Clay Aiken’s Next Move: Sperm Donor
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Pregnancies, Rumors,
Although you may have recently seen Clay Aiken promoting his music on TV, it turns out QVC isn’t the only place he’s been giving out the goods. According to TMZ, the Spamalot star has recently become a sperm donor.
The woman carrying Aiken’s child is Jaymes Foster, a 50-year-old record producer who has worked on several of Aiken’s CDs. (I didn’t realize he had several of those out.) Jaymes - who is David Foster’s sister - is apparently a very close friend of Clay’s; she lets the former American Idol contestant live with her when he is in the L.A. area.
Both parties have reportedly agreed that Clay will have an active role in his child’s life. Jaymes will raise the baby while Clay’s music will help put him or her to bed.

Matthew McConaughey Sports Brown Bag
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Style, Paparazzi Photos,
Texan cutie Matthew McConaughey, who apparently has no shame or fear of tarnishing a masculine image (i.e. his long, shirtless runs on the beach with “best friend” Lance Armstrong), has now pranced about Los Angeles whilst wearing a cute, feminine brown bag!
Then again, he may very well be leading a revolution for men everywhere. They need bags, too… right? He looks as if he’s fairly enjoying his accessory, too. In fact, I’m actually starting to think that it may have been one of Penelope’s bags she may have left by accident! Either way, I can’t remember seeing anyone since Ryan Reynolds or Jack Bauer with a man bag—they’re nearly extinct!

George Clooney A Single Man Once Again
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Rumors,
Even though gossip columnists desperately wanted to believe George Clooney was finally ready to settle down, the tabloids will have even more to talk about now. Word on the street is that Clooney is a bachelor once again.
Despite escorting Sarah Larson to this year’s Oscars (it was the first time the George had brought a girlfriend along), it seems a long-term commitment just wasn’t in the cards. Although Clooney’s rep refuses to discuss his client’s personal life, sources have told both People and In Touch the one-year relationship is now over.
According to one report, a lack of common interests is what eventually drove the 47-year-old actor and 29-year old waitress/model apart. In other words- she was probably interested in more and he wasn’t.

CSI’s Gary Dourdan Pleads Guilty to Drug Possession
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drugs, Legal Issues,
Although he faced up to nearly 4 years in prison, actor Gary Dourdan managed to leave court today with only a slap on the hand.
The CSI star had been charged with three counts of felony drug possession after a police search of his car back on April 28. After pleading guilty to the Ecstasy and cocaine charges (a third for heroin was dismissed), the 41-year-old was ordered to complete a diversion program.
In a statement to the press, Dourdan’s lawyer said the star was, of course, sorry for his mistakes. “He very much regrets what happened, and he’s very embarrassed by what occurred, but he’s looking forward to moving on and getting back to work.”
So let’s see - instead of jail time, he gets 16 months to complete 30 hours of drug-education classes? What’s he going to do with himself in the meantime?

Jessica Simpson’s New Country Music Single
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Editorials,
Realizing she will never have Christina Aguilera’s chops or Britney Spears’ popularity, Jessica Simpson has decided to try a new route: country music.
According to father/manager Joe Simpson, the album - which is due out in September - is Jessica’s way of getting back to her Texas roots. (I’m sure her ‘coincidental’ relationship with Tony Romo is considered a bonus.)
While I’m admittedly not a Simpson fan, I must admit - this genre may suit her well. Long gone are the breathy vocals, annoying runs and forced sexiness. Plus, she gets some nice backup vocals to support her.
If you like what you’re hearing, you can find Jessica performing ‘Come On Over’ at your local fair sometime this summer.

Those familiar with Patrick Swayze‘s health situation were all pleased to see the actor out in public this past weekend. The Dirty Dancing star, who revealed earlier this year that he had pancreatic cancer, attended a Lakers playoff game with his wife on Friday. Although it was hard not to notice Patrick’s obvious weight loss, the 55-year-old looked remarkably well.
In a statement given exclusively to People, Swayze says his treatment has allowed him to carry on with normal activities:
“Thought I’d give you guys a little update. Lisa and I have been back and forth from New Mexico enjoying the arrival of spring and new baby calves. This past weekend, we spent a fun time with friends in Reno for Lisa’s birthday, where I took her jewelry shopping at Kenny G & Company and (we) were able to find her something really special and much deserved! In the meantime, I am continuing treatment at Stanford and the great news is I continue to respond well.”
Huh. Wasn’t there a tabloid out there that said Swayze only had five weeks to live? You show ‘em, Patrick!

Kirsten Dunst Opens Up About Depression
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Parties,
Although she was seen having a lot of fun earlier this year, Kirsten Dunst would like to make something clear: her visit to rehab had nothing to do with partying.
Dunst - who is currently filming All Good Things - spoke exclusively to E! about her recent stint at a popular treatment facility. The 26-year-old said she sought help for matters not related to substances. “I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression.”
While some had speculated that Heath Ledger’s death might have prompted her admittance, the actress says the decision was actually months in coming:
“It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”
Well, let’s hope Dunst was able to receive the help she needed. We’ve all seen how well Lindsay Lohan did after leaving the Lodge…

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Breaking News,
Although he was happy to welcome a son just two weeks, rapper Xzibit is now mourning the loss of his newborn. In a blog posted on MySpace, the X-Files: I Want to Believe star informed his friends of Xavier Kingston Joiner’s sad death.
The baby - born on May 15th - passed away early Monday morning; the young child’s premature delivery didn’t allow his lungs to develop properly.
In his statement (which can be read after the jump), Alvin Nathaniel Joiner (the star’s real name) encouraged his fans to protect their children. He also thanked those who had sent messages of support.

Sex and the City star Kristin Davis (we know her best as Charlotte York-Goldenblatt) recently sat down with Health magazine to talk Sex, cosmopolitans and her past. What she revealed may seem more than surprising to die-hard Sex fans.
You’re in a fashionable Manhattan club when you notice Kristin Davis sitting some stools away. If your first impulse is to tell the barkeep to send a cosmo over her way, resist. In her interview, Davis admitted that she used to suffer from alcoholism - and she never touches the bevy of free cocktails she receives from faithful fans. “I get sent many a cosmo,” Davis admitted. “I never drink them…Why risk it?”
Unlike her happily married character, Davis, 43, is still a single gal with no kids to call her own. She would, however “love to have children.” Davis said she admires Angelina Jolie, and would consider adoption. But let’s not cash it all in just yet. Kristin also admitted “I would still like to find a man and have a baby with him.” Just remember, guys, cosmos definitely aren’t the way to her heart.

ANTM’s CariDee English Hospitalized
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Parties,
Although “dehydration” episodes were so last year, model CariDee English was supposedly hospitalized for that exact same reason just over a week ago.
On May 18, CariDee, the seventh winner of America’s Next Top Model, was partying at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut when she sought out medical assistance. (Does any else notice how the words partying and dehydration always seem to go together?) According to her rep, English was only briefly hospitalized and is already back to work in Los Angeles.
Now if CariDee had only bothered to watch ANTM this past season, she would have known that it was okay to eat and be a model too!
