Your Day

Happy Birthday C.

Heaven is a better place because you're there.

We miss you and love you lots.

xoxoxo

Music makes the soul feel GOOD!

I know, I know, I'm a bad blogger. It's been some while. But in my defense, I have thought about you a lot. There have been things I wanted to share, talk about, discuss...but I have been so busy. I have neglected you, and I hope you'll forgive me. Work is nuts right now, so busy busy busy. I haven't had a spare moment to write, so I am deeply sorry. The truth is, I am still beyond busy without a second to spare, but there is something just too important not to share with you.....


Two words...


JASON MRAZ.

Go out right now and buy his new CD called "We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things."


Don't even think about it, just do it. It's a-ma-za-zing. Every single song. The lyrics are sweet and beautiful and it just makes me feel so good. My favorite tracks are: I'm Yours, Lucky, Butterfly and It Kills Me. Oh and also, Only Human, Details in the Fabric, The Dynamo of Volition....eh, who am I kidding? The whole CD is perfection. If you like Jack Johnson (is there anyone that doesn't?) then you will dig this CD.

Trust me on this one. Really.
You won't be disappointed.

Oh yea, it's back!

What's two more?

Brad and Angie can add twin girls to their expanding brood! The rumor is that Ang gave birth finally and everyone is doing great.

The babies are named Isla (pronounced eye-la) Marcheline (after Angie’s mom) and Amelie Jane (after Brad’s mom) Jolie-Pitt.

This makes the fifth and sixth children for the super parents. Already they have Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3 and Shiloh, 2.

.

Congrats!

*UPDATE

A Brangelina rep issued this statement, "Angelina has not given birth. She is fine, enjoying her home and her family in France." I guess the rumors were wrong. I wonder if those names are correct?

When You’re Drunk...

It's not complicated

Snip Snip

My gorgeous nephew got his first haircut yesterday

and he sat through it like a trooper!

Look at that face..don't you just wanna squeeze him?

His big brother (my Godphew) sat in on the action!

All done! Isn't he hadnsome?!!!

Undercover Lovers?

Lindsey Lohan has repeatedly denied rumors that her and her bff Samantha Ronson are actually lovers. She swears up and down that they're not. Ok, fine. We believe you.

.

This photo was snapped of them in Cannes this and they look pretty cozy to me. The look in Linds face looks pretty passionate. Or maybe she's just really tired? Or maybe she's in love? Hey, if you're a couple, be proud! There is nothing wrong with it. So, what do you think? Judging from this photo, are they more than friends?

Who's that girl?

Can you tell who this is? At first I had no idea, but when I really looked at the face, I realized it was Alanis Morissette! She sure looks different.

Around the block

Nicole and Joel took little baby Harlow out for a stroll around their neighbourhood yesterday. Look how cute and normal they are!

Hook Ups

Sparks are flying between Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves on the set of their new movie, and they are rumored to be insperable. Could they be Hollywoods newest couple?

Shopping Spree

Can you imagine bumping into Brad and Angelina

at your local Toys R Us?

Baldy

Check out Cameron Diaz on the set of her new film, My Sisters Keeper. It's rumored that she actually shaved her head for this part and I wouldn't doubt it. She seems like such a cool, kick back person and probably didn't even flinch when asked. She still looks gorgeous!

Stunner

Now this is how your do pregnant with twins!

Gorgeous!

(click on photo for a closer look)

And look how cute Papa Pitt is with Shiloh!!!

She has Mommy's lips, thats for sure!

Mr. and Mrs. Alba

People Magazine is reporting that Jessica Alba and her baby daddy Cash Warren very quietly got married on Monday.

.

According to a source "they were married in the Beverly Hills courthouse's ceremony room under an arch of green silk foliage and white flowers. They were casually dressed, with Alba wearing a long blue dress and her hair back in a ponytail.

.

'She looked happy but nervous,' the source says. Warren, in a white shirt and brown pants, arrived with Alba at about 11:30 a.m. on Monday, applied for a marriage license and waited about 40 minutes for the paperwork to be processed before a staff member from the courthouse married them, the source says.

.

Nobody else attended the wedding, the source adds. Alba, 27, is expecting a daughter with Warren, 31, this summer. The couple met while filming Fantastic Four."

.

Congratulations to Hollywood's most boring couple! Ok, that's not nice, it's a special time for them so I will give them a break. I really do hope the best for them. They seem happy and in love, and that's what it's all about!

Wentz Wedding

On Saturday evening, at the home of her parents, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were married. Dad, Joe Simpson officiated over the non-denominational ceremony under white tents. (Remember, before he was stage dad extrondinare he was a preacher.) The theme was Alice in Wonderland and the 150 guests all had a great time partying the night away. Once person that wasn't taking advantage of the open bar was the bride, seeing as she's with baby. Yes, Ashlee is pregnant...so that explains the quickie wedding!

Lance and Kate sitting in a tree

New couple alert.
Discuss.

Baby Showing

Nicole Kidman is finally actually showing! She looks good pregnant. I'm glad these two worked it out.

Zoo Bound

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale take Kingston to the L.A. Zoo on Saturday. Kingston will be turning two in May, while Gwen is pregnant with their second child. Aren't they such a cute family?

TIme Travel

I just heard Bad English, "When I see you smile" on the radio and oh my gosh, it took me right back to 1989 when I was a freshman in high school. It seemed like everything was so important at that time. Life or death. Isn't it funny how hearing a song can totally transport you back to another time in your life?

Old School

I haven't listned to KROQ for a while, but I have had it on during work this past week. And I never knew they played so much of Rage against the Machine. I love that band, seem them 3 times live before the broke up. And I have heard 2 of their songs today alone. Sweet!

Ice Cream Heaven

Irvine Robbins, co-founder of the Baskin- Robbins ice cream empire has passed away at the age of 90 years old. The comforting thing is knowing that a lot of people that I love and cherish will be up in heaven, chowing down on rocky road, mint chip and the other 29 flavors.

Check out this really interesting article about his life, success and how he brought the happy happy joy joy of desserts to the masses.

We all know

Dear Rihanna and Chris Brown,
Even though you keep denying that you're a couple and insisting that you are merely Platonic friends, we know. We all know. And what is it that we know? We know that you're "together." And now we finally have proof. Hello kissy kissy in KFC. I think you guys are adorable together, so why all the mystique? Only Jay Z and Beyonce can pull that crap. So, say it loud, say it proud and own it!
Love, your friend, Gina

Godphew is growing up

Happy 2nd Birthday to my gorgeous, wonderful, awesome, smart, funny and fantastical Godson Nicolas!!

I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Split

This is sad to hear, but Liv Tyler and her husband Royston Langdon, have decided to separate after five years.

Her rep confirms the news to PEOPLE. "Liv Tyler and Royston Langdon have confirmed their separation. They remain good friends and devoted parents to their son Milo and are requesting that their family's privacy be respected at this time."

I really like Liv Tyler. Me and the girls saw her one time when we were at the airport in Phoenix and she was so chill and normal and nice. Hopefully they can get through this and still remain on good terms. I see that happening, she seems very non-confrontational.

Hot family alert

How hot are these photos of Nicole, Joel and baby Harlow from the new Harpers Bazaare? When I have a kid, I totally want to do a photo shoot like this, all rock and roll and stuff. You think I'm being sarcastic, but I'm not. I'm serious!

.

How cute is this? They're a little family.

The wild girl has finally settled down and is enjoying being a Mom.

.

I think they work so well together. And call me crazy, but I think they have a real shot of staying together. They said they're in no rush to get married and are just enjoying the new role of being parents to Harlow.

.

If you know me at all you know how much I love Nicole Richie, even when she was totally crazy. I dig her style and humor and the whole thing. This photo of her and Harlow is gorgeous and you can just tell that she's softened and is focused on being a great Mom.

Done Deal

Well, here it is. The photo from Mariah and Nicks wedding.

This is nuts. And if you think that is rushing it, here's what she told People Magazine: "One thing (few people) knew was we got tattoos a few weeks earlier. So anyone who saw my ("Mrs. Cannon") tattoo wasn't surprised." Oh, and not to be outdone, Nick got Mariah's named tattooed on his back. It goes from shoulder to shoulder. Good times.

She went on to say that she hopes they will have children soon, "I'd just want our children to have the best childhood and upbringing they possibly could." Um, didn't you say you were eternally 12? How is a 12 year old going to raise babies?

Ok, ok, I'm being all Debbie Downer again, I'm sorry. I don't know what it is about them two that rubs me the wrong way. I think it's just the fact that they were together less then 2 months before getting inked and married. Yea, that must be it.

Hey Girl Hey!

This is Jasmine and I have to give her a shout out because she is graduating from high school next month! Her family and my family are long time friends and I have known Jasmine since before she was born. She's like my little sister and I'm so proud of her! She grew up so fast and now all of a sudden she's about to step into the real world. Time flies!!!

Bookworm

The last five books I have read:

Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedies and Larry Sloman

















Save Me from Myself:How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story, by Brian "Head" Welch



















Wonderful Tonight:George Harrison, Eric Clapton, and Me, by Pattie Boyd and Penny Junor

Tommyland, by Tommy Lee and Anthony Bozza

















The Dirt:Confessions of the World's Most Notorious Rock Band, by Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx and Mick Mars

The book I am currently reading:

Slash, by Slash and Anthony Bozza

Do you sense a theme?

Mr. and Mrs. Cannon

Well, I guess they really did it. Good for them!

.

In People's new issue, Mariah calls Nick her "soul mate." Let's hope so. Incase it doesn't work out, word is she has a pre nup...smart girl.

.

And maybe it's just me, but what's up with that veil? That looks an awful lot like a table cloth to me. And the bottom left photo...I'm pretty sure that's from her "Bye Bye" video..so ya, that's kind of weird. But I did hear they got matching tattoos. That should be interesting.

.

Do I sound kind of negative? I don't mean to. I honestly hope they are both very happy and in love and are married forever. I just don't understand why people jump into this kind of thing? Did you read what the cover says? "Six week romance".....come on! Why is it acceptable just because they're famous? Whatever happened to courting someone?

Rylett step it up a notch

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds are getting hitched!

A rep for them has confirmed the rumor that he proposed and she said yes! They have been dating for a little over a year and seem to have a pretty low key relationship.

Congrats!!!!

Kobe gets his props

I don't know why it took so long, but whatever, it finally happened...

Kobe Bryant has been selected as the NBA's most valuable player!!!

Read all about it here.

Congrats Kobe!

They're Manolo Blahnik and cost a mere $655 (gulp!)

I know, I know, it's never going to happen...

...but a girl can dream can't she?

Taking it old school

John Mayer got himself a new hair do to go with his new tattoo's and girlfriend (Jen Aniston.) Here's what he has to say about it on his blog:

“Today I set off on my newest project; to grow and maintain an authentic ’80s style feathered haircut. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for some time and I’m very excited to bring this amazing look into today’s pop culture landscape. The feathered cut projects an attitude of ease and quiet confidence that seems to have all but eluded our generation.

This is a work in progress, and as my hair grows longer it will serve to become a more stirring and poignant statement.”

I'm not loving the style, but I can look past it as it's John. By the way, He's going to be in concert on July 27th and I want to go soooooooooo bad!!!! I've seen him once before with Maroon5 and he was incredible!!!

Redo

I can't wait for tomorrow.

My BFF is coming back into town.

And you know when we all get together.....

it's bananas!

Pride and Joy

Check out my gorgeous Godphew and Nephew.

I can't believe how fast they are growing up!

Run, dont' walk

Was that the fastest enagement period in history?

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon tied the knot! Holy smokes, that was fast! Latina.com is reporting "A source close to Nick Cannon has confirmed exclusively to Latina.com that Cannon and Mariah Carey are married! The couple wed yesterday in a small ceremony on an island and it was 'very impulsive,' according to our source. The wedding was attended by a few close friends of the couple, including Da Brat. "

Impulsive is an understatement!


Oh and TMZ had a good shot of the two egagement rings. They look the same to me! Shame on you Nick Cannon!

Get screened

May is skin cancer awarness month and Oil of Olay, along with the American Society for Dermotologic Surgery and Marcia Cross, is doing something really cool that we should all take advantage of.

They are offering free skin cancer screenings at a bunch of dermotologists across the county. Just check out their website, select your state and find one in your area. I'm going to make an appointment because you can never be too careful. Come on, what do you have to lose? It's free and it could just save your life.

Oh and by the way, I hope you are all wearing sun screen every single day. Even if there is no sun, damage can take place. It should become part of your routine, like brushing your teeth. If you start now, you'll be so much better off when you're 60!

Recycled Bling

The rumor on the street is that Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are engaged. Really? Hmm. That's interesting. I didn't see that coming. He was engaged last year to a Victoria's Secret model but that didn't last too long. There is quite an age difference between the two with Miss M being 38, and Nick being 27 (hello cougar alert!) But Mariah is constantly proclaiming that she is eternally 12 (ok Michael Jackson) so they should be fine.

The two met when he starred in her new video for her latest single, "Bye Bye" but he soon got bumped up to director status. Talk about perks!

So here's the part that is kind of shady. There is speculation that he gave Mariah the same engagement ring as his last fiance. Not a replica of it, I'm talking about the exact same ring. Is this a no no?

I think it is, and here's why. That ring isn't just a piece of jewelry, it's a symbol of love and commitment. I know Matt searched high and low for just the right one for me. He did his research, he learned about the 4 c's (cut, carat, clarity and color) and really educated himself about it. And his hard work paid off because I love love love love my ring.

He said he knew it was the one when he first saw it, because it reminded him of me. Pure and simple, sparkling and beautiful. (I know, amazing right?)

So hypothetically, how could he give that ring to someone else when it he put that much love and thought into picking it specifically for me? Maybe some guys aren't like that? Maybe to some guys, it is just a piece of jewelry. To them, it's just some ring and it's only purpose is that it shows his woman is taken and belongs to him. Or maybe the guy is sweet and inexperienced? No matter the case, I still think an engagement ring is a very personal thing and shouldn't be re gifted. What do you think?

Mayerston?

Is there a hot new couple alert? Although they’ve kept their relationship quiet, In Touch has learned that John Mayer is crazy about Jennifer Aniston. Here are some photos from when John went down to Miami to visit Jen while she was shooting her new movie, "Marley and Me." (click on the below photos for a better view.)

Hmm..interesting....I don't know, I guess I just don't see them together. He's seems so much younger than her. But they're both intelligent, grounded people, so maybe it will work.

You know who you are

Oldies but goodies

I look so cholita in the last one, and I'm kinda loving it!

The thin eyebrows, the white eyeshadow, the side curls...lol.

Sisters

The three musketeers, circa 2003

Yummers

I just had a cheese quesadilla with mango salsa for lunch (cooked up in kitchen at my office) and I have to say, it was both delish and filling. Thanks for the tip Lanie!

Dumas be kidding

CSI's Gary Dourdan is in big, big, big trouble. He was at the Cochella Music Festival this past weekend, taking a little cat nap in his car. At aprox 5:21am police officers approched his vehicle and after some questioning, arrested him on the spot.

What's the reason behind the po po hauling him off to the slammer? It could have something to do with the goodies he had on him. Not only was he carrying prescription drugs, but also cocaine, ecstasy and heroin.

HEROIN? Really? Who do you think you are, Nikki Sixx?

His bail was set at $5,000 and of course he's already out.

Tut tut Warrick, what would Grisom say?

Gwen and her little man

Check out Gwen and Kingston hitting up their local K-Mart to pick up a slip and slide and some candy. Look how big Kingston is! Where did the time go? How is he already 2 years old?

Gwen, who's preggers with baby number 2, is so hands on. She totally rocks. It's hard to believe that she's 38 and Gavin is 42! Not that those ages are old or anything, but it just seems like yesterday that I was listning to No Doubt and Bush and now they are all grown up and shit.

Time flies when you're having fun!

Happy Tueday Fi!

This one is for my Fifo:

Shia LaBeouf in the VIP section of the Coachella Valley Music Festival at this past Saturday.

Scotty Dont

Scott Weiland was sentenced to 192 hours in jail for his second DUI arrest in November. Dang it Scotty, get it togeter. You're on probation. That means no drinking and driving. Ugh, I just can't be mad at you. Just don't let it happen again, ok?

News Flash

Jessica Alba is still pregnant. And still boring.
