Marc Anthony, in case you weren’t sure, is that guy who’s married to Jennifer Lopez. Here’s what he has to say about their relationship.

“She’s always been the boss! I don’t know what’s changed,” Anthony, 38, told PEOPLE at Tuesday’s Los Angeles premiere of the couple’s movie El Cantante, which Lopez, also 38, also produced.

“That’s the first thing a man has to know,” he says. “Absolutely, no question about it.”

Although, J.Lo does make some concessions to Marc.

“I think we’ll travel in the same bus, but we’ll get ready in separate buses,” said Anthony, before his wife quickly interjected: “Only because I have hair and makeup and all kinds of people. And then when he starts getting ready, he takes hours.” The pair laughed.

“I nap up to 15 minutes before I go onstage,” Anthony admitted. Fortunately, his wife plays by his rules: “So I can’t make noise when I’m getting ready,” Lopez explained.

People

No reviews of the movie are out yet, but can it really be worse the Gigli? Some ar saying that it’s good, but generally when they’re interviewing her, and would you really be rude enough to say it stinks right to her face?

Personally, I just want J.Lo to come back with some music. She was such a fabulous diva! Remember this?

Here are Marc Anthony and J.Lo at the premiere of El Cantante in LA in Tuesday. Thanks to PRPhotos.

Ashley Tisdale turned 22 yesterday – and had a party. An alcohol-free party.

The actress — best known for her roles in Disney’s “High School Musical” and “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” — kept her birthday bash rated PG, with no booze! Tisdale and her 20-something friends partied at The Beachbody House, hosted by Silver Spoon, where perks of the all-girl fiesta included free mani/pedis, kayak rides and a bar … with selections from Coffee Bean! The only alcohol was used for removing henna tattoos!

TMZ

Could this be Paris/Britney/Lindsay backlash? Where suddenly it’s going to be cool to be seen carrying around a water bottle again?

Actually, this party sounds like a ton of fun. Maybe Ashley saves her hard nights of drinking for regular days of the year, and does something different on her birthday? Or maybe the whole day at the beach was to get a manicure, pedicure, tan and henna tattoos all ready for the real party later that night? I’m onto you Ashley Tisdale.

The first Pictures of Peter Andre and Jordan’s (whoops, I mean Katie Price) baby girl are out. And she doesn’t really look like either of them.

Jordan said: “She looks really different from both the other kids - she’s got fair, gingery hair and really blue eyes.

“The health visitor said she would put money on them not changing colour. It’s weird, she must be a throwback from my side because my real dad has blue eyes and I don’t know where the ginger comes from. Pete gets a bit of ginge in his beard.”

Andre joked: “Actually we had a ginger gardener.”

But the reality TV star, real name Katie Price, claims Tiaamii’s hair won’t effect her love, adding: “I don’t mind, I love her anyway, even if she’s a ginge!”

Actually, I think when people are horrible about people with red hair, that’s as bad as being racist.”

RTE

I’m not saying anything about Katie’s comment about racism. Except that she must have been having a blonde moment. Tee hee!! Sorry Katie.

In these pictures, did Katie have to take her clothes off? And if you are going to go the skin-to-skin bonding pictures with your baby, shouldn’t the child be nude too?

Anyway, all babies are cute, and this one is no exception. And as soon as I work out how to pornounce it’s name, I’ll stop calling it ‘it’.

Picture note by Celebitchy: Thanks to DListed and Seriously? OMG! WTF? for these pics. Note that the baby is using one of those rhinestone-encrusted pacifiers - the ones that were recently recalled for being a severe choking hazard and using crystals that contain a lot of lead.

Reese Witherspoon is going to be the new global face of Avon. She is, according to their press release, going to be the brands first ever ‘Global Ambassador’.

“Our partnership with Reese represents a breakthrough moment for our company — and comes just months after the launch of our successful Hello Tomorrow campaign, which signaled a true evolution for the Avon brand,” said Geralyn Breig, Senior Vice President and Global Brand resident, Avon Products, Inc. “This is the first time we have had celebrity representation on all three dimensions of our business — our philanthropic initiatives, our brand, and the Avon Representative — and we are incredibly excited to have someone of Reese’s talent and stature add her voice to Avon’s message to help bring it to the world.”

The Avon Foundation and Ms. Witherspoon will partner in raising awareness for the Foundation’s programs in the areas of breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief. The Avon Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity founded in 1955 with the mission of championing the health and well being of women globally through its philanthropic efforts.

“I am very excited to be partnering with Avon. Avon is more than an iconic world class beauty leader — it is a company that is known the world over as a crusader for women’s causes,” said Ms. Witherspoon. “I am truly impressed by how Avon has been able to effect real change in the
communities in which it does business, and by how committed the company is to providing economic and personal fulfillment to women all over the world. I feel a great responsibility in my own life to give back to society. Now, as the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, I am proud to be joining in the great philanthropic work that is already underway.”

PR Newswire

Oh, she is so perfect to be an Avon Lady. I never really believed glamourpuss Salma Hayek used Avon products – even though there’s nothing wrong with them at all – but I could definitely see Reese Witherspoon using them. She’s such a mum. I wish she was my mum – I’d borrow her clothes!

Reese is also reportedly seeing Jake Gyllenhaal again/still, and has signed onto star in a movie with Vince Vaughan. It’s titled ‘Four Christmases’ and is a comedy about a couple trying to visit their four sets of divorced parents at Christmas. Obviously for the characters in the film, they weren’t interested in my solution to that problem – moving overseas away from the divorcees! Then again, that scenario is hardly open to hilarious incidents in a movie format.

The latest issue of Star screams on the cover that Brad wants Angie to go to rehab, but it’s not rehab for a half-assed rumor that a drug addiction could be behind her shockingly-thing frame, it’s rehab for an eating disorder. Angelina is now supposedly 98 pounds, and at a 5′7″ that’s severely underweight.

As usual, I doubt they have any insider information and are probably making up shit based on things she’s said in the past along with photos of how frail she looks. Given how general their statements from a “friend” are, it suggests this article is made up almost entirely:

“Brad seems worried sick about Angie, and he doesn’t know what else he can do,” a friend of the couple tells Star. “At this point, I think getting professional help might be the wisest way to go. He didn’t want it to come to this, but gong to a rehab center for eating disorders may be the best thing for Angelina.” Insiders say that Angie is taking steps to help her gain weight, but they don’t seem to be working. “She also has a history with depression, and things got a lot worse after the death of her mother,” says a source.

[From Star Magazine via I’m Not Obsessed]

Meanwhile Life & Style has an article in this week’s issue that sounds more plausible because it has actual details of a supposed incident in it. It’s probably fake too, but it says that Angelina and Brad were arguing because he supports Barack Obama and she’s rooting for John Edwards for the presidency. It supposedly ended with Angelina throwing a glass of wine in Brad’s face:

The magazine will report in this week’s issue that things got so heated that Angie empties that glass in Brad’s face an insider tells the weekly entertainment magazine. “They got into a huge fight about politics,” says an insider close to the Pitt family. (Brad, explains another insider, supports Barack Obama, while Angie’s a John Edwards fan.) “Brad ended up calling her immature. He says the next thing he knew, Angie was cursing at him and throwing a glass of wine in his face.”

[From The National Ledger, details from Life & Style]

I would like to see Edwards be the next president too, but I can’t see Angelina preferring him so much to Obama that she’d get pissed off like that. There is the issue of who is more likely to get elected, and that debate can get heated. Some people believe we should support the candidate who can win and other people defend the notion that it’s best to support the person who will do the best job. I remember reading somewhere that Democratic candidates have a much better chance at the presidency if they’re southern. Either one of them would make an excellent president, in my opinion.

There was a lot of uproar earlier in the week over here in Europe about a story that they were thinking of moving to Berlin. I’m not sure if it was true or not, and their rep has denied it, but they do own a place in east Berlin and may have purchased land on a peninsula/island on the edge of Berlin.

A lot of you guys have extreme hatred for these two. To me they’re just a pair of rich famous people and I don’t really have strong feelings for them either way. Putting their supposed problems on the cover of a gossip rag is a surefire way to sell copies, since so many people want to see them fail miserably at something. Angelina looks like she’s losing a battle with her weight and her health, but whether Brad wants her to go to rehab or she cares enough about John Edwards to get all up in his face like that is up to question.

Melanie Brown and her lawyer, the (in)famous Gloria Allred, announced that Brown has filed a paternity suit against Eddie Murphy. Apparently Eddie hasn’t stepped up to the plate yet. Shocking. In her statement, Brown said that she wanted her daughter, 4-month-old Angel Iris Murphy Brown, to know that she was planned and wanted by both of her parents. Somehow I doubt that’s entirely true, but it’s nice to do what you can to get the kid to believe it. Brown told reporters:

“‘I am here for one reason and one reason only – her name is Angel. Angel is my baby and Eddie’s. She will always know that she was planned and wanted by both of us, but I want her to know that she has two parents who desire to be responsible for her during her life and who love her so much that they want to be a part of it.’”

[From the Associated Press]

Gloria Allred was a little tougher than Brown… but that’s what she’s paid for. She told reporters that Murphy “’has not paid one penny of child support’ for the former couple’s daughter, said she plans to ask the court to award child support and ‘to decide what is reasonable.’” Allred also mentioned that although they have proved through DNA that Murphy is Angel’s father, he has yet to acknowledge her legally. “’We’ve had communication with his attorney, and now we’re moving forward,’” she said, adding that the papers are sealed because they concern a child.” She got a few good jabs at Murphy in her speech.

“’Murphy was promising to do the right thing, but to date he has not done the right thing,’ said Allred. ‘Mr. Murphy can have all the babies he chooses to have, but his responsibility needs to be to his own children. [Brown] is seeking sole physical and legal custody.’”

“Still, Allred said Brown would be happy to arrange for Murphy to see his daughter regularly ‘like millions of parents do.’”

“’He bought a big diamond ring for his new fianceé,’ added Allred, referring to Murphy’s recent engagement to girlfriend Tracey Edmonds. ‘It is nice to be generous to others, but what about his own baby?’”

[From People]

Eddie Murphy, you got served! Literally this time. I like Gloria Allred. She’s so tough with just a tiny hint of crazy. Unlike Nancy Grace who is crazy with a tiny hint of tough. I also love anyone who wears clothes to coordinate with their last name. Really though, how hard is it for Eddie Murphy to step up and support his child? There’s so much bitterness here that it’s doubtful he’ll ever be in his daughter’s life, but at least take some responsibility for your actions. Poor Angel Iris Murphy Brown. Not only does she have two kinda wacky parents, but her last name is Murphy Brown. I really hope kids today won’t get the reference.

Jessica Biel ran into her ex boyfriend at a friend’s wedding recently and she hung out with him all night. People say they were holding hands, kissing, and looking cosy. The two even left the party together for destinations unknown. Just Timberlake was off touring in Europe at the time.

While Justin was busy playing concerts in Europe, Jessica, 25 and Chris [Evans, who she dated for five years until last summer]… rekindled some old flames of attraction.

“Sparks were flying,” says an eyewitness who saw the two at a friend’s wedding reception held at Arnoldi’s Cafe in Santa Barbara, California, on Saturday, July 7. “It looked as if they were completely absorbed with one another.

“From what I could see, Jessica hardly left Chris’ side. They were holding hands and cuddling all night - even trading little kisses!

“They sat together and even walked to the bathroom together. Everyone was shocked because we thought she was dating Justin. But it didn’t look like she was thinking about him that night - she was consumed with Chris…”

“They seemed to be flirting and acting real cozy,” adds another eyewitness. “The wedding party took place outside in the bank area, and a couple of people inside the restaurant kept trying to get a peek at Jessica. They were wondering who she was with and why Justin wasn’t her date…”

A rep for Evans says they are “just friends,” but a source who saw the two says “you can tell she and Chris were close and had history together. Toward the end of the night I overheard Chris say, ‘Come on, let’s get out of here,’ and then they left together. He was really adamant - like he was really in a hurry to go and take her with him.”

[From Star Magazine print edition, August 6, 2007]

The article goes on to say that Jessica and Chris played lovers in the (B) films Cellular in 2004 and London in 2005. I bet Star’s source is someone checking out the paparazzi pictures, but if these two were holding hands that does seem suspicious.

Jessica and Justin have been seen out together a few times, and she joined him on but they haven’t yet attended a public event together. Back in mid June Justin referred to Jessica as his “very dear friend” in an interview, so maybe she figured he wouldn’t mind if she stayed very dear friends with one of her exes, too. The wedding where Jessica was reunited with her ex came after she joined Justin Timberlake in Norway while he was touring at the end of June.

They’re probably still together, though, Jessica was seen handing out with Justin’s mother, and Hollyscoop reports that she was seen leaving his house this Tuesday morning. Biel also made a reference to the fact that she’s not really into getting married right now, she was quoted by ContactMusic as saying “What’s weird is: You’re single for 20 or 30 years, and you’re married for like 70. It doesn’t seem like a good ratio, does it?”

Why is that every woman who dates Justin Timberlake feels the need to publicly declare that they’re not the marrying type? He’s such a commitment-phobe.

Header image of Biel and Evans is from the movie London, thanks to Allmoviephoto. That guy Chris Evans is also in the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer movie as Johnny Storm, and has three movies coming up next year, according to IMDB. I couldn’t figure out if he has been linked to anyone else since Biel, and to me he looks like a better catch than Timberlake, but I really dislike that guy.

Here’s Evans with Jessica Alba promoting The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Accused child pornographer/Grammy winning R&B singer R. Kelly will finally head to court September 17th to stand trial FIVE years after he was first arrested and charged. In 2002 he pleaded not guilty to 14 counts of child pornography after videotapes emerged showing him in sex acts with an underage girl. There’s a lot of confusing issues flying around this case in addition to the lack of a speedy trial. There is some controversy over exactly when the tape was made. Theoretically, the girl in the video was 13 years old. However Kelly’s people have argued that the tape is more recent than the police claim, making the victim older than thought. Though they’re also claiming that it’s not actually R. Kelly on the tapes, but rather a computer generated image of him. I don’t know a lot about that kind of technology – is that a reasonable possibility? The trial has faced various complications leading to its five year mark.

“Since Kelly’s arrest, the case has been hit with delay after delay. [Judge] Gaughan seemed close to setting a trial date last year, but then he was hospitalized after falling off a ladder and suffering multiple fractures. By the time the judge recovered, Kelly needed emergency surgery for a burst appendix, which caused him to miss a status hearing in February.

“Scheduling was further complicated by demand for Kelly’s attorney, Ed Genson. Genson, a highly sought-after attorney, represented Conrad Black in a lengthy trial that ended last month with the newspaper executive being convicted of three counts of mail fraud and one count of obstruction of justice.”

[From the Chicago Sun Times]

That’s a freakishly long and incredibly coincidental list of holdups. Since then, R. Kelly has had SIX best-selling albums, three national tours, and released a DVD set of “hip-hopera” skits. Arguments over when the video was made have delayed the trial quite a bit. I cannot believe how little an effect this has had on Kelly’s career. Shouldn’t this be the kind of thing that ends it? I know that not all criminal problems hurt all celebrities. Some rappers have more “street cred” for having been charged with murder and other hardcore crimes. But being a possible child predator and filming child pornography? How does that not ruin a career? It really disgusts me that people would keep listening to and supporting this guy.

R. Kelly is shown in concert on in April, 2006 at the Chicago Theatre. Thanks to PR Photos.

Rod Stewart’s doofus son Sean Stewart, 26, is being sued by a guy he beat up outside of the club LAX last year. Stewart stars on the A&E reality show “Sons of Hollywood.” Daniel Refoua is accusing Stewart of a whole string of crimes against him: assault, battery, false imprisonment, negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

“Refoua’s lawyer, Sean Bral, said his client was beaten up Jan. 5, 2006, by a group including Stewart after accidentally bumping into the singer’s son at Hollywood’s LAX nightclub.

“The melee followed an argument between Refoua and Stewart, who had a bodyguard with him, Bral said.

“’The next thing you know, he gets punched in the face and he’s getting punched by Stewart and his bodyguard and whoever it was who was with him,’ he said.

“Refoua, who is in his 20s, suffered a fractured nose and other injuries, Bral said. The lawsuit seeks unspecified general, special and punitive damages.

“’We invite him to come forward if they want a resolution in this, to sit down early to talk as opposed to later,” Bral said.’”

[From the Washington Post]

Stewart’s lawyer countered by saying what actually went down was “much different” from what the lawsuit states. He accuses Refoua of just going after Stewart for money. I could see that happening, as the guy has cash and is a pretty easy target. Except that, unfortunately for Sean, he has a history of beating people up, and has pending criminal charges against him in a separate case. In April he and some of his friends confronted a couple, Tobalus and Ericka Stein, in their truck and then started punching the pair while throwing bricks at them and their car. According to legal documents, “Stewart and friends began ‘swinging their arms at, punching, throwing bricks and other items’ at them and striking the bodies of plaintiffs as well as striking the [truck].’” Stewart was charged “June 11 with two felony counts of assault with a deadly weapon (the brick) and one count each of throwing substances at a vehicle and vandalism with damage in excess of $400. He was arrested one day later on a felony warrant and released on bail.” He is due back in court on that case this Monday. The Steins have also filed a lawsuit against Stewart.

From these two separate incidents, it sounds like Sean Stewart and his friends are just a pack of roving angry guys roaming L.A. waiting to beat up on unsuspecting bystanders. The guys sound like they’re jerks, but neither of these stories mentions if the victims did anything to provoke them. I’m not saying the victims could have possibly deserved to be beaten up, I’m just saying it’s weird. Either way, from now on I’m carrying a brick on me whenever I’m in Los Angeles, just in case I run into any of the Stewart family. That Kimberly could really use someone knocking her off her pedestal anyway.
