Ben Affleck feared people would think he's "just an airhead celebrity" when he got involved with charity work in Africa.The Man About Town actor - who has become a vocal supporter of humanitarian work in the Democratic Republic of Congo - admits he was worried the world wouldn't take him seriously when he announced his philanthropic plans, so decided to brush up on his knowledge of the region first.
He says, "I thought, well maybe I'd like to get involved, but I was nervous about it and I thought, you know, I don't want to be a dilettante."

For those of you who enjoyed Robert Downey, Jr. in "Iron Man" you'll have another chance to see him this summer in his August movie "Tropic Thunder." Somehow I doubt it will be as big a hit as "Iron Man."Tropic Thunder, doesn't sound like my cup of tea. The director is none other than Ben Stiller and his cast of comedic actors attempt to poke holes in the movie industry, spoofing everything from iconic action heroes to the embarrassing obnoxiousness of professional comedians to racial stereotypes facing non-white actors. This kind of satire is typically not something I find amusing. Sorry.

Recently, Gavin Rossdale was interviewed and asked what it is like to be married to Gwen Stefani. His answer bothers me, but was probably made as a joke. "It's like marrying three different people a week, because you never know who's going to come out of the bathroom."
*~*~*~*
One of the cruelest rumors I have ever heard from the land of Hollywood came about this week in reference to Ashley Tisdale. Someone started a rumor that the actress has HIV. If this had been true it of course would be very upsetting. It was said she contracted the virus after a stay in the hospital. She and her reps have said it is completely untrue. I feel extremely awful for her.

Julia Roberts' daughter has psychic powers - she knew her baby brother was going to be born prematurely, and even guessed the day. Rock on!

And...Clint Eastwood told Spike Lee he needed to "shut his face." It didn't go over well.

Drew Barrymore needed a good guy, one to keep her balanced and happy. It's so great to see this couple looking happy and googly eyed with each other. I know a lot of press are knocking their PDA but I think holding hands, smiling big and staying close to each other is something we need to see more of in LA. I just can't stand the couples who not only make out in public, but practically do each other with their clothes on. Bleck!They have a movie coming out on August 1st, "He's Just Not That Into You."
Oh and in the world of celebrity babies the rumor is that Angelina Jolie is pregnant. But now there is word that Gwen Stefani is expecting her second child with husband Gavin Rossdale. =o) Gwen was asked if Gavin is being supportive and her response was, "He makes whatever food I crave." How sweet!
