Matilda Rose not Heath’s sole heir?

Heath Ledger sure was and still is one famous personality as even in death intrigues and speculations still follow him. Just two months after his death, speculations now emerge that the Brokeback Mountain actor may have secretly fathered a love child when he was a 17-year-old school boy.

This report was actually claimed by the actor’s family.

“Ledger's uncle, Haydn Ledger, yesterday confirmed there was a ‘real possibility’ his nephew had fathered a girl with the woman.”

Now if this possibility becomes a reality, the thing that’s sure is that Matilda Rose, Heath’s daughter to Michelle Williams will have to split her multi-million dollar estate inheritance with Heath’s alleged love child.

Lucky child, huh?!

Oh No They Didn’t!


Here in the Philippines, when a reporter commits false reporting, the journalism term used is kuryente. In the case of Star Magazine’s report pertaining to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s supposed wedding, this word would sure fit as sources like People, Ok!, and Us magazines report that no wedding ever took place in New Orleans or any other place for that matter.

According to a source of Us Magazine, “Bottom line, they aren't even in New Orleans.” So this just makes the report from Star an oh-so crap one.

Anyway, tied or not, I guess Brad and Ange are already happy together with their family. The “wedding” would just have to be something to feed the hungry media.

And as for Star, this kind of news should be taken cautiously.

Please Tom, take care of Katie

I must admit that I am one of those who probably grew up watching Katie Holmes bloomed and blossomed in Dawson’s Creek. And when I learned about her marrying Tom Cruise, I was really glad and thought that she’s lucky to have caught the heart of the top gun.

However, as time pass by, I’m beginning to wonder if Katie made the right decision of marrying such a high-profile celebrity.

In an article of Star, Katie was reported to have collapsed while having lunch at L.A.’s Joan’s on Third.

“Katie may never admit it, but sources say her superstar husband may be contributing to the debilitating headaches. His high energy is often hard to keep up with — and that, paired with her intense need to live up to his expectations, is really taking its toll, both mentally and physically.”

I guess having Tom as a husband is one helluva pressure.

Poor, poor Katie. And what is Tom actually doing about this? Gee, it might be such a nightmare having a husband who only thinks about social status and considers his wife as some award to brag about. Moron!

Posh goes from fugly to ugly


First, she was placed inside a big bag with only her ugly legs and shoes revealed. Now, this?!

I don’t know if Victoria Beckham’s gone mad already or Marc Jacobs’ just hate her so much that they really want the worst of her. This, by far, is the ugliest (choreographed, Photoshopped, and airbrushed) photo of Posh Spice I’ve ever seen. I know she probably has something like, “Duh, it’s Marc Jacobs!” but duh, too Victoria, you look so ugly here who cares if it’s Marc Jacobs?!

Come on, dish the tan out and get a grip of that serious mannequin pose, we’ve had enough of that from Paris Hilton already. And what’s that?! Feathers on your hair?! Haven’t you noticed Marc Jacobs’ just making fun of you?!

Get a clue, lady!

Not so Lenten with Jennifer Lopez and her Twins


Hello Pop-C-Clers! Today is a Holy Thursday. To us Roman Catholics, this day ought to be very solemn and be taken as a time to recall and remember the sacrifices of Jesus Christ. While I really intend to make a special Lenten post today on this blog, I couldn’t help myself writing a JLo related post instead when I saw the latest issue of People featuring her and her twins, Max and Emme.

Pardon me if I went a little bit away from the Lenten mode, but darn one need not have to have an $ 8 Zenni Optical Rx Eyeglasses to see how Jennifer Lopez was airbrushed to hell for this cover!

Well I wasn’t exaggerating about the $8 eyeglasses though; at Zenni Optical your $8 could buy various sleek and stylish eyeglasses of your choice that would definitely fit your personality. Choose from silver, gray, gold, blue, black, purple, or pink frames and match it with your choice of lens width, frame width, and height. Now, ain’t that flexible?!

Going back to Marc Anthony’s wife, I wonder if JLo actually realized how she looked so fake on the cover. I mean you know, did she really think people won’t notice? Come on who’s she kidding?!

This JLo and twins issue will hit the newsstands tomorrow.

Halle Berry gives birth to a baby girl… finally

Two days ago, I was browsing over some entertainment blogs and I saw this photo of Halle Berry with a super big belly visiting a friend in California. I was about to write a post about it and ask when she’s giving birth since her pregnancy looks so forever. Well I guess I need not write about that anymore.

The Oscar, Emmy, and Razzie winner finally gave birth yesterday at 10:17 a.m. at the Cedars-Sinai Hospital to a healthy baby girl.

This is her first born to 32-year-old model, Gabriel Aubry.

But wait, what’s the baby’s name?!

Sources say that the couple hasn’t thought of a name yet. Come on!

Anyway, congratulations guys!

Steve-O learns from his experience

“I did a great deal of damage to my brain (with drugs and) now that they've all worn off, I'm facing the consequences.”

Are we hearing remorse there? Because surely, Steve-O do really sound like he’s really sorry for not taking care of his health.

Actually, although I may sound so knowing there, truth is, I’ve never heard of the guy until now that he hit the news for a 72-hour psychiatric hold in the hospital. I had to do a little research to get to know this controversial guy.

Born Stephen Gilchrist Glover, I’ve learned that Steve-O is in fact a famous personality known for being such a daredevil with his reckless behavior and outlandish stunts on the TV series Jackass.

Having fame for this kind of behavior, I guess Steve-O took being such a jackass seriously that he also got himself so hooked in to drugs. Sadly though, he now realizes that life is all about karma. – What goes around comes around. And using his own words, “an ironic 'eye for an eye' situation”. Now he’s ripping the ‘fruits’ of his self-destructive behavior.

Gee, 72 hours in psychiatric hold and now been reported to be extended to 14 days, what would Steve-O do there? He really should learn from this and take no more drugs but Tamiflu.

Well at least Tamiflu could help him if ever he gets influenza. With Oseltamivir as its active ingredient, the medicine sure is great against flu virus.

Poor Steve-O, now all he can do is inspire the others to be NOT like him.

Harry Potter conclusion movie to be split into two flicks

If you consider yourself a fan of Harry Potter, then this news is for you.

According to sources:

The “Harry Potter” books may be complete, but there are still three full length films coming, to make a whopping eight Harry Potter movies in total. The movie version of the sixth book, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, will be in theaters at the end of this November. And the final book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, which was chock full of plot that sped by at a breakneck pace, is going to be split up into two films in order to cover all the stuff that happened. (Rowling has not definitively ruled out another book, saying “I will not say never, but I have no plans to write an eighth book.” She later clarified that if she did write another book it wouldn’t be for at least another 10 years.)

So is this good or bad news? I guess I’ll go with the first. For people like me who wasn’t able to read any of the books, I think it’s great to have a film version that would cover a wider grasp of the things that happened. And who knows? I might as well get encouraged to start reading the books.

After all, all I need is a little curiosity and encouragement.

Pop Fiction strikes again


We’ve all been witness to how Paris Hilton played the public’s interest when she walked and talked with a ‘holy man’ who was actually an actor. Now we all know that was just a part of Ashton Kutcher’s latest show, Pop Fiction where the celebrities turn the joke to the media.

Obviously the stars strike again; this time Mario Lopez and Eva Longoria who punked the media as the first was seen giving the Desperate Housewives star a Cartier necklace while eating together.

Believe me, this one is soooo lame. Like, duh! That putting on the necklace thing was obviously a desperate act to really pull off the prank.

Animated Britney looks better than the real

Are you one of those people who are already tired of seeing the same old brand new Britney

(read: notorious)? Well this would be good news for you. Britney Spears’ latest music video will feature a totally different her. – An anime!

The video featuring Brit’s upcoming single, Break the Ice will show a futuristic superhero of an animated Britney clad in a bodysuit.

According to The Sun,

“The cartoon treatment was Spears's idea and based on her steamy Toxic clip.”

Woooo… this would be really steamy hot! Something that people missed from the real Britney. That said, I guess Brit should just settle to be an anime. At least as one, she’s sexy, she’s hot, and she’s SANE.

Can’t wait to catch this video!

Hilary Swank bares all


Well at least for the latest campaign of Calvin Klein underwear.

The 35-year-old Academy Award-winning actress flaunts those sexy curves with her black and white photos taken by Steven Meisel for the Calvin Klein ads. And quite amazingly, HilarySwank looked absolutely hot.

Being the award-winning actress that she is, I never really thought or at least imagined Hilary to have this sexy and hot side. No offense to Swank but I never thought she’d fit perfectly for an underwear ad. I hardly recognized her with those photos; really beautiful.


Hilary is now among the fashion line’s top celebrity endorsers that include Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Fergie.

Who’s the cutest baby in Hollywood?

I know this wouldn’t be the first time to feature four of Hollywood’s most famous celebrity babies. But just for the heck of it, let’s try to join the fun. Well I wouldn’t be asking who’s the cutest among them since I believe all babies are (relatively) cute. Rather let’s try to check who among Dannielynn Smith, Violet Affleck, Suri Cruise, and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt possess that star appeal and charisma of a celebrity?

Dannielynn Hope Marshall Birkhead (nee Stern)

Known to the public as Dannielynn Smith, this cutie baby is the daughter of tragic model/actress Anna Nicole Smith. While most celeb babies were born in a relatively sheltered and ‘peaceful’ setting, Dannielynn has already been in the headlines for various controversies and a paternity case. This 18-month-old baby is a star in her own rights being the sole heir to the Anna Nicole Smith estate.

Her appeal to the media would most likely be due to her being a “poor-baby-who-just-lost-her-mother.”

Violet Affleck

Being the daughter of actor parents, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, this 2-year-old darling captured the public’s heart with her charming smile and love for animals. I think among the three featured celebs here, Violet is the one living a little less of the celebrity life.

Suri Cruise

If truth be told, I think the 23-month-old daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri, is one of the most beautiful babies I’ve seen in my life. Being a Hollywood baby, Suri has also been a subject to paternity controversies.

Mostly seen shopping with mom, Katie, I guess Suri has the making of a future fashion icon.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt

While the previous three celeb babies take everybody’s attentions as their parents’ first born, Shiloh share the limelight with her adoptive siblings, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara (with an addition member/s of the family coming on the way).

Having parents like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt who are big Hollywood stars of their own, Shiloh would probably be the celeb baby most chased and haunted by paparazzi.

Weee… what a children’s party we have, huh?! With more and more of these celeb babies coming, the Hollywood is surely getting bigger for beautiful people.

Christina Aguilera loses over Nicole


It’s battle of the “Mother and Child” covers in People with Nicole and baby Harlow versus Christina and baby Maddox. This, however is a bad news to singer Christina Aguilera as she was obviously beaten bad by then trashy celeb, Nicole Richie in terms of sales.

Oh no! This is bad news to Christina, who’s she going to fire this time? To recall, the 27-year old diva threw tantrums and fired her assistant and publicity firm upon learning that her People cover with son, Maddox didn’t sell that much. Uh-oh, guess drama outwits glamour.

According to MSNBC:

“There’s also a greater element of curiosity with Nicole. She’s gone public about being a heroin addict. Her boyfriend is covered in tattoos. By default, she’s got the more interesting baby. People want to see how she settles down. They want to see what kind of baby someone with her background has.”

People love drama, remember?! Maybe Christina should just bring the “competition” in terms of record sales. Too bad, Nicole can’t sing. **Grins**

Drew throws a million dollar away

Nope, it’s not for her shopping spree or for some fancy possession; it’s for D-O-N-A-T-I-O-N!

That’s right. 33-year-old actress and Ambassador Against Hunger, Drew Barrymore is donating a whooping $1 million to the World Food Programme to help feed marginalized children in Africa. Now this is one great and noble news; probably better than hearing how the Philippine Peso is getting stronger.

Anyway, Drew, who’s blooming and inspired these days made the big announcement on Oprah Winfrey Show with her sweetheart, Justin Long watching with the audience (sweet!).

In the interview, Vogue’s latest cover girl has this to say:

“I have seen with my own eyes what a difference a simple cup of nutritious porridge can make in a child’s life,” Drew said. “It helps them learn, stay healthy and sets them on track for a bright future. I urge everyone — everywhere — to help WFP ‘Fill the Cup’ for hungry children, and make hunger history.”

Awww… Charlie’s charming angel sure has a soft heart for children. So I guess it’s not just Orlando Bloom who’s paying it forward, huh?! What Drew has here is one big leap in making change. Well let’s hope more and more of those A-listers do the same and help make this world a better place.
