Good News for Donald Trump and Jennifer Hudson

The good news for Donald Trump: He actually convinced Hollywood-types to appear on the next installment of “Celebrity Apprentice.” The bad news: “Celebrity” is a relative term and some of the individuals cast in the new season of Trump’s reality TV show will not be recognized by half the audience. Even more bad news: The pathetic state of the economy is forcing NBC to cut the cost of its primetime schedule, which means viewers will have to suffer through two hours per week of “Celebrity Apprentice.” So who are the “celebrities” The Donald talked into competing for their charities of … Continue reading

Trump Tries To Save The Notorious Trio

Man, this guy never gives up. I have never read Donald Trump’s best-seller The Art of the Deal, but I’m guessing there’s a chapter in there about persistence. After getting slammed by Rosie O’Donnell upon inviting her to appear on the upcoming “Celebrity Apprentice,” Trump is at it again. Not with the former “View” co-host, rather the real estate mogul is going after a younger, blonder, shapelier set. The Donald recently told New York reporters that he is courting the infamous trio of party princesses that have most recently called rehab centers and jail cells home. That’s right; I’m referring … Continue reading

Lindsay’s Flour Shower and Nia’s New Baby

I get the feeling a little flour isn’t going to stop actress Lindsay Lohan from wearing fur again. Animal rights activists tried to get the 22-year-old movie star to reconsider her fashion choice last night by pelting her with a flour bomb as she entered a Paris nightclub wearing a fur stole. A group of rowdy animal rights supporters reportedly showered Lohan with a bag of flour just as she was entering the famed VIP Room Theater with her gal pal, disc jockey Samantha Ronson. According to reports, Lohan was unfazed by the white powder and simply dusted off her … Continue reading

Untainted Hollywood

Just call her the anti-Britney… and Paris… and Lindsay. Fourteen-year-old actress Dakota Fanning is as pure as they come in Hollywood and the “Charlotte’s Web” star says she intends to stay that way as long as possible. Given the sordid tales of other childhood stars, who have been in and out of rehab several times before they could get their driver’s license, I would say Fanning has already far surpassed expectations. During a recent promotional tour for her new movie “The Secret Life of Bees,” the teen star made a pledge to refrain from holding up 7-11s, having premarital sex, … Continue reading

The New Face of…

Singing, dancing, and starring on the big screen is simply not enough if you want to remain hot in Hollywood these days. Apparently, when you are not hitting your mark on a movie set you need to be strutting your stuff as the new face of some hip, hot fashion brand. Just ask the following Hollywood fashionistas: GWYNETH PALTROW You can catch her steaming up the screen in this summer’s “Iron Man” and when she is not turning up the heat on the red carpet Gwyneth Paltrow is hard at work at her new job—acting as the face of luxury … Continue reading

Would You Make a Good Parent for a Deaf Pet?

I really took my quest to heart in regards to finding information about training deaf dogs for my friend who found out she’d adopted a deaf puppy. In addition to finding information on the Internet, I also posted a request for help in the Pets forum. Interestingly, several Families.com family members responded that either they’ve had deaf pets or knew of people who did. Not just dogs, but also cats and even a ferret was mentioned. The one thing that wasn’t mentioned was getting rid of any kind of deaf pet. Everyone who shared stories of deaf pets mentioned how … Continue reading

Rowling’s New Adventure, Tyra to Adopt and Britney Tops Santa’s “Naughty List

Author J.K. Rowling is either giving millions of Harry Potter fans reason to hope or she’s leading them on big time. The 42-year-old multi-millionaire recently hinted that she might add an eighth book to the boy wizard franchise. You’ll recall earlier this year Rowling ended the series with the release of the seventh and supposed final novel, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. Now the author is revealing that she is tempted to revisit the world of Hogwarts just one more time although the story may not be built around the title character. Rowling told reporters, “There have been times … Continue reading

Celebrity Holiday Weekend Weddings

Labor Day weekend was a popular pick for celebrities looking to tie the knot on the first day of the month. Among the stars exchanging vows yesterday was “Grey’s Anatomy’s” Kate Walsh who married movie executive Alex Young on Saturday. The 39-year-old bride made no secret that she was “more than ready” to walk down the aisle. After all, she met her husband (a production co-president at 20th Century Fox) in February and by May they were engaged. Then, less than four months later they got hitched. According to In Style, Walsh wore a custom-made Monique Lhuillier wedding gown (custom-made … Continue reading

What The Heck Did She Say?

You feel terrible for her or you’re still rolling on the floor laughing. Either way Lauren Caitlin Upton sure is making a name for herself… and it’s not because the beauty pageant contestant walked away with the title of Miss Teen USA Friday night. She didn’t. But, I don’t think many people noticed. Rather, most viewers who tuned into the Donald Trump owned pageant on Friday night were trying to figure out what the teen was trying to say when she fought to answer a question posed by show host Mario Lopez. Upton was asked, “Recent polls have shown a … Continue reading
