It may be cool this summer in Chi-Town, but Hugh Jackman sure made some local lucky ladies sweat this week! Hugh Jackman has been spotted out and about in the Windy City with his bestie Richard Marx. The duo popped up at Joe's on Thursday night to check out the band KingBilly, and made a crowd of screaming lady fans very happy by taking the stage themselves! "He was a total natural up there singing - very Broadway-esque," an eyewitness tells The Boots Girls. "They sang Richard Marx's number one hit from the 80's, Right Here Waiting [For You], and the women went nuts!" Word has it Jackman was just in town to hang out with his I Love You Man BFF, Richard, at his house in Lake Bluff. Jackman also managed to make women swoon during his workout at The Gym at The James Hotel with personal trainer Jim Karas pre-Joe's. After sweating it out, he took down a smoothie prepared by David Burke’s Primehouse Executive Chef Rick Gresh. Everyone who encountered the sexy Aussie had nothing but nice things to say about him. "He was a very nice and friendly," a source said. "He was awesome!" And he is very nice, friendly and AWESOME to look at. Damn!
Hunky Mark Wahlberg is set to wed his model girlfriend of eight years, Rhea Durham, this weekend! The couple, who began dating in 2001 and have three children together, are finally ready to tie the knot August 1 at the Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills, according to In Touch. "It's going to be a small and intimate event, with just close family, including their kids,” an insider told In Touch, referring to Ella, 5, Michael, 3, and Brendan, 10 months. Damn! These two have been getting busy over the last few years! “It’s like we’re married anyway, but I finally feel like we’re ready to take the step and we’ll have success,” Wahlberg told In Touch earlier this year. We can't wait to see the wedding photos!
The star of VH1's new show Megan Wants a Millionaire was hit with a bombshell on Thursday night as she walked into a party to promote her show at Chicago's Manor nightclub. As Megan Hauserman, who stars in the new reality-TV series where she looks to score a man with bank premiering Aug. 2, walked the red carpet at the hot spot she was served subpoena papers! "A person walked up to her as she walked the red carpet and said 'you've just been served'," a source told The Boots Girls. "It was pretty unbelievable." We're told that the papers came from her ex-fiance who is T'ed off that she won't give the engagement ring back. Sounds like the guy has a lot of class! An Indian giver who goes out of his way to embarrass the woman he wanted to marry by serving her papers at her public event. Nice. Hauserman didn't let that ruin her night though. "She just laughed the incident off," the source said. Good for her! Hauserman had a blast at Manor meeting with fans and hanging out with friends. We're even told that she left hand-in-hand with a guy who isn't a contestant on her show. Hmmmmm.... You go girl!
Will there be any guest star appearances when Jon & Kate Plus 8 returns to TLC next week? The show took a hiatus after Jon and Kate Gosselin publicly announced their separation, so what should viewers expect when the hit reality show resumes on Monday? The usual! Pizza, camping, and maybe dates, according to TLC president Eileen O'Neil, who read a statement about the reality show at Television Critics Associated Panel in Pasadena, Calif. on Thursday. O'Neil explained how the show first began when America fell in love with the Gosselins, and then quickly jumped to the unexpected split of the couple and how the show will change in result. "The show comes back on Monday and most new episodes remain a work in progress," she said. "But I will tell you: the iconic couch is gone. Jon and Kate will now have separate chairs for their interview. Kate has always spoken her mind so we can't wait to see what she has to say when douchebag Jon isn't sitting next to her! "You're still going to see two parents that love their kids, but you'll be seeing them parenting separately," she added. "You'll see what it's like when Kate has to put up a tent for a backyard camping experience by herself. Or, you'll see Jon trying to cook up a pizza for the kids." Should viewers expect to see their life outside the kids? You bet! Viewers will see Jon and Kate date, O'Neill said. "As far as new people and places that may be cycling into Jon and Kate's life, we are taking it on a case-by-case basis." Wow, what started off as a family-oriented show has now turned into a real life soap opera!
Everyone loves a good 'ole O-Bomb, right?! Well maybe not the kind left outside Oprah Winfrey's studio! The Police Bomb & Arson investigators are currently examining a suspicious package found Friday outside Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Productions Inc. studio in Chicago. A security guard found a dark-colored backpack with wires hanging out of it in a flowerbed around 6:20 a.m., police told Usmagazine.com. Fortunately, the package did not blow up leaving everyone uninjured. There couldn't have been much concern about the package considering they did not choose to evacuate the building. "It's an ongoing investigation," Chicago Police News Affairs Officer JoAnn Taylor told Us. We'll be interested to learn the truth behind this little bag of goodies in the coming days...
The Eminem and Mariah Carey drama continues... On Thursday, the rapper premiered a new song, The Warning, in which he bashes Carey by going into full details about a sexual encounter they once had. "Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me. Now I'm pissed off," he says before he starts his rap. She probably refused to see you during your fat days, you weren't looking too hot back then, Em! "You wanna hear something wick wack?/ I got the same exact tattoo that's on Nick's back," he says, referring to Carey's husband Nick Cannon. Hm, bitter much? Sounds to us like he's pissed that Mariah fired back with her much more successful song, Obsessed, in which she mocks him throughout the entire music video. Eminem is really making it a priority to piss Carey off, and has even stooped as low as threatening to release personal pictures he has of the diva. In his new single he asks, "Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?" Carey claims that the two never dated, so who really knows if any of this nonsense is true. We recommend that she take the higher road and continue to let Em look like a loser.
Ed Swiderski may have left his hot shorts at home, but that doesn't mean the mood wasn't steamy during his Thursday night Windy City date with Bachelorette star Jillian Harris. The couple went to dinner at SushiSamba Rio with Bachelor contestant Natalie Getz and Bachelorette season 5 contestant Mike Steinberg. It was a Bachelor love-fest! We're guessing that Houston, Ed's performance problems just may be a thing of the past. At least we hope for Jillian's sake! Eyewitnesses tell The Boots Girls that the newly engaged couple seemed very much in love and affectionate with each other. "They looked very much in love, very affectionate and really seemed to be enjoying themselves," a source told us. "She was wearing her ring and confirmed she is moving to Chicago in September 2009." The group enjoyed the SushiSamba cocktail tree and dined on white asparagus gazpacho, and aji tuna a la plancha. The honeymoon is clearly still on - we say they don't make it till the end of the year. But hey, you never know! Photo Credit: Andrew Fearman
Florida model Samantha Burke is claiming to be prego with Jude Law's fourth child! "Ms. Burke can confirm that she did in fact have a relationship with Mr. Law and that she has informed Mr. Law that she is expecting his child later this fall," her lawyer, who is not identified, told TMZ.com. "Since informing Mr. Law of the pregnancy, he has been nothing but responsive and supportive of Ms. Burke and the pregnancy." On Wednesday, Law, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost whom he famously cheated on with the nanny among others, announced he was expecting a fourth child with an unidentified former lover. Law is scheduled to perform Hamlet on Broadway in October, and will star with Robert Downey Jr., in the film Sherlock Holmes opening on Christmas Day. Oh Jude, you just can't keep your dick in your pants can you?!
Lookout ladies - A-Rod is in Chicago without his new woman! The hottie New York Yankee popped up in the Windy City with his team on Wednesday night, and his new gal pal, Kate Hudson, apparently did not come along for the ride.

With Jessica Simspon recovering from her recent split from Tony Romo, production on her new reality show is at a standstill. "The plan was to shoot most of it around Tony's football schedule so she could support him through the season," a show staffer on Simpson's show, The Price of Beauty reports to Us Weekly. "Now they're busy redoing the whole shooting schedule," continues the source. Us also reports that Romo had been sending "flirty texts" to Natalie Smith, a younger and skinnier Simpson look-a-like, while still dating Jessica. He even introduced Smith to Simpson at one of her concerts earlier this year! Ew, what a sleaze. "We hung out for, like 10 to 15 minutes, backstage," Smith tells Us. "She was cool and nice." Now, a source close to Smith is revealing that she and Romo"are not officially dating, but they are having an intimate relationship." Things may seem tough right now Jess, but this whole debacle looks to us like a blessing in disguise! Tony seems like a total dog and we're so glad you're out of that dysfunctional mess. Good luck Natalie Smith... we already feel sorry for you.
