 | 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. | |
|  | Jon Gosselin Says Kate Stole His Wedding Ring
Wed, September 9th 2009, 11:26 EST | | On Tuesday, America’s ‘favorite dad’ and reality TV star had a heavily anticipated sit-down with ABC News. During the interview, Jon Gosselin revealed a lot, including a claim that his soon to be ex-wife stole his wedding ring. He even went as far as to say he “despised” Kate.
Regarding the allegedly stolen wedding ring, Jon told ABC News' Chris Cuomo on ‘Good Morning America’ that “I don't wear my ring because she took my ring. I don't have it. So I laid it down one night. It was gone. Who else would take it? I checked underneath my kids' pillows. That's where everything ends up in the house anyway. So it wasn't there.” He also argued that Kate “still wears the ring for public perception.”
He also accused Kate of verbally abusing him during their marriage.
When asked about his reputation as a father, Jon responded: “Tomorrow I could be maybe . . . America's favorite dad again. It could be after this interview. I don't know. Whatever they want to write, let them write it. They're going to write it anyway. I've learned that lesson.” | |
|  | Paris Hilton Showered With Diamonds
Tue, September 8th 2009, 12:32 EST | | Former minor league American baseball star Doug Reinhardt is wooing Paris Hilton with lavish gifts. The former athlete turned reality TV star knows that diamonds are a girl’s best friend and he’s giving Paris plenty of them.
The socialite couple looked happy during an appearance at the Venice Film Festival after spending the day in the shopping district and taking in the sights. Witnesses say that the ‘Hills’ star treated the hotel heiress to jewels from Cartier. An onlooker revealed: “Doug whipped out his black Amex card and took Paris on a major shopping spree. They went to Cartier where he bought her the entire diamond panther collection of rings, necklaces, and bracelets.”
It’s no secret that the couple has recently reunited after a break up in June. It appears the Reinhardt is determined to show Paris he feels strongly for her. Or, maybe, he is showing the world that he is Paris’ man - Hilton was recently spotted at an LA nightclub, where she was enjoying the company of soccer player, Christiano Ronaldo. | |
|  | Mick Jagger Engaged to L’Wren Scott?
Mon, September 7th 2009, 08:20 EST | | When Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger wants a quiet evening out with his girlfriend of eight years, L’Wren Scott, he is often dismayed—but never surprised—when the paparazzi catches up with them. On Sunday night, when the couple was leaving London’s Donmar Warehouse Theatre, where they had just seen ‘A Streetcar Named Desire’, they were caught again on camera, and, again, NOT on camera together. The couple has tried over the years to avoid being photographed together.
Although they bought a 6 million pound home together in 2006, spending hundred of thousands on renovations, they have not, as far as anyone knows, exchanged wedding rings yet. Scott has, however, been seeing wearing a huge diamond on her wedding finger, but has been coy about whether or not it is an engagement ring from the twice-married frontman, telling the Daily Mail that “It’s a very beautiful ring and that’s all I’m going to say about it.”
L’Wren Scott, a former model and now a celebrity stylist, has embraced the family that she has inherited along with her famous love, and, unlike his previous girlfriends, has no plans to have children with him. He already has six children from previous relationships. Scott is now 42, and Jagger is 65. | |
|  | Katherine Heigle Leaving Grey’s Anatomy
Thu, September 3rd 2009, 05:26 EST | | It has been no secret that Katherine Heigle is unhappy on the set of Grey’s Anatomy. She has publicly lashed out against the show on several occasions, most recently complaining on the David Letterman Show about having to work 17 hour days. Last year she withdrew her name from Emmy consideration because she felt the material she was given was not worthy of any award.
Well, now it seems Heigle is taking some time off from Seattle Grace, the fictitious hospital where her character, Izzie Stevens, works. How long? At least 5 episodes, but who knows.
Heigle, who exchanged wedding rings with musician Josh Kelly less than 2 years ago, is taking the hiatus to film a new romantic comedy, ‘Life As We Know it’. According to an ABC rep: “Katherine is taking time off to film a movie. The producers at Grey’s have accommodated past things like that before. It’s a cast of 13 and it is a true ensemble so the show is mindful [of other commitments].”
According to EW, Heigl’s departure is set to begin this month and last into November. Of course, the absence will be explained on screen. Also, co-star Ellen Pompeo is due to give birth in October and is expected to take maternity leave around the same time. According to the ABC rep, that’s “all being worked out. Shonda [Rhimes] has had plans in place for a very long time.” | |
|  | World Series Ring Missing
Tue, September 1st 2009, 09:31 EST | | Police are currently investigating the disappearance of a 2008 World Series championship ring that has 103 diamonds and is valued at up to $15,000. The investigators are combing the Philadelphia Phillies' ballpark, where the ring is believed to be missing.
The owner is a member of the Phillies marketing department, not an athlete. He noticed the ring missing after he used the restroom at Citizens Bank Park. According to police Lt. Martin Derbyshire, the man remembered taking the ring off at about 1:30 pm. As part of the investigation, police have talked to other employees and watched surveillance footage. As of now police are saying the ring is considered missing, not stolen: “So far, we don't have a theft. The ring is just missing.”
The 14 karat white gold ring contains 103 diamonds, totaling nearly four karats – but to the employee, the ring is priceless.
Phillies shortstop, Jimmy Rollins, expressed his sympathy: “We always say we play for the rings. So why would I want to hide it? I look at it everyday. To lose it? Whew...I don't even what to say about it.” | |
|  | 36th Daytime Emmys A Show of First and Lasts
Mon, August 31st 2009, 02:48 EST | | Los Angeles, California -- Hosted by Vanessa Williams, the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards was its usual showcase of hairstyle, fashion, and diamond jewelry trends. As if to say goodbye to famed soap opera “Guiding Light”, which is going off the air after 72 years, the stars turned out in their finest.
Among the fashion trends spotted were backless dresses, one-shouldered gowns, and tousled hair, and diamond dress details. Foremost in all of these categories was actress Jennie Garth, whose stunning orange-red gown featured a diamond brooch at the waist. Her diamond drop earrings were easily visible through her carefully-disheveled hair.
Winner of the ‘Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment’ category Rachael Ray, who took home her second Emmy, wore a cocktail-length purple gown with a diamond-encrusted halter. Although Ellen DeGeneres was blocked from her predicted five-peat by a win by the ladies of “The View”, she and Portia DiRossi made an impressive appearance, with DiRossi still glowing as she showed off the marquise-cut diamond engagement ring surrounded with pink diamonds, a gift from DeGeneres. | |
|  | The Women Behind Senator Ted Kennedy
Thu, August 27th 2009, 10:42 EST | | Senator Ted Kennedy passed away on August 25th, at 77 years old. He left in his wake a pending health reform proposal, a legacy of Senate successes and profound influence on the American politics in general. His name carries the weight of a political legacy and he did all he could to ensure its continuation. But what has been overlooked in all the media frenzy surrounding the Senator’s passing, is the two very different women he exchanged wedding rings with – the women behind the man.
Kennedy’s met his first wife, Joan Bennett, in 1957. She was a refined woman of good taste and a penchant for honesty. They were married for 24 years and she stood behind Kennedy through the assassinations of his brothers John and Robert, the bone cancer of their 12 year old son, Edward Jr., multiple miscarriages and frequent rumors of infidelity. She even stood beside ‘the swimmer’ when his car went off a bridge at Chappaquiddick on Martha's Vineyard, drowning passenger Mary Jo Kopechne.
Despite having her own demons, Joan was publicly vocal about them and always presented herself as she was. Kennedy was separated from Joan for 2 years when he ran for president in 1980. Nevertheless, she said that if he were elected, she would live with him in the White House.
Ted and Joan divorced in 1982. | |
|  | Chris Brown Must Stay Away From Rihanna
Wed, August 26th 2009, 09:41 EST | | Yesterday at Los Angeles County Superior Court, R&B singer Chris Brown was sentenced for assaulting girlfriend Rihanna, pop singer of the hit ‘Umbrella’. He was ordered to serve 180 days of community service, put on probation for 5 years and made to attend a 52-week domestic violence program sponsored by the Commonwealth Catholic Charities. Brown was also ordered to stay away from Rihanna for the next 5 years.
Considering heavy rumors suggesting that Chris secretly gave Rihanna an engagement ring before the highly-publicized incident, the 5 year mandatory restraining order may have been the harshest of the punishments. In a report released after the sentencing, Brown is quoted as saying he has been “depressed” since the assault and that he “does not want to carry on that cycle.”
Judge Patricia Schnegg explained to Brown that he could be sent to state prison if he violated any terms of his sentence. Specifically, he must stay 100 yards away from Rihanna for the next 5 years, unless they're co-attending a music industry event, in which case, he must stay 10 yards away.
Brown will serve his sentence in Virginia, where his family is from, and his community service will be monitored by the police chief in Richmond. | |
|  | The Rolling Stones Want To Play Your Wedding
Tue, August 25th 2009, 09:21 EST | | So you’ve said your vows, exchanged wedding rings, and now you’re ready to let loose and have some fun dancing. Instead of hiring a DJ or some second-rate wedding band, why not hire the Rolling Stones?
That’s right, the Rolling Stones. For a mere 5 million pounds, singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarist Ronnie Wood would be delighted to perform all the hits - from ‘Brown Sugar’ to ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ – and everything else in between.
The Stones’ hefty price tag have earned them the distinguished designation of the world’s most expensive wedding act, ahead of pop stars Elton John and Kylie Minogue, who only ask for 2 million pounds to play at weddings. Elton, however, donates his earnings from private concerts to the Elton John AIDS Foundation, a charity he set up and organized.
According to a recent poll, diva Christina Aguilera was named the fourth most expensive nuptial performer at 1.5 million pounds a show and George Michaels earns a colossal 1.3 million pounds for a private concert. Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney and Jennifer Lopez each earn a whopping 1 million pounds per performance. | |
