The Hollywood Princess vs the Porn Star

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:19:03 -0800

Sandra Bullock may have fought some on-screen legal battle over her stellar career in the movies, but the actress is currently squaring up to a real-life legal drama.

Bullock and husband Jesse James, who tied the knot in 2005, are applying for full custody of his youngest child, five-year-old Sunny. Sunny is James' daughter with his second ex-wife (Bullock is the third Mrs James), porn star Janine Lindemulder. ...

Rihanna back on top

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:45:06 -0800

Robyn Rihanna Fenty is bouncing back better than ever after, by anyone's standards, what's been a pretty tough year. Rihanna, who's still only 21 years old, survived the media frenzy which came with being assaulted by her then-boyfriend Chris Brown on the eve of the Grammy awards in February, subsequent reconciliation and marriage rumours, a photo of her bruised and bloodied face being leaked to the media - and Brown's court appearances and sentencing. ...

In the gossip mags

There's rather a Kiwi flavour to the mags this week. What's involved in a Kiwi flavour? I imagine it as a combination of Reduced Cream dip, tomato sauce, a dash of sunscreen and the whiff of an old jandal. At any rate, local goss is a welcome taste of homegrown that's often few and far between in the gossip trade.

No Angie and Brad to be seen on a cover. No Jennifer Aniston. ...

The wishy-washy Bachelor pops the question

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:05:35 -0800

I've been out of the office for most of this week, so on the premise that it's better late than never (although it may not be for some!) I bring you the gossip mags - express version! Like a short black instead of lounging around sipping a cappuccino. Or that microwave rice that you know you shouldn't buy because it's overpriced - but you do anyway, cause it's quick and you can't really be bothered with the real stuff. ...

Cruise's co-star calls him out

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:45:52 -0800

Every once in a blue moon, someone tells the truth in Hollywood. Finally every movie or TV show wasn't a brilliant learning experience. An actress admits she does have to diet, and she hates it. Or someone admits that working with Hollywood's crème de la crème of talent isn't always an uplifting, motivating inspiring experience. They're not always wonderful human beings. Some of them are pricks! And some of them, if Bronson Pinchot is to be believed, are just weirdos. ...

Life's a bitch for Paris Hilton's pets

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:21:15 -0800

Self-proclaimed animal lover Paris Hilton recently bought a mini-pig to add to the veritable menagerie of animals she keeps at her Los Angeles home.

The tiny pigs, which grow to a full weight of around 29 pounds, are super cute and the hottest trend in pets at the moment in the US. Prices start at US$3,500 for the kind Paris purchased and go as high as $4,500.

Paris purchased her pig from
