“My sense of what’s dangerous is completely warped. People have stopped asking me for advice, because I encourage people to go anywhere,” says Anderson Cooper in the new issue of Outside magazine.
Jessica Simpson is Glamour magazine’s June 2008 cover girl. Inside the magazine she talks about her love for Tony Romo among other things. Here is a taste of the interview.
On Tony Romo helping her feel like she was something again: “He made me feel comfortable [being myself] again,” Simpson says. “This article could come out and Tony and I could be broken up, but he still deserves all the accolades for bringing me back to who I am.”
On how Tony and her met: “…He e-mailed me and we flirted over e-mail and on the phone. We got to know each other by talking, which I think is the best way,” Simpson says.
On being nervous when they first met in person: “I had butterflies that you would not imagine. I wanted to puke in the cupholder,” Simpson said.
On her first date and kiss with Tony: “I said, ‘Were you just trying to kiss me in front of all these people?’…I was taken aback by someone wanting to kiss me in public. Because normally people are ashamed.”
Catch the rest of the interview in Glamour magazine on news stands next Tuesday.
Magician and illusionist David Blaineset a new world record today on Oprah. He held his breath underwater for 17 minutes and 4 seconds today, finally overcoming the shame of his last attempt. Two years ago, Blaine tried to break this record and went into convulsions.
“A lifelong dream,” a glad Blaine, 35, told Oprah moments after setting the record in a water-filled sphere. “I can’t believe that I did that.”
The previous record for holding one’s breath under water was 16 minutes and 32 seconds.
Actor Jason Biggs of American Pie fame secretly wed his girlfriend of 9 months, actress Jenny Mollen on April 23.
Star Magazine reports, Jason, 30, and Jenny, 27, were married at City Hall in Los Angeles. No family or friends were present.
“Jason and Jenny agreed that they did not want to deal with the whole family thing because it would have been too stressful on both of them,” says an insider. “They thought it would be a lot more relaxing to do it just the two of them with no pressure. It was a very private wedding and that is exactly how they wanted it.”
The cute couple met on the set of My Best Friend’s Girl, coming out in September. Congratulations!
One time I saw this guy, and his shirt read, “I come from the streets” and it had a picture of Sesame Street. That reminded me of David Beckham‘s new guest appearance on the mean streets of Sesame! I really hope Big Bird doesn’t f*ck him up in an alley!
David said on his blog, “Last week, I filmed an appearance on the children’s show Sesame Street. I can remember watching the program when I was young, so I was delighted to be asked on to appear as a guest.”
A source close to Davidadds, “He loves dealing with kids and thought it would be a great way to get through to them. He has developed a great understanding speaking to children with his own boys and through his coaching at the Beckham soccer schools. He had a great time filming it, a real laugh.”
Aww, I can’t wait to see this! I know I’m 24 and all, but Sesame Street is about the last unjaded television show we have left!
Alicia Keys performed on the Late Show With David Letterman last night, and although she sounded great, hooo boy did girl ever make some bad fashion choices!
Her dress definitely shows off her curves, but the one-piece, monotone look just isn’t cutting it for her. And ‘licia? I know that you generally don’t wear things like this, but why didn’t someone tell you can’t wear undies (even a thong) under stuff this form-fitting? Girl, it SHOWS. Her hair looks much better natural than straightened – it looks limp and flat here. And the items that are strapped onto her feet which I can only assume she intends to be shoes? Ummm… what are those things – a pair of strappy sandals that got attacked by a tweed messenger bag?
Paris Hilton wore this Diane Von Furstenberg dress while hitting up the German talk show circuit, while Gwen Stefani wore this pretty dress to a friend’s L.A. baby shower.
Once again giving the nation ample reason to believe that she drinks before going on the air, Paula Abdulgot goofy on last night’s American Idol.
The judges usually critique each singer in turn after they perform. Last night they decided to wait until all the contestants had sung one song, then gave all the feedback together.
Paula couldn’t handle the change, though.
Shuffling through notecards, the visibly flustered judge offered up her criticism on two songs by Jason Castro. The problem: He’d only sung one song.
“Jason, first song, I loved hearing your lower register, which we never really hear, um….” Abdul began. “The second song, I felt like your usual charm wasn’t — it was missing for me. It kind of left me a little empty.”
The five contestants and Ryan Seacrest stood on the stage, baffled.
“The two songs,” Abdul went on, “made me feel like you’re not fighting hard enough to get into the top four.”
When Randy Jackson finally corrected her, first she claimed she thought Jason had sung two, then said she got confused because she looked ahead in her notes.
Check out the video! She looks completely out of it and then claims, “This is hard!” Yes, Paula, we are sure that it is very hard for you to get up and get out of bed and be vertical and look relatively conscious… what’s in that Coca-Cola cup that’s always on the table in front of you anyway??
It is official! Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer are the new hot celebrity couple to follow. InTouch has the exclusive photos of a romantic weekend between them:
He [John Mayer] flew to Miami on April 23 and checked into the Four Seasons hotel, but insiders say that he spent virtually no time there during his visit — opting instead to hang out in the $3,000-a-night presidential suite at the Mandarin Oriental, where Jen has been staying while shooting the movie Marley & Me. And the two were inseparable over the long weekend. When asked how he was doing, after spending four days with his new love, John smiled. “My weekend was good,” he told In Touch exclusively.
Jen could do so much better… I think John is such a player. I just don’t see him settling down anytime soon and having a family.
We know Jennifer wants her own kids and she is trying to find the right guy, could it be John Mayer??
Kate admits she wasn’t always such a glamorous figure:
“I was a tomboy. I had three brothers. I was the girl with the dress on that always came back in the house filthy with scrapes and bruises. But I was always very girly. I had to be able to twirl so that my underwear showed.”
The publication’s annual list also includes Salma Hayek, Mary J. Blige, Sarah Silverman, Christina Applegate, Eva Longoria & Tony Parker, Isla Fisher, and the entire Gossip Girls cast. Check out the preview gallery below!
