Celebrity Gossip Whore

[Madam Pomfrey]

Some late night gossip I just ran across-

http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1184497,00

I hope I did the link correctly. If not, its on people.com


Congratulations to Brad and Angelina- I had hoped she would go for a natural birth (because I am a birth nut) but it seems there were minor complications that might have led to a c-section.

[Madam Pomfrey]

Obviously, my link didn't work. I hate it when that happens.

The Antichrist has been born and shall do battle with the reincarnation of Lord Xenu (i.e. Tomkats' spawn).










lol...of course I have nothing against the babies themselves, but their folks are insane.

[TinkerbellAPixie]

So how soon before we get Jennifer Aniston's non-reaction?

[AvaMarie]

I agree with Firecat.

Good for them.

[zoobabe]

That's gonna be one HELL of a good-looking little girl! Congrats to them!


I wonder if they'll sell the first pics of the baby toraise money for African orphanages? They should, considering what the country has done for them as far as helping to protect their privacy.

Please tell me the poll about making this child's birthdate a National holiday in Namibia is a joke. I mean, come on......................

[derder]

Something occured to me today as I read my new People Mag (FYI: the pics of Brangelina's baby are really cute- That baby is beautiful- SHOCKER!)
Why haven't Tom and Katie released a picture of Suri?
Any thoughts on this? I think it is suspicious (as was the whole pregnancy to begin with). Every other celeb has released a picture or pictures of their new baby-
What is going on?? Why are they hiding her? How do we know she even exists??

[Clair]

Ooh! Good question!

What I want to know is why Nicole would confess to Ladies Home Journal that she still loves Tom when she is about to get married to someone else. Does she think Tom will read it, leave Katie and remarry her?

[Aspen001]

Doesn't Suri have to spend like 2 months with the Scientologists so they can annoint her or some shit like that?

If the pregnacy was a sham, Katie has really been keeping up her acting skills because you could not get in a nursing bra again unless my newborn babies like depended on it.

I think that quote was blown WAY out of proportion. I interpreted it as "I still care deeply about the man who is the father of my children and it is important to me that his life turn out well", rather than "I cry myself to sleep at night wishing he'd come back to me"...

[Clair]

Pekmboyd - Valid point. I reread the write-up (below) and I think she sounds sad.

Despite splitting from Tom Cruise five years ago, Nicole Kidman says that she still considers their 2001 divorce a "major shock" – and confesses that she still loves her ex.

"To me, he was just Tom, but to everybody else, he is huge. But he was lovely to me. And I loved him. I still love him." Kidman, 38, tells the Ladies' Home Journal in a new interview, in which she also reveals a certain premonition about something dire being about to happen.

[jelliepair]

I just cant help but be catty and bitchy (its my nature) so I thought we could all snark on those that may not cross our paths on our beloved reality shows or series. In the spirit of Joan, I will start snarking and I look forward to your many replies...

Has anyone REALLY looked at Nicole Kidman lately? Or is her name now Nicole Urban? Besides looking like she belongs in Madame Tussards (and even Madam Tussard would probably add a little more color to her face so she looks more life-like), she is scary fugly. She was a natural and beautiful girl (think Days of Thunder) and now she is a scary monster. Really. Disturbing.

Keith Urban looks like a greek god compared to her. She is so shiny and plastic that I am afraid she might get recalled. Is she an alien? Did Tom and the Scientologist create a curse or biologic weapon that will slowly render her lifeless? Its working whatever it is!!

Kate Bosworth. Pale, and PAINFULLY thin. maybe she's not getting enough of Orlando's juice lately, but she is the co-star of one of the biggest movies this summer. She should really try and look healthier for all the press she's going to receive. Some sun and some carbs would help.

funny thing is just as I was typing this, they announced that she's coming up on the Today show. We'll see if she looks any better.

I am with you on Miss Bosworth. She has a forehead you could project movies on. I was so disappointed when they cast her as Lois Lane - couldn't they find an actual brunette to do the job?

I saw Click this weekend - Julie Kavner and Henry Winkler were scaring me. I am not sure which one of them has had more scary plastic surgery. Why can't people just age gracefully anymore? The new trend towards botoxed foreheads, tight eyes, shaved noses and porcelein veneers is breeding a scary new wave of mannequin people.

Thats what I am talking about!!! Yeah Topic!!

I think all this stuff to myself and have no one to share it with...

Cruise & Holmes Baby Pictures Fail To Sell

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes refused to sell pictures of their new daughter Suri, after the photos were offered to the media and failed to get a significant price, according to media reports in the US. Photos of other new born celebrity babies, including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's baby Shiloh, Gwen Stefani's baby Kingston and Brooke Shields' baby Grier have all graced the covers of major magazines. According to Fox News correspondent Roger Friedman, a photo shoot of Suri was offered to photo agency WireImage. Photos of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt were reportedly sold to People magazine for $4 million, but pictures of Suri Cruise produced not more than a $3 million bid. At that point the offer for the photos was reportedly rescinded. A magazine expert tells Friedman now that the baby is nearly three months old, her price will only go down, adding, "Shiloh was the whole deal. We won't see a baby like that again for a while."

[derder]

Why no pictures of Suri Cruise?
Why did Gwenyth Paltrow speak with an Irish accent at the Golden Globes last year?
Why is Paris Hilton such a c__t?
Why did Eddie Murphy get picked up with a transvestite in his car?
Why do Nicole Kidmans children not live with her?
Why did Britney Spears let herself go?
Why didn't Oprah marry Steadman?
Why did Paris and Nicole really breakup?
Why are there rumors that Jada and Will live homosexual lifestyles on the side?
Why do actresses strive to look skeletal and waxy?

Thank You very much, TheClair. This has been bugging me.

[Clair]

You're welcome.

I'm curious to know if they thought $3 million isn't enough money or if they had to best Shiloh... or both...

[derder]

My guess is they were pissed that The Pitts got more (I get the feeling Tom Cruise is a competetive prick about money and business). And I'll bet anything they never wanted this to get out. Where is this article from? He will probably be suing them next.

here's another one- why does Christina Aguilera always wear SO much makeup? It's like she has another face on top of her real face. She's a pretty girl too, she doesn't need all that.

[derder]

Well supposedly (according to Gossiplist.com) Will is on the "downlow" with Eddie Murphy and some other African American celebrity men (I can't remember exactly who), and Jada has flings with women.
Seriously, this website has a lot of good juice in it. It is worth the 10 bucks. I think it was for a three month membership and then I terminated it (I had already read everything). But the archives are where all the good stuff is, and you can only read it if you pay.

[angiemarie]

Does anyone think Eva Longoria (the one from Desperate Housewives) is hot? I think she is attractive, but not sexy. And if Tom Cruise has all these fake relationships with actresses (Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, Katie Holmes), why does always pick women who are taller than him? There are plenty of petite starlets in Hollywood who would jump at the chance to be in a "relationship" with one of the world's biggest stars.

[jelliepair]

Eva Longoria is not cute - shes just thin and is on a "hit" show. No one would even look at her otherwise...I never heard of her before Desperate Housewives!

Tom Cruise freaks me out. I use to love him - he was the boy-next-door type but now he is just plain creepy.

How about Brittany on the cover of Harper's Bazaar...Bazaar is the right word for it!!!

[tati]

too true!! i read in an article where she was whining about how growing up she was considered the 'runt' of the litter by her family, who apparently ddn't thnk she was v cute either. Umm, Eva, they were right!! It dsn't help that there are all these nasty stories abt her diva attitude (how she stiffed a Colorado waitress on an $18 tab, whining, 'Don't celebs. get comped anymore?!') Pls. My sister works at a retail store where she came in w/ her b'frnd---Sis said b'frnd was nice, friendly to employees but that Eva was minimally polite & refused 2 look at any1 (as if they'd want 2---u're not all that honey!!)

Tom Cruise freaks me out. I use to love him - he was the boy-next-door type but now he is just plain creepy.

same here, i've alw. thot he was a fine actor (thnk A Few Good Men, Magnolia, etc), but his recent antics have really put me off. For shame.

How about Brittany on the cover of Harper's Bazaar...Bazaar is the right word for it!!!

seriously, if u go on nat'l TV asking to be left alone, to be left in peace, then maybe going nude on the front cover of a mag. is not the best way 2 go abt achieving that, Toots. I have felt bad for Britney in the past, & i still do, but that's mostly b/c she seems like such a misguided, naive girl, who needs some serious advice from Mom, or a Mom-like figure (Oprah, save ths idiot!)

hee hee, yea! I actually thnk ths dark color works nicely on her (as compared to the dried straw & split-ended blonde that was on view on Dateline last week, i mean). But when she was in her prime, her blonde hair looked pretty. (or were those extensions? still, the blonde looked nice on her).

[ObstinantGirl]

Awww, why should she? I sure never stick with the same color for very long! :p

Anyway, love the topic!

Why do people like Rosie O'Donnell get their own talk shows, their own magazines, and acting/singing gigs as well? I wish that she and Oprah would shut their mouths, go away, and leave all of us alone! They're complete self-righteous and obnoxious. And increasingly delusional.

Why is Paris Hilton still being photographed & worshipped by the papz's? Why was she given her own show, along with the nasty-looking (and behaving) Nicole R? It bugs me. They're talentless embarrassments.

Why does Larry King have his own show? He's scary-looking, and I'm quite sure that his breath must STINK from all those Garlique ("as in Unique") tablets he promotes. He also doesn't do a good job anymore as an interviewer (assuming he did do a good job at one point...which I don't know for sure).

[Pekmboyd]

They say any hair dye is bad, but I knew a woman who worked in a hair salon up until she went into labor and had healthy twins. These days they want pregnant women to basically live in a bubble!

[Pekmboyd]

It's not nearly as bad as peroxide / bleaching. To go darker there are more "natural" products you can use, but to go lighter it's usually too chemically - some docs don't have a problem with it but for a lot of people it's a better safe than sorry thing. There are too many rules to keep up with them all. I can never remember which kinds of fish I'm supposed to eat and which kinds I'm not, so I just quit eating fish. You're not supposed to eat too much salt, certain kinds of cheese, MSG...the list is ridiculous. Some women are sticklers for all the rules - I just try to stick to the big ones :)

[samynoodle]

According to all our other beloved gossip sites she did check with her doctor about using veggie based dye.... HOWEVER...the flipside to that is that she apparently did it herself and it was a hot mess when she showed up for that photo shoot... she didn't tell them what she had done and it was so bad they had to retouch it and add extensions... i really do feel bad for her...a show biz obsessed mom and a dad we rarely hear about.... no wonder she's making such poor choices... I say bring on Florence Henderson... Mrs. Brady knows everything

On the Nicole Kidman/Eva Longoria mentions - I read yesterday that Eva and her boyfriend showed up at the same resort where Nic and that hottie new husband of hers were trying to have a private honeymoon. What a bitch.

one bored day at work i checked out that website b/c another TVgasm poster had mentioned it---cracked me up for hours!! my fave badly-dressed celeb. is Chloe Sevigny---really hideous attire.

You're not supposed to eat too much salt, certain kinds of cheese, MSG...the list is ridiculous.

a few yrs ago, i read an article abt the very topic---the list does indeed seems to grow longer ea. year, going so far as to recommend that preg. w'm not wear bras w/ underwire b/c it might hurt the milk ducts in the breasts. it's a wonder that u can even leave the house while pregnant?! But bttr safe than sorry. My friend's mother had 4 girls back in the 60s-70s and smoked throughout all 4 pregnancies---at the time, smoking wasn't as frowned upon as it is now so doctors ddn't think it was a big deal. Thankfully, friend & her sister are all healthy and not impacted but still, that her mom smoked while pg is a shocking thot today. Nywys, hopefully some1 will take pity & give Brit. some good advice soon! (I luv'd the gossip about her doing a bad dye job herself, pr Brit!)

Can we talk about Tori Spelling now? I'm getting ready to read the USWeekly article about how she never got to say goodbye to her father b/c of her fued with her mother. How hypocritical can you be to be mad at your mom for doing something that YOU deem inappropriate in a marriage when you STOLE another woman's husband AND divorced your own husband to be with him? I really liked Aaron Spelling, but this girl needs to go away. Her acting can't keep her in the news, so she puts her troublesome personal life out there for everyone instead, and then she wants my SYMPATHY? Come on- she needs to crawl back under the rock she came from.

[jelliepair]

I never got to hear the whole dirt on Tori? ANyone?

And ok, its like 3 months now - where is baby Suri? Is there a baby Suri?
and why the hell do I care... :) :p

[Pekmboyd]

I never got to hear the whole dirt on Tori? ANyone?

The basics on Tori are that she got married to Charlie Something, then went off to film some craptastic movie where she met Dylan? Darren? something who happened to be married with a couple kids, and poof, they both went home, filed for divorce, and got together and married in less than a year. And now we're supposed to feel bad for her because Dylan/Darren's ex-wife is writing a nasty book.

As for baby Suri, there was a blurb just today in Page Six:

BABY Suri Cruise isn't just playing hide-and-seek with the public. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show off their spawn to fellow Scientologists John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Lisa Marie Presley. Even good pals Will and Jada Pinkett Smith supposedly have not met the newborn despite repeated calls to Cruise, reports Us Weekly. "Every time, it's a different excuse: He's busy or Kate's not feeling well," said a source. "[The Smiths] think it's so weird."

They're really not helping dispel the "fake baby" rumors!

[ObstinantGirl]

They're really not helping dispel the "fake baby" rumors!

Oooooooo....I hadn't heard those rumors, but they make perfect sense!
Tom's such a wacko. Katie can't be far behind him in that department.
Their baby (if there is one!) is doomed :rolleyes:

[Clair]

I wonder if their baby was born with some small abnormality that they don't want anyone to know about until they get it surgically corrected. The "$3 million isn't enough to see our pictures" could have been a ploy...

[samynoodle]

That's my thought too. I mean while I don't like babies or anything I do hope that the baby is okay and there is nothing seriously wrong with her. I also heard rumors of Katie being depressed post-baby...but as we all have learned from Tom that's a fake problem...man i wish he could have a baby.

[derder]

Clair- WTF is going on here???

[tati]

Guess the hospital ddn't have a set policy for issuing birth certificates to a 'basketball'! (i.e., the one Katie worn under her dress for 3 mos. or so!)

It really is strange tho, I can understand the desire for privacy on the part of celebs. but not obtaining a birth cert. for your kid in a timely manner?

[Clair]

It's the Great Mystery of 2006. :)

Here is one theory that I ran across on the TMZ website:

The Flurry Over Suri (by Harvey Levin)

Where the heck is Suri Cruise? My cynical opinion -- Tom wants to out do Brad.

So here's my theory. Brad and Angelina got around $4 mil for the first pics of Shiloh, which they donated to charity. The word on the street is that Tom and Katie couldn't get more than $3 million for Suri pics. When you're as big as Tom Cruise, the only place to go is down. He was the biggest star in the world for a long time, loved by all. Now he's neither the biggest nor loved that much.

So forget about the conspiracy theories. People just weren't as into Suri pics as Shiloh pics, and it probably drove Tom nuts. But wait -- there's a solution. Create a mystery and the world will go crazy. That's exactly what I think is going on. If people start questioning if this baby really exists, the pictures automatically become more valuable. If he gets more than $4 mil, he beats Brad. I'm guessing if that happens, the money goes to Scientology, which could make the whole plan backfire.

In this town, stars make their own luck. Until recently, the Cruise machine was the master of managed publicity. I think this could be an attempt to re-capture some good ol' glory days.

[derder]

Hmmm- That is certainly possible. I just hope this poor baby isn't sick or God forbid, severely handicapped or something. Remember, Tom Cruise admitted to purchasing a sonagram machine and doing his own personal sonagrams on Katie during her pregnancy? Come on, now- that can't be good...
God, this really is strange...

We were discussing this at the gym this morning and our collective theory is that Katie was impregnated with the frozen sperm of L. Ron Hubbard but didn't know it until Suri was born looking like the back cover of Dianetics.

We are all looking forward to the Apocolypse...at least we won't have to do the ellipitcal again!

Apparently Katie was spotted sans baby in Colorado recently although some store clerk said the baby was in his store with her and kinda ugly.

And have you heard the I-have-way-too-much-time-to-spend-on-this theory about Cruise and Kidman working together to create this mystery? I wish I had time like that on my hands.

Apparently Katie was spotted sans baby in Colorado recently although some store clerk said the baby was in his store with her and kinda ugly.

On Access Hollywood they said some hikers in Telluride saw Katie, Tom and the baby hiking, another one said they caught Katie breastfeeding. I find that second report odd -if I was hiding my baby from paparrazi I certainly wouldn't be breastfeeding out on a hiking trail.

[Clair]

Katie Holmes has hit back a rumors she is already expecting her second child with fiance Tom Cruise. The former Dawson's Creek star has rarely been seen in public since giving birth to daughter Suri on April 18. And one of the couple's neighbors tells American publication Us Weekly, "I heard from a lot of people that Katie is pregnant." Holmes was spotted in Telluride, Colorado, on Monday, where Cruise has a holiday home. She immediately hit back at the reports telling the magazine, "I am not pregnant again." During the star's outing in Colorado, she was accompanied by a girlfriend and was seen window shopping and sipping a coffee. Holmes once again did not have her new baby with her, much to the dismay of onlookers. She told the assembled crowd, "Suri's doing great! She's back at the house."

[joeypotter]

I am not big on sensationalism, but this whole deal smells like rotten eggs. Hiding Suri for $$$ or because she's fugly doesn't make sense (even if she bears no resemblance to Tom - unless its racial people wouldn't really notice with an infant, especially with a hat/bonnet). There are plenty of reliable reports that friends haven't been allowed to see the baby - what?! After 3 months?! And Katie's parents refusing to attend Scientology wedding....

I am seriously starting to believe that Suri does not exist, and that a whole lot of monkey business/adoption crap is going down. All because my poor Katie has been BRAINWASHED. My hope is that all is revealed soon and the big result is that Scientology is totally discredited.

Not that it had any credibility before....

[tvaholic]

Don't you find it kind of funny too how Tom & Angelina are like switching roles? Angelina used to be kind of crazy, but at least with her I think a lot of it had to do with youth and I'm sure some help via alcohol, drugs, or both. Tom used to be on the Tom Hanks track, becoming a better actor & making some good movies ("Collateral" sp? was pretty good.) Now she has calmed down and well, trying to do good in the world, I know it sounds schmaltzy but I think her "star power" is on the rise. Tom is revealing to the rest of us just how crazy he is and he's definitely on the decline. Does anyone out there besides celebrities really believe in & follow Scientolgy? And if so why would you when you have the stellar example of TomKat of how nuts it makes you? Or is it just that actors already are a little nuts & this just kind of goes along with their personalitys? Ok, that's my random rant for the day.

[Clair]

From "The Daily Whisper"

Remini: I Held Baby Suri

Since she was born on April 18, little Suri Cruise has managed to keep a low profile. In fact, at 3 months old, the daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes still has not been seen in public.

But at least one famous friend has gotten to meet her: "King of Queens" star and Cruise pal Leah Remini, who saw Suri at the couple's L.A. home recently.

"She's a beaming baby," Remini tells PEOPLE in its new issue. "She looks like Tom and Katie. She's just beautiful."

As for Suri's folks, Cruise is "one of those doting dads," says Remini, who, like Cruise and Holmes, is a Scientologist. Holmes looks "beautiful -- I'm jealous of her. She bounced right back."

"They're just great parents," Remini adds. "There wasn't a second that she was out of their arms except when I held her."

So why won't the proud Mom and Dad introduce Suri to fans? They're simply in no rush, Cruise's rep told PEOPLE in June. "Suri's in great shape. Everything's fine."

Oops, never mind...I just checked out www.realityblurred.com & saw it there. So, when will Howie from Backstreet boys come out? (If I'm thinking of the right one-I just missed the boy band hoopla growing up so I'm not sure-I hate that I know any of them, really.)

When my Mom found out that Rock Hudson was gay she freaked. (Apparently she had been carrying a torch for the hunky actor for years) Dad had a look of vindication...

Wait! Rock Hudson was gay?!

[elle]

Lovin' this thread!

My favourite celebs to hate...

Ashlee Simpson - fake nose, crappy songs & has ridden too far on her sister's fame

Tom Cruise - I am a firm believer in the "fake baby" conspiracy

Oprah - Have you seen her without makeup? Scary as hell!

There are lots more but that's all I can think of at the moment!

[brutal youth]

I'm an equal opportunity Simpson-sister-hater.

Also hate: Keith Urban- I decided improvement over Tom Cruise- but he flat irons his hair- I mean come ON.

Also actress from Desperate Housewives. Don't get it, don't wanna, never will.

[chick110]

I read in People that some actress has actually seen Suri and said that she was adorable. Maybe the chick from the Sopranos? I don't know if I believe her or not, she's probably one of THEM...

PS. My mom also had the hots for Rock Hudson--VERY disappointed when she learned that he was gay.

I think that is was Leah Remini (sp?) the girl from King of Queens, but she's a Scientologist too so...

[subgenre]

Wow, you GO Reichen!

His romance with Lance Bass is yet one more reason why I long with all my soul to be on The Amazing Race. If my stint on TAR can snag me an ambiguously gay former boy-bander, then ~ well ~ my life will have meaning!

So... anyone out in TVGasm Forum land wanting to be my partner on TAR ~ the fame, the glory, the Philmania!!! ~ please let me know. ;)

Actually, I always thought ole Lance was a wee bit too "special" (as in Rosie O'Donnell Riding the Bus with My Sister special) to ever wonder about his sexuality. Has anyone here ever seen Will Sasso from MAD TV do his impersonation of Mr. Bass? Spot on!

Now that Lance has Reichen to fly him to the moon, does this mean he will give up his seat on the next commercial space flight?

[chick110]

Wasn't Lance dressed up as a BIG HUGE BANANA for that Game Show Marathon show? I guess if that wasn't a big huge clue, I don't know what is...

Yeah, I remember seeing this from somewhere. It still doesn't do anything to explain the weirdness of the situation. Dude, with all the celebrity Scientologists out there, SHE was the one to see the baby?

Not anything against LR. I have fangirl love for her when she did a voice on one of my favorite computer games. :D

Subgenre- that would be so cool if you were on TAR! (I would watch!!)
I think you have to be a brave soul to go on TAR or Survivor or any of these shows. I wouldn't go in a million years! I don't need to see footage of myself crying and carrying on like a great big baby (and that's exactly what would happen). I'll own it, I'm a little spoiled, I like my bed and my things and there is no way I would go jumping off bridges and eating bug guts. Thank God I'm not twenty anymore or I would go in a minute and then regret it forever.

I'd love to be on TAR! But after recently getting lost in a very small town that I live near and have been to often, my presence on the show would be short-lived but probably entertaining. And by entertaining I mean I'd be fodder for the recap & forum. Then again, I don't think anyone on TAR is drunk when they're navigating; I wasn't so much "lost" as I was "confused."

he had 2 kids tati. Tori and Randy. I think that Randy will get a bigger cut, but Tori can always marry her way up right? Not to be too judgemental, but no rift with her mother would keep her away from daddy. Her mom can't block the doors. Her father still loved her. She was the one that chose to air her (and her family's) dirty laundry in public. If she really wanted to be by her father's side in his illness, she would have worried less aboout selling her "hush-hush" wedding pics to People magazine and got her ass to Beverly Hills to see her father.

Tori does seem like a media whore to me. Her motto seems to be "any press is good press", which may be why she went forth with that article about her family... classy girl.

Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will are the latest celebs to catch a glimpse of the heretofore invisible spawn of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes – and then tell the world about it.

What's more, Cruise's rep confirms that wedding bells will be ringing for TomKat sometime in the late summer or early fall.

Jada Pinkett Smith fills out the ever-blossoming portrait of Suri, who was born April 18 but has been absent from the public eye since then, describing her to People as "gorgeous" and "one of the sweetest babies I've ever met in my life." What's more, says Pinkett Smith, who's met the baby twice at Cruise's Beverly Hills home, Suri's an "absolute beauty" and "Daddy's little girl." That description – suggesting a resemblance to Tom – veers a bit from Leah Rimini's recent and non-specific portrayal of Suri as looking "like Tom and Katie."

I would be thrilled to get $800,000 for any reason! LOL

But since their mother is still alive, shouldn't she be getting the bulk of the estate? Also, didn't Aaron do enough for them while he was alive? He got Tori a gig on a TV show that lasted for 10 years for god's sake!

Definitely, mom should get the bulk of the estate. (and I know a little bit about this- my dad died two years ago). But still, the man is worth (now I read) 500 million. It's definitely a slap in the face (not to mention Tori will have to pay taxes on the $800,000. and that means about $380,000. straight to Uncle Sam).

Sorry to bring up tax law in such a fun thread :D - but Tori and the brother proably won't pay taxes on an inheritance. Generally, the estate of the deceased pays a tax on the fair market value of all assets owned by the person at death. The bequests go to the recipients tax free. Minor exception: if the kids are a beneficiary of an IRA or other retirement plan, that money is taxable but there is a special deduction available if the estate paid tax on the same money. OK, class is over. Play nice! (Not!)

Okay, now were talkin' to the right person!! All I know is that we only paid a small amount on a somewhat large inheritance, but that was because of the way it was set up- and apparently it was kind of unusual and we got lucky (I can't go into details about the monies.... you know how it is).

[ObstinantGirl]

Family issues are always a bit dicey. I can't speak to the specifics, naturally, of the Spelling situation. But here's my general overview of this:

-Adults accept responsibility to care for their offspring/children until the age of 18. This responsibility includes basic care and essentials: for the children to be housed, fed, educated and clothed in a warm/clean/appropriate/basic manner. Anything beyond this is their choice to give, but not their responsibility. And children have no right to expect anything beyond the basics.

-Children should not EXPECT to be put through college, to be taken care of financially (or bailed-out of financial mishandlings), to be given vehicles, houses (or downpayments for houses), or to be given inheritances upon the death of their parent/s.
-Parents should not feel obligated to do any of the above.

-My parents are well-off. However, I expect nothing from them...either now, or when they (hopefully many years from now) die. My expectation in life is to be self-sufficient. And I want to teach my children the same expectation. I don't think that you do your kids any favor by simply handing everything to them on a silver platter, or by bailing them out. My parents did a lot of this, and I'm STILL learning and recovering from that. It's my fault at this point, not theirs, if I haven't planned accordingly and made good financial decisions. Shame on Tori if she lived too large, and didn't save any of the tons of money she's made over the years. Should MaSpelling give her a larger inheritance? That's up to her, but perhaps she's doling out in smaller amounts initially, and seeing who handles their $800,000 wisely...and then later she'd give them other gifts. It's impossible for us to know. But what I do know is that I'm not inclined to feel sorry for Tori!

I love ebay...and I've gotten tons of great things via ebay over the years. But, beware of buying high-priced items on ebay, or of dealing with the mega-sellers. That's where I got screwed. And ebay offers no method for dealing with a client services rep to try and iron things out. They've got a very specific set (and not all-inclusive) of things you can complain about, or try to work out, but if your situation doesn't exactly fit into any of those then you're stuck. Very frustrating.

So at this point I stick to dealing with smaller sellers, for smaller items. And even at that I'm vigilant about checking their seller profiles!

Has anyone here seen the old movie "Teacher's Pet", with Doris Day and Clarke Gable? My husband and I love that movie, it's one of our favorite stand-by's. Anyway, I found an original photo (with accompanying paperwork from the studio) from the shooting of that movie, of Doris Day, on ebay. It's gorgeous, and I bid on it & won it! I had the photo & paperwork framed and it's hung in various places throughout our house. What I love is the varied reactions we've gotten from people over the years. Everything from "Oh, I love Doris Day!" to "Uh, why do you have a picture of Doris Day in your house?" to "Who is that woman?" It's like our own little private joke (well, it was until I shared it here!)

I love eBay too! I listen to a lot of audiobooks at work and I can get them for much cheaper on eBay than in a store or at Amazon. When I am finished I sell them to someone else (and usually make a profit). I've dealt with many wonderful sellers and bidders and very few deadbeats.

I agree with you about mega-sellers, not all of them can be trusted. But smaller sellers with 100% positive feedback (like myself) are on the up and up. :)

[ScotyUtah]

I've dealt with all kinds of dealers and have been lucky to avoid some of the common nightmares I've read about. About the worse thing that ever happened to me was when I bought a pair of ski's from a guy in Canada and customs held up the delivery for over two months.

From the TMZ website:

Our weekly Suri Cruise sighting comes not from a Scientologist spreading the word of the as-yet-invisible child, but from one of Tom Cruise's ex-girlfriends.

Yesterday, Penelope Cruz said that she had in fact seen Suri and that the child is "one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen."

While attending the London premiere of her new movie "Volver," Cruz spilled the goods – just a tiny little bit – on her old squeeze's new kid, saying that Suri is "really beautiful." The Spanish actress, who co-starred with Tom Cruise in 2001's "Vanilla Sky" and dated him for three years, wouldn't give any more details about the unveiling.

This is the third Suri sighting since July, when, first, avowed Scientologist Leah Rimini and later actress Jada Pinkett Smith both told the world that they'd seen the child, who was born April 18 but has yet to be glimpsed by the public. They described her resemblance to both of her parents as well as her full head of black hair.

[Pekmboyd]

I don't think Tom's winning any points by getting his friends to tell us all he has the world's most beautiful baby - it's not bad enough you think you know what's best for women's bodies, now your kid is prettier than ours? New PR rep needed, stat!

[chick110]

I think a LOT of the problem is that he fired his former publicist and then put his sister or step-sister in that job. I doubt she has the clout or the know-how of the former publicist. I'm wondering how much damage control the former publicist did before he got fired. That would explain a lot.

I believe he fired the sister and hired a real guy here not too long ago...it was after the couch-jumping but before the imaginary baby was born. But his problem is with offending female fans, so he really should have hired women - any mother (even us soon-to-bes) will tell you that the way to our heart is not to brag (even through carefully planned releases by friends) that your kid is better than ours.

[Lizardqueen]

I don't really care if Suri exists. But I'm DYING to hear if the Pinkett Smith's are Scientologists. Does anybody know about this? What is their connection to Tom Cruise? I always thought Will and Jada were cool ass dudes in a very non-typical Hollywood way.

None of these recent articles about the Pinkett Smith baby-sighting have mentioned anything about them being Scientologists--and it seems that they usually would do so if that were the case, as they did when talking about Leah Remini & how she saw the baby & she's also a Sciento. I've never heard mention about them being Scien., let's hope not! :ohmy:

[EdHill]

I just got my "Hail Xenu" t shirt in the mail. I cant wait to bring it out to LA with me.

[Mulv]

I don't really care if Suri exists.

I'm with you, LQ, I don't care about this kid anymore. I was intrigued for about a week or two and now I just want the whole TomKatSuri family unit to go away. Would someone from the Center beam them up already, 'cause I'm done with them and their big bag of "amazing, great, happy" bullshit.

I think the connection between the Smiths and Tom Cruise stems from the fact that Jada Pinkett Smith was in Collateral, which, by the way, was a pretty damn good movie.

P.S. How did you get to be a Moderator/Resident Diva?

[EdHill]

Everytime I see Jada Pinkett Smith I am convinced that she must be the biggest bitch to be married too.

[Lizardqueen]

Everytime I see Jada Pinkett Smith I am convinced that she must be the biggest bitch to be married too.

EdHill, she's actually the smallest bitch to be married to. She's only 3'7".

Kate Hudson, Chris Robinson Separate

Hudson and RobinsonPhoto by: michael germana / starmax

Actress Kate Hudson and her husband, Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson, are splitting, PEOPLE has learned exclusively.

The You, Me and Dupree star's rep, Brad Cafarelli, confirms that the couple are separating after nearly six years of marriage.

Hudson, 27, and Robinson, 39, wed on New Year's Eve 2000 after dating for about a year. Their son, Ryder Russell, was born Jan. 7, 2004.

In September 2004, while shooting Skeleton Key in New Orleans, Hudson told PEOPLE about her relationship with Robinson since Ryder's birth: "We're sharing something so gigantic now. I think it's the best we've ever felt being together."

[BSL]

I was stunned when I read this.

Me too! I feel like we're entitled to at least six months of denials, fake kisses and other publicity stunts.

I heard she's making another romantic comedy with Matthew McWhatever. I think they'd be a cute couple - and she wouldn't even have to give up smoking pot!

I admit, I was too. I saw her recently on Leno & she chatted about whatever, some new movie she's in or will be in, but i don't really remember if she talked about hubby or kid (i wasn't really paying attention, TV was just on.) She never really gave an indication that there might be problems---well, naturally she wouldn't, but still there were no rumors about trouble in paradise in the gossip mags.

[HoneyBunny]

there were no rumors about trouble in paradise in the gossip mags.


tati - your right. There is usually the rumors of problems - then the denials - then more rumors with pictures of them not together and not wearing their rings, etc - then more denials - then the revelation of separation but trying to work it out - THEN the surprise announcement.
These two obviously didn't get the memo!

Exactly!! you hit the nail on the head! (I always used to mix that saying up w/ the 'bucket' one (?) for some reason 'you hit the nail on the nose/bucket'--not sure which 'bucket' saying i'm thinking of?? kick the bucket?). There was none of that whatsoever this time, just seemed to come outta nowhere, which is y i guess it surprised me a bit. :confused1:

I hafta say, even the Carmen Electra/Dave Navarro split surprised me! (i know, i know, naive!) But i rem'br watching some of their MTV show & thinking they seemed like a cute, suitable 4 ea. other pair. guess not! Now DN is supp'sd 2 b hooking up w/ Jenna Jameson :unsure: I saw her on some other ET type of show talking abt current hubby, a guy who eventually became her manager & has helped her make lots of $$$---nywys, she was saying outta love for him, she wasn't doing anymore girl/guy pornos, just girl/girl. Awwwww! if that's isn't true luv, dunno what is! :rolleyes2:

[derder]

Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro surprised me as well. I loved that little show of thiers on MTV. I thought they seemed really cute together.
Just goes to show ya, I guess. It's pathetic to me how so many Hollywood marriages only survive a few years (and many times months). I have discussed this with friends. We think it is because the majority of stars are so spoiled, that they don't know how to compromise.

I guess that is why Kate Hudson/ Chris Robinson surprised me. They don't seem spoiled. They seem more down to earth than that.

[Pekmboyd]

I guess that is why Kate Hudson/ Chris Robinson surprised me. They don't seem spoiled. They seem more down to earth than that.

I wasn't all that surprised - I remember hearing a radio interview with Kate not too awful long ago where she was basically saying that if he felt like he had to cheat on her she just didn't want him to be stupid enough to get caught - a don't ask, don't tell sort of policy. Supposedly that works for some people but it always strikes me as strange and a major red flag on the relationship.

[tati]

i agree, derder, i think that has something 2 do w/ it, i could believe that most stars are spoiled more than the average person and that that's bound to affect their personal relationships. I also wonder if their egos come in2 play as well---1 person gets more popular than the other, so the other gets jealous. Or one person is away from home a lot to promote/star in a new movie, sitcom, etc. But Kate & Chris did seem down to earth, not overly spoiled.

:eek: definite red flag. A long time ago, i remember telling a friend how i thot Goldie & Kurt Russell were so cute in 'Overboard' & how I like that theyre still together, etc & friend said that supposedly 'Goldie lets Kurt have affairs w/ other women'! I've never heard such a thing in the gossip mags, but if it's true, it's easy to see where Kate is coming from.

Wow that is a horrible way to look a marriage. I think celebrity couples get caught up in the romance to never take time to work on marriage. Just live together and date if you dont take anything serioulsy! Marriage is serious and it annoys me that hollywood couples think it is as easy as paying a traffic ticket to get ride of.

[angiemarie]

I think another problem with two celebrities getting married is the amount of time they spend apart. If you are working on a movie, you can be gone 30-120 days. And even if your spouse comes with you, you are stuck on set all day and have little time for them.

[derder]

I agree with all of these theories. Let's face it... These people really are unable to lead a "normal life" because of all of these things. I always think about how great it would be to be famous and fabulous until I really think about the sacrifices these people actually have to make.
Clearly the old adage is true- fame and fortune can't buy you happiness.

[derder]

I love how she says "I've never done drugs, never been around a prostitute, never known any porn stars". According to Hollywood lore, Charlie Sheen picked her up when she was a stripper in Queens. This is how he met her and of course, helped make her famous.


http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/agreeing_to_disagree_pagesix_.htm


August 16, 2006 -- DENISE Richards reached an "amicable" di vorce settlement in her bitter battle with Char lie Sheen yesterday, resolving custody issues in an L.A. court. Richards agreed to drop a re straining order requiring him to stay 300 yards from her and their two daughters. Meanwhile, the actress shows that she can still play the sexpot in this sizzling photo in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar . "The dynamic of Charlie and me just didn't work," she tells the mag. "We are two very dif ferent individuals. But when I met him, I really fell in love with him. Like everyone else, I'd heard about his past, but I couldn't com prehend it. I've never done drugs, never been around a prostitute, never known any porn stars. I couldn't even fathom that life style . . . Thank God we're able to end it now instead of spending 10 years to gether being unhappy."

Sorry, but I don't buy the "being apart" line...I'm married to a Marine, and he can go on deployments for 7 months or more at a time and at our previous duty station was gone for a month here and a month there in between the 7 month stretches, and even when he IS home, his work hours are like 4:30 in the morning until sometimes midnight. When you marry someone you take the whole package, and if that means someone who isn't home much then you signed up for it and you need to set your marriage up in a way that makes it work. Yes, it's hard (and the divorce rate in the military is probably pretty similar to the divorce rate in Hollywood) but I think the "being apart" thing is an excuse.

I read that Owen Wilson has an extreme butt fetish. (Which he owned up to). Apparently the guy likes to LICK women's buttcheeks for hours on end. Seriously- and he said "yup, it's true".

Buttlicks for HOURS on end, huh??? (insert Tim Gunn voice here) 'I'm a little ALARMED!' I still like him, tho, he's so goofy in his movies.

I mean, I'm more of a Luke Wilson gal myself but I think he's goofy and fun and Kate Hudson is so adorable and goofy. I just never saw her with someone that much older and so unattractive. You know Owen probably made her laugh a lot.

I don't know. But I swear I read it. And it is supposedly very hush-hush. And I still think Denise Richards is a scum-sucking homewrecker. Even worse than Angelina Jolie IMO. Afterall, she and Heather Locklear were friends. And it also cracks me up when she says "Heather and I haven't been friends since November". Heather Locklears response was something like "That's because she was screwing my husband and quit taking my phonecalls".

[jelliepair]

After reading a few other confessions on another post, I see there are other "Celebrity Gossip Whores" on Tvgasm forums. I cant get enough of all the snarky celebrity websites and blogs. Thats actually how I found my beloved Tvgasm!

HA!! I love Heather's response! I agree, Denise is scummy---being w/Charlie S alone makes u pretty scummy---sorry, but he dsn't seem like the rehabitable type. I hope their kids aren't all messed up by all of ths....

Anyways, the only reason I mentioned the Chicago thing is b/c I'm from Queens & if DR was from here, that seems like something I would've heard of by now over the years. (not that I care if she's from Qns or not, she very well could've been dancing up & dwn a ton of poles, I just meant that it's something that prolly would've been mentioned in the local press at some point---you'd think so, anyways!)

[marslo]

Jelliepair, I share your shame. I think it might be a sickness. I cannot get enough celebrity gossip and for some reason my brain is like a sponge for information about who is dating who, but when it comes to something about politics or economics, I can't remember it to save my life. Why is it that the useless stuff sticks? I sometimes wonder what I'd be capable of if all the brain space currently occupied by celebrity obssession was freed for more noble pursuits. Would I find the cure for cancer? The answer to global warming? The secret to world peace?

[Clair]

I with you guys - my shame is having an interest in the TomKat mystery relationship/child. Why is he so odd? Why is she with him? Where is the kid? Even more shameful is that I let my "Suri Who?" posting die down a bit when there was some news of a Suri sighting at a birthday party! :eek:

You should try Pinkisthenewblog.com - very similar to perez but without the whole "I'll talk about myself in the third person thing" which I find pretty creepy.

Its shameful and yet, I love it.

[Clair]

Suri's been spotted again-this time by an actual civilian! The heretofore mysterious daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes put in an appearance at a recent birthday party at a Los Angeles roller-skating rink for Jaden Smith, the son of Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, according to a report this morning.

The anonymous source says that Suri "is a beautiful baby. She had no deformities that I could see! She has a gorgeous head full of dark, curly hair, and she resembles both parents, though she looks slightly more like Tom."

Of course, this sighting, reported by Ben Widdicombe in his Gatecrasher column, raises more questions than it answers. For one, where are the photographs? Every kid's birthday party has a cameraman (or several), and it seems odd that absolutely no photos have surfaced from the party. Second, why is there only one source that claims to have seen Suri? Presumably there were more people at the party. In any case, the public's curiosity about the baby shows no sign of being satisfied. Perhaps the rumored sale of Suri's baby photos to Vanity Fair will quell all the rumors once and for all.

I read gawker too, & will check out Pink & Superfic. i checked out Perez once & almost DIED over how obsessed he is w/Paris, i loathe her!

[Mulv]

Oh yeah, I'm a big time celebrity gossip whore. I'm a little embarrassed about it. I wish I was interested in noble things, but I'm just not. I'm interested in TV and pretty people falling in/out of love. Yep, I'm shallow. I admitted it to myself long ago.

In all seriousness, I sometimes find the amount of pop culture/celebrity knowledge I possess disturbing. Why do I know that Keanu Reeves' birthday is September 2? There is absolutely no reason for me to know that, and yet, I know his birthday like I know my own. Frrrrrreeeeaaakkk. My friends make fun of me for it (as they should) but in my defense I am just naturally very good at remembering number sequences like birthdays, phone numbers, addresses etc. Keanu Reeves should just thank his lucky stars I don't know his phone number and address.

Oh, and Samynoodle, I'm totally obsessed with the idea of Kate Hudson/Owen Wilson too. I hope it's true. Is that mean to say?

Websites I regularly visit and recommend: Defamer, gawker, mollygood.com, usmagazine.com, perezhilton.com, people.com, hello-magazine.com.

Really? Not trying to be a smart ass here, but why?

Tabby's just a rebel rouser.
Of course I don't care about Brad Garrett's marriage. He isn't in the tabloids.

[Tabby Lavalamp]

Really? Not trying to be a smart ass here, but why?
Because I'm more familiar with his work, and enjoy him as a stand-up.

I do find that question interesting though. Why shouldn't I care more about Brad Garrett's marriage ending than Kate Hudson's?

[Mulv]

Well, you can care about whoever and whatever you like, of course. I just think most people care more about Kate Hudson's marriage ending because she's more famous and hotter. Plus, there is more than one celebrity involved in her breakup. Possibly three, so...it's got that going for it.

Ugh, I'm grossing myself out with this conversation. I'm going to go read the news or something. Aren't there, like, wars and stuff going on?

[derder]

Because although I like Brad Garrett in Everyone loves Raymond (which I only see when i forget to turn the channel after Seinfeld), he isn't a guy we read about all the time like many of the other celebs.
If you waste as much time as I do reading that garbage- you tend to become interested in the lives of the ones you read about and see pics of frequently. At least that is my spin on it. Brad Garrett isn't out there with cameras chasing him around.
Although I'm not really interested in the young, stupid starlettes like Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Mischa whateverhername is etc. I find them all pretty much revolting.

[derder]

And I agree with you mulv- I am hanging my head in shame as this conversation continues.

I for one ddn't recognize the name Brad Garrett (& i'm usually pretty good at this kinda thing) but once Ray was mentioned I knew who you're talking to. I'd have to agree w/derder & Mulv's posts abt why his marital woes wouldn't be as interesting---he's
