hey kids - here's a hot new gossip item - spotted (oh how gossip girl of me) jennifer aniston meeting up with legendary director woody allen for dinner earlier tonight in beverly hills at madeo and she was wearing a ring on her wedding finger (and was in no way hiding it from the paparazzi lenses) i highly doubt she's secretly married but why would she toss a ring on that particular finger?!? i'm sure the mystery will be unraveled very soon (maybe it's just wishuful thinking - now that she probably heard cameron diazmight be engaged to her former flame model paul sculfour) besides all that ring business...i'm super excited about the fact she was meeting up with mr. allen (my favorite director besides tim burton) i think she'd be perfect to star in a movie of his (not every actress has the chops to star in a woody allen flick but i do think ms. aniston has what it takes - he simply must have another hannah and her sisters or husbands and wives in him) popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
good morning everyone! last week UK tabloid magazine closer had victoria beckham pegged as being pregnant with her fourth child - and this week two of her fellow spice girls join her on the cover this week with the forecast of a 'spice baby boom' - again they're claiming posh is eating for two - melanie b supposedly picked up a pregnancy test - and geri halliwell is seeking a 'happy accident' after dating her new dancer boyfriend ivan 'flipz' velez for just eight weeks! it is kind of odd they're featuring posh two weeks in a row...maybe there really is something to the rumors? we'll have to be on beckham baby bump watch for the next few weeks! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
good morning! i totally got a kick out of the latest cover of UK's heat magazine which is featuring hottie david beckham at the top - letting it be known that david gets his back, sack, & crack waxed (try to say back, sack, crack, wax 15x fast) normally that would be way too much information (TMI) but not when it comes to mr. beckham! now i'm all for manscaping & maintenance but waxing your balls sounds quite painful! david's wife victoria beckham is also featured on the cover with her 'bad skin days' - she's joined by keira knightley, lily allen, and billie piper - the magazine also has a bit on who is trying to ban all skinny celebrities - oh my gosh - that would be banning most of hollywood! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good afternoon! i normally don't like to start rumors yet when i saw these recent pics of charlie sheen with his fiancee brooke mueller in las vegas (nov 16th) i couldn't help but notice that she does look pregnant! the dress she's sporting is totally along the lines of jennifer lopez's 'hide the baby bump' flowy & loose fitting outfits from the past few months - plus i do recall seeing an interview with mr. sheen that he'd like to have more kids...maybe the couple got started early? i could be completely wrong but you have to admit it does kind of look like she could have charlie's bun in the oven! i wonder what his ex-wife denise richards would have to say about this? she's still somebody i'm not crazy about at all - not that charlie is an angel but she irks me to no end - ugh! (at least her former BFF heather locklear is happy with jack wagner - i love them as a couple!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey kids! you might have noticed some on some recent postings of pop nosh mr. jackson blue with his celebrity dirt videos - who i switch up with what the buck? w/ cutie michael buckley (who i need to do a full post on but for now make sure to subscribe to him on youtube) anyways mr. blue made a recap of this week's gossip and included popbytes in the mix along with a few of my other blogger buddies! check the dirt below - he's quite funny & adorable - i totally enjoy his work! (stop by his website at jacksonblueshow.com) popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo!
good evening everyone! i'm running a little behind tonight - i saw a screening this evening of that edith piaf biopic la vie en rose which was simply amazing - the actress who played ms. piaf - marion cotillard will get nominated for an oscar - no doubt - she was brilliant! expect a full post about the film before it lands in NYC, LA and SF next friday - june 8th!
anyways we've got one more tabloid cover for this week - another from the UK - below is heat which is featuring a 'shock report' on stars' weight changes! gosh after writing about this stuff for quite a while it still amazes me how much thought & fascination goes into celebrities & their weight! who can keep track of it all - one week britney spears loses five pounds and jessica simpson gains eight (at least kate bosworth is on the up swing from scary skinny) oh give me a break - unless these magazines have weighed them how can the be so darn 'exact' - but covers do sell magazines and people love to be on weight watch! maybe zagat's should do an annual 'celebrity weight report' but with all these numbers in constant fluxuation they'd probably need to do a weekly round-up!
i do love the picture they used of cameron diaz who is appearing to be in a reaction shot to her ex justin timberlake's 'snog' (i love brit slang) with his manly girl jessica biel! last but not least - i can't wait for big brother to start up again in july - although i'd love to watch the UK version as well - it seems a lot sassier than the US one! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
good morning! back to the grind - and back to some tabloid stories going around this week! the brand new cover of UK's closer magazine features nicole richie and her ongoing weight battle which seems to be a story that just won't go away - hopefully she'll deal with whatever issues she may be having at the moment including dealing with her estranged mom! (at least last night's season premiere of the simple life was quite funny - i told myself i wouldn't watch it but i did - plus i laughed especially when paris & nicole had to help give a bunch of overweight campers enemas!) next to ms. richie is angelina jolie who her brother james says feels way too guilty to eat...
troubled angelina jolie has been so moved by her charity work that she feels too guilty to eat. her brother james haven voight is so worried that her health is failing because of the trauma of working with starving children and the recent loss of their mother. "she exhausts herself and at the moment she has a very low resistance level because she misses our mother so much and just longs for her all the time," he tells closer magazine.
"angie visited ethiopa an it changed her life. when she's there, there's often no food for her and she goes without. she's become used to periods of very little or no food so she has a much smaller appetite and a different attitude to it. it's hard for her to go back to the states and sit in a very expensive restaurant and order freely."
finally if anyone needs their nooks & crannies cleaned some lady is offering up her naked tattooed man to do the dirty job - i think i'll pass but if victoria beckham offers up her man davd beckham for a little light naked cleaning - i'm first in line! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening! i've put myself on a news & email embargo until i watch the american idol finale tonight - i hate having it spoiled - so even though i can probably find out who won - i'm so not looking! (although i went all blake last night - after everything i heard today it looks like jordin will win - i can't wait for the show to start!)
i've been loving some of the recent UK tabloid glossy magazines i've been posting on - many thanks to popbytes pal alex for sending along some fun covers! they're always great jumping off points for tossing some of my thoughts out there - and people seem to enjoy them! this week's closer features geri haliwell's (aka ginger spice) 'drastic plan' to look like victoria beckham (aka posh spice) i love these kinda stories where one gal is after another (a la single white female) like when ashlee simpsonwas afterjessica simpson's look! if geri does have some evil master plan i'd imagine that step one would be to secure a los angeles home so she can keep a close eye on victoria (second step would be trying to bang david beckham...that would be my first step!)
you gotta love the top right corner - that lady gave birth thirteen times and is still a size zero?!? what the hell did she give birth to? tadpoles?!? plus who really has 13 kids these days - that's a full house! over to the left there's some young girl addicted to tanning (her mum pays for her to go daily) although looking at the pic - she doesn't look very tan but maybe she is by english standards?
then there's updates on charlotte church and her boy gavin (he was the guy sporting wood on last week's cover) and melanie brown (aka scary spice) who is moving on with a new guy...did that DNA test ever happen to find out if her baby's daddy is eddie murphy?!? i lost track of what was going on with that! popbytes over & out for now and of course i'll be back with a full idol finale post - xxoo!
hey hey! i'm just about to watch the final performances on american idol but i've got a new UK tabloid glossy cover for ya - this week's heat magazine is all over the fact that celebrities have bad skin too...of course they do - everyone has some skin issues now & again (gosh i had horrible acne in high school - god bless accutane!) i love how the glossy gave the word 'bad' a bunch of pimples - a nice graphical touch! plus i totally got a kick out of victoria beckham superimposed standing against the american flag - and she's ready to bake cupcakes (i want sprinkles bitch!) now that's something i need to see - maybe we will on her upcoming NBC reality show! (oh my gosh she's using the word tasteful to describe her & hubby david beckham's new los angeles digs - i don't think that word is in my vocabulary - it's an odd one) last but not least - i know the UK loves big brother and luckily we'll be seeing a new US season starting in july - hands down my favorite reality show ever! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening everyone! so how super hot would it be if longtime friends & colleagues heather locklear and cutie jack wagner ended up together?!? this week's STAR magazine is calling it 'destiny' - i wouldn't go overboard with saying their romance is 'written in the stars' but i do think they'd make an excellent couple and - damn they both still look great!
oh my gosh - thinking back on melrose place makes me feel warm & fuzzy inside (i know some of you must feel the same way) that show started off on a lame note but damn right around when 'kimberly' (played by marcia cross) came back from the dead (end of the 2nd season) and took off her wig revealing those nasty scars - oh my word - one of the best moments in television - ever! (the clip is posted below) we'll certainly be keeping an eye on heather & jack - and denise richards needs to stay far away - i still think she's a total loser! popbytes over & out for tonight - anyone else stoked tomorrow is friday?!?
heather split from her husband of 12 years, bon jovi guitarist richie sambora, in december 2005; their divorce was finalized on april 11. meanwhile, jack has been separated from his wife, soap star kristina wagner, since they filed for divorce in 2005. as singles, heather and jack reconnected and "began pouring out their hearts to each other," adds another friend.
although heather had been seeing funnyman david spade, 42, on and off friend. since her marriage imploded, her bond with jack became stronger, says the friend. "in january, jack finally said, 'we're lonely - how about a movie?' the relationship has been building since then."
hey kids! there's more UK 'glossy' tabloid covers this week including the latest issue of heat which features the most embarassing beach moments - ever! i'm not sure who that chick billie is but i'd like to find out who gavin is - he has 'something' trapped in his bathing suit that looks like a banana! i'm surprised they can put a shot like that right up front plus there is someone's naked 'bum' in the water! (if anyone knows who they are please leave a comment below) there's also a story on peter andre who is finally out of the hospital but apparently looking 'sad, weak, and very ill' - if i had to deal with katie price all the time i'd be weak too - oh that gal is a total handful! (literally) plus they've got a bit on 'guilty' paris hilton - i'm sure everyone over there wants to see the heiress behind bars too - oh my word - june 5th can't come soon enough! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
here's the latest cover of yet another UK tabloid magazine called closer which features victoria beckham front & center - claiming her 'hollywood' friends are dreading her full-time arrival when she moves over here with hubby david beckham who is rumored on the cover to be too skinny! (he looks simply fine to me!) then there's more drama for jordan's unborn baby who is apparently at risk - she's due very soon - i do hope everything goes ok! finally you've got to have a chuckle from the top right corner where a woman's husband kidnapped her to stop her from having a boob job - normally it'd be the other way around...most guys would probably be all for bigger breasts! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey hey! this week's STAR magazine has a bit on new BFF jennifer aniston & laura dern ganging up on angelina jolie who 'stole their men'...yet let's not forget it takes two to tango! i'm not going to blame ms. jolie at all for jen & laura's failed relationships but both ladies do share the distinction of having been with a man that ended up in angelina's arms! (please remember i haven't taken sides...i love angelina & jennifer!)
i'd love to see these two actresses do something together - maybe ms. dern can do a guest stint on the upcoming second season of dirt which thankfully was picked up again along with the riches - she could do something on that show too - FX needs to woo laura - girlfriend actually needs her own series - if you haven't seen her amazing & super haunting tour de force performance in david lynch's incredible epic inland empire - it's a must see! (the DVD will be released in august but it's still making the rounds at some theaters!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
new best friends jennifer aniston and laura dern have plenty to talk about - angelina jolie! the leading ladies have each lost a man - brad pitt and billy bob thornton - to seductive siren angie, and a source tells star they're now indulging in juicy gossip sessions about her! "they're looking for a project to do together and discussing scripts, but they also love to dish about angie," says the source...
hey y'all! here's the very latest cover of UK glossy tabloid magazine heat which features one of my favorite people victoria beckham who thankfully seems to have gained a little weight! i love the headline 'the story they never thought they'd write...' - ha! posh of course hasn't gained a lot but she has been looking a little healthier these days! (her arms don't look so darn twiggy anymore!)
they've also got an update from katie price aka jordan on hubby peter andre's illness - he's out of the hospital and hopefully feeling better - she should be having his baby quite soon! at the bottom there's 'extreme celeb diets' which features courtney love living off diet shakes, amy winehouse not eating all day (yikes!) and britney spears who is relying on energy drinks! many thanks to alex from stuart higgins for passing along this cover! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
oh this is drama i live for - this week's STAR magazine is reporting about a rumored spat between jessica simpson & vanessa minnillo over hairdresser ken paves - popbytes loves a good cat fight! although ms. simpson has lost my support - i can't stand ms. minnillo - so if i had to pick sides on this one - i'm totally for jessica - that vanessa is a shifty one - i don't trust her at all - nick lachey needs to keep his wits about him! check out the scan below - i love when they put pictures like that side by side - adding to the overall drama! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
jessica simpson and vanessa minnillo are feuding over a man - but this time it's not nick lachey! it's mane man ken paves, whom vanessa is courting! "jessica is furious with vanessa for going after her longtime stylist, ken," says a source. "vanessa had her assistant contact ken in march to find out his availability. so vanessa called ken in early april. he told her he'd be happy to take her on." well, that didn't sit well with jessica! "she found out," says the source, "and lashed out at ken and called him a traitor and tried to force him to choose between her and vanessa!"
good morning! gosh i'm so happy today is friday - the sun is shining bright here in los angeles and i'll be off from my day job all next week as i head over to the east coast...what else could anyone ask for?!? well perhaps a sequel to 05's mr. & mrs. smith - that flick starring angelina jolie and brad pitt kicked ass - i totally loved it - and if they can do it right then i'd love to see those characters go another round! this week's STAR magazine claims that the couple have met with paramount pictures to discuss the possibility of a sequel! if you haven't seen the movie do yourself a favor and rent it - it's very entertaining plus there's plenty of pitt & jolie eye candy! i doubt this sequel would kick-off anytime soon but i've got my fingers crossed this'll happen at somepoint! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
brad pitt and angelina jolie, who played married assassins in the 2005 action film mr. & mrs. smith and fell in love on the set, are considering a follow-up film. "brad and angelina recently met with paramount pictures chairman brad grey to discuss it," a source tells star. "i hear the script will give them a daughter." really!
hey hey! this week's STAR magazine 'uncovers' a brewing drama between fergie & nelly furtado who apparently don't care for each other very much - i so got a kick out of the picture below - ms. furtado is making the best (bird) face - i simply had to add my own captions! read more on the gals apparent beef with each other below - if i had to take sides i'd probably go with nelly but fergie seems more fun! (plus she still has that hot boyfriend josh duhamel - heaven only knows how she has managed to hold onto him!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
a source tells star that in fergie's new song 'impacto,' (with daddy yankee) she refers to the "promiscuous" singer, saying, "i ain't promiscuous, the realest chick up in this...i'ma pull your wig back!" the source says the beef started several months ago at an l.a. awards show when nelly asked fergie, "what's your problem? why are you dissing me in your song 'fergalicious'?" fergie denied she was attacking her, but it seems nelly won't give up: "nelly then dissed fergie in the new song 'give it to me,' and now they're in serious competition!" says the source.
hey kids! here's a small bit of gossip leftover from last week's STAR magazine concerned with why team jlo aka jennifer lopez & hubby marc anthony can't seem to score a homerun (or a baby) these days...of course they're placing the blame all on him for pushing jennifer in directions she probably shouldn't have gone - plus don't forget they've got that film coming out together el cantante which is already being pegged as a dud (anyone remember that disaster gigli?!?) plus it's going to open in august opposite the bourne ultimatum starring matt damon which will surely whup cantante's ass at the box office! either ms. lopez is going to have to tell mr. anthony to back off & calm himself down or she's going to have to ditch his ass & move on...look at him below - he's such a 'shifty mccoy' and way creepy - oh i just don't like him (at all) but i guess only time can tell what will become of this couple! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
j.lo's last cd, 2005's rebirth, debuted at no. 2. and even though this new record is not in english and no one was expecting it to be a break-out smash, everyone was hoping it would hit at least 100,000 copies in its first week. as one music publicist put it: "jennifer's album is a bomb!" what went so wrong?
sources tell star it's all about j.lo's husband of almost three years: "marc probably pushed jennifer to be less formulaic and to try to reach deep inside to find her true voice," says the source. "but jennifer's biggest hits have been very formulaic and overly produced dance numbers - songs like 'waiting for tonight' and 'jenny from the block.' marc's album was designed to be deep, but no one wants that from jennifer. they don't want artistry, they want fun hits! i think marc misfired."
top of the morning to everyone! when i read the story below from this week's STAR magazine i knew it would make a perfect post to kick-off hump day! oh my gosh - i love the headline tom takes katie's high heels - and throws them out! (hello drama!) based on the blurb below mr. cruise tells his bride that his sister lee anne borrowed her shoes (i wonder if her and katie are even the same size?!?) no wonder he wants to toss out her high heels - just look at the picture on the right - she's towering over him in those hot four inch heels! the best of part of all this is that his reps 'deny that tom takes katie's shoes' - i wonder if that was said with a straight face? popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
"katie says she'll look for some of her favorite high heels and when she can't find them, she'll ask tom about it," the friend says. "he'll say, ‘oh, lee anne [tom's sister] wanted to borrow them.' and then, for some reason, they never turn up again."
the source adds that when katie asks lee anne about the shoes, she says she doesn't know what katie's talking about. "but katie doesn't call tom out on it - she just shrugs and says, 'well, he's given me another reason to go shopping for another pair!' " (tom's representative denies that tom takes katie's shoes, telling star this is "completely false.")
hey i'm back and i passed my written test at the DMV - there were eighteen questions and i only got three wrong which allowed me to pass! (huge sigh of relief) anyways this week's STAR magazine has a little article about who are the most hated reality stars right now and in my opinion heidi montag and her loser boyfriend spencer pratt top the list! if you've been watching this season of the hills then you know what a total jerk mr. pratt is and heidi is a complete dummy for being with him - ugh they make me sick! oh i do hope they'll split up (maybe they already have?) so she can work on getting her friendship back on with lauren conrad who happens to be one of my favorite reality stars at the moment - she's a cool girl! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
"if they split, heidi can repair her friendship with lauren [conrad]," one fan tells star. and, apparently, spencer isn't making any friends in real life either. one report says that he can't get into any clubs in la, and that people come right up to him and verbally abuse him! it looks like spencer has taken over k-fed's reign as america's most hated, all by himself!
