John Travolta and wife Kelly Preston welcomed baby Benjamin into their family last November.
Hello! features pictures of the happy family and quotes Travolta as saying, “For us it’s been uplifting. Especially when he smiles at me and seems contented in my arms. He’s given the house a renewed spirit and purpose.”
Congrats John and Kelly!
When I first heard that Justin Bieber is launching a line of nail polish, I KNEW it would be a success, despite the obvious: What would a 16-year-old boy know about nail polish?
A Wal-Mart rep said: “The call center in Bentonville was flooded and flooded with calls with people wanting to know where they could get the nail polish. We just couldn’t keep up.”
Russell Brand has been named the “Fun Fearless Male of the Year” by Cosmopolitan and, so, he graces the cover of next month’s issue. In the interview for the cover, Brand talks about marriage to Katy Perry, when he knew he was in love, and his new Cosmo accolade!
On his marriage with Katy Perry:
“It’s amazing! Once you’ve said those things about commitment, you think, Well, it doesn’t matter if we have some disagreement about what should go where in the fridge. You’re married now, so you’ll just have to deal.”
On when he fell in love:
“Well, she threw a bottle at my head when we first met, and she’s been doing that in some form or another ever since. The woman I fell in love with is constantly evolving and changing. She’s loving and a beautiful person.”
On the most fun and fearless thing he’s ever done:
“It’s pretty wild that I’m going to spend the rest of my life with Katy.”
On his new Cosmo accolade:
“So long as there’s time, I’d like to be the fun and fearless male of that time. … Fun and fearless are what are going to define the upcoming decade for me.”
Mark Wahlberg admits he used to like smoking weed but gave it all up for his kids.
“One day, we were driving and you could smell it from somewhere. My daughter asked what the smell was so I told her it was a skunk. Then she said, ‘Sometimes daddy smells like that!’ to me and my wife. So I knew I had to quit.”
Tuesday, January 11, 2011, The Grove, Los Angeles, CA. Mario Lopez of Extra was lucky enough to live out many a men’s (and a few women’s) fantasy today and drive the Green Hornet car.
Green Hornet, starring Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, and Jay Chou opens in theaters, January 14th.
Roseanne Barr was at Barnes & Noble at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA Monday night to promote her new book, Roseannearchy: Dispatches from the Nut Farm
I will let Sandra Bernhard’s review stand for the book as I have yet to read it: “Roseanne is funny, everybody knows that. But then there is everything else—the humanity, rabbinical wisdom, Mother Earth fearlessness, true beauty, and the ability to stay one step ahead of insanity at all times. She’s always had her finger on the pulse and can tell when the patient needs some emergency care. Nurse Barr has saved us once again.”
Not having read the book, the adjectives Sandra uses seem to nail my perception of Roseanne right on the head. First off, Roseanne looked fabulous in person. I asked her what her beauty secret is and without missing a step, she said: “Lots of drinking.” Roseanne also was funny, warm, soft spoken and gentle. She was witty and quick and sharp. She had the whole room fall in love with her; that is, if they weren’t already in love with her before their arrival.
Someone asked Roseanne if she would run for president one day. She gave an emphatic “Yes!” She followed by saying she would run for the president of the United States and the prime minister of Israel at the same time. “It’d be a 2fer!” Her campaign promise? “I would establish world peace within 30 days of being elected because I would know how to!” Of course, she would have her own party affiliation: The Green Tea Party.
Roseanne, a blogger since 1996 when no one else was blogging named Snooki as her favorite author – funny thing, Snooki was the last author who held a book signing at Barnes & Noble right before Roseanne’s gig. She actually then said her favorite book is a Tale of Two Cities and her fave author is Mary Daly. Sorry Snooki!

Big Brother may have to soup up its contestant screening process because more and more of its former stars keep finding themselves in serious legal trouble after starring on the show.

Yes, you read that correctly. And, if that were not bad enough, TMZ reports that all of Jasinski’s $500,000 winnings (yes, every penny since Jasinski also failed to pay taxes on his winnings) were infused into the massive illegal operation.

This isn’t even McDonald’s first sign of trouble with the law. He was arrested in April of last year for threatening to harm family members of his fiancee and accused of domestic violence against the fiance who was pregnant at the time of the alleged abuse.
As a long-time fan of the show, I am glad to see Big Brother winnings going to such great causes. Of course I jest. I think I need a shower after finding out about all of this…

Neither of these guys sound like a ‘Big Brother’ we’d like to have.
Janet Jackson is bringing her “Number Ones, Up Close and Personal” tour to a city near you…in the United States (well, one show in Canada…)
“These concerts will be different from anything I have ever done,” Jackson says. “I will be as up close and personal as possible. These concerts are not about special effects. This is a love affair between me and those of you who have supported me and my work for all these years. I’ll be singing and dancing from my heart.”
Here are the dates/venues so far:
