At least we don't have to suffer through corny nicknames anymore
Ever since Ben Afflek and Jennifer Lopez became a couple and were dubbed "Bennifer" oh those many years ago, we've had to deal with "Brangelina" and, most recently with John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston, "Janiston" (a bit of a stretch?). But no more, last week we had the rumors of their breakup, this week those rumors were confirmed. By who, you may ask. An anonymous "source", or worse, Perez Hilton? Surprisingly it was John himself who said, "I ended the relationship. . .because I don't want to waste somebody's time if something's not right" he went on to say that she is, "one of the most lovely people I've ever met".
Hollywood people aren't all badHere's a touching story, you may recall that when Heath Ledger died he was in the middle of shooting a new movie. A trio of A-list stars stepped in to complete his role; Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell have all decided to donate their paychecks from the job to Heath's young daughter, Matilda. When the actor died he had apparently left behind an old will that did not include Matilda. The trio of actors felt that the money should rightfully go towards taking care of her. The director of the movie, Terry Gilliam, called the move, "extraordinary".
Who's gonna be hoofing it next?
A source is claiming to have compiled a full list of the "stars" (and I use the term loosely with some of these people) who will be prancing on the next season of Dancing with the Stars. The list, allegedly, looks like this: Kim Kardashian, Lance Bass, Toni Braxton, Brooke Burke, Susan Lucci, Hannah Montana actor Cody Linley, actor Ted McGinley, Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, 82 year old Cloris Leachman, Comedian Jeff Ross, of course you have to have a football player so they have apparently enlisted Warren Sapp, and they've gotten into the Olympic spirit with sprinter Maurice Green and newly minted gold medalist Misty May-Treanor.
Take the list with a grain of salt, but I'll be happy to say I told ya so if it's true when the actual contestants are announced on Monday.
"Oh hey, about that movie..."One of the bigger stories last week was the fact that Warner Brothers has decided to push the next installment of the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from it's planned November release to next July (conspicuously to the same weekend that The Dark Knight, another WB property, opened this Summer and made enough money to support a medium sized country). There's only one problem, the studio didn't bother to give the heads-up to Entertainment Weekly, which just happens to be a sister-division of parent company Time Warner, Inc. So EW went ahead and released their annual fall movie preview with the boy-wizard gracing the cover. Maybe the ole' company email was down that day.
Quick Hits
* Phil Collins has set a new record in his homeland. It's not going to be one he'll brag about though, a British court has ordered he pay an unprecedented $46.76 million to his most recent ex-wife. That's $2 million more than Paul McCartney recently had to cough up to Heather Mills.
* Congrats to Point artists Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, they welcomed a new baby boy to the family this morning. Giving Apple Martin and Coco Arquette a run for their money, the new bully target has reportedly been dubbed Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale.
* For the Sopranos fan in your family, check this out - The Sopranos: The Complete Series will feature all 86 episodes on 28 discs, two discs of bonus material, two soundtrack CDs, and a 56 page album. The whole thing weighs in at 10 pounds and will set you back $400. It'll be out, naturally, just in time for the holidays, on November 11th.
