Ashlee Simpson Reportedly Pregnant
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Pregnancies, Rumors,
I guess this calls for another round of congratulations?
According to Us Magazine, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz may have had more than one reason to get engaged. The couple is also reportedly pregnant.
The two confirmed the nuptial news last week, sometime after the Fall Out Boy star asked papa Joe for approval. (Assuming the rumor is true, I doubt the patriarch was really given much of a choice.)
I must say, this pregnancy probably couldn’t have come at a much better time for the Simpson clan. As it is, I think both Ashlee and Jessica have more than enough time in their career schedules to watch over the babe.

Despite earlier reports that Pat O’Brien would be leaving his post on The Insider, it seems the show’s producers are being forced to return to square one.
For some time, it appeared that Donny Osmond was being groomed to be Lara Spencer‘s new co-host. Unfortunately, the performer decided he didn’t want to commit to anything more than just an interim position. Realizing the entertainment program would not work with a solo anchor alone, the Insider‘s execs opted to give the recently rehabbed frontman one more try.
Come next Monday, we’ll get to see the refreshed Pat on air once again. What we won’t see is him standing next to Spencer. For the time being, O’Brien will do his share from Los Angeles while Lara continues her hosting duties from New York. Apparently keeping him in California is the best thing for his sobriety. (He really should be within driving distance of Promises.)

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz Now Engaged
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements,
I believe we have officially hit the trifecta now. In the past 24 hours, we’ve had a broken engagement, a dissolved divorce and now a marriage-to-be.
These two lovebirds hinted a short time ago that this day would come, and now it finally has: Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are officially engaged.
Back in February, Ashlee said her promise ring simply meant her beau hadn’t asked her father for permission yet. (I’m guessing that exchange has already happened and that Pete made it out alive.)
In a statement to her fans, Ashlee said:
“Yes, we are thrilled to share that we are happily engaged. Thank you for all of your support and well wishes – it means the world to us. We consider this to be a very private matter, and we wanted to be the first to tell you and to hear it straight from us.”
While I definitely have opinions about a 23-year-old and a 28-year-old getting married these days, I will keep them to myself. The best of luck to them both.

Speaking of Robin Wright Penn, I just realized that Gwyneth Paltrow‘s new do makes the Iron Man actress look a lot like her.
No wonder Gwyneth looks so much better now.

Are Sean and Robin Wright Penn Back Together?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Divorce, Breaking News,
We’ve surely seen some strange relationship news over the past two days.
Although he just recently went public with model Petra Nemcova, it appears Sean Penn may be closing the chapter on his bachelor lifestyle. According to Extra, the actor and his wife, Robin Wright Penn, have had a change of heart about their upcoming divorce.
The couple announced back in December that they would be putting an end to their long-running marriage. The actors, wed since 1996, have two children together - Hopper Jack, 14, and Dylan Frances, 17.

Engagement Over for Mary-Louise Parker
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups, Engagements, Breaking News,
I give up. I’m not sure when Mary-Louise Parker will get her happy ending now.
Just two months after I congratulated the Weeds actress for her engagement, People magazine reports the blissful period is sadly over. For reasons currently unknown, she and co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan have already called it quits. Hopefully this decision will finally put an end to the former couple’s on-again, off-again relationship.
Now Parker has a highly-publicized breakup with Billy Crudup and a broken engagement to Morgan under her belt. Luckily, the mother of two has much more important things to attend to.

More Celebrity Hair Changes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Hair Styles, Photos, Editorials,
A few days ago, I wrote about a certain group of actresses who I thought were in need of a hair change. A lack of experimentation had those women stuck in a serious styling rut.
While I’m still waiting to see if my listed few will actually get around to surprising me, several other celebrities have come out of the woodwork recently to sport their new spring ‘dos. Although some tweaks came out better than others, I applaud every single one of them for at least trying.
1. Ben Stiller (The grey hair was what he had before he showed up at The Ruins premiere.)

Kylie Minogue Talks About Misdiagnosed Cancer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television,
On yesterday’s episode of Ellen, singer Kylie Minogue opened up about something she had never spoken about before. Although her battle with breast cancer was quite public, her original misdiagnosis wasn’t.
As it was, the performer went in for a check-up right before the start of her 2005 concert tour only to be told that “everything was fine.” Three years later, she is currently in remission.
“Because someone’s in a big white coat and using big medical instruments, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right.”
Well, Kylie—let us just say that you are looking absolutely fabulous today. We wish the best of luck to you.

Rehab Star Cut Off
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Where Are They Now?,
Although she seemed very determined to quit her boozing ways, Mary Carey is apparently still having problems quitting the bottle altogether.
The former porn star was one of several celebrities who opened up about their troubled pasts on the recent season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Carey voluntarily checked herself in hoping to separate herself from that segment of the film industry and to stop her destructive drinking.
Unfortunately, the 27-year-old was reportedly seen downing a glass of wine in New York last week. When a member of a restaurant staff recognized her, she was later cut off. Despite her slip-up, Mary later claimed that she was “37 days” sober. (Apparently things made from grapes don’t count?)
While we’d like to think that she has been sober for longer (the show started airing in January), we sadly realize rehab stories do not all end well. Here’s to hoping that Carey’s recent incident was only just a minor bump on her road to good health.

Carrie Underwood’s Text Message Breakup
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups,
While I’m certain that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened, it may be the first time we’ve heard a celebrity publicly admit that they’ve ended a relationship this way.
After an Idol Gives Back taping yesteday, former American Idol star Carrie Underwood opened up to Extra about her recently publicized breakup.
The country singer told Simon Cowell‘s girlfriend that she and her Gossip Girl beau (Chace Crawford) ended on a very anti-climactic note. It was all done via text message. (You can see that interview here.)
“It was completely mutual. We broke up like over text…it was like ‘peace out’. Like, I don’t know. It just didn’t work. We both know it didn’t work. And, no hard feelings at all whatsoever. No big deal.”
I must say, although she kept repeating it was ‘no big deal’, she did seem awfully bitter to me.
