles behind them.

“I don’t have a choice but to get past it,” she says. “You know, I don’t read a lot of that stuff obviously — I’m not stupid. I know what’s said in most of it, but it’s just moving forward in my life and at that time when it was really bad in my life, I didn’t think about that stuff. I had to think about, ‘I’m a Mom, I have two daughters that depend on me.’ So I put all that stuff aside and I kind of just live in a little bubble.”

Richards, 38, continues: “I like things very calm and happy.”

This is truly incredible. Do I dare say that Richards has grown and matured? She certainly sounds like it. I’m not excusing a lot of what she did but I do understand that when you’re in the thick of heartache, you can’t always see the bigger picture. It sounds as though she has finally come out of it and although I think that Denise Richards always has and always will live in a little bubble that has nothing to do with reality, I’m glad to see that she has finally decided to grow up a little bit and realize the damage she was doing to her daughters. And from the sounds of it, Charlie has realized all of the same things. Sam and Lola might just have a chance after all!
