Christina Aguilera & Baby Max on People Magazine
Posted on February 24, 2008 12:17pm · Filed under: Celebrity Babies, Celebrity Publication
Christina Aguilera and her baby Max Liron Bratman debuted on People magazine cover page last week.
The exclusive cover story will bring you into their home as Christina and husband Jordan Bratman will speak out about parenthood and pose for an exclusive family photo album.
“I’m head over heels in love,” says the singer of her one-month-old baby. “He’s completely changed my life.”
Aguilera describe her emotional moment of Max birth via scheduled C-section.
“The instant I heard his cry, the waterworks started.”
When they placed Max in her arms, “I said, ‘Hi, Papa, hi, my little angel, and he looked up at me and opened his eyes for the first time. The connection was incredible. You can’t believe the love you feel.”
“Jordan is amazing – he’s a natural caretaker,” says the Christina. “He’s so chill with the baby. I love the way we work as a team. I’m so happy to be going through this experience with him.”
Christina’s Mediterranean-style mansion, was previously made famous by the previous residents, Ozzy Osbourne and his family, who lived there starring in their MTV reality show. In the mansion lies a brand-new nursery for baby Max. Aguilera’s favorite piece in the nursery is an 11-ft.-tall moon from her Back to Basics tour. “It was Jordan’s idea,” she says, to include it among the Paddington Bear doll and Nintendo figurines.
People magazine reportedly paid close to $1.5 million for the exclusive photo shoot. New York Post is reporting that the cover story is a flop because the issue is on target to sell only 1.3 million copies last week while People average weekly sales is 1.4 millions.
Nobody seems to care about Christina and her baby Max? Do you?!
In addition to People magazine cover story, Christina and Max will be appearing in Hola (Mexican Hello!), Canadian Hello! and Germany’s OK! magazine.

Britney Spears Teaches Kids At Dance Class
Posted on February 24, 2008 6:54am · Filed under: Celebrity Gossips & News
Britney Spears taught a small group of kids aged between 4 to 7 to dance at Millennium Dance Complex in North Hollywood.
According to Millennium co-owner Robert Baker, a happy and upbeat Britney started off the class by shaking each of the 7 kid’s hand then tells them, “I guess I have to introduce myself to you guys!”
Madonna’s Material Girl and True Blue were part of Britney’s class play list.
Baker’s added, “She worked out this great little routine for them, they were dancing all over the place, she had them dancing in a circle like a choo-choo train. The kids loved it- they are having a ball right now. And Britney- she’s just drinking it up. She’s totally enjoying herself. It’s an amazing class- she and the kids are certainly enjoying the process.”
“Britney’s telling me that she likes this so much that she’s thinking about making it a regular thing, possibly every other week. She loves to interact with the kids, and she feels that it’s important to give back to the dance community,” Baker said.
Spears last saw her sons, Sean and Jayden, on January 3 when she was rushed to Cedars-Sinai for a psychological evaluation due to her suspended visitation rights.
Do you really trust your kids with Britney?

Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman on W Magazine Cover
Posted on February 23, 2008 1:47pm · Filed under: Celebrity Publication
Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman shares the cover page of the newest issue of W magazine.
Both the most gorgeous actress are working together to promote their new movie The Other Boleyn Girl where the pair played the roles as sisters.
In the W magazine cover page article, Scarlett and Natalie talked about their close friendship, views on politics and how they’ve been portrayed in the media.
Here are some highlights from their cover page interview.
On joining the cast of The Other Boleyn Girl
Johansson says the chance to work with Portman is what really sold her on The Other Boleyn Girl. “Natalie was already attached when I read the script,” she says. “And I was desperate to work with her. She was the most attractive aspect of the project to me from the beginning.”
On Being Stereotyped
The actresses understand the stereotyping as much as they take umbrage at it. “I get branded a lot as a good girl,” says Portman. “I’m, like, the prude, and you’re more sexy, more like…” “A harlot!” Johansson blurts, and the two dissolve into laughter.
On Their Friendship
Portman’s restraint and Johansson’s lack of inhibition ended up being quite compatible on set—in fact, says Alison Owen (film producer), they behaved like coconspirators, constantly backing each other up when one had a request or suggestion. “They were like two friends at school,” she says.
At times, Johansson even did the talking for Portman. “Natalie would be uncomfortable in her costume and not say anything,” says Johansson. “She’d tell me, ‘My rib is killing me.’ I’d be like, ‘Natalie, why don’t you say something?’ I’d have to be like, ‘Hellooo, someone, Natalie’s rib is hurting! Can you fix her zipper?’”
On Hating Gossip Magazine (Not blogs)
“You’re never going to find me at the Ivy,” says Johansson, referring to the notorious paparazzi hangout. “I don’t care how good the Cobb salad is. These tabloid magazines—I think they’re hideous and the downfall of society.”
On Political Opinion
Right now, though, fighting the rumor mill is less important to Johansson than fighting for her presidential candidate of choice, Barack Obama. She spent several days in Iowa in January, working the phone banks on his behalf and talking to high school and college students about the importance of caucusing. “I will continue stumping for Obama until he’s elected,” she declares. “The past eight years have been painful for a lot of people. We’re in a state of emergency.”
Portman is still struggling to decide between Obama and Hillary Clinton. She can’t help remembering how impressed she was when she met the latter, who was sponsoring a FINCA-backed bill that went before the Senate. “I met with about 10 representatives that day and Hillary was by far the sharpest. Did you read Gloria Steinem’s op-ed piece?” Portman asks, citing Steinem’s January 8 column about Clinton in the New York Times. “Hillary’s just so experienced.”
On Monogamy
“I’m into monogamy,” says Portman. “But I’m not really into marriage right now. I sort of hate the legal aspect of it. What does the state have to do with it? Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they’re foreign or share my health care benefits because I’m straight”—here her eyes flash with horror—“but if you’re gay, you can’t have that?”
“It’s so archaic,” Johansson agrees. “It’s just, like, bizarre to me. I feel like in 10 or 15 years’ time our children are going to look back and say, ‘What? You were around when gay people weren’t allowed to get married?’”
Johansson goes on to say that she is, for the record, excited about the idea of marriage and having a family. Harlot jokes aside, she’s painfully aware that the press has made much of her sex life—including whether or not she did, in fact, have relations with Benicio Del Toro in an elevator, as was rumored in 2004. (She has denied it.) “I’ve been battered for saying that I don’t believe humans are monogamous by nature,” she says, referring to an interview she gave two years ago. “The response was, like, ‘What a ho-bag!’ I didn’t mean that I don’t practice monogamy in my own life—of course I do! I’m not going to be in some tarty relationship. But I stick by what I said.
“I remember another time,” Johansson continues, getting more and more irritated, “I said I get tested for AIDS twice a year, and again that got spun as me being promiscuous. But I was single at the time, and I think it’s important to do that!”
“That’s totally responsible,” Portman says. “A great role-model thing to talk about.”
“The only thing that’s a little bit annoying,” confesses Portman, when the subject turns to her public profile, “is I feel that I come off kind of boring sometimes.”
“I don’t think you’re boring,” says Johansson in sisterly solidarity.
“Thank you,” says Portman. “I appreciate that.”

The Other Boleyn Girl is scheduled to hit theater on February 29.
We think this is an amazing photo shoot but the makeup artist could have done a better work on Johansson.

Lily Allen Going Green
Posted on February 21, 2008 10:49am · Filed under: Celebs Blogging
Lily Allen, the singer/talk show wannabe who recently got dumped by his boyfriend after suffering a miscarriage has just posted a long-winded message on her official MySpace blog.
“It’s Not That Easy Being Green
Ok so I wrote the longest blog yesterday and then I lost it because I’m a twat, but I’m writing you one now on my brand new MacBook air. I just got in from an exhibition opening, 100 years of Vanity Fair at the National Portrait Gallery, well actually it wasn’t 100 years of Vanity Fair, but if they’d waited 5 more years then it would have been. I can’t believe it’s been going since 1913, amazing really. The Mac Book’s pretty cool, it is so light it’s quite unbelievable, I wonder where they’ll go next, I don’t see how they can get any smaller.
I went to a fashion show this morning and saw some old friends, which was nice, I have been venturing out the last week or so, trying to get back to normality after what has been a rocky start to the year. I went to a pre-bafta party on Saturday with my friend George that was so lovely, he is a wonderful friend and I will always be grateful for his being there. I plan to go to a few things this week, it’s fashion week here in London, so there’s a lot going on, and hopefully it will be a fun week.
My TV show recording went really well on Friday, I was shitting it but I’m really happy with the results, our guests Cuba Gooding Junior and David Mitchell were fabulous and the audience were great too, standing in a hot studio for two hours watching fluff my lines is not my idea of fun , but they seemed to enjoy it . Thank you to the ever supportive Mail on Sunday for their glittering and rave review of the recording , they insinuated a third of the audience left because they were bored of the content of the show , when infact , due to it being the FIRST show we’ve done we ran over a little and naturally a small number of the audience had to catch the last trains back to wherever they came from. I can’t imagine the ” undercover journalist ” who broke into the studio ever had the intention of being positive about it though , obviously .
Anyway , that was fun , I was knackered over the weekend though cause I’ve been working in the studio doing the album , trying to finish it by the end of the month , and then getting back and ploughing through all these books that I have to read . I decided to take up the offer of being one of the judges for “The Orange Book Prize for Fiction” , I have three more books to finish by the end of the week , having read roughly twenty already . Alfie (my little brother) is busy on tour with Equus (a play) and I wasn’t expecting to see him for a while , so it was a lovely surprise when he woke me up on Sunday afternoon , I slept till two o’clock! , my mum had made a roast chicken and it was entirely pleasant spending the afternoon together , we watched the football and then he was gone , off to Glasgow for the next leg of the tour . I am so proud of him , his reviews have been brilliant and he really is fantastic on the stage . I went to see him in Chichester and I was so proud I cried , I miss you Alf . He has been such a good brother to me and I love him.
One last bit of exciting news, I have been miserable lately so I bought myself a new car. It may arrive by the end of the week so something to look forward to. Life is funny isn’t it? To think that a Mac Book or a car is going to be the thing to make you feel better . Something will, soon I hope
I’ll leave you with this, an advert for EDF energy, the song makes me momentarily happy, I have done some research and it turns out it was originally written for Kermit the Frog my Joe Raposo the composer for sesame street. I love it.”

W Magazine: Inside Ryan Phillippe Personal Life
Posted on February 21, 2008 8:26am · Filed under: Celebrity Publication
Ryan Phillippe reveals his heartbroken soul to the March 2008 issue of W magazine. He told the magazine about how he’s living his live since his high profile divorce with Reese Witherspoon two years ago.
This is the preview of his interview with W magazine:
SOLDIERING ON
A high-profile divorce made last year the worst of Ryan Phillippe’s life. Now, with some perspective and an intense new role, he’s ready to move forward. By Gabriel Snyder
You’d think it would be easy to spot Ryan Phillippe. He’s told me to meet him at the Viceroy hotel in Santa Monica. Outside, one of the heaviest rains in years is beginning to fall, and the lobby is practically empty. I station myself on a chaise longue right in front of the main door, where I’ll be sure to get a good look at anyone who enters. A guy walks in wearing a couple days’ worth of stubble, a gray sweatshirt, black cargo pants and a tweed military cap with the brim pulled low. I stare right at his face and then go back to reading the paper. It’s only when this stranger circles back toward the men’s room that I realize my mistake. I sheepishly call out to his back, “Ryan…” When Phillippe turns around, I apologize for not recognizing him, blaming the hat.
“Good,” he says. “It works.”
After the year Phillippe has had, one can easily understand why he’d want to travel incognito. His divorce from Reese Witherspoon—she filed papers in November 2006, and the proceedings were finalized this past October—had tabloids picking over every excruciating detail of their lives in search of what went wrong with the Hollywood golden couple.
The 33-year-old actor is understandably not eager to rehash the specifics. But he is forthright, genuine, even a little vulnerable when the topic comes up. Asked if he’s slowed down his acting career—his upcoming film, Stop-Loss, about Iraq war soldiers, is one of just two films he’s made in two years—he says, “I’ve had a lot of upheaval in my personal life. I wanted to take time to make sure that my kids were okay and to build a new life that was going to be suitable to being a single parent. Every once in a while you kind of want to take a step back and refocus to make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons.”
A little later, Phillippe says his divorce was “the darkest, saddest place I had ever been. It was a struggle—there were a good four or five months of not being able to get out of bed. It was the worst time in my life.” These days, things are better. “You get through it. It’s a process that’s not easy, but I get less and less sad about it every day.”
