HALLE BERRY: WEDDING CAKE BLUES?

normal_003.HALLECUTjpg
Right before Christmas, Halle Berry was seen at LA’s Sweet Lady Jane bakery selecting sweets to take home. Before she left, she picked up the portfolio of lavish wedding cakes and started asking all kinds of questions, including “How far ahead of time do I need to place an order? And get this, she was flashing a large diamond ring on her engagement finger! She’s been dating that hot Canadian model Gabriel Aubry for awhile now. We figured SOMETHING might happen over the holidays, but no news yet. We know Halle wants a baby and a husband – which will she get first?

HILARY DUFF, JOEL MADDEN AND THE BARBIE DOLL

barbieSplitCutB
It just leaked out that Hilary Duff’s lookalike Barbie Doll played a big part in her bustup with Joel Madden! Back when Hilary was working closely with the Barbie people to develop the doll, the issue of how important her good-girl image is came up. Hilary was reminded that she must be a good role model for all those little girls buying dolls. Certain people worried about her boyfriend Joel’s rockstar-punk image. Family and friends expressed THEIR concern over Joel’s future – and questioned whether he just riding on successful Hilary’s coattails. It got Hilary to thinking. She really wasn’t happy with her relationship. Finally the Barbie makers brought up the subject of making a ‘boyfriend” doll for Hilary’s doll – like Ken is to Barbie. But they realized they couldn’t make a tattooed pierced rocker doll of Joel, so they dropped the idea. Not long after that, Hilary dropped Joel.

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON: DESTINY OR BALONEY?

Untitledjustscar
There was some VERY interesting gossip floating around one LA nightclub on New Year’s Eve, but we don’t know whether it’s absolute fact or the booze talking. Since this IS a gossip site we feel compelled to pass it on to you and let YOU be the judge: fact or fiction. Undoubtedly, it will prove itself either way in the near future. Anyway, here we go. After a few cocktails, a friend of Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz remarked that “they broke up almost two weeks ago.” (the last time WE saw them together was at Justin’s SNL appearance two weeks ago.) Then, the so-called source dropped the REAL BOMB – he predicted that Justin would eventually hook up with Scarlett Johansson. – implying that something was already going on between them. For your information, Scarlett spent New Year’s at Hyde with her girlfriends, looking bored. It’s Hollywood – anything can happen.

JEFF BRIDGES: HOTEL HIJINKS?

Jeff Bridges, (The Big Lebowski) is generally considered to be an ideal family man for a Hollywood actor, so observers were surprised by his behavior while staying at the Stanyan Park Hotel in San Francisco. He was seen in the lobby several times greeting a tall pretty young woman with affection. People in the hotel were horrified “We thought he was happily married.!” In fact he had stayed at that hotel with his wife Susan so they knew her. Jeff’s companion was the talk of the place until one afternoon when he was in the restaurant and he was heard proudly introducing the girl “This is my daughter.” Jeff has three daughters in their twenties and yes, he and his wife are still together.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO: MAMA'S BOY

Seems like yesterday that we told you about Leonardo DiCaprio being particularly good to his mother and now he’s up to more of the same shenanigans. Leo took his young model girlfriend Bar Rafaeli to Prada in Beverly Hills and he generously encouraged her to pick out several very expensive handbags, along with accessories and a few dresses. But he didn’t forget mom – without even looking at the pricetags, he purchased JUST AS MANY extravagant bags and articles of clothing for his mother as he did for his pretty girlfriend.

ASHLEY OLSEN: EXPERIENCED TRAVELER

Ashley Olsen must be planning a trip. Shopping alone, she bought several pieces of modest luggage at Beverly Hills Luggage and had the clerk carry it out to her Cadillac and put it in the trunk. She was parked in the red zone but didn’t get caught. Since she is carrying a $40,000 Hermes CROCODILE BAG, one might think it odd that she buys such plain luggage. But she’s smart – it’s the fancy expensive stuff that ends up lost or missing at the airport.

Just because Christmas is over, doesn’t mean the shopping stops. Kate Beckinsale treated her her lookalike daughter Lily to a visit to Kitson Kids on Robertson. How cute is little Lily! When they had their fill of kid stuff, they hopped into the back set of a carful of friends and it looks like they forgot to buckle up…

JAMES BROWN : WE'D RATHER REMEMBER YOU UPRIGHT

10605910_brncutX300.jpg
We are horrified that James Brown might have inadvertantly started a tasteless trend. Everywhere we looked for the past few days – from online to newspapers to television – we have been greeted by pictures of dead James Brown lying in his casket. Whether we WANTED to see it or NOT! Tame celebrity shows including The Insider showed me, against my will, pictures of James Brown’s dead body.. Since when did it become okay to reveal deceased celebrities laid out in their caskets? At one time only The Enquirer would do such a tasteless thing. We’re sure that James, always fussy about his appearance, would NOT have appreciated this. We’re afraid James has opened he door to a parade of dead celebrities in the future.

ANGELINA JOLIE KNOWS WHAT BRAD WANTS

Untitledsidfrankie
If you’ve been wondering what in the world Angelina Jolie bought Brad Pitt – the man who has everything – for Christmas, we’ve got the answer. Clever Angelina knows her man loves modern art – and has, in his collection, a smirking mug shot silkscreen of Steve McQueen done by English artist Russell Young. It’s very Warhol inspired. Since Brad is particularly fond of Young’s colorful work (and so are WE,) Angelina bought him two more prints from the celebrity mug shot collection. In our opinion she selected the cream of the crop – Sid Vicious and Frank Sinatra. We all know what Sid was arrested for, but we were surprised to learn that Frankie was arrested for “adultery” in 1938.

Anything Goes

This TV star is very recognizable but he used to be a lot cuter when he was younger. He’s looking for love and having a hard time finding it. So he’s advertising for sex on the Adam 4 Adam.com gay male website. He doesn’t use his name, but his photo reveals his identity and his motto is “anything goes.” He’s only around 5’6″ and skinny but what he wants is a big muscular guy into rough and tumble sex. He likes the fresh-out-of-prison type. We hope he doesn’t get MORE than he bargained for.
