Julia To Be A Mommy Yet Again

Julia and PAs we wait upon the New Year, the Pretty Woman shares some good news with the rest of the world – she is to become a mother yet again. With her third baby on the way, Julia Roberts was more than willing to let the whole world know about her pregnancy. Already with two kids, Julia and her husband Danny Moder are anticipating the birth of their third child.

Her spokesperson, Marcy Engelman, confirmed this great news in an article from People’s Magazine last Friday. She says that the baby will be born this summer. As Julia has already shown with her twins Hazel and Phinnaeus, she is a very good mother. No doubt with her expected child she will be the same.

She is of course most known for her role in the movie Pretty Woman. For me, though, her best movies would be My Bestfriend’s Wedding and Runaway Bride. She is definitely not running away from anything these days, though! Though she has not made a big movie recently, she has been involved in the movie version of Charlotte’s Web where she gives voice to the wise spider. Next year, she’ll be in a movie called Charlie Wilson’s War, with Tom Hanks as co-star.
Much is to be admired about Julia Roberts, not the least her versatility. She made her debut in Broadway this year as well. She was part of Richard Greenberg’s “Three Days of Rain.” What else can I say? She is one heck of a woman!

Paris Struts at Bondi Beach

Paris Hilton at beach“Common“ beach-going people were treated to a sight on Thursday when they found themselves sharing Bondi Beach in Sydney with no other than Paris Hilton herself. The presence of the hotel heiress definitely made a stir among the post-Christmas beach crowd who, in all likelihood, were not expecting to see such a celebrity as her.

To see those people – mostly the men, naturally – react would make it seem that there was a phenomenal event that was happening. The fact was that Paris Hilton didn’t really make any scene. She acted as if everything was perfectly natural. She sunbathed like the average person, took a dip in the ocean, and chatted on her mobile phone. Of course, the presence of her bodyguard and the paparazzi that dotted the beach would suggest that everything was NOT perfectly ordinary.

So what was Ms. Hilton doing Down Under a few days after Christmas? Well, she has been given the honor of choosing the model for a new Australian beer, Bondi Blonde. She will be picking out the lucky girl on New Year’s Day. The whole event was organized by John Singleton, a well known ad executive and beer lover in Australia. Ironically, Paris is not particularly known as a beer lover. That raises the question, what lured Paris into making this appearance? You think about it…

No matter what her reason for the Australian gig is, her stunt at Bondi Beach certainly made that day memorable for many. Even if you do not like her, seeing such a personality up close and personal will surely be a good story while drinking beer with your pals, won’t it?

Beyonce Reveals Fitness Obsession

Beyonce Have you ever found yourself watching MTV when one of Beyonce’s videos comes on and then you get enraptured at that goddess on the screen? Just like the rest of the “normal” world, perhaps, you have wondered at just how she can maintain her shape and look as gorgeous as she did when she first came out – perhaps even more so, in fact. Well, wonder no more.

Beyonce has spoken about her fitness regime. Fitness what? Yeah, just like most other Hollywood stars, she has her own routine when it comes to staying fit. She says that she has to work out 5 times a week! This may not seem much to some people but boy, does this seem crazy to a couch potato like me. Then again, if working out 5 times a week, like Beyonce does, will make me look like her, then why not???

Anyhow, Beyonce reveals that she normally gets out of bed at 8.30 every morning. She then has some cereal for breakfast and then she “lets it digest.” What that means exactly, I do not know. After the digestion process she goes on to do some cardio for about half an hour. (For those who are not work out buffs, cardio is merely something that gets your heart rate up.) After her cardio work out, Beyonce then does 45 minutes of free weights. With her busy schedule, I wonder where she finds the time to do all this EVERYDAY? I sure would like to know, maybe I can benefit from it.

What are Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston Giving Away This Christmas?

Jolie & AnistonThese sirens have been, perhaps, two of the most heard of names in Hollywood for the past year. With what happened between Jennifer and Brad and then it being Angelina and Brad and all that, it is no wonder that some people have been trying to come up with ways to compare Angelina and Jennifer.

I am sure you can think of a thousand and one ways to contrast and compare these two. Now I am not going through all of those ways. However, I recently picked up something about what Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston are giving away for this Christmas. Well not exactly their whole shopping list, to be honest. It was more of a peek into what they have been up to when it comes to shopping.

According to TMZ.com, Angelina Jolie has been going on a soap shopping spree – and not your ordinary kind of soap either. It seems that she has a thing for soap made from goat’s milk. Perhaps she was buying these for her three children? In any case, she reportedly bought 2 dozen sets of baby goat’s milk soap in the shape of animals. As for Jennifer, she has been out shopping for bags. Now that’s more like it! She reportedly bought 2 for herself and splurged on 10 more for her gal pals.

I may prefer one over the other (no I am not saying who) but I wouldn’t mind getting some of that goat’s milk soap or one of those bags.

Hilary Duff as Barbie

hilary duffTake a minute to take a trip down memory lane and think about the most coveted doll when you were but a little girl. I bet that a large number of you gals out there would think of Barbie. Yup, the one thing that most little girls desired for way back then was a Barbie Doll.

Now snap out of it and come back to the present. There are so many dolls in Hollywood today and one of the latest trends to hit Tinsel Town is the plethora of teeny bopper movies. Who hasn’t heard of Hilary Duff? The cute teenager hit Hollywood by storm and her popularity spread through all the continents like a forest fire out of control.

Put the world’s most famous doll and Hilary together and what do you get? A Hilary Duff Barbie Doll! Now her fame is going to take on a whole new meaning as she gets to take home a miniature replica of herself. Hilary Duff isn’t the first star to have had this honor. Other famous celebrities that have had Barbie replicas are Beyonce Knowles, Reese Witherspoon, and Lucille Ball. Hilary’s doll is named The Red Carpet Glam Hilary Duff Doll and is dressed in a polka dot dress with a red satin sash. Though it may not be out in time for your Christmas shopping, you can buy it before the year ends.

I wonder just how many units will sell. Of course, her adoring fans would not pass up on this opportunity. As for me, I was never one for Barbie Dolls anyway.
