Sad, It's Over For Katie

Sassy Smith — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:05:00 GMT

Katie has come to realize there is no saving her marriage. The divorce will most likely be quite fast - completed in about six weeks.

Katie Price - or Jordan, as she's often called - has given up the fight to save her marriage to estranged husband Peter Andre. She's agreed to a quickie divorce.

A friend said, "This has been a landmark couple of days for Katie. It's sad, but she's given up the fight.

"She now accepts she’s never getting Peter back and is ready to move on with her life. It hasn’t been easy but she knows it’s necessary to enable her to eventually get on with things.

"The last five days have completely changed her frame of mind. She’s gone from refusing to consider the possibility of divorce to agreeing it’s a necessity.

"She doesn’t want it dragging on and has decided that if this is what Peter really wants then that’s what he’s going to get.

"It’s still incredibly emotional for her and she feels under constant attack but she knows this is what has to happen.”

"Peter," added the source, "has been more emotional this week than at at any time so far. The reality has kicked in and as a result he’s hit rock bottom.

"I’ve never seen him like this before. He’s a mess. The meetings with the lawyers hit him really hard. He came out afterward and just broke down.

"It was the utter realization that his family life is never going to be the same. Everything he held so dear is now gone."

How sad for them but also for their three children (two together and Jordan's son Harvey from her previous relationship). Let's hope they at least make this amicable for the sake of those precious kids!

Katie Confesses: I Love Another Man

Sassy Smith — Tue, 19 May 2009 11:03:00 GMT

Katie says she's in love with another man. Her children mean the world to her, so it wasn't an easy decision to make the split and break up their family.

Katie Price and husband Peter Andre announced their split last week and both apparently have their own reasons for their break up.

Peter claims he can't take Katie's "alter-ego" Jordan and her drinking binges. Katie says she's fallen for another man.

The glamor model confessed to BBC Apprentice TV star Mona Lewis a few weeks ago, saying, "I'm in love with another man. Me and Pete are splitting up... I've fallen for someone else."

Price even took off her wedding band and said to Mona, "Have it. It mean's f*** all to me."

Mona said, "Katie said she wanted this new man, but also her family life with Peter Andre. She said her children meant the world to her, but she didn’t love Peter and was totally dismissive of him."

Insiders believe Katie has feelings for stable owner Andrew Gould, although nothing has happened between them.

Mona claims Katie spoke to her in a bar about her marriage falling apart. "She started telling me about her marriage and my jaw just dropped. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"I went up to ask her for a photo and next thing she was telling me her marital problems. We're both mums so we started talking about our kids.

"Then Katie said to me, 'I may as well tell you that me and Pete are splitting up.'"

Katie also admitted her sex life with Pete has been less than satisfactory. Mona said, "Katie told me she wasn't enjoying their sex life. She said to me 'Pete's become really boring in bed. I don't find sex with him exciting any more.'

"She was saying 'I really miss sex with Dwight' (her ex and father to Katie's oldest son Harvey)."

Mona added the sex talk went on for a while but then Katie switched gears and said she tried her best to keep it together for the sake of their kids, but it just wasn't working.

Katie and Peter are parents to Harvey, 7, Junior, 3, and Princess Tiaamii, 21 months.

Can these two work it out? Or is it really over?

M.I.A.'s Son Ikhyd Will Inherit $8 Billion!

Sassy Smith — Sat, 16 May 2009 12:06:00 GMT

M.I.A.'s infant son, Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman , 3 months, is going to be one rich little dude - he'll inherit nearly $8 billion! Eight billion dollars - can you even imagine?

M.I.A.'s fiance and father to Ikhyd, Benjamin Bronfman, 26, is set to inherit the massive amount of money and it will be passed down to the couple's son at some point.

The fortune was accumulated by Benjamin's family, who are owners of a now defunct Seagram company - once the largest distiller of alcoholic beverages in the world.

A source said the Paper Planes singer doesn't "really care about the money. But it helps." Uh, yes, eight billion clams will probably come in handy!

Although M.I.A. and Benjamin are not married, that won't make a difference in their son inheriting the money and assets.

"They will do the marriage thing when time permits."

New Details On Katie Price & Peter Andre Split (PHOTOS)

Sassy Smith — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:07:00 GMT

Reality TV personalities, glamour model Katie Price (AKA Jordan) and singer Peter Andre, announced, through a rep, that they have ended their nearly four year marriage. The couple have two children together (Katie has older son Harvey with soccer star Dwight Yorke) and were apparently going to try for another in the next few months. However, new details have emerged as to what may have caused the split. Katie is said to be "devastated," but Peter, fed up with Katie's drinking, couldn't take it anymore.

More pics after the jump

Peter, 36, was "furious" at photos in the Sun of his wife drunk, with a mystery man, as she flaunted her considerable assets. He said, "She's out of control.

"I'm not jealous of anybody until Katie is drunk. There's nobody I feel threatened by when she's sober. But if she's drinking I know she's capable of anything. The devil gets inside her and she's a nightmare. I trust her when she's sober but I don't trust her when she's drinking."

Andre told a pal, "I’ve been so unhappy. Katie has everything she could ever want — look at our beautiful children. She’s got a multi-million pound career and a dream home. But it's like she is insistent on pressing the self-destruct button.

"She is the most lovely woman when she is being just herself and I will always love her. But in the end, it all got too much to handle."

We've seen Katie's photos a few times in the mags, looking quite sloshed and out of control - sounds like she could have a serious drinking problem. She may want to seek treatment, especially since she's a mom of three - her kids need her!

Peter does not like his wife's "Jordan" alter-ego. He said, "It makes our relationship vulnerable."

He continued, "From the moment she starts drinking I lose her and I don’t get her back until the next morning. Kate’s had problems with drink. She knows she can’t handle it. It turns her into someone I don’t recognise and I don’t like.

"Often she forgets I’m even there. She becomes a completely different person and I have to keep my eye on her at all times. She really goes for it. She can't just have one or two -- she doesn't know when to stop. And she's so tiny she can't take it.

"When I’ve confronted Kate about her drinking it turned into massive rows. I’m not asking her never to have a drink again. I’d just rather she didn’t have ten." It must be so difficult living with someone with an addiction problem.

Katie, who apparently left London with their kids, said, "Pete is my life. This is not what I want." She wept for hours after the breakup and said, "We have children together and I am devastated and disappointed by Peter's decision to separate and divorce me -- as I married him for life."

Price has said she will not comment further or grant any interviews about their split, but said, "I will always love my Pete."

The couple have a $60 million-plus joint fortune, so this could get messy. As mentioned earlier, Katie is mom to Harvey, 7 and she and Peter are parents to Junior, 3, and Princess Tiaamii, 21 months.

M.I.A.'s Post Baby Body!

Sassy Smith — Fri, 08 May 2009 15:11:00 GMT

Singer M.I.A. welcomed her first child - son Ikhyd Edgar Arular Bronfman - almost three months ago, and she made a recent appearance at the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala. I must say, she was looking awesome!

We got a sneak peek at her baby boy as she and fiance, The Exit singer and guitarist, Benjamin Brewer walked through LAX. That baby is gorgeous!

M.I.A. recently performed at Coachella, and during her set, she said to the crowd, "Can we get some order in the place? My baby's waiting!"

She might still love performing but now that she's a mom, baby comes first!

Smith Pregnant on Coronation Street

Whit Honea — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 13:27:00 GMT

Just when you thought it was safe to drink the water over at "Coronation Street" we have another pregnancy! That's nine in the past yearish. That's a lot, right?

The latest is Samia Smith who is pregnant with her first child.

Smith lost her father last week, which must be quite the emotional roller-coaster. Said Smith, “I am so pleased that we were able to tell my dad about the baby before he died."

Our thoughts and congratulations to Samia and her husband Matt.

Hugh Laurie Says "My Children are Perfect"

Karl Erikson — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 14:37:00 GMT

As a dad, House star Hugh Laurie keeps his family cards played pretty close to the vest, choosing to keep his private life private. He's married to wife Jo Green and together the couple have 3 children - Charles, 20, Bill, 18, and Rebecca Augusta, 15.

But Hugh, 49, talked proudly about his family to Parade magazine. "I'll tell you the one extreme pleasure I admit to - praising them," Hugh said. "My children are actually perfect."

And they're much different than Dad, too. The children are "well aware" of Dad's "peculiar ways, and they're happy they haven't picked up Hugh's "dreary outlook."

"My children put up with me," he said. "For them, I am a cautionary tale. They look at me and say, 'The hell with it. I'm not going to live that way.' Good for them."

Katie Price Skanks Up Kids' Clothing Line Launch (Photos)

Sassy Smith — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 14:06:00 GMT

Surprise! Leave it to Katie Price aka Jordan, reality TV star and glamour model, to dress inappropriately while promoting her new clothing line for children - KP Equestrian collection. Seriously, she couldn't find a more suitable outfit for the occasion?

Couple more pics after the jump

Katie said her entire line was influenced and inspired by her love for horses and horse riding. Most designers of equestrian attire, use browns and tweeds, but not Price!

She said, "All you see is bland tweeds and browns - bland colors I wouldn't wear." So, she decided a colorful kiddie range would be perfect. "I thought 'why not bring some color into it?' You don't have to be into horses to wear it. I know that Princess [her daughter] likes anything that sparkles. I just thought, for the girls, I will do it glitzy."

Would it have killed her to zip up her hoodie and put a pair of pants on? Is it legal for those children to be posing with someone dressed like that? Oh, and those socks with the shoes...

Hey kids, do not take fashion advice from Katie. Ever.

Kerry Katona: Mom Of 4 Hooked On Cocaine!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 12:06:00 GMT

Former Atomic Kitten singer Kerry Katona is reportedly so addicted to drugs, she can't function without them. She and husband Mark Croft are struggling to keep their marriage together and this has added to Katona's stress. Kerry is also a mother of four - and who is caring for the children while she's high?

According to sources, Katona binges on cocaine, amphetamines and anti-depressants to help her handle the stresses of her life, including her fragile marriage. She told pals that cocaine is the "only way I can function. It's the only way I can get this sorted."

She's snorted so much cocaine, she now has a hole in her nose. A source said, "Kerry is completely addicted to drugs. It is worse than ever and she is close to the edge. She takes them all day every day. She simply can't cope without her fix.

"Kerry's very aware of the hole now. She gets paranoid about it as things get trapped up there. It;s starting to look like Danniella Westbrook before her surgery.

"When Kerry's stepdad died it really affected her and she turned to drugs then. It’s tragic. Kerry doesn’t have an off button.

"Her cocaine intake always goes up massively when things are bad.

"Kerry had been taking a lot of coke anyway but when Mark walked out her intake increased loads. And when she came down from the binge, she started pining for Mark.

"Any time Kerry has friends round she wants everyone to join in [taking cocaine]. She just hammers it and stays up for three full days."

The friend added, "Then her body goes into shutdown and she’ll finally go to sleep. It's so unhealthy because she's on bipolar medication as well. When things get really bad she'll just sit on the bathroom floor off her face."

If this is true, who the hell is looking after her children? She's mom to Molly Marie, 7, Lilly-Sue, 6 (with ex Brian McFadden) and with husband Mark Croft, she has Heidi Elizabeth, 2, and son Maxwell, 11 months.

Kerry admitted to drug use back in 2004, and entered rehab. In 2006 she said she'd been clean since receiving treatment. But last year she was accused of being drunk on a British morning talk show. Is Katona on another downhill slide?

Post-Baby: Louise Redknapp Got Sexy So Husband Wouldn't Cheat

Sassy Smith — Sat, 21 Mar 2009 15:03:00 GMT

English soccer player Jamie Redknapp's wife, former Eternal singer Louise Redknapp, gave birth just four months ago - yet she had no problem showing off her post-pregnancy curves in a sheer top with a black bra peeking through. What is Louise's motivation for getting into shape so soon after the birth of their second child? Well, according to her, there are a lot of "beautiful, skinny" girls out there, that may tempt her husband.

Redknapp, who is the face and body of Triumph lingerie, was spotted out in central London showing off some of that lingerie and her tight abs. And apparently she's afraid her husband will step out on her, so she made sure she got back to her regular sexiness - very quickly.

"I want to feel good for myself and my husband. Jamie's a good-looking guy and I do go through ups and downs. When I feel confident, I think, 'I'm a good woman. He won't find anyone better.' Then I have days when I think, 'There are beautiful, skinny girls out there. He could have anyone.'"

Wow, she's sending out quite a message isn't she? That's a lot of pressure - to pop back into shape mere months after giving birth, because you think your husband will cheat if you're not perfect? What is she saying about him? About herself?

I don't think any woman should be expected to be "lingerie" ready four months after they've had a baby. Her focus should be on her babies, not on her weight. Sure, it's OK if you want to get back into shape and be healthy, but gradually - don't kill yourself getting there.

Redknapp is also working on a show for ITV, called The Truth About Skinny Mums. Guess that added pressure to get thin too!

The couple are parents to Charley William, 3 1/2, and Beau Henry, 4 months.

Oh thank goodness! It was reported that new mom M.I.A. named her nearly-one-month-old baby boy Ickitt but that is not the case... whew! No offense, but that really is an awful name.

Well, I say finally, but to be fair, I'm sure hip-hop singer M.I.A. named her baby boy soon after his birth, but this is the first time we're hearing his name. She and Benjamin Brewer welcomed him on February 11, and their son is one of the most adorable babies I've ever seen... but his name? Uh, not, something I'd pick. Wanna know what it is?

Find out after the jump!

Ickitt. I don't know, maybe it has some special significance that we're unaware of? Sure, it's obviously her choice what she names her baby and really, he is a beautiful, beautiful baby, but the name...

As we all know, M.I.A. certainly isn't the first celebrity parent to give their child an unusual name.

Maybe it'll grow on us.

*Update* She did NOT name her son Ickitt......HERE!!!!!!

Billie Piper: Who?

sweatpantsmom — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 16:35:00 GMT

Let me just be honest and say I have no idea who Billie Piper is. Luckily I have this new thing called "The Internet" and it told me that Piper used to star in a British series called Dr. Who. It also told me she gave birth in October to that cute little baby there, a boy named Winston. I'm telling you, this Internet thing is really going to catch on in the next few years.

I also learned that the actress will be starring in a new show about a struggling single mom who goes in search of her own father. The producers could save themselves a lot of trouble if they just named the new show Mr. Who.

Piper has called motherhood the "toughest job" she has ever had, which may explain the look on her face in this photo. She might be a lot happier of she spent some time on The Internet.

Kate Winslet: My Daughter Hated My Oscar Gown

Sassy Smith — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Actress Kate Winslet won an Oscar for Best Actress last Sunday and while some may have thought her choice of dress was lovely, there was one person who was "mortified" about her gray dress... her 8-year-old daughter, Mia!

Winslet called her children - Mia, and son Joe Alfie, 5 - backstage, after her win. Mia couldn't believe her mother's gray Yves St. Laurent evening gown.

Kate, told Oprah on Monday's show, "I said, 'Hi, Mia, did you jump up and down?' "[Mia] says: 'Yes, I did, Mum, I did. I need to talk to you about the dress, it was gray.' She was absolutely mortified I wore a gray dress."

The 33-year-old told Oprah she didn't want a lot of dresses being sent to her, especially in these tough economic times.

"I think in this time in the economy, it's just not nice to have people make lots of dresses and you just wear one out of a possible five. So Yves St. Laurent very kindly said, 'We'd like to make something for you,' and that was what we did."

Kate also talked about not doing any more nude scenes because of her children.

"I have done quite a lot of nudity, and I feel like my kids they're 8 and 5 now, maybe they're going to start to become aware of the amount of nudity I've done. I just sort of feel like I can't get away with it that much longer."

Another reason I love her - she's so real and seems like such a great mom! (And ya, she's a wonderful actress too!)

Hip-hop star and performer M.I.A. welcomed her first child - a son - last Wednesday, and she was scheduled to perform this coming Sunday at the Oscars, however, will the new mom be up for it so soon after the birth of her baby?

Oscar producers Laurence Mark and Bill Condon are willing to do whatever it takes to make M.I.A. comfortable, in the hopes that she'll be performing at the Oscars Sunday evening, even though she's just had a baby.

M.I.A. is scheduled to perform her Oscar-nominated song "O, Saya" from Slumdog Millionaire, and producers are suggesting she perform on a bed!

Said Mark, "She's eager to perform... We've said things like, 'We're willing to have her enter on a large bed.' We'll make it as easy for her as we can."

I'm thinking she'll do it - if the woman can get her groove on, up on the Grammy stage, when she's ready to pop a baby out, then this should be a piece of cake!

Lily Allen Should Never Be a Mother

trix — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:32:00 GMT

I repeat, Lily Allen should never be a mother. Lily Allen was part of a little controversy last month condoning drug use but then she said she was sorry and made it all better.

This month however, she dug herself in a little deeper with this sage advice for parents.

" Parents should say, ' Drugs might seem fun, but they do funny things to your brain. Some people react to it good, some don't. Try it and see what you think.'"

She also said that, “If I hadn’t been famous I’d have taken loads (ecstacy). Wouldn’t be too wise right now. I’ve never been good with cocaine or drugs like that. They make me passionately angry on everything. I steer clear of heroin or crack."

That's good to know, I guess.

What an idiot! She needs a handler or agent to tell her that sometimes, she should keep her opinions to herself.

I hope to high heaven, she matures quite a bit before she decides to have kids.

Naomi Watts Wants A Brangelina-Sized Brood

Sassy Smith — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 14:02:00 GMT

Naomi Watts always thought she'd have kids by the time she was thirty. The now-40-year-old actress is mom to Sasha, 18 months and Sammy, 2 months, with partner, actor Liev Schreiber, and although she says she'd love to go for another baby, Schreiber walks around saying, "no more babies." Will Watts get her 'Brangelina-sized' brood?

Watts just finished work on a new movie and hopes there's a couple more this year. She admits her life is hectic as a working mom of two. And she'd like to add to that - by having another baby - hopefully a girl.

Watt's on more babies:

"I love babies. I look at this little baby and, even after quite an intense birth – they say you have amnesia, as women – I would go a third. It would be nice to have a girl.

"But you should see our house. It's pretty chaotic right now and I keep making fun of Liev because he keeps walking around going, 'No more babies, no more babies', like Rain Man or something.

"I always thought that I would have had kids by 30. I'd like five more. But five is excessive, particularly for someone my age. We'll see."

How she's balancing life as a mom of two now:

"Everyone did warn us that it's chaotic for the first couple of years, and we're in that period where I'm chasing my toddler whilst feeding my baby. You're nursing and watching your toddler climbing up on a chair or about to pull himself down on to something, and it's pretty nerve-wracking.

"We've definitely got our hands full in our home."

On life with partner Liev Schreiber - will they marry? They've been together since May of 2005:

"We are a family unit and we talk about the future, but we are not in so much of a hurry to get married.

"I'm not against marriage, but I'm not someone who's craving it desperately."

Balancing working and motherhood:

"I have slowed down. Pregnancy and babies tend to do that. The International is the only film I have done since being a mum.

"There was a period of time when there were eight projects in the can or in preparation, but I was burnt out. I had pretty much been on that grind for about five years after Mulholland Drive.

"Once I met Liev I felt I wanted more time to myself and for us to spend time together and then the pregnancy and the baby. Then last year he was shooting (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) in Australia and I like to be there, obviously, and then I got pregnant again.

"So that's kind of how things have gone, but I really had wanted to be a mum for some time and I waited for the right situation.

"I wasn't sure it was ever going to happen and now that I am a mum I still can't believe it. I look at my kids and go, 'Wow, you're mine forever'.

"I get quite moved by that."

Naomi says Liev is an "incredibly hands-on dad" who is "adored" by their oldest:

"In fact, when I'm in the room it's like I don't exist. Daddy plays rough-house. I try to, but I'm just not as fun or rough as Daddy. But it's not just the playtime stuff for Liev. It's changing diapers – he does everything with me."

Naomi Watts is Baby Crazy

Update: M.I.A. Blogs About Her New Son!

Sassy Smith — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:03:00 GMT

Hip-hop star M.I.A. and fiance Benjamin Brewer welcomed their first child, a son, Wednesday, February 11 and the 31-year-old singer took to her Myspace to talk about her new bundle of joy!

From M.I.A.:

"Sunday night I came home from the Grammys still in the mood to party - I could easily gone out but I went home instead - lucky I did! My early labor kicked in around 2 a.m. My baby was born Wednesday. He is healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet - of course I'm his mum!! Me and baby are putting our tour dates for 2010 together, making mix tapes and figuring out a way to break out of the hospital! My baby boy says hi!"

Next up - will M.I.A. be up to performing at next Sunday's Academy Awards? She's set to sing "O Saya," her Oscar-nominated song from Slumdog Millionaire.

She must have got things moving after her Grammy performance last Sunday - because hip hop star M.I.A. has given birth to her first child! So, did she have a girl? Or a boy, as she was convinced she was having?

It's a boy! She and fiance Benjamin Brewer welcomed their son on Wednesday, February 11.

Desi Hits asked M.I.A. what she hopes to teach her child: "I would teach my child tons of things. I want my child to see third world countries, and be humble about what he or she has, and have sound judgement."

Congrats! We'll keep you posted with more details as they become available.

A very pregnant M.I.A. took to the stage at the Grammy Awards Sunday evening, and she certainly delivered - well not her baby, but her performance! I was convinced her water was going to break! The hip hop singer, who is having a son, is convinced her boy will be a hip hop star too.

Video after the jump!

Before taking the stage Sunday night, M.I.A. said her little one is poised to be a hip hop star. "He's getting ready for Jay-Z and Lil Wayne. So far, so good.

"I just don't know what labor is. It's my first baby. So I'm not walking around going, 'Maybe this is it.' The baby is just moving around, getting his swagga on."
