Beyonce and Jay-Z Now Married
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Weddings, Rumors,
Although no official announcement has been released, all signs indicate that Beyoncé Knowles, 26, and rapper Jay-Z, 38, are now indeed married.
After the two were spotted securing a marriage license earlier this week, it was just simply a matter of when. The couple’s decision to wed on Friday night (4/4) may have been a matter of the date’s significance. She was born on September 4th; he on December 4th.
According to online reports, the musicians apparently had a small private ceremony earlier in the evening before a much bigger bash that night. (Tents erected on the roof of Shawn Carter’s Tribeca apartment building indicated something was going to happen.) Several celebrities - including the girls from Destiny’s Child and Gwyneth Paltrow - were also seen in the area.
Well, until they come out and fully admit the news - I’m going to go ahead and congratulate them anyway. Cheers!

New Kids Back to the Old Routine
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: D-List, Music, Breaking News, Where Are They Now?,
Sure, I listened to the New Kids on the Block. I was a young girl in the 90s - find me another like myself who didn’t listen to this band. They rocketed to success, blazed a trail for all the boy bands which came after them, and sold 70 million albums while swinging their legs back and forth and wearing ripped-up jeans. I mean, what says superstars quite like that?
Now they’re all almost forty, and they’re going to attempt to do it (or…something sort of like it) again. Honestly, plainly, I’ve never been into aging rockers. I admire bands like The Rolling Stones and performers like Paul McCartney and sure I think they’re great, but there’s also something a little sad about almost-geriatric singers still playing an electric guitar (don’t believe me? Did you see the Super Bowl halftime show?).

Remember when Tom Cruise was a truly A-list star, Hollywood royalty, and possibly the hunkiest hunk around? Now, he’s a type of weed. And yes, I am talking about that kind of weed.
According to gossip, Cruise has a big chip on his shoulder because a medical marijuana facility is marketing a certain type of the drug as “Tom Cruise Purple,” even using his likeness to push the product. If the smoke gets people half as high as Cruise seemed when he jumped on Oprah’s couch, it’s sure to become a hit.

Bobby Brown Dishes About Whitney and Drugs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Divorce, Drugs,
Thanks to Being Bobby Brown, the public already knows a lot more than they wanted to about the music industry’s Most Troubled Couple. So really, what more could Bobby Brown say now?
Well, apparently a lot more. In an upcoming tell-all, the New Edition singer pulls no punches about his less than angelic past. But will pro-Whitney Houston fans believe what he has to say?
According to the New York Post, the musician basically blames his history with cocaine on the turbulent union. (Marijuana had been his drug of choice.) In Bobby Brown: Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing, he also admits that people may have been right to question the couple’s longevity from the start.

New Kids on the Today Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Where Are They Now?,
Sorry, ladies. There was no actual ‘performance’ from the New Kids on the Block this morning. (You’ll have to wait until May 16th for that.) But here’s your chance to see if the men at least physically held up over the years.
Although I knew this day would eventually come, I still have a hard time believing it’s finally happened. Mariah Carey has just now surpassed The King.
Mariah’s latest single, Touch My Body, just became the Number One song on Billboard’s Hot 100. This achievement gives the 38-year-old singer a total of eighteen #1 hits on those charts, edging her right past Elvis Presley. (He was holding reign at 17.) With a few more years under her belt, she may one day pass The Beatles as well. (The Fab Four clock in at 20 toppers.)
While I will fully admit that I like many of Carey’s songs, I find it strange to even think of her musical library being in the same realm as those two legends. Will her songs eventually stand the test of time? Which one of her singles could possibly compare to something like Let It Be or Can’t Help Falling in Love?
Carey’s next album, E=MC2, will be released on April 16.

Beyonce and Jay-Z: Headed to the Altar?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Engagements, Rumors,
Could this simply be an April Fool’s joke…or is that what they’d like you to believe?
According to People, Beyonce and Jay-Z have finally taken the next step in their relationship: They’ve secured a marriage license. A source tells the magazine that the lovebirds - who have been together since 2002 - obtained the paperwork earlier today in Scarsdale, New York.
Assuming the rumors are true, that means we should probably expect to hear wedding bells for the musicians sometime very soon. The license hits its expiration date in 60 days.

Did Heath Ledger Have Another Child?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Celebrity Babies, Rumors,
Just when you thought he could finally rest in peace…
Although Heath Ledger‘s passing happened over two months ago, the star is still garnering news…and he has his family to thank for most of it.
After it was revealed that the Brokeback Mountain star did not provide for his daughter, Matilda, in his outdated will, Heath’s father assured everyone that the 2-year-old would be taken care of. Unfortunately, this announcement forced Kim Ledger’s estranged brothers to come out of the woodwork and cry foul. Apparently Heath’s pop was previously accused of mishandling another relative’s estate when he was appointed overseer.
Now there’s the chance that another party could shake up matters a bit more. A possible love child.

Britney Spears: Next PETA Employee?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Charity, Breaking News,
Now, I’ve heard it all. It may be April first, but this is not a joke….at least, I don’t think it is. Animal rights group PETA was so blown away by seeing Britney Spears on How I Met Your Mother that the group has offered her a job. No, not as a spokesperson. As a receptionist.
Spears would be given $1000, to be donated to a children’s charity, if she were to accept the gig, offered to her by the very group which has lambasted her in the past. PETA sent Spears a letter dated March 27, 2008. According the letter, this job could last for only an hour, giving Brit the opportunity to see what they (PETA employees) deal with every day and why animal rights are so very important. The letter reads: “You will see firsthand the problems that we deal with every day. You would be able to help the cats and dogs who linger in animal shelters because people have chosen to buy animals from breeders or pet stores.”
