What do you do when you’re a reunited boy band in need of a publicity stunt? You join forces with another boy band.
Last week, the New Kids on the Block hit the recording studio with the group that hit the music scene before them: New Edition. It was the first time both Maurice Starr creations have worked together on a project.
The song - which does not include bad boy Bobby Brown - is being put together by RedOne, the same man also responsible for Heidi Montag‘s new track ‘Fashion.’ (Just in case that news raises any red flags for you.) According to the producer, the song “sounds very universal and melodic and has both sides in it: The R&B, which is New Edition and the pop side for New Kids.”
You can expect to hear ‘Full Service’ on NKOTB’s upcoming album.

Ashlee Simpson’s Baby Bump Style

My advice to Ashlee Simpson (and any other expectant women out there): Accessories should be limited when your belly starts to show.
Nothing should ever be wrapped around your head. Ever.
Sienna Miller Reportedly Dating Another Married Actor
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Divorce, Hook-ups, Rumors,
You gotta hand it to Sienna Miller. That woman moves fast.
Just weeks after ending her 9-month relationship with Rhys Ifans (Notting Hill), the 26-year-old actress has reportedly moved on to her next target: a married Balthazar Getty. Getty, 33, was supposedly introduced to the blonde bombshell through his Brothers & Sisters co-star, Matthew Rhys - another rumored ex of Sienna’s.
According to the British tabloids, this upsetting news has driven Balthazar’s wife to seek a divorce lawyer. Rosetta Getty has also taken their four children, including an 8-month-old baby girl, to a family villa in Italy. Meanwhile, Sienna and her new beau have reportedly been spending time together in the Los Angeles area.
If the stories are true, this would make the second high-profile affair for Miller. Jude Law was a married father of three when he and his Alfie co-star became involved.

Vanity Fair’s Young Hollywood Issue
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Photos,
Earlier this year, Vanity Fair devoted one of its issues to the ‘Fresh Faces of 2008.’ Now the magazine is focusing its attention on ‘Hollywood’s New Wave.’ What’s the difference? I have absolutely no idea.
In the August edition, readers will be able to find some of the younger generation’s brightest stars (e.g. the cast of Gossip Girl, the Jonas Brothers). They’ll also be introduced to others still making their mark.
Will all of the chosen be names still heard years from now? Probably not. But that’s what makes these issues quite interesting to me. I always find it fun trying to predict those who’ll have lasting power and those who’ll burn out quickly.
You can see some of those youthful stars after the jump. The rest of them can be found here.

Realizing people weren’t buying his ‘my feet really hurt’ story, Steven Tyler has chosen to give honesty a try.
Back in May, the Aerosmith singer tried convincing the media that he was away seeking recuperation, not rehabilitation. Tyler said he was simply wanted time alone to recover from some surgeries. “I really needed a safe environment to recuperate where I could shut off my phone and get back on my feet.”
Now the musician - who has battled addiction before - admits he was receiving help for much more. Steven told the Associated Press that his treatment was for the what came after his procedures. “To have your feet done, to have your leg done, you have to be on narcotics. You have to be on sleep aids at night. I don’t know about Joe [Perry, an Aerosmith bandmate], but I was off and running and I didn’t like the me that was me.”
See, Steven? Now was that so hard?

Spencer Pratt vs. Mary-Kate Olsen
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: D-List, Television, Rivalries,
After being made a fool of on David Letterman (twice!), Spencer Pratt has decided to lash out at former classmate Mary-Kate Olsen.
Earlier this month, The Hills star made a guest appearance on the late night program and was put on the hot seat by the talk show host. (You can see that video here.) When Pratt claimed that he receives fees of $100,000 to appear at clubs, Letterman simply couldn’t hold back the laughter.
Fast forward to past Thursday when Mary-Kate Olsen was on the same show promoting her new movie, The Wackness. David asked if Olsen had gone to school with any of the young stars in the news today—and that’s when the subject of Spencer Pratt came up. (You can see this clip after the jump.)

Paris Hilton, 27, once promised the world she would do more good works in her life. This isn’t to say she won’t still star on somewhat trashy reality shows - she’s working on a project with MTV right now, in fact - but the heiress apparently isn’t afraid to give some of her millions away.
Hilton recently donated an “extremely generous” undisclosed sum to the to-be-constructed Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fund raising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious diseases,” Hilton said of her gift. The center Hilton donated to is scheduled to open in 2010.

Donald Trump Comments on Romance…Just Not His Own
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Break-ups,
Romantic relationships are a private, personal affair. Unless, of course, you’re a celebrity. Then, you (and your broken heart) are just media fodder. And Donald Trump might just cash in on the publicity action, too.
The famed tycoon unleashed a string of comments to the press on the subject of Get Smart star Anne Hathaway and her headline-grabbing breakup from four-year romantic partner Raffeallo Follieri. Follieri, who lives in Trump Tower, was recently arrested for fraud. If that wasn’t bad enough, he was also ditched by his brunette gal pal. But don’t worry - Follieri has a friend in Trump.
“She hasn’t remained very loyal to him, has she?” Trump posed the question to Access Hollywood. “So when he had plenty of money, she liked him, but then after that, not as good, right?”
Even while The Donald bashed the Hollywood star, he had some positive comments on Follieri (whose bail is set at a staggering multi-million dollar sum). “I’ve heard he’s very nice.” Well, then, it must be true! “According to the help, no problems.” Did Donald Trump just honestly refer to his employees as “the help” - is anyone else taken aback by this?
Finally, something that might make Living Lohan interesting.
According to OK! Magazine, Michael Lohan - Lindsay and Ali’s dad - has admitted to fathering another girl. His third daughter was conceived while he was still married to Dina Lohan, though the two were supposedly separated at the time. That love child is now 13-years-old.
In a statement to the publication, Michael said he initially didn’t know about the pregnancy. “Years later [the woman] contacted me, convincing me that I was the only person she was with and that she had my child.”

Madonna’s Marriage Nearing the End
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors,
After nearly 8 years of marriage, it’s really starting to look like things are over between Madonna and Guy Ritchie.
Sources say the two have simply fallen out of love and have been living separate lives for some time now. According to one report, Guy has even distanced himself from kabbalah, the set of teachings the singer has been closely associated with.
Although the couple have been dogged by rumors for years, Ritchie’s absence from his wife’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in March helped fuel speculation. Now there’s word that Madonna, 49, has hired the same lawyer who helped guide Paul McCartney through his high-profile divorce proceedings.
While Guy, 39, could be entitled to nearly 1/2 of the singer’s estimated $600 million fortune, friends of the director claim its unlikely we’ll be seeing the two in court. According to one source, it’s “not his style to start profiteering from such sorry circumstances.”
As one would expect, the British journalists have latched onto this story and are continuously churning out new tidbits. Stay tuned for the developments.
