Weekend Gossip Overload

Something look wrong here? We've had a catastrophe. Read about it here.
The week is over and what a week it was, but lo and behold there is still more outrageous gossip spewing out of the sewer known as Hollywood! For instance Adriana Lima's husband NBA pro basket baller Marco Jaric is being investigated for sexual assault! Philadelphia Police are investigating claims that he assaulted a woman in that fair city when his team the Grizzlies we're recently playing there. That would've been last month. Lima and Jaric were married on Valentine's Day. So it would've placed the alleged assault pretty close to the marriage. 

Jaric official spokespersons are pretty adamant in declaring "like no way man - he's married to Lima!" Well not in so many words, but they have said that the allegations are 100% false, that Mr & Mrs Jaric are 100% in love, and that high profile celebrity couples can become targets for these type of charges. 

Now while everyone is saying "Yeah right!", that is for the one's who aren't saying "Isn't Adriana Lima that underwear virgin?", let me just say Alexandra Paressant! If you'll recall she was that Myspace wacko who claimed to have scored with Tony Parker at his Paris wedding to Eva Longoria.  X17 Online backed her up, being happy to break the story. They even claimed to have text messages to prove Parker's infidelity with Mme Paressant. When the dust cleared not only was Paressant not involved with Parker, but she wasn't a model, may not really be French, and in fact no one has yet managed to prove she was even a woman! A credibility black eye for X17! So lets not cook Jaric's goose before the pigeons come home to roost, lest we wind up with egg on our faces. Now how's that for mixing - or even scrambling - metaphors? Don't count your scandals before they're hatched.

There's more: Yahoo News is reporting that Angelina Jolie may be pregnant again! Apparently Supermom requested some stunts in her new movie Salt to be recast - Salt is the spy flick where she'll be playing Tom Cruise. Apparently alot of stuff like back flips, and other dangerous moves that might prove risky to potential moms had to be taken out. Also the recent shots in the film have been concentrating more on close ups. This has sparked rumours that undeterred (or at least under deterred) by the media fiasco known as Octomom - with whom any likeness to Angelina Jolie is unintended and coincidental - Jolie is up to her old ways.

Now these new pregnancy rumours have most folk screaming STOP THE INSANITY. Perhaps the only people welcoming the coming round of Brangelina melodrama might be  Octomom Nadya Suleman - hoping for some spin off publicity (maybe the media could start a running score - Jolie 8: Octomom 14?); and Chris Brown - hoping that it might take attention off of himself. Of course this sort of thing usually happens when ever Angie is hyping a movie or up for an award - she gets pregnant and has some relationship drama with Brad Pitt. This time Pitt is rumoured to be doing the nanny. In fact it seems like Angie is getting predictable in her old age. She doesn't need to be too inventive anymore. One more outrageous pregnancy, maybe invitro triplets; and the resulting People cover payday, and she can retire from the game for good.

Finally Jessica Simpson is opening her mouth and trying to score points by saying things that she thinks everyone will agree with. This time it's on the subject of domestic abuse and battery. With Chris Brown and Rihanna the hottest story on the planet right now - unless Angelina Jolie really is pregnant again - or even more startling planning sex change surgery ("I think I'd make a really cool dude and father for the boys. I'm trying to get Brad to get the sex change too. He doesn't want to but I'm working on him!")  - Jess thinks that she can drum up support by telling every one how wrong she things beaten on people is.

In Jess's words if a woman is in an abusive relationship then she should 'run and not walk' away. Jess goes on to say that she was in an abusive relationship, though she doesn't say that she was physically assaulted. She doesn't say who the man was either, though people think that she's taking a swipe at Nick Lechay, or maybe John Mayer. That would of course not be considering the dozens of other guys she's been with since her Lechay bust up.

Jess is basically trying to get support by saying something that everyone agrees with on an issue that is front and center right now. The trouble with that is that it's phony and clumsy - like an Oscar winner thanking baby seals during their acceptance speech. People think that with the timing Jess is just trying to prove something, or get some positive spin. So they're not ready to buy it. Besides, if she really wanted to get relevant again then she should put that 20 pounds back on. It maybe counter intuitive, but when the world discovered that she was fat, she went from playing at chili cook offs to making national news. Even Pres Barack Obama had to share the cover of a national mag with her, and then address that with Matt Lauer - taking valuable time out from discussing the Superbowl - as he does in 4:32 of the following video.



There you go! Never underestimate the influence of entertainment gossip! Don't be afraid to make the counter intuitive choice sometimes, either!
