May 30th Is Here!

Today is finally the day to "get carried away." I just did and what a ride it was! A very emotional rollercoaster I must say! No spoilers for those out there who haven't seen it yet, but oh so exciting and oh so fabulous! Right now I'm thinking my weekend might include seeing it over and over again. And no, I'm really not kidding!

Question of the Day: What Gives You Instant Gratification?

I’ve been challenged to answer this curious question … Here are five fabulous thrills that make me feel gratified and confident. And then I encourage you to comment with your own answers!


1. Snagging an interview. Be it an A-list star or a C-list socialite, grabbing someone on the red carpet or inside an event for a quickie Q&A is always exciting. (Okay, it’s more gratifying when it’s someone you really admire and they give you awesome answers.) Really, it’s such a feeling of accomplishment! See me interview my four favorite gals HERE ... Shameless self promotion.)


2. Dishing the dirt. When you hear a piece of juicy gossip, it’s hard not to share. And I adore when others join the conversation. I love it when I get comments on my blog, emails in my inbox, and fan mail to my address. (Okay, fan mail only comes from my mom … but it’s still much appreciated.)

3. A cuddle with my puppy. I mean talk about instant gratification. I feed her, she thanks me with kisses. I play with her, she rewards me with love-bites. I scold her, and she still nuzzles into my neck. She's just the cutest toy poodle ever. (Her name, by the way, is Reese Witherspoon.)

What gives you instant gratification? Comment!

Quote Of The Day

"As far as people thinking I'm pretty or something, I don't know. It's amazing what a haircut and forgetting to shave will do." - David Cook on his newfound popularity.

Dan And Serena Live On

Although Gossip Girl has sadly ended for the summer, (wiping away tears as I speak) I'm not sure if Blake Lively and Penn Badgley got the memo. Though their characters broke it off in the season finale, the real-life couple seems to still be going strong as they were spotted in NYC's West Village this past week.

Ashlee Simpson No More (And Def. Expecting!)

Due to her recent marriage to rocker Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson has made a very traditional change in her life. She is now Ashlee Wentz! Professionally though, she'll go by Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. She says, "I think that that's something that a woman should do when they're marring a man. It's a tradition that I think is a great tradition."

Oh and a little fyi, just a few moments ago, I saw the confirmation that everyone has been waiting for. The Wentzes are preggers!

"While many have speculated this, we wanted to wait until after the first trimester to officially confirm that we are expecting our first child. This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family." - Mr. and Mrs. Pete Wentz.

Welcome Home Girls!

Last night's HUGE event brought out NYC's favorite girls to Radio City for the highly-anticipated SATC premiere. Along with some of NYC's own, many a fan and not to mention the rain, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha returned home to an amazing reception and an outpouring of love.

With a front-row on-the-pink-carpet view, I witnessed everything from the flash that was Ashley Olsen and Jennifer Hudson's short bob (she was even being touched up on the carpet in-between interviews!) to SJP's GORGEOUS dress (she said she thought it looked like the Empire State building, how NYC of you Carrie Bradshaw!) and Patricia Field's radiant hair and personality. Lynn Cohen, who plays Magda, was adorable and even commented on the girl power of our fabulous video slash interview team! Jason Lewis was whisked by as he walked into the venue, but did look back to smile, so don't worry Smith, I forgive you. The Donald stopped for a brief moment as did Cynthia Nixon, Willie Garson, (who just adopted a son, aw!) Donna Karan, Fergie and Idina Menzel. The mob scene that was NYC last night once again showed how excited this city is for their SATC!

After the premiere, we were able to get a sneak preview of the after-party held at the MoMA. With the Swarovski-crystal couch, the trees wrapped in pink lights, bouquets of flowers, the music (deejayed by Samantha Ronson, and no Lindsay was not there), the appetizers and a sample of the "Carried Away" cosmo, the scene was more than glamourous!

More deets to come!

Bachchans visit Siddhivinayak temple

Amitabh Bachchan , along with his family members, visited Siddhivinayak temple at Prabhadevi in central Mumbai on 27th May to offer prayers to Lord Ganesh.




























Amitabh Bachchan, his son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya left their home 'Jalsa' in Juhu, a western suburb, at 0130 hrs and walked to the temple barefoot. They reached there around 0430 hrs to participate in the 'Kakad' arti (before sunrise), sources said.

A serpentine queue of devotees, who had come from near and distant areas of the city, had to wait for over an hour when the Bachchans were offering prayers to the deity, they said.

Every Tuesday, devotees visit the temple in large numbers to offer prayers and some even walk several miles from their homes to the temple to reach on time for the 'Kakad arti' as Tuesday is considered ''Lord Ganesha's day''.

According to sources, Mr Bachchan, sporting a grey track suit, drove from his bungalow 'Prateeksha' to his other residence 'Jalsa' where he was joined by Abhishek and his wife Aishwarya to walk towards the temple. They were accompanied by Sikander Kher and director Apoorva Lakhia.

Bachchan's wife Jaya Bachchan joined them at the temple.

Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek and Aishwarya have acted together for the first time after Abhi-Ash's wedding, in the soon to be released film, Sarkar Raj which is directed by maverick director Ram Gopal Varma.

Bollywood starlet Tania Zaetta in sex scandal

Bollywood starlet Tania Zaetta has been accused of having sex with soldiers while on a tour to entertain troops in Afghanistan. She has featured in several Bollywood films including the recent 'Salaam Namaste' and 'Mr. Black, Mr. White'. (Click to enlarge images)


























Zaetta co-hosted the popular television show 'Who Dares Wins'. She also has a kickboxing exercise video called Tania Zaetta's Box.

Tania Zaetta's strenuous denial that she slept with elite special forces soldiers was backed up by a fellow entertainer, who said the tour was so hectic that there would not even have been time for a liaison. Zaetta said she had contacted lawyers and would consider suing the Australian defence department for leaking unsubstantiated rumours that she had behaved in an improper way during a tour of Australian military bases last month.

The claims emerged in a government document prepared for the defence minister, Joel Fitzgibbon, and leaked to the press.

A high profile publicity agent she has hired said the impact of the allegations on her career in India could cost her A$1 million (£480,000).

"She spent 10 years going into that marketplace," her celebrity public relations agent told Australian newspapers.

"I'd say it will cost her seven figures - definitely a million dollars. It's very serious. Sexual allegations even in this country are bad but over there, it's abhorrent."

"How does a supposed document ... that I don't know about get leaked in the first place? That's a little bit concerning about the security of the country," Miss Zaetta told Channel Nine television.

"It's complete made-up lies. I feel I am owed an apology. Not only my family name but my career that I have worked very hard for is at stake here."

"When things like this get into countries like India it's not taken lightly," she told News Ltd newspapers. "Sex scandals - rumoured, alleged, bad Chinese whispers, whatever it is - aren't taken lightly in a country like that."

Asked if she had been alone with any soldiers during the 17-day tour of Afghanistan and Iraq, the London-based Australian actress said: "You were never alone with any soldiers - you were in full view of everybody else all the time."

Her account of the tour being busy was corroborated by a musician from an Australian rock band, the Wolverines.

The defence department has "apologised unreservedly" to Ms Zaetta for disclosing the claims.

The department said only: "We are unable to comment as the investigation is ongoing."

Kevin Rudd, the prime minister, said Miss Zaetta was entitled to pursue legal action. He said the defence department was conducting two inquiries, one trying to find out what, if anything, happened in Afghanistan and the other looking at how the document containing the allegations was handled.

Australia has around 1,000 troops in Afghanistan.

Lindsay And Samantha

Brangelina isn't the only one making headlines in Cannes. Lindsay Lohan and her BFF, deejay Samantha Ronson shared a kiss on board of Diddy's yacht in the South of France yesterday. Affectionate with each other all night, holding hands and getting cozy, the two still say they are just friends. The best of friends apparently.

Michelle On The Red Carpet

Michelle Williams is stunning as she returns to the public eye! Seen on the red carpet with her usual gracious smile, the actress is in Cannes promoting her two films Wendy and Lisa as well as Synecdoche, New York. This is her her first big appearance since Heath Ledger's death.
