The celebrity news you may have missed! 10. Jessica Simpson Bows Out of Parton Tribute Earlier I had blogged about Jessica Simpson botching the song “9 to 5” at this year’s Kennedy Center Honors. She retaped it, but didn’t like the second attempt and now it has been cut from the show that will air on CBS the day after Christmas. 9. Twins for Diddy I cannot keep up with his current nickname, but now, we can just call him “Daddy.” Diddy’s girlfriend Kim Porter gave birth to twin girls the morning of the December 21st. He adds the girls … Continue reading →

Doing the Right Thing

Imagine how you would feel if your child scored a $54,000 scholarship to UCLA. For many parents, it would be akin to winning the lottery. After all, college ain’t cheap… well, unless you are a multimillionaire. What? You don’t think the wealthiest of the wealthy have to watch their Benjamin? It’s hard being rich and famous. Just ask Sean “Diddy” Combs. The rap mogul is considered one of the richest men on the planet with an estimated fortune of more than $550 million. With all that cash flying around, you’d think Combs could easily fork over the money needed to … Continue reading →

Kids’ Birthday Parties—How Much Is Too Much?

Recession? What recession? The economic crisis, which has battered and bruised many Americans, is apparently a non-issue if your name is Diddy. The rapper with 1,000 names–he was born Sean Combs, but later morphed into “Puff Daddy,” then “P. Diddy,” then the artist known as “Diddy,” then “Straight up P,” and now just “Diddy”—-is showing the world that money really can buy love. And that goes double if you are a parent. Daddy Diddy recently made headlines when he threw his son an insanely expensive Sweet 16 party. The ultimate birthday bash took place at one of New York City’s … Continue reading →

Why Sean “Diddy” Combs Might Not Get His Dream Wedding

Diddy. P Diddy. Puff. Puff Daddy. Puffy. I still don’t know what rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs is calling himself these days, though I can think of a few names that might suit him (only with this being a family-friendly site I will refrain from making any of them public). Look, I really don’t try to figure out what goes on in the minds of Hollywood’s rich and famous (in addition to not having the time to do so I simply don’t have the desire), but every once in a while a celebrity will make a public statement that forces me … Continue reading →

Hollywood—-It’s All Who You Know

When a guy named Rooster gets his own TV show you have to know that there’s more to the story than just his moniker. Or is there? Once I found out what Rooster’s real name was it all started to make sense. Rooster McConaughey is actually Michael Patrick McConaughey… as in the brother of Hollywood hottie Matthew McConaughey. Now you get it? Rooster’s new show is called “Black Gold” and it premieres next month on truTV. Let me start by saying that if you plan to tune in with the hopes that Rooster’s bro will come jogging by in all … Continue reading →

Timing Is Everything

Paris Hilton’s newest piece of arm candy is causing quite a stir among celebrity watchers and illustrates what can happen if you are at the right place at the right time. According to the New York Post, 22-year-old Alex Vaggo is going places… mainly in the passenger seat of Hilton’s car. The good-looking Swedish tourist was standing on the street near the USA Hostel in Hollywood when he was introduced to the hotel heiress. A source tells the newspaper the former jailbird immediately took a liking to him. And, now, the source says, Vaggo is living much better. (Can you … Continue reading →

Cream Doesn’t Cut It At Diddy’s White Bash

It’s called a “WHITE Party” for a reason. This weekend’s star-studded bash thrown by Sean “Diddy” Combs (or whatever he’s going by these days) is an annual event that draws dozens of Hollywood’s biggest names. Over the years the party (which has been held in St. Tropez but was moved back to Diddy’s Hamptons’ mansion this year) has morphed into a monstrously lavish affair. The party is by invite only and the dress code is strictly enforced. Strictly, strictly enforced… as in the hip-hop mogul hires “fashion police” to scour the white carpet leading to the party’s entrance. If a … Continue reading →

Hollywood Officially Goes Mad

The title of this blog may not be news to many of you, but then again you might not have heard the latest involving two sets of stars co-existing under bizarre circumstances. First up the threesome of Denise Richards, her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, and Sheen’s current girlfriend, Brooke Mueller. Not only has the aforementioned threesome been seen around L.A. toting Richards and Sheen’s two young daughters to luncheons and petting zoos, now Richards and Mueller have apparently dumped Sheen (figuratively speaking) and are venturing out on their own with 3-year-old Sam. Various tabloids have recently published shots of Richards, Mueller … Continue reading →

Daddy Diddy’s Pink Baby Party

The artist formerly known as Puff Daddy (then P. Diddy, then P, and now just Diddy) is trading in his classic black accessories for pink ones. Diddy is going to be a daddy again—this time to twin girls (he already has two sons), and he hosted a massive all-pink party to celebrate. The mogul’s pink bash was called “Little Miss Diddys’ Pretty in Pink.” It was basically a lavish baby shower for longtime girlfriend Kim Porter (the mother of the twins) and was held in New York City on Sunday. “This is the greatest party I’ve ever had,” Diddy told … Continue reading →
