Pop Culture Potpourri: Gisele’s Bold Move and Jerry’s New Record

GISELE’S BOLD MOVE The jokes keep flying at the expense of NFL super star Tom Brady… The beefy quarterback for the New England Patriots has been making headlines for two straight weeks—-ever since his ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan gave birth to a baby boy who shares his DNA, but not his last name.

How to Make Memorial Day a Teachable Moment

We buried my beloved grandmother last week. My five-year-old daughter and I along with hundreds of other relatives and friends gathered at Veteran’s Cemetery in Hilo, Hawaii, to pay tribute to an unbelievably remarkable woman whose life will never be forgotten. It had been almost 11 years to the day since I attended a burial at Veteran’s Cemetery. The last time we gathered en masse was to say good-bye to my grandfather. My fiercely proud Japanese-American grandfather, who risked his life to serve the United States in World War II, while some of his family members were forced to reside … Continue reading →

Star Updates: Gisele Bundchen and Farrah Fawcett

It looks as though Gisele Bundchen may finally be getting her ultimate wish. Reports say that the supermodel is expecting her first child with husband Tom Brady. In other news, Bridget Moynahan is hoping that once Bundchen gives birth she will leave her 18-month-old son with Brady alone. I know a few people who’ll drink to that. You’ll recall that Brady dumped Moynahan right before she discovered she was pregnant with his child. The football star then hooked up with Bundchen, and the two recently got hitched twice-—once in California, and again, last month in Costa Rica. The Victoria’s Secret … Continue reading →

In the latest Vanity Fair issue, Bundchen let … Continue reading →

The intimate ceremony was capped off by an appearance by Brady’s 18-month-old son John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

Jennifer Hudson Returns to the Spotlight and Tom Brady Says So Long to Single Life

Three months after her mother, brother and young nephew were brutally murdered in her hometown of Chicago, singer/actress Jennifer Hudson is returning to the spotlight. The NFL just announced that the “American Idol” star will be singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida next month. Hudson hasn’t appeared in public since her mother, brother and 7-year-old nephew were killed in a horrific murder spree last October. The Oscar-winner’s estranged brother-in-law has been charged in the killings. Hudson is also reportedly scheduled to sing at the Grammys’ MusiCares event a few days after the February 1st Super … Continue reading →

Celebrities and Hurricane Gustav

While the major networks were watching Hurricane Gustav unleash its fury on Louisiana entertainment publications were keeping a close eye on celebrities watching what New Orleans mayor described as “the mother of all storms.” (Today Mayor Ray Nagin amended his description calling Gustav “the mother-in-law or the ugly sister of all storms.”) Which just goes to show that the media can spin practically any current events story into one that involves Hollywood’s biggest names. Yesterday I saw video of men working to board up Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s New Orleans home. The couple, which bought a home and lived … Continue reading →

Think about it; in addition to the cost of transportation and lodging, you have to factor in the price of meals, snacks, beverages, souvenirs, tips, admission fees to attractions, etc. Luckily there are ways to save on a family trip provided you plan in advance. In my previous blog I listed … Continue reading →
