Celebrity Good News/Bad News: Hollywood Hunk Hurts and Ellen Cheers

Matthew McConaughey might want to lay off the booze the next time he is traveling abroad. According to news reports, the handsome actor took a hit during a recent surfing trip to Nicaragua. Thieves reportedly made off with McConaughey’s cell phone and $2,000 in cash… while the actor was passed out. Star magazine reports that the movie star was so intoxicated after a night of partying that he had to be carried back to his hotel in San Juan Del Sur. This, after he reportedly stood on tables and belligerently asked patrons to help him find his missing flip-flops. The … Continue reading →

Hollywood—-It’s All Who You Know

When a guy named Rooster gets his own TV show you have to know that there’s more to the story than just his moniker. Or is there? Once I found out what Rooster’s real name was it all started to make sense. Rooster McConaughey is actually Michael Patrick McConaughey… as in the brother of Hollywood hottie Matthew McConaughey. Now you get it? Rooster’s new show is called “Black Gold” and it premieres next month on truTV. Let me start by saying that if you plan to tune in with the hopes that Rooster’s bro will come jogging by in all … Continue reading →

Fashion Files: Celebrity Designers Strike Again

In a previous blog I ranted about the growing number of celebrities who are cashing in by having their names and faces connected to random beauty products and fashion items. For example, Patrick Dempsey has his own scent with Avon, while Spider-Man star James Franco recently paired with Gucci as the face of their new men’s fragrance. Now, it appears country music star Tim McGraw is jumping on the smell-good bandwagon too by teaming up with Coty to launch his first-ever fragrance this summer. According to company spokespeople, McGraw by Tim McGraw will be a “down-to-earth, woodsy scent with touches … Continue reading →

Celebrity Fashion Designers—-Gimme a Break!

It’s no secret that Hollywood A-lister’s don’t have to have knowledge of fashion design (or fashion sense for that matter) to have an entire collection created in their name. These days you can buy leggings by Lindsay Lohan, jeans by Justin Timberlake, dresses by Madonna and tank tops by Jude Law’s ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller. But the latest round of celebrities turned fashion designers has me rolling my eyes in ways I didn’t think possible. Take for example Britney Spears. The reforming popwreck had custody of her two young sons stripped from her following her public meltdowns, yet she’s now in … Continue reading →

Hollywood’s New IT Career–Fashion Design

First it was Madonna, then Justin Timberlake , Sienna Miller and Sarah Jessica Parker jumped on the bandwagon. Next, Luke Wilson and Matthew McConaughey wanted in on the action too. Geez, is there any one in Hollywood who doesn’t have his or her own celebrity fashion line? I doubt it after learning about the latest round of TV and movie fashionistas (none who have any experience in the fashion biz—-not that that’s a prerequisite in Tinseltown these days) who are now offering you a chance to wear a little number they had a hand in creating. Add Lindsay Lohan’s name … Continue reading →

Unlikely Hollywood Fashion Designers

When I hear the name Luke Wilson the first word that pops into my mind is NOT fashion (or fashionable for that matter). Which is why I was floored when I learned that the actor is teaming up with PUMA to design a new line of modern golf apparel. Well, at least he’s not designing women’s shoes. The youngest Wilson brother says he plays “a ton of golf” so he figured it would be “fun” venturing into the world of sports apparel. So what can we look for on the links once the new Wilson/PUMA collection is unveiled? Company spokespeople … Continue reading →

Matthew McConaughey is a Dad

I sense a Hollywood hook up in the making. They were born on the same day, and who knows, in the future we might see them walking down the red carpet together. I’m talking about Matthew McConaughey’s new son and Nicole Kidman’s newborn daughter. Yesterday—7/7/08—turned out to be quite a lucky day for the superstar parents. PEOPLE Magazine’s former Sexiest Man Alive and his girlfriend of two years Camila Alves just confirmed that they are now the proud parents of a healthy baby boy. According to the actor’s rep, the newest McConaughey was born Monday at 6:22 p.m. in Los … Continue reading →
