New Chatter

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?

Scarlett Johansson is going full steam ahead with her album of little known, but critically beloved, songs by Tom Watts plus one original song. The record is set to drop in stores in May and none other than music legend David Bowie provides background vocals on two tracks. And if it’s anything to go by, Bowies swears that Scarlett is really good. He says on his official website that “The songs are great, really good Tom Waits stuff, and Scarlett’s performances are mystical and twice cool.” Is he talking about Scarlett’s singing or her boobs? I’m a little confused. There’s a double standard there if you read it carefully.

Yeah! The Oscars are saved. After watching months of reruns and the cancellation of the Golden Globes, we can breathe a sign of relief.

Hollywood producers have finally decided to give the writers who have been on strike some of the profit that their writing might make online.

Writers Guild of American president Patric M. Verrone announced Sunday afternoon, “We have reached a historic agreement that covers new media for writers and guarantees our share in the future. This morning, based on the unanimous recommendation of the WGA negotiating committee, the WGA has called for a contract ratification vote by the membership.”

No, we’re not talking about some celebrity mud wrestling or something like that. Believe it or not, we’re talking about the Superbowl. Believe it or not, even the ladies are getting ready to check it out.

With cute quarterbacks like Eli Manning and Tom Brady, it’s no wonder this will be the biggest co-ed Superbowl party ever. But which one do the ladies like more? Cosmo mag says more women vote for Tom Brady.

Here’s to the best looking game ever….

Rosie’s always been a little outspoken, and now she’s aiming that at Britney Spears and her family. She blames Britney’s early stardom for her meltdowns. Rosie posted a poem on her blog, expressing her sentiments and emphatically stating that she would never let her daughter Vivi do that. Read on for the poem.

We all know that celebrities can be just like regular people and love some karaoke. A couple of stars proved just that for Ellen DeGeneres’ 50th birthday celebration on Friday. The talk show host’s birthday was actually on Saturday, so, Happy Birthday Ellen!.

Stars on the video sang to the tune of Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’. Jake Gyllenhaal did a little lip synching and booty-shaking to it. Other celebrities who joined in on the fun were Victoria Beckham, Queen Latifah, Kate Walsh, Jamie Foxx, Paris Hilton, Sharon Osbourne, David Spade, Heidi Klum, Masi Oka and Celine Dion. It’s quite a funny clip.

Jessica Simpson is being blamed for her boyfriend Tony Romo’s less than impressive last few games with the Dallas Cowboys and someone thinks that it’s just not fair. Surprisingly enough, it’s Jessica’s ex John Mayer who comes to her defense. The sensitive yet cocky rocker posted a blog on his website defending Jess entitled “Don’t Ex with Texas”.

He goes to say that “All witty barbs, blogs, and fashion policing aside, that girl loves Texas more than you know. It’s one of her most defining traits as a person. So please don’t try and take that away from her. (You probably wouldn’t be able to, but it’s less work for all involved.)”

Well I know that every guy I spoke to regarding TV plans for Christmas day had scheduled a viewing of the Dr Who special. Most of them had never shown an interest in the series before. I was puzzled, until I realised that this was the episode Kylie Minogue was to make an appearance in.

It seems that the majority of the male population thought the same too. Kylie’s guest appearance on the show boosted ratings higher than they have ever been since its revival.

A massive 12.2 million people tuned in to watch the Dr Who special; which is half the available audience. An upgrade on last year where the Christmas special managed to lure in 37% of the audience.

Whether her acting was any good I couldn’t tell you. Personally I was too busy doing what you do best at Christmas – eating lots of chocolate. Good or not it seemed to do the job though.

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.

Along with touring the world for their reunion tour, the Spice Girls are also filming a documentary about their reforming called ‘Giving You Everything’. A sneak peek of the documentary has made its way on the internet and it features some very raw moments.You can see a very emotional Ginger breaking down in tears. There’s also a blunt Sporty talking about Geri’s departure from the band saying “she could have really fucked things up for us”. Just from that sneak peek, you can tell that the documentary is pretty much a very raw and candid look at all the girls. It goes away from seeing the high-profile celebrities that they are and is quite a tell all.

So, are you worried that the Golden Globe’s won’t take place because of the writer’s strike? Not if Alec Baldwin can help it.

Alec has graciously offered to let everyone hang out in his apartment for the show. Remember he is up for a Golden Globe for his show 30 Rock.

On the menu for the gala? “Tuna salad, whitefish salad, egg salad…potato salad, macaroni salad, coleslaw…wine or Amstel.”

He says, “A quick Red Carpet, hosted by Radioman, will be held at the parking lot of Tavern on the Green before we are all shuttled to my apartment building. ‘Round…5:30-ish? Sound okay?”

He goes on, “Looking forward to seeing you all on January 13th at my place.”

Can’t speak for everyone, but I, for one, will be there. I can’t turn down a good egg salad sandwich.

Uma Thurman and Alicia Keys were caught having a laugh during the press conference on Tuesday for the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize Concert at the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Oslo, Norway. The concert was designed to pay tribute to the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize laureates for their achievements and to promote awareness of environmental issues and global warming.

Other people present ate the press conference include the likes of Kevin Spacey and Annie Lennox. Those are some mighty big names doing some big publicity for a very big cause. Kudos to them, it’s almost like they’re the ones getting the award.

She might have been sacked from the X-Factor but we still love her; especially now the gorgeous Kate Thornton is expecting her first child. Hurrah!Engaged to DJ Darren Emerson, Kate was spotted having a scan last week. Could this potentially put the big day on hold?

A source said: “Kate was beaming from ear to ear. But funnily enough, when an X Factor trailer came on the TV in the hospital waiting room, she turned her head away.”

Well Kate forget all that business now. Not only are we deliriously happy for you and hubby-to-be; we know you will bounce back with a vengeance.

Did I mention I love it when I can report about good stuff like this? More happy ever after stories please…

While we are all enamored with Turk and Carla on Scrubs, in real life, Donald Faison dates CaCee Cobb, the best friend of none other than Jessica Simpson.  So, what’s his take on Jess’s obsession with Tony Romo?

Donald actually likes the two of them together.  Will they be hooking up for cozy couples only dinners together now?  Maybe not.  Donald says, “CaCee and I prefer to keep our relationship away from the glitz and cameras.  But he is a great guy.”

They did spend some time together when the two couples met to help CaCee celebrate her thirtieth birthday at Teddy’s nightclub.  Donald continued about Tony, “I think he’s really, really, really smart.  He’s a really genuine guy.”

Jessica with a smart guy?  It’s a good thing because we all know she’s a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

I remember sitting up, watching reruns, and dreaming about marrying the hunky Scott Baio. Of course, that was before I realized that he was more my mom’s age than my own.

For those of you who watch reality TV, you may have seen VH1’s reality show featuring Scott. It was called, simply, Scott Baio is 45…and Single. Sad life.

Well, now he’s not quite so single anymore. (Not to mention the fact that he’s now 46!). Scott finally married longtime sweethear Renee Sloan. They had small, private ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday.

At the wedding were close friends and family, including Renee’s 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship and Scott and Renee’s newborn daughter, whose name is still unknown by the media.

Scott and Renee met years ago at the Playboy Mansion and dated off and on throughout the late 1990s. They remained friends and became romantically involved again about two years ago. In the past Scott didn’t think he was marriage material. Now, however, he’s in for life.

Well, not literally because that would just be silly. Especially being as Michael Jackson is the most recent famous bod to join the environmentally friendly crowd and purchase the Toyota Prius car. The eccentric star, who has often been accused of having a carbon footprint and frequently charters private planes, spent around $20,000; joining the masses including Leonardo DiCaprio, Will Ferrell, Cameron Diaz and Harrison Ford.

I doubt this will make Mike the environment guru all of a sudden but at least it’s a step in the right direction. Maybe it will make up for the fact that after all the plastic surgery the man has had we’re not entirely sure if he is even bio degradable anymore.

But anyway, this car is supposed to be Hollywood’s hybrid car of choice; running on electricity and petrol. Ferell has gushed about how much he loves his car; even going as far as to say it is “sexy”.

Hmm; good to the environment and sexy…oh, and the car’s good too.

She may be the cause for the early demise of the Pussycat Dolls but Nicole Scherzinger is still a performer. The lead Pussycat Doll turned solo artist was carried on to the stage for her performance at ‘Movies Rock: A Celebration of Music in Film’ which was held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday.The 29-year old singer gave a surprise performance of ‘Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend’ which was famously performed by Marilyn Monroe in the 1953 film ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’. Nicole even wore a pink dress similar to that of the blonde bombshell’s.

Catch the performance when the show airs on Friday, December 7 at 9PM ET/PT on CBS

We’ve seen Angelina Jolie head into third world countries in hopes of helping them recoup losses. Now we see the other half of Hollywood’s most beautiful couple heading out at home.

Brad Pitt spent Monday in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans for his “Make It Right Project”. The project will push for the building of 150 environmentally homes that will be affordable to residents who were uprooted after Hurricane Katrina. This area is one of the poorest regions in the city and was the site of some of the worst flooding caused by Katrina in 2005.

Pitt is seeking pledges to help with the work. He has agreed to match up to $5 billion in contributions with billionaire Steve Bing agreeing to do the same.

The area surrounding Pitt and the onlookers was lined wit hot pink tents marking where the homes would stand. Brad said they chose pink because “it screams the loudest. It says people are coming back.”

Kudos to you, Brad, for using your celebrity status to push for something good!

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!

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.

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.

Unlucky at love singer/actress Jessica Simpson has expressed interest in finding a man from Boston. “I think Boston has cute boys,” she tells Extra. “I need a Boston man. A Boston man is closest to a Southern man, I believe.” I’m not a big fan, but at least she has enough sense to stay out of trouble and take advantage of the opportunities she gets. Her singing/movie career ain’t happening, but she makes her money selling the shoes, swimwear, extensions and Proctiv. Unlike some of colleagues, she seems to understand this is not gonna last forever and she needs to strike while the iron is hot. So while everybody else is going to court/jail/or rehab, she is going to the bank. Look at the others that are singers just like her from Amy to Britney all are either druggies or jail bound or in courts fighting for custody. At least the same cannot be said for Jessica, she is out there doing her stuff and that’s the best way to live a life.

Celine Dion has vowed never to drink alcohol because she is terrified she could fall victim to an addiction. The singer - who has credited her marriage to her manager Rene Angelil, 65, for keeping her away from the party scene - says cases of alcoholism in her family have put her off booze. Yeah only stupid people with more shit than brain cells in their head do not learn from other’s mistakes and then when they make mistakes themselves they then too fail to learn and more often than not plunge themselves in the sea of alcohol. Look at my friends for instance, one of them has been hospitalized on 2 occasions for excessive drinking and we had to call his parents at one point but yet he say he cannot start a meal before he has gulped down some trash beer. I know beer is not harmful but then slowly it becomes an addiction that stays on for ever. It’s been seven years since I quit alcohol and today I never ever feel like tasting it again.

Jennifer Lopez is coming out with a new fragrance. She recently had an interview on how and why she created the perfume ‘Deseo’, which is Spanish for desire. She says that she was inspired by the scents in her garden and that she thinks the perfume industry is going good right now with the many other artists releasing fragrances.

The perfume is due out in February and is a mix of scents of “watery bamboo leaves, garden yuzu, Sicilian bergamot and freesia; the heart is composed of star jasmine, pink geranium flower, orange blossom and French mimosa, and the drydown is of warm amber, oak moss, sensual musks, creamy sandalwood, atlas cedar wood, patchouli and mineral accord”.

You can get it in a pretty nifty bottle which is in the shape of a “diamond in the rough”.

Not only does it seem like every leading lady in Hollywood is pregnant, but it seems like every leading lady in Hollywood is pregnant with TWINS. Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman might be expecting twins. I am currently pregnant with twins and am probably about as far along as Christina… We look very much the same in terms of fundal height (height of the top of the uterus). There’s not really any way to know for sure until she confirms it or gives birth, but I certainly would not be surprised. Well only the coming months will tell that whether or not she is having twins or not. By the way if we take past happenings into considerations then she is not going to give us a clue whether the physician or the gynecologist has confirmed anything of this sort or not.

Thanks to who ever it may concern if at all it does make a difference, for cluing the last 3 humans on earth into the fact that models look different in real life than they do in pictures (not necessarily worse, just different). That is an amazing observation. Have you submitted this to the Nobel committee yet, because you may be a lock for the Science Nobel next year? Yeah, without makeup, she looks closer to her actual age (which is what? 22?). Still looks pretty hot. Chicks start wearing makeup in junior high so they can look older and more “sophisticated” (and needless to say, most fail at the second one). Somewhere in the mid-twenties, the makeup makes you look older all right, but in a bad way. When you’re spackling it on to cover up years of smoking, tanning, not getting enough sleep, you may as well not even bother because you’ll just end up looking like a tranny (or Paris Hilton). Not hot.

Gloria Estefan has had to cancel all her public appearances for the immediate future. And no, it’s not because she’s sick, hung over, tired or just plain eh. Her beloved mother, who is also named Gloria, has gotten ill.

The singer was in LA and was scheduled to appear on several shows this weeks but had to fly back to Miami on Sunday night when she got news that her mother was rushed to the hospital.

All shows will be rescheduled but with Gloria’s mom in critical condition, it’s obvious that rescheduling is the farthest thing from her mind right now. I just hope her mother gets better.

The bottom line is how good she is in the sack. We are all just guessing. I would take a girl who is not quite as hot as the others if she was better in the sack. JLH is attractive, but she isn’t attractive enough to where if she is not good in the sack she can overcome it via her looks. There are a few women that are so good looking that they can just lay there and it is worth it but JLH is not one of them. She’s trying a little too hard, but she looks lovely just the same. And that dress is killer; really shows of her beautiful curves. And the rack is back! (Not that I care about it, I’m a straight girl! But I can still admire!) She is one of my fav stars. She is so sweet and down to earth, and sexy/pretty in a natural way. I did like her better with longer hair. And her boyfriend looks like a real doof. But heck, he’s probably a nice guy, so I should just shut the hell up.

Catherine Zeta-Jones was announced as the new face of high-end jewelry line Di MODOLO. I think this lady stands out as a person who simulates all the great virtues of a beautiful woman of out times, she just doesn’t have a pretty face but also the grace and attitude to match her looks. And unlike other celebs it looks like all natural beauty to me. Catherine has beautiful curves that she’s not afraid to flaunt and a beautiful face to go with it. If you have a close look at her and I am sure most men always have a very close look at her(something not to be said), she is just 2 shy of being aged 40 but the wrinkles are nowhere to been seen and that’s called spotless beauty, woman would be jealous of her but also many would admire her for her look. It’s something that women would crave for. And why just a jewelry brand I think her face is so famous that she could be the face of many high end perfume companies, apparel companies and you name it and she could be there to launch it.

Hilary Swank thanks her father for her looks, insisting she inherited his good genes. The actress, 33, insists dieting and exercise have nothing to do with her slim physique. Her looks? Ok. Did I read that she THANKS him for those looks? I mean don’t get me wrong she isn’t the way worst looking woman ever…but…to be out THANKING people for THOSE looks is a little over the top for her. It’s like she’s just asking to be a target of ridicule…Looks are one thing and should not be clubbed with the physique, one could have the looks of their parents but you can always trim and grow your physique as you’d like yourself to look like. For me she has average looks and does not fall into the league of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, ah ha do not try and jump to hit me (her fans) that’s just an opinion that I have aired here and you can always have yours’.
