JAMIE LYNN SPEARS BLUES WITH CASEY DRAMA.

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

With all the drama going on with Casey Aldridge, thank God that Jamie Lynn and the baby Madden were not in the car. Five days after flipping his pick-up truck over in what was — quite possibly — a drinking-related accident, Casey Aldridge has been released from the hospital. As we previously reported, the 20-year-old, who is Jamie Lynn Spears's boyfriend and the father of her child, Maddie Briann, had just left his cousin's bachelor party, and was carrying several other party-goers in his vehicle, when he lost control and drove off the road

BREAKING NEWS: MADONNA HOSPITALIZED AFTER HORSE ACCIDENT--HORSE STARTLED BY THE PAPPARAZZI!

Sunday, April 19, 2009



Madonna suffered "minor injuries and bruises" Saturday while horseback riding in New York's Hamptons, her publicist has announced.

http://www.adoptabeagle.org/Images_Website/horse_carriage_accident.jpg
On Saturday evening, Liz Rosenberg said that the entertainer, 50, had already been released from Southampton Hospital after she had been thrown off a horse that had been startled paparazzi.

Rosenberg said the photographers had jumped out of the bushes to snap Madonna, who was visiting friends on Eastern Long Island for the weekend. Further medical tests are to be conducted, and doctors will continue to observe Madonna, the rep added.

In 2005, Madonna broke several bones in a horse-riding accident – cracking three ribs and breaking her collarbone and her hand while at Ashcombe, her country estate outside London. The following year, she suffered a hernia and quickly recovered

Wedding Bells to Ring for Uma Thurman?

Wedding Bells to Ring for Uma Thurman? | Uma Thurman

Is Uma Thurman going to walk the aisle this weekend? Sources close to the actress and her fiancé, multimillionaire Arpad Busson, who arrived on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera earlier this week, tell PEOPLE that wedding plans may be underway for as early as Saturday.

The couple announced their engagement last June after Busson presented Thurman with some serious bling: an eight-carat diamond surrounded by 20 smaller stones.

Thurman, 39, and Busson, 46, have been spotted at a luxury resort on Eleuthera. According to marriage requirements for the Bahamas, the couple must be in the country for at least 48 hours to obtain a marriage license. Licenses are issued by the Registrar General, the same official who issued a marriage license to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon last year.

Police pay overtime for patrols involving Octomom.



La Habra, California police say it has cost the department $4,000 in overtime to look after Octomom Nadya Suleman and her family.

More resources were spent checking on the Suleman family during regular patrol hours and responding to calls at the house, but the cost of these operations is unknown, police said.

Suleman, 33, gave birth to the longest-living octuplets in history on Jan. 26. She has six other children, all younger than 8. She has been criticized in the media because she is single, unemployed and was supporting her family before the octuplets were born with food stamps, disability payments and student loans.

La Habra Police Department spokeswoman Cindy Knapp said the city will not seek restitution from Suleman for the police escorts that accompanied some of the babies home from Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, or for other costs associated with keeping the family safe.

"Virtually all police services are free to residents of the community," Knapp said. "There are no legal provisions or paths for cost recovery under the specific circumstances or service provided to the Sulemans at this point." The department began working closely with the Suleman family after the two strongest of the infants were brought home in mid-March. The black SUV carrying Suleman, the babies and nurses was swarmed by paparazzi at stoplights.

HAS WHITNEY HOUSTON FOUND LOVE AGAIN?

Whitney Houston has a new man.

The singer - whose ex-husband is Bobby Brown - was spotted with the hunk outside the Beverly Hills Hotel after allegedly spending the night there.

A source said: "There looked very, very happy together. After spending the evening at the hotel they got up and walked Whitney's beloved Yorkshire Terrier dogs. They seemed like any other happy couple."

The identity of the 45-year-old star's latest man is unknown, but Whitney - who has battled crack-cocaine addiction - is said to be smitten with him.

He has reportedly been a regular visitor to the home in Atlanta, Georgia, she is currently renting.

The source added to the National Enquirer: "Whitney has finally gotten Bobby out of her system and she is clean of drugs. She's in a much healthier place than she was a couple of years ago, hopefully this could be the start of something great for Whitney."

Whitney and Bobby married in 1992 and divorced in 2007. They have a 15-year-old daughter Bobbi Kristina.

HALLE BERRY SAYS SHE IS HOOKED ON BUYING BABY CLOTHES.

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

Halle Berry has several reasons to stay at home: a 1-year-old baby, a hot boyfriend and celebrity that makes being in public uncomfortable.

Admitting her guiltiest pleasure to May's Harper's Bazaar, the Oscar winner, 42, says her current addiction is "very boring, but I buy baby clothes online. Nahla can't wear all the clothes I've bought, and we don't go anywhere because I can't deal with the paparazzi."

On the overstuffed closets for the baby, boyfriend Gabriel Aubrey is sympathetic – though only up to a point. "Gabriel's always like, 'She doesn't even leave the house! Halle, you've got to stop,' " says Berry.

Still, he clearly has other advantages, and they're helping keep Berry at home, too. "I have a 33-year-old man. That'll keep your mojo mojo-in," she declares.

Mostly, though, it is Nahla who has her mom hopping inside the house. "Having a baby takes so much from you. It's the most glorious thing you'll ever do, but the aftermath is not so glorious!" observes Berry. "So now I'm having to exercise, eat a little bit differently."

BREAKING NEWS: SOLANGE DROPPED FROM HER RECORD LABEL!!

From Jawn Murray (AOL Black Voices)

    Geffen/Interscope Records has opted not to further their relationship with Knowles’ daughter Solange Knowles. The eclectic singer’s sophomore release ‘Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams’ has only sold around 138,000 units since its release in August of 2008 and Geffen/Interscope didn’t see the value in doing a new CD on her.
    “Geffen did a one-off deal with Music World Entertainment for Solange and wasn’t interested in doing a new contract with her.

    People at the label really liked working with her because other than her infamous news outburst in Las Vegas, she was a constant professional. There were challenges dealing with her camp, but Solange was great to work with. In the end, the CD didn’t sell despite Solange’s countless high profile appearances,” the record label source told me. So both Rowland and Solange are now currently without record company homes; though I am told that Rowland will likely be announcing a new record deal in the coming weeks.

Public feud involving Sarah Palin, Levi Johnston, goes on!

http://letustalk.files.wordpress.com/2008/10/palins-levi-and-bristol1.jpg
The father of Bristol Palin's baby boy says he's been treated like an outcast since the end of Gov. Sarah Palin's run for vice-president.

Appearing in an interview broadcast Wednesday on CBS's "The Early Show," Levi Johnston said he felt a need to "get my side of the story out there."

A worsening feud has developed between the 19-year-old Johnston and the governor's family in the wake of Johnston's complaints about not being able see his young son Tripp, often enough. Now there is a dispute about whether Johnston had actually lived with the Palins.

Bristol Palin is Sarah Palin's daughter, and at one point she had agree to marry Johnston, but that is now off.

Johnston said he "wouldn't call any baby a mistake. I love him more than anything. I wouldn't trade him for the world." Tripp was born Dec. 27.

Would this even happen if she were in the White House? Whata PR mess! and I am Republican.

CNN ARTICLE: Out-of-wedlock births hit record high.



Nearly 40 percent of babies born in the United States in 2007 were delivered by unwed mothers, according to data released last month by the National Center for Health Statistics. The 1.7 million out-of-wedlock births, of 4.3 million total births, marked a more than 25 percent jump from five years before.

Statistics such as these, which include for the second year in a row a bump in teen pregnancies, after a 14-year decline, leave Sarah Brown concerned. She worries about the children born to unwed parents -- about the disadvantages they often face, including increased likelihood of poverty and greater high school dropout rates.

Michael Phelps' mommie dearest has a book coming out.

Sunday, April 5, 2009

When the photo of Michael Phelps and the marijuana bong went viral on the Internet there was considerable backlash from fans who wondered why a fellow party animal would rat him out like that.

Now stepping into the tell-all role is the lady the NBC cameras kept panning to while Phelps was racking up his Olympic gold in Beijing -- his mom.

Debbie PhelpsPhelpsforblog has a book due out titled A Mother for All Seasons.

Perez Hilton.com reports that it "tackles the highs and lows of her son Michael Phelps' career littered with scandal!"

Upon learning that her son had been arrested for driving drunk in 2004, at the age of 18, Debbie writes that:

"It was unreal - like something out of a horror movie - with TV clips of jail cell doors slamming ominously shut, dooming the life and career of one golden boy turned loser."

And like many moms, she laid the blame on herself, writing, "I was sure that I could have done something to better prepare Michael to make better choices."

Reese Witherspoon in her new film Monsters vs Aliens.

Witherspoon may have won an Oscar, but it’s her latest role as a giant bride in Monsters vs Aliens that has given her real kudos with her kids.

In the new computergenerated spectacle from DreamWorks Animation – with the added special effect of 3D – the 33-year-old star of Legally Blonde and Walk The Line provides the voice of small-town Californian girl Susan who, on the day of her wedding, gets unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, causing her dramatic physical transformation – into a 49ft 11in woman.

The military jumps into action, and a tough monster wrangler, General W R Monger (voiced by 24 star Kiefer Sutherland) hauls the newly-named Ginormica away to a secret government compound, where she meets a ragtag group of alien beings – the brilliant, insect-headed Dr Cockroach (Hugh Laurie); The Missing Link, a macho, half-ape, half-fish; and Bicarbonate Ostylezene Benzoate, or B.O.B. for short, a one-eyed turquoise blob.

As soon as her two young children were able to see the finished movie, Witherspoon took them to a special screening.

“As I was driving home, I said to my children, ‘So, what did you think of the message of the movie?’,” recalls Witherspoon. “And my daughter very thoughtfully said, ‘You know, I think it’s about never letting someone under-estimate you, and always living up to your true potential.’

“I thought that was so sweet. And then I asked my other child, who’s just five years old, ‘What do you think the movie’s about?’ And he said, ‘I think it’s about when octopus aliens come to your planet, you have to make sure you kill them!’ So, I think they both really understood the film and what we were trying to get at!”

The mere mention of the words “alien monster” will light up the eyes of any film-maker who ever spent a Saturday afternoon planted in front of the television, watching a black-and-white cautionary tale (such as don’t mess with Mother Nature) in the form of a ’50s B movie.

Such is the case with the co-directors of Monsters vs Aliens, Rob Letterman and Conrad Vernon.

Letterman had just finished helming the Oscar-nominated DreamWorks animation Shark Tale when he scheduled a meeting with the studio’s chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg.

“Jeffrey asked me to take a look at a project that was in development about monsters,” recalls Letterman. “I had always wanted to do a comedy, kind of like the film The Dirty Dozen. Oddly enough, it turned out to be a way to do my own Dirty Dozen comedy, as the Monsters are a type of rogue team that goes up against aliens invading the Earth, so I truly embraced the idea.” Read more.......

Like mother, like daughter: Princess Bea is the spitting image of Fergie.

With the same red hair, blue eyes and freckled skin, there is no mistaking the family ties in this photograph.

But with a decidedly mumsy and unflattering outfit, Princess Beatrice looks more like her mother than she would perhaps like.

The 20-year-old university student was pictured side-by-side with 49-year-old Sarah Ferguson at The Dorchester hotel in London on Saturday night.

The Princess has always showed her mother's influence, but they are becoming more alike as Bea grows older.

And it appears that it isn't just her mother's looks that Bea is emulating.

Her long silver gown and black pointed stilettos might have come straight from the Duchess' wardrobe.

They were helping hotel magnate Sol Kerzner's wife Heather celebrate her 40th birthday.

Among the other celebrity guests were style guru Trinny Woodall and actress Elizabeth Hurley.

The fifth in line to the throne has not been going out much recently as she has upcoming exams, but clearly took a night off for the glamorous party.

Bea is currently studying for a BA in History and History of Ideas at London's Goldsmiths College.

My life is like a reality TV show, says Uma Thurman.

Hollywood actress Uma Thurman feels that her life is like a reality TV show. The 38-year-old star admits that she cannot recall a time when she wasn’t a celebrity. ” I don’t feel famous. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes I am, sometimes I’m not, but it’s hard to feel it. Does that make any sense?” the Mirror quoted her as saying. “I’d like to classify my life as a romantic comedy. Unfortun ately I feel it’s probably more like a TV reality show,” she added.

Unlike other celebrities the Pulp Fiction star does not worry unduly about what the future holds for her. "I used to be more paranoid and stressed, constantly worrying about my Plan B. But the truth is I don’t have one. Worrying about that is going to kill my Plan A, which is living the life I have right now and doing what I love to do while I’m blessed to be able to do it,” she added. (ANI)

VANESSA WILLIAMS TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM IN JUNE

Vanessa Williams takes a break from playing Wilhelmina Slater on ABC's Ugly Betty and gets back to making music. She releases The Real Thing, on Concord Records, June 2.

Her first album in four years has touches of jazz, samba, salsa, pop and R&B.

"I had been wanting to do a Latin-flavored album since I played a ballroom dancer in the (salsa) movie Dance With Me," Williams says.

She called on old friends, including Keith Thomas, who did such hits as Save the Best for Last and Colors of the Wind, and Rob Mathes, who worked on Williams' Christmas albums. She also sings Babyface songs Loving You and Just Friends.

She says Ugly Betty's schedule will keep her from touring extensively, though she plans to introduce new music at shows in Atlantic City in May.

Seth Rogen Upset With Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart Engagement.

Funny man Seth Rogen was very upset when he heard the news of Harrison Ford proposing to his long time love Calista Flockhart after 7 years of dating.

Why you may ask? Well, Rogen is now feeling the pressure to propose to his long time love because he would always compare his relationship to Ford's and Flockhart's but now since Harrison built the courage and proposed, he feels like the pressure is on.

Rogen says, "They were my couple. I was like, 'They're not engaged, they are just happy to be together'.

"Now, if Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn get engaged, I'm f**ked."

Why is it such a big deal for men to propose to the love of their life? Guess it will be one of those things that women will never get the answer to.

Witnesses describe Britney Spears' relationship with Osama 'Sam' Lutfi.

http://www.hirado.hu/Hirek/2009/02/%7E/media/News/Hirado/Hirek/2009/02/04/11/sam_lufti.jpg.ashx
Does Britney Spears live in fear of her former confidant, Osama "Sam" Lutfi? Or does she consider him her only hope for breaking out of a court-ordered conservatorship? Does the pop star see him as a predator, a Svengali or a savior?

There were plenty of opinions this week during a hearing on whether to impose long-term restraining orders against Lutfi and another man, but none offered by Spears herself. As has been the norm in the 15 months since her father assumed control of her affairs, the 27-year-old singer did not attend the Superior Court proceeding
Witnesses summoned to the stand Wednesday by attorneys for Spears' father, Jamie, suggested that his daughter is rightly frightened of Lutfi, a 34-year-old who lived with her and presented himself as her manager in the period leading up to her hospitalizations for psychological issues.

Blair Berk, who formerly represented Spears and said she now acts as a personal attorney for Spears' father, said Lutfi made threats "of an extortative nature" during a January phone call, prompting her to contact law enforcement.

Berk said that on many previous occasions, Spears had asked her to have Lutfi arrested "for what he had done to her."

Another witness, a Long Beach probate attorney, said men identifying themselves as Lutfi and attorney Jon Eardley tried to get him to enter the case on Spears' behalf in January and even provided him with a retainer agreement purportedly signed by Spears.

The witness, John Anderson, said that after learning that Spears was barred from hiring her own counsel and speaking with lawyers for her father, he decided not to get involved.

Lutfi did not attend the hearing. His lawyer, Bryan Freedman, called his younger sister as the only defense witness.

Christina Lutfi portrayed Spears as desperate to be in touch with her brother. She said that the singer called his cellphone repeatedly in January seeking help in hiring a lawyer. She said that Spears told her she was scared of her own father and wanted access to a cellphone.

Christina Lutfi said that her brother got a prepaid cellphone and that she agreed to pass it to Spears during a secret meeting in the sauna room of Beverly Hills' Peninsula Hotel.

"She thanked me," Christina Lutfi recalled.

At a February hearing, Jamie Spears testified that a security guard found the phone in Spears' purse and turned it over to him.

Judge Aviva Bobb said she would hear closing arguments April 21 before deciding whether to make the temporary restraining orders against Eardley and Lutfi permanent.

Madonna adoption: Mercy's Malawian uncle condemns judge's decision.

Madonna visiting children during her trip to Malawi nin 2006

Photograph: Shavawn Rissman/AP

Peter Baneti, the uncle of three-year-old Mercy James, said the child's Malawian relations were deeply unhappy that the orphan would now miss out on a life of luxury and privilege as part of the 50-year-old singer's extended family.

"We don't understand the judge's reasoning," Mr Baneti, 41, told The Sunday Telegraph in Lilongwe, Malawi's capital.

"We as a family discussed this and agreed that it is in the best interests of Mercy to have her adopted, so why should the judge stop this if the family is OK with it?"

Mr Baneti said Judge Esmie Chombo, who threw out Madonna's adoption application on Friday, had denied his niece the chance of a new life away from the Kondanani orphanage where she is now living.

He was scathing about the judge, who had said she would not bend strict residency rules even for a wealthy foreign celebrity.

"Does she know what it means to be poor? Does she know life in an orphanage? How can she say Mercy is better off at Kondanani?" Mr Baneti said.

"We are very disappointed. We hope that the Supreme Court will overturn her ruling."

Madonna's lawyer Alan Chinula immediately lodged an appeal against Mrs Justice Chombo's decision, which is likely to be heard later this week.

On Saturday night the star was still staying at the luxury Kumbali Lodge outside Lilongwe with her two children, Lourdes, 12, and Rocco, eight, and David Banda, the three-year-old Malawian boy she adopted in 2006.

All 13 rooms at the hotel, including nine thatched chalets, had been booked for her 15-strong entourage of assistants, nannies – including one for Mercy – and even a child psychologist.

The singer reacted with astonishment when she was told of the decision by her lawyer and stormed out of the hotel room where her lawyer informed her. Mercy, whose Malawian name is Chifundo, had been staying with Madonna at the hotel for the last week and had already been introduced to her children while the judge considered her ruling.

Yesterday she was hosting a small party in the lodge's forested grounds. Government officials, staff from her Raising Malawi charity, and other visitors were seen arriving during the afternoon.

Malawians, who have followed the case intently, have been divided about the judge's decision. Human rights groups had argued that allowing Madonna to adopt the child would encourage trafficking and perhaps even attract Western paedophiles.

But messages on social networking sites in Malawi were overwhelmingly in favour of Madonna.

Baby seat thrown through octuplet mom's van window!




LA HABRA, Calif. -- Someone has thrown a baby's car seat through the rear window of octuplet mother Nadya Suleman's minivan.

Police in La Habra, Calif., say the octuplets' nannies saw the seat lodged in the shattered window of the family's van when they arrived to work Wednesday morning at Suleman's home.

Lt. Fred Wiste says a night nanny heard a noise, looked out a window and saw a cargo van speeding away around 3 a.m., but did not call police or go outside to investigate.

Officers have no suspects.

Suleman, an unemployed single mother of 14 children, has endured much public scorn in the weeks since giving birth to octuplets on Jan. 26.

Sarah Palin blasts Levi Johnston for talking about relationship with her daughter Bristol.

(FILE) A file photograph showing the daughter of former Republican US Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin  Bristol, 18, and Bristol's fiance Levi Johnston, 19. The Wasilla hockey player spilled his guts on Tyra Banks Show, revealing their teen sex life and other tidbits under mama Sarah Palin's own roof. EPA/LARRY W. SMITH

Johnston tells Tyra Banks on her show (that airs on April 6) that he believes Gov. Sarah Palin knew darn well he and her daughter were having sex when they lived in her house. "I'm pretty sure she probably knew. Moms are pretty smart," Johnston says.

News of his sex chat with Tyra has hit the ears of the Alaska governor.

And you betcha her camp has released an angry hornet’s nest of a statement.

"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration and even distortion of their relationship," says the statement from the Palin family rep.

"It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well-being of the child."

The statement ends: "Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions."

It's kinda funny that she's mad at him for talking about having sex with her daughter. We would have been madder about the actual act of impregnation.

As if poor Sarah doesn’t have enough family problems. Now comes word this week from the Associated Press that her husband Todd Palin’s half-sister was accused of breaking into the same Wasilla, Alaska, house twice to steal money.

Yes, you read that right. The same house. Twice.

Diana Palin, 35, was charged with felony burglary and misdemeanor criminal trespass and theft stemming from two break-ins this week. And don't forget that Levi's mom, Sarah, was arrested in December on drug-related charges.

What is going on with these people? They make The Osbournes seem positively sane and normal.

We know. Let's move out the "Desperate Housewives" and have the Osbournes, the Palins and Nadya Suleman all live on Wisteria Lane and just let the cameras roll. The writers could all take a break because these folks come up with such wacky stuff all on their own.

Now that would be a TV show to watch. Would you tune in? Or are you over these people?

Halle Berry drinks perfume on TV show !!

Oscar winning actress Halle Berry surprised viewers when she drank perfume on a US TV talk show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres.

DeGeneres was the first to take a sip of the perfume and then offered it to the actress, reports contactmusic.com.

Berry was on the show to promote her new perfume but got more than she bargained for when DeGeneres helped herself to a drink of vanilla and sandalwood mix.

As she was pouring herself the 'drink', DeGeneres said: 'It smells good, what's in it...? It's pretty much natural, right?'

Berry replied: 'I don't think we're supposed to drink it, Ellen. Wow, I didn't think you could drink it, but I guess you can.'

DeGeneres added: 'It's delicious.'

Jamie Lynn postpones wedding!

Britney Spears' younger sister Jamie Lynn has postponed her wedding.

The 17-year-old star was set to tie the knot with her 18-year-old fiance Casey Aldridge - with whom she has nine-month-old daughter Maddie - but has decided she is happy with their relationship as it is for now.

A source told America's OK! magazine: "The wedding is off. They are still in love, living together and very happy, but they have no plans to get married.

Jamie Lynn has everything she wants and feels no need for a ring and piece of paper."

Another insider explained: "She and Casey have weathered a lot in their young relationship already and don't need the pressure of making wedding plans."

Jamie Lynn - Britney Spears' younger sister - announced she was pregnant when she was 16.

Her relationship with Casey has been turbulent.

Last August, it was claimed Casey had a relationship with Kelli Dawson until Jamie Lynn was six months pregnant, although he vehemently denied the reports.

The Zoey 101 actress has adapted well to motherhood, and has decided not to return to acting so she can spend more time with Maddie.

A source said: "She has told friends and family she's never coming back to Hollywood. She feels that part of her life is over. Since she's had Maddie, her life has changed completely.

"Jamie Lynn knows she needs to make a living when she grows older, so she's already discussing her career options with advisers. She wants Maddie to grow up in comfort."

Is she ever gonna marry? This is the same Bristol Palin CSM club. Do your thing Jamie. No rush!

Courtney Love sued for Twitter defamation!


Twitter has become popular with celebrities. And people pretending to be celebrities. Sometimes it's hard to figure out who's who.

Shaquille O'Neal? Yup, his Twitter account is real. That's him.

50 Cent? Not exactly. The rapper hired a guy to tweet for him.

Britney Spears? She's got a whole cadre tweeting for her. So not really.

Christopher Walken? Imposter!

Courtney Love? Oh boy is that her.

In fact, Love just won the distinction of being the first celebrity sued for tweeting.

In Los Angeles Superior Court, clothes designer Dawn Simorangkir, also known as Boudoir Queen, last Thursday filed suit against Love for defamation, invasion of privacy and infliction of emotional distress for "an extensive rant" on Twitter about how she was billed for custom clothing.

It's hard to be extensive when one is limited to just 140 characters. But if anybody can do it, it's Love, who allegedly wrote grammatically challenged comments like "oi vey don't f--- with my wardrobe or you will end up in a circle of corched eaeth hunted til your dead."

"Whether caused by a drug induced psychosis, a warped understanding of reality, or the belief that her money and fame allow her to disregard the law, Love has embarked (o)n what is nothing short of an obsessive and delusional crusade to terrorize and destroy Simorangkir, Simorangkir's reputation and her livelihood," says the complaint.

Love's spokesman declined to comment on the lawsuit.

Kim Hess, the Divorce columnist at the Examiner speaks about Whitney's song. "

Whitney Houston sings it so well. It's not right what your spouse may have inflicted upon you during the marriage, or maybe now that you're divorcing or divorced. But you know what fellow divorcees? It's okay. I'm living proof that you're gonna make it anyway! Jam to the video below...it's particularly effective if you listen to this while dancing around your living room naked. But if you're reading this at work right now, I understand if you don't want to make your co-workers jealous of your awesome body and fantastic dancing skills. Not everyone is as great as you!"

Hospital staff fired for looking at Octomom's medical records!

Hospital employees at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center were fired for peeking at octuplet mother Nadya Suleman's medical records, a representative said Tuesday.

Jim Anderson, a hospital spokesman, said two employees were fired and 13 quit before being terminated. Another eight employees were reprimanded.

A similar privacy breach at UCLA hospitals led to celebrities' medical information getting leaked to tabloids in recent years, including details of Farrah Fawcett's cancer treatment showing up in the National Enquirer.

Anderson said the hospital provided extra training on privacy standards before Suleman gave birth because of the unusual nature of her pregnancy.

Suleman's attorney, Jeff Czech, told RadarOnline.com he believes the employees were looking for information about the sperm donor, who is the father of all 14 of Suleman's children.

Anderson said the state Department of Public Health was informed of the privacy breach but said he does not know whether it will conduct its own investigation.

The Associated Press contributed to this story.

"It's going to be me playing [a character based on] my life, but it's not going to be me as Brandy," she explained in an interview with MTV News. "It's going to be a totally different person, but with the same challenges that I go through in my life ... being a single mom, raising my child, trying to have a life, trying to have friends and trying to do my own thing."

Congrat to her. In this recession, we all need a new job.

Madonna denies she is using fame to fast-track latest adoption .

Confirming the singer's intent to take toddler Chifundo "Mercy" James back to her native New York, a spokeswoman for the star said: "The adoption process for Mercy began over a year ago when Madonna met her on one of her visits to Malawi. The connection was instant and profound.

Madonna has faced fierce opposition to her adoption attempt, with critics claiming that she is using her power and influence to "bully" the courts into approving it. Local human rights activist Mavuto Bamusi said: "In the absence of clear laws and procedures what is happening in this case amounts to child trafficking or kidnapping". Read more....

Madonna Lands in Malawi Amid Controversy.

Monday, March 30, 2009

Madonna landed in the African nation of Malawi on Sunday – but not without controversy.

The singer, 50, was accompanied by her daughter Lourdes, 12, and sons Rocco, 8, and David, 3, whom she adopted from Malawi last year. And she and Lourdes visited Chinkhota Village, where Madonna has purchased a large tract of land to construct a girls' school there, which sources say is modeled on the Leadership Academy for Girls that Oprah Winfrey built in South Africa.

Although the village chief thanked the singer for her "generosity," some residents were less enthusiastic amid fears that they would lose their ancestral lands and crop fields.

"We are told to leave our gardens after this year's harvest; we are told our houses are to be pulled down – but nobody is talking about compensation," said Esinati Nkhoma, a local mother of four. "Where will we move to?"

A senior government official said issues of compensation for the land are being handled by Raising Malawi, the charity established by Madonna.

When a journalist asked Madonna whether she was worried about the land concerns, she shouted back, "No!" Later, Madonna and Lourdes were heard asking villagers "Muli bwanji?," which translates to "How are you?" in Malawi's native tongue, Chichewa.

On Monday morning the star is scheduled to appear before a high court judge to process her second adoption. When a bystander asked, "Are you adopting another kid from Malawi?" she replied, "I don't know."

But courts records show she plans to adopt 3-year-old Mercy James, whose single teenage mother died at age 18.

Gisele Bündchen Calls Tom Brady's Love Child a 'Wake-up Call'


Stars Who Love Athletes | Gisele Bündchen
Marriage and step-motherhood have come naturally to Gisele Bündchen – who in February wed New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 18 months after his former girlfriend, model-actress Bridget Moynahan, gave birth to Brady's child, John Edward Thomas Moynahan.

"It was definitely a surprise for both of us," the supermodel, 28, tells Leslie Bennetts for Vanity Fair's May issue. Yet the baby's arrival in their lives, Bündchen insists, has not detracted from her bliss. In fact, little John Edward has contributed to it.

"In the beginning you're living this romantic fantasy; you're thinking, This can't be true, it's so good!" she says "And then, Whoops – wake-up call!" Read the rest........
