Breaking Entertainment News

Nick Hogan Mugshot

Nick Hogan is suing the jail where he is housed because he believes he should not be held in solitary confinement (according to him). You may have heard that sometime last week Nick was complaining to his parents about how he does not get to do the things he wants to do. Uh you're in jail dude!! Nick complained about not having a window in his cell, his room being too small, not being able to play cards etc.

Nick Hogan's wrecked car.

On Tuesday a judge denied Nick's request to be released from jail and placed on house arrest until the age of 18. He is serving an 8 month sentence remind you. O.k now it's time for me to vent! This is definitely a case of a spoiled Hollywood BRAT! I mean are you serious? Dude, you almost killed someone and you left him in a coma. He will never be the same again (will always be disabled). And you have the gaul to complain about not being able to "play cards?" I can go on, and on, but I'll stop there. His parents are the ones to be blamed for his ignorance of the whole situation. How do you guys feel about this? Should Nick be released or should he serve out his sentence?

Another Hollywood Arrest

Tatum O'Neil

Former child movie star Tatum O'Neil was arrested this past Sunday for buying cocaine, People Magazine reports. You may recall, Tatum won an Oscar for her role in Paper Moon. The former actress spent the night in jail and was charged with possession of a controlled substance. O'Neil tried to stop the cops by asking the detectives if they could just "forget about this". Uh Yea right Tatum!

So Pete and Ashlee recently confirmed  all the speculation that Ashlee was pregnant. The couple released this statement: "While many have speculated about this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child." Ashlee's sister Jessica Simpson commented on her sister's pregnancy by telling People Magazine: "She'll be amazing, absolutely amazing," Awww, how cute.

Hey guys...lot's and lot's of gossip to report. Let's get to it shall we!

Breaking News

Orlando Brown

People Magazie is reporting that Disney Channel and That's So Raven star, Orlando Brown has been missing since early Tuesday morning. It is being reported that the actor left his manager's house at around 10:20 a.m to go to the local 7-Eleven, and has not been seen since. Oh My! His family and manager are asking anyone to contact Elayne Rivers at TLToonz@aol.com if they have any information regarding his whereabouts. I hope they find him...I will update this as it develops....

Hollywood Celebrity Weddings

Beyonce & Jay Z.

It's officially, official, yet the happy couple hasn't made it official yet..confused? Well I'm talking about the ever so secretive Beyonce and Jay Z.  The town clerk of Scarsdale Town Hall has confirmed that Jay and Beyonce are in fact married. He has their signed marriage license to prove it. Now if only they would come out with some details.

Tia Mowry.

Sister Sister star Tia Mowry got married this past Sunday to actor Cory Hardrict (Can't say I've ever heard of him before) at the Four Seasons Resort the Baltimore Santa Barbara. Yay!

Star Jones & Al Reynolds.

O.k so this isn't happy wedding news, but guess what former "View" co-host/t.v entertainment news star has filed for divorce from their husband of almost 4 years?? It's not Rosie (sorry I had to go there!) Star Jones has filed for divorce from her husband Al Reynolds, saying: "Several years ago I made an error in judgment by inviting the media into the most intimate area of my life. A month ago I filed for divorce. The dissolution of a marriage is a difficult time in anyone's life that requires privacy with one's thoughts." And continuing:
"I have committed myself to handling this situation with dignity and grace and look forward to emerging from this period as a stronger and wiser woman." Sucks for her.

Kanye & Alexis.

And in more non celebrity wedding news, Kanye West has apparently broken off his engagement to Alexis Phifer. Here's what she said: "It's been hard and not been an easy time. I tried to keep things private but yes, it's sad when things end like this and we truly do remain friends. I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met, that's for sure."

Movie Star News


Jackie Chan Wax.

What famous movie star has his won was figure? It's Jackie Chan!!! TMZ is reporting that the kung-fu legend got his owned wax statue that was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in New York on Tuesday. The statue looks a little too waxy to me.

Hollywood Entertainment News

Miley Cyrus.Miley Cyrus.

How many of you out there are Hanna Montana/Miley Cyrus fans? I know my 4 year old daughter loves her. Well it seems as though a few compromising photos of the child movie star has made their way onto the internet. I know that she is 15, and teenagers do "play around", but I'm thinking she needs to be a little more careful on what kinds of photos she takes. Even though the photos have surfaced, no comment has been made by Miley or her management team, and it's business as usual. Besides being a mini mogul, Miley is going to be one of the latest Hollywood actresses to pen her own autobiography. O.k she's 15, what exactly is she going to write about? Chapter one: how not to take "adult" type photos and have them posted on the internet. Hopefully there won't be anymore photos.

Until next time guys...

Sup guys, here's the low-down on your favorite celebs....Enjoy!!

More Britney news to report..she's gonna be on t.v y'all! Yes you heard me right, t.v. Just like her kid sister, TMZ is reporting that the Britster will be doing a guess starring role on the t.v show "How I Met Your Mother". Interesting...

So MTV is going to have a new reality show called Rock the Cradle. It's basically another American Idol type show.  Instead of having regular folks like ourselves battle it out for the top spot, get this, they are having the children of celebrities such as Bobby Brown, Olivia Newton-John, and MC Hammer compete against each other to see who's the best singer. This is going to be hilarious!

And speaking of hilarious, Brooke Hogan is going to have her own t.v show...enough said.

T.V Entertainment News

Brad Renfro

There's a lot of buzz surrounding last Sunday's Oscar's and it's not good. The folks who produced the Oscars are getting a lot of things said about them for not having Brad Renfro as part of their memoriam. A spokesperson for the award show said this, “It was really an editing decision because we can’t fit everyone in. There was no specific reason.” That's a shame! As you may or may not know, the actor died of an heroine overdose. O.K so they really didn't have time to fit him in? yea right.  They probably didn't want to taint their squeaky clean reputation by naming someone who was a user of illegal drugs (everyone makes mistakes). I mean really would it have killed them to include him? It's not like that many people watched anyway!  So other than snubbing Brad Renfro, the big shots at the Oscars  also snubbed Whoopi  Goldberg by forgetting to add her to their Oscar-host clip reel. DOH!

Chris Carmack.
In other news, Perez Hilton is reporting that Desperate Housewives will be adding a new member to its cast by the name of Chris Carmack (formerly of the O.C)







Child Movie Stars

Dakota Fanning

Do you know who this is? I'll give you a hint...she's acted alongside Tom Cruise, Robert Dinero and  Sean Penn..Yup you guessed it, it's 14 year old Dakota Fanning all grown up.

Movie Star News

Matt Damon

Matt Damon has signed on to do another installment of his hit Bourne movies, Perez Reports.

Britney Spears


People is reporting that Britney got another visit from her son's on Monday. The kids were taken to Britney's, and stayed with her for three hours.  That just warms your heart doesn't it? Let's just hope she continues to get the help she needs. In other Spears news..Jamie Lynn has a new reason to celebrate other than the upcoming birth of her child. She gotted (Yes I'm bad for making fun of the way Jamie Lynn might spell this word) her GED y'all! Whoo Hoo!
At least she's trying to keep her life together.


Until next time Y'all!

Hey guys, hope you all had a romantical Valentines Day! I had a great day...My girls and I decided to surprise their dad and cook dinner for him (I did most of the work though). But it was so much fun! Now on to the gossip.

Celebrity Weddings

Liam Gallager and Nicole Appleton

What would Valentines Day be without a wedding? Maybe like Britney Spears without a messed up weave..just un-natural! (I'm Kidding) Anyway, People magazine is reporting that Oasis member Liam Gallagher married his long time girlfriend Nicole Appleton of the girl group "All Saints" in a secret wedding in the UK.

Hollywood Baby news

Christina Aguilera

Hollywood Entertainment News

Bai Ling

Bia Ling was arrested on Wednesday at Los Angeles International Airport for stealing $16 worth of stuff at a store there. WHAT? I mean yea you're on the z-list, but could you not afford $16 bucks? She allegedly stole a couple celebrity magazines and some batteries..HA! She basically told E! News that she stole stuff because she was dealing with an emotional break-up..uh sure.

Britney Spears

O.k so since Britney decided to be sane for a while (and we are all thankful), there hasn't been much to talk about..I did say not much..there's still a few rumblings coming out from planet Britney. On Valentines Day,  Britney's older brother was named as one of the trustees on Brits trust (try to say that 10 times fast). Basically, if something happens to her, Britney's trusts are able to make decisions about her estate (good idea). Also, Britney's mom Lynn left on a plane back to Kentwood leaving her with her dad and brother. Why did Lynn leave you ask? well don't forget that there is a 16 year old pregnant Jamie Lynn still left to look after. Ahh..the Spears family, oh how we love them.

Back with more later guys...

So what's the 411 in the celebrity world this week? Lets get to it shall we..

Breaking Entertainment News

 
Barron Hilton Mugshot

Barron Hilton was arrested late Tuesday for DUI, TMZ reports. Yes, you heard right! The younger (18 yr old) brother of Paris was arrested on suspicion of Drunk Driving. He was released at 5:50 p.m PT on . His bail was set at $20,000. Um..o.k I have to put my two cents in on this one...what is up with these stars and the DUI's, and the rehabs? I mean are they really that unhappy with their lives that they always have to screw it up? I know money does not make everything, and I know that they are "normal" people, but if you have the resources to get help..DO IT! don't wait until you get busted a million times in order for you or your family to realize you have a problem.

Hollyweird Celebrity Weddings

Gary Coleman

I'll be back with more later y'all!

Sad News to Report:
Movie Poster.
Former child actor, Brad Renfro has died.  TMZ is reporting that the 25 year old actor was found dead in his Los Angeles home.  He was known to have drug issues. Renfroe is best known for his break out role in the movie "The Client", and he just wrapped "The Informers", with Billy Bob Thornton and Winona Ryder.

So Britney Spears has been on the mind of everyone everywhere lately. Whether she's on the news for her trips to Starbucks or unpredictable behavior, love it or hate it, just about everyone knows a little something about her.  But do we really know everything? Even though we see her very public breakdowns on just about every tabloid and breaking news channel. How much do they really tell us about what she's going through.

Britney The Early Years:

Britney Spears
Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2, 1981 in Kentwood Louisiana. From a young age, Britney was destined to be a star.

Mickey mouse Club Cast.Her claim to fame was her role in the Mickey Mouse Club alongside fellow Mousekateers and future stars Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilara. In 1999, Britney then released her first album, that skyrocketed up the charts and remained number one for a few weeks. After that, she had no where to go but up.  Her career flourished.

Britney the wife and mother:

After her career got off the ground, we started to see Britney as she grew into a woman. Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.She had a normal relationship with Justin Timberlake for a number of years.  This is where she seemed to be the happiest. But after the break-up Justin, she seemed to go a different route.
Is this where signs of mental illness started to appear? In 2004 she married her childhood friend Jason Alexander and the marriage was annulled after only a few hours. Britney's wild ways soon began to show.


Britney and KevinIn October 2004, she then married backup dancer Kevin Federline. Her marriage became a source of entertainment for the media. After having her children, her parenting skills were put under scrutiny due to her lack of good judgment.
After their divorce in July 2007, Britney's world seemed to unravel. She's had so many "crazy" moments, that one might think she should have been place in a mental institution a long time ago.


Mental Illness:

So what makes a person act as strangely as Britney Spears? There are a number of factors that contribute to certain behaviors. It is being speculated that the star is battling with postpartum depression and has a bipolar disorder.

Let's talk about the postpartum depression first. As a parent of two beautiful little girls myself, I once suffered for this after I had my second daughter. SadnessPostpartum depression comes from nowhere. It hits you like a ton of bricks (at least in my case that's how it happened).  I remember after being home with the baby from the hospital for a few days and just feeling so sad, for no apparent reason. This was a time where you should enjoy your baby, but for me I was so unhappy and overwhelmed with the situation.  There were days I couldn't even get out of bed, I cried all the time and just didn't feel like I was the same person anymore. My husband didn't understand the way I was feeling either, and that didn't help. The only person who knew something was wrong was my mother, who encouraged me to talk to a doctor.  After taking her advice, I talked to my doctor and was diagnosed and treated. For Britney Spears I can see how this might have been something she had to deal with, and being in the public eye didn't help either. When you're depressed, it doesn't help having ANYONE make fun of you or put you down.
It just makes you go into more of a self-hating downward spiral. Most of the time all we would hear on the news about Britney was how much of a bad mother she was, and how she should not have children.  I know if I was hearing that while I was going through what I went through, it would have made the depression I was experiencing even worse.

AngerThe next thing that Britney is said to be suffering with is some sort of bipolar disorder. From what I can tell, she's definitely showing some signs of something like that. She's had episodes where she has seemed to gone off the deep end.  The head shaving incident shocked us all, and recently, the standoff at her home that made the breaking news. I feel so sorry for this woman. It seems as though she has no one to help her.  And her behavior has not helped her to get any sort of help either.

So What Can Be Done?


Many people suggest that she go to rehab and I agree. She needs urgent help, but I feel as though she can't truly get this help if the media does not stop feeding into a part of her illness.  Britney seems to be seeking the attention from the media, and she gets it everyday. She seems to thrive on the ATTENTION that she gets. I mean who really needs to go to every single gas station in town?
Her only friends right now are the same people that are making money off of her "crazy" moments by taking photos of her. In my opinion, I think that if she stops getting this sort of attention 24/7 she may start to see how much she needs help.
Just a thought. These people need to stop making her think that she's o.k and that she's still a top celebrity like she used to be. Yea she's still famous, but for all the wrong reasons.  Let's hope that she will soon get help. Because as a mother, I shudder to think that those two little boys would have to grow up without one.

In todays entertainment world, all we hear are names like Britney spears, Paris Hilton, Jessica Alba, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Brangelina, the list can go on and on.  These are the names of stars whose's names seem to be everywhere. These celebrities have been the latest Hollywood buzz and the top breaking news of the day . They've had their names splashed all over the Tabloids, T.V, and Famous Internet Blogs.

Paris Hilton

These top celebrities are famous just for being famous. They are the source of entertainment for the public, as well as a lucrative investment for the paparazzi. A juicy photo of one of today's hottest Hollywood couples can earn a photographer thousands.  Likewise, a photo of the latest Hollywood actress doing something out of the ordinary could sky rocket a magazine's popularity as soon as it hits the shelves. Any news coming out of Hollywood these days is an opportunity for making money. 


HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW

Amy WinehouseCelebrity news coverage seemed to hit a maximum in 2007. There were DUI's, pregnancies, famous weddings, numerous fashion and fragrance lines started by just about every top rated movie star out there.  Celebrities even made headlines in 2007 for their hairstyles and fashion.Bad Weave Britney Spears made the word weave popular by wearing a badly done example of one on her head.  British singer Amy Winehouse also became a household name because of her outrageous hairstyle and those ridiculous ballet slippers she seemed to wear EVERYWHERE.  Her photo's were plasterded all over the latest tabloids with headlines that eluded to her horrible fashion sense and just when was she going to go to rehab?

So is this the price to pay for being a celebrity? How can a famous movie star or celebrity hold on to some sense of privacy in their lives and still be famous?
Lets talk about stars like Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, Sean Penn, and Jennifer Connelly for instance, who we all know but are almost out of the puplic eye completely.  These stars try to live their lives as normal as they possibly can. They use thier resources to shield themselves and their families from the glare of the media and keep their names out of the latesr t.v entertainment headlines.


GILLIGAN'S ISLAND MAYBE?

Gilligan had his own island that was away from civilization, so why not today's celebs?
Private Island
Johnny Depp
For many stars, a move out of the country is one way to get "some" privacy. Johnny Depp for example owns his own Private Island in the Bahamas called Little Halls Pond Cay. Some
other stars that have private islands of their own are: Mel Gibson, Nicholas Cage, Robin Williams, Julia Roberts and Steven Spielberg. He also resides with his wife Vanessa Paradis and their two children in France.  Depp is considered one of the biggest stars out there, yet he remains out of the spotlight. Just how does he do it? 


JUST BEING ME

Jennifer ConnellyTo lead normal lives, a move out of the country isn't always necessary. Actress Jennifer Connelly is one example of just being the average person. Though she has been acting since she was a child (she was in the movie Labyrinth with David Bowie), Jennifer has continued to stay out of the tabloids.  She lives in New York with her husband, actor Paul Bettany and their two children. Besides being an actress, she has even dabbled in music (releasing a Japanese single "Monologue of Love" in the mid 1980's). She keeps herself busy and out of the headlines by doing the things that she loves, not the things that get her into magazines (click here to read more about her).  Contrary to her private lifestyle, she has just been named the new face of  the fashion line Balenciaga


So with stars like these that show that they can live somewhat normal lives without being in the media everyday and still be known and adored by fans, it makes me wonder do stars like Paris, Britney and Lindsey choose to make themselves victims of the latest Breaking Hollywood news. What are your thoughts? I'd love to hear them..

Till Next time..I'm Outski!

I'm sure I'm not the first one to have an opinion on why Britney is acting the way she is, nor will I be the last.  But I couldn't resist putting my own two cents in.  Here's how I look at the situation.  Britney is obsessed with being famous.  She deliberately courts the papparrazi.  She does crazy things because she knows that the cameras are following her.  Is she bi-polar?  More than likely, but since I'm not a medical doctor I can't make this diagnosis.  She spend too many years having everyone let her do whatever she wanted without consequences.  I know she had an assistant, but she wasn't her mother, and I'm not too sure her mom did such a hot job of raising her!  I mean, her 16 year old daughter is pregnant and supposedly she was letting Jamie Lynn live with her boyfriend for a period of time.  It's like as long as the money keeps rolling in, who cares?

Here's my biggest problem with the whole Britney situation though.  SHE HAS CHILDREN!  I'm a mother myself and my son is the number one priority in my life.  Every action I make has consequences on him.  I can either choose to be a good mother and make sure he is protected and safe, or I can go wild and not care who takes care of him.  You have to be a pretty selfish person to not care that you are losing your children, possibly FOR GOOD!  I would die if anything ever happened to my son.  I honestly don't know what I would do without him.  Do I like to go out with my friends and have a good time?  Yes!  But I don't make it a daily occurence.  I don't even make it a weekly occurence!  I would much rather spend time with him, than be out at some bar with a bunch of 20 year olds getting drunk. 
I realize that Britney is an adult and; therefore, should be able to make adult decisions.  But if I was going down the same road that she is, you can guarantee my parents would step in and make some decisions for me.  Let's hope that Britney gets the help she needs, but it doesn't seem likely.  There are too many people out there who are blinded by her fame and money.  They are afraid to make her mad.  Quit being the "yes men" and start getting this girl some help.

Unfortunately for Britney Spears, things seem to be getting worse. An emergency hearing was held by Kevin Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan to discuss the events of last night. The results: Britney's visitation rights have been suspended. K-Fed now has full custody of the boys until January 14, when another hearing is scheduled.

As for Britney, where is she? she is still at the hospital where she is on a suicide watch and is having psychological evaluations. The reports that have been surfacing seem to point to mental illness, rather than drugs. in many of the photo's of the incident, the former pop star at one point looks dazed but then she's seen smiling.
This definitely has to be a mental issue.

There is also more information on what happened last night. Britney apparently didn't want to let her children leave her home. She locked herself and her youngest son Jayden James in the bathroom and refused to open the door. Perez is reporting that the child was taken to the hospital because of a bruise on his arm that Britney could have caused.

As you know, this story is still developing, stay tuned....

EDIT: As of today (1/6/2008) Britney has been released from the hospital and was seen out and about with her photog friend having breakfast. All I can say here is ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Good Morning guys, It's almost 6 a.m est and I just woke up...and drama!

Breaking News: Britntey Spears had a family dispute last night that caused cops to be called, and she and her young son taken to the hospital. TMZ and Perez are hot on the trail..and so am I.

Britney in Gurney

Kevin Federline's Bodyguards went to Spears home to pick up Jayden James and Sean Preston and apparently Spears did not want to give up the kids.
Police were immediately called to the house. The LAPD said that they received a call at around 8:00 p.m.


When the cops arrived at the house they found Spears to be under the influence of an unknown drug (are we at all surprised? I think not). The once top rated celebrity and her son Jayden James were brought to Ceders Sinai Medical Center.
The star was wheeled out of her L.A home in a gurney. Cops say that she will be taken to the hospital on a "medical hold" for evaluation. She is still there as of 6:08 est.


O.k so are people going to actually help this girl now? I mean she's literally crying out for help and no one seems to be doing anything for her.
I know that she's an adult and she can make her own decisions (blah, blah , blah) but she needs to be forced to get help before the next story we hear is that Spears is dead. 

Where are her parents?Lynn Spears Lynn Spears is writing a book that talks about parenting and she's no where to be found?? doesn't she know that the more a person acts out, the more they are trying to get help. 
As a mom of two daughters, I can't imagine not rushing to the aid of my child no matter how difficult it might be to do so.   My child would be going to rehab kicking and screaming. If I had to stay there to make sure they got help, I would. Maybe it's just me. I know that all of this may be unrealistic since she is an adult but there are measures that can be put in place.




Updates will be posted as the drama continues.
    

Let's get right to it.

In breaking entertainment news, Britney spears has skipped her deposition for the fifth time. Britney SpearsShe was scheduled to appear in court on January 2nd, but refused to show once again. Britney has had so many chances to do right by her children but she refuses to follow these simple requests.

Due to her behavior and lack of respect, her lawyers have also filed a petition of termination from her case. The law firm of Trope and Trope said this in their petition "There has been a breakdown is communications between [Britney] and Trope and trope making further representation of her interests impossible."
Perez Hilton is reporting that the star has been given another chance to take her deposition.

What is this woman thinking? it's like she just doesn't get it, so many chances yet she refuses to take them. Other than not having any respect for the law, she has also been exhibiting some random strange behavior.  She drives around at all hours of the night, goes to gas stations A LOT, and checks herself into hotels even though she owns two homes in L.A. She recently hooked up with a Adnan Ghalib, one of the photogs that follow her around everywhere she goes take those embarrassing photo's of her. The recent news on these two is that they checked into the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs around 2 a.m. on January 2nd and didn't leave until 7 a.m. Britney says that she and Ghalib are just friends (sure...).

I really hope that Britney gets the help that she is so desperately seeking.

I will definitely keep you updated if and when she shows up for her deposition today.

EDIT: Spears showed up to her deposition 2 hours late and was only questioned for 14 minutes.  WHAT!!!

LATEST BRITNEY NEWS: Her disastrous attempt at relaunching her music career early last year made headlines around the world. Now, Britney Spears is trying the comeback road again - this time with her movie career.

Spears is apparently being lined up to appear in director Tommy Parker's new film "Memoirs Of A Medicated Child" according to The New York Post.

Spears will play the girlfriend of a misdiagnosed mentally ill patient if she agrees to star in the film, she was allegedly chosen for the role by producers ahead of fellow actress Lindsay Lohan.

Parker says "As far as Britney's concerned, we're talking." Spears last appearance on the big screen was in 2002's bottomless-pit-of-a-movie "Crossroads".

So what would it take for you to smell like your favorite celebrity?
Would you spend between $50-$100 for perfume made by Paris Hilton or  Naomi Campbell?
 
Here's a list of a few fragrances that were marketed in 2007 by some popular stars.


M by Mariah Carey
Mariah Carey designed a new fragrance called M. She talks about it in her own words: "The inspirations for M by Mariah Carey were multiple -places I've been, moments in my life and childhood memories. It combines my favorite scents and means so much to me. I wanted my fragrance to be like a gift to my fans."
Yea great gift, a 3.3 oz bottle can run you $62.50 at Macy's.



L by Gwen Stefani
Next we have Gwen Stefani. I think she would have to be the hottest thing right now as far as clothing/fashion and fragrance are concerned.
She has her very own clothing line called L.A.M.B, which is doing quite well right now. Her perfume "L" from that line costs $70.00 at Macy's for a 3.4 oz bottle.





Britney Spears also has her very own line of fragrances. Curious, Fantasy, and her newest scent Believe.

 Curious by Britney Spears     Fantasy by Britney Spears    Believe by Britney spears

They all run between $48.00 and $60.00 depending on the size of the bottles.

Here are some other female celebrities with fragrances of their own:

  • Celene Dion- Enchanting
  • Kate Moss- Kate
  • Sarah Jessica Parker- Covert
  • Paris Hilton- Can Can
  • Naomi Campbell- Cat Deluxe
  • Hilary Duff- With Love
  • Jennifer Lopez- Live
  • Shania Twain- Starlight
 
On the male end of the spectrum, Sean "Puffy/Diddy/P.Diddy" Combs jumped onto the band wagon by marketing a fragrance for women in is Unforgivable line called Unforgivable Woman.

Most of these prices were from Macy's but I would suggest sites like E-bay or Amazon for cheaper prices.

So what's your favorite scent?



Baby's, baby's, and more Baby's..what can I say I love them!!

This year we've had tons of celebrities who are with child: Christina Aguilera, Halle Berry, Lilly Allen, Jessica Alba, Jessica Sierra, Melissa-Joan Heart, Cate Blanchett, Soleil Moon Frye, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Ritchie, Julianna Margulies, and..drum role please....Jamie Lynn Spears (shocker!!!)

Jessica Alba recently confirmed that she is in-fact preggers. She has been photographed mostly working out, but the baby bump is beginning to show.
Alba recently became engaged to her Boyfriend Cash Warren. A wedding date for the couple has yet to be announced.  Nicole Ritchie announced her pregnancy to the world when she and boyfriend Joel Madden (Good Charlotte frontman) did an interview with Diane Sawyer.
Being pregnant has seem to have done some good for Ms. Richie. She has been on the straight and narrow since her announcement. She's due sometime in January.



Underage Pregnancy Alert!!


Jamie-LynnUmmm..o.k I can't say I'm excited to announce this one. Jamie Lynn Spears (Brit Brit's little sister/Zoey 101 star) announced her pregnancy to O.K Magazine.
She's only 16 y'all!! The supposed father is her on/off boyfriend of two years, 18 year old Casey Aldridge. Can we say illegal?
(actually its not, cause in their home state of Louisiana they are in the clear). The Teen-Nick star told the magazine that she will be keeping her baby and will raise "it" in Louisiana
in hopes of giving "it" a normal life. Yea Right..Britney spears is the baby's aunt..how normal is that?

Let's just hope that Dakota Fanning doesn't announce that she's expecting!

I'm out guys..stay tuned, Jamie Lynn interview in next blog!!!
