Love Nuke

If Arnie and Sly wanted to make a point that action movies are a young man’s game, they demonstrated the point rather amply in separate stunt-related mishaps recently; and ended up next to each other in the hospital in the process.

Veteran of several action movies, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, having long been professional rivals, seemed fairly comfortable with each other indicating a fair degree of camaraderie. That’s also the opinion of the general public posting on various celebrity news websites

Schwarzenegger, the former Governor of California who recently announced a return to action movies, posted a picture on his WhoSay account, showing Stallone and himself next to each other.

Celebrity Gossip: Shooting Action Movies, Getting Along Just Fine

Schwarzenegger had the following text accompanying the picture: ‘After all the action, stunts and physical abuse shooting (action movies) The Expendables 2 and The Last Stand, it was time for a little tune up on my shoulder. Look who was coincidentally waiting in line behind me for his shoulder surgery.

‘Now we’re ready for another round of great times and action when we shoot The Tomb.‘

Well into their sixties at 64 and 64 respectively, Arnie and Sly—as their many fans like to call them—must already be wondering if they should leave the action  movies genre to the younger men after all.

Celebrity Gossip Rags Taking it With a Pinch of Salt

This photo has been greeted with a far degree of skepticism in celebrity gossip columns as both of them have a few action movies to promote, including Expenables 2, which features both of them. If one looks at it that way, the coincidence does seem to be a little too well-timed for it to be real; that the photo shows a syringe sticking out of Stallone’s neck lends credence to the spoof theory.

Arnold and Sly were massive rivals in the 80s, and continually tried to outdo each other in the race to be the top action movies star in Hollywood.

While Sly starred in perhaps the two most enduring franchises in the world of action movies—Rocky and Rambo to be precise—the Austrian Oak  had an edge due to his massive box office successes with action movies such as Terminator 2, Total Recal, Red Heat and True Lies.

Forgetting Old Rivalries from the Golden Days of Action Movies

They seem to be over the rivalry now, what with their regularly co-starring in big-budget action movies hinting at a fast friendship: The Tomb would be their third movie together. Arnold also had a guest appearance in 2010′s The Expendables, while he has an extended part in the upcoming sequel.

In their latest project Stallone will play a man who designs an inescapable high-tech prison, but is trapped there himself after being double-crossed. Luckily he will be helped in his quest to escape with the help of a friendly fellow inmate played by Schwarzenegger. The seven-time Mr. Olympia winner has also just finished filming The Last Stand, Arnold’s first foray into action movies of the Western genre.

There are celebrities and then there are celebrity gossip celebrities: the ones who are famous for being famous (or even infamous). Kim Kardashian is a case in point. Every action by her seems orchestrated for the celebrity gossip rags, each one more tabloid fodder than the last. This time, though, even she would perhaps be uneasy over the attention her short-lived marriage to Kris Humphries is receiving from the celebrity gossip tabloids.

In fresh news to emerge from the ashes of her 72-day broken marriage to basketball player Kris Humphries—a union that had set tongues wagging in celebrity gossip circles—it turns out that Humphries just isn’t interested in any money whatsoever from a possible settlement.

Sources have revealed to certain celebrity gossip sites that there have been informal settlement talks between the legal teams of the two celebrities.

Humphries’ team has clarified that Kris doesn’t want a penny from Kim, and that the only contention from his end is that the marriage was a fraud. Sources have also revealed that a compromise on that point is unlikely as Kim is only willing to state that the marriage didn’t work out.

Celebrity Gossip: ‘Leaked Backstage Footage’ Strengthens ‘Fraud’ Claim, say Team Humphries Lawyers

Humphries’ legal team wants to study the video footage from the reality show Kourtney & Kim. This footage is of an emotionally charged talk, purportedly backstage on Kourtney & Kim, between Kim and her mother about the ‘failing marriage’. The lawyers representing Humphries are not claiming that this so called heart-to-heart was staged and actually happened in December on soundstage, not October as suggested. If true, his strengthens Kris’ claim about the marriage being a ‘fraud’.
In the “slice-of-life” scene that was allegedly leaked (as if it wasn’t meant to be seen!), Kim is telling her mother about how the marriage isn’t going as planned and asking her advice. Sounds touching, but the writers at this celebrity gossip blog aren’t sure what to think when news emerges that Kim and her mother emerged from a Hollywood TV studio wearing the same outfit and hairstyle as seen on the video.

Kim is Unperturbed by Celebrity Gossip Reports about ‘Fake Video’

Kim looked remarkably unruffled by Kris’s claims last night as she arrived looking happy and relaxed to take a flight out of LAX.

Wearing shiny black leggings, flip flops and a black blazer, the star looked fashionable.

Humphries has cited fraud as the official response to Kim’s divorce petition and is seeking an annulment instead. To that end, he wants his estranged wife, her mother and the show staff to be questioned by his lawyer regarding the aforementioned, allegedly fake conversation Kim had with her mother.

Kris feels that proving the whole conversation to be faked would lend credibility his own contention of being married to Kim under fraudulent circumstances.

Meanwhile, Kim wants her divorce petition heard by a mediator.

She’s reportedly keen to have her marriage to 26-year-old NBA star Humphries legally ended as soon as possible and plans to request that the proceedings are held in private. The latter is routine practice in California, since it’s a no-fault state.

Hello and welcome to yet another update as we bring you the latest celebrity gossip and news from the world of entertainment.

Kutcher’s Hotel Fling, Sara Leal, Spills All in Exclusive Celebrity Gossip Interview

Starting with the juicier gossip: Sara Leal, the hitherto unknown 22-year-old whose only claimed to fame is her self-alleged affair with Ashton Kutcher, has spoken at length about the affair in her first interview with US Weekly. Leal has reportedly stated that Kutcher claimed to be separated from his wife, actress Demi Moore, when he entered the affair with Leal.

Leal’s rather detailed and sordid revelations have made her the darling of celebrity gossip paparazzi. Leal claims that he told a group of women, including herself, at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, where they met. What makes Leal’s account more damning is her revelation that the ‘cheating’ took place on September 24^th, Kutcher and Moore’s sixth wedding anniversary, followed by the subsequent fling.

While  gossip rags have been quick to pounce on these revelations, making an instant celebrity out of 22-year old Leal, it is quite plain that her revelations will only harm all involved parties: Kutcher, Moore, and in the longer run, herself.

Celebrity Gossip: Diddy Saves Harlem Boys & Girls Club with Emergency Donation

Moving from salacious gossip to more heartwarming news, Sean “Diddy” Combs has recently come to the rescue of The Boys & Girls Club of Harlem, which was facing closure due to a cash crunch. As reported by some celebrity gossip papers, Combs donated $60,000 to the club.

Comb’s contribution would go a long way in directly benefiting underprivileged youth in the Harlem area, predominantly populated by those of African-American and Hispanic ethnicity. The club carries out educational recreational and social enrichment programs, which shall now resume after being interrupted due to the club’s financial difficulties.

Pressed for comment by some celebrity gossip publications, Diddy simply expressed his willingness to help, owing to past familiarity with the club: Diddy hails from Harlem himself.

Bravo Backs Bethenny Frankel’s Lost at Sea Story

Bethany Frankel, creator of “SkinnyGirl” and ex-New York Real Housewife, was recently subjected to rather scathing write-ups by celebrity gossip rags over the validity of her reported 20-hour ordeal of being stranded at sea. However, Bravo has jumped to her defense, reportedly confirming the story.

“It is accurate that Bethenny, Jason and their therapist were stranded at sea when the navigation on their boat broke during a taping for the new season of Bethenny Ever After,” a Bravo spokesperson said in a statement.

Frankel said she and husband, Jason, were lost at sea after the GPS on their boat malfunctioned. They had to wait 20 hours for the Coast Guard to come save them. However, one of the men who helped rescue them told some celebrity gosip publications that Frankel and her husband were fine. He claims it was staged for her reality show.

Is Jennifer single Again??? This the most common question that can be heard after Jennifer herself has declared that she is getting separate from Marc, her third husband, after seven years of their marriage.

Lopez, 41, and Anthony, 42, were married secretly on June 5, 2004 at her home in Beverly Hills, California and have two children together, twins Max and Emme.
After her first marriage to Ojani Noa in 1997, and again in 2001 to her backup dancer Cris Judd, this will be Jennifer’s THIRD divorce whereas for Marc’s it will be his second divorce.

News of Lopez and Anthony’s split was announced late Friday, when the couple issued a joint statement.
The couple just released a statement, claiming, “We have decided to end our marriage. This was a very difficult decision. We have come to an amicable conclusion on all matters.”

So what next for the couple???
The couple will be working jointly in another program, South American talent competition Q’Viva (“The Chosen”). And, both Lopez and Anthony will both be on board when the show begins taping in the fall.

Taylor Swift music career is booming but sadly the singer does not have the same kind of luck when it comes to men. Celebrity Gossip can reveal that Taylor Swift is single yet again after her new relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal has ended in tears.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift have only been going out for two months but already it seems two months is two months to long after the couple have called time on their relationship.

According to a source the relationship ended in December just before Xmas leaving the singer single over the Christmas and New Year period.

An official statement has not been issued although a source close to the singer has confirmed Taylor is now single and there is no chance of the couple getting back together.

As I sat under the hair dryer this past week at my favorite salon perusing my regular supply of weekly entertainment glossies, I remarked out loud how breathtaking I thought singer Alicia Keys looked in her one-shoulder Vera Wang-designed wedding gown. On one particular tabloid cover, Keys seemed to glow as she kissed her new husband, Swizz Beatz, in front of a fabulous island. Now, usually a comment about a popular celebrity elicits an immediate response in my chatty salon. Not this day. My complimentary words about Keys were met with an odd silence that lasted five minutes or more. (For those who aren’t familiar with the African-American beauty-salon etiquette, that’s an eternity.)Finally, the young lady under the dryer next to mine calmly turned to me and asked how I could admire a husband-stealing “floozy” like Keys. Before I could process that question, the woman on the other side chimed in by adding that Keys had one less fan now that she’d broken up someone else’s home.

To say I was completely floored by the callous reactions of these seemingly sensible women would be an understatement. Yes, I’d read all the blog accounts of how Keys allegedly began an affair with her then-married record producer Swizz Beatz while recording her most recent album. I’d even read interviews where the “jilted’’ wife of Beatz claimed Keys became pregnant months before she and her husband had officially divorced. (Keys have not commented publicly on any of this.) I skimmed most of the stories about Keys, but only partially retained the scandalous and racy tidbits because frankly, I just don’t care much about the intimate details of Alicia Keys’s life. I just really love her music.

When I explained my point of view to the women around me, they were clearly appalled at my lack of outrage. They pointed out the contradiction of Keys’s private life and her pro-female lyrics and classy on-stage persona. As they listed the many ways in which Keys had disappointed them, they spoke as if they personally knew her—as if she were a friend they had drinks with every Friday night after work.
And therein lies the looming problem we as fans now face. Because of the mass influx of social-media networks, celebrity blogs, and endless celebrity-based reality shows, Americans have been lulled into a dangerously false sense of intimacy with the people only meant to entertain us. It’s allowed us to have detailed opinions on the actions and lives of people who used to be just fleeting and mysterious images on a video or in a film. Having “inside” knowledge about stars, their comings and goings, dating habits, and even their shopping choices has somehow made us feel that we share similarities with the faces that flawlessly grace magazine covers, light up the big screen, and sell millions of albums.

Accordingly, that so-called knowledge also appears to have given us the right to judge celebs as harshly as we would our actual friends without ever considering the fact that blogs, magazines, and even the celebs themselves rarely tell anyone the full story. Just take the sad predicament of Fantasia Barrino, the former American Idol winner who recently attempted suicide after the details of her alleged relationship with a married man were revealed in a lawsuit. Barrino was reportedly so distraught by the news—and the vicious and mean comments posted by fans on celebrity blogs—that she took a mix of sleeping pills and aspirin to shut it all out. That’s an interesting and sad turn for a celebrity who was created by a television show that allowed viewers to call in and vote on her success— now they’re apparently voting on her morality as well.
But where does that leaves us as fans when we decide we won’t support the career of some imperfect person whose talent or intellect has profoundly affected us? Is anyone out there really able to live up to society’s standard of being a “good person” and the perfect role model? Is there even such a thing? Thinking about all this led me to reflect on the lives of my all-time favorite singers, Marvin Gaye and Sam Cooke—men whose music I simply couldn’t fathom being without. Both were involved in a number of scandalous affairs while still married and both died extremely violent deaths. Cooke was shot and killed by a prostitute, while Gaye was gunned down by his own father during an argument—not exactly the peaceful lives one would expect from men who wrote such iconic and thought-provoking songs as “A Change Is Gonna Come’’ and “What’s Going On.’’ During their lifetimes in the ‘50s, ‘60s, and ‘70s, only bits and pieces of their personal stories surfaced for public consumption. While fans of that generation surely heard the rumors, they never seemed to allow them to impact their love for the true genius of the artist in question. They simply separated the men or women from their music. Maybe it’s time we do the same.
