Superstar Couples

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).

I am not sure if to take this news in stride. Or just shrug my shoulders. Because for the nth time Ryan Gosling and Rachel Mcadams are no longer a pair.

The Canadian twosome who rose to the Hollywood ranks of dream couples after filming the dreamy yet cheesy “The Notebook” ceased to be a couple again. That’ according to Austria’s society magazine Seitenblicke, which cited its report as exclusive. It confirmed that the rising star is again off the hook after they conducted an interview with him promoting his new comedy “Lars and the Real Girl,” which the editors of the klatsch und tratsch Magazin noted that there are bits of parallelisms between his real and his reel character. Both have to fight the “single blues” in their lives. The magazine said.

In April this year rumours said they were even engaged. And then it was put off when reporters overheard Ryan telling his pals that they broke up.

We hear that “The Notebook” true-life couple Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have split. A pal of Gosling’s was overheard asking the actor, “Where’s Rachel tonight?” at the Los Angeles premiere of “Fracture” Wednesday. Gosling responded, “Don’t you know? We broke up.” A rep for Gosling refused to comment on the actor’s personal life.

So don’t believe the hype unless you see pictures of Ryan and/or Rachel hooked up with someone else!

Seitenblicke, Austria’s society magazine, reported that it won’t be long till we see a single Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin again. Ok! Magazine also wrote about the actress’ less-than-enthusiastic way as soon as she discussed her husband and marriage. (via Hollyscoop)

During a recent four-hour trip to a salon, Gwyneth spoke about Chris for “less than five total minutes, always quickly changing the topic to her kids Apple and Moses.” Those present also say she seemed very “vague and unenthusiastic” during those brief seconds when her marriage was discussed.”

Talk about different priorities. When Gywn put down her career and prepared herself to be a mom, it seems that Chris had a different agenda. And that’s making music.

After daughter Apple was born, the actress told everyone that her family was her absolute priority defending her husband then.

“My husband is a musician, who is incomparable with other normal husbands.”

The audience hasn’t seen too much of the couple either sharing intimate looks or visiting public events. Therefore, Gwyn and Chris are heading to Splitsville.

It is not the first time the couple had a row and the press took a notice. In 2005 just before their son Moses Bruce was born, there were rumors that the pair was on the verge of breaking up. This happened after the restaurant scene where tension between the two exploded.

The argument began about the table, but turned into more personal things. One witness said.

While a “friend” commented.

“Adjusting to married life, then being parents and now trying to sort out their professional lives has been a lot more difficult and complicated than either of them imagined.”

But knowing Chris’ aloofness to talking to yellow press about his private life, this might be just another speculation. And this might not be true.

Clive Owen, the 43-year-old British actor, isn’t at all blinded with his growing fame. He is still down to earth. Most of all, he remains faithful to his wife, sometime actress Sarah-Jane Fenton. They have two daughters, 10-year-old Hannah and eight-year-old Eve.

If the girls aren’t fascinated every time Clive has to shoot his movies abroad, the actor is not at all tempted to cheat on his wife even though his costars include an array of what you call beautiful actresses in Hollywood.

Say Angelina Jolie, Julia Roberts and Jennifer Aniston. And lastly, with Italian import Monica Belluci, who will appear alongside Clive in the upcoming “Shoot ‘Em Up.”

These women don’t have any weight when it comes to his partner of 12 years. He described her as his forever diamond.

“I so value what I’ve got at home with my wife and kids that I’ve never f***ed with that. For me, that’s what it’s about. I’ve had some great times with actresses, but that’s in a movie. It’s a fun thing to do, but it’s not love. So I never have a problem with that. Even sex scenes are very straightforward. You’ve got things to accomplish, work to do. I find the thing to do in those situations is to just keep the atmosphere as light as possible. My relationship is everything to me. I’m often doing incredibly exciting plays and films, but that would mean nothing if I were floating around and didn’t have a solid family behind me. Sarah-Jane is an absolute diamond.”

What’s up with Joshua Jackson? It seems that the actor is content accompanying girlfriend Diane Kruger instead of making movies. While Diane is busy promoting herself in Europe and the United States, Joshua isn’t hurrying to make more than one film a year.

The actress was in Venice with “I’m Not There” cast Richard Gere.

On Friday night, Diane and Joshua were spotted leaving the trendy Waverly Inn in New York City, a restaurant owned by Graydon Carter of Vanity Fair.

Other celebs include the Waverly Inn Habitué Demi Moore. Sisters Jessica and Ashlee Simpson were there too.

Tobey Maguire married his longtime love Jennifer Meyer, who is also the mother of his 10-month old daughter Ruby Sweetheart.

The couple went to Kona, Hawaii to tie the knot for a sunset ceremony on Monday. Only a small group of family and friends, including Leonardo DiCaprio and Lukas Haas, witnessed their exchange of vows.

The pair first met in 2003 while Tobey was shooting the movie “Seabiscuit” at Universal Studios. The actor and Jennifer, an accomplished jewelry maker and the daughter of Vivendi Universal Entertainment CEO Ron Meyer, became engaged in April 2006. Her collection has been worn by noted actresses such as Jennifer Aniston, Kate Hudson, among others.

Tobey admitted that being a father has made a difference to his life surrounded with the superficiality of Hollywood:

“I’m at that stage where I have to start thinking about where I want Ruby to grow up and go to school … Even though L.A. is pretty laid-back, maybe it would be a good idea to try a different, less ambitious kind of atmosphere.”

Whatever it is, it seems that Tobey has found the magic of having his own family.

After three years of being together, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams called it quits.

The two met on the set of “Brokeback Mountain” and have a daughter Matilda Rose, who was born in 2005. Even before Matilda arrived there were reports that the Australian actor and Michelle split up. It was even claimed that they were engaged.

According to US Weekly via the Sydney Morning Herald, a source confirmed that they “quietly and amicably split a few weeks ago.”

“The relationship had been rocky recently. They tried very hard to make it work but finally decided to separate. They just grew apart.
“They have a beautiful daughter and they are both committed to being great parents.”

It is up and about at the Venice Film 64th Venice Film Festival, a.k.a. Biennale.

Like every splashy movie festival, Biennale isn’t short of glamour and is regarded as one of the institutions in the film industry.

The opening ceremony took place at the Palazzo del Cinema around 7 p.m., and was hosted by Ambra Angiolini, an Italian actress. “Atonement” by UK director Joe Wright was the first film to be screened in competition. This is the second time Joe and Keira worked together. They did “Pride and Prejudice” before.

According to Hollywood Reporter, the film got quite a “strong” reception. It stars Keira Knightley, who is the darling of the press at the moment. She tagged along her boyfriend Rupert Friend.

Weight shouldn’t be an issue. It is a matter of a personal choice. As long as you are happy with it then go for it. But I am sorry to say that the appearance of Keira and her bf Rupert tandem is a big exaggerating. They look unhealthy to me.

Suicide victims often do it in order to garner attention from the people they love.

It is a call for help that the loved ones should heed. Or else, it might be too late.

It doesn’t matter if the person is susceptible to self-destruction. Like funny man Owen Wilson. Who would expect that Owen could ever do such a thing?

He’s always been featured as this gigolo, happy-go-lucky, I-don’t-care-about-the-future-not-even-my-girlfriend kind of person. Contrary to his brother Luke’s persona, who found him, the media portrayed Owen as a party-goer and not someone who would commit himself to a girl.

So why did he slash his wrist? Why did he take some pills? Tabloid gossips speculated that the intimate pictures of his ex-girlfriend for six months Kate Hudson and her new flame, Dax Shepard, another comedian, kissing and holding hands at a Malibu grocery triggered Owen to kill himself.

Are these pictures enough to drive Owen to end his life? An unidentified source mentioned that Owen has been depressed for months. After the split, the actor hasn’t been dating anybody.

Did he really regret it or there is more to this story?

Though the actor is stable, he asked the media to leave him alone at this moment.

Last night Wilson issued a statement saying a “difficult time” had led to him ending up in hospital.

He would not elaborate on the apparent suicide bid, but asked to be given peace to “heal in private”.

They say regrets always come later. Owen might be experiencing this right now.

I still don’t dig Matt Damon’s Bourne series, his own version of James Bond, but you have to take credit for the man who wrote and starred in “The Good Will Hunting.” It was really a nice movie.

So, the latest installment of Bourne Trilogy is now out dubbed “Bourne Ultimatum.” This time without German actress Franka Potente. The cast attended yesterday night’s London premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square.

Matt is pictured together with his wife, the Argentine-born Luciana Bozan Barroso, whom he met in Miami where she was working as a bartender.

The two married in a private civil ceremony on December 9, 2005, in New York City Hall. Damon has become stepfather to Luciana’s young daughter, Alexia, from her previous marriage. The couple’s first child together, daughter Isabella, was born on June 11, 2006.

The actor previously dated Winona Ryder, Odessa Whitmire, Billy Bob Thorton’s personal assistant and Ben Affleck and “Good Will Hunting” co-star Minnie Driver. Their breakup spawned an urban myth when Damon reportedly ended the affair via “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” Both actors have repeatedly denied this. According to reports, Damon mentioned that he was “sick and tired” of hearing the story, saying it was false.

Christina Applegate and Jonathon Shaech are divorced!

I didn’t know that they were even married! And they have been together for four years!

Married in Palm Springs, the two decided to end their union, which was filed in December 2005, citing the overused phrase “irreconcilable differences” in Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to People, the childless couple’s worth isn’t that bad. Compared to us, the ordinary mortals, the 37-year-old Jonathon, emphasise on the “on,” who made it big through the bubblegum movie about the rise of a bubblegum pop band “That Thing You Do,” is about $2 million whereas Christina has accounts totaling over $6 million.

The actress who played the lovable yet ditzy Kelly Bundy from the much-beloved “Married….With Children” and Jonathon would like to settle it in style. Christina will get their Los Angeles homes and the Lexus. While he keeps the 2001 Mercedes-Benz, “but has asked for custody of his cement Buddha.”

Jenny Shimizu doesn’t believe Angelina Jolie has changed.

According to Public, a French magazine, Angelina admitted that Brad Pitt had tamed her and no longer seeks the “thrills in lesbian conquests and dangerous lovemaking.”

Angie’s former lover refuses to believe her claims. Model and one-time actress Jenny, who boasts a 10-year relationship with the actress, is skeptical. No family could change the fire inside Angelina.

“She (Jolie) loves danger and dabbling in the dark side. Angelina is an unbelievable lesbian lover. That’s where she gets her kicks–not playing happy families with one man.”

Or is Angelina really? Perhaps, Jenny is aching for some menage a trois? Would you give it to her Brad? Hmmm….

Meanwhile, the multiculti family has been spotted recently by visiting Chicago’s Field Museum. The actress is set to film her new movie in the Windy City. Their colourful set of kids–daughter Shiloh Nouvel, adopted daughter Zahara Marley, and adopted boys Maddox Chivan and Pax Thien–seems to be at ease with the setup and unaware of their mother’s erotic past. Notice that Zahara and Pax are sporting tattoos on their limbs.

After I went under a week of heavy sickness and my little boy had a small accident, Hollywood is brimming with strange news and bitter, if not civil, breakups.

Like what they say there’s nothing like show business. It runs nonstop and it doesn’t end. Errr, the mishaps….

Who doesn’t enjoy the slapstick comedy of “Two and a Half Men” is a wuzz?

I guess, when you are bedridden you learn to savour its vicious humour and real-life fun especially if Elvis Costello is one of the honoured guests. And I admit it is really funny. So why Charlie Sheen, 41, who thinks himself larger than life, declared that former wife Denise Richards would like to have another baby with him?

Ever since splitting up the ex-couple has been known to wash the details of their short marriage in front of the public. And recently, there was a talk of sperm donation. Huh?

Talking to syndicated TV show “Entertainment Tonight” Charlie said that there “was a request for a donation.”

“Without getting into it here … there is a specific document relating to this that I am going to reserve for a court.”

When asked if he would let his ex-wife carry his would-be third child.

“I would sooner, in exactly what I’m wearing, walk on the surface of the moon. Does that answer it?”

I am not sure how could Denise possibly manage to take care of the couple’s two daughters–Sam and Lola. No wonder she denied the allegation.

“I don’t want another child right now. I have my hands full and am focusing on my children, my mother and my career. I thought I was past all this stuff.”

Quick! Tell me what’s wrong with this picture.

Does the sight of the Spanish actress Penelope Cruz and the U2 singer, without the missus, holding hands cause someone to raise his left eyebrow? Is Penelope Cruz Bono’s latest apple of the eye? Are they really lovers? How about Bono’s wife for 25 years Ali Hewson? Are they now separated?

Surely, these questions would come into a person’s mind. We heard Bono sang about his wife and his little family. Has Penelope replaced Ali as his “Sweetest Thing”?

According to Ms Cruz, Bono is her “hero” and admits that she in awe of the singer’s commitment to save the world. The two were allegedly seen strolling down the beautiful and trendy resort of St. Tropez where they reportedly holding hands. Bono’s wife Ali was nowhere in sight. Officially, Bono and his family owns a villa in Alpes-Maritimes, which they shared with U2 band mate The Edge.

“He is so powerful yet so human. Seeing him investing all his time and effort is something to admire. He’s changing the world.”

Not only the two shared some cosy walks but the actress partied with the rocker last week in the noted French Riviera causing some wild rumours to spark.

Yet the two weren’t alone. Bono and Penelope shared a yacht with Helena Christensen among others. Also on board are Bono’s daughters, Memphis Eve and Jordan.

Bono’s significant other Ali commented in 2002 about her relationship with the singer saying that theirs is based on “mutual respect”:

“When he’s garbled and broken I help put him back together and he does the same for me.”

Like Bono, the less than photographed Ali also shares her husband’s passion: political and environmental activism. Recently she also added fashion entrepreneurship to her sleeve launching her own line of clothing. I wonder if her achievements yet Plain Jane looks isn’t enough for the singer.

Bono and the actress have a lot of of explaining to do.

New parents Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts named their first born Alexander Pete Schreiber. The actress welcomed their baby last Wednesday. According to the news, the couple’s first child weighed in at eight pounds and four ounces (3.74 kilograms). The birth took place at a Los Angeles hospital around 3.59 p.m., local time.

Reports of Naomi giving birth only surfaced on Friday via the couple’s publicists. The two actors are not known to flirt with the media and are very careful in hiding their love life.

Last month Liev even made a joke that they were already married much to the dismay of the press. For the meantime, Naomi and Baby Alexander are resting comfortably in the hospital, close to the couple’s Brentwood, California mansion.

New Yorker Liev is undecided where to raise his little family. He admitted that they are still working on it. Naomi is British-Australian. So far Sydney is included on their list.

“We’re working on it. We’re still sorting through it. New York is my home and my inspiration and where all my work is. It’s a hard place to live, but it’s also such a big part of who I am, I can’t imagine anything else. But you get into a relationship and you have to be flexible.”
