Why more women aren’t lining up to marry Jesse James, I’ll never know.
Our favourite professional sleazeball penned an autobiography in which he reveals intimate details of his life with former wife Sandra Bullock. He also belittled her sexual prowess on Howard Stern, raving about his new fiancée Kat Von D.
Lady Gaga’s meat dress went from rare to well done this week after a firestorm of controversy.
WWE has caused ALOT of controversy in the way their women are treated in the past few weeks and last night’s Wrestlemania provided some more fodder and surprises.
Some fans just take their books WAY too seriously.
Hip-hop singer Chris Brown made headlines last week when he trashed the dressing room of ABC’s Good Morning America.
Poor Rebecca Black, she just wanted to sing.
Granted, her song “Friday” is horrid, but you have got to give the teenager credit; she tried. After all, the biggest star on the planet started his 15 minutes of fame on YouTube, so why couldn’t Miss Black do the same?
Unfortunately, the music industry has become so watered down that anyone thinks they can be a multi-platinum artist simply by existing (Kim Kardashian, we’re looking in your direction). Celebrities are always recording terrible music to the delight of no one, giving hope to the equally untalented, making them think that they can be pop stars too.
Rebecca Black simply tried her hand at fame the same way everyone else has: record a catchy tune and go viral. While the song isn’t that great, you’ve got to give the girl props for trying. She had a dream and took a chance. Maybe it didn’t go the way she hoped, but she can look back on this experience and know she tried.
How many armchair critics can say the same? I know I can’t. Yes, I lived my dream of editing a magazine for awhile, but I didn’t send my portfolio to a major magazine. How many of us actually apply for that promotion or that dream job? Most of us leave the application on our desks for months, never trying.
So, give Miss Black credit for having the stones to put herself out there. She wanted something & made an effort to get it. It’s probably more than most of us have done.
Forget the crisis in Libya, there is something far more important in the world; the downfall of Charlie Sheen!
After all, what’s more socially relevant than an overpaid crack addict calling the media to tell us about his latest chicanery?!
The world is abuzz with the news that Prince William and his love Kate Middleton are to be wed.
GQ Magazine’s Glee-ful cover had tongues wagging this week as fans were treated to cast members dressed scandalously. The Parent Teacher Council claimed the shots were “borderline pedophilia” as stars Corey Monteith, Lea Michelle and Diana Aragon play teenagers on the Fox dramedy. The PTC says the men’s magazine is promoting the sexualization of young people.
While one can applaud the PTC for speaking out against the objectification of children, Monteith, Michelle and Aragon are all adults (Monteith is 19 and his ladies are both 24). Rolling Stone featured an equally as salacious Glee cover earlier this year where a draft swept up Michelle’s skirt, exposing her panties. The cover was met with rave reviews & no PTC complaints.
While the actors do play teenagers, they aren’t teenagers themselves. This isn’t the first time an adult playing a teen has posed provocatively for a magazine. Jessica Biel famously posed topless for Gear magazine in an attempt to get fired from 7th Heaven. Another 7th Heaven alum Ashlee Simpson posed in Maxim’s Blender Magazine promoting her first album (while still playing virginal Celia). Neither spread received flack. Not to mention that GQ is a men’s magazine. It’s not like these shots made their way into Teen Beat.
I’m surprised the PTC hasnt spoken out about nine year old Willow Smith, who has recently released her first music video. Surely that violates child labour laws. Either way, more people are talking about Glee, which makes Ryan Murphy very gleeful indeed.
Hollywood supercouple Courteney Cox & David Arquette announced their separation after 11 years of marriage, an announcement that blindsided the gossip rags.
Cox & Arquette were one of the few Hollywood marriages that actually seemed to work, despite ups and downs & his craptastic attempt to start a pro wrestling career. After 11 years, what could tear them apart?
I guess it saddens me because I’m a huge believer of the idea of “Death do us part” & hate that it’s just so easy to walk away. It’s funny that this news came on the heels of a horrid argument between myself & my own husband. Voices were raised, tears were shed & friends were called for comfort. It was a particularly crappy day for my marriage, but I still wouldn’t want to throw in the towel.
I’m not saying stick it out if you’re living a nightmarish life with adultery and domestic violence, but the idea that you “grew apart” seems strange to me. Of course you’re not the same exact person you were when you said “I do” but a true marriage means you evolve together.
My parents told me that a successful marriage means knowing you won’t always love (or even like) your partner, but you love them enough to learn to fall in love with them again so the good times outweigh the crappy ones. Too many people find it too easy to just walk away.
I think the reason that so many marriages end is that we don’t take the time to get to know ourselves well enough to know what we need in a partner. We get so caught up in the idea that we need anyone beside us that we don’t look for our other half. Because we haven’t found that person who makes us feel complete, it’s easy to just leave.
I hope for the sake of the Arquette/Cox & Aguilera/Bratman marriages, this is a separation that comes with a reconciliation. Sometimes you need to be away from someone to realize how much you need them. If not, may they continue to coparent their children in a healthy manner. In the meantime, we can all wonder how Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith keep it together.
