Superstar Couples

This young couple may technically not be a “Superstars” but they have quickly become a You Tube sensation, drawing in viewers around the world, not to mention dozens of prominent news sites featuring their story.

So what did Kevin Heinz and Jill Peterson do to gain so much attention? The unique bride and groom decided to get creative and turn the traditional walk down the church wedding aisle into a highly energized dance routine. The entire wedding party tried their hardest to show off their very best moves as the event was captured on video.

Once the video tape of the wedding aisle dance hit the Internet it became a huge success receiving over 6 million hits but there are some who just can’t be convinced that dancing to the alter on your wedding day is appropriate.

Personally this is one of the funniest You Tube videos I’ve seen and I love how much spunk these newlyweds have. If you haven’t seen the wedding aisle dance video yet, here it is:

This week’s Sexy Saturday couple is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Not only are these two absolutely gorgeous and amazingly talented actors, but they are also doing their best to help end suffering around the world.

The loving parents of six children spend plenty of family time together even though they are also busy with their successful film careers:

In a June 2009 interview with the Today Show, Angelina Jolie who works as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador, spoke about the desperate need for people to help refugees:

Wow, Jon Gosselin, the Dad of 8 kids who stars in the reality show “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ can’t seem to stay out of the gossip news headlines. Perhaps it’s because nobody, especially “Jon and Kate” fans can believe his recent playboy behavior.

Less than one month after filing for divorce from wife Kate Gosselin, Jon Gosselin has already began dating, and even cheating on other women. This past week his 22-year-old party girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, told the media about their relationship and even said that he was a “perfect fit” because her family approved of Jon.

While Hailey Glassman dreamed of being with her new boyfriend and enjoyed all of the media attention, including being featured in this week’s issue of “People” magazine, it doesn’t look like Jon was thinking too much about her.

When pretty, blond haired, “Star” magazine reporter Kate Major approached Jon Gosselin for interview around five days ago, sparks flew, and the two immediately began a relationship. Unfortunately for Hailey Glassman Jon forgot to mention that he began dating someone new and according to rumors Glassman was shocked and crushed when she heard the news from reporters.

Jon Gosselin is sure enjoying the single life, hanging out with pretty girls, not to mention celebrities like Michael Lohan (Lindsay Lohan’s father) and “Real Housewives of New York City” star Jill Zarin.

Kate Gosselin can’t be too happy with Jon’s recent endeavors, while he’s out and about she’s at home with the children. Hopefully when “Jon and Kate Plus 8″ resumes filming this August they’ll leave out all of Jon’s girlfriends.

“Medium” star Patricia Arquette, 41, was heading for divorce from husband Thomas Jane after she filed divorce papers in January, but this July 9th she had a change of heart asking Los Angeles judge to dismiss the divorce case.

Patricia Arquette has had many ups and downs when it comes to love. She has a son named Enzo whom she had in 1989 when she was with musician Paul Rossi. She married actor Nicholas Cage in 1995 and separated after only 9 months.

While dating actor Thomas Jane, 40, she found out she was pregnant during the filming of the movie “Holes” in which she played the role of “Kissin’ Kate Barlow.”

Patricia Arquette and Thomas Jane’s daughter “Harlow Olivia Calliope Jane” was born February 20, 2003, and the couple married in June of 2006 in Venice, Italy.

Hopefully, for their six-year-old daughter Harlow everything will work out for Patricia Arquette and Thomas Jane. You can see Patricia Arquette in the hit show “Medium” playing the role of psyhic “Allison Dubois” this fall on Friday nights at 9 p.m. on CBS.

Cyndi Lauper, 56, and actor David Thornton, 56, met during the filming of the 1991 movie “Off and Running.” The two became friends, but it didn’t take long for their friendship to spark into romance. The couple quickly fell head over heals for one another and married the same year on November 24, in Manhattan.

In true Cyndi Lauper style their wedding was anything but ordinary and Little Richard (who is an ordained minister) performed the marriage ceremony. Patti LaBelle performed at the wedding where “Pee-Wee Herman” was one of the guests. Although Cyndi Lauper had some great clothing ideas for the wedding, including go-go pants and heels, and dressing like a lighted Christmas tree, her friends and family convinced her to wear a traditional white dress.

Cyndi Lauper and David Thornton had a son, Declyn Wallace Thornton Lauper in November 17, 2009. The couple has been married nearly 20 years and their relationship (and creative juices) are still going strong. Lauper and Thornton even decided to make another movie together and the premiere of their new film “Here and There” took place on April 23, 2009.

Here’s the movie trailer for Cyndi Lauper/David Thornton’s  new movie “Here and There:”

Before she met David Thornton, Cyndi Lauper was in a serious relationship with David Wolff, who was also her manager. David Wolfe made appearances in many of Lauper’s videos at the height of her fame in the 1980’s, including “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.”  The couple never married and split up in 1989.

It’s funny how we don’t hear much news on the stars that have made their marriages work for so long. There are many celebrity couples who’ve successfully survived the ups and downs of living such a public life, and it’s nice to see that Cyndi Lauper and David Thornton are on that list.

Recently I was watching the “We Are The World” U.S.A. for Africa video and I noticed that Kenny Rogers was one of the A-List singers who participated in the recording of the song. Kenny Rogers was one of my mother’s favorite singers and I remember listening to his music a lot growing up as a child. I began wondering just what Kenny Rogers was up to these days and it turns out he’s married to Wanda Miller and raising 5 year-old identical twin boys Justin Charles and Jorden Edward.

Now 70-years-old, Kenny Rogers was born in 1938 in Houston, Texas. Kenny Rogers has been in the music industry for over 50 years and has also done his share of acting. He’s won dozens of awards during his amazing musical career.

Kenny Rogers has been married 5 times and has 5 children, Kenny Rogers Jr., Carole, Christopher, and the twins. Rogers married Wanda Miller in 1997, she is 28 years younger than Kenny. The couples twin boys were born July 6, 2004 when Kenny Rogers was 65.

Kenny Rogers is still working on his music, and a new duet with singer Dolly Parton is coming out this year. Here’s some classic “Kenny Rogers:”

29 year-old Richard Jefferson, an NBA basketball player had a serious case of “cold feet” when he decided to ditch his own wedding to Kesha Ni’Cole Nicols. The San Antonio Spurs team member did the unthinkable after changing his mind about getting married.

The posh 2 million dollar wedding was never canceled and confused guests arrived only to find out that Richard Jefferson had changed his mind. According to various news reports Richard Jefferson let the bride know it was over just before the wedding day, but Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols has yet to make a public statement on whether or not she was informed she was being dumped before her big day.

Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols is likely devastated, having her heartbroken in the worst way. The beautiful ex-Net dancer will have no trouble finding a new man to fill Richard Jefferson’s shoes, that is, if she can ever trust a man again!

Jon Gosselin didn’t waste any time after beginning divorce precedings just weeks ago, while Kate Gosselin was home with the kids Jon was spotted on vacation in St. Tropez with his brand new 22-year-old girlfriend Hailey Glassman.

Instead of choosing a girlfriend that would be a positive role model for his 8 children, he’s hanging around a girl who is known for her wild partying during her two years at University.

RadarOnline has photos of Hailey’s wild party days which include drinking and possibly drugs,  Hailey Glassman was even arrested for possession of marjiuana. Although Jon Gosselin has repeatedly told the media that he “puts his children first” Hailey Glassman isn’t exactly potential step-mother material.

Hailey Glassman is the daughter of the plastic surgeon who performed Kate Gosselin’s tummy tuck after she had the sextuplets. The Glassman’s ended up becoming friends with the Gosselins.

I used to feel a bit sorry for Jon Gosselin at one point, but now I think he’s just an idiot, and here’s why:

1) Parades around a new girlfriend just weeks after divorce announcement, even though he knows the world views him as a family man.

2) Chooses a girlfriend 10 years younger with a bad reputation, which is not a good choice for a father of 8.

3) Starts dating a girl that Kate has known for years as a family friend. (which means Kate and Jon likely would have met her when she was a teenager). That’s just so tacky.

Obviously Jon Gosselin isn’t a great decision maker, if he were perhaps he’d realize that there are plenty of “decent” beautiful women available that aren’t college age? I’m feeling more and more sorry for the Gosselin kids each day.

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo have broken up and news reports are saying that it’s Tony Romo that initiated the break-up. According to People.com Tony Romo dumped longtime girlfriend Jessica Simpson last week, the night before her 29th birthday.

The couples sudden split comes as a bit of shock because they seemed to be happy and in love. In the July 1, 2009 picture above Jessica Simpson, 29, and Tony Romo, 29, look like they are getting along great but apparently their relationship hasn’t been going as perfectly as it appears to outsiders.

People.com’s inside source revealed that Jessica Simpson loves Tony and is heartbroken by the break-up. Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson have been having a difficult time lately, especially with Romo’s hectic career and Jessica being busy with the upcoming  filming of  her new reality show “The Price Of Beauty” which will premiere in 2010.

Whatever the reason for their break-up, Tony Romo didn’t seem to be too unhappy while he partied at Hollywood’s “MyHouse” with a large group of his guy friends on Jessica Simpson’s birthday, Friday, July 10.

Jessica Simpson had been planning a “Barbie and Ken” themed birthday party but the day after her birthday, July 11, 2009 she sent out a Tweet message on Twitter saying:

“Barbie party didn’t happen, but I turned 29 and feel like I am on top of the world yelling I LOVE GETTING OLDER!”

On Sunday July 12, 2009 Jessica sent out another insightful Twitter Tweet that showed her current state of optimism saying:

“Everyone needs to know that hope floats … grab the strings and pull it back to you.”

Strangely enough, Jessica Simpson’s ex-husband Nick Lache, 35, also went through a public break-up this summer with girlfriend Vanessa Minnillo, 28.

The summer of 2009 has brought and unusually high amount of celebrity deaths and celebrity break-ups. It definitely doesn’t seem like a very good summer for the superstars. Hopefully Jessica Simpson will have better luck with her next relationship.

Kevin Jonas, 21,  from the “Jonas Brothers” band asked his girlfriend of two years Danielle Deleasa to marry him on July 1, 2009. Deleasa, 22, said yes but there’s been no official wedding plans made just yet.

Many busy music and television stars meet the love of their lives while at work, but not in Kevin Jonas’ case. He saw Danielle Deleasa, who worked as a hairdresser, walking along a beach with a flower in her hair and it was love at first sight. The couple began dating shortly afterwards, and the rest is history.

Kevin’s parents approve of the engagement, saying that “their hearts are filled with joy” and that “it’s a blessing that she will be joining our family.”

Kevin Jonas is preparing to lose his “purity ring” as his fiance Danielle has gained a gorgeous ring featuring 210 round pave diamonds. The engagement ring was specially designed by Kevin Jonas.

This means that there is one less Jonas brother for fans to dream of marrying, but all of Danielle Deleasa’s dreams are coming true, how many women can say that their future husband was one People magazine’s choices for “sexiest men alive” in 2008? Now that’s hot!

As Farrah Fawcett was being laid to rest someone overheard Ryan O’Neal say “Goodbye Babe.” Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett have spent much of their lives together. Actors Farrah Fawcett and Ryan O’Neal, 68, spent the years between 1982 and 1997 together, and after several years apart reunited romantically in 2001. The couple had their son Redmond O’Neal in 1985.

Ryan O’Neal was married twice, once to Joanna Cook Moore and also to Leigh Taylor-Young. He has three other children aside from Redmond. He is also father to actress Tatum O’Neal, and sons Griffin and Patrick O’Neal.

Farrah Fawcett was also married before to “The Million Dollar Man” actor Lee Majors. The couple were married during the height of their fame, from 1973 to 1982.

Even though Ryan O’Neal and Farrah Fawcett were so in love with one another, the couple never married. Ryan O’Neal asked Farrah Fawcett to marry him this June of 2009 while she was very ill with cancer. Fawcett agreed to marry O’Neal but was never well enough to follow through with wedding plans before her death.

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick welcomed their twins into the world on June 22, 2009 when their surrogate gave birth.

Today,  a representive of the celebrity couple announced that they were naming their twin girls Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge.

Elwell and Hodge are both Parker family names. I love the names that the couple chose for their new baby twins, they are very sweet and traditional.

The Brodericks also have a son James Wilkie who is six-years-old. Congratulations to the Parker/Broderick family!

According to People.com Jon and Kate Gosselin have officially filed for a divorce at a Courthouse in Doylestow, Pa. The divorce papers were filed today, Monday June 22, 2009, the same day that the Jon & Kate Plus 8 “special announcement” show is scheduled to air.

The commercial promoting the big announcement show has gloom and doom written all over it, so it won’t be much of a surprise to viewers if the Gosselin’s officially announce that they are divorcing this evening during the hour long episode of the show.

The Gosselins have gone through the tabloid ringer over the past few months which has led to speculation that they were heading for a divorce. The couple who once had some on screen chemistry now seem uncaring and distant, barely even looking at one another when they are together.

Although Kate and Jon Gosselin have been experiencing relationship problems for quite a while now it wasn’t until May 2009 that they publicly announced they were having marital difficulties. The couple came clean about their problems shortly after Jon Gosselin was caught with Deanna Hummel, the 23-year-old woman whom he’s been accused of having an affair with.

Next it was Kate who was accused of having an affair with her personal bodyguard, a rumor that she’s continuously denied over the past couple of months.

We’ll have to wait until tonight’s episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ to find out if a divorce is what the two will be announcing but after People.com’s report I would be surprised if Jon and Kate’s announcement is anything other than the two officially splitting.

Update - June 23 2009 - The Gosselin’s announced during their Monday night show that they are separating and that divorce papers have been filed.

Here’s the announcement from the June 22, 2009 episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8:”

Jon and Kate Gosselin are definitely a family in turmoil, but I wasn’t expecting to see those words flashing across the screen during their latest Jon & Kate Plus 8 promo video. The commercial is creating a huge buzz about what the big announcement could be.

According to Radar Online the Gosselin’s will be announcing their upcoming divorce. This makes sense considering the recent affair rumors and the fact that the couple just spent their 10th wedding anniversary apart. But you never know, the whole mysterious announcement just might just be a ratings grab for the show.

If the parents of sextuplets plus twins were smart they’d announce that they’re shutting down the cameras and going into marriage counselling for the sake of their kids, and their sanity.

Jon and Kate Gosselin will be letting viewers know what their “big announcement” is on their special one hour episode of “Jon & Kate Plus 8 airing Monday, June 22, 2009 at 9/8c on TLC.

After five years of married life Billy Joel and wife number three, Katie Lee Joel are ending their marriage. According to recent rumors the couples separation is an amicable one and the two are planning on remaining friendly. Katie Lee, a food critic, chef, and TV host is 32 years younger than Billy, when they married the couples extravagent wedding made headlines.

There hasn’t been any official reason given for the break-up but I’m guessing that compatibility might be a factor since  Katie Lee is 27 and Billy Joel is 60 years-old. Seriously, how much could the two have in common? I’m betting that Billy Joel will eventually move on to yet another gorgeous wife, but he’s probably going to miss Katie Lee’s special skills in the kitchen.
