March 29, 2023 by Jasper

Love has struck Gina Lollobrigida for the second time. She has announced plans to marry Spanish real estate businessman, Javier Rigau Rafols. La Lollo, as she is better known in her home land of Italy, is 79. Her fiance is 45. They are the latest to join the string of celebrity toyboy couples including Demi Moore (43) who married Ashton Kutcher (28), Madonna (48) married to Guy Ritchie and Kim Cattral of Sex and the City (49) with partner Alan Wyse (26).

The couple says that they met in Monte Carlo in 1984. La Lollo says that she has always had a thing for younger men because they are generous and have no complexes. It began as passion and blossomed into love. They have been dating for 22 years and he has given her a 36 carat emerald engagement ring. They have set the wedding for late this year in New York.

This is the actress’ second marriage. She divorced her first husband, Dr. Miko Skofic, in 1971. She had a son, Milko, from that relationship.

She was Luigina but preferred the nickname Gina since it was sexier. She is the second of four daughters. She began her acting career in the 1940s. She starred in The World’s Most Beautiful Woman (1955), Solomon and Sheba, Trapeze, Never So Few and Come September. The latter earned her a Golden Globe. She also appeared in the US television drama Falcon Crest in the 1980s which earned her a Golden Globe nomination for best supporting actress. She has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood such as Frank Sinatra, Sean Connery and Humphrey Boggart.

On Again, Off Again, On Again

Looks like Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake aren’t the only ones making up again. Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie seem to have buried the hatchet. The two were spotted having dinner together at Dan Tana’s, a West Hollywood restaurant. Paris drove them over to the restaurant where they were seen talking and laughing non-stop. They also left together in Paris’ car. In fact, Nicole Ritchie was seen leaving Paris Hilton’s home the next day apparently after a sleepover.

Hilton and Ritchie recently agreed to shoot another season of the Simple Life. This time they will be camp counselors. Producer Jon Murray says that the stars of Simple Life will be exploring what led to the breakdown in their friendship and maybe clear up even more of the misunderstandings.

Whether it is just for show, publicity or indeed a true rekindling of their friendship, the pair is back in each other’s company and about to be back on TV.

Scary Spice and Eddie Murphy Are Expecting A Baby

March 29, 2023 by Jasper

Looks like there is a baby on the way for Melanie Brown and Eddie Murphy. The former Spice Girl confirmed that she is definitely with child and currently four months pregnant. She says that the pregnancy is leaving her a bit tired and she does worry that she might be having twins since that runs in Eddie Murphy’s family.

This is Melanie’s second pregnancy. She has a daughter named Phoenix Chi from her previous marriage to guitarist Jimmy Gulzar. This will be Eddie Murphy’s 8th child. He has 5 children with his ex wife Nicole, one son with Tamara Hood and another son with Paulette McNeely.

This relationship actually came as quite a surprise to many. The couple met in June and immediately began dating. Eddie Murphy’s divorce had been finalized just that April, one of the Hollywood marriages that had seemed strong. Melanie Brown is better known as Scary Spice but hasn’t had much luck with her singing or acting career since the group broke up in 2001. Eddie Murphy is a well known Hollywood comedian. She’s from the UK, he’s from New York. They seemed to have nothing in common but they do seem happy.

Eddie Murphy’s brother Charlie says, “Eddie seems very happy with her, and that’s what’s important to me. He’s in a good place. If she does that for him then, that’s great.”

The couple is said to be getting married next month though representatives of Eddie Murphy refused to comment when asked about it.

Ms Jackson and Timberlake Reunion

March 29, 2023 by Jasper

It’s been two years since Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake have shared a stage. It finally looks as though they have put “nipplegate” behind them and will be working together to help promote their new albums. The friendship between the two was strained when Justin tore away a portion of Janet’s corset, causing exposure of her breast and nipple ring. It was definitely the most remembered thing about the 2004 Superbowl. It’s been two years and people still remember it.

Word has it that talks are now underway for the two to once again perform together, preferably at something big and live, like the Grammy’s or the Oscars. It is said to be one of the most obvious publicity stunts since both singers have albums that they released last September. Looks like they’ve decided they need to pull off (not literally!) something big to get the public buying more albums.

Still it will be good to see both of these talented artists sharing a spotlight. Hopefully this time there’ll be no more wardrobe malfunctions, hmmm Justin?

In the meantime, Janet is busy working out, enjoying being back in shape. She had gained weight for a role as an aspiring singer in the movie “Tennessee”; the production of which has unfortunately been postponed indefinitely. She’s also busy promoting her current album “20 Y.O.”

Justin Timberlake on the other is busy promoting second album “FutureSex/Love Songs” which was released by Sony BMG last month. It has already produced one hit song, “Sexyback”.

Sara Evans Quits Dancing With The Stars

March 29, 2023 by Jasper

Country singer Sara Evans was one of 11 celebrities chosen to partner professional dancers in the third season of the show “Dancing With The Stars”. Just when it looked like she was doing better, she suddenly quit the show leaving her partner high and dry.

Why the abrupt departure? The singer apologized to the network, ABC, and to her fans who have been very supportive of her. She announced that she had filed for her divorce from husband, Craig Schelske, ending her marriage of 13 years. She felt that she now needed to devote her time to her kids who are aged 7, 3 and 2.

Evans says that she filed for divorce because Schelske cheated on her, excessively drank and watched porn in their home. She also said that he has pictures of himself having sex with other women. Plus he also used their computer to watch more porn and access the internet to find and solicit sex with multiple partners.

Speakers for Schelske’s camp says that Schleske was taken completely off guard by the accusations and would prefer not to discuss this with the media. He said he has decided to forgive Sara and her publicity team for this. He says that they had struggled to come to terms with the changes in Sara over the past year as she dramatically became a different person. He says they failed to deal with it and all he can do is ask people to please pray for her and for his family in this difficult time.

To bad that their laundry couldn’t be handled more discreetly. It would have been nice if Sara Evans could have kept on dancing but everyone does understand that family comes before anything else.
