Celebrity Obsession - October 2006

Are the Papparazzi Going Too Far?

October 31st 2006 23:46
The question of whether the papparazzi are taking it too far in trying to get pictures of celeb's has again been raised with the news that an E! Networks producer and cameraman trespassed on Brad Pitts property.

Trespassing charges have been laid and reps for Brad are exploring the legal options that they may take against both the crew who trespassed and the E! Network.

According to news sources the E! crew walked onto Pitt's property where workmen were working on the house.

Now, generally I'm all for the papparazzi having the freedom to photograph celeb's. Lets face it, the majority of stars are looking for publicity. Before they're famous, our stars are courting the papparazzi to get their name out there. Different story once they are famous however.


But, the one place any celebrity should feel safe and protected in, is their own home. Brad Pitt has previously had an incident where a psycho fan broke into his house. So these days, you'd think he'd be pretty unhappy with anyone being there who shouldn't. And what right did the E! crew think they had to wander onto the property. You wouldn't want people just happily wandering around your own house. Why should Brad have to deal with that just because he's famous?

I think, they've taken it too far. For gods sake, Brad and Angelina are in India at the moment. So what was so special at the house that reporters needed to try and get in there?

I don't care what your story is, stay out of celeb's homes. But that's my opinion. What do you think?

Kidman to Adopt Again?

October 31st 2006 22:11
After her recent visit to Kosovo, Nicole Kidman is considering adopting another child.

While adoption has become the new trend among A-list stars, Nicole can at least say she jumped on the bandwagon long before it became trendy. Kidman already has two adopted children Isabella and Connor, who she adopted while married to Tom Cruise.

Nicole's current husband, Keith Urban, is currently in rehab for alcohol addiction.

Now, I know Nic is a great Australian actress and we're supposed to love her (which I don't). But crikey, it'd be a chilly household growing up with her as your mother.

Ryan and Reese Split

October 30th 2006 22:44
It's official. Representatives of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe have confirmed that the two have separated after 7 years of marriage.

Reese and Ryan are parents to 2 children, Ava and Deacon.

Reese and Ryan first met at Reese's 21st birthday party, where, after consuming 7 midori sours she said to him "I think you're my birthday present" (according to the guru's at wikipedia). Ah alcohol, how many relationships would never have been, if not for the effects of our friend alcohol????

There's been speculation for a long time that the relationship between the two has been rocky, with Reese's career going from strength to strength, culminating in an Academy Award for her portrayal of June Carter in Walk the Line. Ryan's movie career however, hasn't attracted nearly the attention that Reese's has.

For the sake of both Ryan and Reese, and their kids, lets hope the divorce proceedings don't follow the ugly trend of getting very nasty, that we've been seeing lately in other celebrity divorces. Hopefully things will be a little more dignified for the two.

Who Said It.......

October 24th 2006 04:31
I enjoy laughing at the very dumb things that celebrities may say or do. I also laugh (very nervously) at the dumb things politicians say and do. Now given that politician are charged with the running of countries, you’d expect them to be a little smarter than your average celebrity. But is that true? Not necessarily. Read the quotes below and see if you can guess whether it was an elected Politician or a celebrity.

1. See, free nations are peaceful nations. Free nations don't attack each other. Free nations don't develop weapons of mass destruction. - Sadly, it was George W Bush who said this. And while I hate to point out when he gets things wrong, I feel compelled to ask, 'Just how many nuclear weapons does the US have George W'? Pretty much, more than the rest of the world combined is the answer

Wesley Snipes Charged With Tax Fraud

Wesley Snipes has been charged with tax fraud after he allegedly failed to file federal income tax returns between 1999-2004, as well as (allegedly) conspiring with 2 others to file amended tax returns for 96 & 97 which fraudulently claimed tax refunds of almost $12 M.

If it's true, then Wesley was just being greedy. He didn't need the $12M refunds. In 96 & 97, he still had a movie career. Now if he was fraudulently claiming for an extra $12M these days.........well, lets just say, 'have you been to see a Wesley Snipes movie lately'????

Bruce Willis Is Finally A Star

Bruce Willis FINALLY received his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in LA.

I can't believe that he's only just received his star! When you consider that Die Hard (my all-time favourite xmas movie) was released in 1988. 18 years ago he uttered one of the most famous movie lines in history. I'm talking of course about "yippee kayay mother f@#ker". They should have given Bruce his own star the minute that film was finished! And if you weren't going to give him his star in the 90's, then surely he deserved it after his big come-back movie, The Sixth Sense???? What was the committee who hands out these stars thinging

Instead of telling Oprah last week that she and Vince Vaughan were still together, perhaps Jennifer Aniston should have told Vince. Given the number of women Vince has been seen lately, it certainly appears as if he thought they were over. However, in the wake of Ms Anistons claims, Vince has had to engage in a bit of damage control.

It's been reported that Vince is planning to sue a tabloid paper for claiming that he had cheated on Jen with a Mystery Blonde at a charity event on Sunday October 8. The paper showed a picture of Vaughan kissing a mystery woman. However, Vince claims that the pictures are seriously misleading

I feel for Mel Gibson. The poor guy gets drunk, spews forth with an anti-semitic tirade at the cops who arrest him, and suddenly the whole world knows of his indiscretion. And in true narrow-minded fashion, all anyone cares about is his anti-jewish comments. We don't seem to care that he got behind the wheel of his car while hopelessly drunk and could have easily killed himself or someone else. No, what everyone cares about is that Mel Gibson apparently hates Jews.

I don't condone what he said (as someone who considers herself extremely tolerant, ignorance and racism are qualities that I abhore), but I think we need some perspective on the whole issue

Are Bad Girls the New Bad Boys?

October 16th 2006 00:22
We all know that stars behaving badly makes for great tabloid fodder. But it used to be the Bad Boys that got all the attention. Who can forget the 80's brat packers. Did anyone care what Molly Ringwald did? No, they all wanted to see how Judd Nelson, Charlie Sheen, Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez were partying up a storm. We all read about Johnny Depp trashing hotel rooms. Sean Penn hitting anything that moved. Oasis trashing anything and anyone who got in their path, Rock bands filled with testosterone laden men were an accident waiting to happen.

But where have all the bad boys gone now? Flick through any newspaper or magazine and I'll bet it's not the badly behaved teens/lads/men who are causing worry to parent groups. It's the ladies that are a source for concern

For someone who LOVES everything about Hollywood, celebrities and stars, I'm remarkably restrained when it comes to trying to go about meeting any of these people (probably because while I revel in the trashyness of Hollywood, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't like most of the people I read about!). Yet, I know a lot of people who have gone to great lengths to meet their heroes.

My single close brush with fame came while I was last visting the US. I spent a week or so in LA (plenty long enough thank you!), and when I walked out of Tiffany's (a girl can dream), Ron Howard and his wife walked right past me. Then later that same day, I was trying on a pair of Jimmy Choo mules in Saks of 5th Avenue (I know it sounds like I'm name dropping here, but what you probably will never understand is firstly how important shoes are to me, and secondly, that buying Jimmy Choo's in Saks was one of the high points of my entire life) when Alex Kingston was also trying on a pair of Jimmy Choo boots right beside me. I know many of you probably don't love a B-grade celeb as much as I do, and are probably wondering who Alex Kingston is. She was the English doctor in ER who eventually married Dr Greene. And even though we could have bonded over the gorgeous shoes we were both about to purchase, I didn't say anything to her

I don't about everyone else, but for me, it was kind of a quiet week in Celebrity Land, with the most notable news being celebs in trouble with the law.......

1. Paris Hilton - Life is always busy for Miss Hilton. Last week she was officially charged with Drink Driving (for an incident a couple of weeks ago when she was arrested for drink driving....though she claims not to have been drunk). She also had a showdown with her latest man, Travis Barker (of Blink 182), estranged wife late last week. While out at a nightclub, there was an incident between Paris and Shanna Moakler. Supposedly Shanna was hurling obscenities at Paris until Stavros poured a drink over Shanna's head. There was talk of people being pushed down stairs and that Shanna may have struck Paris. Both ladies have filed police reports. Sounds like they're both some classy ladies

ou could pick yourself any celebrity to be your friend, who would it be? Think carefully. Who do you think would be an ideal friend for you? Someone you could have fun with, talk to, go out with and just generally hang out with?

I have a list as long as my arm of celebrities that I’d like to meet, or sleep with, or sing on stage with, or attend an awards party. But the list of celeb’s that I think I’d actually like to be friends with is much much smaller

Watching the news last night, I was absolutely incensed when I heard that David Wirrpunda had had to come out and apologise for not shaking the hand of the Aboriginal girl who handed him his premiership medal.

Wirrpunda was one of 8 players who forgot to shake the hands of the kids who presented them with their premiership medals. Not, because the football players had some kind of grudge against the kids, or a hidden agenda. But rather, because they were still high on the adrenaline that comes from winning a Grand Final by 1 point less than 10 minutes earlier

Well last week was certainly the week for celebrity break ups:

1. Harry Morton confirmed that he and Lindsay Lohan are officially "taking a break" from their 2 month relationship. According to sources it was Lindsay's immaturity and partying that were the reasons for the split. Lindsay's strategy to pay-back Harry seems to be to drink as much as possible and shag as many men as possible. Not sure what she hopes to achieve, but I'm sure it'll be fun for her
