About mid January, something happened to Gerard Butler. Something shocking. Something that must have really rattled the seemingly unflappable Scot to the bone, because he took swift and decisive action. You see, at some point about mid-January, Gerard Butler woke up one morning and realised that he was dating a woman his own age. Thankfully, the 46 year-old actor realised his predicament and took action; he immediately broke up with his girlfriend, 44 year-old interior designer Morgan Brown. Apparently the couple had been dating for the better part of a year, and Brown was wanting to take their relationship to the next level. Whew! That was a close one! These are dangerous times that we live in, are they not? Just to make sure that there was no lingering trace of old lady smell left over...

The executives at the TLC network officially traded-in what little dignity they had left this week for what we can only assume they’re praying (ahem) will be a payday as big and heavy as Michelle Duggar’s prolapsed uterus. While there hasn’t been an official announcement from the network (shocker), there have been leaks to some rather specific media outlets that TLC is planning on renewing the funding for America’s foremost Christian fundamentalist cloning program by bringing back the “reality” television series “19 Kids and Counting”. I…they…but…hold on a sec… *pours large measure of gin into glass and downs it in one* Whaaaat!? Yes, that’s right everyone. Apparently we, the viewing public, have attention spans so short, that...

As the song goes, another one bites the dust – Hollywood relationships that is, and this time, the alleged couple who are no more is none other than super-mega-A-list actor Bradley Cooper and Russian model, actress, and Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue regular Irina Shayk. For those who don’t read Sports Illustrated, Irina Shayk is known to her friends and family as Irina Valeryevna Shaykhlislamova (you can see why she shortened it). She is primarily a model, and in addition to having a lo-standing run in Sports Illustrated, has worked with brands such as Intimissi, Guess, Victoria’s Secret, and Lacoste. Prior to her relationship with Cooper, she dated soccer (by which I mean football if you are outside the USA) star Christiano Ronaldo. Shark and Cooper met in May of...

Score one for the battle for equality of the sexes, because swooning at the site of a display of sheer unabashed manliness is no longer the sole domain of the fairer sex. According to British gossip machine Page Six (so you know it must be true), a man passed-out cold during the January 29th performance of Arthur Miller’s View From The Bridge, in which Russell Tovey is starring alongside Mark Strong and Phoebe Fox. The show is currently running at the Lyceum Theatre in London’s West End. Not familiar with Russell Tovey? He’s a British actor who has starred in the HBO drama Looking, and the British drama Being Human for 4 seasons. He is also openly gay (not that it matters, just for context for his faintworthiness), and becoming quite well-known as one of those actors who...

They say the third time’s a charm, and let’s hope that it is, because I sincerely doubt that the universe can take much more of Mariah Carey’s engagement ring troll-fest. As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Australian businessman, philanthropist, and billionaire James Packer popped the question to Mimi a few weeks ago. Apparently the couple met just under a year ago, and things turned romantic rather quickly, culminating in Packer proposing to Carey with a…..wait for it…35 karat diamond ring a little less than two weeks ago. Yes, you heard right. That there is a thirty-five karat diamond on Mimi’s ring finger…not like you could actually miss it. It’s pretty hard to find a photo of Mimi from the last few weeks where she isn’t...
