The Sweetest Pictures From Reese Witherspoon’s Very Big 2011

Stephanie Seymour showed off her supermodel figure on the beach in St. Barts yesterday. She’s there on her annual holiday vacation with family, including on-again husband Peter Brant, and their kids. Stephanie raised a few eyebrows during last year’s trip, when the bikini-clad model kissed and cuddled with her 17-year-old son Peter Jr. on the beach, though they were quick to shoot down any detractors saying that they are simply very close. Later in the year, Stephanie said that she had been feeling insecure over a 10 lb weight gain, so played up the affection with Peter Jr. to detract attention from that. Since then, Stephanie says she’s been working out and was looking fantastic as she enjoyed the tropical weather with friends. View Slideshow ›

Excerpt from:
Stephanie Seymour Sports Another Sexy Swimsuit in St Barts

Poor Sinead O’Connor. She went off her bipolar meds (really she did and she admitted it , I’m not just saying that) and then went trolling on the Internet for a good lay . Once she found one that stuck around for more than a couple of weeks, she married the dude in Vegas and invited the paps. Sinead got married on her 45th birthday to a 38 year-old “addiction counselor” she’d known less than two months. The happy couple made it official at the Little White Wedding Chapel, arriving in a convertible pink Cadillac. The bride wore a strapless pink dress, and the groom a suit with a pink dress shirt. Their happiness is a distant memory now, as Barry and Sinead split up, probably around the holidays. She made the announcement on her website in a long letter that I found pretty interesting. Like she anticipated what people would say and she explained herself without going into too many details. Sinead and Barry didn’t even live together for a week. I had for reasons u will all understand, wished to keep this private but have been told today it is to be leaked in the next few days despite my best efforts. So I must now leak it myself so as the record is straight. I won’t under any circumstances ever have any further comments to make on this matter than those I write here this evening. Either privately or publicly. From the moment myself and my husband got together not long ago, there was intense pressure placed upon him by certain people in his life, not to be involved with me. These were people who had never met me but had formed opinions of me based on what they read about ‘Sinead ‘O’Connor’ in the media etc. Entitled as they are to their opinions about me many perhaps well deserved, there was no righteousness on anyone’s part to put my husband through what he was put through as a result of his desire to be with me and to marry me and as a result of his actually marrying me. Within 3 hours of the ceremony being over the marriage was kyboshed by the behaviour of certain people in my husband’s life. And also by a bit of a wild ride i took us on looking for a bit of a smoke of weed for me wedding night as I don’t drink. My husband was enormously wounded and very badly effected by that experience and also by the attitude of those close to him toward our marriage. It became apparent to me that if he were to stay with me he would be losing too much to bear. And that being with me was not going to serve him positively , career wise or any other wise. I saw his life leave him because of how people close to him reacted. And I can’t take anyone’s life. And a woman wants to be a joy to her husband. So.. U love someone? Set them free. He is a wonderful man. I love him very much. I’m sorry I’m not a more regular woman. I truly believe though it is painful to admit, we made a mistake rushing into getting married, for altruistic reasons, and weren’t aware or prepared for the consequences on my husband’s life and the lives of those close to him. He has been terribly unhappy and I have therefore ended the marriage. I think he is too nice to do so. And too nice to trap. He is as I said, a wonderful man. We part amicably. I wish him to be free and happy and loved and supported and for him to have privacy as that is utmost important for his job and for the children he treats as a therapist so I plead on theirs and his behalf for media to please leave him and his family alone. I really beg this. His family have health issues also and they not need the stress. Please do not doorstep them. Please be considerate of their feelings and leave them and my husband alone. I repeat this is of UTMOST importance to the wonderful children my husband helps every day. his work is his life. Publicity over all this could jeopardise his job. Please, don’t do that to him. or I will have that on my conscience as well. he is a private person. I’m fair game. He or his family are not. Meanwhile I intend to get on with being fully me. With never an apology for ANY part if being FULLY ME. No matter what. I am a 21st century full woman and proud of living it. I am in a very good and happy and strong place in life so I am doing fine. The marriage was 16 days. We lived together for 7 days only.. Until Xmas eve. And we haven’t been awful to each other. So while I feel sad for my husband, and sad to be the cause of sorrow to yet another poor man, I’m also happy that I know we weren’t horrible to each other and he is better off free. And that I can be me. And that’s a freedom I can’t give up for anyone or anything. Neither should my husband or anyone else. Please pray for my lovely husband to be ok and do not worry about me as I have had plenty of practice in these matters. I am in a good place in life. And happy. I believe in and am committed wholeheartedly to happiness. Nothing knocks that. My only concern is that my husband be happy. As my good friend said “well, at least you got married in Vegas in a pink Cadillac! Can’t get more Rock n Roll than that”. so now u can all go ahead and have a great laugh, media wise, and be horrid if u desire to. But that’s my record set straight. [From Sinead O'Connor's website ] Sinead has plenty of practice since she’s been married three times before. So what happened? I’m guessing that this dude has an ex wife and children and that the ex wife threatened him that he couldn’t see his kids. I can also come up with a mother-in-law scenario, but moms don’t hold as much pull as exes with kids usually. Plus Sinead is probably batsh*t and very difficult to deal with, and maybe this guy is a whack job too. If he were sane he never would have married her so soon in the first place. My favorite title to this story is on Fark , where they point out that “ Sinead O’Connor’s fourth marriage barely lasts more than seven hours and fifteen days .” It probably didn’t even last that long. Sinead and Barry are shown on their wedding day, December 8th. They’re also shown on December 18th in Dublin outside a show. Credit: Pacific Coast News and WENN

Sinead O’Connor is getting divorced after less than a month: predictable?

Bringing her good looks to another publication’s front page, Beyonce Knowles adorns the cover of the Winter Arts & Entertainment issue of Jones magazine. The expecting singer pose for an elegant spread shot by Greg Gex with the shoot having taken place at the Meurice Hotel in Paris, France. In the accompanying interview, Beyonce spoke about her thoughts on raising a child – as she’s currently expecting her first little one with husband Jay-Z . The 30-year-old dished, “I believe that parents prepare their kids for the moment that they’re on their own: at this point, I am taking everything my dad and my mother have taught me, and I’m able to do things my way.”

Well, this was a long time coming. Mel Gibson and Robyn Gibson’s divorce has, at long last, been finalized. Mel and Robyn were married for nearly 30 years, but she started divorce proceedings on Mel back in April, 2009 . Between that time and now, Mel impregnated Oksana Gregorieva, and they had a baby girl. The custody dispute between Mel and Oksana took less time than Mel and Robyn’s divorce. Would you like to know why? Because Robyn was getting PAID. Mel Gibson is now legally single after his divorce was finalized Friday in a Los Angeles courtroom, but bachelorhood came at a heavy price. Robyn, his ex-wife of nearly 30 years and the mother of their seven children, is walking away with half his fortune, once estimated to be as high as $850 million (according to the Los Angeles Business Journal in 2006) in what is considered the biggest divorce payout in Hollywood history. Because the couple didn’t have a prenuptial agreement, Robyn, 55, was legally entitled to half of everything he earned during their marriage. Among Gibson’s estimated assets: more than $600 million grossed by The Passion of the Christ alone; $100-plus million in real estate investments worldwide (he bought an island in Fiji for $15 million in 2005); and $75 million for film and TV projects for which Gibson, 55, executive produced. It appears some of his wealth has already been transferred to Robyn, in particular two Malibu homes worth a combined $22.5 million. As for film residuals, Robyn is entitled to half of every future check Gibson receives for the rest of his life. “I left my wife because we had no spiritual common ground,” Gibson told his then-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva in secretly recorded tapes she made of the actor in February 2010. During his custody battle with Grigorieva, in which the Russian musician accused Gibson of domestic violence, Robyn filed a sworn statement in July 2010 stating that “Mel was a wonderful and loving father” and never abused Robyn or their kids. Gibson met Robyn, at the time a dental nurse, in the late 1970s after the American-born actor, who moved to Australia when he was 12, had filmed his breakout role in Mad Max. [From People ] You know what? After 30 years with that alcoholic, anti-Semitic, violent POS, Robyn deserves every penny. I always thought that she came out and claimed that Mel had never been violent with her because it was part of the divorce negotiations. Robyn battled hard for the money, and she got what she wanted.

Mel Gibson’s divorce finalized, Robyn Gibson walks away with $400 million?

As you may be aware Linda Hogan, 52, has been dating a kid from her son’s peer group, who actually resembles her son and went to school with him. Linda and her boy toy, Charlie Hill, have been together for at least three and half years , and we heard last year that they were engaged . (This of course thrilled Linda’s ex, Hulk Hogan , as it meant that his alimony payments might eventually cease.) Linda and Charlie haven’t made it official yet, perhaps due to those sweet alimony payments, and are of course having relationship problems. Unlike similar January-December famewhores Courtney Stodden and Doug Hutchison , Linda and Charlie know their place and have accepted roles on a VH1 ensemble reality show. They’ve filmed a bunch of episodes for a show called “Couples Therapy,” (not with Dr. Drew) which will air in March. The best part of this story is the anecdote about how Linda’s boyfriend went out clubbing with her despicable 21 year-old son, Nick. Charlie ended up going home with another old broad and Nick ran home crying to his mommy about it. Linda, 52 – the ex-wife of wrestler Hulk Hogan – and unlikely lover Charlie Hill, 23, will hash out their issues with psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Berman on the VH1 reality series “Couples Therapy,” which is scheduled to debut in mid-March. “Linda and Charlie’s relationship is littered with dysfunction and they’ve split up and gotten back together numerous times,” a family friend told The Enquirer. “Not long ago, Linda got so fed up with Charlie that she actually paid him to get out of her life. But she had a change of heart as soon as she learned Charlie hooked up with someone else.” As the Enquirer reported in November, Linda grew weary of her freeloading young fiance and sent him packing from her hilltop house outside of Los Angeles. But Charlie got cozy with another cougar at an L.A. club soon after getting the boot, and the Hogans’ 21-year-old son, Nick, who was also at the club that night, went back to Linda and “blabbed about everything,” said the friend. “As soon as Linda heard that her shoes had been filled so quickly – and with another older woman – she went ballistic!” But the anger quickly turned to jealousy and she pushed him to get back together. When the VH1 producers of “Couples Therapy” got wind of Linda and Charlies ongoing relationship struggles, they convinced them to do the show. “Linda and Charlie are more than halfway through raping the series,” the friend added. “While they appear to be working things out, it’s unclear whether their romance will last.” [From The National Enquirer , print edition, January 2, 2012] Trash to the E. So maybe Nick and Charlie weren’t partying together and Nick just happened to be at the same club. Either way, it’s gross. TMZ confirmed last week that Linda and Nick would be on this show, which they claim is titled “Relationship Rehab.” I might actually watch a couple episodes of this, if only to gawk at how absurd these people are. At least Charlie was technically legal when they first hooked up. Look at how matchy matchy these two are. I guess when you buy all your boyfriend’s outfits it’s easy to make sure you coordinate. A lot of moms do that with their kids. These photos are from 10/9/10 (black outfits) and 9/12/09 (short skirt) credit: Josephine Santos/Pacific Coast News. Matchy fur and fringe photos from 1/17/09.

Angelina Jolie ‘s work with the UN, in addition to making In the Land of Blood and Honey , has exposed her to tough subjects like war, and she spoke with Anderson Cooper about explaining violence to her kids. Another challenge she realizes is coming around the bend is talking to her six little ones about her own past wild ways - including wearing a vial of blood around her next! Of her own out-there behavior, she said, “I know it’s going to come back at me very soon with my children.” See what Angelina said to Anderson with a laugh.

Angelina Jolie’s Ready to Explain Her Former Wild Ways to the Kids

We’ve seen J.Lo and her 24 year-old backup dancer boyfriend on vacation with her kids in Hawaii and we’ve seen them kissing in “candid” photos . Each of those photo ops were captured by just one photo agency, so now comes the big rollout. Lopez and Baby Doucheface were seen visiting a jewelry store in Calabasas, CA yesterday. It’s unknown what they purchased inside, but they exited separate and staged some evasive maneuvers while leaving in order to make it seem like they didn’t call the paps. It looks like Lopez just picked the perfect Christmas gifts for herself: a young piece of ass, a nice piece of jewelry and another public “f you” to her ex. Do you think this trip involves any sort of engagement ring? I’m hoping not. She already has a huge rock on her right hand that she wore into the store. Look, she’s holding it up for us. At first I thought that Lopez had gifted this tricked-out white Bentley convertible to Smart, but a careful read of this TMZ article reveals that she’s just been letting him drive it without her. This of course pisses off her ex, Marc Anthony, who has told Lopez that Smart can’t drive with their three year-old twins in the car . Anthony is understandably protective of his children, especially since Smart has a criminal record after being arrested for speeding and driving on a suspended license. That doesn’t seem to bother Lopez, though, she’s thinking with her ego and making sure the public sees that she’s desirable to one of her young employees. As Bedhead mentioned on Friday , Lopez allegedly got mistaken for Smart’s mother while ordering at McDonalds, which caused her to storm off without her Filet o’ Fish. The kid looks about 16 years old, it’s an honest mistake. Speaking of kids, Lopez is part of the “Big Stars, Big Giving” special on CNN. She started a foundation in 2009 with her sister to provide medical services for needy children. It’s called the Maribel Foundation , and is named after of Marc Anthony’s sister who died at the age of 8 from brain cancer. Lopez told CNN that she was inspired to start the charity after experiencing a medical scare with her daughter Emmme. When Emme was a few days old, Lopez found a lump on the baby’s head. Everything turned out fine, but Lopez explains that freaked out about it and thought “ What if I didn’t have access to great health care? What if I was a mom just sitting there and there was something wrong with my baby and there was nothing I could do about it ?” That’s nice of her to start a charity, although the cynic in me thinks it’s for tax purposes. I’m honestly surprised this is the first I’m hearing of this charity. I tried to look it up on a few different charity review sites like Charity Navigator , The Better Business Bureau Charity Reviews and Give Well , and it’s not yet rated. Given the track record of other celebrity charities, I think it’s safe to take a wait and see approach. Photo credit: Fame

Making good on his promise, Justin Bieber made his way to Whitney Elementary School in Las Vegas yesterday (December 16), where the pop phenom performed a holiday concert and donated much needed funds. Making for quite the special performance, the 17-year-old belted out acoustic versions of the songs from his current Christmas album including his hit track “Mistletoe.” However, the Biebs did more than offer up his vocal talents, he also cut the struggling school a check for $100,000 – a gift he pledged to make while on the “Ellen DeGeneres Show” last month. Additionally, Justin showered the kids – most of whom are homeless – with another $100,000 of presents. After completing his good deed, the “Baby” singer tweeted, writing, “Thank you las vegas and thank you @theellenshow for a day I will never forget. #giveback.”

Remember those kooky masks Michael Jackson used to use to hide the faces of his children? Well Paris Jackson thought they were kooky too – even calling them stupid! Michael’s daughter Paris spoke to US talk show host Ellen about what it was like growing up with her famous dad, and how over time she grew to understand his protective measures. And that protection paid off — apparently the kids at Paris’ new school didn’t know about her famous family when she arrived. Now Paris says that she lives a relatively normal life. But that could soon change, as the 13 year-old has decided to pursue a career in acting! Paris will play a role in the upcoming fantasy film “Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys.” It appears that Michael’s unconventional methods paid off. Paris and her brothers are growing up nicely!
