Is This Weird?

Patrick Swayze’s widow, Lisa Niemi was on Oprah today to talk about the passing of her husband. Now, I really really hate to tramp on anything that a grieving person says but, seeing as how the actor has only been gone for a little over a month, and in combination with some of the things that Lisa said, I’m starting to think that maybe it was just too soon for her to start talking about Patrick’s death. She likened his death to those of the animals that her and Patrick had lost on their ranch…or rather, seemed surprised that it wasn’t like that at all and talked about how she didn’t “feel” him leave. Seriously, did she want to? That sounds really super creepy to me. Like I said, I really do feel for this woman. I myself was deeply saddened by the loss of Patrick Swayze and I only had a relationship with him through my television. I just think that maybe she might have wanted to take some more time before she came onto Daytime to talk about it. From National Enquirer,

“Patrick Swayze widow Lisa Niemi is still grieving the loss of her husband on Sept. 14, but she’s ready to talk about his passing.

In an interview with Oprah Winfrey airing Friday, Niemi explains that watching her husband’s last moments was different than the experiences she’s had with losing animals on their ranch.

“I felt them leave their bodies and it’s always been a light and free feeling because they were out of pain,” she said of the animals. “I was wondering if I would feel the same thing with Patrick. And I didn’t. I didn’t feel him leave when he actually stopped breathing.”

Now, she says, “I feel him here. I feel like he hasn’t left. I can feel every contour of his hand in mine.”

Niemi says that when Swayze starred in Ghost, she thought she would never want to be contacted from beyond the grave like in the movie. But she’s changed her mind. “Now I’m like, ‘Please show yourself. I would love to see you.’”

I do get that whole ’show yourself’ thing, even though if any of my passed loved ones came back and actually showed themselves, I’d probably become paralyzed with fear. But I really don’t get the whole comparing your husband’s death to that of Lassie’s. And I know all of you are going to jump down my throat for believing the National Enquirer but, this was on TV and she said it in front of a nation full of people. So, it is true. I do feel very bad for Lisa. I can’t imagine the pain she’s going through. Maybe that’s the reason for the weird remarks.

Susannah Feldman Files for Divorce

It’s now coming out that Susannah Feldman, the soon-to-be ex-wife of Corey Feldman, has filed for divorce stating that the two have ‘irreconcilable differences.’ The only thing that amazes me about this divorce is the fact that the marriage itself lasted for more than 7 years. Seriously, I was unfortunate to catch that God-awful show The Two Coreys once in awhile and it was nothing but bad. The only thing that seemed right about it was the fact that both Corey Feldman and his wife Susannah were so incredibly immature that they seemed perfect for each other. I guess they couldn’t even count on that. And another thing about this divorce? It’s about to get really, really ugly. Unless of course, Corey doesn’t want to see his kid and doesn’t care how much money Susannah takes from him. From Bump Shack,

“Corey Feldman’s wife Susannah Feldman has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split after more than seven years of marriage. Susannah seeks the sole custody of their 5-year-old son Zen and an unspecified amount of spousal support.

Susannah and Corey got married less than a year after meeting at a nightclub on set of VH1’s reality show ‘The Surreal Life’ back in 2002.”

I really don’t understand why these two couldn’t make it work. I mean, with the immaturity level, and meeting each other at a nightclub on the set of a show, it seems like a romance made in heaven. Please. This one should have landed in the trash bin a long time ago.

Mark and Rhea are Expecting Again!

Wow, that was quick! This past September, Mark Wahlberg and Rhea Durham celebrated the first birthday of their new little boy. And just recently, Mark Wahlberg also announced that he and Rhea are expecting their fourth child! And Mark has also revealed that they already know that the new addition is a girl, which means that Rhea is already well into the pregnancy. But even though Mark and his new bride were quick to have their fourth child, this looks like it’s going to be it for the Wahlberg-Durham clan. From Gossip Center,

“He’s the consummate celebrity family man, and Mark Wahlberg recently announced that he and wife Rhea Durham are expecting their fourth child.

The “Italian Job” actor told press he’s evening out their household as the soon-to-be-born is a girl. “I’m having another girl. So I’ll have two girls and two boys.”

Wahlberg also explained that having a large family isn’t something new to him, as he grew up with a plethora of siblings.

“I’m the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough. We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn’t get the kind of attention I think that we all needed. My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I’ve had in the world, if I fail at that, my life means nothing.”

Congratulations to Mark and Rhea! Can’t wait to see the new little guy!

Are Rob and Kristen Dunzo?

I came across this article in Celebitchy, which originally came from OK! Magazine. The article talks about how Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart have broken up because Rob wants to get married and Kristen doesn’t. But all you girls that are Rob-struck, don’t get too excited.  I’m in total agreement here with Celebitchy when they say that it’s nothing but a load of crap. This is the only source that seems to have this “hot” piece of information and when a story, especially one as juicy as this, is not corroborated by at least a few sources, I already have my doubts. But the fact that they portray Rob as this desperado who just wants to get hitched also has me screaming “Big, Fat Rumor!”

Add to that the fact that Kristen apparently wants Rob to take roots in Hollywood and that Rob wants to stay in the UK, and it just further seems to me that OK! is just trying to sell a few more copies. Really, even if that were true, these two certainly wouldn’t be the first stars that don’t live on the same continent and have still seemed to make it work. And I know that they are almost done filming Eclipse but, there’s still Breaking Dawn that will need to be filmed so it’s not like their time working together, and residing in the same area, is completely over either. From OK! via Celebitchy,

“With Twilight fever blazing as fans count down the days to the Nov. 20 release of New Moon, there’s one thing that’s cooling down in Twi-world — the romance between the films’ stars, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart!

In the new issue of OK!, those close to the superstar pair reveal what drove them apart and whether or not they still have a future.

According to a friend of the couple, R-Pattz has been getting too serious too quickly for the likes of 19-year-old Kristen.

“Rob was talking marriage,” says the source, who explains that the relationship was also stealing all of Kristen’s attention and keeping her from spending time with her friends and family. “She told him they need to take a break.”

Additionally, with Eclipse wrapping this week, there’s been much tension about the logistics of a transatlantic romance, with Kristen wanting Rob to make the move to L.A. and the UK-based hunk preferring to stay far away from Tinseltown.

For all the exclusive details, including Rob’s plan to rekindle their love, pick up the new issue of OK! — on sale everywhere Thursday.”

So sorry to say it girls, but Rob Pattinson probably still is a very taken young man. I really like him too even though I’m not quite gaga over him. And I have to say, that even after all the Twilight films have wrapped, I hope these two find a way to make it work even though they’re both super young and probably won’t end up married or anything. But what can I say? I like him, I like her, and I like them together!

Miley’s Sister is a Prosti-Tot!

Where are the parents of the Cyrus girls?!? It’s not bad enough that Miley is out pole dancing and taking her clothes off for any magazine that will ask for it! But now, Miley’s little sister, and I do mean little, is now dressing like a prosti-tot for Halloween! Okay, I’m not exactly sure what the nine-year-old is supposed to be but it’s clear that she’s not supposed to be something that is suitable for a nine-year-old girl!

This is the outfit that Noah Cyrus was wearing for Dream Halloween, which was an event held in Los Angeles on October 24. Seriously, who thinks this is an appropriate outfit for a girl under the age of 10? Or under the age of 18, for that matter? With the hooker boots, the dress that is just way too short, and the way-too-sexy look of the whole entire thing, I don’t even know where to start! This is just bad parenting, for real! Seriously, when are Billy Ray and Tish Cyrus going to get it together and realize what being good parents is all about? A major first step for them would be to stop promoting their girls as complete and total sluts! This girl is headed for trouble and I think she may actually grow up to be worse than her skanky sister, Miley!

This is One Hookup I Can Get Onboard With!

I’m usually a big cynic when it comes to new hookups in Hollywood. Especially when the two people involved in the hookup are both major stars. Something about those bright lights just seems to me like they’re bound to make anything fizzle out sooner rather than later so I try not to get too excited. But, this is one hookup that I not only loooove but that I really hope will last! The hookup is between Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner! Yes, the country crooner and the Twilight werewolf seem to be hooking up but whether or not they actually are a couple seems to still be up in the air.

US has an anonymous ’source’ that says the two will be completely open about any relationship that blooms from their newfound friendship but that they’re waiting to see if there’s anything there that will actually come to bloom. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift seems to be keeping mum on the subject herself. And when it comes to words from the star’s mouth versus the anonymous source, I tend to go with the former. This is what US has to say,

“Taylor Swift and Twilight’s Taylor Lautner reignited romance rumors when they attended a hockey game together at L.A.’s Staples Center on Sunday.
“They have gotten closer,” a source tells Usmagazine.com. “They talk all the time, [and] they like each other.”

Still, the source says the country singer, 19, and Lautner, 17 — who were also spotted at a Beverly Hills hotel following the NHL game — haven’t moved too quickly because of her national Fearless tour and his hectic Twilight saga filming schedule in Vancouver.

“It’s been hard with their schedules,” the source tells Us. “They are both young and in the spotlight.”

The source adds that the two don’t have qualms about dating in the public eye.

“They aren’t worried about the media,” the source says. “It’s just still very new. They like each other. I don’t even think they know what it is yet. They would be open about it but they need to figure out what it is first.”

So are they still just trying to figure it out or is there really something happening here and Taylor Swift just wants to keep it under wraps for a little while longer? It seems that way as People has an interview with Taylor, taken from a radio segment, where she does admit to being really close with Lautner but then shies away from saying anything more about a possible romance. From People,

“In the contest between Twilight heartthrobs Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, it’s clear where Taylor Swift’s loyalty is. The singer, who has been spending quality time recently with Launter (who plays Jacob Black in the film series) tells CMT Radio’s Cody Alan she’s definitely on “team Jake.”

When asked about rumors that the pair, who attended a hockey game together in L.A. on Sunday and had dinner with Swift’s mom on Monday, are a couple, Swift played coy.

“I don’t know, he’s an amazing guy and we’re really close … and ah … yep,” she says on the radio show airing Thursday. “We’re in a movie together and I am really excited about seeing it.”

Swift says she hasn’t yet had a chance to view any of their film, Valentine’s Day, but hopes she and Launter will “get to do a private screening because we both wanna see it so bad, cause our scene was so much fun to do, it was hilarious doing this scene!”

But then again…private screening? Hmmm….is Taylor Swift just trying to get us to read between the lines? Do you really need a private screening to watch a funny scene together? I wouldn’t think so. I think these two probably have already hooked up and really are just trying to keep things low-key for a little while. And if that’s the case, my best advice to them is to stop attending public events together. After all, a simple hockey game might as well be a wedding ceremony to the media. I hope these two do get together and that they can make it work. Even if the whole Taylor-dating-Taylor thing is a little nauseating.

Ivanka Trump is a Married (and Jewish) Woman!

This past Saturday, Ivanka Trump exchanged wedding vows with Jared Kushner and like any Trump affair it was big, bold, and fabulous! The camps of both Trump and Kushner are maintaining that they’re trying to keep things private. But, that’s difficult to do when you’ve invited 500 people to witness the joyous occasion. And of course, many of those 500 people including big-name celebrities including Regis Philbin, Barbara Walters, and Russell Crowe, to name but a few. There was also a massive wedding cake that spanned 70 inches and was covered in flowers. And the beautiful bride? She was also dressed in only the finest Vera Wang wedding gowns and, I have to say, I’m no fashionista but that is one fabulous dress! People has all the details (or at least those that the couple is willing to release),

“As her official wedding photos reveal, Ivanka Trump was a stunning bride in her custom Vera Wang gown and diamonds from her own fine-jewelry collection.

Trump, 27, married Jared Kushner, 28, in a private Jewish ceremony at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, in front of 500 of their friends and family members. Among the star-studded guests were: Russell Crowe, Natalie Portman, Barbara Walters, Regis Philbin, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and the current New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

The bride, the co-host of Celebrity Apprentice and a vice president at her father’s real estate company, and her new husband, who is the publisher of the New York Observer and an executive at the Kushner Companies, released few photos and kept most of the details of their wedding private. Donald Trump told PEOPLE he offered a simple toast to the couple: “Be happy and enjoy your life.”

The newlyweds, who are planning to honeymoon in Africa, did spend most of the night dancing. “It was a great wedding,” said the father-of-the-bride. “I’m very happy. They’re really a beautiful, smart couple. I think you’ll hear a lot of great things from them in the years to come.”

And what’s a great wedding without an “absolutely superb” cake? “The cake was amazing and just beautiful. It was 70 inches on the table with about 13 layers,” described the cake-maker Sylvia Weinstock. “Each layer was ringed with flowers. We had lisianthus, roses, peonies, Lilies of the Valley, baby’s breath – all in the coloring of whites, creams, pinks ivory and flush tones.”

As varied as the sugar decor was the flavor of the cake. “They had several flavors. They had chocolate, carrot, almond and yellow cake all in the multiple layered cake,” said Weinstock. “They had some 500 people so they wanted a variety.”

Congratulations to the happy couple! I’ve read many interviews that Ivanka had done all throughout their time dating and it seems that she really does have real feelings for Jared and that what they share probably goes way beyond the surface of just what we see. I really do think that these two may beat the odds of Hollywood marriages.

As an interesting side note, Ivanka couldn’t marry Jared until she converted to his religion, which is Judaism. You don’t hear of this often when it comes to celebrities getting married so it brings up the question: Would you convert to another religion to be with the one you loved?

Unfortunately, JT and JB are Still Together

Remember when there were massive rumors going around that Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel had split up? And remember when shortly after, no one could get a photo of the two together to save their life? And then do you remember when we all jumped and down clapping our hands in glee? Well, remain in your seats, folks cuz those rumors just weren’t true. The two were recently seen out together in Vancouver and they look just like they always do – like they could be with anyone and their expressions nor their demeanor would not be any different. Gawd! I thought we had finally been rid of the Most Boring Couple on the Planet. Guess not.

What puzzles me most about this is not where the rumors were started in the first place (because who cares really?) Or that they are still together (because at this point, I’m really thinking that neither of them can be bothered to look for someone who they actually feel something towards.) It’s a quote from Justin’s grandmother. In the quote, she talks about how Justin has always been, and always will be single until he’s ready to give up his career. Or something like that. She also talks about how Justin isn’t ready to marry just yet and how that also shows that he’s single. Uumm…..someone should tell Granny that you don’t have to be married to not be single. From Radar Online,

“Rumors that the couple had split went into overdrive earlier this month when Timberlake’s grandmother Sadie Bomar told a British magazine that she thinks the only thing JT is committed to is his career.

“Jessica was keen to marry, but Justin isn’t ready,” Bomar told Closer. “He’s busy writing new material and he works hard to be successful — he’s really focused on that. As far as we’re concerned, he’s always been single. The girlfriends come and go, but we believe nothing has ever been serious,” the grandmother added. “Justin does his own thing and he isn’t ready to marry just yet.”

Why does Justin’s family think that they can control who he sees, how serious he gets about them, or whether or not he’s ready to be married? Sheesh. First his mother and now his grandmother. And I’m no JT fan, but he is a big boy. I bet Cameron Diaz is glad that she got out when she did. Otherwise, they’d be a couple that’s been dating for six years now and his family still wouldn’t consider it “anything serious.”

Seriously, Chris?! Shut up Already!

Chris Brown is still trying to do some major damage control regarding when he turned Rihanna black and blue earlier in the year. I have to say, I was very scared that fans of Chris were going to still support him and that the industry, along with everyone else, would soon forget the horrible things he did to her. Well, Chris may still have a few fans but no one has forgotten. And they’re certainly not going to if he keeps running his mouth off like this. So, I guess I really do hope that he keeps talking. Because one more fan of Chris Brown’s is a fan wasted if you ask me.

This time Chris is giving the same rigamarole about how he’s just human and we shouldn’t judge him. Oh, and he’s still in love with Rihanna. Hmm..still in love with her? Or still in love with the memory of wrapping his hands around her neck and choking her until she was unconscious? Hard to say really. But, he also promises to never, ever do it again. That’s enough for me when someone forgets to call me on my birthday but I don’t know that it’s enough when you’ve nearly killed someone. From Gossip Rocks,

“Chris Brown is still learning from his mistakes.

The ‘Run It’ singer gave a candid interview on a New York radio station, where he spoke about his regret at assaulting former girlfriend Rihanna in February, and told how he is trying his best to make amends.

He said: “I’m human. If people feel a certain way, I’m not going to say they’re wrong. But it’s not right to judge somebody when people make mistakes all the time.

“I’ve learned from my mistakes and I’m learning from them. And I regret every moment, every second of it.”

Chris, 20, also admitted he is still not over ‘Disturbia’ singer Rihanna, and still has strong feelings for her.

He added in an interview with New York radio station Hot 97: “We’ve been friends since I was like 15, we got serious when I was like 17.

“Feelings are feelings and they don’t go away overnight, especially if you sit down and are like, ‘Look, I’m going to really be in this relationship with you, whatever the case, past our busy schedules, past us being two of the biggest artists.’ I really care about her.”

He also promised his fans he won’t make the same mistakes in his life.

Chris said: “I won’t let you down anymore. That was one of the most embarrassing things for me, because of my image and who I was as a young role model to a lot of kids. It was hard for me.”

Seriously?! Does Chris Brown actually want us to feel sorry for him because the backlash of the beating was difficult for him? I wish they had thrown his ass in jail for a good long time. Maybe then he would know what hard really is. And it was embarrassing for him? Embarrassing?!? Because of his image?! Oh, this just makes me livid! And as for him being one of the ‘biggest’ stars? Yes, Rihanna was one of the biggest stars at the time. But Chris? Just not true. I remember when he beat the crap out of Rihanna and the only reason I knew his name at all was because he made a guest appearance on the soap opera that I watch. And, when your gigs include singing on soap operas, you have a long way to go, my friend. (Ugh, even sarcastically calling Chris Brown my friend hurt.)

Rosie and Kelli: Splitsville!

Is it wrong that I’m clapping my hands just a tiny bit about the fact that Rosie O’Donnell and her partner, Kelli Carpenter are splitting up? Okay yes, they have four children so it is a little bit wrong and shame on me. I do feel bad for any kids that have to watch their parents split. But the fact that Rosie and her rich little life may not be as perfect and better than everyone else’s as she always tries to make it seem leaves me feeling just a tiny bit smug. And as far as what the two women are going through, I could really care less. I really have strong feelings of dislike for Rosie O’Donnell so the fact that she is probably hurting right now doesn’t faze me much. God, I sound so awful don’t I? Kinda like she did when she attacked Elisabeth Hasselback on The View.

Anyways, yes the two have apparently split up. This report comes from Star but I did hear on the news that she had actually confirmed that the two were having problems (god, is Rosie’s love life really such earth-shattering information that we’re hearing about it on the honest-to-goodness news?!) So, this story does seem to be one that Star has gotten right. And I couldn’t help but have a little chuckle as I read it,

“It seems like Rosie O’Donnell and her partner Kelli Carpenter are splitsville!

Confirming rumors that their relationship is on the rocks, Rosie tells USA Today that she and Kelli are working out some “issues.”

“We’re a family, we remain a family and we’re working on the issues,” says Rosie. “Kelli and I love each other very much and we are working on our issues. Those are the only words I am ever going to say. Ever. And that is something that has been agreed upon by all parties.”

The couple share four “adorable and wonderful” children together — Parker, 14, Chelsea, 12, Blake, 9 and Vivienne, 6 — who Rosie says are their top priority.

A tearful Rosie added, “But everything’s fine and everybody’s good and we’re still both raising them together. We will both continue to parent them and we’re friendly and everything’s all right.”

Okay, the actual reason why I was laughing mid-read was because Rosie seems to be so stoic and composed while saying that she and Kelli still love each other very much and that’s all she’s ever going to say. So dramatic, so classy. And then she qualifies it by saying that she’s actually not saying anymore because “that’s what’s been agreed upon by all parties.” So, is she claiming her love or is she simply letting us in on the legal situation? Then she says that everything’s alright and everyone’s doing good…while she’s crying! Oh god! I have no doubt that the reason why this relationship ended was because Kelli simply couldn’t take Rosie’s absolute nonsense anymore. And I can’t say that I blame her.
