Courteney Cox and David Arquette Reconciling !?

Courteney Cox and David Arquette have had a rocky past few months. The couple announced they were splitting up last Fall. David didn’t handle the break up well and spewed not so nice things about Court in interviews, spent lots of time partying, and then ended up in rehab. A few weeks ago David was on Oprah, talking about his addiction and his break up with Courteney, and confessed that he’d love to get his family back together. Perhaps David is getting his wish.

It’s good to see David working through his issues and it seems that Courteney is very supportive. This past weekend they were spotted at a flower shop together in Malibu. Was it just a friendly get together as friends or are they working it out? Not sure, but Courteney seemed to leave the option open. Cox told the April issue of Harper’s Bazaar she holds no ill feelings toward her husband of almost 12 years, and seemed to leave he door open for a possible reconciliation.

Per Digital Spy:

In the interview, the Cougar Town star admitted that she would have “huge waves of pain” if their partnership was dissolved entirely. “But right now, I don’t have that, because I don’t know what the future holds, and I guess because I have strong feelings for him,” Cox added.

Miley Cyrus‘ parents decided to give another try last week and Pink and her hubby were on their way to divorce, but reconciled. It could happen! Best of luck to Courteney and David!

Yesterday she twit-piced a picture of her baby bump.

ALRIGHT… because paparazzi of today have absolutely no photographic skill or artistry whatsoever, and their pictures are hideous….I’m going to post a self-portrait I took yesterday morning for all of you asking to see belly shots. 3 wks of photo classes for me… and I am already a far better photographer than any one of them…..

How cute is that!?! I bet this little rocker-baby will give Gwen Stefani’s little ones a run for their money!

Pink Wants To Name Her Child After Whiskey?

Pink, who is a few months along in her pregnancy, and her husband Carey Hart have picked out a name for their baby if it turns out to be a boy.

Per LA Times:

“My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason,” the Grammy Award winner said. “[Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, [and] Jameson — we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.”

Considering Jameson is named after an actual human being, this isn’t really so weird. It’s better than Moxie Crimefighter or Pirate. Gwenyth Paltrow named her daughter Apple for crying out loud. I’d rather have a son named Jameson than a daughter named Apple.

Classic Pink.

Pink Confirms Pregnancy – VIDEO

Here is a baby rumor that is actually true. Pink is going to have a baby friend.

Pink, real name Alecia Moore, announced that she is pregnant on Ellen. Reports started last week that the she was expecting and were followed by photos of Pink on the beach sporting a baby belly. (Click HERE for those.) On the show she confirmed the rumors and told the talk show queen that she is indeed “eating for two.” She also explained her reasoning for keeping the news so secretive.

“I was just really nervous,” Pink admits to DeGeneres. “I have had a miscarriage before, but if I was going to talk about it with anyone, it was going to be with you. I worked for it…It was not an ‘Oops.’

The “Raise Your Glass” singer and her ex husband, Carey Hart, separated in 2008 but that didn’t stop them from continuing to harbor love for each other. They rekindled their relationship and have been pretty solid since. Since then they have been trying to have a child.

“We worked really hard and we had our little meltdowns, a couple of them…we both needed to do that and come back together. It’s just yummy!”

As for the baby‘s gender, they don’t want to know.

“I’m terrified because she thinks it’s a girl! My mom has always wished me a daughter just like me,” she jokes. “I’m terrified one of us will go to jail.”

Congrats!

Pink: Kids Need Spanked

I don’t condone child abuse or putting children through walls, but I don’t think a smack bottom was ever damaging beyond learning not to use Yetta’s makeup to create a self portrait on the wall. Pink is a fan of a good spanking, but I am shaking my head at how she worded her pro-spankity views…

Via Showbiz Spy:

“I think parents need to beat the crap outta their kids… I think the whole spanking thing and how it’s gotten all PC (politically correct) is for the birds. My dad put me through a wall; it’s the only reason I’m still alive. I deserved it. I would have kicked me out when I was eight… I was not comfortable with authority or rules. I was bad.”

Obviously Pink didn’t mean parents should put cigarettes out on their children’s arms every time they forget to take the trash out, but it’s going to be twisted that way. I am sure that some sort of ‘Council of Parents With Awful Children Who Are Punished With Time Outs But Need They Spoiled Brat Beat Out of Them’ is alerting the church elders and awakening the Kraken to smote Pink’s bottom paddling statement.

Amy Adams Scores Janis Joplin Role – CONFIRMED

The upcoming biopic of Janis Joplin has a star. Despite the script undergoing a bevy of changes and has yet to nab an official studio, Amy Adams will be playing the late Miss Joplin.

Via Deadline:

“Today the website Fearnet had an interview with film producer Wyck Godfrey about the Twilight Saga, and the subject of a long-in-the-works Janis Joplin biopic came up. Godfrey mentioned in passing that Amy Adams would play the 1960s singer. I can tell you that Amy is indeed confirmed in the role for the film to be directed by Fernando Meirelles (City Of God).”

Several attempts at making a biopic centering around the “Piece of My Heart” singer’s life have been made, but no one has yet to get it off the ground. Pink reportedly came the closest to nabbing the role, but the project fell through. Let’s hope we see Fernado’s ‘Get It While You Can’ make it. Zooey Deschanel was originally slated to star in the film, but producers wanted a “bigger name” attached to the film. Which is a shame. While I like Adams, I believe Zooey is extremely talented and underrated.

“I am so so so sorry to end the show that way. I am embarrassed and very sorry. Getting xrays. I hope it at least looked cool!!! …nothings broken, no fluid in the lungs, just seriously sore.”

We have learned that the above video of the accident can only be viewed on YouTube. Merely click the link and it will take you to the accident footage.

Hollywood Dame Exclusive Interview: Lolene

Before she had recorded a note of her debut album, Lolene had already chosen its inspired title: The Electrick Hotel. “I call it The Electrick Hotel because when you put the album on, you’re my guest. I’m going to take care of you,” says the British singer, songwriter, and performer. “You’re invited to come and stay a while in my world, which I see as like a hotel where each song is a room that captures a different part of my personality and expresses different emotions. So if you’re feeling happy, you can go to the penthouse and dance to ‘Sexy People.’ If you’re heartbroken, you can visit the first-floor and have a cry to ‘Beautiful Disaster.’”

Lolene began writing songs and singing backing vocals for trip-hop artist Martina Topley-Bird (known for her work with Tricky) and local drum-and-bass pioneer Roni Size. After completing school, she moved to London and fronted an all-girl pop vocal group signed to a development deal at BMG Records. She wrote all the group’s material and realized she had a knack for writing melodies and lyrics.

It was during this time in London that Lolene acquired her nickname “Miss Foo Foo,” bestowed on her by a friend who watched Lolene drool over expensive items she couldn’t afford as the two window-shopped on London’s swanky Kings Road. “’Miss Foo Foo’ is the name of my company as well as my naughty alter ego,” Lolene says. “She’s the heightened, fabulous, eccentric part of my personality — the girl who wants it all right now. She lives in a world of heartbreak and handbags. She’s a chaser of dreams.” Miss Foo Foo is boujis (a British expression meaning to be fancy or posh) — the type who hangs out in London’s chic, ultra-private nightclubs.

Glam as it may have been, the London scene wasn’t enough to contain someone as driven as Lolene. Armed with nothing but a suitcase and a demo CD, she moved to Hollywood in search of her big break. Based on Lolene’s songwriting talent, multi-platinum producer Jonathan “J.R.” Rotem signed her to his publishing label Beluga Heights/Sony ATV. She went to work collaborating with such heavy-hitters as Andreas Carlsson (Backstreet Boys, ’N Sync, Celine Dion), Christopher Rojas (Pink, Backstreet Boys, Joss Stone), Makeba Riddick (Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Beyonce), Evan Bogart (The Writing Camp), Danja (Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, Timbaland), Harvey Mason Jr. (Underdogs), and Christina Milian, for whom Lolene penned the single “Diamonds” featuring Kanye West.

Recently, I had the chance to ask Lolene about things such as her music, goals, and musical inspirations. You can read about it below.

When did you first realize you had an interest in music and what sparked that interest?

I went to my first dance class at age 2 and since then I have been dancing, singing and performing in some way or another. I specifically remember listening to Mariah Carey and Kylie Minogue in my bedroom and realizing that this is what I wanted to do.

How did you break into the music industry?

I broke in through the back window, turned the nob and ran up the stairs! But seriously, I got my break through song-writing.

How would you describe the sound of your music, and what makes you feel like your album is different from the other artists in your genre?

I would describe my music as awkward universal pop. I make music to uplift and inspire people in some way. So there is definitely positive elements to my music. It’s also very electrosexual! But I don’t feel I’m in a position to describe how my music differs. I leave that to the good ears of my listeners.

What are some of your plans for promoting your album – do you plan on doing some touring?

Absolutely, I love to perform live, so you will definitely be catching me at a venue near you. I plan on being everywhere, including under your bed.

Musically speaking, what are some of your short term and long term goals you have lined out for yourself? What are your hopes for the upcoming year?

Universal pop domination and to continue making great music for the most amazing fans in the world.

Lyrically speaking, where do your song inspirations come from? Is it easy for you to sit down and write lyrics, or is it a bit of a challenge sometimes?

Writing lyrics comes naturally to me. i started as a poet and this is a gift I’ve been blessed with. I am truly inspired by tragedy and triumph and everything in between, I could literally write a song about anything, and I am really thankful for this gift.

Who are some of your musical interests and influences?

I am hugely influenced by Madonna, Kate Bush and Rick James. They are true showmen and entertainers. I also love Joan Collins and Cher. I really like music from the 90′s.

Who are some artists you’d like to work with?

Without a doubt Kate Bush. I would also really like to collaborate with Blondie, Ace of Base, Empire of the Sun and Prince.

What is the experience like to be out somewhere and be recognized by a fan?

It’s all still very new to me and I have to admit the first time did trip me out for a good minute. This is because you are in your own private world of creation for so long, like the studio or rehearsal room and so you forget there is a world out there sometimes. It can catch you off guard for sure. But I appreciate it and understand this is something I signed up for.

Besides music, what are some of your other interests and hobbies?

Food, I love to cook and eat. I am a total spa enthusiast also. And of course, cocktail mixologist!
