Top Chef host Padma Lakshmi is expecting her first baby, an event she is calling a "medical miracle". Lakshmi is a co-founder of the Endometriosis Foundation of America as well as a long-time sufferer of the condition.
Padma hasn't named the father yet, but I was wondering what was up when I saw her on the Emmy red carpet. I figured she moved past eating just the garnish during Top Chef judging segments and had ventured into consuming actual entrees.
Congrats to Padma and the mystery daddy (who I'm sure is a billionaire)!...
When will it end? When I heard that Jon essentially got fired from his family, I thought, "Thank God. I can finally stop writing about him. He's now nothing more than a former sperm donor cast member." Sadly, I was wrong. The newly renamed Kate Plus 8 -- though I think Matthew Gilbert over at boston.com had the best idea to rename the show K'eight -- has run aground all thanks to Jon.
Remember how he decided to stall his divorce so that he could work on building a better relation...
I don't know how to tell you guys this, so I'm just going to say it: James Franco has joined the cast of General Hospital and not just for a one-off. He'll be on this show this fall in a role that has a "lengthy story arc".
I'm confused. I thought the phases of development were supposed to go something like: waiter, extra, soap star/celebrity game show contestant, movie star. Franco has been nominated for Golden Globes. He's been in movies, good movies. Now he's elected to be on a show that once did a story line that involved a weather machine ...
Remember when Michael Vick was first arrested for the illegal dogfighting? He pled guilty and headed off to jail and I think most of us thought that he was done with. We should have known better.
After his stint in the slammer, Michael Vick landed a multi-million dollar job with the Philadelphia Eagles and is now on the roster, at the cost of Hank Bassett. This newest development floors me, however. Nike has taken him back.
Two years ago, Nike ended their endorsement deal with Vic...
I'm just kidding! Jessica Alba has gone red. What do you think of it?
I think I've said this before, but as a rule I think women look best when their hair color is somewhere in the range of what they were born with. Jessica has such a beautiful, dark complexion -- she's so striking -- and red (pink?) doesn't do her any favors, in my opinion.
Alba was out and about in Bev Hills today with her Adorable -- yes, she is Adorable with a capital A -- daughter, Honor Marie. Honor is cl...
Janet Charlton is reporting -- and my only solace is that she was kinda sorta wrong about John Mayer and Kristin Cavallari -- that Ben Stiller and his wife of 12 years Christine Taylor have split up!
It's been common knowledge that they put their $12.5M Hollywood manse on the market, but Charlton claims it's because their marriage is over. According to her, Stiller is devastated and trying to get Christine back, but they are living apart at this time.
Could this be true? I saw Stiller on Ellen about a month ago and he talked so affectionately...
"People in the White House…actually object[ed] to giving the author J.K. Rowling a presidential medal because the Harry Potter books encouraged witchcraft."
Former George W. Bush speechwriter Matt Latimer in his new book titled, Speech-less: Tales of a White House Survivor in which he explains that GWB refused to award a presidential medal to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling because her books were clearly promoting evil.
As an aside: I was looking for a pic of our former Prez and my son...
