Not the Marrying Type

If I have to hear Anna Kournikova whine about how she never wants to get married I might scream. The tennis star made headlines earlier this week when she told reporters that while she has been dating her sexy boyfriend Enrique Iglesias for three years she has no plans to marry him… despite the fact that he has been proposing to her for the last year. What gives? Maybe it’s age. The ravishing blonde former tennis star is almost 27 while her hunky Latin lover is days away from turning 33. (Still young in my book.) Or perhaps Kournikova is … Continue reading →

Pop Culture Updates: New Name, New Show, and a New Life

You waited, you wondered, you might have even ventured a guess or two. Well, now the wait is finally over. Oscar-winner Halle Berry just revealed the name of her newborn daughter… Nahla Ariela Aubry. Nahla… say it with me… GNAW-lah. Yes, it’s pronounced very similar to the name of Simba’s gal pal, Nala, in Disney’s popular 1994 animated feature film The Lion King. Nala means, “gift” in Swahili. But Nahla means honeybee in Arabic. The infant was born Sunday morning and is the first child for the actress and her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry. The Academy Award-winner told TV’s “Access … Continue reading →

Halle Berry Gives Birth

Halle Berry recently told a magazine reporter that she wanted to stay pregnant forever, but her baby had other ideas. The Oscar winner gave birth Sunday morning to a baby girl, according to her rep. Berry and her model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry are now the proud first time parents of a 7 lbs, 4 oz baby girl, who arrived at 10:17 am at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles. The 41-year-old new mom is reportedly “doing well” and can’t wait to take her bundle of joy home. There are varying reports on Berry’s delivery timeline, but several Internet sites posted pics of … Continue reading →

See Who’s Getting Oprah’s “Favorite Things”

I have always dreamed of being in the audience during Oprah Winfrey’s annual “Favorite Things” show. After all, who wouldn’t want to be the recipient of tens of thousands of dollars worth of luxurious goodies that the divine Miss O personally owns? Once the gift-giving extravaganza became an annual event, tickets to that particular show became the most sought after passes in daytime TV. Even Winfrey herself admitted that her own family members would call asking for the coveted tickets to her “Favorite Things” show. A couple of years ago, Winfrey wised up and began hand-selecting audience members for her … Continue reading →

Boy Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy

Let’s hear it for the boy… Three days after giving birth to her first son, Elisabeth Hasselbeck announced his name on “The View” this morning. Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck is healthy and nursing like a champ, according to his mom. Elisabeth called into today’s show and revealed little else than her son’s name (more on that later) and the fact that she was in labor “forever…four or five thousand hours,” but only pushed for 35 minutes before Taylor made his debut. She also said that her 2-year-old daughter Grace loves her new little brother and tries to feed him her Goldfish … Continue reading →

Celebrity Baby Talk

Babies, babies, babies. They are the talk of Tinseltown. From Jennifer Lopez’s rumored pregnancy with twins (announce you’re pregnant already) to Nicole Richie’s burgeoning baby bump to Halle Berry’s upcoming appearance on Oprah’s show to spill the beans on her new baby belly. And, then there’s Brooke Shields. The mom of two—-daughters, Rowan, 4, and Grier, 1—-says she is ready for baby No.3. “I would love it,” Shields recently told reporters at a publicity event. “I might have to bind and gag my husband [Chris Henchy] because I think he’s happy with the girls he has in his life, but … Continue reading →

Ro Says No—Again

Days after turning down a seat next to the one woman who would single handily thrust new book “Celebrity Detox” into literary stardom, Rosie O’Donnell has come to her senses. No, she didn’t profusely apologize to Oprah Winfrey and beg for another chance to appear on her show; rather the former “View” co-host has decided not to appear hypocritical and has now cancelled all of her interviews related to the revealing new book. You’ll recall the comedian granted “Good Morning America’s” Diane Sawyer a sit down interview to promote her new book even though she refused Winfrey’s invitation. Now, word … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: Halle Opens Up To Oprah About Becoming A Mom

When Halle Berry called to tell gal pal Oprah Winfrey she was finally pregnant I would suspect there were screams of delight and a fair share of air kissing going on. When that was over I wouldn’t doubt that the legendary Miss O told the gorgeous ingénue to pack her bags and get to Chicago ASAP. I can hear it now: Oprah: “You better get on my plane and get on my show girl.” Halle: “Don’t forget to stock it with deep-dish pizza. The baby loves pizza…” Okay, maybe that’s not exactly how the conversation went… Regardless, the rumors are … Continue reading →
