Jessica Simpson was hospitalized for a few days a little over two weeks ago, and details are now emerging that might point out her rumored kidney infection was triggered by a very agitated lifestyle and a dramatic increase in her alcohol consumption. Star magazine broke the story citing "inside sources" - which can only mean that someone had access to Jessica's medical records and we might be dealing with yet another Britney-style breach of ethics, courtesy of the good (and nosy) people at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The magazine claims that Jessica did indeed have a kidney infection triggered by alcohol abuse, and that she also d...

Akon tried to make himself pass for a hard-core criminal, who spent three years in jail for allegedly running a car theft ring and chop shop. However, The Smoking Gun just uncovered that the rapper's "criminal past" was mostly fabricated, and that Akon himself only served a few months in a county jail, accused of gun possession. The situation is all the more embarrassing for the rapper as a lot of his most successful songs (including his breakthrough single "Locked Up") were written in such a way as to boast his tough life as a ha...

However, don't allow her romantic endeavors to distract you from more pressing issues - such as the fact that the 23-year old Victoria's Secret angel is one of the most ridiculously hot women in the world. Her high-profile relationship to 31 year-old "Lord of the Rings" star put aside, Miranda remains one of those ladies who can - as the saying goes - stop the sun, the moon and pretty much every other constellation out there in its tracks. Metaphorically, of course. The corollary to all this is that whenever nude photos of the Australia...

Her co-star and unlikely love interest will be played by Gerard Butler, best known for P.S. I Love You, The Phantom of the Opera and, of course, 300. The interesting part is that even though production for the new flick has barely taken off, we're already facing not as much leaks, as floods with regard to its plot and even some of its key scenes. Such as, for example, a scene in which Katherine Heigl re-enacts perhaps one of the modern ...

The sexy British exhibitionist, who has long and rich history of flashing various private body parts on camera, has done it again. Only yesterday, Miller - who is currently spending her holidays to the States with her boyfriend Rhys Ifans - somehow managed to lose her bikini top while enjoying a dip in the ocean, and showed the world the full extent of charms by exposing her breasts full-on to the eagerly-awaiting paparazzi. And since Sienna seems to really enjoy hitting the waves, there's a good chance her outrageous flashes and slips will haunt... [read more >>] American supermodel and Sports Illustrated trademark beauty Marisa Miller is one lucky woman. Some of her fellow models and Victoria's Secret angels may be complaining about how difficult it is to hold on to their enviable looks, juggle their careers and their personal lives, hold on to their diets or exercise regimes. But not Marissa Miller, no - her only complaint seems to be the fact that she has a huge amount of underwear. Which some of the guys out there wouldn't exactly qualify as a serious problem but rather something they could learn to live with. Marisa is currently in Miami, promoting Victoria's Secret new swim line... [read more >>] Celebrity witch hunts are the latest rage in Hollywood. Whether we're talking babies or weddings, it looks like the height of all fashion these days is to have a little secret that you're in fact dying to "let slip", but do your best and keep it under wraps hoping for a maximum of exposure and "controversy". It all pretty much started with Jennifer Lopez and her "non-existent" pregnancy - one of the worst kept secrets in Tinseltown at the time and a source or perpetual annoyance for both magazine editors and the audience alike, which had less to do with the news itself and more with Lopez' trademark arrogance and her obvious ...

The NY Post, which broke the exclusive story, reveals that the 15-minute film footage reportedly depicting Marilyn performing oral sex on an unknown man has just been sold to the highest bidder, an unidentified New York businessman. The long-buried sex flick is said to be an illicit copy of the original tape, which has been in the hands of the FBI ever since the mid 1960s.When the FBI first obtained the incriminating piece of evidence, its director, J. Edgar H... [read more >>] Alicia Keys is either bored with her own success and looking for some controversy to "keep things real", or simply hasn't yet learned that for an artist of her caliber and of her exposure, some topics are simply taboo. Controversy travels very fast and wide these days, and there are more than enough quite recent examples to prove that when artists start to talk about such things like the 9/11 attacks being a farce, a world of criticism and (mainly) unlawful judgment is quickly unleashed upon them. Alicia Keys is the last one to stir up the pot and get burned doing it: in an interview with Blender magazine, the successful R&B artist cla... [read more >>] Cameron Diaz - sometimes dubbed "the gorgeous goof", sometimes berated and sometimes deemed incredibly annoying - is apparently ready to come out of hibernation and start acting on a regular basis again. Even if high-profile movie projects featuring Cameron have been somewhat thin on the ground lately, have no fear: Cameron is done with soul-searching and has apparently figured herself out enough to take to the big stage again and put in talk-show and glossy magazine appearances. Last week, she rocked GQ with a smoldering hot bikini spread, while this week she's on the cover of "W" magazine, talking about moving to New York and her sec... [read more >>] |
