JENNIFER LOPEZ ADMITS SHES PREGNANT

At the final date of Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez's tour in Miami, J. Lo admits she's expecting. With speculation whirling around for months that she is pregnant, she finally admits it! I think she had done this because she wanted the media's attention by keeping it a secret. The media watched every outfit she wore and what she bought when shopping to create gossip. J. Lo has not had alot of media attention since she married Marc Anthony.

I feel that the couple not telling the press much about their love life made them more wanted for interviews and photoshoots. Obviously it worked but I am not sure what they will do once the baby is born.

Will it be another Tom and Katie mystery of what the baby looks like? Or will we have a Britney Spears baby that is always shown in the media? The world shall soon find out, since J. Lo is about 6 months pregnant!

NEW HOLLYWOOD COUPLE GETS COZY IN THE VERSACE MANSION

According to my sources actress Rachel Bilson and boyfriend Hayden Christensen checked in Casa Casuarina Tuesday night where, according to our snitch, “They had a romantic night that was planned by Bilson--- the couple stayed in the Mansion’s $4,000 a night Safari suite."

Rachel Bilson was dating Adam Brody, former co-star from The OC for over three years and recently split. Since the split, Rachel has been seen on dates with several actors but Hayden has been the one she has chosen.

The couple has kept their relationship very private which is not something Bilson has done with previous relationships.

I found a really funny video of Bilson in her car telling jokes. Beware it's very cheesy yet comical at the same time.

SHAQ AND WIFE SHAUNIE ARE HEADING TO SPLITVILLE

With four children and five years of marriage, Shaq and Shaunie are calling it quits. According to documents, the couple has a prenupital agreement and sealed under court request. In Shaq's decision for a divorce, he claims that Shaunie has been 'secretive about her assets..having alot of certain properties made in only her name.' O'Neil currently makes about $20 million a year playing for the Miami Heat and that is not including all his endorsements. The couple's home in Miami Beach's private Star Island is on the market for $32 million.

I think that Shaq should divorce Shaunie especially if she is being sneaky about investments she is putting in her name. If he caught her doing this, what else has she done without him knowing? A marriage is based upon trust and if you can't trust your wife with your money then you should get a divorce. It is sad that it had to come to a divorce but she caused the marriage to get to this point.

I posted a video of Shaq slam dunking a basket and having the hoop break on him. This is why he is paid the big bucks.

THE REAL GOSSIP GIRL STAR IN TOWN FOR PHOTOSHOOT

Blake Lively is best known for playing Bridget in “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” but is now being identified from Gossip Girl as Serena van der Woodsen, a troubled, socialite teen. Gossip Girl is based off the popular book series written by Cecily von Ziegesar.

In recent gossip, Lively and co-star Leighton Meester who plays Blake Waldorf rival of Lively is jealous that Lively is receiving more media attention then her. Originally Meester was casted as the main character but Lively has blown producers away with her performance that she has received more lines.

Time will show whether the two are true friends at the upcoming award shows in Decemeber.

A fun fact, Chance Crawford who plays Nate Archibald on the show is dating country singer Carrie Underwood. Not bad for Gossip Girl to only have 7 episodes aired and already getting a Grammy winner girlfriend. So obviously people do watch shows on smaller networks not just ABC or NBC; the CW has now shown they have potential in competing ratings.

And have a sneak peak at the show:

ROSIE MIGHT MAKE A COMEBACK TO TV

Our hometown Miami diva Rosie O’Donnell is rumored that she is in negotiations with MSNBC for her own show. Rosie is in talks to have a primetime 9pm slot which puts her in competition with Fox News “Hannity and Colmes" and CNN's "Larry King Live." Currently Rosie does not contain a popular reputation with the public post her few months working on The View.

Since Rosie has been off the View, she has been very busy taking care of her four adopted children. All of them ranging in ages from 6 to 13. Rosie was also spotted with former member of *nsync Lance Bass book signing in South Beach this past weekend.

Only time will tell us whether or not Rosie is able to redeem her reputation by receiving her own television show.

Rosie did have her own television show for a few years, somewhat like Ellen DeGeneres very comical. Then a few years later Rosie was on the View, she no longer was solo and having an entertainment styled show. Having Rosie's opinion on topics come out shocked America but she probably had these views all along but had no reason to discuss them on The Rosie Show.

Fingers crossed to see if Rosie is going to give Larry King a run for his money on ratings.

HOGAN CHARGED WITH DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE

Clearwater Police Department released details pretaining to Nick Hogan's accident on Aug 26. Cops have sited that Nick was drinking the night of the accident.

According to TMZ.com, In addition to Nick being arrested for reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, cops also cited Hogan for use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having an illegal window tint.

In the police report, Hogan was speeding at 60 mph in a 40 mph zone when he spun out and hit a tree.

Attached is a youtube video I found of Nick Hogan racing his car at the track. It's very obvious that he enjoys speeding and driving out of control. On the track, you can see how Nick's car drifts alot because he is going to fast to make the turns. Maybe this whole situation has opened his eyes to reality.

HOGAN PROVIDES COPS WITH DRUG TEST

On Oct. 16th, the Clearwater Police Department released a statement stating that they were waiting on the alcohol and drug test results for Nick Hogan. According to TMZ, in the investigation report it is noted that the roads were very wet and the driver (Hogan) was not using caution.

Below is a link to the official police report released about the accident.
http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_documents/1016_nick_hogan_wm.pdf

The cops will have an answer on whether or not to press charges for drugs or alcohol being related to the accident by Nov. 1st.

After this accident occurred the Hogan family who new residents to Miami Beach have moved back to Clearwater. The family has not made any public appearance like they typically do nor has Nick been seen driving a car. I am not sure if I were the Hogan family that I could allow my son to ever drive a car again. As you probably remember, Nick Hogan a 17 year old boy got into a car accident that now has his friend on life support for over a month now. I would not know how to live with myself if I knew my friend was in that state because of me. In a few weeks things for the Hogan family can either be better or just get worse. Let's pray that John can get out of his coma and not fall into a worst condition.

AMERICAS SMARTEST MODEL CONTESTANT LIVES IN SOUTH FLORIDA

VH1's hit reality television show America's Smartest Model has a local model Brett Novek from Fort Lauderdale. This model is employeed at my current internship Irene Marie Model Management in South Beach.

Does Brett Novek have what it takes to be the smartest model? Being a college graduate from the University of Central Florida with a degree in Marketing, Brett has an advantage to alot of the models on the show. Since I have met Brett, I am aware that he is very intelligent so let's see if he plays the 'dumb model' for a while.

Below is a picture of myself goofing off at the agency. The comp card being held in the picture is Brett Novek. He was actually at the agency when we were taking these pictures of our favorite models. So he yelled for one of the interns to hold up his card too.

The show is based upon the same theory that all models are stupid. So the show has 7 guys and 7 girls who are on the show proving that not all models are stupid. Each week, the models are given tasks to have them show they have brains and beauty too.

In the end, a model will be coveted the title of "America's Smartest Model" and take home $100,000 VO5 Extreme Style prize.

This is not Brett's best picture because his hair is slicked back. However this picture does show off his abs.

NICK HOGANS FRIEND REMAINS ON LIFE SUPPORT

Nick Hogan has been spotted partying at night in South Beach while the passenger in his car accident remains in critical conditions. The accident occurred Aug 29th and John Graziano, 22, still remains at St. Petersburg Hospital. Graziano was evaluated by a registered nurse who claims that he only has gag reflects and responds to a pinch. Graziano's pupils have no response to light which is a sign of blindness. Graziano's doctor H. Bushnell Clarke reports that "his prognosis remains guarded and that he will most likely spend the remainder of his life in a nursing home." Graziano's condition was also described as living on life support his entire life.

Not only is John Graziano in a coma but his parents are fighting over temporary guardianship. The courts granted his mother Debra Graziano temporary custody of her son John. According to Steven Hearn, an attorney for John's father Edward Graziano, the Hogans are allegely financially supporting the whole situation attempting to avoid a potential lawsuit. Rumor has it that Debra has all expenses paid for her to live in a nearby townouse and all medical bills for John are being taken care of under the care of the Hogans.

Whether or not Nick Hogan was speeding is still under investigation but if convicted he can face up to life in prison for attempted manslauder.

KELLY CLARKSON COMING TO CONCERT

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Kelly Clarkson in concert? Wasn't it just this past summer Kelly cancelled her tour due to low ticket sales and her record label pulling her album? Of course that did happen! However, it is all in the past because Kelly Clarkson has made peace with J Records.



According to Ticketmaster.com, Kelly's ticket sales are extremely high for a pop artist to have a fall tour at outdoor amphitheaters. For her album to still remain on the Billboard Top 100 is not surprising for Ms. Clarkson, who has a history of staying on the charts for a while.

Well if you are as excited as I am, Kelly is coming to Mizner Amphitheater in Boca Raton on Nov. 29th. I searched for tickets and there are still some seats close to the stage available.
So before the concert sells out and you miss this beautiful Grammy winner, go buy your tickets!

BRITNEY BREAKS DOWN

As mentioned in my previous blog, I had no idea what it was going to take for Britney to stop partying. On Oct. 1st, when Britney dropped the kids off at her ex husband's house, the courts declared Kevin full custody of the children. In a court order, the judge declared that Britney had to take weekly drug tests, attend parenting classes and was not able to drink alcohol the night before having the children. Also the judge ordered that both Britney and Kevin have valid drivers licenses in the state of California. Britney did not enroll in parenting classes, never took a drug test and had not applied for a California license.

Rumor has it: Britney is on suicide watch and has not returned to her home since the children were taken away from her. Every night she is staying at a new hotel.

Below is a picture of the children with their nanny.
