What Kelsey Grammer’s Wife Says On Marriage?
by Alice on Jan.20, 2011, under Actor, updates
Kelsey Grammer’s estranged wife thinks it’s “crazy” the actor is planning to get married next month
Camille Grammer – the mother of two of the former ‘Frasier’ star’s children, Mason, nine, and six-year-old Jude – is shocked at his decision to tie the knot with fiancee Kayte Walsh in February as she is not ready to move on.
She told US TV talk show host George Lopez: “It’s crazy, crazy. I don’t want to get married again, I need time. And no I’m not dating anybody.”
Kelsey – who has already been divorced twice – recently revealed he plans to marry former air hostess Kayte next month even though his divorce from Camille is yet to be finalised.
Speaking about his relationship with Kayte, Kelsey said: “The kids seem to be doing OK. We’ve been spending quite a bit of time with them, Kayte and I. Kayte’s my new girl, and we’re planning to get married soon. Sometime in February.”
However, Kelsey’s plans were put in jeopardy as Camille had asked a judge to deny the 55-year-old star’s motion to dissolve their marital status while they continue to fight over their $120 million estate.
The former Playboy model claimed Kelsey is only requesting the quick divorce “solely for the reason that he intends to remarry as soon as possible”.
Last month, Camille – who split from Kelsey last July after 14 years of marriage – reportedly rejected a $30 million divorce settlement as it didn’t include alimony or child support for their two kids.
Following his split from Camille, Kelsey started dating 29-year-old Kayte but in October, tragedy struck as she miscarried their first child together.

Gary Barlow can’t wait to go on holiday without his kids
The Take That frontman – who has children Daniel, 10, Emily, eight, and two-year-old Daisy with wife Dawn – is planning a romantic break with his spouse, though he claims he is worried about how well they will get along without the rest of their family.
He said: “The kids keep us pretty busy, although in about a week’s time, we’re going off on holiday, me and the wife with no kids, for the first time in about 11 years. I’m making a list of things we can talk about!
“I’m really looking forward to it, I’m taking my keyboard with me, and my laptop. No I’m not really.”
Though the ‘Flood‘ singer – who turns 40 today (20.01.11) – claims to struggle for conversation around his wife, he won’t be finding other ways to occupy their time together after admitting he finds it “insulting” when people use their mobile phones in his company.
He told BBC Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans: “I get really insulted when people bring their phones to the dinner table and send texts, am I not important enough for you? It really annoys me. “

George Lucas — End Of Days
by Lisa on Jan.20, 2011, under Entertainment, updates
‘Star Wars’ creator George Lucas believes the world will end in 2012
The 66-year-old filmmaker revealed his apocalypse theory to Seth Rogen during a meeting.
And the ‘Green Hornet’ actor insists Lucas has faith in his prediction.
Rogen is quoted by the Toronto Sun newspaper as saying: “George Lucas sits down and seriously proceeds to talk for around 25 minutes about how he thinks the world is gonna end in the year 2012. Like, for real. He thinks it.”
As well as Rogen and Lucas, Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg – who created the ‘Indiana Jones’ films with Lucas – was also present at the meeting but is less convinced by his friend’s claims.
Rogen added: “George is going on about the tectonic plates and all the time Spielberg is, like, rolling his eyes, like, ‘My nerdy friend won’t shut up, I’m sorry.’
“I first thought George was joking … and then I totally realised he was serious and then I started thinking, ’If you’re George Lucas and you actually think the world is gonna end in a year, there’s no way you haven’t built a spaceship for yourself … So I asked him … ’Can I have a seat on it?’ He claimed he didn’t have a spaceship, but there’s no doubt there’s a Millennium Falcon in a garage somewhere with a pilot just waiting to go … It’s gonna be him and Steven Spielberg and I’ll be blown up like the rest of us.”

Jwoww — Pic Un-locked
by tmz on Jan.19, 2011, under updates
Jwoww BLOCKS Nude Photo Release
Several naked photos of Jwoww will remain under lock and key — at least temporarily — after a judge ruled that her ex-boyfriend has no legal right to distribute the images … TMZ has learned.
Jwoww Nude Photos
A NY judge made the decision after Jwoww argued the nude pics were taken by her ex-BF Thomas Lippolis without her permission “while she was under the effects of pre-surgical and post-surgical anesthesia” back in February 2010.
Lippolis argued that Jwoww was “always a willing participant and always gave consent.” He also claimed that releasing the photos wouldn’t harm Jwoww’s reputation because she had previously “expressed her desires to pose in Playboy.”
But for now, the judge sided with Jwoww — which means the pics must stay off the market … for now.
The case is scheduled for arbitration — where a final decision on the pics will be made.

What Brooklyn Thinks On Men?

Brooklyn Decker thinks men her own age need to grow up
The 23-year-old Victoria’s Secret model – who married 29-year-old tennis star Andy Roddick in April 2009 – believes guys in their twenties can be too egotistical and demanding.
She said: “In their twenties men just want, want, want, want, want.
“Don’t make everybody deal with your want all the time. It gets so old. You know?
“After 25, it’s just throw the ego out the door.”
The blonde beauty also called for men to stop playing games in relationships and be honest about their feelings.
She told the February edition of America’s Esquire magazine: “Men need to learn to put everything on the table. Just put everything on the table. And when it comes to the game playing, enough.”
Though Brooklyn was named by the publication as the Sexiest Woman Alive last year, she admits she wasn’t always so glamorous.
She recalled: “I was 11 years old, and very hairy. After playing in a soccer game, my mom came up and saw my long blonde leg hairs glistening in the sun and said ‘OK honey, it’s time.’ She was right there with me. We got a special fool-proof razor, and fancy shaving cream but I was only allowed to shave up to my knees!”

Since bringing the new baby home, Nicole and Keith, both 43, have enjoyed having time to bond with their two daughters at their homes in Nashville and Los Angeles.

Katie — “Alex has failed”
by Alice on Jan.18, 2011, under Entertainment, Model, updates
Katie Price has announced she has split from her husband Alex Reid
Following weeks of reports the couple were to separate, the British TV star has released a no-holds barred statement confirming the end of her relationship with the cage fighter.
Katie blames the break-up on Alex becoming “fascinated by life in the media eye” and insists the pair tied the knot “too quickly” after dating for just seven months.
In the statement, she said: “Alex and I have had a number of difficulties over the past few months. I accept that these were in part caused by my marrying too quickly – we all make mistakes and this was one. However, Alex changed from the man I fell in love with and some of his behaviour became difficult for me to understand and caused issues. I have tried to help him with these issues but they have put a considerable strain on our relationship.
“Our difficulties were also not helped by Alex becoming more fascinated by life in the media eye. Obviously I cannot be critical of someone wanting to do this and originally I tried to help him with his career by getting him contracts with my production company. If Alex wants to honour those contracts the production company is more than happy to do so. However, Alex’s desire to promote himself caused a change in the dynamic of our relationship and contributed to our alienation.”
The 32-year-old beauty also revealed she is furious with Alex, 35, for posing for photographs with her five-year-old son Junior – whose father is her ex-husband Peter Andre – in a martial arts gym and says she feels “let down” by his actions because he knows she wants to keep her kids out of the public eye.
Katie – who also has a three-year-old daughter Princess Tiaamii with Peter and an eight-year-old son Harvey from an earlier relationship – added in the statement: “I had hoped that Alex and I could remain friends but I am not sure if that is possible given events since last Sunday (16.01.11) when we were on the verge of releasing a statement. Alex asked that we did not release any statement because he wanted more time to think. The intervening period has, however, seen a number of false stories appear and photographs of Alex with my son Junior in the gym which it is absolutely clear were posed for. Alex is fully aware that I have sought to remove my children from the public eye now they are of an age to understand and be affected by media coverage of them. I feel incredibly let down that he did this while asking me for more time to discuss our relationship.”
Katie – who wed Alex in a private ceremony in Las Vegas in February 2010 – insists she is now determined to focus on her children but is disappointed the marriage failed.
She said: “I am deeply upset that my relationship with Alex has failed but I know it is the right thing for my children and I that we separate. My children are my absolute priority in this and they are being shielded from what is happening.”
Alex has now moved out of the mansion he shared with Katie in Surrey, Southern England, and is believed to be moving back into his parents Carol and Bob’s house in Aldershot, Hampshire.

Did Really Ricky Gervais Cross The Line @ GG?
by Kavy on Jan.18, 2011, under Actor, Award, Entertainment, updates
Ricky Gervais has been slammed by Golden Globe organisers for his “unacceptable” remarks during the ceremony
The British comedian caused controversy when he mocked a number of stars including Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr. and Steve Carrell while hosting the awards show on Sunday (16.01.11) and Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) president Philip Berk – who was also the subject of jibes by the host – was unimpressed.
He told The Hollywood Reporter: “He definitely crossed the line. And some of the things were totally unacceptable.
“Any of the references to individuals is certainly not something the Hollywood Foreign Press condones.”
The HFPA has reportedly been inundated with angry phone calls from agents claiming their clients were offended but Philip claims his organisation were unaware of what Ricky would say.
He said: “I had absolutely no idea what Ricky was going to say so anything I heard was heard the same time you heard it. When you hire Ricky Gervais you expect the unexpected.”
While Ricky, 49, admitted he was unsure if he would be asked back to host the event for a third time – after also taking charge in 2010 – he claimed he loved the experience and was happy with his performance.
When asked if he had fun, Ricky replied “Oh absolutely. For three hours every year, Hollywood is scared to death of me. It’s great.”
A number of celebrities took to twitter to show their support for the comic.
Legendary broadcaster Larry King writing: “The folks who put on the Globes have no right to complain about Ricky Gervais. He does what he does. Why should it surprise them? You agree?”.
Actress Elizabeth Banks added: “I thought RG was hilarious. Actors can take it. We have thick skins.”
Hugh Hefner responded to a joke Ricky made about the age gap between himself and his 24-year-old fiancee Crystal Harris, saying: “the Golden Globes was a blast. They made fun of everyone, including Crystal & me. A great night. (sic)”

An onlooker told E! Online: “They were making googly eyes at each other all night, it was adorable. They were hanging out by the bar laughing and talking very close for a long time. He had his hand on her back and she was just looking up at him, smiling ear-to-ear as he was leaning down and whispering something to her.
“At one point they turned around and snuck a kiss. But as the night went on they didn’t exactly hide their affection for each other. They were all over each other! They seemed really happy.”
Leighton recently revealed she thinks being in love is “wonderful” as she enjoys having someone to share her life with.
The 24-year-old beauty said: “It’s wonderful to be in love. And it’s definitely wonderful to cuddle and have sex and get to experience life with somebody. But it’s OK if you don’t find him and you’re 24. You can find it someday.”

by cyan on Jan.17, 2011, under Actress
Claire Danes regrets not finishing college. 
The 31-year-old actress – who shot to fame as a teenager in TV show ‘My So-Called Life’ took a break from acting in 1998 to study psychology at the prestigious Yale University but quit after two years.
When asked what advice she would give her younger self, Claire said: “Go to college, actually. I didn’t finish. I only went for two years but those two years were really good for me to just step away for a little bit and grow up without the prying eyes of the public and all the judgment that accompanies it. So that was good, and I don’t know.”
Claire – who won the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a TV movie for ‘Temple Grandin’ last night (16.01.11) – has previously revealed she took time out from Hollywood to attend college in order to regain a “normal” life.
She explained: “I started working when I was very young. I got an agent when I was 12 and fortunately was employed consistently from that point on. So I didn’t really go to a conventional high school. I was tutored on sets and things.”
The actress – who is married to British actor Hugh Dancy – is not the only actress to take time out of her career to attend university.
Natalie Portman completely a degree in psychology at Harvard , while ‘Harry Potter’ star Emma Watson is currently studying English Literature at Brown University.
