Real Housewives of Orange County December 11th Preview
December 11th’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County airs at 10PM. In tomorrow’s episode, Jeana’s sons bond over baseball, Lauri searches for the perfect wedding dress and ponders who should be the bridesmaid in this wedding and a new Housewife is reveled.
What is up with Nicole Kidman’s career these days? She can’t seem to beg, borrow or steal a decent movie to star in no matter how hard she tries.
Her latest on-screen venture, “The Golden Compass,” has been declared a serious box office flop. Her other recent flicks - ”The Invasion”, “Betwitched,” “Birth” and “The Stepford Wives” - didn’t fare much better among movie goers.
Did ex-husband, Tom Cruise, put some kind of weird Scientology hex on Nicole after their divorce in 2001?
Her only major screen credits since their split are ”Moulin Rouge”, “The Hours” and “Cold Mountain.” Anything she’s done since has been a huge box office disapointment.
Word is that she’s passing on a lot of scripts so that she can apparently waste away into nothingness while standing in the shadow of her current husband, Keith Urban, as he undertakes his Love, Pain And The Whole Crazy World tour.
Nicole’s been quoted as saying, “No red carpet, no pressure for me. I’m not doing a show. I’m just there as a wife and I take some photographs.”
What a nice politically-correct statement for an Academy Award winning actress to make when she’s been dubbed box office poison from here to Australia.
Chosen as the face to promote PETA’s (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) winter anti-fur campaign, Eva recently posed nude with the caption for the campaign to read, “Fur? I’d rather go naked.”
Sure enough, that’s what she did. She went completely naked.
There isn’t one speckle of cellulite on her bottom or her thighs. Not a single flaw on her seemingly unnatural, android-like body.
Chances are the pics of her posing in the raw were air brushed to death after that photo shoot. Or she slathered on so much expensive, high-intensity body lotion that it filled in all the crooks and crannies when she posed. Or the camera just plain fogged up so bad due to the high humidity in the studio that she turned out looking absolutely fan-fricking-tastic for the proofs.
I say, let’s see her turn ten somersaults in a row with a pregnant rabbit or perform Swan Lake in the nude with a grizzly bear. That might make everybody swear off fur forever. Ya think?
I used to think that Brad Pitt was a lot like a low-cal lemon chiffon pie - all fluff and very little substance.
Good looking? Sure. Capable actor? Definitely. Humanitarian? Um, not so much.
I’ve since changed my mind after learning he’s responsible for spearheading the Make It Right campaign in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward where he’s actively helping to rebuild homes devastated by Hurricane Katrina. He’s so committed to getting these homes rebuilt that he’s put up five million dollars of his own money for the reconstruction.
Five million dollars.
That’s a lot of Missouri beef stew shelled out by a guy the tabloids enjoy portraying as a rather shallow Hollywood hunk who traded in his four-year, ho-hum marriage to Jennifer Aniston for sexy, sultry movie siren Angelina Jolie when they made “Mr and Mrs Smith” together in 2005. He adopted her adopted children and she gave birth to their own biological love child in 2006.
Here’s a guy who is not only considered to be one of the hottest actors in Hollywood making a bundle with every movie he stars in, but he actually stepped up to the plate to do something that matters.
Who knows, maybe his efforts helping to rebuilt New Orleans will inspire other big names out there to pony up and do what they can to make this world a better place for everybody.
It isn’t bad enough that Paul is in the process of being taken to the cleaners by his second wife, Heather Mills. His first wife, Linda Eastman, died of cancer in April, 1998.
Now he’s reportedly dating Roseanna Arquette, the three times-divorced-sister of David Arquette married to Courtney Cox of “Friends” fame.
What is with this guy? Does he like being shark bait when it comes to women out to sink their teeth into a juicy mealticket or is it that he just can’t resist getting himself ensnared in another romantic melodrama to keep his name in the press?
Word is that he’s introduced Rosanna to his daughter, Beatrice. Rosanna and Paul are considered to be an item since last August. We’ll see how long this lasts.
Hopefully he won’t say “I do” until he takes enough time to realize he’s far better off saying “I don’t” as he simply enjoys dippin’ every now and then in the sugar.
BBC TV STRICTLY COME DANCING star Matt Di Angelo has been inundated with letters offering him dates.
“I got sent pants, chocolates and shot glass - that was a bit strange. I was thinking: ‘So they want to get me drink, feed me chocolates..”
Matt also confesses he fancies his dance partner Flavia. He tells Closer magazine:”She’s stunning. But she’s totally out of my league. The same with Alesha Dixon, she’s gorgeous but there’s nothing going on - I wish!!” He also claims he’s lost a stone since the show started.
Fellow contestant, Gethin Jones admits he has had fan letters from men as well as women wanting dates. “And one guy asked me my dirty socks, which is a bit freaky. I get recognised all the time now. I was in Waterloo Station the other day and this woman came right up to me and shouted in my face: Gethin! I was like ‘What?’”
He adds:
“It’s impossible not to fancy your partner a little bit when you spend so much time together. Camilla is absolutely gorgeous and we’ve got on so well, so we’re like best friends now. My mates all fancy her too, though. They phone up to tell me which outfit they like her best in!”
SELF STYLED agony aunt Sharon Osbourne has given troubled Britney Spears the benefit of her advice.
Sharon Osbourne tells heat magazine:
“I feel really bad for Britney. She needs to get out of LA and spend some precious time with her family. I feel like, in 12 or 18 months time, she could come back and be the Britney we all knew and loved. She needs to draw an end to this chapter in her life and get out of the limelight for a while.”
Listed below are range of tried and tested hangover cures by celebrities:
Kylie Minogue: Favourite hangover cure – “It has to be egg sandwiches. I love them.”
Dannii Minogue: “My perfect hangover cure is putting a scraping of vegemite and grated cheese on toast and then grilling it”
Cameron Diaz: “Grease is the only cure for a hangover”
Kirsty Gallagher: “If I do get a hangover I drink loads of water and eat every hour. I also take a vitamin B supplement called Berocca.”
Kerry Katona: “My way of beating a hangover is simple: you can’t beat good greasy fat chips with loads of salt and vinegar”
Nigella Lawson: Hangover cure is the “Prairie Oyster” which consists of an egg yolk, tabasco, worcester sauce, brandy and vinegar - you have to swallow it down in one gulp.
Marco Pierre White: “I have a late night curry after a few pints to protect against getting a terrible hangover the next day”
Dermot O’Leary: “My hangovers get worse the older I get, so the only way to get over a hangover is to stay horizontal the next day”.
Will Mellor: “Take a two-litre bottle of water to bed with you and sip it throughout the night.”
Musician Moby: “My hangover cure is pretty complicated. Before going to sleep, I have a Tofurky, mustard and cucumber sandwich and a glass of carrot-orange juice. In the morning I have a special juice made from bananas, ginger, carrots, oranges with spiralina and cayenne pepper”.
Britain’s Got Talent winner Paul Potts has spent most of his life feeling ‘insignificant’. Bullied at school for being ‘different’, he realised growing up that he had one true friend and that was his voice.
Now the World Is His Stage - and you can hear that amazing voice:

Ricky Gervais, Diana Memorial Concert and Elton John
Ricky Gervais has defended his performance at the Diana Memorial concert where he came under attack as he filled in for the delayed appearance of Elton John’s finale.
“It’s gone into myth and legend that the crowd hated it and booed me. But they didn’t.
“Obviously I was kept waiting at the end and had to fill in but these things happen. People were writing afterwards that it was the end of my career, as if those five minutes were the most important thing I’d ever done,” Gervais told heat magazine.
“Unbelievable. It’s coming out on DVD so people can see what really happened - it’s fine. You know, all comedians can have a bad five minutes and it wasn’t like I was actually doing my act.. I was introducing someone and then had to fill when there was a delay.
“I felt I couldn’t just use some of my material because I was in the middle of a tour - I didn’t want people to go ‘Oh, he did that on TV last week’.”
The Extras comic also revealed that he was not aware that his co-writer Stephen Merchant planned to wait in the same way while accepting an award from Elton John at the GQ awards.
“Incredible. I didn’t know he was going to do that and apparently it didn’t go down well either. He was telling me how seriously they all take it. “
He said, although he did not attend the event, he understood that Elton John didn’t think it was ‘that funny.’
Celebrity hairdresser Ben Cooke has revealed that Victoria Beckham used to tie her hair extensions back with a G string!
“When she had her extensions she used to tie her hair back with a G string because she always lost her hair bands. They were always clean though!” he tells Closer magazine. “She’ll never go back to having hair extensions. I think she feels liberated to be rid of them at last.” He said that, in private Victoria is happy to relax in non-designer gear. “She loves her furry slippers and shuffling around in pyjamas all say. She probably has more slouchy home wear than she does posh dresses!”
ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST JENNIFER HUDSON TO PERFORM
AT THE SETAI “BEYOND PARADISE” NEW YEAR’S EVE CELEBRATION
South Beach Resort To Host Two Parties Simultaneously:
The Lagoon Dinner Dance and The Beyond Paradise Late-Night Party
THE SETAI, the luxurious Asian-inspired resort in the heart of South Beach, has announced that the Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning artist Jennifer Hudson will be the featured musical performer for the resort’s opulent New Year’s Eve extravaganza, Beyond Paradise.
Following the popularity of last year’s event, THE SETAI 2008 New Year’s celebration will be the zenith for connoisseurs of contemporary culture and rarified taste. Beyond Paradise is being produced by New York-based event designer Michael Stern, acclaimed for his high-end, cutting-edge events. Stern has created a jungle-themed design concept that will incorporate a gourmet menu and unique celebrity entertainment to provide the ultimate entertainment options for the discerning international jet-setter and discriminating South Florida resident alike.
The evening’s festivities will commence at 7:45 p.m. with The Lagoon Dinner Dance and Paradise Cocktail Hour, held in the Paradise Courtyard and Lobby. Guests will step onto a red carpet, leading them through a palm-tree-lined promenade. A signature PeaCock-Tail welcome drink will be offered by themed hostesses, who will direct guests to the Paradise Cocktail Courtyard adorned with projected images and candlelit sofa seating. Sensual lounge music will fill the air, while dancers dressed in exquisite peacock tail bustles and feathered masks embellish the ambience.
Guests will dine poolside while served a sumptuous five-course dinner prepared by THE SETAI’S acclaimed Executive Chef Jonathan Wright, which will include Crispy Peking Duck Salad, Ostera Caviar and Scrambled Eggs, Miso Caramelized Black Cod, Steamed Langoustine Har Gau, and Roasted Wagyu Tenderloin with Maine Lobster Ravioli and Baby Turnips, finishing with a delightful array of desserts that include Croustillant of Dark Chocolate, Mango and Ginger Pâté de Fruit and Rosewater Turkish Delight.
Starting at 9:15 p.m., ticketholders to The Lagoon Dinner Dance will be led through an Asian candlelit tunnel to decorated VIP booths transformed into “undulating aquariums.” Harem dancers will entertain while soft tribal drumming fills the air. Five hundred guests will be invited to dance atop the Robinson Crusoe-like performance stages to the sounds of Cuban beats, Latin America salsa and romantic 1940s favorites. At 11:45 p.m., The Lagoon Dinner Dance Countdown to midnight will commence with a live performance by Jennifer Hudson, who will perform songs from the hit movie “Dreamgirls,” including the number-one track “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” in front of an A-list and VIP audience. At 1 a.m., this portion of the party moves into the late-night soiree.
Starting at 10:00 p.m., ticketholders to The Beyond Paradise Party will be welcomed to a seductive, scarlet-washed nightclub filling three areas of the property: The Halle, Courtyard and Red Parrot Bar and Lounge. Guests will be offered a PeaCock-Tail and enjoy an open bar or table service. This ultra-VIP party, set in a jungle-themed setting, will feature live performances by caged “bird” dancers and a Zen-like DJ. For The Beyond Paradise Party Countdown, diva dance queen and musical artist Wunmi will dominate the courtyard with her supernatural prowess, as she rings in the New Year with an Afro–fusion musical and dance performance complete with a four-piece orchestra. Shortly after, the beats of club queen DJ Sky Nellor will fill the air with love, lust and high-energy until 3:00 a.m.
All-inclusive tickets for The Lagoon Dinner Dance and The Beyond Paradise Party are $1,000 per person, including tax and service charge. Tables for The Beyond Paradise Party range from $1,500 (table of two) up to $60,000 for a private party room. General admission tickets for The Beyond Paradise Party are $500 per person. Tickets can be purchased by calling Philipp Estermann at 305.520.6262, faxing 305.520.6268 or emailing setainewyears@ghmamericas.com. Additional details can be found at www.setai.com
You know you’re a hot mama (no pun intended) when you can be 8 months pregnant and STILL look picturesque, glamorous, and well..really hot! Maxim.com has put together a list of the “9 Hottest Pregnant Women, Ever” in an attempt to pay tribute to the select few Hollywood female superstars who can walk down the red carpet with a bun in the oven and still turn heads with their beauty. From Heidi Klum to Halle Berry, here are Maxim.com’s list of 9 Hottest Pregnant Women
Christina Aguilera Baby daddy: Husband Jordan Bratman
She probably won´t be getting dirty in any boxing rings for a while, but Christina hasn´t resorted to a housecoat and slippers, either. Plus, there´s a good chance her doctor has told her to take out her piercings because of the bun in her oven, which is a plus for guys that aren´t into body mods.
The list also includes: Monica Bellucci, Halle Berry, Jaime Pressly, Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum
Charlize doesn’t like being in the public eye at all.
Crazy, isn’t it, that it’s in the public eye where she makes her living. Not to mention a mountain of cold, hard cash that flows her way whenever she makes a movie or receives royalty checks for the movies she’s already made when they’re played over the airwaves.
She recently spoke out about her fame, saying, “I don’t like celebrity. I don’t like this whole culture that we’re living in now, and I don’t like this casual attitude that if you decide to be an actor then your life is up for grabs. It’s just not nice to go and get your groceries and have seven cars following you. I think I am becoming a little bit more closed off because of it.”
Aww, poor thing.
She obviously doesn’t realize that because she has celebrity attached to her name, the ones who gave it to her are all the little people who love to pick up those magazines and tabloids. The ones who buy expensive movie tickets to see her on the big screen. The ones who buy those DVDs with her name on them in the stores.
If she dislikes her own celebrity so much, I say, get off the red carpet, Charlize, and take a job at Walmart. Run the register at Blockbuster. Heck, stand behind the counter at the Department of Motor Vehicles.We will forget about you and you won’t have to worry about those millions rolling into your bank account any longer.
