Celebrity Sighting: Brangelina

Hollywood Royalty_ Brangelina 06Don’t mind me o. I just simply love this couple, and so when I must, I will blog about them. Even if it’s something as meaningless and telling you how they took time off their successful careers and six kids and humanitarian work to go have dinner in Australia where they are currently living.

Oh Brangelina, when wilst thou adopt me? 🙂 #sigh More pictures after the cut. (more…)

Is Monogamy becoming outdated? The Celebrities in Open Relationships

Am I crazy, or are open relationships a thing now? Judging by Hollywood, I’d say yes. Here are some celebrities in open relationships.

T-Pain1

T-PAIN
T-Pain went on the record to confirm that he and his wife don’t have an open relationship. They just “sleep with other girls together.” Sounds open to me.

ROBIN THICKE AND PAULA PATTON
Robin Thicke didn’t openly cop to having an open marriage on the Howard Stern show. But when Howard asked, he said, “Out of respect for her, we just won’t answer that one.” I’m just going to draw my own conclusions from there.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie want to adopt…again

maleficent24f-1-webBrad Pitt and Angelina Jolie want to adopt again.

The couple have been talking with their six children – adopted trio Maddox, 12, Pax, 10, and Zahara, nine, and biological kids Shiloh, seven, and Knox and Vivienne, five – about welcoming another little girl into their family.

A source told Grazia magazine: ”Angelina and Brad have spent much of the festive period discussing extending their family. They’ve been open with the children about it and they are all excited at the prospect.” (more…)

Celeb Winners and Losers of 2013

Some stars will happily be flipping their calendars to 2014. Others, well, they’ll always have fond memories of that one year when everything seemed to fall into place. Check out our breakdown of the celebs who were winning and those who didn’t fare so well in 2013!092b4fb0-7710-4eef-9e15-4c84b26bfc0d_JenniferLawrence_LamarOdom_121213Winner: Jennifer Lawrence

Too bad J.Law isn’t available to give an acceptance speech for landing a winning spot on this list. Every time she opens her mouth, we fall more in love with her down-to-earth, quirky personality. Lawrence was a winner at the Oscars, too, where she walked away with the Best Actress trophy for last year’s “Silver Linings Playbook.” She also reigned at the box office, where “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” was, as expected, a behemoth that has taken in more than $740 million globally since opening Nov. 22. Forbes estimated that Lawrence herself earned $26 million between June 2012 and June 2013, which was enough to land her at the No. 2 spot on the magazine’s list of the year’s highest-paid actresses, right behind Angelina Jolie. Not bad for a 23-year-old!

Loser: Lamar Odom
Hard to believe that Odom was on top of the world not too long ago … before rumors swirled that he was cheating on wife Khloé Kardashian, an August DUI charge, a brief stint in rehab, and finally an official split. Khloé filed for divorce in December and she was promptly seen hanging out with L.A. Dodgers outfielder Matt Kemp. Next year has to be better for the former NBA player!

celebs 1Winner: Beyoncé

Queen Bey was fierce throughout 2013, but she practically made the Internet explode in December when she dropped a new album accompanied with music videos for all 17 songs with absolutely no warning. Quite a way to cap off a year that saw Bey perform at President Obama’s second inauguration (although she did face a lip-syncing scandal) and the Super Bowl halftime show, as well as the premiere of her HBO documentary, “Life Is but a Dream.” What can Jay Z’s woman and Blue Ivy’s mama possibly do to top it in 2014? She’s sure to think of something! (more…)

10 Burning Celeb Questions for 2014

others 44The year of Beyoncé Our Lord 2013 is nearly gone, but I still have so many lingering questions. So. Many. Unanswered. Riddles. Of the ages.

Like what, you say? Glad you asked. Here they are:

Will Beyoncé attend Kim and Kanye’s wedding? Because we all know how much the Beyhive does NOT want that to happen.

Will Katy Perry and John Mayer’s romance last? Because they’ve just released a video showcasing their love, which means they need to break up immediately.

Will Beyoncé drop a super-secret surprise second baby next year? She’s already proven she can be as stealthy as she wants with long-term projects. Besides, every royal family knows that you need a spare as well as an heir. (more…)

1 4666446664 

This organization takes its name from the prison number given to Mr. Mandela when he was incarcerated on Robben Island. Initially created to support global HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, Mandela realized he would need to engage the support of people and the attention of the youth by locking in the support of high-profile ambassadors. These ambassadors are committed to supporting 46664s values and taking it forward to find new hands to lift the burdens. Two such supporters for this organization include: Alicia Keys and Beyoncé (who was the first artist to perform at a 46664 event). As 46664 continued in its work, its social emphasis naturally expanded to include Mandela’s humanitarian legacy through activities and projects as well as confronting issues of social injustice.

Angelina Jolie is well known for her charitable efforts around the world. In 2006, Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt founded the Jolie-Pitt Foundation that has been used to fund several worldwide projects such as: Schools around the world; a boarding facility for girls at Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya, and another school for girls in Tangi, Afghanistan. The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has also donated $333,000 to SOS Children’s Villages, an organization that has a strong commitment to raising orphaned and abandoned children throughout the world. To launch the Foundation back in 2006, the pair made donations of $1 million to Doctors Without Borders and Global Action for Children. (more…)

Owners of the Angelina Jolie island insist it’s still up for sale

petra-island-brad-pitt-and-angelina-jolieWait, hold up! It seems Angelina Jolie has not bought Petra Island for Brad Pitt.

The owners of the heart-shaped island have shut down reports the actress had splashed $20 million on the land ahead of her husband’s 50th birthday next month by revealing the paradise retreat is still up for sale.

The exclusive island is located approximately 50 miles north of Manhattan, New York and sits in the middle of Lake Mahopac in Putnam County, but Donna Massaro – whose parents Joseph and Barbara own the retreat – insists the land hasn’t received an offer since it was put on the market four months ago.

She told the New York Post newspaper: ”I don’t have any idea where that [report] came from. The family threw it out there to see if anyone was interested, and so far no [potential buyers] have [come forward].”

My Love For You Is THIS Big! Angelina Jolie buys Brad Pitt a secluded heart-shaped island worth $12.2 million

celebs 15Their love for one another has never been in doubt, but Angelina Jolie has apparently reinforced the depth of her feelings for Brad Pitt by buying him, not a Rolex watch, not a Ferrari, not even a mansion, but his very own heart shaped island.

The actress has reportedly paid £12.2 million for secluded Petra, an island located some 50-miles away from New York City, as Brad prepares to celebrate his 50th birthday on December 18.

Oh boy! There are no words from me. See a picture of the island below. (more…)
