How tedious – an amicable split. Where is the drama? What about us the bloggers? Where is our story? Amicable split: it’s plainly untrue of course. The relationship must have been stressful and unhappy.Otherwise why the split. Ok, maybe the split is amicable, but the relationship wasn’t. Whatever…
Last year, according to the Daily Mail she said: ‘The children absolutely adore each other. They’re great siblings, and as a family we’re a solid little unit and extremely close.’
Didn’t take long for it to all come tumbling down.
I find it hard to believe that a woman who barely moves her face, and who was completely unconvincing in the sexual thriller Eyes Wide Shut, said this:
‘I’ve explored obsession. I’ve explored loss and love in terms of being in a grief-stricken place, I’ve explored strange sexual fetish stuff, I’ve explored the mundane aspect of marriage, and monogamy,’ Kidman said.
‘You work on it,’ she went on of marriage. ‘It’s a very extraordinary, adventurous place to be: incredibly raw, incredibly dangerous and you’re very much out at sea. You’re exposed. You could drown.’
‘When you commit to someone like that, you live and die together by that decision.’
The excerpt is from GQ is in The Daily Mail.
The beautifully pregnant Klum, who is married to singer Seal, says she is not concerned about regaining her toned body after this baby’s arrival.
If you look like this, it doesn’t matter what body you regain, does it?
This photo was taken in her third month of her fourth pregnancy for a magazine called Page Six. She told the magazine: ‘It’s bizarre. Just as it’s a miracle that you can grow a human being in your belly, it’s a miracle that your body goes back to normal again…I don’t think you ever get back to exactly the way you were, but you do get close. And I’m happy with that. Especially when you see your kid for the first time.’

So appropriate. Keith Floyd had a lunch of champagne and oysters before he died on Monday night. He had told his friend Celia Martin that ‘I haven’t felt this well for ages’.
They spent the day together celebrating her 65th birthday. “The flamboyant TV chef, cigarette in one hand and glass of wine in the other, spent a leisurely lunch with long-time friend Celia Martin to celebrate her 65th birthday,” according to the Daily Mail.
The British papers, especially the Daily Mail, are full of stories of bikini-clad women, burnt faces, and face works. How many more times must we see unflattering pictures of the beautiful Kate Moss? “How to get Putin’s pecs” tops my list of must-do British holiday reading.
In the US, Obama’s critics are being left to run wild with all kinds of deranged accusations and misinformation, mostly about the health care plans. Although I am sure a holiday is much deserved, perhaps he shouldn’t join the rich and famous in Martha’s Vineyard (paying more than $25 000 in weekly rent), and rather stay in Washington and temper the madness that is some of right-wing America.
Here is the Obama family looking out over Hopi Point as they tour the Grand Canyon in Grand Canyon National Park, yesterday.
A few short weeks ago Mercy left her home country, Malawi, to join her new family in New York. The singer was quoted on BBC: “I am extremely grateful for the Supreme Court’s ruling on my application to adopt Mercy James. I am ecstatic… My family and I look forward to sharing our lives with her.”
And here they are – Madonna took her children to Paris this weekend and they were spotted having lots of fun. No sign of homesickness here. But you never know I suppose.
The Daily Mail says “the four-year-old doesn’t seem to be suffering from culture shock”.
Here’s Mercy with her nanny on a scary slide:
And seen here with Madonna and her brother, David:
There have been theories about the children’s biological father. To me they are clearly Michael Jackson’s children. The likeness is obvious.
The Daily Mail is adding to the silly debate, further endorsing claims that MJ’s dermatologist might be the biological father:
The doctor alleged to be the biological father of Michael Jackson’s eldest two children has fuelled fresh speculation about their paternity after issuing a half-hearted denial.
Dr Arnold Klein – whose former assistant Debbie Rowe married Jackson and gave birth to Prince Michael, 12, and Paris, 11 – failed to refute rumours he fathered them.
Appearing on ABC’s Good Morning America, Dr Klein was asked by presenter Diane Sawyer about claims that he was the real father of the two children.
The 48-year-old replied: ‘I can’t say anything about it, but to the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children.’
Anyway, the children lived with Michael Jackson. He parented them. He looked after them. He is their father for goodness sake.
What do you think? See below a picture of the dermatologist (who looks nothing like these beautiful children): Read More…
The Daily Mail printed this picture congratulating Julia on her fabulous post-baby body. Readers appear delighted. She’s been hailed by one of the readers, Laura Kemp, as a heroine for real women. Kemp invites Julia to become a patron of the Mummy Tummy Club, a club for real women only. Any unreal women out there? To be real you have to have a crepey tummy, not groom, never lose weight, and whinge a lot.
Members of MTC celebrate “the realities of motherhood, embrace CBeebies and stick two fromage-frais-covered fingers up at the perfectly coiffured, designer-dressed women who effortlessly juggle career, toddler and – gasp – sex life.”
Delightful.
French Justice Minister Rachida Dati has been forced out of Nicolas Sarkozy’s government – just 21 days after giving birth.
The 43-year-old caused a sensation when she originally returned to her desk just five days after the birth of Zohra, a baby girl, on January 2.
Apparently Madonna has agreed to give her ex-husband 32 million pounds. He signed away his rights to half the 120 million pound fortune she accumulated during their marriage.
She will give him 12 million dollars in cash and a country estate. He will also keep his pub.
The Daily Mail reported that she they will share custody of their two sons Rocco and David, and Lourdes, who has a different father, will live with her mother in the US.
Another bit of gossip is that The Alex Rodriguez who is supposedly having an affair with Madonna claims that they are just friends!
“We’re friends – that’s it,” A-Rod told People magazine.
And the newly single Guy Ritchie was seen chatting up the very eligible Jemima Kahn. Not a bad catch.
