Superstar Couples

Just about everyone in the world now knows the names and faces of Michael Jackson’s three children Paris Katherine, Prince Michael, and Prince Michael II who is nicknamed blanket. But they might not be the only Jackson children.

Rumors of Michael Jackson’s “secret love child” have surfaced over the past couple of weeks. But what started out sounding like a ridiculous story just may end up being the truth.

According to Michael Jackson’s father Joseph there really is a fourth child, and that child is believed to be Omer Bhatti, a 25-year-old Norwegian man who spent plenty of time staying with Michael Jackson over the years.

Omer Bhatti has publicly denied the rumors but there are plenty of reasons to believe he is actually Michael Jackson’s child. Not only does Omer resemble Micheal Jackson in his early years and have dancing talent, he was also seated among Michael’s brothers and sisters at the Memorial Service.

Bhatti not only gets along well with the Jackson family but he’s been accepted into the Jackson family. He’s grown up playing with Michael Jackson’s children, nieces, and nephews, and according to some news sources Omer even referred to Michael Jackson as his father on at least one occasion.

Unless a DNA test is performed we may never know if Omer Bhatti is Michael Jackson’s son, but it sure seems like certain members of the Jackson family have already made up their minds about Omer, not to mention the countless Jackson fans who are insisting that look-a-like Omer must be his son.

Here’s a special home movie video clip taken by the Bhatti family in 1998. Omer Bhatti is included in Michael Jackson’s family Christmas celebration. What do you think? Is Omer Bhatti Michael Jackson’s oldest child or is this just another hyped up rumor?

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.

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!

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.

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.

Rumor has it that 32-year-old James William Van Der Beek Jr. and his wife 32-year-old actress Heather McComb have separated. It was James Vander Beek’s representative that alerted the media to the separation and impending divorce of the once happy couple. The separation occurred around two months ago and the couple who has no children have remained friends.

James Van Der Beek is well known for his portrayal of Dawson Leery on the television series “Dawson’s Creek.” Vanderbeek married Heather McComb on July 2003 in Malibu after the shows final season.

Heather McComb has been acting since the age of 2 and has appeared in over a dozen films including “Don’s Plum” and “Shark Swam.” Over the past decade McComb has made numerous television appearances on hit TV shows such as “CSI,” “Without a Trace,”  and “Prison Break.”

Both James Van Der Beek and Heather McComb practice the Kabbalah faith and are regular visitors to the Kabbalah Centre. Some other celebrities who practice the Kabbalah faith include Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Naomi Campbell.

Unlike most celebrities these days Vander Beek and McComb did not marry on a whim. They enjoyed a 17-month long engagement and held a romantic outdoor ceremony and reception with 120 guests. Several of James Van Der Beek’s “Dawson’s Creek” co-stars were in attendance. On screen love interest “Michelle Williams” and “Dawson Leery’s” screen mom “Mary-Margaret Humes” were there to share the special day.

Heather McComb and James Van Der Beek had separate wedding cakes that reflected their very different tastes. At the time of their wedding some journalists joked that the separate cakes were a sign of future marital problems.

Here’s a 2007 interview clip featuring actress Heather McComb:

It`s been a busy week for celebrity couples. It started out with Heidi Pratt being rushed to the hospital from the set of reality show “I`m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here“with her husband Spencer by her side and hasn`t slowed down since.

Here are some of the top celebrity couple stories that are making headlines today.

Last but not least, what would this crazy celebrity couple week be without the pregnant man giving birth to his second child this morning. That`s right Thomas Beattie welcomed a healthy baby boy into his unique family. Thankfully the second time around he didn`t make any major television appearances, at least not yet anyway.

Jon and Kate’s season premiere show of reality show “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ gave fans a peek into the disastrous state of their marriage. Since the couple has been accused of cheating on one another their already bumpy relationship became rocky. There’s even been rumors of the couple living and open marriage and the Jon is living in an apartment above the garage.

In the season premiere episode of the show the couple barely spoke to one another during the sextuplets birthday party but they did answer a few questions about their relationship within the hour. Jon showed little emotion and looked pretty defeated as he said that he was “there for the kids.” Kate became teary eyed as she talked about how the divorce rate of couples with multiple children triples.

Both Kate and Jon Gosselin admitted that they don’t know where they stand when it comes to the marriage, it was really sad to watch the two and the way they are now interacting with one another. They both look so unhappy when in previous show seasons they joked with one another playfully.

I wonder if this couple who is known for bickering back and forth would have survived if they’d never featured their family on television. Is it the pressure of raising eight small children or the intense scrutiny of the public watching their every move that’s caused added tension.

If the divorce rate between married couples with multiples is already triple that of an ordinary family than adding in fame, fortune, and paparazzi can’t be good thing. There are many fans of the show hoping that these two will somehow make it work, whether it be getting therapy, shutting down their reality show, or hey, even speaking to one another about how they feel.

Only a week after appearing on CNN’s Larry King Live show in defense of her husband’s affair allegations, Kate Gosselin has decided she’s not so sure that Jon Gosselin is innocent after all.

Kate Gosselin is featured on the front cover of this week’s People Magazine with a headline that reads “Jon and Kate a marriage in crisis - We might split up.”

In her interview with People magazine she said that she and Jon’s relationship has been a private struggle for months now. In regards to the possibility of her husband Jon Gosselin having an affair 23-year-old teacher Deanna Hummel, Kate said “I remember where I was the first time I heard her name. It’s one of those things where you can try to make it go away, but there’s blaring, red flashing lights.”

Many Jon & Kate Plus 8 fans are wondering what affect Jon and Kate’s marital problems will have on their children and whether or not theire show will continue if the couple decides to divorce. The 5th season of the show will continue as scheduled on May 25, 2009.

37-year-old champion cyclist Lance Armstrong is finally revealing what exactly led to the break-up between he and girlfriend Sheryl Crow, 47. In his new book “Lance” he talks about Cheryl Crow wanting to marry and have children but he just wasn’t ready to begin a new family at the time.

The couple even went to counselling at the time to try to work things out but the two were at different places in their lives and wanted very different things. Lance Armstrong’s latest “tell all” book will be out this July 2009.

Lance Armstrong married his ex-wife Kirsten Richards on May 1, 1998. The couple had three children together, a boy named Luke, and a set of twins, Isabelle and Grace.  The marriage ended when they filed for divorce in 2003 and Armstrong began dating Sheryl Crow around that same time period.

Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong became engaged to married in 2005 and to everyone’s surprise broke up in February 2006. Fans of Armstrong and Crow were shocked by the sudden split because the couple seemed to be so much in love.

After the break-up Lance Armstrong dated fashion designer Tory Burch and actress Kate Hudson. In December of 2008 Armstrong announced that his girlfriend Anna Hansen was pregnant. Lance Armstrong believed he wasn’t able to conceive children naturally because of the cancer treatments he’s received in the past. The “miracle baby” is due in June 2009.

Sheryl Crow publicly announced that she adopted  a baby boy she named Wyatt Steven Crow on May 11, 2007. Wyatt was born on April 29, 2007. She and her son live on a farm near Nashville, Tennessee and the singer remains single.  I’m curious to know what Sheryl Crow thinks about her ex’s book and the fact he’s including her personal information in it.

John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston have broken up and gotten back together atleast a zillion times but it looks like this time the couple is permanently over.

John Mayer has been seen hanging around with new girlfriend, 24-year-old model Scheana Marie Jancan. (Pictured on left).

It looks like Jennifer Aniston is finally moving on too, she’s rumored to be dating sexy Scottish actor Gerard Butler who starred in the 2008 movies “Nim’s Island” and “RocknRolla.”

There’s no better way for Aniston to get over Mayer than to spend time with a gorgeous new man. Hopefully he’ll have all of the family qualities Aniston is looking for in a boyfriend. Butler looks like major husband material if you ask me.

Lindsay Lohan appeared on today’s April 23, 2009 “Ellen Degeneres Show” where she shared her feelings on her recent break-up with girlfriend Samantha Ronson (a.k.a. D.J. Sam).

According to Lohan, Ronson didn’t really break-up with her but basically just suddenly disappeared from her life after their last big argument. There was no official break-up but it’s pretty apparent that Samantha Ronson is moving on with her life without Lindsay Lohan.

Lindsay has been handling the very public break-up just fine and is staying positive. She’s also been handling the endless tabloid reports with grace and has even used the break-up to show her fun and humorous side by posting an “eHarmony” parody video online.

During her interview with Ellen Degeneres, Lohan mentioned that she still hopes her and Sam will get back together down the road. But I’m pretty sure that Lohan fans everywhere are hoping that these two will not reunite. A cute couple for a fling maybe but for a long term relationship Lindsay could raise the bar a tad, don’t you think? After all she’s a very talented actress and let’s not forget gorgeous too.

Comedian and talk show host Ellen Degeneres understands what Lindsay Lohan is going through right now because she’s been there herself. In 2000 Ellen’s girlfriend Anne Heche broke up with her and later married cameraman Coley Laffoon. The tabloids couldn’t get enough of Ellen’s break-up with the Soap Opera actress and Ellen took three years away from her career and the glare of the spotlight until things settled down and she felt together again.

Lindsay Lohan hasn’t decided to take time away from her career or even the paparazzi but instead she wants to continue to focus on her work as a producer and get back into her acting career once again.

Turns out that Lindsay Lohan has a great sense of humor about her recent break-up with girlfriend Samantha Ronson (a.k.a. DJ Sam). She made this humorous video mocking  not only her love life but also her troubles with rehab and the law.

After the break-up Lindsay decided to get a tattoo with the Marilyn Monroe quote “Everyone’s a star and deserves the right to twinkle.” I hope the newly single Lohan keeps up her great attitude. She looks fantastic and I think that it’s great she can poke fun at herself and the tabloids. Check out the video which is originally from the website FunnyOrDie.com:
