Angelina Jolie Tops Oprah on Forbes Power List
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Sports, Television,
Apparently I’m a Celebrity has devalued Spencer Pratt’s fame so much, he didn’t even rank in the Top 100.
After combining figures based on entertainment-related earnings and media popularity, there was a surprise shift in the Forbes annual power list. According to the magazine, Angelina Jolie now carries more weight than the reigning talk show queen.
Thanks to a high interest in her new twins, several blockbusters (Wanted, Kung Fu Panda) and her ongoing humanitarian work, Jolie has earned the top spot for 2009. Billionaire Oprah, last year’s #1, slid by only one spot despite a dip in her program’s ratings. Madonna, Beyonce, Tiger Woods, Bruce Springsteen, Steven Spielberg, Jennifer Aniston, Brad Pitt and Kobe Bryant round off the Top 10.

Previously Unpublished Marilyn Monroe Photos Discovered
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Photos,
A collection of rarely-seen, unpublished photos of a young Marilyn Monroe has been unearthed by Life magazine. Monroe, 24 at the time the pics were taken, was only on the brink of stardom when photographer Ed Clark captured her beauty for the cameras.
The 1950 shoot contains photos of a fresh-faced young starlet who, at the time, was innocent of Presidential affairs and the staggering lows of multiple divorces. Monroe, who died tragically at age 36, would have been 83 years old today.

Susan Boyle Reportedly Hospitalized After Emotional Breakdown
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,
A long, emotional ride appears to have ended with a hospital stay for internet star Susan Boyle.
One day after losing the Britain’s Got Talent title to dance group Diversity, the 48-year-old was reportedly taken a London clinic for a possible “emotional breakdown.”
According to the Daily Mail, officials were called to Boyle’s hotel because show assistants said she had been “acting strangely.” Although police would not reveal the identity of the patient in question, they did confirm that they were called “to a central London hotel to doctors assessing a woman under the Mental Health Act.”
The program’s production company, talkbackThames, offered a few more details on the contestant’s status. “Following Saturday night’s show, Susan is exhausted and emotionally drained. She has been seen by her private GP who supports her decision to take a few days out for rest and recovery. We offer her our ongoing support and wish her a speedy recovery,” the statement read.

Hot Celebrity of the Day: Halle Berry
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television,
Whether you like her better with long hair or with her signature cropped look, there’s no denying that Halle Berry is hot. That’s why Spike TV gave the Oscar winner their “Decade of Hotness” award.
The 2009 Guys Choice Awards won’t formally air until June 21, but I imagine Jamie Foxx will be talking about last night’s presentation long before then.

Tila Tequila Reportedly Pregnant
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Pregnancies, Rumors,
UPDATE: Tila has since addressed the rumors by saying that she is “not currently” pregnant.
Sounds like someone might have gotten a little shot of love. (Sorry - that just had to be said.)
Based on tweets posted her own account, speculation has been brewing that Tila Tequila is now pregnant. The Shot at Love beauty got the news started earlier this month when she reportedly wrote - then deleted - the announcement on her Twitter page.
According to Extra, the bisexual reality star made the reveal late on May 19. “I’m gonna tell y’all something REAL FAST, then delete it ok?... Since nobody is awake… reason why I’ve been feeling sick on and off lately is because yes, I am pregnant!” Tila also supposedly hinted at the identity of the father. “I’m talking about someone very very very very very f**king famous! He is like A-list famous and you follow him on Twitter too,” she wrote several days earlier. “Someone is not stepping up the the plate…but it’s all good. We all know I have more balls then you will ever have and your a man! Whatever.”

Kara DioGuardi Outs Lambert, Adam Disses Aiken
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Videos,
Given all the recent talk about American Idol‘s Adam Lambert, you would have thought the Season 8 runner-up was actually the winner. Maybe these two new tidbits will now put some of the chatter to rest.
Is Adam Lambert gay?
Even though it was believed the 27-year-old might soon reveal that answer to Rolling Stone magazine, someone else may have already done the work for him. On today’s episode of The View, judge Kara DioGuardi said Lambert’s sexuality has never been a mystery.
“I don’t think that Adam was ever in [the closet]. You know, I think he was always openly out.” Kara told the co-hosts. When Barbara Walters questioned that statement, Kara added: “From what I’ve seen on the various forms of things, I do. I never thought he wasn’t.”

Why Do Celebrities Think They Are Writers?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Television, Where Are They Now?,
Candy Spelling, Barbara Streisand and Kate Gosselin are all touting new book projects - and that’s to name only a few. Over the years, many small and big screen stars have put their name on a cover and sold millions (and millions) of copies. One good example is Stephen Colbert’s I Am America (And So Can You), which went straight to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. It’s always been a personal peeve of mine, and it has never failed to distress me. Now I find myself almost continuously wondering, watching and wanting to sort it out.
Why, oh why, do celebrities (read: actors) think they are writers?

Candy Spelling Fires Another Shot in Family Feud
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,
Just when you thought the media gossip was drying down, Spelling matriarch Candy has fired another bullet in her media back-and-forth with daughter Tori. All of this, mind you, is part of Candy Spelling’s book promotion - or, so I suspect.
Spelling conducted a radio interview, purportedly to tout her Stories From Candyland, and ended up dragging Tori Spelling through the proverbial mud. “My daughter one day decided that she wasn’t speaking to my husband, myself and my son, and that’s how it’s continued for the last, oh gosh, four or five years.”
Sure, that’s not the nicest thing to say…but Candy wasn’t done by a long shot. “That’s what killed my husband, actually,” she continued, referring to TV mogul Aaron Spelling. “He just didn’t want to live after that.” Spelling passed away in June of 2006, leaving the bulk of his fortune to Candy.

One day after she was found hanging on a treadmill cord, Exodus Tyson was pronounced dead.
The 4-year-old daughter of boxer Mike Tyson was discovered by her 7-year-old brother Monday morning. According to police, the little girl either slipped or placed her head in a loop that was hanging under the equipment’s console.
Mike, who had been in Vegas at the time of the accident, immediately flew to Phoenix to be with Exodus. Unfortunately, the child had been listed in critical condition since her arrival at St. Joe’s Hospital. Approximately 24 hours later, Exodus officially passed away.
“There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Exodus. We ask you now to please respect our need at this very difficult time for privacy to grieve and try to help each other heal,” the girl’s family said in a statement.
