Stars Branching Out… In Places We Don’t Want Them

If I have to hear about one more Hollywood celeb who has decided to “branch out” into the world of fashion I might just hurl all over my pleather JLo coat. I’m kidding about having the coat… not about hurling. So I’m not sure what to do about my lunch given the fact that actress Lindsay Lohan has just announced that she is interested in launching her own perfume line. The 21-year-old free spirit says she wants to follow in the footsteps of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and JLo and come up with a scent that is uniquely her own. … Continue reading →

Generous Celebs Keep the Giving Going

There’s nothing like tax time to get you to review just how generous you’ve been in the last 12 months. And it’s not just you—–many Hollywood celebrities are taking time to total up their good (financial) deeds and some have been quite a bit more generous than others. Take for example, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The handsome Tinseltown duo is known for helping those in need with their time and talent, but did you know that according to federal tax filings, the pair routinely digs deep (really deep) into their wallets to aid the less fortunate as well? According … Continue reading →

The Most Flexible Couple In Hollywood Weds and Pitt Says Four Is NOT Enough

It’s been a busy weekend for your favorite celebs. In fact, with the myriad of weddings that took place in the last 48 hours you have to wonder if there are any single stars left in Hollywood. Previous blogs detailed the joyous nuptials of Usher, Kate Walsh, and Byron Allen, but neglected to mention the flamboyant festivities of “Dancing with the Stars’” Alec Mazo and Edyta Sliwinska. The pro dancers were married in San Francisco on Saturday, according to their rep. The wedding had an international flare with the Polish-born Sliwinska and her Russian-born husband inviting friends and family members … Continue reading →

Katie Headed For Iraq

Just a few weeks shy of celebrating her first anniversary as “CBS Evening News” anchor–Katie Couric is ditching the desk and heading for Iraq. In what network insiders are calling an “ambitious reporting trip,” Couric leaves today for the war torn country. She is scheduled to anchor the “CBS Evening News” from Baghdad next Tuesday and Wednesday, then from Damascus on Thursday and Friday. This will be the first time Couric will be reporting from the region. She is the second major network anchor to travel to Iraq since ABC News’ Bob Woodruff was nearly killed by a roadside bomb … 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 →

Wedding Planning – Kindness is King

Can it really have been back in June when I wrote Register to Give; Not to Receive? It seems a very long time ago indeed. But apparently the kindness trend is on the upswing and what better time to make a commitment to incorporating kindness in your wedding planning. Love them or hate them, that is exactly what Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are doing for their wedding – they want to include acts of kindness in their wedding planning. Jolie is reportedly looking for her wedding dress not in the houses of fashion, but through Goodwill – in order … 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 →
