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 on martha 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 dating angie 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 fey must 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 edwards pictured 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.
