Diamonds at James Allen includes high quality certified loose diamonds and diamond jewelry using many sizes and shapes of diamonds. http://www.JamesAllen.com Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:51:14 EST Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:51:14 EST 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Josh-Duhamel-Denies-Having-Sex-With-Stripper-November-04-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Josh-Duhamel-Denies-Having-Sex-With-Stripper-November-04-2009.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:31:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_fergie-and-josh.jpg Actor Mel Gibson and his girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva recently welcomed the birth of their first child, Lucia Gibson, on Friday at a hospital in Los Angeles. The pair has not yet exchanged wedding rings, and it is unclear whether they plan to in the future. The 53-year-old Oscar-winner and star of ‘Braveheart’ is a father for the eighth time. He has seven children with his ex-wife, Robyn. Last April she petitioned for divorce from the actor, citing irreconcilable differences. They were married for 28 years. Grigorieva is a 39-year-old Russian musician. She and Gibson met while filming “Edge of Reason.” In related news, a California judge recently expunged Gibson’s drunk-driving conviction from his infamous 2006 arrest. Mel successfully completed his court-ordered, three-year probation. He also paid $1,600 in fines. As a first-time offender, he was eligible to have his conviction erased after fulfilling his probation. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mel-Gibson-Welcomes-His-Eighth-Child-November-03-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mel-Gibson-Welcomes-His-Eighth-Child-November-03-2009.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 11:58:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_mel gibson.jpg Crystal meth is typically associated with depravity and poverty; a low-class drug, if you will. So it comes as a startling surprise that Andre Agassi, the eight-time Grand Slam champion, recently admitted to using the drug for “a year or so.” In his upcoming autobiography, entitled ‘Open’, Agassi admits he used crystal meth in 1997 and failed a drug test. The results were tossed out because he lied and said he “unwittingly” took the substance. “If you're going to tell your story, you owe it to yourself to tell it honestly,” Agassi told PEOPLE magazine. “Especially if you're going to call it 'Open,'” Agassi exchanged wedding rings with actress Brooke Shields in 1997. According to excerpts for his forthcoming memoir, he became jealous over Shields’ appearance on ‘Friends’. He also revealed that Brooke put a photo of Steffi Graf on the fridge to motivate herself to get in better for the wedding. Ironically, Agassi wed Graff in 2001. Agassi divulges how he and Shields begin dating shortly after Christmas 1993 and connected by sharing their experiences with pushy parents. He also reveals that he stormed off the set of “Friends,” becoming jealous when Shields had to lick actor Matt LeBlanc's hand. “Have some more hand. I'm out of here,” wrote Agassi. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Andre-Agassi-Talks-About-Crystal-Meth-Experiences-November-02-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Andre-Agassi-Talks-About-Crystal-Meth-Experiences-November-02-2009.html Mon, 02 Nov 2009 12:51:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_andre-agassi-photograph-c11795296.jpeg As if Jay-Z didn’t have enough on his plate, now the hip-hop legend wants to become a wedding DJ. The incomparable rapper said he would put on a lavish show, complete with video screens and back up dancers. “I'm gonna have video behind me and dancers. I'm gonna have people just go out and pour champagne when I get to a certain song. I'm going to make a whole show of this thing,” he said. The 39-year-old entrepreneur exchanged wedding rings with diva Beyonce Knowles, 28, in April 2008. Jay-Z went on to say that he would put on a show using a pre-recorded set-list, rather than using professional DJing skills. “I've got a whole plan. I'm gonna get me a little Serato set, some DJ software. I'm gonna work on that for six months, then I'm gonna find out which DJ makes the most and charge double and tour, do bar mitzvahs, weddings,” he boasted. Although having Jay-Z DJ your event won’t be cheap, it will be well worth it. He advises people to book him early to get a better price. “If you want to book me, book me early, because the prices will be a little better because when I get good, I'm really going to go for it.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jay-Z-Wants-To-DJ-At-Your-Wedding-November-01-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jay-Z-Wants-To-DJ-At-Your-Wedding-November-01-2009.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:18:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_jay-z.jpg On the Monday night episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8, Kate Gosselin answered “any and all reasonable questions” directed at her. As usual, she had quite a lot to say. Here’s a taste: Kate rejected allegations that she and Jon staged their renewal vows in Hawaii. In regards to exchanging wedding rings with someone in the future, Kate left the door open, but said it would be a difficult prospect. “To be honest, I don't know. I really don't want to be married again, but I don't want to be alone. The alone-ness is really alone.” She also claimed her kids were happy and okay to be on the show. “They're not suffering from this,” she said. “The fact that they have these different experiences they need to handle is only going to help them in life.” She also said she wants to stay in the limelight after her shows goes off the air: “I've done enough years on TV that I feel like it's a normal, comfortable, natural place to be,” she said. “I'd love to be in a movie at some point, I'd love to be the voice of a cartoon character in a movie for my kids. I think that would be fun.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Kate-Gosselin-Wants-To-Be-In-Movies-October-28-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Kate-Gosselin-Wants-To-Be-In-Movies-October-28-2009.html Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:05:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_kate-gosselin-wedding-dress-photo-01.jpg This past Sunday, Mad Men star Elisabeth Moss exchanged wedding rings with Saturday Night Live funny man Fred Armisen at The Foundry in Long Island City, New York. The ceremony took place in front of friends and family. In August, the couple mentioned that they wanted a simple, “medium-sized” wedding, and that Moss would be wearing a Claire Pettibone dress. “It was actually the only and first designer I ever wanted,” explained Moss. “I just thought [the dresses] were really beautiful.” The pair has been engaged since January. It is the first marriage for Moss, 27, and the second marriage for Armisen, 42. Armisen is best know for portraying President Barack Obama on Saturday Night Live, and Moss is famous for her role as Peggy Olson on AMC’s hit drama, Mad Men, as well as having played first daughter Zoey Bartlet on the NBC television series The West Wing. Whoopi Goldberg first broke news of their nuptials on The View on Monday morning. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mad-Men-Star-Elisabeth-Moss-Marries-October-27-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mad-Men-Star-Elisabeth-Moss-Marries-October-27-2009.html Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:05:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_madmen.jpg Everybody knows that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. And everybody knows that Victoria’s Secret is a guy’s best friend. So, it only makes sense to combine friends and make everyone happy. This season, Victoria’s Secret is unveiling a $3 million fantasy bra, and it features quite an impressive collection of diamonds. The Fantasy Bra has nearly 2,500 diamonds of various colors, including a huge 16-carat heart-shaped diamond in the middle. The diamonds are colored white, cognac and champagne. The bra, which boasts 150 carats, was designed exclusively for Victoria's Secret by Italian jeweler Damiani and manufactured in Valenza, Italy. It can be worn five ways, including strapless, halter, crossback, one-strap or classic. Every year Victoria’s Secret includes a novelty bra as part of its fall fashion. Last year’s model was worth $5 million. The 2003 model, which was worth $8 million, was famously worn and broken by Heidi Klum on the Jay Leno Show. However, because the recession, this year’s bra is worth a “mere” $3 million. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/3-Million-Fantasy-Bra-By-Victorias-Secret-Coming-Soon-October-26-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/3-Million-Fantasy-Bra-By-Victorias-Secret-Coming-Soon-October-26-2009.html Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:19:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_Black Diamond Fantasy Miracle Bra.jpg Pop stars shouldn’t believe that they actually have a chance at being legitimate actors or else they’ll only taste disappointment. Just ask Ashlee Simpson-Wentz if you need evidence. Jessica Simpson’s younger sister is officially leaving ‘Melrose Place’ after her short acting stint. According to ‘Entertainment Weekly’, Ashlee and her co-star Colin Egglesfield have been cut from the CW drama. According to executive producer Todd Slavkin, the decision to cut the two actors is part of “the original plan going into the development of the show. We felt that once the murder mystery [involving their characters] was resolved, the tone of the show was going to shift … and [Simpson-Wentz's] character would move on.” In a statement released after the announcement, Simpson-Wentz said, “Having the chance to play Violet on Melrose Place has been a thrill. Although I always knew her story would come to a final, insanely unpredictable end, playing a creepy, unstable character was something I always wanted to do, so I jumped at the chance. Thanks to the CW and the entire cast and crew of Melrose Place for allowing me this opportunity.” Simpson-Wentz and Egglesfield took the news “like professionals,” according to Slavkin. “Because they knew ahead of time [that leaving was a possibility], it wasn’t a complete shock.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Ashlee-Simpson-Wentz-Is-Leaving-Melrose-Place-October-25-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Ashlee-Simpson-Wentz-Is-Leaving-Melrose-Place-October-25-2009.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 08:06:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_ashlee-simpson-hairstyles6.jpg Here’s some truly shocking news: Stephanie Pratt, an actress on the reality show ‘The Hills’, was arrested early Sunday morning for driving under the influence…. actually, maybe not that shocking. Stephanie was arrested around 3:45 am. She and a number of her ‘Hills’ co-stars spent the night before celebrating her sister-in-law, Holly Montag’s 26th birthday. Stephanie’s brother, Spencer Pratt, exchanged wedding rings with Holly’s sister, Heidi, less than a year ago. Earlier in the evening, Pratt tweeted that she was at Holly’s birthday party, enjoying dinner, and was on her way to ‘Empire’ in Los Angeles. She also stated she was tired. After partying at ‘Empire’, Stephanie and Holly supposedly went to ‘Beso’ around 2 am. They hung out until 3 am and then parted ways. Unfortunately, Pratt got in her own car and decided to drive home. She was pulled over when an officer spotted her. The actress was cooperative with the police and didn’t make a fuss. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/The-Hills-Stephanie-Pratt-Arrested-For-DUI-October-19-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/The-Hills-Stephanie-Pratt-Arrested-For-DUI-October-19-2009.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 04:56:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_stephanie-pratt.jpg ‘The Real Housewives Of New York City’ star, Bethenny Frankel, is officially engaged. Boyfriend Jason Hoppy proposed to Bethenny on October 8, after dating for 11 months. He gave her an 8-carat engagement ring with a 6.5-carat pear shaped center stone flanked by two side stones. There is no denying Frankel’s excitement: “It feels great, because I'm with the right person. He may be regretting it because it's been beyond a week and he's in panic mode – [but] no, we're enjoying it.” Hoppy seems to be just fine: “She is very much a handful but one thing she did say to me is she needs a man that can handle her and that I can.” The proposal was as romantic as they get. After a day of shooting, Frankel arrived home to her Upper East Side apartment to find over a hundred lit votive candles and rose petals strewn all about the apartment. Hoppy got down on one knee and said: “You are the love of my life. Will you marry me?” Frankel’s puppy, Cookie, was dressed in a pink bow and oversaw the entire thing. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Real-Housewife-Bethenny-Frankel-Is-Engaged-October-18-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Real-Housewife-Bethenny-Frankel-Is-Engaged-October-18-2009.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 03:01:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_BETHENNY-FRANKEL.jpg Good news, ladies. The ‘Sex and the City’ sequel is well underway, and you can expect it to hit theaters next summer. Plus, a new addition is going to spice everything up. Yes, it’s true - Penelope Cruz has joined the cast, so expect some major fun. Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristen Stewart and Cynthia Nixon, Penelope Cruz and Liza Minnelli are going to be in the film, along with Jason Lewis, reprising his role as Samantha Jones’ ex. What will Penelope’s character be like? Well, let’s just say Cruz was spotted at the Empire Hotel filming a scene with Chris Noth, and things looked intimate. Could Carrie have her man snatched away from her by Penelope’s sexy character? Only time will tell. Minnelli also filmed recently for three days. When she was done, she serenaded the cast with a rendition of ‘Every Time I Say Goodbye’. According to an on-set source, “A total hush fell over the set. You could have heard a pin drop; it was such a moving moment. Everyone had goose bumps, tears. It was a really lovely parting gift she felt like giving everyone.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Penelope-Cruz-To-Star-In-Sex-And-The-City-2-October-15-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Penelope-Cruz-To-Star-In-Sex-And-The-City-2-October-15-2009.html Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:56:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_sex-and-the-city-movie-sequel.jpg 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.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jon-Gosselin-Is-Half-Jewish-October-13-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jon-Gosselin-Is-Half-Jewish-October-13-2009.html Tue, 13 Oct 2009 07:48:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_jon-gosselin.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mad-Men-Star-Christina-Hendricks-Gets-Married-October-12-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mad-Men-Star-Christina-Hendricks-Gets-Married-October-12-2009.html Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:41:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_14.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Is-George-Clooney-Hearing-Wedding-Bells-October-11-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Is-George-Clooney-Hearing-Wedding-Bells-October-11-2009.html Sun, 11 Oct 2009 07:29:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_100909_clooney.jpg 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."

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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Serena-Williams-Nude-Regains-Number-1-Ranking-October-07-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Serena-Williams-Nude-Regains-Number-1-Ranking-October-07-2009.html Wed, 07 Oct 2009 02:12:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_serena-williams.jpg 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.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Penelope-Cruz-And-Javier-Bardem-Engaged-October-05-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Penelope-Cruz-And-Javier-Bardem-Engaged-October-05-2009.html Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:37:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_penelope-cruz-and-javier-bardem.jpg 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.

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 http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Shakira-Cameo-on-Ugly-Betty-October-01-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Shakira-Cameo-on-Ugly-Betty-October-01-2009.html Thu, 01 Oct 2009 06:32:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_shakira-engagement-ring-she-wolf.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jon-And-Kate-Plus-8-To-Be-Kate-Plus-Eight-September-30-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jon-And-Kate-Plus-8-To-Be-Kate-Plus-Eight-September-30-2009.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 01:09:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_jon-kate-gosselin-lead_0_0.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Randy-Quaid-Released-From-Texas-Jail-September-27-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Randy-Quaid-Released-From-Texas-Jail-September-27-2009.html Sun, 27 Sep 2009 01:13:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_crazyquaidheader.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Tom-Brady-And-Gisele-Bundchen-Sued-September-23-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Tom-Brady-And-Gisele-Bundchen-Sued-September-23-09.html Wed, 23 Sep 2009 10:35:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_tom-brady-and-gisele1.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Khloe-Kardashian-Set-To-Exchange-Wedding-Rings-This-Weekend-September-22-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Khloe-Kardashian-Set-To-Exchange-Wedding-Rings-This-Weekend-September-22-2009.html Tue, 22 Sep 2009 12:05:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_hx2as8.jpg ast night, the 2009 Emmys aired, and all the stars came out to shine.

He was only 57 years old. A statement released last night by his publicist, Annett Wolf, said “Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months." Swayze, who exchanged wedding rings with Lisa Niemi in 1975, wrote a touching chronicle about his life, with his wife, prior to his death. Entitled ‘Time Of My Life’, the memoir will hit stores September 29th of this year. Texas-born Patrick Swayze was the son of a choreographer and dance school owner. He studied at New York ballet schools. He met future wife of 34 years, Lisa Niemi, while she was a student at his mother's dance school. Swayze enjoyed a varied Hollywood and Broadway career. His first major role was that of Danny Zuko in the original Broadway production of ‘Grease’. In 1983, he appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's ‘The Outsiders’. He played dance instructor, Johnny Castle, in the hit 1987 movie ‘Dirty Dancing’. In 1990, he starred opposite Demi Moore in the blockbuster romance film, ‘Ghost’. Most recently, he starred in the TV drama, ‘The Beast’, playing a rogue FBI agent. ‘The Beast’ was filmed after his cancer diagnosis. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Patrick-Swayze-Dies-At-Age-57-September-15-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Patrick-Swayze-Dies-At-Age-57-September-15-2009.html Tue, 15 Sep 2009 10:04:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_patrick-swayze-20070826-303194.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Kanye-West-Rains-On-Taylor-Swifts-Parade-September-14-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Kanye-West-Rains-On-Taylor-Swifts-Parade-September-14-2009.html Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:15:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_kanye-west.jpg 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.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jon-Gosselin-Says-Kate-Stole-His-Wedding-Ring-September-09-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Jon-Gosselin-Says-Kate-Stole-His-Wedding-Ring-September-09-2009.html Wed, 09 Sep 2009 11:26:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_400_jgosselin_090628_infphoto.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Paris-Hilton-Showered-With-Diamonds-September-08-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Paris-Hilton-Showered-With-Diamonds-September-08-2009.html Tue, 08 Sep 2009 12:32:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_paris-doug-beach-bliss.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mick-Jagger-LWren-Scott-Engaged-September-07-09.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Mick-Jagger-LWren-Scott-Engaged-September-07-09.html Mon, 07 Sep 2009 08:20:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_mick-jagger-engagement-rings-scott.jpg 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.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Katherine-Heigle-Leaving-Greys-Anatomy-September-03-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Katherine-Heigle-Leaving-Greys-Anatomy-September-03-2009.html Thu, 03 Sep 2009 05:26:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_katherine_heigl.jpg 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.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/World-Series-Ring-Missing-September-1-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/World-Series-Ring-Missing-September-1-2009.html Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:31:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_philadelphia-phillies-ring.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/2009-Emmy-Awards-Diamond-Studded-August-31-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/2009-Emmy-Awards-Diamond-Studded-August-31-2009.html Mon, 31 Aug 2009 02:48:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_elmo-2009-daytime-emmys.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/The-Women-Behind-Senator-Ted-Kennedy-august-27-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/The-Women-Behind-Senator-Ted-Kennedy-august-27-2009.html Thu, 27 Aug 2009 10:42:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_Kennedy.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Chris-Brown-Must-Stay-Away-From-Rihanna-August-26-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Chris-Brown-Must-Stay-Away-From-Rihanna-August-26-2009.html Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:41:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_chris-brown-court.jpg 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. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/The-Rolling-Stones-Want-To-Play-Your-Wedding-August-25-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/The-Rolling-Stones-Want-To-Play-Your-Wedding-August-25-2009.html Tue, 25 Aug 2009 09:21:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_rolling-stones7.jpg On Sunday night, Venezuelan beauty Stephania Fernandez was crowned Miss Universe 2009.

The 18-year-old brunette defeated favorites from Australia and Dominican Republic to become the 58th winner of the diamond crown. The show was broadcast live around the world from the Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas. Dressed in a flowing red gown, Stefania Fernandez hugged the runner-up from the Dominican Republic and danced in joy when she was announced as the victor. After the pageant, Fernandez tried to give insight regarding her country’s Miss Universe success: “What do we Venezuelans have?” she mused. “That we are ourselves.” During the Q and A segment, Fernandez said she believed women have overcome obstacles such as hitting the “glass ceiling.” “I feel we have reached the level that men are at,” she remarked.

After exchanging vows, the pair exchanged matching Neil Lane classic gold wedding bands. Mila’s engagement ring has been described as a “19th century vintage gold engagement ring with colored pink, yellow, and white diamonds.” The newlyweds’ home was decorated with white and red floral arrangements that matched their Spanish-style house. Guests were treated to cocktails and serenaded by traditional Spanish music played by a guitarist and singer. The event was small and intimate with only 50 guests present.

Well, the time has come. Jackson’s father, Joe Jackson, has declared that his son’s body will be buried at a Los Angeles cemetery on August 29 – what would have been his 51st birthday. Since the pop star’s passing, there has been a frenzy surrounding anything and everything Jacko related, including reports that Jackson’s hair will be turned into diamonds by Chicago-based jeweler LifeGem. Last week, media reports claimed that the Thriller singer’s body was buried in a private ceremony early this month. However, those reports were given by unnamed sources and were never confirmed by Jackson’s family. So far a Jackson family spokesman has not provided any comments regarding Joe Jackson’s statement, nor has a spokesman at Los Angeles’ Forest Lawn cemetery, when Michael is supposedly set to buried. In July, a public memorial for the singer was held, but it was never confirmed that he was buried after the event. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Michael-Jackson-Burial-Planned-August-18-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Michael-Jackson-Burial-Planned-August-18-2009.html Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:36:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_3_michael-jackson-diamonds.jpg Last Thursday, around 6 p.m., police arrived to the Gosselin family home in Wernersville, Pa. to calm down a verbal dispute between the estranged couple who exchanged wedding rings over a decade ago. According to sources, it was Kate Gosselin who made the phone call to the police. Last Monday, Kate appeared on The Today Show and told host Meredith Viera that she still loves “the Jon I knew,” despite the fact that the stars of TLC’s reality-series, ‘Kate & Jon Plus 8’, are heading for a divorce. According to an officer’s statement made to PEOPLE: “[Police] got there and calmed the situation down. No one was arrested and no citations were issued.” According to another source, Kate called the house to see which babysitter was assisting with the children. A heated argument followed when Kate disapproved the chosen caretaker. However, “due to the custody agreement, Kate couldn't enter the property," the source says. “The cops had no choice but to tell Kate she couldn't go past the gate.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Police-Called-To-Jon-And-Kate-Gosselins-Home-August-17-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Police-Called-To-Jon-And-Kate-Gosselins-Home-August-17-2009.html Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:56:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_Gosselin-Wedding-Rings.jpg Alyssa Milano, the 36-year-old former star of ‘Charmed’, exchanged wedding rings with talent agent David Bugliari at his family’s estate in New Jersey on Saturday. Alyssa Milano best known for her roles in ‘Who’s The Boss’ and ‘Charmed’, is set to star in ABC’s new comedy, ‘Romantically Challenged’. Milano wore a custom gown by Vera Wang and held a bouquet of lily of the valley flowers as she walked down an aisle to the tune of John Lennon's ‘Imagine’.

LifeGem, the company set to immortalize Jacko’s locks, specializes in converting DNA into diamonds. The company claims to possess a lock of the Thriller singer’s hair from when it accidentally caught fire on the set of filming a Pepsi commercial in 1984. Supposedly, Ralph Cohen, the executive producer of the Pepsi video shoot, collected some of the charred strands of Jackson’s hair and put them in his pocket while Jackson was being rushed off to the hospital. He kept it for 25 years before selling it to John Reznikoff, who has built a collection of hair from famous people including Marilyn Monroe, Abraham Lincoln, and John F. Kennedy. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Michael-Jacksons-Hair-Turned-To-Diamonds-August-13-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Michael-Jacksons-Hair-Turned-To-Diamonds-August-13-2009.html Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:23:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_michael-jackson-diamonds.jpg On Monday, FOX network aired the Teen Choice Awards.

In a video interview with Jackson's longtime friend Mark Lester, 51, broadcast on the News of the World Web site, Lester states he donated his sperm at a London clinic. He said Jackson had already exchanged wedding rings with Debbie Rowe at the time. Now Lester is arguing: "I gave Michael my sperm so that he could have kids — and I believe Paris is my daughter." He further elaborated: "It's been a secret for too long. In 1996 Michael asked me if I would give him my sperm and I said yes. It was a gift to him, no money was paid, it was something I was honoured to do. He wanted children so badly.” http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Godfather-Of-Michael-Jacksons-Kids-Claims-Paternity-August-10-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Godfather-Of-Michael-Jacksons-Kids-Claims-Paternity-August-10-2009.html Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:16:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_Michael-Jackson-Wedding-Rings.jpg Since quitting ‘American Idol’ last week, Paula Abdul has been receiving offers, including a spot on ABC’s hit show, ‘Dancing with the Stars’. According to ABC Entertainment President Steve McPherson, he called her right after he heard about her exit from ‘American Idol’ to let her know she was welcome anytime on ‘Dancing with the Stars’. Abdul, who famously exchanged wedding rings with The Breakfast Club star, Emilio Estevez, in 1992, has seen a real up shift in her career since appearing on ‘American Idol’. About inviting Abdul to appear on Dancing with the Stars, McPherson had some very kind and generous words: “I told her we'd love to have her on 'Dancing' - as a judge, a guest star or a contestant. She's a huge talent. I think there's a sensitivity and a kind of emotion to her that balances out 'Idol.' And we'd love to get a piece of that. It would be great." http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Paula-Abdul-May-Join-Dancing-With-The-Stars-August-09-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Paula-Abdul-May-Join-Dancing-With-The-Stars-August-09-2009.html Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:50:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_4_Paula-Abdul-Wedding-Rings.jpg The main co-stars of HBO’s successful vampire drama series, ‘True Blood’, are getting set to exchange wedding rings. Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have confirmed they are engaged to be married. In yet another instance of life mirroring art, the real-life couple also plays a passionate couple on the hit show: Paquin plays the telepathic Sookie Stackhouse, who is in love with vampire Bill Compton, played by Moyer. New Zealand born Paquin, 27, is a successful film actress. She won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1994 for her role in ‘The Piano’, opposite Holly Hunter and Harvey Keitel, when she was only 11 years old. She also had a prominent role in the blockbuster X-Men franchise, alongside Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry. “True Blood” is her first major Television series and she won a Golden Globe for her performance earlier this year. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Anna-Paquin-To-Be-Married-August-06-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Anna-Paquin-To-Be-Married-August-06-2009.html Thu, 06 Aug 2009 05:27:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_Anna-Paquin-Engagement-Rings.jpg Well, it’s official. American Idol judge, Paula Abdul, will not be returning for the hit reality show’s ninth season, which begins early next year. The former pop dancer, choreographer and singer of the hits ‘Opposites Attract’ and ‘Straight Up’, had a tumultuous personal and career path that was resurrected in 2002, when she joined American Idol’s first season as a judge. She has served on the show for eight seasons. In 1992, Abdul famously exchanged wedding rings with The Breakfast Club star, Emilio Estevez, but the couple was divorced only 2 years later, in 1994. Paula’s public image has suffered from eating disorders, substance abuse allegations, and a famous hit-and-run incident in 2004. However, Abdul’s tenure on American Idol has provided her A-list recognition and celebrity status, despite these setbacks. http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Paula-Abdul-Quits-American-Idol-August-05-2009.html http://www.jamesallen.com/News/Paula-Abdul-Quits-American-Idol-August-05-2009.html Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:54:00 EST http://www.jamesallen.com/_uploads/News/_1_Paula-Abdul-Wedding-Rings.jpg Chris Brown is slowly trying to rebuild his public image after having a much publicized altercation with potential fiancee, Rihanna, by issuing a public apology on Larry King Live tomorrow and asking for his former sweetheart’s forgiveness.
