John Edwards, whose estranged wife, Elizabeth, passed away a few weeks ago after a battle with cancer, has reportedly popped the question to his baby mama and partner in busting up a long-term marriage, Rielle Hunter.
Sources indicate that she said yes, and I have no doubts that this story is totally legit – it was the Enquirer that broke the story of the affair those years ago, so why wouldn’t they be spot-on this time, too? It’s like the magazine has a bug stuck to Edwards’ ass, which transmits messages every time he shits, cheats, or proposes to some crazy-eyed famewhore.
And speaking of which, the headline on the latest edition screamingly directs John’s two young children to CALL RIELLE MOMMY. Because yes. Calling the woman who broke your mommy and daddy up ‘Mommy’ is probably just as rational as assuming that these children forgot that their mother died three weeks ago.
This is going to be a totally normal, non-obsessive relationship. For sure.
For those of you who have been following the case against Howard K. Stern and the doctors that provided Anna Nicole Smith with the prescription drugs that ultimately killed her, today’s just another frustrating day. After the jury brought back a guilty verdict on two of the nine counts of conspiracy Stern was facing, the judge threw them out claiming that the conviction was baseless.
The judge also ruled that Khristine Eroshevich, a doctor that provided Smith with a Vicodin prescription, not be sentenced to more than a year’s probation and a $100 fine, saying that she’d acted out of concern for Smith.
Thankfully the DA, Steve Cooley, is pissed and told TMZ, “We strongly disagree with Judge Robert Perry’s ruling today. [The ruling] diminishes the huge social problem of prescription drug abuse facilitated by irresponsible caretakers and unscrupulous medical professionals.”
Cooley also added that he’s going to start the appeal process on this case, but hasn’t yet decided whether or not he’ll retry Stern on the charges that came back not guilty.
This entire case has made a circus of our court system. Whenever cases get dragged out for this long, the evidence gets completely watered down and the true facts seem to go missing. If Howard K. Stern wasn’t the defendant in this case, I’m pretty sure a string of guilty verdicts would have come back ages ago. He’s always, since our first introduction to him on The Anna Nicole Show, been a master manipulator and a screaming, crying baby.
Does anyone doubt for a second that this guy is G-U-I-L-T-Y?
Let’s take a quick break from the timely gossip to have a sniffly moment in front of our laptops, shall we?
A friend IMed me a link to this father and daughter (Jorge & Alexa Narvaez) doing an acoustic cover of Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros’ song “Home” last night and it’s kind of a killer. Like, I’m already writing a movie about these two in my head and it’s everything that Somewhere should have been. When Alexa turns to her dad halfway through and says, “One day I’m gonna whistle?”, I think I died.
Get these two a record contract, a variety show, a made-for-TV movie and an Ellen appearance like YESTERDAY, Hollywood.
Today’s blind item comes from our homies over at Gawker and features a particularly plump and unhappy songstress:
While getting ready for an upcoming awards show, this B list, aging musician literally ripped her dress to shreds at a fitting when she tried it on. She was upset because it was too tight, but what she was really venting were her frustrations that she had gained weight. Two months prior, she had tried on the dress and it fit. When she tried it on later and it was too small, she got so angry she ripped it to pieces in front of the designer.
A woman with a weight problem in Hollywood? That narrows it down. Yeesh. But B-list is a good hint and eliminates a lot of the greats. I’m doubting this is Cher, Babs, Aretha or Celine, who would all otherwise be shoe-ins.
Could it be Jewel, who performed at the Emmys and seems totally peaceful but you KNOW has a weird side because of her whole entire third album? What about Christina Aguilera, who is still skinny by most standards, but definitely rocking a rounder look than she has in previous years?
Let me preface this by saying that I adore Drew Barrymore. I kind of have to – I made a promise to my 11-year-old self after watching Ever After, and I’m in it for the long haul. But I have always been of the opinion that there is only one occasion that a pale person like Drew should wear orange, and that’s the occasion that has her at a club, tripping on ecstasy and watching some talented dude twirl some glow sticks. And even then it should only be a teddy bear purse or the primary color of your body glitter, not some stupid shapeless dress with inexplicable gathering at the knees.
