Gap Proceeds with Jennifer Hudson Ad Spots
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Music, Photos,
The day after Halloween, the Christmas season began. It will not end until January (decorations and store returns linger for days after the actual event). And since retailers are constantly trying to skip Halloween altogether and start the buy-friendly holiday as early as September, the Gap has moved ahead with their ad campaign. In the ads, potential customers will see a smiling, red-swathed Jennifer Hudson spreading her holiday spirit. For some viewers, it feels at odds with Hudson’s tragic personal tragedy.
Could the Gap really be this tacky?
Never worry, holiday shoppers, this mega retailer would never step into a potential PR landmine without covering all the bases. A rep for the chain has confirmed that Jennifer Hudson herself approved the use of her image, even at this upsetting time.
“She said she wanted to be a part of it and that we should move forward,” said Gap spokesperson Olive Doyne, who added that Hudson was given the option of backing out of the campaign completely. The Oscar-winning actress was photographed for the spots last July.
You can see her, part of the “Shine Your Own Star” campaign, smiling from magazines, newspapers and billboards throughout this shopping season. Several other stars are also part of the campaign.

Joe Jonas Responds: “I Never Cheated”
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Break-ups,
With the news of his relationship with Camilla Belle now out, Joe Jonas has been forced to go on the defense.
In a recent post on the Jonas Brothers’ MySpace page, the 19-year-old tries to address many of the questions currently being posed. While he doesn’t deny leaving Taylor Swift for another girl (he actually doesn’t even mention the country singer by name), he does deny ever cheating on her. Jonas also claims the infamous “27-second” phone call wasn’t his fault. (Apparently he thought Swift would had something more to say after hearing “I’m interested in someone else.”)
You can read Joe’s version of the story in its entirety after the jump.

William Shatner Still Talking About George Takei
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Rivalries, Videos,
Here we go again…
Just a few weeks ago, Star Trek‘s William Shatner hit YouTube to explain why George Takei kept him out of his September nuptials. His theory? Sulu has some sort of “psychosis.” Shortly thereafter, Takei spoke to Entertainment Tonight and denied the snub. He did invite his co-worker after all; William simply didn’t bother to RSVP.
Well - Bill, being Bill, just couldn’t let someone else have the last word…hence the new video he recently posted. In it, Captain Kirk once again claims that Takei is “out of touch of reality” but then also questions why George is “so mean” to him.
If he’s really sooo delusional, William, why do you care what he thinks about you?
Taylor Swift Loses Joe Jonas to Camilla Belle

UPDATE: You can read Joe Jonas’ side of the story here.
NOTE TO THE LADIES: If a man spends less than 30 seconds breaking up with you, it’s probably because he already has someone waiting in the wings.
Back in early October, Joe Jonas put an end to his high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift. Despite several public outings, the 19-year-old eventually gave the country star the boot over the phone. Now it appears he might have had his eyes set on someone a little less blonde.

Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff: DWTS’ Latest Couple
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Hook-ups,
Over the past seven seasons, Dancing with the Stars has had its share of interesting relationships. We’ve seen celebrity/instructor couplings (Sabrina Bryan/Mark Ballas, Mario Lopez/Karina Smirnoff, Shannon Elizabeth/Derek Hough), married pros (Alec Mazo/Edyta Sliwinska, Jonathan Roberts/Anna Trebunskaya), father/son competitors (Corky Ballas/Mark Ballas) and sibling rivalries (Julianne Hough/Derek Hough). But we haven’t yet heard of any romances between the ballroom professionals, at least up until now.

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.

Sarah Palin: No Alaska for Hot New Media Star
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Rumors, Where Are They Now?,
Sarah Palin came onto the election scene much later than John McCain, President-elect Barack Obama or Vice President-elect Joe Biden - but she instantly became the media’s favorite contender. New gossip suggests that Palin may not pack her bags to head back home right away…she just might have some gigs lined up in Tinseltown first.
A spokesman for Random House (one of the biggest publishing houses in the biz) told the New York Post’s Page Six that “there are several of our imprints who are eager to talk to Governor Palin. She clearly has a constituency and we know books by conservatively-centered politicos usually sell very, very well.” So she might as well take more jobs away from the real writers of the world.
Other gossip hints that Palin could be offered a slot as a TV pundit (I’ve got money riding on this one - I just know FOX News Channel would do damn near anything to have her) or even as a talk-show host.
Sure, that makes sense.

Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty No Longer Together
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Break-ups,
After months of topless boat rides, camera dodging and graffiti removal, the summer lovin’ between Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty has come to an end.
In an interview with Us Weekly, the 26-year-old actress confirmed that she is currently without a man. (The operative word here being “currently.”)
“I’m single at the moment, and I’m completely happy with that,” Miller said at a recent London engagement. “It’s nice not to have a relationship that the press constantly want to scrutinize and discuss. I’m cool with being on my own.”
Now if she was so “cool” being alone—why did she choose to get involved with a married man? Just asking.

Bachelorette Deanna Pappas Calls Off Engagement
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Break-ups,
Although it looked like there might be one more Bachelorette walking down the aisle, another ABC star has just called off her engagement. Nearly four months after giving her heart to Jesse Csincsak, DeAnna Pappas has put herself back out on the market.
The jilted suitor first announced the not-so-surprising news (did anyone really expect it was going to last?) through the couple’s joint website. In a now-deleted video, Csincsak said Pappas put it quite simply: “I love you, but I’m not in love with you.”
