Yesterday it was announced that Kate Winslet and her husband of seven years, Sam Mendes, were divorcing. As we all know that if you win an Oscar there is a curse, it seems for women on top of their career dying they tend to end up divorcing. Here are some of the famous ones:
Benjamin Bratt was the lucky man on Julia Roberts’ arm when she won the Oscar for her role in “Erin Brockovich” in 2001. Three months later their relationship was over—he went on to marry Talisa Soto, while she’s had three kids with husband Danny Moder. She’s yet to be nominated for a second time, so hopefully this relationship is safe.
The second actress to fall victim to this trend? Halle Berry, who won Best Actress in 2002 for “Monster’s Ball.” She’d been dating hot musician Eric Benet for years, and the two got hitched in 2001. Shortly after winning her Best Actress Oscar, Benet started cheating on her and allegedly went to sex addiction rehab. But it wasn’t enough—the couple separated in 2003 and divorced in 2005.
Infamously, Hilary Swank forgot to thank her hubby Chad Lowe, brother of Rob, when she won Best Actress in 2000 for her role as Brandon Teena in “Boys Don’t Cry.” Still, Chad seemed ultra supportive of her, and they were the ultimate down-to-earth Hollywood couple. They had just crossed the 13-years-together mark when Hilary won again in 2005, for “Million Dollar Baby,” and she made sure to thank him, first thing. The two divorced a year later. Rumors circulated that he couldn’t handle the level of success she’d found.
Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe met at her 21st birthday party—she supposedly walked up to him and said, “I think you’re my birthday present”—and got married less than a year later. Reese had already popped out two kidlets seven years later, when she won Best Actress for her role in “Walk the Line,” and the pair seemed forevers. Nope. They split eight months after she gave her acceptance speech. Many assume Ryan was cheating on her with Abbie Cornish.
Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise had already shocked the world by getting divorced when she won the Best Actress Oscar for portraying Virginia Woolf in “The Hours.” But she was clearly still having a hard time with the split at the time of her win. “He was huge; still is. To me, he was just Tom, but to everybody else, he is huge,” she told Ladies Home Journal. “But he was lovely to me. And I loved him. I still love him.” After rumored flings with Jude Law and Robbie Williams, Nicole allegedly gave Best Actor winner Adrien Brody her number backstage at the Oscars, and the two dated for a little while. She, of course, ended up getting remarried to Keith Urban.
Charlize Theron‘s relationship with actor Stuart Townsend seemed solid when she awed the Academy with her portrayal of serial killer Aileen Wuornos and won the Oscar. The two never officially tied the knot because they were waiting for same-sex couples to have the right to do the same. But Townsend said, “I don’t need a certificate or the state or the church to say otherwise. So no there’s no big official story on a wedding, but we are married … I consider her my wife and she considers me her husband.” Until the two sadly split up in January.
I guess that means Sandra Bullock should be worrying about her marriage to Jesse James could end up with the same faith since she won the Oscar this year.

It’s been nearly 3 weeks since we had last had some good semi nude photos of Alessandra Ambrosio, which in my opinion is far too long.
Luckily for us though, Alessanda is never one to disappoint or keep us waiting too long so here we go with more photos of the supermodel in the new issue of Elle France.
While these photos aren’t exactly showing her naked body at least Alessanda Ambrosio is showing off her nipples in some of these photos through her bikini.

Miley Cyrus thinks that you and I are wasting our time right now, me because I am writing this and you because you are reading this. You see Miley thinks that the internet is a complete and utter waste of time.
Miley, who originally said she deleted her Twitter account because her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth asked her to, tells MovieLine that she hates the internet because she feels it is useless. I wonder what her one time Twitter buddy Spencer Pratt thinks about this since he gave up his reality career to patrol the internet.
On kids using the internet: “I’m telling kids, don’t go on the internet, it’s dangerous, it’s not fun, it wastes your life, and you should be outside playing sports or something.”
On her hate of the world wide web: “I’m a lot less on my phone, I’m a little bit more social. I have a lot more real friends as opposed to friends who are on the internet who I’m talking to — which is like not cool, not safe, not fun and most likely not real. I think everything is just better when you’re not so wrapped up in [the internet]. I just think it’s kind of lame, I feel like I hang out with my friends and they’re so busy taking pictures of what they’re doing and putting them on Facebook that they’re not really enjoying what they’re doing. You’re going to look back and have a million pictures, but you’re not going to be in any of them. Because you’re not having fun, you’re too busy clicking away. So I think just enjoy the moment you’re in, and stop telling people about it. Just enjoy it.”
On deleting her twitter account: ““I was kind of, like, tired of telling everyone what I’m doing, I hate when I read things and celebrities are complaining like, ‘I have no personal life.’ I’m like, well that’s because you write everything that you’re doing. So I was that person who was like, ‘I’m so sad. I have no real, normal life, everyone knows what I’m doing.’ And I’m like, well that’s my own fault because I’m telling everyone, And then I’d tweet, ‘I’m here,’ and I’d wonder why a thousand fans are outside the restaurant. Well, hello, I just told them. So I’m just, like, kind of thinking doesn’t really make a lot of sense. Everything I’m saying is not really going with what I’m putting on the internet.
On one hand I can see her point, when you’re away from the internet and computers for a while it does feel a bit relieving but at the same time the internet is very useful when you need to look up stuff or just escape the every day bullshit. Then again, this is all coming from the woman who had a million and ten semi nude photos up on her MySpace pages, also how many times can Miley Cyrus say the word like?

Paula Abdul will be taking her vicodin party to “Star Search”, it has been announced.
After getting the axe from “American Idol”, Paula and whatever is in her Coke cup is heading to ABC for a “Star Search” reboot.
Paula is in the process of finalizing a deal to headline an updated version of the hit show for ABC. Reportedly, her role will be a combination of hosting and judging the new talent competition. Just when you think that she’s holding on for some “X Factor” hope, she signs up for this. Which is basically the same idea wrapped up in a different name….
The network was said to be wooing Paula ever since she announced her departure from “Idol”. After her departure, it was rumored that she would be taking part in “Dancing With The Stars”, but nothing ever came from that.
What do you think of Paula’s new job? Think it’s a wise career move? Or should she have held out for the bigger bucks working with Simon Cowell?

I present to you Seattle’s Pastor Mark Driscoll, a super cool laid back kind of dude, who sports tattoos and spouts crazy ideas about fictional movies set on fictional worlds starring fictional creatures being the work of Satan.
I know that when I went to see Avatar, I was immediately impressed by the beauty and grand scale of Pandora, but a bit less impressed by the storyline. However, after listening to Pastor Mark, I can finally come to terms with the strong desire to bite the heads off of kittens and sodomize goats that I felt as soon as I left the theater. Not saying that I did.
Well, I didn’t bite any kittens.
Satan made me do it.
Here is just a fresh squeeze of insanity juice for you, if you don’t want to watch the video:
“It presents a false mediator with a witch… We have a false Jesus. And the visuals are amazing, because Satan wants you to emotionally connect with the lie. Oh, the problem is not that I need a savior, the problem is that I need to live in tune with creation. This is all Easter garbage-ism. …We’re a very creative church. I’ve got three Tivos. We just don’t like Satan.”
Avatar is set to be re-released this summer, not just to make more money than it already has (which is somewhere along the lines of fifty bucks, I think), but to convert the masses into screaming, drooling, kitten eating sodomites. Now that’s a plan that I can get down with.
By the way, I don’t have any Tivos, and I love Satan. So blow me, Mark.

Kate Winslet and her husband Sam Mendes have announced that their marriage of seven years is over.
The couple broke up earlier this year but they didn’t announce exactly when they decided to separate, nor have they announced if they have begun divorce proceedings have started. They issued the following statement through their lawyer today:
“Kate and Sam are saddened to announce that they separated earlier this year. The split is entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement. Both parties are fully committed to the future joint parenting of their children.”
The couple who got married in 2003 have a son, Joe (6-years-old), together and Winslet has a 9-year-old daughter, Mia, from her first marriage with Jim Threapleton.
You know that all the Titanic fangirls are praying to god that Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio finally get together.

Spencer Pratt has decided to do us all the biggest favor ever and get the hell off our TV screens because he has decided to quit The Hills for a while, to focus on his new calling – fighting cyber crime. I kid you not.
Spencer, who’s currently studying software engineering and encryption at USC, tells People all about his new career path with the American Defense Enterprises for their cyber security division and we can all thank President Obama for this.
“In the last few months I have discovered a new passion and new purpose to my life, with this in mind, I have decided to take a break from my obligations to MTV’s The Hills and discontinue filming any more episodes for this current season. Upon learning of President Obama’s declaration that the ‘cyber threat is one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation,’ I have decided to refocus my energy and devote my full resources to helping America face this and other unprecedented challenges.
My new mission is this: To do my part in maintaining the technological superiority of the U.S. military and prevent emerging technologies from threatening our nation’s security. With that being said, I am saddened to take this break from filming MTV’s The Hills. At this time, however I feel I would not be honoring my country or myself if I were to continue this endeavor when I have the opportunity and the ability to assist our nation against these prevalent threats.”
Sadly his wife Heidi Montag will continue to torture us by appearing on the TV show despite her husband leaving. I don’t know whether to be thrilled that Spencer Pratt will no longer be on my TV screens or be appalled that he will be patrolling the internet.

Here is three pieces of news about Lady GaGa rolled into one, how excited are you? First up we will talk about the following video in which it’s obvious that she needs to take a break and go on a healthy vacation.
During a performance of Bad Romance, the closing song to her Monster Ball tour, in New Zealand she could barely stand and ended up singing half the song on her hands and knees while she swung her head around. Now I’ve been to this tour and it is pretty amazing but this is not the kind of performance she gave which makes it obvious that she is in dire need of a rest.
In her second piece of news CNN reported over the weekend that MTV have decided that they are going to ban her Telephone music video, which you can see here, because they think it’s too provocative. This is not the case at all according to a press release from MTV.
The press release said … “MTV did not ban Lady Gaga and Beyoncé’s ‘Telephone’ video — in fact, we premiered it on Friday, March 12, on-air and online at MTV.com, two days before this story was falsely reported, fans can continue to catch the video as we repeat it on-air and online.”
What I found hilarious about the whole rumor is that if it was true … would MTV actually think they are still relevant enough to the music world to ban videos, does anybody even watch MTV anymore? The highest rated program on MTV gets at most 4 million viewers, while since premiering on Thursday the Telephone video has had over 15 million viewers.
As for the video itself, there’s nothing provocative in this video at all in my opinion and what I find more offending is the amount of product-placement they have decided to throw in.
Lady GaGa will not be taking a break anytime soon though because her calendar is completely booked, which leads me to the last piece of news – she has just announced tour dates for her second U.S. leg of the Monster Ball tour, which you can see after the jump.

Amanda Seyfried is in the April issue of Esquire Magazine and she is looking sexier than ever, possibly even sexier than going nude in her new movie.
Amanda also does an interview in which she tells them that she is excited to be leaving her gig on Big Love because it means she can move to New York.
On moving to New York: “I sacrificed six years in L. A., I did my job out here. I made the contacts and did the work I had to do. But I came here at eighteen. I’m out of here at twenty-four, and I feel lucky it wasn’t longer.”
On taking these photos: “I learned a long time ago that photographs are not theater. This is not acting. It’s pretending. I pretend I’m looking at a man who is looking right at me, a man who sees me as exceptionally clever and adventurous.”
I wish that I could be the photographer to be taking these photos of Amanda Seyfried so I could have her staring at me like that.

I love Cameron Diaz, I think she is beautiful, talented and hilarious. Unfortunately, some creature straight out of a bad sci-fi movie has apparently taken over her body with the intention of making her look like the old hag from Army of Darkness.
Please readers, join with me in support of saving this poor woman from the beast inside her. Be it a devil, a spirit, a body snatcher of some sort, or just Backstreet Boy withdrawals… let us band together to help eradicate this stain that has defiled the face of what once was glorious.
Several days ago, TMZ reported that Charlie Sheen was ready and willing to cop to a plea agreement in relation to the Christmas Day ass-whuppin’ and knife pullin’ shenanigans with his wife, Brooke Mueller. The prosecution in Aspen, CO didn’t seem too enthused about offering a plea agreement, but it turns out that it might not matter.
Brooke Mueller is currently in rehab and does not want to testify against Sheen for the assault, so it should be easy for him to stay out of jail, right?
Nay!
One of Charlie boy’s conditions of bail is to not indulge in the wonderfulness that is alcohol or drugs, and since it is Charlie Sheen, we all know damned well that he has. The judge knows it too. Apparently, all the judge has to do is ask Sheen if he has consumed any drugs or alcohol, and old Charlie is in a pickle. If he says yes, he’s going to jail when his bail is revoked. If he says no, he going to jail for perjury.
But wait, you say… how can you prove that Charlie Sheen has been using alcohol and/or drugs since being released on bail?
Simple, he’s in frickin’ rehab right now.

Paris Hilton is currently on vacation in Mexico, which makes me incredibly jealous because it is currently raining like crazy here, when she decided to do a bit of topless sunbathing.
There is not much that can be said about Paris sunbathing topless because we’ve all seen her naked before, if you look closely at some of the photos you may see a little something more under her bikini pants.
Corey Haim’s death is now under investigation — and has been linked to an “illegal and massive prescription drug ring.”
State Attorney General Jerry Brown says his office is conducting a probe of Haim’s death because an unauthorized prescription in his name was found during a probe of fraudulent drug-prescription pads in San Diego.
Brown said the prescription drug ring under investigation operates by ordering prescription drug pads from authorized vendors using stolen doctor identities — i.e., identity fraud.
The pads are sold on the street to prescription drug addicts or dealers.
The A.G. notes that many of the doctors whose names are printed on the forms are unaware that his or her identity has been stolen.
All these celebrities dying over prescription drugs, it’s so sad!

The Hit for Haiti exhibition match at Indian Wells started out great with a well played women’s doubles match. The men’s doubles match was a dream match between Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Pete Sampras, and Roger Federer.
Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi got into a very uncomfortable confrontation halfway through the set, and the match was very tense the rest of the night.
Agassi started teasing Sampras about not being loose and not having fun, so Sampras decided to have fun by imitating Agassi’s walk. Agassi then fired back at Sampras for being cheap because he tipped a parking valet attendant only one dollar at some point in the past.
Sampras was visibly upset the rest of the night, and the match became very tense and turned a fun charity event into a catfight between two legends.
Agassi and Sampras seem to still be bitter rivals, and definitely have some issues to work out. This is a far contrast between Federer and Nadal. They were unforunately caught in the middle of Agassi and Sampras’s fued, but handled themselves with true class during the event.
This is one of the most uncomfortable situations I have ever seen on live TV.
Agassi started it! Given the event was for charity, I would think they could have put the attitudes on a shelf for the day.
