The couple showed up at Jessica’s grandparents new home in Waco, Texas, on November 23 (a day late, since Tony had a game to play on Thanksgiving) and received a “hero’s welcome” from Joe and Tina Simpson and Jessica’s grandparents, according to an onlooker. While Tony has denied reports that he and Jessica are dating, insiders say the pair are definitely involved – and they’re getting more serious.
I'd watch out if I was Jessica...I'm starting to think he's a manwhore.
To celebrate the sixtieth birthday of Dior, house designer John Galliano and perfumier François Demachy have created a trio of limited-edition fragrances called La Collection Particulière. The scents pay homage to Miss Dior, the original perfume created in 1947—the same year Christian Dior introduced the "new look" at his first fashion show. La Collection Particulière captures the sophisticated and feminine aura that Dior has maintained for six decades.
The three fragrances are inspired by three past Dior models and muses: France, Lucky and Victoire. Each scent focuses on one of three flowers: rose, iris, and tuberose.
The bottles are made from Baccarat crystal — the same material used in the original and elegant Dior fragrances. The colors of the flacons are the same colors as the French flag. Each bottle is 2.5 ounces and sells for a hefty $490 in 30 Dior boutiques around the world.
Shock rock singer Marilyn Manson has been accused of squandering his band's profit on a child's skeleton and masks made of human skin.
Keyboardist Stephen "Pogo" Bier filed a breach of contract lawsuit in August in which he accused Manson of taking cash belonging to the rest of the band to pay for the "sick and disturbing" purchases. His lawyer Keith Fink has now filed additional papers adding to a list of artefacts bought by the goth singer- many of which are illegal in the US. As well as the skeleton and masks, Manson is said to have bought a range of stuffed animals, including a grizzly bear and two baboons. He is also accused of using band funds to pay for a collection of Nazi memorabilia.

According to the St. Petersburg Times, a Times reporter reportedly broke the news to Hogan on Friday night. He thanked the reporter for the "great information" then called back five minutes later to say, "I'm kind of shocked. You caught me off-guard.

Only a week after his mother's death, Kanye West returned to the concert stage Saturday night in Paris, only to dramatically break down in tears, audience members said. Nearing the end of the more than 60-minute performance, with the riff of "Hey Mama" beginning, West attempted to introduce the tribute to a sold-out crowd at Le Zénith in Paris, saying "this song is for my mother...." and could get no further. "He just cracked," one attendee said, "He was at the end of his concert and had just started to dedicate the song and then he just lost it completely."
"He said the word, 'Mother' and just couldn't go any further," Le Parisien journalist Meddy Magloire said. "A back-up singer, the DJ and a guitar player came over to console him. It looked like he might collapse. He just couldn't continue. He just stood there in a spotlight, crying while the band continued playing." After a few moments of stunned silence, Magloire says, the audience of 5,000 reacted by offering calls of encouragement, which grew into applause.
The band restarted the song, but West left the stage, returning after 10-15 minutes to conclude the concert with a rousing performance of "Stronger."

The 2003 Wimbledon champ, dressed in a shiny baby-doll dress, was spotted holding hands and getting "very close" with rapper Common last week at Tenjune during a party for her sister Venus.

I asked a friend of his and was told they are dating."

She told Eva, 'You cannot bring any more chairs over here. This is a dining room.' Eva didn't listen to her, and a head server had to start pulling the chairs from her and move them back to the dining area so people with reservations could sit."

My thoughts: Sarah Michelle Gellar at 45? I mean...I know Buffy was popular and all, but I'm not agreeing with that one. I feel like they started making people up at the end. My dad will be glad to know his beloved Angela Landsbury made the cut. Glad to see they didn't forget the little guys (Kermit and Charlie Brown!).
It's amazing how many leading men lost their virginity at young ages. In his new book on sexual facts, "Where Do Nudists Keep Their Hankies?" just out from HarperEntertainment, Mitchell Simons reveals that Clint Eastwood, David Duchovny, Bruce Willis and Jerry Hall gave up their innocence at 14. Topping them are: Johnny Depp, James Caan and Jon Bon Jovi, who were just 13. Don Johnson was a mere 12. And Sean Connery confessed, "I was 8, but I can't recall with whom."
8???? That means he's been makin' whoopie for like 798 years!
I was at a press conference this week for a wonderful program called Be a Santa to a Senior. I hadn't heard of it before.
At Christmas, there are some charities I always give to. However, I also try to mix it up--there are just so many good ones to give to. I almost always give to groups assisting needy children or families and frankly, rarely give a second thought to needy seniors alone on Christmas. Regrettably, I always think about kids.
This year, I plan to take part in the Be a Santa to a Senior program. This is a nationwide program helping low or no-income, desolate, seniors who have no one on Christmas. I know we're all busy, and sometimes only have time to give and not "do" during the holidays, and you'll be glad to know that participating in this program is EASY.
Just go to your local Walgreens store and pick an ornament off the Be a Santa to a Senior tree (usually near the entrance). The senior will have picked out a few items they would like and/or need--things like socks, reading glasses, candy, etc. Simply pick up those items, and any extra items you'd like to give, pay at th counter, and give them to the cashier at Walgreens. The Be a Santa to a Senior folks pick up the gifts, wrap them, and deliver them.
Click here to view their website and to find the nearest Walgreens to you participating (Indy folks--ALL Indy area Walgreens are participating). If you can't financially contribute, the website has details on how you can help wrap and deliver.
We ALL have loved ones or people we know in nursing homes. Head to your local Walgreens today!
Even professional hairstylists won't touch Brandon Davis' hair. When "Greasy Bear" paid a visit late Saturday to the Frederic Fekkai Salon for a trim, stylists were so appalled by his oily grunginess they donned rubber gloves. "Even the shampoo person wore gloves," said a source. "He [Davis] was really out of it, sweating profusely. His eyes were half shut and he was asking for carrot juice, even after they told him they only had orange juice."

Her publicist, Patricia Green, told BBC News she passed away "as the result of complications from a cosmetic surgical procedure," but gave no more details. West's spokesman said the family "asks for privacy during this time of grief."
West, 58, a retired professor and former chairwoman of the Chicago State University English department, was a tireless supporter of her son as he both earned success and stirred up controversy.
“I’m only doing the film for the money. It was always about the money. When I made a stand about not being in the movie because I thought the money was terrible, there was a backlash of very negative things from some of my co-stars. The role is very much a double-edged sword.”
--Kim Cattrall, on why she's doing the Sex and the City movie
Lindsay Lohan's smashed-up car can be yours - if you're an idiot with money to burn. An anonymous seller has taken to eBay to hawk the 2005 black Mercedes SL-Class the actress was driving when she crashed on Sunset Boulevard last May, allegedly under the influence of booze and drugs. The price: $110,500. It has 6,207 miles on it and is driveable, following repairs.

Slash can't be himself on Halloween without people thinking it's a costume. The former Guns N' Roses guitarist wore his trademark glasses, moptop hair and top hat to Pacha for its holiday bash, and no one believed it was really him. "Everyone kept telling him it was a great costume," said a source. After he convinced staff he was the real Slash, he was escorted to the VIP room, which has showers in each corner. A tall, hot Brazilian woman stripped off her clothes and jumped into the water to dance naked for him.
While in town, the rocker stopped by Howard Stern's Sirius show to promote his autobiography "Slash," where he revealed much from his wild days, including how he cheated on his second wife the night before their wedding. He also talked about his mom's affair with David Bowie when he was 10 years old, and how she and a friend would do "hard-core" drugs with him when he was 12. And he revealed that the band's hit "Sweet Child O' Mine" was created from a guitar riff he made up on the spot - "I never thought it would be a song."
More court documents in the ongoing custody battle between Britney Spears and Kevin Federlinewere released Thursday, which revealed some intimate details about their finances.
