Following a more than a year of dating, singer and actress Miley Cyrus and boyfriend Liam Hemsworth put an end to their romance, as his publicist confirms for several media outlets, including Us Magazine. Though reports of the split go back to at least a couple of months, word on the street also said the two were very much in love and even had more serious plans, like getting married once Miley turned 18.
“Miley Cyrus is back on the market. The teen queen, 17, has split with Aussie actor Liam Hemsworth, Hemsworth rep tells UsMagazine. (Cyrus’ rep had no comment.). As of now, it is not yet known what caused the rift and whether the two remain friends, although, judging by Miley’s statements of earlier this year, it’s almost impossible for them not to”, the publication writes.
“[Liam has] become my best friend in the whole wide world. I love him. He really respects me for who I am because coming from Australia, he really didn’t know me as the celebrity I am here,” she said. “I got to tell him about myself on my own terms and my own way. He had no preconceived notion of who I was supposed to be,” Miley added at the time. Read the rest of this entry >>>

Month ago Amy Winehouse’s father confirmed for the British media that, indeed, the singer had moved on from the troubled and unhealthy relationship with her ex, Blake Fielder-Civil, and was seeing filmmaker Reg Traviss. At one point, Traviss was even believed to have managed to get Amy back in rehab – that serious were things between them. Today, Starpulse is reporting the singer may be pregnant.
“Amy Winehouse wore a pink swimsuit with denim hotpants during a night out at Kyashii club in London on Wednesday night after dinner with a friend and a trip to a Soho shop. Looks like she might be pregnant – either that or she has a serious pot belly. What do you think?” the e-zine writes. The theory that she may have what is commonly known as a “beer gut” is just as good a guess as being pregnant is, word in the blogosphere has it. In fact, the latter may actually apply, since Winehouse clearly seemed under the influence when these photos were taken and she was also smoking.
“Amy joined reggae singer Damian Marley and rapper Nas for the evening to celebrate Damian’s birthday. The trio partied well into the night at the London sushi hotspot before moving on to the Runway club, around the corner, before returning to Kyashii to carry on partying until almost 5 a.m. We hope she’s not partying too hard if she’s expecting!” Starpulse further writes.
Nowadays, news about celebrity going to rehab is no longer a new thing especially for those who are really in demand. Actually, it is not just celebrities who are victimized by addiction; almost all people are at risk of this one. Neighbors, relatives and even our family member can get into trouble at any given time. Why would that be? Well, it is so easy to acquire addicting products in the market nowadays given that you have ample amount of money to pay for it. Even if people know that it will harm them in the long run, the thought of using such products make them feel good outweighs their ability to think clearly. That is why lots of people go to rehab these days.
Anyway, speaking of rehab I found this Passages Malibu center when I was checking something in my friendster account. They offer a unique approach to holistic drug and alcohol abuse recovery in which they treat the underlying cause of addiction and is located in Malibu, CA. Since they are giving high level of treatment and privacy many celebrities who became an addict attended Passages Malibu. Of course, we will keep their names private because that is a very personal thing.
Like most people who like celebrities, I instantly checked the Passages Malibu blog to know if there are updates about certain actors and actresses who attend the service. But, it site is still under construction. And, I also figured out that if they have celebrity patients this time, they won’t bother to pose about it. It is such a silly thing for me to think. Well, I guess I’ll just have to rely on celebrity news online and other gossip shows to know the latest buzz about the stars.
Many might not know it, but I am a big fan of Britney Spears before she lost her track. Now she’s back and has joined forces with Candie’s again for a new campaign, following the immense success that was the one for the Fall 2009 collection. This time, though, to prove that the company is indeed branching out to cater to other age segments as well, the campaign is also taking on a more serious note, thanks to the contribution of the world’s top fashion photographers shooting the singer.
The ads just made their way online and, while many of them are still in the same shade of delicious pink as those from the previous campaign, others are more low-key, with more emphasis on the main star – Britney – and the creations she models. These, in turn, range from Greek goddess-type of dresses to the cutest lingerie items and girlie pyjamas, with these last items coming, of course, is various shades of pink.
Speaking with MTV about the campaign, Britney gushed about what an “honor” it is to be asked back for a second season and to have had the opportunity to work with such wonderful photographers. “Annie, Mark and Terry are three of the biggest photographers in the world. I am honored to be working with them for my Candie’s Only at Kohl’s ads. It was an amazing shoot, and I know my fans are going to love the cool images… I’m very excited to be working with Candie’s for a second season,” the singer said.
The Hollywood stunner Charlize Theron and Irish actor Stuart Townsend is no longer an item after dating for about nine years. Though no announcement regarding this was made officially, Charlize has been photographed on a couple of occasions without the commitment ring Townsend gave her and that she reportedly said she would never take off, the Daily Mail informs.
They were not married yet but that was only because marriage would change anything about the way they felt for each other, or that it would, somehow, make their relationship better. As far as they were concerned, they were husband and wife and did not need a marriage license to prove it. What they did have as a symbol of their commitment to each other was a ring Townsend gave the actress and that she promised never to take off for as long as they were together.
During the Hope for Haiti telethon last weekend, Charlize first appeared without the ring. “The stunning 5ft 11in South African has told close friends that she decided to split from the Irish actor following a Christmas trip to Mexico and has since stopped wearing the antique ‘commitment ring’ that Townsend gave her as a symbol of their relationship,” the Mail writes. Details of the split, coming from sources close to the couple, would indicate that being the breadwinner in the couple also took its toll on the relationship and eventually prompted Charlize to break it off.
67th Annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony was a fabulous event, with stars rocking only the best evening outfits, matched with incredible jewelry and other designer accessories. Of the female celebrities that have walked the red carpet last night, a handful has done so with a purpose: that of bringing exposure to their outfits, which will be auctioned to benefit Haiti, as MTV News informs.
Olivia Wilde, star of “House M.D.” spoke to MTV right there on the red carpet, and stressed that the media exposure should also be used with a good purpose in mind. She and many other women have pledged to auction the gowns they wore at the Globes and then donate all the proceeds to a charity that will see that the victims of the latest earthquake in Haiti will be provided with whatever they need at this time.
“Wilde and her colleagues – including Streep, Josh Brolin, Gerard Butler, Amy Poehler and Jenna Fischer – are auctioning off their Globe outfits for an organization called Artists for Peace and Justice, with all proceeds going to help the people of Haiti. One hundred percent of the proceeds with go directly toward the relief effort. ‘It’s a really cool thing and hopefully we can turn all this fashion coverage into something positive,’ said Wilde, who wore a Gucci gown,” MTV informs.
Olivia Wilde is not the only celebrity to get involved in the charities looking to offer some sort of relief to victims in Haiti. George Clooney will host a telethon for the same cause on January 22, while many other stars have already donated money. These include Madonna, will.i.am, Sandra Bullock and many others.
Did you know that Paris Hilton a Hollywood’s former wild child and socialite extraordinaire, is now the wife of Britain’s Got Talent judge Piers Morgan? The two tied the knot in a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas the other day. In attendance: Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley. Well, this was just a match made in reality heaven, a mock wedding to promote Morgan’s upcoming reality show.
“Piers had persuaded Paris to take part in the 15-minute spoof ceremony at The Little Church of the West, to be aired on his VH1 show Piers Morgan on Saturday, January 2, 2010 at 9 PM ET,” the same publication writes. Morgan even joked about the legality of the ceremony, telling the British media that, “Well, I don’t think I signed anything, so I’m pretty sure it’s not actually legal. Having said that, we did go through all the vows, so I can’t be entirely sure.”
As it’s already known, though they were bride and groom for the spoof segment, both stars are in serious relationships. Paris Hilton is dating on-and-off flame Doug Reinhardt, while Piers Morgan is engaged to be married to Celia Walde.
According to the news, Angelina Jolie was reaping praises from the media after the word got out that she and Brad Pitt contributed with approximately $6.4 million to charity this year. Today, she’s again tabloid fodder because she secretly hates President Barack Obama for not sharing the same views as her on the measures that need to be implemented for progress.
As the actress sees it, Obama is actually mostly trying to get people’s attention away from what’s really important with the help of rather cheap tactics. Moreover, her opinions as regards the President and the measures he’s taken so far have often made it so that she and partner Brad Pitt, an outspoken Obama supporter, have repeatedly gotten into heated arguments.
Her political views often clash with that of Brad, and the fight a lot precisely because both are committed to what they believe and can hardly accept that someone else could also be right. They get in nasty arguments all the time about it. She doesn’t respect Brad when it comes to politics, but in the end, this won’t tear them apart, reportedly by close friend of the couple.
On a brighter note, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s charitable efforts got a lot of positive media the other day, when it emerged they had donated over $6 million to several causes they have supported throughout the years. Of these, $2 million went to Global Health, $1 million to Human Rights Watch, $1 million to Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation, $500,000 to the Armed Services YMCA of the US Army, $50,000 to the Springfield, Missouri Public Schools, and $1 million for several projects in Cambodia.
