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."

Chloe Jo Berman, recently appeared on hip-hop station Hop 97 to chat about green living, veganism and how to be a sexy environmentalist.
About the interview, Chloe says:
"I had all sorts of preconceived notions about how hip hop tough guys would react to my eco, green, vegan ideas - but they were all smashed in the shnozz by the most open minded and adorably funny gentlemen I've met in years."

Though the story that Chris Brown may have assaulted Rihanna over the weekend is dispiriting enough, in Hollywood, things can always get worse. Now, news is breaking about a new allegation.
Now, though, TMZ is reporting that an investigation is ongoing to charge Brown with assault with a deadly weapon-though the weapon in question is unknown.
Rihanna went to Cedars Sinai sporting facial bruises, while Brown fled the scene, only to eventually turn himself in (under the charge of making "criminal threats") before posting bail.
I have a new found respect for Rihanna since I found out her compassion in helping patients with leukemia, so this is even more upsetting.

Kate Hudson has rekindled her romance with ex Owen Wilson, it has been claimed.
The actress - who is divorced from Black Crowes rocker Chris Robinson - has dated the Marley & Me actor on and off since 2006.
And rumors the pair are back together are now rife - after Kate was seen visiting Owen's Malibu home several times in the past two weeks.
I say doubtful, the two are just good friends, but we'll see.

I'm sure you've already heard all the Grammy news. I'm not going to rehash, but I did want to mention one winner in particular.
The former Vice-President became only the 9th person in history to sweep all four major entertainment categories - Oscar, Tony, Emmy, and Grammy - by claiming a Grammy last night for Best Spoken Word Album for the audio book of An Inconvenient Truth.

Leonardo DiCaprio is in Germany today for the Berlin International Film Festival and will be receiving the "International Green Film Award". The honor, presented by BMW by Mikhail Gorbachev, is akin to a "Green Oscar," offering a platform for environmental activists and dedicated artists to draw attention as well as strengthen and encourage the public conscience for environmental issues. The Award comes with a $250,000 donation for an environmental foundation or film project.

From the lovely blog os Perez Hilton, Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan O'Brien next year on Late Night, when the ginger-haired comedian replaces Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.The Saturday Night Live alum should easily appeal to the college dudes that watch O'Brien, but...
Will he bring in new viewers????
Unlikely!

Weird club scene: A newly single Al Reynolds was hitting on women and "drinking all night with his pinky in the air." Sean Combs, in the same establishment, was sitting in the corner reading a book. PIC HERE
*~*~*
Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson: Engaged??? Apparently she has a huge new rock on her finger. A source says, "He picked out the ring and went for the biggest one he could find. He was nervous about proposing but Kate was thrilled and the whole thing was really emotional." Hmmm, I don't think so guys. Hudson is filming a movie about brides or weddings or something, it's probably just costume jewelry.

Have you ever seen Benji Madden? He is Paris Hilton's latest beau and he is hardcore grunge looking with tattoos from head to toe. I mean he is a total rocker, okay?Well. Benji's birthday was yesterday and Paris decided to do something special for him. She took him to Ole Henriksen Face & Body Spa in West Hollywood for a facial. OH MY GRACIOUS. Can you even, I just...there are no words.
Britney's ex? boyfriend Adnan Ghalib, showed up to her gated community on Monday night. And for the first time since her dad and brother took over her life...they opened the gate. I wonder what that is all about. Hmmm. Good news is she has started working again. Britney Spears attended a table reading with the cast of "How I Met Your Mother" on Monday. She will have a guest starring role on their March 24th episode.
Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston are in Miami, where they're currently playing husband and wife on the set of the upcoming film Marley and Me. Rumors of course are that they are now a couple. From Vince Vaughn to Owen Wilson...? I don't know. Though I so like Owen and Jennifer, I'm not sure I think they should be romantically involved. I think they both have personal things to work out first. Like her still being upset over Brad and Angelina and well you know...his recent suicide attempt. I'm all for a friendship for them, but anything else would scare me.
And yes, it is true, PETA has signed porn star Jenna Jameson for their latest "Pleather Yourself" ad campaign. She said: "I've worn a lot of pleather in my life. Anybody that knows Jenna Jameson knows I've lived half my life in it." Must we talk in the third person!? Bleck. Looks airbrushed to me, but I'm all for helping PETA. =o)
