hello! i'm wondering how long jennifer lopez and marc anthony will be able to keep their supposedly rocky marriage alive? there's been so many rumors lately about the couple divorcing - it seems inevitable! perhaps they will actually publicly end things on valentine's day in NYC during mr. anthony's concert (i posted about that rumor not too long ago...) this week's national enquirer claims there was a big explosion between the two on new year's eve and now there's probably a bunch of stuff for the couple to figure out like money ($350 million!) and who will retain custody of their twins max & emme (i bet ms. lopez will keep the kids) i'm also curious to see who will move on romantically first - with jen's history - she'll probably find a new beau before marc does but girlfriend seriously needs to figure out her career first which has been kind of in the dumps lately - although i was a HUGE fan of her last album brave which turned out to be a bomb (and didn't get much promotion at all because she ended up getting pregnant) but it's such a guilty pleasure - please give it a listen if you haven't! (plus her acting career seems dead in the water) so far the new year has been all about people breaking up...we totally need a new steamy romance to balance all of the drama out! popbytes over & out for tonight from maui - xoxo (and just in case your curious here's more onmartha stewart turning her back on her pal from prison...)
hey hey! i had another fabulous day here in maui - i managed to go snorkeling off two beaches - the first one was just ok and i ended up cutting my foot (i'm dealing) the second beach over at kaanapali (recommended by my blogger buddy candy kirby) was awesome for snorkeling - just a few feet from the shore was this amazing reef teeming with all sorts of colorful fish - i never saw anything like it - i was truly amazed! yet being a nervous nelly i got a bit spooked when i realized i was kind of far out in deep water but i managed to do the backstroke back to shore! anyways i'm excited to bring back the latest national enquirer covers here on popbytes - sometimes their stories are a bit outlandish but more than a few times they've totally nailed stories on the head before anyone else had an inkling (like with nicole richie's pregnancy) this week it's all about celebrity diets - which don't seem to be working for the people featured on the cover (i'm not sure who is featured on the right - please be my guest and take a guess - i'm thinking maybe it's kelly lebrock?) there's also more on freakshow michael jackson who supposedly only has six months to live - i don't like calling him a freakshow but there's really no nice way to describe him these days - he's a total weirdo - it's quite sad - he used to be the reigning king of pop but certainly not anymore and he'll never be able to mount a comeback to the way we remember him - sad but true! popbytes over & out for now - xoxo (many thanks go out to david perel from the enquirer for always helping a blog out!)
good evening! the latest national enquirer is featuring republican vice president hopeful sarah palin once again...this time with revelations about her supposed extramarital affair (her excuse is - it gets cold up in alaska...brrr) and the man she once called her 'love' brad hanson (he's so not cute) read more details over on the enquirer's website - i swear this election has turned into such a soap opera (mixed in with all the economy drama - ugh) thank heavens election day (november 4th) is less than six weeks away...
i'm way more interested in the story about britney spears possibly getting close with her ex-hubby and baby daddy kevin federline - now i won't rule out a reunion since stranger things have happened as we all know (like when joe pesci was datingangie everhart...) i just don't see them getting back together or rebuilding their love anytime soon (at least things have been fairly civil between them for the sake of their two boys sean preston & jayden james) ms. spears recently put her house up on the market (bad timing girlfriend) so she is looking for a new place but i doubt she'll end up living with k-fed - although surprisingly he turned out to be a decent guy who appears to be a good father (and thank goodness he gave up on his music career...)
rumors aside - i'm just super glad things are finally back to normal for britney - she's looking great these days and is ready to release her 6th studio album circus on december 2nd - her 27th birthday (i can't wait for the single womanizer to leak onto the web which should be any day now...) plus hopefully she'll announce a world tour - i'd really like to see her in concert! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
PS i wonder what up's with demi moore adding on 15lbs in four weeks?
good evening y'all! this week's national enquirer is featuring two of my favorite divas on the cover - first up is janet jackson with her weight gain - now i saw her concert last night here in los angeles and yes she's looking a little on the thick side but i know by the time her 'rock witchu tour' is over - she's going to be in top shape - she danced so much last night - there's simply no way she can't lose a few pounds doing those sexy dance routines night after night! i really enjoyed the show (i even wore my new janet t-shirt today!) which included all of her big hits and some new ones too and it reminded me how great of a dancer she really is - girlfriend has got the moves! right below ms. jackson is mariah carey who is supposedly flipping out over a rumored tell-all book - oh i do love my mariah but she's probably crazier than any of us will ever know! if that book does make it to stores - i'd totally buy a copy just to read about all her diva meltdown moments - i'm sure there has been plenty of wacky mimi incidents over the years! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
PS i have no clue what's really going on between oprah winfrey and dr. phil mcgraw (nor do i care...) yet i'm a total sucker for dramatic headlines like i'll destroy you (especially when you speak 'em out loud in different voices) gosh i'd love to see ms. winfrey kick dr. phil's self-help ass - ugh - he's highly annoying!
good evening! once again republican vice presidential hopeful sarah palin is featured front and center on the latest cover of national enquirer with juicy bits on her supposed affair, her son track's addiction to drugs (what a perfect name for a druggie) and her pregnant teenage daughter bristol supposedly being banished from her house - gosh i hope all of this is (and more) is true because like i've said before i do not like the woman - i'll lose my mind if she ends up becoming VP! right about now i'm really thinking that barack obama should've picked hillary clinton as his running mate (hindsight is always 20/20) then john mccain's surprise female pick might not have happened...i'm all for a woman helping to run this country but certainly not ultra conservative sarah palin - personal drama or no personal drama - i don't like her one bit (speaking as a gay man would you expect anything else? she's certainly not gung ho on gay rights - i have no other choice but to support obama & biden) although i love her scandals being splashed all over the tabloids - it's totally time to lay off her for a bit - the seeds of doubt have already been planted...let's watch ms. palin dig her own grave! the more she's attacked i feel it will only help to fire up 'team palin' players even more than they already are! i did say that i wouldn't post anymore about her but i simply couldn't help myself - she makes me feel sick to my stomach - i'm not a huge fan of john mccain at all yet i'll take him over her any day! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
good evening! since this morning i wrote up a whole rant on sarah palin - i don't think i can write about her again although she is featured front & center on the latest cover of national enquirer with her dark secrets - i'm quite sure we'll finding out some more scandalous tidbits about the lady before everything's said and done (as far as her 'culture of fear' speech tonight at the RNC - all i can say is tina feymust make an appearance as ms. palin on the season premiere of saturday night live)
let's talk about something a lot more fun - did you all watch the two-hour premiere of 90210 last night?!? (which drew in loads of viewers like expected) of course i had to tune in...seeing the return of shannen doherty as 'brenda walsh' was something i simply couldn't pass up! (jennie garth is sweet but not a big reason to tune in - her character 'kelly taylor' was a total bore years ago too...)
overall the show was decent - i wouldn't say i was blown away by any means (it's certainly nowhere near as delicious as gossip girl) but it wasn't the worse thing ever - i'll most likely tune in again next week! i don't think it'll ever be as popular as the original show but i do love the fact the tabloids are already claiming ms. doherty is 'terrorizing' the new set - all of her real-life behind the scenes drama the first time around for sure added fuel to the popularity fire - maybe she'll be able to do it again! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
hey hey! besides the drama being featured surrounding mary-kate olsen (her bodyguard is supposedly talking again) on the cover of the latest national enquirer - there's a new skinny alert! this time it's kelly ripa who the magazine claims has dropped to a mere 96lbs (there's plenty of pictures of her below from when she appeared on the late show w/ david letterman on august 5th...decide for yourself) she does look a little on the skinny side of things but she's a tiny lady and doesn't look nearly as thin as nicole richie did two years ago (her weight around that time should be the lowest any should go...) we'll just need to put kelly on our skinny radar and keep our eyes on the situation (especially if her eye candy hubby mark consuelos is around - he's freakin' hot) there's also more on the whole john edwards scandal which i must congratulate editor-in-chief david perel and his team for busting that one wide open - it's not a story i care to talk about much on here (politics related gossip...ugh) but i love it when the enquirer nabs something on the head! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
hey kids! although the top story on the cover of this week's national enquirer about john edwardspictured with his secret love child grabbed all the attention today - i'm much more into the whole celebrity 'plastic surgery shockers' feature! now i'm all for a little improvement here & there but some people take it way too far like new york socialite jocelyn wildenstein looking like a feline and fashion diva donatella versace whose lips look like they're about to explode all over the place - 'nip, tuck & yuck' indeed! (read about the mystery woman featured front & center) last weekend when i was at the diana ross concert i saw this gentleman probably in his fifties who was nipped and tucked to the nines - i simply couldn't look away - let's just say it was not a flattering look! (all i could think was please don't let that be me someday - i'll take some wrinkles and sag over tight face syndrome any day) we're so used to seeing women taking plastic surgery to the extremes but men do too and it doesn't look pretty at all (like bruce jenner who used to be somewhat sexy but now he looks weird - i do like him but he needs to stay away from the doctor's office...the same thing goes for country singer kenny rogers) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
good morning and happy friday! heck if i had been letting dr. phil mcgraw do his business on top of me for years - i seriously wouldn't be able to take it anymore just like his wife robin who is being featured on the latest national enquirer again because of the supposed rift in her marriage (this is like the 3rd or 4th time this year dr. feelgood & his wife have made the cover - there simply must be something brewing between the two...) we've also got janet jackson apparently gaining weight again - i hope girlfriend is in tip-top shape by the time her tour kicks off (i'm seeing her on september 17th at staples center) and as far as legendary screen beauty elizabeth taylor at age 76 is doing just fine - a spokesperson said at present, she is surrounded by family, friends and fabulous jewels - she's an amazing lady and a true hollywood icon - please keep her in your prayers! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
hey hey! this week's national enquirer is featuring another drug den although this one is for sure tamer than whitney houston's crack den (which made the cover back in march '06) apparently lisa marie presley's 21-year-old half-brother navarone garibaldi (pictured here with dreadlocks) is a big-time pot dealer - with the tasty green buds hanging in the closet and pounds more growing in the basement! the main thing that shocks me about all this is finding out lisa marie has a half-brother - i had zero clue that mom priscilla presley had a son with her one-time partner of 22 years director marco garibaldi! i'm totally in support of legalization of marijuana but having a drug den probably isn't the smartest idea (and if you ever tried to grow herb - it's certainly not easy at all)
in other news there's a new revelation about britney spears' mom lynne spears past - she did in fact run over & kill a 12-year-old boy years ago...gosh i couldn't imagine living with that - it sounds like it was a complete accident but still i wouldn't be able to let that go! at least she didn't run - i get crazy whenever i hear about hit & runs on the news - i'd be so freaked out if i hit someone but i would never leave the scene - that's so bad! just the thought of it gives me chills - i have this phobia of car accidents - the main reason i still cannot watch that david cronenberg flick crash - car wrecks freak me out! ok let's seriously move onto happier topics next time - popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
The accident occurred in 1975, and Lynne Spears is still haunted by the death of the 12-year-old boy. "To this day, Lynne hasn't gotten over what she did. She gets that terrified look in her eye when she is thinking about it," said a source close to the Spears family. "She has told only a few people about the accident and always says, 'Please don't think I'm a bad person.'" Lynne was 20 when the tragedy occurred in her hometown of Kentwood, La., during the same year she married Jamie Spears.
hey hey! this week's national enquirer is featuring more supposed drama between oprah winfrey and her long-time partner stedman graham - by claiming oprah's been getting all cozy with another man - i'm assuming the guy in question is pictured standing next to ms. winfrey over on portofino, italy a few weeks ago (he looks like her bodyguard to me) over the past few months oprah & stedman have been featured a bunch of times on the enquirer cover - a sign that maybe there really is trouble in their relationship but nobody knows what's really going on (except maybe her BFF gayle king)
in other drama there's heather locklear who apparently fled from rehab - with her doctors dramatically stating 'she will die' - gosh i certainly hope not - that would be terrible (and we'd know who to blame) also on health scare is legendary actor paul newman who is rumored to not be doing so well at age 83 - he's an incredible person (married to actress joanne woodward since 1958!) and was so damn good looking back in the day (hello butch cassidy and the sundance kid) when he passes on that's going to be a huge loss for hollywood - they don't make talent like that anymore!
besides health issues we've got marriage drama for the 'pregnant man' thomas beatie - the couple's new baby is causing strife... and then there could be trouble for mariah carey and her new hubby nick cannon - i swear if their union lasts through the end of this year i'll tattoo myself with 'mariah & nick 4EVA' (no worries it won't last...) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
good evening! this week's national enquirer claims legendary diva cher is about to get hitched again (i believe this would be her second trip down the aisle) with a guy twenty-four years younger than her - who is supposedly an ex member of 'hells angels' - we've always known that cher has had a thing for bad boys who happen to be younger than her (remember bagel boy rob camilletti?) at least she's apparently putting a prenuptial agreement in place since girlfriend is totally loaded! don't expect a big fancy ceremony though - it sounds like she's going low-key with a quickie ceremony over in las vegas (where she's currently playing at caesar's palace - which i must go see!) however i just read that she's totally denying the report of an impending wedding...the cover also suggests it might soon be time for jennifer aniston to take her second trip down the aisle with her new beau john mayer - they still strike me as an odd couple but if they're happy - i am too! (not that my opinion really matters that much to them) anyways right now i'm heading down to house of blues on sunset to see the veronicas & natasha bedingfield - i think it's going to be a fun show (pocketfuls of sunshine all around!) popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
good evening! here's the perfect national enquirer cover to kick off the upcoming holiday weekend - with the best and worst celebrity beach bodies (britney spears is featured prominently for letting it all hang out - at least she looks 1000x better than she did just a few months ago...) i'm totally going to try and hit the beach in the next few days - i'll totally keep my eyes peeled for any stars lounging out (especially since i'm thinking i want to head up to malibu) besides all the beach flabby flab there's a shocking allegation concerning my dear heather locklear - the magazine claims her real problem is cocaine! gosh i certainly hope not (at least she's not on the amy winehouse express...)
i bet before we know it ms. locklear will be back on the scene - she has always appeared to have her head screwed on straight - i swear that her former BFF denise richards kicked off all of heather's issues - thankfully ms. locklear is getting help with whatever her actual problems might be...go team heather! there's also drama being featured for kelly ripa and her super hottie hubby mark consuelos - there's been rumors for months now that all is not well with their marriage - although she can be a little annoying i do enjoy watching her morning banter with regis philbin - i hope the couple can manage to work out their issues - they're so cute together! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
PS i have to point out (before someone else does) that the picture of actress reese witherspoon is from two years ago - i remember because i posted it - plus it's the very same picture she sued STAR magazine over!
good evening boys & girls! this week's national enquirer is featuring more drama for dr. phil mcgraw and his wife robin with the claim that all is not well with their marriage! last night dr. phil was at the george michael concert along with his wife - but then he was called out by george for not having a good time - everyone booed (myself included) his sorry ass - word is that he quickly left after all the hoopla! (i suppose i would leave too after being booed by an entire arena...) no wonder robin might want to leave his self-help ass - he's a total stick in the mud - i'd kick him out too!
also featured on the cover is my dear heather locklear who is taking time out right now to deal with depression and anxiety issues - but that sounds like a nice way of saying girlfriend has issues with 'booze and pills' (heck i'd have issues too if my boyfriend's hair looked like this) i've always been on 'team heather' and i hope all of her stress isn't due to her one-time BFF denise richards who fucked her over royally! i'm hoping that heather will soon finally be able to relax and move on from any drama she might be enduring - i love the fact that she's with jack wagner - they totally make a kick-ass couple! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
oh no! there's more drama being featured on the cover of the latest national enquirer for one of my favorite people kirstie alley - who hasn't called jenny craig for months now! apparently she collapsed (while weighing in at a supposed 240lbs) but luckily her pals rushed to her side - girlfriend is going to need to find a way to shave off some pounds - i'd love to see her work again (the last thing i remember her doing was fat actress which was hilarious) she's a great comedic actress and if she isn't working simply because of her weight - that's a total shame! (although her wikipedia entry lists her being in a movie next year called nailed) and i've mentioned this a number of times before here on popbytes - you must catch her hidden gem of a performance in woody allen's 1997 flick deconstructing harry (oh my word - the best clip from the movie is posted below (the audio is probably not safe for work...) god bless youtube (there's also a great scene in the same film with judy davis)
in other gossip tidbits we've got britney spears begging baby daddy and ex-hubby kevin federline to marry her again - i can't believe i'm saying this - but it actually sounds like a splendid idea! plus there's cher getting a head-to-toe makeover costing a whooping $500,000 dollars - i'm dying to go to see her new las vegas show - she's a total legend - in her own words 'after the apocalypse there still will be cockroaches and cher' - staying around after the end of the world apparently doesn't come cheap!
PS it's great that dogs now have a place to worship but i certainly don't have anytime to go to church (never my favorite place - i haven't been in years - oh strike me down now) and if anybody thinks i'm going to take my three dogs to church (who would just bark their heads off rather than pray) that's so not going to happen!
PSS i'm still in total shock over the death of tim russert - it's all so sad - you just never know when it's your time to pass onto the other side - it's all about 'no day but today'
good evening - while i'm watching the laker game - i've got a fresh bit of gossip for you all courtesy of national enquirer which is featuring former president bill clinton front & center with more of his supposed infidelity & cheating ways and the mistress (not actress gina gershon - apparently she's a rich divorcee and is pictured & named inside...) he's been able to keep while hillary clinton was busy working her ass off on her campaign to secure the democratic presidential nominee (which as you all know sadly she lost out to barack obama (featured here & here on previous enquirer covers) which irks me oh so slightly - if he picks hillary as his running mate - i'll be totally back on board) i love the pictures used on the cover - bill has that guilty goofy look - while mrs. clinton has her 'i'm not taking any of bill's shit' face on! in other gossip news - don't be surprised if mary-kate olsen checks into rehab soon...janet jackson (i secured tickets to her show this morning - woo hoo!) could be having a secret wedding with her man troll jermaine dupri...and lisa marie presley is having twin girls and then will leave hollywood forever (yet she was never really a fixture on the scene - yet i wish she would work on making more music - she's actually really talented - it must be those presley genes) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
PS bill's apparent ex-mistress (she broke up with him) has been revealed as 48 year old julie tauber mcmaho - you can read more about her over on the magazine's website...
good evening! (oh i had a bunch of drama to deal with tonight but all is ok now - phew) the latest issue of national enquirer is all about dirty hollywood divorces - just a few weeks ago two new scandalous marital situations exploded onto the scene - first up was country superstar shania twain (i love her) who is now getting out of her marriage of fourteen years to one of her producers robert john 'mutt' lange - he was supposedly having an affair with one of ms. twain's longtime assistants marie-anne thiébaud (she's married too - there's an interview w/ her husband inside the magazine) all of shania's personal drama aside - i seriously hope she's got a new album on the horizon soon! i feel like she fell off the face of the earth for a long spell - and now she's coming back a single lady and still looks great - it's time to strike while the iron is hot - with at the very least a new song! this divorce has a juicy element to it but the whole bill murray divorce mess seems like it's going to get really icky & ugly - his wife jennifer butler murray of eleven years claimed a bunch of nasty allegations including abuse, adultery, & addiction! getting divorced must totally suck but it seems everyone these days goes through at least one - it's quite common especially when it comes to hollywood! popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo
good morning! here's a little gossip to fill up on for friday - it's the latest issue of national enquirer featuring britney spears' old pal dr. phil mcgraw whose marriage is supposedly still on the rocks - and i guess he's worth a shit load of money - $200 million dollars (all his self-help crap must have paid off) which he's ready to give to his wife robin mcgraw only if she protects his 'secrets' - how juicy! there's a couple of other gossip items - including the obvious - like mariah carey's new hubby nick cannon spending her massive fortune (heck i would too) who knows how long that gravy train will run - it's time for mr. cannon to load up while he can - i'm sorry to get all negative about 'new love' but there's simply no way that marriage is going to last longer than six months (maximum) oh thank heavens the weekend is almost here - i'm really tired after last night's R.E.M. concert but hopefully i'll make it through the day! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
good evening y'all! below is the latest cover of national enquirer which last week broke the news of a split between jodie foster and her partner cydney bernard and now they've got a story about jodie's new younger womancindy mort who may have caused the split...ms. foster met ms. mort (who used to date actress melanie mayron (thirtysomething) with whom she shares two children) on the set of her flick the brave one - like i mentioned before jodie is an extremely private lady so i doubt we'll be hearing anything about the situation from her directly...don't expect to see her on the view anytime soon (quick sidenote: i'm not a fan of denise richards but i think whoopi goldberg was a bit harsh with her...i actually started to feel a drop bad for ms. richards (shocking - i know) i'm going to have to tune into her upcoming reality mess denise richards: it's complicated which kicks off on memorial day along with another trainwreck living lohan)
the main cover story is focused on scandalous drama between oprah winfrey and her man of over twenty years stedman graham who is still supposedly writing a tell-all book worth reportedly $10 million bucks - that apparently contains a bunch of ms. winfrey's dirty little secrets including stedman catching her in bed with another woman (hello gayle) her fights with barack obama's wife michelle plus a pregnancy secret - everyone knows i'm a huge fan of ms. winfrey's - i seriously hope none of this is true but the magazine has been harping on the couple for quite some time now - and they do actually nail stories on the head way more than you might think - we'll totally need to keep our eyes on this situation! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo
hey hey! this week's national enquirer broke word of a supposed split between jodie foster and longterm partner of fourteen years cydney bernard (although apparently they're still living under the same roof) i doubt we'll hear much about the situation from ms. foster - she's always been fiercely private about her personal life - and still has yet to officially 'come out' as a lesbian - and she shouldn't have to - that's totally her own business although i do suspect she'll be opening up at some point! i've always loved & respected ms. foster as an actress although i simply couldn't bear to see her last movie nim's island - totally not my type of flick
moving on to the larger story on the cover (literally) we've got pregnant lisa marie presley looking huge last month - she must be ginormous by now (she's only halfway through her pregnancy) maybe she'll up angelina jolie (pregnant with twins) by one and drop triplets - we certainly haven't seen a pair of triplets in hollywood lately (i can't even recall one celebrity pregnancy that was more than twins - can you?) she also sounds like a total nightmare to deal with at the moment - those baby hormones must drive some ladies extra crazy - they're claiming ms. presley is having tantrums & meltdowns galore (she's a real-life pregzilla - stand back people!) plus they get all dramatic with 'she'll gain 100lbs' which does seem like an awful lot of extra baby weight to carry around - i wish lisa marie and her musician hubby michael lockwood all the luck in the world - it sounds like the couple might need it! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
