Keira Knightley in Disturbing Domestic Violence PSA
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television, Videos,
If the violence reenacted by two random actors didn’t grab your attention, maybe this clip will.
Actress Keira Knightley and director Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) recently teamed up on their third project together. In this two-minute piece for the charity Women’s Aid, the duo create a disturbing glimpse of the violence many secretly endure in their homes every day.
The PSA was, of course, inspired by the highly-publicized event between Rihanna and Chris Brown.

Real Housewives Countess Separated from Count
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Divorce,
How would an etiquette expert deal with an extramarital affair? Let’s ask The Real Housewives of New York City‘s resident countess.
Although she was full of dating advice for costar Bethenny Frankel (you can eavesdrop on that conversation after the jump), it turns out LuAnn de Lesseps was having her own relationship problems back at home.
According to the New York Post, LuAnn recently discovered that her husband of 16 years, Count Alexandre de Lesseps, had been seeing another woman. Alexandre reportedly confirmed his cheating ways to his (fourth) wife in a less than proper manner. “They decided to separate. She got wind he was seeing somebody and he didn’t answer her when she called. He finally sent her an e-mail saying he was with an Ethiopian woman in Geneva and he was serious with her,” a friend claimed.

Quote of the Day: Miley Cyrus on Justin Gaston
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television, Hook-ups,
“I don’t feel like I’m doing anything wrong, and I’m ready for people to accept it. My fans already accept it—they just want me to be happy. And I haven’t been that happy in a few years…working so hard, moving to L.A. from Nashville, going through a bad breakup [with Nick Jonas]. I’m finally happy again, and I think that is reflected in my music and my work. So honestly, I don’t feel like there’s anything to hide. And I love him so much I don’t really care.”
-Miley Cyrus, 16, talking to Glamour magazine about dating 20-year-old Justin Gaston

Spelling Matriarch to Sell Manor
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Child Stars, Rivalries, Rumors,
The Candy-Tori Spelling feud actually began prior to the death of Aaron Spelling, but the gap between mother and daughter has grown wider over time. Now, Candy Spelling (Aaron’s widow, Tori’s mom) is selling the Spelling Manor. It’s on the market for a whopping $150 million.
“If I had any hope that I would have a relationship with my grandchildren, I would never sell this house,” Spelling told the press, when she announced her decision to move from the famed mansion to a $47 million condo. Spelling Manor is 56,000 square feet. The new condo? A mere 17,000 - roughly, the size of the attic at the Manor. “I’ve fantasized for years about a wonderful playhouse on the grounds for children,” Spelling waxed poetic.
But such a thing, evidently, is not meant to be.

This was one deal Vince Shlomi probably wish he didn’t make.

If you didn’t catch him giving out his March Madness picks on ESPN, trading quips on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno or looking appropriately grave during his in-depth 60 Minutes interview, you might have been among the thirty million who watched Barack Obama’s second press conference.
During the first sixty-odd days of his reign as President of the United States, Obama has been on almost every television channel at least once. You could build a respectable video library with clips of his appearances found on YouTube alone.
We now know that this national leader thinks riding on Air Force One is “cool,” enjoys a game of basketball whenever he can get a chance and hopes to soon take on the health care problems of the country. We know who he’s rooting for in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, that he’s not a great bowler and that he pretty much has his hands full dealing with the AIG bonuses (and their repercussions).

New Romance for Real Housewives’ Gretchen and Slade
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Hook-ups, Photos,
Forget New York. I’m already waiting for the The Real Housewives of Orange County to return.
She might not have cheated on her fiancé while he was still alive, but Gretchen Rossi has definitely moved on.
Over the last few weeks, the 31-year-old has been spotted out with another face familiar to Housewives viewers: Slade Smiley. Smiley, who was once engaged to original cast member Jo De La Rosa, also briefly dated Lauri Waring as well.
I can only imagine what Tamra and Vicki have to say about this one…

NASA wasn’t prepared for the power of the Colbert Nation. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration recently held a naming contest for the new room of the international space station. Apparently, the government agency never heard about the late night host’s influence over his fans.
When Stephen Colbert caught wind of the write-in invitation that NASA instigated to get ideas, the host urged his viewers into action. NASA picked the name Serenity for the new room - but votes for Colbert outnumbered the choice by 230,539 votes.
NASA, of course, has the final vote on naming the room…but a quarter million fans isn’t exactly the set you want to anger. John Yembrick, spokesman for NASA, says the room will be named in April and that the name winning the most votes will also get “the most consideration.”

Megan Joy: American Idol or Porn Star?
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Television,
Megan Joy may have lost a husband…but she’s (inadvertently) gained an interesting fan base.
When the finals for American Idol began last week, the producers thought an adult hotline was the only X-rated thing they would have to deal with. Of course, that is not the case.
By choosing to drop her ex-husband’s last name, Megan Joy (formerly known as Megan Joy Corkery) gave Googlers a reason to be confused. Seems a Megan Joy already exists—in the porn industry.
