 | Penelope Cruz And Javier Bardem Engaged
Mon, October 5th 2009, 11:37 EST | | 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.”

|  | She-Wolf Shakira to Guest Star on Ugly Betty, Have Family
Thu, October 1st 2009, 06:32 EST | | 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 | |
|  | ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8’ To Be ‘Kate Plus Eight’
Wed, September 30th 2009, 13:09 EST | | 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. | |
|  | Randy And Evi Quaid Released From Texas Jail
Sun, September 27th 2009, 13:13 EST | | 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. | |
|  | Tom Brady And Gisele Bundchen Sued
Wed, September 23rd 2009, 10:35 EST | | Earlier this year, after New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady exchanged wedding rings with supermodel Gisele Bundchen in Costa Rica, they were photographed by two photographers during the post-wedding party. Now the photographers are suing the couple, claiming they were shot at by their security guards.
The $1 million lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan claims that the photographers suffered physical and mental harm from the attack, despite the fact that they were not actually hit by any bullets.
According to the lawsuit, it is said that Brady and Bundchen hired improperly trained security guards for the celebration. The party took place in April, two months after their wedding, at Bundchen’s Holiday home.
‘AFP’ photographer Yuri Cortez and photographer Rolando Aviles of Costa Rican national daily newspaper ‘Al Dia’ say Bundchen's bodyguards barely missed hitting their heads while they were being fired upon for refusing to give up their cameras and memory cards. | |
|  | Khloe Kardashian Set To Exchange Wedding Rings This Weekend
Tue, September 22nd 2009, 12:05 EST | | Not to be outdone by pregnant sister Kourtney, 29-year-old reality TV star Khloe Kardashian has decided to exchange wedding rings with LA Laker Lamar Odom this Sunday, just weeks after getting together.
According to E! News, many of the wedding guests have already been informed of the celebration via telephone, with formal invites to follow this week - but the future bride has yet to confirm or deny the reports.
On September 4, Khloe confirmed she was dating Odom. According to older sister Kim: “They're very, very happy. They've been together a few weeks, and are literally inseparable.” According to a source, the couple went ring shopping in Los Angeles over the weekend, and Odom bought Khloe a ring she liked on the spot. “She's not wearing it yet because it is being resized,” says the source.
Although the pair has only spent six weeks together, they are hoping to get married and have a honeymoon before Odom begins training camp with the Lakers this fall.
It is rumored that the many, but not all of the Lakers team was invited to the still secret wedding. Whether or not this is true, remains to be seen. | |

|  | Kanye West Rains On Taylor Swift’s Parade
Mon, September 14th 2009, 09:15 EST | | Last night, at MTV’s Video Music Awards, Kanye West thought it would be a good idea to interrupt Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech, to proclaim that Beyonce Knowles should have won the award for Best Female Music Video. Needless to say, it was not a good idea.
While the country starlet was humbly accepting her award, Kanye burst onto the stage, grabbed the microphone from the 19-year-old, and said: “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but Beyonce has one of the best videos of all time!”
It wasn’t long before audience members rose to their feet and booed the megalomaniac, while cameras captured an embarrassed Beyonce. As West took his seat, a number of celebs took the opportunity to tell him off. According to inside sources, Kayne was asked to leave the show by a high-powered member of MTV.
Later in the show, Diddy took to the stage to present an award. When he mentioned Kanye as a nominee, the crowd booed and chanted Taylor’s name. | |
