I won't lie - I love celebrity gossip. My guilty pleasures are celebrity magazines and the E! Channel and I'm always up-to -date on the latest happenings.
That being said, I've started this column in The Circle, and I'm here to relate some big celebrity information to you busy college students every week and to feed your guilty pleasures if you happen to share the same interest as I do.
It seemed to be pretty quiet in tinsel town this week. Celebrities are keeping to themselves during the awards season and trying to keep their names out of the press.
The few stories that splashed in the news this week:
-Jessica Biel of 7th Heaven got into a screaming battle with the beautiful, newly brunette Cameron Diaz over Justin Timberlake at the Golden Globes after party. Come on, ladies! You are classy women. Is the former Mouseketeer worth this drama? You can both be with hotter guys, like Derek Jeter and Kelly Slater, who are waiting in the wings for either of you.
-As far as entertainment at the Super Bowl goes, what a disappointment. Eighties pop star Prince, greatly embarrassed himself at the Super Bowl Sunday night by proving to everyone that he is nothing more than a mediocre cover artist and Billy Joel barely croaked out the National Anthem. What are these formerly great artists turning in to? And why are we still praising them enough to let them sing at the single biggest sporting event this year?
-The fist pound is no longer in, but apparently the slap in the face is the new way to go, according to the Super Bowl Coca-Cola commercial.
-Kevin Federline poked fun at his own life in a Super Bowl commercial, saying that "Life comes at you fast…" as he went from fame to fast food employee. Another funny twist: Federline had to write an apology letter to fast food workers due to the content of the commercial and explain how he was making fun of his life, not their work or way of life.
-Take a moment to send your thoughts and prayers to Angelina Jolie during this time because of the passing of her amazing and inspiring mother, Marcheline Bertrand. People can now take back their snide comments about how cold and heartless Jolie was at the Golden Globes with Brad Pitt because she seemed to have no personality on the Red Carpet. Information has leaked out this week that her mother had relapsed and become deathly ill that evening, and though Jolie was under a lot of stress she decided to support Pitt and attend the Golden Globes regardless. This only goes to show that you never know what is really going on with a person and that passing judgment is not a healthy thing to do.
-Nicole Kidman was rushed to the hospital after her stunt car crashed into a telephone pole on the set of her new movie. The ivory-skinned Aussie is said to be doing fine and will return to work next week.
-Writer's Words of Advice: Awards season has quickly come upon us, so when you have a free moment go to the movie theater and soak in some of the nominated movies. This was a good year for film.
Not much else has gone on in Hollywood this week, but these crazy celebrities always keep the people on their toes. I will be sure to keep you posted on their wild antics every week.
