Singer Jewel Ready for Baby

Karl Erikson — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 14:35:00 GMT

Jewel, the singer that used to be kinda pop but is now kinda country, says that she and her hubby Ty Murray are ready for a family. "I'm giving you the scoop!" Jewel told OK! Magazine. "We're trying!"

Jewel and Ty got married last summer and say they want to make babies a priority. "We both want to work a little less and focus on aspects of life that are important."

The best part is all the practicing involved with making babies.

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 18:05:00 GMT

Country music star Jo Dee Messina and her husband Chris Deffenbaugh have welcomed a son! Baby arrived at 1:01 p.m. January 19 at a Nashville-area hospital. He weighed in at 6 lbs, 15 oz. And what did they name their bundle of joy?

Find out after the jump!

They named him Noah Roger Deffenbaugh, and he's the first child for both and since dad Chris is a woodworker,he made his son a handmade crib and change table. Very nice!

Although the pregnancy wasn't planned, they were pleasantly surprised when they found out they were expecting.

Said Jo Dee, "We knew we wanted to have kids, but we just said, 'Whenever it happens, it happens.' And it happened! We were both surprised at first. It's such a lifestyle change. But then we're like, 'Wow, we're going to be parents!'"

Messina is planning a tour for her new album Unmistakable, and will take baby Noah with her.

"But I'm like, 'How do you do that?' Who rides where? Band? Crew? Family? What safety devices do you need? I might grab one of the other singer moms like Sara Evans or Martina McBride and say, 'Help me!'"

Jo Dee and Chris celebrated their first wedding anniversary in October.

Congratulations!

Jo Dee Messina: Son Going to Be Confused By Music

Karl Erikson — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:36:00 GMT

With Jo Dee Messina expecting, there will likely be a lot of music surrounding the baby. Unlike a lot of mothers, though, she hasn't yet started exposing the baby to any music. You know, plenty of women think babies can hear music in the womb and they blare Iron Maiden while holding the speakers against their bellies, to introduce the child to culture and all that.

Jo Dee's husband, Chris Deffenbaugh, is "a big jazz guy," she says. "So at some point I'm sure the baby will be totally confused by the musical selections being toted around the house!" With country and jazz being played in the house, the kid is likely going to be a huge rap fan.

Calling Jerry Springer: Shania Twain Dating Husband's Mistress' Husband

Karl Erikson — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:34:00 GMT

If there's any way to make country music trashier, then leave it to Shania Twain and her husband Mutt Lange to make it happen. Shania, 43, mother of 7-year-old Eja D'Angelo, is now dating her husband's mistress' husband! Granted, Mutt was cheating first - his mistress, Marie-Anne Thiebaud - is said to have broken up Shania's marriage of 15 years.

While the couple lived in their private Swiss compound, Mutt cheated with his estate manager, who was married. Classy. Shania and Mutt were friends with the other woman and her family. If that wasn't a betrayal, then I don't know what is. But it doesn't stop there.

Now Shania is dating the hubby or her ex's new girlfriend. She was seen at an airport in Florida recently, having lunch and laughing with the dude. Since there isn't a whole lot of paparazzi coverage in Key West, the couple thought they were safe from the cameras. Not so much.

Mutt Lange denies the affair, saying, "The whole story was just a story as we are just friends in the same way Shania and Fred [Theibaud] are."

Um, yeah. Friends. With benefits.

What a lovely holiday story, eh?

Shania Twain's 5 Step Recovery After Cheating Spouse Breaks Her Heart

Sassy Smith — Sun, 07 Dec 2008 16:03:00 GMT

Country music star Shania Twain and her producer husband, "Mutt" Lange announced their split back in May. It was reported that Lange had cheated on Twain with long time friend and personal secretary, Marie Ann Thiebaud, however both denied the rumors. A source close to those involved said, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship." Ouch. So how has Shania handled the last few months?

More photos after the jump!

Star magazine writes Shania's 5 Step To A Rockin' Recovery:

#1 Regain your independence:

According to reports, Shania was very much controlled by Mutt in most aspects of her life. A source said, "He would restrict how much Shania could travel, what she could eat, even which friends she could see!

"He was a very jealous guy and didn't like her associating with her male pals. He is a real loner, and as a result, he tried to isolate Shania as well. Now she's making her own decisions again."

# 2 Improve your body and mind:

Shania had lost weight after the breakup says a close pal, but "she pulled herself together, put the pounds she lost back on, and now she looks absolutely fantastic!

"She loves her curves, and she feels sexy and young again." Shania returned to her hometown of Huntsville, Ontario, and kept busy over the summer, playing golf and tennis and doing yoga. The source adds, "She also spent time talking with a spiritual counselor in the months after the breakup. It was a real comfort to Shania and helped her stay centered."

# 3 Find strength in your family:

Shania brought her 7-year-old son Eja with her to Ontario. The friend says, "She's a fantastic mom, and Eja is her rock. He is the secret weapon that really kept Shania going through her darkest days.

"They spent a wonderful summer together, and now that he's back in his Swiss private school, Shania will be going back and forth between Switzerland and Canada."

Shania is also close to her sisters, Jill and Carrie-Ann. "She always has their 100 percent support and love."

# 4 Don't count out romance:

Twain's friend says that although the breakup was hard, she's not counting out finding love again.

"It took a while, but now that she's feeling so much better about herself, Shania has told her pals that she's ready to get back on the dating scene. She'd even consider a younger man!

"She's not ruling out giving love another chance. I think she'd be thrilled to find a man who would appreciate her for who she is and not try to change her."

# 5 Plan that big comeback:

David Scarlett, senior editor of Country Weekly, said Shania's recent standing ovation at the CMA awards was well deserved.

"Not just because of the respect due to the top-selling female solo artist of all time, but mostly for the sincere affection of the country music community and her fans."

The source adds that Shania is working on a new album that will have songs that address her marriage breakup.

Scarlett adds, "Her comeback could be huge!"

Hopefully Shania and Mutt can have a civil divorce and remember to put their son first.

Josh Gracin Introduces Isabella Sophia to the World

Karl Erikson — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 15:35:00 GMT

American Idol star and country singer Josh Gracin introduced the world to their fourth child this week in US Weekly. He and wife Ann Marie showed everyone 3-week-old Isabella Sophia Gracin and she's gorgeous.

Josh says, "Isabella is the biggest of all our babies, outweighs the others by a pound and a half, and is an inch longer than our other three at birth." Looks like her brother, Landon, will be surrounded by girls on all sides. He has sisters Briana Marie, 6-1/2 and Gabriella Ann, 2.

"With three girls and one boy, I'm afraid our son Landon is going to suffer the same fate as me growing up with four sisters. He's going to have to learn to hold his own!"

That's for sure. I just had the one sister and it was about as difficult getting bathroom time as it is getting a lion to go for the salad bar.

Jo Dee Messina Expecting First Child

Karl Erikson — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 22:03:00 GMT

Jo Dee Messina is preggers and she already knows it's a boy! The country cougar, 38, is married to Chris Deffenbaugh, 28, and they just celebrated their 1-year-anniversary. "We knew we wanted to have kids," she says, "but we just said whenever it happens, it happens. And it happened!"

She found out she was pregnant while in the middle of losing weight. When she saw that her weight wasn't dropping like it should, she took a test and "of course, I found out I was pregnant."

Jo Dee is now in her third trimester. "I've gained about 11 pounds, which is good. I'm staying really fit. I run 30 minutes a day and weight train for an hour, 5 days a week. This is all baby!"

In fact, she's in such good shape, she plans on running a 5-mile race on Thanksgiving Day. "I'll be 8 months pregnant and running," Jo Dee laughs. She wants to be back in shape and ready to shoot the video for her song, "Unmistakable," six weeks after giving birth.

As for a concert tour, Jo Dee is planning to tour next year and, yes, she'll be bringing the baby on the road with her. For now, though, Jo Dee and Chris are getting ready for the new arrival. Chris is an "amazing" woodworker and built their son's crib.

"We painted the room," says Jo Dee. "Chocolate brown, with one wall pale green and one with a square design on it. We got new carpet. We haven’t started the whole, 'Let's go to the store and buy tons of stuff' yet, though. Everytime I think about it I get overwhelmed."

Um, chocolate brown and pale green? Guess there's no accounting for taste, no matter how much money you have.

Mindy McCready Going Back to the Big House

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:44:00 GMT

Country singer Mindy McCready is no stranger to trouble. She's been arrested for a variety of reasons in the past: prescription medicine abuse, DUI, identity theft, unlawful imprisonment, violation of probation, battery, resisting arrest...hell, I could go on and on, but I think you get the point. She is, in essence, the perfect country song. She's even attempted suicide.

Now she's going back to jail for another probation violation. The 32-year-old singer and mother of 2-year-old Zander Ryan McCready will voluntarily surrender to Tennessee authorities and sit in a cell for 60 days.

"I am working very hard to put all of this behind me," Mindy said, "so I can get back to what I like to do most: sing, write songs, and entertain. I would like to thank my fans for their unwavering support as I continue to work on my recovery and to regain custody of my precious son, Zander."

Oh, hon, you're entertaining all right. Just not in a good way. But I'm sure of this...you're PERFECT for the country music industry.

Miley Cyrus Dating Older Man (Probably Be Pregnancy Rumors Soon)!

Sassy Smith — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus is only 15-years-old but the Hannah Montana star is reportedly dating a 20-year-old man. You know what that means - the pregnancy rumors will begin again!

Miley is apparently dating Justin Gaston, an underwear model and aspiring country singer.

A source told OK!, "Miley and Justin were really playful with each other. And for being with her parents, they were extremely touchy-feely. Miley had her hands on Justin's stomach. They definitely seemed like a couple.

"Her parents, Billy Ray and Tish, really gave them space." Uh, space to get cosy?

Sure, a five year age difference isn't much - except when you're talking about a 15-year-old GIRL and a 20-year-old MAN. Hello? She's underage Justin!

Miley's dad, Billy Ray, is the one who introduced them a few months ago. Men's Director, Allen Osborne, at Vision Modeling where Justin is employed said of the young man, "He doesn't drink. He doesn't smoke. He's a very up-and-up guy."

Hmm, well, I know I wouldn't want my teen dating a twenty year old guy. That's just me though.

Miley Cyrus is NOT dead

Karl Erikson — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:37:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus is NOT dead, despite a series of fake news reports on the Internet in the last couple of days. Nobody knows how it started, but there are fake Yahoo News stories, fake Fox News videos on Youtube, and blogs all over the place have carried the story.

I repeat: these are hoaxes. Miley Cyrus is not dead.

The stories say that Miley's car was hit by a truck early Friday morning. Course, the photo above proves this is bullshit. That's Miley at the Stand Up 2 Cancer show.

To make a sick story even sicker, the hoaxers try to pass off a photo of Nikki Catsouras' car crash as Miley's. If you'll recall Nikki Catsouras was an 18-year-old girl decapitated in a horrible accident. Extremely graphic photos were somehow leaked on the Internet.

It's a pretty shitty thing to do, start a rumor like this. And in this case, it hurts not only Miley's family and friends, but those of Nikki, too. There's a special place in hell for people that pull crap like this.

Miley Cyrus Battles More Crazy

Poor MIley Cyrus can't catch a break. First it was those leaked photos, then the catty YouTube video, now it seems a crazed fan got a little too close to the Hannah Montana star.

The incident apparently happened while Cyrus was filming "Hannah Montana: The Movie" in Beverly Hills. According to the National Enquirer, some nutball "slithered up to the teen bazillionaire during a break and - before security could nab him - grabbed her arm, babbled about being a rock musician." He then reportedly pressed a CD into her hand and pleaded, "Give it a spin! If you just listen to it, I know you'll want to record with my band!"

As her guards tackled and rushed the guy off the set he could be heard screaming, "Please!"

Geez - I knew Billy Ray Cyrus was eager to get his music career going again but this just sounds plain desperate.

Miley Cyrus: Saying Goodbye To Hannah Montana?

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 22:33:00 GMT

Did you hear that? It's the sound of millions of pre-teen girls crying at the news that Miley Cyrus' popular Hannah Montana series may be coming to an end. E! Online reported that Cyrus blurted out in an interview, "We're thinking this may be our last season," after which her rep quickly stepped in with, "We do not know if this is the last season."

Cyrus explained that she's been on the popular show longer than viewers might realize: she was 11 when it started and she turns 16 in November. But Cyrus is adamant that any changes would not be a result of her trying to distance herself from her Disney "family."

"I'm still with my family," she says. "You know, they're safe. They always feel like home. And that's what I love about the company. They are family."

With all the scandals Cyrus has generated lately, it seems like the teen star is sending signals that she's ready to move on.

Hello, E! reality show!

Miley Speaks Out

trix — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:46:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus has issued another statement about her Vanity Fair photo shoot on Good Morning America.

Those suggestive Vanity Fair photos were a "mistake," Miley Cyrus says, revealing that she agreed to the risqué shots in an attempt to reach out to an "older audience.""I think I was just in a stage where I was just trying to get things done, and maybe look for an older audience," the singer tells Good Morning America. "I was working with a big magazine just trying to go with what they were saying."
The 15-year-old has said the nearly nude shoot "still hurts," and reiterated that sentiment on the morning talk show, saying she had a "hard time" weathering the slew of criticism that followed.
But now, she "knows what it's like to have people talk about you like you're kind of iron."
"People need to remember that I am young and that I do have feelings, and I'll do the same thing for them," Miley, whose album Breakout is out today, says. "Anyone who was 15 years old can't say they haven't made a mistake. So I think it's just normal."

That's what we've been saying all along. Actually it's kind of hard to say where she's going and what she'll do next since the recently released pictures were taken last November but we haven't see her do anything crazy as of late. Hopefully Billy Ray has taken her well in hand and we will only see Miley doing what other 15 year old girls normally do.

Miley Cyrus Vows To Stay a Virgin

Karen — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:02:00 GMT

I never noticed before, but Miley Cyrus says she wears a purity ring.

"I like to think of myself as the girl that no one can get, that no one can keep in their hand," she told TV Guide.

"Even at my age, a lot of girls are starting to fall, and I think if (abstaining) is a commitment girls make, that's great."

I have a really hard time believing this, given her actions over the last year. Her squeaky clean reputation has taken several hits, mostly due to her posting pictures of herself online.

What do you think - has Miley been living what she preaches? Vote below!

Hannah Montana's Miley Cyrus Ready For Sex After Shower Pictures Surface

Karen — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:50:00 GMT

Oh man, does this kid ever shut up? Honestly. I've seen her speak and I can see the lack of filter. Ugh.

Mere days after her shower pics hit the internet, Little Miss Attention decides to tell the press, that she is ready for "Sex and the City" the tween version. "I'd love to do a younger, cleaner version of Sex and the City," Miley Cyrus, 15, tells TV Guide.

Miley honey, I don't know why your mother hasn't filled you in on the fact that there shouldn't BE a tween version of "Sex and the City." Clearly she is too busy counting your money to be a parent.

From a mother to a young girl, I gotta say this:

Dear Miley,

"Stop pouting your lips like a fish. Nothing about that is sexy. Stop taking provocative pictures of yourself. The only people looking at them are young horny boys and disgusting old pedophiles. Stop video blogging. You act like an idiot, which is all fine and dandy, have fun, but stop posting it on YouTube. Stop talking to the press. "No comment" works. Just shut your mouth. Stop trying to grow up so damn fast, and for goodness sakes, keep your dress down."

Love,

Auntie Karen

and while I'm at it:

Dear Disney, Billy Ray and Tish,

SMARTEN UP.

Miley Cyrus' First Kiss Is Worth A Lot Of Coin

Karen — Thu, 29 May 2008 00:33:00 GMT

This disturbs me. The L.A. Times ran a piece today asking how much Miley Cyrus' First Kiss was worth. You'll never believe this.

Anywhere from $30,000 to $150,000, depending on which paparazzo you ask. A photo's price could be higher if her designated love object happened to be camera-worthy like a Jonas brother, or Shia LaBeouf, not just some cute Kevin Federline-esque wannabe.

No one, not her father or mother, no one would comment on the fact that the paps follow young Miley everywhere, including church. She's FIFTEEN. I've always had a bit of a hard-ass position when it comes to stalking celebs and there's no doubt they've ruined fame for many, but to have a child stalked like this is worse, in my eyes.

I've seen the other end of these cameras and honestly, having 30-50 men following me around as an adult would be unnerving. What's it doing to her?

I maintain that there ought to be laws in place, especially in regards to children.

"Mutt" Is A Real Dog - He Cheated On Shania Twain?

Sassy Smith — Tue, 20 May 2008 18:34:00 GMT

Sexy superstar Shania Twain and her husband "Mutt" Lange announced their split a few days ago. Lange issued a statement to PEOPLE, saying, it was "an unfortunate thing. It's literally just a growing apart, that's all." However, sources close to the couple say that the growing apart was more like a third person involved. How could he cheat on Shania?

An insider says that Mutt allegedly became involved with Marie Ann Thiebaud - she's the woman who managed the couple's chateau in Switzerland and was also a personal, longtime secretary. Now that's low! Says the insider, "Mutt and Marie Ann left their spouses for each other and are still in a relationship."

Lange however, denies the rumor that Thiebaud is the reason for the split, saying, "It's absolutely not the reason [for the separation]." He also denies the affair ever happened. Marie Ann has not made a comment.

I hope whatever the reason for the breakup, this couple can make their separation as painless for their 6-year-old son Eja D’Angelo as is possible.

A spokesperson for the couple said, "This is a private matter and there will be no further comment at this time."

The Grammy-winning performer makes her home in Switzerland and has lived there since 2000. She's been working on a new album set for release sometime this year.

So far, none of 82-year-old Hef's ladies are with child but it seems they all want to be moms. His "main" squeeze, Holly, has made no bones about wanting to marry Hefner and have his babies, but he's not on the same page. Hugh recently said, "I love Holly very much and I think we're going to be together the rest of my life. But marriage isn't part of my puzzlle. It's not a personal thing; I just haven't had much luck with marriages."

Bridget and Kendra also want to become mothers one day - but from the way the speak, I think they realize it won't be with Hef.. Says Bridget, "My goal is to be hosting my own show and be happily married with children, so I've been thinking about that a lot lately."

Kendra has also spoken about having a family. She wants to build up her Kdub clothing brand and be married with kids one day.

Seriously, all attractive young women - I have no idea how they find a very senior citizen sexy. Whatever floats their D cups.

Parents, lock up your daughters until their at least 25 - Hugh Hefner is a creepy old man.

Hefner, honoring Jayde Nicole as 2008 Playmate of the Year Thursday evening at the Playboy mansion, was asked if he would approach Miley Cyrus to appear in his famous mag, and he responded with, "Certainly she'd be welcome to the magazine. She a very pretty lady." He meant of course, when she's uh legal, but still, um, gross.

And a pretty lady? She's fifteen! Did your skin crawl? Mine just did. Is that how Hef looks at the world - particularly girls and women? He imagines how they'd look in his magazine? I'm not a prude, but Hef makes me go, eww.

Hugh continued, referring to the recent Miley photos, "I think to make such a big to do over something as innocent as those photos, I think is a reflection on how schizophrenic America is about sexuality."

Of course he thinks that! He's used to seeing women sprawled out on a bed, or motorbike, or beach, completely naked. And grandpa has like 9 girlfriends, under the age of 30, so he's a little more liberal in his thinking than perhaps the rest of us.

File this under: CREEPY.

Miley Cyrus is pretty determined to regain some of her goody-goody reputation, so inconveniently lost when she decided to post in some suggestive photographs for Vanity Fair.

But instead of just jumping on stage and hollering GOD BLESS YOU EVERYONE at hoards of screaming fans, she's decided to actually do something tangibly good, by participating in a fundraising auction to support breast cancer research.

Miley and her mom, Tish, are helping to raise funds for The Libby Ross Foundation by decorating yoga bags with Swarovski jewels. The bags will be listed on eBay for sale from May 5-15.

Other celebrity mom & daughter pairs taking part are Susan Sarandon and daughter Eva Amurri and Hayden Panettiere and her mother Lesley Panettiere. Courtney Cox Arquette, Leah Remini, Brooke Burke and Ali Landry are also participating.

Miley Makes Public Appearance; Keeps Shirt On

HerBadMother — Mon, 05 May 2008 23:45:00 GMT

Miley Cyrus made a public appearance this weekend, her first since that little incident involving some photographs at some minor magazine. And by all accounts, it was mutual love-in between Miley and her fans, who may or may not have had the permission of their parents to shout adoring things at their somewhat tainted idol.

From People.com:

A week after her controversial Vanity Fair portrait was revealed, Miley Cyrus rocked the stage – and thanked her fans – at the Disney Channel Games concert Saturday night.

"I hope you had an awesome time," Cyrus told the crowd after performing her set. "I saw a sign back there that said, 'Miley, I'm praying for you.' I could not be more appreciative. Thank you guys for all your support. Without you, none of this would be possible. I love every one of you and I could not be more appreciative. God bless you."

I'd really love to think that that MILEY I'M PRAYING FOR YOU sign had a second line in smaller type that read BECUZ U NEED GODS HALP U TRAMP. But that's just me being perverse. I'm glad that she's back on the proverbial horse and invoking God and love and shit and generally getting back to Miley bizniss. Because, you know, our little girls need role models! And if they can't find one in a fallen Disney angel who seeks redemption in concert dollars, well, then, where can they find it?

Young Hollywood Weighs In On Miley Controversy: "She's Exploring Herself"

HerBadMother — Sat, 03 May 2008 14:31:00 GMT

Thanks, Heidi Montag, for that profound insight: Miley's just "exploring herself" under those Annie Leibovitz sheets. That makes the whole thing so much better.

Celebrity parents have weighed in; now it's time for the (quote-unquote) kids: Hilary Duff, the Jonas Bros, Lauren Conrad and, yes, Heidi Montag (none of whom actually qualify as kids, I know, but still: younger than Jamie Lee Curtis) have all had something to say about the matter:

Hilary Duff: "Everyone goes through things and takes their own path... Who am I to judge decisions that she made? ... People are pushing you to do something, and if you want to do it, that's your choice, you know?" she said. "It's not what I would choose to do, but if she did, then that's fine. That's her choice."

Lauren Conrad: "I found it a bit silly... I thought she looked beautiful in the pictures. I didn't find it that inappropriate."

Heidi Montag: (Cyrus is) "a young girl in Hollywood, and she's just having fun — [she]'s exploring herself."

A 'young girl' 'having fun' and 'exploring herself' in 'beautiful pictures' - so what if those pictures were intended to evoke post-coital langour and titillate middle-aged Vanity Fair readers with Humbert Humbert complexes? And so what if she's just fifteen? It was HER DECISION and SHE'S JUST EXPLORING HERSELF.

Maybe you could send her over some of your poly-blend hotpants, Heidi, for her next photo shoot? So that she can explore herself some more?
