Stand Up and Review

The Dave Matthews Band's latest cd just came out and I thought you guys might be interested in reading what Rolling Stone magazine had to say about the latest release. All-in-all the review seems good, but the author seems to believe that part of Dave Matthews unique musical perspective was drowned out by the coming together of the rest of the band. If anyone has listened to part or all of the album it would be great if you could add your thoughts and commentary!

Poor Little Rich Girl

Turns out Paris isn't as popular as she used to be. However, maybe she's happier this way. In this article she discusses her lack of social life recently, although she's reportedly paid between $150,000 and $200,000 just to show up to a party. She's become slightly jaded, stating that you can't really trust anyone and that many of her old friends were fake. She lists among her true friends: her family, sister, fiance, and some other close friends. Maybe it's also a result of her newfound desire to settle down in the next couple of years and start a family. I've noticed talking to others that many social friends are lost once a person stops partying as often.

Who knew?

I know that they started dating but I had no idea that this marriage was about to happen. Who? You ask. Tom and Katie, no. Angelina and Brad, no. Paris and Paris, who are already engaged, no. Renee Zellwegger and Kenny Chesney were married today in St. John in the Virgin Islands. I know they are not celebrities I am supposed to cover in my blog, but since I do discuss gossip and this news that I read in this article were so shocking I found it necessary to announce this to my blog readers! Did anyone see this coming?

This just in...

Once again an amazing bit of news has just appeared on my Bloglines. Even though this information does not concern any of the 6 celebrities I discuss, I have decided it's way to interesting not to report. It is now rumored that Jake Gyllenhal and Catalina Sandino Moreno are either seeing each other, or maybe just hooking up. This article details the make-out session that led to my posting. What I'm wondering is what happened to the hot/cold relationship between Jake and Kirsten? Does anyone know if the once-in-awhile hook-up between the two is over for good?

The New Magazine In Town

There is an all new celebrity gossip magazine. I recently found it in certain news shops in NYC. This magazine, Celebrity Living, is being sold for the bargain price of $1.89. The magazine is fairly up-to-date, and not too bad. I enjoy the layout and the pictures. They have a fairly comprehensive fashion section. My only complaint is the writing is somewhat lackluster and the decision of which items are newsworthy needs to be a little more discerning. All-in-all though I think it has great potential and it will most likely raise in price after a few years, so buy it now!

Update on Tom and Katie's whirlwind love affair

So, here we go again. Tom and Katie have been canoodling in the US after their recent trip to Rome. All the magazines have been reporting on their recent visit to Las Vegas. They were able to take in a Cirque du Soleil on April 30th. Meanwhile, many people are still suspicious that this is all some elaborate PR hoax. What do you guys think? Their trip to Rome has been called a "Roman Holiday" which I can tie into Audrey Hepburn who was known for her role in the movie which helped to introduce her to the American public. I hope that Katie and Tom's romance ends a little more pleasantly than the star-crossed love affair between Princess Ann and Joe Bradley.

Ripped from the Headlines

So i found 2 great articles at the same place. The second discusses Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and what appears to be their second trip to Africa together. This budding romance seems to be going well, in spite of all the secrecy. The first article relates how Katie Holmes neglected to attend the gala at the Metropolitan museum because of all the recent interest in her actions. Turns out she may have made a wise choice, because Nicole Kidman (Tom Cruise's ex-wife) was co-hosting the gala. Katie's absence from this event, that honors the new Chanel exhibit at the Metro, was apparently not meant as an insult to Carolina Herrera, the famous designer, who was the head of Katie's table and her friend.

Paris and House of Wax, revisited

So, the Hollywood Reporter has released a review of the famous remake coming out this Friday. In the last paragraph Hilton's acting is described as truly remarkable, for being so bad. This is discussed in an E! online article which also discusses her other career accomplishments and gossip from this year. I have posted these two articles under the Paris links as well.

Katie, Tom, and Chris

So, due to the amazing interest I have received on the blog (through comments) and after class today, I have to decided to post some knowledge about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes for Allison and Mike! I know my blog doesn't not specifically cover these celebrities, but when celebrity news calls it is hard to ignore. Chris Klein has pleaded guilty to his misdeamoner for driving under the influence a couple of weeks ago (prior to the announcement of the dissolution of his relationship with Katie Holmes). Could this have been a factor in their break-up? As far as any other news goes with the developing romance between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, I have not found much else other than that they are dating and the information was confirmed by Tom' sister in this article. Hope you guys enjoy this celebrity gossip!

Nicole and Paris: Wanna Hear More About the Feud

Ok guys, I am going to blog a little more about Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie's quickly disappearing friendship. So, If this subject really interests you I suggest you go to this website, because it discusses all the latest gossip, in short blurbs at least. If you want the whole article pick up this week's (May 9th) In Touch Weekly to get your gossip fix. The article lists the problems between Nicole and Paris (this time it is stated to be jealousy, busy schedules, possible racial slur (allegedly made by Paris and Nicole apparently took offense), SNL fiasco (Paris hosted, Nicole wasn't invited to co-host so she got mad and had a party the same night to view the tape Paris had made with boyfriend Rick)). Now this problem has led to the removal of Nicole Ritchie as a character on Simple Life with the possible replacement of Kimberly Stewart. Although, that rumor has yet to be fully confirmed. The celebrities who have been listed to be in support of Nicole: Mandy Moore, Brandon Davis, Mischa Barton, Ashley Olsen, and Ashlee Simpson. The celebrities that have been listed to be in support of Paris: Paris Latsis (her fiance), Elisha Cuthbert, Pamela Anderson, Owen Wilson, and Kevin Connelly (from Entourage).
