good morning! so that's where katie holmes might take us because according to the latest cover of STAR magazine - ms. holmes turned down the deal supposedly offered to her by hubby tom cruise (you know the rumored deal to stay married which the magazine featured three weeks ago) although i don't like them as a couple - rumors about them breaking up have been going on for over two years! (check this cover from back in 2007) although i'd love to hear what katie has to say about tom's strange ( scientology) ways - i doubt we ever will - if she did indeed sign a contract when she first hooked up with him - there must have been a clause stating she can't run her mouth if the two decide to split up! i'd love to see her escape from mr. cruise but let's not hold our breathe - we all know he can be pretty persuasive and he's got her under his thumb! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
PS kim kardashian said she would never have plastic surgery but those pics tell a different story!

good morning ... i'm as tired as this story ... please - can't we drop this angle already? i'm so over 'pitting' jennifer aniston and angelina jolie against each other - it's such a tired story - i've been blogging over six years and this story just won't die! the latest cover of STAR magazine is claiming the two ladies are playing mind games with each other - and supposedly brad pitt is helping to add fuel to the fires! what evidence can really exist to prove such a thing ... could you imagine bringing someone up on charges of 'mind games' in a court of law? harassment, stalking, etc. is one thing but mind games? i'd love to know what my pal russell from popsquire would have to say about that! of course covers are meant to sell and unfortunately there's still a lot of 'team aniston' members out there who eat this stuff up ... my pal candace still refers to ms. jolie as a 'husband stealer'! i'm simply done with it - i like both girls and everyone just needs to move on! i've said this oh so many times before - i don't know how else to say it besides ... i'm done! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Dirty tricks! Catty insults! 2am phone calls! It's been almost 5 years since Brad Pitt split from Jennifer Aniston and took up with his Mr. & Mrs. Smith costar Angelina Jolie, but the two women involved in Hollywood's most famous love triangle can't let their bitter rivalry go.
In the Nov. 23 issue of Star we report that the longtime feud is going strong with both women playing mind games with one another. Jen loves digging at Angie by flaunting her relationship with Brad's family while Angie relishes rubbing Jen's nose in the fact that she has six beautiful children with Brad. "Jen and Angie despise each other and take great pleasure in seeing each other squirm," an insider tells Star.
Among the tricks Angie plays are finding from designers what dress Jennifer wants to wear on the red carpet -- then going out to grab it for herself. Jen likes to make late night calls to Brad when he's in France -- conveniently "forgetting" the time difference so she will wake her nemesis in the early hours. SOURCE

good morning! the latest cover of STAR magazine is featuring details on the new book brangelina exposed written by ian halperin which is due out december 1st (just in time for the holidays - the perfect gossip stocking stuffer!) i'm sure brad pitt and angelina jolie aren't thrilled over the release of this book - but i wonder how much of it is really true? supposedly mr. pitt is drinking up a storm while ms. jolie is off having bisexual affairs (amongst other things) i'm taking this all with a grain of salt - to me this just seems like a pathetic attempt to make some money while spreading lies about hollywood's most talked about couple! i doubt brangelina will respond to any of the claims - they're totally above all this nonsense! i'm actually more interested in the side story ... apparently gwyneth paltrow's marriage is in crisis - there's rumors that her adorable hubby rocker chris martin was caught snogging actress kate bosworth (he likes blondes) i wouldn't be surprised if this turns out to be true - don't forget there was chatter a few months ago that the couple was having issues - we'll be keeping a close eye on this possibly scandalous situation! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Brangelina Exposed, by journalist Ian Halperin will reveal the twisted truth behind the picture-perfect Jolie-Pitt façade. "They have successfully manipulated the public into believing a glamorous fairy tale that bears little resemblance to the reality of the pair's life together," according to the author.
Among the couple's many secrets are the deep-seated conflicts which lead to constant behind-closed-doors fighting; Brad's long nights of secret drinking to numb his pain and Angie's growing number of bisexual affairs. SOURCE

How bad can it get? Lindsay Lohan's trip to Paris was a low point even for her! The once-promising actress collapsed during a week-long party, as her vodka, cocaine and prescription pills habits caught up with her. Now as Star reports in its Oct. 26 issue her few remaining friends fear it is too late to saver her. "She's a wreck, a mess, a disaster," one tells Star. "She an obituary waiting to happen."
Despite three trips to rehab and two DUI arrests, all before her 23rd birthday, Linds cannot stop herself from drowning her sorrows. Even the night before her big runway debut with her Emanuel Ungaro clothing line she was up till dawn partying. And once the scathing reviews were in for her line, things got worse. "She was crushed," says one insider who saw her at a bash thrown by photographer Mario Testino.
"Her eyes were red and puffy, and at one point she started shouting and tearing up." Soon after, Lindsay collapsed on a couch and passed out. "Her friends had to get her out of there before things got any worse." READ MORE

Tori was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center late on Sept. 28, complaining of severe abdominal pains, headaches and dizziness. In our Oct. 19 issue Star reveals how doctors quickly ordered a battery of tests, which ruled out pregnancy, ulcers and ovarian cysts. She was given an ultrasound to check for kidney stones and had blood drawn to test for pelvic inflammatory disease, but these tests also came up negative. With no diagnosis, she was released early the next morning.
Two days later she was back in the hospital, but doctors were no closer to finding the specific cause of her illness at the end of her stay. Says a source, "They believe it could be stress-related." READ MORE

(this would also signal that ms. fenty is finally finished with her loser ex-boyfriend chris brown) apparently there could be some 'exclusive photos' of the two caught together - the cover is not a real picture - it's a photoshop composite of two separate pics taken at a VMA afterparty held at NYC's 1oak club (that's an awful shot of justin - here's the original shot of rihanna ... scroll to the bottom) i'll have to check out the inside pages to see what evidence possibly exists! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

After a hot grinding session on Sept. 13 at 1Oak's MTV Video Music Awards bash in NYC, RiRi and JT moved to her hotel room, where they had a steamy, private after party! "They tried to keep it a secret, but Jessica found out within days," a source says. Justin's three-year relationship with Jessica seems to have reached a critical point. "She must be a wreck."
"Rihanna and Justin have been talking and texting on the phone nonstop since the VMAs," a source tells Star. But before Rihanna totally gives in to the attraction, she wants to make sure she's not his lady on the side. A friend reveals: "She asked him on the phone, 'Are you still with Jessica?' And he hinted that things were cooling off between them." READ MORE

(besides porn) i certainly wouldn't mind another barb wire flick - that's such a bad yet super fun movie! unfortunately her reality show pam: girl on the loose didn't work out so well which surprised me since she's quite the kooky character - totally wacky and out of control however she appears to be a genuinely nice person - i know some people don't like her but i've always been on her side - i'd love to party with her! i hope she manages to bounce back from whatever financial drama girlfriend might be dealing with! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo

After months of flirting on the NYC set of their film, The Bounty, Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler's fling has blossomed into the real thing!
Although they tried to keep the relationship on the down low, their sexy secret was blown when they were caught on a dinner date at the romantic Cliff's Edge in Silver Lake, Calif., on Sept. 9. "Everyone in the restaurant was watching Gerard and Jennifer," the restaurant's manager Pierre Cassanova tells Star. "The two of them seemed to get along really well together."
Two nights later, Gerard snuck over to Jen's home for a late night get-together and he brought two bottles of Krug champagne with him! SOURCE

In the Aug. 24 issue of Star, we have world exclusive details about Alaska's former first couple and their disintegrating union: They're sleeping apart, arguing non-stop and losing control of their party-loving daughters!
"Sarah and Todd are fighting all the time," Mercede Johnston -- sister of Levi Johnston, ex-boyfriend of Sarah's eldest daughter, Bristol -- tells Star in an exclusive interview. "When they do, Todd often ends up sleeping on the couch at their home in Wasilla. Bristol used to tell Levi that her parents would argue and bicker over the littlest things, like who was supposed to take out the trash or wash the dishes."
Another possibility, an Alaskan insider tells Star, is that with Sarah's multi-million-dollar book deal in place, "she might even come to some financial agreement for him to stay with her and give the impression of a loving husband, at least through her book tour next year. In that respect, they'd be like the Jon and Kate Gosselin of politics!"
And like the TLC reality stars, Todd and Sarah have their brood of children to worry about -- and their worries keep growing with a new family scandal. Star has an eyewitness account of their 15-year-old daughter Willow drinking vodka and smoking pot at a wild house party! "Her eyes were getting more and more glazed as the night went on," says a source. SOURCE

In the Aug. 17 issue of Star we report that while Angelina was in Los Angeles late last month caring for their six children, Brad was drinking and flirting like a bachelor — with a former flame! — at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in Berlin. Adding insult to injury, Angelina — who's been stressed out about the steady decay of their relationship — planned to join Brad in Germany for the A-list event, but he disinvited her at the last minute.
"Two days before the trip, Brad told her he thought it was best if she didn't come," a source tells Star. "They've been fighting a lot, but this really ripped her heart out." And Brad's bad-boy behavior at the July 28 Basterds after party didn't help their already troubled situation — at all. "Angie lost it because Brad started drinking at a photo call hours before the premiere and kept going until 4 a.m.!" says a source. "She tried calling him a few times, and he didn't pick up — so she kept trying until he finally answered. She was nagging him so much that Brad finally shut his phone off." Brad continued to party with brunette German director — and one-time gal pal — Katja von Garnier! SOURCE

good morning! once again STAR magazine is featuring the whole gosselin scandal front and center (major ugh - i can't stand this story) this time with the supposed real story of what's going on between jon gosselin and kate major - girlfriend quit working at the magazine last week after feeling her new relationship with jon was a conflict of interest ... i still seriously don't get what women see in him but to each his own i guess - right? ( read more about the drama here) to the left of that story - there's jessica simpson - who is newly single after her footballer boyfriend tony romo dumped her ass - and now she apparently met up with country singer kenny chesney at the beach - hopefully the two are just friends - i couldn't picture them being a couple at all (i still have a feeling he's actually gay - just ask renée zellweger) i think ms. simpson should just go hang out with jennifer aniston ... both are quite unlucky in love and i know they'd have plenty of stories to swap ... including ones about their common ex-boyfriend john mayer! i'd like to see both ladies land in a healthy relationship but i wouldn't count on that happening anytime soon! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Tony Romo's sudden decision to dump Jessica Simpson took everyone by surprise — but now Star can reveal one reason behind the split involves country superstar Kenny Chesney. Jessica was openly flirting with Kenny earlier this month during a summer getaway — and we have the picture to prove it. In this week's issue of Star, eyewitnesses describe the shameless flirtfest that proved to be the last straw for Tony Romo.
"She was giving him all her attention, and they seemed very intimate," an eyewitness tells Star of Jessica and Kenny's cabana chat. "They were sitting so close, their heads were together." Tony "looked real jealous that she was talking to Kenny," says a source. He angrily confronted his girlfriend, but when she wouldn't give him the time of day, he stormed off the beach. SOURCE

good morning everybody! this week's STAR magazine is featuring the story i've barely written about here on popbytes ... the whole jon and kate gosselin mess - i don't know why these women are chasing after jon's pudginess - he's not cute plus he has eight kids ... surely hailey glassman can do better than him ( yet she's not exactly a prize herself) although that whole scandal bores me to tears ( read more on the rumored catfight) the top story did peak my curiosity ... you know the biological mother of blanket ( michael jackson's youngest son) is about to show up any day now to try to tell her story (whatever it might be) and add to the circus (with crazy ass ring leader joe jackson) that's been surrounding mr. jackson since he suddenly passed away on june 25th! (i still can't believe he really died) i'm sure her surrogacy with michael was governed by some kind of wacky contract - so i doubt she'll be able to come after custody or money ... but you know some magazine or TV show is totally ready to pay up to hear her side of the story! maybe she doesn't really know much about anything but if girlfriend is hard up for a little cash - now would be her time to step forward! supposedly the picture in the top right corner is blanket's mom (but really that could be a picture of anyone) i'd prefer for her to leave things alone but i just have this gut feeling she's the next crazy character to enter the media spotlight! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
It was one of the biggest mysteries of Michael Jackson's life and has lingered since his sudden death — just who is the mother of his youngest child? Now, after weeks of investigation, sources tell Star in a world exclusive that Blanket's mom is Pia Bhatti.
In our Aug. 3 issue we have the first photo of the one-time dental hygienist, who lives with her husband in a graffiti-riddled suburb of Oslo, Norway - miles from the glitz and glamour that surrounded the late singer - and refuses all requests for interviews. "Pia was sworn to secrecy about Blanket," says one close Jackson source. "Michael always liked the mystique. He never wanted anyone to know the truth about any of his children." SOURCE
good morning y'all! this week's STAR magazine is featuring jennifer aniston front & center once again ... this time they have ms. aniston supposedly trying to get rebound revenge on cutie bradley cooper (who might have been getting cozy with renee zellweger) by supposedly trying to get all up in her co-star hottie gerard butler's business! (they're currently filming the bounty together over in NYC) although i have a sinking feeling - this won't work out either (if she is indeed messing around with mr. butler) i think jen seriously needs to find herself a boyfriend that's not in show business and stop wasting her precious time on actors (and musicians!) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
Jennifer Aniston's not wasting any time when it comes to finding a new man. After a failed fling with Bradley Cooper, she's already moved on to her sexy costar Gerard Butler! "Let me put it this way," says a source on the New York set of their movie, The Bounty. "They're both hot and single! After they finish a scene, they stick around so they can hang out with each other. Neither is in a rush to leave."
In fact, Jen and Gerard are so affectionate on set, sources tell Star, that they often practice kissing scenes even after the cameras stop rolling! "Jen will say, 'I think we need to do that again,'" the source says. "She says Gerard's a great kisser." The pair have adjoining trailers, and they've been seen dashing off to Jen's haven for a private "lunch." During one recent visit, Gerard stayed in Jen's trailer for 30 minutes. SOURCE

good morning! i think after yesterday's grandiose public memorial for michael jackson - everyone will agree with me that not only did we lose an icon and the king of pop - but three adorable children also lost their father (every time i see the clip of paris katherine talking about her daddy i tear up) this week's STAR magazine's cover story is about the uncertain fate of mr. jackson's children ... i firmly believe they need to stay with michael's mother katherine jackson - i know some people don't think they should be around patriarch joe jackson but seven years ago - that's what mr. jackson thought was best - enough said! the children should not go with debbie rowe - she's only looking for another payout - i do not trust that woman at all! (just look at her) plus splitting up the siblings would be the worst thing ever! i hope & pray the courts do not let ms. rowe gain custody - if she does - i know michael will be rolling over in his grave ( wherever that might be) popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
PS the whole thing about the number seven and michael jackson is so damn eerie!
As Star reports in our July 20 issue, the King of Pop's three children are struggling with their devastating loss — and wonder who will raise them now that their doting dad is gone. Prince, Paris and Blanket "are scared and confused," says a family insider. "Michael was everything to them — father, mother, playmate. Now that he's gone, everything is different for them."
While Prince, 12, has tried to put on a brave face for his younger siblings, he often breaks down and sobs uncontrollably. It's the same with Paris, who constantly bursts into tears and runs out of the room — her brief but heartfelt tribute to her father at the Staples Center on Tuesday was typical of her behavior. As for little Blanket, 7, he asks, "Who will be my Mommy?" according to the family insider. SOURCE
