Lance Armstrong and Matt Lauer Injured in Cycling Accidents

No, Lance Armstrong didn’t run over Matt Lauer during a training ride. Rather, the two quasi-celebs, who happen to share the same haircut, were involved in two separate bicycle accidents, which left them both hospitalized. Armstrong reportedly remains hospitalized in Spain following a crash this morning. The seven-time Tour de France champ was participating in his first professional race on European soil since winning his last yellow jersey when he got caught up in a massive pile-up involving dozens of other riders. Reports say Armstrong went down about 12.5 miles from the finish line during the first stage of the … Continue reading

Kate and Owen Hit It Again and Jennifer Hudson Hits the Road

Just days after she claimed that she was not interested in being in another relationship, actress Kate Hudson has found herself a date for Valentine’s Day. And a familiar one at that. According to reports, Hudson is hooking up with actor Owen Wilson… again. The pair reportedly spent the weekend together at Wilson’s Malibu beach house with Hudson’s 5-year-old son Ryder. The couple has been down this road a few times, most recently in February 2008, when they were caught snuggling at the Academy Awards. The 29-year-old starlet and the 40-year-old movie veteran continued to date until they reportedly suffered … Continue reading

Lance Armstrong Defies Odds Again

The words “super” and “sperm” come to mind right about now. If you haven’t already heard cycling champ Lance Armstrong and his girlfriend Anna Hansen are expecting their first child together. Ordinarily, this type of star baby news would garner a few lines under the “milestones” portion of celebrity rags, but not with Armstrong. The uber athlete, who won seven straight Tour de France crowns after battling testicular cancer, is back on the front page of major publications because of his superior swimmers. According to Armstrong’s handlers, the superhuman cyclist, who has the lung capacity of a whale, has defied … Continue reading

Lance Armstrong Set to Ride Again

Back in the saddle again… and for once I’m not talking about Lance Armstrong’s love life. Rather, the man many considered the “King of Fitness,” is straddling his bike again on the road to what he hopes will be his eighth Tour de France title. The 36-year-old cancer survivor announced today that he plans to come out of retirement to cycle professionally. “I am happy to announce that after talking with my children, my family and my closest friends, I have decided to return to professional cycling in order to raise awareness of the global cancer burden,” Armstrong said in … Continue reading

Lance and Kate Split

The whirlwind romance that sucked in Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson has apparently spat them out. Numerous reports say the actress and athlete called it quits this weekend shortly after Armstrong hinted that he might run for office. Contrary to popular belief, friends of Goldie Hawn’s daughter say Armstrong’s commitment to public service was not what drove a wedge between them. Rather, New York Post’s Page Six gossip column reports that the pair mutually decided their relationship was just not working. On top of the distance factor—-Armstrong lives in Texas and tours the country raising awareness about cancer and Hudson … Continue reading

Lance Armstrong’s Run for the White House?

I willing admit that I find Lance Armstrong attractive. How can I deny it now when I’ve already publicly professed my feelings for him in numerous blogs. However, I have never been keen on the way he handles his love life. From splitting with his wife (and the mother of their three young children) to walking out on his former fiancée Sheryl Crow, then dumping his last celebrity designer girlfriend, hooking up with Hollywood nymph Ashley Olsen and now actress Kate Hudson (who is young enough to be his daughter—okay, I’m exaggerating). All that drama aside the guy is an … Continue reading

Lance Armstrong Strikes Again

I was wondering what Lance Armstrong was doing with his free time these days… Now I know! He’s courting Kate Hudson. If there was any way to snuff out rumors that she was getting ready to walk down the aisle with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Owen Wilson, showing up on Armstrong’s arm three nights in a row would be it. It is the headline of the weekend: “Armstrong and Hudson More than Just Friends!” I’m not sure I’m buying this one. Yes, it’s hard to deny that the seven-time Tour de France winner and the actress have been getting chummy … Continue reading

Stars Coming Out for Cancer Telethon

It’s not a major Hollywood awards show, it just looks that way on paper. Meryl Streep, Forest Whitaker, Charlize Theron, Hilary Swank, America Ferrera, Danica Patrick, Josh Brolin, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Aniston, Masi Oka and Lance Armstrong are just a few of the A-list celebrities slated to appear on the upcoming three-network telethon to raise money for cancer research. As I mentioned in a previous blog the hour-long “Stand Up To Cancer” will air live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS and NBC on September 5 and feature performances by big name musicians and emotional appeals from actors, athletes and journalists, … Continue reading

Vacation Like a Celebrity

Let’s face it; most of us will never walk the red carpet at a major Hollywood event. And we will likely never know what it’s like to have thousands of screaming fans chanting our names as we cross the street. However, if you have the means you can escape to the same exotic spots A-list stars frequent. Celebrities go on vacation for the same reason we do—to escape from the rigors of everyday life. That’s why many of them choose to jet off to exclusive resorts in far off locales. For example, Tom Cruise regularly vacations on one of the … Continue reading

The Ex’s Speak Out

Just days after Gwyneth Paltrow flat out refused to wish her ex-fiancé Brad Pitt a hearty congratulations (or anything that resembled best wishes) on the impending births of his new twins his partner’s ex-husband Billy Bob Thornton didn’t hold anything back when speaking to the press. Angelina Jolie’s ex excitedly passed on his congratulations to the “Tomb Raider” actress upon finding out that she and Pitt are expecting a double blessing later this year. In fact, Thornton – who divorced Jolie five years ago – tells OK! magazine he is “thrilled” with the news. “I think she was always meant … Continue reading
