1. “There are rumors swirling within the inner circle of this celebrity about her secret past. We all know about her rags to riches story, but what we don’t know is that she lived the life of prostitution for two years to get by. Not Oprah Winfrey.” [BuzzFoto]

2. “This celebrity is moving to a place thousands of miles away from where she lives now. Her motives are rather suspicious. Is the new location closer to her workplace? No. Closer to her family? No. Better weather? No. She claims it is just because she found a locale that she and her husband like. The real reason, though, is to get herself and her child/ren as far away from her Mother as possible. The celeb finally has enough presence of mind—and more than enough money—to lead a life different from the one that was set up for her. She won’t be hounded or controlled anymore by her Mother, her Mother’s attorneys, etc. Mom will act like she is heartbroken that her daughter and grandchild/ren are moving, but she is actually panicking. She found out that her little girl is writing her autobiography…a book that will make Mommie Dearest look like a day at the beach.” [Blind Gossip]

3. “Which skinny starlet has a new party trick to impress her rich showbiz pals with? She has flunkies fill salt shakers with cocaine and dots them around the dinner table for guests to sprinkle on their canapes…” [UK Mirror]

Any guesses?

Valerie Bertinelli announced her engagement to AARP Magazine, a magazine for the 50+ age group. She has been with her fiance Tom Vitale since 2004.  The following excerpt is directly from the magazine article courtesy of PRNewswire.com:

On Turning 50 and Aging with Grace

“Women of this age are not dead. We’re part of baby boomers. We’re big, man!”

“You know what’s so great about being this age? We’re smarter.  And we’re not too old to grow.”

“I’ve never been a big age person.  I’ve got the lines.  I’m aging.  But so what? Now is the best of time of my life…I hope it just gets better, because this is really fun.”

“I’m proud to be an AARP member!”

“When I was [my son] Wolfie’s age and my mom would try to tell me something I was like, ‘She doesn’t know what she’s talking about. God she knew what she was talking about.’”

On Finding Love

“I’ve never had a male friend like I have with Tom…Mature love doesn’t mean you have to be mature all the time—we definitely have our immature moments.  But when disagreements come up, we’re able to talk in a way that’s not attacking, and we’ll still love one another.”

“If my life wasn’t starting to turn around, I couldn’t have welcomed [fiancée Tom Vitale] into it.”

Fiance Tom Vitale on Valerie

“We just understood each other completely…My family is her family. It wasn’t love at first sight; it was family at first sight.”

“If the timing wasn’t right, I wouldn’t have asked.”

“We’re both still a little afraid of commitment but then we were over there [Italy), and it was like our souls were calibrated.”

On Getting Healthy, Physically and Mentally

Ashton Kutcher admits Demi Moore thought he was a douche bag when she first met him:

“We met through a mutual friend. She thought I was a douche bag. I had just gotten out of the shower and walked in the room with no shirt on.

He admits he was a bit of a douche:

“I was out of control with women. I was very abusive with women. but like every girl they always think that, ‘I will be the one to change him.’ I seduced women. That was my move. I was a womaniser. I wasn’t marriage material. I had to prove to her that I was serious. I hung in there telling myself this is the woman I want to be with.”

But Ashton knew Demi was ‘the one’:

“I knew I wanted to be with this person. I heard her on the phone talking to her daughter and I knew she would keep me grounded. I told her, ‘I need to talk to you later.‘

Demi was supposed to have traveled but her flight was cancelled. How’s that for fate? They hung out the next night and talked every day for a month after that.  He was able to prove he loved Demi in less than a month.  And the rest they say is history.  These two are among my favourite couples in showbiz.

I find it hard to think of Ashton as a douche bag who mistreated women.  Thank gawd for Demi!

Last night one of my favourite Englishmen, Russell Brand was on David Letterman where he talked about spending 48 hours with the marine and how he is now ready to protect us all!

He was pretty animated last night.  There are a couple of clips below and doesn’t reflect the entire interview.  But some is better than none, right?

In the second clip, he told David Letterman why he’s attracted to Dame Helen Mirren (they will star in the Arthur remake together)

“Mr. Letterman, I share your affection,” Helen Mirren is a wonderfully attractive woman. She’s obviously older than I am, and I’ve managed to define accurately what my attraction is to her.”

Russell says he’s drawn to her maternal presence and how his fantasy involves a bath, her dropping the soap in the water, eye contact and awkwardness.  It’s quite funny.

Jennifer Love Hewitt leave El Torito Mexican restaurant in Toluca Lake of course just after news that her show Ghost Whisperer was cancelled.  Did I mention CBS sucks?

Camila Alves and Gisele Bundchen leave the gym together because that’s what Brazilian models do biotches.

Eva Mendes and her  big ass scary dog leave her personal trainer’s house…is that Harley Pasternak?  His Five Factor Fitness is very effective.  Who is really going to mess with her with that dog, right?

Miley Cyrus stops for a smoothie in Toluca Lake..did you see her performance on DWTS last night? Is it just that I can’t accept she is growing up or that I just think she’s inappropriate?

William Shatner leaves his Manhattan hotel with his wife. I’m not sure what number wife she is but it’s ‘up there’.
