Familiar Faces in Unfamiliar Places

In a move that she herself considers “highly unusual,” TV talk show host Ellen DeGeneres is joining the ranks of supermodel Christie Brinkley, actress Drew Barrymore and singer Rihanna as the face of CoverGirl cosmetics. Not only is the 50-year-old comedian following in the footsteps of the aforementioned beauties she is also getting paid a sizeable chunk of cash for doing so. The popular cosmetic company is reportedly paying DeGeneres a cool million to promote the brand. Super gorgeous Brinkley–the original face of CoverGirl cosmetics–promoted the company for more than 20 years and at 54 years old was recently rehired … Continue reading →

Sizing Up Brinkley’s Latest Divorce

So much for going after Liz Taylor’s record… Last week Christie Brinkley announced that she has sworn off marriage… for good… maybe. Seriously, the former supermodel, who recently took her cheating ex-husband Peter Cook to divorce court in what was considered one of the ugliest splits in Long Island history, says she is over the idea that marriage is forever. Did I mention Cook was Brinkley’s fourth husband? In the end Brinkley and Cook settled out of court with the gorgeous blond bombshell paying her philanderer ex $2 million in exchange for sole custody of their children. By all accounts … Continue reading →

Celebrity Updates: New Gig(s), New Home, and a Hot New Couple

Does Ryan Seacrest ever sleep? The “American Idol” host took over the title of “Hardest Working Man In Show Business” from Regis Philbin (who took it over from Dick Clark) months ago, and it looks like he’s living up to the billing. (If he’s not the “hardest” working man in show business then he certainly is one of the busiest.) Seacrest has just been tapped to host the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, which is scheduled to air next month. The announcement comes on the heels of a prior declaration that Seacrest got the job of hosting the Super Bowl pre-game … Continue reading →

More Good, Bad, and Ugly Celebrity Tidbits

THE GOOD Good… no, make that great news for teen hip-hop star Lil’ Romeo. According to news reports, he’s bound for the University of Southern California and a potential career as a professional basketball player (that’s if all goes according to plan). Lil’ Romeo (his real name is Percy Romeo Miller) is currently a junior at Beverly Hills High School. On Friday his record label confirmed the teen musician has committed to playing basketball for the Trojans in 2008. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree because Lil’ Romeo’s father, hip-hop mogul Master P, had tryouts with … Continue reading →

The Stork Works Overtime In Hollywood

After a string of high profile celebrity breakups it’s refreshing to hear about celebrity couples prepping for the arrival of their first child. This is especially true in the case of former “Felicity” star Keri Russell. According to news reports, the 30-year-old actress is pregnant and will welcome her first child (she’s engaged to a California contractor) this summer. Russell’s rep told reporters her client and Deary got engaged last year. I don’t know about you, but for some reason I was a HUGE “Felicity” fan. I am by no means in the show’s target demo group, but for some … Continue reading →

Celebrity Divorces—What Fuels Battles Like These?

It’s no secret I was shocked when I heard the news that model Christie Brinkley was getting divorced yet again. And, like many others, I was even more shocked when I learned what triggered her filing. Tabloid trash aside even the most uninterested reader has got to feel horrible for the children involved in this divorce (and those not nearly as contentious as Brinkley’s), which is why I was stunned when I heard what transpired a few days ago when Brinkley and her estranged husband Peter Cook tried to hammer out a temporary custody agreement involving their 11-year-old son Jack … Continue reading →

Why Christie Brinkley Kicked Her Husband To The Curb

A few days ago I blogged about Christie Brinkley’s surprise split from her husband of 10 years Peter Cook. At the time of the announcement no reason was given for Brinkley’s decision to file for divorce. Now, a New York newspaper says it has uncovered the reason why Brinkley kicked her husband out of their Hampton mansion. The New York Post reports that Cook has been having an affair with a 19-year-old who he allegedly promised he would dump his supermodel wife for. But, that’s just the beginning of what the paper reports is a long list of “poor decisions” … Continue reading →
