Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas to Split?

Actors Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas met while working on the film Too Much in 1995. It may have been love at first sight, but at the time, both were married to other people. Griffith married actor Don Johnson at the young age of 19 after the two had been dating for five years. Let me do the math for you – she was 14 when she started dating 22-year-old Johnson. That marriage only lasted six months and in September 1981, Griffith married actor Steven Bauer. That reportedly drug-fueled marriage lasted two year and in 1989, Griffith and Johnson gave … Continue reading

Madonna’s Daughter Caught Smoking

It seems like I’ve read that teen smoking is down. But, that may not be the case if you are the teen of a celebrity. Just this week, Madonna’s 15-year-old daughter Lourdes Leon was photographed smoking with friends. Now, I’ve never smoked, but some who have may be thinking “What’s the big deal? It’s what you do when you are that age.” Part of the problem is at only 15; Lourdes shouldn’t be smoking for several reasons. First, she cannot legally buy cigarettes until she is 18. And second of all, we all know – smoking is bad for you. … Continue reading

Dame Elizabeth Taylor Hospitalized

Last week, it was reported that movie star Elizabeth Taylor, 78, had been admitted to the hospital for treatment for a heart problem. Taylor’s rep, Jamie Cadwell, issued a statement that said the iconic beauty checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles for “symptoms caused by congestive heart failure” and said today that Taylor will remain in the hospital “for the time being.” She was diagnosed with congestive heart failure, which is signified by an insufficient amount of blood being pumped by a weakened heart, almost seven years ago. If you know anything about two time Oscar winner Taylor … Continue reading

Eddie Fisher Dies at 82

Singer Eddie Fisher died Wednesday night at his Berkley home following complications from hip surgery. He was 82 years old. Eddie came to prominence in the early ‘50s. Hits such as “Thinking of You” and “Any Time” made him a pop superstar. His 32 hits sold millions of records and in 1955, he married girl-next-door actress Debbie Reynolds. Known as “America’s Favorite Couple,” they appeared together in 1956’s Bundle of Joy. Although the couple had two children, Carrie (who later gained fame as Princess Leia from Star Wars) and Todd, all was not well. The Fishers were very close to … Continue reading

Kiefer Sutherland Remembers Jail While Heather Locklear May Face It

Kiefer Sutherland talked to Men’s Vogue about his seven week jail sentence that he served late last year and earlier this year for DUI. In the December/January issue, which you can find on the newsstands on November 25th, two days before the season premiere of “24,” Sutherland talks about how terrible the ordeal was.

He said the drinking and smoking was not a daily issue … Continue reading

Take the Lead (2006)

I must begin this movie review with an apology to my sister. She’s been a huge Antonio Banderas fan for years and I’ve never really seen the attraction and told her so. However, after seeing “Take the Lead,” I must confess to some oo-la-la and I hereby publicly admit, he is a very nice-looking man. Banderas plays Pierre Dulaine, owner of a dance studio and professional ballroom dancer. He’s concerned about the fate of the youth who live in the inner city areas in New York City, and this concern is heightened when he sees a teenager vandalize a car … Continue reading

You may be wondering who else has served this honor then gone on to be a star themselves. Here are a few of the previous honorees you … Continue reading
