And to think they bumped Mario Lopez for this…
Although Katie Holmes’ is apparently getting a sizable paycheck for her Broadway debut, ticket sales have reportedly been underwhelming. According to the New York Post, advance purchases for All My Sons have not yet reached the $1 million mark. In comparison, when Tom’s last wife (a.k.a. Nicole Kidman) hit the stage, The Blue Room raked in $4 million before opening night. (And that was at 1998 prices!)
Of course, both ladies have to take a back seat to Julia Roberts’ 2006 stint; tickets for Three Days of Rain were snapped up in just one day.
So if you have the free time and $300 to spare, it sounds like you may have your choice of seats to jump on this September.

Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez Split
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Rumors,
UPDATE: Rose’s rep denies that there has been an end to either their relationship or their joint film projects.
Less than a year after becoming engaged, Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez have supposedly called it quits. Just days ago, it was reported the Charmed actress would take on the remake of Red Sonja, a film to be produced by Rodriguez.
Rose first met a then-married Robert when the two worked on the film Grindhouse. Although the couple denied the accusations, it was rumored that McGowan caused the end of her director’s 16-year marriage.
During their relationship, the Planet Terror star has had her name linked to several Rodriguez projects, the most notable one being Barbarella. Unfortunately, it’s controversy behind the Jane Fonda update that may have brought their bliss to a grinding halt.

Angelina Jolie Doing Well in Hospital
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Rumors,
UPDATE: Entertainment Tonight has finally acknowledged that it was previously ‘given false information’ about the twins’ birth.
A news conference held earlier today told Entertainment Tonight something that program didn’t what to hear: Angelina Jolie has not had her babies…yet.
The media’s presence in the South of France has grown ever since the actress checked into the hospital earlier this week. But according to the facility’s rep, the 33-year-old’s stay had been “planned for a long time.”
During Tuesday’s presser in France, Jolie’s obstetrician told photographers they’ll have to patient if they want to stalk the family; the newborns will be welcomed sometime “in the weeks to come.” In the meantime, outlets shouldn’t fill time speculating about Angelina’s current condition.
“Everything is normal. She is very well, and she’s okay. ... Brad and Angelina want everyone to know that everything is going well.”
So Mary Hart—do you think ET will finally get around to printing that retraction now?

Madonna Denies Divorce Plans
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Rumors,
Despite talk of missing bands and affairs with baseball players, Madonna’s publicist insists the singer’s marriage is not in trouble.
In an exclusive statement to People, Liz Rosenberg said, “Madonna’s husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving). There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce.”
This denial comes after a few days worth of heated gossip. Just this past weekend, Madonna and Guy Ritchie were seen attending separate kabbalah centers in different countries. Then there were the shots of the ringless fingers. (Older pictures have since proven that the two are known to not wear them.) Now Us Magazine is reporting that the singer has been spending a lot of time with Alex Rodriguez.

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.

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?

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.

Bill Murray Divorce Finalized
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce, Legal Issues,
What could possibly be more surprising than hearing Bill Murray is a drug-addicted, abusive adulterer? Hearing that his divorce has already been finalized!
What was gearing up to be one of the nastiest settlements in Hollywood ended quietly and quickly two weeks ago - just one month after Jennifer Butler Murray filed the initial paperwork. Bill’s wife of nearly 11 years began divorce proceedings back in May citing “adultery, addiction to marijuana and alcohol, abusive behavior, sexual addictions and frequent abandonment” amongst her reasons. Jennifer also sought a restraining order at that time claiming the Groundhog Day star had been physically abusive to her.

Brangelina Does Another Good Deed to Make Us Feel Bad
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Charity,
Are you expecting your 5th and 6th child? Have you recently purchased a $60 million castle? Well, then you’re probably cutting back on some of your other expenses. But then again, you’re probably not Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.
Today, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict announced that the saintly couple has generously donated a cool $1 million to its organization. Once distributed, the funds will help children - American and Iraqi - affected by the war overseas. (As if the couple didn’t have enough kids to worry about.)
In a statement, Pitt said he wants their gesture to inspire more acts of charity. “We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations.”
Ugh. Could these two possible make me love/hate them more?
