Stars Branching Out (And it Ain’t Pretty)

Not again… Victoria Beckham went from being a model to a singer to the subject of a reality TV series to earning a bit part on a popular network series and now the 34-year-old Spice Girl is headed to the big screen. UGH! Hold on a minute and you might understand why David Beckham’s wife is set to make her movie debut in “Hardy Men.” According to reports, she was personally hired by the film’s star Tom Cruise. Which just goes to show you that it’s not what you know, but who you know in Hollywood that guarantees work. According … Continue reading →

Highs and Lows of Stardom

He’s an award-winning actor, a world-famous comedian, and an accomplished author and now the legendary Bill Cosby is adding another line to his resume—recording artist. The 70-year-old actor is just a few weeks away from releasing his first hip-hop album, but don’t expect to hear The Cosby Show star to rap on any of the tracks. The advocate of higher education has long claimed rap has a “negative” influence on society and didn’t want to taint his album with a sound that he says is “profane for no reason.” The actor’s new CD, Cosby Narratives Vol. 1: State of Emergency, … Continue reading →

Holly Jolly Celebrity Gifts—-Spice Girl Style

What did you get from your spouse this Christmas? Soccer star David Beckham gave his Spice Girl wife a gift I found very interesting. Not because it was priced at $1,500, but because it was made of paper and not precious gems. Victoria Beckham’s hot hubby dropped more than a grand to get a fashion book for his famous wife. The expensive (to me anyway—I’m sure $1,500 is stocking stuffer range for the Beckham’s) Christmas present, Valentino Garavani: First Name in Fashion is one of just 2,000 copies made available worldwide. Victoria’s was personally signed by the legendary designer, covered … Continue reading →

Celebrities in Crisis

Looks can be deceiving… I always thought actor Dylan McDermott and his wife Shiva Rose had it all. They are both incredibly good-looking; they both have successful careers in Hollywood; and they have two healthy and adorable kids… what more could you ask for? Apparently, something must be missing because today their rep told the media that after nearly 12 years of marriage the couple has decided to separate. The actors have been married since 1995 and have two daughters, 11-year-old Collette and 2-year-old Charlotte. So what went wrong? The couple’s rep is staying tight-lipped, but you have to wonder … Continue reading →

Martha Stewart: NOT A “Good Thing”

You‘d think with all her ideas for hosting the perfect party that Martha Stewart would be able to make (and keep) more friends. Or, at the very least, not be so despised by the people who live around her. It seems that the domestic diva’s feud with some of her Westchester County, New York neighbors is getting ugly. Some may even say the melodrama is turning melodic. The war between Stewart and her neighbors has inspired a protest song that’s making its way around the Internet. The song was written by Katonah (located about 40 miles north of midtown Manhattan) … Continue reading →

So Much Ballyhoo About The Beckham’s

In the course of my daughter’s recent illness she has gotten into a pattern of wanting a full body massage at around 2 a.m. It’s around this time that I switch on the news (mute it) and read the headlines that scrawl at the bottom of the screen. I have been shocked that for the past three nights one of the top stories has been David and Victoria Beckham’s move to America. The British soccer star and his “Spice Girl” wife’s move from England to California has been covered by all the major networks, the cable channels, and extensively by … Continue reading →

Spice Girls Reunite

Don’t believe the rumors… The Spice Girls will not be reuniting for the Princess Diana memorial concert next month. They are, however, preparing for a Christmas reunion tour, according to PEOPLE magazine. A source close to the group told the publication that the popular five-woman group will be reuniting together in December to perform new material that is currently being created by Geri Halliwell, a.k.a. “Ginger Spice” and Emma “Baby Spice” Bunton. The Spice Girls were one of the most successful female acts of the 1990s, thanks in large part to their manager Simon Fuller (the man who created “American … Continue reading →

New Career Moves For Female Stars

Wasn’t it Madonna who said the key to remaining in the spotlight is to constantly reinvent yourself? Seems as though some of her fellow stars are taking the Material Girl’s advice. JENNIFER ANISTON The 38-year-old former “Friends” actress is now the face of something purer than all that glitters in Tinseltown. Aniston has invested in bottled-water. It’s true; the star is now the face behind “smartwater” and will appear in posters and print ads promoting the beverage. But that’s not all; according to company executives, Aniston “co-created a limited-edition smartwater label,” which will be available in stores across the country … Continue reading →

“The View” For Moms

You’d think she would learn from their mistakes… but maybe she has and this is her way of taking a good idea and putting her own spin on it. I’m talking about actress Jennifer Garner’s idea to pitch a talk show described as “The View” for mothers. According to news reports, Garner and former “So You Think You Can Dance” host Lauren Sanchez-Whitesell are putting together a televised chatfest for moms by moms. “We’re pitching it next week to a network. I call Jen the Barbara Walters of the show. She will come on periodically. We haven’t quite settled exactly … 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 →
