Stars Who Won’t Be Doing the Tango on TV

Now that ABC’s smash hit “Dancing with the Stars” is over for the season (and the right person walked away with the hideous disco-ball trophy) tongues are wagging regarding who will be included on the next installment of the show, which premieres in September. I have seen a few names being tossed around, but nothing has been signed (or so claims ABC execs). However, there is one celeb you absolutely won’t be seeing on the dance floor come the fall. Despite being asked by show producers several times, football star Terrell Owens says he won’t be waltzing into your living … Continue reading →

Oh What a Weekend!

Saturday was a momentous occasion for the Spears family. Not only did Jamie-Lynn Spears celebrate her first baby shower in her Louisiana hometown, but it was also the first time she got to see her sister Britney since the pop diva turned Meltdown Mama was released from rehab. It’s been seven months since the Spears sisters have been able to bond over a plate of hush puppies, but on Saturday they got their fill. It was a family affair as the teen mom-to-be was feted with an intimate baby shower at her mom’s Kentwood mansion. According to news reports, about … Continue reading →

Moving From Denial To Acceptance

It looks as though the impossible may very well be possible after all. Against all odds, it appears Paris Hilton is moving from the denial phase of her sentencing to a slow acceptance. According to news reports, the hotel heiress has decided she won’t appeal the 45-day jail term she was sentenced to earlier this month for violating probation. When I first heard the news I was skeptical, but in fact, court documents confirm that the 26-year-old socialite is abandoning her appeal. Whereas I don’t think it is necessarily cause for celebration, it does indicate the heiress is now prepared … Continue reading →

Paris Hilton Asks Governor For Pardon

Her first attempt to use her celebrity status didn’t sway a judge to go easy on her, but Paris Hilton is not giving up. The socialite is now asking you to sign a petition to help her persuade California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to pardon her from her 45-day jail sentence. So, should we applaud her efforts to remain a free woman or snort, roll our eyes, and dismiss her pathetic attempts at dodging the consequences of her actions? Perhaps this information will help you decide: Regarding her grass roots appeal to fans (actually, I don’t think she cares if you … Continue reading →

Paris Hilton—Life Behind Bars

It’s a far cry from a Hilton. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) If you haven’t already heard–party princess/hotel heiress Paris Hilton has been sentenced to 45 days in county jail for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. Whether she actually sees the inside of a jail cell remains to be seen—a California judge has mandated she be incarcerated—–but part of me still has a sinking feeling that with all the money that backs the Hilton name, somehow, some way, her daddy will be able to pull some strings and she’ll regain her freedom. I hope that is not … Continue reading →

Famous Hotel Heiress Going To Jail

Frankly, I can’t believe it happened. No, really. It’s one of the rare instances in my life that I have been rendered speechless. (Luckily, it didn’t affect my ability to type.) If you haven’t heard the news: Paris Hilton is going to jail. News agencies from around the world are a buzz with the headline that the hotel heiress/socialite/reality-TV star/party princess/Britney Spears’ BFF is headed to the slammer. Just a few hours ago, a California judge sentenced Hilton to 45 days in county jail for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. It’s actually a bit more convoluted … Continue reading →

Hollywood Couples With Heart

They said it wouldn’t last… in Hollywood “they” tend to be right. But, look beyond the Britney and K-Fed’s, the Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz’s, and you’ll see a core group of Hollywood power couples who make love work. Being that today is Valentine’s Day I thought it appropriate to give those happy pairs sometime ink. Here are just a few of Tinseltown’s star couples with staying power: JERRY AND ANNE Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara. They’ve been married for more than 50 years (!!) and recently received a joint star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for their respective … Continue reading →

Celebrity Tidbits: A Supportive Husband (!) and A Supportive Friend (?)

A SUPPORTIVE HUSBAND! Denzel Washington won an Oscar as best actor for his role as a rogue cop in the 2001 film Training, but I think he should also get an award for his role as a supportive husband. The actor is going public in an effort to encourage his wife of 23 years to come out of retirement and resume her singing career. Washington’s wife, singer Pauletta Pearson, gave up her career as a Broadway actress and singer to marry Washington and raise their four children. Now Washington is trying desperately to persuade his “better half” to return to … Continue reading →
