Baseball star Alex Rodriguez, better know as A-Rod, bought actress Kate Hudson a flashy Louis Vuitton bauble, which features rich diamonds and pink sapphires, and is set in a white gold band.
As is becoming a celebrity trend, a source says the gift is not an engagement ring, but rather a commemoration of the New York Yankees winning the World Series earlier this month.
“It’s a beautiful piece of jewelry. Alex has a World Series ring, and now Kate does too,” says the source.
The 30-year-old actress and daughter of Goldie Hawn has dealt with engagement rumors quite a bit. Recently, she started a media frenzy after being photographed wearing a diamond sparkler on her engagement finger.
“Did you know that the ring was actually on my right hand?” she said. “I'm like, 'Why would I even respond? What would I say if you're going to lie about something ridiculous?'”
Yesterday, during an appearance on Oprah, Hudson kept the details of her relationship private.
Penelope Cruz has been very, very secretive about the status of her relationship with Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem. Although strong rumors persist that the couple is engaged and set to marry very soon, the pair refuse to shed light on the situation.
Penelope was on The Late Show on Tuesday to promote her new film Broken Embraces. When Letterman began questioning her about a potential marriage between her and Bardem, she shrugged off the questions. When pressed, she simply told him that she doesn’t “feel comfortable” talking about this issue.
“I’ve been here a few times with you,” she said. “You know I’m tough. One thing I don’t do, I don’t lie about my personal life.”
She explained that her love life and privacy are “sacred” and that she doesn’t “give details about it because I am allergic to that.” Letterman responded: “So you know, but you don’t want to tell me?” Cruz, laughing, said “I choose not to share some things!”
Rumors of a marriage between Cruz and Bardem have been persisting for a while now. The buzz grew even bigger in October when Penelope stepped onto the red carpet displaying a huge diamond ring.
As if super-couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie don’t have enough on their plate, now they’re designing diamond jewelry… and serpent-themed jewelry at that.
The duo has teamed up with top British Jeweler Asprey to release a series of serpent-themed designs, which include earrings, pendants, bangles, rings, silver spoons and an egg cup.
Being the charitable pair they are, Brad and Angelina will give 100% of the net proceeds to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. Already, the couple has donated $1 million in June 2008 through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
The inspiration for the jewelry comes from the time Angelina was pregnant with daughter Shiloh in 2006. She was given a gift that was to serve as a protective guardian – a snake ring. “Since then she has seen the snake symbol as a protective talisman for her family,” says a source at Asprey.
The jewelry line started as something for children, but has gradually developed into the limited edition Protector Collection of high end jewelry. However, the collection still includes items for children, including a tooth box and silver egg cup.
This past Saturday, Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill exchanged wedding rings with singer Jessie Baylin in an outdoor ceremony in Brentwood, Tennessee.
On Sunday morning, Followill Tweeted: “I woke up with a married woman in my bed this morning. Luckily she was mine.”
The wedding took place at Brentwood's Wolf Den Farm, followed by dinner and dancing in a barn on the property. Dinner was catered by Nashville restaurant Miel. Not surprisingly, the couple's first dance was to an instrumental Hawaiian lap steel guitar number.
“It was a gorgeous 70 degree day and the wedding was beautiful. It was a very love-affirming wedding with lots of warmth and happiness,” said a spokesperson.
Guests included Followill's Kings of Leon bandmates and brothers Caleb and Jared Followill, plus bandmate and cousin Matthew Followill. Also in attendance was Scarlett Johansson, who went to high school with the bride, and country singer Billy Currington.
Nathan, 30, met Jessie, 25, at Bonnaroo 2006. She is a singer/songwriter signed to Verve Records.
The night before the wedding, Followill Tweeted: “This time tomorrow night I will be wearing some new jewelry. I'm so excited for tomorrow. A new day, a new life, and a new wife. Thanks Jess.”
According to Los Angeles court papers, Brandi Glanville says she cannot afford to buy the basic necessities like food and gas because her estranged husband, Eddie Cibrian, control her means of finance, specifically her credit cards.
Glanville, 36, is a former model. Upon exchanging wedding rings with Cibrian, she became a full-time mom. She is requesting at least $39,963 in monthly support from her estranged husband: $11,942 to cover her mortgage, $4,000 for eating out, $3,000 for clothes, $1,500 for child care, $750 for Pilates and another $750 for massages and facials, among other needs. Cibrian filed for divorce after going public about his relationship with country star LeAnn Rimes.
Regarding divorce in California, spouses have a legal right to ask the higher earner to support the lifestyle they were accustomed to during the marriage. Glanville, who's unemployed, claims that Cibrian makes $60,000 gross per week from CSI: Miami.
Glanville accuses Cibrian of cutting her off financially because he's lowered her card's credit limit, and has stopped allowing cash advances on it.
“It has been very difficult and humiliating, not to mention disruptive to the children, for me to have my credit card declined at the supermarket,” she laments.
Looks like eHarmony and Jdate has some stiff competition. No, I’m not talking about Match.com or any of the other trillion online dating sites – I’m talking about good old Twitter. It seems that Actress Emmy Rossum met her current boyfriend, Counting Crows singer Adam Duritz, through a Tweet.
“I was on tour with the band this summer. They invited me actually on Twitter,” Rossum explained on the radio show Valentine in the Morning this past Thursday. “That's how we met – on a dare. They dared me to come sing with them a song that I'd never sung before … So I ended up on tour with the band, and it was very, very fun.”
Their relationship became public this fall after they'd been spotted together on several occasions. Rossum, 23, split from husband Justin Siegel in August, although their marriage wasn’t really known about. Commenting about her privacy, Rossum said “It's hard to have a private life and keep it private and hope that people don't pick you apart.”
Regarding her divorce, she says “I'm not asking for anything except freedom so that I can move on to another chapter in my life, and find happiness.”
Well, it seems she has indeed found happiness with Adam. Although there are no plans as of yet, the couple could exchange wedding rings soon.
Ron Livingston, the sublime actor who stared in Mike Judge’s hysterical comedy Office Space, has exchanged wedding rings with longtime girlfriend, actress Rosemarie DeWitt.
According to PEOPLE, Livingston and DeWitt married last Monday, November 2, in a ceremony held in San Francisco. Details surrounding the event have been scarce.
Ron and Rosemarie first met on the set of FOX series, Standoff. Although the show was short-lived, the pair decided to go into it for the long haul. They went out for three years before deciding to tie the knot.
DeWitt is a regular on Showtime’s The United States of Tara, stared in season 1 of AMC’s Mad Men as Don Draper’s mistress, and appeared on the big screen in Rachel getting Married.
Livingston played Carrie Bradshaw’s short-term boyfriend in Sex and the City. His Character, Burger, famously broke up with her on a post-it note. His greatest role was as protagonist Peter Gibbons in Mike Judge’s 1999 comedy Office Space.
Well, it seems like another rock giant has fallen. After 40 years of recording, touring, and being one of the biggest bands in the world, Aerosmith have disbanded. Lead singer Steven Tyler has quit his position as front man, and no one, including guitarist Joe Perry, knows when, or if, he’ll be back again.
Rumors about Aerosmith going on hiatus have been circulating for quite a while now, especially in the wake of concert cancellations, injuries, and endless postponements. In August, Steven broke his shoulder after falling off stage during a concert. Since then Tyler has withdrawn his interest and diminished his contact with the other members of the band, says Perry.
“Steven quit as far as I can tell. I don’t know any more than you do about it. I got off the plane two nights ago. I saw online that Steven said that he was going to leave the band. I don’t know for how long, indefinitely or whatever. Other than that, I don’t know,” Perry confessed.
Lack of communication may be the demise of Aerosmith, according to Perry.
I’m starting to actually feel bad for Lindsay Lohan. Her father, Michael Lohan, has been doing the rounds, talking publicly about his daughter’s drug problems. Recently, he has taken to releasing audio tapes exploiting his daughter’s weaknesses. Talk about father of the year.
On Thursday, Lindsay claimed on her Twitter page that Michael used to threaten to kill his ex-wife, Dina, if she ever left him. The couple exchanged wedding rings in 1985. Michael denied the allegations and responded by accusing hid daughter of lying and wasting her god-given talent.
“That's a lie,” he says. “I guess Lindsay is on more drugs than I thought to say something like that … No wonder why God is taking her entire career away from her. Because she's forsaken everything He's given her and she's done nothing but misuse all the gifts she's given.”
On Thursday, Michael released a new audio tape to radarOnline. The tape was supposedly recorded in September 2008 and includes a conversation with Dina about the difficulty of getting Lindsay into rehab. “She'd like, punch me in the face, kick me out of the car ... like you don't know the [expletive] I went through,” Dina is heard saying.
Michael claims that leaking these tapes is meant to pressure Lindsay into seeking treatment for addiction. Earlier he released a tape in which Lindsay can be heard crying and saying “No one cares about me.”
An Atlanta stripper recently confessed to having a one-night stand with actor Josh Duhamel. The problem? Duhamel exchanged wedding rings with Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas in January of this year.
Both Duhamel and Fergie have denied the allegation wholeheartedly. “This is not the first nor will it be the last time that a stripper was paid a large amount of money to sell a false story about a celebrity,” says Duhamel's rep. “This story is absolutely ridiculous.” A rep for Fergie adds: “These allegations are nonsense.”
In a recent interview, stripper Nicole Forrester says she had sex with Duhamel in an Atlanta hotel shortly after he came into the Tattletale club, her place of employment. Forrester claims she has text messages and a successful polygraph test to confirm her story.
“We did hook up and had lots of sex and we had a really, really good time,” Forrester told Atlanta radio station Q100's ‘Bert Show’ this Monday.
Forrester sold her story to the National Enquirer for more than $20,000. She now claims she regrets the decision because her daughter, 10, and son, 13, had no idea she was a stripper until she came forward.
