Robbed!

Amy Winehouse is not having a good week. Amidst reports that her hubby Blake is filing for divorce from the junkie singer, her London flat has been burglarized. The 25-year old crooner has been on an extended vacation in St. Lucia, where she has even taken up with a new man. But while she was relaxing in the sun, robbers made off with her goods. Amy is upset, of course, her rep said. But from her point of view, her favorite guitar is with her in St. Lucia. Silver lining, Amy! Continue…

Oh Really?

Paris Hilton wants everyone to know she’s not dumb. The Heir-head says that even though she’s been pegged as a dumb blonde, she acts dumb on TV to get laughs, while in life she’s a strong person who’s been through a lot. P admits that she cultivated her blond bimbo image while filming The Simple Life with (EX?) BFF Nicole Richie. For 5 seasons, I was stuck doing this character. She adds, “I just say jokes but they think I’m serious, which I think is funny, and I think I kind of play up the image sometimes because whatever ­ it’s just entertainment.” Too bad Paris doesn’t realize the joke is really on her!

Weight-y Issues

Leave Jessica Simpson alone! At least, that’s what her baby sister is asking. On her own personal blog, the new mommy hit back at critics of her BIG sis, who was photographed looking plumper than ever at the 99.9 Country Radio event in Pembroke Pines, Florida last weekend. I am completely disgusted by the headlines concerning my sister’s weight, Ashlee, who dropped all of her post-baby weight within weeks of giving birth, lamented. I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman’s weight or figure as a headline on Fox News. Ashlee went on to say that even though Jess is definitely a lot heavier than she was a few months ago, women come in different shapes, sizes, and forms and just because you’re a celebrity, there shouldn’t be a different standard. This from a girl who barely eats. Whatevs. Continue…

Can You Say Awkward?

Oscar night may be really sticky for three attendees. That’s because reports are claiming that Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt will ALL be attending the awards show in LA on February 22. Brad and Angie are both nominated for statues, while Brad’s ex, who’s next film He’s Just Not That Into You is premiering on Feb. 6, is set to be a presenter at the gala. And sources add that the tension might actually help boost ratings. “Less and less people have been watching but if theres a possibility of a run-in, Im
sure many more will tune in.” Drama! 

On Again

Madonna and ARod just cant give it up. The pop singer and baseball star were dating for months after they both ended their marriages (with some reports even claiming that their romance caused them both to dump their spouses) but cooled things off over the past few weeks. But it looks like the spark is back! The duo was seen hanging out at pal Jerry Seinfeld’s Hamptons estate recently. And sources who know them both say that the brief split was all for show. They stayed apart because the media attention was too much. They both have kids and didn’t want it getting ugly. But now they are back on and its heating up fast! Continue…

I was going to write an article commenting on the Paris couture shows this week, but after Monday’s massive layoffs, I’m just not in the mood. While on the phone with a recently unemployed friend, my friend was lamenting on what in the world she would do without the structure of corporate America. Well friend, this is the time to take some time to work from home, do some yoga and find bits of luxury here and there. For the latter advice, Lady M Cake Boutique on the Upper East Side is the perfect reprieve from depressing days. Continue…

How Far The Mighty Have Fallen

Long gone are the days when Jessica Simpson could sell out a hot NYC venue with rabid fans. Now the buxom blond has been relegated to performing local events, this time, the 99.9 KISS Country Chili Cookoff in Florida. Miss Simpson, who has been trying to break into the country music world, was a singer at the yearly event ­ but she was even the headliner! Plus, sources say that the older Simpson sister was looking much plumper than normal. Maybe she ate too much chili? Continue…

Getting Clean

Kelly Osborne is back in rehab. The 24-year old reality TV star is locked up for the nxt 30 days, hr mother Sharon revealed. “Yeah, Kelly’s in rehab,” Sharon confirmed. “What else can we say? She knew that it was the right thing to do at this point and we’re proud that she did it. The family is all standing behind her. Kelly knew that she needed help and she’s getting it.” And while Sharon wouldn’t say where her youngest daughter was drying out, Star Magazine reports that she is at the Hazelden Alcohol and Drug rehab center in Newberg, Oregon. Friends are shocked, especially since Kelly had been doing so well since her last rehab stint, engaged and working on her brother Jack’s new show Osbournes Reloaded. “This is one of the absolute worst things that a parent can face, for their child to go through rehab. Sharon continued. And not once, but twice. However, we are all very glad Kelly’s doing it.” Continue…

More Bad News

Not only is John Travolta dealing with the sudden death of his son Jett from a seizure earlier this month, but now the Saturday Night Fever actor is also being extorted! Sources say that an extortion plot has been hatched in the Bahamas against the actor, who came under fire after Jett’s death for allegedly hiding his son’s autism, with the culprits demanding $20 million from John in exchange for not releasing the true details of Jett’s demise. Many questions have been raised about the actual cause of death but many found it too tacky to quiz the grieving actor about it. But now, it seems that some shady details may finally come to light. Stay tuned. 

Go Girl

Jennifer Hudson is ready. The Dreamgirls star is planning to go public again, just months after the gruesome murder of her mother, brother and nephew allegedly at the hands of her brother-in-law, William Balfour. And while Balfour has pleaded not guilty to the charges, Jennifer is ready to step back into the public eye with two very high-profile performances. First, the singer will deliver the National Anthem at the Super Bowl in Tampa on Feb. 1 before belting out tunes at the Grammy Awards 5 days later. These will be her first times back on stage since the murders. So much has happened but shes ready, a source reveals. It’s a new year. She’s excited about performing again. She knew it was time.
