Yes, it’s another story about Jon Gosselin. I guess this is why he’s still famous for doing pretty much nothing. This time it has to do with him being Jewish… well, half-Jewish… according to him.
Jon is currently dating Hailey Glassman and has been spending quite some time absorbing her Jewish lifestyle. He has been enjoying it so much, he is even thinking about converting, going so far as to consult a Rabbi.
He recently talked with ‘ParentDish’ about being a Jew: “This is the first year I will celebrate Chanukah. Hailey is Jewish. Everyone in my life is Jewish now, my attorney. I love it. I'm now half Jewish and half Korean. The family values are great. On Christmas, I'll see my kids during the day for a couple of hours.”
Jon is even learning a bit about the Jewish Holidays: “I just went through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and learned about the New Year and every Friday is the Shabbat dinner. I love challah bread. I'm learning about Jewish food, going to Zabar's. I love that place. I'm learning about kosher and when not to order a bacon, egg and cheese and make an ass of myself. Hailey makes fun of me. My mom came to the city on Yom Kippur and asked where all the traffic was. I got from the West Side to Midtown in five minutes. She wants to come to the city every year on Yom Kippur.”
The sexiest redhead on TV is officially off the market. That’s right – ‘Mad Men’ star Christina Hendricks, who plays the curvy, sassy Joan Holloway on AMC’s hit drama, has tied the know with actor Geoffrey Arend at Il Buco restaurant in New York on Sunday, according to PEOPLE.
Hendricks and Arend got engaged earlier this year after being introduced through ‘Mad Men’ costar Vincent Kartheiser, who plays the bratty Pete Campbell on the show.
The couple exchanged platinum wedding bands designed by Tacori. “The rings are simple and lovely – so much like Christina and Geoffrey,” said Tacori rep Michelle Chila. Arend's engraved ring matches Christina’s petite platinum ring with two rows of pave-set diamonds.
When they went ring shopping earlier this year, the duo knew they found a perfect match. “They put the rings on the table and said, ‘Look, they talk to each other. They’re friends,'” adds Chila.
Notorious bachelor George Clooney may finally be settling down. According to ‘In Touch’, the ageing heartthrob recently bought his girlfriend, Italian TV personality Elisabetta Canalis, a diamond ring.
According to the magazine, “It's not an engagement ring — but it is a sign they're getting serious.” When Clooney was dating waitress Sarah Larson he publicly stated that he would “never marry,” but now it seems the tide has maybe turned for the actor. In fact, the couple recently moved in together into his California home.
It’s been sixteen years since Clooney ended a difficult marriage to actress Talia Balsam. Most people assumed George would never get married again after the ordeal. However, that didn’t stop the actor from dating several women, many at the same time. In early 2009, there was speculation that he was involved with waitress Lucy Wolvert and also Fatima Bhutto, the granddaughter of a former Pakistan Prime Minister.
Well, surprise, Jon Gosselin is at it again! This time he allegedly “stole” $230,000 from he and Kate’s joint bank account, leaving Kate with a minimal $1,000 to pay for bills. This incident occurred a few days after Jon Gosselin decided he no longer wants his kids on TV. Of course, that news came mere days after TLC announced they were changing the scope and name of ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ to simply ‘Kate Plus 8’. I could go on and on and on…
Jon thought it would be a bright idea to go on ‘The Insider’ with his lawyer, Mark Heller, to defend his recent actions, and, of course, the cameras were rolling. Luckily for viewers, Nancy Grace was in top form and proceeded to rip the megalomaniac reality TV star to shreds.
Jon claimed it was unhealthy for the kinds to be filmed while he and Kate were going through a messy divorce, and that they need to work things out. Grace attacked: “You've got your lawyer here, you're afraid to answer questions, whatever. You talk the talk, but you don't walk the walk. You can't go out with one 22-year-old after the next while she's at home with the children and say you want to work it out. That's not working it out, Jon Gosselin." This real life celeb soap opera is never gonna end. Is it?”
Good news, sport fans – your favorite athletes are posing nude on the cover and inside pages of ESPN Magazine’s ‘Body Issue,’ including Serena Williams. Don’t worry, the issue will be safe for work, so you can enjoy the edition with your co-workers.
Williams is featured on one of six covers, and can be seen in the flesh, sitting, with her arms wrapped around her knees. The only article on her nude frame is a distinct diamond on her finger. The magazine, which hits newsstands on October 9, chose well selecting Williams as one of the covers, since she just reclaimed her number 1 ranking.
Williams only needed to win her second-round match at the China Open on Tuesday to reclaim the number 1 spot, because the current top-ranked player, Dinara Safina, couldn't get past that early round at the tournament. Safina lost to local wild card entry Zhang Shuai in the second round on Monday, which paved the way for Williams.
“It feels pretty good. I'm really excited, I guess. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, but I'm obviously happy to be there because I feel like I've been working so hard all year and just happy to be back,” Serena said.
A close friend of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem has revealed that the couple is engaged to be married. Rumors of pending nuptial have been floating around the blogosphere since April, but this time it seems like the real deal. “They're telling friends they will get married,” says a friend of the duo, who heard the news directly from one of them.
The evidence surrounding the couple certainly suggests they will be exchanging wedding rings quite soon. Strong rumors claim that Cruz is pregnant with Bardem’s child, and a wedding would certainly provide comfort to Cruz’s Catholic parents. However, the couple is still denying the baby speculation, despite a photo showing the happy couple leaving an OB/GYN clinic in Madrid last month.
Cruz recently revealed reluctance about being a wife: “I don't know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children.” She added, “When I [have children], I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.”
In tragic news, the ex-fiance of Kandi Burruss, who stars on ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’, was killed in a brawl at a club in Atlanta.
Police say Ashley “A.J.” Jewell suffered fatal head injuries during a fight at a strip club. He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital and died later. Fredrick Richardson has been charged with voluntary manslaughter.
Kandi is the new ‘Housewife’ on season 2 of the Bravo’s hit show. On the show, she and A.J. are engaged and planning a wedding, although the show was taped months ago.
Jewell and Burgess ended their engagement earlier this year. It has been rumored that Kandi bought her own engagement ring.
Kandi, a single mother of one, has never been married. She is a Grammy-winner now working on launching a solo career.
Responding to her ex-finace’s death, Kandi tweeted:
Musical prodigy and world-class hip-shaker Shakira is expanding her repertoire still further, appearing as a guest star on this season of Ugly Betty. The episode, which takes place in the Bahamas, features Shakira as herself, saving the day for the fictional magazine “Mode”. She is found when Betty’s nephew Justin, who knows Shakira’s travel alias, is able to contact the pop star. The TV show’s creator Silvio Horta told People.com, “We’ve mentioned her several times over the course of the series…She’s an enormous Latina icon, as is Betty, and we thought it was a perfect fit”. Shakira’s previous acting experience was on Colombian telanovela El Oasis in 1995.
Shakira’s personal life has kept her in the tabloids constantly. Although she has been with Antonia de la Rua for 9 years, rumors of their breakup are constantly popping up. They began dating in 2000, and de la Rua gave Shakira an impressive diamond engagement ring in March 2001
Looks like Jon Gosselin’s partying and bad-mouthing may have caught up to him. Beginning November 2, ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ will simply be ‘Kate Plus Eight’.
The TLC network has official announced that it’s hit reality show will adapt to the split between Jon and Kate, and focus more on Kate’s role as a single mother.
According to TLC president and general manager Eileen O’ Neill, “It's not a huge shift, but it's reflective of where the show was already going.” She added that “Jon's going to be involved in the show," but that he will be seen less often.
The couple, who exchanged wedding rings over a decade ago, made their separation official on a ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ episode that aired in June.
The split followed weeks of tabloid speculation regarding infidelities and other marital problems. On the show, the couple barely spoke to one another. They are currently in divorce proceedings.
Discussions are also under way for another series starring Kate that may debut in 2010. “I think there's an opportunity for Kate beyond her role as a supermom to explore her other interests,” said O’ Neill.
You know the old saying: the couple that rips-off hotels together, stays together - well, it seems to be true. Actor Randy Quaid and his wife Evi have been released from a West Texas jail after their arrest for allegedly skipping out on a $10,000 California hotel bill.
The couple, who exchanged wedding rings 20 years ago, each posted $20,000 bail late Thursday, after spending a few hours in prison.
Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez said he drove Randy to a bank to obtain the bail money. The sheriff said the actor received no special treatment.
Randy, the older brother of actor Dennis Quaid, checked into the San Ysidro Ranch with Evi on June 13 of this year. The next day, the innkeeper discovered that their credit card had been declined. Much to his current regret, he allowed the couple to stay when they claimed they had another card coming. However, after a week of racking up a sizable tab, the pair split..
According to the innkeeper, he told police that the Quaids owe $10,000 and all attempts by him to collect the money have been in vain. The couple faces felony charges of burglary, defrauding an innkeeper and conspiracy in Santa Barbara, California.
