Kim Kardashian Is Single Again and Madame Tussauds Hits Hollywood

It seems like I just remember reading Kim Kardashian say that she and Reggie Smith were headed for the alter, but in their own time. I should have known they were going to break up because a statement like that always seems like the kiss of death for a celebrity relationship. Kim announced today that she and Reggie, a running back for the New Orleans Saints, were parting ways after two years of dating. What went wrong with the romance? We may never know for sure, but friends say the two were separated by their careers. Reggie is set to … Continue reading

Brangelina Brood Expanding by Three?

Can you be overdue with twins? French newspapers are reporting that Angelina Jolie will deliver her twins on Tuesday. Numerous sources at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, where the actress was admitted on June 29th, say Brangelina’s twins will be welcomed into the world in just three short days. According to the paper, doctors were initially planning to induce Jolie on Monday, but since July 14th is Bastille Day (a French holiday) the procedure was pushed back a day. There have been so many false reports associated with Jolie’s pregnancy and pending delivery that I’m not sure I buy this … Continue reading

PARIS TAKES PARTYING TO NEW HEIGHTS Funny, I thought Paris Hilton’s post jail promise was to give up partying and help save the world. So much for that idea.

Brad and Barack Cousins

Just call them the family ties that bind… and gag. It’s the headline that has tongues wagging across political lines. According to a renowned genealogical organization, actor Brad Pitt and presidential candidate Barack Obama are related. And that’s not all, researchers at the New England Historic Genealogical Society say they can also prove that Pitt’s partner Angelina Jolie is a distant cousin of Obama’s fellow presidential hopeful Hilary Clinton. According to genealogy experts, Pitt and Jolie are both ninth cousins of the candidates. But Clinton’s famous ties don’t stop there. Researchers say the former first lady is also related to … Continue reading

Brangelina Adding to Their Brood… and Other Celebrity Baby Bumps

Baby lovers Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt let a curve-hugging black dress confirm that they are adding to their growing brood. The dress—-worn by Jolie Saturday night to the Film Independent’s Spirit Awards—-hugged what sources close to the A-list couple are calling a “definite baby bump.” For months entertainment publications have been buzzing with Brangelina baby news, despite the fact that the parents of four children refuse to comment about adding to their family. The pair has yet to officially make a statement about Jolie’s pregnancy, but that hasn’t stopped several news organizations from announcing that the actress is due … Continue reading

Brad Pitt Seeing Green In New Orleans

The hottie with a hammer is at it again. But, this time Brad Pitt is swinging in New Orleans. The actor stopped by the construction site of his environmentally friendly housing project in the Big Easy on Tuesday, calling the enterprise “a small little victory.” Pitt’s project (it’s actually backed in cooperation with Global Green and the Home Depot Foundation) is designed to help displaced residents affected by Hurricane Katrina. If all goes according to plan, by this time next year, five single-family homes and approximately 18 apartments should be complete, allowing more than 20 families a new place to … Continue reading

Brad and Angelina Expanding Their Family

For the past few weeks, rumors have been swirling about a possible addition to one of the country’s most good looking families. Two weeks ago TV’s “Entertainment Tonight” reported that Angelina Jolie was in the process of adopting another child, though reporters could not confirm what country the child was currently living in. Today, various news agencies have confirmed that the actress has officially filed to adopt a Vietnamese child. And, contrary to tabloid reports, it was a representative from the U.S. adoption agency hired by Jolie who filed the papers at Vietnam’s International Adoption Agency, and not the actress … Continue reading

Brad Pitt’s Headline Grabbing Birthday Present

She could have gotten him a Porsche, a cardigan sweater, even a nice, manly cologne, but instead girlfriend Angelina Jolie decided to go a different route when shopping for beau Brad Pitt’s 43rd birthday present—-she got him a house. Well sort of, it was more like a tour of a house, which is not to say that the celebrity couple (gazillionaires in their own right) couldn’t afford a new house, but this one wasn’t on the market. It’s nice to dream though, and one of Pitt’s did come true as a result of Jolie’s gift. So what exactly was Jolie’s … Continue reading

Brad and Angelina’s Vietnamese Thanksgiving

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie must not like turkey and stuffing. Then again, they are self-professed “non-traditionalists” so I suppose none of us should be surprised that this year the couple and their children traded in the traditional American Thanksgiving Day meal for a lavish Vietnamese spread in Ho Chi Minh City. Or, maybe not following tradition is in fact their way of keeping with their own traditions. You’ll remember last year Brangelina spent their first Thanksgiving holiday together aiding earthquake victims in Pakistan last year. So, hey, why not make going global a tradition this year, too. You may … Continue reading
