Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Break-ups, Child Stars, Rumors,
By now, the news that Sam Ronson and Lindsay Lohan broke up after New Year’s has swept every gossip mag and celebrity Web site…but the center of the attention says it’s all just false gossip.
“…we did NOT break up!” Linds wrote on her MySpace blog. “Get your stories straight please.”
The couple has been surrounded by stories of loud, public arguments, and this isn’t the first time break up rumors have singled out the pair. As of today, at least, Linds and Sam are still an item.

Jamie Lynn Spears Lookalike Sues LAX
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Legal Issues, Rumors,
A good celebrity impersonator can make thousands of dollars an hour just for dressing up and acting like the world’s biggest stars. Adessa Eskeridge played Jamie Lynn Spears only once, but hopes to get a staggering seven-figure paycheck for her work.
That’s right: she’s suing LAX (that’s the Los Angeles International Airport) for the cool sum of $2 million. Eskeridge was used by police as a Jamie Lynn decoy in September of 2008, though she claims they did so without her knowledge or consent.
Eskeridge’s lawyer claims that she was “not given any details as to the nature of the task or of the potential danger involved. She simply followed the instructions of the police as most good citizens would do.” He says his client was “deceived and manipulated” by the police, and “suffered and continues to suffer great humiliation” from this event. He says the situation is tantamount to a “false arrest.”
They’re requesting the 2 mill, but Eskeridge’s lawyer made it clear that she’s “willing to consider a reasonable and fair settlement that fully compensates her for the humiliation, fear and harassment.”
So, pay up, LAX, and the problem will magically go away.

Engagement’s Over for Jennifer Love Hewitt and Ross McCall
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Break-ups, Engagements,
Attention all you single men: Jennifer Love Hewitt is now back on the market.
Just over a year after becoming engaged, Hewitt, 29, and fiance Ross McCall (Band of Brothers) have called it quits. The couple had been dating for approximately two years prior to the November 2007 proposal.
According to People, the shocking decision was made during the recent holiday season. “They’re both really sad about this. Even their friends are surprised; they seemed really happy. Everyone just wants the best for both of them,” claims a source.
In Spring 2007, Hewitt told the magazine that her relationship with McCall didn’t require much effort. “It’s the first time I’ve ever been in a relationship where you don’t have to try. And I think that’s the answer. That’s when you know that you’re in something really good and healthy and right.”
Before meeting Ross, Jennifer had also been linked to both John Mayer and Carson Daly.

Engagement for DWTS’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Engagements,
To call these dancers “quick movers” would be an understatement.
Although they’ve only been together for less than six months, Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff are now officially engaged. The two Dancing with the Stars competitors - who have known each other for about 15 years - began dating shortly after Smirnoff, 30, ended her relationship with Mario Lopez last summer.
According to sources, Maksim, 28, popped the question to Karina on New Year’s Eve while they were celebrating in Las Vegas. The proposal happened in between stops of their DWTS tour. (Both dancers are expected to participate in the next season of the ABC show when it returns on March 9.)

Travolta Family Issues Statement Over Son’s Death
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies,
UPDATE #2: A family source has reported that a “seizure disorder” was the cause of death.
Just days after the death of their 16-year-old son, John Travolta and Kelly Preston have taken time out to address their supporters.
The statement posted on Preston’s web site reads as follows:
“We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences. Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered.
We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives. We have received many messages of condolence from around the world and we want to thank everyone for their prayers and support. It has meant so much to us. It is a beautiful reminder of the inherent goodness in the human spirit that gives us a hope for a brighter future.
With love, John, Kelly, and Ella.”
An autopsy on Jett Travolta is scheduled for this Monday.
Questionable Photo of the Day: Joaquin Phoenix
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Hair Styles, Photos,
UPDATE: Several sources are now claiming that Phoenix’s new rapping career is an elaborate hoax.
Who’s that guy Diddy’s staring at? Believe it or not, that’s Walk the Line‘s Joaquin Phoenix. The two - along with Casey Affleck - were spotted partying in Miami Beach earlier this week.
Just a few months back, the Oscar nominee announced that he was giving up acting to focus on his musical career. Hopefully, he’ll also find time to focus on showers and shaving during his retirement. (You can see more pics of the 34-year-old’s new look after the jump.)
Phoenix still has one more film set for the big screen. Two Lovers, also starring Gwyneth Paltrow, is scheduled for a February 13 release.

Family Tragedy for John Travolta and Kelly Preston
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies,
UPDATE #2: A family source has reported that a “seizure disorder” was the cause of death.
UPDATE: You can read the statement issued by the family here.
The new year has unfortunately started off tragically for John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston.
According to Michael Ossi, a lawyer for the family, the 16-year-old son of the Hairspray star died today after suffering a seizure. The family had been at their vacation home in the Bahamas when the incident occurred.
Jett, the couple’s eldest child, had suffered from a history of seizures. His parents have stated that his developmental disability had been linked to Kawasaki disease. Coincidentally, the inflammatory disorder which can lead to heart attacks just got some media attention last week. The son of Backstreet Boys’ Brian Littrell was recently diagnosed with an atypical form of the disease. (Baylee has since been released from the hospital.)
John and Kelly, married since 1991, also have an 8-year-old daughter named Ella Bleu.

Top 20 VIP Breakdown stories of 2008
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Break-ups, Divorce, Hook-ups, Hair Styles, Legal Issues, Photos, Breaking News,
Let’s face it, 2008 was a wild year for all the personalities from show business that we love (and despise.) We’ve published a bunch of news, rumors, and opinions here on VIP Breakdown over the past year, and we felt it would only be right to recap the top 20 most read articles for the entire year. So that is just what we’ve done, so you’ll find that below. Oh, and by the way, what the heck, y’all? We published an article at the end of 2008 about Robert Pattinson getting a hair cut, and it leapfrogged everything else we did for the entire year, becoming the most read, in a matter of a week? What gives? Anyhoo, here we go:
Top 20 most read posts in 2008:
- Robert Pattinson Shears His Shaggy Locks
- Taylor Swift Loses Joe Jonas to Camilla Belle
- Girl Next Door Kendra Wilkinson Now Engaged
- Cynthia Nixon Talks About Her Lesbian Relationship

So, what do you think? We miss anything? Should there have been a story up there that was left out? Sound off.
Come 2011, Emma Watson will have starred in 8 successful Harry Potter films and generated enough money to dabble in any indie project she likes. But will we ever see the actress in a nude Broadway performance a la Daniel Radcliffe?
In a recent interview, the college bound 18-year-old admitted she was uncertain where her future would take her. Since Emma never really had thoughts about getting into acting in the first place (she was only nine when they found her “out of nowhere”), she’s not sure if the profession is something she’ll eventually stick with. “Just because this has happened to me doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the right thing,” Watson said. “I’ve come from a background of lawyers and academics. We didn’t watch films in our household.”
So what’s up next for the Tale of Despereaux star? School. Although she won’t be joining Daniel on a NY stage anytime soon, Watson could still be making an extended trip to the States. It’s believed that Emma - who was seen touring Harvard a few months back - may be attending an American university in Fall 2009.

Nicole Richie’s Come a Long Way
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Weddings, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Photos, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Two years ago, photos of a terribly emaciated Nicole Richie in a bikini traveled all over the Internet. The skinny star was ridiculed and reported upon for her bony, unhealthy appearance, very public friendship falling out and seemingly out-of-control ways.
Today, Richie looks like the perfect picture of a healthy, happy mother. Richie is often photographed with Harlow in tow and currently is looking fabulously filled-out and fashionable. It’s a wonder what a good thirty pounds will do for a girl.
Now, the star who once seemed to have no future at all is planning a wedding, and perhaps might add even more responsibility to her motherhood role. According to gossip, Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden might be thinking of adoption. “I’m definitely not against adopting,” Madden told AskMen.com recently. “I went to the Central African Republic and fell in love with the place. If I was going to adopt, it would probably be from there.”
