This Week in History – 1959

I am going all the way back to 1959 this time. It’s okay, I don’t personally remember it either. But, it is still fun to see how much our society and culture has changed since then!

In celebrity news, Eddie Fisher became Elizabeth Taylor’s fourth husband … Continue reading

Celebrity News: The Week Ahead

How I got sucked into watching ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars” I will never know. But, like millions of others, each week I find myself tuning into the dance competition to see which star’s moves are most impressive. The other little thrill I get from the show is looking at the audience to see which members of a star’s entourage gets a cameo shot. Last week I was treated to a 90210 reunion of sorts as Ian Ziering’s former cast members (Jason Priestly, Tori Spelling, and Jennie Garth) came out to root him on. This week, Laila Ali’s guests are … Continue reading

Pregnancy DENIED!

When it comes to announcing baby news some celebrities are a bit more reluctant than others to share their excitement with the world. (More on Ashlee Simpson’s baby news in a bit.) Then, they are those who become the center of pregnancy rumors before they have even conceived. Take country singing superstar Faith Hill for example. Tim McGraw’s wife and the mother of three young daughters has spent the better part of this week denying reports that she is expecting her fourth child. The rumors of Hill’s pregnancy started when the blond beauty wore a flowing black top to the … Continue reading
