Stars in Need of a Hair Change
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Hair Styles, Style, Photos, Editorials,
After what seemed liked years of long, straight and bland hair, much ado was recently made when Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out with a new ‘do. Apparently she too was getting tired of her coif - either that, or she just couldn’t handle the kiddies pulling on it incessantly. Whatever the reason, the change was much needed.
For every star that keeps us guessing with their ever-changing styles, there’s surprisingly another who could afford to mix things up a bit. While it’s important to stick with styles that work for you, there comes a point when someone can work a style to death. With all of the money some of these celebrities have, you’d think they could afford to be a bit more adventuresome with their looks. What’s the worst that could happen? If the experiment goes wrong, they could always recolor or reattach.
The group of ladies on the following page are women I’ve been hoping to see something new from in quite some time. Aside from slight variations in some cases, these ladies have been pretty much been sporting the same old thing for ages.

DWTS Celebrity Updates: Laila Ali, Sara Evans
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Sports, Television, Engagements, Pregnancies, Where Are They Now?,
Mirror ball, schmirror ball. Two former participants of Dancing with the Stars have had much better things to celebrate in the past few weeks.
In an upcoming issue of Essence magazine, Laila Ali reveals that she will soon have an entirely new role to master. The professional boxer - and Season Four competitor - is now becoming a mom.
Laila, 30, married former NFL player Curtis Conway last July, just a few months after her dancing run ended. Although this will be the couple’s first child together, Conway, 37, already has two sons and a daughter.
Pregnant or not, Ali is still expected to return as co-host of American Gladiators this summer.

The appearance of pop princess Britney Spears on CBS helped boost show ratings and created buzz for weeks, lighting the Internet aflame. Is it possible that Ms. Spears could light the London stage on fire as well?
In what is truly one of the more disturbing pieces of news I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading, I have learned there are rumors Brit may be up for the role of - get this - Blanche DuBois in a theatrical production of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The role was made famous by Vivien Leigh (perhaps better known as Scarlett O’Hara), winning her an Oscar for the film version of the Tennessee Williams play (starring a then-unknown Marlon Brando).
Okay. Britney Spears is southern and more than a little tragic - a clear enough parallel to Blanche DuBois. However, Spears is much too young for the role and has never proven herself as anything like a dramatic actress. The tragedy of DuBois would undoubtedly be overshadowed by the tragedy of Britney if she really did play the role, and the alcoholic actions of Blanche may hit too close to Britney’s home for British fans to remain comfortable. Besides all of that, it’s a completely ludicrous idea.

Singer Fergie Denies Pregnancy
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Engagements, Pregnancies, Photos, Rumors,
Pregnancy rumors for Fergie have been coming non-stop ever since she became engaged last year. But recent pictures of her (like the one above) looking a bit puffier than normal really got the news hounds wondering. Could that bump be a baby bump?
Well according to the singer herself, no. In an interview with Extra, she explains why the media is so ready to believe the gossip is true: “I’m 5’4”, when I gain a couple of extra pounds—it shows. People just like to speculate.”
The singer goes on to say that she would actually like to get married to actor Josh Duhamel before anything like that happens. Marriage before pregnancy? Wow - that’s one I haven’t heard in a while!

Richie Sambora Pulled Over for Drinking
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Break-ups, Drunk, Legal Issues,
UPDATE: The story just became much sadder. It turns out Richie wasn’t alone when he was pulled over. His current girlfriend, daughter and another young girl were inside the car at the time.
Poor Ava Sambora. In the past month, the young girl has seen both of her parents thrust into the media spotlight…and for less than happy reasons.
Back on March 8, the 10-year-old’s mother (Heather Locklear) had paramedics make a surprise visit to her home. Someone from outside her residence called 911 believing the actress was suicidal. (She claims she wasn’t.) Now - just more than two weeks later - Ava’s dad is having is own turn with the authorities.
TMZ reports that rocker Richie Sambora was pulled over late last night when he was spotted driving erratically. After the Laguna Beach officers stopped him, the musician failed several field sobriety tests and was promptly detained. Sambora has since been released from custody.

Mariah Carey Considers Herself a Prude
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Clothing, Style, Photos, Editorials,
Many words come to mind when I think of Mariah Carey—and “prude” isn’t one of them. But that’s just what the singer would like you to believe.
In an interview with Allure magazine, the diva not only compared herself to a beloved Disney character (“I’m Mary Poppins: I’m what the buttoned-up girls are supposed to be.”), she goes on to call herself “freakin’ prude.”
Now before we go any further, here’s the definition of that word according to Dictionary.com: “A person who is excessively proper or modest in speech, conduct, dress, etc.”
I just want to make it clear - I personally don’t care if Mariah is or isn’t modest, I just want to make sure she uses the term correctly. I mean, we’ve all seen her go shopping without a bra on. We know the lyrics to Touch My Body and Honey. Her videos like to feature her in lingerie…or in the bathtub. And how about the skimpy party outfits? (You can check out a gallery of some of her photos, after the jump.)
Now if she believes the word prude to mean “woman who wants to look good and doesn’t care what you think” then maybe we’d have something.

Sean Combs Answers LA Times
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Legal Issues, Rivalries, Breaking News,
An inflammatory article published by the LA Times has brought about quick response from entertainment mogul Sean (P. Diddy, Puff Daddy) Combs. The article suggested that Combs, along with Notorious B.I.G., Jimmy Rosemond and a promoter, knew that rap superstar Tupac Shakur was to be gunned down before the event happened on November 30, 1994.
Seriously, I like tasty entertainment gossip as much as anybody, but isn’t this old news? What was the LA Times thinking, anyway? At any rate, the story was published and now Combs is pissed. In a statement released today, Combs addressed the allegations: “This story is a lie. It is beyond ridiculous and is completely false. Neither Biggie nor I had any knowledge of any attack before, during or after it happened. It is a complete lie to suggest that there was any involvement by Biggie or myself. I am shocked that the Los Angeles Times would be so irresponsible as to publish such a baseless and completely untrue story.” Well.

Why Was Britney Eating With Mel Gibson?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Rumors,
I don’t even think this is a scenario the best screenwriters could have ever imagined.
This past weekend, the Studio City area of Los Angeles was the location for quite an unusual gathering. On Saturday, pop star Britney Spears had dinner with….Mel Gibson. The stars - who both have ties to the Malibu area - dined amongst a larger group.
As for why the two were meeting, TMZ reports that their personal troubles may have given something to bond over. Sources also claim that this is not the first time they’ve chatted. The actor and his family apparently reached out to the troubled singer during her low points. (Apparently they understand how fame can drive you to speak in random British accents or spit out anti-Semitic remarks.)
While it’s not known what the two were talking about on this particular occasion, we can report a bit of a good news: Britney wasn’t driving. The bad news? She didn’t bother dressing up for the occasion. (She was still wearing those darn boots!)

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills’ Divorce Settlement
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Divorce, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
This St. Patty’s Day has proved to be quite a lucky one for Paul McCartney. Today he officially washed his hands clean of Heather Mills.
The former Beatle and his ex left the High Court in London today after a financial agreement was finally ironed out in their bitter divorce. Although it was originally reported that Mills would receive somewhere in the neighborhood of $110 million, she came away with much less. Including assets she already owned, the 40-year-old will take away approximately $50 million dollars from the marriage. (That’s approximately $12.5 million for each year they were together.)
You can view her response to the settlement below:
Daddy will also give be giving their 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice, approximately $70,000 per year for her expenses.

Ali Lohan: She’s Supposed to Be 14
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Child Stars, Clothing, Fashion Police, Photos, Editorials,
Over the past few weeks, I have become increasingly disturbed by the news I’ve been reading about Miss Lohan. No, not Lindsay Lohan—Ali Lohan. Let me tell you why:
First of all, the girl-who-used-to-be-very-cute recently said that she admired her older sister and wanted to be just like her. (I don’t think I even need to explain why that statement is so wrong.)
Secondly, the teen who’s supposed to be fourteen has physically aged beyond her years. (And not in a good way.)
And finally, Ali’s wardrobe decisions have been seriously questionable.
In the picture above, you can see how sweet the younger Lohan looked at a premiere for 2006’s A Prairie Home Companion. (Keep in mind - that was only two years ago). After the jump, you can see what she looks like now…
