Superstar Couples

Actress and fashion model Uma Thurman is getting ready to get hitched for the third time. The 38-year-old mother of two has become engaged to Arpad Arki Busson, a Swiss millionaire with two children of his own. The couple both share their children with very famous exes.

Thurman was previously married to actor and writer Ethan Hawke, while Busson was with supermodel Elle Macpherson. The couple met last summer and became engaged last week, but there’s no word on an official wedding date just yet.

Rumors that Lindsay Lohan is dating D.J. Samantha are spreading like wildfire across the web. Although there has been no such confirmation from Lohan and Ronson (infact they say the rumors aren’t true) the pair has been seen spending loads of time together and often holding hands.

Recently a video that showed the two girls sharing an intimate moment (maybe even a kiss?) was aired on celebrity gossip blogs as evidence of a relationship. Are they an actual couple or just very close friends? Only time will tell. But one thing is for sure, Lindsay Lohan is likely delighted in the amount of publicity their odd union is creating.

Rapper Flavor Flav, 49, is giving up on his search for reality television love and settling down with the mother of his child, Liz. Flav and Liz have a son, Karma, together and after three seasons of “Flavor Of Love,” Flav decided to ask Liz to marry him.

During the 3 seasons of Flavor’s reality show the star, who’s real name is William Jonathon Drayton, Jr., lived with groups of sexy women in his mansion. The women created lots of drama as they fought for his attention and affection.

Millions watched weekly as he went on dates, eliminated women from the house and his life, broke some hearts, and gave viewers some laughs along the way.

But in the end it was his search for love (or at least sex) that led him to realize that Liz was the only women for him. In an interview with Flav, he said that none of the 65 girls had the qualities that Liz did., that she was wonderful and a good mother. He also said that Liz deserves the best and of course, that’s exactly what he thinks he is.

I guess if it takes sleeping with a few truckloads of Flav fans brings you back to your true love then it’s worth it, at least for him. As for Flav’s fiance, she didn’t enjoy seeing him with other women on “Flavor Of Love.” She probably won’t enjoy see him with women now that their engaged either, oh well. You can’t have..um..everything.

High School Musical actress, KayCee Stroh got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Ben Higginson over the weekend. Stroh plays the role of fun loving Martha Cox in Disney’s High School Musical series.

KayCee was touched by the romantic proposal which took place on top of a Salt Lake City mountain. After giving his girlfriend a single rose, Higginson in traditional style bent down on one knee to ask KayCee for her hand in marriage.

She’s now proudly sporting a princess cut solitaire diamond engagement ring with pave set diamonds surrounding the stone. The couple is planning the wedding ceremony for 2008.

It wasn’t too long ago that Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz announced their engagement. After a few weeks of whirlwind wedding planning and celebrations they quickly tied the knot.

Wentz, 28, and Simpson, 23, got married on Saturday May, 17, 2008, at Ashlee’s parents L.A. home.

With her best friend and sister Jessica Simpson as her Maid Of Honor, Ashlee walked down the aisle wearing an ivory wedding gown by Monique Lhuillier.

The couple chose a beautiful Alice in Wonderland wedding theme and celebrated the occasion with a formal dinner and  dancing with 150 guests.

Anonymous sources have confided to the media that the couple was in a hurry to wed because Ashlee Simpson is pregnant. But since no reliable sources have confirmed this information, it can only be considered a rumor. Only time will tell if these two newlyweds are also parents-to-be.

Jennifer Anniston, 39, has found romance once again with musician John Mayer, 30.

Rumors of a possible relationship began after the couple had been spotted out on the town together. But rumors of a possible romantic link between Jennifer Anniston and Owen Wilson were also floating around.

But it looks like Jenn and Owen were simply friends all along because in the end it was the Jenn and John rumors that were confirmed to be the real deal when the couple was seen kissing by the pool.

John Mayer and Jennifer Anniston recently attended the “Marley And Me” Wrap Party in Florida together on May 10, 2008.

The most recent Jenn and John couple sighting was at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami, Florida on Saturday, where they showed some of that sexy poolside passion.

Paris Hilton has been spotted wearing a pretty diamond ring that was given to her by boyfriend Benji Madden. Although Paris says that the ring “is just a present,” she’s proudly wearing it on her left hand ring finger, making everyone wonder if the couple isn’t secretly engaged.

Over the past few weeks Paris and Benji have been denying engagement rumors but have discussed marriage.

Benji Madden, 29 and Paris Hilton, 27, have only been dating for a little over 2 months but Paris has said that they want to stay together forever.

The relationship may be new, but the love is strong, and Madden, who is the guitarist of the group, Good Charlotte, has even written and recorded a special song for his girlfriend called “Shine Your Light.”

He surprised Paris with the romantic love song that he wrote just for her and she loved it, saying “It was the sweetest thing that anyone has ever done for me.”

Benji Madden may not be ready to settle down just yet but Paris Hilton just may be. She’s given up her life of partying to spend time at home with her new love where she enjoys playing board games like Monopoly and cooking for Benji.

She’s also been enjoying playing the role of Aunt to longtime friend Nicole Ritchie’s daughter Harlow, and says that it makes her want a baby of her own.

Perhaps if Joel Madden (Benji Madden’s twin brother) asks the mother of his child, Nicole Ritchie for her hand in marriage, it might just inspire his brother to do the same.

Mariah Carey successfully kept her wedding a secret, no paparazzi, no fanfare, this pop star got hitched in peace. After a week of speculation Carey and her new husband Nick Cannon have finally confirmed that yes, all of those rumors are true, they are officially husband and wife!

The ceremony took place on April 30, 2008, after a sizzling hot six week romance. They were married at a beautiful Bahamian estate at sunset. What could be more romantic than that?

In this week’s issue of people magazine Mariah Carey and Nick Canon open up about their relationship, the wedding, and even share exclusive wedding photos from their special day.

You can get a preview of the People Magazine issue on People.com but you’ll have to wait until this Friday before the issue hits the newsstands.

Nick Cannon, 27, has a lucrative career as an actor, comedian, rapper, and record producer. His latest projects include the horror thriller classic “Day of the Dead” which recently came out on DVD.

You can check to see what else he’s been up to on NickCannon.com.

Mariah Carey, 38 recently starred in the film “Tennessee”
which premiered April 26, 2008, at the Tribeca Film Festival.

In the movie Carey plays a Tennessee waitress named Krystal who leads a very difficult life and dreams of becoming a singer.

Apparently her performance in the movie was so incredibly moving that she actually brought the film crew to tears as she sang.

With the amazing success that Mariah Carey has had during her career as a singer combined with her best acting role to date in “Tennessee,” it looks like she’s got everything a girl could ask for.

Marrying the man that she refers to as her soulmate, is just icing on the cake for the superstar.

Harry Potter fans, eat your heart out. After his pronouncements in July that he needed a female companion, it looks like 18-year-old Daniel Radcliffe is off the market.

So who’s the lucky girl then? Well, she is none other than Laura O’Toole, Daniel’s co-star from his play “Equus.” She isn’t exactly the lead star from the play but she and the young actor got really close when she understudied the role of Jill, who played by Joanna Christie. The character appeared in “a lengthy nude sex scene” with Daniel.

Though it is odd to read from the tabloids referring to her as old, the Irish actress is only 22. She might be four years older than Harry Potter but the two got on really well after acting side by side together.

The couple has claimed to have been secretly dating since February.

According to The Sun:

“There were rumours they were dating when the play was going on. It was even reported that they shared a smooch at the wrap party. But they played it down.”

Whereas Britain’s Now Magazine reported that Daniel has been photographed with Laura enjoying a shopping trip in Fullham, West London.

Not too many things are known about Laura except that she is waitressing between gigs. She will also appear as “the female lead opposite Lily Allen’s brother Alfie when the play goes on a UK tour next year.”

She made her name six years ago in the Irish TV series “On Home Ground” on RTE.

Theirs is the story of a perfect rock-stars love team. They were good-looking, talented and famous. He was an Adonis fancied by thousands of girls around the world. Her career was taking off thanks to her clever catchy tunes such as “Stutter” and “Vaseline.” Outside of Britain they were mapping out their future. In Britain, they were the Beckhams, before Posh and David existed, of the emerging Cool Britannia.

It was a horrible experience as a celebrity and they became household names: Damon and Justine.

Their relationship was the fodder for tabloids. It helped to create the buzz but behind the limelight there was a problem.

In 1998, after a Southeast Asian trip to rekindle their relationship, they ended their relationship out of the blue and without a fuss.

As Justine Frischmann and her band Elastica released their second album, “The Menace,” in 2000 everything went down the drain. Damon Albarn’s band Blur released “13″ a year before.

The breakup inspired the songs in the album, mostly about Justine’s drug addiction and Damon’s struggle to move on.

Though she admitted that she touched drugs her depression was a mix of emotions towards her band members, the ability to bear success and the creative juice that wasn’t flowing anymore.

In a Guardian interview in 2002, she expressed her anxiety to be accepted by the fans.

“I do feel slightly like I’m having sex with the world at the moment, and I’m not sure if it’s going to like me in the morning.”

And she hated the fact that Damon, instead of talking to her and physically supporting her discreetly wrote songs about the breakup such as the singles “Tender” and “No Distance Left to Run.”

The first time she listened to “Tender” she cried. But Damon’s insistence for her to retire from music business to play down her personal problems didn’t help.

According to her, he told her that she’d demonstrated herself to be his equal and had nothing further to prove, and that she was unhappy because she wanted to have children, but wasn’t acknowledging it. She was angry about this, suspecting him of trying to reassert control rather than addressing her real problems.

Damon Albarn quickly moved on. He found a partner in the person of Suzi Winstanley and less than year of being together they had a child, Missy, who was born in October. She was to have named after Missy “Misdemenor” Elliot.

In 2004, there was a report that Suzi, an established wildlife painter along with her partner Oliver “Olly” Williams, gave him an ultimatum to stop his partying spree.

Lately, the moment I saw Damon again on Arte, a French-German TV channel, I knew that he already settled down. Devoid of vanity and superficiality, he surrounded himself with music, playing his passion and continually experimenting with sounds coming from different sources.

I was thinking, look at him, he doesn’t mind if he has a missing tooth and crow’s-feet. He was then asked by the crew of Arte’s “Tracks” what’s keeping him busy, his latest adventure. He then expressed about his new project: Peking Opera, cartoon, and circus onstage.

Gone were the days of the childlike battle with Oasis and the flirting with fame. After the years of the confused ’90s, Damon, lead singer of Blur, Gorillaz and The Good, the Bad and the Queen, has settled down.

In one of The Good, The Bad, and The Queen singles he dedicated the song “Northern Whale” to Suzi.

The eight years of love he shared and nurtured with Justine might be over but that’s all behind him now.

“Take a piece of me.”

Surely, this could be Scarlett Johansson’s thoughts after she allegedly handed over a gold-coated wisdom tooth to her boyfriend Ryan Reynolds.

The actor celebrated his 31st birthday on October 23. E Online reported that the young actress feeling festive and, perhaps, poetic treated . Scarlett Johansson gave boyfriend Ryan Reynolds her wisdom tooth for his birthday.

Tooth? Yeah, a tooth! In gold! Why waste it, right?

The young actress was rumoured to have held an early celebration for him at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont hotel last week the day after she was at Elle Magazine’s 14th Annual Women in Hollywood event. Reports said that Scarlett presented him with her tooth, which had been dipped in gold and made into a necklace.

A source told the gossip network that the actress just “had her wisdom teeth removed, so she had one dipped in gold and strung on a necklace for him.”

Scarlett also flew to Canada with Ryan to meet his parents. Now it isn’t clear if if they are talking about engagement and marriage. His family and Scarlett also organised another special treat for his birthday.

Apart from the birthday bash she allegedly paid for Ryan to have a full body massage with all of David Beckham’s bodyguards present.

But Scarlett’s representative couldn’t confirm this.

“Scarlett was out of town for Ryan’s birthday but she gave him a gift this weekend in private. There was no one else there.”

But the tooth as a gift is original though. If it is romantic then it is up to the one who receives it as an act of love.

How about you, would you mind it?

Hear, hear. Do you remember the old adage that says: If there’s a smoke, there’s a fire? Or something to that effect?

Reese Witherspoon, 31, and “Rendition” costar Jake Gyllenhaal, 26, were spotted in Rome getting intimate–holding hands and even cuddling in public.

Now that the actress’ divorce has been finalised, she is ready to bring her much-speculated relationship to the next level. That is, not being afraid to show the world that they are in love.

In the beginning doubts were cast on their relationship. One reader cited the tabloids’ penchant for gossips saying that the actor just laughed it all off when he was asked about his love affair with the ex-Mrs. Ryan Phillippe at the recent film festival in Toronto.

Now, pictures of the two show that they are indeed a couple.

It is claimed that two began dating this year after getting close on the set of “Rendition,” which officially opened last week.

Reese and Jake successfully kept their relationship away from the curious public. Threwere rumours and eyewitness accounts that they were seen together in Los Angeles. It was a date at the restaurant Il Sole in March where Reese and Jake were spotted “being playful” to each other.

However, no enterprising paparazzi ever got the opportunity to snap the two proving that they were indeed lovers. There were speculations that they were just friends. But recently, Reese hinted that Jake is indeed someone special.

She described the actor, who formerly dated Kirsten Dunst, “cute” and “great” from Ellen DeGeneres’ show admitting her fondness for him.

In June, the two reportedly cooled off citing Reese’s major priority–her children. Sources close to the actress revealed that her affair with Jake was “over.” She wanted to concentrate more on her children–Ava, 7, and Deacon, 3. It must be part of the divorce proceedings. That is, to get the full custody rights.

Now that she is officially divorced and single, it is easier to entertain new love. As amatter of fact, they look great together.

Take it from Catherine Zeta-Jones’ mother-in-law, the actress Diana Dill David and Kirk Douglas’ first wife, who married again by the time she was 80.

Marriage is like precious jewelery. If you can’t afford to lose it then you have to take care of it. Or better yet, don’t wear it.

Diana might be referring to her daughter-in-law’s expensive gems. She warned Catherine she must only wear things she is prepared to lose. Catherine took this as an advice to her marriage.

Accidentally, the Welsh actress is the current model of the luxury jewels house Di Modolo.

“I carry a lot of jewellery with me, but I often get worried something is going to happen. My mother-in-law says that a woman should never put something on you can’t afford to lose.”

Catherine and actor Michael Douglas have been married since November 2000. Recently, while the actress worked on the American remake of the German film “Bella Martha,” “No Reservations,” there were reports that she and costar Aaron Eckhart became close that stung the relationship with her husband. The once-divorced Michael was spotted alone with their children Dylan Michael Douglas, 7, and Carys Zeta Douglas, 4.

He and ex-wife Diandra Luker Douglas of 23 years have one child, Cameron. She got $45 million out of divorce settlements.

The actress promised herself never to get divorced saying that “marriage is a life-long commitment.”

“I fell in love with my husband at first sight, and I still feel the same way. At some point, my little babies are going to run out of the nest and I don’t want to look at Michael and say, ‘Hey, remember us?’ I’ll never get divorced, never!”

Who could resist Michael? Catherine told Parade (July 2007 issue, via Sydney Morning Herald) that the actor charmed him by using the line “I want to father your children.” Months later the two were dating and Catherine was in loved.

Though some sources revealed that Catherine would like to have another baby, she admitted that their to two children are enough.

Okay, okay. So not another post of the famous Hollywood couple, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The two were spotted on the streets of Manhattan, New York, last Thursday. Young Maddox’s school, the exclusive Lycee Francais, is just located there. This time the actress was wearing all black and beige ballerinas compared to her beau’s grey outfit.

Despite ugly reports that they are going separate ways, the two simply manage to appear very much together. In one photograph Brad showed how gentleman he is by opening the door for his love.

They might not hold hands in front of the paparazzi’s expensive cameras but can you tell me is this the picture of a troubled couple?

Recently, Angie told Cosmopolitan (via Entertainmentwise) that she only had sex with four men and married the two of them. Still, doubting Thomases couldn’t believe that the actress is telling the truth. She is often portrayed as a sex bomb, a man eater, who can break your heart whether you are a man or a woman.

We know the chapter between her and ex-lover Jenny Shimizu, who is very sure that her attachment to Brad is just a facade and that in the end she would return to her old wild ways.

Enter Bai Ling.

Angie’s latest admirer is the Chinese-American actress, whose first American film was the cult favourite “The Crow” with the late actor Brandon Lee as the avenging angel.

The naturalised American, who admitted in interview that she has had also affairs with women, said that she and Angelina had a “spark” when they worked together in two movies, “Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow” in 2004 and the documentary “A Place In Time.”

“I felt this energy between us, when we look at each other there’s an energy, an attraction. Her eyes transfer a sexual energy to me that makes her irresistible.”

She also mentioned that Angelina felt the same connection too.

“Angelina said, ‘Next time we’ll play lovers.’ We could have hooked up, but it just wasn’t the right time or place. But she told me, ‘My heart’s open to you.’ She is like me. She is totally open sexually.”

And now that the Angie and Brad have gotten together, she was also hoping to bed Brad together with Angie.

“I’ve always thought Brad was the sexiest man on the planet. So now that Brad and Angelina are together, now maybe I could experience both at the same time!”

Menage a trois! Way to go Bai!

Love knows no boundaries. In show business it is also the same.

Perhaps, I am making a big deal out of interracial couples. Though it is very possible and it is a reality and happening, we can’t hide the fact that there is still discrimination when it comes to two individuals bearing different skin colours. They are often hailed and ostracised at the same time.

I should know. I am one of them, sans fame. And you do everything such as moving on to another country to prove that, to be with the one you love.

In the case of famous Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi she didn’t change her nationality. She has just “emigrated” to Hong Kong from Beijing thus changing her passport of ex-British colony in order to move around the world freely. The following could be counted as her reasons: to further her career as a foreign artist and to be able to meet her boyfriend at the moment, the Israeli multimillionaire Aviv “Vivi” Nuevo, who lives in New York, United States.

Zhang has already obtained the coveted permission of residence in Hong Kong, so difficult to obtain for many of its compatriots, with it she can travel without a visa to 134 visa countries (with Chinese passport, nevertheless, it is necessary to obtain visa stops most of those nations).
