New and Old Couples: Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer, Shanna Moakler, and Gerard Butler

Apparently Jennifer Aniston thinks some men deserve a second chance. She and John Mayer, after months of secrecy, were seen together in public. But, the two split in August 2008. While Jen remained mum after the breakup, Mayer said there was “no lying, there’s no cheating, there’s no nothing,” adding that Aniston was the “smartest, most sophisticated person I think I have ever met.” (This photo is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 License) Last weekend, the two were seen dining at Il Mulino in New York City after attending a Ray LaMontagne concert together in Boston.

Update on DJ AM and Travis Barker

Both DJ AM and Travis Baker have been released from Doctors Hospital in Augusta, Georgia after their recent plane crash. That they even made it to the hospital seemed like a miracle in and of itself. In fact, on his Facebook page, DJ AM wrote “Adam Goldstein [real name] is the luckiest guy alive.” You can read more about the South Carolina plane crash in Michele’s blog, but DJ AM and Travis were the only two who survived – the pilot, co-pilot, and two other passengers died in the crash.

Pop Culture Updates: New Name, New Show, and a New Life

You waited, you wondered, you might have even ventured a guess or two. Well, now the wait is finally over. Oscar-winner Halle Berry just revealed the name of her newborn daughter… Nahla Ariela Aubry. Nahla… say it with me… GNAW-lah. Yes, it’s pronounced very similar to the name of Simba’s gal pal, Nala, in Disney’s popular 1994 animated feature film The Lion King. Nala means, “gift” in Swahili. But Nahla means honeybee in Arabic. The infant was born Sunday morning and is the first child for the actress and her model boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry.

Not the Marrying Type

If I have to hear Anna Kournikova whine about how she never wants to get married I might scream. The tennis star made headlines earlier this week when she told reporters that while she has been dating her sexy boyfriend Enrique Iglesias for three years she has no plans to marry him… despite the fact that he has been proposing to her for the last year. What gives? Maybe it’s age. The ravishing blonde former tennis star is almost 27 while her hunky Latin lover is days away from turning 33. (Still young in my book.) Or perhaps Kournikova is … Continue reading

Celebrity Updates: Halle Opens Up To Oprah About Becoming A Mom

When Halle Berry called to tell gal pal Oprah Winfrey she was finally pregnant I would suspect there were screams of delight and a fair share of air kissing going on. When that was over I wouldn’t doubt that the legendary Miss O told the gorgeous ingénue to pack her bags and get to Chicago ASAP. I can hear it now: Oprah: “You better get on my plane and get on my show girl.” Halle: “Don’t forget to stock it with deep-dish pizza. The baby loves pizza…” Okay, maybe that’s not exactly how the conversation went… Regardless, the rumors are … Continue reading
