And if it were only time this new habit of hers was eating up. Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch Winehouse, is once more worried that the troubled singer has replaced her drug addiction with something probably just as damaging: shoe shopping. This is what Mitch Winehouse related about Amy Winehouse’s new habit: “Amy has blown stupid amounts on shoes, she’s replaced her drug addiction with a shopping addiction. She bought 20 pairs of designer shoes in one afternoon. I returned them all to Selfridges. She’d never wear them, she has two rooms full of un-opened, unworn shoes, it’s ridiculous, such a waste.” This is probably just Amy Winehouse’s way of showing everybody how much she hates the world because Blake Fielder-Civil isn’t coming to Jamaica with her. Well, there’s only one way to deal with a stubborn child… just keep on returning them shoes there daddy.
Spiderman star Tobey Maguire says it is ‘challenging’ to juggle a film career and time with his family.
Maguire, 36, became a dad for the second time last year when his wife Jennifer Meyer gave birth to their son Otis. The couple also have a three-year-old daughter Ruby.
Talking about new flick Brothers, he told The Boston Globe: “You’re working on the movie 12 to 14 hours a day, and then going home and preparing for the next day, memorising lines, reflecting on what you did, and thinking about what you have to do the next day.
“It wasn’t easy. Put it this way, my wife told me I wasn’t much fun to be around for those few months.”
Maguire added that the intensity of filming can sometimes be tough when you have a young family.
He said: “It’s always challenging. It does create tension [in the relationship]. But my wife, she understands, and we both do the best we can to get through those experiences.”
The singer recently made even more unveilings as to the nature of her relationship with her father and why they became more and more distanced from each other. Rihanna related the following about how her father reacted after the incident with Chris Brown:
“He kind of did something that was really upsetting. He turned his back on me and went to the media. He got paid to talk about stuff – all these little interviews he was doing after the whole situation in February. I hadn’t spoken to him and he was speaking as though we did. It was so disappointing to me.” Well, well… isn’t this an interesting new story for Rihanna to tell her grandchildren. Why now? Wouldn’t it just have been better for Rihanna to leave this in the shadows… doubtfully coming clean now will solve anything. But as for making matters worse… well, now there’s a possibility!
Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine will remain the temporary administrator of his estate until next week, a judge has ruled.
Katherine’s lawyers got an order giving her temporary control of the estate earlier this week, based on her belief that Jackson left no will.
But they had to return to court in Los Angeles on Wednesday, after the singer’s will was filed.
The named executors of the will – lawyer John Branca and music executive John McClain – have said they want to make sure they have control over the assets and asked a judge to nullify Katherine’s power to move the late superstar’s assets around, even on a temporary basis.
But the judge has decided not to make any change to the original order before a hearing on Monday.
There is not believed to be any conflict between Katherine and the new executors.

Christina Aguilera got an unusual Mother’s Day gift this year. Her husband Jordan Bratman apparently gave the powerhouse singer a Stephen Webster locket containing a drop of blood to celebrate her first Mother’s Day with their son Max. The locket is said to be one of her favorite accessories. It consists of a ruby hear with a diamond sword going through it, and a small drop of blood. The inside opens up to a photo of Max. In an interview with InStyle, the singer doesn’t reveal whose blood it is but does say “I love the symbolism of the blood droplet. It’s like Max pierced my heart.
It’s been barely a month or two since Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds got married but they are all set to start expanding their family and the two are looking for the best time for Scarlett to conceive.
The rumor mill on this is so strong that sign indicate that such a process might start by the end of November end. The couple is madly in love and they would not want to lose time on sharing all that there is to do together.
Scarlett is very keen on being a young mom and isn’t of the thought the having kids is something which can be done later in life and then have to start worrying about her biological clock ticking.
There is another grape wine that says the couple is also thinking on the lines of adopting a child. Well personally I think she would love to give birth to her first child.
Spears’ 2-year old son, Jayden, had his first hospitalization this week-end, apparently due to a nasty allergic reaction. Sources close to Britney Spears state that the child is doing fine now. Apparently, he got sick while participating on a visit to Britney’s family and was rushed to the hospital. Now, one must ask, what in the world could the poor child have had such a nasty allergic reaction to… might have been all the loving atmosphere around him. Also, Britney Spears and her mother spent Sunday night with him at the hospital, but that couldn’t have helped much, either.
Ashlee Simpson Wentz and rocker husband Pete Wentz are expecting a baby later this fall. That’s not going to be the only addition to their home though as they are expecting Ashlee’s mom Tina too. According to Life & Style, Tina Simpson will be moving into the couple’s household. A family friend told the mag “Her mom, Tina, is going to move in with them for a few days, maybe even a few weeks, to help out after Ash gives birth.” When asked just how Pete felt about it, the source said “He’s totally cool with it. They get along really well. He’ll probably have his own family in and out, so it’s all good.”
Looks like nobody believed her sorry excuse that it was all a misunderstanding.
Hayden Panettiere’s father is now facing misdemeanor battery chargers after getting in a drunken fight with his wife in August.
She claims it was “misunderstanding.” Just like the second season of Heroes! T
The Associated Press reports:
Alan Panettiere faces up to a year in a Los Angeles County jail if convicted. He was arrested on Aug. 11 on suspicion of striking his wife, Lesley.
At the time, a sheriff’s spokesman said Panettiere was accused of hitting his wife three times with an open hand.
No matter who you are, no matter where you’re from (this sounds like a backstreet boys song I know), you CAN NEVER EVER HIT A WOMAN.
I’m just sayin’
Sophie Ellis-Bextor is desperate for more children. The ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ singer – who already has a four-year-old son Sonny with husband Richard Jones – would love to extend her family but is too busy concentrating on her career.
She said: “I’d love to have more children but I’m just really tied up with work at the moment so now’s not really a good time. My album’s out in September so maybe after that. I love spending time with Sonny and luckily I can fit a lot of my work round him. He’ll start school either this September or next so I’ll have a bit more free time then.”
Sophie was speaking after she had performed a set at the launch of new summer drink Martini Rosato, at London’s exclusive Kensington Roof Gardens. The bash was hosted by Australian beauty Natalie Imbruglia, who seemed to enjoy Sophie’s performance and at one point playfully pushed a fellow partygoer onto the dance floor, on which the young girl happily showed off her best moves.
Although Natalie – who looked stunning in a knee-length cream dress – refrained from joining the reveler on the dance floor she couldn’t help but bop along to Sophie’s songs while watching at the front of the crowd.
Jack Black’s wife has given birth to the couple’s second son. According to reports, musician Tanya Hayden gave birth to Jack Jnr. just over a week ago.
The ‘School of Rock’ actor confirmed the news to reporters at the premiere of his new movie, ‘Kung Fu Panda’ on Saturday.
Describing the baby as ‘fresh out of the oven,’ Jack said: “I have a new one. It’s eating every three hours.” The busy star admitted it can be difficult to find time to spend with his family, saying: “You just got to make all the time precious with the babies when you’re working. You get an hour in the morning, and an hour at night, and you really make the most of that time.”
Jack and Tanya already have a 23-month-old son, Samuel. They have been married for two years.
The actor was responsible for forcing Angelina Jolie to confirm she is expecting twins after letting the news slip during a recent joint interview to promote ‘Kung Fu Panda’.
Troubled Britney Spears’ family are to force her to quit LA and return to Louisiana.
Her dad Jamie Spears, who was recently granted control of her affairs, plans to take her back to the family home away from “bad influences”. He will file a court request to get Britney, 26, away from the clubs, drugs, and cheating ex-lover Adnan Ghalib.
A Spears family source said: “Britney has been feeling lonely and isolated since her dad has taken control of her life. He hopes to take her back to Louisiana where she will be surrounded by her family. Jamie also hopes it will give her the chance to mend her troubled relationship with her mum and her more recent rift with her pregnant sister. And he hopes to keep her away from the negative LA scene and people who’ve been using her.”
In recent weeks the star has made a good recovery. She has remained off drugs and has been working on her next music video. But her affairs will still be run by her dad and she is unable to see former manager Sam Lufti who has been issued with a restraining order.
Britney still faces a driving without a licence charge in LA after being nabbed last August.
Finally – someone who might actually be looking out for Britney’s best interests has control. Her father was given conservatorship over her.
The first thing he did? He took a restraining order out on Sam Lufti to keep him far away from the ailing pop star. Apparently her family thinks he’s a threat to her health and wellbeing.
This court appointment does not mean they can force Brit to start medication. Her father can discuss options with doctors but Britney will have the power to refuse. Her father has control over her finances for the time being as well.
Maybe this is a step in the right direction for Britney.
After having Britney hospitalized again last night, Lynnr Spears has decided that Hollywood is not the place for her daughter to get better. She wants to take her home to Louisiana.
Britney’s lawyer Michael Flanagan says, “Lynne is extremely concerned for her daughter and would like to take Britney back home to Louisiana and get her out of Hollywood. Brit has an amazing support system in Louisiana.” He added that Lynne feels her daughter cannot get better if she is not removed from the circle of friends she currently has.
Janis Winehouse, the mother of British pop wreck Amy Winehouse, recently spoke to the Sunday Mirror about her daughter. She said “I’ve known for a long time that my daughter has problems. But seeing it on screen rammed it home. I realize my daughter could be dead within the year. We’re watching her kill herself, slowly. I’ve already come to terms with her dead. I’ve steeled myself to ask her what ground she wants to be buried in, which cemetery. Because the drugs will get her if she stays on this road. She’s invited me to the Grammy awards next month, but part of me thinks she won’t be alive by then. I look at Heath Ledger and Britney. She’s on their path. It’s like watching a car crash – this person throwing all these gifts away.”
Congratulations to Nicole Richie and Joel Madden! They are now the proud parents of a bouncing baby girl who they chose to call Harlow Winter Kate Madden. Little Harlow was born on Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and weighed in at 6 lbs., 7 oz. She’s pretty much music royalty for being the granddaughter of Lionel Richie and the daughter of the Good Charlotte front man.
The couple’s reps at Handprint Entertainment told People that “The beautiful healthy baby girl is home with her ecstatic parents.” I can’t wait to see that family picture. I wonder who the little one looks like.
Lily Allen is on the cover of the latest issue of Marie Claire. The 22-year old singer was actually pregnant during the time of the November photo shoot but she was still unaware at the time so it’s pretty ironic that she got asked about having kids.
In the Marie Claire interview, she said “I want to have a child. If I was in the right relationship, I’d like to have child in about two or three years’ time. I’d like to be a young mother, although not too young, and I’d like to be able to live in a nice place that’s got a good catchment area for the schools. And that’s all I care about. That’s all you need.”
The surgeon who operated on Kanye West’s mother Donda was due to be suspended by the American Board of Plastic Surgery because of his multiple convictions for driving under the influence.It seems so ironic that so many stars loose loved ones tragically after they attain great success and wealth. It is almost scary to achieve fame for fear someone you love dies. Examples: Bill Cosby, Mary Wilson, Smokey Robinson, Ron Glass, Eric Clapton, Dean Martin, Mary Tyler Moore, Carrol O’Connor, Marlon Brando and many others. I feel very very sad for Kanye West… as my son and I are close. My son is a rapper who worked/works very hard that did not make it big and maybe he is the lucky one after all. God bless Kanye and his mother. On the fact that the surgeon was going to be removed doesn’t make sense now, only that if can be removed with immediate effect then if might help in saving some lives of patients who would be thinking of going under the knife with him at the helm of affairs.
Christina Aguilera has finally confirmed reports she is expecting a baby with husband Jordan Bratman. The singer has previously refused to comment on the status of her bulging belly, despite her father Fausto Aguilera and her pal Paris Hilton letting slip about the 26-year-old’s happy news earlier this year. Hey like why does she have to confirm the known and the obvious to the world now? Tell you guys, don’t get me wrong on this or anything but I think she has been paid something quite handsome to come out and confirm something she hasn’t done before about her pregnancy. Glamour must have put up a nice deal for her to speak exclusively to them. I am not going to go out and criticize her for what she has done. It’s her baby, her life and her will as when she wants to speak about a particular thing and what she doesn’t want to, it’s entirely her decision. Now there’s one more singer – Jennifer Lopez who is hiding the truth about her pregnancy, let’s see when she decides to speak.
