December 2006 Archives
"As some of you know, today is my 31st birthday. I'll spend it quietly with family and friends, but Elin and I have more exciting news to share: We are expecting our first child together this summer. Obviously, we couldn't be happier and our families are thrilled. I have always wanted to be a dad. I just wish my father could be around to share the experience. I'm going to stick close to home for the next few weeks. As I said on my website Friday, I'm going to start my 2007 PGA Tour season at the Buick Invitational in late January, which will allow Elin and I to spend more time with our families during this very special time in our lives. Our best wishes to everyone for a great 2007."
Congrats! Love him...
I cordially invite you to flip through iVillage's 2006 Celeb Weddings slide show, where they toast the Hollywood couples who took the plunge this year.
Not surprisingly, some of the peeps who got hitched have already split up. Only in Hollywood, folks.
And where there's happiness, there's sorrow. Here are the 2006 celebrity breakups.
I think you'll be glad that you weren't on Matthew McConaughey's Christmas list this year.
According to reports, he purchased headlamps for the folks on his list.
"I gave out a lot of headlamps, you know, the things you can wrap around your head and see what you're doing," he says. "I think they are one of the best inventions going. I gave electronic toothbrushes last year so it had to be headlamps this year."
Sometimes with him it's -- the lights are on, but nobody is home.
So there was a reason why Michael Jordan was hitting on the pretty ladies last week when he was in New York. He and his wife of 17 years, Juanita, are calling it quits. Or maybe they're calling it quits because he was hitting on the pretty ladies. Either way, they're done.
According to a statement issued through their lawyer, Juanita and Michael have "mutually and amicably decided to end their 17-year marriage. A judgment for dissolution of their marriage was entered today. There will be no further statements."
As I said, this is the second time they have announced they were divorcing. In 2002, Juanita filed citing "irreconcilable differences," but withdrew her petition weeks later when they announced they were trying to a reconcile.
Oh, and I love how they released this on a Friday night before a long holiday weekend. (Flashback to Nick and Jessica – Thanksgiving 2005.) Again, that's the typical celeb move so that the shock of it will be over on Tuesday when all the entertainment writers are back at work. But this is the Internet age, fools. We're on the case 24/7.
Also I should add that Michael has a reputation of playing around on the wifey for years. Now he can play all he wants.
Carson hosts a countdown for NBC and Ryan teams up with Dick Clark to host the countdown on ABC. But which one will you watch?
Put in your two cents in the new iVote Hollywood poll and see if you've got the same plans as other Blabber-ers.
On December 4, I told you that this couple had called it quits. One part of the pair was at one time a hot musician. The other is a super handsome former reality TV shot contestant. Well, now they're back together -- right now -- ringing in the New Year together in Miami.
Guess who?
Coming back to work for one day after a week of fabulous vacation is seriously rough. So, for your entertainment (and mine), let's make up some New Year's resolutions for the stars.
"I'm going to try really, really, really, really hard to be genuinely happy for Ashlee. Even though she thinks she's better than I am, and she's way cuter than me now. And she's probably making more money than me, and Papa Joe likes her better."
--Jessica Simpson
"I will continue to take over my sister's identity."
--Ashlee Simpson
"I promise to buy those days of the week underwear y'all and wear them every single day. Pinky swear."
--Britney
"We're going to adopt at least gazillion more babies this year."
--Brangelina
"I won't have sex for a whole year... take two."
--Paris
"We are going to try to be much less creepy."
--TomKat
"I will not steal illegally obtain any small children this year."
--Madonna
"Annoying Meredith Grey no more. I refuse to let those writers make my character so darn whiny. I'm happily engaged now and don't need a pouty role weighing me down."
--Ellen Pompeo
"Sh*t, I don't need to do anything this year. My trashy ex-wife is sinking all by herself. I'll just keep wearing these new blazers the GQ dudes sent me. Yeah, chicks dig these."
--K-Fed
I could go on forever, but I want to hear some of your best resolutions for the stars.
--Linds

Julia Roberts and hubby Danny Moder have their hands full already with two-year-old twins Phinnaeus and Hazel, but apparently they can handle it. Page Six is claiming Jules is preggers with her third baby, who is reportedly due this summer.
Hmmm, if it's a girl, I think she should name her Charlotte, considering the baby was most likely conceived while Julia voicing the star spider in the movie version of Charlotte's Web. Not so sure how I feel about Wilbur if the baby is a boy, though.

Former supermodel Niki Taylor got hitched just in time for the New Year. The ex-Cover Girl wed NASCAR driver Burney Lamar yesterday at the Grande Colonial Hotel in La Jolla, California. Awww.
The couple was engaged for only four months, but this is one star marriage I'm rooting for. They chose the Jack Johnson song "Better Together" for their first dance. Love. That. Song.
Congrats to Burney, Niki and her two kids, Jake and Hunter Martinez.

Do you think Steve Bing is hot? Fairly attractive? Even so-so? I don’t, but the Hollywood ladies are practically lining up to get their well-manicured hands on a little Bing ding-ding -- if you know what I'm sayin'.
Elizabeth Hurley dated the richy-rich businessman for a long time. They have a kid together... the paternity of which he publicly denied – a la Eddie Murphy – until a DNA test proved otherwise. Sweet guy. Then he was getting some nookie from Nicole Kidman. She dropped him and took up with Keith Urban... not sure if that was the smartest choice either in light of things.
Most recently, Pamela Anderson went on a date with this clown. And Jennifer Aniston reportedly just took his phone number.
What's the deal? What's the appeal? Why are so many beautiful, rich women falling for this guy who, to me, looks like a rat?
Let your opinion be heard by voting in the new iVote Hollywood poll – and feel free to give me a more detailed answer below... especially if you find him attractive.
I'm really bored today. Is this week over yet? Bring on New Year's, people -- noisemakers and all.
I've been killing time this afternoon by looking at photos of celebrity kids and celebrity couples in the Star Snapshots photo gallery. And this shot of my "husband" David Letterman has got to be one of my all-time favorite photos. How cute is Harry Letterman?
This new photo of Heidi Klum and Seal in Aspen is also quite sweet.
There's also a photo of Jessica Biel's sick bikini body. No wonder she's got Derek Jeter trying to "play ball" with her. One look at it and I cried with relief that bathing suit season is a looong way off.
Daniel Craig! Daniel Craig! Daniel Craig!
Here is a new picture from the film, which comes out in August 2007.

"Keith is on a leave in Australia to be with his family during the holidays," his publicist told Associated Press. "This is a natural occurrence at this point in his treatment. He will continue with his rehab upon his return."
Rehab shmehab! I want to know how he's going to handle the cheating allegations some slag named Amanda Wyatt is making against him.
Will this spell the end of marriage number two for Nic?
The Webmaster of one of the biggest Britney fan sites -- WorldofBritney.com -- is closing up shop because he thinks the mom tart is "unfortunately done." Too many nasty crotch shots? Anyway, he announces his big move in a press release after the jump.
