Tom Cruise: Self-Proclaimed Great Parent
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars,
Tom Cruise is “fortunate to have the teenagers and two and a half-year-old” daughter he has fathered, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t like to add more to the crew in the future. In an interview with The Sun, he talks about raising a toddler and teenagers at the same time.
“She’s so beautiful, she’s just great,” Cruise says of little Suri Cruise, a favorite among the paps (she appears in more mags than her famous father). Perhaps it’s because the small tot is “so charming,” as her proud papa says.
In the interview, Tom Cruise calls himself a “great parent,” saying “my family is the most important thing in my life.”

Honeymoon’s Over for Kate Walsh and Hubby
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Divorce,
After only 15 months of marriage, Kate Walsh‘s husband is calling it quits. Alex Young, a production co-president at 20th Century Fox, initiated the split citing the cliched “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. The filed court documents state November 22 as the official date of separation. (Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like divorce papers.)
The 41-year-old Private Practice star wed the film exec last September after a whirlwind courtship. The two met back in February 2007 and were quickly engaged three months later. It was at that same time people started questioning their relationship’s future.
According to a rep for both parties, the couple “remain on friendly terms and sincerely hope the media will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

Britney Spears is finally getting good headlines and positive gossip. She’s got an album that’s sure to be hit, a tour that’s going to be a success and a documentary that’s going to be re-ran about seven hundred times. But she’s also got an ex-husband who’s got a voice of his own - one that’s sure to be heard.
Kevin Federline has recently opened up about Brit and the past in an interview with People magazine. The father of four (Shar Jackson is the mother of Kori, 6, and Kaleb, 4, Britney the mother of Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2) has been brought up in conversation by Spears several times recently. Now, he’s going to go on the record when it comes to her.

Quickie Divorce for Madonna and Guy Ritchie
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce,
What took 7 1/2 years to build ended in less than a minute.
Earlier today in a London court, a judge granted Madonna and Guy Ritchie a preliminary divorce decree. Assuming no issues come up, their marriage will officially be over in six weeks and a day.
This morning’s proceeding - which was not attended by either by either party or their lawyers - lasted approximately 54 seconds. Their case was sixth on a list that included 16 other couples.
According to the petition filed by Madonna, “unreasonable behavior” was cited as the reason for divorce. According to the Daily Telegraph, that is an option often used for “quickie” resolutions. The alternatives for divorce are “adultery, a five-year separation or for one partner to have deserted the other for at least two years.”
Although Guy could have walked away with a substantial portion of his ex’s fortune, the director has reportedly decided to settle for their estate in Wiltshire and a pub they own in the Mayfair area.

Nicole Kidman Makes a Plea to Katie Holmes: Have a Kid
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Pregnancies,
Nicole Kidman, 41, isn’t planning on having any more children - at least, not any time soon. But she definitely thinks current Cruise wife Katie Holmes should.
In a recent interview with Glamour magazine, the titian-haired star said that son Connor Cruise, 13, who was adopted by Kidman jointly with ex-hubby Tom, is longing for a kid brother. She said that he “would like one of us to have a boy.”
And since TomKat already has a little girl, Suri Cruise, Katie Holmes seems like the perfect choice to give Conner a male sibling - at least, as far as Nicole is concerned. “He wants that boy,” she stated to the magazine. “Katie?”
Sounds like your womb has been summoned to duty, Holmes.

Britney Spears Opens Up in MTV Documentary
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Videos,
What do Barack Obama and Britney Spears have in common? They both have plans to deliver their own message in separate primetime specials.
To help promote her sixth album (and to show the world that she’s finally back on track), Britney Spears will open up her life for an upcoming MTV documentary. The feature - titled Britney: For the Record - will give fans behind-the-scenes access into the pop star’s life. Shot over a three-month period, the 90-minute piece includes video of Spears in the recording studio and preparing for the VMAs.
In the doc (which can be previewed after the jump), the revamped 26-year-old will also candidly address the craziness from the past couple of years. Britney hopes this special will allow her to tell her side of the stories.

Old Hollywood Princess Dethrones Cruise
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Divorce, Weddings, Editorials,
Lauren Bacall shimmied onscreen in the 1940s, gaining immediate attention for her glamorous look and throaty, sultry voice. She worked with Hollywood’s greatest stars and sexiest leading men. She even married infinite screen hunk Humphrey Bogart, inspiring the jealousy of many a movie going female. She is truly Old Hollywood royalty - and this matriarch isn’t too happy with at least one member of La La Land’s younger (than her) generation. More to the point, she’s got a big problem with Tom Cruise.
“Tom Cruise is a maniac,” Bacall is quoted in a recent Elle magazine article. “I can’t understand the way he conducts his life,” admits the former screen siren. Bacall also talks about Kidman’s split with Cruise, saying the actress was “unhappy” during filming for Dogville (2003).
“Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some (expletive deleted) thing - one of his more ridiculous moves,” she recalls.
Nicole Kidman, always gracious, did not speak harshly of her ex in the article, talking mainly about her “profound” love with country crooner Keith Urban and her belief in the love between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Good thing you believe it, Nicole, because a lot of the public thinks it’s full of hooey. Apparently, screen legend Lauren Bacall thinks it’s simply Tom Cruise who’s full of hooey.
