Celebrity Unofficial

Well, lo and behold celebrities aren’t that different from the rest of us. Britney Spears is reportedly continuing to drink and live it up despite her stint in rehab.  The only difference is that now she is trying to hide it by pouring alcohol into less conspicuous containers like energy drinks and carafes at restaurants.  Celebrity or not, the rules are the same: once an alcoholic always an alcoholic.  A few days in rehab isn’t going to get to the root of her emotional issues and certainly isn’t going to have any real effect on her depression.  Until she takes some real time to deal with her issues, she will continue to drink, shop, overeat, anything to fill the void in her life that seems to have hit her over the head like a brick.  It’s as if her career kept her so busy that she couldn’t see that she never grew up.  When she stopped to get married and have kids all the sudden she can’t handle real life.  Regardless, alcohol seems to be her drug/solution of choice and it will always be her first impulse to drink away her problems and bad feelings.  She is no different from the bum on the street except she has money.

According to US Weekly, Nicole Richie is definitely pregnant and more than 12 weeks along.  She and Joel Madden reportedly plan to marry.  Regardless, Nicole has less than 6 months to make some major life changes.  Maybe if her DUI charges land her in jail like her coworker Paris Hilton she will end up having some life epiphany.  And, hopefully she realizes there is a big difference between a chihauhua and a baby.

According to the latest gossip, Christina Aguilera and husband Jordan Bratman are expecting their first baby!  They are approaching their 2-year wedding anniversary and reportedly just purchased the Osbourne mansion.  While no doubt she should not completely abandon her singing career, it’s great that she is at a point in her life where she can enjoy being a mother and do it out of the real desire to be a parent rather than expecting a baby to fill some personal void.

While certainly Nicole Richie deserves to find happiness someday, she certainly needs to find some bit of stability before subjecting a child to her life.  She is living proof that money isn’t everything, and it is sad to hear that in the aftermath of a DUI and admitting to smoking marijuana and abusing Vicodin as well as clearly suffering from an eating disorder she may actually be pregnant.  If Joel Madden is the father and they plan to stay together, hopefully he can have the same effect on Nicole Richie that Jordan Bratman has had on Christina Aguilera.

Britney Spears has issued an apology to the paparazzi whose car she whacked repeatedly with an umbrella earlier this year around the same time she decided to go for the “light and breezy” look for her scalp…

She claims that it was in preparation for a movie role that she never got, but that excuse doesn’t exactly pass the smell test… Hey Britney, part of the step program is admitting the truth, and we’re not buying that this was it…

Here are the first Claire Forlani wedding photos from her marriage in Pievebovigliana, Italy, on June 8, 2007:

As predictably as ever, Lindsay Lohan has headed back to rehab after getting caught with cocaine in her car. It’s the first play in the celebrity playbook: head to rehab to avoid getting charged or doing time if they are charged.

It’s a shame that it’s highly unlikely that it’s going to do her any more good that her previous stint in rehab did because she’s not doing it because she has recognized that she has a problem: she’s doing it to avoid getting in any deeper trouble than she’s already in…and there’s a huge difference in the likelihood of success between the two.

I hope it works, but I’m not exactly holding my breath here….

Anne Heche and her ex-to-be, Coleman Laffoon, are the latest celebrity break-up to make headlines for lurid accusations of misbehavior and an ugly custody dispute.

She’s accusing him of dishing the kid off on others while he stays home surfing online pornography, and he’s accusing her of being an absentee mother who dishes the kid off on nannies…

Hmm…there does seem to be at least one common thread here in that both of them are accusing the other of hiring other people to parent their child….Sounds to me like neither one of them is spending much time with the little boy, and perhaps he might be better off if custody were awarded to one of the nannies….

I suppose we should be surprised, but it was just a matter of time really: Lindsay Lohan cited for drunk driving.

Given that she’s still a tender 20 years old, there’s the additional complication that she’s underage. Hopefully the same judge who sentenced Paris Hilton to jail will catch Lindsay’s case and give her a little “time off” to contemplate her partying ways.

Let’s face it…Lindsay’s trials and tribulations make for great headlines, but at the bottom of it all is out of control little girl who needs a serious wake-up call. Maybe this time our “justice system” will deliver a much needed sobering up…
