ANGELINA JOLIE GAVE BIRTH: A BOY AND A GIRL

brad-pitt-angelina-jolie
Wow, the Brangelina couple are really lucky. What else could they ask for, the twins are a boy and a girl.

Here is the news.

PARIS - The Brangelina twins are here: Angelina Jolie has given birth to a girl and a boy.

The obstetrician who delivered the twins, Dr. Michel Sussmann, told The Associated Press that the actress, the babies and Jolie's partner, actor Brad Pitt, "are doing marvelously well."

Sussmann said Jolie gave birth to a boy, Knox Leon, and a girl, Vivienne Marcheline, by Cesarian section on Saturday night in southern France.

He told the AP on Sunday morning that the boy weighed 2.28 kilograms (5.03 pounds) and the girl 2.27 kilograms (5 pounds). The 33-year-old actress gave birth at around 8 p.m on Saturday night, the doctor told the AP by telephone.

Pitt was there during the operation, said the doctor, who delivered the twins at the seaside Lenval hospital in Nice.

"Everything is going well," said Sussmann. "The mother, the babies, the father are doing marvelously well."

I should say, Brangelina are good with their kids, adopted or their own.

PHOTOS OF BRANGELINA'S KIDS WORTH MILLIONS

Whoever will get the first set of photos of the Brangelina twins will get millions.
The paparazzis had camped ou the hospital where Angelina Jolie checked in to wait for the twins.

The press people have kind words for the couple. They do not get angry for their presence. They just request them to leave them alone.


"No anger. Only when they want to be alone they tell us, 'Please leave us alone.' They are very kind. They are nice," the photographer said.
They think however that it is close to impossible to get the candid shots of both the mother and the twins.

The expectant mother is ensconced in the security-enhanced maternity ward of the hospital in France.


"If there are sneak shots, they're not going to be anything like the posed ones," he said. "All it does is whet the appetite of those who want to see real quality pictures."
But whoever gets the shots will become rich overnight.



"There's always a chance in this business. It's down to who is good at what they do," he said. "If you were to get a paparazzi set of photos you could easily buy a little island to live on for the rest of your life."

As to how much, the photographer said:

"Certainly, the feeding frenzy just goes to show that people talk about the celebrity-obsessed world we live in. If publishers are willing to pay up to 15 million, there are obviously plenty of people wanting to see them."

OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN WEDS AGAIN

I love this woman, Olivia Newton-John. She is a survivor. I am happy to read that she got married again.

Aussie singer Olivia Newton-John has wed Amazon Herb Company founder John Easterling, “Access Hollywood” has learned.

The couple traded vows “in a private ceremony outside of Peru,” before returning stateside for a second ceremony on Jupiter Island, Fla., the following week, according to a statement released to “Access” by the singer’s rep.

Newton-John and Easterling told family and friends about their plan to marry at a barbeque on July 4 at the singer’s home in Malibu, California.


Why did I say she's a survivor? She got a breast cancer years ago. Then she lost her long-time boyfriend Patrick McDermott to a sea mishap.

I should say, it is time for her to be happy. Isn't it cat?

REAL ESTATE MELTDOWN AFFECTS ALSO CELEBRITIES


photocredit MSNBC

Even celebrities are affected by the mortgage mess and real estate industry meltdown.

They're humans too, you know who think of buying houses the moment they get their fat checks either for status or for investment.

Some have foreclosure issues and some have to bring down their offer to be able to sell their properties.


The case of Ed McMahon has shown that you can make millions over a lengthy show business career and still find yourself in foreclosure. Johnny Carson's former "Tonight Show" sidekick owes more than $644,000 in mortgage payments on his Mediterranean estate in Beverly Hills, a house he and his wife have been trying to sell for the past two years. The six-bedroom, five-bathroom home — in the same exclusive, gated community where Britney Spears lives — is now on the market for $6.5 million, down from an original price of $7.6 million


He's not alone in trouble.
Former NBA player Vin Baker saw his home in Durham, Conn., go up for auction last weekend. The seven-bed, six-and-a-half-bath mansion, on about 11 acres with a basketball court and a bowling alley, had been on the market for $2,950,000



My, my , the renovation alone would have cost him several millions.

Other celebrities who saw the values of their porperties plummeted are Angela Bassett and Courtney B. Vance whose house has dropped more than $2 million value in the past year and actor Frankie Muniz, star of "Malcolm in the Middle," whose mansion's selling price has been reduced from $3,875,000 to $3,695,000.

NICOLE KIDMAN's baby is barely a week old and she is already intrigued in the showbiz world of her celebrity parents.

It was her name Sunday which was others believed is a jab to the former religion Kidman was involved in while married to her ex-husband Tom Cruise.

Frankly, I can not see the relationship. Sunday is just a name of the day but of whellll, there might be things which i do not know.

The news however said that it was a name the couple chose after knowing the sex of the baby. Keith even composed a song with the same title.

Angeline Jolie is all readyfor the Twins

After that false alarm of Angeline's supposed to be twins' delivery, last month, now the news about the arrival of another addition for the Brangeline's family.

According to MSNBC

Brangelina’s twins aren’t here yet, but the big day is drawing closer.

The seafront Lenval hospital in Nice in the south of France said Tuesday that Angelina Jolie had checked in at its Santa Maria maternity clinic to be kept under doctors’ surveillance and get some rest before she gives birth.

“There’s no urgency. It’s been planned for a long time,” said Nadine Bauer, a hospital spokeswoman. “She’s very well. Everything is fine.”


I like Angeline and Brad, so I wish for her safe delivery.

TRUMP LASHES OUT ANNE HATHAWAY


If you find out that your boyfriend is a fraud, will you stick to him?

Donald Trump think so. He berated Get Smart" star Anne Hathaway to the press people about leaving her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri, just before his arrest.

He was quoted to have said:

“She hasn’t remained very loyal to him, has she?” Trump told “Access Hollywood’s” Billy Bush. “So when he had plenty of money, she liked him, but then after that, not as good, right?”


Is he for real? Anne is not dependent on the businessman. She is not merely a starlet.
She asked her name to be removed from the foundation of the boyfriend before he dumped him. Maybe, she is not to blindly in love to realize that she will be implicated if his questionable activity come to surface.

According to the news, Raffaello's mother is staying in a 30,000 a month apartment of Donald Trump.

That explains.

Lonely Robot outgrossed WANTED


Angeline Jolie, my favorite actress was outgrossed by a robot in the box office hit.
The movie Wall-E which reminds me of Number 5, the robot in the Short Circuit grossed more than the movie “Ratouille” which opened with $47 million the same time of last year.

The movie is for kids and for parents who have seen Short Circuit. Angeline's movie may be PG rated so movie goers were restricted by age. Having watched Angeline Jolie's in the Tomb Raiders and other action flick, I do not want to miss watching this movie.


For summary of Wall- E., go to If Charlie Chapin is a Robot.

NICOLE KIDMAN WAS NOT KIDDING


Nicole Kidman who is about to deliver her baby made a Tennessee radio DJ surprised when she showed up in the studio to give him the salad that he ordered. She was not kidding when she said she will obliged.



Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman left a Tennessee radio DJ speechless this week when she showed up at his studio with his lunch order. The cheeky DJ had jokingly asked her to pick up a salad for him when she phoned in during an interview with her country star husband Keith Urban. And Nicole obliged.

"I have no intention of eating this. Are you kidding?" said delighted DJ Gerry House as expectant Nicole presented him with the salad after arriving at the studio to pick up her husband. "Lunch delivered by Nicole Kidman? I'm having it bronzed!" he insisted.

The Moulin Rouge actress and her husband - who celebrated their second wedding anniversary this week - are due to welcome their new arrival "soon" according to the excited father-to-be.

Nicole had phoned the show to report her husband has been taking antenatal classes with her, after hearing his comments on his preparations for approaching fatherhood. "Keith has been doing Lamaze lessons, he's selling himself short. He's been very good at it!" she insisted.

The radio host was prompted to put in his lunch order after she told listeners she was stuck in traffic en route to the studio.


Is that one way of promoting her husband Keith Urban to the radio listeners.

ANNE HATHAWAY's EX, A FRAUD?


Is this the reason why Anne Hathaway separated from this boyfriend of hers; removing her affiliation with his foudation as well?

Good move for this young lady.

I like her in the Princess Diaries and the The DEVIL WHO WEARS PRADA.



An Italian businessman who has been romantically linked to movie star Anne Hathaway has been arrested on wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering charges, Manhattan prosecutors said Tuesday.

Raffaello Follieri, who was awaiting an appearance in Manhattan federal court, is accused of falsely telling an investor that the Vatican had appointed him to manage its financial affairs.

He allegedly claimed that as a result of his Vatican connections, he and others could obtain properties of the Catholic church in the United States at a substantial discount to fair market value.


According to the news, the The Follieri Foundation has not filed U.S. tax disclosure forms required from charities.

After those offensive language hurled to Denise by Charlie, I am losing my admiration to the Two and a Half Men actor.

HEATHER LOCKLEAR SEEKS THERAPY FOR DEPRESSION


Sometimes, I am surprised that these people who are quite lucky in their lives are reported to be suffering from anxiety and depression.

Is it the too much pressure from the career, is it the fear to lose popularity or is it genetic?

Heather Locklear appeared to be happy. She has a project. She has a boyfriend, Jack Wagner.

Then a call to 911 for a suicidal person whose address pointed to Locklear's residence was disclaimed by the family to be referring to the Melrose place actress.

After the denial comes the acceptance and so this news.


Heather Locklear is seeking treatment for psychological issues at an Arizona facility, her publicist confirms to PEOPLE exclusively.

"Heather has been dealing with anxiety and depression. She requested an in-depth evaluation of her medication and entered into a medical facility for proper diagnosis and treatment," says Locklear's rep, Cece Yorke. "This is a confidential medical matter and no further statement will be released."

NAOMI CAMPBELL IS ON A RAMPAGE AGAIN


It is more than a year when Naomi Campbell was made to do community service as a punishment for hurting her maid.

Now Naomi is on the rampage again. This time, she assaulted police officers.
Does she have anger management issue?



Model Naomi Campbell says she is sorry she assaulted two police officers during a dispute about lost luggage aboard a British Airways plane. But she has refused to apologize to the airline, accusing it of racism.

British Airways strongly denied the charge.

Campbell, 38, was sentenced Friday to 200 hours of community service and fined 2,300 pounds ($4,600) after she pleaded guilty to kicking, spitting and swearing at the officers aboard a plane at Heathrow Airport in April.

In an interview with Sky News broadcast Saturday, Campbell said she regretted her behavior and said "I apologize profusely" to the police.


The model should realize that fame is not permanent. At 38, she has only a few years to be in the limelight of her chosen career.

Do you agree cat?

that it could not have happened if the reporter's foot was not in that particular location.

THE INCREDIBLE HULK DID IT AGAIN



You know why I captioned it THE INCREDIBLE HULK DID IT AGAIN because just like in 2003, the movie earned a whopping $62.1 million in its opening but "died" in the following weeks due to bad movie review.

This weekend, The Incredible Hulk” earned $54.5 million over opening weekend. Will it repeat history...that is suffered a declining sales in the subsequent weeks?

But according to MARVEL, the new movie is not a sequel, it is a reboot with new casting
They made it more action packed than the previous which is darker.

Eduard Norton is Bruce Branner.

No Grand Wedding for MARIAH CARREY


Yes, it was reported that there will be a church wedding--a grand one. Bahamas wedding was a small one. Not Mariah Carrey's style, they said.

But oops, latest report said that there may be no second wedding. The thought of millions to be spent for the reception, dozens of bridesmaids and flowers must have given the DIVAH second thoughts. She must be planning to pay it off by deals from sale of the photos but I do not understand why they said that there are no offers.

Anyway, the honeymoon is not over yet, so is the shopping. Her husband Nick buys gifts for her and also buys for himself.

The question is, to whose credit is it charged? His or hers.


What do you think cat?

CHARLIE SHEEN AND HIS REAL MARRIAGE

ENTERTAINMENTNEWS
Carlos Irwin Estévez (born September 3, 1965), better known as Charlie Sheen and a Golden Globe Award-winning and Emmy-nominated American actor described his marriage to Brooke Mueller, a real estate investor as the real marriage.

According to him, his marriage to Donna Peele in 1995-1996 was just a show and the second marriage in 2002 with Denise Richards was a con. TERRIBLE MAN.

If Denise Richards doesn't matter at all, how come he refuses to talk about her in public?

He is not even ecstatic about the wedding; his wedding suit is from Men's Wearhouse.
So that is real marriage for him. huh?

It is a pity I like him especially in Hotshots! and in Major League.

Arghhh.

federline

So Kevin Federline, the ex-husband of Britney Spears has been named “Father of the Year” by a Las Vegas club. Whoa. Is this some kind of a joke?

Is it because he got two children with Britney and another two with Shar Jackson ? He will be receiving the award in a party he is going to host for his honor.

Another honor was awarded to Dina Lohan, the mother of misbehavin' Lindsay Lohan as
Top MOM by Mingling Mom's Organization-- a Long Island-based charity organization.

Angelina Jolie reported to have given birth and then denied

angelina+jolie
What's up with the news that Angelina Jolie already prematurely gave birth to the twins as reported by Entertainment Tonight.

Entertainment Tonight announced that it is not going to retract the news it has announced about the birth last Friday. The TV celebrity news identified its source as a person in the delivery room.

The names of the twins were alleged to have been published in a website.

Jolie's lawyer said that someone impersonated the personal assistant of Angelina and sent out false information about the star's appointment with the stork.

Whatever is the truth, the question that need to be answered is why the secrecy and why the denial if it is true.

What do you think cat?

TATUM O' NEAL BUSTED

tatum-o-neal
I like Tatum O'Neal when she was a child actress

It is a pity that her problem with controlled substances reemerged after her divorce with McEnroe.

Today she was charged with illicit purchase of crack cocaine near her home in Manhattan.

Tatum O' Neal as if you do not know is the daughter of Ryan O' Neal and the deceased actress Joanna Cook Moore. She was the youngest to win an Oscar for her role in Paper Moon.


Her chaotic childhood stemmed from alleged molestation abuse by a friend of her father as well as her growing up years with a mother and a father with drug and alcohol addictions.

She wrote her memoir in her book, Paper Life where she wrote about her heroin addiction and its effect to her her children.

SARAH PARKER VERSUS HARRISON FORD

sex-and-the-city

SEX and THE CITY lorded it over the box office pushing the Harrison Ford starrer Indiana Jones to second place.

Whoaa, I know the TV series has a lot of followers, men and women alike but mostly women. The producers did not even expect the movie to gross so much but it did, twice.

Sarah Jessica Parker and her gal pals must be grinning ear to ear.

Not you cat. Grin.
