Whitney Houston’s Death was Inevitable
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Obituaries,
Whitney Houston's sister-in-law says it was inevitable the singer would die early.
The "I Will Always Love You" hitmaker, 48, was found dead in a bathtub in her Beverly Hilton Hotel suite last month and Patricia Houston admits she always thought Whitney would lose her battle with drink and drugs.
"I would be kidding myself to say otherwise," added Patricia, who is married to Whitney's brother Gary.
Before her tragic death, Whitney - who had a long history of drink and drug addiction - had been trying to turn her life around but Patricia wasn't convinced. "Things were changing, very much so... it wasn't about substance abuse or anything like that relative to the latter days or anything like that. t was just more of a lifestyle. I was afraid for other things. I saw her chasing a dream, you know, looking for love in all the wrong places," she told Oprah Winfrey.

Jon Hamm hates the way "stupid" celebrities like Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian are celebrated.
The Mad Men actor can't understand why Hollywood has rejected the idea of an "elite" of talented stars in favor of personalities acting like "f***ing idiots."
"We're at a place where the idea of being elite is somehow considered a negative. Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated. Being a f***ing idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture, because you're rewarded significantly. And incuriousness has become cool. It's celebrated. It doesn't make sense to me."
Jon struggled to get his big break in Hollywood and gave himself a five-year deadline to land a major role after witnessing how "depressing" it was seeing other actors flounder for even longer: "I knew a few people who had gone a little longer than that and it turned into a depressing model."

Jessica Simpson "couldn't wait" to pose naked. The heavily-pregnant star - who has previously struggled with her fluctuating weight - bared all for the cover of Elle magazine and admitted she is currently feeling more confident about her body than ever.
"Normally I'm hoping to be 107 pounds and I don't eat, but I ate cheesecake before we shot. I wasn't nervous at all, Normally, I'm so shy. I'm not the person you see photographed in a bikini on a beach. But for some reason, being pregnant, it's so easy for me. I feel so comfortable in my skin."

Nicole Richie is "not ready" to have another child. The fashion designer hasn't ruled out having more kids with husband Joel Madden but says they are currently too busy with work and raising daughter Harlow, four, and son Sparrow, two.
"I'm not ready for baby number three - it's not something I'm discussing with Joel at the moment, but maybe we'll have another child sometime in the future. It's a full-time job taking care of two children but they mean everything to me. It's hard to balance being a full-time mum and having a career, but somehow you manage."

Olivier Martinez Confirms Halle Berry Engagement
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Engagements, Style,
Olivier Martinez has confirmed his engagement to Halle Berry.
The 46-year-old French actor - who met Halle on the set of Dark Tide in 2010 - has finally gone public with their plans to marry.
Asked about the engagement, he said, " Yes, of course it's true."
Speaking ahead of the opening of his new restaurant, Villa Azur, in Miami on Saturday, he also set the record straight about who designed the New Year's Eve actress' emerald and yellow gold ring. Jewelry designer Gurhan claimed to be the brains behind the ring in a statement to People, but Olivier says it was actually created by Parisian jeweler Robert Mazlo - who he says has been making jewelry for, "kings and queens for many centuries."
"There is a jeweler taking credit for doing the ring and it's a lie! They have nothing to do with this," he explained, talking to the Miami Herald newspaper.

Billy Bob Thornton ‘Didn’t Want Kids with Angelina Jolie’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Divorce, Rumors,
Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton's marriage ended because he didn't want kids, according to one of his ex-wives.
Melissa deBin-Parish - who was married to the 56-year-old Bad Santa actor from 1978 to 1980 - claims it was Billy's lack of desire for children that drove them apart: "I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he did not want to be around children back then. Look at the timeline: she adopted Maddox and then, [Billy] was gone."
The pair - who met in 1999 on the set of Pushing Tin and married after just two months of dating in 2000 - split just three months after adopting Maddox, now 10 - who has since been adopted by Angelina's current partner Brad Pitt.
But Melissa admits she doesn't know why they were together in the first place:

Elizabeth Olsen Rejects ‘It Girl’ Tag
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Child Stars,
Elizabeth Olsen thinks her 'It girl' tag is an "ephemeral thing."
The Martha Marcy May Marlene actress - the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - explained while the term has helped her launch her career, she wants to be an "older lady" when she retires from acting.
"I always joke that the term 'It girl' is such an ephemeral thing. And I'm really tying to have a long career until I'm ready to retire as an older lady. So for me, it's really nice that it has helped me kind of start my career and I'm so thankful that it got the attention that it did. Because now I'm in such a cool position of choosing really interesting roles."
While Elizabeth admits she doesn't talk with her A-list siblings "directly about work," they do advise her on what roles she should take: "We don't really talk too directly about work. If we do, it's more just about, 'I'm having a hard time making a choice, can you help me out?' Just anything that you'd ask anyone in your family if you trust their opinions. But, really, all they've done their entire lives was work and they're really amazing workers. They're such strong women that have so many different companies to take over and run and it's just amazing to have those types of women in your family."
Brooke Mueller’s Assault Charge ‘to be Dismissed’

Brooke Mueller's assault charge is "likely to be dismissed."
The 34-year-old star - who has two-year-old twin sons Bob and Max with ex-husband Charlie Sheen - was arrested in Aspen, Colorado, last December for the alleged assault of Llana Little and possession of cocaine.
However, while she will still face a judge in several weeks under the drugs charges, the battery case looks likely to be thrown out of court due to lack of evidence.
"The assault charge will likely be dismissed because the evidence just doesn't prove that Brooke touched Llana Little. The women exchanged heated words, but Brooke is absolutely adamant that she didn't lay a finger on Llana and the district attorney is inclined at this point to recommend the charge be dismissed. This doesn't mean that Brooke is totally off the hook though. She will plead no contest to a misdemeanor cocaine possession charge and she will likely be sentenced to community service and ordered to pay a fine. She won't do any jail time though because she is considered a first time offender and this is the sentence that anyone in a similar situation would face," a source told RadarOnline.com.

Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston’s ‘Strained Friendship’
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Dating, Divorce, Rumors,
Jennifer Aniston's friendship with Courteney Cox has reportedly become "strained" since she started dating Justin Theroux.
The pair have been inseparable since meeting at the Friends audition in 1994, but Courteney apparently feels Jennifer has "forgotten" about her since moving in with Justin.
"Jennifer's priorities have obviously changed since meeting Justin," a source said.
Courteney, 47, supported Jennifer through her 2005 divorce from Brad Pitt, and often invited her to holiday with husband David Arquette and their seven-year-old daughter Coco. But the Scream actress is now alone having separated from David in 2010, and is said to be feeling neglected by her loved-up best friend.
"Courteney must feel that Jen has completely forgotten what it's like to be the single girl and that will hurt given how supportive she and David were to Jen over the years," the source added.
Kristen Bell wants her bottom to resemble ''two round cupcakes''.
The 31-year-old actress - who strips down to her underwear in new series House of Lies - admitted she upped her exercise regime when she found out she would be stripping off, but said those who expect to see her fully nude can "dream on."
"I want two round cupcakes, always. I kicked my buns and abs sets into high gear when I knew I'd have to be in my bra and underwear on House of Lies. But I don't show my crack! All the Mr. Skins of the world are like, 'Ooh, Kristen gets naked!' I'm like, 'Dream on!'"
It would appear Kristen's fiance, Dax Shepard, is also a fan of her "cupcake" rear, as she joked that the couple "nauseate" themselves with how "mushy" they can be: "We nauseate ourselves with how mushy we are," she said.
