Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan is a mom again for the 3rd time. Nancy delivered a 6-pound, 12-ounce baby girl named Nicole Elizabeth yesterday. Nancy is married to StarGames owner Jerry Solomon (pictured with Nancy). Baby Nicole is said to have her mom’s brown hair and long legs, the tape shows her measuring in at 18.75 inches! She joins her big brothers, Clay, 19 (from Jerry’s first marriage), Matthew, 11, and Brian, 3. “The boys are fascinated and Nancy is doing well,” daddy Solomon told the BostonHerald.
Here are pictures from the “Kung Fu Panda” photocall at the Palais des Festivals during the 61st Cannes International Film Festival on May 15, 2008 in Cannes, France. In support of the movie co-stars Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman have done interviews that has everyone talking about Angelina, instead of the movie. Added a few pictures from later in the day, when Angelina appeared for the “Kung Fu Panda” Premiere with Brad.
Somehow all of her Panda co-stars are leaking the details of her pregnancy. Yesterday Jack Black who is expecting his second child any day now,let it slip in an interview that Angelina was having twins, and Angelina laughed, but then said “we’ve confirmed it already [twins],” which may have been an attempt to make Black feel better because he got all wide-mouthed after he realized it was news to the reporter. Then she added, smiling “well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.”
Meanwhile in a separate interview Dustin Hoffman revealed that Angelina is due on August 19.”
During the on-air interview on Today, Jolie said that she would “possibly” stay in France for the births, and that she and Pitt preferred not to disclose the sex of the babies.
The Jolie-Pitt clan have been staying in France at Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen’s historic Florentine-styled Villa Maryland.
Getting on topic a bit, Angelina also said that all of her kids have seen Kung Fu Panda except her “little one, because she wouldn’t sit still” and that they loved it. It is out in theaters on June 6th.
Niger Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality, left, joined Dog and Beth Chapman and their children, Leland, Lissa and Duane Lee Chapman, yesterday to announce that “Dog the Bounty Hunter” would be back on the air in June.
Dog the Bounty Hunter has been given another chance with A&E and will be returning to TV for a fifth season this summer. The show was canceled last November when Duane “Dog” Chapman was caught making racial slurs in a heated conversation with his son who happened to record the call and later sent it to a tabloid. Dog’s comments were aimed at his son’s black girlfriend.
Yesterday, surrounded by his family and civil rights organization representatives, A&E announced the return of the show. Michael Feeney, a spokesman for the cable network had this to say:
It’s not about ratings…We know his heart. We know him and know he’s not a racist.”
Because the show was canceled before all of the 4th season was aired, they will show previously taped episodes in July before the fifth season begins. Filming has already begun on the fifth season, according to executives with A&E, the cable network that broadcast “Dog the Bounty Hunter.”
What do you think, does “The Dog” deserve another chance?
Anne Heche has just been given a temporary break from paying her nearly $15,000-a-month child and spousal support to her ex Coley Laffoon (pictured right).
”I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further. Since January 18, 2008, I have been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short-term contract for a movie role for which I received a total of $65,000, approximately the amount I received for one episode of Men in Trees.”
Anne said that her TV show, Men in Trees, got cancelled, so she’s out of work and out of cash. She has a total of about $35,000 in all her accounts and she’s $364,000 in debt. Anne said she can’t afford to pay her son, Homer’s private school tuition. She is also having trouble paying her Canadian mortgage, L.A. rent, auto and other expenses. The judge said Anne didn’t have to pay her next support payment, but would have to provide updated income and expense information. Being out of work hits everyone hard, even highly paid actors. Especially those that don’t know how to budget their money!
Dolly Parton, is very angry at Howard Stern for a segment he did twisting her spoken words. Last week, Howard Stern and his crew manipulated recordings from a Dolly Parton audio book into stuff that was seemingly racist and sexually graphic. Howard has done this sort of thing before and apparently thought it was worth doing again.
Dolly issued the following statement: “I have never been so shocked, hurt and humiliated in all my life. I cannot believe what Howard Stern has done to me. In a blue million years, I would never have such vulgar things come out of my mouth. They have done editing or some sort of trickery to make this horrible, horrible thing. Please accept my apology for them and certainly know I had nothing to do with this. If there was ever going to be a lawsuit, it’s going to be over this. Just wanted you to know that I am completely devastated by this.”
Howard had better make a public apology quick and hope Dolly has a change of heart because she does have a near slam dunk lawsuit (IMHO).
Here is the clip from Howard’s show (warning it is vulgar):
As we reported here a couple of days ago it looks as though Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have officially broken up at least for now. Many magazines have now picked up the story and their sources are mostly confirming the news. This has got to be “the week from hell” for Jessica.
Saturday, while Tony was in Chicago with his teammates drinking and cavorting and allegedly saying, “Me and Jessica are done.” On the same night Jessica was throwing down cocktails at L.A.’s Mexicali Cocina with her pal, CaCee Cobb, and CaCee’s boyfriend, Donald Faison, according to US Weekly. The news mag also says, Jessica is having jealousy pangs that her ex John Mayer, 30, is now locking-lips with older Friend Jennifer Aniston, 39.
Meanwhile President Bush joked that he wanted to send the “Jessica jinx” to this summer’s Democratic National Convention in Denver, in reference to Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo (who played the worst game of his career as the singer cheered him on) last season when they were an item. You can always count on President Bush to say the wrong thing at the worst possible time!
To add a lot more insult to injury, on Saturday, Jess’s pregnant little sister, Ashlee, is scheduled to marry Fall Out Boy frontman Pete Wentz.
According to the the National Enquirer, Jodie Foster has ended her 14-year lesbian relationship with film producer Cydney Bernard. For several years the two women have worn matching Tiffany eternity rings on their wedding fingers, and Bernard was with the actress throughout both her pregnancies.
While the relationship is an open secret in Hollywood circles, Foster until recently has guarded the secret publicly with great care. Friends say, Jodie has refused to employ household staff for fear that details of her home life would leak out.
Ironically the alleged break-up comes just four months after Foster finally broke her silence about the relationship, for the first time in a speech to a gathering of fellow Hollywood stars in December after collecting an award, she pointedly thanked: “My beautiful Cydney, who sticks by me through all the rotten and the bliss.”
It was her first public recognition of her 54-year-old partner, who shared the actress’s home and the care of her sons, Charlie, nine, and six-year-old Kit.
A source for the Enquirer summarized the situation with:“Jodie’s break up with Cydney is shocking. She and Cydney have been together for so many years and have two children together - the potential fallout and legal wrangling from this could be monumental.”
It wasn’t much of a secret anyway but Angelina Jolie has finally confirmed she’s having twins, but only reluctantly. Jack Black actually spilled the beans to Access Hollywood during a side-by-side interview with Angelina for “Kung Fu Panda, in the animated comedy that they star in together.” Angelina followed up his slip of the tongue, with her own confirmation, but would not reveal the sexes of the babies, nor whether she will deliver in France or not.
