Nick's not so bright...

Saturday, February 19, 2005

according to this...

A little bit of advice to Nick: your career without Jessica Simpson ain't exactly red-hot these days. Your best bet is to continue playing "house husband" for Jessica if you want to continue the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed.

I can understand the temptations of beautiful women, but...::cough:: need I mention that the girl you have at home ain't exactly a bag of dog biscuits? I'm sure she has her faults, but you've got to keep a long-term perspective on things. Trading digits can be a thrill, but you're not playing with Monopoly money here...Think about it, Nick...

Alanis: American Style....

Alanis Morissette becomes an American citizen

Congrats to her!

It never ceases to amaze me that large portions of the world's population expresses very anti-American views, but this shows yet again that even the best and the brightest of the world's citizens jump at the chance to actually become an American...

Debbie Does Playboy...

Friday, February 18, 2005

Debbie Gibson appears in March's Playboy.

Is this predictable or what? It seems like every female child/teen star trying to shed that image winds up in the pages of Playboy as if they have to prove they're all grown up now by showing they have the body parts to back it their claims.

Don't get me wrong: as a red-blooded male I'm not complaining about the Playboy layout. It's the lack of originality that bothers me.

No Love Lost...

...between Britney Spears and US Weekly evidently.

She's upset that pictures of her honeymooon were published in US Weekly, and US Weekly isn't taking it lying down:

Coming from a celebrity who sold pictures of both her wedding and her stepdaughter, it's unlikely the issue here is privacy. Could it be that Britney is seeing red after not seeing the green from these photos? Britney Spears should start a magazine if she'd like to dictate her own coverage.

Ouch.

Christina Finds Her 'Genie'...

Saturday, February 12, 2005

...and gets engaged...

Scratch this one off your lists, guys...she's spoken for...

According to Reuters, her boyfriend of two years, Jordan Bratman, proposed and she accepted while they were on vacation Friday.

Christina Aguilera was "very surprised" which we at Celebrity Pro find a bit difficult to believe since we noted that he would probably propose this very weekend!

Chalk one up for Celebrity Pro...and big congrats to Christina!

Finally some positive press...

Friday, February 11, 2005

...for Ashlee Simpson...

Between the Saturday Night Live episode and the mixed reception she received at the Orange Bowl, it's nice to see her name in the headlines for something positive.

Also, in the same short, MTV is reporting that Nelly and Ice Cube will be among those playing a game of celebrity basketball on February 18th as part of the NBA's All-Star weekend.

Constantine better than Blade?

Thursday, February 10, 2005

Catholic War Machine seems to think so...

The trailers have intrigued me, but a favorable comparison to Blade may be the tipping point for me to head over to Fandango and get some movie tickets to see Constantine.

UPDATE: Stainless Steel Droppings seems a little less enthusaistic in a very well thought-out and well-written review.

UPDATE: And raison d'etre thinks Keanu Reeves is pretty unconvincing.

What does it take

...to earn 10 Grammy nominations like Kanye West?

That's the question MTV tries to answer with this piece.

A couple interesting tidbits from the article:
- Kanye paid for his first video out of his own pocket.
- He recorded Through the Wire while recuperating in bed after his accident.

You'll have to read the article for yourself to find out the rest...

It's Never Good News...

...David Caruso's wife has filed for divorce....

After almost 9 years of marriage and with the success of CSI: Miami, I can only imagine what kind of alimony Margaret Caruso is going to be asking for...

Getting Ahead of the Curve...

...I guess that's Marcia Cross' rationale for pre-empting rumors that she is a lesbian.

I suppose this is the very definition of a "non-story." The thing that struck me as significant was that I didn't even know people were intimating that she might be a lesbian, so it seemed odd that she would make it a point to tell Barbara Walters that she wasn't.

For a supposedly "gay-friendly" town, any possible whiff of celebrity homosexuality sure does seem to bring out the rumor-mongers. Am I missing something, or does that seem to be the opposite of "gay-friendly" to you?

I mean, I'm a fan too, but...

...even *I* think that $7.3 million is a bit much to pay for a nude portrait of Kate Moss...

I think I'd much rather have been the artist:

Freud, who also painted Texan model Jerry Hall when she was pregnant, began the work in 2001 and it took almost a year of sittings to complete.

Where's my paintbrush?

Constantine Reviewed...

...by Andrew Pryor....

Andrew reviews the new film from Rachel Weisz and Keanu Reeves. He gives it an 8 out of 10, and the review is nicely done without any spoilers.

UPDATE: OPIEblue has a post up on Constantine with some very cool Constantine artwork.

The Secret Life of Jessica Simpson...

Tuesday, February 08, 2005

...is apparently much spicier than her "goody two-shoes" image might lead one to believe.

It turns out that Jessica Simpson keeps Jenna Jameson's biography next to the bed because she identifies with Jenna's "character."

To make comment on this would be cruel, so I'll just let the article speak for itself.

Five for Avril

...Juno nominations that is...

Avril Lavigne led with 5 Juno nominations while Celine Dion and Shania Twain each pulled down three.

Congrats, ladies!

Eva Takes The Sentinel

...from the columns of TV Guide...

Eva Longoria, has been cast as a secret agent in the upcoming movie, The Sentinel. With co-stars like Kiefer Sutherland, Michael Douglas and Kim Basinger, the movie certainly has the star power to be a big hit for her.

How does it feel?

...to have diamond companies clambering over themselves to do your bidding?

According to Page Six, ICE.com is doing just that for Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi.

So you mean it wasn't sexual?

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's split wasn't over an affair with Angelina Jolie after all...at least according to the rumor mill over at E!

According to their source(s), Jen just got tired of hearing Brad come home from the set everyday raving about what a superwoman Angelina is...If that's true, shame on Brad: Jennifer Aniston isn't exactly chopped liver...

Birthday Greetings from Ethiopia...

Monday, February 07, 2005

...for Bob Marley

Who says celebrity watching can't be educational? I didn't know Rastafarians considered Ethiopia as the Holy Land before I read the article, but now I do...

...just goes to show you learn something new every day...even when you're not trying...

No Lip Synch Here

Sunday, February 06, 2005

Just finished watching Gretchen Wilson on the Super Bowl Pre-Game...

It looks like they're doing something a little different with the audio: the sound is coming through direct or boom miking rather than through the sound system....I like it...

Welcome!
