BABY BOOM: They met in the briefest of encounters. He wasn’t looking for true love, just a few moments of passion. After they’d moved along from that night, he changed his cell number without informing her. After all, he was an international star and she was only a wanna-be. But he left something behind him and when she realized she was no longer alone, she couldn’t reach him through any of the usual quieter channels. So what was a poor girl to do? Being a resourceful lady, she took to the press. They made sure he heard of his little bundle of joy and now he has even more incentive to chase down roles as child support is an expensive proposition, so much more expensive than a simple condom would have been.
THANKS BUT, NO THANKS: Poor Seth Rogen. There he was playing the knight errant for Megan Fox as she fought a serious case of nerves during a TV talk show, at her request – by the way. He’s stuck right by her, bolstering her courage through the ordeal. And, when it was all over and the cameras were off, he went in for an innocent peck and Fox strong-armed him like a lineman and took off leaving him in her dust. That’s OK, Seth, there must be thousands of pretty girls who’d not only be eager, but grateful for your chivalrous attentions.
SAFE IN HIS HANDS?: Justin Timberlake, back in his single days, had no problem at all attracting female companionship. But Justin has never traveled the same roads as most guys. When this good ’ole boy was interested in a particular girl, he’d give her his business card! Being Justin the card could have said so many things, “Former Mousketeer”, “Dancer”, “Sometime Actor”, even “Singer”. Those weren’t his style, his calling cards used to read, “Justin, Insurance Broker.” Perhaps he thought that’d make a girl feel safer?
NOT THE SAME THING: Camilla Bell and Robert Pattinson used to be a hot item. Then, ardor cooled and Camilla found herself in the arms of Joe Jonas. But keeping time with a guy who’s sworn to remain a virgin until his wedding night has apparently left something to be desired and Camilla now finds herself single again. Or is she? Rumors are flying that the 10,000B.C. star may be hooking back up with Pattinson. He, at least, is said to be stoking the fires with long and loving phone calls and “hours long” texting sessions. If they’re not officially back together yet, it’s not for lack of attention from the Twilight star.
WELL, THEY’RE YOUNG AFTER ALL: The young stars of the Harry Potter franchise have known each other from the age of eleven and are all now nineteen or twenty. Bonnie Wright who plays Ginny Weasley, Harry’s BFF, says they have a great way to pass the time between takes on the set. They sit around and compare notes about sex. They’re able to laugh and learn a bit and enjoy what is a harmless ‘safety valve’. But Bonnie denies Daniel Radcliffe’s assertion that they’re all “horny teenagers,” saying instead, “We grew up together...so we can laugh about it together.”
HE’S BAAACK: Singing sensation Robbie Williams has sort of fallen off the edge of the earth recently. But he’s working to remedy that and is readying the release of a new album, his first in over three years. Williams, who maintains a huge home with it’s own soccer field in L.A., has sold more than fifty-five million albums thus far in his career and is eager to climb back to the top of the charts. He’s gotten rid of his beard and the scruffy look and appears ready to wow ’em all over again.
EASILY FORGOTTEN?: Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have gone their separate ways. What must hurt almost as much as the split is Romo’s apparent lack of emotion over it. The pro athlete hasn’t let any grass grow under his feet and was seen having a great time at the tables in Vegas laughing and joking with the dealers, the waitresses and other players.
EXPANDING HER HORIZONS: Being an Oscar winner, a mother of two, and a wife just isn’t enough for Gwyneth Paltrow. The Iron Man star has begun offering relationship advice to the readers of her newsletter. She has sagely observed, “A long term relationship is an ever evolving organism. Some stay the course, some fall, all stumble.” She elaborates, “There are no stable marriages. There may be happy ones, but not stable ones. Either we grow forward or fall back.” Wouldn’t you love to see her sitting at a desk on television while her celebrity pals troop out, spill all their secrets and obtain healing from the willowy beauty?
SHE LIKES THE INSTITUTION: Denise Richards likes the fact that hotels exist. After all, it is sometimes inconvenient to be bringing tryst partners back to a person’s own place, what with kids and all and hotels are a perfect place for scratching that special itch without giving up the privacy of your home. The Blonde and Blonder star, who’s gone through an acrimonious divorce recently, doesn’t think that ought to interfere with living her life. She opines, “I’ve been through a divorce, but that’s not the end of your life. I have needs, and life is short. I want to have a good time. Having friends with privileges is awesome!”
UNEMPLOYED?: It looks like it’s not a good time to be the daughter of a rocker and trying to build a career in modeling. Select Model Management has dropped the daughters of Sir Bob Geldof and Gavin Rossdale, announcing that their contracts would not be renewed. Pixie Geldof and Daisy Lowe will soon join the ranks of the unemployed, the very attractive unemployed, but unemployed nonetheless. Don’t waste a tear on them, you know there’ll be other agencies lining up to sign them, even if only for the publicity splash.
A MAN WHO’S ALL BOY: Despite his very mature image, nineteen year-old Daniel Radcliffe is still a teenager at heart. The Harry Potter star recently got his first home away from the folks and has found it a bittersweet reality. He admits, “It was a rude awakening. Suddenly I’ve got to do so much more for myself. My laundry does sneak up on me occasionally, but when that happens, I just take it around to the parents and mum chuckles and tosses it in for me.”
OWIES: Sienna Miller was thrilled to land the role of the evil Baroness in the smash G.I. Joe movie but never realized just how difficult not to mention dangerous it would be. All the cast members in the super-tight costumes have now gone public bemoaning how hot it was inside them and how difficult it was to move around or get out of them when needed, say for a potty break. But the British beauty had a close encounter of a flammable kind when a special effects explosion went awry and actually set her chest on fire. Jude Law’s ex admits, “Luckily it wasn’t my breasts, it was the bit in between. It got a bit singed when an explosion got a bit close.”
LOVIN’ IT: If there was ever a girl who’s taken to the single life, that would have to be Cameron Diaz. Having had long-term relationships with Justin Timberlake and Paul Sculfor, the Gangs of New York star has been kicking up her heels. And, the circle within which she travels is a great source of gorgeous men. The blonde beauty has lately been sampling the likes of Leo di Caprio, Jude Law and a very select number of international hunks during an extended stay in the British capital.
GRIN AND BARE IT: Uber-hunk Ryan Reynolds has learned the hard way not to assume anything. He was shocked to learn that his The Proposal co-star Sandra Bullock, who also produced their movie, had not written out their nude scene. But the gorgeous Bullock’s finely tuned comedic sense told her to just go for it. His one escape route slammed shut when he asked her, “So, are we really going to do this?” and she resoundingly answered, “Absolutely!”
HE’S HAD PRACTICE: Splitting up gets easier and easier the more often you do it. Just ask Nick Lachey. Following his recent split from Vanessa Minnillo, the ex boy band singer wasn’t moping around feeling sorry for himself. Within just days, he was cutting a figure in Vegas with fully five young beauties clustered around him. The sextet snuck out the back door of a Sin City watering hole and jumped into his monster SUV and were last seen heading off to party hearty.
THE BABY FACTORY IS OPEN: It’s just seventeen months since Jennifer Lopez gave birth to Max and Emma and while the songbird is years away from the “empty nest” stage, she admits to already feeling broody again. The Gigli star says, “I’d love to have more kids. I’m not sure if we will or not. I don’t know what the future holds for us. We’ll just have to wait and see.”
IT WAS THE COLD WATER: James Spader is hoping to find a photographer he believes might have snapped him on a nude beach on Martha’s Vineyard in the 1990s. Spader says he was lying on the beach baking in the sun when, “I opened my eyes and saw a guy down the beach who was fully clothed and carrying a camera.” Spader has two fears. One is that he’ll wake up one morning and see those pictures splashed across a lurid tabloid. The second is that since he’d just come out of some really cold water, the pictures might not show him to his “best advantage.” And men say women are vain!
BEST EATEN COLD: Revenge can be truly sweet, especially so when you don’t have to do anything to get it. Jessica Simpson was dumped by Tony Romo last month and the blonde beauty was said to have been devastated by it. Now comes word from Forbes magazine that Jessica’s earning last year were higher than Tony’s and are likely to remain there. Take that, Tony!
