New Chatter

You think Michael Phelps hosting the premiere is awesome?  Wait till you here this!

Saturday Night Live is pulling out all stops for their premiere this weekend!  Not only will the Olympics Golden boy Michael Phelps host the show, the show will also feature Barack Obama!!!

Awesome!!!!!

According to an Obama spokesperson, “The details of the sketch are still being worked out.”

This is not Obama’s first appearance on SNL.  During the primaries he appeared opposite Amy Poehler’s Hillary Clinton in a Halloween skit.  He came to the party dressed as…  Barack Obama.

Set your DVR’s, Tivo’s WHATEVER!  THIS IS GOING TO BE LEGENDARY!

Anna Kournikova has been a queen of the court but it is almost history now.
The tennis star is still making the headlines not with her tennis shots but her modeling shoots.
She has made her place in the latest Maxim magazine spread. Kournikova has given a very revealing interview along with more revealing pictures. They will be published in the next month’s addition of Maxim.

She posed in a bikini for the magazine. Is it must to hide your best using a stupid bikini. Can’t we see more of you? Undoubtedly, Anna Kournikova has one of the best bodies I have ever seen.

A federal appeals court has finally thrown out a $550,000 fine against CBS for the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show that ended with Janet Jackson’s famous wardrobe malfunction. On Monday, a three-judge panel in Philadelphia ruled that the Federal Communications Commission acted arbitrarily and capriciously in issuing the fine for the image of nudity. People freaked out for nothing. She was covered with a tassel. There are much worse things on TV right now than Janet’s boob peek a couple of years back. Heck, I didn’t even know that this fine was still pending until Monday. I doubt many people still care about it.

Seems all isn’t perfect in the Playboy mansion these days. Apparently Hugh’s main girlfriend Holly Madison is at odds with resident tomboy girlfriend Kendra Wilkinson.

According to sources, they can’t be in the same room for more than five minutes at a time. That makes it fairly difficult to shoot “The Girls Next Door”.

What about girlfriend #3, Bridget? She says she just tries to stay out of it because she doesn’t want anyone after her!

Serial bride Patsy Kensit has split from fiancé Jeremy Healy – the man she planned to make her fourth pop hubby.

The Holby City actress, 40, was due to wed DJ Jeremy, 46 – one of house music’s top names – in the summer.

Last night a friend of Jeremy’s said it was the DJ who ended the eight-month romance with mum-of-two Patsy. The pal said: “As the wedding became a reality, I just don’t think he could go through with such a commitment. Patsy must be gutted – she surely thought she’d found the one this time.”

The pair first met when Patsy was 16 and in 1980s band Eighth Wonder. Jeremy was in Haysifantayzee, who had a 1983 hit with John Wayne Is Big Leggy.

The couple fell in love last August, after bumping into each other at a party.

Ex-Emmerdale star Patsy’s three failed marriages have all been to musicians.

She wed Dan Donovan of Big Audio Dynamite in 1988. They split in 1991.

In 1992, she married Jim Kerr of Simple Minds, dad to her son James, and in 1997 she wed Oasis singer Liam Gallagher. They had a son Lennon and split in 2000.

Patsy had reportedly asked film star friend Liz Hurley to be bridesmaid. The pal added: “She must be devastated.”

New mom Christina Aguilera was spotted just as she hopped into her limo after leaving Smashbox Studios in Los Angeles on Monday. The 27-year old Grammy award winning singer reportedly spent the day doing a photo shoot for People en Español. Later on that day, Christina was spotted with a gal pal and her music exec husband Jordan Bratman grabbing a bite to eat. There was no sign of their 2-month old son Max though. Maybe he just stayed at home with the nanny. Tsk. Is she even spending some time with her son? Or does she not care much like we did when her cover came out?

This time it was Barak Obama and Bill Clinton. And this time it was for a Grammy award and not for the presidency.

Obama won a Grammy for best spoken word album for his book The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream. He beat out former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter as well as Alan Alda and Maya Angelou.

Ok I know the world and his wife are probably sick to the back teeth of the Britney Spears and Adnan Ghalib saga. I know I pretty much am. However the man just keeps pushing to the point where you can’t help but comment on it.

Just a month into their relationship, Adnan claims to ‘risk’ Britney never speaking to him again to allegedly clear his name. In reality what he is doing is creating more scandal, and money-making opportunities, by lifting the lid on their affair and telling all to two US TV shows.

Whilst refuting claims he’s trying to sell pictures of Britney, the snapper went as far as to compare them to tragic couple Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed and claiming that the star wants to have a baby with him after being banned from seeing her own kids. He also played private voicemail messages from Britney.

He insisted he is speaking out merely to clear his name and slammed reports he is exploiting Britney to rake in cash, denying he made any financial gain from the interviews. But he admitted it could mean the fallen starlet never speaks to him again, and shatter his dreams of marrying her. Adnan also slammed critics who have questioned his relationship with the chart-topper, saying they do not want her to find true happiness, “Whatever it takes. Scandal sells”.

Scandal sells huh? Well you would know Adnan…

Just hours after footage was released of her allegedly smoking crack cocaine, singer Amy Winehouse was taken to rehab. The troubled youngster was seen entering London’s Capio Nightingale hospital by concerned dad, Mitch. As she entered the top clinic, which has reportedly treated troubled rocker Pete Doherty, she clutched a note from jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil, which read: “We’ll get through this because I f***ing believe in us.”

After assessments by specialists, Mitch took Amy home from the clinic but she must return for regular appointments. Her spokesman said: “She is in good spirits.”

Amy was dealt another blow yesterday after Blake’s mother insisted they should get divorce because of the singer’s bad influence on her son. Georgette Fielder-Civil said: “I know Amy is hooked on drugs. That’s her problem. Her pals are a bad influence on her and she’s a bad influence on her husband. I hope they go their own separate ways for their own good. I believe divorce is the only answer.”

The question is will Blake succumb to his mother’s wishes? They seem pretty devoted to me…but you never know with this pair.

At 81 years old, is he finally ready to be a daddy…again? Sources say Hugh Hefner was spotted accompanying 28 year old girlfriend Holly Madison to her gynecologist’s office. The doctor specializes in in vitro fertilization.

The Playboy founder already has four children with two former wives. Holly has let it be known that she would like to have children with Hef. She says, “I want to have kids with Hef in the next year or so. When that happens, I just want it to be me and him.” Right now they share the mansion with his two other girlfriends, Kendra Wilkinson and Bridget Marquardt.

It was rumored that she might already be pregnant with his child when the group recently went to Monaco. While on the trip, Holly shied away from alcohol and wore outfits that were abnormally concealing. Her rep says, “Holly is not pregnant, although she would like to be in the near future.”

Amy Winehouse’s bleach treatment seems to have affected her taste in music. Sporting her new chopped blonde locks, she was spotted in a London record store this week; purchasing a Luton Grils Choir album, and some sea shanties albums – ditties once sung by sailors.

General consensus is that Amy’s hairstyle is not the best move of the year, and maybe she ought to bring the beehive back. It may have been a bit of a rat’s nest but anything’s an improvement. Even no locks – which beauty experts say would happen if she tried to dye her hair dark straight away anyway.

It hasn’t affected her usual habits though. Despite the warning that she will not be given a visa to attend the Grammies this year; where she has nominations and is the headlining act, unless she passes a drug test; Amy was snapped on her way home from Soho with that telltale whiteness around her nostrils.

Oh dear….

Who said that you can only wear a wedding dress once and just for walking down the aisle? That may be the general rule but we’re all aware that when it comes to Britney Spears, there are no rules. People is reporting that the pop wreck was seen wearing her wedding dress from her walk down the aisle with KFed while she was shopping for a new car with her pap friend.

Brit and her boy toy dropped by a Mercedes-Benz dealership so that the photographer can check out some new wheels and finally get rid of his rental car. A sales associate said that Brit was quiet and did not appear that she would be buying a car. It’s a miracle! She has a brain!

New mom Christina Aguilera just posted this cute graphic on her official website and finally gave us details about her happy baby news. Max Liron Bratman was born on Saturday night and not Friday like originally reported. She also posted a message and a video for all her fans.

The singer put together a special video for the song ‘Save Me From Myself’ which came off of her ‘Back to Basics’ album. The video even features actual footage from her and husband Jordan’s personal wedding video. Christina says that it was a little something to say ‘thank you’ for the undying love and support.

Former Olympic figure skater Dorothy Hamill has been undergoing treatments for breast cancer. These treatments are taking place at Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.

She has been taking the treatments but decided to let the public know because she is planning to take a short break from her Broadway on Ice show. She plans to reup with the group later this month in Fort Lauderdale.

Her friend Dean Moye says, “She’s been dealing with this for longer than she’d want anyone to know. She’s got a good support team around her. It’s still very early in the process. They’re still doing tests to determine what steps to take next.”

Our thoughts and prayers are with her for a speedy recovery.

Lily Allen is pregnant and she has her own clothing line. What’s a girl to do? Of course she has to make a maternity collection! That’s not what she thinks though. But she does have a point.

Lily said “I’ve had a lot of offers from people to do my own maternity range but I don’t think it is the right message to send to young Britain. I’m not the best example. I’m pregnant and a bit young, aren’t I? My demographic is generally young girls, so I don’t think a maternity line is suitable. It isn’t the best impression to give them.”

All kids look away. Adults do not let children read this paragraph.

Do you remember the pivoting moment that changed you from an innocent child that believed in Father Christmas to a cynical adult who looks at Christmas as an expensive and stressful time of year? Well actress Halle Berry certainly does.

The stunning Catwoman star discovered Santa wasn’t real by catching her mother eating the cookies; cookies that she had baked herself with the tubby legend in mind.

Halle said: “The day I saw my mum eating the Santa cookies on the plate was one of the most horrific days of my life. I never let her forget it. I had at least three more good years that I could have believed had she not been so careless.”

So mothers and fathers beware…the kids will hold a grudge if you are too careless.

Christina Aguilera has a lot to celebrate about. On Tuesday, the singer celebrated her birthday with her husband Jordan Bratman in West Hollywood. They were spotted just as they were leaving Houston’s restaurant where they celebrated with friends.Come January 10, 2008, the 27-year old Christina will have more to celebrate when she gives birth via C-section. She’s reportedly narrowed down the names for her baby boy to Jackson, Jake or Max. She’s also requested an enlarged version of her November cover of Marie Claire which has her nude and showing off her baby bump. That’s a very high-end memento.

Hurray some more happy news! Not a wedding; even better. We can expect the arrival of another celebrity rugrat – this time courtesy of Lily Allen and boyfriend Ed Simons.

This will be the couple’s first child and they are all smiles. A source close to the singer said: “Lily is thrilled to be pregnant and can’t wait to become a mum. She’s a real family person. Ed’s very happy. He is really looking after her.”

Though the couple haven’t been together very long. 22-year-old Lily and Chemical Brother’s singer Ed, who is 15 years her senior, have only been dating since September. But they plan to set up home together and seem to be very pleased.

Good luck to them and congratulations.

After the news that Ike Turner had passed away I doubt the first thing his former wife did was collapse in floods of tears. Despite being married for 16 years, the abuse that Tina Turner suffered at his hands is sure to have taken all the love away.

So it is no shock to hear that the attendance list of Ike’s funeral will not include Tina.

One friend said: “Tina hasn’t seen Ike for 35 years and last time she did see him he treated her appallingly, so there’s no way she will be going to the service to pay tribute to him.”

Anyone who thinks this is wrong obviously hasn’t seen the Tina and Ike movie. I applaud the woman. Why should she attend? Ike is in her past and Tina has become a legend in her own right; not only in the music industry but in women’s hearts everywhere.

Emma Bunton is a fake! She’s not the real Baby Spice, Suri Cruise is.Apparently, Tom and Katie’s baby is a big fan of the Spice Girls. The Hollywood tot was taken to visit the rehearsals of the girl group by her parents. A sneak peek as to what went on during the visit was posted on the Spice Girls’ official website.

Tom and Katie stopped by to wish the girls luck for the forthcoming tour when they were treated to an exclusive performance. Suri danced along to the music. It looks like Suri’s getting ready to spice up our life.

The regretted tenor’s widow, Nicoletta Mantovani Pavarotti, recently decided to sue two of her dead husband’s friends because they made accusations at her address and discussed in public the state of their marriage after his death.

Nicolleta says she will not tolerate such affirmations, and if they were to stop she wouldn’t have filled a lawsuit,but by the look of things she is quite sure the two female friends of the great tenor will continue if not legally stopped. The insults at her address were seen by Nicolleta as an opportunity to make even more money, as she asks for $22 from each woman.

Lidia La Marca and Franca Corfini Strata appeared on national television and clearly stated their beliefs about the way Mantovani treated Pavarotti, even on his hospital bed. All Italy knows she wants nothing more but money, no lawsuit could make the world see her with different eyes. What kind of a wife goes to her dieing husband and asks him to sign papers cause if he doesn’t he won’t be allowed to see his 4 year old daughter anymore?
No matter what Mantavani might say or do, in my mind she is just a money obsessed woman that doesn’t know to stop her pursuit in order to keep things decent.

It seems she just can’t learn her lesson. In past months Britney Spears has been involved in countless driving incidents including running a red light, driving over a policeman’s foot; and recently she was banned from having her kids in the car with her when she was driving. But all this obviously isn’t enough to turn the pop star into the model driver.

In a move sure to prevent the ruling about her kids being overturned, Miss Spears was caught on camera by Hollywood TV sending a text on her mobile phone whilst driving. Now you would think that as a big celeb; used to being followed by the press, Britney would think twice about misbehaving and getting away with it. Doesn’t she know by now the paparazzi have a way of seeing everything?

Britney, honey, hire a chauffeur or something. You really oughtn’t to be on the roads.

Oh dear. Kylie Minogue has been publicly disgraced, according to a report today. Famous waxwork modellers, Madame Tussauds recently unveiled a sculpture of the singer in a racy position; causing our mini Aussie to feel “mortified and humiliated”.

The waxwork depicted Kylie on all fours, with her famous booty in the air. Claiming that she was not consulted about the model; the pop artist insists she did not approve of it.

But Kylie; you aren’t humiliated when you wear next to nothing on stage, nor when you strike these poses that give the idea that a position such as this would depict you correctly. So why are you surprised?

The admission comes after the unveiling of a brand new statue in her native Australia. This depicts her in nothing but a burlesque body stocking and red high heels. But she hasn’t complained about this one! Hmmm…

In retaliation to the response from the artist, the waxwork was replaced by a more modest model earlier this year; making Kylie to be the only person other than the QUEEN to have four waxwork models sculpted. She is cuter than the queen so we’ll let her have that one huh?

It’s normally something you expect to hear about middle age spinsters desperate for a man to fulfill their lives…or something like that. But recently, hip-hop star Kanye West has admitted he is desperate to be married.

Woah girls! Slow down! Before you all rush to volunteer, the hunky singer has already found his perfect woman.

I know, I know; I can here the groans of disappointment from here. But Kayne insists, “I wouldn’t get married to prove anything to anyone - it’s for me, for stability in my life, and I’m so happy that I found someone that I really love, that challenges me that keeps my life interesting, that’s just as crazy as I am.”

Following the recent death of his mother, Donda, he reveals he has realized how precious life can be, and is fully ready to marry his loving supportive fiancé, Alexis Phifer.

Isn’t it romantic? All together now… awwwww!

To be honest, I was a bit disappointed that the Spice Girls lipsynched their songs at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Thursday and the BBC One special on Friday. But sources close to the ladies are guaranteeing that they will be singing live when they go out on tour which will kick off on December 2.

An insider explains the reason for the girls making a shortcut at the fashion show saying “Last night with all the production issues and different set ups, it would have been a nightmare. Better safe than sorry. Rarely do we trust TV sound (apart from the big awards shows).”

I guess we just have to wait for the tour.

Sometimes I wish Jennifer Aniston could just find a guy and get married so all these rumors of her dating everyone in Hollywood can stop. If in case Jennifer is with him kudos to her. He is beautiful. Hopefully she is having fun with that! If she’s not, no big deal. But let’s get something straight - Brad Pitt in the looks dept. never held a candle to this guy. Pitt at best, was little boy cute. This guy looks like a hot, handsome MAN. Also - Jolie ended up on that millionaire dating site as well. It doesn’t mean crap. If Jolie is on it then lets all assume her and Brad broke up. Don’t be gullible. And by the way, Halle Berry who (in most folks eyes) is gorgeous, but had many failed relationships, is now with a hottie as well. Jen will be just fine. She is adorable and everyone needs to stop judging her “worth” based on her boyfriends or lack of. I bet over half of those that pick on her are miserable themselves.

Britney Spears has been banned from driving with her young sons in the same car after her ex-husband Kevin Federline’s attorney called an emergency court hearing to question her road skills. Kevin’s lawyer is not a “gangster lawyer”. The whole issue is the safety of the kids. Britney doesn’t seem to care about any of it. she blatantly disregards what she is being asked to do in order to even get back 50/50 custody.She is really messed up and I am beginning to believe the theory that she really does not want the kids. Hell…she just bought a new car that seats 2!I really wish the court would mandate her getting treated at a mental health facility outside of California. Maybe it will also mean that she’ll even stay home now those two days and one overnight she has the kids. Knowing her she’ll just leave them home with a nanny and the monitor and keep going out for her starbuck, gas station, taco bell, target, run etc. But I hope not.

It’s funny I think “exhaustion” is an affliction that only Hollywood people get, because I don’t know any normal people who have ever been hospitalized for exhaustion. Let’s also keep in mind that these people are extremely pampered and get paid huge sums of money to do little to nothing. They all eat very well and they even do not shoot under the burning sun, they have the best luxuries that even some other millionaires would never feel like using, they get the best hotels, best dresses and they are never made to work hard to the extent of exhaustion. They work for months but it shifts, like if they are working in the wee hours of the morning then they will not be asked to shoot in the night again. Have to seen or rather read the diva request that Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna make when they are to perform at a venue, the reps and staff reach that hotel before hand and hand them a list of requirements to tea time, wake up time, sea food and the list goes on and on. So exhaustion is really not the case and drugs overdose is the only thing that’s made her to go to the hospital.

Actress Julia Roberts knew she was destined to marry Danny Moder from the moment they met - because her body told her so. The 40-year-old began dating the then-married Moder in 2000 on the set of her movie The Mexican and insists she “just knew” the cameraman would eventually become her husband. How does that work when your body tells you this man is for your when he already had a wife whose body may have said the same thing? Ok, I guess he went with the million dollar woman over commitment to his ex-wife. I wonder if someone richer comes along will he leave Julia. I would like to feel happy for her but somehow this is wrong. You should fell ashamed Julia not happy anyways if he’ll do it to one woman the day may come for you to watch his back walk out the door for someone younger and richer than you.

Rosie O’Donnell is planning to broadcast a new show on her website, just days after scrapping her TV comeback. The star had started negotiations to front a new talk show on cable network MSNBC that would compete directly with CNN icon Larry King’s nightly broadcast. But O’Donnell revealed the deal is off earlier this week. She is just a big mouthed bully. She has nothing nice to say about anyone anymore. She has become so mean, who in their right mind wants to listen to her? She has shown she really isn’t too bright; her arguments really make no sense. I think that picture of her poor kid dressed up with a gun says it all. She can protest anything she wants, but then turn around and say, oh well its ok for my kid to play with it for now. She just sucks.
