“It’s a very big surprise in life when you learn that not everyone is rooting for you. It’s a very scary thing when you figure that out.
“I never imagined that worrying about what other people think of me would be a big part of my day. But, when you get that much negativity thrown at you, you go, ‘Whew, I’ve got to cope with that.’
“Nothing I heard in the press resembled the truth. What an insight for me.
“I took time off. I wanted to get simple and quiet. I wanted to laugh. I wanted to travel.”

 

……on the public’s perception of her and her life in 2000 when her marriage to Dennis Quaid ended and she started seeing Russell Crowe.

Word is that Toni Braxton will join the other alleged stars:  Lance Bass, Jewel’s rodeo-rider boyfriend Ty Murray and actress Florence Henderson, along with (maybe) Kim Kardashian for the seventh season of Dancing With The Stars.  The official star line-up announcement takes place August 25.

The 41 year old singer had to cancel her Las Vegas tour because of heart problems.  She suffers from pericarditis.  

I have to wonder if this is just a rumour.  If she had to cancel her Vegas show (which she mainly sings) how can she possibly compete on this show when it is so physically demanding?

What do you think?  Do you think this is just a rumour?

The actress is 3 -1/2 months along with her third child with husband of seven years Jason Sehorn. According to a source:

“She is over the moon and glowing,” a source tells Star. “And because the actress is so thin she is already sporting a tiny bump.”

Her husband proposed to her as she was sitting in the guest spot on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno on March 13, 2000.

What ARE they putting in the water in Hollywood?  ET got the exclusive from Priscilla Presley:

She wanted it really to be kept a secret for a long time, you know, and I think women should, because they should be able to announce what they're having and when it's time to make the announcement."

Twins run in the family:  Elvis was one and Priscilla has brothers who are twins.

The 40 year old Lisa Marie and her 4th husband (yes I said fourth...that includes the one to Michael Jackson) are expecting in the Fall.

David Beckham so enjoyed watching Dita Von Teese’s burlesque show that Posh wants to learn to dance like her and has been taking lessons from the burlesque queen.

Another rumor is that Dita Von Teese has invited Posh to take part in one of her shows!!

I think Posh has a nice figure and has amazing fashion sense, but I just can’t see her doing burlesque.  She seems so in control of everything that I can’t envision her letting lose.  Then again who knows, she could be a real minx behind closed doors.  She is married to David Beckham afterall!!

 That’s not how we roll here in the Great White North Scar Jo.

The actress is super excited to be marrying Canadian Ryan Reynolds:

“I’m very excited,” the Vicky Cristina Barcelona star, 23, tells Entertainment Tonight Canada in an interview airing Tuesday. “I’ve had wonderful times in Canada. It’s a lovely country. It’s a beautiful country and hopefully I’ll be able to get through immigration faster now!” When jokingly told by ET Canada’s Roz Weston that Reynolds, 31, is “a prince up there,” Johansson responded, “Wow. That’s fantastic. Do I get anything from it?”

Yes.  All women that marry our royalty get:  a bottle of Maple Syrup, a Toque, a Hockey Stick and a stay at the finest Igloo in all of Canada.  I have alerted Canada Customs and they are getting your gift basket ready.

On her steamy kissing scenes with Javier Bardem:

“It’s so not sexy … It’s just so not a big deal. I think also because half the crew is standing around eating sandwiches, it really takes the edge off. I’m like, ‘You guys really want to go to lunch, don’t you? Alright, just give me the tongue, give me the tongue. We’ll go to lunch after this. Come on Javier, give it to me.’ That’s how it goes.”

Yeah, in my dreams I’m saying the same thing to Javier, except there are no sandwiches.
