Brad is so bad!

What has happened to Brad Pitt? It seems that ever since he met Angelina Jolie he has undertaken a personality transplant and for the worse! I cannot believe how mean he is being to (the lovely) Jennifer Aniston. He obviously doesn’t love or care for her anymore, but that’s no excuse to be so nasty! She meant a great deal to him once and him to her, and there is no need to ruin that by pretending that she doesn’t exist.
His next film project seems set to be ‘Chad Schmidt’, where he plays two roles, that of the title character and also a fictional version of himself. I cannot believe that he is actually cutting Jen out of this film, like she was never involved in his life! People make mistakes, fall in and out of love – it happens. He’s hardly learnt from his mistakes either, he couldn’t have got heavily involved with Angelina any quicker if he tried! I think it shows immense immaturity on his part that he is behaving like this. It is, even more appalling that he referred to her as “nobody” when Maddox asked him who she was. How hurtful, how spiteful and how totally unnecessary. William Bradley Pitt grow up!

A new arrival for Liz?

Rumours have it Liz Hurley is pregnant again, not really a shock, it’s been news on and off since January; but now she has been seen in a figure hugging dress sporting a bit of belly, which we all know she doesn’t have! I don’t really see why this is so terribly exciting as Liz herself seems like a bit of a boring snobby celeb, who’s really famous for very little (well I suppose she was ok in that Austin Powers film). Also where is the shock in this news, she is engaged to Indian businessman Arun Nayar and a new baby would make a great playmate for her son. I do hope that she makes more of an effort with baby names this time around though, because the name Damien will always be to me – son of Satan – hasn’t she seen the Omen (or South Park!)

It’s a woman’s prerogative!

I can’t believe the recent obsession in magazines and on the internet with featuring female celebrities’ weight and BMI, like women don’t worry about these things enough. How horrifying for them to have everyone in the world knowing. I know that they are trying to demonstrate how under-weight they are – which is a valid point – but can’t they just say that without stating the actual weight?

Cher or scare!

Oh dear poor Cher, what has happened to her, years of surgery really did only hold off the inevitable, although she has unfortunately managed to prove that diet and exercise simply are the best solutions to aging and weight loss. At least it does give those of us who can’t afford the great extravagances of a full body makeover that there is a cheaper way, eating well and working out can save you thousands!

Welcome Home Julia!

So Julia Roberts and husband Danny Moder have taken a trip to New York, minus the babies for a short break. It was brilliant when Jules had twins Hazel and Phin, and I’m highly impressed that her career has taken a backburner to her eagerly anticipated family life, but we miss her! She has made a couple of movies recently, although only voiceovers so that she spends more time at home. Continuing with her fantastic mothering, these movies have had a distinct children’s theme – one being ‘Charlotte’s Web’.
But there is hope for a full Hollywood return as she has signed up to play the lead in ‘Charlie Wilson’s War’ Tom Hank’s new film, which is being directed by Sam Mendes, so she’ll be back on our screens shortly, and not a moment too soon!

Nicole rewinds time

So it looks like Nicole Richie and DJ AM – Adam Goldstein might be reuniting. I hope so. I know that she has been saying that their split didn’t impact on her dramatic weight loss, but it must have. Lots of women lose weight following a break up, you’re feeling insecure and usually get taken out by your girls to dance the night away. I actually quite like Nicole, now that she’s calmed down and got away from Paris “that’s hot” Hilton. She was a right pain when she was the wild child and I hated her in the 1st series of ‘The Simple Life’, with particular awful antics including pouring bleach on a pool table. I do hope that these reconciliation rumours are true though, she seemed much happier when she was with Adam, and she used to EAT!

And finally…

Poor Daniel Craig. I don’t think for a second that he will be as good a James Bond as Pierce Brosnan, but that doesn’t mean that he’s not a fine actor. He was superb in ‘Our Friends In The North’ (A UK TV drama); and I’m so sorry to hear that he’s been injured filming the latest Bond film and has lost some teeth. It’s really not nice that the tabloids have been ridiculing him, I’m sure that he’s beating himself up about it enough (excuse the pun!), so they should all just leave him alone!

Barton v’s Hilton (maybe in Paris’ head)

What is it with Paris Hilton and her obsession with having a feud with everyone around her age? First it was Nicole Richie, now her attention seems to have turned to Mischa Barton.
But Mischa it seems is having none of it, and doesn’t want to enter into a cat fight with the hotel heiress; simply stating that Paris is insecure and publicity hungry and someone that she barely knows. Barton is adamant that there is no rivalry between them, and it seems a little pathetic that all this is over Mischa dating Kimberly Stewarts ex Cisco Adler.
Allegedly, Paris is now looking to launch a singing career – oh fabulous like we need to see – or hear – more of her, I much prefer her sister Nicky, who lets be fair obviously has a lot more going on up top. The younger Miss Hilton has managed to launch a successful line of expensive bags (lets be honest they were never going to be part of a bargain line really) and now supports her own luxurious and relatively quiet lifestyle.
If only Paris had real things to worry about, she would get over her schoolgirl antics, and live a bit more in the real world. Unfortunately for Paris she is just like Pink says, a stupid girl.

I love Heath and Michelle!

I was very disappointed on Sunday that neither Heath Ledger nor Michelle Williams won anything at the BAFTA’s. Yes Brokeback Mountain was a little dull, but they both gave amazing performances, and – more importantly – seem like such lovely people, making a gorgeous family with baby Matilda. To be honest I would never have pictured them together before, but now they look so right! It is just lovely how much they are valuing being parents – no nanny like most Hollywood couples, Heath is looking to shun the limelight for a year – even with this massive breakthrough in his career making him hot property, to spend time at home with their baby, he plans to send Michelle out to earn the bacon. Let’s just see what she has to say about that!

Age really is nothing but a number!

Aw, Demi and Ashton. I must admit I didn’t think that it would last, but they’ve proved us all wrong. Now, happily married they were spotted out yesterday at an LA fashion event, and very stylishly not looking annoyingly in-love either. Hooray for the toy boy!

Wiggy Osbourne?

So Kelly Osbourne’s hair is falling out because she has over dyed it. It’s just another demonstration of the ridiculous excessivenesses in their lives. There is no way I would have been allowed to have dyed my hair to a frazzle, but then I also didn’t end up in rehab before I was 20. I have nothing really against the Osbournes, they are a little too loud and a tad embarrassing for us Brits, but I suppose they are pretty harmless. I wish that Kelly for once would learn her lesson and calm down a bit, although I think that is unlikely as her latest gal pal is super spoilt Paris Hilton.
Hello is that the priory…

Nasty Nick

I can’t believe that Nick Lachey is claiming spousal support from Jessica Simpson in their divorce. Does he not realise that he has broken pampered princess and total bimbo Jessica’s heart, there’s no need to make things worse. At least it goes to prove that the ‘irreconcilable differences’ really were - as we all suspected - his jealousy, because there’s no way that on his own he can maintain the lifestyle he has become accustomed to, after all, without her who is he really?

So George took the Mickey – so what?!

George Clooney is standing by his remarks, about US Vice-president Dick Cheney accidentally shooting a hunting buddy. Why is it acceptable for all the US chat show hosts to have a crack, but not George? After all it was only a joke. It is pretty bad that the buddy ended up having a minor heart attack following the incident, but he’s fine now and has been discharged from hospital today. People really do need to find something more interesting to moan about, why not turn all that hot air into wishing the poor victim well, and learn to take a joke!

Adding fuel to the fire!

Really Madge, if you wanted to dispel rumours of trouble in the Richie household then ignoring your husband at the Brits is not the way to do it! Especially when you thank everyone but him, including Stuart Price – your alleged new squeeze! Somehow I don’t believe the party line – there must be trouble in paradise there! So much for the modern marriage – cave man Guy just can’t seem to cope with Madonna’s success. Simple solution Guy, don’t marry a music mega-star, bit late for I told you so’s now though, but hey there’s always divorce!

TomKat hits splitsville?

PLEASE, let it be true! The most annoying ‘relationship’ in Hollywood is being rumoured to have demised. Allegedly Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have split. To be honest they had gone very quiet, so something had to be wrong. It is well known that her parents don’t approve of her out-of-wedlock pregnancy or her mad Scientology fiancé, so it wouldn’t be a total shock. The fact that he bought a sonogram machine so that they could monitor the baby’s growth would have me running to the hills!
So it seems they will stay together in his home (in separate beds) until the little one arrives, then Holmes will depart with child to her own home nearby and they will raise the baby together. Honestly, she really did let herself get too involved in the publicity of promoting that new Batman film, Christian Bale didn’t get this carried away!

Buffalo wings Jessica?

Well, the end is really nigh for Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey, with the final ink about to dry on their divorce papers. There is no doubt in my mind that her moving in her best friend doomed her marriage, one Jessica I would find unbearable, but two would be inhumane! So with her new found singledom, she has opted for a girly valentines day – but hey we’ve all done that! Come on really, they must get back together, after all no-one else in their right mind could stand ‘are buffalo wings made of real buffalo?’ Simpson or Nick (who?!) Lachey? Newlyweds was golden TV, a real serious take on their lives (comedy drama), just think they could do the reunion season!

Diggin' Denise (Well trying to!)

I have to admit I had a little snigger when Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen's marriage hit the rocks. Did she really think that she would be the one to tame him?! Obviously, she didn't, and his wild boy roots are just too hard to get over. But now, I do feel for her, I'm sure it's difficult haing 2 daughters under 2 to care for when you're going through a divorce with their father, who you clearly hate. But she is sailing through, maintaining her diginity and being a great mum. I still find it too hard to like her too much though- she's just too good looking!

The end of the Annis-Fiennes affair

I’m really shocked and actually quite saddened by the end of Ralph Fiennes and Francesca Annis’ relationship. As surprising as it was when it began 11 long years ago, after all he was married to Alex Kingston at the time (who must be so fed up of being referenced with him, still after all these years!) they seemed to share a genuine and deep love, and I can’t believe that he cheapened it by having a sordid affair with Cornelia Crisan, which to add immense salt into the wound is only 31. Lets be honest Annis is stunning at 61, with a figure and looks that would make the average woman jealous. Really Ralph, very bad form!

What’s wrong with being a red head anyway?

I saw a picture of Alex Kingston in a magazine the other day and I am shocked! Not that I have anything against the dying of ones hair, or the straightening, but Alex just looks a bit odd. I always thought that she looked beautiful and it was disgusting when the producers at ER sacked her for being too old. When I’m on my 40’s I will be more than happy to look like her; but the blonde Marilyn Monroe look really doesn’t suit her. I’m sure that her confidence took a bit of a battering with the end of her ER career, but really Alex if you are unsure come home here to the UK, we appreciate actresses over 30, and you looked fabulous just as you were!

Poor little Roan

Sharon Stone is weird, it is a fact. After her divorce from Phil Bronstein most couples would share custody, like every other weekend or certain days during the week, but oh no, Ms Stone has to obscure, this just wouldn’t work for her, so poor Roan having spent one year with Sharon, will now spend one year with Phil.
This adopting kids thing has become the latest Hollywood fad, and not that I don’t condone it, it is good to provide homes for these abandoned children, but where are their parental skills or sanity for that? I have to admit that I have been interested in Stone’s predicament though, because she adopted second son Laird after her divorce and I wondered if Phil would be taking him on too. But it appears not, only Roan is involved in this bizarre custody agreement, it cannot be healthy!

A bit of originality please!

God bless Pink! She might be a bit weird, but at least she’s original and a tad saner than most celebrities out there. It seems that she too thinks that Britney Spears was crazy and stupid to drive like that with little Sean Preston; also interestingly enough she also doesn’t understand Brits need to have a baby so soon – as don’t I! Britney is about 3 months older than I am and I think that it is sad that even with all her success, admiration and adoration from her fans it takes having a baby with her horrid husband to make her feel secure. It’s a sad story you can see on any council estate in the UK. Simple idea really: to keep man have his baby, but it didn’t work for Shar Jackson I don’t see why anything - even as cute as Sean Preston will be able to keep this doomed twosome together. Pinks got the right idea, Brit used to be fabulous – what happened?

An afterthought…

Aah! I can’t believe that druggie scumbag Pete Doherty has got off with 12 months community service. For goodness sake he was arrested 3 times on one day! Pity he’s not a mere mortal like the rest of us, as he would in jail where he rightfully belongs, at least we’re not paying for his rent and food then I suppose!

Super-Cage Son!

Just when I thought that I had heard it all in the world of ridiculous celebrity baby names, but then along comes Nicholas Cage to trump them all! Now don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Superman fan and was very saddened upon the death of Christopher Reeve in 2004. but does that mean that I would honour my admiration of the fabulous character by naming my child after his Kryptonian name! I’m sorry, but really Kal-El, all I keep thinking is “son of Jur-El”!

Urban’s Uber Lifestyle

NO! Not again! Poor Nicole Kidman, she deserves so much better. After 10 years suffering (in dull flat shoes) with the oh so delightful (and mildly psychotic) Tom Cruise, she’s now ended her engagement to Keith Urban. As ever, the wonderfully sensible woman, finished it due to his excessive partying, well, she does have 2 children to consider. Although they maintain a relationship, there will be no wedding bells until he cleans up his act. Good for her!

Baby love Britney!

Britney, Britney, Britney! Will you never learn? Now to top of the usual weird rumours about her, she is seen driving without a seat belt, holding baby Sean. Really love, you say that you were avoiding the paparazzi, and I know that you love your son, but really use your brain, you could so easily have crashed, and then what? If you want the paps to stop following you then try being a bit more boring, I know that it is hard, but for the rest of us mere mortals it comes quite naturally!

Trouble and strife under the Richie roof?

So it seems all is not well in the home of megastars Guy and Madge. On this there seems to be two possible reasons:-

the growing relationship between Madonna and close friend and producer of her new album (confessions of a dance floor) Stuart Price – who is of course only 28.

And the more likely reason

Madonna’s recent excessive work load.

As everyone knows, there probably isn’t any female artist on the planet who has worked harder to achieve superstardom, and Madonna has by far out achieved any female artist of her generation, so why does she have this incessant need to continue to push and outdo herself? Really Mrs R, chill out, take some time at home, enjoy your kids, of everyone out there, you’ve earnt it!

Moss - the role model!!

Poor cocaine Kate, who flew in to be questioned by police she should have been extradited, although with her continually moving around the world, how could authorities find her? It’s so annoying that celebrities can manage to behave irresponsibly and pay their way out of it, what about her child? To be honest I’m put off Rimmel now, as I don’t really want to put stuff up her nose. It was always obvious that she was doing it, all you had to do was look at her, but ignorance is bliss! I can’t believe that she managed to not get arrested or charged with anything, it’s an embarrassment to our legal system! Apparently prosecutors are deciding whether to file charges, that is if they can manage to find her, as she immediately boarded a plane to Miami, Florida. Unfortunately, for us lowly proles, if we were in a similar situation, our passports would have been confiscated and our butts would be in jail! God bless celebrities, buy your way out of problems, buy yourselves immunity.
Just think of the mayhem I could create if I found a rich man….

Thin is so not in!

Yet again we hear stories about fears that poor little Nicole Richie, I’m sure that it was hard being the best friend of ultra thin Paris Hilton, and replacing her with uber thin Mischa Barton, but still she must get over it or she’ll look like a head on a pin. Please Nicole, don’t live by Posh’s mantra: when I’m thin I’m in!

Dumping Dame Dench!!

What are US talk shows thinking of snubbing our Dame Judi? She may not be 25 anymore, but to us she’s a national treasure, and they themselves can see her amazing talent by gracing her with another Oscar nomination, her fifth!
For 71 she’s looking amazing, but now she’s over 70 it seems that youth obsessed America can’t take her anymore, what is the world coming to?!

Ryan & Reese – The Modern Marriage

Understated glamour, yet normalism is the beauty of this Witherspoon/Phillipe marriage. She, the obvious breadwinner in the family, with Ryan happy to take a backseat with Ava 6 and Deacon 2, not forgetting of course, bulldogs Frank Sinatra and Coco Chanel. Although adding to the modernisation of this 21st century is the shift in roles when necessary. When Ryan does work, Reese is happy to be the stay at home mum for a few months. But now with the possibility of an Oscar looming, it is great to see a strong and successful woman able to maintain a happy marriage and home life, whilst having a fabulous career, keep going Reese – can’t wait to see Penelope!
