People Magazine Cover.

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon gave People Magazine exclusive access to their wedding photos. That's Crazy!

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...

Hey Guys here's some quick news:

Cameron Diaz and Dad.
Cameron Diaz released a statement on Wednesday after the sudden death of her father Emilio. Emelio Diaz, who was only 58, died from pneumonia on Tuesday. The top movie star, who is currently filming a new movie was understandably absent from the set. How sad, he was only 58.




Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson.So they announced the engagement news, now Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson has to officially announce the pregnancy rumors that have been confirmed by People Magazine. The magazine quotes a source close to the couple as saying that Ashlee is indeed preggers and that she and Pete are planning on getting married as early as May! Can't wait to see this Hollywood celebrity wedding! I wonder if her dad is going to try to sell photo's of the star for huge amounts of money?
On another note,  I mean the rumors are great and all, but dang, these so called friends (I'm sure it was her dad) never give celebrities time to say it themselves. Oh well, more gossip for us!
Come-on guys just let the cat outta the bag already!

Celebrity Weight Loss Fads


O.K Magazine Cover

What's the quickest way to loose weight? Take a photo of what you looked liked four years ago, and go around telling people that you're still actually that skinny despite what they see now. Not a good idea? well O.K Magazine thought it was. The magazine's latest cover story was about how Britney lost an amazing 15 lbs in just 4 weeks, with a photo of the famous star on the cover. The thing that they neglected to mention was that the photo was from 2003. Big Oops!!

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.

Hey guys hope you're having a wonderful day, thanks for stopping by. Let's get to the gossip shall we.

Richard Selzer AKA Mr. Blackwell, has released his list of the worst dressed celebrities of  2007. Woooo!  First off let me just say, Britney is not on the list here's what he says: “I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval, I hope 2008 is a better year for her.” Aww at least someone out there cares.  Anywho, so who did make it on the list you ask?
Well Fashionista Posh Spice, AKA Victoria Beckham came in at #1. Also on the list was Mary-Kate Olsen who he said "resembles a tattered toothpick trapped in a hurricane." Wow how HARSH is that? Avril Lavigne, Jessica Simpson, and Mariah Carey was also dissed.

OH THE HORROR!!
 Amy WinehouseAmy Winehouse, who's name was also mentioned on Mr. Blackwell's list, was photographed with a brand-new hair-do. No more beehive! (I'm sure more than just bees came out of that monster when she took it off).  Instead of her regular black, she's decided to lighten up her locks with a little blonde. It looks...um....
She'll be on the list next year.

In other fashion news: Michael Jordan will soon be releasing his new basketball shoe. It's the first ever "Green" shoe. TMZ is reporting that the shoe is the first ever to be made with sustainable materials. O.K? oh yea and it's gonna cost ya $230..How bad do ya want it?


In Britney Spears news:
Dr. Phil is being blasted by Spears parents for lack of character.  He basically barged into her room when she was being released from the hospital and he tried to make it seem as though she wanted him to be there.  Also TMZ is reporting that Brit's parents are trying desperately to get her into rehab, whether she wants to go or not...I really hope they do.

More Celebrity Baby News:
Even though she denied and denied, Nicole Kidman finally confirmed that she and husband Keith Urban are having a little one.  No due date has been announced.  But great for her..after what, 10+ years of trying.
Former Idol Jessica Sierra will not be having her kid in jail. She was released from a Florida jail on Tuesday but with some strict rules to follow. She will have to be in rehab for one year and after that, probation for 3 years.  This is the kicker..if she appears on t.v she will be thrown back on jail. Let's hope she does well and doesn't end up being intervied on one of those t.v entertainment shows.
Oh and Pamela Anderson might be pregnant...

O.K guys I'm gone for now but I will be back with more gossip..stay tuned!

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!

When hearing the name Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Tyra Banks, Scarlett Johanson, Sara Ramerez, Mariah Carey, Salma Hayek and Catherine Zeta-Jones what's the first thought that comes to mind? do you think of things like famous, beautiful, and well-rounded? well I do too but you know what words comes to my mind the most? CURVY, VOLOPTUOUS, HEALTHY...the list can go on and on.
Curvy Models
With the holidays just ending most people now are focusing on the latest and quickest way to loose those holiday pounds that they may have put on.
Though I could write about the latest Hollywood weight loss fads and I'm sure I will eventually, I choose not to. I would like to pay homage to those ladies out there
who love the way their bodies look, and who are not the typical size zero.

Size Matters

Size 12 ModelDid you know that the average size for an American woman is a size 12, and not a size Zero like most people would like to believe (Victoria Beckham is a size zero).  Don't get me wrong, I'll be honest..I'm a size zero or one, and no I'm not unhealthy or emaciated. Though i'd love to be a larger size, having two kids has not helped in that department.  I think I've tried just about everything to actually GAIN weight, but due to my genetics (so I've been told) I've never weighed anything more than 120lbs.
I was told that for my height (five feet) that's actually quite normal...but I digress. I'm writing this piece to show everyone that you're beautiful just the way you are, whether you are a size 12 or 0, or any where in between.


From Past to Present


Mae WestGinger Rogers

During the times of "old" Hollywood, actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelley, Ginger Rogers, Greta Garbo, Mae West, and Katherine Hepburn.  Graced the silverscreen with their presence. Many of these actresses were not the petite size we see today.




anna Nicole Smith
Maralin Monroe The latest Hollywood actress who dealt with the presure to be thin was the late B movie actress Anna Nicole Smith. A curvy actress who's battle with weight was often in the spotlight. Anna Nicole's weight at one point ballooned to 224lbs in 2002. Before her death she was the spokesperson for the weightloss company TripSpa, her weight ultimately went down to 140lbs. Personally I loved Anna pre TrimSpa. She looked an aweful lot like her idol Marilyn Monroe.


Standing Up to the Media

Beyonce and Tyra     America Fererra


America Ferrera is a new actress who's made headlines for not just being on the t.v show "Ugly Betty", but for her weight. I don't gt it she's beautiful, she can act, what's the problem? Beyonce and Tyra Banks are two top rated celebrities who aren't afraid to show their bodies.  Beyonce and Tyra embrace their curvyness in order to show an example to young girls out there that haveing a little more meat on your bones is not all that bad. When an unflattering photo of Tyra was circulated on magazine covers all around the globe, she immediately confronted the media and went on her talk show to show the world that she was proud of her body. You go Tyra!


Enjoy Being You

In closing, I hope that 2008 can be a year of being healthy and looking your best. An emphasis should be placed on enjoying your body no matter what it looks like. The media has a lot of control over how women look at themselves, lets hope the curvy trend continues and skinny and not so skinny women can unite and start a new trend...JUST BEING YOU.

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?

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!!!
