SCARLETT JOHANSSON DOESN’T WANT TO BE MARRIED TO THE SEXIEST MAN ALIVE

Scarlett Johansson has learned the hard way that being married to The Sexiest Man Alive isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. (Jennifer Aniston can vouch for this fact also.) Scarlett and her husband of barely two years, Ryan Reynolds, have split only a month after Ryan was anointed by People magazine. The actors claim the bustup is due to the fact that they never saw each other because they were always working. (In fact, it IS difficult to find a recent photo of them together.) Didn’t they think about this job situation before they walked down the aisle?

ROBERT DE NIRO LEAVES THE FOCKERS TO RETURN TO THE MOBSTERS


After far too many “Meet The Parents” and “Focker” movies, it looks like Robert De Niro is set to redeem himself in a mob film directed by his buddy Martin Scorsese. Scorsese, who has been favoring Leonardo DiCaprio as his leading man, is directing a script based on the book “I Heard You Paint Houses.” (“Paint houses” is mob slang for contract killings.) The movie is called “The Irishman” and it’s about Frank Sheeran, a labor union official who became a mobster responsible for 25 killings – including Jimmy Hoffa. The real Sheeran confessed this to the book’s author before he died. How Bobby will prepare for this role is not known but you may recall he drove a cab before he filmed “Taxi Driver.”

CHER: IT WAS NO EASY TASK PULLING THIS LOOK TOGETHER FOR BURLESQUE PREMIER

Did anyone happen to notice how incredibly complicated Cher’s dress at the London premier of “Burlesque” was? It actually diverted attention away from the movie’s disappointing boxoffice performance. Cher’s goth-inspired Julian McDonald gown was customized to give her a little more skirt coverage but as you can see by the back and front views it must be a chore to put the outfit together. Adding to the fun was the tiny piece of tape near Cher’s earring that had observers speculating that her flawless neck and face might be pulled back with tape under her wig. Imagine how many hours Cher spent getting ready for this event – Burlesque producers should give her a bonus.

Against all odds, Holly Madison’s romance with All Time Low musician Jack Bakarat is still going strong after three months. Holly’s currently performing in Peepshow in Las Vegas and Jack’s a frequent visitor. Not only are they seen at parties and clubs all over town, but they celebrated Holly’s 32nd birthday together at Tao nightclub on December 3. Jack, 22, is obviously having tons of fun with the former “Girls Next Door” star. Jack’s adoring fans might not be happy to hear this.

THESE FROLICKING DOGS WILL WARM THE COCKLES OF YOUR HEART

This is our idea of a holiday season video that is filled with pure joy. Our fellow dog lover and blogger Stephen Saban at The Wow Report found this video that is guaranteed to chase away the holiday blues. Two labs are overcome with delight as they “dogsled” without benefit of sleds on deep snow. Nothing beats a happy dog.

WE GET THE JOKE, CHELSEA, BUT IS IT REALLY A JOKE?

Photo Credit: Pacific Coast News
Of course, Chelsea Handler was joking when she posted this intimate bedroom photo with 50 Cent on Twitter. They both seem to enjoy the publicity they garner as a pair. She captioned it “ I don’t know why anyone thinks I would ever date a rapper!” Chelsea and Fitty appear to be kissing on a bed, but keep in mind, behind every joke there is an element of truth.

ZAC EFRON AND VANESSA HUDGENS BROKE UP RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS

There have been plenty of false alarms for these two, but America’s Sweethearts Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens insist they have finally broken up for good. And what timing! Vanessa’s birthday is December 14 and it’s right before Christmas and the dreaded New Year’s Eve! They’ve been together for four years since they did High School Musical for Disney, and that’s a LOOONG time in teen years – both have done a lot of growing up since then. Still, it’s the end of an era.

LONG BEFORE “THE GOLDEN GIRLS,” BEA ARTHUR WAS A MARINE

This scoop from The Smoking Gun nearly slipped past us in the holiday scramble and we knew you’d love it. The intrepid site dug up the late Bea Arthur’s personnel records from when she was a marine. Yes, a MARINE! In 1943, Bea- then known as Bernice Frankel, heard that enlistments for women in the Marines were open so she decided to join. She named her “hobbies” as music and dramatics. Her personality appraisal sheets listed her as “argumentative” and “over aggressive” but she performed well as a typist and truck driver in the service. By the time she was discharged in 1945, she had advanced to staff sergeant. Her only misconduct report was due to her contracting a venereal disease that left her incapacitated for duty five weeks in late 1944. Maybe THAT’S why the star of “Maude” and “Golden Girls” didn’t speak about her time in the marines, in fact she denied those years in the military. If it weren’t for the Freedom of Information Act we never would have known!

CARRIE FISHER ON JOHN TRAVOLTA: “HE’S GAY AND WE DON’T CARE.”

Carrie Fisher may have opened herself up to a lawsuit from John Travolta – and it’s a shame because she really likes him. Carrie, who is hilariously honest about the people in her own family, didn’t hesitate to talk to The Advocate when they brought up the subject of Travolta filing a lawsuit against a website who called him gay. She said “Everyone knows John is gay and we don’t really care. I’m sorry he’s uncomfortable with it – it only draws more attention when you make a legal fuss.“ Travolta IS litigious when it comes to his sexual preference – so Carrie beware!

TILA TEQUILA AND DAVE NAVARRO DON’T MIND PUBLICITY

Tila Tequila is usually quite predictable and not all that interesting, but two new elements in her life have aroused our curiosity. Apparently she is hot and heavy with a guy as opposed to a girl – and he happens to be Dave Navarro. What’s more, she’s driving a new Lamborghini. Whether these situations are related is not known, but for some reason we WERE surprised by the Navarro connection. They’ve been seen out together several times and she was photographed leaving his apartment.
