dirty laundry is one month old!

j lo-veless?

it looks like soon to be once again movie star jennifer lopez may be looking for romance in more than just her films.  reports are surfacing that lopez and husband (and baby daddy) marc anthony are headed down the road to divorce.  lopez was recently spotted at the curious case of benjamin button premiere sans her big ol' ring and anthony was spotted all over vegas partying it up without his.  the problems in the marriage seem to be from control issues - lopez is an "independent" who doesn't like to be told what to do and does everything with purpose; anthony is apparently very controlling, monitoring what jennifer says and wears...if you haven't noticed, we have not seen the infamou

s lopez booty in quite some time.  

stephanie tanner's officially empty house

full house star jodie sweetin's life has taken a page from the britney spears handbook on life.  the former child actress has lost custody of her 8 month old daughter and can only see her with supervised visits.  sweetin's soon to be ex cody herpin currently holds custody and was the one to bring allegations of neglectful and unfit parenting into court.  one example herpin gave was of jodie driving under the influence with the child in the car. this is a major problem as sweetin is a recovering meth addict and alcoholic (but she is in touch with her aa sponsor).  as the divorce proceedings press on, sweetin and herpin have been asked t

o take drug tests...

britney's back. now how about kelly?

kelly clarkson is well on her way to regaining her pop princess crown.  the first american idol will be releasing a song, entitled "my life would suck without you," sometime in the next weeks, with the music video already in production.  the track is produced by the minds behind britney, katy perry, and pink's latest efforts - all of which have been radio and fan friendly.   kelly is in desperate need of a hit, after the turmoil and failure of her last album, my december, which couldn't produce even one hit.  the new album is said to be much more true to the singer's pop roots, with a sound closer to her biggest seller, breakaway.  clarkson has most recently been touring on the "two voices" tour with reba mcentire, with whom she shares a manager (reba's husband). 

batman's new stars

warner bros and franchise director christopher nolan have apparently hand picked a variety of famous actors to fill the shoes of some major characters in the batman saga for the third film starring christian bale.  according to british reports (so we'll see how accurate this all is), eddie murphy will take on the villainous role of the riddler.  batman will also get his boyish sidekick in the threequel, with shia labeouf taking the role of robin.  the studio is also trying to get rachel weisz to take the role of catwoman.  this all seems well-and-good (with the exception of eddie murphy), but i'm doubtful any of it will happen.  this seems to be quite the random assortment of actors and a "whos-who" wishlist...

update: ruffalo death

mark ruffalo's brother's death has been ruled a homicide by the coroner, throwing out the idea that he died of a russian roulette related injury...seems pretty shady to me. 

just a thought...

marking a month here, i've decided to add this new bulletin.  my first thought is "is it just me, or is jen aniston everyw

ere??" the star seems to be on every single magazine cover lately.  i know she's in a new movie (marley and me) and all, but seriously? i'm also surprised the mags haven't made a bigger deal out of aniston's film heading to the box office the same day as brad pitt's benjamin button.  the two films are set to hit theaters on christmas day and both are expected to be big...who will win will just have to be seen. 

day 22

ruffalo bro dies at 39

mark ruffalo, the well known romcom actor, and his family, are mourning the death of mark's brother scott today. scott died today from a gunshot wound to the head he suffered last week.  and, with the news of his death, news of how scott was shot has come out today.  scott was allegedly a chronic cocaine abuser and played russian roulette on a regular basis. on the night of his shooting, scott apparently lost his last game of the deadly game, shooting himself.  at least this is what the woman who was arrested, shaha mishaal adham, and charged with the murder is hoping the general public will believe.  this so called "friend," through her lawyer, has said she was simply picking up some keys at the time of the shooting.  however, if adham really was a friend, wouldn't she have wanted to help ruffalo in some way? why would you want someone to continue down that kind of path? i don't know, but this sounds all sorts of shady to me.  

hudson heads back to the hollyhood

jennifer hudson, after being in hiding since her family's deaths in october, is heading back to work.  the american idol alum is set to shoot the video for her next single, "if it isn't love," over the next couple of days in los angeles.  originally, hudson was to begin shooting around the time of her mother, brother, and nephew's tragic deaths; however, under such circumstances, her label postponed the shoot.  click here to listen to the song.  hudson was recently nominated for four grammys, including one for grammy for best r&b record for jennifer hudson.  

new moon gets some direction

summit entertainment is in talks for chris weitz to helm the twilight sequel, new moon.  weitz is known for his work on american pie, as well as directing about a boy and the golden compass.  his work on the latter is apparently what grabbed the studio's attention, as it is a fantasy adventure in a series. but, since the compass series never took off, and the twilight series is already established as a hit, weitz looks to be the studio's new golden boy.  another possible option would be to bring catherine hardwicke back to direct the third and have weitz do the fourth.  as hardwicke wants more time to develop her next project, the time it would take to make the second film plus the time in between the releases, would giver her plenty of time to develop eclipse.  

big changes coming to grey's?

tr knight, who plays new resident george on the hit abc show grey's anatomy, is apparently trying to get out of his contract.  sounds like some very katherine heigl-esque behavior.  too bad tr doesn't have a movie career to fall back on if he gets out of his contract.  the actor has apparently been unhappy on set since the isiah washington scandal last season, in which washington called knight a slur of homophobic slurs.  while knight's spokesperson has denied the rumors, fans of the show have noticed his absence in recent storylines; allegedly, the writers of the show have been minimizing his screen time because of his diva antics on set.  

day 16

setting the circus bar high

britney spears's new music video, "circus," has leaked online today.  click here to watch it.  if this is anything like what her tour will be, i think concert-goers will be pleased.  the only thing i don't understand is why the choreography looks so good on film and somewhat sloppy in person.  i guess it could be editing, or that brit's more comfortable in the confines of a studio.  who knows? the music video could also possibly be turned into a spears fragrance ad, as her perfume curious is featured in the opening moments.  overall, the production value is good, but i still prefer the concept and styling of "womanizer" better. 

aniston entertains

jennifer aniston hits the latest cover of entertainment weekly to discuss her new movie, marley and me, which hits theaters on christmas day.  aniston addresses a lot of issues in the issue, including babies and brangelina.  she finds all the baby rumors surrounding her funny, but annoying ; "it's almost going to take away the fun from actually being able to say one day, 'i'm pregnant!" says the star.  and, as for the woman that broke up her marriage to mr. pitt, aniston says vogue blew her comment ("what angelina did was very uncool") out of proportion and that the move was very tabloid, but she's not holding a grudge.  now only if aniston would drop john mayer and get pregnant with someone she can actually start a family with...maybe someone her own age? hollywood doesn't need another cougar.  

more montag mag dramz

the new issue of us weekly features heidi montag's mother talking about how disappointed she is in the life track her daughter has chosen to take.  darlene montag thinks spencer is taking over heidi's life and said she wouldn't even be surprised if he had drugged her in mexico in order to marry her.  darlene's last straw with her daughter was heidi's skipping out on family thanksgiving in colorado this year in order to spend time with spencer in mexico.  darlene is confident the marriage won't work out.  i'm a little skeptical though; why would us play both sides of this story? wouldn't that make speidi annoyed at the tab? i would venture to guess darlene's cover story was part of the deal to put heidi and spencer on last week's cover.

sad news

mark ruffalo, a staple of romcoms like 13 going on 30 and just like heaven, and his family are standing by the bedside of mark's brother, scott, who was shot in the head earlier this week in hollywood.  not much is known about the shooting and an investigation is underway.
