Did Rihanna and Chris Make Up?


Rihanna may have forgiven Chris Brown we are hearing. People Magazine and US Magazine are both reporting the singer and her boyfriend have reconciled and are together again.

Yikes. The pictures that surfaced last week of a supposed Rihanna with bruises and cuts, not to mention one badly swollen nose had many people shocked that the singer's alleged beating by Chris Brown had been so devastating.

According to People's source, the two are staying at a home owned by Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The magazine's latest issue reports that Brown called Rihanna on her 21st birthday one week ago. "He called to wish her happy birthday," a source told the magazine. "They've reached out to each other. It's been mutual."

Not surprising, Chris Brown is reported to be pleased with the reconciliation-- People's source reports:

"While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

And Us Magazine is confirming tonight also that Rihanna and boyfriend Chris Brown are indeed together again, after only less than three weeks after the alleged beating incident. And a friend of Rihanna reportedly told the magazine that the singer is not listening to anyone.

And US Magazine reports that Brown has been seen smiling, riding a jet ski, and flexing his arm muscles, and that Rihanna arrived four days ago.

Yea--flex those muscles Chris.

Brothers and Sisters...Rumors, Spoilers and Speculations


The oh so handsome Rob Lowe from ABC's hit show, Brothers and Sisters, visited the ladies on The View Friday and gave up little but his gorgeous smiles.

Despite being questioned by The View hosts, Lowe did not spoil much about the upcoming two hour Brothers and Sisters episode that has fans buzzing. There are spoilers that say a cast member will be killed, and that it could be Rob Lowe himself.

Other rumors about the Brothers and Sisters cast say that Balthazar Getty, who plays Tommy Walker, will be leaving the show and may be the character killed in Sunday's 2 hour episode.

Also being rumored is the possibility that Lowe's character will "die" but then revived by doctors in the second hour of the show Sunday night.

According to Rob Lowe on the set of The View Friday, Brothers and Sisters will be taking some dramatic turns starting with this Sunday's episode. Characters will be making different decisions and taking different paths after events that occur on the show Sunday night.

Lowe alluded to the fact that there may be some soul searching going on in the Walker clan as the realization that nothing is for certain hits home.

Rumors and speculations....guess we will have to wait until Sunday night to see what really happens. And to see Rob Lowe's smiles. We will be watching..will you?

Winner Of Top Chef is Hosea Rosenberg


Hosea won the title of Top Chef and beat the um, overly-confident shall we say, Stefan!

We have to admit right up front that Hosea was one of our favorites, as was Carla. Not to say we didn't like Stefan.....just not such a favorite as his attitude wore a bit thin at times.

The Top Chef finale saw Carla, Stefan and Hosea each cooking a three course meal with host Tom Colicchio tossing in a surprise appetizer course as well for the finalists to prepare.

Apparently Hosea's decision to skip a dessert course and instead serve venison as the last plate is what ultimately gave the colorado based chef the winning nod from all the judges. (Hmmm.... we would always prefer a dessert, but ok...)

And Hosea's Top Chef win was heightened by the fact that he competed in the finals against his nemesis, Stefan.

It felt amazing to win,” Hosea said. “But to have it come down neck in neck with Stefan just made it all that sweeter. That was the icing on the cake.”

And as for Stefan, we thought he would be a tad upset, and maybe he was but hid it well by simply stating:

They expected more from me. Would I have loved the title? Absolutely. But I don’t turn around and look back. … I’m a happy dude.”

Happy First Birthday Max and Emme!


Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are now the proud parents of one year old twins! The couples twins, Max and Emme, turn one on Sunday, but celebrated a day early with a fairly mellow birthday party by Hollywood standards.

The twins birthday party was held at the Bel Air home of Lopez and Anthony. Guests seen arriving with presents, balloons and stuffed animals included Nicole Richie and Joel Madden with their adorable one year old daughter Harlow.

Complete with silver balloons, two moon bouncers, and a clown, the backyard birthday party seemed as tame as any other children's party.

A Birthday cake from Rosebud Cakes and non-alcoholic slush type drinks from The Margarita Man were served, and of course the traditional singing of "Happy Birthday" to Emme and Max completed the celebration.

Happy Birthday Emme and Max!

Oscar Buzz On Host Hugh Jackman's Infamous Shower Scene


Who, raise your hands please, did not enjoy Hugh Jackman's shower scene in "Australia?" By a show of hands, how many of you are hoping, praying, fantasizing, and perhaps trying to mentally persuade Jackman to re-enact that shower scene when the "sexiest man alive" hosts the Academy Awards Sunday?

OK--hands down.

No promises of course, but it seems possible WE MAY GET OUR WISH!

In an interview with People Magazine, Elizabeth Leonard asks Hugh Jackman what we really want to know.... will he do the shower scene???

Is it a tease when Jackman answers Elizabeth, or.... (but fingers unashamedly crossed here at DG) could Jackman's answer really be a promise of what could be our highlight of the Oscars?

"What do you say to those who want you to re-enact your shower scene from Australia onstage?"-- (Elizabeth's Most Insightful Question--Thank-You Elizabeth!)
"It's definitely a possibility. I don't think people understand how hot it gets up there. So I might as well. It's going to be 3 hours, at least, so I want to be comfortable!"

So there we have it.

Oh yeah. There are some other things discussed in the interview, like who is Jackman's favorite Oscar host, how did he feel when he got the call to host the 81st Academy Awards Show, what Jackman's kids think about everything Oscar, and stuff like that if you want to read more. But really, come on...isn't it all about that shower scene??

All Together now...."shower...shower...shower...."

Will Gary Condit Get an Apology?


Remember Gary Condit? The congress man found himself as the police's number one prime suspect in the murder of Chandra Levy eight years ago. When the missing college intern's body was found, all fingers (police fingers and others) pointed to Gary Condit. The reasoning? Condit had been carrying on a secret affair with Levy. Lovers quarrel gone bad? Trying to cover up an illicit affair? Whatever his primary motive, Condit was looked upon as the one and only suspect back then.

But today, 8 years later, some apologies may be forth coming. Or maybe not. We wonder how Condit feels today after hearing the news that we all are hearing now: new evidence, new suspect. An arrest possibly in the works.

Chandra Levy was just 24 when she disappeared in May 2001. She was wearing jogging clothes when she left her apartment, and her remains were found in Washington's Rock Creek Park about a year later.

When a married Gary Condit admitted to an affair with the oung intern, the end of his political career was heard everywhere. Never convicted in court, but publicly viewed as a primary suspect in Levy's murder, Condit lost his re-election bid in 2002.

After Condit sued some media outlets after his defeat for connecting him to the Levy murder case. Reportedly he reached an undisclosed settlement with three tabloid papers.

The New York Times reported that the man likely to be arrested is a federal prisoner convicted of attacks on two other women in the same park. According to two Washington law enforcement officials, Ingmar Guandique, 27, an immigrant from El Salvador, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2002, will be charged within the next several days.

Surprisingly enough, it has been reported by the Washington Times that Guandique had been questioned by police before Levy's remains were discovered. Apparently Guandique passed a polygraph test, and was never charged.

Rihanna's Picture on TMZ


TMZ has reportedly obtained and published on their website a picture that is alleged to be Rihanna. The photo shows Rihanna, supposedly, after her alleged physical attack by Chris Brown.

In the picture, Rihanna appears to have bruises and cus and possibly a black eye. TMZ posted the picture Thursday evening.

The posting of Rihanna's picture on TMZ has upset the Los Angeles Police Dept. Alot. An internal investigation was started within hours of the picture being published. The Los Angeles Police Department has asked for the public's help in finding the person who leaked it.

A police news release said the image "has the appearance" of one taken during a domestic violence investigation. The police have classified the release of the alleged picture of a beaten up Rihanna "as a case of serious misconduct that could result in termination".

Rihanna and her family have not released a public statement since the photo appeared on the TMZ website.

Friday is Rihanna's 21st birthday. The TMZ picture of Rihanna can be seen here, and no doubt will be very controversial.

Oprah Interview With The Octuplets' Gradfather


As previously reported, the father of Octo Mom, Nadya Suleman, will be on Oprah next week. The interview has been taped, and the grandfather of the 8 babies shared his thoughts and feelings about his 8 new grandchildren, and his daughter.

Ed Doud reportedly told Oprah that he believes the actions of his daughter and the fertility specialist were "absolutely irresponsible."

The octuplets grandfather went on to add that "I'm no psychiatrist, but I question her mental situation."

When referring to Nadya Suleman's website (now shut down due to alleged death threats received), Suleman's dad appealed to people,

"You know what? She needs help. I say to everybody now -- people -- we do need help. "Do not punish my daughter for what she had done and do not punish the babies, because they were given by God," he continues.

We can only imagine how difficult this situation must be for this dad. To be thrown into the nation's spotlight for being someone's father must be challenging. Having the courage to be on Oprah and speak candidly about his daughter and the situation their family is now in, is admirable. While everyone undoubtedly has their opinions regarding the mom of the octuplets, and her doctor, it is important to hear what her closest family members feel as well.

Ed Doud shared what his greatest hopes are for all his grandchildren and their mom with Winfrey, saying:

"[To] stay healthy and have my grandchildren - all of them to be healthy - and the mother to finish her schooling and start working, and we all could support this family."

The interview is due to be shown on Oprah in the United States on Tuesday.

Reveals and Shockers From The Bachelor


So Jason is speaking out on his blog about the final three women, and how he was feeling at the last elimination.

One of the women turned out to be Jason's "ultimate friend", but not a finalist in the battle for his heart (and ring!).

"It was so tough sending Jill home; she had become my ultimate friend on this journey, and I know we will remain friends for years to come."

Jason reveals, on his final blog entry, his true feelings about the last episode of The Bachelor, and the three women vying for the the two final roses.

Speaking out about the "lusty" hot tub scenes we all witnessed between Jason and Jill, the single dad bachelor says,

"...the hot tub with Jillian got pretty hot, and that passion was exactly what I needed to feel with her. We knew we had built such a great friendship, but needed to see if there was something more; and obviously there was."

Yes.. I think everyone who watched that scene can agree there was 'obviously something more'!

But despite that steamy hot tub scene, Jill went home broken-hearted. In his blog entry, Jason explains why he decided to send his "ultimate friend" in the house home....

"Though there was passion in our relationship (as you all saw!), it just wasn’t the same passion I had with Melissa or Molly."

Jason ends his final blog entry with a shout out to the winner of his heart--

"Happy (belated) Valentines day to the new lady in my life!"

now..... for one last (Major) "The Bachelor" rumor/spoiler heating up the airwaves this week........


Raise your hand if you think the ring and proposal goes to Melissa.
Raise your hand if you think Jason proposes to Molly.

Bachelor Spoilers Say....... both answers are right!!! Can we all say, "OOPS--I changed my mind!" Some heavy duty rumors say that Jason can, and does! We are hearing very strong rumblings that Melissa gets the ring on the finale (pretty much expected/known) but at the First After The Rose Special, Jason changes his mind and Molly will get to step into the 'winner's circle (lucky gal) at the second (?) After The Rose Special.

Ok--that's it for now. Please remember these are not official spoilers/facts. ABC has not confirmed these speculations/rumors from The Bachelor Show. But no doubt we will be seeing big ratings numbers tuning in for the Bachelor Finale and the After The Rose Special(s)!




Heath Ledger's Family In Town For Oscars


The family of Heath Ledger has arrived in Hollywood in time to attend the Oscars Sunday night.

Ledger has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his role as The Joker in The Dark Night. If the late actor should win, the statuette would go to his 3 year old daughter, Matilda, when she turns 18. Until then, the care of the Oscar would be under Matilda's mom, Michelle Williams.

Heath Ledger's father, Kim, told TMZ reporters,

"I'm extremely proud," he said, but cautioned: "You can't expect to win something like this. [The Academy] could just as easily turn left, as [it] could go right."

If the Oscar does go to Ledger, Kim added,

"I may say a few words."

Heath Ledger would be only the second actor to receive an Oscar after death, following Peter Finch who won in 1976 for Network.

Octo Mom's Father To Be on Oprah


The Octo Mom, Nadya Suleman, may not be getting her own reality television show, but her dad, the octoplets' grandfather is going to be on Oprah .

"I can confirm that we are taping an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show with Ed Suleman," a Harpo rep has reportedly told Usmagazine.com. "It is slated to air next Tuesday, February 24."

The parents of Nayda Suleman are divorced, but Ed Suleman has still helped care for his six grandchildren in the family's three-bedroom, one-bath bungalow in Whittier, Calif.

Also we are hearing tonight that Angela Suleman, the Octo Mom's mother, is in default on her home mortgage and may lose her home to foreclosure.

Can you even imagine the questions Oprah must be preparing for Ed Suleman?

Proud Dad Tiger Woods Shows Off New Baby Son


Tiger Woods looks like one proud daddy as he cuddles his newborn son, Charlie Axel Woods. Woods put the pictures of 10 day old Charlie on his website, golf.com, introducing the new family addition to the world.

There are five pictures of the family kissing and cuddling with baby Charlie. Adorable pictures, especially with big sister Sam kissing her new baby brother so tenderly.

Beloved Pet Dog of Actor Mickey Rourke Has Died



Remember actor Mickey Rourke's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes last month? In that emotional speech, Rourke thanked his dogs for always being there for him.

"I'd like to thank all my dogs, the ones who are here and the ones who aren't here anymore," "The Wrestler" star said. "Sometimes, when a man is alone, that's all you got is your dog. And they've meant the world to me."

There is no doubt that the actor loves his dogs. And so we know Mickey Rourke must be full of sadness today in losing his beloved pet Chihuahua, Loki.

Little Loki lived a charmed life, no doubt, and was 18 years old when she died on Tuesday. According to reports, Rourke called Loki the "love of his life" at the Venice Film Festial last September.

And in an interview with Barbara Walters, to be shown on Sunday before the Academy Awards Show, the Oscar nominee told Walters,

"I sort of self-destructed and everything came out about fourteen years ago or so...the wife had left, the career was over, the money was not an ounce," he said. "The dogs were there when no one else was there."

It is like losing a member of the family for Mickey Rourke, as losing a pet is for so many people. As thrilling as it must be for "The Wrestler" star to be nominated for Best Actor, it has become a bittersweet time as well for the actor.

PETA also shares in sympathy with Rourke, and told Access Hollywood --

"We sent a message to Mickey with our condolences last night and are sending him flowers today," "Loki meant the world to Mickey and pulled him through some tough times. If only every dog were loved as much as Loki."

Our condolences go out as well to Mickey Rourke.

TLC Says There Will Be No Octo-Mom Show


TLC president, Eileen O'Neill, has said that there will not be a reality based television show for Octo Mom , Nadya Suleman.

Rumors about Suleman and a possible TV show on the TLC channel had filtered through the Internet recently, but Tuesday O'Neill told US Magazine there will not be a show after all.

"TLC is not pursuing any program at this time with Nadya Suleman," O'Neill told Us in a statement. "We wish the family well."

And it seems that Suleman's Web site, where she had also been soliciting donations has been shut down since the Octo Mom had been getting death threats online.

Heath Ledger's Daughter Matilda May Take Home Dad's Oscar


There is a possible posthumous Oscar coming to the late actor Heath Ledger this Sunday at the Academy Awards. And if the Oscar does indeed go Heath, for his supporting performance as the Joker in Dark Knight, Ledger's daughter Matilda will take the statuette home.

Normally a posthumous statuette goes to the spouse, but because Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams were never married, it would go to the oldest child.

So that means adorable little Matilda would take home her father's award, but her mom -Michelle Williams- would be the legal custodian of the Oscar for the next 15 years, until Matilda turns 18. That is because all nominees are required to sign a contract that states they will not sell the Oscar statuette without first offering it back to the academy. 3 year old Matilda will need to be 18 in order to sign that contract.

But who would actually accept the award on Ledger's behalf at the Academy Awards Sunday night, should the late actor win?

The academy is keeping that an Oscar night secret. Traditionally, such an Oscar acceptance would be by a close relative or an artist who was close to the nominee and can speak to the actor's talents. Ledger's Screen Actors Guild award last month was accepted by co-star Gary Oldman.

Stylish Justin Timberlake Tops GQ List


Those suits and tennis shoes have paid off for Justin Timbelake. GQ Magazine has just named the singer the Most Stylish Man in America.

Wonder how Timberlake's girlfriend, actress Jessica Biel, is feeling about her man now?

Timberlake says he wears a suit with sneakers, for practicality more than design.

"I just put sneakers on because I couldn't dance in the shoes I had. I couldn't leap with just insoles and dress shoes. I would've hurt myself."


The naming of Most Stylish Man is perfect timing for Justin, as he and pal Trace Ayala have
their clothing line, William Rast on the runway at this week's New York Fashion Show.

And who does the "Most Stylish Man in America" credit for his fashion flair? His stepfather. In the March issue of GQ, Timberlake says that his stepfather, Paul Harless, a banker. would put out his suit for the next morning every night and went to work looking
"like Richard Gere in (American) Gigolo."

Also on the list of most stylish are rappers Kanye West and T.I., actor Jason Schwartzman, producer Mark Ronson (who came in second), and and photographer Alex Lubomirski, who was third.

Timberlake first became well-known as a singer with the boy band 'N Sync and went solo in 2002.

The Bachelor Rumors, Spoilers and Speculations


Two Roses were handed out last night on The Bachelor. And the hands that gratefully accepted Bachelor Jason's last two roses on Monday night's show?

The first to receive a rose and escape the misery of suspense was Melissa , of course. Now really, can we just momentarily pause from our recap here to ask for a show of hands--who does NOT think Melissa will be the " last one standing" at the Final Rose Ceremony in two weeks?? Yep. No hands. What we suspected. Jason has it kind of bad for the 25 year old "bubbly-semi-dependent cute- giggly -cheerleader- swooning-daughter of camera-shy parents" Melissa. Don't you agree?

Moving on. There was another rose that needed (per show rules don't you know?!) that had to be handed out. Now if you follow the message boards and rumors that buzz the Internet waves regarding The Bachelor, you no doubt know that Jill was favored over Molly. By a good margin. So to many viewers last night, apparently the rejection of Jill in favor of Molly came as a 'shock.' Not so much to us here at DG--the connection never seemed that strong in our collective eyes. Maybe glassses would have helped.

Now--in all fairness, it must be noted that glasses WERE NOT NEEDED for the steamy, can we say, "Very Adultish" filming of the hot tub scene between Jason and Jill last night? Wow. we wonder how the family of Jill felt as they watched their daughter "enjoy" her fantasy date with the irresistible (apparently) Jason? And we wonder how many cold showers were taken after that steamy scene was shown??

But the make out session (complete with grabbing, groping and grasping) did not change Jason's heart (personally, that session alone should have brought a proposal...??), and the broken-hearted Jill went home.

Now....we must address the tantalizing preview host Chris Harrison handed out to viewers with a very somber face. We were shown clips from the Final Rose Ceremony episode. We saw clips of Jason and the two "Wannabe Mrs. Jasons" playing with Ty (who did not look too thrilled to meet Daddy's friends, btw), and meeting Jason's family. Fine.

We watched the suspicious clips that ABC is hoping will set Internet boards on fire-- of DeAnna showing up. The burning question that is supposed to burden our brains for the next two weeks is of course, WHY does DeAnna show up?? We are shown an apparently emotion-filled Jason run to a balcony crying and it is obvious that viewers are supposed to conclude that DeAnna has caused this bachelor breakdown. Ok. Except that Jason is wearing different clothes when he is shown breaking down than he is when he meets with DeAnna. Uhuh.

Now, please note that this is just DG's opinion, as we do not have ant factual knowledge of what will happen, but our guess is that the DeAnna arrival is simply a ploy--she will only counsel the stressed out Jason before he presents his final rose. What is he stressed out about, you ask? Again, our speculation, but DG believes the poor guy desperately wants to propose to Melissa, but having not met her parents, is beside himself with angst. Just our thoughts here.

The emotional breakdown at the balcony rail? We surmise (aren't we smart?) that Jason has just told Molly "goodbye and good luck"-- before the actual Final Rose Ceremony itself. He has realized he needs to meet, somehow, Melissa's heretofore camera-shy parents before he can propose. Like we said--pure guessing here.

But the twist on the mysterious tidbits Chris tossed out last night was the brief statement Chris made at the very end of all the clips. He commends Jason for doing SOMETHING that was hard and courageous, and warns viewers that some of the taping of that show was so emotional and difficult, they kept the taping of that part of the show private. What the Heck???

Yes--that should keep the buzz alive and well the next two weeks! DG can share some of the rumors now swirling about the Internet. And we are sure there will be more rumors to come. Keep in mind, these are Rumors only, and fan speculations and guesses.

1. The private taping will refer to Jason meeting Melissa's parents who will still refuse to appear on camera.

2. Jason will let down both Melissa and Molly and will propose to Jill after all.

3. Jason will take DeAnna back (naw...for the record, DG says thumbs down to this guess)

4. Fairly strong rumor says that Jason does propose to Melissa, who does accept, but later will break Jason's heart and the engagement, and viewers will learn of this in the show.

5. Now, somewhat crazy rumor, but you just never know..... Jason will learn that one of the ladies (Molly??) is pregnant! And will do the right thing and marry her. Hmm.

So in conclusion, we will leave Bachelor Rumor-ville with these words from Mike Fleiss, creator and producer of “The Bachelor,” who promises that the Bachelor finale will leave fans hyperventilating:

It’s insane, honestly,” he said. “It’s Chayefsky-esque,” he added, referring to the screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky. “The last hour is pure ‘Network.’ ”

Ok--that is it for now. Long post and much speculation. But DG would love to hear your thoughts, and any rumors you may have heard? Yes, we are addicted, sadly, to The Bachelor.
So please share and let's gossip some more !

Jennifer Lopez Divorce Rumors Don't Fly on Valentine's Day


Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony looked like a happy couple on Valentine's Day. Rumors had been churning that a Lopez-Anthony divorce was in the works, with Marc's concert on Valentine's Day slated to be the stage for announcing their split.

But look at that picture! Instead of any divorce announcements, the couple's adorable twins, Emme Maribel and Maximilian ‘Max’ David, joined their happy mama and papa on stage. And the family looks pretty happy in our opinion.

Emme and Max will celebrate their first birthday next Sunday.

Project Runway On Shaky Ground as Bryant Park Show Nears


So what is the status of the popular reality-based show, "Project Runway?" Last we heard, the future of the television show -where fashion designers compete against each other- was uncertain as Lifetime and Bravo continued their court battle over rights to the show.

But the show must go on. Hosts Tim Gunn & Heidi Klum both say that the show will carry on as usual during this New York Fashion Week with the highly anticipated Bryant Park show scheduled for this coming Friday morning.

But there will be a catch. Since no one knows when or where Project Runway will return to our television screens, no one can know which designers from the filmed season actually made it to the Bryant Park show. The winning designers will still have their collections presented during New York Fashion Week, but the designers themselves will have to remain anonymous.

Remember how the Bryant Park episode would usually go down--the designers beyond excited, proud and nervous? Family, friends and fans filling the seats and cheering their favorites on? The applause? The smiling waves and hugs? The designers proudly walking the runway after their collections were shown? None of that this year. Secrecy and anonymity will shroud this week's filming of Bryant Park Showing.

As Heidi Klum puts it, "...it's a little sad."

So for now, fans of "Project Runway" will have to wait and hope to see Tim Gunn admonishing his latest group of contenders soon. Very soon.

Which Idol Is Anti-Valentine's Day??


Carrie Underwood. But it's not so much that she is against Valentine's Day --it is more the "Day" part that bothers the Idol famed country singer.

"I don't believe – and this goes for anybody – your man shouldn't love you for one day out of 365. He should love you 365 days out of the year. I want Valentine's Day every day."

Underwood, along with many former American Idol contestants, was on hand for the grand opening of the American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando on Thursday (which opens to the public on Valentine's Day).

The attraction allows Disney World guests to perform on an Idol-like stage while audience members vote for their favorite. And the winner lands a fast pass to the front of the line at a future Idol audition. How fun does that sound?

David Cook, David Archuleta, Kelly Clarkson, Fantasia Barrino and past fan favorites Sanjaya Malakar, Bo Bice, Brooke White and Jason Castro, also showed up making the day one of the biggest Idol reunions ever.

And for Carrie Underwood, her love right now belongs to a little cutie named 'Ace'--the country singer's rat terrier.
