  • Kendra Wilkinson And Hank Baskett Joining Next Season Of Marriage Boot Camp

    Amid her husband’s cheating rumors, Kendra Wilkinson seems determined to give Hank Baskett a second chance, despite her apparent confusion on whether to believe allegations. According to E! News, Wilkinson and her husband will be joining the next season of the reality TV series Marriage Boot Camp, which will be filming for the next two weeks.

    Describing Baskett as “Superman without a cape” as opposed to the public’s perception of him as “the most perfect man on Earth,” Wilkinson told E! News that her husband needed a lot of work. “People looked at him like he was Superman and he probably made one little mistake and now the whole world sees this bad image and I hate that. It’s so sad…He’s not a bad guy. He’s a very amazing person who was trapped in the very bad situation,” she said.

    Wilkinson added that she believes her husband is “trying to find a way to tell me what really happened” while undergoing “a lot of therapy.”

    According to HollywoodLife.com, a source has revealed that Baskett is looking to win Wilkinson back by planning a renewal of vows to prove his commitment to her. “Hank will do whatever he can to save his marriage to Kendra and one way of showing his commitment is by renewing his wedding vows,” said the source.

    The source added that Baskett thought a holiday or New Year’s Eve ceremony would be an ideal way to give a fresh start for the couple in 2015.

    While waiting to make a decision on their relationship, Wilkinson is reportedly focusing on working with Baskett to prioritize co-parenting their children. “We’re still married, ‘cause we’re not divorced. But, we’re at a place where we can talk right now, not about everything, but we’re talking and we’re parenting. That’s our number one priority is making sure these two kids are raised with two parents, and we want to give them a great life,” she revealed in a recent interview with HuffPost Live.

  • Portia De Rossi And Ellen DeGeneres Still Going Strong, Couple Buys New Luxury Condo

    Divorce rumors about Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres may finally simmer down a bit, thanks to the couple’s new purchase: a swanky condo in Beverly Hills.

    The celebrity couple has been the subject of rumor after rumor since they first got together. For the past few months, talks of the couple’s near-divorce have been circulating in gossip town, partially due to several leaks from a new book about DeGeneres.

    Written by celebrity journalist Randy Jernigan, the book tells all about the private, behind-the-cam life and relationships of DeGeneres. According to excerpts from the book, the DeGeneres-De Rossi union has been rocky from the beginning. The author goes on to say that DeGeneres has had to deal with depression and mood swings in the past years, which is why she has been controlling towards de Rossi.

    Last month, the couple was again rumored to be considering divorce after news came out that DeGeneres was cheating on de Rossi with another woman while de Rossi was in rehab for alcohol use in May.

    The couple however, surprised rumor mongers with this news of a big real estate purchase in spite of all the divorce talks.

    A source broke the news to Radar Online: “Ellen and Portia just purchased an entire floor of a luxury building in Beverly Hills.”  The source continues to describe the property: “It is very centrally located, right in the heart of everything that they do in Hollywood. They still have the land and the space they love in Santa Barbara, but this spot offers the convenience that they need.” Pursuitist.com says the couple bought the posh Beverly West building on the Wilshire Corridor for a reported $16 million.

    This high-end property reportedly comes with several amazing views among other perks: a full service concierge, 24-hour staff, a fitness center and a pool.

    It seems the couple is now more focused on money-making ventures and not divorce . “It’s a good sign that they are going to stay together,” the source told Radar. “Ellen and Portia have always loved working on a home project together!”

    The couple also bought another home in Los Angeles earlier in January. According to real estate sources, they made improvements to the LA home and flipped it for $49.5 million, making a $10 million profit.

  • Beyonce Knowles: Living Apart From Jay-Z Offstage?

    Beyonce Knowles went apartment hunting recently. The fact that Jay-Z was not with her at the time led to a flurry of speculation that the two of them are preparing to separate.

    Despite the couple’s repeated declarations of love and togetherness onstage, an increasing number of pop culture-loving onlookers and gossip news sites just aren’t buying it.

    It seems the focus is what the two are like offstage rather than while performing.

    The apartment shopping is one thing, but now the rumor is that Beyonce and Jay-Z aren’t even staying together during their On The Run tour.

    US Weekly released an exclusive report claiming that a source close to Jay-Z said that the two of them spent several nights apart in New York and Los Angeles. The same source also indicated that the two are avoiding each other offstage.

    With the 32-year-old pop diva allegedly looking for apartments in the Chelsea area of New York City “with no Jay-Z in sight”, these claims only add to the speculation that we are witnessing the last days of a music power couple.

    As Beyonce may (or may not have) hinted in her recent “**Flawless” remix, there is a lot of money at stake.

    The On The Run tour has earned the pair a staggering $100 million. And it’s not even finished yet.

    The amount of money associated with their franchise is speculated at close to $1 billion—a lot of money and property to divide between the two of them if a divorce DID happen.

    It seems that much of the gossip surrounding the state of Beyonce’s marriage hinges on the excitement of watching the once “picture perfect” couple fall apart rather than any concrete evidence that the two intend to separate.

    One insider told US Weekly that the rumors are a load of garbage, declaring that “they are happy” together.

  • Beyonce Knowles Gets “Apology” From Alleged Mistress

    No matter what Beyonce Knowles-Carter or her husband Jay-Z say at this point, the illusion of picture-perfect musical royalty was forever shattered thanks to that leaked video of the infamous elevator fight.

    Beyonce was passive during the actual conflict and has been largely silent on the matter ever since.

    Well she was until a line was dropped in her recent “**Flawless” remix.

    In her song she talks about how fighting is to be expected when there’s so much money at stake.

    Money and not passion or love.

    The reference may quell divorce speculation, but not marriage-of-convenience speculation

    Despite the curious line, Beyonce and Jay-Z took to the stage recently to insist that they are still happily married.

    They’ve been on an ongoing campaign this “On The Run” tour to assure the world that though their marriage isn’t picture-perfect after all, there is still love (and their baby Blue Ivy) keeping the two of them together.

    So perhaps the timing of a diss track by a woman rumored to have had an affair with Jay-Z was less than ideal.

    Days after Beyonce’s remix featuring Nicki Minaj, Liv decided to release an inarguably low budget music video for her song “Sorry Mrs. Carter”.

    The song both denied accusations of her having ever been with Beyonce’s husband and at the same time mocked the state of the singer’s marriage.

    It was an apology and non-apology at the same time, as the alleged mistress said that her major goal was demonstrating that girls can get into the industry without becoming someone’s mistress.

    What others see as Liv’s desperate attempt to ride the coattails of the Carters has led to an unsurprising amount of vitriol dumped on her by Beyonce fans and others.

    Charlamagne Tha God, host of Power 105.1 The Breakfast Club declared Liv the “Donkey of the Day”.

  • Piper Perabo: A Wedding Dress To Remember

    Piper Perabo is now a married woman!

    Perabo walked down the aisle alongside beau Stephen Kay on Saturday in New York City. The actress and director/producer exchanged vows and even took a “selfie” of the event.

    There is one very interesting thing that stood way out in the images of the marriage ceremony.

    And that would be Perabo’s wedding dress.

    To say it was anything but conventional would be an understatement.

    The Covert Affairs star walked down the aisle in a sheer gown that was covered in a silvery leopard print pattern. Her veil was yellow.

    It was a look that would make some reach for the smelling salts and clutch pearls.

    Combined with Kay’s decidedly relaxed appearance, it’s pretty obvious they weren’t going for the “bride and groom wedding cake topper” look.

    Even though Perabo decided to avoid a more traditional look on her wedding, you can clearly see in the images that she is one happy bride. And the bride’s happiness on her wedding day is what matters most, right?

    Perabo spoke with Pop Sugar about all the craziness involved in both planning her wedding and working on her popular USA Network drama.

    Said Perabo, “It’s a lot to balance with everything going on.”

    Not everyone could maintain their scruples while trying to both bring a fictional character to life and get all the specific details of their wedding down.

    But Perabo wasn’t the only one challenged to find balance. Kay is a writer and executive producer for Covert Affairs himself.

    With the filming of the most recent season of Covert Affairs out of the way and Perabo joined to Kay in wedded bliss, it looks like the actress and her new husband have managed their time and social constraints just fine.

    Congrats to Perabo and Kay on their big day!

  • Michael Douglas Reveals He Took Catherine Zeta-Jones ‘For Granted’

    Michael Douglas’ marriage to actress Catherine Zeta-Jones has been making headlines for quite some time.

    Back in May of 2013, news began surfacing about the famed Wall Street actor and his wife reportedly living separately. At the time, Zeta-Jones’ representative stated that the couple was “taking some time apart to evaluate and work on their marriage.”

    However, neither made any effort to legalize the split, which was a tell-tale sign of the possibility of reconciliation. Then, in November of 2013, that’s exactly what happened.

    A number of reports stated that the 44-year-old actress had moved back into their luxury condo in New York. Now, months after their topsy-turvy marital rollercoaster, Douglas has opted to open up about the problems they faced in their marriage.

    According to the Shillong Times, the 69-year-old actor openly admitted that one of his biggest faults in the marriage was taking his wife for granted.

    “When you are younger you care what other people think. And you take the person closest to you for granted. You waste a lot of energy on strangers to make a good impression. When you’re older you focus that energy on the people closest to you, on your family. And you’re courteous,” he said.

    Douglas went on to share his perspective on mistakes. He personally feels mistakes are made for a reason, and if one doesn’t learn from their past indiscretions, they aren’t evolving as a person. “First you have to admit that you made a mistake, then dealing with it is easy. Of course it’s important to make mistakes, as long as you grow from them,” he said.

    Douglas began dating the Welsh actress back in 1999. The couple married a year later on November 18, 2000. They have two children together – a son, Dylan Michael, and a daughter, Carys Zeta.

  • Catherine-Zeta Jones: Now Appreciated By Douglas

    Catherine Zeta-Jones has lots of kissing up to look forward to now that she is back full throttle in her marriage to Michael Douglas. Zeta-Jones, 44, and Douglas, 69, temporarily split last year after months of rumored marriage turbulence.

    The couple, who have children Dylan, 13, and Carys, 11, from their almost 14-year marriage, have overcome many battles in their lives. Catherine Zeta-Jones admitted recently that she struggles with bipolar disorder. This admission came with lots of media speculation, some bouts with depression, and a very public stint in rehab.

    Michael Douglas has battled cancer among other health issues. Together the couple has a lot to overcome, but at least they have each other. Douglas has said that he now appreciates Catherine and that he knows he has taken her for granted.

    “When you are younger you care what other people think. And you take the person closest to you for granted. You waste a lot of energy on strangers to make a good impression. When you’re older you focus that energy on the people closest to you, on your family. And you’re courteous.”

    The aging actor even admitted that even in his deteriorating physique, he is still…ahem…able to please his wife. I guess avoiding total annihilation of your marriage makes a couple more amorous.

    When he was asked if he was in the prime of his life now, he said, “Sexually? I am more comfortable in my own skin now.”

    Here’s hoping that couple can find strength in each other to face all that life can, and will, throw at them. Hopefully they can preserve that rare thing known as the long-lasting Hollywood marriage.

  • Jenny McCarthy, Donnie Wahlberg Reveal Details About Wedding Plans

    Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg are getting married!

    Now, rumors regarding details about their upcoming wedding are running rampant. However, most of the outlandish reports are the furthest thing from the truth.

    So, the 41-year-old model-actress has taken the time to offer some clarity. According to Extra TV, she and her singer-actor fiancé made it clear that they won’t be having a lavish, extravagant ceremony.

    “We’re not getting married in Istanbul with eight million guests,” Wahlberg clarified. “I won’t have three dresses,” McCarthy added.

    The former New Kids On the Block singer went on to address another outlandish rumor that has been circulating about the wedding. “No seven dresses, not going to happen… that’s their thing, good for them.”

    For those who aren’t quite sold on their admiration for simplicity, they even stated that they’d be satisfied with exchanging vows at Applebees! Although that idea is about as far-fetched as the wedding rumors, McCarthy spoke with the Boston Herald about it just a couple weeks ago.

    The View co-host told the publication that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s star-studded, extravagant wedding plans only heightened her desire to take a more simplified approach toward marriage.

    However, her interest in the popular restaurant chain didn’t go unnoticed! Applebees actually tweeted McCarthy, welcoming the couple with open arms.

    “I thought it was very cute that Applebee’s tweeted us, so we went in on it, we actually said maybe we should have them do the appetizers,” McCarthy said. Wahlberg also added a suggestion of his own saying, “Or the wedding rehearsal dinner, it was really sweet of them.”

    While the happy couple admitted that they haven’t even begun planning their wedding, they’re definitely enjoying the engagement. However, they did confirm that the occasion will be a small, intimate affair.

    “We’ll have a small wedding in a really beautiful place and we both want do it right this time… we’ve both been married before and we want to make it special… this is the last wedding so…,” he said.

    No matter what they decide, the wedding will surely be beautiful.

  • Kimora Simmons, Tim Leissner Secretly Marry, Russell Simmons Confirms Via Twitter

    Kimora Lee Simmons has apparently tied the knot for the third time! According to her ex-husband business magnate Russell Simmons, the former fashion model has wed Goldman Sachs businessman Tim Leissner.

    However, the kicker is that Simmons revealed that his ex-wife has been married for quite some time.

    The Def Jam co-founder, who referred to himself as the “gossip cop,” spilled the news on Twitter.

    It was actually rumored that the JustFab president was actually dating Cash Money mogul Birdman. So, Simmons took to Twitter to set the record straight.

    On Wednesday, Feb. 19, Simmons tweeted, “All of us love @OfficialKimora but the fact is she is happily married. Tim has been in the family for a while now.” Then, shortly after he quipped, “Oh. And.. Tim is not Russian. Lol.”

    Although E! News speculated that the Life in the Fab Lane reality star had gotten married back in December, the claim had never been confirmed. The two vacationed together in St. Barts over the Christmas holidays, which was where the speculation began.

    Lee and Leissner, along with her two daughters Ming, 14, Aoki, 11, and her son Kenzo, 4, spent Christmas together. Russell was also in St. Barts with the family, enjoying the holiday with his daughters.

    The two were also spotted on board an opulent $325,000 per day yacht in the beautiful collectivity. Another clue that raised eyebrows were the rings. The publication also reported that both of them were seen walking on the beach wearing rings on their left ring fingers.

    The Baby Phat creator has reportedly been dating Leissner for less than a year. But, their whirlwind romance doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Kimora and Russell Simmons were married for almost ten years when she filed for divorce in March 2008.

    However, she started dating Djimon Hounsou a whole year before she even filed for divorce from Russell. She and Hounsou had been dating almost two years before her divorce was finalized in January 2009. They dated for five years before calling it quits in 2012.

    However, she remains on amicable terms with Russell, and they often travel together as one big happy family.

  • Megan Fox, Brian Austin Green Welcome Second Son

    Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green have welcomed their second child! According to TooFab, the Transformers star gave birth to another baby boy on Thursday, Feb. 13. The child’s birth comes as a major feat for the 27-year-old actress who actually had a “rough” pregnancy.

    On Friday, Nov. 22, Fox briefly spoke with US Weekly when she attended the Avon Foundation #SeeTheSigns of Domestic Violence Campaign. The This Is 40 actress admitted to having a difficult first trimester. “I’ve had rough first trimesters,” she revealed. “But once you get into the second, it’s fine after that.”

    Then in December, Fox stopped by the Tonight Show with Jay Leno where she revealed similar concerns. The actress recounted some of the difficulties she’d experienced during of her first pregnancy. “It was so bad for me,” she recalled.

    “I was convinced that I was, like, maybe birthing a vampire baby like the one in Twilight — you know what happens to Bella, where she’s in cold sweats all the time — and I felt like that was happening because I had no vitamins and nutrients, and I was just nauseous…Something not human was happening!”

    Although she did express that she was “feeling better,” she admitted that taking care of an infant with another baby on the way had been quite challenging. When asked if she could decipher the difference between the two pregnancies, she quipped about not having time to think while running behind her active, 16-month-old son. Its probably safe to say Fox can definitely relate to the old cliché’ about not having enough hours in a day!

    “I don’t have time to think about it, I have a 1-year-old running around. And then when you’re working like 16 hours a day, there’s no time for you at all. When I was home, I wasn’t sleeping,” Fox added. “I was trying to make out time for the baby and spend time with him. So it was rough.”

    Fox and Green began dating back in 2004 after meeting on the set of Hope & Faith. The couple’s on-again, off-again engagement spanned over four years before the two ultimately tied the knot June 24, 2010 in Maui, HI.

    The newborn bundle of joy is the second boy for the couple, who welcomed their first son Noah Shannon Green in September 2012. However, the baby will be the third boy for Green, who also has an 11-year-old son named Kassius, from his previous relationship with Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Vanessa Marcil.

    No further details about the baby’s birth have been released.

  • Channing Tatum Is Quite ‘Fappy’ These Days

    Channing Tatum’s signature chiseled abs may not be as profound these days, but it doesn’t matter because he’s still floating on cloud nine. As a matter of fact, the 22 Jump Street actor says he’s “fat and happy” right now!

    On Thursday, Feb. 6, Tatum stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show. According to E! News, the actor revealed how he’s often asked about stripping since his famed role in the popular, 2012 film Magic Mike.

    Someone’s always requesting that the hunky actor shed some clothing! But, lately he’s been a bit hesitant about flaunting his frame. “You definitely don’t want that right now,” he said.

    When DeGeneres inquired further asking why he’d feel that way, his response was rather comedic.

    “Right now – what me and my wife [Jenna Dewan Tatum] like to call it, I am very ‘fappy,’ ” he said with a grin. “I’m very fat and happy right now … I’ve been working for two straight years, and now it’s some really needed downtime.”(image)

    Tatum, who was actually named PEOPLE’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2012, also reflected upon his glory days of basking in the esteemed honor. He also recounted how his wife would quip about his lauded sex appeal, teasing and referring to him as the S.M.A. acronym.

    “She called me the SMA,” he says. “She’s like, ‘SMA, can you get me coffee?” Although Tatum isn’t hitting the gym as often these days, he’s still getting a full workout at home.

    The 33-year-old actor went on to talk about life on the homefront, and how he’s been utilizing his much ‘needed downtime’. He and his wife spend lots of time parenting their 8-month-old daughter, Everly.

    “She’s eight months old now and saying ‘da, da, da, da,’ I don’t think she knows what it means just yet, but it doesn’t matter,” he gushed.

    “She’s sleeping now too…You know how you get that first thing of not feeling cool enough for your kid, because like you think you’re the coolest thing in the world so far and she’s just like a little baby, she just a little infant? But she actually has better taste in music than I think I do. Because she will only fall asleep to really good music.”
