Shocking!

I'm sure y'all are just as surprised as I am by this news... Star Jones lost all that weight through gastric bypass. Who would have thought? I'm not sure what finally made her admit this - it's not like no one guessed. Maybe she ran out of dough/freebies from her lavish wedding and decided owning up would rake in the bucks.

Jones said she grew up in a household where good food was plentiful and exercise was not emphasized. A lot of her friends were the same size, and she considered herself "fly" and "curvaceous."

Jones said as her TV career began to take hold, she surrounded herself with "yes-people" and spent her time shopping and eating - inevitably leading to weight gain and health problems.

A friend intervened and asked Jones, "So, what are we going to do about your weight?" Jones eventually went to a doctor's office (i.e. a bariatric surgeon), and the rest, as they say, is history.

Hey Ladies! Is he on the market again?

:Update:
Usher has indeed tied the knot with fiance Tameka Foster. The ceremony took place in his lawyers office, not the original extravagant wedding that was planned for last week. Ms. Fosters shady past, which Usher had limited knowledge was blamed for the sudden cancellation, but it looks like things are back on track.

It seems for undisclosed reasons (possible arguments over the wedding style and reception site) Usher and his fiance Tameka Foster have called off their wedding. The ceremony was scheduled for July 28th. It is not known at this time if the nuptials will be rescheduled, but it looks as though for the time being things are cooling down. Guess, that hefty Crate and Barrel gift list will have to wait! It is also claimed that Usher's mother and former manager may have been part of the problem. She has refused to approve of the wedding plans thus far. Guess we will just have to wait and see how this one unfolds.

LaLohan: "I can't get in trouble. I'm a celebrity."

Ah, how the mighty have fallen.

Days after Lindsay Lohan was arrested for her second DUI in three months, more information is being leaked about her strange behavior and narcissistic beliefs.

Three guys who went to a party in Malibu said they saw Lohan drinking nonstop - despite the fact that she was wearing an alcohol monitoring bracelet. Lohan's assistant then got in a fight with her boyfriend and, upset, quit her job and left.

All of a sudden Lohan hopped into the driver's seat of Dante Nigro's Denali, where he was sitting with friends Jakon Sutter and Ronnie Blake. The three men said they were taken hostage after Nigro tried to grab the wheel and Lohan responded, "If you touch me, I'll sue you."

Lohan hit the gas although Blake was trying to get out of the car - Lohan ran over and injured his foot.

Nigro said Lohan was driving at speeds upward of 100 mph, and at one point the teen queen boasted, "I can't get in trouble. I'm a celebrity. I can do whatever the f--- I want."

Lohan drove to her assistant's mother's house, but the mother called the police who apprehended her.

The three men said they have contacted attorneys and are planning on filing civil complaints against Lohan. Nigro said he feared for his life as Lohan ignored all traffic signals and speed limits, and Blake called it "pretty much the worst night of my whole summer."

Naomi, Liev have baby boy

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber's first child - a healthy boy - was born on Thursday.

The 8 lbs, 4 oz., 22.5 inch long baby, named Alexander Pete Schreiber, was born at 3:59 in Los Angeles.

He was reportedly a week premature.

Watts and the baby are resting in a hospital near Watts' home in Brentwood, CA.

The couple met when they filmed the period drama The Painted Veil. They have been dating since 2005.

Nicole Richie Will Do Time

This is hardly a long sentence for the now pregnant starlet who was busted for her second DUI within four years. She is sentenced to serve 4 days in the LA County Jail; she received credit for a 5th day because she served 6 hours when she was first arrested. She will start serving her time on Sept. 28th. Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden are expecting the birth of their child sometime in January.

J.K. Rowling calls end of popular series 'bittersweet'

This weekend I curled up and read the last Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I've followed Harry and his friends from the start, and while it was great watching them grow and mature, and of course take on Voldemort, it's sad knowing the series has come to a close.

Author J.K. Rowling said the end was bittersweet. She has spent nearly two decades crafting the extraordinarily complex tales.

She called the time immediately after the completion of the novel the hardest. "The first two days were terrible. I was incredibly low," Rowling said. "I think what is probably hard for people to imagine is how wrapped up the 17 years' work is with what was going on in my life at the time. So it all merges into one."

The book sold a record 8.3 million copies in its first 24 hours in the U.S. market. It has been warmly received by critics and fans.

For those of you who've read the book: what did you think of the end? Were you satisfied? Did you have any unanswered questions? Did anything surprise you?

Lohan- The Latest Trainwreck

Lindsay Lohan has been arrested after a car chase in which she was reportedly driving under the influence and was in possession of "usable amounts of cocaine" only weeks after being released from rehab.

Unfortunately for Lindsay her recent run ins with the law are the only newsworthy stories acredited to her. Yes Lindsay dawned the "Party Girl" title awhile ago, but in the past her party girl image didn't completely overshadow her work as an actress. Now while we sit back and watch this train wreck occur, I can't help but wonder how she's going to bounce back from all these incidents and how many more celebrities will be gracing jail with their prescence due to irresponsibility and addiciton. It seems like there is some new competition going on in Hollywood- who can hit the lowest point followed by- who can make the biggest comeback. Watch the competitors(Lohan, Spears, and Hilton) battle it out!

YouTube and CNN host The YouTube Debates

The website YouTube allowed everyday, ordinary American people to ask questions directed to the candidates for the Democratic Party nomination. CNN carried the brodcast live on TV on Monday, July 23rd.. Users had to film their questions and submit them to YouTube. This debate was a brilliant move at getting the younger generation involved on the political landscape because of the overwhelming popularity of the site within the younger generation age range being 18-35. The broadcast was a sucess, while most of the answers given by the candiates were generic, this platform really opened the door for what the future could hold in regards to public speaking and connecting with the everyday American public. The Republican Party debate will air on Monday, Sept. 17th, so users can start submitting questions now.
Here is a link to access the YouTube debates, please be sure to leave some feedback.

Price is Right gets a new host

Comedian/Actor Drew Carey has announced that he will be the one to fill Bob Barker's spot at the new host of the popular long running game show The Price is Right. Carey is already the host of the game show Power of 10, but according to sources the new gig will not conflict with any of Careys' other responsiblities.

Emmy nominations out

The nominations are in for the 59th Annual Emmy Awards, which will take place on September 16th. Most nominations were expected, however the NBC show 30 Rock received several more than most new shows- a Best Comedy Series nomination, along with Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin both being nominated. Another surprise it that the intense action thriller 24 was left out of the Best Drama Series category. The Sopranos is yet again heavily nominated, as is every guy's favorite show, Entourage. Tune in to Fox in September to see who walks away with the Emmy or just tune in to see if anyone pulls another Isaiah Washington.

Remember when she was famous for singing?

For the few Britney Spears fans still out there - and anyone else who derives some sort of pleasure from watching this trainwreck in progress: America's former favorite pop star is preparing for a comeback by making a "top-secret" music video for her new song "Get Back."

Brit's last music video was nearly 2 years ago... you know, before the back-to-back babies, car seat debacle, drunken nights on the town, umbrella incident, the close encounter with a razor and, oh yeah, who could forget those pantiless escapades...

Rumors are circulating that her brief lip-syncing performances of late were just practice for the main event - an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas in September.

And her recent frolic in the ocean wearing just her undies must have been practice too, right?

Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O'Connell Tie the Knot

On July 14th Rebecca Romijin and Jerry O'Connell said " I Do" at their California home surrounded only by a few close friends and family members. It is nice to see a wedding kept quiet and unextravagant for once, so not usual for the typical Hollywood style. Congrats! to the newlywed couple

Stupid Muggles...

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!... I just wish other people wouldn't keep trying to spoil it for fans.

The latest news about the last book in the series is that photos of the entire book have been found on several file-sharing pages and fansites. This is despite the measures Scholastic has taken to deter leak-happy spoilsports.

The most popular is a PDF of all 36 chapters in the book, plus the epilogue. But there are only 759 pages in the photos, whereas booksellers like Barnes and Noble and Amazon have listed 784 pages.

The books are said to have been shipped early by deepdiscount.com, and some are now on sale on eBay for upwards of $250. Scholastic said it is planning "immediate legal action" against deepdiscount.com and the website with the PDF.

Author J.K. Rowling has been working hard to keep her final book a surprise, as well. "As launch night looms, let's all, please, ignore the misinformation popping up on the web and in the press on the plot of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," she wrote on her official website Wednesday. "I'd like to ask everyone who calls themselves a Potter fan to help preserve the secrecy of the plot for all those who are looking forward to reading the book at the same time on publication day.

Who's to know if the purported leaked copies are truly that and not some silly attempt to ruin the ending of the popular series... I just know I won't be trolling websites for these photos... instead, I'll eagerly await my copy and spend all weekend reading it, I'm sure!

Ah, those drunken celebrities

Nick Nolte had a few heads turning when he passed out cold on the floor of the terminal in a Hawaii airport. Other passengers said the star was hardly coherent and needed assistance with simple tasks. They did however say Mr. Nolte was friendly and allowed fans to take pictures. From the looks of things Mr. Nolte was feeling really good, maybe a little too good!

TARGET PRESENTS TROPFEST@TRIBECA Contest that offers Filmmakers a shot at 10K

TARGET PRESENTS TROPFEST@TRIBECA – WORLD’S LARGEST SHORT FILM FESTIVAL, TROPFEST, RETURNS STATESIDE – AND CHALLENGES YOU TO TAKE A “SLICE” AT THE COMPETITION

***

WINNER TO RECEIVE $10,000 TARGET FILMMAKER AWARD AND TWO ROUND TRIP AIRLINE TICKETS TO SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

New York, NY [July 16, 2007] – Tropfest@Tribeca, created by Tribeca Enterprises and John Polson, founder of Tropfest – the world’s largest short film festival – announced today that 16 finalists will be chosen to compete for the Target Filmmaker Award of an unrestricted cash prize of $10,000 and two round trip tickets on to Australia, home of the original Tropfest, from Qantas Airways and Tourism Australia. Target will present Tropfest@Tribeca on Sunday, September 23, 2007 where the selected films will premiere at a free public outdoor festival, held at the World Financial Center Plaza, alongside the Hudson River. The films will be judged onsite by a jury of well-known actors and filmmakers to be announced at a later date.

Tropfest@Tribeca, as well as Tropfest, is a distinct festival which each year challenges filmmakers to incorporate a new Tropfest Signature Item (TSI) into their submissions. Every year the item changes; this year when Target presents Tropfest@Tribeca the Signature Item will be “SLICE.” In addition to the inclusion of the TSI, films must be seven minutes or under in running time and be making their first public screening. With infinite interpretations, creativity is limitless.

Tropfest@Tribeca is currently accepting submissions to compete for the $10,000 Target Filmmaker Award and trip to Australia through August 10, 2007. Further rules and instructions for submissions can be found at www.tribecafilm.com/tropfest

Tropfest@Tribeca was created in the spirit of the original Australian Tropfest to recognize the critical role that short films play in the art of filmmaking and to offer a platform for emerging filmmakers to create and showcase their films to diverse audiences. Last year’s winner of the first Tropfest@Tribeca, Matthew Bonifacio, went on to premiere his first feature length film, Amexicano, at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival.

“Tropfest@Tribeca has already proved itself as a unique platform for discovering new and original filmmakers,” said John Polson. “Each year I continue to be surprised at the unique – and sometimes bizarre! – ways our entrants interpret the TSI. I’m looking forward to this year’s event and what they’ll do with SLICE!”

“Target is proud to present Tropfest@Tribeca, an evening which will showcase diverse creativity and engage wide audiences,” said Laura Sandall, director, events marketing and publicity, Target. “We strive to make the arts affordable and accessible to communities and are excited to award one independent filmmaker $10,000 to help bring their vision to fruition.”

In its inaugural year, Tropfest@Tribeca 2006 was hosted by The Daily Show’s Ed Helms along with seven judges: Famke Janssen, Naomi Watts, Matt Dillon, Caroline Baron, Charles Randolph, Anthony LaPaglia, and Darren Aronofsky. The winner received a cash award of $2,500 and editing software.

Are Ash and Pete Tying the Knot?

It seems like every week we're hearing about a new celeb engagement or pregnancy. This week it's Ashlee Simpson and bf Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy. One gossip website claims Pete popped the question backstage at one of his band's concerts last week. A source said, "Ashlee wasn't expecting it at all; it was a total surprise. Pete whipped out a big engagement ring, dropped down on one knee and asked Ashlee to be his bride. Ashlee says it was romantic, sexy — and that she said yes right away."

Apparently Ash and Pete want to avoid the hoopla that surrounded sis Jess' wedding to Nick Lachey, so they are keeping plans mum for now.

Rumors are even circulating that Ash has a bun in the oven... but sources say that's probably not true because Ashlee can't keep secrets. "We don't think they were officially engaged 20 minutes before she started calling people to spread the news," says a friend. "If she were having a baby, she wouldn't be able to keep it to herself for five minutes."

We'll just have to wait and see if the rumors are true, and, if so, how long the marriage will last. But you know what they say... the couple that puts on eyeliner together, stays together!

More Lohan news

For once it is not Lindsay we are talking about here. Everyone's favorite party girl mom Dina Lohan is getting her own tv show. The news was leaked in an interview on the Kidd Chris radio show in Philadelphia and was also reported in the New York Post. Is she the next Oprah or how about Sally Jesse Raphael...hmmm, somehow I really doubt it! How much more embarassing can this woman get, let's hope she doesn't ruin the other two children!

She's free!

Lindsay Lohan has left Promises in Malibu after completing 45 days of residential and extended care treatment for alcoholism. She will now begin an intensive outpatient program and has elected to wear an alcohol monitoring bracelet.

We'll see how long LaLohan's good behavior lasts - especially since word is she celebrated leaving rehab by partying in Vegas! It seems much too soon for her to be facing those temptations... maybe she should ask Mandy Moore or other wholesome stars for advice on better ways to spend her nights?

...

In other Lindsay news, the (former?) wild child has not surprisingly topped a onepoll.com list of Biggest Showbiz Party Animals. She was followed by Paris Hilton and trainwreck on-again/off-again couple Pete Doherty and Kate Moss.

Additionally, the former Disney teen queen is threatening legal action after a hacker stole compromising photos of her with Calum Best off her computer.

I guess there's no rest for the weary in the party-hardy life of Linds!

What Happened to Lizzie McGuire?

Can you believe it's only been 3 years since Hilary Duff was on Disney's tween show Lizzie McGuire?

Guess after all her talk about being a wholesome role model she's decided to sex up her act.

It seems like she's trying awfully hard - I'm just not feeling those harem pants, though!

Is this the first step to her becoming more like fellow teeny bopper star LaLohan? Or is she trying to send a message to ex Joel Madden that he is missing out?

What do you think? Hot or not?

Sexy Salma?

E-Poll Market Research has announced their own list of Hollywood's sexiest celebrities.

40-year-old Salma Hayek tops the list, while Carmen Electra and Jessica Alba tied for second.

The top 15 celebrities have an average age of 36, and those missing include notables Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and the Olsen twins.

What do you think? Is Hayek really the sexiest? Should Jessica Biel be higher than number 9? Is top-ranked guy Matthew McConaughey really only 41st?

Springfield, VT to host The Simpsons Movie premiere

The small town of Springfield, VT has won the contest to be the city that hosts the movie premiere of " The Simpsons". The town was in competition with 13 other Springfield locations across the US. The town in Vermont was chosen because of its strong similarities to the fictional town on Springfield in the Simpons episodes. The actual location that the fictious Springfield is based upon has never been revealed. All of the towns had to submit videos, and the winning video consisted of a Homer Simpson lookalike running through the town chasing after a big pink doughnut and creating a big ruckus. Each other town that submitted a video will also be given screenings of the film before it opens on July 27th.
Some towns took the competetion very serious and it was thought that Springfield, MA's use of getting senator Ted Kennedy involved would be sure to make them the winner, but alas no luck. Hopefully the small town appeal of Springfeild, VT will work out nicely for the film premiere. To quote Matt McAllister, professor of popular culture at Penn State University:"Springfield is everywhere and nowhere..."

If you missed the Live Earth concert this past weekend, shame on you! Artists like Kanye West, Kelly Clarkson, John Mayer, The Police rocked Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. Don't worry though, you can still watch any of the performances you missed at http://liveearth.msn.com/. The concert was held to raise awareness about our climate crisis and called the world to action to help our earth. Many artists, like Alicia Keys and Keith Urban, (above) performed with each other and made the fans go wild! Help make a difference and "GO GREEN!"

The Beckham's Take Over!

Get ready to become familiar with Victoria Beckham and her family arriving soon to the United States! She's so classy, isn't she? Her gorgeous hubby, David Beckham and their three sons are set to make the giant move to L.A. and we are excited! Victoria's documentary (NOT reality show, as she claims) called Victoria Beckham: Coming to America is set to air on NBC on July 16 @ 8PM EST/PT. Definately tune in, if not to see what Victoria's life is like, then definately to stare at her man candy, Becks!

The Spice Girls Plus One Reunion Tour

The Spice Girl Reunion tour set to kick off has some unexpected additions to the group: a therapist. Apparently they want to prevent any of the girls dropping out midway through the tour due to arguments.
It's pretty sad that a group of women not girls anymore need a chaperone for their cat fights. So I guess we can sum up all the cheery smiles are just for show after all I didn't realize Posh's uh new additions weren't the only fake thing on tour after all.

It Takes Two for Eva and Tony

Once wasn't enough to seal the deal for Eva Longoria and Tony Parker. After marrying in a civil ceremony in Paris City Hall on Friday, the two had a huge church wedding on the supposedly lucky 7/7/07.

Apparently 250 guests made it to the historic Church of Saint Germain l'Auxerrois near the Louvre museum for the nuptials - including Desperate Housewives co-stars Felicity Huffman, Teri Hatcher and Nicollette Sheridan.

A reception followed at a 17th century castle outside of Paris, the Chateau of Vaux le Vicomte.

One can't help but wonder if the lavish arrangements were a conscious effort to upstage the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes Rome spectacle last year! Nevertheless, let's hope two ceremonies bring twice the luck for this May-December couple (Longoria's 32 and Parker's 25).

Is Avril Still the Best Damn Thing?

The Rubinoos filed a lawsuit against Avril Lavigne, claiming her hit "Girlfriend" blatantly ripped off their 1979 song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend."

"You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know the songs are the same," said Jon Rubin, Rubinoos lead singer who is not part of the lawsuit.

This isn't the first such accusation Lavigne has faced. Fellow Canadian singer and labelmate Chantal Kreviazuk told Performing Songwriter magazine in June 2007 that Lavigne stole one of her song titles.

"Avril will also cross the ethical line, and no one says anything," Kreviazuk said in the interview.

Did she cross the line with "Girlfriend"? You decide.

Paris the Power Ballad

This video is freaking great! Hope you all enjoy!
The "lyrics" were taken from the Paris Hilton post jail Larry King Live interview.

John Stamos is crazy!

Check out this video of the E.R./ Full house star on his press tour in Australia:

Come on over, come on over baby...

Dirty diapers are in the future for "Dirrty" singer Christina Aguilera and hubby Jordan Bratman.

Rumors have been rampant that the two, married since November 2005, are expecting their first baby, and now they've been confirmed!

Here's to hoping Christina makes a better mom than fellow Mickey Mouse Club alum Britney Spears... shouldn't be too hard as long as she retires the assless chaps!

There are no words

Would you pay 305.00 for an empty can of dog food? How about used tissues and Q-tips for 50.00? That is how much some people are willing to pay for celebrity garbage. This just blows my mind. They actually have true ebay auctions for this crap. Check out this site. I truly can not believe people are buying into this, the site is mostly Paris Hilton stuff, but I have heard stories about people paying thousands of dollars for a celebrity's half-eaten sandwich or empty O.J. container. Wow! Check out what these guys did in New York City, hilarious!

Happy Birthday Lindsay, enjoying rehab?

Lindsay Lohan is finally 21!! Get this girl a drink to celebrate.....oh wait! nevermind, at least now she is legal. My how these A-list bars and clubs manage to bend the rules.

Nick is being a bad boy!

It seems things were getting hot and heavy between Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo at a private resort in Mexico. Photos of the couple engaged in a heavy make-out session were published by Life and Style magazine. Apparently there is more to the story, the couple is trying to keep racier photos and video out of the magazines and off the internet. It is said that the content of these other images would make the Paris Hilton sex tape look like nothing. I bet she is more fun than Jessica, but one can't help but wonder what the blonde bombshell is thinking about all this ::sound of crickets::
