Jennifer Love Hewitt defended Cheryl Burke yesterday who recently received scrutiny for her body size and said the criticism of the Dancing With the Stars competitor’s body is “really insensitive.”
“Cheryl Burke is so beautiful and an amazing dancer and that’s what people should concentrate on,” Hewitt, who fought back against criticism of her own bikini body, said yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Burke was recently criticized by DWTS pros Louis Van Amstel and Maksim Chmerkovskiy for gaining a few pounds over the summer.
“I think [people] feel like people don’t have any feelings,” Hewitt said.
Hewitt has dropped weight since her bikini pictures surfaced last year and she says it’s because she’s been training for a marathon.
“My body just changed,” she said. “When you’re running that much and working out like that, that’s what happens. I was happy with myself in those photos, and I’m still happy.”
Well, whatever she’s doing it’s working. She looked fantastic on the show yesterday!
Wyclef Jean opened up about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s baby twins and claims their twin son is just like his pop!
“Everything is going good,” Jean told Usmagazine.com yesterday at the ProjectOVC Halloween Masquerade Ball in NYC. “Actually, last time my wife was in California, she and Angelina got in touch, and my daughter got a chance to spend some time with her son. So that was great, and they had a great time.”
Jean said that their twin son, Knox, is “a little bit” like his dad.
It looks like there is no longer any bad blood between Britney Spears and her previously estranged mom Lynne.
Spears released another video of her working out on her site, but this one doesn’t just feature her with her trainer. It showcases the pop star taking a run with her trainer and Lynne on a sunny California day.
Looks like Spears body will be in fab shape for her 2009 tour!
Just when it looks like John Mayer may have successfully won former ex Jennifer Aniston back, he has to go and make another stupid comment to Pink of all people.
Mayer reportedly told Pink at a recent party that he only sleeps with “really stupid women”, which sparked a bitter argument between the two. Pink was so disgusted by John’s wild sex claim, and his bizarre personality in general, she’s named him as her most hated celebrity.
She recalled: “I got into an argument with him.
“I don’t believe him as much as he believes him. He said something along the lines of, ‘I only shag really stupid women.’
“And I said, ‘I guess they would have to be.’ I don’t get him at all.”
We’re guessing Jen isn’t going to be too happy to read this report and we don’t blame her! John needs to learn to keep his personal life personal!
The Sun has broken another bombshell story in the Madonna and Guy Ritchie divorce saga and now they’re claiming that Madge controlled her hubby with a “marriage contract”!
In the document, the Material Girl detailed how many dates the couple should go on and how often they should have sex. Sources said Madonna even pinned the contract up in their New York home after they saw marriage counsellors two years ago, and would say to her husband, “Contract, Guy, contract” if he broke the rules.
Here’s a list of some of her rules:
- Guy must work to enrich his wife’s emotional and spiritual well-being.
- Guy must devote several hours a week to reading Kabbalah texts with Madge.
- Guy must only use certain words during arguments to resolve conflicts in a constructive way.
- Guy must never shout and instead say, “I understand that my actions have upset you, please work with me to resolve this.”
- Guy must devote time to sex sessions and not use sex as a stick to beat one another.
Talk about whipped, I can’t believe Guy stayed with Madonna as long as he did. His buddies even nicknamed him Material Guy. Poor guy!
Police may have found the murder weapon in the Hudson family murder.
Police recovered a gun in a lot close to the Suburban where Jennifer Hudson’s nephew, Julian King’s, dead body was found. Police are also looking at the possibility that two people were involved with the murder of Jennifer’s nephew, brother and mother.
It looks like police are getting closer to filing charges. We’re keeping our fingers crossed!
TMZ obtained court documents in Chicago that show how the lives of the slain family members of Jennifer Hudson were intersected.
On March 4, 2002, Chicago cops targeted Jason Hudson, Jennifer’s murdered brother, and Gregory King, the father of Julian, Jennifer’s murdered 7-year-old nephew. Both men allegedly sold crack cocaine to a registered informant. Cops then raided the very home where Jason was murdered last week. According to documents, Jason, Gregory and Julia (Jennifer’s sister) were all arrested.
Julia was never charged with a crime. Jason was charged with cocaine trafficking but the main count was dismissed in 2004 because the judge ruled police conducted an illegal search. During that hearing, Jennifer’s mom had to choose between going to Hollywood to watch her daughter on American Idol or be in court. She chose court.
Gregory was convicted. Jason agreed to enroll in a drug abuse program and the less serious remaining charge was dismissed.
Cops say Jason and Gregory were affiliated with the gang, Gangster Disciples. That’s the same gang that William Balfour, the “person of interest”, allegedly was in.
Neighbors didn’t tell us that Balfour was in a gang; however, they did tell us he dealt drugs.
It’s rumored that Britney Spears will be hosting Saturday Night Live on Nov. 22.
Yes! We can’t get enough of Brit Brit now that she’s kicking butt again and back to her sane self. Then again, we couldn’t get enough of her when she was train wreck too!
Celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberake, Harrison Ford, Tom Cruise and Sacha Baron Cohen (as Borat!) appeared in a new public service announcement to get people to vote yesterday.
In the clip, director Steven Spielberg parodies previous PSAs and tells them to tell fans not to vote.
“You know what? I can’t do it!” Ford finally tells the director. “It’s not true - you want me to tell people that one vote doesn’t count?!”
“I am voting because when I was growing up, my father told me if you don’t vote, then you have to shut up,” Smith says.
This is the second in a series of non-partisan announcements produced by DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way.
It’s very refreshing to see Hollywood band together for a rare non-partisan video to encourage people to vote!
Jada Pinkett Smith Makes Her Directorial Debut In Chicago!
October 29th, 2008
Jada Pinkett Smith arrived at the Chicago International Film Festival at the AMC River East 21 with actor Jason Clarke for their movie premiere last night. But this time Jada wasn’t acting — she was making her directorial debut in the saucy film The Human Contract.
She was wearing a long black coat and did interviews with Clarke by her side. It wasn’t until the end of the red carpet that Jada took off her coat and let reporters sneak a peak at her black sweater, pants and boots underneath. She talked to us about working with her husband Will Smith on the film The Human Contract as well as balancing her career and motherhood.
BG: What inspired the story line for the movie The Human Contract?
JP: The character Julian [played by Jason Clark] did. I really thought of this guy in my mind and the story grew out of this man that I wanted to explore.
BG: Your husband Will Smith worked on the movie as a producer. How was it working with him on the movie?
JP: Hard. Well, in this capacity. It’s not always hard but being a first time director, it made him nervous. As a husband, you know you want to protect and support. We are very extremely two different filmmakers. Sometimes you just have to fall back and allow a individual to be their own creative beingness and it take a little time to figure that out. But we did and we got there and it was a great learning experience for us both — going through this process.
BG: How do you juggle motherhood and your career?
JP: You know you just put one foot in front of the other and you just make it happen and we are very supportive of each other and just stay very spiritually armored so I can do whatever is necessary.
