Hookup and Breakup Rumors: Sienna & Getty 'Cooling Off'?
Posted Nov. 3, 2008

Has a recent pair of romantic getaways caused Sienna Miller and Balthazar Getty to want to get away from each other? The London Daily Mail claims the shirts-optional squeezes, who were photographed sharing a lingering lip-lock in New York last week and groping each other in Italy the week before, are going through a rough patch. Among the purported problems plaguing their bad PR-generating dalliance: Getty's failure to file for divorce from wife Rosetta, the mother of his four children, and Miller's love of the nightlife, which doesn't jibe with the actor's lower-key life. "Sienna is back in London to give them both some cooling-off time," a source alleges to the paper. "They are still together at the moment, but she has said things aren't good. There have been some pretty unpleasant rows, largely over Balthazar's reluctance to commit." The paparazzi-suing starlet is supposedly "devastated" over the turn of events. "She knows she's been branded a marriage wrecker, but she swears it isn't the case," defends the confidant. "She says the marriage was over when she and Balthazar met and that he was ready to move on. He promised her the Earth, but he hasn't kept to any of his promises and has made no moves as far as a divorce is concerned." Sienna, adds the snitch, "is totally paranoid he is going to go back to his family. She feels very let down by Balthazar." (Something tells us she's not the only one.) The actress has also been "missing her party lifestyle," blabs the insider. "She has come back to have some fun and forget about Balthazar for a while."

Sharing an octogenarian with his two other girlfriends probably does a number on one's self-esteem, which might explain why "Girls Next Door" blonde Holly Madison, 28, has quickly rebounded from Hugh Hefner with ooky illusionist Criss Angel, who last year hypnotized romanced the A-list likes of Cameron Diaz. The Playmate and the mind freaker, who were first linked back in September, puckered up for the cameras on Friday in Las Vegas for the premiere of Angel's critically gutted Cirque du Soleil production, "Believe." "This is one of the most special evenings for me in my life, and I cannot think of a more beautiful person, a more special person, inside and out, than Holly to spend it with," Angel enthused to People, before classily adding to "Extra," "You want the exclusive? We're good friends and we love spending time with each other. ... Friends with benefits, yeah!" As for her seven-year relationship with the Playboy icon, Madison says, "I want to be with somebody I can have more of a future with eventually. Hef and I can't get married and have kids. ... So, it was fun while it lasted, but it wasn't right for my old age. I got too old for Hef."

They're no longer engaged, but Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault still appeared to be feeling the amour as they took in a weekend soccer game in his hometown of Rennes, France. "They were very together," an eyewitness tells People. "They talked a lot during the match and exchanged tender looks. ... They seemed very much in synch with each other." The actress and the moneybags mogul, who are parents to 1-year-old cutie-pie Valentina, called it quits in July, but they've recently been spotted spending quality time together in Los Angeles and Paris, leading to reconciliation speculation.

Simon Cowell may be experiencing the exact same emotional response to being dumped by raspy-voiced "Extra" reporter Terri Seymour as he did to the end of Sanjaya's reign of coiffure terror on "American Idol," namely, relief. "Simon has basically been waiting for Terri to announce the relationship is over for months," a pal tells the London Daily Mail. "She has been a weight around his neck for a long time, but the problem was that his mother absolutely adored Terri and thought the world of her, so Simon was in a bit of a rut. ... Simon is hugely relieved. He said, 'Thank God' when he heard Terri had gone public with the split." While Cowell, 49, may not be upset about their parting of ways after six years of togetherness, his mom sure is. "Everyone in our family loves her. She's like part of the family and always will be. At the end of the day, Simon doesn't want a family, and I think that's got a lot to do with it," Mama Cowell shares with the London Sunday Mirror, before chiming in to the Mail, "The split was really based on the fact that she wanted a baby and to get married." Simon's rep confirmed that rug rats were a sticking point, telling People, "In the past, Terri has said that she wants kids but that just isn't Simon." And despite rumblings linking Seymour, 34, to -- ewww -- Stephen Dorff, the mouthpiece insists, "Nobody else is involved, certainly not on Simon's side." Meanwhile, it turns out Terri may have received a lovely parting gift for losing the game of love with the "Idol" dream-crusher. The Mirror says he bought her a house in Los Angeles.

Madonna Post-Guy: Drinks with Penn, Mothering Britney?
Madonna reaches out; plus, romance rumors with Lindsay & Sam, Leonardo & Kate, Paris & Benji, Nicollette & David Spade, Amy & Blake and much more ...

Posted Nov. 24, 2008

Now that Madonna is officially free of Guy Ritchie, is she looking to reconnect with a couple of people from her past? Not only was the Big M recently spied having a drink with her first ex-husband, Sean Penn, but she's also believed to be trying to bring Britney Spears back into her inner circle.

On Wednesday night, Madonna, 50, reportedly raised a glass with Penn at the Greenwich Hotel in New York following her weed-whacked appearance (see above) at a Gucci bash.

Their conversation remains a mystery, although perhaps the former flames were reminiscing about their famously volatile four-year union, which ended in 1989, not long after the well-muscled pop icon filed an assault complaint against the ornery actor.

"They have a nice rapport," a mole tells People. "There's nothing romantic there. They're just good friends."

So good that Penn, who reconciled with wife Robin Wright earlier this year, supposedly text-messaged Madonna after filming his lip-lock scene with James Franco in "Milk," telling her, "I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why."

Meanwhile, the London Daily Mail speculates that Madonna is looking to lure Britney back into the Kabbalah fold, a rumor that comes a few weeks after the road-to-recovery-walking popster joined her onstage at the Los Angeles stop of her Sticky & Sweet tour.

"Madonna is determined she can get Britney back into Kabbalah," a source maintains to the paper. "She has offered her a suite of rooms at her apartment in New York and has told Britney she is her surrogate mother."

Oy.

Spears lost interest in the religion in 2006, when she was pregnant with Jayden James. "I no longer study Kabbalah," she announced. "My baby is my religion."

Madonna had initially turned Brit on to the mystical offshoot of Judaism in 2003, the same year they sucked face at the MTV Music Awards. Spears was often seen toting around religious texts (though rarely spied cracking one open) and sporting an evil eye-repelling red string around her wrist.

"Madonna first introduced Kabbalah to me at a time in my life when it was much needed," Britney wrote in March of 2005. "It has helped me get rid of a lot of negative influences that were guiding me down the wrong path ... I was able to look within myself, clear all the negative energy and turn my life around."

According to the Daily Mail's mole, "Britney used to wear the red Kabbalah bracelet and read the books Madonna gave her and she is thinking about giving it another chance."

Still, keep in mind that the carefully monitored popster can't even drink a bottle of Kabbalah water without the go-ahead from dad Jamie, who remains her string-pulling guardian until the court says otherwise.

"Britney wouldn't really comment on that," her rep tells the paper of the red-string rumors. "It's just a case of wait and see what happens."

Madonna, for her part, took comfort in her religion on Friday, the same day a London court dissolved her nearly eight-year union to Ritchie: She was seen at the Kabbalah Center in New York with kids Lourdes, 12, Rocco, 8, and David, 3.

But she was apparently feeling slightly less pious at a concert in Philadelphia the night before. She gave a two-finger salute that may or may not have been directed at her ex, who is rumored to have renounced claims to her $500 million fortune in exchange for equal custody of their sons.

Madonna acknowledged on Sunday that she's relieved to have an outlet to focus her considerable energy instead of dwelling on the split.

"I'm sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life," Madonna explained to The Associated Press. "It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do."

As for Madonna's connection to Alex Rodriguez, who was in New York last week and was recently seen chatting up her BFF Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Hudson at a Miami soiree, the Daily Mail alleges she recently told pals that he's "everything Guy was when they first got together but isn't anymore."

(That supposedly includes a Kabbalah booster, although there are whispers that A-Rod's interest may already be waning.)

"Madonna says she watched Guy turn from a dynamic, witty, suave and funny man when they first met to a middle-aged emotional retard," snipes a snitch. "Madonna says that now the divorce is over, she hopes she can have a civil rapport with Guy for the sake of the children."

Of course, things might be a bit more civil if all these insiders would stop blabbing to the tabloids.

Like the one who tells Britain's News of the World that Madonna was compiling a "damning dossier" on the director in order to strengthen the divorce filing, which cited his "unreasonable behavior," and win custody.

"Madonna was angry because she felt Guy had [reneged] on the deal that they would keep the happily married image going until the end of her current tour," a source tells the tab, adding, "They were like chalk and cheese. It's a miracle they lasted eight years -- and that was down to the kids."

Madonna purportedly had a change of heart on the custody issue -- she is said to have wanted all three tykes to live with her in New York, while Ritchie wanted them to remain in London -- when she overheard Lourdes (her dad is Carlos Leon) on the phone with Guy.

"They were both in tears and told each other they loved and missed each other so much," says the mole. "No mother could fail to be moved by that."

Britney Spears hates the awesome job her dad is doing

As evidenced by her upcoming documentary, Britney Spears isn't digging the insanely miraculous job her father Jamie has done of getting her shit in order. Sure, maybe her career's back on track and she can see her kids, but he won't let her see Adnan. Yup, that's right: ADNAN GHALIB the boner-pill testing paparazzo. Turns out Britney still wants to see her former lover but Jamie won't allow it. So, like a big girl, she complained to a judge on Friday. TMZ reports:

She's also been complaining that daddy won't let her go out, especially when she wants to go clubbing at night. Britney also doesn't understand why Jamie won't let her take the kids out during the day.
Bottom line -- she doesn't like her dad as her conservator, but as someone put it, "she likes others even less." On Friday, we're told Britney was complaining about Jamie in court to the Commish -- to the point where she called Brit into chambers with one of the lawyers and spoke with Britney for 45 minutes.
So here's what we're told. Britney is acting like a 15-year-old and isn't very "contrite" about the behavior that led to the conservatorship in the first place.
The good news -- she seems to appreciate what Jamie has done to get her business affairs in order. She clearly doesn't understand he's doing the same for her personal life.

Alright, let's make a list of all the things Jamie Spears won't let Britney do because he's a stupid poophead:

1. See a guy who banged her while she was off her meds then tried to sell the sex tape.
2. Consume alcohol despite a history of mental illness.
3. Take her children out in public so she can leave them at KFC.
4. Throw her million dollar career down the toilet in exchange for an underwear-free lifestyle.
5. Operate a motor vehicle like its her own personal bumper car.

Christ, it's like she's living in a concentration camp. ZOMG! FREE BRITNEY!

salman khan a softie

Bollywood sensation Katrina Kaif is on the cover of the recent issue of Vogue. She has certainly decided to keep away all the blues from the recent bombing of Yuvvraaj on the box office, and went for purple instead.

katrina kaif 1




Katrina Kaif


The reigning queen of Bollywood is featured in a gorgeous silk purple Versace dress for the December 2008 edition. Purple signifies opulence, glory and majesty and the lady who is riding high with six hits in the past definitely signifies purple.

The year-end issue describes her as the ‘Surprise hit of 2008‘, with all the successes she got working with Akshay Kumar. Almost five hit movies in a single year certainly describes the best year in her career. The new movies that we await for her are Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir Kapoor, New York with John Abraham , De Dhana Dhan and Blue.

Katrina also revealed the biggest weakness of Salman.

“He likes to act tough but it is so easy to win him over. Anyone who wants to get close to him only has to act defenseless, play the underdog and say, ‘I have no friends and no one loves me’.”

Well… that said, I must tell you that everything that looks good is not all the time. There are rumors swirling of tension between the couple. Apparently, Katrina is annoyed with a lot of stuff including Salman making fun of her Hindi all the time.

Guess what… Katrina has now sworn to give all her interviews in Hindi!

British Critic Slams Nicole Kidman's 'Acting'

Reviews for the Baz Luhrmann-directed epic Australia starring Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman have been mixed. However, there is no questioning just how strongly London Times critic Melanie Reid feels about Kidman's performance in the film.

To sum it up, Reid states: "Kidman is exquisitely accomplished at being awful." Comparing the Botox-loving new mom to an expressionless porcelain doll, the reviewer gives the Oscar-winner full blame should the film flop at the box office.

In addition, Reid blames Kidman for spawning clones like Keira Knightley and Gwyneth Paltrow "with faces like atrophied dolls, capable of adjusting their emotions only on direction." Ha! Apparently, she's not familiar with the new-new face and why it's supposed to be awesome.

paris hilton booed at,no more loved


Paris Hilton received an unpleasant reception at the Kress in Hollywood this weekend. In fact, she was booed so loudly that she refused to take the stage.

Hilton was at the 16th birthday party for Crystal Audigier, daugher of designer Christian Audigier, because hiring Paris for your daughter's 16th birthday is a much more stylish way to steal her innocence than frat-boys-and-roofies. Paris was supposed to introduce the Pussycat Dolls but, according to a source, when Audigier took the stage and yelled to the crowd, "Do you want to see Paris Hilton?" the entire room burst into boos. Paris was practically in tears and left without taking the stage."

Adding insult to injury, the crowd had just cheered when they thought Britney Spears was coming, which is like losing at darts to Stevie Wonder.

Below are some pics of Paris and Crystal at the birthday bash.
