Kate Hudson is Running Scared

trix — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 23:44:00 GMT

Kate Hudson attended the Veuve Clicquot's Polo Classic on Saturday and oops, so did Madonna. Normally that wouldn't be a big deal, but Kate's dating Madonna's leftovers and she's afraid Madonna is mad.

I'm guessing Kate doesn't like confrontation.

The NY Daily News reported:

"Kate was completely intimidated by Madonna," said one guest. "She clearly didn't want trouble and decided to keep a low profile for the rest of the match." Said a second guest, "I didn't even see Kate Hudson again after Madonna arrived. She ran away! But if I were dating Madonna's ex, I'd be scared, too!"

While Hudson hung out in the back of the tent, Madonna rocked her royal status. After showing up in a black Mercedes-Benz with several NYPD escorts, she held court with boy toy Jesus Luz, her kids Rocco Ritchie and David Banda, as well as pals Marc Jacobs, Lorenzo Martone and photographer Steven Klein.

"Madonna literally didn't care," said a third eyewitness.
"She showed up with no makeup, a dowdy [denim] outfit and her hair pulled up in a ponytail. She doesn't need to compete with Kate, because she will always be Queen Bee."

I'm not sure why Kate was scared of her, Madonna has Jesus, she couldn't care less if Kate is dating A-Rod. She probably realized the he is loonier than she is and didn't want to compete for the crazy.

Would you run if Madonna was after you?

Reese Witherspoon and Daughter Ava Get Batty

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 31 May 2009 12:35:00 GMT

Reese Witherspoon and her mini-me, daughter Ava, got in some batting practice together at an LA baseball field. It's amazing how much Ava looks like her mom - sign that girl up for Legally Blonde 3!

I'm thinking Reese was probably practicing for her upcoming role as a professional softball player in James Brooks' new movie. She has supposedly thrown herself into a demanding exercise regime, honing her softball skills and running rigorous drills.

The untitled comedy – which is going by the working title How Do You Know? – involves a love triangle between a white collar executive, played by Paul Rudd, Reese's character and a professional baseball pitcher played by Owen Wilson. Twenty-dollars says Kate Hudson will manage to insert herself in there somewhere.

Edie Falco And Mommy's Little Slugger

Josh loposer — Thu, 28 May 2009 20:00:00 GMT

Edie Falco and her 4 year-old son Anderson celebrate on the field at last night's Mets game after Edie threw out the ceremonial first pitch.

From the reports I've read, Edie has quite the arm. She apparently zinged a near strike from behind the pitchers mound. That's better than a whole lot of dudes, Mario Lopez for example (who walked up like ten steps).

I guess that speaks pretty loudly for Edie's strength as a single mother, a former alcoholic, and a breast cancer survivor. On her own, Edie is raising two kids Anderson, 4, and Macy, 15 months, both adopted.

She's got a new show coming up on Showtime called Nurse Jackie in which she plays the lead character, a brilliant and flawed Vicodin-popping ER nurse.

Madonna Dishes on A-Rod and Kate Hudson

Josh loposer — Wed, 27 May 2009 14:31:00 GMT

A-Rod should send Madonna a thank you card. In her estimation, not only did she help him deliver the death blow to his troubled marriage with that ordinary, non-celebrity woman with which he had two kids (Natasha, 4 and a half, and Ella 13 months), she helped him raise the caliber of women who he dates.

From Gatecrasher:

“[If Madonna] is displeased with her Brazilian stud, Madonna is more than happy that another recent ex, Alex Rodriguez, has moved on with actress Kate Hudson.

Madonna is actually relieved that A-Rod seems so happy with Kate,” a Madge insider tells us. “He’s always treated women like he treats home runs anyway. He’s getting a great batting average here. In fact, Madonna is actually proud that she’s raised the bar for him, so he can date a better caliber of women.”

What's weird here is that I'm still having trouble buying this A-Rod-Kate Hudson thing. I just don't see the potential for any real long-term attraction. Sure, they're both on the rebound, and they've both got young kids, but the similarities kinda fizzle out after that.

I still think Kate's working this deal to get her son, 5 year-old Ryder, some free t-ball pointers from the 3-time American league MVP.

Madonna And Jesus - Committed For Now, HUH?

trix — Tue, 26 May 2009 21:31:00 GMT

So Madonna and Jesus Luz had some sort of Kabbalah commitment ceremony.

What did they commit to? I have no idea, since Jesus said he doesn't have plans to marry Madonna.

I know you don't have to be married to have a committed relationship, just look at the latest Prop 8 ruling in California. But it's nice to have some sort of future plans, especially when as young as he is.

I guess they could be committed to having as much fun as possible while together, but doesn't that cheapen the whole ceremony?

Jesus said, "Madonna is beautiful, a person full of positive energy, with no visible faults. I found her marvelous. Her personality also impressed me. I cannot say anything more than I don't have plans of marrying her. I can't say if she is the woman in my life."

Wait, was it to Arkham that were you committed too?

Manny Ramirez Busted!

Whit Honea — Thu, 07 May 2009 19:04:00 GMT

Dodgers superstar Manny Ramirez has failed a drug test and will be suspended by MLB for 50 games.

Admittedly, I'm not surprised. Man-Ram using performance enhancing drugs actually explains a lot. Not only is he too good, but he tends to be labeled a jerk by pretty much everyone that ever meets him. Think Barry Bonds with really bad hair. Really bad hair.

Ramirez will lose 7.7 million dollars during the suspension- which means that he makes more in two months than the rest of us combined will make in our collective lifetime.

However, I don't think we need to worry about his kids going hungry. The little Mannys (seriously, it's George Formanesque) should be able to get by on day old caviar and Happy Meals till this all blows over. Whether or not they get over the scar of their dad being called a cheater is a different story.

Here's Manny's spin. For the record, his new spin is the same as the old spin:

"Recently I saw a physician for a personal health issue. He gave me a medication, not a steroid, which he thought was okay to give me. Unfortunately, the medication was banned under our drug policy. Under the policy that mistake is now my responsibility. I have been advised not to say anything more for now. I do want to say one other thing; I've taken and passed about 15 drug tests over the past five seasons.

"I want to apologize to Mr. McCourt, Mrs. McCourt, Mr. Torre, my teammates, the Dodger organization, and to the Dodger fans. LA is a special place to me and I know everybody is disappointed. So am I. I'm sorry about this whole situation."

Seriously? The blame the doctor angle? I didn't stay in a Holiday Inn last night, but I'm pretty sure medical professionals that are dealing with expensive commodities like professional athletes have a pretty good understanding of what they can and cannot prescribe.

Is it just me or is the American pastime going on a quick ride in a handbasket?

Can You Compete With Madonna?

trix — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 21:32:00 GMT

Someone took a survey to find out who is the hardest working mom in showbiz. Why on earth would they do that? Are they trying to invalidate every other mom out there?

The winner of this dubious award is Madonna. She is the hardest working mom out there. *cough* *cough*

This poll irritates me on several levels. First, according to reports of her staff, Madonna doesn't spend a whole lot of time with her kids. The kids are lucky to get a half an hour a day with her. Second, just because she topped the earnings list means diddely squat to her kids. Third, I think this kind of poll is ridiculous because, people like you and me, who work our asses off for little more than the kisses our kids give us before they go to bed at night could never compete. I don't know about you but after I play chef, housekeeper, nanny and chauffeur, I'm beat.

I bet my kids think I'm the hardest working mom they know.

Reese Witherspoon - Gyllenhaal? Not So Fast

Josh loposer — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 17:30:00 GMT

Are rumors about a Reese Witherspoon - Jake Gyllenhaal wedding justified? You can bet that the power couple is feeling the pressure.

Reese has a pretty full plate with her upcoming roll as a pro-softball player and two kids -- Ava Elizabeth, 9, and Deacon Reese, 5 -- and she's made it know that she isn't going to hurry into anything following her divorce with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe. But that won't stop friends and the blogosphere from speculating:

“Reese’s best friend, Heather Whitney [co-owner of the LA clothing store Poppy], just got engaged,” a source tells Life & Style magazine. “She’s got Reese thinking! People around her have been speculating that she and Jake are getting closer and closer to the altar, and Heather’s engagement only puts that much more pressure on them. At least they’re discussing [marriage]. Close friends shrug and say ‘I don’t know anything’ when you can tell they know something. Everyone in their circle is talking about it. It’s like any other relationship — the marriage issue has finally caught up with them.”

Perhaps even more significant is the fact that Jake has already proposed -- almost two years ago. Sure, Reese wasn't ready then, but Jake made his intentions pretty clear.

As it goes with most long-term couples, as time passes, the pressure continuously ratchets up. Some reports have them already engaged. We'll see.

Madonna Welcomes Jesus Back With Open Arms

trix — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:29:00 GMT

Why exactly did Madonna call it off with Jesus? I'm not sure, but whatever it was, it didn't take because, he's back.

Now, I'm thinking she put all that nonsense about being single again on Twitter, to say that she was officially done with Guy and can do whatever she wants. Not that she couldn't before, it's just official now.

The happy to be single part could have just meant that, being single means she can have her boy toys and be a sugar momma, because that's her favorite kind of momma to be.

She's always had the propensity to be the sexual deviant and to go after the young boys (men). She's just heading back to what comes naturally to her and I guess Jesus fills a certain role.

We all have our part to play.

BRIT BRIT ISN'T PREGNANT!

Oh Ryan Seacrest you are a silly boy.

He was told by a "reliable" source that Britney Spears is pregnant, however her manager was quick to set the record straight.

Adam Leber said: " She's absolutely not pregnant. I have no idea where this ridiculous rumor came from. Ryan has communication with our camp and could have checked this before saying it."

Well, shoot, I'm so glad she's not pregnant. She doesn't need any distractions right now.

If I Were Madonna, I'd Be a Little Put Out

trix — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:29:00 GMT

So Madonna fell off of another horse the other day and it wasn't even her fault. The animal wasn't spooked by a snake or a dog running in it's path, it was spooked by the paparazzi.

Ooh, I'd be ticked, if I were her. I would have probably got up and given them a piece of my mind. Imagine what nasty things you would be thinking about the imbecile's that jumped out of the bushes to take your picture and scared your well trained horse.

Madonna suffered minor injuries and bruising, but was released from the hospital the same day as the accident.

Oh yes I almost forgot, not only did the paparazzi scare her hors, then they reported that she fell off of it like it was all her fault.

Classy, super classy, guys!

Britney Spears is Getting Married Y'all

trix — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:34:00 GMT

Wow, Britney really gets around. At least that's what the media would have us believe. Yes, that includes us here at Famecrawler, sorry.

First, she was linked to her manager, then her backup dancers, Geo and Chase, then on to her ex-hubby K-fed. Now is the best relationship though, because it includes an engagement ring. A big, sparkly, $4.5 million marquis cut, diamond ring.

Who's the guy? His name is John Sundahl and he is multi-millionaire land developer in Germany. How did the couple hook up? Apparently they dated in 2007 and he's been burning with love for her ever since. She just had to get a few things sorted out before they could really be together, forever. Things like her brain and her hangers on.

Mr. Sundahl's personal pilot let the world in on the situation. He said, "Britney and John used to date, but they reconnected after her show in New Jersey, and now they're engaged. He got down on one knee in a Subway sandwich shop in Santa Monica a week ago and proposed with a $4.5 million marquise-cut diamond that he bought at a Frankfurt jewelry store. They plan on getting married at his aunt's farm in Germany in six weeks. It's very hush-hush, even to the employees. He's even putting a $350K fence around the property."

The story gets better though. John Sundahl said, from his parents house in Santa Monica, " I don't want to talk about that", but then said, "Britney doesn't want to do anything until the tour is over. She wants press for her tour and not for an engagement."

Britney's people say there is no such plans and there was no proposal. It sounds as though she may have a stalker.

Crazy!!!

Do you think Brit Brit is engaged and getting married in 6 weeks? I'm gonna guess, NO!

A Crying Madonna Wants Mercy Now

I really feel bad for Madonna, this whole adoption denial thing has hit her pretty hard. The picture above shows her in tears and you just can't help but feel bad for her.

At least I can't help but feel for her. I hope that the whole thing gets straightened out soon and she can bring her little Mercy home to her new multi-million dollar home in New York.

No matter what you think of Madonna, she is said to be a good mother, and is in pain.

Reese Witherspoon Multi-Tasks On The Baseball Diamond

Josh loposer — Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:35:00 GMT

Reese Witherspoon's a busy lady. Thankfully, she's good at multi-tasking. Does it look like she's just idly playing ball with her 9-year-old daughter Ava here? Well, she's also preparing for her next role.

It's a good thing that Reese has somebody to play catch with, because she'll need all the skillz she can muster in her upcoming role as a professional softball player. The yet untitled James L. Brooks flick will reportedly feature Witherspoon along side the legendary Bill Murray and funnyman Paul Rudd.

I'm guessing Reese will have no problem making selling herself as a pro-baller, since she's already a quasi-jock. Supposedly, Reese finds time to do yoga and run 3 miles every day -- all while keeping track of a 9 and 5-year-old. I wish I could do that.

More Adoption Trouble For Madonna

trix — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 12:33:00 GMT

Madonna made a rather embarrassing trip to Malawi this week. I say embarrassing because, she went thinking that she would just sashay in and the courts would fall all over themselves in an effort to please her, and they didn't.

Now there is more trouble in the adoption plans, Mercy's father, or at least a man claiming to be Mercy's father, has come forward to take custody of her. He lives in another village, but wants to take a DNA test to prove that he is her father.

The man's name is James Kambewa, and he had no idea that Mercy was alive, because he was told that she dies with her mother in childbirth. He says he wants to meet Madonna and tell her to back off, he can take care off his own daughter, thank you very much!

There is also an interesting tidbit to the whole story. I guess it is tradition or custom in Malawi to give a child his or her fathers middle name, and Mercy has James'.

He said, “Discovering my daughter is alive is a miracle. Now I call on all my countrymen to help me have my child. I will take a DNA test and appear in court to prove Mercy is my child. I am willing to do whatever it takes. I bear no grudge against Madonna. But I am Mercy’s father and I want her to stay with me. God will take care of us.”

Well, there you have it. Do you think he is really Mercy's father? Or is he just another one of the many that didn't want Madonna to take another child from Malawi?

Instead of constantly bad mouthing his ex, Madonna, Guy Richie takes the high road.

He commented on Madonna's adoption efforts by saying, “Madonna is a fantastic and loving mother who cares deeply about her own children and children who may need additional help and support. I fully supported Madonna in her decision to apply for this adoption, and I am saddened that her application has been rejected. She is motivated only by being a caring parent who seeks to share some of the advantages and opportunities that her life has given her. This time it did not work out, but there will be other opportunities, and I wish her well in them. She is a great mum.”

Wow, if only more divorced parents treated each other that way, or even said nice things about each other in front of their kids. We all know those couples that still get along for the kids, but their are just as many that don't and don't hesitate to show it.

Britney Spears "Dating" Another Dancer

trix — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 11:33:00 GMT

Britney Spears is desperately trying to keep it together while on tour and is finding it easier with her new "love" interest.

Is that him in the picture?

She has supposedly hooked up with several of her dancers and has stuck with dancer Chase Benz for some time.

I'm not sure how long she could have been sticking with him, since the tour just started last month.

Chase is a 21 year old from Tennessee and I've heard it's getting serious. She was probably drawn in by his southern accent and felt they had a lot in common because of their shared background.

Hopefully he's not another K-Fed and she's learned her lesson.

Madonna is a Slave Driver?

trix — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 22:27:00 GMT

Poor Madonna, she's having such a rough time lately. She is being bad mouthed by people in Malawi for the adoption "kidnapping" of Mercy, she had to break up with her boy toy Jesus Luz and Guy is dating, a lot.

Now on top of it all, her staff is walking out on her slowly but surely, and they don't have very many nice things to say about their experience. Sure they had a great time traveling the world and all that but the work experience was rough.Madonna had two personal assistants, two nannies and a chauffeur quit within a relatively short period of time. Why?

It seems that even if you work for a multi-millionaire pop singer, you should be able to have a little quality of life. The long hours that Madonna requires was the main reason all her employees quit.

The most recent employee to quit took to her Facebook page to tell of her should I stay, or should I go, battle.

“Not putting up (with) this s— any more,” an entry from February.

“Never have, never will. Standing up for my rights regardless of consequence. Sick of always being the one who compromises.”

The next day she wrote: “You know the score!!! No one messes with my party.”

A month earlier, as she prepared for a weekend off, Ms Jacobsen vowed to “make the most of my 48 f—ing hours” of freedom.

It sounds like she was tired of not getting any time off. The long hours that Madonna requires her employees to work also make it sound like Madonna can't do anything by herself. I bet she just wants all these toadies around telling her how great she is all the time. Actually, now that I think about it, I think she probably can't do anything because she is always working out and doesn't have time for anything else.

Who knows?

Guy Richie has another new girlfriend and it has to be driving Madonna insane.

Madonna is in Malawi trying to steal another baby, their words not mine, and Guy has been stepping out with various woman, various, hot women. His latest squeeze is Petrina Khashoggi and I bet when she meets the kids she will let them have sweets and watch T.V..

Petrina is quite smitten with Guy and though he's trying to keep it casual, he has taken her home to the country estate.

Madonna and Jesus Part Ways

trix — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:31:00 GMT

Madonna and Jesus Luz have gone their separate ways. Hallelujah!

Madonna took to Twitter to tell her fans how happy she is to be single again.

Oh yay! I bet her kids are happy she's single again, especially since Jesus is only 10 or so years older than Lourdes.

She was live on Twitter for about 20 min and talked to her fans. Madonna said she was "glad" to be single again and her fans replied that she's not as happy as they are. Her fans told her that she makes much better music when she is single.

I wonder what the reason for the "split" was. Could it have been due to the alleged cheating on the part of Jesus or was she just done with him?

Perhaps Madonna will take that to heart and make better relationship decisions in the future. A- Rod and Jesus weren't the best choices she could have made, especially on the rebound.

Madonna and Jesus - Still Going Strong?

trix — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:33:00 GMT

Jesus Luz has spoken out and denied the claim that he cheated on Madonna.

He insisted that he and the lingerie model, Luciana Costa, are just friends. He even stated that his mother was at the party where he danced with Luciana and he would never become intimate with a woman when his mother was in the room.

Ahhh, what a gentleman.

He told Sun magazine, “I danced with her, but I danced with everyone at the party. My mom was at my side (at the party) and never would I become intimate with a woman if my mom was nearby - even if I was interested in that person. I have nothing with Luciana. The next day I met her on the beach and greeted her normally. The press created this story.”

He doesn't really comment on his personal life and said, "Even if it is true that I am with her, I would never reveal these details. I was never one to comment on my personal life and that won’t change now. This is a characteristic of my personality.”

So I think that raised more questions than anything else. He denies cheating on a women that he may or may not be involved with.

I'm so confused. Could this be one of the reasons the Malawi Government won't let Madonna adopt?

Breaking News- Madonna Filed Adoption Papers in Malawi

trix — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 13:32:00 GMT

A Malawian official confirmed that Madonna filed papers today to adopt another child from Malawi.

Madonna is supposed to visit Malawi over the weekend and perhaps even be able to appear in court on Monday. All the government officials involved have confirmed these rumors except Madonna's rep.

"Our official policy is that we do not encourage our children to be sent into broken homes. Her relationships may negatively affect the adoption of Mercy."

I guess the little girl she wants to adopt is named Mercy.

It seems she had such a difficult tie adopting last time, I hope it goes a little smoother this time. Because, even though it's Madonna, and she needs to let the kids be kids, she still takes good care of the munchkins. They are well fed, schooled and traveled, which is better than the life David or Mercy is likely to have in Malawi.
