On Tuesday, Liam Neeson made his first public appearance since his wife Natasha Richardson's tragic death. She passed away suddenly, after a skiing accident this past March.
Liam stepped out at the Tribeca Grand Hotel in New York for the premiere of his upcoming film, Five Minutes of Heaven. Understandably, questions about his personal life were not permitted, but Liam graciously answered questions about the movie.
When one reporter asked Liam how he imagines heaven, he replied that he is "kind of living it at the moment," with his sons.
It's nice to hear that he's so close with his boys. I'm already looking forward to seeing Five Minutes of Heaven when it premiers on August 21.
Tony Romo, you dog.
It looks like the Dallas Cowboys quarterback was already working on Jessica Simpson's replacement before he even broke up with the singer.
According to the new issue of Us Weekly, Tony was a having an emotional affair with Natalie Smith -- a younger Jessica look-a-like -- for a good amount of time before he broke Jess' heart.
"They've always flirted and texted each other," a pal of Natalie's said. "They had phone conversations one to two months before the breakup."
Natalie the daughter of the associate athletic director at Tony's alma mater, Eastern Illinois University, and even introduced her to Jess backstage at one of Jess' concerts.
A source close to Natalie says that the 22-year-old and the QB "are not officially dating, but they are having an intimate relationship."
Poor Jess.
Last night, Beatle mania captured New York City for the first time in years.
Paul McCartney performed on The Late Show with David Letterman on the roof of the Ed Sullivan Theater. It was the first time in 45 years that Paul returned to the famous theater where he made his first American television appearance with The Beatles in 1964!
Only two of his numbers, the famed, "Get Back," and one of his new songs, "Sing the Changes," were shown on television, but he actually performed over 30 minutes of music for the frenzied crowd gathered in the streets. From Beatles classics like "Helter Skelter" and "Back in the USSR," to "Band on the Run," a song he recorded with his second rock group, Wings, Paul didn't disappoint!
Beatles fans everywhere should be proud: he may be getting older, but he's still got it!
What a shock this is. Not.
Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake "Incarcerated" Fielder-Civil is filing for divorce from the singer.
"I can confirm that I have been instructed to commence divorce proceedings on the grounds of Amy's adultery," Henri Brandman, Blake's lawyer told People.com.
Wait -- adultery?
You mean to tell me that there is someone else who wants to sleep with Amy?
Apparently, there is. Amy has been spending the last few weeks in St. Lucia, palling around with some young rugby player.
Blake's mother, Georgette Civil, says she just can't wait for the couple's split to be official. "I am just so relieved it's going to be all over."
Yeah, that makes, I don't know, 8 million of us.
Cynthia Rodriguez will, most likely, be tossing her all of her Madonna CDs ASAP.
According to reports, Alex Rodriguez's wife is set to file for divorce this morning from the Yankee, after reports surfaced last week that the baseball player is having an affair with the Material Girl. Though this isn't the first time Alex has strayed, when her husband, all of a sudden, took an interest in Kabbalah (Madge's obsession), Cynthia reportedly had enough.
"Cynthia has left Alex," a source told People.com. "Let's see if she goes for the divorce. He did make her sign a prenup."
Another insider said, ""The embarrassment over Madonna was the last straw. She flew to Paris to get out of town before everything blew up between them. There is no affair with Lenny Kravitz. They are good friends."
Madonna's rep denied that there is any trouble in the singer's marriage to Guy Ritchie, but I'm having a hard time believing that. You?
So here's the latest Britney Spears rumor.
While Brit's paparazzi boy toy was out of town this weekend, the pop tart hung out with photographers from a different pap agency, who were told, by Brit's creepy friend Sam Lufti, that the Britster had requested a restraining order against Adnan.
"Britney asked us to leave the cameras in the car, and she poured some champagne for us. She was very sweet," said a photographer from X-17, who partied with Britney at her house, at 2am Sunday morning. "Sam was telling us to not worry about Adnan because they have filed a restraining order against him."
Apparently the breakup was news to Adnan, who posted this message on the website of his employer, FinalPixx.com:
"All I can say is that I have not been in contact with Britney since early Friday morning. The reason being, that I have has to attend a family funeral in Santa Barbara. My phone has been off during this time out of respect for my family. I am only now becoming aware of what is being said. I hope to be back home in Los Angeles soon and to be in contact with Miss Spears."
The word on the street is that Britney figured out (finally) that Adnan was trying to profit off of her and was convinced to get rid of him by friends -- you know, her other, very honest, paparazzi pals -- but, so far, the LAPD says they are "not aware" of any restraining order against Adnan.
It's a day of celeb sightings!
Another FOB in Chicago rubbed elbows with celeb chef Emeril Lagasse this weekend. Our spy said that Emeril "was drinking Chopin vodka on the rocks and he wanted an onion garnish -- but they didn't have onions." The "Bam!" Master "seemed to be celebrating something and was dancing with the waitresses to be funny."
Love that Emeril -- man knows how to have a good time whether he is in the kitchen or out!
"I had a prime people-watching table on the balcony at Tao in Vegas this weekend. We had heard the DJ say something about his "man K-Fed in the mother [bleeping] building!", but after scanning the crowd several times we didn't see him. Then all of a sudden, there he was in the DJ booth. The DJs and Kevin all seemed like buddies and passed around a bottle of Patron, that they swigged from directly. Kevin ad-libbed to a few songs (basically saying "ugh!" "what?!" and "I can't hear you!" over and over), and he had a flashlight in his hand that he kept shining around all over the place, either to prevent people from taking pictures or to illuminate his other hand, which he kept throwing "west coast" street signs with. To Fed's credit, the music got pretty good when he came out, but I was waiting and waiting for them to play "Popozao" and it never happened. What, am I the only one who liked that song?"
Thanks for the dirt, Marissa, but, yes, you might be the only one who liked that song.
Meanwhile, the Fedster has snagged himself a primetime deal! Check out the details at TV Cocktail
While Cameron Diaz might be spending her nights getting sweaty with John Mayer, yesterday she got sweaty with a FOB (Friend of Blabber). One of my spies saw Cameron at a NYC gym yesterday (she's here making a movie) and made sure to size her up, so that she could share all of the details with us.
"She looked no different than she does onscreen or in magazines," says FOB. "Really tall, really thin and super toned. She was wearing navy spandex pants, Nike sneakers, a tight white t-shirt and a blue sweatband. She was with a trainer. She was on the treadmill for a while -- I was next to her -- then did a lot of weight training with the trainer."
So... about that skin. Are the rumors true? Should Cameron be the next celebrity to endorse ProActiv... and start using it?
"Her skin actually didn't look bad at all," reveals FOB, "but she didn't look gorgeous or anything. Her face was a little sweaty, but no sweat stains on her clothes."
Not that Cam would be rubbing a Tide-to-Go stick to get 'em out anyway.

It was Mr. Keaton from Family Ties -- known in real world as Michael Gross. He dressed really nicely and was polite too. He helped Chrissy put her suitcase in the overhead luggage rack. He also got off in Penn Station and went on his way. Didn't hail her a cab or anything -- the suitcase lifting was gentlemanly enough.
Funny -- a few years back I actually saw Meredith Baxter (Elise Keaton) at the pharmacy counter in Duane Reade in Midtown. She was wearing running clothes and was sweaty.
Has anyone seen Michael J. Fox, Justine Bateman or Tina Yothers? It will bring this story full circle.

Last night a Blabber spy hit the 2007 Cipriani Wall Street Concert Series in NYC, where 50 Cent performed, and she rubbed elbows with The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson.
"[Fergie] was sooooo nice," the spy tells me. "She'd definitely had a lot to drink though. Her assistant was right behind her kinda rolling her eyes at some of the things she was saying. I also noticed that she wore her wedding ring!?! So weird because she's been divorced for such a long time. And apparently she has a reputation for always trying to score free stuff. She didn't get a lot of money in the divorce."
As for headliner 50 Cent... "He was great," the spy continues. "Fergie said she was nervous meeting him. She thought she said all thing wrong things."
I'm sure she did... but do you think 50 was even listening?
Wonder if Jennifer Garner sent them a wedding gift? Doubt it. And I doubt they care.
So, as you can imagine, I was psyched to be offered the opportunity to meet Angelina on Friday at the press junket for A Mighty Heart. I'll give you all the details about what she said later, but I wanted to first tell you what it was like being in the same room with Hollywood's biggest movie star (and most talked about actress).
First things first – yes, she's thin. Very thin. You could see the veins popping out of her arms. She was also dressed in all white, which made her look tinier. But although she's thin it wasn't like seeing Nicole Ribcage Richie. Angelina isn't that bad -- at all.
She was wearing minimal makeup -- eyeliner, mascara and if she was wearing lipstick it was so close to her shade of lips that you couldn't tell. Her hair was superthick and long. Full of body. It was brown of course, but it actually had a blondish look to it.
I think she's so interesting looking because of her features and they were larger in person. Her lips are like nothing I've seen before -- bee stung x 100. They just poked out. Far. Big, big, big.
Her eyes are an eye-popping shade that I've never seen before on a person. Minty. But they are gigantic too. Fish like. And when anyone talked, or she answered a person's question, she locked her eyes on you the whole time.
She also smiled a lot too. And laughed. And she was forthcoming about things... like her kids. For a minute I was like: Am I really talking to Angelina Jolie about Maddox and the gang? It was rather strange.
I think the part I remember most was that when she walked into the room, this burst of "clean" just filled the room. It wasn't perfume or shampoo or a scented lotion. It was just “clean.” Well-groomed, I guess.
Oh, and jewelry. She was wearing a watch, a diamond ring on her right hand (ring finger) and diamond earrings. Minimal. Classic.
I'll post the transcript of our conversation tomorrow, but for now here’s a shot of her with Shiloh and Maddox yesterday in NYC.
Plus: Check out photos of Angelina with Brad Pitt at the A Mighty Heart premiere last week.
One of my spies in in Chi-town just reported a Mandy Moore sighting. Here's the scoop:
“I just saw Mandy Moore in Chicago’s Peninsula hotel," says my Blabber spy. "She was wearing a black dress and looked like she was prepping for an interview or a photo shoot or something. I was with three other guys, and they all turned to look at her just because she was a really pretty girl – not because she was Mandy Moore. In fact, I was the only one who recognized her! I will say – and no judgment here – she’s definitely not ‘Hollywood skinny.'”
I agree! I noticed that when she was at the MTV Movie Awards a couple weeks ago. Very Marilyn Monroe-esque if you ask me.
