What is up with celebrity women and perfume? I don't understand why every actress under the moon feels the need to have their own fragrance line. Anyway, Halle Berry can now be added to the growing list.

"This fall, the actress will launch a new fragrance line in collaboration with Coty, who have already brought you celebrity scents by Jennifer Lopez, Posh and Becks, Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwen Stefani, Celine Dion"....you get the picture.

From what I can tell there hasn't been a description of the scent yet, anyone know?

Ashlee Simpson wanted to let everyone know she is not pregnant nor is she engaged. The ring on her finger is strictly a "promise ring" from Pete Wentz. Simpson says it just means he hasn't asked her Dad yet. Hmm. In case you were wondering, her hair is red right now. I think I liked it better a little bit darker personally.

And this guy is not a celebrity, but he is definitely insane. "A Toronto man nicknamed Pauly Unstoppable has been the first person to receive an experimental "eyeball tattoo". Basically a tattoo artist injected blue ink into Pauly's eye until it was completely blue -- some 40+ injections!" What an idiot.

And I can't decide how I feel about this movie, it might just be too stupid, what do you think?

    MySpace TV will be airing or rather streaming their entertainment news directly from TMZ.

    From the press release, ""TMZ" will populate a branded channel on MySpaceTV, providing MySpace with a window to feature select exclusive clips after they have already aired on the "TMZ" television program. "TMZ" will also provide a variety of non-exclusive clips (up to 15) on a weekly basis, featuring irreverent celebrity stories in "TMZ's" unique voice."

    TMZ claims to be the first daily entertainment program to cover Hollywood
    as it really is and celebrities as they really are. I don't know if that is ever possible, but I do check out their news for some Hollywood gossip. Of course will all celebrity related material you have to take it with a grain of salt. Lord knows how easily information can be skewed.

    And we all know what MySpace is right? It's like the virtual high school cafeteria hosting teen chat fights and popularity contests. I use it. But I use it to find new upcoming bands and for that purpose it rocks. In more professional terms, MySpace, is a unit of Fox Interactive Media Inc., it is a social network for connecting with friends.

    This will probably be a successful venture for the new partners in crime because they share a wide amount of the same population.

    When I was in 7th grade I saw the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. The performance and experience is something I will never forget. Ever since that moment I have been in awe of Broadway shows and the actors involved. Seeing something like that live and in person is something everyone should try to do at some point in their life. It is surreal.

    It would be amazing to see Wicked on Broadway though I don't believe they are still performing there although you can still search for tickets and find shows in New York. Click here for Wicked Broadway Tickets if you are interested.

    When I think about going to a show I always think about how Braeden will react since I hate doing things without him. Brian would probably be okay seeing anything, he enjoys non-fiction related things but he also has an eye and mind for fantasy from time to time. It might be fun to see The Lion King on Broadway as a family. But I', not sure how easy it would be to swing Lion King Broadway Tickets.

    Any of you who haven't been to a show like this should think about planning a weekend trip, because whether you see Wicked or The Lion King the entire experience is one that shouldn't be missed. You can click here for Broadway theater tickets. If you have children you should look for a family showing because they will be amazed, too. I'm telling you the work that goes into these shows is incredible.

    I seriously didn't think at the age of 12 I would enjoy a Broadway show, certainly not Phantom of the Opera, but I really did. Actually we all did, it was a class trip. We were mesmerized by the effects, the singing and the incredible acting. If Phantom of the Opera isn't your thing you can look for tickets to see Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Grease or even Monty Python's Spamalot. =o) Make sure to look at ticko.com because they always have premium seats left which you might not be able to get elsewhere. Sometimes the tickets are pricey, but it really is worth a splurge to be closer to the action.

    Britney Spears got to see her babies. Yay!

    Spears' dad, Jamie, was present during the three hour visit, as per the new agreement hashed out with the Federline creep lawyers this week.

    Britney's psychiatrist was also on hand.

    Okay, so the supervision of her Dad I can deal with, but did they really need to have her psychiatrist on hand. I suppose this is the only way she can show maturity in the situation though.

    Oh and lets talk about Rihanna for a bit because it's funny.

    Rihanna bought $35,000 worth of art from Todd Goldman as a birthday present to herself.

    The Umbrella diva is sending half to her New York apartment and keeping the other half in her Los Angeles home.

    She bought several paintings. They are:
    "Fat kids are harder to kidnap"
    "Goodbye kitty in a microwave"
    "Gold digger like a hooker just smarter"
    "My mom says not to run scissors"
    "Barbie is a slut"
    "A salt with a deadly weapon"
    "Smurf blue balls"

    What!? Maybe funny but I'd like to think she has better things to spend $35K on.

    Jennifer Lopez gave birth to twin babies last night. She and her husband, Marc Anthony, are elated!

    The babies were born early Friday in Long Island, N.Y. The girl was born at 12:12 a.m. and weighed 5 lbs. 7 oz., and the boy followed at 12:23 a.m., weighing 6 lbs.

    "Jennifer and Marc are delighted, thrilled and over the moon," Lopez's manager Simon Fields told People magazine.

    Although names were not released, it was reported last month that Jennifer received I.D. bracelets baring the names "Max" and "Emme."

    A great big congrats to them!

    Alright, I didn't mind their love fest on Valentine's Day, but when a celebrity couple decides they are worthy of a video game I have to roll my eyes.

    Recently, Spencer Pratt told Us magazine that they're actually "developing the Heidi and Spencer video game" with EA. "You can definitely play as us or you can play against us," Pratt said. "You can even torture me."

    He went on to say that there will be two versions - one for adults and one for minors - and that it will become available Christmas 2009. Makes you wonder when they feel they need two versions...I don't understand why they even need one!

    I expect to see many a screen capture of people torturing Pratt if this video game ever really does make it to store shelves.

    This entire idea seems like a huge joke to me. I think someone at EA is just f*ckin' with them. Now THAT would be funny!

    In the realm of celebrity birthdays we have Haylie Duff turning 23. And to celebrate she went out with friends/family wearing a smashing LBD (little black dress). I don't normally think this Duff girl is attractive but she looked good in this dress. And I need to know what kind of push-up bra she is wearing? I'm not loving the nude pumps though, it makes me stare at her feet to see if she really has shoes on. I don't want to stare at her feet.

    Dinner in West Hollywood at newly opened STK with boyfriend Nick Zano and her sister Hilary. Surprisingly Hilary was there alone and quietly.

    After dinner Haylie and her beau went to Hyde Lounge.

    I'll tell you what I'm talking about Willis. Why in the world did you get married in August and we're just now finding out? This seems VERY bizarre to me.

    The 40-year-old star of Diff'rent Strokes TV series, got married secretly last year, to a woman half his age and twice his height! Yes, he is 4'8" and she is 5'7" but she claims height has never been an issue because he is so sweet to her he might as well be 10 feet tall.

    The secret bride is 22-year-old Shannon Price. Coleman echoes Price's sentiment when it comes to their age difference telling INSIDE EDITION, "I don't have issues with age, I have issues with intelligence. She's more intelligent then I am and that's what matters to me."

    Price says she didn't want people to know about the wedding because she wants to keep her own identity and not just being known as Gary Coleman's wife. Coleman says he totally agrees with that and hopes she is famous someday. "She's a great eBay-er. She's a fabulous eBay-er. I hope she gets famous for that." WHAT!? Lol.

    Anyhoo, the lovely bride says she is afraid of her husband and has called the police many times because he has anger issues. Me thinks this is not going to last. Maybe she'll sell her wedding dress on eBay.

    The couple married on a mountaintop in Nevada on August 28, 2007.

    What!? Why would Heidi Klum offer to take in Britney Spears? That just seems so bizarre to me. Though everything surrounding Brit is bizarre, but even so I'm surprised. I wonder if she really meant it. Ima gonna have to dig deeper on that story.

    In other entertainment news...

    The movie "Jumper" did well this first weekend of being in the theaters. Hayden Christensen plays a young man who discovers that he has a genetic abnormality that allows him to teleport or "jump" anywhere in the world, but he also finds out that there is a war to annihilate "jumpers" like him. Also starring the cutie Rachel Bilson (who is reportedly dating Hayden), Samuel Jackson and Diane Lane.

    Dog loving fool Paris Hilton turned 27 years old today. Wahoo. Blah.

    Rumors are circulating that Minnie Driver might be pregnant. Driver is dating a man named Matthew who lives in England, but that's all I have been able to dig up.

    Prince and the Village People plan to sue a Swedish website for allowing users to download their songs without permission. However, attorneys representing the music acts admit securing the lawsuit is proving difficult because they cannot identify the culprits. Lol. Shouldn't they just be happy that people still want to listen to their music. Hehe.

    And there is some trash going around about Dinner: Impossible chef, Robert Irvine. The gossip states he has lied about most of his credentials as a chef before being on the Food Network. I don't know what is true, but I do like watching his show and it does seem he has a lot of experience. If he owes people money then he needs to pay up though, I can't stand moochers. It's also being reported that he lied about his college degree, his being a "knight" in England and his having been a full-time chef at the White House. Oh tis a great shame when people fib.

    Don't you want to know who did what on Valentine's Day?

    Heidi Montag spent the day on a yacht with her boyfriend Spencer Pratt; complete with roses, champagne, and chocolate-dipped strawberries. (My husband did way better with red wine, perogis and chocolate covered not dipped strawberries).

    Sarah Jessica Parker spent her Valentine's Day braving the recently colder NYC weather with her smaller favorite man. As much as I agree with making sure your child isn't cold, I just don't think I could ever shove my kid into a bag which is essentially what she did. Note the plastic in the picture.

    Spice Girl Victoria Beckham spent her Valentine's Day with one of the other men in her life, her young son Cruz, while her husband David was taking care of their other two kids in LA. Odd?

    Lily Allen spent 16 hours partying at the Vivienne Westwood fashion show, the Mulberry party and stumbling out of Punk nightclub early this morning, amongst some of the highlights.

    Love birds Enrique Iglesias and Anna Kournikova took their speed boat out for a cruise around Biscayne Bay.

    Oasis bad boy Liam Ghallagher and All Saints good girl Nicole Appleton tied the knot in a secret ceremony in London on Valentine's Day.

    American Idol is all the rage in the world of people who enjoy watching competitions and hearing Simon Cowell tell people off. Or, if you're like me, watching Paula Abdul clap without letting her fingers touch and hearing Randy call people dogs. Hehe.

    The three contenders from Delaware did not make it to the final 24. Bummer. I really liked Jonathan Baines, 17, of Smyrna. When he auditioned, singing Little Big Town's "A Little More You" it was perfect! Baines sang a few lines of the song before he was interrupted by Simon Cowell. "You have a very good voice," Simon said before fellow judge Paula Abdul agreed. That was all it took and Simon announced, "You're going to Hollywood!"

    Here are this year's top 24 contestants, in no particular order: Carly Smithson, David Cook, Amanda Overmyer, David Archuleta, Brooke White, Danny Noriega, Jason Castro, Luke Menard, Alexandrea Lushington, Ramiele Malubay, Syesha Mercado, Robbie Carrico, Garrett Haley, Kady Malloy, Chikezie Eze, Amy Davis, Alaina Whitaker, Jason Yeager, Michael Johns, Asia'h Epperson, David Hernandez, Colton Berry, Joanne Borgella and Kristy Lee Cook.

    And I will never watch "One Tree Hill" again.

    Why?

    Because Kevin Federline (also Britney Spears's rodent-like ex-husband) is doing three episodes where he plays a struggling musician whom one of the characters will try to help.

    Bleck.

    He is a terrible rapper, father, person and actor.



    In other more important and far better news the rumors about celebrity pregnancies today include Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey. The couple have been seeing each other for several years now and Jenny is constantly gushing about how great Jim is with her son. Wowzers! I'm excited for thems if this is true.

    Celebrities are just like us, they like to take vacations and see new places. For them it might be a spot that is low key for them to hide and de-stress, like well, Delaware. Hahaha. But for us it's the opposite. (Though I wouldn't mind de-stressing).

    A romantic getaway for me would be in a log cabin somewhere in the mountains, snowed in, fireplace, lots of wine and cozy pajammies to leave on and take off at will ;o) Bri and I weren't able to take a honeymoon this November but we will in the future when the finances are better and Brae is a bit older. Hopefully. Until then family vacation ideas are always floating around and being jotted down.

    As of right now he has done many romantic things for me and my favorite times most often involve concerts. Going to the Borgata in New Jersey to see Def Leppard and then driving up to the top to take pictures. Sure it was freezing but the pictures were great and we were giddy fools. So it was fun.

    We've also spent time at venues in Philadelphia including the Wachovia Center where we've seen Phil Collins, Aerosmith, Keith Urban and a host of other fantastic artists. It would be nice to be able to have a long weekend in Philly and tour the historical elements of the city. If not Philly, I'd love to go up to New York and visit the Musuem of Modern Art.

    I have been to New York for a weekend once, with my younger brother, and the trip was just too short. I could look at art all day. New York City tours are something everyone should do in their lifetime because you'll never see a city so full of life and color as you will in NY. If you end up lucky enough to tour New York City, make sure to use Trusted Tours & Attractions for your booking because they know all the best places, even the hidden ones. =o)

    The way she fawns over her precious dog, you'd think Paris Hilton liked animals. Apparently though she had adopted a kitten only to neglect it.

    The Kris Kelly Foundation rescued poor kitty Prada, from the vet after Paris abandoned it when she took Prada in to be neutered. Kris Kelly herself called Hilton to come get the cat, but says her calls went ignored. Kelly says: "It's a clear-cut case of abandonment."

    Paris' reps have been quoted saying she thought the kitty would be delivered home from the vet, like a pizza. The kitten was at the vet for THREE WEEKS. Poor Prada. =o(

    In other celebrity news, you all know how I follow celebrity pregnancies. Well, rumor has it that Fergie is pregnant though this hasn't been confirmed. She and fiance Josh Duhamel, are moving up their wedding date and she bought a gown while in New York for the Grammys. She still looked great in the big bird yellow dress she worem but some are saying they spied a baby bump.

    Roy Scheider, known for his role as the police chief in 1975's Jaws, has passed away.

    The actor died Sunday at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. He was 75 years young.

    Scheider had been treated for multiple myeloma at the hospital's Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy for the past two years and had battled with blood cancer for the past three years. He leaves behind his wife and three children, whom I offer my prayers to during the time of sadness.

    Aside for being known for Jaws, I also remember him as Captain Nathan Bridger from the show SeaQuest. In his later years he mainly appeared in more independent type flicks.

    He will be in two upcoming films this year, one which is still in post-production. The latter is a film written and directed by Joshua Newton. It is "Iron Cross" and Rob Scheider played the lead, a retired New York cop, who witnessed the massacre of his family in Poland in 1941.

    Can someone please explain to me why Miley aka Hannah looks so awful? She looked like she had eight pounds of makeup on and had been crying so her face was swollen. What's wrong, is she sick? I'm concerned. I have never seen her look so puffy. And please someone pull her aside and tell her to stop puckering her lips for every photo. It is just unnatural. Only Angelina Jolie can pull off the pucker.

    Everyone else is talking about the clothes of course and Beyonce's new hair color. Big deal. She could dye her hair pink and I wouldn't feel the need to talk about it. I don't like the hype she gets. Although I am ujpset about Jessica Biel's platinum blonde look, it blends in with her face, she needs more color. =o/

    And then there is the news of Amy Winehouse getting a katrillion Grammy awards. Way to go guys, everyone clap for the drug addict and tell her what a fantastic career she has. She'll have little girls everywhere trying to figure out how they can be just like her. Good grief. Why!

    Waiting in a forever long line I perused the tabloid headlines to see the latest celebrity gossip. One of them in HUGE letters spelled out "My Mom slept with my husband" next to a picture of Britney Spears. I hope to God it's not true, but I would have to say that could explain an awful lot.

    From the very beginning I have felt most of Brit's stupidness has been dramatized by Kevin Federline. I think he is a total creep and he gets off on putting her flaws and errors out in the light. As if he is some kind of perfect father. Rather than anyone follow his ever move he makes sure all eyes are always on Britney. I hate that!

    In other "oh no she did not news" we have celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe. She threw a tantrum during New York Fashion Week on Friday night. Because she was denied entrance into the Marc Jacobs fashion show.

    And two lovely ladies you'd never guess would need rehab are indeed in rehab, Eva Mendes and Kirsten Dunst both checked into the Cirque Lodge. Which you may recognize as having been the center where Lindsay Lohan recently spent a good bit of time.

    And last but not least, a tentative deal has been made to end the writer's strike which has been ruining television for months on end. You can read the details here.

    And not just any grown men, I'm talking about Brad Bitt, Michael Jordan and Denzel Washington to name a select few.

    Apparently, there is a new motorcycle that all the big namers want and they want it now, but they also want it first. Well, the first Ducati Desmosedici RR motorcyle (retail price: $72,500) had been snapped up by longtime Ducati enthusiast Tom Cruise, because Cruise was promised by Ducati's North American chief.

    Brad Pitt was so mad that he demanded all freight shipments be stopped immediately until his motorcycle arrived. Oh good grief! I hope this isn't true. I really can't imagine it is, I'm sure he didn't like the idea of not getting the bike first but I highly doubt he threw a tantrum.

    As for Michael Jordan and Denzel Washington, they are both on the waiting list for this bike and they got mad after hearing Brad Pitt had put a "freeze" on shipments. Lol. Sounds like a pre-k cat fight to me.

    Mommy!!!! Tommy got the new double shooter super blaster soaking drenching power water gun before I did!

    Oh we knew this already, but now it has been "officially" confirmed. J-Lo is indeed having twins. Nothing like starting motherhood with a bang. Not that she'll be doing it alone or anything, but I can't imagine twins. One newborn at a time is challenging enough.

    And the person who told, was her papa, David Lopez.

    "The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it's a hereditary thing." For David Lopez, the news means double the excitement.

    Well Mr. Lopez, if your sister had twins well then it was bound to happen....why would he even make a statement like that, "in my family" just because your sister has twins doesn't mean your daughter is bound to as well. Eh, maybe it does, I don't know. I always thought women who used fertility drugs were more likely to have multiple babies at once. And we do know J-Lo has been wanting a baby for quite some time, who's to say she did this whole thing natural. And there is no harm in that either, I'd do whatever I had to do if there was a flicker of a chance and I wanted a baby. Being a mama is the best thing in the whole world.

    Last celebrity twin pregnancy I can remember was Housewives star Marcia Cross fraternal twin daughters which were born in February of 2007. She and her husband were in their 40s and had been eagerly awaiting having children.

    Do you guys know any others?

    Whether you get antsy or not, everyone likes to have some form of entertainment while on-the-go. With so many restrictions during travel time it's difficult now to do anything except read. For those of us who prefer visual entertainment reading can become boring easily. (I love to read, but I know some people who would rather not).

    Anyhoo, thanks to the digital age of, well, everything, you can now find many forms of entertainment on your cell phone. Playphone has all the Super Bowl ads ready for your viewing pleasure on your phone.



    One of the best ads this year was the "What is Love" Diet Pepsi ad. Mostly because it reminds you of a "Night at the Roxbury" and ends with Chris Kattan walking out a door which was just priceless. With the clip below you can see behind-the-scenes look features LL Cool J, Busta Rhymes, Missy Elliott and Enigma Haddaway trying not to laugh during their head nods. I mean how can you not crack up at this commercial, it is totally entertaining, you definitely need to have it to play at anytime and thanks to Playphone you can do just that. I guarantee you'll be doing the head tilt to the beat by the end of the clip.

    Just in case you're cautious about mobile programs, you don't have to worry. PlayPhone is already powering many of the mobile apps you probably already use. Which includes: Sega Mobile, ABC Mobile, Bandai Wireless, Lycos Mobile, Real Arcade Mobile, I-play.com, Skyzone Mobile, Trymedia Mobile, Wal-Mart Mobile and Cartoon Network's mobile fun. They have videos, obviously, ringtones, games, wallpapers and yes, even widgets. Check it out loves, never be bored again!

    So he feeds his children chocolate cake for breakfast...and now he is producing a "non-profane" rap album. Does he think this will set an example to other hip hop and rapper artists? Lol. They'd have to listen to it first...without laughing so hysterically that they can't really hear it.

    Cosby's album would follow in a psuedo-revolutionary, "edutainment" tradition pioneered by rap crews like Boogie Down Productions two decades ago. The album will be called State of Emergency and will focus on social issues.

    I don't particularly enjoy rap music, though sometimes the beat is good. It's just not my thing, but even being open minded I'm nearly cringing at the thought of Bill Cosby being a rapper. I mean if he were rapping on Sesame Street with Kermit the Frog that is one thing, but on radio? Nah.

    I'm not against someone wanting to make a stand against offensive rap music, but I just don't think Bill Cosby is the man for the job.
