Gordon Ramsay’s New Jewel

Gordon Ramsay, the hot-tempered Scottish chef and star of Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares” has something to smile about these days (if he could take a break from screaming at the people around him). The celebrity chef just opened a new restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood, this week. To celebrate Ramsay invited some of his famous friends to indulge on his signature dishes. By all accounts the event was as star-studded as a big Hollywood movie premiere with celebrity guests including “Will and & Grace” co-star Eric McCormack, “Survivor” host Jeff Probst, Kim Kardashian and soccer … Continue reading →

That’s where the Material Girl has been camping out for the last week while in town for the Cannes International Film Festival. According to French newspapers, the pop super duper star was irate when she discovered that a camera crew from a French television station snuck into her suite while she was out whooping it up at a late night party.

Just Saying No

Spice Girl turned reality TV star Victoria Beckham is denying that she is adding to her clan. The girl group singer insists that she is not pregnant (yet) and is currently concentrating on spending “quality time” with her three young sons. Beckham sparked rumors a few weeks ago when she told reporters that she dreamed of adding a baby girl to her brood of boys. Further fanning the rumor flames was the fact that the rail-thin mom was noticeably staying away from alcohol at her birthday celebration last month. Earlier this week the spicy mama issued this statement in an … Continue reading →

UGH! Hold on a minute and you might understand why David Beckham’s wife is set to make her movie debut in “Hardy Men.” According to reports, she was personally hired by the film’s star Tom Cruise.

He’s an award-winning actor, a world-famous comedian, and an accomplished author and now the legendary Bill Cosby is adding another line to his resume—recording artist. The 70-year-old actor is just a few weeks away from releasing his first hip-hop album, but don’t expect to hear The Cosby Show star to rap on any of the tracks.

Now That’s Love

And you thought you loved your in-laws… Super soccer star David Beckham is putting other son-in-law’s to shame with his latest move to prove just how much he loves his wife’s parents. According to new reports, the L.A. Galaxy star just presented his ultra-luxe mansion in Dubai to his mother and father-in-law as a token of his appreciation “for creating the woman he plans to spend the rest of his life with.” I’m not sure if I should cry or gag.

Holly Jolly Celebrity Gifts—-Spice Girl Style

What did you get from your spouse this Christmas? Soccer star David Beckham gave his Spice Girl wife a gift I found very interesting. Not because it was priced at $1,500, but because it was made of paper and not precious gems. Victoria Beckham’s hot hubby dropped more than a grand to get a fashion book for his famous wife. The expensive (to me anyway—I’m sure $1,500 is stocking stuffer range for the Beckham’s) Christmas present, Valentino Garavani: First Name in Fashion is one of just 2,000 copies made available worldwide. Victoria’s was personally signed by the legendary designer, covered … Continue reading →
