  • Usain Bolt Anchors Record-Breaking Race At Commonwealth Games

    In Glasgow on Saturday, Usain Bolt once again led his 4×100 meters relay team to win another gold for Jamaica at the Commonwealth Games. The six-time Olympic champion ran the last stretch of the relay race to make a Games record of 37.58 seconds for his country’s team, wowing the crowd at Hampden Park, where the event was held.

    This is the first Commonwealth medal for Bolt, an achievement he had been eager to make, saying that the Games had always been on his “to-do list”. He had been hoping to run an individual event but had to settle for the 4×100 meters relay because he was injured.

    Bolt led the Jamaican relay team composed of Jason Livermore, Kemar Bailey-Cole and Nickel Ashmeade through a race made difficult by adverse weather conditions that made puddles on the track. After claiming victory, the celebrated athlete charmed fans by performing his “lightning bolt” celebration. “It’s always great to have fun with the fans. They made the Games what it was. They are so warm, even when I was cold they were always warm,” he said.

    Bolt was part of the Jamaican team that broke the world record for the 4×100 meters relay in the 2012 London Games, but he also won gold in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing for the same race and hopes to do it again in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.

    His next goal is to break his world record for the 200-meter run, which is 19.19 seconds. Bolt set this record five years ago in Berlin. At the moment, the only sprinter that can realistically break this record is Bolt himself. “I’ve said I want to run sub 19. That’s one of my biggest goals and my biggest dreams, so I’m definitely going to be training hard and seeing what I can do.”

  • Courteney Cox Plans Wedding In Irish Castle

    After visiting her fiancé’s family in Northern Ireland in July, Courteney Cox is planning to have her wedding later this year in an Irish castle. Cox, 50, and Snow Patrol rocker Johnny McDaid, 38, will be holding their nuptials at Ashford Castle in Lough Corrib, Galway, a decision they made after she fell in love with the building during her visit.

    McDaid plays piano, guitar and sings backing vocals for his rock band Snow Patrol. A source told the UK’s The Sun, “Johnny took Courteney to Ireland to meet his family and they fell in love with AshfordCastle.” They also reportedly visited several other venues in Ireland before settling on the Irish castle.

    Meanwhile, the couple also plans to celebrate in the United States with friends, family and celebrities by holding a big bash on Malibu Beach, Los Angeles, after the Irish ceremonies.

    The Friends and Cougar Town star was introduced to McDaid by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, who also first hinted at the direction in which the relationship was headed when he let slip that they had moved in together.

    Cox and McDaid were first seen together in public at a party of Jennifer Aniston’s held in December of last year in Los Angeles. McDaid proposed to Cox in June, six months into their relationship. The couple shared the news with his-and-her tweets, posting, “I’m engaged to him!” and “I’m engaged to her!”

    Previously, Cox was married to actor David Arquette, with whom she has a 10-year-old daughter named Coco. They married in June 1999, staying together for 11 years until announcing that they were undergoing a trial separation in October 2010. However, in 2012, Cox filed for divorce from Arquette. The divorce was finalized in May 2013, but the couple remain good friends while sharing custody of Coco.

  • Bear Grylls Challenges Zac Efron And Ben Stiller’s Survival Skills

    Bear Grylls Challenges Zac Efron And Ben Stiller’s Survival Skills

    With almost sadistic glee, TV host-cum-wildman Bear Grylls is excited about bringing celebrities into the wild on his new show on NBC called Running Wild With Bear Grylls. The 40-year-old adventurer is famous for dropping himself and a skeleton film crew into the most remote locations around the world. His journey is documented and shows him using just the bare minimum of tools and a wealth of survival skills to successfully make his way back to civilization. On Running Wild With Bear Grylls, he’s not only taking someone with him—he’s taking some of the world’s most well know personalities on the biggest adventure of their lives.

    On the show’s premiere episode, Grylls takes young actor Zac Efron on a trip to New York’s Catskill Mountains, where they both took their shirts off before scaling down a cliff. Grylls also dared Efron to go on a skydive with him, which the 26-year-old actor was game to do after some minor hesitation. That episode has since kicked off a series that promises big celebrities working their way out of the most dangerous situations.

    What Grylls achieves when bringing stars into the wild is not only the cheap thrill of watching them in their most vulnerable states, but also bringing out the best in their physical capabilities and opening a window into their personal lives.

    In the second episode of the show, Grylls brings actor Ben Stiller to the Isle of Skye, a harsh environment in Northern Scotland. Within 48 hours, Grylls gets Stiller to stand on the pontoons of a flying helicopter, rappel down a cliff face, and forage for food in the form of wild garlic and limpid water. Through the jokes and exclamations of disbelief, Stiller opens up to Grylls about his parents and comedic inspirations, showing a rare glimpse of his personality.

  • Marion Barry Racks Up Two Years’ Worth Of Traffic Tickets, Fined $2,824

    On Saturday night, August 2, 78-year-old D.C. Council member Marion Barry was involved in a wrong-way crash that sent him to the hospital and had authorities impound his car for unpaid traffic tickets dating from 2012. Barry is a diabetic and reportedly experienced a “hypoglycemic attack” before becoming disoriented and driving into oncoming traffic.

    He was cited by the police for driving on the wrong side of the street, driving an unregistered vehicle and failure to have insurance. The person riding in the vehicle he hit complained of neck pain and was also sent to the hospital.

    After the crash, it was found that Barry had $2,824 in fines on his 2002 Jaguar, which denotes two years’ worth of traffic violations. What’s amazing is that the Jaguar had never been booted in those two years when boot crews are required to do so with just two outstanding tickets over 60 days old. A spokesperson for the Department of Motor Vehicles said that it’s possible that Barry’s car had not been booted earlier because all of the tickets were issued beyond the official working hours of boot crews, which are from 6 AM to 2:30 PM.

    Barry’s tickets cover an assortment of traffic offenses, including failure to display current tags, speeding and illegal parking. The oldest ticket dates back to February 12, while the most recent one was issued Thursday, July 31 for parking too close to a fire hydrant.

    Some have noted that ordinary citizens wouldn’t have gotten off the hook as easily as the D.C. Council member did. However, Barry’s vehicle was finally impounded, and by Tuesday, all his outstanding tickets had been paid. In order to retrieve his car from the compound, Barry will also have to ensure that vehicle registration and tags for his 2002 Jaguar are up to date.

  • Cee Lo Green’s Israel Concert Gets Canceled By Promoter

    Musical entertainer and former The Voice judge Cee Lo Green is canceling his August 19 show in Jerusalem, Israel, because of the unresolved conflict between Israel and Hamas. The news was announced on Monday, August 4 by the show’s promoters, 2b Vibes.

    Carmi Whurtman of 2b Vibes says that the decision was the promoter’s and not Green’s, citing that one of the reasons they canceled was because of a restriction by Israel Defense Forces that public gatherings be limited to 1,000 people only. This poses a problem for promoters needing to sell as many tickets as possible in order to cover costs and make a profit.

    “The artist and his crew really wanted to come, but unfortunately we were the ones who had to postpone it because this is not the right time to advertise and push a concert,” said Whurtman. The promoter hopes that they can postpone Green’s concert in Jerusalem to October or November, and that the political conflict will be resolved long before then.

    Currently, there is a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but promoters aren’t confident that they can guarantee a peaceful and orderly event for the artists they bring into the country and the people who want to see the shows.

    Other artists that have canceled shows like Green’s in Israel include Neil Young, who was set to make his first appearance in the country in two decades, and thrash metal group Megadeth, which was set to play on August 6 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The band reportedly had to cancel due to the fact that they couldn’t “confirm the guaranteed passage of the band and their gear into Tel Aviv in time for the show.”

  • Kris Jenner: Kim And Kanye Have Got To Go

    Some mothers beg their children to move in with them, and this was certainly the case when Kris Jenner asked daughter Kim Kardashian to stay with them while she was pregnant with her and husband Kanye West’s daughter North. However, Jenner is reportedly desperate for her daughter and the rapper mogul to move out of the house because Kardashian’s lifestyle has taken it over. Insiders describe Jenner’s Hidden Hills, California, home as seeming like a hotel, with Kardashian’s  guests arriving every day, including nannies, security teams, and friends.

    Kardashian and West have been crashing at Jenner’s place for a year with their daughter North because their $11 million Bel Air mansion was being renovated. However, the end date of their stay seems to be up in the air because the couple has decided to put their newly refurbished home on the market. Jenner has supposedly been driving herself crazy asking Kardashian when they plan to move out and getting no straight answers.

    According to sources, West has been urging his wife to find another place for themselves, but she’s been making excuses because she loves living with her mom, who does everything for her and allows her to boss her around. Meanwhile, West is also enjoying staying with the Jenners because he loves being part of a big family, especially since his mother Donda West passed away in 2007.

    The situation has gotten so bad in the Jenner home that it’s even affected Kardashian’s siblings. Kendall Jenner recently moved out of her mother’s home and purchased a $1.4 million apartment in Los Angeles to get away from the chaos of Kardashian’s extravagant lifestyle.

    In a recent guest apperance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Kardashian told host Jimmy Kimmel that she and West haven’t moved out of the Jenner home because of “house drama.”

  • Robin Thicke Goes Camping With Son And Sexy Brunette

    Sexy singer Robin Thicke had to cancel his concert last Friday at the Indiana State Fair reportedly due to “a scheduling change” or “vocal issues,” but he made the best of it by spending time with his son Julian, camping on Lake Perris in California. People speculated on who was the pretty brunette with them on the outing—was it a new girlfriend? Everyone can relax now because Thicke confirmed to E! News that he and his son’s female companion was just the nanny.

    Thicke and his son traveled to Lake Perris for an old-school camping trip that featured a tent, sleeping bags, snacks, and water toys for Julian. The trip is supposedly Julian’s first taste of the great outdoors and a great opportunity for some father-son bonding. Thicke put up the tent himself and was seen wrestling with it at one point, although he finally got it installed correctly in the end. He came well equipped for some fun in the sun, toting folding armchairs and applying sunscreen on himself and his son. He wore aviator shades, a necklace and blue shorts, but was shirtless as he and Julian walked on the sand. Julian, meanwhile, wore printed trunks and a hat to protect his face.

    People watching Thicke’s love life must have been excited about the mystery of the pretty brunette, but the singer is reportedly still trying to win his ex-wife Paula Patton back. They separated in February after 20 years of being in a relationship, nine of which they were married. One of his attempts to reconcile with her involved writing and recording the album he titled Paula, which contains songs about Patton. “I just wanted to make something artistic out of a very difficult period,” he said of the album.

I’m very excited to learn all that it has to offer—that focus and that dedication to perform at a certain level every night,” she said.

    Palmer is a veteran of TV and film, playing the title role in the 2006 film Akeelah And The Bee when she was 13 and in Nickelodeon’s True Jackson, VP in her latter teen years.

    Currently, Palmer plays the role of a maid and baby nurse on the critically acclaimed TV series Masters Of Sex.

  • Mariah Carey Pampers Her Pooches, Spends $200,000 On Luxury Vacation

    Superstar diva Mariah Carey is sending her dogs on a vacation that most people would love to have, spending almost $200,000 for a private jet to take them to the United Kingdom and have a holiday at a luxury hotel. The singer is all set to have her beloved dogs, The Good Reverend Pow Jackson, Mutley P., Gore Jackson The Third, Jill E. Beans, Pipitty Jackson, Cha, Jackie Lambchops, J.J., and Squeak E. Beans, live the good life at The Paw Seasons, a luxury dog hotel located in Bristol, South West England.

    Carey’s whopping budget for her doggie holiday includes $25,000 for the stay of her eight canines at The Paw Seasons and $175,000 for the private jet she’s hiring to transport her furry loved ones safely and in style. The amount is more than most people get to spend on vacations for their human families.

    However, Carey is widely known for spoiling her pooches as much as she does her man, Nick Cannon, and their three-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe. She reportedly spends more than $45,000 each year on special treatments for her dogs, including grooming and spa sessions.

    At The Paw Seasons, Carey’s dogs can expect to be treated like royalty, sleeping in their own beds and getting their meals tailored to each of their tastes by a personal chef who will follow a menu to be sent over by Carey. The dog hotel usually charges $100 a day for each dog, but Carey has requested for organic steaks for her furry babies, which The Paw Seasons is more than happy to oblige.

    Carey’s dogs will also be groomed and washed, as well as entertained with activities like surfing, board games, and swimming. Their stay also includes a tour of the surrounding countryside and sessions with a behavioral specialist.

  • Cameron Diaz Is Happy With Benji Madden, Marriage Rumors Surface

    They’ve only been dating for a couple of months, but there are already rumors of actress Cameron Diaz and musician Benji Madden possibly tying the knot. Could the couple be considering marriage this soon?

    They certainly seem happy together and spend a lot of time in each other’s company.  Madden reportedly spends most of his time at Diaz’s place. An insider to the couple said “Benji spends so much time at Cameron’s that it seems he now kind of lives there. They look very happy together … Cameron hasn’t looked this happy for years.’

    They spent the holidays together off the coast of Italy and France in July and were reportedly very affectionate, with eyes only for each other, sailing in the uber posh yacht, the three-story Lady Brit.

    It sure is getting serious fast. Although they were only first linked this May, the celebrity couple is also reported to be spending time with each other’s family.

    They couple spent the Fourth of July holiday in Florida where the Diaz family has a home. The couple was joined by her sister Chimene and her kids.

    A friend of Diaz’s said: “It seemed important to Cameron that Benji met her family, and she looked very proud to introduce him to everyone. They were very sweet to each other, constantly kissing and flirting. It was obvious that they had a great vacation.”

    Diaz has been spending time with the Madden family, too. She is often seen joining Madden’s brother’s family for dinner. This comes as no surprise since the couple first met through socialite Nicole Richie – who has been Diaz’s friend for some time, and is also Madden’s sister-in-law.

    Richie is married to Madden’s twin brother, Joel, and they have two children. The family apparently ‘approves’ of the couple’s new relationship and Richie is proud to admit she was the one who got them together. She is said to be delighted for being instrumental in the happiness Madden found with Diaz.

    “I am a devoted sister-in-law. I’m happy for anyone who is happy, and I want everyone to be surrounded with love.” said Richie.

  • Gabrielle Union: See How Dwyane Wade Proposed [VIDEO]

    The super private wedding plans of Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were first leaked to the public when TMZ got hold of the couple’s wedding invitations in late July. Although readers are anxious to know more details about the wedding set for August 30, the celebrity couple is doing a good job of keeping everything under the radar.

    TMZ, however, has again gotten hold of the couple’s Save the Date video that was part of the wedding invitation the couple gave out to guests. In the video, previously unseen footage now shows us how Wade proposed to his long-time girlfriend on bended knee. It also shows how Wade’s children, Zaire and Zion, and nephew, Dahveon, contributed in getting a “Yes” from Union.

    A ready camera crew, organized by Wade, captured the kids playing an adorable role in the engagement by holding up “Will you marry us?” signs. CBS Sports reports that it is an interesting sign that Wade thoughtfully included his children in the wedding affairs. It shows he really values his family and he won’t allow the children to feel left out.  Fans will remember that Wade wrote a book on fatherhood called A Father First, released in 2012.

    No other information about the wedding can be found in the video. In an effort to keep the ceremonies private, the couple invited only close friends and family members. The location of the wedding ceremony is still undisclosed. Guests were only given the address to a designated meeting place from where they will be shuttled by private bus to the venue. The wedding invitations, which are beautifully crafted from wood with a black ribbon accent, also specifically asked the guests not to bring phones and cameras to the wedding.

    “The lives and most personal moments of celebrities are sadly constantly under siege,” wrote Wade in a social media post about this Save the Date vid.

    The couple’s guests, however, can look forward to what seems to be a grand party as the invitations also asked that the attendees be ready to: “Put on your dancing shoes and join us for a THROW DOWN.”

  • Hayden Panettiere Shows Off Baby Bump At The Beach

    Nashville star Hayden Panettiere flaunted her bikini body at the beach in Miami, Florida, with her fiancé Wladimir Klitschko last Sunday. What made her bikini body stand out was that along with a blue and white striped bikini by Lisa Blue, she was sporting her growing baby bump!

    Panettiere, 24, is engaged to Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Klitschko, 38, and they announced in May that they were expecting a baby. Previously, Panettiere had kept her baby bump covered by a one-piece black swimsuit when she went for a dip in June, but she proudly flaunted it while she went to the beach with her fiancé on Sunday.

    Panettiere’s bikini had a sweet halter top with gold whale fin charm and a ruffled bottom. The whale fin charm shows her support for the Whaleman Foundation, which makes efforts to protect dolphins and whales, a cause very close to Panettiere’s heart. She wore no makeup and kept her hair in a simple updo, looking like a radiant mother in the sand and sun. Klitschko towered over her and showed off his boxer’s body wearing just neon green swim trunks while helping her dry off after taking a dip in the water.

    Klitschko and Panettiere met at a mutual acquaintance’s party in 2009 and dated until 2011, when they parted amicably due to the long-distance nature of the relationship. However, they started dating again in 2013 and announced their engagement in October of the same year.

    “I’ve lived a very big life, and I don’t feel my age, and I feel like I was born to be a mother,” she told Glamour in 2013. She’s very excited to have her first child with Klitschko. With season three of Nashville set to begin filming soon, producers of the show have hinted that there is a possibility of Panettiere’s pregnancy being written into the storyline.

  • Lamar Odom Still Has Khloe Kardashian’s Heart, Even Though He Cheated

    Lamar Odom’s marriage to Khloe Kardashian may be over, but in the latest episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians which aired Sunday, Kardashian expressed her frustration at not knowing what was happening to her ex-husband in a conversation with her brothers Brandon and Brody Jenner. Odom had been married to Kardashian for four years before she filed for divorce in December 2013.

    On Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, the Jenner brothers asked Kardashian about Odom while they were all on vacation in Thailand and she responded with, “Can’t find him.” She said, however, that she still needed to know how he was and look out for him, implying that she still cared deeply for his welfare.

    For the first time, she hinted at the reasons why their marriage ended, admitting that Odom had extramarital affairs and was fighting drug addiction, which had ruined his basketball career. “No one knew. Until he got so sloppy and started messing around with all those girls, and all those girls want to do is get their 10 seconds of fame, I can’t really talk about it, I want to start crying,” she explained.

    Odom is thought to be missing since he flew to New York. He signed with the New York Knicks for the remainder of the 2013-2014 season but did not appear at their last game. He was waived by the team on July 11.

    The professional basketball player will always be on his ex-wife’s mind as she worries about his well-being even after the end of their relationship. “I mean the marriage didn’t work out, not because of me, it wasn’t what I wanted. So for the rest of my life, I’m going to deal with that and worry about him and think about him and want just to protect him,” she said on her show.

  • Kim Kardashian Seriously Considers Adopting Thai Orphan

    On the latest installment of hit show Keeping Up With The Kardashians, it was revealed that Kim Kardashian wanted to adopt one of the orphans at the Thai orphanage they visited earlier this year. She “fell in love” with the young Thai girl and even called her husband Kanye West on the phone to ask him about adopting. The episode aired Sunday.

    Keeping Up With The Kardashians is currently showing the family’s trip to Thailand, on which their tour guide suggested they make a stop at a local orphanage. The stars of the show brought donations and supplies, including footballs, a volleyball kit and other sports equipment, to the orphanage and spent time with the children staying there. Kardashian became attached to a 12-year-old girl named Pink while playing with Lego blocks with her and her friends.

    She was so taken with the girl that she expressed her desire to adopt her and make her part of her small family, which includes West and their one-year-old daughter North West. Kardashian’s mother Kris Jenner, however, did not immediately approve of the idea, cautioning her to think about the decision carefully.

    Jenner said, “That’s a little aggressive. I think that you can’t just go to an orphanage and fall in love with a child and then take them home like you’re shopping. You get very passionate about things and then you don’t think the whole thing through. I bet there are other things that you could do that would make all the difference in this little girl’s life.”

    It turned out that adoption was not an option available for Pink, but Kim responded by giving the children more gifts.

    “I grew up with such a strong family bond and connection, it makes me so sad that these kids don’t have that family element,” she said.

  • Julia Roberts Gets Her Face Smashed By Jimmy Fallon

    Jimmy Fallon forces yet another weird game on his glamorous celebrity guests. On The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Julia Roberts was hit in the face with an inflatable ball, much to the delight of her fans tuning in as well as the live studio audience.

    Roberts made a guest appearance on the show and was asked by Fallon to join a game called “Faceballs,” where each person is hit in the face with a clear inflatable ball and video of it is played back in slow motion HD. She was game to do it and enjoyed watching the playback of her and Fallon’s faces being squashed by the balls.

    Roberts looked stunning on the show wearing a short-sleeved black blouse, black tailored shorts, and black platform booties. She wore her blonde hair loose and long and readily gave belly laughs at Fallon’s antics on the show. Despite the face-smashing she received in the Faceballs game, she had no qualms about it ruining her good looks.

    At first, Roberts and Fallon took tentative shots with the inflatables at each other’s faces, but by the second round, the gloves were off with the use of a bigger ball. Roberts let it loose on Fallon’s face, his nose crumpling on impact, and he vowed to take his revenge. On the last throw of the game, he threw the ball hard at Roberts’ face, producing a hilarious slow motion video that showed the ball contorting her nose and lips. Both Roberts and Fallon cracked up over the repeated playback of the video, the highlights of which included Roberts’ upper lip sticking to the plastic ball as it bounced off her face.

    Even with the ridiculousness of the Faceballs game, Roberts thoroughly enjoyed playing it, joking that it was “the comedy version of Fifty Shades of Grey.”

  • Ashley Olsen And Her Sisters Have A Thing For Older Men

    A rare sighting of Ashley Olsen with her beau, 47-year-old Bennett Miller, occurred in New York City last Sunday. The 28-year-old star of Fullhouse was seen stepping out of her apartment with Miller in a cream-colored top and plush sweater, looking loose yet chic, while her boyfriend set out in ultracasual jeans and t-shirt. Photos of them were snapped as they made their way to a waiting SUV.

    Olsen, who today is a millionaire businesswoman and designer, started dating the Moneyball director after she separated from her ex David Schulte in January. Olsen and Miller have rarely been seen in public together, choosing to keep their relationship low profile. However, they made an appearance at Philip Seymour Hoffman’s funeral in February to support each other. Miller had worked with Hoffman on the 2005 movie Capote, which he also directed.

    Miller also directed the movie Moneyball, which was nominated for several Oscars and starred Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. His upcoming film Foxcatcher stars Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo and Steve Carell, and is also generating Oscar buzz for its gritty performances. Chances are Olsen and Miller will be making appearances at more red carpet events when the film is released in November.

    Before her split from Schulte, CEO of luxury eyewear brand Oliver Peoples, Olsen also dated actor Justin Bartha and restaurateur Scott Sartiano. One insider who talked to US Weekly about Schulte, said, “He was a great guy and cute, but it didn’t work out.”

    Ashley shares her love for older men with twin sister Mary-Kate Olsen, who is engaged to French businessman Olivier Sarkozy, 45. Olsen and Sarkozy have been dating for two years and are engaged to be married. The third Olsen sister, Elizabeth Olsen, is 25 and also engaged to be married to actor Boyd Holbrook, 32.

  • Cheryl Hines Is Now Married To A Kennedy

    Cheryl Hines Is Now Married To A Kennedy

    Despite news coming out in The National ENQUIRER in June about her fiancé cheating on her, actress Cheryl Hines wed environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The wedding was held at the Kennedy family compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts Saturday in front of close friends and family members.

    Hines looked radiant in a Romona Keveza gown that featured pearl beading, a sweet bow at the waistline and waltz-length skirt that flowed around her as she walked down the aisle. She donned strappy metallic sandals for a simple, clean look and wore a loose updo while holding a bouquet of blue and white flowers. Designer Keveza said of the bride in a release, “Cheryl Hines continues the Kennedy legacy of iconic women with timeless style.”

    The 48-year-old Suburgatory and Curb Your Enthusiasm actress married Kennedy, 60, in front of 300 guests that included their children from previous marriages, Curb Your Enthusiasm co-stars Larry David and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Kennedy’s mother and son, Ethel Kennedy, and Conor Kennedy.

    The couple initially planned to elope with just their children when they became engaged last May, but later decided that more of their loved ones should be at the celebration. The couple danced to Adele’s “Make You Feel My Love” at the reception, and Kennedy danced to “Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong with his daughter Kyra, making for a poignant moment. Special guests Lyle Lovett and Natasha Bedingfield sang “She’s No Lady, That’s My Wife” and “Unwritten,”. The party kept up with guests dancing to modern hits such as Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” and favorite songs from The Beatles, Neil Diamond, and The Monkeys.

    The couple dated two years before they became engaged. This is the second marriage for Hines and the third for Kennedy.

  • Lindsay Lohan Tries To Redeem Herself After Unflattering Side Boob Photo

    Controversial actress Lindsay Lohan has been closely watched in recent years by fans and rumor mongers alike waiting to document her next move. Lohan has seen career highs and lows punctuated with public relations faux pas after faux pas, but this time she’s got her social media game together.

    After netizens reacted to the unflattering side boob she unwittingly projected in pictures of herself at Ibiza last week, Lohan posted several pictures of her bikini body on Instagram in an attempt to recover her image, showing her detractors that she’s still got what it takes to keep people looking in her direction.

    On Friday, Lohan posted a photo of herself in her hotel room wearing a simple long, white gown, showing her side boob as it should look and erasing the image burned into people’s minds by the photo of her in a neon swimsuit posted days before. This new photo of her showing a hint of her lovely figure was captioned with the words, “The mind replays what the heart can’t delete.”

    She then followed the post on Instagram with pictures she took during her vacation in Ibiza. A picture of Lohan posing in front of a mirror wearing a colorful bikini and sporting a bellybutton ring shows off her figure. She later posted more pictures of herself that day while hanging out with friends. In one, she’s wearing a bikini top and mirrored aviator shades while flanked by two guy friends, posted with the caption, “Be happy and healthy. It’s possible.” In another, she’s in the water with other friends, waving their hands in the air, with the caption, “Happiness is key. Live. Laugh. Love.” The photos hint that a happier, lighter Lindsay Lohan is still hitting the beaches with a knockout body.

  • Jay Z And Beyonce Reportedly Staying In Separate Hotels, Tour In Jeopardy

    Rumors that music power couple Jay Z and Beyonce are dissolving their marriage have been plaguing their joint world tour On The Run since it started, and now news of the couple’s habits while on tour are fanning the flames. The New York Post’s Page Six has reported that husband and wife are staying in separate hotels and arriving at the tour venues separately.

    Not only are they leading separate lives while on tour but lawyers have joined the couple on tour to help them draft a statement that addresses the breakup rumors. However, it’s been said that Jay Z and Beyonce couldn’t agree on what the statement should say, delaying its release.

    Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that Beyonce was spotted last week in Manhattan looking at apartments in the Chelsea district, leading others to speculate that she’s trying to find a life away from her rapper husband.

    Although the couple has not let any hint of marital troubles show onstage, persons involved with the On The Run tour are afraid the tour might not survive the controversy surrounding their marriage. The sold-out tour is set to make Jay Z and Beyonce a cool $100 million and ends in Paris on September 13.

    In May, footage of Beyonce’s sister, Solange Knowles, attacking Jay Z in a hotel elevator started circulating. Since then, there have been rumors that the couple’s marriage is on the rocks. Jay Z has been linked to fashion designer Rachel Roy and singer Rihanna, but he is supposedly desperate to fix his marriage to Beyonce. He is reportedly planning to take her away on a “make or break” vacation for a few weeks in between tour dates to work things out.

  • Marijuana Legalization: New York Times Editorial Sparks Debate

    The issue of marijuana legalization has been weighing on policymakers and the general public lately with increasing news of the drug’s medical benefits as well as its legalization in states such as Colorado and Washington State. Now, more than ever, opinions are flooding the Internet on whether marijuana should be allowed regulated consumption by the public or continue to be prohibited across most of the United States.

    On July 27, 2014, The New York Times Editorial Board published an open letter titled, “Repeal Prohibition, Again,” which discussed their stand on marijuana legalization. In it, members of the board urged the Federal government to “allow recreational or medicinal production and use where it belongs — at the state level,” saying that marijuana is less dangerous than two other legal substances that have caused more deaths and diseases, namely, alcohol and tobacco.

    They urge states to legalize medicinal uses of marijuana, reduce penalties or simply allow all use, restricting it to those above the age of 21 in order not to produce harmful effects in the adolescent brain. Members of the board believe that creating systems for regulating manufacture, sale, and marketing of marijuana will be a long and arduous process but ultimately one that will produce medical breakthroughs and reduce the number of people put in prison for nonviolent drug offenses.

    Many dissenting and assenting reactions surfaced with the publication of The New York Times editorial, echoing the debates sparked across the country by this issue. Some opponents to marijuana legalization cited the effects of poor regulation of alcohol and tobacco as evidence that legalizing a harmful substance would not deter younger members of society from using it.

    An ad taken out by Project SAM in reaction to the editorial posits that corporations that stand to make money from marijuana legalization will crop up and base their revenue on a “highly habit-forming product,” implying that the market system might not be ready for such a glut. Project SAM is against legalization but in favor of dropping minimum sentences and removing the criminal records of low-level users of marijuana, while pushing for better access to treatment and education.

    Meanwhile, many are hopeful that the legalization of marijuana will allow advanced research into its medical benefits and find treatment for a number of complex diseases. Many voices are also urging the government to wait and see until Colorado and Washington State have implemented legalization of marijuana successfully, especially in the area of underage restriction, before taking the legalization plunge.

  • Jennifer Aniston Reveals New Fishtail Braid On Instagram

    If there is any celebrity whose every change of hairstyle shakes the world and sparks new trends in hair, it’s Jennifer Aniston. For years, the Hollywood star rocked the “Rachel,” a sexy layering of chopped locks on the hit TV show Friends, prompting scores of Rachel fans everywhere to get similar looks. On Friday,  Aniston was caught on Instagram wearing her hair in a new way that got her on the radar for hair trends once again.

    Chris McMillan, Aniston’s long-time hairstylist posted a picture of Aniston wearing a side swept fishtail braid and smiling, with the caption, “#jenniferaniston #braid #fishtail #summer-hair #unplugged @livingproofinc #lovethisgirl”

    Aniston’s hair has been a trendsetter before, but in the last two decades she has been wearing it loose and long, and she rarely wears an updo that isn’t a ponytail. The Instagram photo of her looking lovely in a slightly messy braid might be fresh enough to inspire countless others to go for the same summery look.

    Aniston was spotted heading into the salon last week, looking casual in a black blazer, jeans, and white top. Her fiancée Justin Theroux also dropped into the salon to keep her company while she and her stylist worked on their joint project, Living Proof, a beauty technology company that aims to delve deeper into the science of hair in order to create more effective hair products. The Instagram photo of Aniston in braids is thought to be a test shot for Living Proof.

    Although the “Rachel” was a very popular look in 1994, Aniston no longer finds it attractive. She even said in 2011 that she would rather shave all her hair off once than have to wear the “Rachel” for the rest of her life, describing the style as “the ugliest haircut I’ve ever seen.”
