Take a Number: Lance Armstrong Will Fall in Love With You Next

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 23:05:00 GMT

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has Lance Armstrong been with a whole lot of women? There was Sheryl Crow, Kate Hudson, Ashley Olsen, the entire Swedish women's cycling team. Okay, I made that last one up, but you have to admit the guy gets around.

Now comes word that the seven-time Tour de France champion has proposed to his pregnant girlfriend, Anna Hansen. InTouch Weekly is citing an Armstrong pal as saying that the engagement happened while the couple was vacationing in Hawaii.

“Lance proposed on the beach,” his friend told the mag. “Although he has a reputation as a ladies’ man, he’s also very traditional, and just feels more comfortable being married before having a baby.”

Before I get way too cynical, let me congratulate the couple on their engagement and their upcoming baby. But a word of advice to his fianceé: Make sure you take away Lance's bicycle so he can't ride away.

Ben Affleck Says Romance with JLo was a Mistake

Karl Erikson — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 20:36:00 GMT

Ben Affleck says he regrets his relationship with Jennifer Lopez. Ben, 36, says their romance got out of control really fast. "I think Jen and I made a mistake," he says, "in that we fell in love, we were excited, and maybe too accessible."

Hmm, isn't that what romance IS? Being accessible?

"I don't think either of us anticipated the degree to which it would take on a world of its own." The couple met on the set of the god-awful "Gigli" in 2002 - guess something came out of that movie besides tears of agony, that movie was worse than waterboarding - but broke up just before they were due to marry in September, 2004.

Ben, of course, is now married to the tons-hotter Jennifer Garner, 36. They have little Violet. J-Lo, 39, is married to Marc Anthony, 40, and they have 9-month-old twins Max and Emme.

You tell me...who got the better end of that deal? The guy who married Elektra or the guy who married that other chick?

Jim Carrey Pees and Paints for Valentine's Day

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 14:05:00 GMT

Sure, flowers and candy are nice, but Jim Carrey has more authentic ways of showing his love to girlfriend Jenny McCarthy on Valentine's Day. In an interview on the Oprah Winfrey Show set to air on Monday the comedian says, "We're just gonna go everywhere she ever existed – you know, where she had her first kiss. [We're going to] see all those places that were near and dear to her and I'm gonna put my scent all over them."

Carrey also shared what he got for McCarthy as a Valentine's Day gift. "I did a painting for Jenny and it took me 50 hours," When asked what he painted he replied, "Mostly nudes. Just certain sections of the anatomy – and I give them names."

Jake and Reese: Real Couple Or Really Good Scam?

HerBadMother — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:32:00 GMT

It's getting harder and harder to keep track of this stuff. First we hear that Jake Gyllenhaal and newly-divorced mother of two Reese Witherspoon are a couple, then we hear that they're not, then we hear that he's gay, then we hear that he's not, then we hear that Jake and Reese are a couple again, then we hear that it's all a publicity stunt for their movie Rendition and that maybe Jake's bearded in more ways than one.

I don't know. I kinda don't care anymore. I mean, Jake's equally hot and equally totally unattainable to me whether he's gay or straight, single or coupled, so it really makes no difference to me what he's getting up to. I just worry for Reese, is all. Single mom, freshly divorced - she's gotta be under a lot of pressure, so I think that she really needs a nice boy to hang out with. You know, go for milkshakes, walk on the beach holding hands, that kinda thing. And if Jake's that guy, great - but I gotta say, if this is just a publicity stunt (which, if it is, she's probably in on it, but whatever) or a cover-up for le grande affaire with Austin Nichols, well, then, that just sucks and I'll probably boycott Rendition, which I wasn't going to see anyway, but still. I'll be mad.

Britney Spears Parties With Tony Romo Who I Thought Owned a Restaurant

sweatpantsmom — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 13:05:00 GMT

Okay, I don't know crap about football, so I have to admit when I first saw the headlines I thought "Well, the guy sure knows how to barbecue a good rib." Of course, turns out it wasn't Tony Roma she's hanging out with, but Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. If you ask me she'd be better off with someone who knows how to cook a pigskin than throw one, but that's just me.

After her long court hearing on Friday Spears and friend/cousin/lover Alli Sims met up with Romo and his posse at L.A. restaurant Ketchup and then headed over to hotspot Les Deux. E! Online reports that Spears changed her outfit three times during the evening. Who the eff cares? All I know is now I'm hungry for big plate of baby backs and a side of cole slaw.

Reese Witherspoon Likes to Relax With a Blunt!

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 12:05:00 GMT

Hey, a girl's gotta unwind somehow. And while they're both skinny and kind of smelly, that's not a joint that Reese is holding - it's singer James Blunt. The two apparently smoked things up recently after one of the singer's shows at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles.

Blunt, singer of the ubiquitous "You're Beautiful," has also dated Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and supermodel Petra Nemcova. He may not be a doobie but he sure gets passed around like one.

Britney Spears Engaged?

HerBadMother — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 19:03:00 GMT

Britney was recently spotted wearing some major bling on her ring finger. Engagement ring?

But who in the world would have proposed to Britney? Nick Carter? That caveman guy? Michael Jackson?

And, also, isn't she supposed to be into girls now? Not that she couldn't marry a girl, but she'd probably have to come to Canada to do it. That'd be kinda cool. Don't know that it would entirely revive her flagging career, but it would give us all something to talk about out other than how bad her hair looks, or whether she's wearing underpants.

Sparks Between Jake And Reese: So That Adopting-Babies-With-Gay-Lover Story Was Just A Rumour?

HerBadMother — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 15:03:00 GMT

I'm so confused. A Toronto-based gossip columnist is reporting that the sparks were a-flyin' between Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon at the Toronto International Film Festival press conference for their film Rendition. But wasn't it just, like, last week that the Internet was buzzing over the story that Jake has been dating actor Austin Nichols for years and that the two are expecting a baby through a surrogate? And, also, that Jake and Austin had been busted for some backseat Californication with a little moo goo gai pan on the side? Gay, straight, straight, gay - I'm having trouble keeping track.

Whether Jake is gay or straight is his own business, of course. I just want to know whether I have shot with him (you know, in that alternate parallel universe where my husband happily agrees to embrace polyandry.) I can take Reese, I figure, but that Austin guy? Too hot. I wouldn't stand a chance.

Ben Affleck to Violet: Your Mama Saved Me From J-Lo

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 14:30:00 GMT

Remember Bennifer? Those days when Jennifer Lopez would parade Ben around, all primped and greased like her very own ventriloquist dummy?

Don't get me wrong - I like my Jenny from the Block. But I don't think I could have taken one more shot of her and Ben mugging from the front seat of their Bentley, looking like fake rappers on their way to buy a casino. I was waiting for Ben to get a grill and change his name to B-Diddy.

Thank goodness Jennifer Garner came around and took away Ben's fake gangsta outfits, his pinkie rings and his Brylcreem.

Good Will Hawaii: Equal Time for the Damon Family

Whit Honea — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:29:00 GMT

Matt Damon, wife Luciana Bozan, and daughters Isabella and Alexia, take a little time away from those pesky Afflecks while vacationing in Hawaii. Not sure who the woman in black is that is edging her way into the shot. Knowing her, my guess would be Naomi Watts, but I may be wrong.

Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck Could Pass for Normal

Whit Honea — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 11:01:00 GMT

Jennifer Garner, and her lovely daughter Violet Affleck, 18 months, seem about as normal as the rest of us. Well, most of us. They seem pretty good at keeping it real.

This family vacation, with Matt Damon and his family, has allowed for some great bonding with Violet, as well as some excellent playtime on the beach with BFF Isabella, Damon's daughter with Luciana Bozan.

Us Weekly has quoted Garner as saying, "Violet is the most beautiful thing. Just that she exists and I get to hang out with her. There's no one who is more fun."

I know exactly how you feel Jenn, but with my kids of course. Nothing personal. Violet seems swell.

Usher's Fiancée Denies Rumors That She Just Started

Whit Honea — Fri, 22 Jun 2007 12:33:00 GMT

Usher and his fiancée, Tameka Foster, want to set the record straight on some rumors. First of all, she is not pregnant with the child of her ex.

She tells People, "That is ridiculous, if that were the case, the baby would have been born already." Ah, playing the logic card. Nicely done, Tameka.

Now here is where she really clears the air:

Asked if she's pregnant with Usher's child, she says: "Yes, I do plan to have children with Usher. This is the man I love and plan to spend the rest of my life with, so why wouldn't I want to share that bond of bringing another life into this world with him?"

Um, okay. So is somebody having a baby with somebody, or what?

Jolie, Pitt-Jolie, and Pitt, in Walking in the Rain

Whit Honea — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 23:01:00 GMT

Angelina, Maddox and Brad on their way to pick up Pax and Zahara from school at the American Embassy in Prague, Czech Republic. There's a video as well. Listen to the sound of the cameras before they are slowed by the rain. I don't know how the Jolie-Pitt posse does it.

Jen and Violet: Not in Good Will Hunting, but Still in Hawaii

Whit Honea — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 23:09:00 GMT

See, told you Jenn Garner and little Violet were still there. Looks like they're having a good time on the beach. Is this the best two-family vacation ever, or what?

Baby BoratS?

Whit Honea — Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:01:00 GMT

There is some speculation amongst us speculators that Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen may be having not one, but two Baby Borats. This is based solely on rumor and the loose-lipped talk of a shopkeeper that said Isla came in and bought two of everything. In pink. Baby Borettes?

Dave Matthews and Wife Cook Baby

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 22:31:00 GMT

Hey, that's what he said. Musician Dave Matthews and his wife, Ashley, are about ready for their bun to get out of the oven. In an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine, Matthews quotes his wife as saying, "It's cooked!"

The new addition, whose gender they don't know, will be greeted by twin sisters Grace Anne and Stella Busina.

Dave's summer tour kicks off next month, and he says that he is planning on taking the whole family.

Funny how the craziness that happens backstage at a rock concert has changed over the years, isn't it?

Poppy Has Seed

Whit Honea — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:15:00 GMT

Poppy Montgomery, from Without a Trace, and actor Adam Kaufman, are expecting. The baby is due in the fall.

Montgomery and Kaufman are not married, and have no immediate plans to wed.

That may change should Poppy's pappy find his shotgun.

Tori Spelling and Hubs Hit Toronto, Try Convince Canadians That They're Good Parents and Really Nice People, Eh.

HerBadMother — Tue, 12 Jun 2007 16:34:00 GMT

Tori Spelling and hubby Dean McDermott are in Toronto with their three-month old baby Liam in their fancy Silver Cross pram ($3000), promoting their new show "Tori and Dean: Inn Love" and shopping for a home. Which wouldn't be interesting at all, except that Dean's ex-wife Mary Jo Eustace also lives here.

Which is, come to think of it, not interesting at all. Unless you're Canadian, in which case it's a scandal on a par with K-Fed squiring Britney and brood around Shar Jackson's hood. (Which, no, you're right, isn't really a scandal, but still.)

If you're Canadian, or an avid Tori-phile (which would put you in the company of legions of unemployed thirtysomething guys with Brandon Walsh mullets living in their parents' basements watching 90210 on cable, and, maybe, one or two aspiring drag queens), you know that two years ago Dean dropped Mary Jo for Tori while he and Tori were making a TV movie together. You might also know that he and Mary Jo were, at the time, in the process of adopting a baby girl, an adoption that Dean - ever the man - backed out of. You might also know that Tori was pregnant well before the ink was dry on the divorce papers.

It was torrid. It was messy. It was unCanadian. So of course we lapped it up. We all still feel a little bit dirty about it, but what's a Canadian to do? Canadian sex scandals usually just involve politicians playing footsie with each other or calling each other dirty names. Which is to say, Canadian sex scandals usually involve no sex. So we'll take it where we can we can get it, thank you very much.

It would all be really, really funny, if it weren't for the babies. Tori and Dean sung the joys of parenthood as they pimped their show - it has been, they said, "amazing" to work with young Liam who, despite his infancy, will feature prominently in the second season (start 'em young, I say) - all the while glossing over the fact that this is Dean's second shot at fatherhood, and that he failed pretty miserably at the first. (What? You don't think bailing on an adoption because you found higher love in a pair of 34DDs is problematic paternal behaviour?)

So Dean McDermott abandons his wife, son and nearly-adopted infant daughter and runs off with Tori, his Movie-Of-The-Week co-star slash 90210 has-been, and has another baby who he promptly puts on display in a reality TV show and we're all supposed to applaud and coo because he and ~~Tarty~~ Tori are, like, totally "on a baby high" right now?

Please. I'm too Canadian for that.

Spears and K-Fed: Round II ?

Whit Honea — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 21:45:00 GMT

Britney Spears and her freshly divorced husband, Kevin Federline, may be getting back together. According to sources, Spears has been extra happy y'all, and is telling friends that it is due to K-Fed and their spending "secret" time together. Apparently she doesn't understand that a secret only stays that way if you can keep your trap shut.

Word is that K-Fed has been staying overnight whenever he comes and goes for kids and allowance. I'm sure that isn't even remotely confusing for the kids.

Winehouse Wants To Be a F*$#@!NG Mum

Whit Honea — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 21:02:00 GMT

Amy Winehouse, the sexy little foul-mouthed singer that is all the rage (even FameCrawler has a feature inspired by her song, Rehab) has let it be known that her career is second to her real passion, family.

In an interview with The Mirror, she says, "I know I'm talented but I wasn't put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mum and look after my family."

She is recently wed. Looks like baby Winehouses will be next on the agenda.

Naomi and Liev: Where to Hang the Hat

Whit Honea — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 15:09:00 GMT

Naomi Watts and Liev Schreiber are taking every day as it comes. Consider that she is about to pop and they haven't even decided where they want to live, in NYC or Australia.

Says Schreiber, "We're working on it. We're still sorting through it. New York is my home and my inspiration and where all my work is. It's a hard place to live, but it's also such a big part of who I am, I can't imagine anything else. But you get into a relationship and you have to be flexible."

True that, but he sounds a bit partial to the big apple, doesn't he? Something tells me this will be settled the democratic way. They'll live wherever she wants to.

Isla Fisher: How the Hell Did She Hide That?

Whit Honea — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 11:01:00 GMT

Remember just last week when reporting that Isla Fisher and Sacha Baron Cohen were expecting was all rumor and speculation and wizard-sleeve jokes? Well, now that it's official they may as well flaunt it. Either that or she's hiding Sacha's shaving kit in her shirt.

The couple, complete with Starbucks iced something ($4.35), a funny hat and the Borat Bump, were spotted at L.A.'s Gay Pride Parade. I'm surprised Sacha didn't wear his NASCAR racing uniform, it would have been a big hit.

John Lennon: Died Being a Dad

Whit Honea — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 23:00:00 GMT

John Lennon was on a paternal mission the night he was fatally shot, this according to a new interview with Yoko Ono on BBC radio. He was returning from the studio and while Yoko wanted to grab some dinner, John was more concerned about getting home to see their son, Sean. In fact, his last words before encountering his killer were, "let's go home, because I want to see Sean before he goes to sleep."

I'm a Beatles guy. I'm still influenced by their work, especially that of Lennon, to this day. This story just adds to it. Losing Lennon was perhaps the biggest loss to music that the world has ever known, and yet, what it comes down to is even more tragic. A little boy lying awake, waiting for a father's kiss that will never come, and a man, dying in the street, thinking of his son.

Heidi Klum and the Klumettes

Whit Honea — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:32:00 GMT

Heidi Klum, left, went out clubbing with her baby seals, scattered in the arms of everyone but mom. Apparently she has a nanny per child, versus the more common one parent per all of the children ratio that most of us adhere to when running around town. Sometimes mom and dad are both able to go, and then you get all spoiled and shit.

That said, I'm not knocking the nanny. I freaking loved Mary Poppins.

Stop The Presses: Jake and Reese Spotted At Doctors Office! Must Be A Baby!

HerBadMother — Sat, 09 Jun 2007 22:05:00 GMT

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon have been spotted going to the doctor! According to thebosh.com, "the twosome, who have been dating for three months... were spotted leaving a large complex that houses many doctors' surgeries two weeks ago," and now they're at it again! Going to the doctor, that is: "The striking pair recently made a visit to a California medical centre."

This, of course, means that a baby must be on the way. Why else does one go to the doctor? (We all know, of course, that celebrities never, ever get any illness other than 'fatigue.')

It almost sounds like the opening line to bad joke: two celebrities walk into a doctor's office, and the doctor says, hey, are you pregnant? I just read online that you two were spotted walking into a medical clinic moments ago!

And they say, no, we're just here for the Botox, but if you've got any third-world babies on hand we'd consider adopting.

(crickets crickets crickets)

I'll be here all week, folks.
