Angelina Jolie Fixing Her Daddy Issues?
The feud is over! The word on the street is that Angelina Jolie and her father, Jon Voight, are patching things up.
She said: "We're in contact now and writing letters. My parents gave me a strong social conscience as well as any acting genes I may have."
Jolie cut off ties with her dad when he cheated on her mother, but she is willing to work through the rocky relationship so her children can know their grandfather. They haven't spoken in many years, evidently.
Good for her (even if the feud makes for juicier gossip)!
Ryan Seacrest's Giant Dog
We know Ryan Seacrest is a little guy, but this is ridiculous. We're not sure if this dog is just regular-sized and looks gigantic, or if it's really a big guy.
Seacrest sent this to us via Twitter. He tweeted: "My new homie http://twitpic.com/o9oo8"
How cute.
Kirstie Alley Gets a Reality Show
Kirstie Alley has tackled her weight on television before, but only on the scripted show, Fat Actress. She's decided to take another stab at it on a new reality show on A&E.
The show will be about her life as a single mom in Hollywood, and her struggle with weight gain. It will air sometime next year.
A&E said: "Her personal life has been playing out in the media for years, but this will be the first time she'll be opening up her home to reveal her real life for the cameras."
We want to say that this sounds exciting, and since it's A&E, we think it will be respectful. We're just hope her struggles with weight won't be played for laughs.
Nina Garcia's Project Runway Regrets
This season of Project Runway has sucked.
There we said it.
The designers have been just so-so. No one has a big enough personality to interest us. (Where's this year's Christian Siriano?) And not least of all, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors were MIA for most of the challenge. What gives?
"It was either missing the Paris shows or being on Project Runway," she said. "And I really wanted to see the Paris shows, I think that was very important." She regrets missing so much, but promises that the next season, which will be back in New York again, has all the judges all the time.
That's a relief, but get us some interesting designers too, okay?
Kim Kardashian Gets Punched in the Face (For Charity!)
Who knew Kim Kardashian would go down so fast? It was a TKO for charity last night when Kardashian stepped into the ring in an all pink outfit.
Her opponent had won the right to punch out the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star in a charity auction in Califnornia.
Also we would be totally lying if we said we didn't want to step into the ring with any of the Kardashians or Jenners, so we're a little jealous.
Rihanna Opens Up Finally About Chris Brown
Rihanna is finally talking about being beat up by ex-boyfriend Chris Brown last year. She sat down with Diane Sawyer for an interview that will be on Good Morning America and 20/20 this week.
"This happened to me...It can happen to anyone," she says.
She also talked to Glamour and said: "The positive thing that has come out of my situation is that people can learn from that. I want to give as much insight as I can to young women, because I feel like I represent a voice that really isn't heard. Now I can help speak for those women."
That's awesome. Go Rihanna!
Lady Gaga is a "Stylemaker"
Are you going to start wearing lace masks? Now that Lady Gaga is officially a "stylemaker" you may have to.
The Accessories Council gave her it's Stylemaker award last night in New York.
We love Lady Gaga's outfits at awards shows and on stage. She's outrageous in just the way a pop star should be (see also: Madonna, Elton John, etc.), but does it count as style? We thought they were costumes. Maybe that's why we're not a part of the Accessories Council.Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to Tag Team the Oscars
Just last week we were wondering who the next Oscar host would be, and now, here we have our answer!
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin are teaming up to co-host the awards, which will be given out on March 7th.
Martin has hosted twice before, and Baldwin is a former nominee, and both are pretty funny. We're very okay with this decision.The Sorta-Star-Studded NYC Marathon
The New York City Marthon was this weekend and the stars came out for it (some of them anyway).
Edward Norton and Anthony Edwards, who are in better shape than we ever thought, finished in under four hours, and Alanis Morisette came in just under four-and-a-half.
It's a pretty awesome accomplishment, considering that most people around the country spent Sunday morning nursing a hangover from a Halloween party. That may have included Teri Hatcher and David Blaine, by the way, who were rumored to be running and didn't show. (Hatcher's rep did say she was home with the flu though. A likely story!)
It Could Have Been So Beautiful
Are you sitting down for this one, because you probably should be.
Rosie O'Donnell, who's always telling it like it is, went on Howard Stern's Show last week and said that she once shared a connection with Angelina Jolie that could have turned into love.
"She gave me her phone number," O'Donnell said. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through."
And: "I was a little afraid of her. She's scary in a sexual kind of way. I have dreams about her a lot still."
All right, that's all we needed to hear.
