If you’ve spent any time here on It’s Blogworthy, you’ll know Fridays are always a really special occasion. We drink a cup of coffee or some wine (depending on the time of day and whether or not you drink in the morning), we dish about celebrity gossip and we complain that we have web policy meetings to attend (wait, that’s just me). And we laugh.
But today — today, my loyal Roundup-ers — is an extra special Friday. Today? I’m the star.
After, like, two years of dreaming that someday I’d be the Featured Blogger on SITS, it’s finally my day! If you don’t know about SITS, which I’m pretty sure all of you do, it’s a community of bloggers whose goal is to educate and support each other. I’ve watched as this community has grown leaps and bounds and I’m super proud to be a part of it. I’m participating in their 31 Days to Build a Better Blog e-course right now and it’s awesome. I could NOT be more thrilled to be featured!
If you’re new here, WELCOME. You’ll find a little bit of everything on It’s Blogworthy, and I hope you find some time today to peruse my greatest hits or learn more about me. I’d love it if you would subscribe to my RSS feed or join me on Facebook so you won’t miss any of this delicious celebrity snark.
Oh! Before I forget, this blog is a Kardashian Free Zone — you’ll never see the likes of them trashing up the Roundup! (Although if you’re interested, Jayme has a little conspiracy theory going on about those K-dashes.)
But lest I ruin your entire weekend by skipping out on the Celebrity Roundup, let’s get started.
After days of speculation this weekend, model-turned-reality host Heidi Klum and her husband of seven years, singer Seal Klum (natch), shocked the world by announcing they were separating. The couple, known for outward displays of affection, extravagant matching Halloween costumes and yearly over-the-top themed vow renewal celebrations, announced they had grown apart, as Hollywood couples are wont to do.
TMZ, however, reported there may be more to the split than just growing apart, as their sources said Heidi was tired of dealing with the drama of his temper tantrums. Also to blame could be her $20millon media empire and his…..record from 1998?
The couple have both been spotted wearing their wedding bands less than a week after the announcement, and in an interview with Piers Morgan, Seal hinted at the possibility of a reconciliation in the near future. I sure do hope they can….make it work. <end Project Runway joke>
You know who else has had a rough go of it lately? One Miss Demi Moore Kutcher, who has recently separated from her no-good-cheating husband, Ashton ( if you remember, he was sticking it to other women on their anniversary) , was hospitalized earlier this week after reportedly experiencing a seizure after doing “whip-its”, the street name for Nitous Oxide inhalants. After being evaluated and released, a rep for the actress said she would be seeking treatment for “exhaustion”, also known outside the entertainment industry as a case of the cray cray.
Is it a midlife crisis or something more? Just weeks earlier, Moore was seen dancing on tables at a night club while intoxicated. In addition to the stress of her failed marriage and her estranged husband’s infidelity, reports claim Demi Moore is also suffering from anorexia.
Ashton has no comment because he’s too busy partying in Spain and also starring in a show who Charlie Sheen says is bad. I mean, if Charlie Sheen says it’s bad, it must be really, really bad.
More celebrity news that’s so bad it’s goooooooood:
- Kevin Federline, currently in Australia shooting the weight loss show “Excess Baggage”, was rushed to the hospital after his heart showed signs of “distress”. A few years married to Britney Spears, five kids with three different women and an extra 100 pounds will definitely distress a person’s heart.
- Professional nobody Kristin Cavallari and Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler announced they are expecting their first child together. Well, that’s one way to keep him from leaving you…
- Price is Right host Drew Carrey has split from his fiance of five years. Soon his next lady love will be hearing, “come on down! You’re the next contestant on ‘Be Engaged to Drew Carey for Five Years and Never Get Married!”
- R&B star Aretha Franklin called off her wedding to long time friend and fiance William “Willie” Wickerson.
- Whitney Houston has reportedly lost her entire fortune. People, crack is whack!
- Lindsay Lohan is being sued by a pedestrian who said Lindsey hit her with a Maserati in West Hollywood. You can’t keep a good woman down and out……of the courtroom.
- Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Jay-Z and Beyonce and
a surrogate, has a new godmother – Oprah Winfrey. Blue: “Oh boy! I can’t wait to go visit godmother Oprah for Christmas! I wonder if she’ll buy me another cruise ship this year!” - Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak revealed he and co-host Vanna White often hosted the show while drunk in the early years of their on-air careers.

I was pretty shocked to hear about the Seal/Heidi breakup. I thought they’d make it.

I love it when you declare a celebrity to have the cray cray. And Demi clearly does. She’s basically all plastic, silicone and hair extensions now anyway.

WOO HOOO!!!! I could have sworn that you already had your SITS day, what with your popularity and all. So HAPPY SITS DAY! I hope it triples your audience and makes Fridays even more fun!
What a crazy week. I’m still a little confounded by the Seal/Heidi split. And the only thing I can think happened with Aretha is that she talked to Oprah and you know Oprah put the kibosh on that!
I hope Demi doesn’t turn into the 50+ Lohan. What a train wreck that would be!
I’m so excited that you’re having your SITS day in the sun! Well deserved, friend!

Happy SITS Day, lady! Mine is coming up in a few weeks and seriously need to get my shi- er, stuff together for it. I think I’ll take a few tips from you – great write-up!
Speaking of getting shi-, er stuff together, I feel bad for Demi Moore but this ain’t St. Elmo’s Fire anymore. She’s 49, not 25. I hope she gets the help she needs – maybe she’ll finally start acting her age.
Also? Your Kevin Federline blurb made me laugh. Out loud. At my desk (shhhhh…).
Kristin @ What She Said recently posted..Friday Tapas: Finding Beauty in the Mundane
Then I’ve done my job for the day.
Yeah, I think that’s one of the main problems with Demi, IMO, as if she cares: she needs to realize she’s almost 50 and act it. Own it. It’s worked for lots of women who look way more their age than shes does. It’s kind of sad, honestly.
Congrats on the SITS exposure!! That rocks!!!
Demi, Demi, Demi… bless her heart. She needs to take a page from Jennifer A. You don’t lose your mind you just get HOTTER and leave your issues with your ex in the past. Seriously what was the LAST movie Demi was in. She looks amazing [well minus the possible ani issues if she has them]… and she’s talented. Maybe Jennifer needs to take Demi under her wing and maybe… just maybe Demi should stop behaving like a 20 something and realize while she doesn’t look her age she might want to act it and possibly date with in that age range as well. I wonder what Bruce thinks about all this? I definitely think it’s a mid life thing w/ her fo’ sho.
Ugh… Ashton is such a douche.
You’re exactly right! Ok, I get it, you look great, Demi. But some man your age would totally appreciate it! I don’t get it!
Yay for your SITS day!
Your PR joke made me laugh. I have such a crush on Tim Gunn. In a “I want him to take me shopping” kind of way.

Mrs. Weber recently posted..Fab5: Soothing Songs for Little Ones
Here’s something I always wonder: How can stars, who show shockingly poor self-control when it comes to drugs, alcohol, sex, or whatever addiction is all the rage, stay so thin? That shows self-control in one area, right? It seems surprising when you think about how little they deny themselves in all the other areas of their lives. Generalizing, of course. . . but don’t they feel the siren call of Krispy Kreme doughnuts like the rest of us frail mortals?

I have been following the Ashton/Demi story this week. Didn’t we all think when they wed that it would not last? What does a couple have to talk about when they grew up almost two decades apart! Ashton has more in common with Dem’is daughters!
Twitter: rachael1013
Happy SITS Day! I can’t believe someone was engaged to Drew Carey for 5 years… I feel like if it’s been more than a couple of years, you might start to suspect that wedding isn’t coming. Ever.
Excellent fun! Can’t wait for next Friday!
Wow, it took 2 years to get your SITS day. Didn’t know they were that far behind. I only signed up 4 months ago, so I guess I’d better not hold my breath.
Well, hope yours was worth the wait!
