Katie Holmes’ New $43K Makeover and an Unexpected Hollywood Miracle

Recession? What recession? While the rest of the world (or at least us non-Hollywood types) is pinching pennies in these tough economic times, Tom Cruise’s wife is spending like there’s no tomorrow. Then again, maybe, Katie Holmes’ $43,000 makeover is just what the economy needs to help stimulate it. It’s just too bad she couldn’t drop the dough in her home country. According to reports, Holmes new longer do comes courtesy of some talented hair stylists in Japan. The UK’s Daily Mail claims Holmes shelled out £30,000 – which at today’s exchange rate comes out to more than $43,000 – … Continue reading

Charlie Sheen’s New Boys and Guy Ritchie’s New Girl

What a difference a year can make. While some maintain he doesn’t deserve happiness, Charlie Sheen is having one heck of a 2008. Not only did he cut ties with former wife Denise Richards (though, when you are divorced from the other parent of your children, are you ever completely rid of them?), the same woman he dubbed “a pathetic example of a human being,” but Sheen also married his girlfriend Brooke Mueller and three months after the wedding announced that she was pregnant. Now, on top of all that, Sheen just confirmed that Mueller is expecting twins. Twin boys … Continue reading

Courage Mountain (1990)

I love the book “Heidi.” I’ve probably read it eight times and would read it again right now, if I was sure where my copy was. When I saw the movie “Courage Mountain” at the video rental store, I was curious, but also apprehensive. As a “Heidi” fan, I wondered – would this movie, based on a sequel that doesn’t exist, do justice to the original, or would I be disappointed? Juliette Caton stars as Heidi, now fifteen. Clara’s grandmother passed away and left Heidi some money. Grandfather thinks Heidi should use the money to pay for her education, but … Continue reading

Hollywood’s Biggest Losers

Apparently, it takes one to know one. Honestly, I don’t see why Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards ever divorced. The two are so much alike–they were meant for each other. A few days ago Sheen made news when he married Brooke Mueller. Now the actor is back in the headlines again accusing Richards of using her new reality show to try to sabotage his wedding to Mueller. For the record Sheen’s wedding went off without a hitch at his Beverly Hills home. His demands for the type of ceremony and reception he wanted were met by his new wife and … Continue reading

Will the Third Time be the Charm for Charlie Sheen?

Charlie Sheen has tied the knot yet again. The star of “Two and a Half Men” walked down the aisle for the third time last night, according to his rep. The 42-year-old actor wed fiancée Brooke Mueller, a real estate investor, who he has been dating for more than a year. The couple got engaged in Costa Rica last June, after Sheen presented the 30-year-old blonde with a $500,000 custom-designed 11-carat yellow diamond and platinum ring. Mueller may have gotten the bling and the Reem Acra wedding gown she wanted, but it doesn’t sound as though she got the wedding … Continue reading

Another Disgruntled Celebrity Dad

NFL star quarterback Tom Brady made headlines this week when it was made public that his son would not be carrying on his famous last name. Reports say the beefy athlete didn’t take the news well. But, he certainly isn’t the only celebrity father who is upset about his current custody situation. Actor Charlie Sheen (perhaps, Hollywood’s most disgruntled father) is at it again. The “Two and a Half Men” star continues to publicly battle with his ex-wife Denise Richards over visitation rights with the couple’s daughters Sam, 3, and Lola, 2. The latest dispute comes on the heels of … Continue reading

It’s WAR!

I didn’t buy it for a second. There is no way I was going to believe that Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen had buried the hatchet “for the good of the children.” Puh-leeze. The guy was being accused of abusing drugs and “losing control of his emotions,” among other despicable and vulgar deeds. Do you really think that a few months would erase all that? Yeah right! Get ready for round two in the ongoing divorce battle between the Hollywood heavyweights. During the past couple of days, the actor has been appearing on various entertainment news shows making the jaw-dropping … Continue reading

Ready, Set… Wed!

It yet another startling chapter (oh wait, nothing in Hollywood surprises me anymore) in the ongoing saga between actor Charlie Sheen, his ex-wife, Denise Richards and his current girlfriend Brooke Mueller it seems a wedding is in the offing… for Sheen and Mueller. According to TV’s “Extra,” after a year of dating, Sheen popped the question to his real estate investor girlfriend on a Costa Rican beach. He reportedly sealed the deal with a $500,000 engagement ring. Good gravy! Do you think he thought she would say no if the ring was worth less than a house, two cars, and … 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

New Territory For Familiar Hollywood Names

It appears former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss is finally cleaning up her act… literally. Fleiss, notorious for airing her dirty laundry in public, before and after she was convicted of running a high-priced call girl service several years ago, is getting into a new line of work.
