Morgan Freeman Getting Divorced

Posted @ August 9, 2008  |  No Comments  |  Categorized Under: Celebrities

Morgan Freeman is getting a divorce.
The ‘Million Dollar Baby’ actor, who was involved in a serious car accident last weekend, is involved in divorce proceedings after splitting with his wife Myrna Colley-Lee last December.

Morgan’s business partner Bill Luckett said yesterday (06.08.08): “They are involved in a divorce action. For legal and practical purposes, they have been separated since December of 2007.”

Morgan and costumer Myrna, who have been married for 24 years, have two children together.
The 71-year-old Oscar winner also has two other children from previous relationships.
The couple met when Morgan was working in an off-Broadway theatre production in 1976 and they married in 1984.

Meanwhile, Morgan is said to be in a stable condition in a Memphis hospital following his car crash on Sunday (03.08.08). ‘The Dark Knight’ actor suffered a broken arm and elbow as well as severed nerves after his car overturned twice into a ditch in rural Mississippi.

Morgan’s passenger Demaris Meyer, 48, escaped with minor injuries, but the star was said to be in a critical condition when admitted to hospital.
Morgan is now said to be making a good recovery, after doctors operated to reattach his nerves. His agent has confirmed he is walking again and Bill Luckett added that he was “in good health”.

John Edwards Admits Past Affair with Rielle Hunter; Denies Love Child is His

Posted @  |  No Comments  |  Categorized Under: News, Interesting, Celebrities

Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards has admitted having an affair with Rielle Hunter even as his wife battled cancer.

He denies fathering her daughter, as has been widely speculated.

John Edwards told ABC News that he “lied repeatedly” about the affair with “a 42-year-old woman” but said that he didn’t love her.

He has not taken a paternity test but “knows he isn’t the father” of her love child because of the timing of the affair and the birth.
Rielle Hunter’s daughter, Frances Quinn Hunter, was born February 27, 2008. The birth certificate filed in California lists no father’s name.

A former Edwards staffer, Andrew Young, claims he is the father (on a side note, Young, like Edwards, is married and has three children).

The 2004 Democratic nominee for Vice President, Edwards was a top contender for the party’s presidential nomination this year, pursuing his party’s nod even after announcing that his wife, Elizabeth, had a deadly form of cancer.

In 2006, John Edwards’ political action committee paid $114,000 in a four-month span to a newly formed firm run by Rielle Hunter.

2008 Grammys Ready For Lift Off

Posted @ February 10, 2008  |  No Comments  |  Categorized Under: News, Tv Shows, Celebrities

Early arrivals for the 50th annual Grammy Awards ceremony are currently getting underway at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. And while the arena may be best known for the basketball played there by the Los Angeles Lakers, tonight, the world’s brightest musicians will rock the stage.

This particular award ceremony always tends to bring out the biggest players in Hollywood. Regardless of whether or not a celebrity is a musician, they still want to be associated with the music industry’s top award show. One can expect the red carpet to be glittered with clothes from the hottest designers, and diamonds worth more than the average home.

Some of the artists selected to perform at the Grammy’s this year include Kanye West, John Mayer, Amy Winehouse, and BeBe Winans. Kanye is leading all nominees with a grand total of eight nominations, and is expect to clean up tonight.

At the other end of the spectrum, there’s Amy Winehouse. Still in rehab and reeling from a non-stop streak of bad publicity, Winehouse is really looking to try and make her performance tonight a sign that she still has what it takes to entertain the masses.

The award show will be broadcast in HDTV on CBS tonight from 8 – 11:30 pm (EST). To catch some of the red carpet arrivals, try tuning in around 7 o’clock to be safe.


Carrie Underwood’s Powerful Grammy Performance

Posted @  |  No Comments  |  Categorized Under: Celebrities

As if being the 50th Grammy Awards ceremony didn’t already generate enough buzz itself, having country music superstar Carrie Underwood open up with her chart topping hit “Before He Cheats” put things over the top from the beginning of the show.

Drifting slightly from her country roots, Underwood has really made an attempt to appeal to the Top 40 music audience to increase the reach of her music. Wearing skimpy little black shorts and a pair of boots is more expected from the likes of a Britney Spears or Rihanna.

Carrie Underwood’s live performance was first class, and will be remembered as one of the highlights of the evening. The directors of the Grammys went with a sure bet in Underwood to deliver a solid opening act, as they gave current rehab resident Amy Winehouse a slot later in the show after things were already going.

Last year Underwood surpassed Faith Hill, becoming the rising queen of country music. The deadly combination of her amazing voice and stunning looks has made her a household name.


Writers Strike Bombs Golden Globes

Posted @ January 6, 2008  |  No Comments  |  Categorized Under: News, Celebrities

At this year’s Golden Globe Awards, there won’t be any actors to present or accept the awards. Very odd!

The show, set to take place January 13th, will be devoid of any Screen Actors Guild members, meaning that all the nominees and most audience members will be staying home.

SAG president Alan Rosenberg told press, “After considerable outreach to Golden Globe actor nominees and their representatives over the past several weeks, there appears to be unanimous agreement that these actors will not cross Writers Guild of America picket lines to appear on the Golden Globe Awards as acceptors or presenters. We applaud our members for this remarkable show of solidarity for striking Writers Guild of America writers.”

And with that kind of a situation, it is doubtful if the Golden Globes will be worthwhile. Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced, “The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has been placed in an extremely difficult position with the ongoing Writers Guild strike. We are making every effort to work out a solution that will permit the Golden Globes to take place with the creative community present to participate. We hope to announce a resolution to this unfortunate predicament on Monday.”

As of now, NBC still plans to run the awards.

Britney Spears’ record label Zomba has sued celebrity blogger Perez Hilton for illegally posting tracks from her forthcoming album on his website. Perezhilton.com is a highly popular celebrity gossip site administrated by Perez Hilton.

The company claims that Hilton, whose real name is Mario Lavandeira — uploaded illegal postings that include at least 10 completed songs and unfinished recordings leaked over a period of three months.

The copyright infringement lawsuit was filed by Zomba, which owns the copyright to Spears’ recordings.

Zomba has confirmed Spears is not a party in the case.

It comes just a day after Lavandeira was the subject of a court summons to appear in the dock in a $20 million defamation case over claims he accused DJ Samantha Ronson of being responsible for the cocaine found in Lindsay Lohan’s car following her arrest for driving under the influence.
