Breaking News on Broken Hearts

Okay so has Ricky Martin lost all of his high-power celeb status? Because apparently, he hired a surrogate to have babies for him and is now the proud papa to twin babies. And this happened weeks ago which in Hollywood, may as well be a lifetime. And his reps are just coming out with a statement now. Yes, it sounds stunted and confusing because it is. I don’t understand why his reps even came out with a statement because they basically said that they weren’t saying anything. Which generally would be fine but no one was even asking in this case! From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“Ricky Martin is the father of twin boys! Ricky had the children via a surrogate mother, and the babies were born a few weeks ago according to a statement from his representatives,

“The children, delivered via gestational surrogacy, are healthy and already under Ricky’s full-time care. Ricky is elated to begin this new chapter in his life as a parent and will be spending the remainder of the year out of the public spotlight in order to spend time with his children.”

His reps did not provide any further information on the details of the children’s birth.”

So whether he had boys or girls, what their names are or what prompted Ricky to make this huge decision, seemingly alone but who knows? - no one knows. Well his reps might but they’re not speaking on the important matters. It sounds like we won’t be hearing anything else anytime soon either. Well congratulations, Ricky!

As much as I love both of her parents, what were Bruce Willis and Demi Moore thinking when they decided that the child of two of the biggest stars in the world should be named Rumer?!? Okay, now that that’s off my chest, yes, Rumer Willis has indeed begun sparking rumors of her own. The latest (and to my recollection,) the first, rumor to be heard about the young lady is that she’s a lesbian. Because that seems to be the hot topic around the town of Tinseltown lately. From Contact Music,

“RUMER WILLIS is happy to let gossips spread false rumours she is gay, because it gives her something to laugh about.
The single actress, who is the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, insists she is most definitely not a lesbian, but isn’t threatened by the suggestions she prefers girls to boys.
She tells the forthcoming issue of PageSix magazine, “If people call me a lesbian because I have short hair and I wear jeans instead of dresses, then by all means run with it. I think it’s hilarious. I like guys.”

Well, I really try not to generalize and stereotype, especially when I’m speaking publicly but Rumer really does look like a lesbian! I am always sort of confused when I look at pictures of her. She reminds me so much of her mom and yet, I think Rumer is especially unattractive and I think Demi Moore is one of the most stunning starlets Hollywood will ever see. So as to whether she’s gay or not, it doesn’t matter to me but I wish to God she would stop wearing those hideous bubble skirts!

So it’s really big news today that those people got back together…who are they? Oh, that’s right…Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. So, this should be big news to me, as a celebrity blogger, but I really don’t see what the big deal is with these two. I remember thinking the same thing when they broke up and everyone began acting as though they had just lost a member of the family. So for everyone who cares (because apparantly, that’s everyone but me), this is what Celebitchy said about the reunion,

“On again! Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have gotten back together, a source tells Usmagazine.com. “They’ve been talking a lot,” a source tells Us. “Their friends are quite pleased that they’re getting back together and are trying to give them space.”

McAdams recently made an appearance at Gosling’s weekly deejay gig at Green Door lounge in Hollywood. The two began dating shortly after wrapping their 2004 romantic film The Notebook.

“She’s inspired me to do so much,” Gosling told reporters shortly before their 2007 split. “She’s the most discerning person I’ve ever met. She’ll read a script 100 times. She’s relentless.”

After they called it quits, Gosling told GQ that women were “mad” at him. “A girl came up to me on the street and she almost smacked me,” he said. “Like, ‘How could you? How could you let a girl like that go?’” Of their split, Gosling said, “The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin’ and we called it a draw.”

Okay, that last sentence really does make me like Ryan just a tiny bit better because I think sometimes in relationships, that does just happen and it’s eloquently put. But as for these two as a couple, I don’t really care one way or another and I don’t understand why everyone is so thrilled about it! I am completely uninterested and am now moving on.

Here’s another picture of Minnie Driver, who is just about due to have that little bun in the oven. Being one of the few camera shy celebrities, there is still no word yet as to who the baby daddy is. But she is said to be expected to give birth this month. I just love pregnant Minnie! She’s just so darn cute! And I love in this pic how you can see how her belly button’s popped! Aaww! Thanks to Celebrity Baby Scoop for the picture!

It was only a few weeks ago that it broke that Matthew Broderickhad cheated on his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker, after 11 years of marriage. The two try very much to stay out of the limelight and have their entire relationship but immediately after the story broke, the two went on a very public date and made several bad attempts at appearing like a happy couple. It seems that Sarah Jessica may have had enough of the pretending and can’t help but talk about how hurt she is. Celebitchy reports the Sex and the City actress as saying,

“Sarah Jessica Parker says she’d choose shoes over a guy – because they’re more dependable than men.

Talking about her Sex And The City character Carrie, the 43-year-old actress says: ‘She could probably count on a Manolo more than a man. So is it better than sex? Yes!’ she says.

And she says she has no problem walking in towering stilettos.

‘I could run a marathon in heels and wake up the next day and run another one,’ she tells Fabulous.”

Well that’s no surprise for anyone who has seen even one episode of the show. It’s too bad that Broderick turned out to be a cheater too. It really seemed as though they were one of a few celebrity couples that can keep it real and stay true to each other. I think it’s sad that after 11 years of marriage and a child together, that Sarah Jessica has found herself in this situation. Maybe she should write about it…that’s how Carrie always seemed to solve her problems and she could have fun stepping back into her shoes!

Lord knows that I have fully admitted to being callous and just down right mean when it comes to Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. But Roseanne Barr may have taken it to a whole new level. Roseanne is now being accused of going too far when it comes to personally attacking Jon Voight’s daughter and her husband, Brad Pitt. Apparantly, she’s outraged that Jolie hasn’t already personally endorsed Osama in his political campaign and so, she has taken to giving them a personl tongue-lashing in a very public way. Here is a bit of what Roseanne said from FOXNews,

“Your evil spawn Angelina Jolie and her vacuous hubby Brad Pitt make about $40 million a year in violent, psychopathic movies and give away three of it to starving children, trying to look as if they give a crap about humanity as they spit out more dunces that will consume more than their fair share and wreck the earth even more,” Roseanne writes in a post titled “Jon Voight.”

So is the attack against Roseanne fair? Well, I have to admit that when it comes to the couple themselves, I may have said some worse things about them in my time. However, I have never personally attacked their children, and I’ve never brought up Angelina’s father in any sort of derogatory way. So I don’t know. Would this whole thing have gotten this much attention if it hadn’t been Barr who said it? Probably not so we could all probably just drop it.

Just as they’re beginning to make their big comeback, the New Kids on the Block suffer their first blow of media spotlight. Not surprisingly, the one in the news is Donnie Wahlberg, who was once considered the ‘bad boy’ of the group. Wahlberg will soon be divorcing his wife and from the sounds of it, be locked in a nasty custody battle. From the Daily Blabber,

“According to TMZ.com, Donnie’s wife of nine years, Kim Fey, has filed for divorce from the singer, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have two children together, Xavier,15, and Elijah, 6, of whom Kim is asking for sole custody. She is also seeking spousal support.”

It will be interesting to see how the New Kids handle this. I mean really. Here they are, forty year old men who are trying to sing about things such as young love. Now that they are being faced with grown-up problems (because they’re grown-ups,) may force them to take on a more mature sound. I certainly hope so. I think their current style is sort of horrible. Like they’re trying to reach back and gain what they once had even though it’s more than a decade later. Well, I guess Donnie really will be thinkin bout her in the summertime.

Earlier this month, Britney spurned rumors that she was dating a member of her security team, who was actually a photographer. And a dance partner. Yes it sounds confusing and it was but the two were rumored to be the newest hot item when they were spotted dancing under the sun in Cabo. The rumors were quickly squashed and just when people stopped talking, here we are again. Britney in Cabo with a new man. This time it may be someone who’s a little more on her level -financially speaking, anyway. The new man is a fellow billionaire. From Digital Spy,

“Britney Spears has reportedly started dating billionaire hotelier George Maloof.

According to the Daily Mail, the pair enjoyed a relaxing holiday in Cabo San Luca, Mexico, last week.

Maloof is apparently encouraging Spears to relaunch her music career.

“I’m sure George’s billions will come in very useful now that Britney’s father is in control of her assets,” commented an insider.”

Is this where Britney’s going to take all of her men now before making it official? Or just to make people buzz? I’m betting that this villa in Cabo is a place that Britney goes to hang out and relax and not live the Hollywood life for a moment or two. I’m also guessing that she often takes a few of her friends out there with her and that’s all this is. Give it two days and this rumor will be squashed, too.

In an interview shortly before it was announced that he had broken up with Jennifer Aniston, John Mayer had said that he was tired of being followed, “like an animal.” Well then he and Jen split, the world exploded, and people began to follow the singer even more. It turns out that after being caught by some reporters after working out and during the time when his testosterone was at an all-time high, he again became fed up with people’s obsession over his life. He spoke out, quite openly, about the recent split and how he just like everyone else, only wants to be left alone and people to mind their business. As told by Celebitchy,

“It’s the most normal thing in the world, there’s no lying, there’s no cheating, there’s no nothing. If you guys are going to run stuff and run every lie under the sun…”

Have somebody stand up for somebody. Have me as a man who ended a relationship… stand up for somebody write that Jennifer Aniston is the smartest most sophisticated woman I’ve ever met. People are different, people have different chemistry, they have different lives. It’s not about years, it’s about going out with somebody,
being truthful on the way in, being truthful in the middle and being truthful on the way out. You’re either a cheater, or you break up, and I’m not the first, I’m the second one.”

it’s the most normal thing I can possibly tell you. There’s no other element to it. I’m sorry that the story is not interesting, but it’s about time that somebody stand up for that girl.”

Okay so until I read this story, I hadn’t realized that people were ganging up on Jen. And I don’t understand how he thinks he’s making it better by bringing all of this drama on himself by lashing out against reporters. And I always wonder why celebrities think that people should leave them alone. I’m sorry but there are some prices you pay for fame and that’s one of them. There are lines that cannot be crossed as celebrities are people but asking him about his breakup? Not being able to handle that well is just another sign that John Mayer is a child.

Well it was announced on Friday that the nuptials between Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were to be exchanged on Saturday and true to the reports, they were. Unlike other celebrity weddings, where you only hear about it after the fact or it’s so intimate that photographers can only catch glimpses of cars coming two miles away, Ellen opened her doors to at least one photographer to let us in on her gorgeous wedding. Here’s what the Gossip Girls had to say about the celebration,

“According to insiders on-hand, the tight-knit ceremony was attended by only about 20 guests or so, with Ellen and Portia posing for pictures with Ellen’s mom and their dogs, capturing what was an oh-so-special moment.

“They were hugging and kissing, and looked ecstatic,” an onlooker tells Us magazine. “Ellen was helping Portia with the train of her dress, which looked like a Cinderella tutu.”

I love these two separately and I love them together! I think they make such a cute couple and I’m so happy that they could make it official legally. No matter your beliefs, you should always be able to share your love and make that deep commitment to one another. No matter who you are.

As often as Britney Spears is in the news and being quoted on various aspects of her life, her father, who is actually a major part of her life as her conservator, has never spoken about his new role in his daughter’s life. I must say, I was very down on Mr. Spears when this whole thing started because he was asking to be paid for the time spent taking care of his daughter and spending time with his grandchildren (yes, reports were that he actually wanted to be paid for that) but it may seem as though his heart really is in the right place. Celebrity Baby Scoop had pieces of an interview with him where he described the situation in a little more detail,

“We’ve grown a lot,” Jamie said. “I’ve been able to come back into my daughter’s life, and that was an adjustment anyway, because I’m an alcoholic and it’s the first time we’ve really been able to share. I don’t stay here anymore,” he said. “Every now and then, I’ll stay if we have something early in the morning we have to do.”It made no sense for that (custody) trial to proceed so we worked out an agreement,” he said. “The agreement says that on Oct. 1 we’ll probably get another overnight, and that will stay in place until the end of the year or the end of the conservatorship. I do understand that my baby made this monster. But when she was down, people took advantage.”

I’m glad that he has cleared the air on a few of the issues and it makes me see that he probably deep down really is just a father trying to connect and protect his daughter. But I really don’t understand his statement about how his “baby made this monster.” Is he saying that Britney did this to herself? Is Lynne Spears the baby he’s referring to? I’m honestly not trying to poke fun, I’m just very confused as to what he meant by that. Once again though, I say that I’m glad that Britney’s doing so much better and the fact that Jamie doesn’t even feel the need to stay there overnight anymore proves even further that great strides have been taken on the road to Britney‘s recovery.

Well of all the sad breakup stories this past summer, this one breaks my heart. It seems as though Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan, who have been seen as a very hot couple for a while now may be calling it quits. And the reason? Because apparantly Lindsay has decided that she may just be into guys after all. I’m not too sure if I believe this one, especially considering that Lilo just wrote on her personal blog the other day that she “misses Sam because she’s out of town.” But OK! Magazine seems to think that these two are done and that Lindsay is definitely once again going back to the opposite sex. From the magazine, ”

Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson may be inseparable, but following weeks of arguments, friends tell OK! they fear that Linds will leave her DJ girlfriend — for a man. Apparently LiLo has already been flirting with guys, and cracks are seem to be appearing in the relationship.

On August 5 at the Delano Hotel’s Florida Room, Lindsay, 22, cozied up to other men whenever Sam left her side. “Lindsay was laughing and giggling with these guys,” an eyewitness tells OK!. And earlier that day, guests at the Miami hotel witnessed the couple’s repeated clashes.

“Lindsay is the aggressive one in the relationship,” an insider tells OK!. “Sam tries to focus on Lindsay, but it’s never enough.” Another friend adds, “Lindsay has to be the center of attention, or she’ll flirt with other guys to make Sam jealous.”

But back in L.A. on Aug. 6, the pair were “hand in hand and very affectionate” at Crown Bar, and on Aug. 8, they partied for Sam’s birthday. But Lindsay’s friend says, “She’ll be with the next guy who catches her eye — she can’t help it!”

Now, we must remember that the sources here are an unnamed eyewitness and another unnamed friend of Lindsay’s. But if it is true and they do break up, was all of this just a publicity stunt? People asked it throughout their entire relationship and I refused to believe it was true. I just like them together way too much. And if they split up, will Lindsay go back to her party-hardy ways? We can only hope not as young Hollywood already has way too much drama within its realms. There was also talk of a “welcoming to the family” by the Lohans to formally accept Samantha as one of their own although we are talking about the Lohans so that too could have been all for the sake of getting their name in the papers.

It’s no secret that Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have been planning a wedding even before the state of California declared same-sex marriage to be legal. What is just being reported however, is that the wedding is actually going to take place this weekend! Ellen had tried to throw people off, I think, by announcing that it would be in the fall but the paparazzi seem to be too smart for that as it is now being told (to everyone) that it will happen sooner and details such as the location of the ceremony are being leaked. In true Hollywood fashion, the couple plans to get married outside of their luxury estate in front of a chosen few family and friends. As with everything else, Ellen has handled wedding plans with humor and grace. From Daily Mail,

“De Rossi will walk down the aisle in a flowing Zac Posen gown, while DeGeneres is expected to wear a trouser suit.

Speaking of their planned nuptials earlier this year, the multi-Emmy winning TV presenter said: ‘It’s something that we’ve wanted to do and we want it to be legal and we are very, very excited.

‘I think someday people will look back on this like women not having the right to vote and segregation and anything else that seems ridiculous that we don’t all have the same rights.

‘Planning a wedding is very stressful. It’s crazy. My gardener is now invited.’”

I’m very happy for these two and am now just wondering, is Oprah really going to officiate? I guess we’ll find out all the juicy details after this weekend. These two truly seem happy and in love and I think that Ellen is right in saying that it’s ridiculous that the gay community doesn’t have the same rights as everyone else.

So what would you do if you’re eight year marriage was in desperate trouble and one of you has moved out of the country? Well, if you’re Madonna and Guy Ritchie, you adopt! Of course, that only makes sense. The couple plans to adopt a small girl from Malawi and apparantly, the adoption is set to happen very soon. From Sify Movies,

“Pop superstar Madonna is all set to adopt another Malawian child. This time it is three-year-old Mercy James.

Madonna had abandoned the idea of adoption after her marriage to British director Guy Ritchie seemed to be in trouble. But officials confirmed that she has resumed her adoption process, which friends say proves their marriage is back on track, reports thesun.co.uk.

Penstone Kilembe, Malawian adoption minister, said: “Madonna’s representatives have been visiting the girl. The adoption is now advanced - all the government is waiting for is Madonna to forward the petition of adoption formalities. Then Mercy will be able to leave the country for a new life.”

I still think that she and Ritchie will be getting a divorce…despite what her friends say. And that makes this a very, very bad decision. Why can’t stars think about their actions before they just go full speed ahead? Even if they are planning on staying married, this is a marriage that has seen a lot of hardship in the past several months and it will take time to heal whatever wounds there may be and no matter what country this little girl is from, this is not a healthy environment. I think it actually makes it worse that this girl is from overseas. She’s going to be taken from a bad situation and put into one that is so incredibly unhealthy. I think it would be better if Madonna was planning on adopting her after the divorce just because it wouldn’t screw her up nearly as badly. Kids who don’t live their entire lives in poverty are screwed up when their parents divorce and for someone who has already been through so much in her young life, it’s just not fair.

Did everyone (including myself) just assume that John Mayer was the one to break it off with Jen or did we all rely too heavily on that very reliable unnamed friend of Mayer’s who gave all kinds of reasons on why the two suddenly called it quits? Well, Jen has friends too and her friend is saying that it was actually the actress who called it off due to the fact that John has commitment issues. From the Daily Blabber,

“It was “Jen who decided to move on,” says the friend, who is reportedly very close to the actress. “She is very fond of John and has thought he might be the one. She finds him funny, sexy and very talented. … Plus he understands all the aspects of living in a fishbowl. But in the final analysis, she just got tired of his roving eye.”

It seems Jen gave John the “three strikes and you’re out” ultimatum — after finding out about his “quickie” flings with a cocktail waitress and a promoter’s assistant for his concert tour. The he reportedly hooked up with a groupie — and that was the final straw.

Another insider said that Jen is just not interested in wasting time with someone who doesn’t want to be serious. “Above everything else, Jennifer is looking for stability and loyalty in a relationship.”

This actually wouldn’t surprise me at all considering the heartbreak that Jen suffered when her marriage to Brad Pitt ended because he’s a cheating scuzbag. And she is older than John and really, who needs to deal with an immature brat who doesn’t know what he wants when you are ready to move forward in life? On the other hand, the first reports that John broke it off because Jen wanted huge commitments like marriage and babies doesn’t surprise me either seeing as how he is 30 and seems to enjoy sowing his wild oats…still. I don’t know who broke up with who and because their reps aren’t talking (and probably wouldn’t comment or be very biased anyway,) we’ll probably never know. Like I said in my last post though, I am quite happy that these two are no longer together. They looked odd together and I personally think that Jen can do much better.

Okay, well I don’t know that she’s wrecked about it but it seems that Jennifer Aniston just can’t seem to get on the same wavelength as any of her men. She and John Mayer were absolutely the hottest couple of the summer, ever since they went public with their romance in April. The split is rumored to be due to the fact that Jen wants babies and John, who is nine years younger than Jen, doesn’t. However, it’s also being said that this may not be the final word on this hot couple. From Mercury News,

“Rumors of a split were sparked when Mayer traveled to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, without Aniston. He was photographed at one point in a hot tub with a “mystery woman,” who turned out to be the wife of one of his bandmates. Aniston had reportedly planned to go to Mexico with Mayer, but changed her plans at the last minute.

“It is really a cooling-off, not this big, dramatic breakup,” a pal told Us Weekly. “These are mature people whotalk about things maturely,” the pal says. “It’s just slowed down.”

A friend of Mayer told People magazine that a reconciliation isn’t necessarily out of the question: “He never ends things with a clean slate. He likes to dwell on these relationships and sort everything out before saying goodbye for good.”

I really hope that if he does go crawling back to Jen, that she makes the smart decision and doesn’t take him back. I never liked them together as a couple anyway. There always seemed to be something just a little bit off about them. And let’s face it, John Mayer is just one of those boys that’s never going to grow up. Hopefully, Jen knows that she doesn’t have to settle for someone who’s not in the same place as her and if he does come back, I can only hope that she’ll kick him to the curb.

Recent news about Tony Romo continuing to call Carrie Underwood after their big split has had people (well okay, me) wondering if he wants the country singer back. Tony dated Carrie before he began dating his current girlfriend, Jessica Simpson. I think if Carrie and Tony were especially close, calling may not seem all that odd after a breakup. However, reports say that it is not the odd phone call here and there but that he calls her all the time, and that she doesn’t seem to mind it at all. From Contact Music,

“The Before He Cheats singer dated Romo in 2006 before the pair broke it off and he moved on to pop sensation Jessica Simpson.
And the Oklahoma-native admits she’s keen to stay on the receiving end of Romo’s calls, because the pair are so alike.
She says, “We were both small-town people doing very big things, and we relied on each other, dealing with fame.”
But Underwood admits she doesn’t always pick up her ex’s calls: “The phone will ring and it’ll be him, and I’ll maybe not answer.
“You never really know why somebody wants to be around you, or if they do genuinely like you. I wish everyone had a label on their forehead so you could automatically tell their intentions. Sometimes you just wish that no one wanted anything from you.”

Well, I think Tony definitely wants something from her and I’m thinkin it’s not friendship. I wonder how Jessica Simpson feels about all of this. Oh wait - it’s Jessica Simpson. She probably just wonders what that shiny thing is that he keeps talking into.

Whoever said you can’t live off of someone else’s happiness didn’t know Lynne Spears. The cover of her book Through the Storm has recently been released on the Internet and although the book is supposed to be about the life of raising two teen girls, Britney and Jamie Lynn, as well as her husband, Jamie Spears and their son, Brian Spears, only Lynne appears on the cover. I think that this is a true testament as to what the book is really about. It’s about Lynne. And how she is willing to do whatever it takes to exploit her family’s fame as well as their downfalls in order to make the almighty buck. Here is what US says the book is about,

“In this openhearted memoir, Lynne speaks about Britney, Jamie Lynn, Bryan, ex-husband Jamie, herself, and their lives together from Louisiana to Los Angeles, including:

• Lynne’s backseat role in Britney’s path to fame and how it forever changed their family

• Her regret in abdicating parental authority to managers, agents, and record companies

• The challenges that shaped Lynne and Jamie’s marriage and how that affected Bryan, Britney, and Jamie Lynn

• Her response to Jamie Lynn’s pregnancy

• The startling events that led to Britney’s meltdown and Lynne’s showdown with manager Sam Lufti

• How faith, family, and friendships have been her harbor in the storm of paparazzi, tabloid scribblers, and gossip hounds

• Sincere, self-effacing, sometimes spunky, Lynne’s memoir reveals the heart of a mother who has struggled through difficult times and how she has held onto her faith and her sense of humor as she tries to hold onto her family.”

It’s nice that they try to paint a picture of how it revolves largely around her faith but I never think it’s right to use religion as a shield of words when actions speak largely to the contrary. Let’s remember that this is a mother who couldn’t even be there when her pregnant teenage daughter needed her because she chose to stay with her daughter who has a mental condition, even though that daughter was in the perfectly good hands of her father. It’s this same woman who pushed Britney to join dance and singing lessons as well as beauty pageants at the young age of three! It’s this woman that was no where to be seen or heard of as Britney shaved her head, bared it all in public, and came into conflict with the paparazzi. She can call the book whatever she wants but I think we all know what it really is - a cash grab.

We all know that Matt McConaughey has been the most super excited dad that Hollywood has seen in a long time. He has openly spoken about what happened in the delivery room and about how he and Camila Alves were a team in the delivery room and he was rocking and cheering (which he compared to a chant) during the long and hard labor. But there’s excitement and then there’s just plain eeeewwwww. It seems as though McConaughey doesn’t want to let those delivery room memories go as he is planning on having his new son, Levi’s, placenta buried in his orchard. Gross. From Ecorazzi.com,

“New dad Matthew McConaughey is planning to follow a ritual common in some cultures of planting the placenta of a new born. The idea is that the tree is a constant reminder of the child’s life on this planet — growing year by year right along with the newborn. McConaughey, whose girlfriend Camila Alves gave birth to their son Levi in July, saved the placenta after becoming inspired to do so after a trip to Australia.

“When I was in Australia, they had a placenta tree that was on the river … and all the placentas of all that tribe, all that clan, whatever aboriginal tribe that was, all the placentas went under that one tree and it was this huge behemoth of just health and strength,” the actor said in an interview.”

I don’t understand this and I know many people will think that it’s a beautiful ritual but I really do just think it’s gross. And who wants to look at that while they’re planting it? Have you ever seen a placenta? It’s absolutely disgusting! If Matt wants to stay true to his hippie/surfer dude personality, why doesn’t he simply plant a tree in the orchard that can be Levi’s special tree and grow along with him? This is a beautiful way to acknowledge something very special without having to partake in extremely gross and weird activities. I just don’t understand how using something that was inside the mother as fertilizer is beautiful.

So is this a case of dramarama or a battered woman now shrinking away from the authorities help that she so desperately needed? We all know that on Sunday, Hayden’s mom, Lesley, called the cops on her husband for punching her in the face. As if that wasn’t bad enough, it then came out that dear Lesley had been outwardly flirting and causing a scene at the Whaleman Benefit dinner earlier in the evening. I guess she wouldn’t stop and so, she got the standard beating when she got home. Say what?!?!

It then came out that Lesley may have actually begun the fist fight according to someone being called a “spy.” Again I say - Say What?!?! The spy actually says that Hayden’s dad was “trying to put her in her place.” I’m sorry, since when is it okay to hit anyone just because they hit you first? Especially a woman and especially when that woman is your wife!! Who in the world thinks this is okay? Well, apparantly Lesley does. She has now come out saying that the entire thing was blown out of proportion and that the two really do love each other. From the Daily Blabber,

“Hayden Panettiere’s parents, who are mucking up her good dolphin-saving name, are trying to clear the air about Alan Panettiere’s recent arrest.

“It was all a big misunderstanding,” he and his wife Lesley told Extra’s Mario Lopez. “[We] love each other very much and want everyone to know that the matter was completely blown out of proportion.”

I don’t know if this is stupid or sad. I’m not even trying to be cynical here, I really don’t. Is it really just a case of two people who are idiots and don’t know how to handle their emotions or is it the typical battered woman syndrome when the woman always ends up going back to her man. Even if the unnamed “spy” was telling the truth (which regular readers know I always, always doubt), this could still be a very sad situation for this woman and whatever happened, it’s definitely a sad situation for the family.
