Familiar Faces in Unfamiliar Places

In a move that she herself considers “highly unusual,” TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is joining the ranks of supermodel Christie Brinkley, actress Drew Barrymore and singer Rihanna as the face of CoverGirl cosmetics. Not only is the 50-year-old comedian following in the footsteps of the aforementioned beauties she is also getting paid a sizeable chunk of cash for doing so. The popular cosmetic company is reportedly paying DeGeneres a cool million to promote the brand. Super gorgeous Brinkley–the original face of CoverGirl cosmetics–promoted the company for more than 20 years and at 54 years old was recently rehired … Continue reading →

Sizing Up Brinkley’s Latest Divorce

So much for going after Liz Taylor’s record… Last week Christie Brinkley announced that she has sworn off marriage… for good… maybe. Seriously, the former supermodel, who recently took her cheating ex-husband Peter Cook to divorce court in what was considered one of the ugliest splits in Long Island history, says she is over the idea that marriage is forever. Did I mention Cook was Brinkley’s fourth husband? In the end Brinkley and Cook settled out of court with the gorgeous blond bombshell paying her philanderer ex $2 million in exchange for sole custody of their children. By all accounts … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: New Gig(s), New Home, and a Hot New Couple

Does Ryan Seacrest ever sleep? The “American Idol” host took over the title of “Hardest Working Man In Show Business” from Regis Philbin (who took it over from Dick Clark) months ago, and it looks like he’s living up to the billing. (If he’s not the “hardest” working man in show business then he certainly is one of the busiest.) Seacrest has just been tapped to host the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, which is scheduled to air next month. The announcement comes on the heels of a prior declaration that Seacrest got the job of hosting the Super Bowl pre-game … Continue reading →

More Good, Bad, and Ugly Celebrity Tidbits

THE GOOD Good… no, make that great news for teen hip-hop star Lil’ Romeo. According to news reports, he’s bound for the University of Southern California and a potential career as a professional basketball player (that’s if all goes according to plan). Lil’ Romeo (his real name is Percy Romeo Miller) is currently a junior at Beverly Hills High School. On Friday his record label confirmed the teen musician has committed to playing basketball for the Trojans in 2008. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because Lil’ Romeo’s father, hip-hop mogul Master P, had tryouts with … Continue reading →

Celebrity Divorces—What Fuels Battles Like These?

It’s no secret I was shocked when I heard the news that model Christie Brinkley was getting divorced yet again. And, like many others, I was even more shocked when I learned what triggered her filing. Tabloid trash aside even the most uninterested reader has got to feel horrible for the children involved in this divorce (and those not nearly as contentious as Brinkley’s), which is why I was stunned when I heard what transpired a few days ago when Brinkley and her estranged husband Peter Cook tried to hammer out a temporary custody agreement involving their 11-year-old son Jack … Continue reading →

Celebrity Blog Update–Two Beautiful Women, Two Ugly Break Ups

Here’s an update on a couple of the celebrities I have blogged on in the past few weeks. Both are women I consider beyond stunning and both have been wronged by their significant others. The first is supermodel Christie Brinkley. By now I’m sure you know that her estranged husband, architect Peter Cook, has publicly admitted that he had an ongoing affair with his teenage office assistant while the couple was married. When word got out that Cook not only bedded the teen, but also wooed her with extravagant gifts and money, Brinkley and her children fled their Hampton’s estate … Continue reading →

Beautiful Female Celebrities and the Husbands that Cheat On Them

I have never had to worry about being beautiful. Even at my best moments – a formal event, my wedding – I only pass for acceptable. So when I see beautiful women such as Christie Brinkley and Halle Berry, I think it must be great to be so beautiful and with that beauty comes no worries. Boy, was I wrong. In case you haven’t heard, Christie Brinkley and her husband of 10 years, Peter Cook, just separated. The appalling reason is why they separated. Married to someone that is no doubt one of the most beautiful women in the world … Continue reading →

Why Christie Brinkley Kicked Her Husband To The Curb

A few days ago I blogged about Christie Brinkley’s surprise split from her husband of 10 years Peter Cook. At the time of the announcement no reason was given for Brinkley’s decision to file for divorce. Now, a New York newspaper says it has uncovered the reason why Brinkley kicked her husband out of their Hampton mansion. The New York Post reports that Cook has been having an affair with a 19-year-old who he allegedly promised he would dump his supermodel wife for. But, that’s just the beginning of what the paper reports is a long list of “poor decisions” … Continue reading →
