Listen Up Nicole Richie; Dying to Be Thin

Ana Carolina Reston Nicole Richie

First off this is a damn shame, that this has to even be a topic to report. I guess the waif look is still in and girls are still falling for it. The latest is a Brazilian model, named Ana Carolina Reston. The poor girl had a disgusting body weight of 88 lbs. when she died. Reports are that an infection from the disease is what caused her untimely death. Everyone in the modeling world stresses how these girls need to be thin to wear these clothes and that the clothes won't look right if they aren't a stick. That is a bunch of crap. There's no one else walking in the real world that looks the way these models do. The people buying the clothes couldn't even get a thigh in it if they tried. These so called high fashion designers are causing hell to many women and those that care about them.

Case in point. Currently still breathing Nicole Richie, who I'm tired of hearing eats all the time but can't get any bigger. Come on, everytime you see her she's thinner. Even if she did have a super metabolism and ate all the time, she'd still be bigger than what she is. I want to see a video of her actually having a 9 course meal and eating everything that is put in front of her. Maybe then I'll believe she's trying.

It's also been heard that model Reston, was possibly bulimic and would purge after eating. Another disgusting habit. Everyone thinks modeling is glamorous and that these are such beautiful people but I think this shows the truth. It's ugly!

Do You Wanna Pay Kevin Costner Rent?

That's about to happen if you move to Deadwood, SD. Ok, no one really wants to live there. But Kevin Costner sure hopes so. He owns the Midnight Star Casino there and is asking city officials to annex 8 acres so he can build a housing development. Who new he had so many interests? Apparently the love for South Dakota comes from when he filmed "Dancing with Wolves" there. Which eventually led to him buying out all the minority investors of the casino to become its sole owner. The housing development Costner is building will include 72 high end townhouses and 88 high priced mini-mansions. All of this however is still to be determined if the city can agree on November 27, 2006 to the annexation of the land along Highway 14A.

It's Official

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are Mr. & Mrs. Tom Cruise. The couple were wed in an Italian castle. The ceremony was part Scientology and Catholic. The couple was surrounded by Tinseltown's Elite. Including, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, Jennifer Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, Jenna Elfman, Brook Shields and husband Chris Henchy and Andrea Bocelli. Who serenaded the couple towards the end of the ceremony. Also in attendance was soccer god David Beckham and his wife Victoria. Who nearly upstaged the bride with her outrageous hat.

All in all it's being reported that the wedding was absolutely fabulous and cost Tom Cruise $1.5 million.

Not to burst anyone's bubble but who wants to take a wager on how long this one will last?

Overly Hyped and Drunk Again

As usual the overly talked about Paris Hilton showed her true colors again. This time dunk off her ass as she and boy toy of the moment stumbled into her car last night. I bet she makes her parents so proud!

The Game has No Game

Let's log this under "dumb ass" of the week. Rapper The Game was busted by the real cops after he tried to impersonate one. The story goes that after the rapper finished doing "The Late Show" he got in a cab and allegedly told the cabster that he was "the law", so that they could race through the red lights to get where ever he was going faster. Well maybe the driver should also be in the dummy category too. Those two fools were pulled over by the NYPD where again The Game continued with his charade. It's being reported that he even tried to flash a "badge". Ok, you know that didn't work and they took the rapper to the station where he received a ticket and was later released. Wonk, wonk, wonk, stupid.

So Hard to Say Goodbye

Gerald Levert was mourned by thousands yesterday, in a public memorial. The velvet voiced R & B entertainer passed away last week at the age of 40 yrs old. Mr. Levert had a heart attack in his sleep. Instead of having a mourning service, Gerald was sent off in a true homecoming celebration. Stevie Wonder and Eddie Levert, (Gerald's father and singer from the O'Jays), lead a joyous musical celebration. Leverts, singing partners in the group LSG, included Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill also paid tribute to the late singer, by singing "Casanova".

Many other notables in attendance included, journalist Ed Gordon, Usher, Jermaine Dupri, Angela Winbush and Judge Greg Mathis, who eulogized the singer.

I know the singer leaves behind a daughter, who was recently featured on MTV's "My Sweet Sixteen", and his brother & partner Sean, father Eddie Levert and many others.

This is another heartbreaking loss for those of us who love R & B and those in the entertainment industry. Sometimes it's too much for us to understand why someone so young would die. But now I know that he's having a joyful reunion with fellow crooners, Luther Vandross, Barry White and Curtis Mayfield.

Another Hollywood Marriage up in Smoke

Chris Robinson, 39, lead singer of the Black Crowes, has filed for divorce from wife of 6 years Kate Hudson, 27. It had been reported months back that these two were separating. Along with the not so ugly rumor that Ms. Hudson had been cheating on him with that thing Owen Wilson. If you're going to cheat can it be with someone who is worth it. Although both Kate and Owen have denied that anything out of the ordinary took place. They allegedly hooked up when they were making that tragedy, "You, Me, & Dupree", that no one saw.

The somewhat odd pairing of Robinson and Hudson had reportedly not even been expected to last this long. The couple are the parents of two year old son, Ryder. Whom, I'm assuming will reside with Ms. Hudson but have liberal visitation from his often grungy looking dad.

It looks like Kate should have taken a page from Momma's hand book and just shacked up. Although I have to give Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell mad respect for being together in Hollywood for more than 20 years. They are one of the most solid couples going!

Well, Kate will just have to start anew.

Don't Call it a Comeback, Yet

Ms. Whitney Houston, appears to be on road to regaining her career and life. After going through with a long awaited separation and divorce filing from husband of 14 years, Bobby Brown. She has been seen lately in the company of long time friend and supporter Clive Davis, founder of J Records.

However, Ms. Houston is still not totally in the clear yet. Her mansion in New Jersey, is being placed on the chopping block. She is $1 million behind in her mortgage payment. Hello, how in the world do you not pay your mortgage. And better still, since when does the mortgage company let it get that far behind. I know, the price of celebrity, because you and I would have been homeless 10 payments back! In addition to this little issue, her North Atlanta home is rumored to be up for sale. Some nut had reported that it was being foreclosed as well. But Wachovia who Ms Houston has her home through, is reporting that the singer does indeed still own the property and it is not in foreclosure.

Let's hope that Whitney can continue to get on the right track. It must be hard though after having dealt with Brown for so long, not to mention that after it was announced about the divorce; that there's a rumor going around that he is expecting another illegitimate child with Video Vixen chick. Some people never learn.

007, A Brand New Blond Bond

I have just seen Casino Royale, the latest James Bond installment. I have to say that Mr. Daniel Craig is definitely the sexiest, roughest Bond in a long time. Craig, has endured lots of criticism about being cast as the new Bond. Well, ladies will certainly love him, because he is oh so very easy on the eyes. And what gorgeous eyes he has. That perhaps is the most thrilling part of the movie is looking at his deep blue eyes. They're shockingly blue.

Now time for the actual critique of the movie itself. Being a die hard Bond fan I was looking for certain things from Craig. It was disappointing to learn that Mr. Craig is a bit of a mumbler and there are lots of times when you flat out can't understand the words coming out of his mouth. The character is much more aggressive and not as polished as Pierce Brosnan's Bond, but he looks extremely well tailored in the multiple suits required for the role. The other part of the movie that guys will love is Daniel Craig portrays Bond as much more of a fighter, let's get ready to rumble kind of guy. The film is a bit overly long. It could have finished in say an hour and 45 minutes instead of the 2hrs and 24 minutes. The only other complaint is that the movie has too many dry spells after starting out with a huge bang.

Overall, it is worth it just to see Craig emerging from the ocean with the body of a Greek god. Hello, PEOPLE, Sexiest Man Alive right here! The movie is entertaining and I'm guessing that Daniel Craig just might do one more 007 film if he plays his cards right!

Sexiest Man Alive, Again

George Clooney has once again been named as the sexiest Man Alive according to People Magazine. The 45 year old, proverbial bachelor received his first nod in 1997. I have to assume that the editors or whoever is doing the picking has missed all the other gazillion men out there who could have been Sexiest Man Alive. For instance, Batman Begins and The Prestige star Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, or the new 007 himself, Daniel Craig, all could have been chosen to be the new Sexiest Man Alive. I appreciate that Clooney has brought international attention to the plight of those less fortunate, but come on, there are other sexy men out there.

Baby News!

My Name is Earl Star, Jamie Pressly has confirmed that she is 4 months pregnant and expecting a baby boy with fiance Eric Cubiche. She made the stunning announcement on a Wednesday taping of the Tonight Show. The Momma to be already has a name picked out: Dezi James, because she's an I Love Lucy fan. Congrats to Ms. Pressly and her fiance.

Also having a baby are Donald Trump Jr. and his wife of one year Vanessa. The baby is due early summer 07'. Hummm his kids uncle will only be like 1 year older than him. Aww isn't that sweet.

Emmitt is the Winner

Congratulations go out to Emmitt Smith and his dancing partner Cheryl Burke. Who picked up her second win for Dancing with the Stars. The vote was close and Mario Lopez and Smith had similar score last night. But when it came down to the vote, honey, Texas fans and NFL fans alike didn't let #22 down.

Smith told People, "I am so proud of this trophy and I am proud to share it with Cheryl". I'm sure they'll be celebrating.

Meanwhile a completely dejected, no dimples flashing here, Mario Lopez said, "Apparently world class dancing wasn't enough" to People. All the while trying to comfort partner on and maybe off the dance floor, Karina Smirnoff. Is it just me or is something kind of wrong when your partners last name is the same as an alcoholic beverage.

Anyway, all couples will reunite in New York City for a Ronald McDonald House Charity Event.

Dang, just when I thought I could escape without doing a post on this. Tom Cruise and fiance Katie Holmes appear to be headed for not marital bliss, but full on insane media coverage. The latest details to emerge from this mess, are that reportedly Andrea Bocelli will serenade the couple in their Italian wedding. Katie Holmes will be held up of course by her father while wearing an Armani gown and Christian Clive perfume that costs $2, 300 an ounce. Don't know about you, but this is a couple that is trying a little too hard to prove that they love one another. In addition to this Tom has left 2 of his most famous supporters off his guest list! I know both Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah Winfrey both hollered "What the heck?" when they didn't get an invite. But it's probably for the best that Oprah not be there, I wouldn't want Tom to spontaneously start jumping around in the pulpit. Stay tuned for this one, since the "W" day is fast approaching, rumored to be on the 18th of November.

Dancing with the Stars

The Final Two

It's finally here. Who is going to be the next king of the dance floor. Will it be the Latin, heartthrob Mario Lopez or the legend of the gridiron? Both men have fierce supporters and this could shape up to be the most voted on Dancing with the Stars finale yet. During this competition we've seen supporters from comedian, George Lopez to football great, Michael Irvin. The competition this year was most unusual with its hodge podge of contestants including, Jerry Springer (what the world?), Vivica Fox who should have made it further, Harry Hamlin who showed why the dancing should be left to wife Lisa Rinna, and of course messy divorce number what from former contestant Sarah Evans.

Tonight it all goes down on ABC!

Oops, She Did It Again!

Look out world, who needs Nuclear Warfare, when you have Naomi Campbell. The Supermodel has just been sued by her former, you guessed it, employee. The former maid, named Gaby Gibson according to the Associated Press, says that Campbell hurled insults at her as well as assaulting her. The suit is claiming that Campbell "punched or pushed the maid over backwards" causing injury. Mind you, this is the second time this SAME EMPLOYEE has tried to sue Ms. Campbell. Do you sense a pattern? And can you ask yourself, why in the name of you know what would you still be working for someone who knocked your behind out. You mean you actually have to wait to hear the words: You're Fired! Now if, big if, ole girl gets convicted she's looking at up to 7 years in the "big house"(who's your momma, now?), deportation, and major fines.

"If I Did It"-- He's Back

OJ Simpson, just keeps on coming, just in time for the Holidays.

It was announced today by FOX that they will air a 2 part special featuring the Former NFL Player. Who has written a book detailing his "hypothetical theory" on the deaths of his former wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. This case is more than 10 years gone and this man is still getting press. The latest comes from the deal that he did with Judith Regan, of Regan Books. Her publishing house is home to some of the best literary giants of our time, like Jenna Jameson, Marilyn Manson, Jose Canseco and Bernie Mac to name a few.

So if you get done with Turkey and Dressing and you still have an appetite, tune in.
