Natalie Cole has been hospitalized in NYC since last Friday. Her rep said:
“The combination of the treatment she’s been undergoing and the heavy promotional schedule for her new album took its toll. Her doctors decided they needed to put her in the hospital. They expect her to be there for a few days, then she’ll be on a month of bed rest.” She said this set back in Cole’s treatment is not considered life-threatening.”
Natalie was diagnosed with Hep C earlier this year. Her doctors think she contracted it from her heroin use many many years ago.
She’s a great talent as was her father, the famous Nat King Cole. Hope she recovers soon.
Natalie’s rep all said that all of her October appearances have been postponed.
Vanessa Hudgens was wearing a cute little black dress and shoes at the 2008 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party held on the rooftop of the L.A. County Museum of Art on Thursday.
She was Teen Vogue’s cover girl for their September 2008 issue. With the release of High School Musical 3 and her dance album “Identified” her career is really taking off.
She has said that making High School Musical was very much like high school even though she traded her real educational experience to be part of Disney’s most famous class of kids:
“It’s sad,” she says. “This is our last time doing a movie together, and we love each other so much.” “We really grew up together. We can be free when we’re around one another, and the amount of fun we have is ridiculous.”

R. Kelly sat down for his first interview since his acquittal related to child porn charges. He sat down and had a chat with BET News correspondent Toure, who asked him:
“Do you like teenage girls?”
Kelly’s first response was:
“When you say teenage, how old are we talking?”
After stunning the interviewer with that question, R. Kelly clarified:
“I have some 19-year-old friends. But I don’t like anybody illegal, if that’s what we’re talking about, underage.”
Interesting. He reminds me of former president Bill Clinton: “how do you define a ‘sexual’ relationship?”
Nicole Scherzinger has finally set the record straight about her age. She is really 30 years old not 28, as is listed on the Pussycat Dolls website. She recently celebrated her 30th birthday which makes her 7 years older than her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton.
Another member of the group Anastacia, has also admitted to being 6 years older than her stage age!
After listening to her hit song “When I Grow Up” who would think she is 30?
Lindsay Lohan wearing Alexander Wang strikes a pose at the Ugly Betty premiere party at New York City’s Highbar on Monday. She seems quite slim in this picture.
I checked out her blog yesterday morning and she had this to say about her experience shooting the TV show:
“2 days left of my shoot on Ugly Betty-I am quite sad to have to leave the wonderful cast and crew behind. It’s always sad to leave people that you get close to… It’s been such a delight to be a part of this show!!-My sister, Aliana, is visiting me on set today and I loooove having her around… she makes me smile, just like another certain someone love you baby xoxo”.
Was that a sly lil reference to SaMan?
She also ranted at vice-presidential hopeful Sarah Palin on her blog, calling her a “narrow-minded, media-obsessed homophobe.”
I had a chuckle when she called Palin media-obsessed, she’s a famewh**e herself!
As Lindsay was walking into The Bowery Hotel in NYC Sunday night — the same place J.Lo was throwing a birthday party for Marc Anthony, she tripped over a metal barricade. It seems as if Lindsay was under the impression that one of the paps tripped her because she turned around and punched a photographer in his face.
She was chatting on her cell at the time and after hitting the guy said to the person on the other end of the line:
“Oh my God, I just hit a paparazzi.”
The police came to the scene, but did not file any charges. I suppose the reason the majority of these incidents never go beyond the initial police call is probably due to the lack of any clear evidence or the incident isn’t even worth the paperwork that would have to be filed just to then have the case tossed out of the courts!
JLo competed in the Nautica Malibu Triathlon today. She actually completed the half mile swim, 18 mile bike ride and 4 mile run. Her time was 2 hours, 23 minutes and 28 seconds. Go JLo! I’m impressed since she had called in sick after she had injured her foot and was unable to make it as a final guest judge on “Project Runway.” Well she rested up and worked her booty off all in the name of raising money for charity.
Jennifer told the crowd after she crossed the finish line:
“I feel really great and so glad I finished and that I made it out of the water but more amazing than that, I feel really great that we raised $127,000 for the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and hopefully it’ll go to good use.”
Actor Matthew McConaughey also competed in the triathlon. He time was 1 hour, 30 minutes and 44.7 seconds.
Kanye’s blog on Friday had this to say about the now famous airport incident:
“We back in the lab!!! I’m cool with the paparazzi. This guy wasn’t cool. I gotta work now… I’ll rant later!”
TMZ is now reporting that he may not even be charged since it was his assistant who did the most damage. He broke two cameras totaling around $8400. California laws state that damaging property worth more than $400 is considered a felony.
Kanye only broke a camera light which is worth $100 which amounts to a misdemeanor, so his assistant will more than likely be charged with a felony.
If any of us average people pulled a similar stunt like that in an airport on 9/11, we’d be up on federal terror charges! I don’t know when it happened but Kanye and Diddy have turned into whiny a** beyotches, so much for their street cred.
Snoop Dogg’s ban has been lifted. Australia has just issued him a visa to enter and tour there in October and it’s all thanks to his friend Russell Crowe who wrote a letter on his behalf.
Snoop’s visa to Oz had been held up by government officials Down Under because of his criminal past.
Russell Crowe, in a letter to Australia’s Minister of Immigration, recently asked his country to reconsider their decision.
Here are parts of the letter:
“I have known Snoop Dogg for 3 years…[he] poses no threat to Australia or to any individual in this country; he has toured here three times before without incident and there are no reasons to assume this tour will be anything but the positive experience the last three have been,” Crowe detailed. “Snoop has built a stellar reputation with promoters and audiences worldwide.”
“Snoop has used his celebrity in many positive ways. I would like to bring to your attention a very significant contribution he has made in the City of Los Angeles where he started and continues to operate a Youth Football League for 8 to 10 year olds, put in place so that disadvantaged kids could take part in organized team sports,” Crowe continued. “It has been very successful, even to the point it has been examined by the NFL as they look to replicate the enthusiasm and engagement that kids have with this program.”
Now that’s the move of an Australian bad a** backing up an American bad a**!
love you baby xoxo”.
