Who among us remembers the saga of the loaner phone?
I’m concerned tonight; concerned that I’m about to embark on another situation in which I have to return a phone to Sprint because it’s stopped working. I’m concerned that I’ll receive another loaner phone littered with old text messages about drug deals. I’m concerned because my phone is where all my friends live.
It’s sort of a bummer of a way to start the weekend.
Luckily, I can cheer myself up with a whole bunch of celebrity gossip. We had a good variety this week; not too much happy, not too much sad; just enough weird and random stuff to make me squeal in delight. If this was a sports blog, which is it clearly not, I’d say celebrities were batting 1000 this week.
Anne Hathaway, known best for starring in the Princess Diaries (at least known best for that around my house), announced she recently became engaged to long time boyfriend Adam Shulman.
Wait, wasn’t she in the Nanny Diaries, too? Or something like that?
Anyway, the actress, also known for hosting the most awkward Academy Award ceremony EVAH and dating that one dude who ended up stealing all her money, was spotted in Brooklyn sporting a pretty nice looking diamond ring. And he even used his own money, unlike that scumbag she used to date.
What was that movie she was in? It was based on some book I read while lounging in the sun back in college….
Moving on to a story I’m far less invested in (and believe you me, I’m as surprised as you are that Anne Hathaway was my lead story this week), rumors have been floating around the Twit this week that newlyweds Russell Brand and Katy Perry’s marriage is heading for some trouble. Nobody saw that one coming, huh?
(The Devil Wears Prada! That’s the movie!)
But don’t believe everything you read on an AOL Music website, because according to the always reliable TMZ, their marriage is as strong as ever — proven by their highly photographed couple’s tattoo trip. Brand was inked with the badge of his favorite soccer team, the West Ham United, while Perry opted for a smiling peppermint. You know what they say about the couple who gets strange tattoos together…
In “please please please don’t X out of this browser yet” news, Kourtney Kardashian is expecting another wonderfully entitled bundle of joy with boyfriend Scott Disick. It’s been several weeks since Kim and Kris announced their divorce and it’s basically Kourtney’s turn to keep the family in the spotlight. She told E! the pregnancy wasn’t a surprise because they weren’t really trying but weren’t NOT trying, which means if you’re a Kardashian you can do anything you want and not worry about the consequences or things like, say, how you’d afford to put two children in daycare.
Sources report their wedding is “imminent”, especially since their new E! Show needs a season finale.
Better get that silver spoon designed right now, Kourtney!
Want a few more celebrity homeruns? (Lord, what’s with the sports talk today? Enjoy it while it lasts, sports fans.)
- Miley Cyrus celebrated her birthday with a ‘Bob Miley’ cake and then proclaimed herself to be a stoner. Hold on to your loose items, the earth is about to shake after Bob Marley rolls over in his grave. (And there’s video!)
- Tori Spelling turned innocent arts and crafts into baby canabalism this Thanksgiving after she tweeted a picture of her new baby dressed as a cooked turkey.
- Taylor Swift wants to star in Les Miz. Um, Taylor? That play is not about princess so you’re probably not cut out for it. Sorry.
- In an interview with People, Ali Fedotowski, former Bachelorette, said fighting with ex-fiance Roberto Martinez became too much, leading to their breakup. You just wonder why people can’t figure out they aren’t going to work while they are dating…I mean, isn’t 8 weeks enough time to know?
- Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber their new video, a remake of her classic “All I Want for Christmas is You”. An implied love affair between a 40 year old woman dressed in a sexy Santa costume and a 17 year old boy was never so entertaining.
- Jennifer Lopez sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G her backup dancer Casper Smart. Hey, maybe there’s some truth to those “I drive my Fiat in the streets of the Bronx!” commercials after all.
- Mindy McCreedy, 90s country music singer turned 00′s trainwreck, was accused of kidnapping her 5-year-old son, then announced she’s pregnant with an unknown man’s twin babies. Country music…personified.
- Kris Humphries filed for an annulment from Kim Kardashian, claiming fraud. Sounds about right.

Your celebrity news round ups always cheer me up.
I do try blank out any Kardashian news though

Girl, I wish they would stop doing stuff so I could quit writing about them, but you know….”journalists” have to report what they see
The whole Kardashian thing is getting old. I wish they would quit getting paid every time they breathe.
I’m off to read about MIndy McCreedy. Love your Fridays!
Thank you Jessica! Enjoy Mindy. She’s such a hot mess! IShe’s like the Nashville equivalent to the Kardashians.

You know, I’m really starting to become convinced that the Kardashians really do take turns keeping the family in the spotlight. To continue with your sports theme, it’s like, “OK, Kim’s on third with her sham of a marriage. Now let’s bring her home with a new baby! Kourtney, you’re up to bat!” And filing for an annulment sounds like the smartest thing Kris Humphries as ever done.
That Justin Bieber/Mariah Carey video was wrong on so many levels.

I’m sorry to say (believe me) that Kim K had her ass x-rayed at the doctors to prove there are no implants in it.
I saw the episode while at the gym (that I joined, went to three times, and need to quit because I refuse to waste another half hour of my life on an elliptical watching the Kardashians).
Seriously.
I hate myself.

So there was a blind item on Lainey in July about big names on a huge movie set (this is going to be a really long comment).
It was instant attraction when they started rehearsals, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be happily married. On set flirtation, some touching in the trailer, soon became after work “prep time”, and heavy petting in the car, and before long it was a full blown affair. May have been a method situation for him, which would surprise no one, but for her, even though she told herself this was a big girl, mature woman thing to do – take a co-star lover – of course she fell in love, although she obediently went back to her boyfriend and tried to shake it off he cut it off after three weeks as soon as his wife came over to stay. He seems to be able to pretend like it never happened. Which, naturally, is confusing her because she thought it was so real. Of course she did. As it happened, there was a break in the schedule and they haven’t had to work together for a while, much to the studio’s relief. These are big names on a big film with big expectation and there was already enough drama last time around. But shooting with everyone resumes again in a few days, and they’ll be sending an executive to stay around through the stretch to keep a close eye. Babysitting is exactly what it is.
Dark Knight resumed filming the first week of August. And she dropped a major hint in Hathaway’s “engagement photos” article. It’s totally her and Bale. Ew on both, but more so him!

You’re SO Much better at blind items than me. Let’s team up.

Two heads are always better than one on these! I had no idea at the time it was posted. It’s what 4 or 5 months later now?
The Bale comment just stood out in her engagement post as totally unnecessary that I went back and did some research

I’ll never understand. The Kardashians are famous for nothing. Absolutely nothing. At least everyone else on this roundup has some type of talent for which they’ve achieved celebrity status…except the bachelorette one.
Even a despised loaner phone with a mysterious past is more interesting to me than a Kardashian.

I feel like there’s something you missed….oh…no wait…OMG you definitely got it all. This is a pot of crazy this week. I think, if anyone ever wanted to give celebrities a wake up call, you could do a round-up of events in bloggers’ lives. Let’s see…this week I cleaned cat puke out of the bathroom rug and ate a pizza with unmelted mozzarella cheese from Cosi. EXCITING STUFF!! And I’m sure you’ve wiped a butt or 2. Why don’t they ever talk about how they do that stuff? Also..skimmed comments and Kim Kardashian’s butt is fake?? What??

I read this as “unlimited cheese” at first and thought, how awesome would that be?

What a week in celeb news!!!! But more importantly… I can hardly wait to see what kind of loaner phone you get. I’m worried that it won’t be nearly as entertaining as the last one… :/
I have to say that I think I’m with James Bond in regard to the Kardashians. I want them to go away! I actually feel bad for Kris. I haven’t watched any of the new season of K&K Take New York, so maybe my opinion will change, but I doubt it. As for Kourtney, I am curious what Kourtney will name her baby…
While the Beiber/Mariah Christmas video is ridiculous, I am sad that he ruined that song. It’s a 1994 Mariah Carey Christmas classic! For realz! I love that CD.
On another note, thank you for allowing me to continue spamming you when I see celeb news.

So many things to say (after my IS department rudely interrupted my reading of this post by calling and needing to have remote access to my computer for a few minutes)!
I was going to tell you the other Anne Hathaway movie was Devil Wears Prada – Scarlett Johansson was the Nanny Diaries actress, but you figured that one out on your own. I do love Anne though, and associate her with Princess Diaries in my house, too.
I’ve ignored and hated the Kardashians for so long now, but I’ve recently started reading all their news and US Weekly articles because they provide endless entertainment.
I thought the Bob Miley thing was hilarious.
And I had to laugh at your J Lo comment – those Fiat commercials offend my husband so much because he says there’s no way she’d ever drive that car, herself, in the Bronx. Did you see her drive it onstage at the AMAs?
Great post, as always!

I’m so late today! I’m adjusting to the new hour long self feeding baby bonanza that is *every* meal time now. Does Luke take an hour to eat? I suh-wear!
Anyway, Kardashian’s preggers? I’m *sure* they’re saving up all of their publicity stunt money from Kim’s soiree to afford the next big shindig. i.e. the finale where Horseney (sorry, she looks like a horse, doesn’t she?) and Scott get married AND divorced in the same episode. That dude’s such a douche bag. Why is she having more of his babies? She does know she’s a Kardashian right? And can get any man OTHER than Scott?
ANYway… I do love that Anne Hathaway found love again. She seems like a level-headed gal, like Julia Roberts. Is it just me?
