The Killers Are Reproducing: Brandon Flowers Expecting Baby No. 2

sweatpantsmom — Sat, 30 May 2009 22:32:00 GMT

The Killers singer and keyboardist Brandon Flowers and his wife Tana are getting ready for their second child. The couple also have a son, Ammon, who was born in July of '07.

Flowers, who along with his band members are known for their flamboyant outfits and stage shows, recently credited Elton John for The Killers' success."We wouldn't be here if it weren't for Elton John!" Flowers said in an interview with Elle UK. "Coming from very ordinary backgrounds, the glamour was an exciting thing when we started out. It still is.

"It just seems natural for us to be drawn to ostentation. Putting on a suit, a little make-up... it feels the right thing to do."

The Killers, whose current album is Day & Age, are scheduled to headline Lollapalooza in August.

Congratulations to the expectant parents!

Elton John & Partner David Furnish To Be Dads?

Sassy Smith — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:06:00 GMT

Singer Elton John, 62, and his partner David Furnish, 46 - who have been together for nearly 16 years, and were joined in a civil partnership in 2005 - are godparents to 10 children. Would the couple ever consider having children of their own?

Probably not. They are content with their lives and they're both really busy.

David said to PEOPLE, "I don't think our lives are suited to raising children. We're busy flying places all the time.

"Elton is not really going to come off the road. We don't want to put the raising of children into the hands of nannies and housekeepers. We want to be active parents. We have godchildren [and] kids that we support in Africa, so we're fine."

Elton and John are godfathers to the children of Victoria & David Beckham and actress Elizabeth Hurley.

Madonna's Insane Airport Security Fashion Choices

Karl Erikson — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 14:38:00 GMT

Um, I don't really want to make fun of anyone, especially Madonna. Oh, wait. Yes I do.

Would you LOOK at this outfit she's wearing in the security check-in line at the Berlin airport? WTF?

Clearly this is a woman who is not used to lowering herself by flying commercial. God forbid she should actually, oh I don't know, get DRESSED.

I swear I want to be a gajillionnaire so I can leave the house in whatever the hell I want and not give a shit.

I give up. Every joke on this photo is far too easy. Give me something I can work with.

Madonna's Secret Pre-Concert Rituals

Madonna & Britney Sticky & Sweet

Almost Like a Virgin - Happy 50th Birthday Madonna

Madonna's Secret Pre Concert Rituals

Karl Erikson — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 17:34:00 GMT

Madonna's Sticky and Sweet concert tour is officially underway. Yep, she's 50 and she can still work it like a virgin. OK, would you believe material girl?

Being on a major world tour is a lot of work, and a lot of time away from home, so Lourdes is often with her on the road. I wonder what it's like to have Madonna for a mom? I mean, do you freak out every time she sneezes, just like the rest of the world does? Do you still roll your eyes at her and pretend she's not cool, just like the rest of the world does? Is Lola texting her friends with "OMG. U wld not blv teh crap shez wearing 2da"? Hey, you don't wonder about this stuff? I do.

For Lourdes, being around musical gods is no biggie. In fact, she was around for the second date on her mom's European tour recently when Elton John and Bono were watching the show. I know! I was surprised to hear that, too. What happened to the bitchslapping session between Madonna and Elton John when he accused her of lip-syncing a few years back?You can't depend on blood feuds lasting long enough these days, I swear.

Madonna is definitely Mommy, though. Backstage at her shows, there's a kids' playroom right next to her dressing room. As for her little pre-show rituals, Madonna likes to get a massage and facial before she hits hair and makeup. Then she likes to do some exercise and get centered with her eery third Kaballah eye, located oddly enough just below her left nipple. She calls it Madge.

OK, I may have made that last bit up.

About the exercise.

Tom & Katie Spotted TOGETHER! Smiling!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:37:00 GMT

So all of the internet rumors must be just that - rumors. Right? Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes sure look happy in these pics!

More photos after the jump

Posh, who celebrated her 34th birthday - with like 45 parties - threw another at Via Veneto restaurant in Santa Monica on Sunday and guess who was there? That's right, Tom and Katie. Together. As in they're not breaking up? And I guess that also means that Posh and Katie are still BFF's?

Holmes actually looks normal in the photos - not her usual robotic self as of late. Maybe there's hope that Tom Cruise is becoming normal? Oh surely I kid.

Also attending the dinner: Will Smith and wife Jada, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Kate Beckinsale, Elton John, Eva Longoria and Diddy.

Liz Hurley Pregnant?!

Whit Honea — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 23:47:00 GMT

Start your rumor mills! Liz Hurley is apparently abstaining from alcohol and wearing tummy-friendly outfits. Elton John added to the speculation by rubbing her tummy and raising an eyebrow.

According to Life & Style, “Elton kissed and hugged Elizabeth and congratulated Arun. They seemed to be giggling over their little secret.”

Spread at will.

Gwyneth Paltrow Stole My Prom Dress

HerBadMother — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:22:00 GMT

That's not my belt, though. I thought that wrap leather belts were totally fug even way back in the late eighties, when I thought - wrongly - that hot pink outfits were acceptable as an everyday fashion option.

Still, she looks pretty good. Even in strapless, which, you know, I woulnd't have thought she could carry off. So even though you would never use the acronym MILF to describe Gwynnie - becuase, really - you gotta admit that any woman who can wear hot pink strapless prom dressed with black leather wrap belts and co-ordinating accessories and not look like a complete idiot is doing not too badly.

GQ Presents the Most Whipped Husbands in the WORLD!

Whit Honea — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 22:34:00 GMT

GQ has compiled a list of men that have been subjected to the proverbial "p" whipping by their bossy and/or powerful women. Many of them are fathers as well. I think there is a big difference between being a dotting dad and wuss, I hope GQ took that into consideration.

That said, here's the list:

25. Mark Consuelos, wife Kelly Ripa
24. Rudolph Giuliani, wife Judy
23. Larry King, wife Shawn Southwick
22. Michael Douglas, wife Catherine Zeta-Jones
21. Seal, wife Heidi Klum
20. Kevin Smith (the Clerks director), wife Jennifer Schwalbach
19. Sergay Brin (34-year-old Google wunderkind), wife Anne Wojcicki
18. Ben Stiller, wife Christine Taylor
17. Gerald Levin (the former CEO of Time Warner), wife Laurie Perlman
16. Jack Welch (the former General Electric chair-man and CEO), wife Suzy Wetlaufer
15. Tim Burton, wife Helena Bonham Carter
14. Keith Urban, wife Nicole Kidman
13. Elton John, husband David Furnish
12. John Edwards, former presidential candidate, wife Elizabeth
11. Woody Allen, wife Soon-Yi Previn
10. Ashton Kutcher, wife Demi Moore -he's top 5 for sure
9. Howard Stern, wife Beth Ostrosky
8. Rupert Murdoch (Aussie billionaire), wife Wendi Deng
7. Kurt Warner (quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals), wife Brenda
6. Marc Anthony, wife Jennifer Lopez -shouldn't he be higher?
5. Josh Kelly, wife Katherine Heigl
4. Bill Gates, wife Melinda
3. Eminem, wife Kimberly
2. Doug Christie, wife Jackie
1. Guy Ritchie, wife Madonna

There is a slideshow at GQ that explains why each man made the list. It's pretty funny, at least it seems like it is, my wife wouldn't let me read it.

Catfight, Round One! Elton John vs. Madonna

Karen — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 17:33:00 GMT

Elton John was furious that Madonna decided to host an Oscar's party on the same night as him. He had a bunch of A-listers invited, but she pulled together a party in a matter of days and some people decided to head to her place instead.

Meow! Battle of the Queens!

At Elton's Bash: J.C. Chasez, Lionel Richie, Simon Cowell, Larry King and Sean Penn.

Seen at Madge's: Cameron Diaz, Demi & Ashton (who ditched Rumer, for OBVIOUS reasons - BUZZKILL!), Drew Barrymore, Owen Wilson, Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes. Wait, wasn't TomKat at NASCAR?

"Elton DESPISES Madonna and this has made things way worse," a source said.

Oh but there's another catfight to report - STAY TUNED!

Katie Holmes Has a Tiny Shadow Dancer

Whit Honea — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 18:38:00 GMT

Where, oh where, oh where is shadow?

Katie Holmes waited patiently for Wendy to sew Tom's shadow back on so he could thrill the crowd at the Bambi awards.

I think Tom should have walked on stage and declared that man has entered the forest. I'm sure by the time he went on the audience was already sick of refrences to Thumper.

Elton John and Joey Fatone Star in The Curse of the Britney Spears

Whit Honea — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:35:00 GMT

warning: potential curse ahead

Elton John, who just recently offered his soft shoulders for Britney Spears to cry on, donated some photos to an art gallery that have him in a bit of trouble. Apparently at least one of the photos, by photographer Nan Goldin, are of nude little girls in poses that aren't, um, natural. It's not child porn, it's art, according to Elton.

You see what happens, just thinking of Britney makes you go crazy. If you've read this, I advise you think twice before committing any reckless or lewd acts today.

It is because of this "Britney Curse" that I am fearing for Joey Fatone.

Joey as also offered his slightly firmer shoulders to Britney as well. Yes, I know most people just require one shoulder to cry on, but come on, this is Brit Brit we're talking about.

Says Joey, "Poor girl, she needs some help. Come over to my house and my wife’ll whip her into shape. Come back to Orlando and take a break for awhile, from LA and stuff."

And now Fatone has dragged his wife into it. I really hope they're able to keep themselves out of trouble. I think the curse wears off in 48 hours.

Now if you'll excuse me, I feel some crazy creeping up in me. I better go lie down.

Elton To Britney: Stop Living Your Life Like A Candle In The Wind

HerBadMother — Tue, 25 Sep 2007 18:33:00 GMT

Elton John has offered to help Britney Spears overcome her problems, by providing her with a place to stay and a shoulder to lean on while she addresses her substance abuse issues and her trainwreckedness in general.

"(Elton) has decided enough is enough and reckons he has plenty of experience in the business to help her,” says a source. “He feels sorry for her because she had fame at such a young age and hasn’t handled it well.”

Elton, of course, has his own long history of substance abuse, and has helped many other celebrities - including Robbie Williams and Donatella Versace - as they struggled to overcome similar difficulties in their lives.

Still, one wonders: could Britney even handle an Elton intervention? I'm guessing that he doesn't serve fried chicken, burritos and Slurpees at his palace in Nice. And I'm willing to bet that the place isn't childproofed - somebody might want to point out to him that it only takes one wayward toddler to utterly destroy an entire collection of oversized Royal Doulton figurines and to deface a collection of Louis XIV secretaires with crayon. And then there's the matter of that little dog of Britney's, and her unwillingness to stoop and scoop...

He might want to rethink his offer. Or maybe just park a nice double-wide trailer outside the palace, and let her stay there.
