Sting's Night Out, Brad's Nights In

The Daily Mail (UK) says Sting was spotted outside a high-end brothel in Hamburg late one night after a show (shown here, a shot from one of the promotional brochures).  The singer, of course, denies it.
So does the club. But what else would he be doing in their parking lot at a quarter past two in the morning?

Besides, his wife probably doesn't care. He could have any woman in the world and he's with her.

Still, you have to watch out when you're dating a star. If I were giving advice to Angie and Brad, I'd warn her to quit taking him for granted.  People are so in love with Brad that, in one Namibian hotel, there is a fee to sit in a chair that Brad once sat in. I am not kidding.  Instead though, she tells people (or, rather, some blogs say she told someone) that she thinks he's bad with money often wants him to "be quiet and look pretty," and who wants to put up with that?

Way more fun to hang out with Sting til the early hours.

Rose McGowan & Robert Rodriguez Couple Up

Rose McGowan is reportedly the other woman behind "Grind House" director Robert Rodriguez's split from his wife of 16 years, Elizabeth Avellan, and the cause behind the film's one-month production sabbatical.

According to Variety, the affair started on the set of the film last year, on which Avellan served as a co-producer, and when she discovered his rendezvous with the pale-skinned, raven-haired star, "production had to shut down for a month while (Rodriguez) recovered" from the break-up.

The two weren't shy about their illicit romance though once production resumed. According to a source:

"It was the worst-kept secret on the set. They were going off to his trailer, having meals together. Rose thought some of the crew were treating her differently, and the attitude was, like, well what do you expect when you're (bleeping) the director?"

While still going strong a year later, the couple has adopted a more clandestine approach to their relationship in public.

"They arrived in the same limo for the L.A. premiere, but they got out separately several minutes apart to avoid being seen together."

Meanwhile, Rodriguez and Avellan plan on sharing custody of their five children, sons Rebel, Rocket, Rogue and Racer and daughter Rhiannon, and will maintain their professional relationship too as partners in Troublemaker Studios.

Marie Osmond Dumps Husband While ABC Dumps Brother Donny

Marie Osmond and her husband of 20 years, music producer Brian Blosil, announced on Friday through Osmond's publicist, that they're calling it quits:

"Though our marriage is ending, we continue to have a very amicable relationship. Our marriage has always been a faithful one, and neither of us is assigning fault for the divorce."

Together the couple have two biological children and five adopted children.  Osmond also has a son from her first marriage to Stephen Craig,whom she divorced in 1985.

In other Osmond news, Marie's brother Donny got word late last week that his new reality show, "The Great American Dream Vote," has been pulled from the ABC lineup after just two episodes, due to what's being called a "ratings nightmare."

The series is said to have pulled in a paltry 4.5 million viewers and tanked fifth in its time slot on Wednesday nights. A spokesperson for the show said on Friday that there were no plans to bring the series back.

Catherine Zeta Jones & Michael Douglas: A Combustible Union?

Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas's six-year marriage may be going down the tubes - fast:

A 'friend' (and I use that term loosely) has been quoted as telling Woman's Day magazine:

"The cracks have been showing for quite some time now. They used to spend loads of time together. Not any more. Back when they first got together and had really hectic schedules, they always made time for one another. But now, with endless time on their hands, they can barely stand being together. Whenever they're in the same room it usually turns into a blazing row. It's a very combustible situation."

Tomkat: Once Is Not Enough

Because there are apparently a few people left in the universe who didn’t get properly excited over their Italian nuptials (and shame on you, shame on you all for not genuflecting at the mere mention of the most amazing couple and their most amazing wedding…EVER!), Tom Cruise and his lovely bride (and future ex-wife) Katie Holmes will be holding yet another wedding reception - this time in Los Angeles at the home of The Cruise-ster’s producing partner, Paula Wagner (wait another day and I’m sure they’ll release her address and detailed directions to her home; they’re so accommodating that way).  It’s said to be for "friends who couldn’t make it to their lavish Italian wedding."   

This comes a week after the couple returned from their honeymoon in the Maldives, where "sources" say it was a "family occasion" with them playing with the formerly reclusive Suri "all the time."  Well, not all the time.  According to another source, they visited a Fesdu Island resort where "they sunbathed by the pool, read philosophy books and went snorkeling in the lagoon. Later, they took Suri for a swim."  Wow, they covered all the bases, didn’t they?  Family fun time?  Check.  Beautiful island getaway?  Check.  Intellectual stimulation?  You betcha.  Golly, they’re just too good to be true! Do you think if we all tell them that they stop with the announcements of every move they make?

Have Madonna & Guy Been Seeing a Marriage Counselor?

I have no idea how true this is - if at all, but according to most recent rumors, a source has been quoted as telling a newspaper in Britain that Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have been seeing a marriage counselor after their relationship reportedly took a nose dive following the recent adoption of baby David from Malawi.

A source has reportedly told the media outlet:

"The marriage is near rock-bottom. They've been putting on a united front in public but behind closed doors their marriage has come under strain. The publicity surrounding the adoption has created a difficult atmosphere in their home. After a heart-to-heart they decided to seek the help of a marriage guidance specialist. Madonna and Guy both dote on little David but it is her attitude that can irritate and upset Guy. She drove the whole adoption process from start to finish and Guy was left trailing in her slipstream just nodding and going along with things."

Honestly, this wouldn't suprise me if it were true.  We mentioned something of a similar nature in a previous post back in October.

Tomkat in Paradise: Honeymoon Maldivian Style

More information is coming in about the “super secret” honeymoon destination of the most amazing couple in the world (EVER)—no, not Brad and Angelina—Tom Cruise and Kat(i)e Holmes.

As was previously reported (by the newlyweds—or would that be neverweds, seeing as the legality of their blessed, Scientology-sanctioned union is still a bit iffy), The Cruise-ster and his future ex-wife high-tailed it out of Rome in the wee hours of Sunday morning for the remote coral islands in the Indian Ocean, where they’re staying in style on Tom’s buddy, James Packer’s luxury yacht.  All stories seem to agree on one thing: The previously reclusive, yet now baby-about-town, Suri is with them.  We know this because, well, they told us and because unnamed “witnesses” have said they saw the couple carrying her, “kissing her head” and bringing along “lots of toys.”  Because toys equates to babies like $3,000 worth of sexy lingerie equates to bomp-chicka-bomp-bomp…

Moving on, what’s less clear is a report that the couple brought along yet another guest, that being Tom’s BFF—and Best Man—David Miscavage.  Miscavage is famously known not for being Maverick’s buddy, but rather for being the Head of the Church of Scientology. 

Because that’s not creepy at all!

Of course, it must be pointed out that no one has seen Mr. Miscavage in the Maldives, and the rumor surfaced because Rome airport officials claimed to have seen him boarding the plane with the couple. 

But, then again, no one saw Suri for months and we just took her existence on faith, now didn’t we?

Tomkat Wedding Watch: "And...scene."

After all the pomp, after all the circumstance, did "the most amazing wedding (EVER)" even officially occur? 

Well, that's a matter of debate. 

What we do know is the circus that "Tomkat" brought to the small Italian village of Bracciano was not, in fact, a legally binding marriage.  See, The Cruise-ster and his future ex-wife had their hearts set on a Scienotology wedding (because isn't it every girl's dream to be offered "a pan, a comb, perhaps a cat" in her vows?), which isn't recognized in Italy.  However - conveniently - when questions arose about this their rep clarified:

"As is customary for couples marrying outside of the United States, Cruise and Holmes officialized their marriage in Los Angeles prior to their departure for Italy."

(Sidebar: Not really.  Destination weddings, especially in Italy, can be as legal as if they occurred in Anywhere, U.S.A.  All it takes is getting a wedding license in the country of choice.)

Well, phew!  I feel better!  I'd hate to think I was snowed on the wedding of the year...no, make that the decade...or is that the century?

In other noteworthy news, Giorgio Armani couldn't wait to talk to the press about all the sewin' and stitchin' he did (seriously, did he even stay for cake?):

"Katie wanted a simple, elegant dress that was rich in material with a slim silhouette," he says. "I couldn't have been more in agreement. I wanted to make it modern but at the same time, complement the sweetness and energy she conveys." 

What she ended up with was an off-the-shoulder gown with an ivory train adorned in Valenciennes lace and Swarovski beaded crystal embroidery. She also had an ivory tulle floor-length veil and ivory silk shoes.

For the groom, Armani outfitted him with a navy blue tuxedo from the Giorgio Armani Hand Made to Measure collection. The jacket label read, "Giorgio Armani for Tom Cruise."

Interestingly enough, Armani also outfitted Momma Holmes, Momma Cruise, and one each of Tom and Katie's (or is it Kate's now?) sisters.  It should be noted they each have three female siblings, begging the question: did the others have to shop at Filene's Basement (note: no mention of these siblings even being there could be found in any of the official press releases)?

As to the vaunted A-list guest list? 

Well, it was decidedly underwhelming: Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy. 

So, it's done - allegedly. 

After sealing their wedded bliss with a "never-ending kiss" that had guests yelling "Stop!  Stop!" (seriously, stop; overcompensation is such an ugly word.) the couple jetted off to a secret honeymoon location, that they immediately released to the press--the island of Maldives (but I'm sure no one will bother them...). 

Now on to the important stuff:  Who wants to start the divorce pool?

Wedding Watch: The Mothership Has Landed

Just in case anyone still cares about them (and, please, you should, you really, really should!  They are the most amazing couple.  EVER!), Tom Cruise and his future ex-wife and baby momma, Katie (or is that Kate?) Holmes, arrived in Rome today, in preparation for the wedding of the year!  I know, I’m excited, too!

US Weekly even caught a photo of Tom disembarking his private jet holding the always-reclusive Suri Cruise.  At least that’s what the caption says.  The red-clad figure The Cruise-ster is holding sort of looks like a doll.  And I don’t mean as in "oh, dear Xenu, she is SUCH a little doll!"  No, I mean as in a child’s play toy.  Arms and legs straight out, not hanging on to "Daddy."  It’s just another level of weirdness on top of a mountain of strange. 

But would we really want it any other way?
