Beyonce and Jay-Z’s big fight


The NY Post reported this weekend that Beyonce had a fight with her long term boyfriend, Def Jam president Jay-Z, while at Monday’s Net-Heat playoff game, and left to fly back home:

May 13, 2006 — THE tension wasn’t only on the court at Monday’s Net-Heat game. Sources say Beyoncé had a roiling blowup with Jay-Z as New Jersey dribbled over Miami, 100-88. “She stormed off and flew back home,” one tipster said. Beyoncé’s East and West Coast publicists were blissfully unaware of any fireworks. “I don’t know if she had a fight,” sniffed Columbia Records’ Yvette Noel-Schure, who declined to contact her Grammy-winning client to find out for sure.

It seems like the report was overblown and the power couple patched things up quickly. They were snapped enjoying game three of the Net-Heat playoffs on Friday. Heat won 103 to 92, and is ahead in the series three to one. Game five is tomorrow.

Vince Vaughn on “Oprah”: Jen’s “one of my favorite people” (update: video)


In an appearance on today’s “Oprah,” Vince Vaughn sort of acknowledged his relationship with co-star Jennifer Aniston when questioned directly, but he gave the old “Jen’s my friend” response earlier in the interview:

Vince speaks highly of his Break-Up co-star, whom he is also dating. “Jennifer’s great. She’s one of my favorite people,” says Vince. “She’s just really smart and funny and easy to be with—very considerate. She’s great.”

Even though they’re hounded by the press and there’s a lot of controversy over Pitt leaving Aniston for Angelina Jolie, you think Vaughn could come up with a better way to handle it than to act like he’s just buddies with his live-in girlfriend. He told David Letterman about a week ago that “I’m not saying we are or aren’t a couple. I think she’s great, but I just don’t discuss whether we are.”

That’s weird and most celebrities at least acknowledge their significant other without getting into too much detail. It’s strange that Vaughn is referring to Aniston like a friend’s sister or someone he just happens to know, and it doesn’t make their relationship seem too secure.

When Oprah asked Vince if he considered having children with Aniston, he didn’t jump back into his “just friends” mantra and seemed to acknowledge that he’s with her. He said there’s no way he’s having kids with her, though:

Does Vince want to have kids? “At some point I would,” says Vince. “I’ve always liked kids a lot—but no plans for the future. First we have to have the $8 million wedding!”

Has Vince discussed having kids with Jennifer? “No, I have not talked about having kids with Jennifer,” he says. “I think [having children] takes a lot of focus, takes a lot of attention. I think it would be nice at some point to have a different priority in something else as you’ve sort of done stuff and challenged yourself, I think that time would come. But not any time in the near future for me, I don’t think.”

It doesn’t sound like VInce wants to stay in his relationship. Any guy his age who wants kids but doesn’t want them with their girlfriend - just doesn’t want to be with their girlfriend.

Aniston is said to have asked Vince to give up a role that would have required him to film abroad for three months, suggesting that she’s just as clingy and whiny as everyone thinks she is.

Aniston is also said to be devastated by the artsy pictures of Brad and Angelina on the beach in Namibia that came out a couple weeks ago. She was nearly in tears and said that Brad never looked that happy with her. It’s just a matter of time before Vince wises up, too.

Here is Vince on Oprah. Thanks to marthaz on the JJB board for pointing these out.

Update: Video segment of Vince on Oprah:

Britney Spears cuts Kevin Spenderline off


Britney Spears is said to be fed up with her husband Kevin Federline’s spending, and has told him she won’t pay for any more expensive trips to Vegas for him and his friends:

BRITNEY Spears is pregnant and depressed - and she’s not in any mood to let free-spending hubby Kevin Federline take off to have fun in Las Vegas with his posse. “Kevin asked Britney for money to go to Las Vegas in two weeks, and she shut him down,” our insider said. “Britney told him that she won’t be funding his trips with his friends any longer - he used to fly everyone out on her dime. The monthly allowance she had put him on seems to be disappearing after only one week.” A rep for Spears, who despite the pregnancy is still working on her album for Jive, referred calls to Federline’s rep, who said, “I have no comment.”

This isn’t the first time Britney has been concerned with Kevin’s spending. She supposedly cut up his credit cards and had his Ferrari towed back in December, but quickly reneged.

This comes right after news that Britney hired a security guard babysitter for Kevin, further suggesting their relationship is on the rocks.

Here she is outside of a Taco Bell in LA and in a new magazine spread for Glamour UK. [via] It could be the wind blowing her top out, but she looks pretty pregnant.

Did Keith Urban break Nicole Kidman’s heart?

Nicole Kidman's profile on the Oscars red carpet
The National Enquirer is running an exclusive that claims that Keith Urban has called off plans to marry Nicole in order to focus on his sobriety. They claim that Nicole had a fall wedding in Tahiti planned, but that Urban canned it and wants time off from the relationship:

Nicole Kidman is devastated because fiancé Keith Urban has cancelled their fairytale wedding, saying he wanted a break from the Oscar-winning actress, sources have exclusively told The ENQUIRER.

Country superstar Keith has called a time-out in their romance to concentrate on his long-running battle with alcohol and drugs.

Sources say that Nicole had already set a date and started making plans for a fall wedding in Tahiti when the handsome star, voted Country Music Entertainer of the Year in 2005, delivered the bombshell news.

“Nicole is heartbroken — she thinks Keith is the man for her,” said an insider. “Keith told her he wanted to cool things down before the CMT Awards in Nashville in April … and Nicole was just gutted.” They separated at that point — with Keith staying in Nashville and Nicole going off to The Hamptons to shoot a new movie.

A grim-faced Nicole, 38, has been spotted in East Hampton, New York, without the spectacular 3.5 carat ring that Keith, also 38, is said to have given her for the unofficial engagement last November.

This doesn’t seem true to us for a few reasons. First of all, Nicole may not have been wearing her engagement ring while she was in the Hamptons, but she was seen with a plain gold band that looked suspiciously like a wedding ring.

From what we heard, Nicole was planning a summer wedding in Australia, not a fall wedding in Tahiti. The Sun reports today that Nicole has set the date for June 25th, beating Tom and Katie’s expected 4th of July wedding.

Urban may have wanted some time away, but it sounds like a temporary thing, and the “insider” may have been reporting old news. They made a reference to the CMT awards, which were on April 10th, nearly a month ago. Keith spoke of Nicole specifically at the CMT awards, in what was viewed as his first public admission of their relationship. Plus, Nicole could be pregnant and has been seen with what may be a growing baby bump.

Hopefully Nicole and Keith will get married soon and put all these silly rumors behind them.

K-Fed told Britney not to come to his show


We were right that K-Fed’s jealousy of Britney’s fame is what kept her from his concert. Kevin is said to have told Britney over dinner to stay away from his show at Pure nightclub last Friday, even though she was planning on coming and was already in Vegas to support him:

The fledgling rapper, who is desperate to kick-start his music career, is said to have ordered his pop singer spouse to stay away from the showcase, at which he played two songs from his forthcoming debut album, ‘Playing With Fire’, over fears she would “upstage” him.

The ‘Toxic’ singer - who has a son, Sean Preston, with 28-year-old Federline - is said to have been devastated after he broke the news to her on a dinner date at plush Las Vegas restaurant Nero.

One onlooker said: “It was a full-blown war of words. It was a very bad night for Britney.

“Kevin didn’t want Britney overshadowing him on the red carpet. Britney fled the restaurant and raced up to her suite alone, boycotting his performance.”

Britney was seen fleeing to her suite in tears. An earlier report had Britney jealous that Federline had invited Paris Hilton to come, (although Paris sent her parents instead) but it makes more sense that K-Fed’s jealousy is what kept her away. Earlier rumors had the couple fighting over the fact that K-Fed thought that Brtiney stole his thunder at his performances.

Kevin Federline cannot rap and would have no career if it wasn’t for his talented wife. He was said to have turned down an earlier offer from Britney to get professional production help on his album. He’s a fool for not accepting Britney’s support, and for telling her to stay away from his shows. She will hopefully come to her senses and leave him soon.

Madonna tries for a baby to save her marriage


Madonna, 47, is supposedly trying for another baby with her husband of five years, Guy Ritchie, 37. Madonna has a five year-old son with Richie and a nine year-old daughter from a different father:

Madonna is reportedly trying for a second baby with husband Guy Ritchie…
The pop diva… allegedly hopes another child will help strengthen the couple’s reportedly ailing five-year marriage.

The sexy singer… is said to have agreed to try for a baby after Guy told her he wanted their son to have a little brother or sister. A source is quoted in Daily Star newspaper as saying: “They are more in love than ever and having another baby will be their first priority.

Last month, Madonna was said to have put Ritchie on a curfew and tried to curtail his drinking. Ritchie’s father confirmed that the couple was having trouble, when he said in a statement last week that they were going through a “bumpy period” and that “the children… will keep them together.”

Guy will be going on a month-long extreme sports vacation with his friends next month and Madonna will be on tour soon, so they won’t have much more time to try.

In related news Madonna will piss off plenty of Christians in her new tour. She’s going to use a huge Swarovski-studded disco-fied crucifix as a central stage decoration.

Angelina Jolie to break up with Brad Pitt once the baby is born?


This doesn’t sound true to me, but I didn’t think that Angelina and Brad would move their family to Africa, either, so it might be more than just a rumor. Angelina Jolie is said to be thinking of getting rid of Brad Pitt once their baby is born:

Here’s the report according to the Enquirer. There has been another blow up with the couple - this time it reportedly happened when Brad found out that Jolie had been secretly corresponding with actor Colin Farrell.

“It’s basically over between Brad and Angelina,” says a friend of the couple. They can’t agree on anything - even where to have the baby.”

Once Brad confronted Angie over her e-mails with Colin - she told him that if he couldn’t trust her - perhaps they shouldn’t be together, the report details.

Brad eventually backed off - but the damage was done.

There reportedly was never even a meeting with Angie and Colin, according to the story in the weekly magazine - but still the seeds of doubt appear to be planted in Brad.

And worse - the story claims Jolie is concerned that Brad is too jealous.

While this could be true, she is also due soon and is probably more sensitive than usual. Hopefully she will change her mind once the baby arrives.

Meanwhile their over-agressive security forces are pissing off the locals and threatening people, and the new tattoo on Brad’s lower back has been revealed as a Sanskrit Buddhist blessing meant to protect his adopted son, Maddox. It is similar to the tattoo that Angelina has on her back. Will the guy ever get an identity of his own? No wonder Angelina’s tired of him.

Why Celebritiy Marriages are Doomed


Cindy Adams has the highlights of an upcoming Glamour magazine article she wrote that unveils the reasons behind most celebrity breakups. They’re typical but interesting:

  • The “X” factor. As in excess. Too much of everything. Twenty mil a movie, plus points plus a hunk of the marketing, overseas rights, video rights, DVDs, Oscar goody bags, etc.
  • Second “X” factor: sex. Too many gorgeous bodies. A preacher says, “Do you take this woman?” whereupon Brad Pitt tells Jennifer Aniston, “On second thought, I’ll take that one.”
  • On a set, they’re serviced like racing cars. At home, tough for any spouse to compete with wardrobe, makeup person, hairdresser, assistant, script girl, gopher, director.
  • Playing assassins and action heros, living, breathing and working in drama and fantasy, they need that same breakneck excitement in their personal lives.
  • The ego factor. When one’s career eclipses the other, you’re talking “Danger - TNT.”
  • Adams says that New York-based celebrity couples fare better, and cites examples like Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker, and Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins. Based on some of Parker’s recent statements, we’re not so sure.

    In “The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating” evolutionary psychologist Richard Buss outlines the reasons why people stray: men need to spread their seed and woman want a well-off man to provide for them. These are prototypical gender-based strategies that people use to increase their chances of passing on their genes to offspring.

    Jennifer Aniston had yet to bear biological children for Brad Pitt after four years of marriage so he moved on. According to anthropologists, four years is the average amount of time that a childless relationship lasts.

    When looked at from an evolutionary perspective, it’s not surprising that Hollywood marriages don’t last. There’s a lot of temptation around and not much of a stigma attached to divorce.

    Angelina and Brad’s Namibian Getaway


    We have sort of exclusive googled-derived pictures of the Namibian resort that Brad and Angelina have booked out just in case Angelina decides to give birth in Africa.

    The world’s most famous couple have holed up in the “Burning Shore Lodge” in Namibia. Angelina is said to be uncertain if she wants to give birth in Africa or France, and Brad is along for the ride. They have a jet on standby in case they choose to return for Paris in time for the birth of their first biological child.

    Reports say Angelina and Brad have booked up all “seven” rooms in the resort for three months, but there are seven rooms and five suites, so the reports are probably mistaken.

    Nestled amidst this ethereal beauty, on the edge of the largest sand dunes in the world, overlooking the mighty expanse of the Atlantic Ocean in between Swakopmund and Walvis Airport is the Burning Shore beach lodge.

    A modern, luxurious establishment, this ocean-side lodge is locatedon Long Beach just south of the unique quaint town of Swakopmund.

    It offers 7 Luxury Rooms and 5 Luxury Suites, all enjoying private bathroom facilities.

    Prices range from a modest $134 to $268 per night for two people. By our crude calculations, a three month stay in the entire hotel would cost around $240,000 USD.

    The couple have been plagued by fighting and breakup rumors, which initially seemed like heresay but have come to ring true to us.

    In Touch reports that Brad and Angelina are fighting over common issues like:

    Schooling the kids:
    Angelina has told Brad she wants to home-school her kids so they’ll be free to travel the world. “It didn’t fit with Brad’s plan at all,” says an insider and a friend, adding that he hopes Angelina will change her mind so that the new baby and adopted kids (Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 15 months) grow up in a more traditional home.

    Angelina feels trapped:
    As her due date nears, the magazine reports that friends say Angelina Jolie is starting to feel trapped in her relationship with Brad Pitt. She even insisted he go to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic to check out real estate because “she wanted her space.”

    An Illegitimate baby:
    They can’t seem to agree on anything lately,” says another confidante, adding that the pair has been arguing about everything from where baby, [sic] to whether or not to marry before the birth.

    Hopefully some time away from the paparazzi and pressures of the city will help bring their relationship back on solid ground.

    Here are our exclusively google-found pictures of the resort where Brad and Angelina are staying.

    Six more pictures after the jump.

    Kevin Federline feels lame because his wife is so much better than him


    Kevin Federline and Britney Spears are reportedly fighting because KFed feels that Britney steals all the attention at events promoting his album. Both Star Magazine and Life and Style report that Federline feels lame because he can’t get any recognition on his own. The gossip rags have a similar take on Kevin’s promotional appearance at Club X in Dallas on April 1st.

    Life and Style reports:

    But the crowd responded differently when Britney Spears arrived. “Kevin performed a few songs live from the DJ booth,” Mike Esterman, who booked the party, tells Life & Style.

    “But when Britney walked in, the crowd went crazy.”

    “It’s always about Britney — or Britney and Kevin as a couple — but these events are about Kevin,” says a K-Fed insider, who adds that Kevin arrived at the club solo to keep the spotlight on him only. (Brit arrived about half an hour later.) “I’m not even sure Kevin thought she was coming, because he was just focusing on himself.”

    And Star says:

    “Kev wanted Brit to back off some,” a club insider tells Star People.

    “He didn’t want her there to steal his thunder. He feels that whenever Britney is around, she inevitably gets all the attention. However, a source close to Britney, 24, says she’s the one who’s mad, thanks to Kevin, 28, and his oversize ego.

    “What he doesn’t seem to understand,” the source fumes, “is that the only reason anyone is interested in him is because he’s Britney Spears’ husband. He would not have an album if it weren’t for Britney.”

    While Britney’s right about being the bigger star, she has mistaken ideas about where she should focus her efforts. She seems to think her forgettable drop-in appearance on Will and Grace is the beginning of an actual acting career:

    In Touch Weekly reports that after that recent performance on “Will and Grace” Spears is hoping to become a TV star. The reviews weren’t pretty - and the weekly magazine displays [some] in their Friday edition.

    “She hasn’t stretched this much since she took on the role of impressive pop singer.”
    — Neal Justin, staff writer, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    “She has no presence, she struck awkward poses in terribly unflattering outfits and the drawl wasn’t very convincing.”
    — Matt Roush, senior TV critic, tvguide.com

    In case you doubt these negative reviews, you can watch Britney’s “acting” for yourself. She is a bigger star than her husband - but she’s a pop singer, not an actress:
