Kelly Preston Blames Chemicals for Son’s Death

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Features,

Kelly Preston with her late son JettKelly Preston has opened up about the death of her 16-year-old son Jett.

The 50-year-old The Last Song actress - who has been married to 58-year-old Savages star John Travolta for 17 years - thinks that chemicals in food contributed to her son's autism, as well as the severe seizure that caused his death in 2009.

Speaking on an episode of The Doctors - which airs in the US on Wednesday - Kelly said, "[Jett] was autistic. He had seizures and when he was very young, he had Kawasaki Syndrome (which can cause inflammation of the arteries and usually affects children between the ages of two and five years old)."

Jett died after suffering a seizure and hitting his head on a bathtub at the family's home at the Old Bahama Bay Hotel on Grand Bahama Island in the Caribbean and his mother believes chemicals caused it: "I strongly believe as a mother, as does my husband, that there are certain contributing factors that lead to autism and some of it is very much the chemicals in our environment and in our food."

Lady Gaga Blames Father’s Restaurant for Weight Gain

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,

Lady GagaLady Gaga blames her father's restaurant for her recent weight gain.

The "Bad Romance" singer has put on 25lbs recently and says it's because the food at her father Joe Germanotta's New York eatery is so delicious, she can't help tucking in to pizza and pasta every time she visits.

"I love eating pasta and I'm a New York Italian girl. That's why I have been staying out of New York. My father opened a restaurant. It's so amazing... it's so freaking delicious, but I'm telling you I gain five pounds every time I go there. So my dad wants me to eat at the restaurant, and I'm like, 'I've got to go where I can drink green juice,'" she said, speaking about the restaurant.

Gaga, whose weight has fluctuated in the past, insists she is happy with her new curves although she is "dieting right now, because I gained, like, 25 pounds." She said, "I really don't feel bad about it, not even for a second. It's hard because I have a vigorous show, so I tend to bulk up, get muscular, and I really don't like that. So I'm trying to find a new balance."


Vinamor wine aerator review

Vinamor review

The Vinamor wine aerator, the concept of Gary DeJohn, was featured on ABC's Shark Tank with an impressive demo that showcased just how well the product can bring out all the flavors of a just-opened bottle of wine. The Vinamor has a stainless steel filter and a glass sphere that work together to aerate your wine. It sits atop your wine glass, and as you pour wine through the filter, it's exposed to the large surface area of the glass sphere, which in turn softens tannins and brings out flavor while the filter catches and sediment that may be present. Or, at least, that's the promise. How well does the $40 Vinamor actually perform? Join us in our full Vinamor review for our thoughts.

Blake Lively Inspired by Marilyn Monroe

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Style,

Blake LivelyBlake Lively pretends to be Marilyn Monroe on the red carpet.

The Gossip Girl star gets self-conscious at showbiz events and tries to channel the confidence of the Hollywood sex siren to survive the ordeal: "I have insecurities like any girl. I used to be really shy and unconfident. I hated being tall. Walking the red carpet is scary, so I pretend to be Marilyn Monroe - someone who owned their sexuality and projected this incredible aura of self-confidence."

Down-to-earth Blake, 24, prefers staying at home to attending parties and says she feels sexiest when she is cooking. "I really like to cook. Cooking makes me feel sexy. I think there's something so sensual about it - the smells, the touches, the flavors, the experience of creating something. And, you know, when you're doing it with someone you love, creating that together. I think it's really attractive. I do a little of everything but Italian food is my favorite. And chocolate! Whenever I travel I go to cooking schools. I eat too much that's the problem."

Matthew MorrisonMatthew Morrison thinks cooking is "sexy."

The What To Expect When You're Expecting actor - who is dating model Renee Puente - loves nights in at home sharing a romantic meal with his girlfriend.

"I'm very much a homebody with my girlfriend. I think cooking and creating something together is very sexy. I love candlelit dinners," he said.

Matthew has a lot of female fans thanks to his role as teacher Will Schuester in Glee but insists his girlfriend never gets jealous: "Luckily, Renee is very relaxed about my female fans. Once, a girl gave me cupcakes shaped to look like her breasts. Needless to say, I didn't eat them."

While Matthew isn't ready to start a family himself just yet, he would love to see his Glee alter ego - who is engaged to guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury - settle down. "I want Mr. Schu to get married and have a baby with Emma as soon as possible. I've always wanted kids myself one day but, right now, I'm not ready."

Angelina JolieAngelina Jolie reportedly wants to gain 10lbs before her wedding.

The svelte actress is set to tie the knot with her partner of seven years Brad Pitt this summer and is keen to put on a bit of weight as she wants some curves to fill out her dress. So she and Brad - who raise six children together - have reportedly asked British chef Jamie Oliver to give her recipes for hearty yet healthy meals.

"Angelina has decided she'd like a more shapely figure when she weds Brad and is hoping to gain ten pounds. Brad and Angie have asked Jamie to suggest some recipe ideas for them. Angie never cooks so Brad's now knocking up some English dishes like shepherd's pie and sausage and mash," a source told The Daily Star.

Brad is also keen for Angelina to gain a few pounds as he prefers her when she has a curvier figure. "Bad would love her to have curves like she did when they met on Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2004. Jamie has been to Brad and Ange's home numerous times. They have a similar sense of humor and are all down to earth," the source added.

Mena SuvariMena Suvari has great skin because she eats so much fresh food.

The American Reunion star is considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and she says her beauty regime is based on diet first, then cosmetics: "My father was European so there was always fresh food in the house. People get caught up in trying to treat themselves from the outside in and it's really about what you do on the inside."

Mena lives a very healthy lifestyle and doesn't drink alcohol anymore. Instead, the 33-year-old actress prefers to spend her evenings at home relaxing: "I like staying at home. I've definitely been there, done that I don't drink anymore and I don't really go out. For me, I know what works."
