Still, her father made everything possible to make his daughter famous. Thanks to him she signed a contract with the label and toured with the boys-band 98 Degrees. In 1998 she released an album Sweet Kisses and her single I Wanna Love You Forever was a huge success.

Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey

In 2002 Jessica Simpson married Nick Lachey, one of the members of 98 Degrees. Then they appeared in mega-popular MTV show “Newlyweds“. However after three years of marriage Simpson filed for divorce saying that the last year was just pretending for public. Also she added that she was sorry to leave her husband without financial support. Meanwhile, Lachey struck back revealing she was a horrible lover.

Since then gossips has been following Jessica Simpson endlessly. Soon after the divorce she was linked to Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine. Later her solid relationship with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was under the question. Later paparazzi saw her having dinner with Jerard Butler who in his turn was linked to Jeniffer Aniston.

While Jessica is experiencing complicated private life, her younger sister Ashlee Simpson enjoys a quiet family life with her husband Pete Wentz from Fall Out Boy and their son Bronx Mowgli Wentz.

Recently, Jessica Simpson contrived to make a stir in the public minds with her new curves. The singer has significantly put on weight. Journalists have even asked Nick Lachey about her ex-wife new body. Despite all the squabbles they’ve gone through, he showed himself like a real gentleman. He said that it was ridiculous to make stories about her weight and he hoped that she was happy regardless how much she weighed.

It seems that we’re going to get much more gossips from this girl. So let’s wait a little.

However the fact is that the majority of celebrities that went through the plastic surgery look… well, awful. It’s just inconceivable to me. Most of celebs are good-looking by nature. So why try to change it? To look 5 years younger for a couple of years and then try to hide all those terrible consequences with experiencing other procedures? It’s a vicious circle, you know.

Does anybody remember what Donatella Versace looked like when she was… er… a normal human being? What’s nice in turning into a mockery of yourself instead of aging gracefully?

Or what was Victoria Beckham thinking of when she was fixing those huge boobs to her thin body?

However, some celebrities do recognize they made a mistake. Like Jessica Simpson who made lip enhancement but it didn’t look like she’d been expecting. But in four months the lips turned to normal look and she only sighed with relief.

Other celebrities limit themselves to one operation like rhinoplasty or, in other words, a nose job. Mainly they do that for better look, like did Halle Berry, Fergie, Demi Moore and even Ozzy Osbourne. The latter confessed that rhinoplasty has boosted his self-esteem.

However, most often celebrity plastic surgery ends up quite sadly with Jocelyn Wildenstein and Michael Jackson topping this list. While Michael did everything to look like a normal white guy, it seems that Jocelyn tried her best to look like a giant nightmare cat.

Celebrity plastic surgery experiences are sad and hilarious at the same time. But one thing still remains urging. With all these implants and fake body part celebrities lose their personality. They stop being original. They stop being real.

Just imagine. You open a newspaper and see yourself being dragged out of a night club heavily drunk fighting with club bouncers and swearing like hell. The thing is it’s not you. It’s celebrity fake picture. The tendency is growing. Image software editors can do “miracles”. Today you can see celebs naked in unbelievable entourage doing all the “adult stuff” possible just like in hardcore porn.

Ashley Olsen. Celebrity Fake Tanning

However, one thing remains a secret to me. It’s clear that all those dirty pictures and video are manipulated. Celebrity fakes are obvious as the quality are usually very low, to say the least. How come they still agitate public minds? Is it because we really want to see celebrities in negative light and it’s just our imagination that does the rest? It’s sad and frustrating.

The point is that the internet offers the whole range of possibilities which may be used in both directions positive and negative. Celebrity fakes are one of the one-day net tendencies that I hope will be played out soon.

The elder O’Grady says that he didn’t speak to Rachel for ages until he saw her pictures in tabloids and was shocked. He insists the woman his son loved was totally different person and now it’s exactly media created that monster.

To remind, 32-old Andy O’Grady was an investment banker and Rachel Uchitel’s fiancée who died in 9/11 terrorist attacks when the second plane crashed into the South Tower.

As Kate claims herself it’s never enough for people for being ecstatic about her private life. Whether it’s her husband, musician Chris Robinson, sport star Lance Armstrong or actor celebrity Owen Wilson people are always eager to get new details.

Meanwhile, the only person who stays impartial to this hype is Kate Hudson’s star mum, Goldie Hawn. She’s been always happy to welcome anyone who her daughter brought to their house. Hudson is pretty sure her mother will be happy to meet her new boyfriend. Kate says her mum is not the one who shakes hands, she always gives hugs and kisses people close to her daughter when she meets them. Failures happen but this family was never afraid to face them.

Meanwhile, this warm family attitude concerns not only personal but also professional life. We’re all waiting for a potentially new musical hit with the whole Hollywood female upfront division involved including Hudson. In a new movie “Nine” Kate is going to sing and dance along with Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman and Fergie. Not a bad company, how do you reckon? So Goldie Hawn gives all her support to her daughter as she started her acting career exactly as a dancer so she knows quite well how hard it was for Kate.

Well, what can I say? We can only be happy or jealous about such a strong family ties! As for the Kate’s new movie, go girl!

James Lovett started his surfing experience rather early before the age of 10. At 14 he became a true professional and since then took part and got awarded at numerous competitions. The real success dawned on 17-year-old surfer in 2004 when he won the famous Centurion World Wake.

Meanwhile, the show Lovett takes part in is the latest VH1’s “Celebrity Rehab” spin-off. The series will examine such taboo topic as sex addictioneck. Addiction itself is nothing new in the society. We’ve seen lots of them: drugs, alcohol, food but sex is slightly different. During the show eight patients, including James Lovett, will undergo an intensive therapy. They will live together for 21 days meeting Dr. Drew in personal and group treating sessions. In this show we are going to see how Lovett and the gang will break their addiction.

So be sure to switch your TV in time. Personally, I think that James Lovett in “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew” is going to be a total laugh!

Reportedly, the ambulance conveyed Tiger Woods’ mother-in-law to the infamous Health Central Hospital. It’s the same hospital where Woods was taken after his car accident.

Sources inform that firstly woman was on advanced life support. However later the Health Central Hospital spokesperson released a statement saying Holmberg was in stable condition.

For now it’s all we know. Let’s wait a bit for more details.

Grammy nomination 2010 - Beyonce

By the way, last year the Grammy founders and CBS channel decided to make out of a boring listing of the artists nominated for the awards a nice show. They called for pop and rock stars and organized a great performance.

It seems that this year the budget was rather limited. There were just a few performances. Probably, Black Eyed Peas were most memorable. As the host organizers have invited Ringo Starr and Smokey Robinson. The old pals gave a hug to each other on the stage and paid a few mutual jokes.

Apparently, the main award receiver next year will be 28-year-old Beyonce Knowles who already has seven Grammy. This time she can grab awards in the whole ten nominations, including the most prestigious “Record of the Year” and “Album of the Year“. Taylor Swift is nominated for eight nominations while ice-breaking Lady GaGa appeared in five nominations. Black Eyed Peas and Kanye West have received six nominations meanwhile only rockers to grab awards are “Kings Of Leon” with four nominations.

Interested already how it’s going to end? Grammy Nominations 2010 are all known. And it’s just a matter of weeks to find out who’s going to knock everybody down!

1. Russell Crowe

Firstly, answer the question. Who’s got the most well-known temper on Hollywood hills? Who are all paparazzi afraid of? And who can knock you down with one hook? Oh, yeah. We all know the answer. It’s Hollywood drama king, Russell Crowe. Basically originating from New Zealand little Russel moved to Australia with his family when he was only 4 years old. He graduated from the National Institute of Dramatic Art of Australia and got a job in the movie “Romper Stomper” that made him a star. Later he migrated to America and became even more famous by grabbing one Oscar for “Gladiator” and two nominations for “The Insider” and “A Beautiful Mind“.

Russell Crowe

2. Mel Gibson

Another Aussie-turned-American crazy beast is unarguably Mel Colm-Cille Gerard Gibson or Mel Gibson like we all know him. Born in New York but grown in Sydney he studied at the National Institute of Dramatic Art. Notably, he’s one of those who received Oscar for the directing and acting in the hit “Braveheart“. In 2004 he produced and directed extremely controversial movie “The Passion of the Christ” about sufferings of Jesus Christ during last hours of his life. Well, you may love Gibson or disgust him but you must admit that he’s got a style!

Mel Gibson

3. Eric Bana

Less talked about but nevertheless talented is Eric Bana. Everybody remembers him in “Troy“. He started his career as a series comedian and ended with such hits as “Munich” and “The Hulk“. And do not forget his villain in “Star Trek“.

Eric-Bana

4. Heath Ledger

It would be unforgivable not to mention deceased Heath Ledger. It is pointless to say how devastated we all were when we knew about his untimely death. Especially as, he was a goddamn good actor. It is really difficult to call out any other young actor with such a unique talent. We all know his best roles and movies that he made blockbusters. So let’s just stand in memory of him…

Heath Ledger

5. Hugh Jackman

To wind up, I can offer another hot Aussie delivery, namely Hugh Jackman. Being Sexiest Man Alive 2008 and just a nice actor this heartthrob is known for such movies as “X-Men” and “Van Helsing“. Naturally, anyone of us can recall lots of other movies with him. But like I said it’s time to wind up.

Hugh Jackman

Thanks for your attention! This is my five favorite Australian actors. Maybe you have another top 5. If yes, then share with me!

Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz

To date, Penelope is looking for a dress and is ecstatic to marry during the holiday season. It is known that her parents are conservative Catholics insisting on her having the official relationship with her long-term boyfriend. Meanwhile, according to an insider, Bardem is not that enthusiastic about such a soon wedding. However, Cruz is eager to make her parents satisfied.

Regarding the wedding dress, as both Penelope and Javier come from Spain, they want exactly a Spanish designer to make a wedding gown. It is rumored that the dress may be designed by the House of Balenciaga. The fashion house was founded by Cristobal Balenciaga, the Spanish designer. It is also known that exactly the House of Balenciaga designed a wedding dress for a good Penelope’s friend Salma Hayek when she married billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.

Now the fashion house is headed by Nicolas Ghesquiere who will surely be excited to create a dream dress for Penelope Cruz.

The wedding rumors get even more interesting as earlier this year, particularly in summer, Cruz claimed she didn’t believe in marriage so she and Bardem could never tie the knot. However, she said it didn’t mean she didn’t want a family and children. However, if it really happens, we won’t see the beauty in movies any more.

One way or another, something resonant is very likely to happen in the nearest future. So, we’re waiting!

Serena Williams

It is also reported that if in the next two years Williams commits another major offence, we won’t see her in the U.S. Open in 2010, 2011 or 2012. Also, the fine may be decreased to 82,500 dollars in case she doesn’t commit offences in 2011.

Meanwhile, the offence Williams has been punished for had place in September when the line judge called Serena for a foot foul. Shocked Williams raged at the judge. She shook a racket and ball and said to “shove it down” the woman’s throat. Later that day Serena made an official apology saying she “handled the situation poorly” but she refused to apologize to the line judge in person.

The verdict regarding the punishment was taken on Saturday when the committee responsible for grand slam events met to discuss the situation.

Meanwhile, there is nothing for it but to wait and see whether the irritable tennis star will do her best in not showing her temper again.

It is also known that former Stanford University graduate, Marc Mezvinsky joined up 3G Capital from Goldman Sachs where he worked as an investment banker.

Meanwhile Chelsea Clinton is the only daughter of the ex-president Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Wow, what a background! She worked as an analyst at the Avenue Capital Group. Then she helped her mother in 2008 campaigning. Later she started studying public health at the school at Colombia University.

All in all, Marc, 31, and Chelsea, 29, had a long history relationship. For multiple times the engagement rumors have been circulating. However, it seems that this time political-wise lovebirds are serious!

Tiger Woods mistress Rachel Uchitel

Though, this man-eater married Steven Ehrenkranz, a Wall Street trader, after four months of marriage they split. It is also known that Rachel Uchitel was engaged with Andy O’Grady who tragically died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

So what led Rachel to becoming a Tiger Woods’ mistress? Basically, it was the National Enquirer that made a stir when it claimed she had an affair with the golf legend after they met at Manhattan’s Griffin nightclub. As Rachel Uchitel says herself, she hasn’t anything to do with Woods. She said she met him twice and that was all.

Things get even more interesting after a car crash that Tiger Woods got into as Rachel Uchitel is suspected in being involved. It is rumored that Woods’s wife Elin Woods was furious about gossips about her husband’s mistress that he just had to run away as quickly as he could. As a result he hit a tree and hydrant.

So it’s quite questionable whether Rachel Uchitel is really Tiger Woods’ mistress or tabloids just do their job… What do you think?

The thing is that an image with Michelle Obama having monkey features was posted on Hot Girls, a blog owned by Blogger, Google blog service. And every time you googled Michelle Obama, the service gave out this image. The situation is even more triggered as “Michelle Obama Monkey Image” was on the top of the Google search results.

At first, Google refused to remove the picture from the blog explaining it with ads and private policy. They amazed that a blog small-sized picture could cause such a loud outcry. Later, however Google removed it and apologized for this offensive image as well as their arrogant behavior.

Meanwhile, the manipulated image is criticized by the general public, not only Afro-Americans. Though, it’s been said a lot about freedom of speech. However, it’s just above any limits as it testifies not only about bad taste but has some serious racist hint. In fact, some people were horrified to see the US first lady like this as it indicates that the American people are not that democratic as they claim to be.

Anyway, what’s the moral of this story? Don’t mess with Michelle Obama!

Jennifer Lopez

The entire event was airing live. However the West Coast didn’t see the fall as ABC had cut it out. Later she joked about the confusing moment telling she meant to fall as it was part of her performance.

However, nobody knows whether it was that funny backstage after it as Lopez is known for being a captious perfectionist. Maybe some of the dancers were fired… Well, there is no mention of it. Meantime, the Lopez’ comeback has been speculated for a while. However, there was nothing special in the performance. So, maybe exactly such unplanned fall made it really interesting.

Meanwhile Jennifer Lopez’s fall is making a net sensation at the moment starting with YouTube and ending with Twitter and Google.

All in all, Jennifer Lopez meant to hit the stage and, in fact, she did it in both literal and figurative senses.

Meanwhile, as Oprah Winfrey says that she doesn’t say goodbye to her viewers. She just wants to put maximum effort into the project of the Discovery Communications channel, “The Oprah Winfrey Network“. It is going to be the joint project of the TV presenter and the channel.

According to personal Oprah’s statement the main reason for winding up the show is that she “loves it enough to know when it’s time to say good-bye”. Wisely enough.

Meanwhile, for now “The Oprah Winfrey Show” is the most popular TV show in the USA. It’s shot in Chicago and the company ABC transmits it across the country. Thanks to her show Oprah Winfrey was recognized as the most influential person in the show business in 2009 with her fortune making up to 2.7 billion dollars.

The American viewers first saw Winfrey’s show in 1984 when the budding TV presenter moved to Chicago from Tennessee. There she began her morning talk show which lately became “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and first version of which was screened on September 8, 1986.

To date, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” has broken all the records in the number of TV daytime broadcasts. Among the guests the viewers saw all the famous musicians, athletes, politicians and show business figures. At the same time, having no children herself Oprah has opened an orphanage academy for girls. And it’s only the tip of the iceberg in her charity activity.

So, we hope that “The Oprah Winfrey Network” is going to be just a beginning and we’ll see much more interesting projects from the renowned TV hostess.

When it comes to the combination of real beauty and real intelligence, first who you start thinking of is Natalie Portman. She’s one of the first-class actresses without the Oscar award, though. But she’ll get it. It’s beyond any doubts. From the The Professional to Closer we saw her maturing from a tomboy into a young graceful woman. Just love her!

Natalie Portman

4.

If Portman is a classic beauty, then exotic, furious and ultimate stunningness should be associated with Penelope Cruz. Born in Spain this glittering woman has worked along with the most prominent male actors in Hollywood as Johnny Deep in Blow, Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky and Matthew McConaughey in Sahara. Receiving Oscar she said she was going to faint. Don’t sweetheart. It’s just a beginning.

Penelope Cruz

3.

Another dazzling beauty is Charlize Theron. It’s already a pleasure just to look at her. But don’t forget about her talent and natural bashfulness which is quite admirable minding her Hollywood status. Charlize Theron is a quintessential stunner breaking all the stereotypes about blonds.

Charlize Theron

2.

A new sex icon with the flavor of old Hollywood must be no other than Scarlett Johansson. The phenomenon of this gorgeous chameleon is about her natural sexiness and femininity. All the women should be grateful to her as she certainly returned the fashion for curvy bodies.

Scarlett Johansson

The top of my list of the most beautiful actresses is obviously occupied by Angelina Jolie. Although, she’s not young as 10 years ago, still she firmly stands to her guns. New starlets (like Megan Fox groundlessly compared to her) are way too far from this goddess. Angie’s got it all: harmless sensitivity, fierce sexiness, disarming effortlessness and one of the most magnificent looks on this planet. She’s the winner!

Angelina Jolie

This is my top 5. And what’s yours?

Jennifer Aniston

Probably, the most gossiped subject concerns Aniston’s engagement. Or if to be more precise – numerous engagements. Poor girl has been linked to Gerard Butler, John Mayer, Bradley Cooper and Brad Pitt (surprise, surprise) in the last eight (!!!) months. As for Gerard Butler, he and Jen have laughed the matter off telling it amuses them most when there are three rumors a day about them. When first is about their dating, the next about splitting and the last Aniston’s being pregnant with Mayer’s child! Oh, this is so lovely… Who’s gonna be the next? I think we’ll see it very, very soon.

Jennifer Aniston

Another unreliable and silly rumor claims that Jennifer Aniston has joined the secret society of the Illuminati! People, come on! Don’t be so ridiculous! I understand that rumors on celebrities are tempting. It’s hard to resist speculating on their personal life. But that. You must be kidding!

Let’s take another direction. How do you reckon, will Jennifer Aniston be a cool Bond Girl? Yeah, she’ll be fantabulous in this role! Such rumors appear from time to time. It’s just a pity Aniston doesn’t give any comments. But as we all know Bond movies are a direct path to the Golden Globe or Oscar awards. So why hesitate, Jen?

To sum, it’s hard to be a celebrity. However, if you’ve chosen this way, it means that you take all the side effects. Keep on moving, Jen. We love you and all the gossips about you!

In comparison the last year sexiest man alive Hugh Jackman is way not so overwhelmingly popular as the 23 year old British. However, this gorgeous family man doesn’t seem to be much upset about that. No comments were voiced by previous years’ winners either, namely by Matt Damon (2007), George Clooney (double win in 2006 and 1997) and Matthew McConaughey (2005).

Basically, “Sexiest Man Alive” People’s annual feature was created as a guide of male’s popularity and attractiveness. In some way, it is similar to the Time’s “Person of the Year“. The title was spontaneous as it usually happens when female editor called Mel Gibson the sexiest man alive which migrated straight on the magazine cover.

Meanwhile, this year’s womanizer produces other hype. Natural rumors on Robert Pattinson’s private life are escalating day by day. Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson cause true hysteria as they keep silence on their alleged relationship. Quite obviously, they keep telling they’re just friends even after they’ve been caught holding hands at the airport in London.

However, it’s not enough for the young philanderer. Reportedly, he’s linked to another actress. Camille Belle and Robert Pattinson make new tabloid covers as the two were seen together at many occasions. It’s even more interesting as Belle dated Joe Jonas, the Taylor Swift’s ex. Are you still following me? Or are you already confused? It seems to me that I’m getting vertigo of these love triangles, quadrangles and pentagons.

One way or another, with Robert Pattinson’s rumors not getting any weaker, we’re lucky enough to witness even more twists and turns in the private lives of these young stars.
