Brooke Burke, David Charvet marry in St. Barths after 5-year engagement

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 08:57 AM PDT

We’ve only just discussed the day-long (not even that) engagement and marriage of Tara Reid and her Danish businessman boyfriend, and now here’s a celebrity marriage that finally happened after an extraordinarily (by some people’s standards) lengthy engagement period. After five years of being engaged (and two kids together), Brooke Burke and David Charvet have finally tied the knot. That seems like a long time, right? There are all sorts of celebrity couples who stay together without being engaged, but if you’re gonna bother to attach a prospective marital label to it, five years seems like a long time to wait. Not that I’m an expert on marriage by any stretch, of course.

According to Fame Pictures, the couple got hitched in St. Barths, France on a boat in a “small spontaneous ceremony.” Even though, you know, it couldn’t have been completely unplanned since the rings were present and accounted for already. After getting married, Brooke and David embarked upon their honeymoon, which is actually the same vacation that’s already taking place with their two children, 4-year-old daughter Heaven Rain and son Shaya Braven, plus Brooke’s two daughters from a previous marriage. Sounds romantic right? Maybe not.

Naturally, David and Brooke also gave exclusive news of their marriage to Life & Style as well:

Dancing With the Stars co-host Brooke Burke and former Baywatch star David Charvet said “I do” tonight in one of the most romantic ways possible: on a boat under the stars in St. Bart’s, Life & Style can exclusively reveal.

Joined by their children, the couple, both 39, made it official after being engaged for nearly five years. “We’re just at that place, where love is deep and meaningful, and we’re feeling very settled,” Brooke confided about their relationship last year.

After revving up their romance in 2005, the two became engaged in August 2006. “It was a total surprise,” Brooke has said about the night when David proposed to her. “It was all very romantic. He’s my best friend.”

This is the second marriage for Brooke, who was formerly married to Garth Fisher, the plastic surgeon on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. This is the first marriage for David. Congratulations to the happy couple!

And then there was the obligatory bikini photo-op:

Brooke and David are such an attractive couple, yes, and their kids are adorable too. Hopefully, they’ll make time for an actual one-on-one honeymoon in the near future instead of waiting another five years for the opportunity.

Did Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony split because of her ties to Scientology?

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 08:35 AM PDT

Much like Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Jennifer Lopez seems to have been flirting with the Church of Scientology for years now. Back in 2007 and 2008, she was giving interviews praising Scientology and using some of the language associated with CoS ("audit" and "tin can" I guess?). Considering that Jennifer is also supposed to be heavily into Santeria, no one really thought much of it, probably because no one really wanted to imagine Jennifer covered in hen's blood, praising the almighty Xenu. However, The Mail has a source who claims that Jennifer's Scientology connections might have been one of the major factors in her split with Marc Anthony:

While singer Marc Anthony has been described as a control freak following the breakdown of his marriage to Jennifer Lopez, I'm told there is another factor in their split.

J-Lo's commitment to Scientology was a bone of contention between the Hollywood star and her husband, and the couple, both 42, rowed over her wish to send their three-year-old twins, Max and Emme, to a Scientology school.

Jennifer is close friends with Tom Cruise and his wife Katie Holmes – also staunch Scientologists.

She said in a recent interview she 'wouldn't mind' having her twins educated by the church, adding: 'I just wish that people wouldn't judge it without knowing what it is.'

A source close to the couple said: 'Jennifer and Marc couldn't see eye-to-eye on the subject. She's always been more into the church than him. He wasn't a huge fan and it caused problems.'

[From The Mail]

What is Marc? Catholic? Something similar happened with Nicole Kidman, right? She was and is Catholic and some said that her family's faith is what always kept her at arm's length from CoS. Jennifer Lopez, meanwhile, seems to have only kept faith with Santeria and just added some Xenu on the side. I think Jennifer's… dad?… is a Scientologist too. That probably adds to the pressure that J.Lo feels to embrace Xenu.

Miley Cyrus is being mentioned for the ‘Dirty Dancing’ remake

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 08:08 AM PDT

Yesterday, there was a "swag party" event which drew out some celebrity women. Let's just say this: the swag party got a better turnout than the Do Something Awards. That speaks volumes. Some of the celebrities who there just to take home bags of free crap included Emma Roberts, Jamie Pressly, Kristen Bell, Cher (?!?!), Hailee Steinfeld and Zoe Saldana. And of course, Miley Cyrus, who looked clean and pretty and de-bloated. She's lost some weight, right? Or she just gave up the liquor on a regular basis.

Did you read Lainey's defense of Miley last week? I really enjoyed it, and I agree, although I tend to give Miley more of the benefit of the doubt than some. If you read her interviews and her Twitter feed, it's clear that while Miley isn't the most eloquent or mature young woman, she's trying. She's smarter than most of the young child stars, she's trying to take control of her own image, her own career, and move beyond the also-ran status of Disney stardom. She's keeping a lower profile for the most part this year, and she's back with Liam Hemsworth. It feels like she's making the effort to do some growing up outside of the public eye, and I do think she should be applauded for it. And quite honestly, if I'm given a choice between Miley and many of her contemporaries, like Emma Roberts, I'm going to choose Miley. She's more interesting, and she has more to say about everything.

However, I do have some bad news. Miley's name is being mentioned for the remake of Dirty Dancing. Like, Miley could play Baby. To, like, Justin Timberlake's Johnny Castle. Ugh. Go here to read about some of the casting rumors.

Halle Berry celebrates her 45th birthday on the beach, without Olivier Martinez

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 07:30 AM PDT

Halle Berry just celebrated her 45th birthday this weekend, and these are photos from her beach party celebration. Oddly enough, I haven't caught sight of Olivier Martinez in any of these photos of Halle's alleged "friends and family". Perhaps she didn't feel like bringing her hostage-boyfriend out to play. Or maybe he wasn't around to celebrate Halle's milestone birthday.

So, I'll give Halle credit for looking amazing. I have never looked this great in a bikini at any age, and Halle gets a slow clap for taking care of herself and for looking more than a decade younger than 45, and for achieving it through (mostly) natural methods. Has Halle had some nips and tucks? I believe she had a nose job when she was much younger, but other than that, I buy that her face is Botox and filler-free, and I think her Crazy keeps her young.

Most of the people at Halle's beach party seem to be women, but there are a handful of dudes there. Are they just Halle's people, like her hairstylist and stuff, or are these people whose livelihoods don't depend on Halle paying them? I don't know.

Nahla is a cutie, isn't she? I like when she gets a little attitude in photos - she has a funny, lovely little face, full of personality. I hope she gets more of her personality from her dad, don't you?

Demi Lovato, Kim Kardashian in white at awards show: who looks better?

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 07:06 AM PDT

Last night, the "Do Something" Awards were held in LA, and the biggest "gets" of the evening were Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato, Jane Lynch, and Justin Bieber (The Bieb didn't even walk the carpet). So… no offense to Jane, but the event wasn't really A-list or anything. Still, we do have some interesting photos of Demi and Kim posing together on the carpet. Now, go ahead and yell at me because I've never thought Demi was a really "fresh, pretty" looking girl. But doesn't she look amazing when she stands next to Kim Kardashian? Maybe that's the new thing - "How great do you look standing next to a Kardashian?" Because Demi looks gorgeous, fresh, natural, beautiful and adorable next to Kim's kat-face.

As for the actual fashion happening here… is it wrong that I like both of their dresses? Kim made a rare fashion hit with this long gown in an off-white, with a metallic belt, designer unknown. My only complaints about Kim's look are the shoulder pads (dated, unnecessary) and the fact that she's too dressy for this kind of event. As for Demi - some sites are talking about how her boobs are on display, but I think she looks really pretty and healthy. I do hope she's doing alright, because she looks great. Is it a bad sign that she's hanging with Kim Kardashian? Probably. But that's an issue for another time.

PS… I included some closeups of Kim's face just to emphasize the point that her face is officially a tragedy. She's ridiculous.

Angelina Jolie takes the older kids out to ‘Shrek the Musical’

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:56 AM PDT

The Empress! We've had so many sightings of The Empress lately. It's a good omen - Zahara's presence in England must have calmed down the rioters. Or maybe she just really likes England, probably because she carefully studies the British monarchy to prepare for her gradual global domination. God Save the Empress. Sidenote: I love her little fist. I feel like she's photographed making a fist often enough to say that Zahara can take care of herself. She may be girly and she may allow Shiloh to carry the "tomboy" torch, but something tells me that Zahara will cut a bitch who steps out of line.

Anyway, these are new photos of Angelina out with the four older kids on Sunday. She took Zahara, Shiloh, Maddox and Pax to a matinee of Shrek the Musical in London's West End. Brad's already gone, by the way, having abandoned his family once again for what's turning out to be a pretty long film shoot for World War Z. He's in Scotland now - I wonder why Angelina and the kids didn't go with him? Surely the Empress would have been the hit of Scotland.

By the way, look at the photos of this unknown child below. Who is it? I have a theory. It's FAX CANNES JOLIE-PITT!! He/she has been spotted! I was just looking at photos of the kids the other day, and I thought to myself, "Damn, it's been forever since Fax has been out and about." He/she is really getting big! (Sidenote: In case you don't remember, Fax Cannes "Mystery" Jolie-Pitt was my filler name for random Jolie-Pitt babies when I couldn't identify them, and then Mystery/Fax became a whole other mythological child, The Hidden Jolie-Pitt, the one that only makes an appearance every so often.) Seriously, though, who is this kid? I guess he's a friend of Maddox and/or Pax and/or Fax.

Pippa Middleton’s ass is made of lies, ass experts say

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:55 AM PDT

At some point, people really stopped caring about Pippa Middleton, right? Every media outlet was trying to make Pippa "happen" and then… nothing happened. Pippa continued to get pap'd everyday and women realized that she has skin damage and her style is pretty sketchy. Men woke and realized that while she has a cute little ass, it doesn't even make the top ten of most men's fantasy-ass lists. And I think everybody, men and women, realized that Pippa doesn't have her sister's reticence. Pippa wants to be famous. Pippa wants to be Uptradey. Pippa wants to get everything she can out of being associated with the royal family. And most people found that kind of gross.

So these are new photos of Pippa with her on-again boyfriend Alex Loudon. I haven't heard anything about Pippa with George Percy in a while - do you think his family was like, "Seriously, you could do much better than Uptradey"? So Pippa had to go back to Alex and she had to make it look like Alex was her choice all along. Alex was playing cricket, and since I don't know anything about anything involving cricket, I'm not even going to attempt to explain what's happening in these photos. Something cricket-y. By the way, how old does Pippa look? She and Kate both look and dress like they're well into their 40s.

In addition to that, there was/is a TLC special about Pippa, called "Crazy About Pippa". Perhaps the last-ditch effort to make Pippa "happen" in America, I guess. Anyway, their "experts" suggest that the early days of Pippa-mania may have begun under false pretenses. The experts think that Pippa was wearing butt-padding underneath her maid of honor gown! A random spa owner says, "I’m not convinced that it’s completely natural. Because I think, if you look at other photos of her and you see her in jeans, she’s got quite a flat bottom.” Could be.

Selena Gomez delivers a creepy “cougar” love declaration to Justin Bieber

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:45 AM PDT

So last week, we covered the rumor about Selena Gomez possibly dumping Justin Bieber over his friendship with Chris Brown as well as the disappointing revelation that these two were in fact still together. While this does nothing to dissuade near-universal fears about a Gomez-Bieber accidental pregnancy, here’s something else that might creep you out just a bit. It seems that, even before Selena and Justin got together, she had a major crush on the little guy; last year, she even described herself as a “cougar” for lusting over his weeness:

Even though she’s usually shy about proclaiming her affection for Justin, Selena gushed about him in a recent interview!

Selena Gomez always shows a lot of PDA with her boyfriend Justin Bieber, but in a newly-unearthed interview she gushes about her man - and even uses the l-word!

Selena, 19, gave an interview on Omaha radio station Channel 94.1 FM when the host played a clip of her her from 2010 - when Selena is RAVING about her man Justin, 17!

“That kid’s amazing,” she said. “I love Bieber so I could talk all about him all day. Everyone thinks I'm a cougar!”

When asked to comment on her words, Selena gave a totally cute answer.

“Nothing’s changed, apparently,” she said

[From Hollywood Life]

So Selena described Bieber as a “kid” and now (presumably in the past few days) has confirmed that she’s still feeling the same way about him. While this could be a lot creepier — their age difference is only two years — Selena’s still romancing a 17-year-old that, on his best days, looks like a 14-year-old boy at the very most. Of course, these two are now frequently joined at the lips and, uh, probably elsewhere. Am I overreacting to find this entire thing more than slightly creepy?

Did Selita Ebanks call Nick Cannon poorly endowed?

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:36 AM PDT

I’ve never heard an interview with model Selita Ebanks before. I know she was Kanye West’s muse for a while (and she still might be), I know she’s hooked up with some high profile guys including Gerard Butler (maybe), and Nick Cannon and I know her fashion is usually a miss. But other than that I don’t really know much about her, except that she has a banging figure and is gorgeous. Well Popeater’s Rob Shuter has a new interview with her, and all I could think after watching it was “what a bitch.” She doesn’t bother to be gracious at all when she volunteers that kissing Diddy (for Hawaii 5-O) wasn’t that great. Then when Shuter asks her about kissing Nick Cannon and if he had a nice d*ck she just says “eh” like she’s trying to be funny but really just can’t be bothered giving a diplomatic response. Here’s a link to the video.

So is that rude or was she just trying to be funny? If Shuter had asked first how it was to kiss Diddy and she said “eh” like that, I think it would be fine. As it is she just wants it to be known that it wasn’t tolerable to have to kiss him for a scene. Have you ever heard an actor or actress say that? Usually they either compliment the person or say that it was awkward because of the cameras, they don’t put down their co-star. Maybe Diddy hit on her though or was a jerk to her or something. As for an ex, wouldn’t you say “no comment” or “it was nice while it lasted” or something? It just seems bitchy.

It turns out that Selita sounds even worse in the extended interview. The title of this article is: “Selita Ebanks Talks Nick Cannon’s Tiny Male ‘Talent,‘” but they don’t back it up with any quotes where she says anything like that. I don’t think she actually called Nick’s member small and it seems like the title for the article is based on her saying “eh” over and over again. The rest of the stuff she’s quoted as saying sounds snotty.

Selita Ebanks Talks Nick Cannon’s Tiny Male ‘Talent’
Mariah Carey isn’t known for keeping secrets but one thing she has managed to keep under wraps are the intimate details of her husband’s privates — until now. Supermodel Selita Ebanks, who was engaged to the “America’s Got Talent” host in 2007, visited my HDNet talk show “Naughty But Nice Rob” and told all.

"I mean I technically wore a ring but I don't think I was really engaged,” Ebanks tells me of her relationship with Cannon. “I want a Prince. I want Prince Harry. Do you think the queen would accept me?"

And as far as kissing she gives Cannon a "meh" but was less enthusiastic about his other, most private asset giving it an even less passionate "meh."

Ebanks, who is now one of the top earning models in the industry, says she knew she was beautiful at just 6 years old. Sitting in front of her mother's vanity and catching a glimpse of herself she said, "Oh, I could make some money," and boy was she right. Now she's making millions, modeling Victoria Secret’s signature Angel wings — which she says protect her.

"Well if you're an angel those other bitches don't mess with you,” Ebanks dishes. “Behind the scenes you do hear snide remarks. I've heard girls literally talk about another girl in her face, and literally if she had claws she would be minced meat."

And although she says she doesn't judge other people, she does has some advice for larger ladies.

"Listen, I love voluptuous women, what bothers me is when they wear spandex. Don't wear spandex ladies if you are over size 16. Just because it comes in your size does not mean it's for you. As women we can wear whatever we want, be sexy but just know the difference, everything has a time and place."

[From Huffington Post]

Well, I guess I know I don’t like her now. Nice that she’s so concerned about how larger women look in spandex. Selita just wants to help people, she’s not at all like those models she mentioned who snark on and attack each other.

(Note: The newest photo of Selita is the one above where she went back to her dark hair color. She looks ridiculous with this two tone hair, below.)

Dolly Parton: “I never really had the desire to have children”

Posted: 15 Aug 2011 05:19 AM PDT

Dolly Parton, 65, has a new interview in The Mail to promote her latest album - her 41st! I love Dolly. Dolly is the exception to every rule. Dolly is grace and genius and hilarity, all with an enormous rack. I love her. Do not speak ill of Dolly. Do you know that the Dolly empire, including her song catalog and Dollywood, is worth nearly $1 billion? Did you know that people in the music industry refer to her as The Iron Butterfly? Did you know that she's awesome? The full Mail piece is here, and here are some highlights:

On her "cheap and gaudy" look: "A lot of people have said I’d have probably done better in my career if I hadn’t looked so cheap and gaudy. But I dress to be comfortable for me, and you shouldn’t be blamed because you want to look pretty. My husband likes me to look this way, and he’s the one I want to please."

On her 45-year marriage to Carl Dean, and the rumors that she's had affairs with "everyone from Sylvester Stallone and Burt Reynolds to Judy Ogle, her assistant and best friend": Dolly cannily likes to keep the speculation going. "I love to flirt, and I’ve never met a man I didn’t like. Men are my weakness. Short, fat, bald or skinny – I’ve had crushes on some very unusual men but Carl knows I’ll always come home and I’m not having sex with these people – I’m just flirtin’ and having fun. But that’s healthy. If I’m away I’ll say to my husband, 'You don’t mind if I fantasize about Keith Urban [Nicole Kidman's husband] tonight, do you?', and he doesn’t. He says he’d think less of any man who didn’t fall in love with me. But he really respects what I do and would hate to stand in the way of that. He always makes me feel pretty, even when I’m not. He’ll say, 'I like it when you wear your hair up high', and he even has clothes of mine in his closet that he’ll bring out once in a while and say, 'See if you can still get into this.' I love dressing up for him. I think Carl will always see me the way he did when we first met, just as I do him. We’ll never be old to each other."

More on Carl Dean: There is little photographic evidence of Mr Dean, who used to run an asphalt-laying company, leading to speculation that, like the Yeti, he may not even exist. "Oh, he exists," laughs Dolly, "it’s just he doesn’t really like to be with anybody but me. He loves staying home and working on the farm." With Dolly often on tour, is it a case of absence making the heart grow fonder? ‘I think so,’ she nods, ‘we’re never stuck in each other’s face. And any time we start getting a little testy with one another, I’ll say, “Don’t you need to go to the barn for a while?” – we know how to get out of each other’s way without being offensive to one another.’

Dolly gets the last laugh: ‘Some people didn’t think I was a class act because of my looks,’ she says. ‘But it didn’t take them long to find out they were wrong.’ She’s an astute businesswoman too, having founded her own theme park, Dollywood, a radio station, restaurants, and record and TV companies. She even has her own literacy programme, which distributes 2.5 million free books to children every year.

On being child-free: Dolly and her husband have never had children of their own, although she says, ‘I think I became more productive through not having children. I never really had the desire to have them. My husband didn’t want them either, so it worked out well.’ She had a partial hysterectomy in 1984, which led to weight gain and depression. ‘I’ve never been pregnant, so I just feel God didn’t mean for me to have kids, so that everybody else’s children could be mine,’ she adds. ‘But if I had had them, I think I’d have been a devoted mother. My songs are like my children – I expect them to support me when I’m old!’

The early days in male-dominated Nashville: ‘I grew up around lots of men – my father, my brothers, my uncles – so I wasn’t intimidated by them,’ says Dolly, ‘and feeling pretty and sexy actually empowered me. I got jumped on on occasion, but I always knew how to diffuse a situation without injuring their pride. I never slept with anybody to get ahead in my career. It didn’t take long for them to realize I wasn’t there to sell my body, but because my work was worthy. I’d say, “I have a gift and think I can make us both a lot of money – are you interested?”, and they usually were.’

On her high heels: Her ultra-femininity is incredibly appealing and one can’t help picturing her in her gym, working out in high heels. ‘I’m not that bad,’ she laughs. ‘I have tennis shoes with little rhinestones that I slip on if I exercise. But I always wear heels, even around the house. I’m such a short little thing, I can’t reach my kitchen cabinets.’

[From The Mail]

Another one-liner from Dolly - when asked how long it takes to do her hair, she says, "How do I know? I’m never there!" Oh, and she refers to her boobs as "showdogs" which is awesome. I need to start calling my boobs "showdogs".

As far as the "rumors" that Dolly has nailed various celebrity men…? I don't know. Burt Reynolds bedded lots of high-profile women back in the day, but I don't know if Dolly would have been one of them. And Stallone? Puh-lease. I really hope she didn't go near him. Not that I would begrudge her an affair - I wouldn't. I just hope that if she did fool around with someone, it was someone really hot. Like, Robert Redford or something.
