Is Hugh Hefner Also Dating Dasha Astafieva?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Rumors,
Back before news of twin blondes existed, there were rumors of a dark-haired beauty in Hugh Hefner’s life. Now the Playboy founder hints about a possible new roomie in the mansion.
At a party for the magazine’s 55th anniversary edition, Hugh proudly showed off the issue’s January 2009 Playmate. (Those who regularly watch The Girls Next Door know Holly was the one responsible for introducing Dasha - and the Shannon girls - to her ex.) When asked by E! if the Ukranian model would be moving into the famous Los Angeles quarters, Hef replied, “Do you think we’re gonna let her get away?”
So does this mean Kristina and Karissa will be fighting with a much better-looking woman for their new boyfriend’s attention? That’s an episode I wouldn’t want to miss!

Michael Jackson is deathly ill, says InTouch Magazine
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Breaking News, Rumors,
While Michael Jackson is typically the punchlines of all sorts of jokes, he is now in a very serious condition, if InTouch sources are to be believed. The magazine is reporting that Michael Jackson is suffering from the rare genetic disease Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
award-winning investigative journalist Ian Halperin tells In Touch that he believes that the King of Pop is fighting for is life. “Michael has a very severe lung condition called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency,” Halperin, a New York Times best-selling author, tells In Touch exclusively. “He’s had it for years but it’s gotten worse. He needs a lung transplant but may be too weak to go through with it. He also has emphysema and chronic gastrointestinal bleeding, which his doctors have had a lot of trouble stopping. It’s the bleeding that is the most problematic part. It could kill him.
Needing a transplant, but being too weak to get one done, is never a good combination. Couple that with chronic bleeding, and there is cause for much concern. And, of course, there is more on the actual disease itself.

Honeymoon’s Over for Kate Walsh and Hubby
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Divorce,
After only 15 months of marriage, Kate Walsh‘s husband is calling it quits. Alex Young, a production co-president at 20th Century Fox, initiated the split citing the cliched “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. The filed court documents state November 22 as the official date of separation. (Nothing says “Happy Holidays” like divorce papers.)
The 41-year-old Private Practice star wed the film exec last September after a whirlwind courtship. The two met back in February 2007 and were quickly engaged three months later. It was at that same time people started questioning their relationship’s future.
According to a rep for both parties, the couple “remain on friendly terms and sincerely hope the media will respect their privacy during this difficult time.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Sports, Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
It’s time once again to congratulate those celebrities entering into parenthood:
Josh Holloway: Looks like Sawyer may now have a new reason to get off that island. Holloway and his wife, Yessica Kumala, have just announced that they are expecting their first child. The two were married back in 2004.
Kerri Walsh: If there ever was a good time for Misty May-Treanor to rupture her Achilles tendon, it would be now. Turns out her volleyball partner will also be sidelined thanks to a pregnancy! Walsh and her beach volleyball player hubby, Casey Jennings, are currently expecting their first child. Kerri believes they conceived only days after her recent gold medal win.

Hot Celebrity of the Day: Jennifer Lopez
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Clothing, Red Carpet, Style,
It’s not very often when someone can divert attention away from Angelina Jolie, but Jennifer Lopez - with help from Robert Cavalli - might have managed to do that last night.
At yesterday’s California premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, the 39-year-old did her best to make sure everyone knew who the hottest mother of twins around was. (I’m not saying she actually is, I’m just saying she tried.)

Obsessed with American Idol? In love with Paula Abdul designs? Or do you just want another reason to watch the Home Shopping Network? Now you can combine all these passions - and get some new jewelry, to boot.
According to Paula Abdul, she personally designs jewelry for each contestant on Idol. But the judge doesn’t stop there - anyone can see her designs if they just look hard enough. “I pretty much wear my jewelry all the time now, but I end up giving it away,” Abdul recently explained. She started making the jewelry back in 2002, when Idol first hit (and took over) the TV scene.
“I wanted something the kids could touch and feel to remind themselves that their talent got them here,” Abdul explained. The judge is no stranger to home shopping. Paula previously made a foray into QVC, selling some of her jewelry collection to home-buying fans.
Her new line, Forever Your Girl, will first appear on Saturday and feature products ranging from $29 to $200 (USD) in price.

Katie Holmes Speaks Out On Public “Misperception”
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Where Are They Now?,
In an upcoming issue of T: The New York Times Style Magazine, Katie Holmes talks about her life and, of course, her very famous husband. In the piece, Holmes says that her public image is nothing like the truth.
“There’s a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn’t have any control of her life,” Holmes says, “and that’s pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I’ve made choices in my life that have been very strong.”

Hot Celebrity of the Day: Kate Winslet
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Red Carpet, Style,
Last night, Kate Winslet quieted any talk about her recent spread in Vanity Fair.
The 33-year-old attended the New York premiere of her new movie in an outfit that made anyone forget the word airbrushing was ever uttered.
The mother-of-two either has one fantastic body…or the Herve Leger bandage dress is the best design invention of 2008. (I guess we’ll just have to check out her nude scenes in The Reader to find out.)
