Presidential contender John McCain isn’t going to let pithy messages from Paris Hilton keep him from the goal - making competitor Barack Obama seem like the lesser of two choices.
Today, many are busy laughing at Hilton’s recent comeback to John McCain’s political ads, but already the republican has issued a new anti-Obama spot. The new TV spot is in the same vein as the one which came before, wherein McCain likens Obama to celebrities like Hilton and Britney Spears.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies,
For today’s installment, we have Jack Black (at the March 2000 premiere of High Fidelity) on the left and Emile Hirsch (at the premiere of Pineapple Express) on the right.
(Make sure to check out more of our Celebrity Double-Takes here, here and here.)
If you’ve been trying to keep up with Katie Holmes’ latest hairstyle, it’s time to hit your stylist once again.
The actress who’ll be making her Broadway debut in All My Sons next month, showed off her shorter tresses in New York this week. Maybe she wanted to spend more time rehearsing and less time in front of the mirror?
So what do you think of Katie’s new look? Are you kind of missing her Joey Potter days?
Lisa Marie Presley Also Pregnant with Twins
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Pregnancies,
There’s definitely something in the water out there.
After months of speculation, Lisa Marie Presley has finally confirmed the obvious. Yes, she’s pregnant. And guess what? She too is expecting twins! The children - her first with husband Michael Lockwood - will be the singer’s third and fourth.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Priscilla Presley explained why her daughter kept mum until now:
“She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time, you know, and I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they’re having and when it’s time to make the announcement.”
And while I totally support a woman’s right to say what she wants, did Lisa Marie really have to wait this long before announcing her fall births? The 40-year-old’s rapid weight gain was the most conspicuous thing since Jennifer Lopez’s so-not-secret pregnancy.

Morgan Freeman Seriously Injured
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Breaking News,
UPDATE: The actor, who is reportedly in good spirits now, is suffering from a broken shoulder, broken elbow and shoulder damage.
As they say, bad luck comes in threes.
First there was Heath Ledger’s death. Then there was Christian Bale’s arrest. Now we’re learning of a serious accident for The Dark Knight‘s Morgan Freeman.
According to the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the actor and one other passenger were involved in rollover accident late last night. A vehicle the Oscar winner was driving reportedly left the roadway and flipped several times. Although the circumstances are still being investigated, it is not believed that drugs or alcohol were in any way involved.
Freeman - who was was heard talking and joking at the scene - was flown to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis where the 71-year-old is listed in serious condition. No status has been given for the other patient who was also airlifted.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal Deny Engagement
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Engagements, Rumors,
Over the weekend, the Daily Mail caused a stir when they announced that Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal would soon be married. According to the British paper, The Prince of Persia star reportedly told friends he was getting married sometime around his birthday (December 19).
“He told me he had proposed several times but she kept telling him she wanted to give their relationship more time. When he asked her again a couple of weeks ago, she finally said yes,” said the source.
Unfortunately, the lovebirds dashed our hopes when they quickly denied the nuptial news. In a statement given to People, reps for both stars said the story was simply a rumor. “They are not engaged, getting married or any of the reports.”
Okay - so while I wait for Ryan and Rachel to reunite, could someone please make sure to get these two moving along?

Conflicting Reports About Bernie Mac’s Health
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television,
UPDATE: As of August 7, Bernie is reportedly in stable condition and “responding well to treatment.”
Bernie Mac, the former star of The Bernie Mac Show, has been hospitalized for several days now for a case of pneumonia. Unfortunately, reports on how the comedian is faring varies from source to source.
This weekend, a rep for the Ocean’s Eleven star denied reports that the star had passed away. Publicist Danica Smith claimed the 50-year-old was responding well to treatment and was expected to go home soon. But a post in yesterday’s Chicago Sun-Times tells an entirely different story. A source close to the family tells the newspaper that Mac (a.k.a. Bernard McCullough) is actually in “very, very critical” condition.
Back in 2004, production on Mac’s FOX series halted while he was being treated for sarcoidosis. The chronic disease, which he had been diagnosed with earlier in his life, can inflame tissues. Although his hospitalization at that time had pneumonia ties, Smith says her client’s current medical issue is not sarcoidosis-reated.
Whatever the story, we sincerely wish Bernie a speedy recovery.

Although the newborns are only three weeks old, the two are already displaying their personalities. According to Brad, the babies are following along gender lines. “Viv is proving to resemble Ange in spirit, attitude and physicality… And Knox, he’s a bit of me.”

Lindsay Lohan Barks Back at LAPD’s Gay Remark
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Kind Acts, Legal Issues, Oops Videos, Paparazzi Videos, Oops Photos, Paparazzi Photos,
As celebrities like Eric Roberts, John Mayer, and Milo Ventimiglia pushed for a crack down on paparazzi laws earlier this week, LAPD Chief William Bratton shared his true feelings about the paparazzi to reporters:
“If you notice, since Britney started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody anymore, thank God, and evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don’t seem to have much of an issue.”
Despite whether it’s true or not, Lindsay wasn’t too happy with the police chief’s remark, stating that “Police chiefs shouldn’t get involved in everyone else’s business when it comes to their personal life. It’s inappropriate.”
Surprisingly, I’d have to agree with her for once. At the same time, one can argue that she is one of the major contributing factors (along with Britney and Paris) in the rise of crazed paparazzi, yet Bratton, in my opinion, really had no right to say what he did as a police official.

Breast Cancer Diagnosis for Christina Applegate
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Breaking News,
Saying the past few weeks have been difficult for Christina Applegate would be putting things mildly.
In early June, an ex-boyfriend of the Samantha Who? star was found dead after an apparent drug overdose. Now we’re learning that the actress has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Coincidentally (?), Applegate was recently announced as a participant of next month’s Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon.
Today, the 36-year-old’s rep confirmed the medical report to the media:
“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor-ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.”
No announcement has been made so far as to how this may affect production on Applegate’s ABC comedy. Samantha is currently scheduled to return on October 6.
