Hollywood's Grand Dame of Gossip and Style
Ok y’all. I am a straight up Harry Potter fan and yes, I have actually read the books. Several times. So this is simply some eye candy for those who don’t dig vampires and couldn’t give a shiz about Lohan’s new weave. So enjoy some new “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” posters.
I pictured Fenrir Greyback a little more scary. But this is aimed at kids so I am glad they kept a restraint on the terrifying level.

Hello “Lost” fans. I must begin this write up by announcing that this will contain spoilers about the episode “Variables”. I thought that was pretty much a given considering the title of my weekly write-ups about my fav show contains the word ‘RECAP’, but I actually received an email from an old friend damning me to the pits of hell for giving away information about the episode two weeks ago. My response was that I would announce that my write-ups contained spoilers and then I reminded him that he smelled badly in high school and that’s why I didn’t hang out with him. Hope that doesn’t hurt your feelings…if you’re even reading this.
Moving on….
“Variables” was a better episode than we have been getting the past few weeks. We did receive confirmations like Widmore + Eloise Hawkins = Daniel Faraday, and Widmore staged the fake Oceanic 815 crash. Here’s the thing, though. We already figured this out, right? I mean, I was calling this (and so were you) weeks ago.

The overnight singing sensation Susan Boyle has found a new fan! Actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has apparently asked for the film rights to the singer’s life story and her sensational appearance on “Britain’s Got Talent“. According to reports, Zeta-Jones wants to play Boyle, popularly known as “Hairy Angel” because of her frizzy hair cut and bushy eyebrows, on screen. The actress was said to have contacted the producers of “Britain’s Got Talent” after Ms Boyle became a huge hit in the US.
Per Telegraph:
“This is one of many requests we have had to play her (Boyle), for movie deals and for stories of her life. All these people are coming out and want to be associated with her. She is the biggest thing in the world. It is mental,” a source on the show said of Zeta-Jones’ proposal.
Boyle has become a star in the US and UK after her performance of “I Dreamed A Dream” from “Les Miserables” on the popular show. The video of the Scottish singer’s performance became the most popular clip on “YouTube” of all time, even surpassing US President Barack Obama’s inaugural speech, with over 100 million hits. A spokesman for Ms Boyle said she was unwilling to comment. Reports also suggest that “Titanic” director James Cameron has also expressed interest in a similar project.
This would definitely be a different kind of role for Ms. Zeta-Jones, who is regularly voted one of the world’s most beautiful women in the world. But if Charlize Theron can add 30 pounds and hide all her beautiful features to play a serial killer, then I’m sure Catherine will have no problem pulling off a frumpy middle-aged woman.

And I thought it was impossible for Robert Pattinson to get any cuter!
Life and Style Magazine got ahold of some of Sparklepants’ baby pics. Our hunky “Twilight” vampire spent his early days as a toe-head riding his bike and playing dress-up with an English Bobby (that’s cop to you and me Americans).
Via Life and Style:
“Life & Style magazine has released photos of the vampire hunk long before the fame and notoriety kicked in. Take a look at this cute kid on a bicycle and in a policeman’s hat. For more Pattinson kid pics, be sure to check out the new issue of Life & Style magazine when it hits newsstands May 1.”
These pictures are all the proof I need to know that mine and Spaklepants’ children will be adorable.

We all know that celebrities love to spend money. And, there is no tradition more extravagant than celebrity engagement rings. Not only are these engagement rings worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the average celeb receives two to three of these rings on average…no one marries only once anymore, right?
The visual guide demonstrates how many starving children in Sub-Saharan Africa could be fed if the celebs donated the amount of money that was spent on their engagement rings to fight hunger.
Beyonce’s $5 million rock from Jay-Z would feed 100,000 children for a year ALONE!
“It is estimated that 25,000 people die every day from hunger and related causes. Of those going without food, 230 million live in Sub-Saharan Africa. 25% of these people are children.”
There. That is my do-gooding for the day. Take that Angelina Jolie.

I guess the second time around wasn’t enough to heal the differences. Actor Sean Penn has filed for legal separation from actress-wife Robin Wright Penn last Friday. Back in 2007, Robin first filed for divorce before the couple decided to give their marriage another try, but it appears that reconciliation was not a success. No reason was given why the two might be ending their almost 13 year marriage, but one has to wonder if it has anything to do with Seans’ “playboy” lifestyle.
Recently, “Hollywood Dame” had reported about a slew of rumors going around about Mr. Penn’s affair with fellow actress Natalie Portman before the 2009 Academy Awards. Could Portman possibly be a homewrecker in this relationships demise? (To Read About Their Alleged Affair Click HERE.)
Sean is coming off of a huge career boost, having won the Best Actor Oscar for his role as gay politician Harvey Milk in “Milk“. The couple has been since 1996 and have two teenage children together, Dylan and Hopper Jack. Last time they separated the couple asked for joint custody of their children, although there’s no word as to what this filing is requesting.
Think they’ll change their mind again?

I am a child of the 90’s. Ok who am I kidding. I am 80’s girl through and through. But I still recall the west vs. east costal feud.
The war seemed to involve everyone from Sean ‘Puff Daddy’ Combs and Biggie Smalls to Tupac Shakur and Suge Knight. The first notable shooting was in November of 1994. Shakur was shot 5 times after heading into the lobby of Quad Recording Studios in Manhattan. Surviving, he implicated Sean Combs, Andre Harrell, and Biggie Smalls. The rapper then headed to jail and still managed to crank out albums. “Me Against the World” went multi-platinum. After serving his sentence he then cranked out the popular tune “California Love.”
Then on September 7th of 1996 Shakur went to the Mike Tyson VS. Bruce Seldon match at the MGM Grand in Vegas. After a member of the Crips was found in the lobby, Tupac attacked the offending gang member along with his entourage and Suge Knight. After the fight he and Suge were reroute to Club 662 (later renamed Seven) when a white Cadillac pulled up to the passenger side of Suge’s vehicle and fired over 12 shots. 4 of the bullets hit the rapper and reportedly took his life. His body was said to be cremated and his ashes were then rumored to be mixed with marijuana and smoked by members of the Outlawz.
Since then theories that the rapper actually survived the attack and is living in hiding have run rampant. Some fans and friends believe he still out there and left several clues that he faked his death. He was heavily into the philosophy of Niccol Machiavelli. The Italian philosopher also was rumored to fake his own death. Tupac went as far to dub himself ‘Makaveli’ and cranked out and album titled “Makaveli: Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory” after he died. After that, “R U Still Down?” was released in November of 1997. He even appeared in the videos for the songs. Managers insisted all the footage was taken 2 months before the fatal shooting.
A year later, “2pac’s Greatest” with 6 NEW tracks released. In several songs he made the mistake of referencing events that happened AFTER he died. Shakur talked about the movie “Armageddon” in one track and in another he applauds the Denver Broncos on winning the Super Bowl – both events taking place after he was supposedly dead. Then 1999 he released “Still I Rise” and “The Rose that Grew from Concrete” in 2000. He also performed live for an album called “Funkmaster Flex & Big Kap: The Tunnel” and new tracks once again came up on “Cellblock Compilation: Face Off II” and “Too Gangsta for Radio.” Finally, in 2001 a full album of all brand new Tupac tracks called “Until the End of Time” was released.
TMZ recently caught photos of what is said to be Tupac in a sighting in a New Orleans bar. Either this guy is a really good look-a-like or the actual rapper.

Don’t you just love scandal? Too bad there is none in this story. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expecting twins.
Of course Sarah Jessica isn’t knocked up. When you are rich people do that for you. A surrogate was called in to carry the babies on behalf of the couple. A rep confirmed that SJP and Matty Cakes are having twin girls.
Via People:
“[They are] happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed.”
No official word on why they opted for a surrogate. I am guessing at their age pregnancy comes with more risks. Parker is 44 and Broderick is 47. This pregnancy announcement follows reports that Matt has been tapping some strange on a regular basis (see that story by clicking HERE.) Regardless, they have been trying to conceive.
Per EW:
“They had a lot of unsuccessful tries,” says the friend. “They came to the conclusion that this was going to be the best alternative for expanding their family.” The couple turned to a surrogate — whose name and place of residence have not been disclosed — last year. “They’re over the moon and excited as any prospective parents would be,” says the friend. “Their life is about to get a lot busier.”
The Brodericks share a son, James Wilke, who is 6 years old. They have been trying for nearly two years. Recently they stepped out in a show of unity and SJP couldn’t keep her hands off Matty, while he looked like he was searching for an exit and giving the camera his “HELP ME” eyes.

Now that Madonna has been rejected as a suitable mother for Mercy James, she has invited Jesus back to her lair. Of course he obliged being that no one is stupid enough to pass up a free meal ticket.
Madge is calling in some favors and asking designer pals to hire Luz. Of course they also obliged because she is freaking Madonna. Recently Marc Jacobs pulled strings and even wrote him a letter of recommendation to stay in the country. Dolce and Gabbana have also hired him for their fall-winter men’s campaign. Donatella Versace is entertaining his involvement with in a campaign.
This all isn’t sitting well with all of the other male models. I am sure they laugh and call him names and exclude him from all their model games.
Via Gatecrasher:
“Madonna’s sometime-boy-toy got straight-up dissed by the other male catwalkers as he prepped for the Jeffrey Fashion Cares event last week at Espace. Says one backstage source: “None of the other models would talk to Jesus or even look at him. They were gossiping like catty girls about how they couldn’t wait for his career to fizzle out.”
Even his friends are sick of Jesus. They sat him down and told him he acting like a diva and needs to sit down.
“He has a big, swollen head,” says a Madonna camp pal. “Jesus was trying to charge 100K per appearance in Brazil. Friends finally sat him down and told him to get real and to stop thinking he’s the male answer to Gisele, because he isn’t.”
Those are some great friends.

So there is a small epidemic of swine flu growing into a huge problem. Typically things like this are a passing trend. Swine is the new SARS.
Everyone in Mexico is sporting face masks and are going full force on hand washing. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are south of the boarder and I am pretty sure Spencer is the cause of the outbreak. After getting married again they most annoying beings on earth headed down to Cabo for a pre-honeymoon excursion. Don’t get too excited…they are taking precautions and wearing masks like everyone else. Heidi is working on a new video which will be an epic failure, but something to laugh at in the near future.
Speaking of morons who should be forced to wear helmets….Paris Hilton feels she is safe from the swine flu because she doesn’t eat pork. A TMZ photog caught up with Hilton and asked her if she was worried about it. She replied with:
“I don’t eat that.”
Oh come on P. You aren’t fooling anyone denying your penchant for pork. By the way, swine flu is passed from human to human and pigs don’t have to be involved. Kinda like chicken pox aren’t contracted from poultry.
Sadly Hugh Jackman won’t betting his Wolverine pimping done in Mexico. The star of the X-Men spin-off is postponing his trip thanks to the epidemic. This stand up fella recently bought coffee and breakfast pastries for 800 people who waited over night for the Arizona opening of the film. Mexico will have to wait for their surprise donuts because Jackman is concerned for everyone’s health.
Per Us:
“I’m a movie fan, I love movies, but they’re just movies at the end of the day — and there are other things that are way more important, such as people’s safety. It’s very tragic what’s going on down there…I’m worried for them.”
Aww…now that is some celebrity good-doing I can get behind. Well, you know me. Anything involving delicious pastries is my bag.
However, the swine flu isn’t just Mexico’s problem. The virus is starting to spread to the U.S. According to the latest reports, two men in California have died from the outbreak. At this moment a total 69 cases of swine flu have been confirmed in the states. The death toll in Mexico has climbed to over 150. Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially declared a state of emergency. New York has even reported 28 cases. A case of swine flu has also possibly come from Orlando’s Disney World. It takes 24-48 hours to confirm a case so it is unclear if it has spread to the Magical Kingdom.
There is a dose of “real” news for you. Now that you’re all scared of pigs and hungry for pastries who’s up for some donuts?
As with all projects, if you attach Sparklepants’ name to it, it will instantly see an upsurge in interest. So is it a surprise that Robert Pattinson is rumored to be in the running for a part in ‘The Huger Games’ sequel? Well, its about as surprising as Britney Spears giving herself a break on [...]

Heidi Klum created a video for Hunger magazine. In the video she smokes, gets a tattoo and swings around a pole wearing nothing but a bunch of seat belts sewn together. (I am sure it was a Project Runway created garb. I can just picture Tim Gunn… “Everyone gather ‘round! Today you will be creating [...]
