Celebrity Parents: “For the Sake of the Children”

So here’s the deal: Actress Jaime Pressly just confirmed that she and her fiance Eric Cubiche have officially separated and will likely stay that way permanently. No major headline there considering splits in Tinseltown are a dime a dozen. Here’s what makes their situation unique: The couple has an 18-month-old son named Dezi whom they conceived during their 9-year “friendship” that evolved into a 2-year engagement. According to Pressly, the couple plans to “remain close friends as we both adore our son and want to make sure he knows we both love him more than life.” So essentially the “My … Continue reading →

Dumbfounding Hollywood Divorce

Yes, I know it’s Hollywood. And yes, I know that most celebrities march to the beat of their own drummers. But you tell me if this isn’t one of the most bizarre divorce situations in Tinseltown (or anywhere for that matter). Kimora Lee Simmons officially filed for divorce from her estranged husband, rap mogul Russell Simmons, yesterday. Nothing strange about that, right? Not unless you consider that the couple initially split in March 2006. That’s when Russell reportedly filed for divorce. Despite being served with papers that essentially told her that her husband felt he was better off without her, … Continue reading →

Hollywood’s Single Girls Speak Out

Taking her cue from Demi Moore or Brad Garrett’s ex-wife, “Baywatch” star Carmen Electra says she is still “very good friends” with her rocker ex-husband Dave Navarro—-despite having split from him more than a year ago. Electra says while they are no longer romantically involved they are still “very close.” “We talk on the phone all the time, almost every day,” Electra recently told PEOPLE Magazine. “It’s been great because we’ve been able to stay friends.” You’ll recall the pair starred on the MTV reality show “Til Death Do Us Part.” So was appearing on the show the kiss of … Continue reading →

Celebrity Milestones: Look Who’s Engaged, Pregnant and Newly Single

ENGAGED Seems as though towering basketball star Yao Ming may have met his match—off the court. The 7′ 6″ center for the Houston Rockets just announced that he plans to tie the knot with his longtime girlfriend. According to the Chinese state press, 27-year-old Yao will marry 25-year-old Ye Li in a private ceremony – possibly in their home city of Shanghai, China.

Hollywood Couples Calling It Quits

So much for their rumored summer wedding… Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson have gone their separate ways. The 39-year-old actor and the 28-year-old actress reportedly split just before Memorial Day weekend. According to PEOPLE magazine, the two are “still friends” but are no longer romantically involved. No word on what caused the split, but the timing seems a bit odd (at least to those who had been hinting of a summer wedding between the golden haired pair). After all, it was just a few months ago that the two (who met when filming 2006’s “You, Me, and Dupree”) went public … Continue reading →

The Not-So Unlikely Hollywood Couple

It’s been a few weeks since news came of a Reese Witherspoon/Jake Gyllenhaal pairing and almost instantly the two words most frequently linked with the new couple were: “unlikely match.” Now the tide seems to be changing. All of a sudden, tabloids are describing the hook up as the “perfect pairing” and “the real thing.” Confused? Don’t be. After all, the crack team of newsstand tabloid staffers isn’t exactly known for their award-winning fact finding skills. If you have been following this latest high profile Hollywood’s coupling then you know that Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon were regarded as “just acquaintances.” Both … Continue reading →

Only In Hollywood—A “Unique” Celebrity Relationship

Call me old-fashioned… or a prude. Call me anything you want, and while you’re at it could you please explain to me how some celebrity couples continuously get away with redefining the definition of marriage. Case in point: Mega-mogul Russell Simmons and his estranged wife Kimora Lee Simmons. The couple went public several months ago with the news that they had separated, BUT were still living under the same roof, raising their children together, and working side-by-side one another (Kimora heads the Baby Phat offshoot of Simmons’s Phat Farm clothing label). So to recap: they work together, parent together, and … Continue reading →
